"You know I can't stop you from seeing your...turtle friends." Mrs. Christine started while walking around Kara's body hunched over the table working on today's assignment. "But I'm surprised you don't bring them over here. I would like to get to know those your parent's intrusted to keep you safe, specially the one named Donnie..." Mrs. Christine's trailed off as her mind began to wander.
Kara blinked knowing the electronic circuits and gadgets were sparking and coming to life in her mind. "I guess..but why specifically Donnie?" She asked curiously with a raised brow.
Mrs. Christine laid down last weeks homework she assigned to them both. Kara blinked in surprise to see not only did she get a good grade but Donnie aced it with flying colors. "The two that you got wrong..were the ones I showed you how to do. He's just about your age and yet..he was able to help you better than I could." Mrs. Christine sat down across from her and gave her a serious look. "I want you to bring him here. I'm going to give him a small test, nothing bad, just a test to see how smart he is."
"So..kind of like an IQ test, right?"
Mrs. Christine nodded and gave her a smile. "I just want to see how far his intelligence goes...and if he wouldn't mind if I became his teacher."
Kara's eyes shot out of their sockets and quickly went to stand up only to fumble the chair and fall backwards on it. Mrs. Christine blinked in surprise and went to stand up to see if she was alright but almost jumped out of her skin when Kara shot up. "Wait, you're willing to teach a mutant?" Her voice loud with surprise.
Mrs. Christine narrowed her eyes at her pointing at Zachary who had fallen asleep while watching Winnie the Pooh and stands up. "No, I'm willing to teach someone who is willing to learn." She said softly, her voice and stature full of professionalism causing Kara's eyes to go wide in awe.
"W-What about the others?"
"Same goes for them."
Kara's mouth turned to a wide smile. "Are you serious?! This is amazing! I..I gotta go tell them! Oh, this is gonna be great!" Kara shouted before grabbing her jacket vest and ran to the balcony door.
Before Mrs. Christine could shush her she gasped when she saw Kara climbing to the roof. "W-What are you doing?! Get down this instant!" Her voice starting to get high pitched in panic.
"I'll be back, Mrs. Christine! I gotta to tell them the news!" Kara shouted while running to the ledge and jumping off causing Mrs. Christine to scream, "Kara!" as she flew mid air landing safely on the roof of the building across from theirs.
Mrs. Christine watched Kara turn around and wave at her before running off leaving her disarrayed and confused. She gave a weak wave to where she last saw Kara and leaned against the door frame. "How...how did she do that.." Her thoughts were interrupted by the now woken Zachary, angry at his mother for waking him up from his nap. She sighed softly and closed the door behind her to care for her child.
Arriving at the lair she looked around for them, excited to tell them the news of Mrs. Christine warming up to them but couldn't find them anywhere.
Hearing a lot of ruckus in the Dojo she guessed they were training so she decided to poke her head inside and saw the guys lined up along with...METALHEAD! She smiled wide and went to go greet them but jumped back watching Mikey fly around the room by a rocket powered hand. "I guess Donnie just finished working on MetalHead..sweet!" She whispered to herself deciding to listen in for a moment.
"I'm sorry, Sensei, but overall I'd say that was a pretty successful test." Donnie said with a shy smile.
"Successful?! MetalHead almost ripped Mikey's face off!" Leo said sounding pretty ticked.
"Please. I had it all under control." Donnie said while crossing his arms.
"And when you don't?" Leo said.
"Well, then I guess I'll have to come in and save the day." Kara said now leaning against the doorway non chalantly.
"Ah, Kara, good to see you today." Master Splinter said with a smile.
"Nice to see you too. Hi everyone and MetalHead!" She shouted immediately going over and hugging him. She kissed his cheek and if she wasn't seeing things she was sure his metal cheeks turned pink.
While she was nuzzling her cheek against MetalHead's everyone was either looking away or looking at her like a crazy, obsessed fangirl if you can guess which.
Master Splinter raised a brow at her before using his tail as a whip to snap her to attention, sitting down besides MetalHead straight and attentive.
Clearing his throat he continued where he was interrupted."Donatello has created a powerful tool. It is to our advantage to study an enemies techniques but you must use that tool wisely."
