Chapter #44
*Monday June 8th, 2015. Around 12:35p.m. In the police truck*
The turtles were trying to calm their minds as they sat in the police van that was rushing towards the Chrysler building.
Leo and Donnie were both staring at screens inside the van that displayed news reports of the events that were occurring in the sky up above.
Raph was pacing back and forth as he usually did, the best thing that could be done to calm him down.
Mikey was just looking out the windows at all the people in the crowds that were standing along the street, wondering how they would all react if something happened where the van stopped and they had to exit right then and there.
Each of their focus on whatever it was they were doing was broken as Chief Vincent stepped over towards them and informed them that she had tactile gear, weapons, and communications standing by in case the boys needed anything.
The youngest three were rendered speechless. They had just been granted permission by the strict chief to work with the police in order to stop the foreign aliens invading their planet, so they were shocked that she had now switched over to such a cooperative state.
"All we need is cover to get up there. When we do, we've gotta find that beacon that's drawing all those pieces together" Leo stated as he pointed back towards the small television screen that displayed all the flying pieces that were connecting to the Technodrome.
Donnie stepped forward and continued to explain.
"If we can send that beacon back to where it came from and April, Casey, Jay, and Vern can close that portal on our command-"
"Goodbye Technodrome" Mikey stated with a relaxed smile.
"Goodbye Krang" Raph added with a confident smirk.
He then looked towards each of his brothers before asking "team effort?"
Then each brother looked towards their remaining brothers.
"Team effort" they all said as they nodded to each other, signaling that they were all on the same page and that they would all have each other's backs.
It was 12:35 p.m. when the police van pulled up in front of the Chrysler building. The turtles were instructed by the chief to wait for her to wave them outside, that way they didn't leave the vehicle too soon and then accidentally expose themselves. The chief and Jade exited the vehicle and seconds later she sent the boys her signal. As they made their way out of the van they heard Jade announce to the officers to stand tightly together as they formed their barricade. Meanwhile, Chief Vincent whispered to each of them to exit and make their way into the building while keeping the upper halves of their bodies ducked down.
Each of the brothers crouched down and stood between the lines of soldiers that stood around them with their shields held up high, blocking all outside viewers line of sight. They slowly but steadily crept across the street and then finally made it to the black marble doors of the building.
As soon as they had safely entered the building the boys began running down the hall of the triangular lobby looking for the nearest elevator that would lead them to the 61st floor which was high enough for where they needed to be to board Krangs ship.
While each of them was focused on their mission, they couldn't help but take in all of their surroundings within the short distance they would end up running. They had entered a few different buildings at night in secret with Sam, but they had never been in such a beautiful setting before, and especially not during the daytime. The walls were a golden color, and the glare from the sunlight outside truly made every spot of the walls shine so brightly.
There were different textures along the walls due to the various steels, granites, and marbles from around the world that were used to make them.
There were dazzling chandeliers that hung from the ceiling and lit up every corner of the room, adding to the beams of sunlight shinning in from the three entry ways.
And up above them was a beautiful mural that coated the entire ceiling above them.
The entrance they had entered was straight across from the elevator, so the four only had mere seconds to observe what was around them before they had entered the elevator.
Leo was standing in the front left spot with Mikey right behind him. Next to Leo was Donnie, who had Raph standing right behind him.
"Whoaaaaaa, what is this place used for?" Mikey asked as they entered the moving room.
Donnie, being the know it all nerd that he was, was thrilled to answer this question.
"This building is the home to offices used for over 80 different businesses from financial firms to dental offices" he said with way more enthusiasm then he meant to.
Leo laughed. "You're excited to be in this building, aren't you Donnie?"
"Ohhhh you have no idea" Donnie said with a huge smile. "This is my first time being in this building and yet I could give an entire tour talking about the past and present of it. I could tell you guys the entire story about this place!"
"Thanks but no thanks" Raph groaned. He was about to fight who knows what type of alien, so he didn't need one of his brother's boring info-lectures to make him fall asleep right before the big fight.
"Well I'LL listen to you bro!" Mikey said, pointing to himself to emphasize that he would be the nice brother and listen to his nerdy brother ramble on and on.
Donnie chuckled. "Thanks Mikey, but I'd need Sam with me to help keep you focused."
The group then paused. An awkward silence fell over the elevator car as the group realized that they would have to worry about Sam after the fight.
"What do you think the chief is gonna do to her?" Raph asked softly.
"We can't turn her in" Mikey said as he rapidly shook his head, "she finally just got her future back once the Foot fell."
"We know Mikey, don't worry. We would never turn her over so easily" Leo said solemnly. He then sighed. "We'll discuss all that with her afterwards."
"We'll find a way to keep her safe" Donnie said, turning around and nodding towards all of his brothers. "We'll figure out something. Who knows, maybe once the chief sees that we can protect everyone then maybe she'll hear us out about what happened with Sam that night and maybe she'll ease up."
"Doubt it, she seems stricter than Leo and Sensei combined" Raph grumbled, crossing his arms. The chief had been kind to them, but he didn't trust that she was on ALL five of their sides just yet.
"Raph, you have to stay positive" Leo said as he turned back to face his brother. He gently nudge his arm to get Raph to look up and face him as he spoke. "She eventually gave us a chance even though we look like this" he said as he waved his hand down his body. "If she could eventually trust 'the monsters' then I'm sure she'll come around and trust a fellow human."
Raph huffed. "I hope your right, or else we're gonna have the cops hating us again."
"Raph" Donnie began.
