Calli's Pov...
I turned over on my side as I yawned awake after a peaceful night of sleep. I stretched my arms up as I sat up in bed, with the covers sliding down my body. I looked down to see my exposed baby bump and I smiled gently stroking it. I just remembered myself as it was flat as a board like it always was, but now it was a small bump, that was barely the size of a small watermelon. I was now four weeks into my pregnancy and the baby was growing bigger and bigger each day that passed. Even though I got occasional morning sickness, I rather enjoyed being pregnant. But what was most surprising to me, is that Leo was literally bending over backwards for me when it came to mine and the baby's needs. I was either couch or bed bounded. Leo would make all my meals and bring them to me, without me having to get up and make it myself. He would give me massages willingly to ease any pain I had in my lower shell or anywhere on my body to help me relax. But what I loved most of all that Leo would bond with our growing baby everyday. He would either talk to my bump, rest behind me while rubbing my plastron gently, or he would just rest his head on my bump just listening to its heartbeat and kiss it with affection.

I could tell Leo was already being a great father towards our child and how proud I was on how much he really was dedicated to this. Our baby was really going to be lucky to have him around as a dad and I couldn't wait to see how the relationship between the two of them grow into. As I looked over at the time it was 10 in the morning and I was having the lair to myself for the day because Splinter was taking the boys out in a part of the sewers to train. At least it would allow me to have some time to actually move around for a little while. I slid out of bed and I walked out of the bedroom to hear nothing but silence in the lair. I heard my stomach growling and I looked down rubbing my bump. "You hungry sweetie?", I asked, my baby

I felt the baby shifting around inside of me and I giggled. "Me too, lets get us something to eat", I said

I walked towards the kitchen and I went to open the fridge to see what would be good for breakfast this morning. "Mmmmm what sounds good? What are you in the mood for sugar?", I asked, rubbing my bump "Eggs?"

I felt the baby lay still and I knew it wasn't agreeing. "No, okay then", I said "How about waffles?"

The baby moved just a tiny bit, probably a maybe but not so sure. "Okay then, how about fruit salad?", I asked

As I said those words I felt the baby moving around quickly and I giggled rubbing my bump to calm it down. "Fruit salad it is then", I said, giggling

I took out an apple, a pineapple, a few strawberries, and a banana and I placed them on a cutting board on the countertop. I took a knife and began chopping up the fruit into bite size pieces while putting them into a bowl. After chopping up the fruit I placed the knife and cutting board in the sink and I poured myself a glass of orange juice and I sat down at the dinning table, eating silently. I took my prenatal vitamins along with my drink that I took daily to help with my baby's health and development. After eating a healthy breakfast, I felt the baby squirming around a little inside of me as I felt it settle down on my left side, thinking it was settling down for a nap. I giggled and gave my bump a few gentle pats as I got from the table.

I made my way back into the bedroom as I laid down on the bed. I took out my project that I have been working on since last week from my nightstand cubby. It was a scrapbook I was making on my pregnancy. I opened up my small art supplies box beside me as I began putting together my latest page, putting a few stickers along the colored paper. I took one photo that I had cut out of myself posing with my bump exposed cradling it with a chalk board on the wall, saying I was three weeks pregnant and how the baby was starting to move like a little ninja. Leo and I thought of this idea of doing a photo of each week of my passing pregnancy of how long I was and how the baby was doing. Just a cute way of remembering and keeping a memory close.

"Oh my goodness, that was only just a week ago when it feels like it was just yesterday", I said, to myself

I glued the photo towards the center of the page as I put a few accessories around the photo, making it look cute. I smiled as I began looking over the other pages that I have already completed. The first one was of my first ultrasound the day I found out I was pregnant and with Leo kissing my plastron hugging me around his waist as I looked down at him. The second and third ones were of my first and second week photos of my growing pregnancy and also two photos of Leo with me. One with him doing a heart with his hands on my growing bump and another one with him hugging me from behind with one hand on my bump as we both looked out towards a sunrise on our favorite rooftop.

