Leo cut up another Kraang bot. After the last major fights being with either ninjas, scientists, or mutated people that weren't actually mutants, the gang finally got back into the groove by mowing down Kraang in an abandoned warehouse, and in New York, there were plenty of warehouses to go around. "You know, this is nice!" He shouted.
"No weird gimmicks, no freaky powers, no fleshy skin. Just senseless violence to vent our daily frustrations on." Raph grinned as he stabbed one in the head.
"Never one for excessive violence, but I absolutely agree on venting frustrations." Spidey said as he punched a few more Kraang. "Also, creative quipping. The aim of Kraang is that which is known as terrible!"
"The one known as the Man of Spider shall have you known that Kraang is what is known as an expect that can shoot off what is known as an apple off the one known as the Man of Spider's he-" They didn't finish as Mikey wrapped his chain around them and flung them into the wall.
"Best part about their weird lingo is that they get easily distracted too. They can't be that smart if they still can't speak better than a five year old." Mikey laughed as he swept another one with a kick.
"Well the technology says they're smarter than-" Donnie was about to joke, until his attack did nothing. "Oh come on, why am I the one stuck with the stick!?" Because Splinter gave it to him.
"Doesn't that thing have a metal tip? Use it instead of the wood side." Spidey said as he began shooting webs at the Kraang's legs, yanking them onto the ground.
"That's not the point!" Donnie complained as he did so, charging forward as he speared one of the Kraang into the wall. "I'm fighting aliens from another dimension and I'm going against them with.." A laser blast hit the staff, breaking it in half. "A giant stick!"
"Well it's not the most advanced weapons, but Mikey makes Nunchucks work, and they're the most impractical of weapons in martial arts." Spidey said as he tossed another Kraang droid away.
"We can focus on getting Donnie a new stick later." Leo said, trying to get them back on track. "Right now we should focus on the Kraang."
"Leo, it's the Kraang." Raph rolled his eyes. "Besides numbers, they have nothing."
"Kraang! Bring out the new weapon to be used on the ones that are called the turtles and the one known as the Man of Spiders!" One of the Kraang shouted as the back doors of the warehouse were opened.
"Aw, a present? And three months before Christmas too. You shouldn't have!" Spidey joked … before the giant cannon the size of a truck was rolled out. "You really … really shouldn't have. Seriously, are you guys compensating for the size of your brains?"
"The one known as the man of spider's is what is known as compensating for his soon to be short life with his big mouth." The Kraang weapon began glowing pink.
"They really are getting more mouthy when around you." Leo noted. "On a side note, everybody scatter!"
Everyone screamed and ran in separate directions as the giant pink laser blast when off, turning everything coming into its blast into cinders and smelting holes. "Laser tanks, why do all the bad guys get all the awesome weapons!?" Mikey shouted as he jumped over the blasts.
"I'm getting sick of it!" Donnie yelled as he ducked under another blast. "The Kraang are constantly upgrading themselves to take us out, I need to do the same to keep the playing field even!"
"Can you save the self reflection for when we're not about to get our shells melted into soup!?" Raph compared
"I dunno, I find time to mix in that stuff." Spidey moved around the room, the giant laser melting every spot he landed on as he kept circling the area. "The life and death mindset really runs every cylinder at once." The spandex hero landed right in front of the cannon as it began charging up. "Like letting the massive cannon destroy every support structure inside of the warehouse."
"Destroy every.." Leo looked up and saw that with everyone running around, the Kraang had fired at every support beam in the building, and now the ceiling was about to collapse on them. "You could've given us a heads up on the plan, you know?"
"And ruin the surprise after they worked so hard for theirs, I don't think so." Spidey lept to the ground. "I believe the sound of groaning metal is your cue to leave." Spidey could almost be heard smirking under the mask as he looked at the Kraang, a piece of metal falling next to them.
"The one known as the man of spiders shall face what is known as hubris in the time that is known as eventually." One of the Kraang announced as they made their retreat.