"He's right" Mikey cut in. "If she doesn't come around then its game over. Sam's safety comes first, even if that means her hiding underground with us."
"And take away the future she deserves?" Leo asked with wide eyes.
"Unfortunately if the chief wants nothing but to lock Sam up, then her future is gone regardless Leo" Donnie stated in a hushed voice.
Leo closed his eyes so they were shut tight. "In that case then we'll have to fight against Sam."
Raph snapped his head to look back towards his brothers, his brow furrowed from confusion and anger. "Wait, what?!"
"He's right" Mikey mumbled. "If Sam knew that not turning herself in would cause harm to our relationship with the cops then she would do it in a heartbeat. She'd do anything to keep us safe, ANYTHING."
"She didn't even care when we closed in on her after the chief told us to hand her over" Donnie said softly, clutching onto the straps of his backpack, "she just played it off like it was no big deal."
"She was probably ready to turn herself in then and there. If we weren't nearby then she would have done it" Leo stated, clenching his fists. He hated to think that Sam would give herself up so easily, but he strongly agreed with Mikey that Sam would do anything if it meant keeping the four of them safe.
Raph shook his head. "We're her biggest weakness, or at least one of them" he mumbled.
Donnie's head then shot up. "Jay has connections though, with all types of people. If the chief won't listen to us then she has to listen to hundreds of peoples outcries."
Leo looked over and noticed they were close to their destination of the 61st floor and decided that they needed to drop this depressing conversation in order to maintain their confident and collected morale.
"We'll discuss this later when we meet back up with Sam, and when Krangs down. Right now we need to keep our heads in the game."
Raph began swinging his arms back and forth, needing to move in some way to keep himself calm and focused.
Mikey began bobbing back and forth on his feet, reminding himself to act as swift as a shadow in the night, or in this case to act as a ghost that couldn't be seen from moving so fast during the day.
Donnie took a few deep breaths and began shaking his wrists.
Leo rolled his shoulders some, trying to remain calm and focus on the task at hand.
Finally, the doors opened.
Donnie was the first one to quickly and swiftly exit the elevator. He was followed by Leo, then Raph, and then Mikey.
They each stepped off the elevator and now walked along the outside walkway along that floor.
Donnie hopped up onto one of the Eagles protruding from the corner of the building. He placed his goggles over his eyes in order to scan the progress of the machine that was being built.
"This thing is about 57% complete. If we don't stop it now then it's going to be ready to go in less than 15 minutes."
Mikey had been taking in the gorgeous view since he had never seen such a high-up view during the day, but hearing how soon this machine would be built drew back his focus.
"Guys, what are we waiting for?" he asked.
"Um, Sam?" Raph stated.
Mikey's eyes went wide. He felt like such an idiot! How could he not have realized that they couldn't proceed without their sister?!
"She'll have to head over there by herself, we need to move now!" Donnie announced.
Raph and Mikey froze, not liking the sound of her traveling all the way over towards the Technodrome by herself.
"Guys" Leo stated calmly, "we know Sam has limits when using her powers, but she hasn't used them much yet, so if she needs to rely on them then she'll be fine. You guys know how tough she is" he said with confidence.
The looked at each other and smiled, agreeing with their older brothers words.
Leo then looked towards Raph.
"You got this?" he asked, remembering his brother's fear of heights.
Raph stood up onto the ledge of the walkway and looked down at the sights below him. Although he was up very uncomfortably high up, there was plenty for him to land on with all those giant pieces flying by.
"Yeah, I got this" he said with a smirk as he then locked his eyes onto a larger flying piece and then leaped off the ledge screaming "Surf's up New York!"
Soon after, each of his brothers did the same thing as they then landed on their own huge floating machine piece.
Each of the boys soaked in this rare moment and took in the sights. It was an odd time to feel this way, but man the view from here was incredible!
Donnie was the first one to reach the outer layers of the Technodrome.
He quickly activated one of the scanners located along his shoulder and began locating whatever would be considered the 'off switch' to the giant machine in front of him.
Leo and Raph arrived soon after.
Seconds later Mikey joined up behind them just in time to hear Donnie state that according to his ultrasonic scanners the beacon was located somewhere near the command module that was a few hundred feet ahead.
"Okay, we gotta stop this thing from completing" Leo stated.
"And how are we supposed to do that?" Raph asked.
"Let's start with whatever that thing is" Leo said as he pointed forward.
Donnie quickly put his goggles on in order to scan what looked like a giant robot rising up from the inside of the machine. His scanners picked up some type of life force within the robot.
He placed his goggles back on top his head.
"That must be Krang" he stated.
"Alright guys, fall in!" Leo announced as he went to take the lead, but paused when he noticed his youngest brother not paying attention.
"Mikey, you ready?"
"I still don't see her" Mikey stated, his body still turned around. The entire way over he kept turning back to see if Sam had made it to the walkway from the building, yet she was still nowhere to be seen. He just knew that something was wrong, yet he kept standing there, hoping and waiting that she would just appear and prove that his worries were wrong.
Leo wanted to wait for Sam just as badly as Mikey did, but sadly they were running out of time to just wait.
"She can't be much further behind us Mikey, she'll be here soon. Let's get whatever that thing is in there warmed up so that she has less work to do" he said, gently nudging his brother's shoulder as a means to make him relax.
Mikey took a breath and nodded his head, and with that, all four brothers then leaped down and rolled onto the main frame of the machine. They were cautious as they ran down the strip leading into the center of the upper outside layer of the Technodrome, staying aware of any traps that were sprung on them. However, each of them ran down the strip with ease, and then when they expected to be attacked as they leaped up onto the main platform where the robot was located, there was still nothing. Each of them stood frozen still, waiting for something to attack…yet still nothing.
