Showdown 1 and 2
" And now the final episode of Space Heroes!" The t.v announced. Me and Leo sat in front of the t.v, sharing a bowl of popcorn. I found the show pretty funny and unpredictable, can't believe I got dragged into it.
" Captain! The destructinators are on our tail! We're. . .lost." His copilot cried.
" I've got an idea!" Captain Ryan leaned forward. " It's crazy. It defies all logic. It's illegal in 16 solar systems and. . . . my mother would most assuredly not approve!" He clenched his fist. " But it just...might...work." He pressed a large green button on his chair, but nothing happened, as the alarms blared the power failing. " Nope! Abandoned ship!" He yelled giving up.
" Wait what!? That can't happen!" I pointed an arm, throwing popcorn in the air.
Leo gasped hearing him already giving up. " Huh?"
The whole space crew started to enter the elevator except, Captain Ryan. " Captain, aren't you coming?" The young kid cried.
" A true captain goes down with his ship."
The kid saluted. " Sir, it's been a privilege-"
" Just go!" The Captain slapped him interrupting an emotional speech. One which I wanted to hear. The crew left leaving the man alone in his chair. " Well, old girl, it's just you and me."
Leo put both hands on his head. " What a hero."
" I'll say." I munched on a popcorn, waiting to see what would happen next, till the t.v was shut off. " What!? Nooo!" I cried clinging to the t.v. " Why would you do that!?" I cried looking to Donnie who was holding the remote, my face sliding against the screen.
" What are you doing!?" Leo narrowed his eyes looking at his brother. " That's the final episode of Space Heroes!"
" I've got something a little more important." Donnie glared at him.
* Lab *
" April and I have been sifting through all this Kraang chatter, and, well listen to what we translated." Donnie typed away on his keyboard. As we all gathered around.
" Wow and you survived." I crossed my arms with a smirk.
The orb that April had found started to light up. " The final phase of the plan known as Kraang's invasion shall commence in the unit of time that is six hours. The Technodrome shall arrive from dimension x through the portal."
" Are you sure this is the translated version?" Mikey asked.
The turtles facepalmed, as I just giggled at the question. " They said in six hours, something called the technodrome is coming through that portal. This is the final phase of the Kraang invasion." Donnie explained.
" Wait. But I thought April was the key to the Kraang plot, and they don't have her." Leo crossed his arms in thought.
" Why would they want her for?" I raised a brow.
" I thought you would've of known something about that." Raph glared at me.
" Me? What are you trying to get here huh?' I growled.
" First you were with the Kraang, and second you were the one tracking her down." Raph poked my shoulder.
" Oh! Just because I was with Kraang means I know everything! Doesn't it!" I growled, we got into each others faces fire in our eyes.
" Would you two stop it." Donnie cutted in standing between us. " If that technodrome comes through that portal, well, it sounds like the end of the world."
" So what do we do?" Raph huffed.
" Guys…we've gotta find a way to shut that portal down. It's up to us." Leo's mood changed eyeing everyone.
" Now you're speaking my language." I pounded a fist.
" To save the world?" Mikey rubbed his head unsure.
" Leonardo is right?" Splinter appeared walked into the lab. " When you first went up to the surface, I feared you were not ready. But I have some to realize that you are not only ready to become heroes, it was your destiny." He eyed his sons. " And if the fate of the world must rest in somebody's hands. I am grateful it is yours." They bowed to each other before taking off to prepare for what's to come.
Leo walked passed Splinter to catch up to his brothers. " Leonardo, a moment please."
I sat in Donnie's chair hearing what he has to say. " With the world at stake, the only thing of importance is that you complete your mission."
" Yes sensei."
" No matter what you have to sacrifice...or who."
Leo nodded as Splinter walked passed him leaving him alone. " Maybe won't nothing comes to that." I spun in the chair. Leo eyed me not realizing I was still there.
" Hope can only take you so far." He turned his shell to me.
" Hmph. I don't believe in hope." I smirked jumping off the chair. " Things happen for a reason or the chips just fall where the may. So no one can hope to come back safe from this. They just happen." I placed a hand on his shoulder.
