Showdown Prt 2.

Eleanor's POV.

Alright. I might need to back up a bit. The Turtles and I have discovered that the Kraang have started their true invasion of Earth. So, we came up with a plan to take down the Kraang and destroy the portal, at TCRI. However, the plan kind of blew up in our faces.

Instead we had to improvize. And that kinda worked, but our secret weapon ran out of juice. As a Plan C, Leo decided to tell us to escape the base, as he stayed behind to rupture the power cell, that powered the portal. He succeeded, but didn't plan ahead.

Luckily, Raph was able to rescue him from the deadly fall. However, the Kraang's main ship, the Technodrome, has arrived on Earth, and the biggest battle of our lives has just begun. And it's only gonna get worse from here-on out.

Can you say, 'Freakiest day ever'? Cause I think I just did.

Anywho, now the boys and I are trying to keep our distance from the giant sphere-ship. Every human in New York could see it, and were staring it.

"I think I speak for all of us when I say..." Mikey said, the he started screaming in panic.

"What the heck is that thing?" Raph asked.

"It's the end of the world!" Leo answered.

"Actually, it's just the end of humanity's reign, as the planet's dominant life form." Donnie corrected, the he continued, "You know, like when the dinosaurs-"

Leo cut him off, "Now? Really? Y-you're going to do this now?"

"Well, excuse me, but it's how I deal with stress!" Donnie answered in a shout.

"Well, maybe it doesn't have weapons." Raph said, trying to be optimistic. Then he asked, "Does it look like it has weapons?"

I looked and saw that the sphere was aiming its antennea at us. Lasers fired, trying to take us out of the air.

"I think it has weapons!" I shouted.

The sphere continued to fire its lasers at us. The boys and I tried our best to dodge the barrage. But Mikey got unlucky and accidently collided with Donnie. Both Donnie and Mikey lost control, and they flew out of control.

"Donnie! Mikey!" Leo called, as the younger brothers fell on the rooftop of an apartment building.

"What now?" Raph asked.

Before Leo can answer, the lasers fired at them. Raph tried his best to stir clear, but a laser was lucky and caught his right wing. Raph lost control and he and Leo fell toward a nearby alley.

"Raph! Leo!" I cried. But, the sphere turned its barrage of laser-fire at me.

I dodged the barrage, and tried to release powerful psionic sonic waves at the 'main eye' of the sphere. I heard a scream, but the eye fired the waves back at me. I lost control of my flying, and I crashed, head-first, into the curb of the alley, near Leo. That went well...

I heard moaning, as I recovered from the crash. Raph was getting out of a dumpster, and Leo was struggling to sit up from falling on a street-matress.

Donnie and Mikey arrived to check on us. "Are you guys all right?" Donnie asked.

"Been better." Raph answered, as Leo and I sat up, rubbing our heads.

"That's gonna hurt in the morning..." I said, rubbing my neck.

The sphere floated over our heads, as the citizens ran around in a panic.

"What do we do now?" Donnie asked.

"We need to talk to Splinter. Come on." Leo told us. We nodded in agreement, and made our way back to the Lair.

Once we arrived at the Lair, by the toll gates, the entire area was completely empty. No sign of April, Kirby or Uncle Splinter anywhere. But, I could still sense an aura present. It's faint, but still noticable.

"Hello? Sensei?" Leo called, as he entered the Lair.

"April?" Donnie called, following Leo.

"伯父さん (Oji-san/Uncle)! Can you hear me?" I called, as I entered.

"Spike?" Raph cried, as he entered.

Spike appeared from behind a cushion on the couch. Raph sighed in relief, and put Spike on his shoulder, "Don't scare me like that, buddy."

I closed my eyes, and started concentrating on the aura-trails from within the Lair. I narrowed my thoughts to the most recent. Something flared and made me open my eyes and narrow them with caution.

"Keep your guard up, guys. I sense something off." I warned the boys.

Mikey walked off, into the Dojo. As he entered, he called, "Anyone in here?"

My scales tensed, as I felt a change in the atmosphere. I dashed into the Dojo, drew out one of my eskrima sticks, and blocked an attack from Mikey's attacker. Mikey looked back and saw what happened.

"Whoa, dude!" He shouted.

I looked at the attacker's face and saw it was Kirby. He hardened his stare, as I pushed him away. Kirby turned his attention to me, and tried to attack me with a bamboo stick.

Leo, Raph and Donnie heard Mikey's shouted, arrived into the Dojo, and saw what was going on.

"Hey!" Leo shouted, as he, Raph and Donnie surprised Kirby and pinned him to the ground.