I smiled happily as I looked at each photo as the memories filled my mind. As I closed the scrapbook and put it back in the cubby, I felt the baby shifting around inside of me again. "Hey you, you have a nice nap?", I asked, softly

The baby's response was pushing up against my plastron in different spots. I giggled as I followed its movements by gently pressing down where I felt my baby shift towards. It then started shifting once around as I then tried to find it where it would shift to next.

"Alright where are you hiding little fella?", I said, giggling

I gently pressed down on different spots on my plastron trying to figure out where my baby was hiding. I wasn't having any luck finding him or her thinking that it outsmarted me. I giggled as I got a little idea in my mind as I pretended that I gave up trying to find out where my baby was hiding. I laid my arms by my sides as I waited for my baby to move around again and at that moment I felt my baby moving on my right side and I gently pressed where I felt it move. "Found you, my little sneaky ninja", I said, giggling

I gently tickled where my baby was on my side and the baby quickly squirmed away as I giggled smiling. "Oh you just wait until you come out here little guy you are going to be getting a lot more of those from everyone", I said, smiling softly

I then gently rubbed my plastron as I felt my baby snuggling up against my hand. I smiled lovingly and I wrapped my arms around my bump carefully as I laid back on the pillows. "You have no idea on how happy I am that I get to be your mother little one. I always had dreams of having children of my own one day and now I felt my wish had come true. If your grandma and grandpa's were still here today oh how they would completely adore you and will want to be there every second to watch you grow into something amazing. I wanted to let you know you know I love you very much and your whole family loves you too. It will be a little strange of when you see what our family is going to look like, but don't worry you will warm up to it quickly and you are going to meet some amazing people. You have your three uncles, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo. I have a feeling they are going to spoil you rotten. Raph he is the tough and brave one of the three and I can tell he will be very protective over you, but you don't need to worry he has his soft side deep down inside of him which you are going to love about him the most. Now Donnie can teach you quite a few things, he is the smartest person I know in my life. He will teach you his inventing and smarts of all sorts of things that you might want to know, which I know he will be a great teacher for you. Then there is Mikey, oh you are going to have the funniest times with him, he can bring a smile to anyone's face anytime and I know for a fact when you do meet him you will always smile when you are around him. Your grandfather Splinter, he is a very wise and gentle one and he told me the other day that he feels like history was repeating itself now that you were going to be in the family now as he raised four little ones many years ago. He tells me that he can't wait to hold you in his arms and have that feeling again come back to him of a precious memory. Now there is your father Leo, oh you are going to be so happy when you get to meet him. He keeps telling me how beautiful you are going to be when we finally meet you and how you will accomplish great things. He loved you from the moment he found out we were going to have you and he loves you even more now. He will always be there for you whenever you need it the most and he will be your guide into becoming our next leader of our generation of ninjas. He and I both will be here for you as you have grown into our hearts and we will be the best parents we can be to make sure you get nothing but the best in everything that you do. It's because we love you and we will never stop loving you", I said, stroking my bump softly

I felt the baby moving around inside as if it was responding all that I was telling it of what it was about to face when it would enter the world. "You are going to love it here sweetheart, I can tell you really are", I said, softly

I heard my bump rumbling and I giggled. "Sounds like someone is hungry for lunch", I said "Okay sweetheart let mommy get you something to eat"

I rolled off of the bed and started walking out of the bedroom towards the kitchen. I made myself some leftover ham and pineapple pizza that we had from a few night ago and I heated it up in the microwave oven. But instead of leaving it plain like it is, I was craving something else along with it. I put some small strawberry slices on top, a few shakes of parmesan cheese, and a little bit of chocolate sauce. I swear that this would make people look at me like I was crazy, but I couldn't help it, it was just my strange cravings for certain foods due to my whole pregnancy. But in truth I thought it was kind of funny on how I was changing strangely in eating habits, and I was sort of kind liking it, I might as well be turning into Mikey.