" Are you coming with us?"
I started walking and looked back at him from the doorway. " Wouldn't miss it for the world. Well if there's still a world left."
" Right."
* Later *
The turtles got ready, Raph wore all kinds of weapons and his brothers didn't do much but plan the whole time. A small metal turtle stood beside Donnie. Bending down I poked it's forehead.
" Donnie, what is this thing?" I asked as we waited in front of the lair for the others.
" This thing is Metalhead." He patted its head.
" Metalhead huh?" I smiled. " Cool. Is it operational?"
" Fully." He grinned pulling out a headset placing it on his head.
" Everyone ready?" Leo asked joining us, along with Mikey and Raph.
" Ready to go." Donnie answered with a thumbs up.
Splinter and April walked in, the redhead went over to Donnie hugging him, surprising the turtle, he hugged back. " Gentlemen-" I faked a cough and punched Leo's arm ruining his moment. " And lady. . . let's save the world." The Shellraiser's door opened up with a ding as we walked in taking our places. Donnie had finally placed another seat for me to sit in, so I wouldn't be flopping all over the floor. " Hold on guys." Leo warned as he slammed down on the pedal. Donnie opened up the secret exit out onto the city's streets.
" Alright guys, we're gonna keep it simple. We go into TCRI we use the micro-fission-omni-disintegrator, which Donnie calculates is powerful enough to destroy the portal with a single shot."
" Well, then why didn't we use it last time?" Mikey complained.
" Because we didn't have it last time." Donnie answered lamely.
" You have an answer for everything, don't you, Donnie?"
" Yes, I do." The purple masked turtle smirked.
" Good on Donnie. Speaking of ' good one," Raph turned to Leo, " are you sure this plan will work, Leo!?"
" It has to work."
" One question. How are we going to get into TCRI?" I asked as the Shellraiser went over a speed bump. " For such a momentous occasion for the Kraang. I don't think they'd like us crashing the party, by just knocking on their door."
" That's where this little guy comes in." Donnie grinned gesturing to Metalhead.
* TCRI *
The Shellraiser rammed into TCRI's entrance unleashing Metalhead. Donnie controlled the small robot from a distance as we flew through in the air. Giving us an opening we need.
" Whoo-hoo!" Leo cheered. Donnie had created backpack wings powered by fans. Which I was impressed. I changed into a cat clinging onto Mikey's pack.
" Nice work Donnie!" Raph shouted over the wind.
" You know what it's time for!?" Mikey flew upside down, I screamed my claws digging into his pack. " The world's first ever mid air high three!" They all yelled in excitement and flew higher into the air doing their high three.
Not able to hold on I screamed as I fell through the air. I am never riding with Mikey, ever again! I was so scared I reverted back to my normal form unable to concentrate. " Help!" I screamed. My back faced the oncoming ground, I braced myself for a world of pain.
" I got you!" Leo nose dived catching me bridal style. I didn't want to open my eyes fearing that I was still falling, which made him chuckle. " You can open your eyes now."
" Nope I'm good." I clung to him for dear life, my arms wrapped around his neck. He blushed lightly from the contact.
" Will you two stop with the mushy stuff and get to Kraang beatin'." Raph rolled his eyes.
" Alright guys, lets do this." Leo's eyes went white, as they sped up the pace. The wind blew through my dark brown hair. Finally opening my eyes I saw the city lights shimmer. I've never really pictured the city this way. It was...beautiful.
We had finally landed on the top floor of TCRI. Raph scared away some pigeons, landing on a ledge. I changed into a cat making it easier for Leo. "Oh dear God! I swear I won't look down." I jumped onto his shoulder tucking half my body into his shell, making him laugh.
" Quit that. That tickles." He whispered.
" Sorry." I laughed nervously. " I can't handle being this...high... up…" I peek over his shoulder seeing tiny cars and people down below. " Please don't fall." I started to hyperventilate.
" You'll be fine." Leo patted my head. They took off their packs leaving them on the ledge saying they'll use them as an escape.
