It was Saturday so that obviously meant April and Casey Jones didn't have any school so they were hanging out waiting for one of April's friends to come along with them to hang out.
"Are you sure about this?" Kara asked clearly nervous about meeting a school friend of hers. "What if she asks the weird questions? I'm not good under pressure!"
April giggled at her nervousness placing a hand on her shoulder. "Calm down, Kara. She's a close friend of mine. We've known each other ever since I moved here you'll like her."
"I dunno, it is Irma we're talking about." Casey Jones said in a sort of irritated tone leaning against the wall by the bus stop they were waiting for her at his bike by his side.
"You don't seem too pleased about her, Jonesie." Kara raised a brow wondering if he had some grudge against Irma which only made her more nervous. Kara saw the bus turn the corner and drive up in front of them. "oh, jeez..I'm not ready to answer the questions..what if she doesn't like me? Wait, why do I care?...What if she tries to keep April from hanging out with me? Gaah! The suspense is killing me!"
Kara turned around, her panicking giving her a nervous stomach, feeling like it was moments before she was going to hurl but blinked seeing a girl a few inches, perhaps two or three, shorter than April climb off the bus wearing an oversized band merch t-shirt, a tank top underneath, an indigo plaid skirt, and brown knee length boots.
What really surprised her was Irma's hair, guessing it was black with purple dyed highlights it was different from everyone elses and she liked it. "Cool." She said simply as Irma walked up to them. "Hey April, Casey" Her voice changing to a low, unamused tone when speaking his name. "and...stranger? Who are you?"
"Oh, jeez, here come the questions.." Kara cleared her throat to respond but April beat her to it. "Irma, this is my friend Kara. Kara, Irma."
"Heh heh, nice to meetcha." She said giving Irma her childish grin and holding out her hand for a handshake.
"Same here." Irma said, smiling at Kara. "How long have you known April?"
"Oh, about a year I suppose." Kara rubbed the back of her head laughing nervously.
"Strange, you don't seem to go to our school or else I would recognize you. How'd you two meet?" Irma said with a confused look on her face.
"Through some..friends." Kara grew more nervous at her suspicious look feeling as though she was in a police interrogation. Before Irma could ask any more questions April interrupted the conversation. "So, whose hungry? I could go for some pizza."
"Pizza sounds good but I'm on a diet." Irma said turning her attention to April.
"Then why not go home, Irma?" Casey Jones said with a smirk.
"They have veggie pizzas and other varieties at Antoine's." Kara pointed down the street from where they were at. "It's just a couple blocks away."
"Good thinking, Kara." April said with a smile before turning to leave Irma walking beside April as they head towards Antoine's Kara staying behind with Casey Jones.
"So what's your deal with Irma?" She asked curiously beside Casey Jones walking his bike.
"She's alright I guess I just wanted it to be just April and me. Was hoping this would be a date."
She blinked at Casey Jones. "Aw, Jonesie has a crush on April." She said in a baby voice making him laugh and playfully punch her arm. "Wait, if you wanted this to be a date then..why are you letting me hang out with you guys?"
"Cause you're cool to hang out with. You get me." Casey Jones rubbed the back of his head a small smile on his face. Kara smiled in return giving his shoulder a playful punch. "I agree I am cool..and thanks."
Once they arrived at Antoine's Casey Jones, April, and Kara ordered a large extra pepperoni pizza and Irma ordered a small, veggie, gluten-free pizza for herself. Irma kept trying to find out more about Kara but either she would stuff her mouth to not answer or April would butt in side tracking her from the questions.
After a full, satisfied stomach Kara paid for everyone and they walked out, Casey Jones unlocking his bike from the bike rack on the side of the building.
"I know they claimed that pizza was gluten free but I definitely tasted gluten."
"Isn't that the best part?" Kara said with a soft chuckle to Irma.
"Not when you're on a diet. By the way, I saw you eat half of that pizza by yourself. Do you always eat like that?" Irma asked Kara surprise and curiosity in her voice.
"Most of the time, yeah. Why?"
