Annd welcome back to season finale part 2! Haha, thought I had left you guys hanging, huh? Well, that's why I have a rope with me! *laughs* Anyways..ON WITH THE STORY!
"Invasion! That's right folks the aliens are back. Robots are emerging from portals, UFOs are everywhere, a giant alien brain is stomping through the east village!"
The news report was cut off by Prime shooting mutagen at the news crew and the channel went to static.
"Yeah, I'd say we're basically doomed." Donnie said as he, Mikey, and April were watching the news while Dragan was trying to comfort April's dad the best she could.
"This is all my fault. If I hadn't brought Irma to the lair.." April lowered her head in shame.
"You can't blame yourself April." Donnie tried to comfort her.
"Yeah, we can do that for you." Mikey said with his arm around her til Donnie hit him.
"This was imminent anywyes, April." Dragan said as she gently rubbed her father's back in a comforting way trying to calm down his whimpering. "It was only a matter o' time before they found the lair anywyes. Let's nae focus on the past. We need tae geit everyone together first, then we'll come up wi a plan tae tak back orr hoom."
"I'm gonna fix this." April said determined. "I'm gonna find your brothers, Casey, and Kara."
"You can't go out there, April! You have to stay with me..I'm scared." He whispered into his knees, curling up in a ball.
Dragan gently patted his back wondering if he went through something traumatic before. "Sir,I promise we will keep your daughter safe. Nothing will harm her but ya need tae calm down an be strong for her, ok? She needs your support richt now." She spoke in a soft voice as he looked up at her in surprise but nodded and took a deep breath.
"Y-You're right..I'm s-sorry.." Kirby muttered before clearing his voice to speak louder. "I'm sorry, April."
Hearing Mikey's phone go off they all turned to him.
"Woah, Raph just sent me a text. "On our way. Being chased by Kraang Prime :(" Oh, guess they'll be a few minutes late."
Kara, Casey, and Raph screamed as they ran through the streets opposite of where they were suppose to go due to Kraang Prime chasing after them while firing it's mutagen blaster.
"I'm so glad I'm wearing running shoes! I'm so glad I'm wearing running shoes! I'M SO GLAAAHHH!" Kara screamed as she rolled out of the line of fire, barely missing getting hit by mutagen. "Why can't she do something else other than chase us?!" She screamed at the top of her lungs in rage completely ignoring what Prime was saying.
"Raph! What is going on?!" Casey shouted to him as they both caught up to his speed.
"The Kraang perfected the mutagen. They wanna turn Earth into Dimension X!"
"Oh, wicked."
"Wicked?! Are you crazy?!" Raph yelled at him.
"Believe me, Casey, no you don't! They completely destroyed their world and are wanting to do the same here!" Kara huffed out feeling as though her lungs were on fire. "Gotta keep running. Come on, Kara. One two one two. Everybody, move! Out of the way!" She shouted at the people as they ran through the street trying to find safety.
Raph and Kara jumped over some cars, Kara stumbling to her feet but she pushed herself back up to catch up with the others but was pushed away as Prime threw some cars their way, Raph pushing her and Casey out of harms way but another was flying right towards them. Casey and Raph moved themselves on top of Kara to protect her as it landed, all of them screaming as if this was the end but when they felt nothing they looked up to see the car piled on top of two more cars beside them.
Crawling out from under the car pile Kara heard something and looked up to see Prime pointing it's blaster at them. Her eyes widen and she froze feeling it truly was the end til suddenly a shot was heard then an explosion that hit Prime. Kara looked to see where the shot came from and saw heavily armed men in heavily armored uniforms enter the scene with soldiers and tanks. "The..the army?" She said in surprise but had a half smile on her face.
"Pathetic humans!" Prime screamed staring at them
"Fire!" One ordered as they began firing bazooka's at Prime.
Taking the chance while Prime was distracted, Raph grabbed Kara's arm and helped her to her feet with Casey beside him. "Now's our chance, run." Raph said just before doing with Kara right behind him.
"But it was just getting awesome!" Casey shouted disappointed that he couldn't watch but followed behind them anyways.