"And score one for us. Let's get out of here." Spidey shot a line to the exit as more screws began to fall from the ceiling.
"Wait!" Donnie shouted. "Bring the broken droids! I wanna see if I can use their tech!"
"Are you seriously thinking about this when the building's about to collapse on top of us!?" Leo was annoyed as his brainiac brother. And everyone said Leo was the obsessive one with his love of Space heroes.
"Help me get the droid parts and I can recreate a real life replica of the plasma blade from episode 49 of Space Heroes."
"You heard the turtle!" Leo rushed in to grab some of the laser that fell to the ground.
"I hate everyone here, so much right now." Raph groaned.
"I get Spidey goes unspoken, but what did I do?" Mikey asked as he picked up a leftover arm off the ground.
"I'll figure it out later. Shouldn't be that hard." Again, it was nice to finally go back to the basics of crime fighting.
Peter overlooked the 'stomach area' from the multiple bots they recovered. The moment they made it back to the lair, Donnetello was almost too eager to head back into the lab with the Kraang tech. "Weird … it's a physical interface, but the amount of precision needed to utilize it the way the Kraang do is almost neural." He slid over one of the buttons slowly, watching the arm raise as the fingers constantly shifted into different hands.
"That right there is the key for full autonomous control." Donnie was practically drooling over the machine. "The applications for that one component alone are almost endless. Virtual reality, cyberspace, telepathic communication. This right here is proof of mind over matter."
He was almost as intimate with the machinery as he was with that April picture … if only brain bleach was a thing. "Doesn't matter if we can't operate it ourselves. With so little of a hitbox, I'm pretty sure only Mikey could pilot any robot we manage to make."
"What makes you say that?"
"Don't you see how good he is at multitasking? The mental strain requires a brain that's mailable and he's.." He pointed to the open door of the lair, where Mikey was connectraring on playing a game on his phone while kicking a bean bag and munching on a pizza. "You know." Eh, the dude was still good at fighting and funny, so Peter gave him a pass.
"Your point is taken … maybe we can cut out some of the finer features then. Make more buttons for tool based tasks that can be operated with a handheld controller, like sliding options on a loadout."
"Dude, everything we need for that is in a basic gaming system. We can literally make a robot and control it like a video game." Spidey snapped his fingers.
"Right. Then we just upload the wireless chip inside and expand the range to the three pronged sensor and …" Donnie messed with a few wires, stepping back and pressing a few buttons on the console controller, watching as the arms managed to move more evenly. "Haha, success! Robotics will soon be conquered, just like genetics!"
It was nice to talk about science with someone again. Gwen and Eddie … weren't options anymore. Harry actually needed him to tutor him, something else Peter had to juggle at the moment, and Irma was surprisingly intelligent, but a bit too cynical for his brand of conversation. "So what are you actually going to put in this guy?" Spidey asked.
"Well for starters, we need to make sure this little guy is idiot proof, so above all else, we need to waterproof it for when it's around Mikey." Donnie noted.
"Right, that shouldn't be too hard, if we can manage to lock down the wires." Peter nodded. "We should focus on metals next, maybe some iron to prevent it from denting as easily as the Kraang?" Would weigh it down a ton though.
"It does astonish me how fragile their metal is when it's capable of holding in so much advanced circuitry." Donnie pointed out.
Peter hummed as he looked it over. "It's weird … I don't think I've actually seen this kinda stuff before. Do you think the gravity of wherever these guys came from affected the density?"
"That would indicate that wherever they come from has a lighter gravity than earth's, although that ponders whether that's from being on a different planet or being in a different dimension."
"If it's a different dimension then we'd have to consider an entirely separate set of physics." Spidey pointed out. "Imagine if weak force and electromagnetic force functioned in reverse?"
"That's not even going into their biologies and how they evolved, their structures suggest they don't require a skeletal structure." Donnie noted. "They probably have the same lung structure though, otherwise they'd be dead the moment they left the Kraang suits."