Kara blinked hearing MetalHead suddenly scream like a siren. Donnie moved beside him to get a closer look.
"What's wrong with him now?" Leo said sounding annoyed.
"Something tripped the security wires. It's approaching the lair, fast!"
Kara nodded and got up to join the others putting her gloves on while running behind them slowing down once they hit then end of a wide sewer line.
"You think it's the footbots again?"
Hearing kraang weaponary Kara had to guess..no. Able to see the silhouettes of the thing being fired at she blinked in surprise seeing a rather large spider. Blinking her eyes to adjust to the dim lighting she rubbed her eyes some just to make sure.
"Was that?...Nah, couldn't be."
Hearing yells and screams of pain getting louder they all jumped down to get ready for some action but what she saw coming towards them, it's claws and fangs out..she screamed.
"AHHHHH! KILL IT! KILL IT WITH FIRE!" She screamed at the top of her lungs while pointing at the huge spider before jumping onto Raph, clinging tightly to him causing him to loose his balance and fall over.
"Hey, what the?! Get off me!" Raph shouted while trying to pry Kara off of him.
"Ah! Spiderbites!"
"It has a name?! Don't name it, kill it!" Kara shouted.
"Ahhh! You frogs gotta help! Those triplets are after me!"
"I wonder why!" Kara shouted now standing behind Raph and Donnie, keeping them two in front of her to use as shields to distance herself from the spider.
"Hehahaha, reminds me of the time with Raph and the cockroach." Mikey said, laughing at her fright.
"Spiders are much more dangerous! Not only are they poisonous they can get inside you and lay eggs in you!" Kara shouted before ducking behind the two barely peeking out at Spiderbites but for some reason he sounded familiar.
"We are not frogs! Wait, what?" Leo looked behind him to see three kraang droids were firing at Spiderbites. He knocked the guys aside Kara pulling Raph so that he was distancing her from the spider and ended up having him fall on top of her. She groaned softly regretting that decision but felt relief when the spider ran away noticing the kraang completely ignored them and went after the spider.
"Good riddance!" She said but looked up watching the others follow after it."They're heading to the surface!" Leo shouts before following after Spiderbites and the Kraang.
"Hey, wait up guys!" She shouted following after them. "Ugh, I'm gonna need bigger gloves..." She hopped over but stopped noticing Donnie playing on his phone. "What are you doing?" She asked curiously.
"You'll see." Donnie said with a smile before following after the others Kara right beside him.
Climbing up the sewer ladder she was still able to hear the Spider whining. "He sure is loud for a spider.."
She climbed out once the others did and stretched her arms watching Leo go to run after it but saw none of the others were.
"They're getting away!" Leo said but stopped seeing everyone was staying behind.
"Why is that our problem? That slobbering bug gives us nothing but trouble." Raph said to Leo while leaning against the lamp post.
"He asked for our help! The Kraang want him and I want to find out why!"
"Whose is that guy anyways?" Kara asked them curiously able to tell the guys knew him somehow.
"It's that guy that took the video of us a year ago." Donnie said to Kara
"You mean a few days after we met? It's already been a year?! Wow..time sure does fly by.."
"Fine, so how are we suppose to catch up to them?" Raph asked ignoring Kara but froze feeling the rushing of wind hit his back and turned around to see the Shellraiser.
"I called for back up." Donnie said with a simple smile on his face.
Kara hugged MetalHead when they all climbed in and she kissed the top of his head. "Way to think ahead, Donnie." She said before going to his side and kissing his cheek. He blushed, rubbing the back of his head.
She looked over at Leo who had to stand up because MetalHead was driving.
"Nice, Donnie. When did you teach him how to drive?"
She fell backwards, tumbling down the aisle, hit the back of the Shellraiser, and fell flat on the floor. She looked up seeing stars floating around her. "Preeetty." She said in a daze.
"You did teach him how to drive, didn't ya?!" She heard Raph say before her face hit the floor again. "I'm gonna feel that tomorrow.." She said with a muffled voice.
MetalHead pushed on the accelerate now catching up to the Kraang vehicle. Kara pushed herself up grabbing onto the security lines hearing Donnie say, "Huh, that's new."
