Another night.
Another fight.
Kara sighed trying her best not to fall asleep while driving home but it was getting quite difficult. A new fighter had entered the ring and despite he being the same size as her they were both equally matched. The fight ending at round thirteen with her almost losing but she managed to surprise the guy with her willpower and strength.
"Ugh, never thought that fight would end." She groaned in pain at her busted lip, swollen cheek, bruises and cuts on her torso, shoulder, and arms. "I should avoid the guys tonight, especially Donnie. He's going to flip out."
"Are you pulling my sai?" She heard a familiar voice shout not too far from her.
"Oh no..oh no no no no." She continued saying no while trying to turn herself around making sure not to drive into oncoming traffic but when Raph ran out of the alleyway in front of her she drove by a car and ducked down.
When she felt the coast was clear she poked her head out only to have Casey Jones run past the car making her immediately duck her head back down. "He didn't see me. He didn't see me. He didn't see me.." She repeated in her head til she slowly peeked out.
Seeing no one around, she sighed in relief before continuing on her drive home. About two blocks down she saw an eerie light ahead and, curiosity getting the better of her, decided to check it out.
She slowed down at the entrance to see a massacre of dismembered kraang bodies everywhere. Seeing Raph and Casey ahead of her she slowly backed up to the corner, listening to their conversation.
"Who could of done this?" She heard Raph ask aloud.
"And it keeps getting worse." Casey started, lifting his mask his head. "They took the plutonium. What do you think they need it for?"
"Plutonium?" She mouthed in confusion before listening in some more.
"No idea, but whoever it is packs some serious firepower. Let's just hope they're on our side."
Thinking this was the perfect time to escape she went to back up some more not noticing the sleeping cat by the trashcans behind her til she heard a shrieking cat. Jumping in surprise she accelerated more than she should of and drove past the alleyway shouting "Sorries" to the already fleeing cat and bumped into a bench causing her to fly off her scooter and do a flip over onto the bench.
"Yeah." She moans squeezing her eyes in pain. "Let's add more to the list of body parts that aren't in pain!"
"Kara?"
She froze hearing Raph and Casey Jones speaking and leaned her head back to see them walking towards her. She sighed knowing she failed in Operation: Sneak Away and slowly sat up, climbing off the bench to her scooter. "Hey guys, what's up?"
"We're, woah, what happened to you?" Casey Jones asked seeing her. "You look like you got into a serious fight. Can't imagine what the other guy looks like." He laughed while Raph took one look at her and went over to make sure she hadn't broken anything.
"You know Donnie will have my case if he knows I didn't make sure you didn't break anything." He said making her sigh but give him a pat on the shoulder.
"I'm fine, really. Just some surface wounds. I promise and you're right, Jonesy." She grins pumping her fist. "It was a close call but in the end, I won."
"Woah, seriously?!" Casey Jones grabbed the sides of his head in disbelief.
"Yeah, remember? I told you I work in an underground fight club." Watches his face waiting for the clocks to work in his mind and grins when his face lights up, remembering.
"Oh yeah! I still can't believe it though! That is so awesome!" He laughs giving her back a hard smack making her cringe and fall over in pain. "Ngggh!..Whyyy?"
He laughs some more til Raph does the same thing to make and grins watching him fall over beside her. "Heh, that was pretty fun to watch. You coming over, Kara?"
"Not this time, think I'm going to head home and let myself heal. Wouldn't want to freak Donnie out." She slowly got up and picked her scooter back up. "I'll see you guys later." She waved before driving away to her place.
Inside her home she was relaxing with a bubble bath, and some soothing music. Sinking lower with a long sigh she closed her eyes feeling her cheeks getting warm with the heat.
"Thiis is the life." She yawned thinking her night was over but, as usual, she was wrong.
Hearing her phone go off she sighed in annoyance creating air bubbles from the water before sitting up straight now having a bubble beard, making her giggle and wipe it away as well as her hands and grabbed her phone, leaning over the tub as she read the message, seeing it was from Raph.
"Slash is back. Casey and I just ran into him and his new partner the Newtralizer. About to inform the others."
She blinked in surprise, having a serious look on her face before responding back.
"I'll be over soon.."