"Wouldn't that save us a lot of trouble if that was the case." He looked it over the schematics they had drawn. "Though if we're going for slow but sturdy, probably best to pack as much as you can into it."
"That was the plan." Donnie pulled out a cart. "Now with your web shooters, I was hoping to add a feature where we just detonate the material itself, like with Snakeweed but on purpose. Sort of a non-lethal grenade."
"Oh, web grenade, I love the sound of that." Spidey chuckled. "Speaking off, I was planning on messing with the formula a little more since we've made it less conductive. I was thinking we could make it more conductive and have taser webs."
"We'd need to run a feed based on the amount of electricity needed to knock out a man, maybe focus on a microcharge attached to the casing itself?" Donnie suggested. "But then we'd be stretching the budget …"
"Oh, I um … actually got a job recently." Spidey admitted.
"Really? How'd you manage to get something flexible enough to ditch whenever?"
He was safe from answering that particular question due to a knock on the door, followed by Leo opening the slider. "Spidey, are you busy?"
"Technically yes, but I'm free for a chat if you are." The vigilante replied.
"April made a chat site for strange sightings and found a Kraang outpost, but since it's day we can't check it out right away. Then said she was gonna go on her own …"
"Got it, I'm on bodyguard duty." He looked at Donnie. "Sorry man, I'd love to chat more about science but.."
"Oh no, I get it, April needs someone to watch over her, the last thing I want-WE want is for her to fall into enemy hands again." Donnie quickly corrected himself with a blush.
"Riiiight." Peter, politely, ignored that little slip up and walked on out. Dude was going to be in for a lot of heartache..unless April was into giant turtles, which was about a 40-60 chance. "Sure you don't want me to handle this solo, April?" He asked. "Wouldn't be the first time I've gone out on my own."
"I'm sure, we need as much as we can get against the Kraang." The girl stated firmly. "Besides, what if Parker comes by to try and take some photos again?" As if he needed reminders of how much he screwed up.
"Right, the last thing we need is some highschool dweeb poking his nose into alien business." He sighed, knowing he WAS that highschool dweeb. Not only has April being involved with both aspects of his life complicated everything, he couldn't take any more photos without suspicion of HOW Peter Parker getting them spreading to the girl and the Turtles.
"Don't worry, I've been working on a way to fix cameras." Mikey placed tin foil antennae and goggles on his head. "Now, all they'll see is a giant bug, not a turtle."
"You're truly a master of disguise, my young green friend." Spidey snickered as he made his way out. So Peter Parker was losing touch with over half of his closest friends, so what? New York was still safe from aliens, mutants, and mad scientists, and he still had five people that liked him as Spider-man….well, four and a half, amicable was probably the best he could hope for with Raph.
Raph idly fed Spike some more leaves. "There there, make sure to fuel yourself up little guy." He said softly.
"Still getting nightmares about the zoo?" Leo asked with a raised eye.
"If I wasn't worried about getting caught, I'd be busting all the turtles out of there." It just didn't seem right, being a turtle that was free to walk about almost as much as he wanted while they just sat idly on rocks all day..
"They should at least be set up with a TV or something." Mikey groaned while …
"Are you writing in a Diary?" Raph asked. "I knew you weren't manly, but that's a new low."
"Nah, I'm writing up names in advance, so I can actually say them instead of people just calling it out!" He shouted. "And I'm not the one being a complete soft-shell right now cuddling my little green buddy."
"Hey, you leave Spike out of this." He was ten times better than anyone else here. Other than Master Splinter of course. "Anyone seen Donnie? I want to see if he has anything sciency and hard I can whack Mikey with."
"He was working with Spidey on something big before he left." Leo responded as they watched Space Heroes. "It looked like they were meshing a bunch of Kraang droids together."
"Perfect, I was wondering when we needed to prepare for the robot apocalypse." Raph rolled his eyes. "Now when everyone wonders how it happened, I'll point them in the direction of the two knuckleheads that made it possible."