I poured myself a glass of lemonade and took my afternoon set of prenatal vitamins and I sat down on the couch. I turned on the T.V and started eating lunch as I was watching my favorite movie "The Blind Side" and I was smiling watching the bonding between the mother and son of Leigh Anne and Michael. It made me think of how my relationship of what I will have with my son or daughter when my little one will reach that age. As I ate my last bite of pizza and drank my last sip of lemonade I heard my stomach grumbling. I giggled as the baby was satisfied with our meal and I turned off the T.V as the movie had just ended.

I rolled off the couch as I placed my glass and plate into the sink. I then made my way towards the dojo and shut the doors. I lit a few candles as I placed them all along the floor. I took my rolled up mat and spread it out on the floor as I laid down on my shell. I heard that doing meditation is a really good way for a mother to be to bond with their growing baby, and it's a good way to relax together. I rested my hands carefully on top of my bump as I began to clear my mind of everything. I soon felt my spirit drifting as I felt myself going into a relaxed state of mind.

As my eyes opened I looked around seeing I was in the Realm of Dreams. It was a beautiful forest landscape, similar like the one that was on my honeymoon in Japan with Leo a few weeks ago. I slowly stood up taking in the surroundings of tall beautiful oak trees that stood tall in the light blue sky. A slow moving river was rippling beside me and a few leaves had fallen from the tree tops and landed ever so gently in the water floating on top, then they began racing downstream to wherever it may lead them to. A slight breeze blew against my skin washing over me, making a harmonic melody song that whispered in the air. I smiled as I began my walk on a stone path trail that lead through the forest.

I cradled my baby bump in my hands, looking around, wanting my baby to get to know what its like outside of the sewers where we will be living and when he or she will finally get to experience what I have experienced as a young girl. I felt it moving around inside of me as it was trying to look and hear where we were, as if it was excited to be here. As I continued my walk through the forest with my baby, we were getting close towards a clearing where the sun shined down on a cliff side towards an ocean with the waves crashing at the rocks below. A slight breeze blew against my face, making my mask tails fly freely around my head. "Just like old times", I said, softly

I looked around silently at the remarkable scenery in front of me. But then something happened. Across the rippling ocean I could see lighting bolts striking down at the calm waters and I looked at it very confused of why that could be happening in such a spiritual refuge. More bolts of lighting came striking down as they got closer and closer towards me on the cliff side and I shrieked as I barely had time to jump back and land on my shell as one large bolt struck the cliff side where I was standing fall to the crashing ocean below. All of a sudden a huge thunder clap bursted through the sky as a lighting bolt started coming straight at me, I gasped as I ducked my head, but instead of going at me it struck the forest. Then there was the smell of smoke as a flame began to engulf a tree which soon quickly spread causing the whole landscape to burn under its rage of heat and destruction. "What is happening here?", I asked

"Welcome kunoichi", someone said

"This realm is reserved for the dreams of the invited", I said "Who are you?"

"Your dream is about to become a nightmare", someone said, again

Suddenly a black hole began forming in the sky and a huge wind began to blow against me as I blocked it with my arm. "Show yourself!", I yelled

Out of the blackhole then came more bolts of lighting as a long stretch of lava began spilling out towards the ground where I was laying. I backed up quickly to get out of its way as a huge yellowish and orange orbs began flying down the lava. As they landed on the ground, my eyes went wide as they grew bigger and then they flashed brightly and I used my arm to block the bright light. It turned out the orbs were actually someone just in some kind of different form. There was four figures in front of me, three of them were about a foot taller than me and were dressed in some kind of black clothing covering everywhere except their faces which were an olive green color with scales and red eyes with sharp fangs coming out from the corners of their mouth. But the biggest one of all was at least eight feet tall as he stepped in front of me laughing coldly. He looked like the smaller ones surrounding him, but looked much more horrifying. He looked like some kind of lizard with what appeared to me a sharp gold crown on his head in a suit of armor with a red cape around his neck. "Dio Mio!", I said, terrified

"Certainly fascinating, it's not very common of seeing a reptile like you as a ninja", he said, looking down at me

"What are you?", I asked

"I am the lord of master of the dragon empire, I'm the Dragon Lord", he said

I trembled in fear as I covered my baby bump with my arm as I scooted away. "What do you want?", I asked "Why are you here?"

