Chapter 5: The Chip
"A teleporter?" April questioned as she was currently on the phone with Donnie, hearing Mikey singing happily in the background goofing around. "Are you sure there's nothing else? Like a plan for a robbery or something?" April asked as she stared at the TV in front of her. "Yeah, it's just one file, and it's just the one blueprint listing materials and everything needed to build a teleporter. What exactly is going on here and what is this?" Donnie asked April as he was pretty much forced to open and check out the strange chip when Mikey arrived and practically didn't explain anything very well and sounded like a jabber.
April sighed as she was getting tired of explaining so much stuff tonight but just went with it. "Well while you and Raph were training, Leo and Mikey were going to help me out with fixing up my apartment but we were interrupted by my long lost sister who is part of a cult gang called the Purple Dragons who also thinks they own New York, so they are pretty much everywhere causing trouble as they are also known for mugging, stealing, ya name it. She was looking for an ancient statue in which there was two here apparently, she ended up taking the fake one while the real one we found out had that chip in it, so we knew she was after that chip, and she kinda barged her way in after finding out it was fake and encountered Leo and Mikey and I guess she was slightly afraid of them or something, so she sent someone up here to kill Leo and Mikey. Leo got pretty badly hurt, but he's fine, he's currently resting, and I sent Mikey with the chip to you so you could open it to see what was on it and what they were after it for." April explained the situation to Donnie.
"Hang on, you said ancient statue. Any idea what it was called, or what it looked like?" Donnie asked. April squinted her eyes as she tried to remember and think real hard, but luckily for her Adam creaked the door open and slid his way in, he looked at Leo who was still passed out on the bed and back at April who had turned and looked at him. Adam waved at her and smiled as he noticed she was on the phone, April pretty much smirked at him and left him confused. "Adam can you go find a small ancient broken in half statue laying somewhere on the floor out in the living area?" April asked him. "Uh, sure?" Adam said as he slid back out the door.
"Adam?" Donnie questioned April. "Yeah a friend of mine, a really close friend." She exclaimed. "And Leo is still with you?! Does he know about Leo?! And your place is surrounded with cops at the moment!? Why would you keep him there?!" Donnie started to freak out. "Wait how do you know cops flooded the area?" April questioned him. "I hacked a street camera and I can see the entire outside of the apartment." He exclaimed to her. April wasn't too surprised as Donnie did tell her he was the tech brother of the team and his intelligence was off the charts, "Ok well calm down, yes, he knows about Leo and Mikey but I promise you with that you can trust him, he's a police captain and he's the only reason of keeping all these cops from seeing and coming across Leo at the moment. I told you, he is fine." April said reassuring him, trying to calm him down. Donnie only sighed and agreed with her, he trusted her.
Adam entered the room again and had the two pieces of the statue that April told him to go find and get for her, April thanked him as she grabbed both parts and examined both looking for a name or signature of some sort. "Belvere?" She said as she read a name on one of the broken halves of the statue. "Belvere, a statue of unknown. It was known to be found around the Greeks so it was marked as a greek mythology statue and claimed to be ancient as it appeared extremely old. No one knew where it really came from, and it became very popular that duplicates were made, so that's probably the fake duplicate your so-called lost sister took. But if you really did have the actual real one, and this chip was inside it… then there's a chance it's not even from earth… I don't understand any of this writing or names listed on this blueprint, but it does open and function normally like any normal chip would with a computer. So I am just as lost as you are here with it on why the Purple Dragons are after it, unless they're after it for someone else? I don't know…" Donnie explained as he had researched it on the computer from his end. April had put him on speaker to let Adam listen in as she did promise him to keep him up to date regarding the Purple Dragons in return for keeping the turtles a secret from society.
"Thanks Donnie." April sighed sadly as they really didn't get anywhere on the one question. Adam sat next to April on the bed, "What about the car your sister drove off in? Do you have a description regarding it?" Adam reminded her and gave her a smile. April returned the smile thanking him and then turned away, "Donnie, can you track vehicles based on descriptional looks?" April asked him. "I mean… it will be harder than licence plate number tracking but it's not impossible for me." Donnie bragged as in short for yes he can. April rolled her eyes a bit and chuckled, "Well my sister did leave in a black painted taxi car painted with Purple Dragons on both sides of it and drove down south before I lost sight." She explained all that should be remembered from the vehicle her sister retreated in from, aside from the licence plate number as she wasn't paying attention to that.
