Angel: I'm actually leaving today XD so, as a Christmas gift, I'm posting the rest of the season today! KS's Wattpad name is HermanaKunoichi95, btw, almost forgot.
Raph's POV
I press buttons on the control panel. Someone once said, 'The only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys.' I steady the vehicle. Well, if that's true, then I think I just became a man. I fly in the air. Or at least an adult mutant ninja turtle. This particular play room happens to belong to our sworn enemy, Oruko Saki. Aka the Shredder. Leo is knocked against the wall. Mikey and Donnie are hit by invisible forces. They reveal themselves to be the Foot Tech Ninjas.
The dudes with the disappearing act, they're called Foot Tech Ninjas. They turn invisible and strike Mikey, Splinter, and Amy. Quick to act, tough to beat. I aim lasers at them and they turn visible again. We've been fighting our way up, floor by floor, to the Shredder's skyscraper of evil. And you know what else? It's Amy's birthday. Amy dodges lasers.
It's kinda like a video game with lots of different levels. I look in surprise at a robot with four levels. Only there ain't no extra lives in this game.
No one's POV
The turtles, April, Casey, Splinter, and Grandmamma sneak upstairs to a room. "This is gonna be so good!" Mikey exclaims loudly and they shush him while Leo points to the door. Mikey had something hidden behind his shell, along with everyone else. Leo slowly opens the door and peeks in.
Amy snores quietly as her hair covers her head. Her bow was missing due to an 'incident' with Mikey. Everyone sneaks in to reveal birthday items. April ties the balloons to the end of Amy's bed. Donnie opens the curtains. Splinter and Grandmamma place presents near her bed. Casey holds the cake, to everyone else's dismay since…he was Casey. Mikey holds a breakfast tray. Raph hands out the party hats. Leo places a birthday tiara on Amy's head. She was still unaware of her guests.
"Where's the camera?" Donnie whispers and Grandmamma hands it to him. He adjusts the lens and presses record. "Okay, on three. One…two…three!"
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" everyone shouts and Amy jumps up in her bed, cringing at the noise. She shakes her head as she groans. "You guys better have a good reason for…"
Her voice falters and is replaced with a smile as she sees everything decorated. "Oh right…today's my birthday." Everyone chuckles and Mikey holds out breakfast.
"Thanks, Mikey," Amy says with a smile. "You're welcome, birthday girl!" he exclaims with a wink.
"Make a wish, Amy," April tells her as Casey holds out the cake which is lit with candles. Amy closes her eyes and after a minute, she blows out the candles. "What'd ya wish for?" Raph asks, arms crossed.
"You'll see," Amy replies and Splinter hands her a gift. "For you, my child."
"Aw," she comments before ripping it up. She gasps as she holds up a pink mask. "Wow, a ninja mask! Awesome!"
"Open mine, open mine!" Mikey yells excitedly, shoving his present in her face. She chuckles and opens his next. "Nail polish?"
"Yeah. Girls like that stuff, right?"
"Yes, but I never thought YOU would be buy me it."
"He probably had something in mind for himself, so it's a start," Raph comments and Mikey pouts. "I did not!"
Amy chuckles again. "It's cool, Mikey. Thanks." Mikey beams and hugs her. "At least SOMEONE likes my presents!" he turns to glare at Raph, who rolls his eyes.
Soon, she had gone through everyone's presents except for one. Her grandmother gave her a secret recipe that Amy had been asking about for years: her famous snickerdoodle cookies. April gave her a sweater that she once saw in the mall, which she really wanted. Donnie had given her ice skates. Raph gave her a green bow to hold up her hair. Casey got her tickets to a hockey game, which she reminded herself to throw out when he wasn't looking.
She turns to Leo once everyone was gone to finish packing up. They were finally going home. "I wanted to give you mine last," he murmurs, blushing. Amy feels her cheeks heating up as she slowly opens the box. When she opens it, she finds a medium sized puppy plushy, a Maltese plushy in fact.
"Aww, Leo, thank you. I love it," she tells him, smiling warmly. Leo chuckles and rubs his neck.
"I know how much you love puppies, and since you said you were allergic, I figured it was the next best thing."
Amy hugs the plushy. "I can't believe you remembered that."