"Hey, when it happens, that means one of us gets to time travel to stop before it ever happens." Mikey added pointless ideas like always. "Although if we stop it before it happens, we won't remember it means we won't go back and the whole thing starts again, making us go back…"
"Donnie, come out of the lab before Mikey bursts his brain again." Leo called out to prevent the tangent from getting worse. "The little there is anyways."
The door opened, as the familiar nerd he called a brother walked out. "Gentle turtles, Raph." He was asking for a slap. "May I introduce you to the newest member of the family." There was a metallic stomp, everyone watching as a small metal midget came through the door, square looking all over, with a sewer lid for a shell. Blue eyes looked all around. "This is my new weapon, the future of ninjutsu."
"Huh, I always pictured the future of ninjutsu to be taller." Raph gave an unimpressive glare to the tin can.
"Aw, it's adorable!" Mikey got up close with beady eyes. "Just look at its little metal head, goochie goochie goo." Their little brother began scratching the thing's chin. The tin can made a growling noise, as its body produced multiple weapons from missile launchers, gatling guns, flamethrowers, lasers, and stuff that made Raph mildly impressed with Donnie for a change.
"So you just threw an entire arsenal together?" Leo asked.
"Precisely. It'll do all the hard stuff while we watch from a distance. I can beat up any threat, from the comfort of the couch." They said with a smug tone.
"Ahh, I see, it's for wimps too scared to fight." Raph smirked.
"No, it's for wimps too smart to fight." The brainiac laughed, before realizing what he said. "I mean I...Oh you know what I meant."
"So what are you gonna call this thing?" Leo asked.
Donnie opened his mouth. "Metal Head." Mikey answered without hesitation. "Don't try and argue on this one, it's perfect!"
"The name doesn't matter if it's just going to be another pile of scrap." Raph pointed out. "You know robots basically replace punching bags by this point for us, right?"
"Hate to say it, but Raph kind of has a point." It was always a victory whenever Leo agreed. "The weapons are good and all, but if it's going to take your place, it removes the whole point of being a ninja."
"No, that's exactly the point of being a ninja." Donnie smiled like a doof. "It's adapting and utilizing what we have to our advantage."
"Well yeah but … every step is super loud." Leo pointed out the obvious. "Ninjas are supposed to stick to silence."
"So he's a little bit on the heavy side, that's not going to matter when nothing can get past him." Donnie smirked. "Go ahead, come at him with all you got."
"I'd say I'd hate to break your latest toy, but that would make me a liar." Raph flipped out his sai's and rushed forward, having the sole intention to tear the little scrapheap to as many tiny pieces as possible.
That changed to confusion when his attack just bounced off the head. Taking a second to process that, he went harder, trying to penetrate the armor all over the body, only for nothing to get through that tin dome. "I believe it's, what did Mikey call it, 'Metal Heads', turn." With a flick of the button, a metal arm raised forward, launching off a rocket fist right at Raph.
"Rocket fist, nice." Mikey cheered as Raph was sent into the wall.
"Be lucky I'm more angry at the walking trash can then you right now." Raph got up again, this time flipping off the ceiling so he could attack it from the air and pound it into the ground.
The robot just turned its fist mid air, deflecting the attack. Its other arm moved up as its fingers spun, shooting lasers at the red turtle. "Oh come on, lasers!?"
"Thought it would be a nice touch. Be lucky I'm going easy on you and not busting out the grenades." Donnie mocked him.
"You packed grenades in that thing?" Leo asked.
"Oh my simple brothers … I packed everything I could find." The nerd smirked as his phone began to ring. Donnie pulled it out, answering. "April?"
"We need help! The Kraang here are a bit peeved after last time." April explained in a panicked voice.
"Seriously!? Five laser cannons in one warehouse!? That seems like overcompensating, even by your small brained standards!" Well, it seemed the web head was still in one piece, so April had a jumping spandex body shield to protect her. They could afford to walk there.