"What the heck is going on?" Raph asked.

"Guys, check this out." Donnie alerted us. He lowered Kirby's collor, and we saw a strange device on the back of Kirby's neck.

Being the one with a swift and delicate touch, I grabbed the device and pulled it off Kirby's neck. Kirby's aura returned to normal, and he blacked out.

The boys and I carried Kirby to the Lounge, so he could recover, and I gave Donnie the device. So, he could see what it was.

"So, what is it?" Leo asked.

"I think, it's a mind control device." Donnie answered.

Raph took the device from Donnie, "Really?" He grabbed Mikey and tried to put the device on the back of his neck.

Mikey struggled against Raph's grip, "No, stop it, stop it!"

Raph chuckled. But, Leo scolded, "Raph."

Then, the boys and I heard groaning. We looked over and saw Kirby was waking up. We walked over to check on him.

"Mr. O'Neil? Are you okay?" Donnie asked.

"I've done something terrible." Kirby answered with an apologetic face.

"It's alright. It wasn't your fault." I assured, placing my hand over his shoulder, "Can you tell us what happened?"

"It appears the Kraang have formed an alliance with your enemy, Shredder." Kirby explained, then added, "That's not all. I fear the Shredder has handed April over to the Kraang."

"Shredder kidnapped April?" Donnie exclaimed.

"Sensei must have gone after her." Raph summarized.

"Where is April now?" I asked.

"They're taking her to the Technodrome." Kirby answered.

"The what?" Raph asked.

We heard noises coming from the tv. Mikey turned on the tv, and the news channel was on. Apart from Joan Grody, a male, Afro-Brazilian reporter was on the scene.

"Carlos Chang O'Brien Gambe here. Pandemonium in the streets, as a 'techno-terror-dome' hovers over downtown." The reporter informed, as the citizens ran past him.

"Dudes, this is getting freakier by the minute." Mikey tols us, as he pointed to the tv.

"We just escaped that freaky sphere." Raph pointed out, then he asked, "And now we gotta break into it?"

"In a matter of hours the world we once knew will be gone. The Kraang want April to help in their conquest of Earth." Kirby informed us.

"Then, we have no time to lose!" Donnie shouted.

Leo nodded, "Let's save the world from the Technodrome."

With that, the boys and I dashed out of the Lair, and made our way to the streets of New York. I couldn't help but think about the aura I sensed within the Technodrome. It was large, full of authority. Like a queen bee feel.

"What's wrong, Ellie? You've been awfully quiet as of late." Donnie asked me, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I assured him with a smile, "I'm fine, Donnie. I was just thinking."

"What about?" Raph asked.

"I sensed a Kraang-like aura, coming from inside the Technodrome. It felt like a queen bee. I think it's the Kraang leader." I answered.

The boys and I arrived to the surface, and the entire city was in utter chaos. The Technodome was spawning pods, and were picking up the citizens one-by-one.

The boys and I were able to hide from plain sight, and made our way to an available pod, that was hovering above a group of three over-turned cars, and eight Kraangdroids. I had to keep my head low, because two of the cars were ablaze.

"We gotta get in one of those pods." Leo told us.

"But how?" Donnie asked, then pointed out, "There are eight Kraangdroids between us and there."

"We could create a diversion." I suggested.

"Excuse me, how many did you say there were?" Raph asked.

"Eight." Leo answered.

"We could all dress up like robots. Sneak in." Mikey suggested.

Leo, Donnie and I looked at him with a slight confused expression.

"Or I could try to override their security codes by-" Donnie spoke up, then he was cut off by the sound of fighting.

Leo, Mikey and Donnie looked and saw that Raph had already taken down the Kraangdroids and the pod was free for the taking.

"Or... that... might... work." Leo spoke up.

"Raph took out the Kraangdroids, didn't he?" I asked.

"Yup." Donnie answered in a simple tone. Then he used his left hand to cover my eyes, and grabbed my left hand with his right hand, "Keep hold of my hand, Elle."

I nodded in understanding and kept hold of Donnie's hand.

"Let's go." Leo told us.

Mikey, Donnie and I followed Leo into the pod. The pod automaticly closed and took us into the Technodrome. Donnie removed his hand from my eyes, so I could see the inside of the Technodrome. It looked similar to the other Kraang facilities. The other pods were being taken to other corridors of the Kraang ship.

"Okay, guys, this is it. On three." Leo told us, as we prepared to exit the pod, "One, two, three."

Raph forced the pod open, and the boys and I jumped out. Instead of landing on the ground, we were floating in mid-air. This caught us by surprise and we had trouble trying to keep ourselves balanced.