Pushing send she immediately climbed out of the tub, unplugged the water to drain, and climbed into her shower to rinse off the bubbles before drying herself off and going to her room to change, after patching herself up of course.
Making sure she has her gear she clenched her gloved fists before leaving for the lair.
Using her scooter, she drove through the tracks to get there faster. Arriving at the lair ten minutes flat she ran into the lair and heard them speaking.
"Those two goons are nothing, they lucked out, won't happen again." She could hear Casey Jones say and walked into the kitchen to see them.
"Can we focus people? We got two crazy mutants blowing up the streets!" Hearing Leo trying to stop whatever argument Raph and Casey were about to get into she decided to intervene.
"Raph told me everything so far. Did I miss anything?"
"No, we were just thinking of a plan." Raph said to her crossing his arms. "I think we should shadow the kraang til they show up."
"How so?" She asked curiously raising a brow.
"Easy." Donnie began to explain while typing on his computer, "Since Slash and Newtralizer are using Plutonium to power their teleportation we can look for traces of residual radiation. Mikey, would you stop eating the kraang locations!?"
"Hold on, D, I'm about to get the high score." Mikey said while playing with his controller making Kara giggle watching Donnie take it away from him.
"So where would the kraang be at next, Donnie?" She asks walking to the other side of the table watching him.
"By my calculations they should be at..." While typing he glanced up at her and his eyes bulged out seeing the bandaids and patches. "Holy Talito, what happened to your face?!"
Kara blinked in surprise seeing the attention now on her and sighed, slumping her shoulders. "I had a fight tonight, ok? It didn't go as smoothly as it usually did but I won." She gave him her grin but when his expression didn't change she sighed again. "I'm fine, nothing is broken. Now, quit worrying about me we have bigger problems to deal with. So, come on, where will they be?"
Donnie stared at Kara for a minute before going back to his work and pointing at the map. "Here." Everyone gathered around to see the location and left to prepare.
She kissed him ontop of his head and smiled. "Thanks, but don't worry, you should see the other guy." She grinned playfully making him smile and kissed him once more before leaving with him to catch up with the others.
Using the fire escape on the side of an apartment building Kara and the guys climbed to the other side to get a good look at the building across from it where the kraang are suppose to be located at.
Kara glanced behind her at Casey Jones and offered a hand to him but he refused, pulling himself over and stood up.
"Think this is the place?" Leo asked though just as he asked that the all too familiar sound of lasers flashed inside the building and a kraang droid flew out the window only to grab it's weapon and jump back into the fight making Kara chuckle. "Can't tell me that's not determination."
"Either that or there's one banging party going on in there." Mikey said with a grin, leaning forward.
"Come on, guys, let's do this." Casey Jones grinned while pulling his mask down but Raph grabbed his shoulder to stop him.
"Woah, woah, hold up! Who invited you on this stake out anyways?"
"Casey Jones invited himself!" Casey Jones said with pride while pointing at himself.
"Come on, Raph, he can handle himself. We could use the extra hands just in case. He'll be fine he is Casey Jones after all." She grinned before climbing to the rooftop to jump across to the kraang building.
Raph sighed in annoyance watching Casey Jones follow after her then the others before joining them.
They all landed inside the building, Donnie catching Kara when she dropped down making her smile. She giggled when she saw Casey Jones drop down and lose his footing then try to act like nothing happened. She jumped down from his arms and looked ahead to see the Newtralizer and Slash up to something with the controls.
"Woah, it's the Newtralizer. I totally named that guy." Mikey smiled to himself
"Actually, I named him." Donnie corrected him while watching them. Mikey used his hand to mimic what he said in an annoying voice.
"Hit him hard and fast." Leo said getting into position, Kara following his movements.
"Except for you, Casey. You hold back." Raph said just before he and Leo jumped to attack. Kara looked at him and sighed softly following after them leaving a frustrated Casey Jones behind.
Mikey was the first to attack, swinging his nunchuks around but before he could get a hit in Newtralizer spun around, hitting him with his tail, smacking him away. Next was Leo who went for an attack from above only for his attack to get blocked then get thrown on the ground and kicked away.
Raph came in swinging his sais at Newtralizer but he was evading them and when Raph let his guard down Newtralizer grabbed him by the head and threw him over to the lower level.
