CHAPTER 11: MASS TURTLE HACK

ME: To celebrate the new TMNT episode finally coming out, I've finally updated! Sorry for the wait, guys.

LEONARDO '12: You really need to stop taking long breaks after a cliff-hanger.

MICHELANGELO '03: Yeah man; it's bad for your image!

ME: Okay, okay; I get it. And before any of you guys ask, I haven't seen the latest episode yet, but I'll be watching it soon. Anyway, I know the basic premise, the new character, and the title of it as of right now.

RAPHAEL '12: *folds arms* She owns nothing besides the stories and her own OC's—y'know, if she even had any to put in here.

Chapter 11: Mass Turtle Hack

"Yes. We'll need to blow it up."

"That's crazy! It's dangerous," Leo '03 stated in disbelief.

"We don't need anything too powerful. Just something that'll completely destroy the portal. They may try to rebuild it again, but it'd take them longer from scratch. They'd have trouble with importing the technology as well," Leonardo '12 insisted.

"You're crazy," Leo '03 finally managed to say, shaking his head.

"Yeah, and what about the whole deal of us not being able to disarm the upgraded Foot Bots without a Donnie? We'll get our shells kicked!" Leonardo '87 pointed out.

Leo '12 glanced at his other worldly self. "I'm getting to that." He smiled slightly. "We order a mass hack."

"Huh...?" Leonardo '87 looked surprised.

Donnie '12, who'd been thinking, suddenly brightened. "Of course! If I could get to the main control for all the Foot Bots, I could hack it and have all of them malfunction."

"We can manage all this," Donatello '03 stated. "Leave it to us! Cody can use Donatello B's thing-a-majig to transport some items we'll need from the future."

"The future? Like the bombs and weapons and hacking gear?" Donnie '12 inquired.

When Donatello '03 nodded, the two high-fived.

"We also have Serling on our side," Leonardo '03 murmured.

"What's so useful about that doofus?" asked Leonardo '87. "His special power is being a total party pooper."

"I understand what you mean, but Serling can become Turtle X. He's like Cody's protective armour," Leo '03 explained.

"And we'll have the humans," Donnie '12 added. "I'm not sure the Casey's will be of much help though."

"Still jealous?" Leo '12 looked at his brother with an unamused look.

"Am not! I'm serious here." Donnie '12 blushed.

Donatello '03 shook his head. "No, he's actually right. Our Casey can hardly spell 'dimension', let alone disarm a portal."

"And all our Casey's good at is beating you up with a hockey stick," Donatello '87 agreed. "April, on the other hand, comes with a variety of skill sets. She's smart, inquisitive, curious, brave, loyal, and last of all..."

"Yes?" Donnie '12 appeared eager.

Donatello '87 glanced at his counterpart, smirking slightly. He returned to his dramatic pause, taking a deep breath. "...Aaaand playing the damsel in distress." He awaited the other Donnie's reaction, since he'd just taken a joking jab at April.

Donnie '12's face fell. "Well, our April isn't like that all. She's brave," he responded defensively.

"I know—our April is too. I'm just kidding," Donnie '87 replied. "Don't get mad."

"Ours is tough and smart, so that's good." Donnie '03 smiled, rolling his eyes good-naturedly at Donatello '87's "little joke".

Raphael '12, meanwhile, had turned away. He felt surprised. Leo had actually come up with a decent plan.

"And I know just who can help us with this plan," Leonardo '12 suddenly announced.

Raph stiffened. Please don't say—

"Karai."

Ugh, he said it. Groaning silently to himself, Raph did a face-palm.

"...Are you sure we can trust her?" Leonardo '03 finally asked.

"Yes. I believe she's on our side, and this'll put her to the test. After the goods are imported, we take the hacking gear and give it to Karai. The Donatello's can tell her how to set it up so that it links to all the Foot Bots." Leo '12's voice was firm.

"Out of all the people he could've picked, it just had to obviously be her," Raphael muttered as he walked away.

"Of course it has to be! He has a crush on her, remember?"

Raph jumped, turning to see a familiar, silly turtle. "Raphael B!" he hissed. "What are you doing!?"

"I don't know; what are you doing, sneaking around?" Raphael '87 raised an eyebrow.

"I'm listening to their plans, okay?" Raph '12 muttered.

"Okay." Raphael '87 shrugged. "I was just wondering because you were just standing there watching them like a statue." He grinned then. "I thought you'd grown a crush on Leo or Donnie or something. Like, on all six of them."

Glaring at him, Raphael '12 punched him lightly but still pretty hard in the arm.

"Ow," his fellow teenage mutant ninja turtle muttered, rubbing his now sore shoulder.

"Watch your mouth, you smart-aleck," Raphael '12 warned, rolling his eyes. Despite that, he smirked slightly.