"What the heck's going on?" Raph asked.

"I think the Kraang forgot to pay their gravity bill!" Mikey answered.

One of the pod-selectors picked up Mikey and sucked him into the hall. Before we could react, Mikey appeared out of another hall, behind us.

"It appears the Kraang have generated anti-gravitons." Donnie explained.

"Is there any way for you to generate anti-anti-gravitons?" Leo asked.

"You mean gravitons?" Donnie and I asked in unison.

"Yes." Leo answered.

"No." Donnie and I replied again.

Mikey held his stomach, "Guys, I'm gonna throw up. Or down. Or maybe sideways. But one thing's for sure. I'm majorly gonna throw."

Another pod floated toward us and caught Mikey with it.

"We still have a job to do, so let's go." Leo told us.

The rest of us grabbed on to the pod, and we rode it down the hallway, hiding from any Kraang that might be patrolling. Another pod-selector grabbed our pod, and dragged into the selected hallway. The boys and I let go of the pod, and hid from the patroling Kraang.

"Yo, zero-g is banging. The Kraang should turn this into a carnival ride." Mikey whispered with a smile, and floating up-side down.

"Uh, I think they're more interested in using it to destroy the Earth." Leo reminded Mikey.

"It could do both." Mikey suggested.

I shook my head and smiled, "Okay. Someone's been floating up-side down for too long."

I helped Mikey turn right-side up, then we heard a familiar scream, coming from somewhere near us. I had to hold my head for a second. An aura just flared up, giving me a migraine.

"It's April!" Donnie shouted.

"Can you say that a little louder? I don't think the entire Technodrome heard you." Raph asked in a sarcastic tone, as cameras saw us, and a group of Kraang showed up. Raph looked and sighed, "Never mind. They did."

We drew out our weapons and locked into battle. Fighting the Kraang in zero-gravity was proven to be a bit tricky, but we were able to get it to work on our side. As we took out the Kraang, I sensed another flare. But, this time it was being controlled by an outside source.

"Guys, I'm sensing a large flare in April's aura." I told the boys, as an low-sounding alarm sounded.

"That can't be good." Leo noted.

And we decided to pick up the pace. With a little teamwork, the boys and I were able to take out the Kraang at a faster time, and with ease. Once the Kraang were taken out, we heard April scream again, along with an evil laugh.

Raph removed a panel, and we entered through it. The boys and I followed the vent, and it lead to a large room, with April strapped to a table, with a helmet on her head. And a 25 foot big Kraang with three gems on its forehead, in a V-formation. The Kraang was the source of the queen bee aura. It must be the leader. The room was energizing with psychic, Kraang-like energy. And it was coming from April.

"Witness the end of your kind." The Kraang smiled to April, in a female voice.

"Not if we can help it." Leo spoke up, catching the Kraang's attention.

The Kraang saw us and gasped, "The Turtles and the Lizard?" Then she snarled, "Kraang will not be stopped by pathetic Mutants."

"At least we're not stupid aliens." Mikey retorted.

Leo looked at Raph, "Raph, quick."

Raph dived toward the Kraang, and kicked her in the face. Good thing there was no zero-gravity in the room. Which meant Raph was able to put his weight into the kick.

Raph landed, the looked at me, "Ellie!"

I nodded, and looked at the Kraang. I jumped into the air, to meet the Kraang's eyes, "Let's try this again. But more up-close and personal!" I released powerful waves of psionic energy at the Kraang.

She started screaming in pain upon impact. As I continued to attack, Donnie was able to release April from the table and the helmet. Kraang-Prime, we should call her, blacked out from my attack. I withdrew the attack and smiled.

Suddenly, I started to feel drained and light-headed. Darkness began to cloud my vision, as I couldn't feel my body anymore. I closed my eyes and blacked out.

Leonardo's POV.

Donnie had just freed April from the Kraang's clutches. The Kraang blacked out from Ellie's attack, and Ellie looked like she was about to black out as well. She closed her eyes, and she fell. Oh no...

I dashed over and caught Ellie, in bridal style, before she hit the floor. Her body felt warm, and I could hear her heart still beating. She was still alive. Thank goodness. She's never allowed to do that again.

April regained consciousness, and smiled at Donnie, "You're my hero."

Donnie blushed and chuckled at April.

However, the moment was broken as Raph spoke up, "Hey, chuckles. We gotta get out of here."

I nodded in agreement, and placed Ellie on to my shell, "Let's go."