Kara ran up to him from behind and climbed up on his back doing a flip over him and kicked him in the face doing a roll, lifting herself back on her feet. "Haven't forgotten me, have you? I still owe you for last time, newt."
He shrieked at her before they charged each other Newtralizer doing a spin to knock her away with his tail but she ducked down to one knee and put her weight on her hands doing a sweep under his legs causing him to stumble backwards and she jumped to her feet giving him a flying punch, sending him flying down with the others.
"Eager for another beat down, Donatello?!" She heard Slash say and ran to the ledge to see him raising his mace above his head to strike Donnie. She glared and placed her foot on the railing to intervene but saw a puck fly at his face.
Seeing Casey Jones going to Donnie's rescue she smiled and turned her attention to the Newtralizer only to see Raph having at him and nodded but when she heard Casey Jones yelling she decided it was time to join in and jumped down towards them, bringing out her taser.
She jumped at him turning her taser on but when he teleported she flew over Raph and landed on her back besides Casey Jones letting out a gasp feeling the wind knocked out of her. She rolled onto her stomach wincing in pain and slowly stood up to see Newtralizer throwing his shield at them.
When it hit just above them Newtralizer chuckled and both he and Slash teleported away. She looked up at it and saw it beginning to flash causing Donnie to shout, "Holy Mackerel, ruuun!"
They all ran to the windows, Kara being behind Casey Jones and noticed he was stuck. She pulled out his stick and pushed him out with it, tossing it behind him and jumped out just in time for the bomb to go off and the building to explode, landing beside Casey.
She slowly stood up looking over at Casey Jones to make sure he was alright only to see him yelling, scared. She followed his gaze and saw large rubble falling towards them and went to grab him to flee but Raph threw himself at them pushing them out of harms way. She groans and stands up once more feeling as if her body was a punching bag.
Leo and Donnie went over to see if they were alright, Donnie helping her up and holds her close before making sure she wasn't badly hurt but could tell by her expression she was in pain. "Here, I'll carry you."
Before she could answer, she was interrupted by Raph's yelling.
"Cool?! You would of been flatten if it wasn't for me!"
"I've done the same for you, Raph." Casey Jones stood up glaring at Raph.
"Oh yeah? When was that?"
"Like, dozens of times."
"If you didn't slow us down they would of never gotten away."
"...Are you kidding me?!"
"Why? Do you think this is a joke?"
Casey Jones and Raph were having a glare off and before Kara could say anything Casey Jones pushed past Raph. "You know what, Raph? Forget this, I'm out of here!"
"Good.. just go!"
"Casey, wait! You don't have to go." She and Leo went to run after him but she froze, groaning in pain causing Donnie to see if she was ok. She looked over at Raph seeing his usual crossed arms and angry look on his face.
"What?" He asked seeing everyone was looking at him. "If he's going to act like a baby I don't want his help."
"Not cool, Raph! People have feelings. Real, squishy feelings."
"Well, I'm not people."
"That maybe true but are you sure he's the one acting like a baby and not you?" She said to him causing him to glare at her and get in her face. "You saw what happened! He stormed off-"
"After you pretty much told him he was useless to this team." She cut him off, crossing her arms. "You think none of us haven't notice the way you've been treating him? No wonder he walked off! You think of him as weak and defenseless when you haven't even given him a chance to fight and see what he's capable of."
"What chance can I give if he manages to fatally injure himself or worse?!
She was taken aback by Raph's sudden outburst. That's when realization struck her. "Wait, are you wo-"
"We don't have time for this! We need to figure out what they're up to before they cause more damage!" Raph shouted before storming off but Kara noticed a pinkish tint on his cheeks and grinned.
Donnie placed his hand on her shoulder. "Are you going to be ok to continue?"
"Would you believe me if I told you yes?" She gave him a weak smile but blinked in surprise when he turned around and pointed at his back. "Hop on. I know better than to ask you to go home but promise me you won't try to fight more."
"Heh, that works." She smiled and climbed onto his back before following the others.
Everyone stood ontop of a rooftop, Donnie having his T-Phone out.
"This had better be good, Donnie. What're we doing up here?" Leo asked him while Kara hopped off his back.