"I don't know about you but I don't want to be here when things get worse!" Kara shouted back at Casey going a different route to April's
"...True." Casey agreed and sped up to catch up to them.
Dragan splashed some water onto April's passed out dad and gently shook him awake.
When he opened his eyes everyone was around him, worried.
"Oh, I just had the worst dream: The Kraang were trying to invade." He said as he held his head able to remember.
"Don't worry, Mr. O'Neil, reality is way worse than your nightmare." Mikey said with a smile obviously trying to cheer him up but ended up getting smacked upside the head by Donnie.
"Ya know how everyone has a little voice in their heids that tells them tae keep quiet?..I don't think ye hae one, Mikey." Dragan said but blinked hearing a door open and placed her hand on her hilt getting ready for a fight but relaxed when she saw it was Casey, Kara, and Raph.
"We gotta move. Kraang Prime is stomping this way." Raph immediately said looking at everyone.
"Raaph!" Mikey shouted as he went to hug his brother making him smile. "Aw, I missed you too little brother."
"Donnie! Dragan!" Kara smiled excitedly happy to see them safe and sound pulling both of them in a hug.
Dragan smiled and gave her a hug before moving aside to let the love birds have their moment.
Donnie squeezed her tightly laying his head against hers. "I'm so glad your safe." He whispered to her making her bury her head in his shoulder feeling a heavy weight off her shoulders being in his arms.
April ran to Casey, hugging him. "Casey! Oh, I was scared I lost you forever."
"No worries, red, your man is here." Casey said with a smile.
Donnie kissed Kara's forehead before stepping back and looking at the others. "We can't leave just yet. Leo is still out there."
"What?!" Kara and Raph shouted at once as they looked at them for an explanation Raph to his brothers while Kara to Dragan.
"Long story bro." Mikey began. "Basically-"
The sound of glass shattering interrupted Mikey as everyone turned, time seemingly slowing down as Leo flew through the window, glass shards surrounding him. Everyone's eyes widened as they stood frozen, Dragan cupping her hands over her mouth in horror as Leo landed on the coffee table, breaking it into pieces and sliding right under their feet.
"Leo!" Dragan and Raph screamed as everyone ran to his aid.
Mikey and Raph sat him up to check what damage had been done.
"He's still breathing!" Raph told everyone.
"Dude, his shell is cracked." Mikey's voice broke seeing his brother in this state.
"Come out turtles!" Everyone heard the voice of Tigerclaw outside. "We know you're in there."
Dragan slowly walked up to the window, placing her hand onto the broken glass, staring down at them. Seeing them and knowing it was them that did this to Leo..she clenched her hand tightly on the glass, blood seeping down onto the shard. Feeling a hand on her shoulder she sharply turned her head to see Kara giving her a worried look.
"Come on..we..we have to go." Her voice was shaking whether from anger or pain it was hard for her to tell but Dragan knew Kara was feeling the same way she was. Dragan turned to see footbots flying through the window and narrowed her eyes before pushing Kara aside and brought out her sword, slicing them in half before they got a chance to enter. Helping Kara to her feet she nodded and they ran ahead as more footbots came.
Dragan rushed in front of Kara and sliced it in two before kicking away the remains to make way for the others.
Donnie pushed open the door and looked around to make sure it was clear when Rahzaar landed in front of them. Ready to attack, Donnie held out his weapon but blinked when he heard Mikey scream, "This is for my brother!" Before throwing April's couch on top of Rahzaar.
Mikey landed in front of them and they ran away to find cover. Dragan was slowing her pace down as Tigerclaw fired at them and she held out her weapon to fight him but blinked when Kara grabbed her arm dragging her behind.
"I know, Dre! I want to beat them up too but our priority is Leo's safety!" Kara said tears brimming at the corner of her eyes but she blinked them away.
Donnie threw smokebombs at Tigerclaw momentarily blinding him giving them the opportunity to escape.
"Hurry! This way!" Mr. O'Neil shouted pushing his way to the front and running ahead to a yellow, hippy van. Everyone slowed down as they openly stared at the..vehicle.