"Found it. Seems like they went to an old abandoned building not too far out of the city, looks like a fighting arena for only Purple Dragons." Donnie said as he stood up from the chair he was sitting in, in front of the computer screens. "Me, Raph and Mikey will go check it out. I'm sure Leo would want us too." Donnie stated as he was about to hang up. "Woah woah, isn't that a bad idea? You said it yourself, without Leo you guys are an insufficient team." April said worriedly as she stood up from the bed. "Calm down, we aren't actually going to go fight them or engage them. Plus you said Leo got badly hurt and is resting, just let him rest, after a few hours he'll act like he has no injury at all. Trust me, we're just going to listen in and see if we can get any information regarding the statue and/or chip." Donnie said to April, reassuring her. "I know...but, I don't know, something just seems off. But if that's all you're doing then I guess it's ok to just listen in, but please, be careful." April sighed and hung up as Donnie had already told her they were heading out soon and would be fine as he also hung up.
April sighed as she turned around and looked at Leo, she knew he was going to be pissed with her for not stopping his brothers from going out without him to such a seemingly dangerous place, she didn't want to wake him up and already have him go into action again with a still fresh injury, she wanted his injury to heal a bit before anything as she noticed a little blood seeping through the bandages on his arm. April moved her look at Adam, "How long are the cops going to be around for?" She asked him, "They are about to leave in a few minutes actually. I will be sticking around to help clean your place up a bit, but first fix that broken front door." Adam said as he tilted his head trying to think if he had anything else to worry about. April only blinked a few times at him, "You don't have to stay and help with such a mess, I have the guys who can help me later on. Plus don't you have a son?" April exclaimed as she pointed at Leo to the topic she was referring to.
Adam peered over his shoulder and looked at Leo and then back at April, "Guys? How many of them exactly are there?" He asked her. April lifted her hand and raised four fingers as she showed him instead of saying it, Adam sighed as he stood up getting off the bed and wiping his knees. "My son does nothing but video games and hockey, I'm sure he doesn't even know I am gone still. I'll at least fix the door." He said to her as he waved her off and left the room.
Donnie was practically itching to leave the lair in a way, he was stuck in his lab pretty much all day and was tired of being in the dojo training with Raph as he was too aggressive. Donnie grabbed his bow and spun it before placing it on his back and ran out the lab into the living area. "Raph, Mikey, were heading out on a mission." Donnie shouted to them as he noticed both of them sitting on the couch reading magazines and comics. Raph and Mikey both looked at Donnie confusingly, Donnie rolled his eyes and motioned at them to just follow and come as he ran out the lair. Raph and Mikey looked at each and shrugged as Raph was the first to throw the magazine in his hands and onto the couch as he leaped off the couch and chased after Donnie, Mikey followed along after.
The three turtles exited a manhole cover and entered an empty alleyway, they made their way to the roofs before they continued further, Mikey and Donnie were stopped by Raph who looked angry but also confused, though he was always angry. "Donnie, what's going on here? And where's Leo, only Leo calls the shots like that." Raph questioned as he was primarily looking at Donnie, Donnie turned and looked at Raph and held up a tablet screen showing the teleporter blueprint that came from the chip Mikey had brought to him. "This is a teleporter blueprint, Mikey brought back a computer chip from April's place that was inside an ancient statue that I believe is not even from earth or mythology of the Greeks and all their ancient stuff regarding the past before we even came to be. Leo is still at April's, and will be there for a while, so I told April we would check out the source of the people who are looking for this blueprint and see if we can get any information from them. And I also made us these!" Donnie explained and pulled out three custom made phones, tossing each one towards Raph and Mikey. "There T-Phones, use them for communication between us if we get seperated." Donnie said as he waved his in the air as if scolding them that they aren't toys. "So we're spying on people because of some blueprint? Sounds fine to me." Raph smirked as he stared at the T-Phone.