"What is?" She asked before MetalHead started swerving side to side Donnie yelling orders to MetalHead, "Evasive maneuvers! Deploy garbage cannon!" She squeezed the security line tightly to keep herself from flying everywhere while they fire at the Kraang vehicle.
"Yeah! Garbage beats Kraang rocket!" Mikey shouted.
"So that's what's new..." Kara grinned at Raph for his excellent aiming.
"Pull up along side." Donnie said getting up from his station.
"Now we're talking!" Raph grinned pumping his fist before climbing out to the top along with Donnie. Kara sat down in Raph's seat and watch as they jump onto the Kraang vehicle. Noticing Donnie fall between the vehicles, using his staff to keep from falling to the ground. "Keep the Shellraiser in position, MetalHead!" She shouted watching Raph reach for Donnie to help him up.
When one of the Kraang droids climbed out to take care of them she grinned and aimed the cannon right at his face. "Hope you like garbage!" She shouted before firing the canon and knocking it off. "Haha, yes!" She got up and opened the hatch for them just as MetalHead slammed the bumper into one of the Kraang's wheels forcing it to swerve and run into a building.
"Nice w-woah!" She held onto the chair the Shellraiser beginning to swerve as well and hit a car.
The doors open, hearing the Di-ding, and she walks out with the others waving the smoke away while coughing. "Well that was interesting." She coughed some more before moving aside to let MetalHead out.
"There's no way out of there. MetalHead stay with the Shellraiser before you blow anything else up."
Kara looked at Leo sensing some hostility and wondered what he had against MetalHead. Deciding the ask him she opened her mouth but Donnie spoke first before she could.
"He stopped the truck, didn't he? The Kraang know we're coming he can help!"
MetalHead gave him two thumbs up before they changed into weapons, his eye cover opening up to show the mini bombs, and wings popped out his back levitating above the ground. Kara's eyes widened and sparkled seeing him floating. "He can fly! That is so cool!" She jumped up, hugging him mid air and nuzzling her cheek against his once more.
Leo smacked his hand against his forehead letting out an annoyed sigh. Kara noticed this and hopped down giving him a confusing look. "It'll be a good strategy to have him around. You never know how many Kraang could be waiting. What's your deal?"
"Fine, whatever." Leo looked away before sneaking towards the garage they slammed into. Kara shrugged and followed after him but was stopped by MetalHead. She looked down at him watching him point to himself and beep a couple times then point to her. Confused she looked up at Donnie for answers.
"He says he wants to go first to protect you." Donnie says with a smile.
Kara blushed and nodded giving him a childish grin and a thumbs up before letting him go ahead of her. "Adorable, strong, and a gentleman..kinda reminds me of someone." Kara said with a thought tapping her chin.
"Oh, who would that be?" Donnie asked just as Kara leaned up on her tippy toes and kissed him on the lips. "You, silly." She set herself back on her feet and stuck her tongue out playfully watching him blush shyly.
"Ahhahah yeah..ahem well...I am your knight in shining shell." He said while rubbing the back of his head. She giggled and leaned upward for another kiss but stopped hearing someone clearing their voice and looked over at Raph giving them the grumpiest look while pointing towards the large hole where the garage door use to be.
"To be continued." She said before giving him a quick peck on the lips and ran over to the others giggling to herself. Donnie watched her with a soft smile on his face and followed suit.
Waiting for the signal Kara watched the guys poke their heads out to look around before running into the garage yelling their battlecries. Guessing that was the signal she followed after them but to her surprise there were no Kraang around.
"They just disappeared? That's impossible!"
Kara nodded in agreement to Raph's comment before walking outside making sure they were in the right building but none of the buildings had a large hole in them.
"There must be a secret door or...a hidden passage somewhere. Fan out!"
Watching the others follow Leo's order she decided to do the same and walked around the cars that were stacked like a shelf and wondered if it was the same as the time Donnie rescued Mr. O'Neil.
"Hmm..Cars...traps..Mr. O'Neil..scientist...teacher...teacher?...TEACHER!" Kara's eyes widened remembering why she went to go visit the guys.