"What..the heck is that?" Raph asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
"It's my old party wagon. Back in my hipster days. Hehe, groovy." Mr. O'Neil being the dad he is did the peace sign when suddenly mutagen spilled all over him.
Kraang Prime came out from behind the corner and was laughing as it began to walk towards them.
"Mr. O'Neil!" Kara shouted as Dragan pulled her away from him.
"Not again!" April shouted watching her dad transform once again, Casey pulling her away as they all climbed into the back of the van.
"Floor it, Jones!" Raph pulled the door closed once everyone was in.
Casey caught the keys as they fell from their hiding place and turned the key in the ignition before slamming his foot onto the gas but not before mutated Mr. O'Neil jumped onto the van to get to them.
Prime began firing the mutagen at them but Casey was able to evade and drove into an alleyway where Prime wasn't able to get to them.
"Gah! I'll get you all!" Prime shouted as they made their escape.
"I knew those guys wouldn't last long.." Kara lowered her head before looking up at April. "I'm sorry April.."
Casey found a safe place to park and hide for the moment. Raph burst through the doors, jumping out. "We gotta go find Splinter!" Kara followed after him with Donnie and April behind her.
"No way! What about Leo?"
"We shouldn't move him." Donnie informed Mikey.
"He can stay with me. I'm going back to search for my family." Casey said.
Dragan stayed in the van and looked over at the brother's with a soft smile. "I'll watch over Leo, go look for your father."
"Ok, but we meet back at this spot." April told him making him smile.
"You got it red." He winked at her as she closed the door and backed out leaving them.
Upon entering the Lair Kara was in shock at how much damage had been done. Everything was destroyed. She walked further in as Raph called out for their Sensei. Stepping on something that sounded like glass she looked down and saw "Glasses?" She picked them up but blinked seeing Irma's head not too far from her feet. "What the?! What happened?"
"Long story.." Donnie said quietly which she knew not to ask anymore.
April placed her fingers to the side of her with her eyes closed. "He's not here. I..I don't sense him."
"We gotta move. Everyone gather one meaningful thing you want to take with you. First, we find Splinter then we get out of town."
Kara stood in place taking in all the destruction of her second home able to see memories of all of them together even recent ones when she first met Dragan. She couldn't help but smile until the sounds of April groaning in pain snapped her back to reality, her smile disappearing.
"April, what's wrong?" Kara moved to her as April held her head in pain.
"Master Splinter..I can sense him..Ahh! He's close!" April said before running off.
"Let's go!" Raph and the others followed after her, Kara head to head with April, feeling something was horribly wrong, making her stomach twist in knots making her nervous.
"This way." April turned to her left and saw a dead end ahead of them.
"Now I will tear you to pieces."
Kara recognized the voice as Shredder's and her eyes widened when Master Splinter landed in their view and saw he was fighting Shredder.
"Sensei!" Mikey shouted as them and Kara stopped in front of the bars that separated them from their Sensei.
"Go! leave this place!" Master Splinter shouted at them as he held off Shredder.
"Fitting that your sons are here to see you fall." Shredder said just before kicking Splinter.
"You can do it, Master Splinter!" April shouted beside Kara grabbing onto the bars.
"Take him down! Take him down!" Raph shouted along side April.
Kara watched, helpless as Shredder was beginning to get the upperhand in battle. "Master Splinter looks exhausted..no! He will prevail! He's got to!" She clenched the bars as Shredder broke a ball of blinding powder in Splinter's eyes causing him to stumble.
When Shredder went for the finishing blow she grinned when she saw Splinter was calm and knew he was fighting blind on purpose. Adjusting his footing Splinter leaned forward, both his index fingers out as Shredder was midair and when they touched Shredder's armor, he was blown away by a gust of wind.
"Now, we need to find a way to get out of here." She heard Master Splinter say.
"Yeah!" Kara shouted excitedly, squeezing her eyes shut. "I knew he could do it! I shouldn't-" Seeing an unfamiliar figure ahead of Splinter her eyes snapped open and she lifted her head up. "Noo!"