Raph grabbed a pigeon lifting it up to a Kraang surveillance camera on the corner of the building. Clutching onto Leo we started to move along the ledge. Raph set the bird down patting its head once we all were two Kraang droid keeping watch. " It is quiet." One spoke. " Precisely the correct amount of quiet." The Kraang looked around for something to happen.
" Hey, Kraang! Nah nah nah nah!" Mikey started making weird face and blew raspberries. He started dancing and pretended to fall over the ledge but used his brass hooks to latch himself onto the side of the building. The Kraang walked over to see if he actually fell, only for Donnie to smack them with his staff, slamming them over the edge.
" Nice one." I grinned.
" Thank you." Donnie bowed.
They got their grappling hooks out shooting it to the other side of the building and slid across. Donnie created an opening by creating a large hole in the glass ceiling to get inside, seeing the portal was being guarded by a one and only Lava creature. One that I knew all too well. I've had a run in with the thing many times with every escape attempt damn thing can pack a punch for a rock being.
I jumped out of Leo's shell landing on a beam beside them. " We gotta take out that portal." Donnie whispered.
" Isn't that why we came here?" I grinned, crouching down.
" I forgot about him." Raph watched wide eyed at the Lava creature.
" Don't worry. We'll be gone before that rock monster even knows we're here." Donnie whispered.
Leo pulled out the disintegrator fully charged aiming it directly at the portal. " Okay guys, this all ends in, three, two, one." He pulled the trigger shooting a ball of energy at the portal. But it didn't take effect, a shield took the blow. " What!? There's a force field. Why didn't you tell me!?" Leo screamed at Donnie.
" Well, because I wanted us to fail. Obviously I didn't know!" Donnie yelled back.
The Kraang took notice of us, as they started to surround the portal. " Let me just be the one to say... .Screwed." The Kraang started to fire.
" Anyone got a plan B?" Raph asked.
There was a growl behind us, slowly we turned to see the lava creature slam a fist down. Screaming we jumped off the beams, I hitched a ride on a floating Kraang pod. It hissed and smacked it's little tentacles at me trying to shake me off. " It's like you're not even trying." I smirked grabbing it's limbs tying them together. " Better."
Leo was cornered, against a wall as the Lava being was ready to stomp down on him. In a panic Leo blasted its leg off, rolling under it. " Donnie, how's that plan B coming!?"
" I'm thinking!" Donnie used a Kraangs body as a shield from a barrage of energy bullets.
" Well think faster!" Leo shot the creature's arm off as it got back up.
" I can probably hack into the Kraang system if you'd give me enough time!" The arm of the creature crushed the Kraang droids that pinned Donnie down.
" Great! Do that!" Leo flipped through the air dodging the Kraang's fire.
I flipped into the air kicking the Kraang pod into the ground. The little alien was knocked unconscious from the blow, giving me an idea. " Have you guy's ever played soccer!?" I grinned kicking the little pod into a Kraang's stomach face, bouncing back to me. " Goal!" I cheered kicking it again, this time knocking over two of them.
" Guys look!" Mikey cried pointing to the portal. " The portal!
" Whatever's coming through the portal is gonna be here soon!" Leo shot off another limb of the creature.
" We have to take it out, now!" I yelled, as I roundhouse kicked a Kraang grabbing it's gun aiming it upward before it could go off.
" I'm working on it!" Donnie yelled.
" Leo don't! You'll only waste the energy on the blaster!" I yelled seeing Leo jump in the air and blasted the weapon into the Lava man's chest, all its limbs separating. The blue masked turtle was recoiled back into a wall his shell taking most of the blow. I ran over worried that he was hurt. Helping him help, the limbs started to roll into place of the Lava man reassembling itself.
" Uh? I forgot he could do that." Mikey said stepping back from a crawling hand.
" Not good." Leo muttered, waiting for the blaster to recharge.
" Guys I think I got it!" Donnie announced, as his toaster dinged. He turned and watched as the force field shut down. " Yes! All hail me!" He cheered.
But that didn't stop it from turning on. " Oh no." I shrunk back. A beam of light shot through the glass ceiling, as something huge came into our world.
The Technodrome.
" Holy giant floaty shippy-ship." Mikey watched in horror.
