Chapter 17
Meanwhile, at the Battle Shell…
Donnie got to the Battle Shell without any problems and opened the back door of the vehicle.
Once safely inside, he found Serling with Kane sitting next to him shaking in fear and Master Splinter still out cold in front of them. Kane was the first to see him and ran towards him.
"Uncie Don-Don!" The little turtle said whilst crying and running with his arms in the air and ready to give him a hug, which Donnie gave him straight away once he reached him.
"Shhh…It's okay, Kane, it's okay…" He said softly to try and soothe his little nephew in his arms before heading towards Master Splinter and Serling.
Once he was near his father, Donnie took out a pair of tweezers and used them to pull something out of Master Splinter's ear; it was the homing device that the Cyber Shredder created during the process of bringing himself back to the real world. After doing this, Master Splinter began to slowly regain consciousness and then sat up whilst rubbing his aching head.
"Thank goodness you're alright, father…" Donnie said in relief before giving the homing device a closer look. Then, an idea popped up in his head.
"The Cyber Shredder absorbed Viral's digital matter to become a physical being, so this means that we can use the de-compiler to get rid of him once and for all!" He explained to Master Splinter and Serling before he got out his shell cell to call Leo and check on how Mikey was doing.
"Leo-" Donnie started before he was cut off by Leo.
"Don, what's your status?"
"Master Splinter is conscious and doing fine, and I've managed to come up with a plan to stop the Cyber Shredder for good!" explained Donnie before asking Leo a question himself.
"How's Mikey doing?"
"He's doing fine too, but I don't think it'll be long before your baby comes, Don; his waters broke a few minutes ago!" Leo said in a serious tone.
Donnie's eyes widened and gasped after hearing that last sentence before he heard Mikey's voice in the background.
"Is… that Donnie… Leo…?"
"Leo, let me speak to him a minute..." Donnie said to Leo, who nodded with an "ok" before putting his shell cell next to Mikey's ear.
"Donnie…Ngh…!" Mikey spoke before wincing in pain from his contraction.
"Mikey, are you ok?" Donnie asked his mate in a worried but gentle tone.
"Y-yeah, but…I'm starting to feel our baby…move further down…Aarrgh…!" Mikey suddenly screamed in pain as he started to feel pressure down below.
"Hold on, Mikey, I'm coming over to you!" Donnie said before hanging up and, with Splinter, Kane, and Serling following behind him, he got out of the Battle Shell and headed towards the farmhouse at full speed.
On their way there, Kane saw his dad, Raph, fighting with all his might against the Cyber Shredder.
"Daddy!" He shouted towards him whilst trying to get out of Serling's grip to get to him when he saw his dad get knocked down.
Donnie saw this and charged at the Cyber Shredder and, with all his strength, pushed him away from his older brother and knocking the enemy out for a little while.
"Raph, you ok?" Donnie asked whilst helping his brother up.
"Urgh…yeah…" Raph replied, holding his head as he was helped up.
"Daddy ok!?" Kane shouted from a distance, causing Raph to smile and head towards his son to hug him.
"Don't worry, lil' man, daddy's fine…" He said reassuringly, causing Kane to smile in relief.
Then, Donnie zoomed past them, causing them to look at him in surprise.
"Come on, we have to hurry back to the farmhouse! The baby's coming!" Donnie shouted before continuing his run to get to his mate's side.
The others looked at each other with wide eyes before they followed Donnie to the farmhouse at full speed ahead.