It took the three of them a good while to reach the abandoned building that was completely surrounded and full of Purple Dragons. Donnie, Raph and Mikey all peered over from a nearby building on top of the roof and scouted the area, "Who the heck are all these guys?" Raph questioned. "Purple Dragons." Both Mikey and Donnie said as they looked at Raph, Raph only looked at Donnie then back at Mikey, "You know what's going on and I was left last in the blue?!" Raph lowly shouted at Mikey as he grabbed Mikey by the shoulders and started shaking him. "Wait… does Leo know too?!" Raph stopped and turned to Donnie who only looked unamused, but Donnie nodded at him. "Before you and I did, yes." Donnie also stated. Donnie raised an eye at how pissed Raph seemed to be over something so stupid but ignored it as he pulled out a small spyglass and peered through it to scan the building full of Purple Dragons for a way in.
Donnie dropped the spyglass in his hand, Mikey and Raph turned and glared at him confusingly as they noticed that Donnie was clinging and hiding against the wall of the roof. "There's way too many people…." Donnie exclaimed frightened, Raph growled at him and marched towards him grabbing him by the shell "And this is why you don't call the shots, come on Mikey!" Raph said, dragging Donnie behind him who went stiff from shyness and frighteness.
"For the love of god, quit clinging to me!" Raph lowly shouted at Donnie who was clinging to his arm, All three of the turtles were below the building that they were previously on top of the roof beforehand. Raph peered around the corner of the alleyway at the aimed building full of Purple Dragons, Mikey was only teasing and chuckling as he was poking at Donnie who was still stiff and clinging to Raph. "I see a way in, come on." Raph stated as he continued to drag Donnie along with him.
The three turtles easily snuck past a few Purple Dragon guards as they approached a way up to the roof of the building, they climbed their way up and came across a private room that had only two people in it who were talking. The turtles glanced from a window into the room as they listened in, it was two men, though one seemed normal but the other was covered in a black cloak and couldn't make them out. Donnie picked the lock of the window and opened it slightly as they listened in on the two men, "Where is that blueprint I asked for!?" The man in the dark cloak asked angrily. "Calm down, I sent one of my best associates to go find it as they knew where it was. They should be back any minute now." The other man said who seemed somewhat scared of the man he was confronting.
The door to the room opened as a young goth girl walked in, Mikey instantly jumped as he noticed who it was. "That's her, April's sister! Jenna!" Mikey whispered as he shook Donnie's shoulder letting him know. "So she's the one who started the drama at April's and sent someone to kill you and Leo and hurt Leo…?" Donnie whispered asking Mikey as he looked at him, Mikey nodded at him as he was correct. "What! Leo got hurt!? And who is this witch!?" Raph whispered angrily at his two brothers and glared at them growling silently. "Hahaha, Leo wimped out?!" Raph chuckled silently as he felt excitement considering he could never beat Leo in a dual or training. "Actually he took the hit on purpose to protect me and April…" Mikey stated as he directed his look at Raph who shut up instantly and regretted what he said.
Jenna stood straight in front of the normal man as her attention was directed at him mostly, "We failed to retrieve the item that has been requested, it was a fake." Jenna explained. "WHAT!?" The man in the dark cloak shouted angrily as he marched towards Jenna grabbing her by the shirt and glaring directly in her eyes, she was frightened at the sudden action. "W-we were interrupted by a couple of freaks… and… forced out..." She exclaimed to the man as she was slightly lying. The man dropped her, "Continue." He stated as he was curious who got in the way. "Some kind of turtle freaks, I don't know really. But they were hanging around some girl who had the statue for the blueprint, or at least I thought. I sent someone after them but that someone hasn't returned, which means they must've been defeated." She said to the cloaked man as she wiped at her shirt.
The man growled loudly, and it didn't sound like any normal typical growl or that of one from a human at least. The three turtles were slightly shocked at the sudden loud growl as something seemed very off, "A fake!?" The cloaked man growled again as he peered at the pockets of Jenna and noticed the broken in half statue that was very familiar to him. He instantly jolted and grabbed the statue from her pockets, this shocked Jenna as it was very fast. The man turned away from her as he gazed down at the broken statue in his hands, and crushed it into bits easily. He angrily growled loudly again and turned instantly to Jenna and the other man, he quickly removed his cloak and grew in size and apparently by the looks of it, also strength. Everyone saw this cloaked man clearly now as he roared in anger, he was a dragon like mutant, he growled in Jenna's face, "Look at me! I can easily wipe this entire place to pieces if I wanted to, but I need you and your scums in order to find that statue and the chip inside of it!" He yelled at Jenna and turned to look at the other man as he was also remarking it towards him.
