That's right. Not one, not two, but three parts, babeh! WOOOOO!
Kara sat on the bed in her temporary room within the temple thinking over the biggest mistake she had made. Not that there was much to do anyways, her eyes lowering to her chained ankle, it rattling softly as she gave it a nudge while following the chain to the wall at the other end of the room. Goes to show Baron wasn't completely heartless, "No, you should of learned from before..you shouldn't have trusted him. I have to get out of here. I have to free the others and stop Baron before he puts on the armor." She stood to her feet, grabbed the chain, and started to pull as hard as she could but it nor the hinge attached to the wall budged but that didn't stop her from trying til she pulled too hard, slipping off her feet and landing on the bed.
Letting out a heavy groan she sat up but froze for a moment when she heard the door unlock and open to see the gargoyle brothers carrying in a tray of food for her that was covered. Before they could say anything though she was right in front of them, "Guys, you have to set me free! I want to see Baron. I-I change my mind, I want to be evil again." She grabbed their tiny legs to keep them from flying away.
"Oh yeah? Prove it?" Huginn asked, crossing his arms and giving her a stare only to blink when she threw Muninn across the room and into the opposite wall, she mentally apologizing to him as he flopped on to the bed. He shakily brought his tiny arm up in a thumbs up only for it to drop. "Ok! You convinced me." Huginn said with a smile before flying over to the food and lifting up the cover to reveal two keys to unlock the chain and door as well as her charm and glove. She stared at them flabbergasted, "What the? Why did you let me do that if you were gonna give me the keys anyways?"
"Because he ate my slice of cake." Huginn whispered close to her making her blow raspberries and laugh, "Thank you, guys." She grabbed the key and released herself from her chains, rubbing her ankle idly, and put her glove on while running out the door.
She raced down the corridors using her wings to give her some momentum til she found herself in the dungeon filled with cages lifted off the ground with chains. Hearing their voices she looked around til she found a control panel.
"I gotta say, I'm not feeling this Hamato Clan stuff at all." Leo said after Raph's meditated freak out.
"Me neither." Mikey added.
"Yeah, no one is, but pa-pah will chew his tail off if we don't stick to the rule book." Donnie pointed out.
"Well, look where the rule book landed us!" Raph shouted while moving to his feet, holding his arms out for emphasis. "I say we ditch this Hamato jazz and be ourselves."
Everyone gave their shouts of agreement, Donnie and Mikey high fiving while Leo dabbed.
"So, what are you gonna do, boss man?" Leo asked still in his dabbing pose.
"I'm smashing us out." Raph said as he revved his punch backwards only to stumble and smack face first into the bars of their prison, all of them losing their footing for a moment as they were lowered to the ground.
"Wait, was that all it took? You could of done that the whole time?" Leo asked as their gate was open to reveal Kara at the controls.
They stayed where they stood looking apprehensive, and she didn't blame them. Giving them a look, she bit her lip for a moment and took a step back, "Hurry. We don't have much time." She said before running off to find the armor.
Figuring they were right behind her she flew straight to the top where Baron and the armor wait. Having her weapon at the ready to fight the army of teens and Foot Lieutenants only to stand in the middle of unconscious bodies decorating the floor. She opened her mouth while her eyes scanned her surroundings to see April on the side with a bat in her hand. Wait? "April?!" She exclaimed while dropping her weapon.
April turned her head readying her bat only to have Kara pulling her into a hug, "I'm so glad you're ok!" Her voice cracked with a tear running down her face but the smile of relief was clear on her face before pulling away the confused April, "Don't worry. I'm here to help. The guys should be here soon. I'll try to buy you some time." Her weapon flew back into her hand leaving the sputtering April behind and made her way to Baron Draxum.
When her feet planted on the floor of the top she walked on the scene of Splinter and Baron Draxum fighting, stopping to watch them display their abilities in a fight with Splinter ending it by sending him to the ground with his "Hot Soup" punch.
"Very impressive. I see you still have that warrior's spirit. Too bad I can't say the same for your sons." Draxum grunted with his hand over his stomach in pain while standing to his feet.
"No more games." Splinter said low in a threatening tone.
"They must be so frightened. Trapped. Alone. In a place where you'll never find them. And without their weapons." Draxum dropped a sack in front of Splinter that opened up to show the turtles weapons inside, this making Splinter drop to his knees in sadness, gently picking up Leo's Odachi.