"How do you stay so skinny? From first looks you look like a health nut like me."
Kara laughed and shrugged her shoulders. "I uh..take self defense classes.." She rubbed the back of her head knowing she was only telling half the truth. "Wonder how she'd react if she knew about what I really do." She looked at Irma now getting a good look at her body structure a thought crossing her mind. "You know..you have the body of a fighter..why not take some classes yourself? I can teach you a few things if you like." She gave her a small smile and a shy shrug trying to be nice.
"You really think so?" Irma asked getting a look at herself that idea never occurring to her. "Sure, why not." She smiled at Kara making Kara's smile a little bigger thinking she was warming up to her.
"Thanks for joining us on our date, Irma. We really needed a chaperon." Casey Jones.
"Anything I can do to help." She said in a cheery voice making Kara chuckle at her.
"Uh, who said this was a date, Casey?" April asked him with a sly smile on her face both of them now looking at each other. Kara grinned at the two but blinked whenever Casey Jones jumped, letting out a startled yell.
Watching a rat go by she shuddered remembering the encounter with 'The Rat King'. Shaking her head she made the memory disappear hearing Irma talking to Casey Jones.
"I can't believe someone as big as you is afraid of a little rat."
"Heh, you should see my other friend. He's twice as tough as Jonesie yet is afraid of cockroaches." She laughed at the thought making Irma giggle.
"I can't believe that rat is afraid of this adorable little kitty." April picked up a tabby cat and Kara's eyes sparkled. "Aw, it's so cute!" She said with a wide smile going over to April and stroking the cat's head making it purr.
Kara was to distracted by the purring cat to hear what Irma was talking about, guessing it had to do with rats but ignored her as the cat started rubbing it's face against hers. "Aww, you're such a sweet little thing."
"Little kitty doesn't have any tags. We can't just leave her here."
"Don't look at me I'm more of a rat person." Irma said while April climbed onto Casey's bike."
"Sorry, April, my place doesn't allow pets..stupid rules.." Kara grumbled crossing her arms but heard her phone go off telling her she received a text. Looking at her phone it was from Donnie.
"Kara, guess what? Today's training is about fighting blind! Isn't that cool! You should come down and watch me I..I mean us train!"
Kara giggled at the text responding back with an "I'm on my way." "Gotta go guys, gonna see my other friends. Nice meeting you Irma." She waved bye before running off.
"Catch ya later, Irma. We gotta find this kitty a home." April said before riding off after Kara on Casey's bike. When they caught up with Kara she looked at them and grinned. "Going my way?"
"Yeah, figured the guys could look after the kitty til I can find somewhere else to give her a home to."
"I'm pretty sure Mikey would love to keep her." Kara laughed, rounding a corner to a dead end. Pushing the button on the keypad handmade by Donnie the wall lifts up like a garage door and all three of them enter. "A lot faster than going through the sewers dontcha think?"Kara said with a grin.
Arriving at the lair the first one to be seen was Leo who was working out on the training dummy. "Hey, Leo how did training go?"
"Oh, uh..it went...well" He rubbed the back of his head embarrassed when Raph came into view behind him, bringing Leo into a headlock. "Ha, this loser lost. Even when Master Splinter was blindfolded he couldn't hit him."
Kara crossed her arms, grinning at him. "Considering the fact you're talking to someone who fights with a blindfold and judging by how loud you guys always are I wouldn't doubt any of you guys could hit him or me, and we've trained together so, yeah. It's a lot harder than it looks."
"Yeah? Betcha I could beat you right now with you being blindfolded and one hand tied behind my back."
"Bring it on Raphaelu-"
"Ahhhh! Brainfreeeeeze!"
Hearing it was Mikey's voice she turned her head towards Donnie's lab guessing they were hanging out together. "Well, that's my cue to leave." She said giving Raph a punch in the shoulder before running off towards the lab laughing at Raph.
"Always messing up my stuff.." She heard Donnie say just as she entered and smiled, seeing him. "Hey guys."