Everyone jumped in surprise at Kara's sudden outburst til they heard their Sensei's scream in pain and watched him fall.
Shredder stood above him and sliced at him with his blade, knocking Splinter unconscious.
Kara could only watch in horror as someone close to her was taken from her. Barely hearing her friend's cries and pleas for Shredder not to, she stared, eye's wide, mouth agape, and hands clenched white around the bars as Shredder lifted Splinter off the ground, turned on the water pressure, and threw him into a whirlpool as if he was nothing but trash.
April, Donnie, Raph and Mikey took a step back in disbelief at what they had just witnessed but Raph pushed himself forward holding onto the bars around him and glared at Shredder. "You..monster!" Raph let out a cry of rage and he pulled against the bars and pounded his fist into them trying to get to Splinter.
Mikey walked up to him to try and calm him down. "That's enough Raph! Knock it off!" But when Raph went to turn on him Mikey hugged his brother tight, releasing him from his rage. "It's ok, bro. Sensei is a master ninja. He's gonna be just fine..he's gonna be alright."
Watching his brother's Donnie looked over at Kara seeing she hadn't moved from her spot and her head was down. He walked up behind her and went to place his hand on her shoulder but jumped when she spoke.
"SHREDDER!" She yelled which such anger and force everyone froze in place, even Shredder. She stared right into his eyes, glaring darkly at him as a trail of blood traveled down the side of her mouth from where she was biting her lip. "I will make you pay for everything you have done! YOU HEAR ME?!" She screamed as she began punching the bars right where his face was. "YOU WILL PAY!" She continued punching the bars til blood began to appear on them and her knuckles.
Seeing the blood Donnie's eyes widened and he put his arms around her from behind and pulled her into a hug. "Calm down, Kara!" He yelled trying to get her to listen but her eyes were only focused on Shredder as he limped away from them, watching his every move like a predator. Donnie turned her to face him and placed his lips against hers, bringing her in tighter.
Kara snapped out of her current state and slowly lowered her arms to her side then around him. Parting from his lips she lowered her head into his chest. "I need to go to my place and get something..I need to be alone." She barely whispered before letting go of Donnie and turning to leave.
"We have to stay together, Ka-" April began as she went to grab her arm but gasped softly as Kara snapped her head in her direction, glaring at her. "You can't stop me. I'll be back at the roundevu point." She spoke softly, lowering her head before running off not giving them a chance to stop her.
Kara ran at full speed all the way to her home not bothering to use the elevator but instead ran all the way to the top by stairs. When she reached her home she was breathing heavily to the point it seemed as though she was being choked. Her legs were trembling from the constant running but she didn't care. She winced as her head began to hurt as the flashes of Leo getting hurt and Master Splinter going down rush through her mind and she held her head in pain before letting out an enraged scream and began tossing furniture everywhere and knocking things off the wall.
Standing in the middle of her now destroyed living room she fell to her knees, tears falling down the side of her face. "No...I've only had him back for a year..he can't be gone." She whimpered but blinked when she heard footsteps.
"Whose there?!" An middle age man yelled with a flashlight in his hand.
Kara stood up recognizing it was the hotel manager, the manager recognizing her as well.
"Kara? You're still alive? Come! Follow me, we're bringing survivors into our basement" He said as he grabbed her arm and lead her to the door.
"Wait, survivors?...There are people still unmutated?!" She asked with surprise and hope in her voice.
"Yes, we're bringing in everyone we can in the hotel til things die down...We could really use your help when our supplies run out."
"You mean..Casey..Jessica..Mrs. Christine..all of them can still be unmutated?!" A smile appeared on her face then she turned to the manager and nodded. "I'll do it. Just let me tell my friends. They're fixing to leave this place."
"Tell them to send out help!" He shouted as she ran to her room before leaving her be.
She opened a drawer where her Blind Bandit gear lay after her last fight and she grabbed the tape, beginning to wrap her hands, after having much practice had gotten better at it. She took her mask from where it lay on top of her clothes and tied it around her neck before running to the balcony but stopped and glanced over at Dragan's room and saw her shield. Thinking she'd need that she grabbed it and tied it to her back with a rope and jumped out her home and onto the streets using the fire escape to safely bring her down.