April hopped on to Donnie's shell, and made our escape out of the Technodrome. However, the escape was not gonna be easy. The other Kraang were aware of our presence, and began attacking us. Raph and Mikey had to take out the interdimensional aliens, as Donnie and I were carrying two, unconscious girls on our shells.

We entered a hallway, that seemed the only way out was up. Inside were more Kraang and Kraangdroids. Mikey and Raph were able to make easy work taking them out. Raph kicked a Kraang down to the ground floor, and its cruiser exploded. The explosion caused the Technodrome to tip over, and the way up became the way ahead.

"Leo, I have a question." Mikey shouted over to me, as we dodged a Kraangdroid laser-fire.

"Can it wait?" I asked.

"Not really." He answered, then he asked, "Did we beat that big Kraang thingie?"

"Yes, Mikey. We did." I answered.

"Okay. Then why is it following us?" Mikey shouted.

My brothers and I stopped and turned to look behind us. To our surprise, Mikey was right. The big Kraang, we encountered, was making her way toward us in a large robot. The Kraang wasn't done with us yet.

Raph tried shaking Ellie awake, "Ellie? Now would be a good time to go all 'Mother Nature'."

Now was not a good time to wait for Ellie to respond. The Kraang was heading toward us. We had to run. The further we ran, the closer the Kraang got to us. Once it was close enough, the Kraang started firing lasers at us.

I didn't notice that Ellie opened her eyes, but I felt a large gust of wind blow toward us, from the exit. But it didn't harm myself or my brothers. But it did cause the Kraang to fall back a few feet.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Ellie did have her eyes open, and they were just like last time this happened; Glowing cyan irises with black sclera. The markings returned as well.

"Everybody, there's one last escape pod up ahead." Donnie alerted us.

We made our way to the escape pod. Ellie raised her hand to the Kraang, and the Kraang was forcefully pushed back. Then she fell unconscious again. This time, Mikey was accidently caught in the cross-fire and fell into one of the gaps. I turned and noticed the Kraang was going to finish Mikey off with laser blast.

I got Ellie off my shell, and gave her to Raph, "Raph, take Ellie." I drew my katana and dashed toward just above the laser-blaster of the robot, "Get away from my brother!"

I cut the mechanism from the robot, and it fell into the gap, missing Mikey. I looked into the gap and reached my hand out to my youngest brother, "Hurry, Mikey."

Mikey gave me his kusarigama, and I pulled up. However, the Kraang wasn't gonna give up that easily. She looked up to us, "There's nowhere for you to run, Mutants."

Mikey, Ellie, Raph, April and Donnie made their way into the escape pod. I stayed out and glared at the Kraang.

I could hear Ellie regain consciousness, "Leo?" Then she noticed me outside of the pod, and called, "Leo!"

"All of you will die here!" The Kraang told my family.

I stared at the Kraang. There was no way all of us will be able to escape the Technodrome. One of us has to stay behind and hold the Kraang back, so the rest of us can get out alive.

I could hear Master Splinter's speak in my mind, "With the world at stake, The only thing of importance is that you complete your mission. No matter what you have to sacrifice. Or who."

My decision was clear. I knew what I had to do.

Eleanor's POV.

Leo used Mikey's kusarigama to hold Kraang-Prime back. What was going on in his mind? It's like he's trying to... Oh no. My heart hit my stomach at the thought. No! Not again!

"Leo!" I cried.

"Go. Get out of here now!" Leo shouted, as he held Kraang-Prime back.

"What are you talking about?" Raph asked.

"Leo, you can't do this. Not you too!" I shouted.

"Go!" Leo insisted. Kraang-Prime continued to fight back against the chain. "I can't hold it back any longer." Leo shouted.

"Leo!" I shouted, about to jump out of the pod, but Raph held me back.

"We gotta go now!" Donnie said, as the pod closed and it floated toward the exit.

The kusarigama chain snapped and Kraang-Prime fell toward us. Luckily we were to far to make a collision. I fought out of Raph's grip and stared out of the glass with an aching heart, "Leonardo!"

The escape pod flew out of the Technodrome and into the water of the ocean. We sank only a few feet deep, until the pod floated to the surface.

The pod opened and Donnie gasped in astonishment, "I can't believe it. We made it."

Our celebration was cut short, as we saw the Technodrome fall into the water and began to sink.

"Leo. No!" Mikey cried, as the drome sank to the bottom of the sea floor. "I can't believe he's gone." Mikey gasped in a sad tone.

April dug her head into Donnie's chest, fighting tears.

"Leo." I sighed. My heart felt like it was being squeezed like a juice out of an orange. I should've told him there and then how I felt about him. Now, he's gone. I tried to fight back the tears, but they fell anyway.

