Metalhead Rewired

Metalhead observes us while Donnie is standing right next to him. Something tells me I'm not gonna like this… "I give you the new and improved Metalhead!" Donnie tells us. "Whoa…" Mikey says in awe. I raise an eyebrow. New and improved? "I've been upgrading his artificial intelligence, so he'll be the perfect training tool," Donnie explains. I give Leo a look, which he returns. "You sure? Training with Metalhead usually ends up in him breaking something," Leo replies. I can't confirm or deny that. "I've programmed him to stimulate dozens of fighting styles, including the Foot and the Kraang," Donnie says. "Pssh, can't stimulate my fighting style," Mikey retorts. I roll my eyes. "Well, we might as well test Metalhead," I reply. Raph twirls his sais. "Let's just go already," Raph comments before we fight Metalhead. He kicks our butts, even going to the extent of grabbing Mikey's face. But what really made me laugh was when Leo was given a thumbs-down from Metalhead. That was priceless! "Ames…" Leo whines. The robot's fist flies around the dojo, carrying Mikey with it. "Get it off!" he screams. "Ya me," I hear. I turn to Splinter. We all sit down in front of him. Well, except Mikey, who screams louder. "Can I get off the ride now?" he asks, still flying around the dojo. "Donatello," Splinter says sternly. Donnie turns to Metalhead. "Metalhead, stop training program," he orders. The robot beeps, and the fist is returned to him. Mikey falls in front of us. "Oh! I think he put my chin up my nose," he replies painfully.

"I'm sorry, Sensei, but overall, I think that was a successful test," Donnie says. Leo glares at him. "Successful? Metalhead almost ripped Mikey's face off!" he retorts. "Please. I had it under control," Donnie tells him, crossing his arms. "And when you don't?" Leo asks him angrily. I scowl at him. "Donatello has made a powerful tool. It is to our advantage to study an enemy's techniques. But you must use that tool wisely," Splinter orders before Metalhead starts to beep very loudly. "What's wrong with him now?" Leo asks while I cover my ears. "Something tripped the security wires. It's approaching the lair fast," Donnie explains. We all gasp and run out to the entrance of the lair. "Do you think it's Foot Bots again?" I ask before I hear gunfire. "Ow!" I hear. I feel like I know that voice…but from where? "Was that-Nah, couldn't be," Raph replies before more screaming is heard. Something runs towards us. It's a mutant. And it's not just any mutant, it's… Mikey screams. "Spider Bytes!" he yells. My eyes widen. What is he doing here in the sewers?! He runs up to us. "Frogs! Pinkie! You guys gotta help! Those foreign triplets are after me!" he shouts. I narrow my eyes at him. I growl and make one of my hands cold. Leo puts a hand on my shoulder. I look up at him, and he shakes his head. I pout.

"We are not frogs," Leo replies. Then I remember the second part of what the spider mutant said. "Wait. What?" I ask in confusion. Spider Bytes runs off before explaining further. "They're heading for the surface," I reply before we chase after the three Kraang droids and the spider mutant. As much as I didn't care for Spider Bytes, he is still an innocent mutant…or least was. And he did plea for help. "Help! You can't do this to me! I want my phone call! I got rights as a spider. Help! Help!" Spider Bytes yells before the Kraang shove him in a van. The vehicle drives off. What? Why would those blobs need someone like Spider Bytes? Last time we saw him, the Kraang were afraid of him…"They're getting away," Leo replies to us. Raph glares at him. "Why is that our problem? That slobbering bug gives us nothing but trouble," he retorts. Leo and I turn to him. "He asked for our help," Leo answers. "The Kraang want him, and we want to find out why," I finish. My turtle boyfriend smiles at me and grabs my hand. Raph groans. "Fine. So how are we supposed to catch up-" Tires screech. Hm? I turn to see the Shell-Raiser coming towards us?! The door opens to reveal Metalhead. "I called for backup," Donnie explains with a smile.

