The Invasion Part 1.

Samantha's POV.

It was a quiet night. About over a week since the incident that involved my dear baby sister getting mutated into a hideous serpent. Father still blames Hamato Yoshi for what has happened. I blame that lying lizard freak.

Speaking of that freak, I have been looking over the choker that I took from around her neck. The main material was a soft and fuzzy velvet. With a strong ring and clasp at both ends. The pendant was a silver turtle with its shell pattern a strange, and yet very familiar symbol. In the middle of the symbol was a blue gem.

I noticed the turtle was a locket, so I opened it. The locket quietly played a music box tune and I looked at the photos. The first was of a family of five. The father wore a journalist's uniform. His hair was a faded brown, indicating he was in his early to mid forties. Light blue eyes, like mine.

"You're ignoring what this is telling you!"

The mother wore a hooded Miko hakama uniform, with the hood down. She was a Lizard Mutant, like that lying traitor, but her eyes were green, like the red-masked Turtle. Raphael I think his name was. She was smiling, but her eyes were so sad.

"You never want to see Karai hurt!"

In between the mother and father were two girls of 5 years apart. The older girl wore a colorful blouse over a white tank top. And deep blue jeans. Her hair was a light blonde with natural brown lowlights. Her eyes were a light blue, like mine and the father's.

The older girl was me, before I turned into this monster.

The younger girl wore a dark grey sleeveless hoodie over a dark blue t-shirt, and olive green cargo pants. Her hair was black and styled in a ponytail. Her eyes were an amber-brown, like Yoshi's and the lizard's eyes.

The younger girl was the lying lizard traitor.

Behind the family was another Mutant. A white rabbit with strong brown eyes. He wore a light blue Rounin kimono. I've seen those eyes somewhere. I know I have.

"Don't you remember your uncle, Hamato Yoshi?"

The other photo was of another family. A very handsome Japanese man and a beautiful Japanese woman carrying a beautiful baby girl. I knew this family. It was my family. But, why am I in the other photo?

"Karai isn't your sister. I am."

Get out of my head! Stop filling me with your lies!

"Master Shredder, the hour grows late. Have you made your decision?" TigerClaw's voice spoke up, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"They are dangerous allies. But they have provided us with much technology, asking little in return." Father noted in thought.

"They will betray you. You know this." TigerClaw pointed out, "They care nothing for the human race."

"Nor do I." Father answered, then ordered, "Leave us, TigerClaw."

TigerClaw nodded and left the Throne Room. Once the door closed, I decided to speak my mind, "Father, are you sure about this? I agree with TigerClaw. I miss Karai as much as you do. But, if the Kraang-"

Father looked at me and cut me off, "Enough, Asami! I don't need your suggestions!"

I bowed my head, stepped back and activated the communications with the Kraang. The screen projected an image of Kraang Prime. I could tell by the difference.

"Kraang Prime." Father greeted.

"One called Shredder." Kraang Prime greeted, then told Father, "Kraang must have your decision."

"If I help you, will you uphold your end of the bargain?" Father asked.

Kraang Prime nodded, "Kraang will deliver the ones called Splinter, Eleanor Hamato and the Turtles."

"And once I find Karai, you will mutate her back to normal?" Father asked in a hopeful tone.

The Kraang leader nodded, "Kraang agrees to this." Then added, "But in return, Shredder must then help Kraang conquer the city known as New York City. And then the world!"

I looked away in thought. I'm starting to sense this alliance is not going to last very long. All the Kraang want is to terraform the Earth into their own version of home.

But then the lizard's words started flooding into my mind. Images of familiar scenes flashed before my eyes. Then Karai shouting at Father.

"I am not your daughter!"

*The Next Day, In the Lair...*

Eleanor's POV.

Geeze! Talk about a growing snowball of nerves. I've never felt so worried about an alien invasion all my life. I know the boys and I took out the Technodrome over a year ago, but this time the Kraang have perfected the Mutagen, and have a full invasion army ready to go. How can I not be worried?

Anywho, Mikey, Leo and I were inside the Lab, trying to work on a plan to take down the invasion force. Raph is out with Casey, searching for Miwa. And April said she was spending the day with Irma.

