Chapter Thirty-Six
Outside in the Battle Shell, April and Bends watched the screens intently.
The dots that represented the turtles, Monalisa and the Sharks were moving along slowly.
"Alarms disabled." April whispered, "Cameras operated, clear in Hallways six, eight and ten on the third floor."
"Thank you, April!" she heard Donatello's voice from inside her earphones.
Bends as well looked at the screens then spoke to Ripster.
"Rip." He spoke softly "First floor hallways are clear, I've diverted the attention of the guards to the basement where you came in, that should give you time to get ahead."
"Thanks Bends!"
Meanwhile, Pandora was fidgeting slightly, since her parents, uncles and the Sharks had entered the building, she hadn't been able to relax.
Kemeko nudged her cousin.
"Sit still!" she scolded.
"I can't!" Pandora hissed "I'm too worried for mum and dad!"
"They'll be alright!" Kemeko replied.
"How can you be so calm?" Pandora argued "Surely you're just as worried as me about Uncle Leo!"
"Of course, I am!" Kemeko snapped "I always worry about daddy! But I trust him!"
"Girls!" Splinter spoke up but Pandora quipped back at Kemeko.
"I got a bad feeling!"
"Its natural to be scared Little Geisha!" Casey tried to intervene.
"But I got a bad feeling about this!" Pandora replied "Honest! I can't help but think something bad is gonna happen!"
"Oh relax will you!" Kemeko replied "I'm sure everything will be alright!"
April sighed then turned around.
"Will you be quiet back there?" she hissed "Bends and I are trying to focus!"
Casey looked guilty.
"Sorry hun." He grovelled.
Splinter didn't say anything but frowned as he looked at Pandora.
"You have a bad feeling?" he asked.
Pandora nodded.
"Yes grandpa!" she replied, "I can't help but feel like…."
She didn't finish her sentence before something hit the roof of the Battle Shell making them all cry out in fear.
"What the fuck!?" Casey cried grabbed his hockey stick.
April and Bends stopped what they were doing and looked up and Splinter quickly grabbed Pandora and Kemeko.
"Had to say something didn't I?" Pandora muttered as she looked up at the roof.
At the same time, the back of the doors was ripped open, and they were confronted by Komodo Dragon and Black Mamba!
"Surprise!" he growled.
"Trick or Treat!" Black Mamba hissed.
Kemeko screamed in terror and Pandora gasped yet she glowered in defiance.
Splinter quickly pushed the two girls behind him and got into a fighting stance.
"How did they find us!?" Bends shouted.
"They must have spotted us!" April replied as she held up her hands and stood next to Casey who gripped his hockey stick tightly and glared.
Komodo Dragon hissed baring his long yellow teeth.
"No need to get ugly!" he said, "If you come along quietly, we won't hurt you…much!" he smirked.
Splinter glared.
"You stay back you abomination!" he clawed his fingers.
"Stay behind us girls!" Casey ordered.
Pandora pulled Kemeko close to protect her.
"You can't escape!" Komodo Dragon snarled "We got you surrounded!"
Black Mamba smirked as she looked at Pandora and Kemeko.
"Well, well, well!" she hissed "I finally get to see the two little princesses up close! All grown up!"
Pandora stuck her middle finger up at Black Mamba, but the ebony snake only laughed.
"Got attitude, haven't you? Just like your dear ole' dad!"
She then looked at Kemeko.
"And aren't you a pretty little thing? You know, we've been waiting a long time to meet you! Especially the Mas…"
She was elbowed in the chest by Komodo Dragon.
"Shut up!" he spat.
Kemeko's eyes narrowed as she looked at the Black Mamba who looked winded and wondered what she was about to say but she didn't get a chance as she heard her Grandfather's command.
"ATTACK!"
The old rat then leapt at Komodo Dragon as he was distracted, and the three humans followed suite.
Splinter went for Komodo Dragon and Bends along with Casey who handed him a golf club started to attack Black Mamba.
"Get out of here!" April screamed as she leapt into the battle to help her husband and Bends.
"What!?" Kemeko and Pandora shouted.
"I mean it!" April bellowed "Run away! Get out of here!"
"NO!" Pandora shouted, "We won't leave you!"
As she said that, the Hybrid jumped up and pulled out Mr Swinger.
"Pandora! No!" Kemeko cried "Don't!"