I sit with Leo in the back, since Metalhead took our spot. "Nice, Donnie. When did you teach him how to drive?" I reply. Metalhead bumps into something and we all scream. "You did teach him to drive, didn't you?" Raph asks. Soon, we get caught up in a lengthy battle with the Kraang's van. Metalhead stops the van with the Shell-Raiser. We all pile out, coughing. "There's no way out of there. Metalhead, stay with the Shell-Raiser before you blow anything else up," Leo orders. I cross my arms. "He stopped the truck, didn't he?" Donnie asks. "The Kraang know we're coming. He can help," I explain, patting the robot. He makes fire appear and floats up in the air a little. I giggle. Leo smacks his forehead. "Ugh. Whatever," Leo replies wearily before we enter the crash site with a scream. However, no one is there. "Huh? They just disappeared?" I ask in confusion. "That's impossible," Donnie remarks. I turn to him. "Oh, what's your theory, then? They turned invisible?" I retort. Donnie narrows his eyes at me. "There must be a secret door or a hidden passageway somewhere. Fan out," Leo tells us before we examine the place. I feel the walls, but nothing that can trigger a passageway. "Metalhead, use your scanners to check the structure for any hidden rooms or passageways," Donnie orders. Metalhead flies up to the middle of the room. His eyes turn blue and blue lasers scan the room. As it passes over me, I feel a chill. I shiver. Mikey giggles. "It tickles!" he exclaims. Raph screams. Leo crosses his arms and rolls his eyes. "Tickle ray? Real useful upgrade, Donnie," he comments in a sarcastic tone.

I turn to Leo. "Have a little faith in him, would ya?" I ask. "It happens to be a three-dimensional volumetric scan," Donnie explains. Metalhead stops scanning and beeps at Donnie. "But that makes no sense. There should be tire marks or a seam on the floor, but the Kraang left no trace at all, just some junk and-" I hear a gasp, interrupting Donnie. Looking around, I see Mikey at a vending machine. "Super Macho Burrito? Whoo, yes. It's the ultimate combination of pizza and burrito. Pizzarito! It's super and macho," Mikey says before shaking the vending machine. I roll my eyes and reach into my purse. "I think I have a dollar in here some-" I hear a clatter. I look at Mikey to see his arm stuck into the vending machine. I slap my forehead. "Should have expected that…" I mutter to Leo, who chuckles a bit. "Your arm's stuck, isn't it?" Raph asks. Mikey tries to pull his arm out with a grunt. "Possibly," Mikey replies with another grunt. "Maybe on purpose," he tells Raph before he tries to pull him out. "Hey, ice princess, you wanna help me out on this one?" he asks me. I pinch my head and sigh. "Fine," I answer wearily before Raph and I pull. Soon, we get Mikey out and we fall to the floor. I sit up and see a computer?! "Whoa. It's like a vending machine from the future," Mikey says in awe. I get up and turn to Donnie. "Is that a Kraang computer?" I ask him. He nods. "Yup. Mikey, you're a genius," Donnie answers. My eyes widen. Never thought I'd hear those words…

"That's how I roll," Mikey replies. "Can that computer tell us where the Kraang went?" Leo asks. Donnie looks at Metalhead. "Metalhead, see if you can access its database. It should tell us where they disappeared to," Donnie orders his robot. Metalhead plugs itself into the Kraang computer with a beep. Leo looks at Donnie with an uncertain look. "Uh, are you sure plugging Metalhead into unknown Kraang tech is a good idea?" Leo asks. I look at the robot, who was trying to gain access to any potential info. I admit, an improved Metalhead might seem a little untrustworthy, but I have faith in him. He's proven himself to be very useful. I just hope the others will see him the way I do… "Trust me, Leo, the Kraang processor in Metalhead makes him perfectly compatible with their computers," Donnie answers with a chuckle. "What could go wrong?" he finishes before the computer explodes. We all cough. "Great, Donnie. Great," Raph retorts. "Not only did we lose the Kraang, but Metalhead blew up our only clue to where they went," Leo replies angrily. Mikey pouts. "Even worse, he blew up my Super Macho Burrito," he complains. I scoff. "It probably wasn't worth it," I mutter. Donnie walks up to Metalhead, who was shortening out. "It must've been some kind of energy surge. You okay, little buddy?" Donnie replies. Metalhead's fist grabs Mikey's face again. "Gah! Can we go home now, please?" he asks under Metalhead's fist.