Leo and I were pacing back and forth. Donnie was looking over the plans with his computers and Mikey was just eating pizza.

I was too deep in my thoughts to eat. Something didn't feel right about April's situation with Irma. I still get a bad vibe about her. She's so pushy and inquisitive, it's annoying. Even her aura didn't feel right.

An aura circles your entire physical form. Not Irma, though. Her's seemed to center around her stomach. Only way that's possible is if she was a...

Ooohhh, they are sooo dead!

Donnie's voice broke my train of thought, "I'm so worried, I can't even eat."

He threw his slice of pizza across the room. Luckily Mikey caught it, before it hit the ground.

Mikey resumed eating, "Me too. Totally."

Then Uncle Splinter spoke up, as he entered the Lab, "You have a right to be concerned. The Kraang invasion is imminent." Then he asked, "What plans have you devised to stop it?"

Donnie smiled and answered, "I give you my latest invention." He grabbed the pinboard, which was covered in designs of the machine he drew up a few weeks ago, "The Turtle Mech! It's fully armed with rockets, flame throwers, and an electro harpoon. Guaranteed to stop a massive Kraang invasion army, or your money back."

Mikey smiled with stars in his eyes, "Giant robots are awesome! I vote Turtle Mech!"

Leo shook his head, "But that thing's not even ready. It could damage New York more than help it."

"It's ready... Enough." Donnie argued.

"There's gotta be another way." Leo pointed out, "We need to establish a second base outside the city."

I nodded in agreement, but Donnie argued back, "There is no time for that, Leo. The Turtle Mech is solid. If I were leader, I'd-"

Leo cut him off, "But you're not leader, Donnie! I am."

"Oh, snap." Mikey smirked, as the two glared at each other you could see sparks.

"Enough you two!" I shouted, snapping them out of their staredown.

"Your egos fight one another, when we should be preparing to fight the Kraang." Uncle Splinter pointed out.

With that, Mikey, Uncle Splinter and I left the Lab, so Donnie and Leo could sort out which plan is better.

To be honest, I think Leo had the right idea about getting a second base outside the city. You never know what might happen. What if the Turtle Mech doesn't work? What if Kraang Prime gets involved? What if Shredder gets involved?

Of course, within seconds of arguing, Leo and Donnie leave the Lab.

"Leo, the Turtle Mech is our only answer! Be reasonable!" Donnie pushed.

"I am being reasonable! We need a second base, Donnie. Period." Leo pushed back.

The argument came to a screeching halt, as the toll gates rang and April arrived with... Irma? Irma tripped and her glasses fell off her face. So she went on all-fours, looking for them.

I slowly reached for my eskrima, as April explained to us, "Guys! I'm sorry about this. But-but-but Footbots were after us, and-and Irma here is really good at keeping secrets, and, um-"

Uncle Splinter cut her off, "April, you have brought a stranger? Here?"

Irma found her glassed, put them on and dusted herself off.

"Don't worry, Master Splinter. She's cool." April assured, then turned to Irma, "Right, Irma?" Irma looked at us and froze, "Irma?"

"T-t-t-turtles?" Irma stuttered.

"What up, dog?" Mikey greeted with a smile.

"Turtles..." Irma repeated, then looked like she was going to freak out, "Derp..."

Leo walked over to her and assured, "Miss, I know we look kind of different and all, but I promise, we're not gonna hurt you."

Irma didn't reply. Instead, she started turning her head. I grabbed April's arm and pushed her and the boys behind me, as I drew my eskrima sticks.

April looked at me, "Is she okay, Ellie?"

Before I could answer, Irma's neck extended in height, revealing robot parts.

"Holy chalupa!" Mikey yelped, as he threw pizza at Irma's face.

Irma's head span, as her eyes blinked red and she repeated, "Turtles. Turtles. Turtles."

The boys and April screamed, as the rest of Irma's body morphed into, what looked like, and advanced Kraangdroid with a Kraang in the stomach area. The Kraang laughed in a rapsy, male, parrot-like voice.

(A/N: I instantly recognised that Kraang Sub-Prime was voiced by the same voice actor for Iago from the Aladdin series. Kinda hard to miss him out.