"Of course I did. I still remember the look on your face when you said you loved animals. You were so happy. I'll never forget that."
Amy blushes and looks away. Leo clears his throat when he realizes what he said. "Leo, you better not try anything with my baby child without permission!" Grandmamma calls from down the hall. Leo and Amy give a look of horror and embarrassment. Of course her grandmother had to ruin it by embarrassing her…
"U-Um…happy birthday." He walks out of her room and Amy looks down at the plushy, hugging it close to her chest.
Later that morning, the sewers looked the same as always. Water drips down and Leo looks around a corner. He turns to Raph, who was looking atop a ladder. He jumps down. "All clear."
Casey appears nearby and accidentally kicks a can loudly. He smiles sheepishly. "Nice one, Casey," Donnie deadpans as the others emerge from the shadows behind him.
"Why don't you just broadcast it to the Foot ninjas?" Mikey asks sarcastically. "Should've let someone else go first," Grandmamma mutters.
"I'm tellin' ya, there's nobody down here!" Casey argues and they walk up behind him. Splinter sniffs the air to sense anything. He nods at Casey. "I believe you may be right, Mr. Jones."
April places her hands on her hips. "Well, that'd be a first."
Amy shrugs. "I dunno, April, he was right about those invisible ninjas!"
"See, someone believes me," Casey replies, smirking at Amy.
"We'll agree to disagree on that subject," Amy retorts.
Donnie turns a pipe and the rest move away so the wall wouldn't be blocked by them. Donnie opens a panel and puts in a code. The wall moves away to reveal a door. The door opens to reveal the lair. "Welcome home, everybody."
"Ah, just like we left it," Leo comments as they enter.
"Cool," Raph says.
"Home sweet home!"
Grandmamma looks around in awe. "I remember this place like it was yesterday…not like this, though."
Amy smiles at her. "I told you the guys fixed it up."
Donnie goes to his computer station. "And you were worried the Foot would find this place, Mikey."
"Heck yeah," Mikey opens a cabinet. "I couldn't bear the thought of them harming my babies," he pulls out two bags of chips. "Hello babies. Daddy missed you. Yes, he did." Mikey kisses the bag of chips and Casey shakes his head, rolling his eyes.
"He treats those chips like he treats his weapons," Amy murmurs as she walks past the kitchen. Mikey eats a chip and grabs a carton of milk. He chugs it down.
"Um, wouldn't that milk be about three months old?" Casey points out and Mikey looks in disgust before spitting out the milk. "That would explain the chunks." He looks to see Casey covered in milk.
"Boys will be boys," Grandmamma shakes her head from the doorway.
"I don't get it. Last time, the sewers were crawling with Foot goons searching for us. Why would Shredder just send them all home?" Raph says as he kicks his punching bag. Leo steadies the punching bag.
"If we all know Shredder, and we do, he wouldn't stop unless he has a good reason," Amy says to them.
"Maybe he thinks there's no one left to search for," Leo points out.
"You know, being dead might have its advantages," Raph murmurs.
"Yeah, it just might give us the element of surprise," Leo answers in thought.
"Are you thinking what I think you're thinking?" Mikey asks as he and Casey step out of the kitchen, Casey drying himself off.
"I think he's thinking what you think he's thinking," Donnie answers.
"If he's thinking what I'm thinking, then I'm thinking we shouldn't just be thinking. What do you think?" Raph replies, pointing to Casey, who looks really confused. "Huh?"
"Shredder believes us vanquished in the explosion at Miss O'Neil's. Thus leaving our enemy vulnerable to a surprise attack," Splinter explains to him and he gives a look of understanding. Amy slaps her forehead.
"I'm not even the same age as you, and I still got that."
Leo gives a look of thought. "Okay, if we're gonna do this, we need to find out everything we can about Foot headquarters."
"I don't know if I can hack into that system. It was designed by Dr. Baxter Stockman himself," Donnie answers hesitantly.
"Too bad you don't know anybody who used to work with Stockman," April points out and the two smirk at each other. Donnie moves aside and April sits down, cracking her hands.
"Yeah girl, work your magic!" Grandmamma exclaims with a wink and Amy chuckles, covering her mouth. She types away.