"Ah, Kara, I see you've come out of time out." He lifted his head to see her walking towards them, moving her blade in front of Splinter making it seem as though she was threatening him to stay still. "And you've learned your lesson. I knew you were an intelligent girl." He said with a smirk, staring down at the broken Splinter.
"No, I am rather stupid, actually." She muttered to herself before looking at Splinter, "Don't worry, sir, your sons are fine." She said, making him look up at her to see her smiling at him before she stared at the man in front of her and moved to Splinter's side moving her weapon in an offensive position behind her and over Splinter. "I'm here to stop you, Draxum." She narrowed her eyes, frowning slightly.
His brows lifted slightly before glaring at her, "It seems I need to teach you a different lesson."
"No more lessons! You're too focused on your mission that you don't realize you're being used!" She gripped the staff, bending her knees slightly and charged at him while swinging her weapon. He caught the blade with a grimace, "I taught you everything. You hold no surprises for me."
"That's what you think!" She used her other hand to grab his, keeping him in place, and then punched his gut with her lower arms as hard as she could, adding more pain from Splinter's previous attack. He let out a painful grunt, his body stunned and so she slid her hand down her weapon while gripping it tight and slashed down not only cutting his hand but also his mask. He stumbled backwards but she was right on top of him, not giving him time to regain his senses. "You taught me nothing but fear and hatred!" She screamed.
While they fought back at the home of Brilliance and Leafe, Leafe was watering her plants when the sword in the stone began to pulse and glow. "What the?" She walked towards the sword and touched it. "Ye must find Kara Sharper! Quickly, I need tae be wi her now!" Hearing the urgency in her voice Leafe nodded and rushed off while bringing her phone out to message Donnie but he never responded unaware he left his phone at home.
Splinter watched Kara fighting off Draxum. To the naked, untrained eye they seemed to be on par but those with experience it was clear Draxum was getting the upper hand. She spun around, flapping her wings to bring up a cloud of sleep powder, aiming it at him but he used his vines to not only disperse the cloud but sent them at her. She flew into the sky slicing at them all til three came out from the shadows behind her, two wrapping around her upper body and entrapping her arms at her side and the other around her neck.
He jerked her down to him staring at Splinter, " We can do this two ways: You can give me the final piece now or I can torture this poor, defenseless girl until you do so! Make your choice." He slowly began to squeeze her, the gargoyles flying off his shoulders, "Boss, i-is this really necessary?"
"Yeah, this is just teen rebellion. I'm sure she'll grow out of it." Huginn and Muninn explained nervously.
"Silence! She betrayed me the moment she stepped foot on this stage and now she will pay the price." Draxum narrowed his eyes watching her struggle.
"Leave her out of this!" Splinter shouted.
Through pained grunts she tilted her head in his direction, "D-Don't worry about me. Quick. F-Find your s-so-sons. H-hurry!" She continued to struggle against her restraints til he squeezed tighter to the point of causing her to let out a scream, it echoing all the way down to the boys.
Draxum flinched slightly hearing her scream of pain, his vines loosening ever so slightly and his head snapping in his direction, "What will it be, rat?!"
Splinter said nothing, closing his eyes for a moment only to open them again while bringing out Leo's sword. Draxum hesitated thinking he was going to attack only for him to move the blade to his side, making a small portal and pulling out a teapot with a face on it.
"Wait, Splints, what are you doing?!" April shouted.
"No, stop! Just run!" Kara grunted.
"I'm sorry, you two, but my sons care about you. And so do I." He said, staring right into her eyes.
Kara's eyes widened upon hearing this, tears welling in her eyes, only to blink when she was suddenly moving, "Yes!" She heard as she was tossed through the air, flying past April and Splinter watching them reach out for her as she fell over the edge and towards the ground but quickly caught herself, hissing in pain as she strained her muscles and forced herself to fly back up meeting the guys to the top in time to see Draxum in front of the armor.
Splinter and the turtles' reunion wasn't given the time to be heartfelt for Splinter and Kara flew at Draxum to stop him from completing the armor but it was too late; the last piece attaching itself to the armor which not only caused an explosion that sent Kara and Splinter back into the arms of the guys and April but burst into a pinkish flame. Kara covered her mouth in horror while gripping Donnie's arm that was holding her they watching as the armor seemed to come alive and attach itself to Draxum piece by piece til he was completely consumed.