"Simple kunoichi, I have been imprisoned for thousands of years and it's time that I sought my revenge on my enemies and to take back what's mine", he said "The world"

I gasped softly and then someone else came upon the scene. A small dragon barely the size of my fore leg, that was dark brown and light brown in color with sharp claws and teeth came climbing up the Dragon Lord's shoulder as he laughed evilly. "Majesty this here turtle looks like a tasty first meal, it's plump and fat!", he said

I growled angrily as the Dragon Lord chuckled. "You will have to excuse my obedient servant Wick", he said "But I do take the stated fact that you would make an excellent first meal, we haven't enjoyed solid meat in some fifteen thousand years"

"You are certainly not going to make a meal out of my child that's for sure!", I said, angrily, protecting my bump with my arm

"Oh how precious this turtle is expecting a little one, how lovely", he said "Well then we will just have to make the little one an appetizer and you as the main course!"

"Don't you dare come near me!", I said, growling lowly "You won't like the results if you do!"

"Well we shall see what your skills can do with no weapon and with that little one stopping you from trying", he said "Dragons bring me my dinner!"

The dragon minions then began coming straight after me roaring loudly and I shrieked as I tried to gather my thoughts to get out of my meditation. A bright flash came before my eyes just as the dragons were about to lunge out at me and I quickly jolted out of my meditation as I sat up, panting, looking around seeing I was back in the dojo. "Oh my goodness", I said, softly "What a nightmare"

I had no idea of what just happened or who the heck those guys were. It was like I was not in the Realm of Dreams anymore and I was somewhere else terrible. Luckily I came out of it just in time before that giant dragon could of harmed me and my baby. I regained my breath slowly and I blew out the candles surrounding me as I heard the sound of footsteps outside of the dojo. "Calli you in there?", Leo called out

"In here honey", I said, as I faced the doors

Leo opened the sliding dojo door and I smiled relieved seeing my husband come walking over. "Hey sweetheart", he said, smiling lovingly towards me

"Hey LeoBear", I said, smiling "How was training?"

"Pretty good, I won all the sparring matches", Leo said, smirking a little

I giggled. "Not a complete surprise since you are the leader and most of all teacher's pet", I said

Leo chuckled and he got down on the floor with me as we leaned in for a kiss. "How is the little guy doing?", he asked, rubbing my bump with his hands

"Oh it was great today, moving around a lot, we spent a lot of time together", I said "We ate a lot of yummy food, watched a movie, and did a little meditation together"

"Sounds like you both had a good day today", Leo said, smiling

"We did, we really did", I said "It was a good one"

Leo smiled and he leaned his head down towards my baby bump and started giving it gentle and loving kisses while rubbing the side of it. "Hey little guy, Daddy's home, Daddy kicked your uncles shells in practice today you should of seen it. They went flying across the air and landed in the river, though they did get me at the end by throwing me in as well, Daddy got all soaked. Silly Daddy yeah", he said, chuckling

I giggled watching being affectionate towards our growing little one as he continued giving pecks along my bump and gently tickled my lower plastron, which made the baby jump in surprise. But what happened while I was meditating returned to my mind and it wouldn't leave it be and I looked down at Leo a bit worried, thinking I should tell him what happened.