Leo and Raph prepare, Splinter monitoring them. "Remember my sons, the battle you face today will be most arduous. You must go in prepared." Raph practices with his sai. "I'm prepared…to kick some shell!"
"I think Master Splinter meant a little something more," Leo suggests.
"I believe that the time has come to return the sword to its former owner," he glances at the Sword of Tengu. Raph walks up to it. "Now you're talking."
However, he forgets to put on the glove and is knocked back to the couch. Amy facepalms. "Forget something?" she asks, leaning towards Raph with a smirk.
"Uh, maybe you should have the honor of carrying the sword, Amy. Uh, it's your birthday after all and you are the sword girl," he says nervously. Amy gives a deadpan look as she looks down at the protective glove. "Gee, how nice of you."
"I'll carry it for you," Leo offers and takes the glove from her. Amy smiles warmly at him. Leo stares at the sword, nervous. Amy and Splinter notice. "Are you alright, my son?"
"I…I was just remembering the last time I tangled with Shredder's Elite ninja. I…I don't wanna let my brothers down."
"You must look within and find a strength that is yours and yours alone. You will not let them down. I feel it in my heart," Splinter tells him.
"Leo, you don't have to carry it if you don't want to," Amy murmurs and Leo turns to her. "No, no, I can get through this. Don't worry about me."
Amy smiles at him. "And for the record, you'll never let me down."
Leo gives a look of surprise and smiles gently at her. He takes her hand. "Thank you." They stare into each other's eyes for a while. Splinter smirks at the two.
"We're in! We're in!" Donnie shouts and they jump away from each other at his voice. Amy looks down at the floor, blushing and twiddling her feet. Leo whistles and scratches his neck sheepishly.
"We had to use three different dictionary attack programs to crack the encryption algorithm," April explains.
"Then it was just simple matter of creating a dummy account and installing the remote access Trojan horse," Donnie and April high-five each other. "Thrilling," Mikey deadpans.
"But, can you get us inside?" Leo points out.
"Never mind that, can you get us to Shredder?" Raph questions.
April points to a map of the Foot skyscraper on the computer. "Getting inside's easy. Getting to Shredder? Difficult, but doable."
Donnie points to the top. "What concerns me is everything in between," he comments.
"Bring it on!" Raph declares, punching his hands. He was ready to fight.
"I can coordinate computer systems from this end," April explains.
"Great. Casey, you stay here and protect April, just in case," he says when April gives him a look.
"We're gonna be a four turtle wrecking crew!" Leo replies as the four bring their hands together.
"Five," Splinter places a hand on top.
"Six," Amy places her hand last and they give her a look. She glares at them.
"What? It was the wish I made this morning. You guys really think I'm gonna stay here on the sidelines on my birthday?" She gives them puppy eyes at the last word. Leo sighs in defeat.
"Fine, but only because it's your birthday," he replies, patting her head gently and she smiles in triumph.
"Let's roll."
They drive in the Battle Shell to Shredder's lair. Driving past the gate, they storm inside. "This is it," Donnie says. A missile from the vehicle fires at a door and they enter through the wreckage. "We're going in!"
Foot ninjas see the Battle Shell and move away in shock.
In Saki's room, an alarm sounds. "Perimeter alarm," Hun reports.
"Find out what it is and take care of it," Saki orders.
A ninja handles the controls in the control room. "This is Control. We're under attack. Commence lockdown."
Ninjas block the next entrance, ready to fight if necessary. The doors start to close. The Battle Shell continues to move, however. "Front armor down." The windows close. As the doors are starting to close, mechanisms appear from the side of the car. A rocket tilts it to the side, enabling it to get in by a smidge. Missiles fire at the ninjas and they run away from the explosion. The Battle Shell swerves before stopping.
Weapons come out from the walls and ceilings. Lasers are fired, with no effect. The Battle Shell drives around, avoiding the lasers while having no damages from others. Lasers continue to fire as the top opens and Hun appears. "Aw, crud."
Missiles fire at the lasers, destroying them. Hun gives a sound of surprise and rolls away from a missile. He pulls out a bomb and throws it under the Battle Shell. It takes damage from the bomb, unfortunately, as the tires catch on fire and it is stuck on its side. Hun pries the back open. "WHAT?"