Now that we were on the same level the Kraang surrounded us aiming the weapons and firing. Ducking back to back, " Leo do the zippy-zappy thing now!" Mikey cried.
" Come on baby, come on baby, come on baby!" The blaster beeped fully charged. " YES!" He swiftly aimed it at the portal. " Say good night Kraang!" With a click of the weapon Leo pulled the trigger, only for it to make poop sound.
" What the shell!?" I yelled almost ripping my hair out.
" What the heck happened!?" Donnie yelled.
" I think the batteries died!" Leo answered.
A Kraang droid charged at us, but Raph used his sai to hold it back using it as a shield. " And we'll be joining 'em unless someone thinks of something!"
" What's plan C Leo!?" Donnie asked.
Frantically looking around, I spotted the power cell. Tapping on Leo's shoulder I pointed to it giving him an idea. " Donnie, what would happen if I ruptured the power cell!?" Leo yelled over the gunfire.
" The whole place would go up...with us in it!"
I saw that steel look on his face as he pulled out his sword. " GO!"
" Leo! You're not thinking what I think you're thinking!?" Donnie asked, but the only answer he got was when he charged at the Kraang. " He's thinking it!"They turned and ran for the opening in the window ceiling we made. But I didn't run, instead I changed into Leatherhead and started to force my way through the Kraang. Leo moved so fast my eye's couldn't keep up as he slashed at the legs of the Kraang droids.
" X!? What are you doing! Get outta of here now!" He yelled circling around the portal.
" No way! You made a promise, and I'm going to see you fulfill it!" I roared, tackling down the Lava man as it tried to make it's way to Leo.
There was a strong force blasting everything everywhere, forcing me to revert back. " Let's go!" Leo grabbed me in his arms, breaking through the glass. But there was a blast that knocked us apart. My body crashed into the edge of the building hearing something snap inside me making me scream in pain. I struggled to get a hold of something. But I found a pack that the turtles had used to make their way up here. In realization it was Leo's. " Damn it!" Then that means! Looking over the building I saw a figure falling towards the ground.
Leo.
Oh god. I can't believe I'm doing this! I put on the pack and jumped off the edge nose diving to get to him faster. On the inside, my body was screaming, but I can't just let my friend die! Getting closer I reached my arms out ready to grab him. I saw him brace himself, as the ground got nearer. " I got you!" I grabbed him from under the arms, feeling the pain in my arm.
Leo let out a large sigh of relief as we flew through the air. " Thank's X." He looked up at me, his relief turning to worry. " You're hurt."
" Huh?" Something warm dripped down the side of my head. " I-it's fine.I've been through worse." I smirked before clenching my jaw shut. Something tells me that snapping sound was from my arm.
" I can't believe it! We saved the world!" Donnie flew in beside us, grinning.
" Yeah! That wasn't so hard, was it?" Mikey whooped.
As they cheered, the Technodrome came in from beside us ruining the moment. " Move!" I yelled, diving to the side, the others following. And before floated the huge ship it's large eye stared directly at us. " Uh... I gotta stop saying stuff like that." Mikey gulped. " I think I speak for all of us when I say…" He started screaming, as we started to fly away from it trying to keep our distance.
Leo climber onto my back, as my arms we're getting tired of carrying him. " What the heck is that thing!?" Raph yelled looking back at it.
" It's the end of the world!" Leo cried.
" Actually, it's just the end of humanity's reign as the planet's dominant life form. You know, like when the dinosaurs-"
" Now!? Really!?" Y-You're gonna do this now?" Leo glared at Donnie cutting him off.
" Well, excuse me but it's how I deal with stress!" Donnie barked back.
" Guys that's the Technodrome!" I yelled cutting in.
" Well maybe it doesn't have weapons. Does it look like it has weapons?" Raph asked.
Just then an energy blaster shot passed us. " I think it has weapons!" Leo answered, as we started to fly around trying to evade the blasters.
" AHHH!" Mikey screamed fly around frantically but in his panic he clashed into Donnie, sending them plummeting onto a roof of a building. " Donnie! Mikey!" Leo yelled.