"Well something else did happen today Leo", I said

He looked up from my bump. "What do you mean Calli?", he asked

"When I was meditating just relaxing with the baby, it wasn't like the same as I have meditated before", I said

"What happened? What was different?", he asked, sitting up facing me

"It was so strange", I said "It's like nothing like it would ever happen ever. I was walking through a forest and then ended up a cliff side and everything was perfect, like it always is. But then it just started slowly turning into a nightmare. Lighting struck where I was standing, it caused it to full out from under me and it destroyed the whole scenery. Then out of nowhere coming from this black hole are these dragons that were huge, even bigger than you and they had sharp claws and teeth. The biggest one of them all was like a leader of a dragon clan called the Dragon Lord and had some kind of a sidekick named Wick and they said that they wanted to take back the world that they claimed was theirs thousands of years ago. But what was most scary of all, they tried to kill me and the baby. I woke up out of my meditation though before they could of done it"

"How is that even possible?", Leo asked, stunned

"I don't know", I said, shaking my head "But it seemed so real to me"

"Maybe it wasn't", he said

"What do you mean?", I asked

"Sometimes meditating in the Realm of Dreams isn't always peaceful, sometimes it can be on things that you think that could happen or it already has happened that just need to come out", he said

"You know maybe you are right", I said "It was probably just my imagination, guess it was just pregnancy hormones that are making my mind go nuts"

Leo chuckled and he kissed in between my eyes. "Don't worry about it Calli", he said "It's just natural for you to feel that way, as long as you and the baby are okay"

"Very true", I said, smiling "Glad that's over and done with it"

"Me too", Leo said, smiling "Anyways you hungry?"

"I am, all that crazy mediating has me hungry", I said

Sure enough right on cue my stomach began growling for attention and I giggled rubbing it. "I think our little guy is hungry too", I said

Leo chuckled and he gave my bump a gentle rub. "Well don't worry about that, Mikey is preparing us for a picnic tonight out in Central Park", he said

"Oh that sounds great, I could use a little fresh air", I said

"Great then, we are ready to go then", he said

"Alrighty let's do this", I said

We both got up from the dojo floor as we walked out, seeing the others by the manhole cover that lead out of our lair. "Hey guys", I said "I heard about what happened at training today"

"Oh yeah how Leo threw us in the sewer water and we got him at the end!", Raph said, laughing

"Oh haha very funny Raph, you all just caught me off guard, it wouldn't of happened if I wasn't", Leo said, a bit annoyed

"Sure you wouldn't", he said, still laughing

Leo grunted annoyed and I gave his hand a gentle squeeze reassuring him, that Raphael was only playing. He smiled towards me and I smiled in return. "Come on you guys, let's get going", I said

We started climbing out of the sewers on the ladder that lead out into the tunnel. Luckily Central Park was just right across from the tunnel entrance and we made our way over. Good thing that there wasn't anyone walking out and about in the park, as we made double sure of it with the boys scanning through the area to make sure it was safe for us all. We settled underneath the biggest oak tree in the park where Leo and I met again, after meeting each other in that alley way. Mikey had laid out on the blanket as I got down on my knees sitting down getting comfortable. "Master Splinter isn't joining us this evening?", I asked

"He said he would later on, he is out doing a meditation session off in the east", Leo said

"No need to wait any longer my son", someone said

I turned and saw Splinter walking up with his walking stick in is paw towards us. "Oh good evening master, it's good to see you would be joining us tonight", I said

He chuckled softly. "I could not pass up on an opportunity on a too nice of a night like this", he said "To spend some time with my children"

"Great!", I said, happily

"Hey Calls heads up!", Mikey called out

He threw me a can of Coca Cola which I nearly almost dropped, but luckily caught it in my hands. "Hey careful!", I said, laughing a little

I took my other evening prenatal vitamins along with my soda and I started grabbing everything that was being served for dinner. I grabbed three hot dogs, about four handful's of barbecue chips, two scoops of potato salad, a bread roll, and a slice of peach cobbler. I then started eating my feast as I leaned up comfortably against the tree trunk. I started hearing funny stories from Splinter of the boys when they were children as we had our laughs from old times as we ate our food. After finishing what looked like that would make anyone too full to eat anymore, I grabbed a second plate of the same content and began eating more. My family was looking at me with surprise seeing how much I was eating it so little amount of time, I was even eating more than what Mikey was and he had barely just touched his plate.