Each of them relaxed some as they removed themselves from their fighting stances and walked further ahead towards the robot.
"It's not that bad, it's just a dumb robot" Raph stated.
"Yeah, I was expecting way worse" Mikey said as he stood a little too close to the metal being.
"And what would that look like?" Raph questioned.
"I dunno" Mikey replied as he knocked on a glass section near the stomach of the robot. He looked inside the open space, but saw only a gap with nothing in it. "I was expecting like a mustache maybe. An evil goatee or something, you know what I'm saying?"
As those final words left his mouth, a disgusting slimy figure slammed itself against the glass on the inside of what had been an open space. Big purple eyes were glaring at a now screaming Michelangelo.
Mikey jumped back and scooted as far away from the robot as he could as a brain looking figure emerged from the inside, flapping his two tentacle like arms in front of him.
"Ahhhhh! It's like a chewed up piece of gum, with a face!"
Leo and Raph already had they weapons in hand the second they heard their brother even begin to scream.
The brain, assumed to be Krang, stepped forward in his robot body.
"I'll only tell you once, GET OFF MY SHIP!"
"Donnie," Leo said as he quickly spoke to his brother, "get to the console, let's send this jacked up disco ball back where it came from."
Donnie nodded and the four were about to leap into action, but then Krang decided that he still had something to say.
"Not leaving eh? Guess that means I do get to play with the rest of you."
Although hearing 'the rest of you' sent a huge shiver down each of the turtle's spines, they each remained in displaying their 'ready to fight' stance. They didn't want to show any weakness in case this was a trap.
"Oh I'm sorry" Krang continued, "was I not clear? I guess I need to show you what I've done with her so that you can see what's going to happen to all of you."
Krang pressed a button on the belt of the robot and a figure began to teleport in front of him.
The boys tried their best to remain calm, but their hearts sank at what they saw in front of them.
The figure that appeared in front of them was none other than Sam, but it was obvious that she was no longer herself. Her eyes were in their mutated blue and black colors, but there was now a red dot in the center of her blue pupil, and there was an additional red line that separated the blue color from the black. Sam was glaring at the turtles in front of her as if they had been enemies all along.
"What did you do?" Mikey asked sternly.
He made sure to remain in his serious and un-phased stance, but he needed to know what was happening before he just jumped into a fight with his best friend, his sister.
"It's marvelous actually. For years I sent all types of mutagen that my armies back home had concocted to Shredder, knowing that in his quest for power he would test them out on human lifeforms. This made my life easier as I just sat back and watched what combinations of mutagen had what types of effects on the human race. I waited to find people who would match with some of the more complicated doses of mutagen that could only match with select beings, and your friend happened to be the perfect match to one of those specific types of mutagen. This mutagen allows me to control someone through mental abilities, meaning I can control them through their brain. The fact that it connected with and emphasized the powers of wind and strength through other mutagens she had injected into her body is just a bonus for me when I get to control her mind."
The turtles couldn't believe this. Every time they felt that they had a better understanding of what Sam's powers meant and what the mutagen running through her veins could do, they were then thrown a new and even more insane curve ball. They had literally just learned that the mutagen affected her temporal lobe and her emotions, and now, and in the worst way possible, they were informed that this mutagen could also be used by the controller to mess with her brain even more.
"Hehehe, let's see what fun we can have" Krang said with a wicked smile.
Sam began storming towards the group, but Michelangelo wasn't going to let this bullshit fly so easily. He quickly reached into his pocket and grabbed a box that was smaller than his hand with a lid that he flipped open. There were two buttons on either side of the box. One was connected to a tiny microphone located inside the box, the other, to a small round metal piece on the inside strap of Sam's backpack which she thankfully was still wearing.
Mikey pressed both buttons, activating the microphone and the round piece on the strap of the bag.
"Execute order 66!" he shouted.
Sam was stopped as the controller heard this and sensed the metal piece pop off from the bag's strap and then connect with the girl's chest. She was commanded to freeze because the controller was confused as to what just happened.
"Did you just order her to kill all the Jedi?!" Donnie shouted.
"Wait, what?!" Raph bellowed.
"Mikey!" Leo shouted.
"She said it wouldn't kill her, it would just stun her!" Mikey shouted.
"WHAT?!" the brother's shouted, but just then Sam started screaming in pain
Sam had always discussed secret techniques with each of the brothers so that they could help keep her safe if she could not do so herself, and vice versa. In this case, Sam had developed a small controller (the box) that had a chip with a recording of Mikey saying the phrase he just had. This, along with pressing the second button, would activate a small round piece on the inner strap of Sam's backpack to launch off the bag and press onto her. The material of her bag would prevent any of her electronics from being ruined, but the piece would send an electric shock throughout her body. She made sure (through lots of gruesome testing) that the shock would not be strong enough to kill her, but it would be strong enough to stun her body.
Sam screamed out in pain, her hands grabbing onto the side of her head as she writhed back and forth. Unfortunately, even though it wouldn't kill her, it was still obviously extremely uncomfortable.
Sam then stopped and stood frozen still. She opened her eyes and then quickly looked up. Her eyes were now their normal brown color as she was staring wide eyed at the four brothers. She now realized that they had finally arrived and what Krang was using her for, a weapon to fight against her family. She rapidly walked towards the brothers and began talking as fast as she could, knowing her time to help them was limited.
