Chapter 25: Unfortunate

Perfect. That's how the night started. The plan was being executed to perfection. Metalhead made an excellent distraction for those waiting inside while the four turtles flew above the city. They had successfully infiltrated TCRI from above and hid undetected in the rafters, cleverly avoiding the Kraang and the volcanic rock creature known as Traag. Leo had the Microfission Omni-Disintegrator lined up and ready to fire. In a matter of seconds this would all be over.

"Alright guys, this all ends in 3…2…1..." The Microfission Omni-Disintegrator glowed bright as it shot out towards the portal. Unfortunately, the blast disintegrated the second it hit portal which glowed pink with the impact. "What? There's a forcefield! Why didn't you tell me!?"

"Well, because I wanted us to fail. OBVIOUSLY I DIDN'T KNOW!" Donnie retorted. He was frustrated and angry. They all were and it didn't help that the tension between two of the brothers was still there. Unfortunately with his sudden outburst, all of the Kraang and the Traag became very aware of their presence. Leonardo faced off with the giant rock monster while his brothers fought the Kraang.

"Donnie, how's that Plan B coming?"

"I'm thinking!"

"Think faster!"

"I can probably hack into the Kraang system if you give me enough time!" Instantly the boulder arm of the Traag landed behind Donatello ceasing the fire from the lasers. Leo had most of the Traag separated, he gave one mighty leap and blasted the Traag back to where he came from. Or so he thought as Mikey and himself watched the Traag reform. "YES! All hail me!" Donnie exclaimed. This could be their only chance. The forcefield was down and the portal was beginning to open. "Uh, guys?"

"Holy giant floating shippy-ship." Mikey cried. He was right, a giant metal and pink ship floated down to the top of TCRI. As they became distracted more Kraang-droids emerged and fired at the turtles. "Leo! do the zippy zappy thingy now!" The four huddled near the portal.

"C'mon baby, c'mon baby, come on baby! YES! Say goodnight Kraang!" Once again they had another unfortunate occurrence the Microfission Omni-Disintegrator malfunctioned. The batteries must have died.

"What's Plan C Leo?" They were running out of options. Leo eyes frantically searched the area when he saw the power cell.

"Donnie, what would happen if I ruptured the power cell?"

"This whole place will go off with us in it! Wait you're not thinking what I'm thinking are you?"

"Then go!" This is what's best. The only way to stop the portal.

April was surrounded by Kraang-droids. A million thoughts were running through her mind. Why did her father betray her? Where are the turtles? Did the destroy the portal yet? When will this be over? Would they be able find her? Were they okay? Was Leo okay? Her brain stopped on the topic of him. She remembered that only a few short hours ago he had asked her to be his girlfriend. Of course she said yes but April kept wondering why she did. Maybe it was instinct. The blue masked turtle had been on her mind ever since he helped her with training. Most of the time she found it strange that she could feel that way about one of the guys. They were turtles! Giant turtles. Ninja turtles. Leo was different from most boys she knew. He was caring, strong, gentle and in a way handsome. Could she possible be in love him?A sudden burst of pink light interrupted her thoughts. She witnessed a giant metal ship descend from above. April became terrified as a weird sphere came floating towards her. The Kraang did not hesitate and shoved her inside. There was not much she could do but hoped that the turtles would find her soon.

Somehow Leo had managed to escape the exploding TCRI building and even avoided becoming a turtle-pancake on the sidewalk. The mission was a success! They had saved the world! Or at least that's what they believed until they came face to face with the giant floating shippy-ship. How unfortunate.