Wait. But the Kraang are nowhere to found. "What about the Kraang?" I ask them. "What about 'em? Spider Bytes is their problem now," Raph answers with a shrug. I groan. "But what did they want with him?" Leo asks him. Spider Bytes is in no way useful to the Kraang. And the spider mutant wants nothing to do with them. His grudge is with us. So why did the Kraang capture him?

"Metalhead's memory core isn't too badly damaged," Donnie tells us. We were back in his lab, where Donnie was examining the robot. Mikey pokes Metalhead. "Stop it, Mikey," Donnie replies. He looks over the turtle robot. "It seems that the Kraang security algorithms were too complex to decrypt," Donnie says. "Less science-y, more English-y," Mikey retorts. "I should be able to retrieve what he downloaded from the Kraang computer," Donnie explains before Mikey pokes Metalhead again. I slap Mikey's hand. "Mikey!" I shout. "Ow!" he screams in pain. "He might take a little time to fix, though," Donnie comments. "How long?" Leo asks. "Well, in technical terms…a while," Donnie finishes as Metalhead shortens out again. I sigh and pat the robot's head. "Get well, Metalhead," I say softly.

Leo and I sit outside Donnie's lab, waiting for him to finish repairing Metalhead. "Duck!" I hear before a fist shoots out from Donnie's lab. Of course, it hit no one other than Mikey. My eyes widen. "We know that the Kraang rebuilt TCRI. What if they got the portal working again?" Raph replies. "That's what we need to find out," Leo answers. I look down at the floor and twiddle my fingers. What if…what if they make something to try and take over my mind? The Kraang did give me these powers, after all… "Ames? Something wrong?" Leo asks me. I turn to him. "What if the Kraang want to kidnap me?" I ask him. He frowns. "We're not going to let them touch you," he answers. I smirk before it disappears. I look at my hands. "I know that, but…you know they want to use me as a weapon against you, your brothers, and Sensei…I just don't want them to brainwash me and make me…" I tell him, not finishing my sentence. I close my eyes and put my head down. If they control me to destroy my friends, or my boyfriend, I'll never live it down… I feel a soft pair of lips on mine. My eyes widen and I look to see Leo with his eyes closed. He cups my face with his three-fingered hand. I sigh and close my eyes, returning the kiss. Leo peppers my lips with small kisses before he gently pulls away. "Ames, there's nothing to worry about. I won't let anything happen to you. I swear," he whispers. I look at him. "Leo, you don't have to-" he gives me a peck on the lips. "Don't try to convince me otherwise. I know how stubborn you are," he explains softly. I smile at him and he smiles back. Fire shoots out of Donnie's lab. "How's it going, Donnie?" I ask loudly. "Not bad!" he answers before a scream is heard. Leo sighs. "I'm putting an end to this right now," he mutters before he walks into Donnie's lab. Confused, I follow him.