"At last, I can end the human threat once and for all." Draxum stated only for Raph to fly at him, "Not if we have anything to say!" His fist charged red he went for a punch but was stopped by an invisible force, his red aura cracking like thunder til Draxum flicked him away like a pest, sending him crashing to the ground on top of his family.
"Draxum, what have you done.." Kara watched in horror as he gave them an example of the armor's power by breaking apart some pillars and swinging them around. "Ok, question, was he always strong enough to do that?" Leo asked just before Draxum sent the pillars down on them. Kara buried her head into Donnie's plastron, he putting his arms around to her to block the rubble from hitting her but when she lifted her head she noticed a large piece coming down on Splinter so she rushed out of his arms to save him, pushing him out of the way and getting crushed instead unaware that he ended up getting hurt regardless, her efforts once again in vain.
One by one the boys popped their heads out of the rubble.
"Guys? Everybody ok?" Raph asked til he and the others heard groaning. Lifting a piece of rubble up they saw their dad in terrible shape.
"Dad?"
"My. Sons." Splinter groaned in pain.
"Dad, are you hurt?" Leo asked, he, Mikey, and Donnie getting close in worry.
"Of course, I am hurt!" He shouted til a pile of dirt landed on his face.
"We shall miss you, father." Donnie said with dramatic sorrow and a shovel in hand.
After wiping the dirt off he said this, "I am not Rest in Peace hurt. I am Rest on the Couch hurt!"
"Dad, we got to apologize. We tried to follow the way of the Hamato Clan but it just didn't work for us." Raph said in sorrow and regret.
"No, no, it is I who should apologize to you. The scrolls were wrong and I was wrong to make you follow them."
"So, you're not mad at us?" Mikey asked.
"No. It is not training or rules or tradition that makes you special; it is being yourselves. If I had faith in how special you each are none of this would have happened."
"I don't normally feel things but that one got through." Donnie said as he and his brothers fought back tears before giving their injured father a hug, who let out a painful cry, "I just had my spine crushed! Here, I brought you something." Splinter held out their colored masks, the boys ripping their uniforms off in perfect sync and grabbed their weapons, posing with their old confidence.
"Now, go, and be your awesome selves!" Splinter shouted only to blink when he heard a groan and looked down to see Kara's out stretched hand coming from under a large chunk of rubble. "Boys! Help me!" He yelled, getting their attention and saw her hand. Each of them froze for a moment before Raph rushed over and lifted the rubble off her wings covering her body but the oozing blood was evident on her head.
Donnie was next, bending down next to her body to look over her injuries, "She may have a concussion. It'd be best not to move her-"
"We can't leave her here." Leo said sternly, narrowing his eyes slightly.
"If we move her it could worsen her condition." Donnie responded with the same amount of stern.
"Mayhem!" April shouted, getting everyone's attention as she hugged her pet. "You guys stop the Baron and we'll take care of Splinter and Kara. BAM!"
Donnie stared at her as if hesitant til April gave him a reassuring smile, "She risked her life for me. I promise you she's in good hands." He gave her a smile and nod before standing up and pressing a button on his wrist device summoning his drill.
"Yeah-hah! Time to finally see what this baby can do!" Leo shouted while his brothers exclaimed in awe.
Sighing, Donnie said this, "Again, the drill is in beta but it does contain the back-up copies of my tech."
Once the guys were out of sight Mayhem teleported them back to the Lair where April and Mayhem both treated Splinter and Kara.
"We shouldn't move her again." April said after having finished wrapping her head and patching her bruises up.
"I must look after my boys though. This enemy we are dealing with is completely different than what they're use to. She will be safe here."
April nodded before Mayhem teleported them to the stadium they were fighting in leaving Kara unconscious to recover.
Leafe, in her human form, had given up on contacting Donnie and instead went the old fashion way of searching the city on a scooter til she stopped after passing a pawn shop with a bunch of TVs on display showing the baseball game but instead of two sports team there was an armored figure fighting the guys. "What...what is that?! I better hurry.." She gulped while revving her scooter and driving off faster, "I'm scared..but I have to help them."
I can't believe I finished the first season of this show! I'm excited for the future and I hope you are too! Reviews are nice but so are hugs and I will take both. Til next time!
