After I passed along my message, Shelldon took off in a hurry to relay my feelings. I felt nervous but it was a happy kind of nervous. I wish I was there to see his reaction in real time. I wonder if he would stim from excitement. The idea of him smiling while shaking his hands made me giggle. I decided to go for a nice walk and listen to some of the songs that Donnie suggested to me, to keep my high going. One of my favorite places to walk through was Central Park. It is either quiet during the winter or busy and loud in the summer. Though course, things pick up when there is fresh snow, kids would come out in droves.
Once I made it to the park, I noticed some well-coordinated teens wearing purple jackets. They honestly remind me of what Donnie told me after one of his missions. They seemed to be techies with their drones flying about. I did not seem too bothered until I heard a noise.

"STOP, LET ME GO!"

"YOU cost us the drone race remember?! Revenge is overdue!"

"Shelldon?!"

I rushed over and pushed past a blue lipped girl and her crew and saw Shelldon laid up in the snow, one of his propellers is fried. I picked him up gently as to make sure I do not damage him further.

"What is going on here?! Did you assholes do this?!"

"Pft-! So, what if we did, what business is it of yours, loser?! We are just getting what we deserve is all!"

"Y-yeah!"

The pink haired girl quickly shuts down the boy in the glasses, he was controlling his drone that keep swopping just above my head.

"Can you NOT?! You already knocked him down! What more do you want and who are you anyway?!"

""Since you asked, WE are the Purple Dragons! We run this city with our superior tech abilities! THIS piece of garbage was one of us, until he LOST the drone race and cost us a big prize!"

"T-these were the people I was talking about, Y/N."

"Yeah, I figured. Look anime protagonist, I am taking Shelldon and that is it. Don't you make this get ugly."

"Yeah, last time I checked, there is three of us and a bad ass deadly drone and just you and a busted ass drone."

"You think I am scarred of a bunch of tech nerds?"

A quick flash forces me to jump back, falling hard in the snow. I held on to Shelldon tightly during the fall whiling noticing a lot of the snow melted from where I was standing.

"Y-you ok, Shelldon?!"

"Y-yeah, I just need to rest…"

"What the hell was that?!"

""It's called a laser, dipshit. ATTACK!"

She gave a wicked smile while ordering the drone to destroy Shelldon and I, I had to get us to safety. I got up and ran as fast as I could, trying to serpentine so I can stay out of its targeting system. Every time I thought I shook it; it would pop up out of nowhere. I do not know how long I can keep this up. Shelldon picks up his head and tries to communicate.

"B-Buy m-m-more time."

"Why?! What are you doing?!"

"C-c-calling Donnie f-f-or help. I have a d-distress s-signal."

Before I could respond, they fired another shot at us. I felt an intense burn on my leg, I could not jump away fast enough. I could not help but yell out from my injury. My body was tiring out, if I don't think of something fast, Shelldon and I will flat line. I had an idea, but it was a bit risky.

"Do you trust me Shelldon?"

"Y-yes…"

"Good, this is a stupid plan, but it might work."

I tried gathering myself, using all the energy I had and charged to where the Dragons were. They instantly noticed us.

"S-she is coming right for us. What is her big idea?"

"I DON'T CARE, SHOOT HER!"

"B-but Kendra!"

"I SAID SHOOT, YOU IDIOT!"

That was my cue, I timed the shot just right to fall forward, causing the shot to miss and hit their controller instead. It was a huge gamble, but I am glad that it paid off. Too be honest, I rather be punched to death than slowly cooked. I could not get up again, I was too tired and the pain in my leg was searing from my sprinting. All I could hear was that girl yelling again, does she ever shut up? Shelldon gently shifted in my arms, trying to speak.

"Y/N, t-that was s-stupid and dangerous! Y-you could have died!"

"I know…but it worked right?" I painfully chuckled as the Dragons walked over. Kendra stepped on my wound, and I cried out from the pain. I had to hang on just bit longer, if only I knew how close Donnie was! Kendra kept stomping on my leg in anger and I just kept taking the hit, trying to protect Shelldon as best as I could.

"UGH! THANKS TO YOU, WE LOST A DRONE! ALL WE WANTED WAS PAYBACK! So, you know what? YOU WILL TAKE EVERYTHING WE GIVE YOU!"

"Kendra, this seems a bit m-much…"

"I don't give a shit! I WANT HER DEAD-"

A quick gleam of something sharp flew past her face, drops of blood fell on the snow. She paused to inspect her cheek; her fingers were lightly drenched in crimson. Everyone went silent and all that could hear was the sound of a propeller.

"Leave….NOW."

That voice, it was him.

"Leave or I will use ALL of my tech to finish your fucking tech club once and FOR ALL."

I never heard him so angry before. The Dragons soon ran off, cursing us off in the process. Donnie hovers over me and Shelldon and immediately changes his demeanor to worry and concern. He inspected my leg and the state of Shelldon, he pulls out some cream to help with my burn and wraps it fast. I winced in pain from not just the burn but how sore it feels from that girl stomping on it.

"Y/N, I am so sorry…I should have gotten here faster! I was too slow and now look at you! Shelldon, what did they do to you?!"

"T-there was a drone, they attacked us with it. T-they broke my propeller and Y/N tried to save m-me. She has a l-laser burn."

"Ok, Y/N, I need you to do me a big favor, I need you keep holding on to Shelldon while I carry you back to my home."

"B-but Donnie…what about your family-"

"I DON'T CARE! You are more important!"

He tries to pick me up as gentle as possible, carrying me like a sleeping child. It was so nice to have him close to me again. I was so tired, I could barely stay awake, and the pain is too much. Everything went dark.