She wasn't too far from the rondevu point but on foot it felt like she would never get there but that didn't stop her when the sound of a horn slowed her down. Turning she saw Casey drive up next to her and roll down the window with a grin.
"Hey, need a lift?" He asked causally trying to sound cool.
She shook her head at how ridiculous he looked but laughed and climbed in. She looked over to Dragan and saw she had Leo's head in her lap and her eyes seemed puffy. "She had been crying.." She lowered her head but blinked remembering something and removed the shield from her back. "I got you a present, Dre." She said softly just as Dragan looked up at her.
"My shield! But when did ye.." She shook her head not wanting to question why she wasn't with the others but had a feeling something horrible had happened. "She'd been crying..Where are the others?"
Before Kara could answer she stumbling feeling Casey gain speed and suddenly shout, "This is so metaall!" When she went to look up to see what was her peripheral vision was blocked by a large blob of pink in the front windows of the van before it swerved then stopped. Hearing Casey say the same line she shook her head and smiled making room as the others climbed in, Casey driving off before giving them a chance to close the door.
Kara looked out the windows noting they were getting closer to the end of the city limits and stood up. "S-Stop the van, Casey. Stop the van!" She shouted causing Casey to slam on the breaks.
"What is it, Kara?" Donnie looked up at her as everyone else did. His eyes widened as she opened the door and jumped out.
"I'm staying." She said simply making everyone stare at her in shock.
"What?! They shouted in unison, Dragan only looking at her with wide eyes.
"There are people still out there who aren't mutated yet! I can save them and keep them alive til you guys think of a plan to retake New York once and for all." She said her eyes narrowed as if she had already made up her mind, which she did.
"Are you crazy?! No, no! I'm not leaving you behind in this madness!" Donnie shouted before climbing out and grabbing her arms. "I can't lose you again!"
"I'm not leaving my friends behind! I'm the reason they're in this mess to begin with!" She shouted in his face tears falling once more as everyone stood in shocked silence but she continued. "Casey..Jessica..Mrs. Christine..Zack..they're all here because of me..because of WHO I am..I can't leave them to suffer like this!" She screamed til she broke down in front of them.
Dragan stared at her before she got up, grabbed her shield, strapped it to her back, and climbed out. Gently moving Donnie aside she brought Kara close to her in an embrace. "I made a promise tae keep ye safe, Kara, an I plan tae keep it. I'm sorry.."
Suddenly, Dragan slammed her fist into Kara's gut causing her to double over in pain, and gasp for breath. She stared up at Dragan in shock just as she brought her elbow down onto Kara's neck with enough force to knock her out, catching her before she hit the ground.
"Dragan?!" Donnie screamed but blinked when she had a pained expression on her face. She lifted Kara into her arm's with ease and gently laid her down next to Leo. She stared longingly at him before leaning to him and planting a soft kiss against his lips and took off his mask.
"I will stay here, in Kara's place. I made an oath tae her tae protect her an go where I am needed. It is clear I am needed here more than wi ya all. So go. Now." She spoke calmly and stared at them giving them a reassuring smile before turning her back to them.
Hearing the sound of the van leaving her heart seemed to stop as tears filled her eyes. She stared down at the mask before lifting it up to her face, the mask catching the tears before they could leave their place and she stared ahead, eyes focus as she brought out her sword and held it up to her face, hearing the stomps of a Kraang mech heading her way.
"I am a knight o' the Macintosh family. I will develop ma life for the greater good. I will take arms for those I hold dear an stake ma life for them. I will defend those who cannae defend themselves an uphold justice being fair tae aw. I will smite the wicked an those that choose tae do wrong. I will live by ma code an honor it til death." She turned the blade as she brought out her shield, the mech standing across from her, her stance strong and her eyes never faltering. "That is ma code and I will die for it!" She shouted at the mech and charged just as it charged up it's weapons to attack.