"There's two beacons one for ship blue for me from guy controlling down below but it's in mine and Krang's-" Sam shouted towards them at the speed of light as she tried to quickly walk towards them, but then was cut off as her body went limp and her vision once again went black. Her body dropped to the ground quickly, her knees hitting first and then
"Ahhhhh! What's happening down there?! Fix this!" Krang shouted as he stomped his foot on the ground.
"Alright Donnie, find both beacons. Mikey, keep Sam busy and deactivate her beacon once Donnie gives you a signal. Raph and I will distract Krang and then the three of us will deactivate that beacon."
They sensed movement and the brothers looked forward to see that Sam had lifted her head up and was now showing off her mutagenic eye color with the red dots and lines once again.
"Don't worry master, they will not pull something like that on her again" she said as she got back to her feet.
"Just like she said, someone's controlling her from down below" Donnie stated. "I need to figure out where those two beacons are."
"You can try, but the question is, will you focus more on saving your friend? Or will you focus on saving the world? The choice is yours. In the meantime…" Krang trailed off as Sam began to walk forward.
She reached into the slots of her bag and pulled out her tonfa, only she did something new with them. What none of the turtles realized was that if Sam held her thumbs down long enough on the very ends of both her tonfa that her fingerprints would be scanned and the tonfa would then disconnect, turning her tonfa into a set of nunchuks.
"Whoaaa."
"Oh come on!"
"What?!"
"No way!" were the sounds that came from the four brothers.
Sam displayed a wicked smile. "I see you've never fought her with these before, have you?"
"Mikey?" Leo asked, hoping that he could explain what was happening.
"She said her brother fought with sais, but his true calling was towards his nunchuks. She must have messed with them and turned them into her tonfa so that she would fight with her brother's weapons all along. But, how would Krang know that? How would he know something that we didn't?"
"It's his mutagen and his tech" Donnie cut in, "there's probably so much he can do with her now that she has the mutagen he created running through her veins. There's so much he can do that the human race will probably never understand."
"Well, then it's time we end this here before he has a chance to do anything else" Leo said. Usually he was able to maintain control, but man he wanted to fight Krang as badly as Raph wanted to fight everyone all the time.
"This ends now, so don't let him know how you feel, let's throw him off and end this for good" Leo stated. He then looked forward and aimed a cocky grin towards Krang.
"Hey bubbalicious! Let's see what you've got!"
Each of the turtles followed after one another to run up and attack Krang, but they weren't expecting the enemy to command Sam to stand in front of him and defend him. Sam quickly rushed to stand in front of her commander and threw her arms forward, using her wind powers to knock Leo and Mikey to her right, and then Donnie and Raph to her left.
The turtles were all blown away and rolled some before standing back up and assessing the situation.
'Man this is gonna be tougher than I thought' Raph thought to himself.
Raph then glanced over at Leo and instantly they had the same idea.
Leo ran towards Krangs right side while Raph ran towards his left.
Mikey remained in his spot and pressed a button on his nunchuks that extended the chain. He then whipped his weapon at an angle so that it would curve and wrap around Sam when she wasn't looking at him and instead was looking at the two brothers coming at Krang from opposite sides. This was much easier to pull off since she wasn't as alert as usual since she wasn't fighting as herself and was instead being controlled by someone else.
Sam was then swiftly pulled to the side away from the battle against Krang and was now facing off against Mikey alone.
Leo, who had been charging towards Krang, was grabbed by a huge arm where the metal hand had been morphed into a large claw. He was then launched up and over Krangs right shoulder.
Krang had launched his left clawed arm towards Raph as well, but the muscular turtle had ducked and dodged and evaded the attack. Raph then leapt forward and grabbed onto Krangs waist as he tried to climb upwards, doing the best he could to damage the huge robotic body that was attacking him.
While these two momentarily had Krang tied up, Donnie was quick on his feet and then slid through Krangs now parted legs and then flipped over the raised metal pieces surrounding the console. He quickly began fidgeting with buttons from his own shoulder cam scanners and from the electronics of the ships tech itself.
"Alright, about 8 minutes until this thing is complete. It's all you Donnie. No pressure, no pressure, no pressure" he said aloud to himself over and over again.
While Raph and Leo were fighting Krang and attempting to climb onto him in order to inflict damage towards his robotic suit, and while Donnie was trying to figure out where the two beacons were, Mikey was distracting Sam and attempting not to cause too much damage to her while simultaneously fighting her in order to keep her away from Krang and prevent her from hurting anyone else.
Mikey pulled Sam against him while she was still tied up in the chain.
He held her close and as tight as he could, hoping this was as far as the fight would need to go, but oh was he so terribly wrong.
Sam leaned forward and then slammed her head backwards as hard as she could right into Mikey's chin. The move left his chin feeling more sore than usual since Sam had her mutagenic powers on her side.
The second the chains came loose around her body she began to charge back at Mikey. She ran straight and then faked a dodge to the left only to then swing her right arm back and around so that as her body was moving forward, her arm was a step behind and was aiming right for Mikey's face.
Mikey, a truly skilled nunchuker, saw this coming from a mile away and used both hands to straighten his nunchuks in front of him, blocking the attack.
He knew he had to be careful in how he attacked because Sam's controller probably didn't care about what damages were caused to her body and would have her complete moves and absorb attacks that could truly put her life at risk.
Now that Sam's arm had been held still due to her attack being blocked, her body could no longer travel forward, so instead she planted her left foot and then tried to twist, kick, and swing her right foot forward into Mikey's stomach.
