Shredder, Fishface and Rahzar all had retreated away from the portal along with their soldiers; Leo and Mikey stood where the Kraang portal had just been, not uttering a single sentence as April had vanished right in front of them.
"G-guys!" Raph suddenly cried out, causing the other two turtles to turn to him. "Donnie isn't waking up!"
Leo knelt beside the purple-masked turtle and placed his head against Donnie's chest, relief flooding his thoughts when he heard a heartbeat. "He's alive," he said gratefully, lifting his head, "but we have to get out of here and treat everybody's injuries."
"Exactly," Mikey agreed as Leo bent down and gently lifted Donnie from the ground and began to walk away, towards Karai, who was pressing a rag against a wound on her arm.
Raph was silent as he turned away from Mikey and walked towards Angel, kneeling down and running his hand through her hair gently. "I'm sorry..." he whispered, his chest hurting with every thought he had as he looked down at her. "I always got angry with you...You were my friend and I cared about you, even if I made out that I didn't," he chuckled sadly, "hell, I could even say that I lo-" his voice stilled as Angel suddenly groaned weakly, his heart began to pound fiercely in both joy and concern. "You're still with us..." he whispered joyfully, gently picking her up bridal style, "Hold on," he added sternly, "you hold on!"
"Where do we go now?" Karai said, tying the rag tight around her arm and then placing her hands on her hips. "You must have a plan, Leo."
"We'll go back home," Mikey said loudly, standing beside Leo. "We'll go back to the base and we'll nurse the injured back to health. Then, after that," he turned and looked coldly at the base of the Shredder, "Shredder will pay for everything that he's done to us."
April screamed as a bright light flashed and the opposite side of the portal opened, throwing her to the ground. She hit the floor hard and kept her eyes shut as the portal flashed once more and the disappeared.
As she lifted her head, she blinked at her surroundings and suddenly panicked at the sight of being in the middle of New York, but this New York looked the same as the city she spent her childhood and teenage years in...She gasped out loud and quickly got to her feet, rushing into a small alleyway behind one of the street stores.
"I've been taken back," she whispered, grabbing a metal pipe from one of the piles of rubbish in the alley. She peered from outside and then ran towards one of the smaller shopping stores; going against her normal actions, she smashed the glass window and ran inside, snatching a long hooded cloak from one of the stands and shoved it over her clothes, lifting the long hood over her head to mask her identity. "It's time to see them again..."
A/N: I know this is a really short chapter, I was going to add more about April but then I decided to add it in the first chapter of the sequel to this :) I was originally going to write it all as one huge story but I thought dividing it into three parts would be easier :D Thank you so much to everybody who read this story, favourited, followed and reviewed! You're all awesome :D
The sequel of this story is called: Portal of the Present and it'll be focused on Future April reuniting with the younger turtles, Splinter and Casey :) I'll be putting it up on tomorrow; (about 10-11 o'clock at night for me as I live in the UK) Thanks again everyone! *huge hugs* ^_^