"Guys! I just remembered something I forgot to tell you earlier!" Kara said while waving her arms frantically.
"Hold that thought, Kara. MetalHead use your scanners to check the structure for any hidden rooms or passage ways." Donnie said just as MetalHead gave him a few beeps in response and flew to the middle of the room letting out a large, turquoise colored scanner scanning the room along with her and the others.
Kara pouted crossing her arms never liking to be interrupted but blinked when she felt a tingle watching the scanner go over her and the others.
"Heheheh hahahah that tickles!" Mikey giggled Raph yelling in surprise.
"Tickle ray? Real useful upgrade, Donnie." Kara glanced over at Leo getting that feeling again that he doesn't like MetalHead. "I wonder if something happened...oh yeah..he was taken over control by the Kraang..guess Leo is just being cautious but I doubt Donnie would let that happen twice."
"It happens to be a three dimensional volume metric scan." Donnie said back at Leo with a grin.
"Can't go wrong with three dimensional volumizing scans" Kara said to Leo giving him a playful punch on his shoulder along with her childish grin but seeing his frown stuck to his face she frowned and left him alone.
Kara looked over at Donnie and MetalHead hearing a few beeps from MetalHead and went over to see what's up.
"But that doesn't make sense. There should be tire marks or a seam in the floor but the Kraang left no trace at all just some junk and-"
"Oh! I super macho burrito!" Mikey exclaimed interrupting Donnie's train of thought. "Woo, yes! It's the ultimate combination of pizza and burrito! A Pizzaritto! It's super and macho!"
"Really? A Pizzaritto? That's the most ridiculous combination I have ever...heard...well, what do you know." Kara walked over to Mikey and sure enough..a Pizzaritto. She crossed her arms while watching Mikey attempt to open it by force, it was pretty funny.
"I'm going in." Mikey said getting on his knees and reaching for it through the end. She sighed while rubbing the bridge of her nose knowing he was bound to get stuck.
"Do you have any idea how long that's been in there?" Raph said also watching his failed attempts with his arms crossed.
"Who cares?! Dah..Super and Macho! Lingua n Queso!"
Kara giggled softly wondering if he had any what he was saying before digging into her pockets wondering if she had any change to get it for him. "Wonder if the thing still works.."
"Your arms stuck isn't it?" Kara stopped what she was doing and looked up at Raph then to Mikey.
"Possibly...neh..maybe, on purpose?"
Raph sighs in annoyance before grabbing Mikey's feet and pulling him out from the vending machine making Kara giggle some more at how funny it was and brought her phone out to record it but Raph managed to pull Mikey out before she could do it and saw it open up to the inside. "So that's what they look like on the inside." She said aloud in surprise.
"It's like a vending machine..from the future."
"A Kraang computer! Mikey, you're a genius!" Donnie said with a large smile running to it with Leo behind him.
"That's how I roll!" Kara laughed at Mikey and held both her hands out to him and Raph to help them up.
"Can that computer tell us where the Kraang went?"
"MetalHead, see if you can access it's database. It should tell us where the disappeared to."
MetalHead responded with a few beeps and used a tool to hack into the computer.
"Uh..are you sure plugging MetalHead into unknown Kraang tech is a good idea?"
"Trust me, Leo, the Kraang processor in MetalHead makes him perfectly compatible with their computers. Heheh, what could go wrong?"
Just as soon as Donnie said that MetalHead began short circuit, purple lightning coming off his body. Kara's eyes widened and she dove out of the way, rolling into a ball to minimize injury just as the Kraang computer exploded.
"MetalHead!" Kara shouted seeing nothing left of the Kraang computer.
"Great, Donnie, great! Not only did we lose the Kraang but MetalHead blew up our only clue to where they went."
"Hey, he was just trying to help! I don't see you pulling any gadgets out of your shell to figure this out." Kara said to Leo crossing her arms looking pretty ticked.
"What the..why are you standing up for MetalHead?! You saw what he did!"
"Because he's only doing what he is told! He was built to assist you guys and you've been treating him like he's a waste of space when he just wants to help you and be part of the team! Why is that Leo? What's your problem?"
