"I shouldn't have done that." He growled, his cheeks were a darker shade of green.
"But..." She whispered. There were tears in her eyes.
"Ugh, I'm almost as pathetic as Donnie." He sighed, about to walk away. Kira grabbed his arm and he stopped.
"What? Raph, liking someone isn't pathetic. It's...cute." She smiled softly.
"Cute? Are you kidding?!" He motioned to himself. "I'm a giant mutated turtle. There's nothing cute about me and I don't like you."
"But you ki-"
"Shut up!" He cut her off, jabbing his finger at her. "Nothing happened! It was a mistake." He rolled his eyes "I..fell..."
She raised a brow. "You...fell?" She half laughed at the absurdity of it.
"Yeah, nothing more." He grumbled as he walked away.
"Do you mean you fell for me?" She teased. His hands curled into fists.
"No. I fell and it looked like I kissed you. But I didn't because that's stupid." He said through gritted teeth.
"Oh come on Raph, it's not that bad. Maybe I like you too." She said the last part quietly.
"No!" He snapped at her with renewed vigor. "You don't, maybe you think you do, but you don't."
"You can't tell me what can like." She told him, one hand on her hip.
He stopped walking and turned to her, fire in his eyes, "You're a human, I'm a freak. You don't know what you like because you've never met a human before. I'm just all there is for you to like. You'll see, go find a human boy and then tell me you still like me, because I know you won't. Who in their right mind would?" He pushed past her, walking too fast for her to catch up.
"Fine, maybe you're right. Maybe I don't know what it's like to be around humans, they must be so much better than you and your brothers." She half-shouted, before turning the opposite direction. She dashed to the nearest manhole to the surface, her anger dissipating on the way. Once there she walked around looking for a place people her age would hang out. She went to a park, a shopping center, and a couple of fast food places, but nothing. Where the heck is everyone?
"Sorry, excuse me." She said politely as she bumped into a man on the sidewalk.
"Watch where you're going brat!" He paused as he looked her over. " Shouldn't you be in school?"
She ignored him and walked away into the nearest alley. She slid away the manhole cover with a sigh. Jeeze, how rude...If all humans are like him, why would I ever want a human boy? Raph is just being stupid. He's pretending he doesn't like me because...because why? He thinks I could never actually like him? Why not? He's fun to be around. Why can't I like him like that? So what if he's a mutated turtle thing...every thing he is inside is human enough for me. Ugh he's so frustrating. You know what? I am going to find a human boy, a really good looking bad boy. Someone that he will make him explode with jealousy. I hope, he might not even get jealous. Well its worth a try I guess. Only thing is I have to find a boy. Maybe April will know what to do.
Once back at the lair, she plopped onto the couch and closed her eyes, hoping sleep might help with the feeling she's having. The frustration of Raph rejecting her when he was the one that made the first move. "Gahhh, why do I even care!?" She cried out to the empty room. "It's not like I actually like him." She thought maybe she could have what she saw on TV with all the romance and happiness, but that didn't mean that Raph had to be the one to give it to her. It wasn't like she had set her heart on him. Sure he was attractive when he acted tough and his gruff voice made her smile, not to mention he was the first one of them she actually saw, and he gave her a chance to redeem herself when she was down and out, but that doesn't make him special. He was right, him and his brothers were the only thing she knew. There is much, much more out there.
"Hey! Kira!" Leo shouted.
"Mmmmm..What's up?" She asked with her head still buried in the couch.
"The Kraang are making their move. They're bringing this thing called the technodrome here from dimension x, and if we don't stop it, it could mean the end of the world as we know it."He said in one breath.
"The technodrome? No way..." She instantly sat up at the word technodrome, fearing the worst.
"You know what it is?" Donnie asked coming from the lab.
"It's...well you don't want it to get here. Trust me." She shook her head.
"You don't have to help us, but we could really use your knowledge of the Kraang and your fighting skills. It's up to you." Leo said, trying not to be pushy.
"I want to stop the Kraang." She agreed, as she got up from the couch.
They went their separate ways, preparing to deal with the Kraang's new threat to New York.
Raph stocking up on his weapons, Leo working out a plan, Donnie creating all different types of gadgets to assist them, Kira practicing her moves, trying to regain anything she may have lost while healing from her wound, and Mikey, really not doing too much, but trying the best he can to help.
Once ready, they said their goodbye's to Master Splinter and April. Donnie gave her a quick hug and Leo announced "Lady and gentlemen, lets go save the world." before they took off in the shell raiser.
"Alright guys, we're gunna keep it simple. We go to TCRI, and we use the micro fission omni disintegrator. Which Donnie calculates is powerful enough to destroy the portal with a single shot." Leo explains.
"Well, then why didn't we use it last time?" Mikey asked annoyed.
"Because we didn't have it last time." Donnie mocked.
"You have an answer for everything, don't you Donnie?" He mocked back.
"Yes, I do." He taunted.
"Good one Donnie. Speaking of good one, are you sure this plan'll work Leo?" Raph shouted.
"It has to work."
"Boy I hope so...we can not risk the technodrome coming through." Kira warns.
As they approached TCRI Donnie prepared Metal head to take the wheel. "All set and ready to go."
"Great, everyone ready?" Leo asked as Donnie strapped his pack on. They all nodded. "OK! Let's go!" He commanded as they leaped to the roof of the shell raiser and took flight in Donnie's new jet pack invention. Donnie controlled Metal head as he drove straight into the TCRI building crashing into it ruthlessly. From there Metal head would attack the Kraang on the bottom level to try to distract them from the impending attack on the top level.
"Booyakasha!" Donnie yelled as he controlled his metal turtle weapon. "Eat Metal head!"
