A/N: Awesome reviews as always! Thanks guys!

K-three raced across the rooves. He could feel Mira inside him. Her anger made his own blood boil. He'd never felt this type of primal hatred from his mate before and it spurred him to move even faster. As he drew nearer to the lair, he was confused by Mira's location. At first she had seemed much further away, but now she was moving back in his direction. Her initial rage was gone but she was still very upset. Glancing around at the torrent of rain that was pounding the rooftops, he suspected she'd be traveling below ground.

With a growl, he finally leapt onto the garage's roof and climbed inside. The alarm was still wailing and he paused to shut it off using the roof's keypad. Once he'd gotten inside, he stared at the mess of dismembered robots and hunks of blasters hanging from the ceiling. This is bad.

He turned to look towards the elevator and his pulse increased. Really bad.

Even after all the security measures they'd taken, these bots had somehow ripped a hole into their home. His own fury rose as he descended the shaft into the lair, where he stared around himself in shock. Nothing remained, except piles of rubble and broken furniture. His heart sank. This had been his home for so long now. It had been where he'd met his mate and began his own family.

A sudden horrible thought struck him. "Katsu! Katsu!" He began to tear his way through the lair, to the toddler's bedroom or what was left of it. "Katsu!" He dug through the debris, searching franticly for signs of life. He wished he could sense his son like Mira could in that moment. He threw aside a piece of ceiling to reveal the crib, which had been crushed. On top staring up at him was the old teddy bear that had been passed down through three generations of the Hamato clan. He was worn and patched and now he was covered in dirt. K-three lifted the toy and pressed it to his chest, as if it would give him that connection to his child he so desired. He looked around himself, realizing that this had been the reason Mira had been so angry. He pulled out his cell, hoping it would still work. But it buzzed in his ear. No signal? Glancing over his shoulder at the lab, he understood why. It had taken a lot of damage. There probably wasn't much in there to salvage.

Tucking his cell back into his pocket despite its uselessness, he focused on the bond. Mira was still headed in his direction, though she was still pretty far away. She was upset, but he didn't feel grief from her. She wasn't morning the loss of their child. This gave him hope. Maybe she'd already found him. He could feel her calling to him and he obeyed, dashing through the entrance into the sewers beyond.

Kala sprinted through the tunnels moving as fast as her old bones could carry her. She tried to lose her hunters in the winding passages but they stayed far too close and were even starting to gain on her. She panted, her lungs burning. I have to lose them! Just when she was about to run out of strength, she stumbled to the edge of a large fast flowing stream. She knew it was part of the river that was diverted into the sewers. The Foot-bots were nearly on top of her. It was the river or the droids.

She dove into the cold water. She'd never become a great swimmer, learning so late in life. But she'd become fairly decent in the past decades. But she was tired and the current was strong. It tried to drag her under and she fought for breath, sputtering as mouthfuls of water got into her lungs. The walls of the tunnels were sweeping by. Some part of her was glad that it was dragging her away from her enemies but the other part of her was panicking. Even if she got away from the Foot, would she be able to survive the river. The current pulled her under again and she broke the surface to get another breath, but ended up with another mouthful of tainted water.

She struck her head on something and went under again. Her body wanted to give up. So cold, so tired.

A hand suddenly grasped her wrist and she was pulled from the frigid waters to the equally cold tunnel floor. Someone was speaking to her, but her head was buzzing and her vision blurry. She began coughing up the river water and the person patted her gently on the back, encouraging her to bring it all up. When the fit was over, she collapsed onto the ground, gasping for air. Three cool fingers pressed against her cheek. She would know that touch anywhere. It was her family. She was safe. She relaxed, the blackness swallowing her.

"Aunt Kala, can you hear me?" Mira frowned as she felt for a pulse. She was alive at least.

She'd sensed both Kala and K-three as she'd gotten closer to the lair, but Kala had seemed to be in distress and so she'd headed in her direction. K-three would likely find her shortly anyways. As gently as she could, she moved Kala further from the water's edge. The Neutrino was trembling from the cold.

Something caught Mira's eye on the far bank and she turned to watch several shadows move to the edge of the water. She stood pulling her tonfa, ready for battle. Her aunt was unconscious, she had to protect her. She hoped mildly that they wouldn't be able to cross the river. That hope was quickly dispelled as they leapt across, clearing the fifty-foot gap easily. She growled, taking a defensive stance and extending the blades from her tonfa. "You know this might not be such a good idea for you guys. I've already left four of your buddies for scrap metal."

The Foot soldiers were completely unfazed by this and advanced on her. Mira immediately sliced the arms off one robot and sent it flying into the river. Two more attacked at the same time. She spun her blades out, catching one across the torso, but the other blocked her. She kicked out at both, sending the one that was damaged to ground. The other stumbled back but was soon joined by two more as she was tackled to the ground. There were too many this time. Two pinned down her arms and another pinned her legs as the forth stood over her, katana shimmering in the darkness.