He is surprised to find that no one is inside: just damaged parts. "Empty…?"
Raph uses a laser to make a hole in one of the pipes and kicks it open. "Nice remote control work, slick," Raph tells Donnie as he steps out.
"And they say hours of video games are bad for ya," Mikey chuckles. Donnie gives a look of slight sadness.
"Poor Battle Shell. I really loved that oversized gadget gas guzzler," he murmurs.
"And I'm sure the next one you build, you'll love just as much. But right now, let's stick to the plan," Leo assures him as he helps Amy to her feet. Donnie has on a headset that came with the Shell Cells.
"April, stage one complete," he reports.
"Roger that, Don. Uploading worm program now," April tells him and Casey appears behind her. "So, what are you doing exactly?"
"Whipping up a virus to clog their communications network."
Hun pulls the door open in anger and throws it. Ninjas back away and Hun's phone beeps. He picks it up and Saki's face appears. "Hun, report?"
"Sir, the truck was a decoy," Hun answers.
Shock is on Saki's face. "What?!"
"There's something else you should know. I've seen this truck before. It belongs to the turtles and their puny pink friend!"
"The turtles? Amelia? Alive? But Stockman assured me that they were…Stockman."
Stockman's computer turns on to reveal Saki. "Stockman! Report to me at once! Stockman! Stockman! Stockman!"
Either Stockman didn't hear him, or he pretended that he didn't.
Saki's screen goes back to Hun. "Hun, search the building. Put all ninja on full alert. And find Stockman!" However, Hun's screen begins to static, along with Saki's. Unbeknownst to them, this was the work of April's virus.
"I can't hear you, master. Your signal is breaking up! Security control, this is Hun. Can anybody hear me?" he demands, trying to get someone.
The turtles, Amy, and Splinter are at an elevator. "Comm system's down. What's next?" April reports to Donnie, who is trying to work the elevator.
"April, I'm having trouble getting in. Can you dig up an access code?"
"Yeah, but it's gonna be tricky: They change the codes hourly," she explains.
"Well that helps," Amy mutters.
"Allow me," Raph calls out and kicks the door open. "Noisy, but effective," Mikey comments with a shrug.
They enter the control room, ninjas everywhere. "Now that's a lot of ninjas," Mikey says and they charge at the six.
"So, we doing this with banter or without?" Mikey asks and they continue to charge. "Definitely without."
Leo ducks under a ninja and clashes swords with him from behind. Leo battles two ninjas with swords and split kicks them. Donnie hits one from behind using the end of his staff and throws his bag at one before striking him and catching the bag. Raph clashes with one before disarming two and knocking them back. He dodges a weapon from behind and disarms him, kicking him from behind into another ninja. Mikey twirls his nunchucks, chuckling.
One of them throws a chain and he deflects it. They throw more chains and he swings to deflect them. He taunts them as he jumps over one. One actually captures his foot. "Uh-oh." They throw him off balance and jump to him, only to be kicked back. He chuckles as he stands up.
Amy slides away from a ninja with a sword. She ducks as he swings towards her head. "Geez, you're a persistent one, aren't you?" she asks as she clashes swords with him. She suddenly smirks and points behind him. "Look, it's the Shredder!" he looks behind him and Amy taps her feet twice, making a large wave of rock hit the ninja. Amy smiles as she touches her crystal. "If I have to wear this thing, I might as well use it from time to time."
Splinter is surrounded by ninjas. He punches and kicks, making all of them go down. Leo hits one in the gut and turns his head. "Donnie, do your thing!"
Donnie runs and uses his staff to propel himself to the controls. He knocks out the ninja at the panel and jumps in the chair. "April, I'm hooking up. Prepare to download remote access codes!"
"Creating synergistic interface now."
Donnie ducks under a ninja that was thrown by Mikey. "You mind? I'm working here," he says to Mikey. "Sorry," Mikey shrugs.
He kicks a chair to Raph, who places a ninja on it. "Uptown express coming through!" he calls out, kicking the chair. Leo jumps over it so that it would hit the ninja he was facing. Amy backflips over the chair and Splinter jumps onto it. He smacks two ninjas with his staff and jumps off.