"Hey, you smirked! That means you found my joke interesting." Raphael '87 caught up to his counterpart, grinning.

Raph '12 forced his face to stay flat. "What are you talking about? I didn't do anything like that, shell-brain."

"I saw it; don't deny it~" Raphael '87 sang.

Rolling his eyes, Raph '12 ignored his other worldly self's obnoxious singing as they walked.

Shredder '12 drummed his fingers on his armchair. "When can we carry out our plan? I am getting tired of toying with these people. The turtles still haven't come out yet."

"Oh they will—they're trying to be less predictable, but that's almost impossible for a good guy." Krang '87 smirked.

Karai '12 glanced at her phone. "It's already 6:00," she muttered. "You better hurry with your plan, Krang."

Krang '87 turned to glare at her. "I'm dealing the cards here, missy."

"Ooh, I'm so scared. Sorry for questioning you." Rolling her eyes, Karai '12 leaned her weight on one leg. She folded her arms and waved the one holding a phone. "It's just that...oh, I don't know; it's getting kinda late?"

Krang '87 twitched. "I didn't ask for your opinion."

"Sorry, sir." Karai '12 smiled innocently.

"Enough, Karai." Shredder '12 sent her a warning look, before turning back to Krang. "However, at the same time I must agree with my daughter. I am growing impatient."

Suddenly, a Kraang-droid appeared. "The creatures known as turtles have surfaced on the streets of the city known as New York."

"Ah, see? I told you they would." Krang '87 turned to the Kraang-droid. "Show me where they are."

Using alien technology, the Kraang showed them the location the turtles had been spotted at.

"...There's only three of them," Shredder '12 hissed. He turned ominously to Krang. "If the others don't show up..."

"They will; I promise." Krang '87 gulped.

"I recognize those three annoying turtles. They're from my world," Shredder '03 remarked darkly. "I am looking forward to destroying them. But why are there only three?"

"They're planning something; I just know it," Shredder '87 agreed, growling. He sent Karai '12 a warning look. She only shrugged in reply, turning back to Krang.

"Indeed, they probably are. But we're going to fall through with the plan," Krang '87 insisted.

Shredder '12 stood up. "Very well. Shredder C, you will go first. Shredder B will provide back-up."

"As long as the Kraang are done with upgrading my Foot Bots," Shredder '87 muttered. "Kraang...!"

"We are done the thing you asked us to do in upgrading the things called robots that you call Foot Bots," a Kraang-droid stated.

"Good." He turned to the two female kunoichi's in the room. "I vote both of the Karai's should come with us," Shredder '87 announced.

Karai '12's eyes widened, and she threw her hands out. "What...? Why? I've already joined you on your stupid mission and helped you get Krang a suit. Haven't I proven myself yet?" She glared at Shredder '87.

"I agree with Shredder B, Karai. Both of you should go," Shredder '12 commanded. "A warrior is never done proving themselves. And you were once reluctant to destroy the turtles, but after I went to Japan you proved to be eager. Why is now that you are resisting again?" He narrowed his eyes.

"...Yes, Father," Karai '12 muttered. "I just hate being ordered around by this bozo, who clearly doesn't trust me." She glared at the ground. Karai '03 moved to stand beside her, everyone now silent.

"Commence with the plan," Krang '87 announced.

"Now commencing with the thing called the plan to destroy the things called the turtles on the streets of New York City," a Kraang-droid repeated (in their own special way).

Sighing, Krang '87 did a face-palm with his new suit. "I really wish you'd speak normally..."

Karai '12 smirked, before hearing a beeping sound come from her phone. She swiftly set the ringer off, before excusing herself in a mutter. Then Karai wandered off. She picked up the phone. "What is it?" she asked.

"Karai...?" April's voice sounded.

Karai's eyes widened. "April...? How'd you get my phone number?"

"Donnie hacked your phone and got it," April explained. "But that's not the issue right now. Leo has a plan, and he needs your help."

"A plan...? What is it then?" Karai inquired.

"It's actually pretty complicated. Shoot, how do I explain this... Okay, so only the C turtles are coming up to the surface—"

"Yes, I've noticed that," responded Karai impatiently.

"—and when Shredder B comes out with back-up, the B turtles will appear behind the cluster of Foot Bots. Meanwhile, all the Donnie's and humans are going underground. Later—we're not sure when—we'll destroy the portal with bombs."

"Doesn't really sound like you need my help," Karai sniffed.

"I'm getting to that: they're importing things from the future—don't ask me how—and will be sending something your way. It's going to be hacking gear, and all you have to do is set it up. Then Donatello can cause all the Foot Bots to malfunction."

Karai paused. "It's a decent plan, but there's one problem to it all."

"What's that...? That you won't help us?" April responded, her tone clearly darkening.