"Don't worry, we'll be there in a jiffy, sweetie-I mean honey-I mean April, I mean…!" Donnie began to panic.
"We'll be there in a second, hopefully with the rest of Donnie's brain still intact." Leo answered before shutting off the nerd's phone. "You have got to yourself in order, man, it's starting to look sad."
"I know …" The turtle sighed. "Hopefully, the long distance will help. Come on Metelhead, let's send you out on your first field mission!"
"Wait, you're using the junk pile now? Raph questioned sternly.
"Duh, full arsenal of explosions and lasers, why wouldn't I use it now? I prove it's usefulness, kick Kraang butt, and save my sweet princess in the process." Donnie gleamed. Yeah, because all girls wanted to be safe by robots with manhole covers on their backs. "Wins all around."
"Don, I don't know, you've barely had time to test it." Leo tried to interject.
"Come on Leo, I swear I got this all covered." Donnie held up his remote controller. "As long as this baby's in my hands, absolutely nothing will go wrong."
Leo looked at him seriously, before sighing. "We don't have time for the argument, come on, let's move."
Metalhead began to walk at a … very slow rate. "You installed every weapon, but no turbo features?" Raph asked with a raised eye.
"I packed a literal arsenal inside of it. I had to cut the corners somewhere." Donnie explained as it still kept walking. "You guys keep going, Metalhead will catch up…" More slow stomping to the exit was heard. "Eventually."
Kraang was prepared for a rematch with the one known as the Man of Spiders. Kraang reinforced the support pillars, brought more fire power, and more soldiers … the one known as the Man of Spiders, however, was sadly superior at still that which is known as quipping.
"So, what's with the silver and blue theme? Is the superiority of your ranks based on how quickly you give up, or is the color scheme speaking of an inner melancholy for doing evil things?" The one known as the man of spiders continued to inquire on information that was known only to Kraang.
"Kraang has no reason to respond to the inquiry of the man of spiders about what is known as the fashion sense of Kraang, something the man of spiders clearly has little to no information about." Kraang responded as Kraang fired off the lasers, only it to hit Kraang.
"Oh this clearly has a purpose. It's to put a big bullseye on me to make it easier for bad guys to hit me. After all, while you may have improved your vocabulary to a minor degree, your aim still needs work and you clearly need all the handicaps you can get." They shot that which is known as a web, launching Kraang into a wall that shattered the head unit.
"Is this how every fight goes? No wonder Raph is always ten seconds away from gutting you." The one known as April O'Neil commented behind a box.
"Oh, turtles are one thing, but to be criticized by a damsel in distress? Oh that is a wound even the Kraang can't inflict on me." The one known as the man of spiders sighed dramatically, the laser cannons aiming as they fully charged once more.
"I'm not a damsel! I'm just…letting you help me out of this current situation, and making sure no nosey reporters are around." The one known as April O'Neil responded back with a low grumble.
"Reporter?" Kraang next to them inquired. "The one known as April O'Neil may be in contact with the leak of Kraang information that is known only to Kraang." That would be a bad scenario, considering the skill of the ones who call themselves the turtles capable of making their way through Kraang bases.
"Okay, try to save the commentary for when we're out of the earshot of those known as the Kraang, you're giving them ideas, and the thinking Kraang are dangerous Kraang." The one known as the man of spiders accurately spoke as he wrapped Kraang into Kraang, smashing the bodies to pieces.
"Alright, yeah, point taken." The one known as April O'Neil muttered as they went back to their place of hiding. The objective was so close, if Kraang obtained her, Kraang could complete the invasion known as the invasion of the city known as New York. Kraang just needed to move past the one known as the man of spiders. "Dang it guys, where the heck are you!?"
"Booyakasha!" The windows burst open as three of the ones known as the turtles rolled onto the floor.
"Do you have to shout that every time we burst into somewhere?" The one the turtles referred to as 'Rapheal' rolled their eyes. "What the shell does that even mean?"
"It's a 'boyah!', but much more awesome." The one the turtles referred to as 'Michelangelo' spoke with a jovial expression.