Jenna had her eyes closed tightly and gulped in fear, but she wasn't afraid to ask the one question on her mind that wouldn't cease. "If you don't mind me asking… Why do you need the statue and chip inside of it? Isn't it just a normal chip and blueprint?" Jenna asked as she didn't dare look at the dragon mutant in the eyes. The dragon turned and looked at her and moved closer to her as he placed his hand under her chin and growled, "The chip is from my world, it was lost many many centuries ago here on this forsaken planet called earth. It contains a blueprint for a teleporter, which will be used to bring forth an army that will take over this forsaken boring planet!" He stated as he answered her question and slowly gave Jenna a scratch mark on her cheek that began to bleed, with one of his very sharp claws, showing his dominance.
The dragon mutant instantly began to sniff as he removed his claw from Jenna's cheek, he smelt something in the air. "Were being watched and listened upon." He remarked and instantly looked up towards the open window where the three turtles were as he gained a whiff of turtle smell from the air entering the window. The three turtles noticed this as the dragon mutant glared at them and let out a raging roar, wings appeared all of a sudden from his back as he growled "You must be the so called turtle freaks who got in the way!" He growled as he leapt from where he was standing at the three turtles. Raph instantly jumped back and grabbed Donnie and Mikey by the shells also pulling them back and out of the way as the dragon mutant flew straight through the window they were earlier peering through, he easily crashed through the window and broke most the stone structure around it that supported it. The three turtles could easily tell that this mutant was no ordinary mutant as he also remarked he was from another world, he was overwhelmingly powerful and strong and would most likely break or shatter someone's bone by just hitting them with the amount of force this dragon was showing and implementing.
Both Donnie and Mikey clinged to Raph as they screamed in fear and pointed at the dragon. "DUDE! I KNEW SOMETHING WAS OFF!" Mikey shouted frighteningly, "So much for staying out of combat…" Donnie sobbed. The dragon spun around and turned to face the three turtles who were looking up at him as he flew still in the air, "Will you two knock it off!" Raph shouted and shook his brothers off of him and growled angrily at the dragon, "I've been needing something to pound tonight! Bring it!" Raph shouted. "Raph, hold on! Getting hit by him could instantly break or shatter your bones, legitimately, Not even our shells will protect our ribs or spines enough to not break because of the impact he seems to have." Donnie shouted at him worriedly. Raph popped his knuckles and laughed, "Then I won't get hit!" The dragon let out another raged roar and smirked at Raph, "I like your enthusiasm, turtle!" he growled as he darted towards Raph.
"OH oh oh oh! I got it!" Mikey shouted excitedly as Raph dodged the incoming attack from the dragon, Donnie looked at Mikey confusingly, "What?" Donnie asked him. "Let's call him Dragor!" Mikey said excitedly as he pointed at the dragon giving him a nickname. "Mikey… that's actually not bad." Donnie stated as he placed his hand on his chin showing small amazement. "I know it is! I am Doctor Prankenstein after all!" Mikey said as he chuckled, Dragor instantly got up after crashing into the ground, missing his attack on Raph, he stood on all fours and let out a large growl and moved his gaze to Mikey and Donnie who were giving him a name and he didn't care at all. Dragor let out another large roar as his mouth and neck began to light up, Donnie instantly knew what that meant, "Raph, MOVE!" Donnie shouted at him.
Raph had no time to move as a line of blazing flames were shot out from Dragor's mouth and directly at him, Raph instantly popped into his shell and was sent crashing into the building wall from the force of the flames but thankfully enough the flames didn't seep through the open parts of the shell and burned him. Dragor turned his gaze back at Mikey and Donnie and growled as he charged at them raising his claws about to swipe them at the two turtles, both Mikey and Donnie were too freaked out at the sight of a dragon and clung to one another screaming in fear, "Were so dead!" Donnie sobbed as he clinged to Mikey as his eyes were clutched closed, not prepared for the incoming attack. The attack never came though, both Mikey and Donnie opened an eye and looked up and noticed Dragor's attack was blocked, it was Leo, his two swords were clinging with Dragor's claws and he was forced down on one knee as he held Dragor back. "LEO!?" Both Mikey and Donnie shouted happily in surprise.