Leo narrowed his eyes at her and walked right up to her. "Because the last time he was "part of the team" he got hacked into by the Kraang and was used against us."
"So I was told but don't you trust your brother enough to think he would of taken precaution with that thought in mind to make sure it never happened again?" Kara narrowed her eyes in return not backing down from his stare but blinked in surprise seeing something else in his eyes..sadness? "But..why?" She thought to herself before looking over at Donnie watching him worry over Metalhead.
"You ok little buddy?"
MetalHead turned to Donnie giving him a thumbs up before his hand flew off his arm and around the room before hitting Mikey in the face, sending him flying around.
"Seems fine to me." Raph said to Donnie.
Kara looked back at Leo one more time before going over to MetalHead and Donnie, bending down next to Donnie to comfort him looking over Metalhead giving him a gentle pat on the head.
MetalHead's hand finally let go of Mikey, dropping him to the ground and flying off somewhere else. "Nghdaah can we go home now, please?" Mikey asks in pain while rubbing his nose.
"What about the Kraang?"
"What about them? Spiderbites is their problem now." Raph said to Leo not really caring about the mutant, guessing he was still holding a grudge from making fun of him and his weapon.
"But what do they want with him?"
Kara could tell Donnie was worried for MetalHead and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "He'll be ok but just to make sure we should get him back to the lair and look at him." She gave him a reassuring smile before kissing his cheek then gave MetalHead a gentle pat on the head.
"MetalHead's memory core isn't too badly damaged." Donnie started saying while plugging MetalHead up. Kara was sitting on the desk beside Leo watching Donnie work while Mikey played with MetalHead's mouth.
"Stop it, Mikey." Donnie said pushing his arm down from his mouth. "It seems that the Kraang security algorithms were too concept to encrypt.
"Less sciency more englishy." Kara chuckled at Raph's comment before turning her attention back to Donnie watching him keep slapping Mikey's hand from MetalHead over and over knowing when he was gonna do it.
"I should be able to retrieve what he downloaded from the Kraang computer,Mikey!" He was getting annoyed when Mikey poked MetalHead in the face only to have him punch his arm
Mikey let out an "Ow." of pain but when he malfunctioned again he began to wiggle and smack his butt at him.
"He might take a little time to fix though." Donnie said his face showing concern. Kara watched him knowing he was worried for his little buddy and sighed.
"How long will it take?"
"Well, in technical terms...awhile" MetalHead raised his arms and his hands shot out flying everywhere before going towards the others past Raph and Leo then to Mikey. He managed to grab the first hand but yelled when the second one grabbed his head from behind and soon had both of them grabbing his head and fell over.
Kara stayed in the lab helping Donnie with MetalHead by giving him tools he needed and whatnot, having the fire extinguisher ready incase something were to happen knowing MetalHead doesn't have a flamethrower in there somewhere.
"I should tell him now before I forget..gah but he's too focused on working on MetalHead..now doesn't seem like the best time..woah!"
She bent backwards on the chair dodging his fist before it went flying out the door to the livingroom and went out to get it seeing Raph had did a jump kick knocking it away she grinned and ran over to pick it up.
"We know the Kraang rebuilt TCRI. What if they got the portal working again?"
She held the hand in hers and looked down in thought knowing the possibilities were high. She tightened her grip on the hand determined to find out what they have planned and to stop it. Hearing Leo speaking she turned her head in his direction to listen.
"That's what we need to find out, ahh!" She jumped when lasers came flying in his direction and ran back inside the lab to assist Donnie. "How's it going, Donnie?"
"Not bad,gaah!" She yelled when she saw fire coming out of MetalHead and dropped the hand to grab the extinguisher and ran after Donnie, spraying him with the cold foam watching the steam rise off of him. "Thanks Kara.." He said just before the protective mask fell infront of his face.
She gave him a weak smile and went over helping him wipe the foam off him. "Heheh..sorry."
"Ok, Donnie, it's late. Give it a rest."
Kara yelled out before diving to ground just as MetalHead's mini bombs flew out the room and around the guys making them yell and dodge them hearing them explode away from them.
Donnie gave a determined look and placed the protective mask over his face once more and twirled a wrench in his hand before charging back into battle. Kara hopped to her feet and ran after him.