"No! Jeez, will you guys just trust me? But that's not it—it's the fact that this doofus Shredder B insists I join the mission. I won't have time to sneak off and set the gear up."

Silence followed on that end, but she could hear April saying something to someone. Her hand was over the phone so Karai couldn't hear clearly who she was talking to or what she was saying.

Then a new voice sounded: "Karai...? It's me, Leo."

"Leo...?" Surprised, Karai leaned her weight on her other leg. "So what's the plan, Chief?"

She thought she could "hear" him smiling (she didn't know how), but then he said: "Since when did you call me 'Chief'?"

"Since I had to listen to you bossing me around." Karai rolled her eyes.

"Stop flirting, Leo; and tell her!" Raph's impatient voice sounded.

Karai raised an eyebrow. "Was that Raphael?"

"Yes." Leonardo cleared his throat. "Ah-hem. Anyway...we'll make sure you have time to sneak off and work on setting up the hacking gear. The B and C turtles will keep the Shredder's distracted."

"And what about Rocksteady and Bebop? They're supposed to keep an eye on both the other Karai and me," Karai pointed out.

Leonardo paused, as if thinking. But he spoke again pretty soon: "I've got it! Seeing as the Casey's won't be of much help down below the surface, we'll send them up to deal with Rocksteady and Bebop."

"Alright, genius. This plan had better work."

Karai thought she could "hear" him smiling again. "Oh, I'm sure it will... Thanks for helping us, Karai."

"...Oh, no problem." She was surprised, but then she smirked and hung up.

"...And who was that?"

Jumping, Karai turned to see Karai '03. "Jeez, you scared me!" she muttered.

Karai '03 didn't reply. "Shredder B could've caught you. Who were you talking to?"

"No one you need to know about," Karai '12 muttered, folding her arms and looking away.

"...I want to help."

Again surprised, Karai '12 turned to her counterpart. "You want to what...?"

"Help," Karai '03 repeated, "I want to help you. You were talking to the turtles, weren't you?"

Sighing, Karai '12 nodded. "...Fine." Then she explained their plan.

"And you want to assist them?" Karai '03 inquired.

Karai '12 nodded.

"Then I shall help them as well," Karai '03 responded. "I'm sure I'll be of assistance in some way or another." Her serious face cracked a small smile.

Karai '12 looked like she didn't believe her at first, but then she smirked. "Alright. We'll see if you are of any use."

"You ready?" Leonardo '12 called, tossing a pack of ninja stars to Leonardo '03.

"Ready," he replied. He caught the pack and pushed his swords into their sheaths. "I just hope being ready is enough to succeed."

Donatello '12 appeared, carrying something made of metal. "You'll be fine," he said, "I'm sure of it." He then passed the metal pieces to Leo '03. "Here you go."

"What is it?" Leonardo '03 asked.

Donnie '12 smiled proudly. "It's the base for the hacking gear—you attach it to one Foot Bot. Give this to Karai, as well as this earpiece. Then I'll help her through the process."

"Alright," Leo '03 said, hoisting it up. "I think we can do this."

That conversation had happened nearly half an hour ago. Right now Leonardo '12 was waiting impatiently for news.

His earpiece buzzed. "Hello?" he asked, clicking a red button on his headphone.

"Leo?" There was some more buzzing before it got cleared up. "Leo, are you there? Can you hear me?"

"I'm here," Leonardo '12 responded. "How is it going, Leo C?"

"Okay, I guess. Shredder '87's just appeared. He's doing the back-up cornering thing. Some help would be nice," Leonardo '03 responded.

Leonardo '12 turned to the three '87 turtles and nodded. They nodded back and rushed upwards, shoving back the manhole. "Back-up's coming," he told his other worldly counterpart.

Raphael '87 finally managed to lift the manhole cover. "Jeez, these are way heavier than back in our world," he grunted.

"Stop complaining," Leonardo '87 responded. He turned to Michelangelo. "Are you ready?"

"Cowabunga, dude," Mikey '87 replied, swinging his nun-chucks. "I got my grappling hook too."

Jumping up and out of the sewers, Leo pointed one of his swords at the Foot Bots. "Stop!" he commanded. "Back-up has arrived."

Shredder '87 turned around. "Finally!" he cried, throwing his hands into the air. He paused then. "...Wait a sec. Where's that purple guy?"

"He's a little busy right now," Raphael shot back. "But it's nothing you need to know about. Now, let's go!" Charging, Raphael '87 clashed swords with a Foot Bot.

"Even with the tech geek, you guys still cannot beat us! We outnumber you!" Shredder '87 shouted.

"We'll see about that," Leonardo said, taking a deep breath. "They may not be here, but at least they're on our side," he added under his breath. He pointed a sword at another Foot Bot. "Charge...!"