"Kara." Donnie shouted with a wide smile, a cloud of smoke appearing beside him. Kara squinted her eyes thinking the cloud looked in the shape of a heart and giggled.
"What's up?" April asked coming in behind her. "April." Donnie smiled seeing her but fell in disappointment seeing Casey Jones. "And Caassey.."
"Donatello." Casey Jones said.
"I came to see if you guys could look after this." April said bringing out the cat.
Donnie walked up to them to get a closer look at the cat.
"Awww! Look at youuuu!" Mikey yelled in a baby voice grabbing the cat and holding him out in his hands. "Coochie woochie woochie!" He sang while..doing something to the cat..but it seemed to enjoy it because she was purring non stop. Kara shrugged laughing at Mikey before looking back over at Donnie. "So, what do you say?"
Mikey brought her over to the table, the cat licking the icecream Mikey dropped on it. "Can we keep her?!"
"You know, Master Splinter is a rat." Donnie said while watching Mikey.
"Yeah, what if that cat goes nuts and attacks him? He could feed off his body for months."
"You know, there is something seriously wrong with you." Donnie said crossing his arms
"Are we talking about the same Master Splinter? A highly trained master in ninjitsu? I doubt a small tabby cat is going to overpower a six foot maybe seven foot rat with those kinds of skills." Kara said offended at Casey for thinking Master Splinter would be taken down so easily.
Casey Jones held his hands up in defeat. "That's right you better surrender." Kara narrowed her eyes at him but blinked hearing Mikey panicking by the table.
"Everything ok, Mikey?" April asked. Mikey turned around, his hands on the table. "Yeah yeah it's cold I mean cool everything is cool. Cool like icecream, icecreams cold." He laughed nervously before grabbing the cat and running off. They all looked at each other not sure what to make of it.
"So how did training go? I heard Leo got beat bad." She giggled walking out of the lab with Donnie and the others.
"Oh, you should of been there. Master Splinter was training us about fighting blind. It would of been interesting to watch you and Master Splinter spar blindfolded." Donnie said putting his arm around her shoulder.
"I can't believe I missed it." Kara pouted but smiled when Donnie kissed her cheek.
Seeing everyone else was in the kitchen she hurried inside moving to sit beside Donnie and noticed Mikey talking to himself inside the freezer then hugged himself and began making licking sounds.
"Mikey." Leo said to grab his attention making him slam the freezer shut and pressed himself against it. Everyone watched him, Kara laughing at his reaction. "Do we need to give you some alone time with the icecream?" Kara said laughing harder as some cereal fell over spilling all over Mikey.
"I didn't do it. I swear I never touched it and-"
"What're you babbling about?" Raph shouted annoyed.
Hearing a soft moan Kara looked over to see Master Splinter. He looked to be in pain. "Ugh, need ice..for my head..and possibly..a cheesesicle."
"Master Splinter, are you ok?" Kara asked immediately getting a zip lock bag to put the ice in for him but jumped hearing Mikey yell out that he can't do that.
"No? You..tell me..no?!" He yelled out in anger smacking Mikey away before getting on all fours. Kara jumped at this watching him chase after Mikey everyone rushing out of the way. "Master Splinter!" She shouted wondering why he was chasing Mikey. When he ran past her she gasped seeing his eyes were glowing red. "No..." her mind flashing back to when Rat King took control over him and forced them to fight one another.
"This is not helping my whole rat thing.." Casey Jones said his face showing pure fright while holding onto a stool.
When Master Splinter had him cornered in front of the fridge Kara brought out her taser, setting it to the lowest setting possibly and watched the others restrain him but it didn't do much good for he forced himself free. Standing ontop of the table he began to speak but something was off about his voice.
"I got what I came for. Soon New York and the world will be mi-ARRRRGH!" Kara used this opportunity to tase him from behind giving him a small shock before putting away. She watched as his eyes returned to normal and he fell over but she quickly caught him before he coud injure himself and gently laid him down. "I'm sorry Master.." She said quietly placing her hand on his head. "I'm sorry guys.." She looked up at them seeing them staring at her in shock but when they saw her sadness in her eyes they began to relax some.