After a while Donnie seemed to be finished working on MetalHead giving Kara some time to clean up the explosions and mess when she heard Leo coming in.
"Donnie, you gotta shut down his A.I."
"Shut down his A.I.? But that would be like turning off his brain."
"Woah woah woah..what? You want to shut down MetalHead's brain? What're you nuts? We're this close to figuring out what the Kraang are up to!" Kara said getting angry at Leo for thinking of such an idea.
"He's just too dangerous."
"We need him Leo! The Kraang and the Foot are armed up more than ever."
"It's not worth the risk. MetalHead was glitched before he plugged into that Kraang computer. He was taken over by the Kraang once already."
"That again?! Don't you think with the A.I. inside his brain that he could come up with some plan to make sure that never happened again? He's learning because of that A.I. Leo."
"It's not your choice in this matter, Kara." Leo said starting to get annoyed with her.
"No." Kara said now standing in front of Metalhead glaring at Leo. "I won't let you."
Leo clenched his fist and walked up to her. "Then let me as you this, are you sure you can trust him?" Leo looked down at her then over at Donnie.
"Yes." She said without hesitation.
"..Maybe you're right..I'll take care of it" Kara blinked in surprise and looked over at Donnie in confusion.
Leo went over to Donnie and gave him a small pat on the shoulder before leaving. "Sorry, Donnie."
Donnie went to place his hand on her shoulder but she shrugged it away, glaring at him. "Fine, but I won't be here to watch you destroy his mind." She stormed off leaving the lair.
Finding the nearest manhole she looked up at it noticing it was dark and sighed in annoyance knowing Mrs. Christine was gonna give her heck for being out so late. She went to climb the ladder but heard metallic whirring and stomping. "No...that can't be..MetalHead?"
She hopped down and saw him running towards her. "MetalHead! Did Donnie change his mind?" She bent down hearing the beeping and stared at him with a smile on her face. "I don't understand what you're saying but I'm gonna have to take that as a yes but..where is he and the others?"
He beeped a few more times before taking her hand and leading her up the stairs and out of the sewers. "Guess you want me to follow you then, huh?" He nodded his head in a yes and she smiled letting him lead the way.
She followed him behind a busted wall to Dragon Gate and looked around noticing they were doing some remodeling or something. "Wonder what they're doing around this time of year.." She thought to herself but blinking thinking she heard the guys and saw them hiding behind wooden planks visible on the wall and smiled, waving at them.
"Hey, gu-ahs!" She blinked when MetalHead grabbed her and dragged her towards the porta-potties. "What the..why are we going over there?"
-Guy's P.O.V-
"Hey, gu-ahs!" She blinked when MetalHead grabbed her and dragged her towards the porta-potties. "What the..why are we going over there?"
"Kara!" They all shouted, thinking MetalHead had kidnapped her so they brought out their weapons and went to charge but when MetalHead opened the portable toilets they watched Kara's reaction.
"Eww, don't take me in ther...what the..ahh!" She held onto MetalHead screaming just as he closed the door.
"Oh my gosh! He's gonna kill her in there!" Donnie shouted in a panic before running over to open it but blinked in surprise finding no trace of them anywhere.
-Kara's P.O.V-
She screamed all the way down, squeezing her eyes shut thinking she was going to fall to her death but blinked when she didn't feel her stomach drop from the gravity. Opening one eye at a time til she was able to clearly see she was floating mid air.
Looking up she saw that Metalhead was holding her safely in his arms making her blink in surprise. "Thanks, buddy." She gave him her childish grin making his cheeks turn pink in a cartoonish way, that time she wasn't seeing things but shrugged it off.
She yelled in surprise seeing all of the mutants that they had captured and saw a few empty ones as well. Immediately thinking of her sister she hoped she was safe and that they didn't know about her. "This..doesn't seem right.." She said looking at the mutants seeing Spike and the flower that she encountered once and the,"Egh!..Spider.."
When he landed infront he let her go and went to a control like mechanism in the middle of the room. She looked around and watched him work. "You're...here to save them, huh?! I knew they were wrong to shut off your intelligence!" She said while pumping her fist at how right she was.
