The crackle of electricity seemed to ring in her ears, and she opened her eyes to see a dome of electricity surrounding her and her brothers.
"…WHOA…" Mikey muttered.
"…You know, this isn't so bad…"
The electricity seemed to flux, and she winced.
"NOW it hurts!"
Don seemed surprised.
"How in the world-? That's not possible!"
"It is…Now, if none of you mind…RUN OUT OF HERE!"
"But, Kitten-!"
"I can't hold this up forever, guys. So it would be nice if you WEREN'T here when I drop this ton of debris."
Hesitantly, her brothers moved safely out over the stable debris outside, and Cat, holding her hands up in order to hold up the strange electricity shield, slowed her breathing.
'Okay, just drop it and run…'
Dropping her arms, she bolted towards the nearest escape route.
All her brothers saw was the debris fall…
"KITTY!! KITTY, ARE YOU OKAY!?" Mikey called, running forward with Raph.
Some of the rubble moved, and a large chunk flew off, showing something had hit it…HARD…
Cat pulled herself out, arms shaking.
"Damn rocks and their tripping power…" She mumbled.
"KITTY!!"
Mikey tackled her in his joy, and she winced.
'My ankle…'
"Mikey, get offa 'er!"
Raph pulled him off, and seemed worried when she pulled her ankle up to her chest in pain.
"Kitten?"
"My ankle…I think I twisted it up pretty bad back there…"
Leo and Don were there soon, and Don touched her ankle.
"OW-OW-OW-OW!! Stop TOUCHING it!!" Cat wailed, recoiling.
"Okay, okay! Calm down!" Don soothed.
Wrapping up the now-swelling joint, Raph helped the white-banded turtle to her feet.
She limped across the street with her brothers, trying not to put any weight on her left leg.
Raph was mad at Leo, who got mad at him, and THIS led to a noisy fight.
"Guys, stop fighting!" Cat pleaded.
Something was coming up through the debris behind the two arguing turtles.
'…Aw, shell…'
"What's that?"
It was the strange frog-like robot again, and it kept firing at them.
Cat jumped back when it fired, and fell back when white-hot pain flashed up her leg.
"OW!! …GUYS!!"
Rolling back on her shell, she dodged a laser.
A bus turned the corner, and the robot blasted up the front of it.
It careened, and Cat was on one leg already.
People ran out, but she heard someone's voice inside.
'Oh my God! Someone's in there!'
She was in pretty fast, pulling poles and pipes out of her way, and found a young man trapped under a sheet of metal.
"Wh-What are you?"
"A figment of your imagination." She lied quickly.
"You hit your head pretty hard."
Pulling off the metal, she helped him up, both supporting each other as they got out of the bus.
She made sure he was safe, when Raph lifted her up bridal style, bringing her to the barricade they'd made of rubble.
"Guys, I'd like to go HOME…'Cause my ankle is starting to burn…"
"Wait, guys! I think I know how to stop the robot!" Don stated.
"I just need to get to those down power lines!"
"Forget it!"
Raph went to the slightly-beat up bus, buckling into the driver's seat.
"Raphie, don't!!" Cat called, but her ankle…it hurt so much
The robot saw it coming, and shot.
Cat saw oil coming out, or gasoline, and then the bus was tipped over, skidding.
"RAPH!!"
The bus stopped when the front hit a building, and Leo ran to help him.
The robot blasted the oil, setting it on fire, as the two were in there.
"Oh, no!"
Mikey held her back.
"You won't make it in time, sis! Not with that ankle!"
"B-But-!"
'Raphie…'
"GUYS!! GET OUT OF THERE!!"
The two were lucky to get out of there before the large vehicle exploded, and Cat tried to move closer.
Mikey herded the robot into a stream of water, and Don shocked it with the down telephone wires.
With a screech of pain, it fell over.
The Foot turned on Mikey at that moment, and Cat ignored the pain in her ankle in order to follow him and make sure he didn't get hurt.
Jumping onto a rooftop, she kicked a Foot ninja down into an alley.
"Stay away from my little brother, lame brains!"
She followed her brother.
"Hey, bro! Nice run, huh?"
"Isn't your ankle killing you?"
"Hey, you're in trouble!"
She winced only slightly.
"Can't sit back and let someone else beat you up, now can I?"
Mikey seemed to like throwing things back, but Cat would only throw shuriken when she was sure she couldn't be caught in a fist fight.
They jumped down into an alley, immediately hiding.
Hiding on clotheslines, Cat started nursing her injured ankle.
Once the Foot were out of sight, she dropped soundlessly to the floor.
'My ankle is KILLING me…'
She started limping again, worse than before, and Mikey's smile fell.
'Did I get her hurt more?'
They headed to April's new place, and Cat smacked her forehead when Mikey scared their poor friend to death.
"April, I need a hand…Or maybe a crutch…A crutch would be better…"
"What happened to you?!"
"Collapsing building."
"Yeah! We were being chased by Foot ninja-!"
"Whoa-Whoa! Are you telling me that you ran in here-My new, completely fixed up after it was blown up and burned to the ground by Foot ninja shop-Because you were being chased by Foot ninja!?"
Cat smiled sheepishly.
"Hey, I'm injured! I put my brainpower into not crying! Talk to Mikey!"
Mikey smacked his forehead.
"DOH!"
Casey seemed eager to come and help, so, with some 'persuasion', they took April's mode of transportation.
They drove back, and saw their other brothers being rained on by bullets and the occasional rockets.
"Get your shells in here!" She ordered when Mikey opened the door.
A rocket came at them, but the van moved out of the way in time.
Rockets kept coming, but Casey outmaneuvered them.
They soon drove and were hiding in an empty water tower.
Leo and Raph almost immediately started fighting, and Cat laid down on the hammock that was there and rubbed her badly swollen ankle.
"Has it gotten worse, Donnie?"
"It's probably a sprain now. You shouldn't have run on it."
"There are some things a sister needs to do, bro." Cat replied, patting Mikey's head.
As Raph was about to walk out, the floor blew up, and Cat was thrown out of the hammock.
"I'm too injured for this!" She whined.
She landed on her right foot, perfectly balanced, when she noticed the two strange Foot ninja before her.
A kunoichi landed before them, katana drawn.
"I believe we have a few matters to discuss. My name is Karai, and I have come to restore order to the Foot."
"So you're a Foot ninja? GREAT…" Cat griped, drawing her blades.
As always, Raph did the opposite of what Leo ordered, and Karai used a weight and chain to knock his sai out of his hands and knock him on his shell.
Karai was coming down on him, katana raised, but Cat was there in a moment with a protective snarl, blocking it.
It was a test of strength now, and Cat forced her opponent to roll back.
Her two body guards charged, and beat down Don, Mikey, and Casey.
Leo fought with Karai as Cat focused her mind and pushed away the pain.
'Come on! My brothers need me!'
Her fists crackled with electricity, and she jumped up.
A swift punch, and one flew into a wall.
With movements almost too fast to see, she beat up the other in a series of punches and kicks that soon sent him back.
"…Coolest sister EVER…"
"…I agree with you on that one, Mikey…" Don agreed.
Leo seemed to have done rather well against Karai, when she kicked him back and held him under her foot, a katana in hand.
"Why you…" Cat seethed, nearly baring her teeth in a savage snarl.
"I came here to discuss a matter with you, and discuss it I shall, with or WITHOUT your leader. It is your choice."
'You are SO going down…'