Racing forward, he slashed at around 5 Foot Bots around him. He landed with one sword behind him and the other in front. More Foot Bots approached but he managed to destroy those too.

"It's about time you showed up!" shouted Raph '03, sticking his sai into a Foot Bot as he jumped on its back.

"Sorry," Raphael '87 responded, kicking a few Foot Bots back. "I'm used to my world being a bit more cartoony than this," he commented, noting how powerful the Foot Bots were now. Even the manhole cover being heavier was a sign of realism.

Raph '03 stared at him blankly, but didn't have time to comment as another Foot Bot attacked. Slamming himself into the robot soldier, he forced it into two others.

"They just keep coming!" Michelangelo '03 cried, letting out a high-pitched shriek.

"Calm the shell down!" Raphael '03 commanded, smacking his brother.

"Sorry," the orange bandana-wearing turtle mumbled, rubbing his sore head.

"That Karai better hurry up with the hacking," Leo '03 muttered. He glanced over at where both Karai's stood. Karai '12 was "fighting" Michelangelo '87.

Raphael '03 and '87 were already dealing with the Shredder's.

Suddenly, a manhole cover opened up and out popped three human beings. "Casey!" shouted Raph '03.

"In the flesh!" Casey '03 responded, whipping out a hockey stick. He immediately slammed it into a Foot Bot. "Where's the mutant pig and rhino?"

"Who you calling a pig?" Bebop snorted. "I'm a warthog!"

"No wonder your face is covered in warts, ugly!" Casey '03 smashed his foot into Bebop's face. "Maybe this'll help you!"

"Oof!" Grunting, Bebop was thrown into a bunch of Foot Bots.

"Bebop...! Why, you jerks...!" Rocksteady shouted, charging.

Casey '87 threw his bat into the mutant rhino. "You're breaking the law," he hissed in his low voice, "and you're hurting my friends. People like you deserve to be punished."

"Watch out for the fireworks!" shouted Casey '12, throwing sparklers at both Rocksteady and Bebop.

When the two mutants got rid of the sparklers, they were met face-to-face with hockey pucks.

"Goongala!" Casey '03 shouted, double high-fiving with Casey's '87 and '12.

"You buffoons!" Shredder '87 shouted.

"Ah, ah, ah, old Tin Grin! Eye on the prize," Raphael '87 commanded, jumping into Shredder's line of vision.

Karai '03 nodded at her counterpart. Karai '12 nodded back before racing off, running past Leonardo '03, who discreetly passed her the equipment.

Karai '12 leapt into the shadows of buildings and ducked behind a wall. When she peeked out, she could see all the turtles and Casey's fighting the Foot. Then taking a deep breath, she pressed a button on her earpiece. "Hello, Donatello?" she hissed. "Some directions would be nice right about now."

"Karai...? Oh, right. Okay, so head over to a Foot Bot"—"no duh," she muttered, which he ignored—"and attach the device to it. Some assembly is required—just piece them together. They should fit like a puzzle."

Karai '12 rolled out and shoved the base onto a Foot Bot. She then pulled out the other pieces and quickly assembled them, all the while with Donatello directing her how to do it.

"Okay, done," she said.

"Alright. Now press the red button," Donatello '12 ordered.

Rolling her eyes, Karai '12 muttered, "It's always the red button." Pressing it, she awaited for something to happen. "Nothing's happening," she hissed.

"I'm on it," Donnie replied. She could hear clicking and beeping on his end. "The Foot Bots should be malfunctioning...now!" She heard a loud beep, and then the Foot Bots around her started shaking. She quickly leapt away as robot heads exploded.

"What the!?" Shredder '87 shouted.

Karai '12 landed back at her post beside Karai '03, both doing a discreet high-five.

"No, how could this have happened!?" Shredder '87 cried.

"I don't know," Raphael '03 lied, "but I like it!" He smashed his foot into Shredder '03's face.

"Retreat!" yelled Shredder '87.

"I'm not going anywhere," Shredder '03 hissed, grabbing Raph '03 by the neck.

Raph's eyes widened and he struggled. "Uh-oh," he muttered.

Shredder '03's eyes narrowed dangerously. "'Uh-oh' is right."

ME: And that's that! Shredder '03 beats the crap out of the turtles and Raph '03 dies. Then the Shredder's win!

DONATELLO '12: *stares at me blankly, rolls eyes* ...No. You cannot be serious. You've done this too many times.

LEONARDO '12: *groans, face-palm* Oh no, don't tell me—you're leaving the chapter on another cliff-hanger? How long do we have to wait this time till you update?

ME: Hopefully not too long...if you're lucky. Don't forget to leave a review, people! It helps motivate me.

MICHELANGELO '12: You heard her! If you want a faster update, type a review!

ME: Well, I mean...I didn't mean it in such a commercial way...