Hearing a door open she looked to the side seeing they had company. "I got your back, buddy!" She said while slipping on her gloves before charging into battle.
After finishing off the first three she heard two more doors opening and sighed mentally counting the Kraang droids and knew she was outnumbered but knew in her mind she had to protect MetalHead. Letting out a battlecry she brought out her taser, charging it up to it's highest setting and fought them off. Two had managed to grab her having a third aim it's gun at her when Donnie dropped in on top of it, stabbing the spear end of his staff into it's head. "Donnie!" She shouted in relief to see him and soon the others dropped in as well.
"What took you so long? Here I thought I was gonna have all this fun to myself." She said while Raph threw his Sai at the Kraang on her left, hitting it smack in the face giving her the chance to throw her arm to the side and in turn throwing the now dead Kraang bot into the other one holding onto her right arm and kicked them both away.
"We were a little...preoccupied." Leo said while beginning to attack the other Kraang droids.
"Oh really? By what?" She glanced towards him using her taser on one before kicking it over at him to finish the job.
"MetalHead locked us in the garage." Mikey said making them all glare at him.
"Oh reaaallly?" Kara said now with a smug look on her face. "Now why would he do that?" She said while tapping her chin in thought making Leo sigh in annoyance but gasp when more came out. "Kara, look out!" He shouted but before he could move to protect her MetalHead turned and fired his lasers at it before turning to fire at the other ones that were coming behind Raph making him duck just in time.
Kara grinned watching MetalHead fight together with the guys watching them work as a team. "Wait, I'm apart of this team too!" She said in her mind with a wide grin on her face before jumping at two of the Kraang droids, slamming her arms down into their necks before bringing her fist down in one and her taser in the other causing it to short circuit.
"Kraang, release the mutant captives that are controlled by Kraang."
Hearing this she turned around looking above where the captive mutants were and gulped nervously. "Oh, that can't be good.." Seeing the one known as Spiderbites get released made her eyes widen and scream. "That is definitely not good!"
"The ones that are turtles that I call frogs must be..destroyed!" It said before attacking them.
"Is it me or is Spiderbites a lot less Spiderbites and a lot more Kraangy? Dah!" Mikey shouted before dodging an attack by Spiderbites, grabbing onto one of it's leg things.
"I don't care! Keep it away from me!" She shouted while running away from it only to feel her legs get tied up by the flower mutants vines.
"Kara!" Donnie shouted before jumping up to save her raising his weapon over his head only to get wrapped up and tangled in it's vines as well. He yelled out while Snakeweed swung him everywhere but Leo managed to cut the vine and set him free though he was still tied up.
Leo and Raph backed up infront of him while the two mutants and Kraang droids cornered them. Snakeweed lifting Kara up to his face, snarling at her feeling its vines wrap her up from the waist up.
"Destroy all mutants!"
She heard the Kraang say and squeezed her eyes shut, fearing the worst. "MetalHead!" She shouted as loud as she could hearing the others call her name thinking it was the end for her.
The next thing she knew she was being let go and dropped to the floor. Looking up she could hear the Kraang talking, "The device that is the control device is no longer controlling-" The Kraang didn't finish in time due to getting attacked by the ticked off mutants.
"Frogs! Are you getting me out of here or do I have to do it myself?!"
Donnie helped her up just as more Kraang droids appeared but they were soon shot down by MetalHead. She grinned and gave him a thumbs up.
"Metalhead, see if you can open a portal. We're getting out of here!" Donnie said with a grin on his face.
"Right, all of us. Mutants too!" Leo added in making Kara grin while putting her arm around his shoulder. "You know what to do!" She said with a wink towards MetalHead just before he turned around and plugged into the main control releasing the captive mutants and opening the portal.
"He did it! He opened the portal!"
"That's our MetalHead!" Kara said with excitement hugging Donnie with a wide smile on her face. "Prison Riot!" Kara shouted before joining in the fight diving at one of the Kraang droids and slamming her fist into it's face before tasing another one from behind.
Looking over at Raph to see how he was doing she saw him about to get blasted but Spi..Slash intervened. She watched the two and smiled some before running up to him, giving him a small pat on the shoulder and running ahead of him to fight some more but noticed a few Kraang were firing at him but saw they were too high up for her to get to them.