" What now!?" Raph yelled zooming through the air.
" Look out!" I warned, but it was to late we had already crashed into each other, the wings got entangled, as we plummeted down towards the city.
" Brace yourselfs." Leo yelled, unlatching the winged backpack from around me and pulled me close as we aimed down into an alleyway, smacking against a wall. Falling Raph landed in the trash can and me and Leo hit an old mattress cushioning our fall.
Me and Leo were sprawled over each other dizzy. But my body was to exhausted to get up, and my arm hurt like hell. " Are you guys alright?" Donnie and Mikey rushed in, as Raph got himself out of the trashcan. Leo got up helping me to my feet. " Been better." Raph answered, rubbing his head.
The Technodrome had begun to hover over the city, people started to panic running through the streets, sirens blared off in the distance. " What do we do now!?" Donnie turned to Leo.
" We need to talk to Splinter. Come on." Leo opened up a nearby manhole cover.
* Lair *
" Hello? Sensei!?" Leo's voice echoed.
" April!?" Donnie called out.
" Spike!?" Raph yelled jumping over the turnstiles. Spike popped his head out between some pillows on the couch. " * sigh * Don't scare me like that buddy." He ran over and lifted the little tortoise placing it on his shoulder.
Leo settled me down on the couch looking at my injuries. " Let me see your head." He moved my hair aside, which was covered in blood. " It should be an easy fix." He smiled softly, but looked at my bruised arm. " What happened?" He tried to lift it only to heat me whimper in pain. " Carol."
" It's fine. I've been through worse remember." I tried to play it off but it didn't work from the look he was giving me.
" * sigh * I'll get Donnie to take care of it." He said getting up.
In just a few moments, Donnie had his first-aid kit and wrapped my arm in a bandages and gave me a little arm sling to support my arm. " You should be more careful." Donnie said closing his first-aid box.
" I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm blasted out of a 100 story building." I deadpanned.
" Ju-" He was cut off, as Mikey's scream filled the air, alerting us.
We rushed into the dojo seeing Mr. O'Neil trying to attack Mikey. Then Raph, Leo and Donnie dogpiled on him shoving him to the floor. " What the heck is going on?" Raph asked.
" Guy's check this out." Donnie pointed to a chip on his neck pulling it out. The man groaned feeling his senses returning to him. Donnie led him to the couch in the living area.
" So, what is it?" Leo asked, as Donnie held the chip in his fingers.
" I think it's a mind control device."
" Really?" Raph snatched it and grabbed Mikey's shell threatening to put it on the small turtle. " No! Stop it! Stop it!" Mikey pleaded.
" Raph." Leo crossed his arms.
" Give me that thing!" I snatched it from his hand, and threw it to the ground and started to stomp on it till it was in pieces. " Never again." I huffed, kicking the destroyed device.
Mr. O'Neil groaned rubbing his head, the turtles surrounded him concerned. " Mr. O'Neil? Are you okay?" Donnie asked in worry.
" I've done something terrible." He frowned hanging his head.
" Well it wasn't your fault Mr.O'Neil." Donnie placed a hand on his shoulder. " Just tell us what happened."
" It appears the Kraang have formed an alliance with your enemy, Shredder." He looked up his voice filled with panic. " That's not all. I fear Shredder has handed April over to the Kraang."
" Shredder kidnapped April!?" Donnie asked shocked.
" Sensei must've gone after her." Raph implied.
" So where's April now?" Donnie's was full of worry.
" They're taking her to the Technodrome."
" The what?" Raph raised a brow.
" The giant ball in the sky." I answered.
" We just escaped that freaky sphere!" Raph complained. " Now we gotta break into it?"
" In a matter of hours the world we once knew will be gone. The Kraang want April to help in their conquest of earth." The old man spoke.
" Jeez. You make it sound like they already destroyed the planet." I deadpanned.
" Run for your ever lovin' lives! Because they're abducting us!" The news reporter yelled. " That's right! Men, women, children. Even pet's aren't safe!" The cameraman zoomed in on the Technodrome dropping down pods capturing people and animals. " Kraang must collect human specimens for Kraang."Flying orbs filled the streets, but the thing was, I recognized that street. The camera zoomed in on a house.