Again, the turtle was quicker and twisted his body so that her leg just missed kicking him directly in the center of his plastron while he also swung his right elbow up and connected it to her jaw.
This knocked Sam over onto her side as she stumbled downwards from the impact.
'Whoever is controlling her is definitely more focused on her powers than on actual fighting ability' Mikey thought to himself.
Within that split second of lack of concentration, Sam had rolled over after landing rather harshly onto the ground and swung her leg around so that it pulled her body right back up so that she could once again charge towards Michelangelo.
She began swinging the chucks from opposite sides and aimed for the more tender spots where the turtle's plastron no longer covered his upper body. She swung her left nunchuk inwards, then her right, and she continued to repeat this pattern, but Mikey held onto both nunchuks and straightened them out and continued to slide them right in front of where he knew Sam's weapons were about to land.
What he wasn't expecting was that as the pattern continued for her to then drop the weapon in her left hand and grab onto his two straightened nunchuks.
She forcefully pulled forward, the chains digging into her hands as she did so, and she twisted her body so that as Mikey was pulled forward she could flip him forward face first. As she pulled forward on his weapons with her left hand, she then also grabbed on with her right hand once she caught the turtle off guard. She had much more control of the movement once both of her hands were on his nunchuks and she swiftly flipped him forward so that he was now crashing down onto his shell.
Although it was even more painful to move right after receiving the blow, Mikey twisted his legs and leapt upward in time to dodge Sam spinning around and slamming her foot down onto the ground where Mikey's body had laid.
'Sam would have landed that shot if the mystery controller was focused on sight and speed and not just on the power of her strength' Mikey thought to himself. 'I have to make sure I keep using his lack of fighting skills to my advantage.'
While this battle had continued on, Donnie was still quickly working through the double shift of trying to locate the two beacons. He didn't care which came first, but he was struggling to find a lead towards either, and it was more difficult trying to focus on both at the same time rather than just focus on one and then the other.
Finally he found a lead as to where Sam's beacon was. He found a guide within the system that talked about all the features of Krangs latest robotic suit (and he thanked his lucky stars that this being a new suit was why this document appeared so suddenly since Krang must have been referring to this document not long ago in order to activate his new suit). He then started typing faster than ever before as he sent the document to the scanning program on his shoulder and it quickly described each part of the suit. He then noticed a label that said "mind control" and he hacked in immediately. That's how he learned the cruel truth of how to save Sam.
"I got Sam's beacon! It has nothing to do with who's controlling her down below! The energy source is coming from Krang's right shoulder in his suit! But we have to destroy that AND a chip in Sam's shoulder! Only destroying one without the other will make the chip in her shoulder self-destruct!" Donnie shouted out loud for everyone else to hear.
"HA!" Krang maniacally laughed, "so you found the first one. But are you going to risk hurting your friend just to save her?!" he roared with a vile laugh.
"Mikey get her to me!" Donnie shouted. As much as he hated it, he knew he could stab Sam in the shoulder just where he'd need to. He could locate the chip in seconds if he could get her to remain still, but based on what this program was informing him, the only way to do that was to get to Krangs shoulder piece first.
"Get to Krang, then bring her to me!" Donnie shouted.
"Ughhhh lousy turtle!" Krang screamed, frustrated with how quick the purple one was.
"Guys! I have an idea! Get close to Krang!" Mikey shouted as he began to run away from Sam and closer to where his oldest brothers were standing.
"Hey Sam! I haven't seen you use your wind powers! Man, you're the worst air bender yet!" Mikey shouted as he slid under Krang as he was whipping his body around, violently swinging his clawed arms in circles.
Leo had dodged so that he was behind Krangs right side. As the clawed arm began to slow down so that its owner could maintain a position where he could see what was happening around him, Leo grabbed onto the arm and held on as tight as he could, fighting his hardest to keep his feet planted so that as he held onto the robotic arm, its owner could not continue to move forward because of this.
Raph did the same thing as he dug one sai into Krangs claw and then the other into the ground of the ship, preventing Krang from moving forward.
These two had done this at the same time that Mikey had called out Sam for not yet using her wind powers.
Of course, hearing this angered whoever it was that was controlling Sam and instantly the controller fell into Michelangelo's trap.
Right after he slid under Krangs claws, Mikey then leapt forward and placed a strong hold onto the robots leg.
Sam was now standing behind Krang, and due to the hunger for power, the controller did not think through what he was doing as he instructed Sam to pull her arms backwards and lead her to use her wind powers to try and pull the turtles backwards and away from Krang and back towards her where she could continue to fight them.
However, this plan backfired since the turtles were all in positions where as long as they held onto the parts of Krangs robot that they were, they would not move.
What this actually did was prevent Krang from moving his robot body at all in any way whatsoever.
This then angered Krang who was frozen in place. This anger lead him to act without thinking as he retracted his robotic arms without realizing that he was not holding Leo and Raph, but that it was actually the other way around.
The force of the retraction made Leo lose his grip, but Raph, who had dug his sai into the robots hand, was pulled along with both his weapons towards Krang. Since Raph was not being held onto as he was pulled forward, he was still able to move his body freely, and as he was swiftly pulled toward his enemy he moved his arms just as swiftly and before Krang realized what was happening, two large sais were being dug into and dragged throughout Krangs right shoulder.
Immediately the red was removed from Sam's eyes which meant that she was no longer in Krangs control, but her body also began to collapse to the floor once more.
Leo, who was the closest to her at the time, dashed over and scooped her up before her head slammed against the ground. He then pivoted on his foot and dashed back towards Donnie as it was now Raph and Mikey's turn to fight and distract Krang.