"Jeez Calli you think you can stuff yourself anymore?", Raph said, teasing me "You are eating like there is no tomorrow"

"Hey! For your information I'm eating for two now", I said, giving him a smirk

"If you keep stuffing yourself anymore Calls, you might just explode", Mikey said, teasing me as well

He earned a few laughs from everyone and Leo got a smirk on his face as he shook up Mikey's root beer can and handed it to him. "Good one bro!", he said, tossing him the can

"Thanks I amaze myself sometimes", Mikey said, as he caught the can

Leo nudged my shoulder as I snickered quietly as Mikey opened the can and it ended up spraying all over him. We started laughing even more as Mikey tried blocking the spraying liquid towards him, but it finally stopped as Mikey was completely soaked as he shook his head dry. "But not as good as mine!", Leo said, laughing

"Oh haha you think that's funny?", Mikey asked, wiping his face with his hand

"I think it's really funny!", Leo said, laughing more

"Yeah no offense little brother, but this one did take the cake", I said, giggling covering my mouth

"Great now I'm all sticky", Mikey said, sounding a bit annoyed

"There is an old ancient saying about the game of trickery my son", Splinter said "Victory is sweet once you have tasted defeat"

We all started laughing again even Mikey joining in on the laugh, but the laughter was quickly interrupted as Splinter quickly jolted his head to the side and he then slowly stood up. He started sniffing the air and his ears started twitching quickly as he looked around.

"What is it Master?", I asked

"My children, I sense we are not alone", Splinter said, looking back at us

"What do you mean?", Leo said, standing up "Is someone watching us?"

"You guys look!", I said, pointing

A strange looking fog started to appear in front of us and I heard a familiar evil laugh coming from it. I slowly stood up and gripped Leo's bicep as his arm wrapped around my shoulder in a protective hold. I saw the shadow of a huge figure coming out of the fog and my worst fears were soon realized as it was the same person that I met while meditating in the Realm of Dreams, the Dragon Lord along with many more of his dragon soldiers at his sides and Wick sitting along his right shoulder.

"Oh my god! It's real!", I said, quietly

Dragon Lord then blew hot burning fire from his mouth as we backed up and gasped in shock and disbelief. "A picnic in the park what a charming notion", Dragon Lord said "And it seems turtles are the special of the day"

"Um who invited Puff the magic dragon?!", Mikey asked, terrified

Dragon Lord looked over and saw me and he looked at me with an evil smile. "Oh how good to see you again kunoichi, we were just getting to the good part before you left", he said

"You used me to cross over into the material plane!", I said, angrily

"Correct kunoichi, we simply hitched a ride as you coward away before I could made of a meal out of you", he said "And it seems that you have brought to me more side dishes for me to taste"

I gasped softly and Leo stood boldly in front of me and the baby protectively. "State your business!", Leo said, angrily

"Simple, what would happen if I could have the same magic coursing through my cold blood that you have in yours, what might I transform into", he said

"You are crazy, we are the byproduct of radioactive mutation", Donnie said

"I may not be familiar with modern alchemy", Dragon Lord said "But I know a gift when I see it and I will have your gift"

"And how do you suppose we give it to you?", Raph asked, taking out his sai's twirling them with a fierce look

"I do so hate to repeat myself, it's a beautiful night for a picnic", he said, as he pulled out a sword

"Um okay thanks but I don't think there is enough food for all of us here and we prefer not to become food for you", Mikey said, backing up

"That's it dragons I like my meat tenderized and bring me the female!", he said "I would like to have the first serving"

I shivered in fear as Leo pushed me more behind his shell as he pulled out his own sword as he glared at the Dragon Lord. "You won't lay a claw on her, nor my child, nor anyone in my family!", Leo said, angrily

"We shall see turtle, tear them apart!", he yelled

Dragon Lord's soldiers started coming after my family as they roared and the boys pulled out their weapons showing them off, ready for a fight. I gasped as a dragon came lunging out at me and Leo with an open mouth full of sharp teeth. "Leo watch out!", I said, pointing