So, that's the best way I can describe his voice. Raspy and parrot-like. Hehehe.)

This Kraang was very different compared to the other Kraang. This one had a telescopic eye. A large scar across its head. Markings around its normal eye. And a mouth like Kraang Prime.

I knew it! Irma was a Kraang spy!

Irma's head continued to spin, "Turtles! Turtles!"

Mikey turned to April, "April, you gotta, like, pick your friends more carefully."

The Kraang laughed and pounded its robotic hands, ready for a fight. Then it grabbed the arcade machine.

April gasped, "Oh, my gosh! Irma was a-"

The Kraang threw the machine toward us, "Kraang!"

The boys ducked, while Uncle Splinter and I jumped out of the way.

"Now you know why I hardly spoke to her." I told April.

April gave me a look, until the Kraang spoke, "Lowly insects. Kneel before the genius of Kraang sub-Prime. Greatest Kraang spy in all of Dimension X!" Then he told us, "The discovery of the Lair was the final component, needed to launch full scale invasion!"

Just as he finished talking, Kraang portals started appearing all around the Lair.

"Oh, no!" April gasped.

Mikey gulped, "This can't be good."

Then Kraangdroids walked out of the portals and started firing their blasters at us. I grabbed April's hand and hid her behind the large pipes near the bedrooms.

"The signal was correct. Kraang has discovered the place of Turtle hiding." A Kraangdroid said, as it appeared from the portal.

Leo tried to grab a weapon from the dummy, but Kraang Sub-Prime threw the pinball machine at him.

"This is so messed up!" April spoke up, "My best friend for the past year was a Kraang?" Then she looked at me, "And you knew?"

I pointed to my eyes, "You can't fool these eyes, April." Then I explained, "I wish I told you sooner, but you wouldn't believe me, if I did."

"Fooled you! Fooled you all!" Kraang Sub-Prime shouted.

Then he chased after Mikey, who fled into the kitchen. I jumped out of my hiding spot, withdrew my eskrima sticks, drew my katana blades and started taking out the Kraangdroids.

Mikey ran out the kitchen, trying to get away from Kraang Sub-Prime and Irma's head, which was shooting lasers from her eyes at everything she looked at.

"Destroy the Turtles! Wipe out the lair!" Kraang Sub-Prime ordered, as he turned to Uncle Splinter, "But the rat comes with us."

Mikey kicked Irma's head away from him, but it ended up biting Donnie's foot.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow!" Donnie yelped, as he hopped, trying to fight back and get Irma off.

"Sorry, D!" Mikey apologised as he ran from the laserfire.

Kraang Sub-Prime and Uncle Splinter took their fight into the dojo. And Kraang Sub-Prime was able to land a few blows, "Take that, you filthy rat!"

He summoned a circular saw from his right hand, and aimed to attack my uncle with it. I quickly jumped in and blocked the attack with my blades.

Kraang Sub-Prime looked at me and exclaimed, "What?"

I just gave him a glare and pushed the blade away from Uncle Splinter. Kraang Sub-Prime growled and took me by surprise with a powerful kick, forcing me to fly out of the Dojo and into the Lounge. Mikey was able to fight back, now that he had his nunchucks.

I noticed Irma climbing above Leo's head and was about to jump toward him. Before Leo and I could react, one of Leo's katanas flew and stabbed her in mid-air.

Leo looked at the robot head in confusion, then Uncle Splinter shouted, "Go! Escape!"

He threw another katana and Donnie's staff to Leo and Donnie.

"But, what about you?" I asked, as worry started to creep chills up my spine.

"I will hold them off." Uncle Splinter answered. Kraang Sub-Prime charged out of the Dojo and resumed his fight with my Uncle.

"We're not leaving you!" Leo protested, grabbing his other katana from Irma.

"I have a plan!" Uncle Splinter explained, then strongly instructed, "Go now!"

"Come on! Head for the Shell-Raiser!" Donnie shouted.

We followed him to the toll gates, where the Shell-Raiser was parked. Kraang Sub-Prime noticed and fired rockets at us, "You'll go nowhere!"

We dodged the rockets and they attacked the Shell-Raiser. The impact of the rockets knocked the van off to its side.