Meanwhile, Donnie had been reading the documents about where the chip was located in Sam's shoulder and was disturbed to learn that this chip was rather large. He thought he would need more of a larger medical pin to stab the chip, but it seemed more so that he would need a thicker blade from a kunai knife to stab the chip all the way through.
As soon as Leo reached Donnie, the nerdy brother began shouting directions.
"Go into my bag and get bandages and medical tape. But be careful since I only have ten seconds to make the right cut" he urged.
Leo moved quickly but carefully as he went to remove the medical supplies from his brother's bag as he was also performing the procedure on Sam.
Donnie was grateful that his friend was a tomboy and was wearing a looser Adidas shirt where he could easily move the neck of the piece of clothing to reveal her bare shoulder.
He then steadied the kunai so that it would cut straight through where it needed to. Donnie gulped and then quickly stabbed the girls shoulder, refraining from moving his eyes away from the spot where he made his cut.
The two turtles heard a crunch after Donatello made the incision.
Leo winced assuming that this sound was a result of the knife digging into the girls bones. His worry soon went away as he looked at the screen in front of him and noticed that the cut was actually made in the gap between the girl's clavicle and her scapula, meaning that the only crunch sound being made was from the chip being broken.
Donnie also felt a wave of relief when he saw that the screen displayed that the chip was no longer activated, meaning that besides for the cut in her shoulder, Sam was now safe.
"Carefully remove the kunai and place the bandage right on top of the cut. Then wrap the medical tape around it in order to apply pressure. Leave her here with me once she all wrapped up" Donnie instructed, all the while typing away faster than ever before.
Locating the ships main beacon should have been relatively easier now that he could aim every ounce of his attention towards one beacon compared to two.
Leo did his best to follow Donnie's orders. Each of the brothers had experienced medical training from Donnie in case they had to complete actions such as this, but practice was way different than the real thing, and it was worse when it was someone you cared about.
But he had to keep his mind focused. He gulped each time he saw more blood begin to pour out of her shoulder, but then he pushed through and applied more force to the wound which helped slow down the bleeding each time.
He finally wrapped up her shoulder and then fixed her shirt. An idea quickly popped into his head and he frantically searched through the bag on Sam's back. He was relieved as he found a role of black pre wrap in the girl's bag. He knew it wasn't a strong material, but after wrapping it multiple times around her shoulder and then tying it up, he knew this would help continue to keep the bandages she wore in place.
Leo now ran back and joined in on the fight. Along with Raph and Mikey, Leo had jumped onto Krangs body. Each of the three clung onto the robotic pieces as it began to spin around and around in circles.
"Donnie!" Leo called out in exhaustion from the never ending spinning.
"Just give me ten seconds!" Donnie called back.
"Guys, I don't think I'm tall enough to ride this ride!" Mikey whined as he felt himself continuing to lose his grip.
All of a sudden, something shoved Krang forward and all three turtles were released from the spinning chaos.
Each brother was released in a different direction at alarming speeds.
Leo was then launched towards the very edge of the flying machine. He heard his brothers calling after him and then began to see a glimpse of the ground so very far away down below. Luckily, he was as quick as ever and grabbed onto a protruding piece of metal from the ship and with the momentum from which he had been launched he was able to swing his body back onto the ship.
He looked forward to see none other than Sam standing between Krang and Donnie's backs.
"Sam?!" Donnie called out as he continued to finish his hacking. He had been so focused on finding the beacon that he hadn't realized the movement behind him.
"Don't worry I got you" she said as she stood back to back with the purple bearing turtle. Her eyes were their mutagenic colors, but now they were in her control.
"But your shoulder-"
"I haven't seen it and I'm filled with adrenaline so drop it before it actually hurts!"
"But how did you recover so quickly?!"
"I'll explain later!"
Donnie nodded and continued to work.
Krang snarled as he was more pissed now than ever. Everything he had spent years setting up with Shredder, using him as a pawn to test his materials, was now falling apart because of these five mutants.
The group was shocked and frozen as huge metal posts appeared from the ground of the ship with new weapons on each post. Krang then activated these posts as visible blue waves traveled down the robots arms and connected to the waves coming off of the posts. Soon a giant metal ball attached to Krangs right arm, and a new clawed arm to his left.
"Guys, he is literally re-arming" Mikey stated.
Krang then turned around, ignoring the other turtles and was now more focused on stopping the brainiest of the bunch. He launched his clawed arm so that it would go over top the girl and would aim straight for the taller turtles head.
Leo however had made eye contact with Sam and the two were already on the same page.
While Leo dashed around the side of Krang and was circling inward, Sam used her wind power to push the robotic arm upwards, and as Leo was now making his way towards the center where Krang was standing, he jumped up and forward and brought his blade down and cut right through the robotic hand before it could come anywhere near his brothers face.
"Where's the beacon Donnie? We're running out of time!" Leo called out as he slid under the other arm that was launched toward him.
"Haha! You already have! Prepare to watch your city crumble!" Krang cackled.
Loud beeping sounds were heard even when standing further away from the console. Bright red and blue lights began to flash back where Donnie was standing.
Sam turned around to see what was happening and her eyes went wide.
"Whoaaaaaa" she said as she took a step forward to examine what she was seeing, and it sent a shiver down her spine.
"What's happening Donnie?!" Raph called out as he swung his sai and was able to momentarily bring Krang down onto his knees.
"I was right" Donnie said aloud as his eyes grew wider and wider, "It's a massive weapons system. He's bringing it online!"