But Pandora, not wanting to let the adults fight alone, as well as protect her cousin and honoured sister, just like when she tried to fight the evil golden dragon Vulstrun back in Mutopia those months back to protect her friends and cousins, swung her weapon around herself.
"Get away from them, you ugly freaks!" she screamed as she threw the metal ball at Komodo Dragon but the giant lizard ducked avoiding the weapon and it swung back towards Pandora who looked shocked.
"You think you can take us on you little brat?" he mocked.
As he spoke, the roof of the Battle Shell was torn open and Kemeko screamed again when she saw Nile Monitor appear along with Gila Monster.
Pandora looked up and cried out in alarm then Cobra leapt through the hole and licked her lips.
"Hello pretty girlies!" she smirked.
"Pandora! Kemeko! No!" Splinter cried in horror, yet as he was distracted, Komodo Dragon grabbed him around the chest and held him at arm's length.
At the same time, Black Mamba had ducked and managed to trip up Casey and Bends making them fall on their backs and knocking the wind out of them as well as kick April back into a wall.
Pandora's eyes widened as she looked at the Golden Cobra, the very spitting snake that haunted her dreams and thoughts of when she encountered her as a child that Christmas time returned to her.
Cobra licked her dripping fangs.
"I remember you!" she snarled "You made a fool out of me those years ago! Getting me shoved down a chimney! Then covered in paint, varnish, and other substances!"
Pandora glared then a smirk came to her face as she remembered.
"Oh yes! For one so stupid, you got a good memory! I was just a kid, but I outwitted all of you morons!" she gripped her chain of Mr Swinger.
"Well, it's a different story now! Little girl!" Cobra hissed.
As the Cobra and Pandora stared each other down, the Venomous Five glared.
"Shut the hell up Spitter!" Gila Monster snapped "Get the brats!"
"Stop your teasing, Cobra!" Black Mamba shouted, "And take her!"
Cobra hissed defiantly at Black Mamba, but she agreed and turned to Pandora, her mouth opening wide and stretching.
Pandora started to swing her weapon and glared at the Golden snake.
Kemeko moved backwards, she was terrified as she watched her cousin take on Cobra as well as see the frightened looks of her grandfather, Bends, Aunt April, and Uncle Casey held captive by Komodo Dragon, Nile Monitor and Black Mamba.
She wasn't sure what to do, being only eleven and never been out in the field to fight, she wasn't sure whether she could do anything to help, she didn't have her weapons since she hadn't been officially handed them yet.
All she could do was watch as Pandora tried to hold Cobra back until either they had a chance to run, or be captured, yet she hoped it was the former.
"Come on, you ugly skank!" Pandora barked at Cobra "Come and fight like a man!"
She swung Mr Swinger around threw it towards Cobra who dodged it a few times and swiped with her clawed hands.
"You were just a little squirt last time we faced each other!" Cobra spat, venom spraying from her mouth "You had luck on your side! But not now! This time you're faced with the real deal!"
"And that's supposed to fucking scare me?" Pandora shouted as she threw Mr Swinger towards Cobra yet the snake managed to grab the chain.
Pandora blinked in surprise, yet she didn't have time to react as Cobra pulled her towards her and grabbed her in a tight bear hug!
"PANDORA!" Kemeko screamed and Splinter, April, Casey, and Bends watched in terror.
"Oh yes!" Cobra drawled as she pulled Pandora close "You should be very, very afraid!"
Pandora grimaced in disgust as Cobra breathed on her and she smelt the disgusting scent.
"Uggh! You need a breath mint!" she growled defiantly.
"Still hard as nails, eh?" Cobra asked then stuck out her long-forked tongue "Well let's see if my venom will soften you up!"
Pandora tried to lean back as Cobra leant close to her.
"Get away from my granddaughter!" Splinter shouted yet he couldn't get free from Komodo Dragon's tight grip around him.
"Mmmm!" Cobra smirked "You smell so sweet! Let's see how you taste!"
Pandora glowered and she lifted her tail which had its blade attached.
"I don't think so!" she spat then she jabbed her tail over her shoulder and jabbed it into Cobra's shoulder!
As she did that, Cobra gave a shriek of pain and loosened her grip on the Hybrid and Pandora kicked her backwards then did a back flip landing next to Kemeko.