Leo turned and gasped as he then sheathed his sword in his hold again and ran at the ninja and did two punches at its head, then spun around and did a spinning back kick, sending the dragon flying. "Come on! Let's get you out of here!", Leo said

He took my hand as we both ran away from the action as we avoided dragons coming out at us and some that came flying from fighting our brothers. Leo led me towards an oak tree that was covered by many thick branches that could be safe for me and the baby from the action. "Here climb up", Leo said

He put his hand together and I stepped my foot on top of it as he started pushing me up towards the top of the tree as I started climbing inside an empty space. I looked back at Leo worried as he had climbed behind me. "Stay here okay, you will be safe from them", Leo said "Keep the baby safe that's my task I'm giving you"

"I will, I promise", I said "Please be careful"

Leo hugged me close as I hugged him tightly in return. He gave me a quick peck on the lips before he jumped out of the tree leaving me and ran off to join the others in the fight. It looked from a distance to be a hard fight as both my family and dragons were both evenly competitive against each other. Raph was avoiding being burned from a few dragon soldiers blowing fire at him as he ran towards them as he then spun through the air, like a cork screw over a massive fire as the dragons looked up. He landed in between them as he punched one in the face, knocking him out then the other a spinning roundhouse kick.

"Get off of my bo!", Donnie yelled, as one dragon had his bo staff in his teeth

He tried tugging on it to get him to release, but then had a different idea as he swung it across another dragon coming at him, and knocked him off hitting that dragon to the ground. Two more starting coming after him, and then that's when he threw his staff as it spun in the air like a boomerang and it bounced back off a tree and it hit the dragons in the back of the head as it came spinning back towards Donnie as he caught the staff. Mikey did a fake roundhouse kick up towards a dragon's head, but then trick it by doing a sweep kick to the ankles making the dragon do a flip in the air landing on its back. Two came out from each side of him with sharp claws spread out and Mikey was able to duck back till his hands touched the ground, making himself like an arch as the dragons slashed out at each other. Mikey then stood back up and split kicked them both in the chest sending them flying back. One more came at him and he grabbed his tonfa from his belt and blocked the punch the dragon was about to throwing, by pinning his fist together with his tonfa and then Mikey head butted him in the face.

Leo was fighting the dragon lord in a tough competitive sword clash match. Sharp steel kept banging and clashing against each other as the other tried to gain the upper advantage. Leo kept trying to do fast attacks to weaken Dragon Lord, but it didn't seem to be working as the Dragon Lord made his move and kicked Leo in the shin, making him yell in pain. Dragon Lord then whacked Leo's sword of his grasp as it went sliding away, then he kicked Leo in the chest to the ground.

Before he could of swung at Leo he somersaulted backwards to avoid his sharp blade and got back into a fighting stance with a glare. Dragon Lord roared as he ran at Leo and he jumped at high speeds towards him with his sharp teeth showing.

"Leonardo look out!", Splinter called out

He ran on all four of his paws as he shoved Leo out of the way and he knocked instead Splinter to the ground and Dragon Lord kicked then stepped down on his chest with a heavy boot, which caused him to yell in pain. Even from a far distance away I could hear the heaviness of Dragon's Lord foot cracking Splinter's ribs. "Master!", Leo yelled

"You have no honor Dragon Lord", Splinter said, trying to push his boot off

"Honor please, who needs honor when one can be almighty and powerful", he said

"Through mutation", he said

"You may call it mutation but I call it glorious transformation", Dragon Lord said

"You are a fool!", Splinter yelled

"And you are about to become flat rat!", he said, stepping on his chest more

Splinter yelled in pain as he struggled underneath the pressure of Dragon Lord's weight and I gasped in horror. "No leave him alone!", Leo yelled

The boys ran over towards them to help but Dragon Lord held out his sharp sword towards them as he stepped down on Splinter harder, causing them to skid to a halt. "Stand back or I will crush him!", he yelled, pointing the tip of his sword at Splinter's throat