"Okay, Donnie. It's late. Give it a rest," Leo tells his brother. "I've almost got it. Just working out the bugs," Donnie answers. There's a loud explosion from Metalhead. Leo pulls me to him and turns to Donnie. "Donnie, you got to shut down his A.I," Leo orders. My eyes widen. "What? No! He stopped the Kraang, and he's very useful," I explain. "But he destroyed our only chance of finding the Kraang," Leo answers. "Shut down his A.I? But that would be like turning off his brain," Donnie replies. "He's just too dangerous," Leo comments. "We need him, Leo. The Kraang and the Foot are more armed up than ever," I reply, standing in front of Metalhead. Leo sighs. "It's not worth the risk, Ames. Metalhead was glitchy before he plugged into the Kraang computer. He was taken over by the Kraang once already. Are you sure you can trust him, Donnie?" Leo retorts. I narrow my eyes. "Yes," I answer before Donnie can say anything. They turn to me. "What?" Leo and Donnie ask at the same time. "I trust him, whether or not he has glitches. Nobody's perfect. Just look at Mikey," I explain. Leo and Donnie look at each other before the tallest one sighs. "Maybe you're right. I'll take care of it," Donnie tells his brothers. I give him a wide-eyed look. "What?!" I exclaim.

"Sorry, Donnie," Leo tells him before turning to me. I give him a sad look. Why can't he see Metalhead as a good robot? He's reliable. "I'm sorry, Ames. But it has to be done," he explains. I look at Metalhead and sigh. "Okay…" I answer before I glance at Metalhead one last time. Leo guides me out of the lab. I hear a scream and a grunt. I gasp and turn around. "Donnie!" I yell, running back into the lab. Donnie is stuck in his algae pool, and Metalhead is gone. The others run in. "Donnie, what are you doing?" Raph asks. "Yeah, dude, you know better than to go algae diving without a spotter," Mikey replies before we help Donnie out. I hear a door lock, and Leo and I try to open it. "Locked," I mutter. "Open this door, you oversized toaster!" Raph yells. "What about the garage door?" Leo asks. Donnie and Mikey try to lift it up, only to find it locked. "No good, he welded it shut," Donnie explains. Why would Metalhead lock us in? He probably heard what Leo said… "Donnie, I told you he was dangerous. Now he's probably out there trashing the city," Leo retorts. I narrow my eyes at him. "You don't know that! Maybe…maybe he was just unwilling to be shut down," I explain softly.

Raph glares at me. "Get this through your thick head, ice princess. Metalhead has gone nuts, and so have you for thinking otherwise," Raph retorts. I frown. No, I refuse to believe Metalhead has gone rogue. It's not like him. "Well, I'll fix it. We just got to get out of here," Donnie answers. Mikey screams and pounds on the door. "Help! Help! Somebody! Killer robot on the loose!" he screams. "He's not a killer robot!" I reply, defending Metalhead. "What are you doing? You don't want Splinter to-" The door opens, interrupting Leo. And the person who opened it was none other than Splinter. "Do you children have any idea what time it is?" he asks angrily. I wince. "Uh, pizza time?" Mikey asks sheepishly. "Why was the door locked?" Splinter asks bluntly. We all laugh nervously.

"Ah, you know-"

"Just messing around."

"No reason."

"Yep. Just locking ourselves in rooms at night…like usual," I reply nervously. "Metalhead tried to kill us," Mikey answers. We all growl at him. Snitch. "Amelia, Leonardo?" Splinter asks. My eyes widen. Oh no, why me?! I'm a terrible liar! "The truth is Sensei…we got to meet April at Murakami's. Big mutant sushi problem. We'll be back before dawn," Leo answers. "Don't wait up for us!" I exclaim as we run out of the lair. I sigh in relief.

Leo and I drive in the Shell-Raiser. I frown. I wonder why Metalhead went off like that…maybe he has something else in mind other than destroying the city? And if so, why? "Ames…I know you think you can trust Metalhead, but he's too dangerous. I don't want him to hurt anyone, especially you," Leo whispers to me. I don't respond. "Should we just follow the cries of terror or-" Donnie looks at Raph. "Metalhead couldn't have gotten far. If his tracking device is still active…Let's see, hmm. Oh, there! Make a left at the next block, guys!" Donnie explains. I nod and we turn left. We pile out of the subway car. I look around and see Metalhead. "There he is. Over here," I whisper to the guys. We hide behind the corner and watch Metalhead. He looks around and opens a port-a-potty. He then walks into the portable bathroom. "Going into a port-a-potty?" Raph asks in confusion. I raise an eyebrow. "Why would he go in there?" I ask. "Maybe he has to change his oil," Donnie replies. "Wait. I saw this on a magic show. There's a secret door down here. Hello?" Mikey says, opening the port-a-potty. A disgusting smell pops out, covering Mikey. He groans. "Definitely not a secret door," he says with a cough. "I think I'm gonna hurl," Mikey mutters. I roll my eyes. "Don't believe everything you see on tv," I remark. Mikey opens the portable bathroom again to reveal a portal!