Donnie gasped and cried in dismay, "My baby!"

Then the Kraang continued to attack us. We crossed the toll gates, barely with the scales on our noses. Then Leo instructed, "Everyone, follow me!" And he ran down the tunnel.

April, Donnie, Mikey and I quickly followed, but I stayed behind for a second to look back. My heart burned in anger, but worry for my uncle frosted my blood. I shook my head and quickly caught up to everyone. We continued running until we were in the dark sewer tunnels.

"This way." Leo instructed, as we followed him.

"This is all my fault!" April spoke up between breaths, "I led them straight to the Lair."

"Don't blame yourself, April." Mikey assured.

I nodded in agreement, "Mikey's right. You were just trying to help a friend."

April looked at me, "You're not mad at me?"

"Why would I be mad at you?" I raised a brow, "The real ones I'm mad at are the Kraang."

Then we came to a stop as the tunnel lead to a fork. "Which way?" April asked.

"Left! That'll lead us to the Turtle Mech." Donnie answered.

"No! We gotta find Raph and Casey first." Leo argued.

"We can find them in the Mech!" Donnie argued back. I rubbed my forehead, as the tension between Leo and Donnie began to build again.

"It's too slow!" Leo pointed out.

"You're the one who's too slow." Donnie argued, "You're leading us into disaster."

"I'm doing what Splinter would want us to do." Leo shouted.

"Boys!" I yelled in frustration.

Before anyone had time to react, a Kraang portal appeared between Leo and Donnie, seperating Leo and I from Donnie, April and Mikey.

A Kraangdroid walked out of the portal on Donnie's side, "It is the one called The Turtles."

Then it started firing its blaster at them. More droids walked out and fired their weapons as well. Donnie tried to deflect the laserfire with his staff and a laser caught his arm and he collapsed.

Mikey fought off the Kraang, "Booyakasha!"

Some of the droids turned their attention to Leo and I. We fought them off and used their robot husks as shields.

"Run! Take April and Donnie to safety." Leo told Mikey, then looked at me, "Ellie, go with them. I'll lead the Kraang away."

"Dude, we can't leave you too!" Mikey shouted back.

I turned to Leo, "Leo, there's no way I'm-"

Leo cut me off by grabbing my kimono top, dragged me closer to him, closed his eyes and pressed his lips against mine. This took me by surprise. My heart felt like it was trying escape my chest. My face went cherry red. It was like time came to a halting stop.

And what's better, Leo wasn't under the influence of poisonous wasp venom and wasn't trying to spread the virus, like last time.

Leo pulled away from me and pushed me toward Mikey, "Just do it!"

He stabbed two Kraangdroid heads into his katanas and banged them together, "Come on, Kraang! This way. Woo! Yeah!" The Kraang turned their full attention to Leo and chased him down the tunnel, "Follow me! Come on! Over here!"

April and I helped Donnie to his feet and made our way through the tunnel to the Turtle Mech. However, Donnie was in bad shape, so I suggested we follow Leo's lead and find to others.

We eventally found a ladder to the surface. Mikey climbed first.

He lifted the manhole cover, giving the tunnel a bit of light, "Coast is clear." He quickly ducked his head, as we heard a car pass by. Then he tried again, "Okay, now the coast is clear."

Mikey and I removed the manhole cover and April was the first to enter the surface. Donnie followed and winced, covering his wound, "Ow, ow, it hurts so bad."

April put her hand over his and assured with a small smile, "You'll be all right, Donnie. I'll get you fixed up."

Donnie smiled back. I grabbed my T-Phone and tried contacting Leo. The phone dialed and answered with the dead line tone. "He's not answering. We're on our own from here." I told everyone.

Donnie sighed with a sulk, "It's my fault. Man, I shouldn't have argued with Leo. Now he's gone."

Suddenly, another Kraang portal appeared. April, Mikey, Donnie and I quickly hid behind a taxi before the Kraang marched through the portal and notice us.

They marched straight past us without a second glance. "I don't think they saw us." April whispered, as soon as the Kraang were gone.

Donnie sighed, "Leo was right. We should've gotten out of the city while we had a chance."