"We're gonna listen in on everything Slash and the Newtralizer say. While I was wrestling with Slash I slipped a Spyroach on him. We'll be able to hear everything through my T-phone!" He said raising it up before rubbing the back of his head and giggling like a dork. "Hehehehehe, yeah, I know, awesome, right? I'm smart." *
Raph slapped his back with an approving grin on his face causing Donnie to lose his balance. "Nice, and here I thought you were just getting beat up."
When Donnie regained his balance he gave him an annoyed look before standing up straight and pushing some buttons. "Yeah, well uh, I was multitasking."
Kara covered her mouth in a fit of giggles at them before hearing the Newtralizer speak, seeing him through the camera.
"The kraang orb revealed a new weapon. They're testing it out on the docks tonight at Midnight. Mnaaaaa we can use it to wipe out the kraang once and for all. We can destroy this whole, stinking city."
"And every innocent human with it, are you crazy?! I'm here to take out kraang not people!"
"Why should I care? I'm not people."
"Hmm, sounds oddly familiar." Mikey thought out loud making Kara grin. "If I didn't know any better, Mikey, you just read my mind." Raph glared at them both gritting his teeth which only made her grin bigger.
"If it comes down to it, I won't take any chances, brother."
Ending the feedback from the Spyroach everyone brought out their weapons.
"Ok, this just got real." Kara agreed with Leo and clenched her fists feeling the leather tighten around her palm and the cold metal against her knuckles.
"Let's end this." Raph said while twirling his sais all of them running to the docks.
Maneuvering over some metal crates they were in searching for the area where they'd reveal the weapon. Noticing there were more kraang than she'd realize would be there she began to feel nervous about her ninja skills and winced when her body reminded her of the bruises and painful, throbbing back.
Moving out of sight as a mini flying kraang ship flew over them she watched it go by before joining the others seeing they had found where the testing area.
Watching closely she could see a portal in one of the kraang's hand and took mental notes on how the other two grabbed an end of it and pulled it apart to widen the portal hole and out came the weapon.
"Is that the new weapon they were talking about?" Mikey whispered out loud as the portal closed. "It doesn't look like much."
Just as soon as he said that the machine turned on as it's legs began to rise up having the thing tower over them and the crates. "Heh, nevermind.." Mikey said with a nervous smile.
"Grr..come on, let's move before they notice we're here." She said turning to find a different place to hide but was grabbed by Leo.
"No, wait, they haven't noticed us yet. We need to see what this thing is capable of." She sighed knowing she was going to regret this but stayed with them watching the kraang test it out.
"Kraang, over here. Move in the direction which is known as this way." A kraang droid said while waving to get it's attention.
"Kraang targeting target." It said over the loud speaker as the machine whirred, aiming it's pointy laser things at the crate and it shot out lightning, destroying the crate as well as the top half of the kraang droid. The alien itself fell out of what was left of the droid and gave it a thumbs up for success.
"That is what is known as awesome." Another kraang droid said while pumping it's fist before it and the rest wiggled their fingers up at the weapon.
"Well..first off, seems like our culture is rubbing off on them and second, we've seen what it can do so now let's think of a plan to get rid of it!" She hissed at them feeling like they were out in the open.
"Here's the plan." Leo began but stopped when they saw the Newtralizer appear ontop of the weapon only to get electrocuted and fall off of it.
"Wow, they really thought of everything.." She thought aloud watching Slash fight off the kraang from him.
"Slash, keep the kraang busy. I'm going for the walker." Newtralizer said just before running after it.
"Krang attack all non kraang. Repeat, attack all.." Before the kraang could finish his warning Slash shot it with it's own laser gun.
"I guess this is a good time to join in then?" Kara said aloud watching Leo jump down off the crates and attack the kraang below him.
While Raph took care of Newtralizer Kara began climbing up the legs of the Walker but blinked when she heard an explosion and Mikey flying through the air, screaming. "Maybe I should of went home.."
When it began moving she held on tightly while inching herself towards the top. "This feels so weird..." Seeing some movement behind her she turned her head seeing Newtralizer climbing to the top of some crates and knew he was trying to get to the top first.
Narrowing her eyes in determination she began climbing faster til she finally reached the top and grabbed onto the edge but while she was hoisting herself up she heard Donnie behind her and turned to see he was about to throw a bomb at it.