We all gasp before the door is closed. "What was that?" Leo asks before Donnie opens the door. However, the toilet was there instead. What the heck?! "I don't understand. It-it was just-" Mikey opens the door to reveal the portal again. H-How… "Um, ta-da!" Mikey replies sheepishly. "What?" Donnie asks in disbelief before closing the door yet again. He opens the door, only no portal. "How did you do that?" I ask Mikey. He smiles. "I just got the touch. LTD. Like a turtle do," Mikey answers before opening the door to reveal the portal. Donnie sighs. "It's some kind of dimensional gateway, like-like the Kraang portal," Donnie explains. I gasp in realization. "Of course! This portal must be how they disappeared earlier," I reply. Donnie gets closer to the portal. "Hmm. I wonder if-" Donnie then starts to get sucked into the portal. I gasp and grab his legs. "Donnie!" I scream before both of us start to get sucked in. "Ames!" Leo yells before Donnie and I are sucked in.

We both scream, and then I hear three more screams before we fall down with a grunt. "Ow…" I reply painfully before I look up to see the portal getting smaller. Uh-oh… "The portal! It's closing!" Donnie exclaims before the only way of getting out of here is gone. "Aw, man. Now how are we gonna home?" I ask to myself. "No turning back now," Raph replies. "So is this Dimension X?" Leo asks. Dimension X is the Kraang's home planet. "If it was, we probably wouldn't be able to breathe," Donnie answers. "My guess is not Dimension X. Got it," Mikey comments. Leo looks up. "Guys. I found where they took Spider Bytes," he whispers, before pointing upwards. I follow to where he was pointing to see the spider mutant being pushed into some kind of cage. "Hey, fellas. Can we talk about this? I know bugs in high places. I could-" Something is injected into Spider Bytes before he can finish that sentence. "Wait till I get out of here," I hear. I gasp. Is that… "Spike?" Raph asks, looking for the mutated turtle. I look around and see him trapped, just like Spider Bytes. "I'm gonna break every tentacle on your pink-" The same thing that was injected into Spider Bytes is now placed on Spike. "It looks like a prison," Donnie explains. "How many mutants are here?" I ask. All these mutants I see are mutants we've seen in the past…like Pigeon Pete, Spy-Roach, and… "Snakeweed?" Mikey asks as he sees him. "Dr. Rockwell?" Raph asks. Donnie gasps. I look to see April's dad! "Mr. O'Neil! We've gotta get him out of here," Donnie tells us. We jump up to Mr. O'Neil's cage. Unfortunately, the Kraang show up.

But where's Metalhead? I know I saw him come through the portal… I look down to see the robot, at the main computer. "Metalhead!" I exclaim happily. "Is he working for the Kraang?" Leo asks. I narrow my eyes at him. "Dude, I knew something didn't feel right when he grabbed my face," Mikey replies. I roll my eyes. "He came here to free the mutants. All along, we thought he was going crazy, but he's here just to save 'em," Donnie explains. WE?! I clear my throat. "I did not think he was crazy. YOU guys thought otherwise," I retort. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it! I knew there was good in him! My instincts are never wrong! I smile. I love being right. "Guys. We got company," Leo tells us as the Kraang surround Metalhead. "We got to help him!" Donnie and I say, and we jump down to help Metalhead. "Ames, Donnie, wait!" Leo screams.