"Well, that was refreshing," Raph comments and Amy cracks her knuckles. "Definitely beats my past birthdays."
"No doubt more will be on the way," Splinter points out.
"April, we need another way out," Donnie says to April.
A map of the room they were currently in appears on the screen. "Main ventilation shaft. Duct is located in the northwest corner."
Donnie walks up to it. "Got it." He kicks it open.
Hun and more ninjas run into the control room to see ninjas and some things damaged. He walks up to one and grabs him by the shirt. "Where are the turtles and their pink friend?" The ninja points to the open shaft. "Turtles…Pink girl…"
Hun drops him and looks up the shaft just in time to see a tail and a turtle foot. He turns to the Foot Tech ninjas. "Find them." They disappear and Hun growls.
In another room, Donnie kicks open the shaft and they jump out. A variety of vehicles, which are equipped with weapons, are in the room. Donnie whistles as they look around. "It's like I died and went to techno geek heaven."
"Whoa. A turtle could kick some serious butt with this stuff," Raph comments. Mikey looks at a weapon. "What do you think this one does?" he wonders, showing it to Amy. It explodes some smoke in Amy's face and she coughs, covering her mouth with her arm. Leo pulls him away.
"That answer your question, lamebrain?" he questions sarcastically. Amy coughs, waving a hand in her face as she steps out, soot on her face.
"Thanks a lot, Mikey," she retorts. He chuckles sheepishly as Leo glares at him. "Sorry…"
"Here, let me help you get all that soot off your face," Leo tells her, gently wiping her face clean with his hand. Amy blushes as he does so. "T-Thank you…"
Leo blushes and pulls away, chuckling nervously. "N-No problem at all, Ames…" Splinter walks past them. "Come my children, we must keep on the move." Mikey throws away the toy, smirking at Leo, who pushes him further. The Foot Tech Ninjas watch from above.
They are walking throughout the room, not noticing the ninjas following them. Splinter suddenly stops. "Wait." He sniffs the air.
"What is it, Sensei?" Leo asks in concern.
"I sense…a presence." However, they look to see nothing. "Nobody here but us turtles and brunette," Mikey says, shrugging. They walk a little further before Splinter stops them. "No. Something is here. Something that cannot be seen."
"Foot Tech Ninjas!" Donnie confirms. They look around to sense something before Splinter is punched and Mikey is knocked away. Leo is punched and Raph is knocked to the floor. Amy is punched in the gut and she groans, holding her stomach. Leo is knocked back again and Mikey falls to the floor after a punch. Raph falls on top of a table, breaking it. Donnie knocks his head on a cabinet.
"Don't worry, guys. I came prepared for these creeps," he explains and rummages through his bag. However, it is thrown away and he is thrown to the floor. Mikey struggles as he is hit and manages to get to a forklift behind him. He pulls the lever and laughs. "Ha! In your face, invisible man! Smoked your transparent butt!" One of the ninjas appear behind him and clears his throat.
"Aw shell." Mikey is kicked to the ground below. Splinter gasps and is about to check on him, but gets stopped by a ninja. He battles with him before he disappears into thin air. Splinter sniffs before one of them kicks him into some boxes. Leo stands in front of Splinter and tries to fight him, but to no avail.
"They're toying with us," Leo whispers to Raph.
"Oh yeah?" he asks and sees a vehicle. "Then it's time to use some toys on them!" He works the control panel and the vehicle flies up. Splinter is kicked away and Leo looks up. "What the…?"
"Hang on! I got your back!" he calls out. Mikey is kicked and punched while Amy is thrown into some boxes. Raph fires a laser, which Splinter and Mikey dodge. The laser hits the ninjas, making them visible.
"Way to go, Raph! The laser's messing up their cloaking controls!" Donnie explains and he along with Splinter duck under lasers. "Woah!"
Raph spins around, lasers firing. "Ames, look out!" Leo shouts, pushing her out of the way. They tumble until they hit the wall, Leo on top of her. Amy blushes a dark shade of red and Leo stands up. "Hey, bro, now you just gotta work on your aim!" Mikey calls out and Splinter turns to the ninjas.
"I only see two. Where is the third ninja?"
A large tank appears out of the smoke, revealing the third ninja.