My house.
Feeling my blood go cold, I saw my father running with my mother. But another person knocked her over in the hysteria. Dad tried to pick her but a large orb snatched them up whole. " Nonono! NO!" I yelled as I ran at the t.v and started to bang on the screen. " They have them! They can't do that! Those alien freaks!" Tears fell down my cheeks in anger.
" X! Calm down!" Mikey tried to pull me away from the t.v.
" How can I calm down!? The stupid squids have my parents. And you want me to be calm down!" I yelled in his face.
" Enough." Leo said separating me from him. " You can't take this out on Mikey." He looked at the crying girl, who just witnessed her parents being abducted. " Hey, look at me." He placed a hand on her cheek making her look at him. " I promise. We will get them back."
I sniffled wiping away the tears. " We better."
* Topside *
We sticked to the shadows, avoiding the Kraang orbs. Car's were tipped over or on fire. It's like the city was abandoned. We watched as two orbs landed in the middle of a street. But Kraang droids guarded them. We hid behind a fallen cab.
" We gotta get into one of those pods." Leo spoke.
" But how?" Donnie peeked his head out. " There are eight Kraang droids between us and there."
" We could create a diversion." Leo suggested.
" Excuse me, how many did you say there were?" Raph whispered.
" Eight." Leo answered turning back to Donnie.
Me and Raph looked at each other, nodding. We slipped out from the side, I took the left and he took the right. I grabbed the droid from the neck twisting it and hitting it's back against my knee. Taking notice they started to fire. Going camo mode I roundhouse kicked the second one slamming it against a car. Revealing myself the last two aimed their weapons at me, so I jumped up and landed between them and ducked, making them shoot each other down.
" Or...that...might work. Let's go!" Leo ordered. " Everyone in the pod." He opened the lid as we filed in one by one. Suddenly the orb started moving levitating into the sky and into the Technodrome.
" Okay guys. This is it. On three." Leo gestured to open the lid. " One, two, three."We all jumped out only we didn't land on anything solid as we floated in the air flailing our arms around.
" What the heck's going on!?" Raph growled.
" I think the Kraang forgot to pay their gravity bill!" Mikey float backwards upside down. A large metal rod grabbed him making everyone gasp, but turned when we heard from him floating around.
" It appears the Kraang have generated Anti-Gravitons." Donnie exclaimed.
" Is there anyway for you to generate anti-Anti-Gravitons?" Leo asked trying to keep his balance.
" You mean Gravitons?"
" Yes."
" No."
" How are we gonna get to April if we can't even move?" I floated upside down near the ceiling.
" Guys, I'm gonna throw up," Mikey's stomach gurgled, " or down. Or maybe sideways. But one thing's for sure. I'm majorly gonna throw." An incoming orb hit his back pushing him along.
" We still have a job to do, so let's go." Leo ordered as we all grabbed onto the pod. A metal rod pulled the pod inside a tube. We let go before it could reject us, waiting for three Kraang squids to fly by.
" Yo, zero-G is banging. The Kraang should put this into a carnival ride." Mikey threw his arms out in excitement.
" I wouldn't pay to ride a Kraang contraption." I said lamely.
" Uh, I think they're more interested in using it to destroy the earth." Leo glared at him.
" It could do both." Mikey grinned.
A distant scream reached our ears, bringing us back to attention. " It's April!" Donnie yelled.
" Can you say that a little louder? I don't think the entire Technodrome heard you." Raph glared at his brother. We stared passed him as a horde of Kraang appeared behind him. " Never mind. They did."
They pulled out their weapons and launched themselves at the squids. Leo launched himself wall to wall slashing the Kraang. Raph floated around flailing his legs trying to move. Mikey used his chain and managed to grab on of the floating Kraang swinging it around I launched myself kicking one right in the face. Quickly we started to make our way deeper into the Technodrome, more Kraang surrounding us.
Once they were all taken out, we heard April scream again this time it sounded like it was right beneath us. Raph used his sai to open up a panel, floating our way through a vent. There were wires everywhere slowing us down, but at least they led us to April.
