Finally an Update, this one was needed to cut short since I have a lot of things going on with the college, and it's nearing the test week so i got to study. Oh, in case you guys haven't seen it yet, I made a one shot called Hard Rain, it's in the same continuity as Tiger in Blue but was seperated because it was M rated (for good reasons and no worries, it's an angst and brotherly fluff not a smut), please read it if you guys have the time. Also, thanks for the reviews.
Mikey, Raph, Donnie and Karai leapt from roof to roof. They were just about to arrive at the docks to aid Leo in case he's also fighting. The kraang warship can be spotted from miles away, hovering in the air, not moving from it's current spot and sometimes laser shoots from it's cannons. The smell of burnt metal are also getting thicker and thicker. At the final line of buildings, they split into two groups. Group one will bring the missile launcher and use it to destroy the kraang ship. Group two will hurry to the docks to aid Leo and check for survivors.
Donnie and Raph are on group one. The missile launcher need someone strong enough to carry it and someone with enough knowedge of how to use it. Raph are capable of the former and Donnie are the latter. Mikey and Karai are group two. If theres anyone who got enough speed to hurry and search for survivors its Mikey and Karai. At first, Raph wanted to object as he still does not trust Karai yet, but after being reminded of the current crisis, he finally agreed. Secretly, it's also the best choice as some of the Foot ninjas already known that the orange clad turtle wouldn't attack them at sight and since pretty much everyone in there are Foot clan members, it's much better this way.
Donnie and Raph stayed behind to get the missile launcher ready, doing it as fast as they could so they can catch up faster. Karai and Mikey nodded at each other before jumping down the building and ran through some trees. Karai motioned Mikey to stop when she could hear clang sounds made by metals.
"Someone are fighting nearby." She said as she jumped into a tree branch to get a better view.
Mikey wasted no time to follow her. The two of them scanned the whole place. Mikey took the left area while Karai too the right. After glancing around for a while, hoping to find survivors, Mikey saw a man laying on the ground. The man wore metal armor and a kabuto as his hat. He has bladed gauntlet on his hands. "Karai?" Mikey said. "Is that Shred-head over there."
Karai followed Mikey's line of sight. She was stunned to see Shredder laying on the ground, unconcious. She could see even from here that her father are still breating and there's no blood around, meaning that the Shredder is fine. Well, physically anyway. His almost nonexistant honor are probably in shreads right now. "Don't talk like that about him. He's my father you know." She said but even with those words, she did not use any hint of anger.
Silence...
"Whoa, what?" Thankfully, Mikey's voice are quiet enough so it won't distract the fight happening on the other side. "Dudette, that's one crazy father you got there."
"Leo never told you I was the Shredder's daughter?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
Then it hit him. "Of course he didn't tell us. I might be able to tolerate..." He said, earning a glare from Karai. "-but if Raphie or Don finds out he was dating Shread-head's daughter, they will snap." He continued ignoring the killing intent around him. "Oh, and master Splinter might give him the lesson of his life."
Karai sighed quietly. "Nevermind that, take a look there." She said pointing at the other side of the docks. He saw Leo fighting a robot, no doubt a kraang, but something was off. The creature he saw almost one week ago, the same one mimicking his brother's movement back then are fighting alongside him. Not only that, their teamwork are flawless. Every attack the kraang used are blocked by Leo then countered effortlessly by the masked figure. Sometimes they changed role. Their teamwork are so good that their katanas are only missing by inches from accidentally hitting each other. Needless to say, it was flawless, like they know what the other was thinking.
Leo blocked an attack and did a side step as the hooded and masked figure did a stabbing motion and narrowly missed Leo but extremly accurate since it was meant for that kraang bot. The kraang however, just like what Karai had said, was very diffrent. A kraang robot are usually can be cut clean with even just a knife could actually whistand a stab that percise and from the looks of it, that counter-attack packed a lot of power and are pushed by a large body weight. What's worse, it barely even damaged the kraang bot.
Leo, who is now fighting, could feel his energy are being depleted fast and hard. Even Izumi are struggling to keep his physical self from not disappearing in the middle of the fight. All their attacks only did a graze damage, none were deadly nor effective. Well, this is the kraang whom get the best of the Shredder himself, so it's not actually unexpected. Leo's head are spinning from the lack of energy but he somehow made it out by his adrenaline. Izumi wasn't though. He was an energy based being as such he needs enough energy to keep his physical form, not just adrenaline.
Once Izumi disappeared, the tides of the battle quickly turned. Leo managed to keep himself out of the way and blocked any lethal attacks but he can't avoid everything. Most blunt attacks connected and while it wasn't deadly, it surely hurts. The kraang sliced sideways but was blocked. Another slice from the opposite direction also was blocked but it did things to Leo's guard. Without Izumi backing him up, he got no chance. When his guard gave up for the second time, he got hit by a blunt force from his opponent's katana hilt, sending him flying backwards.
Leo stayed on the ground, he doesn't have enough energy to do anything, even his adrenaline already worn off as his burst of energy turned into burst of pain. It's like when painkillers finally faded. The kraang was about to deal the final blow, hovering the blade on his chest. Leo was waiting for the inevitable when Mikey decided to crash in.
Mikey did a kick to the kraang's stomach area, knowing the brain was in there,somewhere. The brain might be covered by metal this time but the majority of kraang bots put the kraang controlling it on that area. His sudden attack managed to throw the kraang off balance. Leo could see Mikey standing in front of him but his vision are blurred.
Suddenly, an explosion from above caught everyone's attention. They looked up to see a part of the kraang warship are burning. Mikey laughed. "Took them long enough." He knew it was caused by none other than his brothers who were getting the missile launcher at ready. Good timing too. Putting his guard down wasn't the best idea Mikey had in years, not that his ideas ever even make sense in the first place. The kraang used this to kick Mikey to the head senseless, hitting him in the same spot he hit the Shredder earlier. After that, the kraang just disappeared into a portal and the kraang warship landed on water and slowly sunk.
"Mikey." Leo said weakly. His body finally gave up and let all the pain came rushing all at once. The pain was too excessive that he passed out right afterwards.
Short chapter, I know, but as I said above, I got a lot of things going on right now and cant write as fast as I could a few weeks back.