"Master Splinter!", I said, terrified

I wanted to run over and help free my father and master, but I would be putting my baby in danger and I couldn't risk harming it. I looked around in the tree where I was hiding and I thought of an idea. I broke off a long curved branch and I took off my bandana tying the ends of it on the branch stems and I grabbed a smaller slimmer stick with part of the thick stem till attached to it. I grabbed a sharp pointed rock that was up in the tree by and I used a thread that was coming off from my belt and I tied it around the stick, making it resemble an arrow. I climbed out of the tree more into a clearer opening as I found the perfect position to aim. I pulled the arrow back using my bandanna as a bowstring and aimed for it at the Dragon Lord, I waited for the right opportunity and I released the arrow and it went screaming across the sky as it struck the Dragon Lord in the shoulder just as he was about to slice at him.

He roared in pain as he stepped off of Splinter and Leo and Raph were able to pull him to safety. The Dragon Lord looked up at me with a glare as I smirked back at him return. "So you see Dragon Lord, even though I'm four weeks pregnant I can still defeat you even if I don't have my weapon with me", I said "Mother nature was on my side this time"

"You shall pay for this!", he yelled

He started to blow fire that went towards me, but Leo was able to jump and he used his sword to reflect the fire as it went back towards the Dragon Lord's mouth as he then started coughing out smoke. Leo looked back at me with a wink and I smiled winking back, then he looked at my family with a glare gripping his wounded shoulder. "Dragons retreat!", he yelled

He then started blowing the same fog from earlier as the dragons started running back disappearing as the Dragon Lord limped towards the fog with Wick climbing back up on his shoulder. "We will meet again", he said, looking back at us, before disappearing "Turtles"

I sighed in relief that they finally had vanished. I retied my bandana around my head and I slowly came climbing down the tree. Leo came rushing towards me as I got my feet on the ground. Leo pulled me into his arms quickly as I hugged around him tightly. "Are you alright honey?", he asked

"Don't worry I'm fine", I said "That was very close call"

"Too close, smart move you made", he said

"Thanks", I said, panting a little

I looked over as I saw Donnie and Raph were helping Splinter to his feet. "Come on", I said

Leo and I both ran over to see if Master Splinter was alright after being under the brute strength of the Dragon Lord. "Master, father are you alright?", Leo asked

"Yes I am fine Leonardo", Splinter said, panting a little regaining his breath

"I could hear it all the way from where I was hiding, him nearly cracking your ribs", I said "He almost killed you"

"But you gave us an upper advantage with your smart and quick wits my daughter", Splinter said, smiling softly at me

"Arigato Master", I said, bowing with respect

"Yeah Calls how did you manage to do that?", Mikey asked "Making that crossbow?"

"Well that's one thing that I remembered from my master Yani, anything around you can be made and used into a weapon", I said "Even around mother nature"

"We were all very lucky", Splinter said

"I think we define that word very differently sensei", I said

"You have faced the Dragon Lord twice now my daughter and you have survived the brutality of his rage", he said "We all have"

"He was just so fast", Donnie said

"Yeah and strong too like an ape", Mikey said

"Man so much for a villain free life", Raph said, sounding annoyed

"You were right Calli", Leo said "You were right all along, it was like nothing like that could ever have happened, but it somehow managed to repeat this time for real"

"I'm so sorry, I had no idea that this was true", I said, shaking my head feeling guilty "I didn't know that this could of happened and I had no idea that they followed me out of the realm into the real world"

"It is not your fault Callista", Splinter said "You were played by a game of trickery"

"But what do we do sensei? They are sure to return and take revenge and try to kill us all", I said "I should of been more careful when it came into meditating into such a place"

He placed his paw on my shoulder as I looked up to him. "Do not let the guilt run through your heart my daughter, for we have had no warning on such a threat for that doesn't matter now", he said "It seems clear now that the Dragon Lord and his army is a problem that will not go away, so prepare yourselves my children. Because as of this moment we are at war"