Hearing him groan she immediately turned around as he began to sit up.
"Sensei, are you ok?!" Leo asked moving right beside her.
"What happened?!" April yelled out in surprise.
"The Rat King.." Kara said in a low voice staring right at Master Splinter. "He's returned..hasn't he?" She asked her eyes never leaving Master Splinter's. He looked her straight in the eye and nodded, his ears lowered to the side of his head. "Thank you, Kara..that was quick thinking. You managed to free me from his control for the time being.."
She didn't say anything but helped him off the table and into the livingroom.
"Wait, so there's a guy named The Rat King?!" Casey shouted in terror.
"Yeah..he was a scientist using the mutagen to create a mind reading serum..guessing one of his experiments went wrong he ended up able to communicate and control every rat..including Master Splinter but we defeated him."
"Or so we thought." Raph added in just as Mikey turned on the TV to the news.
"This is Jone Grody reporting live from Bleaker Street. where giant rats have emerged from the sewers. These revolting rodents are snatching people away on this addition of Grody to the Max ahh!" Hundreds of rats pounced on Jone Grody causing the camera to go offline.
"Giant..rats..Giant..rats!" Casey Jones said in despair sitting down on the couch.
"Maybe you should sit this one out, Casey" April placed her hand on his shoulder to comfort him.
"We could really use your help, Sensei. Last time you took that creep down with one punch."
"Last time was different, Leonardo. The Rat King has grown too powerful. I do not fear for myself but for what he could..force me to do..again." He closed his eyes but turned his head glancing towards Kara who looked away before stepping forward and in front of him. He looked up at him before wrapping her arms around him in a daughterly hug. She gave him a gentle squeeze before running out the lair. "Come on, guys." She shouted not bothering to look behind her knowing they would follow her.
Donnie, Mikey, Raph, and April were driving the patrol buggies, Mikey being bait to lure the giant rats away from people wearing a large ball of cheese on his head riding behind the buggies on his skateboard with a rope.
Casey was behind them on his bike wearing his vigilante outfit.
Lastly, Kara and Leo were in the Shellraiser. "Take a right at the next corner, Leo. The guys are on the other side." She said using the tracking device on her phone and the map in the Shellraiser. When he turned she could see a cars piled up like a barracade and she grinned when Leo slammed the Shellraiser into the cars moving them out of the way for the others."Sorry I'm late, guys!" Leo shouted staying in front of the group.
"Ahhh! They're gonna get me!" Mikey shouted before flipping onto the patrol buggies. One managed to jump onto the buggies forcing them to swerve while trying to get it off. Seeing this, Kara turned the garbage canon aiming at the giant rat and shot at it watching it fly off and hit another. "Ha! I'm getting better at thiwoooah!" The Shellraiser began to tip, surrounded by giant rats. Kara let out a startled yell as she began to lean over with the Shellraiser. "A little help here, guys?!" Leo shouted just as the Shellraiser was tipped over.
She opened the top hatch climbing out with Leo the three giant rats surrounding them. She and Leo got into a fighting stance just as Casey rounded the corner smacking into one of them and rode off one of the rats going after him.
Kara faced one rat while Leo the other. They both charged letting out their battle cries beginning to fight them off Leo dodging it's claws and fangs before slashing at it with his katana's bringing it down.
Kara was dodging as well but had a crazy idea. "Hope this works!" She shouted while bringing out her taser and setting it to a medium level. When the rat pounced at her she jumped backwards but not before pushing the button to turn the taser on and making a swiping motion, the water in front of her sparking alive, the rat dove nose first into it causing electricity to surge through his body, ten times worse with the added rain falling onto its body til finally, it sizzled and died.
Kara let go of the button and shouted in excitement. "Wooo! Did you see that?! That was awesome! I didn't think that would work but, yeah!" She looked at Leo with such excitement punching his shoulder adrenaline pumping through her veins. "Woo, wheres the next one?!" She looked over to see he had already taken care of his rat making her pout in disappointment.
