"K-Karai?" Donnie exclaimed, his expression changing from confused to stunned as the huge serpent suddenly shrunk into a middle-aged woman. Karai's hair had grown longer which she wore loosely tied back with her choppy-cut fringe touching the top of her eyelids. Her eyes were a leaf-green colour and her pupils kept dilating into slits every time she looked up the sunset above them.

"Who else?" she smirked, pulling one of Leo's katana blades out of the harness on her back. She nudged Leo and the two of them ran at Shredder, as the armoured-leader stood over Raph, ready to finish the turtle off. With a loud cry, Karai jabbed towards the Shredder's neck, Shredder turning around quick enough to block the fatal attack. His armour scratched against the blade of Karai's katana as he stared at her with a strange sorrowful expression reflecting in his eyes as she glared back at him.

While Karai and Shredder were facing off, Leonardo ran to Raphael and helped him to his feet. Donnie went to run over but Raph threw out his arm to stop him from getting too close to the Shredder. Before Donnie could do anything else, he heard the voice of Fishface as he ran across the tarmac ground, his robotic legs clanking loudly with every step.

"Master!" he cried out, rushing into the turtles' view. Donnie's worry increased as he saw Fishface holding one of the Kraang's communication orbs in his hands. Donnie turned to Shredder as he shoved Karai away to turn to his mutant servant.

"But h-how?" Donnie said anxiously, "How and when did you get one of those communication orbs, Shredder?"

"Isn't it obvious?" the Shredder rolled his eyes at the young turtle. "You're the reason why I have it; after all, it was in your possession in the first place."

I need to make sure that I didn't give it to him then...Donnie frowned to himself, knowing he wouldn't like the answer but he had to ask: "How did you get it? Was I the one who handed it over?"

"You?" the Shredder laughed, "Oh no, you were still in my base when I received this amazing thing. I call it: destroying-your-secret-lair-and-stealing-it. Does that answer your question?"

That's our orb, Donnie thought to himself, if I ever want to see my brothers again, I have to take it from him myself.

"Oh no you don't," the Shredder suddenly warned, gesturing for Fishface to step back when he noticed Donnie staring at the orb. "I know what that over-sized brain of yours is thinking; you're not going anywhere, turtle."

"He isn't going anywhere with you, either!" Raph yelled, ripping himself from Leo's arms and ran at the Shredder once more. Rahzar threw himself in front of his master and raised his claws at Raph, who got closer and closer. Donnie ran after his older hot-tempered brother, shoving past Fishface, his fingers brushing the orb as he threw his staff to the ground. He saw Rahzar's movements, ready to hit Raph with a killing strike and he was not going to let that happen to his beloved brother.

It seemed to happen in slow motion; Raph's eye widened with realisation as Rahzar extended his claws and brought them down. Donatello leaped in the way of Rahzar's claws and took the full force of the hit. The young turtle fell to the floor, his eyes squeezed shut in pain as his shaking hands hovered over three deep-looking slash marks across his plastron which were now bleeding heavily.

Screams of "You overgrown idiot!" and "Donnie!" were heard in the background. Rahzar backed away as Raph crawled to Donnie's side and placed his right palm against Donnie's head with his head bent. Shredder screamed at Rahzar in the background while Fishface suddenly yelped and threw the orb to the ground as it began to glow.

"The...orb..." Donnie wheezed, extending his hand toward it as it lay in the ground close to where he and Raph were. He looked up at Raph, "I touched it..."

"You touched the orb..." Raph repeated, suddenly realising what Donnie was trying to say. "The Kraang portal...It's going to appear now, isn't it?"

Donnie nodded weakly as a bright purple light flashed in mid-air and the same triangular portal opened up, beginning to pull everything towards it. Raph placed his arm over Donnie to support him as the force began to push them closer.

Mikey and Leo were trying to get towards Raph and Donnie but had to keep stopping out of fear of being pulled toward the Kraang portal. April bit her lip at the sight of the older turtles trying to get to and protect Donnie. She looked toward the portal in the distance and then back towards Donnie; for all anybody knew, it could take him anywhere and the fast-paced and rough journey inside could possibly injure Donnie more, maybe even kill him.

She clenched her hands into tiny fists, her decision made as she boldly stepped forward; running past Leo and Mikey, who shouted after her. She passed Donnie and Raph, who both called out to her but she kept running, her tears flying into the air as she threw herself straight into the portal. The last thing she saw of her world were the turtles all reaching out to her, just as the doorway to their world closed, leaving April travelling to an unknown world herself.