Raph sat down with a small sulk, "I gave him nothing but a hard time. If I had it to do over again, I'd definitely be nicer."

"Really?" A familiar voice asked.

"Really." Raph answered.

Then, my tears stopped as I recognized the voice, and sensed the aura with it, "Leo?" I looked over past Raph and saw a blue-masked turtle swimming toward the pod. I smiled, "Leo!"

The boys and April looked and saw Leo as well. Leo smiled and chuckled at Raph.

"Leo, you dork. You scared the heck out of us." Raph shouted, as he and Donnie helped Leo out of the water.

Leo climbed into the pod, and we all got into a big group hug, and we all cheered, "We won!" "Oh, man, I love you, bros."

The other pods of the Technodrome rose out of the water. Everyone that was inside was unharmed and cheered in relief.

I still can't believe what we did today. We all saved the world from a Kraang invasion, and no one knew it was us. Look at me, I'm shaking like a leaf.

*Later, that night. Back in the Lair...*

"Who saved the world?" Mikey asked.

"We saved the world!" Raph, Leo, Donnie and I answered.

"I said 'who saved the world'?" Mikey asked again.

"We saved the world!" We answered again.

"I said-" Mikey was about to ask again.

Raph cut him off, "Stop asking!"

"We saved the world." Mikey answered, twiddling his fingers.

Raph threw the pizza bax at his face. Then the boys celebrated with eating pizza. I felt some sadness wash over my joy. I looked and saw Uncle Splinter walking toward the Dojo. He had his head hung low. I walked followed him and found him in the Dojo, staring at his family portrait.

"伯父さん (Oji-san/Uncle)? Is everything alright?" I asked my uncle.

"Everything is fine, Eleanor." He answered. His aura turned dark.

I shook my head, "Don't lie to me. I know when you-" I reached for his hand, to comfort him.

But, the moment my fingers touched his, I saw Uncle Splinter fighting Shredder inside the Cathedral. Then Karai stepped in. Splinter couldn't fight her, so he fled. The look on his face. Realization and an aching pain. He knows.

I withdrew my hand and gasped, "You found out Karai is Miwa, didn't you?"

Uncle Splinter turned to me, "You knew?" I sheepishly nodded my head. "Why did you not tell me?" He asked.

"I-I didn't know, until the Kraang Stealth Ship incident. I wanted to, I felt like it would've broken your heart, if I told you sooner." I explained myself. I took hold of Uncle Splinter's hands, "I'm so sorry, 伯父さん."

Uncle Splinter smiled at me and pulled me into a hug. He has forgiven me, and understood why I didn't say anything. I was protecting my family from heart-break.

April entered the Dojo and looked at Uncle Splinter, "Sensei, I want to apologize, for the way I spoke to you earlier."

Splinter released the hug, and looked at April, "No need. You spoke what was in your heart. I am just relieved that you made it home safely."

The Leo entered the Dojo, "What's wrong, Sensei?"

"I learned some things from the Shredder." Splinter answered in a sad tone. I gave him a look of sympathy, but I kept quiet.

"Like what?" Leo asked.

Splinter shook his head, "That's for another time, Leonardo." Then he smiled, "Tonight is for celebration. After all, it is not everyday you make the world safe from an alien invasion."

The others entered the Dojo as well. Mikey put his arm over Leo's shoulder and smiled, "You got that right." Then he looked at his brothers, "Everybody, who saved the world?"

"Mikey." His brothers and I sighed.

Mikey sighed, then we all cheered, "We saved the world!"

Mikey smiled, "Yeah!"

Then, our dance party started. Everyone was dancing. Donnie danced with April. Then Leo with Raph. And I danced with Mikey. Then, we reached the solo dances. April was the first. Donnie could help but stare.

Hehehe. That love-struck turtle. It's adorable.

Then it was Raph's turn. He did some breakdancing, that was pretty slick. Then it was Mikey's turn. With a smoke bomb, he started doing his version of the Robot. Donnie and Metalhead joined him. Then it was my turn. I was a little unsure, until Leo pulled me into the center of the stage.

I started dancing, the same way I used to perform on the streets, and I could hear clapping. But, I didn't noticed Leo and Raph staring at me. Then, Leo snapped out of his trance and it was his turn.

As Leo was dancing, a wave of concern came over me. We just saved the world from Kraang-Prime. But, that doesn't mean the Kraang will admit defeat and return to Dimension X. Also, Karai knows who Uncle Splinter is in Shredder's eyes. Now the vendetta has become more than just personal.

I just hope the boys and I are ready for the new challenges that await us from above and below...