"Don't worry, Kara, there are others just waiting for you to get at them." Leo chuckled patting her shoulder.
Once they lifted the Shellraiser right side up they drove off to meet the others and saw them surrounding a manhole. Climbing off Kara ran over to see what was wrong but noticed something. "..Where's Casey?" Donnie looked up at her, April still in his arms, and she knew then he was taken. Kara turned away in sorrow but clenched her fists. "Come on, we need to figure out a plan." She climbed back into the Shellraiser, the others taking the patrol buggies, and returned back to the lair.
"The Rat King peered into my mind to see what makes me unique. With that knowledge he will create an army of rat people."
Kara blinks in surprise looking at the others sitting around Master Splinter.
"We gotta stop him, Sensei." Raph stood up punching his fist into his hand.
"I told you he is too powerful..even for me."
"But Master Splinter if there's one time we could use your help it's now." Leo stood up this time hoping his plea would get across to his Sensei
"Enough!" Master Splinter snapped his walking stick on the floor surprising everyone. "I will not put you in danger again."
It was April's turn to stand up. "We believe in you, Sensei. We need your help and so does Casey."
"Master.." Kara started, staying sitting down where she was. "You are not alone in this..we are a family and we stick together helping one another..you don't have to fight this alone." Kara said turning her head to look at him, her eyes pleading for him to reach out to them just as much as they do to him but when he walked away she sighed softly and looked away. "Fine, we'll do this on our own then.." She stood up and walked away. "April, come with me." She said walking towards the lab. April nodded looking at her worriedly but followed suit.
Everyone was getting ready in their own way, even Kara. She was having April wrap her chest up while she did her hands. "This seems abit much for just the Rat King.." April said slowly while glancing at Kara in worry.
"For just him, it is, but you weren't there the last time when he took control over Master Splinter..when I had to fight him. If that happens again I can't hold back..this..this is just a comfort for me..kinda like armor." When she looked at April she had a distraught look on her face but she gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't look so worried, April. We'll get through this. We've been through much worse." She gave her a childish grin but when her expression didn't change she placed her hand on her shoulder. "Casey will be alright, he's a strong, stubborn kid..like a human Raph. He'll make it." April gave her a small smile and soft chuckle nodding in agreement. "Thanks, Kara."
Kara nodded in return putting her shirt back on once she had finished and slid her gloves on over her bandaged fingers. She flexed her fingers before meeting up with the others and heading for the Rat King's lair.
When they arrived there were hanging cages above the ground. "Wow..what use to be here? This place is huge.." Kara said quietly thinking they could actually have people living down here.
"There's Casey, he's alive." April said softly yet with relief and excitement. "And Irma?" Kara and April said in unison looking at one another.
"We can't let the humans see us, April. You will have to free them. Kara, you take care of the Rat King." She nodded and went to put her blindfold on but stopped when she saw a familiar face, a soft smile appearing on her face.
A hand lay on Leo's shoulder and when he turned around Master Splinter was behind them. "Sensei?"
"It is time the Rat King is dethroned."
"I knew you wouldn't let us down." Leo said with a smile on his face. Kara smiled and sighed softly, glad they were able to get to him in time. She blinked when he came up to her placing both of his hands on her shoulders. "If I should lose control..you do what you have to do." She nodded to him placing her hand against his before putting her blindfold on and heading towards the Rat King.
Able to see the domain she was able to climb to the top with ease. She snuck behind the table clenching her fists before going to take a step towards him but stopped when she heard a groaning voice. Lifting up her blindfold she covered her mouth in horror wishing she could unsee what she is seeing now: A disfigured human/mutant rat. "Please...help...me."
She looked away clenching her hand around her mouth willing herself not to hurl at the sight and tried to focus on the mission at hand but when she heard the Rat King laughing she looked up to see Master Splinter ontop of Leo. "You're mine now, Splinter. Now, destroy your sons. One by one."
She narrowed her eyes and went to lower the blindfold but heard Mikey yell something.