"Hey, I won't argue with it if I get some breathing room." The one known as the man of spiders replied, messing with their arms and fixing a cartridge under their suit.
"Kraang, make note that the one known as the man of spider uses a machine for the object known as a web." More information for Kraang to analyze at a later date.
"Kraang assumed the ability was organic." Kraang responded in confusion.
"Why does everyone just assume that immediately?" The one known as the man of spiders grumbled.
"Perhaps the one known as the man of spiders is what is referred to as 'challenged' in more than just the mental capacity." Kraang next to Kraang theorized.
"Oh that's it, no more mr nice Spidey!" The one known as the man of spiders swung over to the laser cannon, moving to the side and hitting it with enough force to reach within, yanking out wires.
"Note to self, don't piss off the web head." The one the turtles referred to as Leonardo said as he began slicing away Kraang droid heads.
"Don't know, kind of like him better like this." The one known as 'Rapheal' began stabbing brutally as the sparks began to fly all over the place. "Not that we can't do this, but how long is it going to take for that hunk of junk to be here!?"
"Don't know, stopped paying attention when it set off the fifth car alarm." The one known as Michelangelo answered as they whacked away a couple of Kraang arms.
"Sorry, sorry, haven't worked with elevation yet." Spoke a new interloper. A glance confirmed it was some inferior earth metal covering a small body, in a semi aquatic shape of the creature known as a turtle. "But don't worry, Metalhead's here to turn the tables and save the day!"
"Wait, is that what you and Spidey've been working on?" The one known as April O'Neil asked with confusion. "... It seems pretty small."
"It's not the size, but how you use it!" The one known as the man of spiders replied, avoiding more laser fire before pausing. "Wait, let me try and rephrase that."
"Did the Kraang have a point about compensation?" The one known as Raphael asked with what was known as a smirk.
"Metalhead may be small, but the power is anything but!" The automatron answered as it began spewing fire from its palms, forcing many Kraang to flee or be roasted. "Yes, run you fools! Run from the true power of the future! Fear me!"
"I think Donnie might be having a bit too much fun." The one known as the one called Michelangelo stated as they lazily attacked another Kraang.
"What gave it away, the maniacal laughter?" The one known as Leonardo grumbled as they avoided more laser fire. "Donnie, we really need those tanks out of commission!"
"On it, stand clear." The automatron with surprisingly advanced weaponry began firing lasers which were clearly technology that belonged to Kraang. Which implied the automatron was created from technology that belonged to Kraang. The enemies of Kraang should not be in possession of the technology that belonged to Kraang. "That's right! Eat hot plasma suckers! See how you like being on the other side of the blaster!"
"Dude, love your… enthusiasm-ah!" The Man of Spiders narrowly avoided being hit by the attack coming from the automatron as it spread its attacks more widespread.. "..But watch the friendly fire!" The automatron that fought on the side of the enemy was capable of harming their enemy…yes, this could prove to be what Kraang needed to stop all interlopers from interloping in the affairs of Kraang.
"Trying to, it's not easy when you keep moving around in the hitbox-" The automatron was cut off as its lasers hit a canister of flammable gas, sending them into what was known as a support pillar, sparks emanating from their mechanical body. "The signal cut, I can't move."
"This is what happens when you send a robot to do a ninja job." The one the turtles knew as Rapheal responded. " Well, time to do this the old fashion way."
With the interlopers back to being preoccupied with eliminating Kraang, it allowed Kraang time to approach the fallen automatron. "This machine that does violence to Kraang at one point did Violence for Kraang. Kraang believes this machine must go back to its original purpose." With a simple thought, Kraang's droid fell to the ground, allowing Kraang to crawl out and climb to the top of the automatron's head, where the control module was held.
"Guys, there's a Kraang ontop of MetalHead! You might want to back away!"
"Why are you worried? It's not like you left the control device exposed, right?" The one known as the man of spiders asked, met with silence as Kraang began to meld with the machine. "... Right?"