As that happened, Gila Monster jumped through the hole in the roof and faced the girls as well as looked at Cobra.
"You idiot!" he barked "If you can't get the job done, I will!"
Kemeko looked up at Pandora.
"Pandora…"
The Hybrid shook her head and grabbed Kemeko's hand staring down at the giant Gila Monster before her.
Gila Monster pulled Cobra to her feet and Pandora saw the wound she gave the snake start to heal.
"You think your tail can hurt me? Little Piggy?" Cobra hissed and she held up Pandora's meteor hammer.
"Hey!" Pandora cried "Mr Swinger! Give him back!"
She stepped towards Cobra, but Kemeko tried to pull her back.
Cobra smirked and started to spit more venom to which the girls jumped back to avoid the spray.
"Pandora! We must run!" Kemeko shouted.
'Listen to your cousin Pandora!" Splinter shouted and Bends, April and Casey shouted the same thing.
"Get out of here!"
"RUN!"
"Save yourselves!"
Kemeko pulled on Pandora's hand.
"Pandora please! Listen to them! We must run!" she begged.
'RUN!" the three humans and Splinter shouted again.
Pandora glared, she didn't want to run, like her father she didn't believe in running from a fight but seeing the situation and how herself and Kemeko were outnumbered by the Venomous Five and if there were surrounding Foot Ninja, she knew it was a losing battle she had no choice.
She looked to Kemeko and nodded.
"Run!" she mouthed and grasping each other's hands they fled the Battle Shell.
"After them!" Komodo Dragon shouted at Cobra and Gila Monster and at once the Black and Orange lizard and golden cobra ran after Kemeko and Pandora.
"Run Pandora! Run Kemeko!" April screamed as she struggled in Black Mamba's tight grip.
"Get out of here!" Casey shouted.
"Run! Run!" Bends shouted.
Splinter watched with tears in his eyes, praying to all the power in the universe that his granddaughters would escape.
Pandora and Kemeko ran as fast as they could through the alleyways trying to shake Cobra and Gila Monster off, yet the two venomous creatures chased them relentlessly.
"You can run, but you can't hide you little brats!" Cobra shouted.
Pandora glared and gripped Kemeko's hand as she ran faster practically dragging her cousin behind her.
"Remember what our master's said!" Gila Monster snarled at Cobra as they continued to run.
"I know, I know!" Cobra spat back and rounded the corner, yet as she did, she didn't see Pandora or Kemeko anywhere.
"What the…?" she flicked out her tongue trying to taste the air and Gila Monster did the same.
"Where are they? Where the fuck are they?!" Gila Monster barked.
Cobra also skulked around and flicked out her tongue.
"Where are you? You little Brats?"
The Lizard and snake looked around the alleyway, flicking out their tongues and tasting as well as sniffing the air, yet they couldn't find any trace of the girls.
"God Damn it!" Gila Monster snapped "Well done Cobra(!)"
"Not my fault dumbass!" Cobra spat.
"Cobra! Gila!"
A voice brought them to earth, and they looked to see Nile Monitor appear.
"Nile!" Gila Monster cried.
'Where are the girls?" Nile Monitor asked.
Gila Monster and Cobra glared at each other then looked at Nile Monitor.
"Oh, don't tell me!" Nile Monitor exclaimed "You lost them!?"
"Hey! Don't look at me!" Gila Monitor cried "Cobra let them get away!"
"No, I didn't!" Cobra shouted.
Nile Monitor glared.
"Shut up you two! We must get back to headquarters!"
"But the girls?" Gila Monster asked.
"We say nothing to the Masters!" Nile Monitor snapped "What can those little brats do?"
Giloa Monster and Cobra looked at each other then back at Nile Monitor.
"Hmmm, true that!" Gila Monster said.
"Then let's go!" Nile Monitor commanded as he turned to walk back to where Komodo Dragon and Black Mamba were waiting.
"And don't dawdle!"
"Alright! Alright! Mr Bossy!" Cobra hissed as she followed Nile Monitor.
Damn! April, Casey, Bends, Pandora, Kemeko and Splinter were pounced upon by the Venomous Five!
Splinter, April, Casey and Bends have been captured, yet after a breif battle, Pandora and Kemeko had escaped! Yet where are they hiding and what will be the outcome after this?
Well that's for me to know and you to find out!
