Raphael stumbled and fell onto the floor of their containment when the Kraang shoved him in after his brothers. The jolt when he connected with the ground jarred his head, and he grimaced.

The red-clad turtle shot to his feet and tried to lunge for the Kraang that had thrown them in their cell, only to have a second guard activate the forcefield that closed the cell. Raph ran into the pink wall at full force and sent another shock through his throbbing head.

He pounded his fists against the semitransparent barrier and watched as the robot soldiers tossed their trusty weapons aside like unwanted toys.

Donatello grabbed his shoulder and turned him away from the forcefield. At first, Raphael thought it was to keep him from focusing on the Kraang, but then Donnie tipped Raph's chin to bring his bleeding scalp under direct light.

What, so Donnie could see if Raph was okay, but Raphael couldn't ask the same? The hypocrite!

Raphael swatted Donatello's hand away. If Donnie wasn't going to say what had happened to him- why he had hurt himself with those stupid weapons- well, then he had no business in trying to help anyone else heal! Did the 'genius' really think he could save anyone else when he was hurt, as well?

Donnie backed up at Raph's dismissal, looking at him with eyes full of pity, and turned to Leo instead.

Raphael glanced at Leonardo's shoulder.

It was already discolored, bound to be an ugly mark by the time it stopped bruising.

What was Leo thinking, trying to take the blow for him? Now they were both hurt. As if the failed mission weren't already enough.

Raph hadn't stepped out of line, not once! He had made sure to be cautious the entire time. He'd followed Leo's every order, and even told himself to tone down the fighting style his brothers had more than once called overaggressive. It still wasn't enough. Despite his best efforts, he had been the one to slip up, the one to cost them their chance at getting into TCRI without being captured.

Now the Kraang were bound to succeed, and Leo was hurt. Not that Leo should have stepped in in the first place.

"Donnie, can you disable the forcefield?" Leo said once the majority of the Kraang guards had left. Two had remained stationed on either side of the cell.

"There's no control panel of any type," Donatello replied, searching the empty square room. "I suppose if I had access to the wires running to it…" He pulled at the grooves in the walls and floor where metal plates came together. After several minutes of testing each possible plate, he glanced around their cell a final time. "I don't have access to anything. I can't."

Leonardo stroked his chin and stared at the ground.

Donnie examined the forcefield closer. His face was inches from it when it flickered, and he jumped back as an unfriendly face appeared on its surface. "The forcefield is also a hologram," He murmured, looking at the image projected onto it.

Leonardo curled his fists and glared defiantly into the holographic screen. "Kraang Prime."

The image of Kraang Prime grinned, corners of her mouth stretching to reveal numerous horrible, daggerlike teeth. "Turtles." She laughed, an unpleasant, otherworldly sound. "So kind of you to show up and turn yourselves in for Kraang. Now Kraang can proceed with the plan without your annoying interruptions."

"You won't get away with this, Kraang!" Leo declared, jabbing a finger dramatically at the screen.

Raphael rolled his eyes. The dork spent way too much time watching Space Heroes.

Kraang Prime raised an eye ridge. "Kraang was almost skeptical when Kraang told Kraang that the turtles had been captured so early. Kraang had to come see, and how delightful."

"The background!" Donnie said. "Look at the background of the image. I know that place. She must be at the top level of the building."

Kraang's nasty grin grew. "Of course. Kraang would not turn down the opportunity to have a front-row seat to the fun. Kraang has such a great view from up here."

"We're going to stop you," Leo said.

"Oh, are you? Well, it seems you're doing well. You're just in time to witness one of Kraang's favorite parts." Kraang sat taller. "Kraang, begin that which is known as the final phase in Kraang's plan. Capture the humans."

At the command, Kraangdroids poured out of halls and doors beyond the containment, going to their assigned task.

With a sneer at the turtles, the image of Kraang Prime disappeared.

Sorry for such a short chapter! I had to split this one into two parts for the sake of time.

Next chapter on Wednesday. Have a great day, y'all!