"Forget that, Rat King! Oh yeaaah! Icecream Kitty awaaaaay!" Mikey threw an ice container towards the Rat King and saw a blob made of icecream fly at him. "Is that a..cat?"
It landed on his face smacking its tiny little icecream paws while meowing angrily making the Rat King scream in pain. Kara held back a chuckle and when she saw Master Splinter was back to himself she went up behind him.
"Is that April's cat?" Donnie asked in surprise
"Absolutely not." Mike said crossing his arms.
She was just about to put him in a holding position when he threw the icecream kitty at her, it landing on her face. She sat up, setting it down beside her coughing, icecream had gotten inside her nose, and watched as Master Splinter ran after the fleeing Rat King.
Kara stood between three giant rats and the entrance to where the Rat King fled. "Not today boys." She said with a grin, pulling the blindfold back over her eyes, seeing them with the vibrations from their growling and snarling. "Psh, too easy." She chuckled, getting into a fighting stance and when they charged at her she took a step forward and raised her right arm to deliver a punch.
Hitting rat number one smack in the face she was able to push it into rat number two with the force of her punch. She jumped backwards when rat number three tried to slash at her with its claws. "Come on, buddy, you can do it. A little closer." She said in a baby voice while bringing out her taser and pepperspray twirling both of them in her hand like Raph does with his sais.
When all three of them charged she flipped her taser on using it on the first one then jumped to the side to face rat number two pepperspraying it right in the eyes hearing it shriek in pain using its paws to rub at its eyes then jumped over rat number two, slamming her body into rat number three causing it to stumble and fall over the edge.
Grinning victoriously she lifted part of her blindfold over one eye to see how the others were doing and almost bursted into a laughing fit at what Mikey was doing.
Having found a large piece of cheese he was holding it out to the giant rat saying, "Smell the cheeeese." Then punched it's face yelling, "Smell the cheese!" continuing to punch it in the face. "Come on, smell it!" She laughed and decided they were fine on their own before going to help April with freeing the captured people.
She climbed down from the top, grabbing the keys from the table, and when the cages began to lower to the ground she used the keys to unlock the cages pointing where the exit was watching the people scream and flee. She held her ears in pain, grunting softly at how loud they were noticing Irma and Casey weren't with them.
Guessing they were the last ones in the cave she waited beside April but the rope began to malfunction jerking the cage causing Casey and Irma to tumble in the cage. Irma losing her foot fell onto the door, which was unlocked for the Rat King to experiment on her and she screamed, beginning to fall to her death.
Kara lifted the blindfold some to see where she would fall and ran to save her, catching her in time before she could splat all over the floor.
Hearing her groan softly she looked down at Irma and smiled gently, remembering she was in Blind Bandit mode, disguising her voice.
"You ok, miss?" She asked Irma, her purple eye visible. Irma blushed deeply staring back at the mysterious man that saved her.
"Uhhh...yeah.." Irma's brain turned to mush unable to think of a response before Kara set her down, April coming to her side, her brain returning to normal seeing a familiar, close face.
"April! You found us! Did you follow the rat droppings? It has a unique aroma-"
"Not now, Irma!" Both April and Casey shouted ushering her to the exit.
Kara chuckled softly watching them before turning around to help the guys. She climbed onto what she guess to be the control center and went to climb to where Donnie was when she was headbutted in the back by another giant rat, falling onto the controls and ended up pushing a button that turned on a large fan. "Oh crud.." She turned around and fought it off trying to tase it but this one was smarter than the others. Slamming her body against its she used all her strength to force it to the ledge and threw it over, having it land on the bottom level where April and Casey were. She stared down at it making sure it wouldn't move til the sound of Donnie's screams caught her attention.
Turning around she saw him falling towards the giant fan and gasped before running to the controls trying to turn it off but when she looked up she saw Mikey got ahold of him. Sighing in relief she slumped to the ground in relief.