"Heheh….Ah…let's just say hindsight's 20/20…." The voice coming from the automatron got cut off as Kraang fitted itself onto its head. There was an initial shock, most likely due to the shoddy craftsmanship of this machine's creator, but it still held what belonged to Kraang, so Kraang was easily able to take control of what used to belong to Kraang.
"That which is known as the tables have done that which is known as, turned for Kraang. Where the tables will remain for Kraang." They responded, raising the new arms as they began testing random attack methods new to Kraang. "Kraang, retrieve the one known as April O'Neil for Kraang. Kraang will do that which is known as 'have fun'."
"Okay, I'm half intimidated by the voice, but the run-on sentence just sort of makes me lose interest." The one the turtles referred to as Michelangelo scratched their head.
"Then Kraang shall shorten Kraangs words. Kraang shall make what is known as soup out of you all." With that, he accessed what was admittedly a decently impressively sized arsenal, and chose the ones that would seem the most devastating at the moment.
"Who gave it exploding goo grenades?" The one the ones known as the turtles referred to as Leonardo shouted as they became that which was known as stuck.
"... My bad." The one known as the man of spiders apologized.
"Donnie, you are so lucky you're not here right now, or I would be pounding you and Spidey's heads together like two cracked eggs!" The one known as Rapheal shouted as Kraang unleashed more explosives and the rocket fists.
"Um, guys, not to order you around but …" The one known as April O'Neil stated as few Kraang approached.
"Oh come on now, I get your aliens, but is that anyway to treat a lady?" The one known as the man of spiders moved to attack, only for the rocket fist of Kraang to send the one known as the man of spiders off course. "Attacked by my own creation. I feel that's a metaphor for something in my life, but for the life of me I can't figure it out."
"You're life shall be what is known as extinguished, so there shall not be much time to figure it out." Not only was this body stronger, but it made their voice ten times what was known as 'cool'. Kraang would be jealous of Kraang.
Donnie finally made it inside of the building, after spending the last ten minutes running there. When this was all said and done, they should really invest in some transportation. Too bad he took apart most of the helicopter for the weapons, but the base was still there. He looked at the fight, watching as his own creation caused nothing but chaos. "So if Metalhead has a Kraang on his head, does that make him Kraanghead?" Well at least Spidey was taking it in stride.
"Dude, stop trying to name things, you had your fun with Electro." Mikey groaned as he flipped over a swarm of Kraang.
"Fine, then what would you call him?" Spidey asked as he tried to land a kick on the robot, only for it to barely budge. "Ow, Ow, Ow! I did not miss the days where metal didn't bend when I ran my foot into it!"
"I told you I made it more durable!" Donnie shouted as he dropped down, stabbing a Kraang that tried to sneak up on April. "Don't worry April, I'm here now!" No way he was going to let a single scratch come to her pretty little head.
"I'd be more reassured if you didn't make the thing currently trying to turn us into ash." She laughed weakly as Leo charged through more of the Kraang droids.
"Donnie, we need weak spots on your toy, now!" Leo shouted, noticing the cannon charge up. "We've already destroyed three of them-where are you getting these from!?"
"The ones known as turtles shall not learn where Kraang gets the weapons that are intended to be used for the destruction of the turt-"
"We get it!" Mikey shouted as he tried to jump it from behind, only to be hit with a hard punch to the gut. "Donnie…don't ever make toys for a living…they're too hazardous to our health…."
"Duly noted." He sighed as he glared at his creation. "You guys keep your focus on the other droids, me and Spidey will handle MetalHead."
"Sounds like a plan." Spidey landed next to him. "Seriously though, structural integrity, lightning, anything you didn't think of while making him?"
"Hey, you're the one that wanted me to be thorough." Donnie snarked back as Metalhead began powering up. "Speaking of … we should start moving."
"Not like I was planning on standing still!" Spidey flipped over to a nearby support beam. "Great, laser cannons and metal men, we do not need two threats at once."