We all work together to stop the droids. Despite the interference of a brainwashed Snakeweed and Spider Bytes, Metalhead manages to rescue us, release all of the captured mutants, and re-open the portal back to Earth. "Metalhead, we're leaving," Donnie tells him as we jump up to the portal. "Come on, you tin can! Move!" Raph shouts. I look down at Metalhead. He gestures to the portal. I gasp. "He has to keep it open for us," Donnie explains softly, as if he knew what I was going to say. "But what about him?" Leo asks. "We don't have a choice," I whisper. The others jump through the portal. Donnie and I are the last ones to go. We look down at our friend. He gives Donnie a thumbs up. Donnie returns it before jumping up. "Come on, Amy!" he shouts to me. I look at Metalhead again. He waves at me. I smile and wave back. "I knew I could trust you…" I say to him before I jump through the portal.

We all jump out of a mailbox, landing on the ground. I sit up with a groan. "Metalhead?" Donnie asks. We see that all that's left of him is his head. "Oh, no," I whisper before Donnie picks it up. "Dude, he saved us," Mikey comments. "He saved all of us," Raph replies. "You two were right. Ames, Donnie, I should've trusted you," Leo tells Donnie and I. I smile sadly. He hugs me. "It's okay, Leo…" I whisper before turning to Donnie. "Do you think you'll try to build another one?" I ask him softly. "Maybe I will…one day," he answers as we give a moment of silence for our fallen friend.

I sit in my room with a sigh. Someone knocks on my door. "Ames?" Leo asks. I walk up to the door and open it. I give Leo a small smile. "Can I come in?" he asks. I nod and let him in. He turns to me. "You still upset about Metalhead?" he asks. I shake my head. "No…he sacrificed himself for us. I know you thought he was dangerous, but-" He kisses me. I'm mid-sentence, and he leans down and kisses me. I feel his warm, sweet lips pressing against mine with the softest pressure, and his arms snaking around my waist, pulling me in closer. I kiss him back, not caring about finishing my sentence anymore. My hands work their way to Leo's face and his head. He moves us, pressing my back to my bed, his body pressed against mine. The kissing takes on a new edge, laced with burning ferocity. He pulls away for a second, both of us gasping, and then bites my bottom lip. A soft moan escapes me and he groans in response. Then, suddenly, he stops and looks down at me. "Sorry, I just had to-" I pull him down to my lips again, making him shut up. He moans before untying my hair. It flows down while I untie his bandana. He licks my lips with his tongue, making me gasp a little.

I press my lips harder against his before he pulls away. He then moves my tank top strap to my arm before attacking my neck with delicate kisses. I clutch my bed sheets and shiver in delight. "Do you want me to stop?" he whispers in my ear. He's joking, right? "N-No. Please…don't stop," I answer softly before he picks me up. I sit on his lap, one leg on each side of him, and press my lips to his. He sucks on my tongue. I sigh happily. I didn't want to stop. God, I never wanted it to end. We were so into the passion…and each other…I hear a scream, which makes Leo pull away. "What now?" Leo asks annoyed. I hear another scream. "AMY! Help me!" Mikey screams from outside my room. "I'm gonna slap the green off of you!" Raph shouts. I roll my eyes before turning back to Leo. "I should…" I reply before he sighs. "Yeah, go help him," he tells me. I frown. "I'm sorry…" I say to him before he smiles. "Don't worry about it. I think I have solo training with Splinter soon, anyway…" he answers before giving me a peck on the lips. I get off him and grab my ribbon. "Wait, Ames…I think you should leave your hair like that," Leo replies. I raise an eyebrow. "Why?" I ask. He blushes and runs his fingers through my hair. "Because you look gorgeous with your hair down…" he whispers before kissing me again. I smile before I hear another scream. I groan and pull away from him. "I'm coming, Mikey!" I yell before placing my ribbon on the table. I run out of the room, but not before I heard a chuckle from Leo.