"Nice work Donnie!" Raph yelled over.
"Do you know what its time for?!" Mikey squealed. "The world's first ever mid air high three!"
The four of them flew together and high threed each other, while Kira watched from just slightly below.
"Glad I could not be a part of that.." She said full of sarcasm.
"Well, sorry Kira, but you gotta have three fingers to high three." Raph taunted, waving his fingers at her.
"Ya know, I think I'll keep my five fingers. They come in handy." She bantered back.
"Pfff, having five fingers is over rated." He dismissed.
"Well they can do this." She replied as she passed him up, giving him the middle finger with a huge devilish grin planted on her face.
His eyes widened, "Alright, I guess you're right, I can't do that." He admitted smirking at her nasty side.
OoOoOo
"This is awesome! Turtles were born to fly!" Mikey yipped in excitement.
"Alright guys, let's do this!" Leo interrupted.
They flew to a ledge on top of the TCRI building. Once they landed, Raph used a pigeon to block one of the security cameras they needed to pass. Once past, they needed to take out a couple of Kraang standing guard.
"Hey Kraang!" Mikey yells over to them from the edge, then makes faces at them sticking his tongue out and wagging his butt, just before falling over the ledge. Mikey clings to the side with spiked gloves while Donnie attacks the distracted Kraang. They watch the Kraang fall to the ground, and prepare for what's next.
They grappling hook to another part of the TCRI building, and slid their way down to that side. Once there, they found their entrance point. Sneaking inside, they make their way to the portal.
"We gotta take out that portal." Donnie whispers.
"I forgot about him." Raph comments on the giant rock lava monster they had encountered previously.
"Don't worry, we'll be gone before that rock monster even knows were here." Donnie says as Leo begins to charge the disintegrator.
"OK guys, this all ends in 3, 2, 1." The gun shoots off and they stare in horror as the portal absorbs the hit. "What! There's a force field?! Why didn't you tell me!?"
"Well, because I wanted us to fail...Obviously I DIDN'T KNOW!" Donnie shouts back.
"Anyone got a plan B?" Raph asks as the Kraang begin firing at the sitting ducks.
They turn to realize the hideous rock monster has also spotted them. They scream and avoid the punch he throws their way.
Leo just barely avoids being stomped and crawls backward until he reaches the wall, at the last moment the gun is charged and fires off the rock monsters leg.
"Donnie! How's that plan B coming?" He asks rolling away from the lava spewing from the creatures mouth.
"I'm thinking!"
"Think faster!" He fires off the monsters shoulder.
"I can probably hack into the Kraang system, if you give me enough time!" Donnie shrieks as the Kraang firing at him are crushed beneath the rock monsters arm.
"Great! Do that!" Leo yells.
Donnie makes his way to the main computer, knocking some Kraang out of the way, and plugs in his devices to it. The others do their best to keep them away from Donnie.
"Come on, come on!" Leo dodges the rock monsters fist, then as soon as his gun is charged, he blows off its other arm. "This thing is running out of juice."
"And guys, look! The portal!" Mikey points out.
"What ever is coming through the portal is gunna be here soon." Leo informs.
"Whens that force field coming down Donnie." Raph asks.
"I'm working on it!" He yells back.
"Um, work faster please!" Kira yells dodging more of the Kraangs shots.
Raph gets hit in the back by one of them, and comes at it with full force, throwing most of his weapons at it.
Leo slices down some of the Kraang flying in the round hover crafts then blasts the rock monster in the chest with the gun, breaking it into pieces. Kira and Mikey leap out of the way of these flying pieces, but then look on in shock as it puts itself back together.
"I forgot he could do that." Mikey whines.
"Guys! I think I got it!" Donnie cheers as the force field comes down. "Yes! All hail me!" But a moment too soon, the portal begins to fire up and something is on its way to Earth.
"Uh oh, guys?" Donnie says as a ship begins to descend from the portal created just above the building.
"Holy giant floaty shippy ship." Mikey mumbles.
"It's the technodrome." Kira cries.
The Kraang surround them as they huddle together.
"Leo! Do the zippy zappy thing now!" Mikey panics.
"Come on baby, come on baby, come on baby! YES! Say good night Kraang!" Leo boldly brags as he fires the gun at the portal, only the gun doesn't fire.
"What the heck happened?" Donnie yelled.
"I think the batteries died." Leo complained.
"And We'll be joining them, unless someone thinks of something!" Raph barked holding a Kraang droid as a shield.
"What's plan C Leo?" Donnie questions.
Leo looks around as the others dodge the lasers. "Donnie, what would happen if I ruptured the power cell?"
"The whole place would go up, with us in it."
"GO!"
"Whoa, Leo, you're not thinking what I think you're thinking?" Leo springs for the power cell. "He's thinking it!" Everyone but Leo makes for an exit, while Leo stays behind to take out the power cell. Once everyone is out, he thrusts his katana into the power cell and it explodes. Leo is flung into the air, and he lands on part of the portal. He leaps off of it and crashes through a window as the place comes crumbling down. Helplessly he plummets to his death, but just before reaching the end, Raph swoops in and rescues his brother just in time.
"Gotcha!" He yells. "In your face gravity!"
"Thanks Raph." Leo sighs.
"Anytime buddy."
"I can't believe it! We saved the world!" Donnie squeals.
"Yeah that wasn't so hard, was it?" Mikey cheers.
"Uhh...guys..." Kira point out the impending doom lurking just behind them.
They just barely dodge the ship that will surely be the end of their planet.
"Uh, I gotta stop sayin stuff like that." Mikey realizes, this is far from over.