The redhead was held down on metal table with a helmet stuck to her head, and mutagen tubes along with it. " Witness the end of your kind!" A large Kraang grinned maliciously.
" Not if we can help it!" We came into view.
" The turtles!?" Kraang screamed. " Kraang will not be stopped by pathetic mutants."
" At least we're not stupid aliens." Mikey grinned. I high fived him at his insult.
" Raph, X quick!" Leo shouted.
We both jumped down landing on Kraang's face. I kicked it right in the eye as it screeched in pain. Donnie unlocked the metal clamps around April releasing her. She fell over mentally exhausted. She looked up at Donnie and smiled. " You're my hero." Donnie chuckled, blushing deeply.
" Hey chuckles. We gotta get outta here." Raph exclaimed.
" You were a failed experiment!" Kraang screamed. " Kraang had only used you to perfect Kraang's mutagen, on you... subject X." It grinned.
" Why you!?" I screamed ready to attack the giant head.
" Don't, it isn't worth it." Raph grabbed my arm. " We gotta get outta here."
" Fine." I yanked my arm away from him and followed the others as they climbed up the wires.
We had found our way through another route as the Kraang shot after us. Donnie carried April on his back, the Kraang were everywhere. Leo and Raph took down any that got in our way, suddenly we found ourselves in an open level.
" Looks like the only way out, is up!" I started leaping up the levels, the others followed along. The turtles attacked the Kraang as the Technodrome started tilting on its side making it easier to couldn't do much but carry April and Mikey and Leo took out the ones from behind. So me and Raph charged at the oncoming Kraang droids, protecting April and Donnie.
" Leo, I have a question!" Mikey yelled glancing behind him.
" Can it wait!?"
" Not really! Did we beat that big Kraang thingy!?"
" Yes Mikey,we did!"
" Okay. THEN WHY IS IT FOLLOWING US!?"
I stopped and looked back, seeing that it had a body. I glared at the abomination before continuing to run. It shot electrical beams at us. As we ran an arm slammed down beside me as the large Kraang climbed it's way to April.
" Everybody, there's one last escape pod left!" Donnie shouted running faster than his legs could carry him.
I heard Mikey scream and saw him fall in between two walls. " Mikey!" I ran to help but Kraang Prime was ready to fire but before it could fire. Leo ran back, " Get away from my brother!" He shouted slicing the laser off. He reached down grabbing Mikey's nun-chuck lifting him up.
" There's nowhere for you to run, mutants!" Prime got back up, as we ran faster towards the pod. Donnie cried for Leo as they got into the pod. " All of you will die here!"
My blood boiled at the thought. " No!" I shouted clenching my hands. " I will not allow it!" I yelled as I changed into something that I've never dare try. I stood at Kraang Primes height and punched it across the face, spewing some lava on it's armor. My body hurt to change into the Lava man's form. It took up to much energy and my arm wasn't in the best of condition. " How's that for a failed experiment!?" I bellowed.
But it only got back up screeching in pain. Leo flipped over it wrapping Mikey's chain around it holding it back. " Go get outta here now!" Leo shouted as Raph called out to him
" What are you talking about!?" Raph shouted.
" Dude, you can't do this!" Mikey pleaded.
" GO!" He ordered.
I huffed not listening to him. I ran behind Kraang Prime and tried to help him hold it back by the arms, but it was to strong and my body was beginning to revert back. Damn I can't keep this up much longer!
" X! What are you doing!? Go!" He yelled out in anger.
" Or what, let you hog all the glory!" I grinned at him, as I slowly shrank back, but concentrated hard enough to retain my form.
" We gotta go now!" Donnie pulled Raph back into the pod leaving.
The chain snapped, and I collapsed to the ground exhausted, my arm hurting more than it was before. Kraang Prime tried to grab the pod but it was already too late. The pod escaped out of the Technodrome and out into the sea.
" Come on! We're getting out of here!" He lifted me up bridal style, and grabbed one of the Kraang floating pods running pass Kraang Prime, who in which was roaring in anger. " You better hold your breath." He warned, as he leaped out of the Technodrome before it could crash into the ocean.
