It Begins

"BRIA!" Donatello, Raph, and Matt shouted together. Rachel didn't know what was going on, but she didn't like it. Not one bit.

"Leo? Leo?!" Mikey, Lily, and Nao were shouting on the other line. Then their connection clicked off.

Bria groaned and shakily tried to get up, but only fell back down. "Damn it…" she hissed. Her green eyes had switched back to blue. 'Baka!' her mind yelled.

Karai got out from her stance and flicked her sword casually before sheathing it, "Maybe another time. You didn't live up to your speed like last time. You've grown soft." She glanced over at the three. Donatello glared at her and got his Bo ready just in case she was going to attack.

"SAYS WHO?!" A bright flash was seen as Brianna's sword slashed across Karai's abdomen and side. Karai then went flying into the wall as a Side Kick collided with her chest. Bria breathed heavily and her eyes dropped. Her sword fell from her hand before her body collapsed onto the ground.

Matt rushed over to her and then said, "Save strength next time woman." She frowned at the gash and then said, "I'm going to find Andy and Rae."

"You do that…" Bria muttered.

"What in the hell were you thinking?" Raph ran over, "Why didn't you just stay down?"

"Don't tell me you wouldn't…have done the same," Bria hissed, "Like hell if…I'm going to get struck…and not give a little payback."

Matt quietly snuck away while Raphael and Brianna decided to have a little chat. When she got to the computer room she just stared. Chaplin was knocked out, just barely she could tell. Andrew was alright besides being knocked out, and Rachel looked like she had been through hell and back. Her lip was split, nose started bleeding again and Matt had a feeling she broke something. "Rae?" "I'm fine,"

Rachel muttered. "How's Bria?"

"Cut across the back, but she's still alive. She and Raphael are arguing at the current time," Matt bit her lip. "I'm going to get Raphael to help." She walked over to Andrew and grabbed his arm and picked him up like that. She stumbled, at the weight but held up, "Raphael can carry you…hopefully."

Rachel just gave a weak smile and closed her eyes, 'Damn.'

"Where's Raphael?" Matt asked as he saw Donatello picking up Bria carefully. The gash on her back was pretty bad and he had to use a makeshift bandage for now.

"He went to find his hovercraft," Don said to her.

Matt rolled her eyes and carefully placed Andrew down, "That really should surprise me." Matt muttered as she decided to go after the boy. 'Stupid boys and their selfish…' She ranted.

"Leo's…gonna be mad at me…when we get home, isn't he?" Bria asked Don.

"That's a possibility," Don replied, "I think he's more worried than he is mad."

Bria sighed, "Thanks fore helping me, Donny, I really appreciate it…" She winced as she moved wrong.

"It's no problem." Donatello replied.

She glanced about, "Where'd everybody go?"

"Matt went to find Raphael after dragging Andrew to the side." He nodded over at the boy who was still unconscious. "I don't know where Rachel is."

"No, no, I know where they are," she nodded to the empty room, "I meant the Foot, Hun, and Karai."

Donatello frowned, "That's a good question……I don't know."

Just then, the room exploded...and not by a laser beam because it didn't come from the outside…It was an explosion from a bomb.

Don was thrown backwards from the explosion and was covered in smoke and debris. He coughed and looked at Bria, "You okay?"

Brianna was unable to respond because she was knocked out cold. A piece of the wall had whacked into her head and was now pinning her to the floor.

Don carefully removed the piece of wall and placed her away from any other debris and went to attend to Andrew who was basically covered. He carefully removed the wall, glass, and a few pieces of wood from him before moving him next to Bria. He bit his lip. He was thankful neither of them was injured badly.

Rachel managed to finish hacking into the computer and made sure to transfer the files over at Don's computer. Once she was done with that she managed to get out of the room. She was dizzy. It hurt to even walk. Once she got to where Don was she managed to sit down.

"There you are," Donatello said, "…You look awful."

"Thanks," Rachel managed to breathe.

Andrew moaned softly before putting a hand to his head and sitting up, "Ouch…"

"Nice of you join the world of Hell," Rachel teased.

"I suppose," Andrew rubbed his head and then looked around, "Where's Matt and Raphael?"

"Out of the building hopefully," Donatello said, "Can you carry Rachel?"

"Yeah," Andrew nodded as he walked over to the girl and picked her up carefully. "Let's get out." He said and Don agreed. He followed Don out of the room when he saw how badly the fire was spreading. He shook his head and quickly shut the door and followed the purple ninja.

Raphael was running up the stairs, when he saw them, "I heard the explosion," He told them. He went to Andrew and took Rachel into his own arms. "Follow me," He started back down, "I made a hole out of the hallway back on Level 15. I can Hover you guys straight down so you can get to the Battle Shell. I'll take Rachel with me back home."

"Alright," Andrew said in agreement.

They got to Level 15 and they all piled onto the hovercraft where Matt had it parked at the hole which was their exit. They carefully distributed their weight so it wouldn't spin out, and Raph took Matt's place in the seat and held Rachel close in his lap. He flicked several switches and after a minute they were on the ground, "I hear sirens, guys, better get movin'," Raph told them.

Matt nodded, "We know. Come on Andrew." She dragged Andrew off of the hovercraft and Donatello and Brianna also got off. They all went toward the battle shell quickly. "Be careful!" Matt called over to them before Andrew dragged him into the car.

"No problem," Raph muttered and kicked the hovercraft into gear. He soared upward just as the Battle Shell Whizzed on by. In the air, he easily kept pace with them.

What a night.