"Get away from her!" K-three's voice bombed out the dimness a moment before he crashed into two of the droids. The one that had the katana was smashed against the wall, his head rolling away from the body. The second Foot had its arms ripped off and then its head as K-three growled in outrage. The two still holding Mira's arms released her to pull their weapons. One charged K-three but the second didn't get that far as Mira's tonfa sliced him in half. Blue sparks lit the space as the other was again ripped apart by the ferocious Turtleoid. The damaged droid had managed to get to his feet and was about to strike again. K-three merely shoved it off the bank to be swallowed by the river.

He knelt beside his mate, crushing her against his chest. "My flower, are you hurt?"

"No." She whispered, trembling slightly in his arms. "But the lair…."

"I saw. What about Katsu?" He stroked her shell and cupped the back of her neck, rubbing his cheek across her head.

"He's safe. He and Ona are at April's." Her eyes lit on Kala, still unmoving. "And we need to get Kala there. I need to check her over."

K-three slowly stood, pulling Mira with him. He reluctantly released her to move to Kala's side. He noted she was trembling and soaking wet. Removing his vest, he wrapped it around her. It wasn't much but it was something. Lifting her gently into his arms, he frowned. They couldn't go back the way they'd come. He wouldn't risk carrying her through the river.

Mira seemed to sense his dilemma. "It's okay. We'll travel as far as we can underground and then go topside."

He frowned again. "I don't have a holo. I didn't think I'd need one. And the rest were in the lair."

Mira nodded, understanding that most of them were likely destroyed. "It's still raining. There won't be many people out. We'll just have to be careful."

It didn't take long to reach the alley near April's. They opted for the fire-escape this time and tapped on the window. She answered it quickly, expecting that she'd have to open it several times that night. K-three clambered inside with Kala and Mira pulled the window shut behind them. April gasped. "Kala! Is she okay?"

"She's alive, but I think she might have a concussion." Mira explained as K-three laid the prone Neutrino on the couch.

Ona appeared from down the hall. She was dressed in spare clothes they kept at April's in case of emergencies and Katsu was in her arms, wrapped snuggly in a warm blanket. The tot's eyes lit up. "Daddy!" He reached for his father and K-three took him, holding him tightly. "I was scared, Daddy."

K-three let out a heavy breath as he clutched him a little tighter. "I know. It's alright now. I've got you."

Ona moved past them to kneel beside Mira where she was examining Kala. "How is she?"

Mira sat back and gave a small sigh. "She definitely has a concussion but it seems pretty mild. I haven't found any gapping wounds or any other major injuries. She'll have a good sized headache when she wakes, but she'll be okay."

Jamie watched Sarah pace back and forth with growing concern. She was rambling and chewing at her knuckles. From what she'd been able to gather between the mumblings was that something had happened and Mira was upset – very upset. She did seem to finally be calming down though, until she'd decided to call Mira.

Sarah held the phone away from her and stared at it. No signal? That's impossible. Donnie's system never went out, even when there was a storm like this one raging outside. She frowned, hitting a few keys to access the device's computer. It wasn't the cell. It was the transmitter. But that was in the lair.

Jamie stood as new panic washed across her sister-in-law's face. "What's the matter?"

Sarah tried desperately to calm herself. If she overacted, it would only set Donnie off. "Something's wrong. Our cell system is down. Mira was scared out of her mind a few minutes ago and now this." She glanced at Cat, who was sleeping again. They couldn't leave her alone, but maybe if she hooked her cell into the regular cell system temporarily, she could send a message to the others. They wouldn't be able to respond but they'd know what was going on. "Stay with Cat. I'll be right back."

"Where are you going?" Jamie didn't like being left alone, not with all the craziness going on.

"I need to get to the transmitter on the roof, so I can send-" Sarah had started for the door, but it was suddenly swung open. She gasped, stumbling back as three Foot soldiers entered the room. She couldn't restrain the panic this time. One started towards her and she grabbed the small chair near the foot of the bed and swung it at it. Somehow it made contact, smashing the droid against the wall.

Jamie backed away from the second soldier, searching for anything to use as a weapon. But there was little in the sparse hospital room. Keeping her back to Cat, she grabbed for the tray that they'd brought soup on earlier. She slammed the plastic tray against its head. The robot barely seemed to notice the impact. Jamie's eyes widened. "Okay, that didn't work."

The third robot grasped Sarah's arm in a crushing grip and slammed her against the wall. She gave a blood curdling scream as the bone in her forearm snapped in two.

Jamie stared from Sarah to Cat to the two remaining Foot soldiers. They were in trouble – big trouble.

Hatred, revenge, fury. These were the things that remained inside Yoshi's mind. Nothing else. Someone was shouting at him, but he didn't hear. Someone was pulling at his, but he didn't move. The desire to watch the life drain from the Neutrino was too strong.