"Donnie, wait! I'm on it!" She screamed while kicking her legs. His eyes widened seeing her dangling on the edge and went to grab at it but it was already midair. Luckily, the kraang saw it and blasted it with it's laser before it could make contact.
Sighing in relief she pushed herself up just in time to see Newtralizer jump onto the electric pole, bending it, and causing the large screws to fly off.
"Oh, no you don't!" She shouted before giving him a flying kick to the face and slid towards the edge, stopping herself with her hands and stood up into her fighting position. "I won't hand this over so easily, newt."
Newtralizer growled at her and charged bringing out it's knife and began slashing at her but she managed to duck and dodge giving him a few jabs into his side then did a dodge roll when he swung his tail at her, the sharp object on the end slamming into where she was before.
She stood up wincing in pain and brought out her taser. "My back is killing me..I need to end this quick."
Noticing she was out of breath and looked to be injured he grinned before charging at her once more but when she went to stab him with the taser he quickly side stepped and jammed his elbow into her back as hard as he could causing her to let out a gasp of pain. Using this time he swung his tail under her feet making her trip and roll to the edge of the Walker but she grabbed the edge before completely falling off of it.
"Kara!" Donnie shouted watching the fight the whole time seeing Newtralizer pick her up by her shirt, lifting her up in the air. "You are becoming a nuisance, human. Stay out of my sight." He said before throwing her over the edge.
She let out a scream while trying to reach for the edge but missed by an inch.
"I'm coming, Kara!" Donnie shouted running at full speed towards her and jumped with all his might, reaching his arms out and caught her just before she could hit the ground. Donnie curled in a ball around her as they hit the ground, sliding into some crates. "Are you hurt?" He asked worriedly cupping her face in his hands.
"I'll be alright..but I think we have much bigger problems.." She said while looking up at the Walker as Newtralizer took control over it. "Stay back. You're in no condition to fight anymore."
She opened her mouth to protest but sighed, knowing he was right. "Ok, fine, just be careful." She watched him run off to help out the others when she began to climb onto of a pile of crates to stay out of harms way hearing Newtralizer laughing like a maniac.
When she reached the top she saw the guys backed up in a corner and narrowed her eyes climbing another level to try and jump at the Walker and fight Newtralizer once more but before she could take another step she heard something all too familiar.
"Goongalla!" Casey Jones shouted before dropping a hockey puck down and hit it towards the Walker hitting three more at it, the pucks exploding around it.
"Casey?! You're back?!" She could hear Raph say from up there and smiled watching them.
"I'd figure I'd wait for you all to be in trouble and then I'd make an awesome, heroic entrance. Pretty cool, right?" Kara chuckled at Casey before climbing back down and moving somewhere safe while they took care of the Newtralizer and the weapon.
Sitting down near the water she watched the waves as her eyes began to get heavy til she fell asleep without realizing it.
When she opened her eyes again she noticed she was back in the lair and tried to sit up only to wince and lay back down.
"Do not try to move yet, my child. Donatello brought you back here telling me of your injuries so I put some ointment on your back to sooth the pain." Master Splinter walked up to her placing a gentle hand on her head making her smile
"Oh, thank you Master Splinter. Wait...but then that means..." She looked down at herself noting she was topless with her shirt under her and her bra unhooked. Her eyes widened and her face burned red at the thought of the guys seeing her like this.
"Calm down, Kara. I have sent them all to their rooms so as to not disturb you. You may stay here for the night til you are well enough to stand." He said just before leaving to grab her a pillow and blanket.
Making sure she was comfortable, the blanket covering her up she smiled up at him and wished him a goodnight before he left to his room.
Once he was gone she began to close her eyes to sleep again but heard a soft sound and opened her eyes to see Donnie kneeling in front of her with a warm smile on his face. Returning the smile she closed her eyes as he stroked her cheek and leaned over giving her a kiss on the lips. "Sleep well, Kara. I'll be close by if you need anything."
Nodding her head, her eyes slowly closing, she gave him another smile before falling asleep. He gave her another kiss before leaving to his room but stopped at his doorway, looking back at her and spoke in a soft voice. "I love you." He said before walking into his room and closing his door halfway to listen for her in case she needed anything before going to bed.
