Chapter 55 Separating

As Master Splinter fended off the kraang Leo, Mikey, Donnie and April made their escape from the lair and into the sewers. "Dear god I hope Splinter will be ok" Leo thought to himself as he grew extremely concern about leaving Splinter alone to fight the kraang. Sure he his brothers and April were able to get out but at the same time Leo believed he should have been there to fight alongside his Sensei/adoptive father. The turtles and April got further and further away from the lair until they came across two tunnels. "Ok we have to look for Raph and Casey on the surface on foot before we take on the kraang head on so let's go down this tunnel" said Leo as he pointed to the tunnel leading to the surface. "Leo we're better off going down this tunnel because it leads to the Turtle Mech which will help us not only in the search of Raph and Casey but we can fight the kraang at the same time" Donnie stated as he still wanted to bring out his invention. "Donnie we have to do what Splinter said and get out of here and I'm the leader of this team so what I say goes" Leo stated. "The only thing you're going to lead us to is disaster if we don't use the Turtle Mech!" Donnie angrily shouted at his oldest brother. As Leo and Donnie continue to scream and argue with each other another kraang portal opens up and more kraang bots come out and start shooting at the turtles and April. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Donnie screams as he got shot on the wrist by a laser gun. "Donnie's hurt!" Mikey cries as he and April ran to the injured turtle. "Mikey take April and Donnie and get somewhere safe. I'll keep the kraang busy go now!" Leo tells his youngest brother who did what he was told. "Come on we'll go back to my place. We'll be safe there and Donnie I'm going to take care of your injured wrist as soon as we get there" said April as she lead Donnie and Mikey back to her apartment.

As soon as April, Donnie and Mikey get to the surface it was utter chaos. Kraang portals were opening up everywhere and more and more kraang troops were coming. Citizens were either being captured or mutated into similar but monstrous versions of the kraang. April, Donnie and Mikey were freaking out about everything that was happening but knew that they had to get to April's apartment right away. "Yes we made it!" April exclaimed as she and her friends got to her apartment where April's dad Kirby was sitting in the living room freaking out. "Oh April thank god you're here. What is happening?" Kirby asked his daughter and the turtles. "The kraang are invading Earth!" April told her father which made him even more scare. As soon as they got to the apartment Mikey finally got a hold of his brother Raph and told him everything that happened. "Bro you and Casey have to come to April's apartment. That where we are right now!" Mikey told Raph over the phone. "We're on our way" replied Raph as he and Casey headed to April's apartment instead of the lair as they originally intended. "Why didn't I just listen to Leo when he said that we should escape" said Donnie as he regretted his argument with his brother. "It's not your fault Donnie. You only thought what was best" April assured him before she went to get some bandages to wrap up Donnie's injured wrist. A few minutes later Raph and Casey finally arrived at April's apartment. "Raph I thought I would never see you again!" Mikey cried as he hugged his second oldest brother. "Aww I missed you too little brother" replied Raph as he hugged his youngest brother back assuring him that he was ok. "Where's Leo?" Casey asked and Raph wondered the same thing. "Leo kept the kraang busy so we can make our escape because they have invaded the lair" answered Mikey. "How did the kraang find the lair?" Raph asked. "It's my fault" said April. Irma who I thought was my friend turned out to one of the kraang signaled his troops while we were running away from some foot bots that were chasing us. I brought her to the lair so we can hide until it was safe but I was deceived!"

Raph and Casey were shocked at what April just told them. "It's not your fault Red. You had no idea that Irma wasn't who she or in this case he was isn't that right everyone?" Casey said to the turtles who nodded in agreement. "Now the kraang are here what are we going to do?" asked April as she and her friends began planning their next move and hoping to find Leo and Splinter before it was too late.
