Back early again!

This is a short chapter, and I include it only because the importance of it is necessary for the story. It also happens to be a different place, and I couldn't go to both in one chapter.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

New York City. November 27, 2200 AD. 6:33 AM.

The world was about ten times brighter when they arrived. Don slid to the ground and squeezed his eyes shut, tired and not wanting to move, no matter how interesting the scenery was.

Back in Callis' mansion, he'd used the same coordinates that had been entered to bring them here, though the Ardors had originally meant it to alert the rest of the rest of their species to their position.

Groaning, Raph crumpled to the ground. "Sure as hell glad that we're outta there." He said. "But Don, why the heck did you bring us here?"

Mikey blinked at the world around them. The buildings were extremely high-tech, not too mention shiny. People were all around, going about their business happily; some cars drove on the streets, others hovered in the air. "What year is this?" he asked.

Forcing himself to remain awake, the purple-clad turtle looked at them. "Twenty-two hundred." He told them. "I figured out in the last second that, maybe, we could reverse this."

Hand gently clutching at his wounded shoulder, Leo watched him, seeing what he was getting at. "Callis said they invaded Earth the year after this… What's your plan, Donny?"

Sighing, he held up the small device that he'd brought with him. "I was able to figure out what they did wrong. Originally, Callis was trying to send a message back to his home world for help, but he made a mistake. Instead of sending coordinates in a message, he created a means of teleportation at those coordinates. The code he was using to send them was the year we live in, so the device sent the vessel, that little lightning bolt thing we saw, to our time."

Don paused to begin work on the device. "I downloaded that program into this computer, and I think I can fix it. I'm planning on sending a message to the Ardors, and tell them that the planet is uninhabitable and has no good source of nourishment. I'll also tell them to cut off communications with the squad they sent, saying they have some sort of virus."

Nodding, Mike got the point. "Only a few Ardors won't be able to do anywhere near that much damage. And everyone else will be able to stop them."

Leo walked over to his brother and followed suit, leaning up against the building. "Maybe we can stop all this from ever happening."

Simultaneously, his three brothers nodded and Don got to work.

Leo tried to take deep breaths as they waited. There wasn't much he, Raph, or Mikey could do to help Don, so all that was left to them was to wait, hoping this would be successful.

He could see how much pain they were all in- more so, in fact, than when they'd been in that dark mansion. It didn't make him feel any better, of course. He couldn't help but wish again that they'd gone straight back to the lair.

"All right." Don said. "It's done." Pushing a button, there was a flash of light.

Mikey crawled over to them. "Did it work?" He asked.

"Uh-huh." Donny nodded. "It's sent."

Raph frowned. "So… what do we do now?"

No sooner had he said it than did they get their answer. Suddenly, all four were racked with an intense pain that made the edges of the world as Leo knew it darken. His wounds seemed to be burning, exploding all it once.

But just before he lost consciousness, his ears popped.

I told you it was short! But it was important, so please be happy! And please review!