"Come on, I'll give you a lift." Donnie said before putting away his weapon. She nodded as he lifted her off her feet, holding her bridal style, and leapt above to where the Kraang were.
Watching a few attacking a helpless bat mutant she glared and when they were close enough she leaped out of his arms and tackled one to the ground while Leo took care of the other and she kicked it away. It jumped back timidly and she backed away to show she meant no harm.
"Mr O'Neil, fly out of here, please! For April go, now!"
"Wait, that's April's dad?!" Kara shouted in surprise at Donnie.
"We'll tell you later, come on!" Leo shouted making Donnie pick her up again. "MetalHead, we're leaving!"
She looked over Donnie's shoulder watching him closely. "Come on we're almost to the top.."
Everyone was gathered at the top and were waiting for MetalHead.
"Come on, you tin can, move!" Raph shouted down at MetalHead.
She heard a few beeps and watched as Donnie slowed down. "He has to keep it open for us."
"But what about him?"
She looked from Leo then down to Metalhead squeezing Donnie's shoulder when she heard him say, "We don't have a choice."
She watched him fight off the Kraang and when he looked up at them he pointed to the portal telling them to go. She lowered herself from Donnie's arms and stepped towards the edge of the platform just watching him.
He looked up at both of them and gave them a thumbs up causing a small gasp to escape Kara's lips. She felt tears in her eyes but she squeezed her eyes and gave him her childish grin giving him a thumbs up in return, Donnie doing the same with a small smile before picking her up and going through the portal.
They all screamed as they flew out of a sidewalk postal drop off Donnie wrapping himself around Kara to protect her. She peeked from his shoulder seeing something fly out just before the post box imploded on itself and saw it was MetalHead's head.
"MetalHead. Oh no.."
Kara watched Donnie crawl over to his head and pick it up. She looked away in sadness turning to the others.
"Dude, he saved us.."
"He saved all of us. You're right, Donnie, I should of trusted you."
"I programmed him to be intelligent but..I hadn't realized how much he had evolved.."
When he stood up she walked infront of him placing her hands over his, looking down at MetalHead before up at him. "He learned from the best.."She gave him a soft smile before taking his head from his hand and placing a soft kiss on the top before giving it back to him. "I'm going to miss him too."
"Donnie, I'm sorry about MetalHead, bro. I didn't really mind it when he grabbed my face his hands were soft, for a robot." Mikey gave him a smile while pushing his thumbs together making Kara smile at him.
"Thanks, Mikey."
"Do you think you'll try building another MetalHead?" Leo asked.
"Maybe I will...one day." Donnie looked down at MetalHead's head giving it a soft stroke with his thumb before they all piled in the Shellraiser leaving for the lair.
Donnie was sitting in his lab alone just staring at MetalHead's head and let out a soft sigh. Kara watched him and walked inside sitting down beside him trying to think of something to get his mind off losing MetalHead. She felt herself being mentally smacked by her own mind remembering what brought her down here the first place.
"You know...you amazed my teacher, Mrs. Christine." She started, glancing at Donnie to see if she was catching his attention, which she was.
"She graded that homework she gave you and..she wants you to see her soon and give you a test to see how smart you are and..if you're willing to..become one of her students." She leaned back into the chair nonchalantly and watched his eyes widen and his interest spark.
"W-What? She wants to teach me? You mean..I get to actually learn from a trained professional?!"
She smiled wide and nodded. "She sees something in you. Looks like you're warming up to her."
"This is great!" He shouted, jumping in excitement making her laugh. "Shh, you'll wake the others." She said trying to calm him down.
"Thank you, Kara..I needed this.."
"I know, Donnie." She glanced at MetalHead's head before leaning in and giving him a kiss on the lips. "We'll talk about this some more tomorrow. You should get some rest."
She stands up to leave, stretching her arms but stops when Donnie holds her close to him. "Stay with me, please." He whispered softly hearing the pain in his voice. She nodded and buried her head in his shoulder.
"I will." She whispered in return before they left to his room for the night, holding each other til they went to sleep.