Shinta pulled at Yoshi's arms, but they were like steel. "Yoshi don't! You're going to kill him!" He pulled again. But no amount of strength was going to dislodge his much bigger cousin from the slender young man.

Leo glanced in their direction and then back at Krang. "Mikey help Shinta!" He and Kaz were making their way towards them, urging the rock soldiers forward. Donnie had started to move in Leo's direction as well. But he suddenly stopped, his eyes going wild. Leo had seen the look many times over the last thirty-five years. "Donnie?"

Mikey rushed to his brother. "Don? Donnie, what is it?"

"Sarah…." He suddenly roared in pain grasping his left arm. "She's hurt!" He turned to make for the entrance, but Mikey blocked his path.

Kaz had continued to Yoshi's side. He tried to pull him off the young man who was turning blue. "Let him go, Yoshi!" Shinta continued to pull at his other arm. Yoshi released the chain momentarily to shove both his cousins away. This allowed Cole to take a strangled breath, but he didn't get a chance to recover as Yoshi gripped the chain again as his cousins tumbled back on the floor. He growled, ignoring their protest.

"Yoshi stop!"

For a split second the voice didn't register right away. Then slowly, he lifted his head to look over his shoulder. There, hurrying into the warehouse, pale and shaking from the cold was his father. Yoshi's eyes snapped back to Cole. "It's a trick! You're messing with my head again!"

Cole didn't respond. He was nearly unconscious now. The chain digging into his pale flesh. If Yoshi exerted any more pressure, his neck would likely break. Raph's hand wrapped around Yoshi's arm and his other landed on his shoulder. "It's no trick, son. It's me. Now let him go. He's not worth you killin' him."

Yoshi looked up at him, the chain falling from his shaking hands. "Dad? I thought…. He said you were dead."

Raph half smirked. "Well, I ain't. It'll take a lot more than this little creep to kill me."

Yoshi stood, finally taking his weight off the Neutrino, who was still struggling to breathe. He hung his head. "I'm sorry for this. It's all my fault."

Raph pulled him into a tight embrace. "It don't matter. We're all safe that's what's important." He murmured softly and Yoshi held on just a little tighter. Raph's gaze shifted from the Neutrino on the floor to Krang, before releasing his son. "I know slime ball over there, but who is this punk?"

Yoshi frowned. "I'm not real sure. He said that you and Uncle Mikey killed his father."

Kaz jumped up. "What!"

Raph and Leo exchanged a look. "Kassic."

The last of the rock soldiers entered the portal and Leo allowed Krang to get up. "Leave and take that piece of trash with you. If you ever come back, you'll regret it." They watched cautiously as Krang grabbed Cole by the wrist and dragged him roughly towards the portal.

He turned before entering. "We'll see turtle. I will get my revenge!" With that he disappeared and the portal closed.

"Move Mikey! I don't have time for this! Sarah's in trouble!"

All eyes turned to Donnie, who was trying to get past Mikey while still clutching his broken arm. "Just wait, bro. We'll go with you." The others were at their side in seconds.

Leo didn't hesitate. "Let's go!"

Yoshi hung close to his father as they exited the building. His eyes darting around, searching for enemies. Raph paused and tossed Kaz his bike keys. "You mind takin' the bike. I think I could use a breather."

Kaz nodded and climbed on it, as the others slipped into the back of the van. As they speed down the street, Raph checked Yoshi over. He frowned at the rings of blood on his wrists and neck. He looked over at his brother. "Donnie?"

Donnie still looked a bit frantic but tried to focus on the younger turtle. He tilted Yoshi's head slightly to get a better look. "It's okay. They're superficial and already healing." He frowned at his nephew. "But you do look a bit dehydrated. Shinta get a bottle of water." The youngest brought over the bottle and opened it before handing it to Yoshi. "Drink slowly." Donnie warned. He and Raph exchanged a look. Don patted his shoulder. "He'll be okay."

They pulled up alongside the hospital. "We didn't bring the holos, so stay stealthy guys. We don't want to freak out the staff." Leo led the way from the van and into a side entrance. They moved as fast as possible up the stairs to Cat's floor. Making sure the hall was empty, they crept through it till they reached her door. They gasped as they found the one Foot-bot broken on the floor.

"Damn." Raph breathed then his eyes shot to the bed. He rushed over, checking on his spouse. "Cat?" She didn't wake but smiled at his touch. He let out a heavy breath. "She's okay."

Leo frowned, his heart clenching. "Yeah, but where are Jamie and Sarah?"

A/N: So, I've been asked several times, why did the guys only have one kid a piece and why don't Leo and Jamie have one together? So, here's the reason. Initially I think the guys would just be grateful to have one child and not push their luck for a second. I think they'd just be happy with the one. And as far as Leo and Jamie having one. I don't think either would want one. Leo was already fifty when he and Jamie got together, so he'd probably say he was to old for another one. And I don't think Jamie would want one either as her first child died. I think they would be content with each other and Shinta. If you want I could set up a page to answer your questions. Let me know if you want one.