"Come on buddy you got this" Sam said, trying to sound calm in hopes that it would help keep Donnie calm and collected.
She wasn't sure if that helped or if it were pure coincidence that seconds later Donnie threw his hands up in excitement and smiled.
"I found the beacon! It's just right…" he said as he began tilting backwards in order to match the location that the screen from his shoulder cam was leading him to with the actual location in person, "up…there…" he said as he pointed to a flashing red dot all the way at the top of the inner section of the machine.
"Mikey go!" Leo announced as he grabbed onto a claw that was launched towards him, creating an opening for his brother to move.
"Oh I'll get that beacon!" Mikey exclaimed as he hopped onto his skateboard and began rocketing around and over the cables of the arm.
"Arghhhh! PLAYTIME IS OVER!" Krang howled. Once again blue waves appeared, only this time they were right in the chest of the robot. Then, a canon like weapon came flying towards Krang and attached to the robots chest.
"Mikey, towards me!" Sam shouted as she leaped out of the console and into more open space.
Mikey wasn't sure what she was going to do, but he zoomed his board over towards her.
Krang began shooting huge blue laser beams towards Mikey in order to prevent him from reaching the beacon from up above.
As Mikey aimed his direction closer to where Sam was standing, Sam used her powers to forcefully push away every beam that was aimed at Mikey.
Because of this, Mikey was able to locate a beam that lead all the way to the top of the machine. He grinding along a pipe that lead him to this beam as he rode his skateboard all the way along the curved beam to the top of the machine.
"Woohoo! I'm vertical!" he shouted with his arms held over his head.
Sam kept looking back and forth between Mikey up above and the rest of the brothers down below. She then saw Krang launch another beam that sent the three brothers flying backwards.
Sam wanted to help them fight, but at this point all she could do was attack from afar. She was beginning to feel slight pains in her shoulder from where she had been deeply cut and she knew that she would only cause more harm than good if she let her emotions take over and force her to push her body to limits that it couldn't handle.
She wanted to prove that she had learned from her previous mistakes and held her hands on the sides of her head. She was fighting to remain in control of her body, but she felt these urges to just run forward and start swinging punches with all her might, but she knew this was a time where she needed to stand back and help from afar.
Luckily when she looked back up she saw Mikey grab onto the red beacon and begin to travel back down to the ground of the ship as he traveled down the curved beam.
As he rocketed around on the ground, Mikey tried to make his way towards Donnie, assuming he would know what to do with the beacon.
"Hey heads up Donni-ah!" Mikey called as he tried to get closer to his brother, only to get slammed to the ground from a launching claw that smacked right into him.
Although he came crashing to the floor, Mikey made sue to hold onto the beacon, but Krang also made sure to hold onto him as he dragged Mikey back towards him. He wrapped his arms around Michelangelo so that he was now squeezing and crushing him underneath his grasp.
Now Sam was really feeling the urge to just go Hulk and smash. She knew she shouldn't, she knew she couldn't, but she so badly just wanted to run in and attack Krang. Now that she knew what her emotions could lead her to do she tried to fight and stay calm, but her friend was being crushed and she was just standing there doing nothing! Her eyes grew wide and her teeth were clenched just as tightly as her knuckles were. She needed to act now and stop worrying about waiting! She was so focused on waiting for the right moment that she was driving herself insane! NO! Just acting randomly and lashing out is what lead to her almost death back in Brazil, and this was worse. What if her careless actions lead to Mikey's death?! What was she supposed to do?!
"SAM!" Leo shouted.
She looked up and Leo could immediately tell she was fighting her inner self and that she needed instruction.
"Do what you did earlier! Keep him still!"
'That's it!' Sam thought to herself. 'I can act, but the guys will fight. Team effort!'
Sam nodded her head and ran towards Krang while Leo and Raph climbed up two ladder shaped beams and onto a flying piece of the ship.
Sam noticed Donnie go behind them and do the same thing and she sensed that Krang was watching all of them as well.
Sam decided now was the time to try out a new move she had been practicing.
She clapped both her hands together and focused her wind powers towards the center. She then began trying to pull her arms apart, but with a huge gust focused right in the center.
Usually she used her powers to push things forward or to pull things back, but the purpose of this move was to move things in a centered position apart, and overall that was what she was doing now.
This was still a relatively new move, so it definitely wasn't perfected, but she was able to achieve her goal of paralyzing Krang. As she slowly struggled to pull her arms apart, Sam could see Krangs grip on Mikey begin to lightly loosen as his robotic elbows now stood out to the side. The robots feet were now also placed apart from each other, and now that Krang couldn't control the movements of his arms or legs as they were being pulled out to the sides, he was now paralyzed.
Krang glared down at the girl who was glaring right back at him.
"Nooooo! You can't do this to me! I OWN YOU!"
"Heh, you don't own shit" Mike scoffed as he then spit in Krangs face.
Because of this, Krang never saw Leo and Raph coming as they jumped onto his chest and back, digging their blades into the crevices of where the robots head were located.
The two turtles pulled back with all their might as they felt the head of the robot coming loose.
"NOBODY, MESSES" Raph shouted as the robots head popped off and the three turtles fell into the wind gusts of Sam's pull.
"WITH MIKEY!" Donnie declared as he landed on the top of the robot and slammed his bo staff down onto the top control module and electrocuted the entire robot.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Krang shouted as his metal suit came crashing down to the ground.
Sam officially relinquished herself from using her powers and took multiple deep breaths, calming herself after using such an exhausting technique.