It fires a missile at Raph. "Time to get the shell out of here!" He jumps off, and the missile hits a truck instead. His vehicle flies around, since no one was controlling it, and crashes into the ceiling.
Saki and his room shake at the crash. "What is happening?" he demands and he continues to get a hold of someone. "Stockman! Hun! Someone report!"
The crash causes a hole in the ceiling. "Always thought this room could use a skylight," Mikey comments as Amy looks up at it. "I don't."
Mikey is suddenly hit by the third ninja. Donnie grabs his bag. "Hang on, Mikey. I came prepared," he holds up a shuriken and throws it at the ninja, electrocuting him and his cloaking device. "Electric counter shock shuriken. Instant short circuit."
"Donnie, you are the turtle," Amy comments and Donnie smiles. Leo struggles with a ninja. "Get him before he—" he is thrown away and the ninja turns invisible. Leo crashes into a scaffolding, which crashes down on him.
"Leo!" Amy exclaims as they run to him. "Hang on, bro, we'll get you out!" Raph calls out, but they look in shock as the tank emerges from the explosion. They help Leo.
"Guys, take cover!" he tells them. "And leave you? No way!" Raph answers.
"No turtle left behind!" Amy replies. Splinter jumps up to the tank and wrestles with the ninja, trying to shut it off. He manages to press the off button just in time. The others finally get the debris off.
"Finally, free at last," he says in relief. Splinter struggles with the ninja before he is punched. "Oh, not with the invisible ninjas in the house," Mikey comments as they cringe. He fires a missile at them, which they leap over.
They manage to land safely, only to be hit by invisible ninjas. They are smacked around and Raph tries to hit them. "Yo Donnie, can't you shock 'em?"
"Not if I can't see 'em!" Donnie answers and Amy glares, clenching her fists. "Alright, I've had enough of this foolishness!" she exclaims, untying her bow and putting it around her eyes. She takes a stance with her swords. "Come get some," she growls.
She hears a ninja and slices the device off him. Donnie throws a shock shuriken at him. The other ninja appears behind her and she turns to slice the device off in anger. She pants heavily as he stares at her. "Uh, happy birthday?" he asks nervously, seeing the crown on her head. Donnie shocks him and he screams in pain. She throws a shuriken at nearby fire extinguishers which let out smoke to put out the fires. Amy removes her make-shift blindfold and reties her hair. The others look at her in shock.
"What?" she asks sheepishly. Leo had remembered when he had done the same thing when he was facing the ninjas. The fact that Amy had managed to do the same surprised him a little.
"…Never mind," Donnie comments.
"Excellent work, my children," Splinter tells them.
"And we put out all the fires too," Mikey says.
"WE?" Amy asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Which way now?" Donnie questions.
"Up," Leo confirms, pointing to the wall in the ceiling.
They climb up the hole to see a lab. Amy shivers as she looks around, recalling not so pleasant memories of being in that genetics lab. "What is this place?" Splinter asks.
"April, check the building schematics. See if you can tell us where we are."
"All I can tell is you're on the 33rd floor. It won't display any other information," April explains.
They see three mutants in the containers. "It looks kinda familiar," Raph murmurs.
"It should. It's a Foot genetics lab," Donnie tells him and Amy scratches her arm nervously.
"Are you saying that is just like that abandoned lab we found deep under the city?" Leo asks in disbelief.
"Dun dun dun dun!" Mikey exclaims and Amy jumps a feet in the air. Mikey laughs at her and Raph hits him in the back of the head.
"Knock it off, Mikey. You're not helping Amy," he scolds.
"Amy, are you okay? You seem nervous," Donnie says in concern.
"Nervous? Me? Nope, I'm not. Nope, nope, nope. No way…this place just gives me the creeps, that's all," Amy denies and as soon as she says this, an alarm blares in the room. Raph and Donnie glance at Mikey. "I didn't touch anything, honest."
The canisters open, letting out all the liquid. They step back as they see Shredder jump out. "Is that Shredder?"
"I don't think so, Mikey," Donnie answers and two more emerge. "Though they might be his genetic clones."
"MIGHT be?" Raph asks and they back away in shock.
"Hey Donnie, got anything in your bag of tricks to deal with this?"