Once we hit the water Leo used the Kraang pod to float back up to the surface which took a while since we dropped a few feet in the air. Somehow he swam all the way to the nearest escape pod once with relief we heard Raph's voice.
" I gave them such a hard time…" Raph hung his head sitting down, " If I had it to do it all over again. I'd definitely be nicer."
" Really?" Leo spoke, with a grin on his face.
" Really….Leo? X?" Raph perked up and turned around seeing us float in the water. " You dorks! You scared the heck outta of us!" He pulled us out of the water, Leo laid me down on the floor, since I couldn't really moved.
" We won!" Mikey shouted getting into a group hug as they all laughed.
" Um? Not to ruin the moment guys, but how are we gonna get back home." April pointed out.
My eyes started to drift off, exhaustion taking over. But a huge sense of relief, knowing that we made it out alive.
* Lair *
I woke in the lab with a huge headache. I swear it was the worst of the worst, I reached to touch my head only to feel bandages wrapped around it. Sitting up I felt something on my arm. A cast? Looking around it was empty as I heard a lot of commotion going on in the living area. Getting up I fell flat on my face, not feeling my legs. " Ow." Stumbling around I managed to exit the lab hearing Mikey cheer.
" Who saved the world!?" Mikey shouted, his voice echoing throughout the lair.
" We saved the world!" The others shouted, throwing their arms in the air.
" I said who saved the world!?"
" We saved the world!"
" I said-"
" Stop asking." Raph said making Mikey shrink back.
" We saved the world." Mikey said in a low voice pouting. But Raph slapped a pizza box in his face making him smile.
" Can't a girl get some sleep around here." I smirked trying to walk down the steps.
" X!" They ran over to me helping me over to the couch. " You know we were about to start celebrating." Leo spoke.
" * fake gasp * Without me how could you?" I punched him lightly.
He chuckled, " so, uh? How you feeling?"
" Not a hundred percent but I'll be fine." I smiled.
" You know that was pretty impressive back there. With the Lava man." Raph smirked rubbing my head.
" I don't think I'll ever want to do that again."
" But you were so awesome!" Mikey popped up beside me. " You were like. ' You're not going anywhere!' and Kraang was like ' Arggh!" He started imitating my voice which wasn't even close.
" We get it Mikey. We were there." Donnie placed his hand on the small turtles shoulder.
" Uh? What happened to the captives?" I asked nervous.
" Everyone made out fine. They were returned back home shortly after." Donnie answered.
" So does that mean my parents are alright?" I perked up.
" Yup." Donnie smiled. " It was a complete success."
" We saved the world!" Mikey cheered again.
" What are we waiting for? Let's party!" Leo shouted as he high three'd his brothers.
* Dojo *
Mikey had brought out a record player, music filled the air. Spike sat on the record player spinning around on it. I sat on the floor grabbing the little tortoise which Raph didn't seem to mind as I petted his chin.
Donnie and April took the floor doing the same dance, till Raph and Leo stepped in doing a whole different dance.
Then it was just April as she started doing a weird dance that just made me laugh. Donnie gulped as Mikey poked his face. Raph shoved Mikey aside to push April out of the way so he can show off his moves. Break dancing.
I held a leaf to Spike as he munched down on it. " Aren't you going to join in?" Leo popped up beside me, this time I didn't find it surprising.
" Dancing really isn't my forte." I set Spike down placing the leaf beside him. " Besides I wasn't really much of a party person." I smiled as I watched the other danced it out, Donnie bringing out Metalhead.
" Oh come on. Just one dance." He held a hand out to me with a grin on his face.
I looked at it, then to him. " I'm not so sure. I don't want to-Whoa!" He grabbed my hand pulling me out onto the floor.
" Ooo! Leo!" Mikey grinned.
Raph just smiled at the two seeing that X was embarrassed. Leo spun me around, doing some basic moves. It was fun as he twirled me outwards, making me giggle and pulled me back to him. It made me so happy, and relieved that everything was going to be fine. I mean what could happen.
We just saved the world!