I shook my head, "Not without Kirby and the others." Then I started making my way to April's apartment, "Come on!"

April, Mikey and Donnie followed after me. A thought came to me and I grabbed my T-Phone again. With the Lair overtaken by the Kraang, Raph and Casey need to be updated on any changes.

I called Raph and he answered, "Ellie, where are you? Are you hurt?"

"No time to explain. We're on our way to April's apartment. Meet us there!" I answered.

"Roger that." Raph nodded, then hung up his end.

*A Little Later, In April's Apartment...*

April, Mikey, Donnie and I arrived to April's apartment. Kirby quickly let us in and we explained what was going on. Of course, Kirby fainted out of shock, but I quickly woke him up.

Now, all we have to do is wait for the others and fix Donnie's arm, which April said she'd handle.

"The city's overrun. What are we- What is anyone going to do?" Kirby spoke up, as he paced around the room.

"Ow." Donnie yelped, but assured, "No, I'm okay."

April grabbed a bandange and started wrapping it around his wound.

Donnie sighed and spoke up, "April, now that it's the end of the world and all, again, I figured I'd better just tell you, kind of, how I feel."

This caught April's attention, as she tightened the bandange too tight.

Donnie yelped, "Ow!"

April noticed and quickly apologised, "Oh, sorry, Donnie!" Then told him, "You should stop talking. It just makes things hurt more."

I raised a brow at the ginger-haired teenager. Then there was a loud boom over our heads. Kirby fell to his knees and cried, "We're doomed! Doomed! Oh, my poor sweet April."

"Don't worry, Mr. O'Neil." Mikey assured, "This whole alien invasion thing is really no big deal." Then he opened the curtains, "Look."

Kirby looked and saw it was pandamonium outside.

"Mikey!" I shouted.

Mikey looked and noticed, "Oh." He quickly closed the curtains and smiled sheepishly, "Never mind."

Like before, Kirby fainted. I folded my arms at the young Turtle, "Way to go, Knucklehead! I just got him out of the last one."

Mikey gave me an apologetic look, then peeked through the curtains, "Oh, boy."

*Meanwhile, In the City...*

Samantha's POV.

It was extreme chaos is the streets of New York. The Kraang were destroying everthing in their path. No sign of Yoshi, O'Neil, the Lizard or the Turtles trying to stop this invasion.

A male teenager carrying a little girl, ran by and stopped in front of us. The teen screamed and ran off.

"The city is ours, Master Shredder." TigerClaw told Father.

"Since I was a boy, I have seen this very vision. The world in chaos." Father spoke with a small smile in his tone.

A familiar howl filled the air, as Bradford arrived to report to Father, "Master Shredder, the Kraang have sent word. Leonardo is not far from here. They're leading him straight to us."

I raised a brow, "Leonardo? The blue one?"

Bradford nodded. Father smiled under his mask, "Excellent. Then it is the beginning of the end."

I looked at the streets and destruction. Something inside me kept nagging that this is not right. I should've stopped this. My heart ached. My mind continued to send me flashes of images. One seemed to stuck in my mind.

A destroyed house in flames, at the dead of night. Three mangled bodies inside. Well, one not so mangled. It was carried out by a shadowed silohette. I felt like I know the shadowed man.

What significance does that have to me? Why does my head and heart hurt just thinking about it?

Within a few minutes, Leonardo appeared from the sewers. The Foot Bots intercepted him and attacked. Leonardo fought back and used extraordinary stealth to sneak past without getting detected by anything else. Once in the middle of an abandoned construction site below us, the Foot Bots grouped up against him. Like an honorary ninja, Leonardo fought back.

"He fights bravely." TigerClaw noted.

"He is young, overconfident, foolish." Father replied.

I narrowed my eyes at the blue masked turtle, "He fights like..."

In my eyes, Leonardo's image was replaced by the tall white rabbit Rounin, from the Lizard's locket. My head started surging with pain, as more images of things I don't remember.

"Do not take chances with him, Master." Bradford told Father, "We should destroy him quickly!"

"Archers." Father called. The Foot Bot archers aimed their arrows at Leonardo. Leonardo turned as Father shouted, "Fire!"

The archers fired their arrows at the Turtle.

To be continued...