"Hurry, everyone run! We'll lock the do-" Kara stood up hearing April talk and saw that one rat fell onto the one she pushed over, waking it up, both of them now stalking towards April. She took a couple steps backwards before doing a run jump over the rails diving down body slam style onto one rat and Donnie bringing his staff down onto the others face both of them pushing the rats backwards away from April.
"You guys get everyone to safety. We got this covered." Donnie said to April while Kara was finally able to tase the rat and jumped up, doing a swing kick to it's face with a clean knock out. "Easy Peasy." She said with a soft chuckle looking at April and giving her a thumbs up.
"You always do." April said smiling at them both before leaving.
"Stay safe." Kara said softly watching April go but grinned knowing Casey was with her and that he'd protect her at all costs. Looking back at Donnie she grinned wider pumping her fist. "Let's clean up the trash." Donnie grinned in return and both returned to battle.
There were less than a handful left and it seemed everyone had a rat to fight, including her, but this one was bigger than the others. She circled around it, its eyes following her growling at her in an intimidating way. She groaned wondering why she had to pick the bigger one but clenched her fists tightly before charging, the rat letting out a snarl and running up to her as well.
Kicking it across the face she tried to get it on its hind legs to to expose its vulnerable stomach but no matter how hard she threw her punches it wouldn't back down. Grunting in annoyance she stepped back and brought out her pepperspray but it used its tail to knock her off her feet and ended up dropping the pepperspray. "No!" She shouted watching it roll out of arms reach and down a crack.
Narrowing her eyes in anger she shot up to her feet and began doing combo punches on its face. "You have any idea how much that costs?!" She yells lowering herself to the ground and swept her leg under one of its paws before bring her knee up and slamming it into it's chin finally raising it up on it's hind legs. Immediately bringing out her taser she jabbed it into its stomach electrocuting it til it passed out.
Blowing invisible smoke from the tip she blinked for a sec in thought. "...Not that much, actually." Shrugging her shoulders she looked up to see Mikey being cornered without his weapon. "I'm coming Mik...ey?"
Blinking in surprise she watched as the Icecream Kitty jumps out of nowhere and begins to attack the rat to save Mikey. The side of her mouth twitched into a smile watching before shaking her head to focus back on the fight climbing onto one of the cages to help Mikey but saw it fall over and the others take care of it.
Thinking the fight was finally over she sat down on the cage, her leg dangling off the side. "I think that's all the rats." She heard Raph say. Scanning the area she had to agree but one question remained.
"Has Master Splinter defeated the Rat King yet.." She said in a low tone glancing at the knocked out rat that pay beside her.
"But what about Sensei?" She heard Leo ask.
"All we can do is wait, Leo." Kara said to him and the others.
And so they did all of the brothers sat together while Mikey finally confessed what happened with Icecream Kitty making Donnie furious for spilling icecream in his beaker of mutagen. Kara chuckled softly rolling her head backwards and closing her eyes to relax but not before glancing over at the unconscious rat. "Hmm..I wonder what it would be like to have it as a pet...nah, that would be ridiculous..or would it?"
She continued staring at it the thought becoming more tempting to take it home and train it til she was snapped out of her thoughts by footsteps. "Shh, guys...someones coming." She said in a loud whisper slowly standing up.
The others jumped down beside her watching the entrance Master Splinter jumped into and waited anxiously to see who it was. After several long seconds Master Splinter's head pops up before he jumped out landing safely on his feet.
The guys whooped and hollered before climbing down to greet and congratulate their mentor and father.
"I knew you could beat him!" Leo shouted in excitement.
Kara climbed down after the others and stood a few feet back watching them and smiled softly before averting her eyes feeling Master Splinter's on her. She closed her eyes knowing he was walking up to her and sighed softly. "I'm sorry I doubted you for that split second, Master.."
"You do not need to apologize, my child. I was so distracted by my fear of hurting you and my sons again that I doubted myself yet you, my sons, and April gave me hope..thank you." He hugged her close in a fatherly way making her smile and return the hug. "Now, let's go home before I make a horrible decision!" She said with a large smile making everyone grin at her leaving the place, and the Rat King, behind for good.