"That's actually not a bad idea." Donnie commented as he looked over to the last charging cannon up laser cannon. "Two birds with one stone?"
"No prob. I'll keep Metalhead's attention." Spidey jumped up. "So, you upgraded from a minor nuisance to a tiny powerhouse. Did you think you needed to expose your brain to show off more of your gross body?"
"Kraang at least proves to all that Kraang has a brain to expose."
"Nice comeback." Spidey said as he jumped around. "Even if you ditched your own body for one of ours, thereby admitting our inventions are better than yours." Donnie was beginning to wonder, as he made his way to the cannon, how much of this was on the fly.
"This automatron is of no value in the hands of the enemies of Kraang. Only Kraang can use such a device to it's full capacity."
"So it has more capacity than your own?"
"Kraang feels as if Kraang is arguing a losing battle." Another Kraang bot called out.
"Get used to the feeling, because you're going to keep on losing!" Donnie got in front of the laser cannon as it aimed at him, and threw his bo staff at the control panel, smashing it to pieces as it began to smoke and spark out of control.
"Everyone, cover!" Leo shouted, moving to the place April was hiding as the laser began to spin around wildly.
"Kraang will make the enemies pay for their insolent actions, Kraang swears on it." Metal head groaned, trying to use the rocket fists, only for them to be knocked out of the way by a slap from Spider-Man.
"Oh come on, we expanded your banter to this level, but you keep giving out the cliche lines everyone already spouts." Spidey sighed dramatically as they webbed up Metal head, throwing him to the cannon. "Maybe someday, we'll get something decent out of you."
"And maybe on the day those refer to as 'someday', you'll eventually evolve into something less tiresome, but Kraang does not put stock in what people call 'miricl-" MetalHead was stopped as it collided with the cannon, sending it's head, along with the Kraang and the rest of its body, everywhere in smitterhreens.
"Shell Yeah!" Donnie cheered as he and Spidey high-fived. "We did it guys!" He turned to his brothers … looking at him with rage. "Guys?"
"Donnie, first you make an infinitely improving I-Pod, then you create a robot that almost turns us into soup." Leo pointed a thick green finger at him. "You're getting too close to creating the robot apocalypse!"
"Fine fine, no more robots." He paused. "Although a solar powered bo staff …" He was sent a fist to the back of the head by Raph. "Hey!"
"Stick with the stick, it'll be safer for the rest of us, and the entire city." Raph grumbled.
"Don't feel too bad Donnie, failure is a large part of innovation after all." Spidey patted him on the back. "Though let's try to avoid blowing up our friends next time." Fair point…though maybe he can work a laser guided missile into it…something to expand another time.
"Is it safe to come out now?" April asked, looking around. "Sheesh, I knew the Kraang wanted me for my dad, but they seemed pretty … obsessive then."
"Whatever they're planning, they seem to think you're important enough to affect it." Donnetello observed. "Maybe it's not a good idea to keep going out in public if they're this determined…"
"Hey, I'm not going to let a bunch of aliens uproot my entire life again. I'm not afraid." April responded with that beautiful determination.
"Well we should head back to the lair either, regroup in a less open space." Leo noted.
"Alright, who wants to help me bring back Metalhead?" Everyone was silent at Donnie's question. "Seriously? Even Mikey?" Just because it failed doesn't mean he couldn't try again, this time with a less exposed control module.
"I am not getting attacked by another robot tonight."
"I could lift him, but-" At Spidey's sentence, his phone began ringing.
"Itsy bitsy spider?" April asked with confusion. "That is both ironic as hell … and giving me the weirdest sense of deja vu."
"Oh really that's super weird either way gotta go take this been a long night see yah on the flip side!" Spidey responded without so much as taking a breath before web-slinging out of there.
"I swear he just keeps getting weirder every time that happens." Raph rolled his eyes. Donnie slightly agreed, but he was also the only one in the group that actually spoke English when science came up, so the brainy turtle could let that slide.