All the turtles got to their feet.
"Guys, Krangs down but his ship is still building" Leo announced.
"The beacon" Sam announced as she was now on her knees and holding her sides, man that took way more out of her than she was expecting.
"Oh, Donnie!" Mikey shouted as he tossed him the beacon.
"Drone activated!" Donnie announced as he then launched the drone from his bag into the air. It latched onto the beacon and then began soaring towards an opening towards the top of the Technodrome.
"I got April!" Raph announced. He had begun dialing April's number as soon as he heard Sam mention the beacon.
Donnie took the phone and looked down as he saw April's face on the other end of the line.
"Now! Close the portal now!"
"Ohhhhhhhh!" Mikey said, holding his knuckle up to his chin.
Donatello looked up and all four brothers rushed to get as close as they could to watch, and finally, they saw the drone sneak out through the last open crack. All the pieces of the ship were now beginning to follow the beacon that was being carried by the drone back up towards the portal.
"Yes!" Donnie shouted.
"Yes?" Mikey questioned, not quite sure what just happened.
"Yes!" Donnie replied as he nodded towards his baby brother with a huge smile.
Even Leo and Raph were doing double takes once their nerdy brother confirmed that this was a time for celebration.
"YEAHHHHHH!" Raph shouted.
"Aw yeah!" Mikey added.
"Woohoo!" Leo chimed in as each turtle latched onto each other in brotherly hugs.
They each expected Sam to be a part of their family hugging, but were shocked to see that she was no longer behind them.
They turned around to see Sam quickly put a pill into her mouth as she stood over top of the still fallen Krang.
"No…no! Impossible! How would they have followed me here to give you that?!" he wailed.
Sam then crouched down and shoved her hand into Krangs head.
The turtles saw hers and Krangs eyes roll into the back of their heads for a solid ten seconds before Sam finally removed her hand and stumbled backwards.
"Sam what the hell?!" Raph yelled as she stumbled back into his grasp.
"Sam?" Mikey mumbled as he watched his friend continue to shake.
"Hold onto her Raph! This is our stop!" Leo called.
While Sam had been shaking, the group had ridden on one of the floating pieces until it came close enough for them to jump off and land on the top of a tall office building.
Raph carefully placed Sam on the ground once they had stuck their landing and all four brothers were now standing together and watching as a weak Krang flew by on his own floating piece, declaring that he would be back and a thousand times stronger at that.
The boys then watched as all the pieces returned through the portal back from where they once came.
They went to celebrate once more, but were blown back from a gust of air that was released as the portal officially closed.
As they all fell to their backs, they saw that Sam was now sitting up behind them and staring up at the sky.
"Dang Donnie, you're gonna need another drone now" she stated as she shook her head.
"SAM!" they all exclaimed as they scrambled to their feet.
Leo helped her stand up and was gentle in doing so, making sure not to harm her shoulder.
He gave her a serious look.
"You finally gain a chance to control your emotions and then you go bat-shit crazy at the end. What were you doing?" he asked strictly, although his voice was also laced with concern.
"I did what they told me to" she replied nonchalantly.
The boys all looked back and forth amongst each other.
"That, who told you Sam?" Donnie asked.
"The Neutrinos" Sam said with a beaming smile. "They didn't visit you guys?" she questioned.
"No, because they don't exist" Raph stated in a mocking tone.
"Say what?" Sam asked.
"Uh, no offense Sam, but no one was on that ship but us and Krang. We never saw anyone" Mikey added gently.
"Well yeah, because they shrunk themselves down so that Krang wouldn't find them. They're actually pretty cool people. Funky hair and clothes though."
"Wow, blood loss must make you delusional" Raph teased.
Sam displayed a hurt expression.
"But, I'm not making it up. They were there. They're the reason I was able to take that pill-"
"And what did that do again?" Leo cut in.
Sam went to talk, but she felt like now wasn't the best time to explain the horrible images that she saw as she read through the recent thoughts of Krangs mind.
"I promise I'll explain, but not now. We just won, you know? But I promise later I'll tell you everything I know."
The boys looked back and forth at each other and decided that she had made a fair argument. They had JUST won their battle against Krang, so they thought it wouldn't be fair to make Sam go into what seemed to be more troublesome details after just being given time to cool their heads.
"Fine, I guess that's fair" Raph said as he gently nudged her shoulder.
It wasn't a hard nudge at all, but it was the fact that it was her shoulder. The cut shoulder. The one that was throbbing and sore as hell right now.
Sam was a strong woman, but with this much pain, she literally couldn't control the tears forming in her eyes. It hurt like a bitch, but with her pain trainings she could handle it…but just to mess with Raph she was totally gonna milk this.
The boys all winced as Sam grunted in pain from the contact and she then immediately turned to face Raph with her now teary eyes.
"Why do you hate me?" she asked softly, and his reaction was all she could have hoped for.
"Uh, um, I mean, I don't, um, uhhhhh" Raph stuttered, regretting the simple nudge.
Mikey then flicked Sam's forehead.
"Heyyy" she said as she pouted towards her best friend, whom was now waving his finger at her.
"Tsk, tsk Samantha. Messing with Raphael like that on purpose" Mike playfully ridiculed.
"Wait, what?" Raph asked in a rough voice.
"ANYWAY" Leo stated, changing the subject before a brand new war broke out between the siblings, even though Raph and Sam were playfully aiming slowed punches that didn't even touch the other towards one another, "I knew all that would work out" he said with a playfully cocky grin.
"Okay hold up!" Mikey said, "so you really thought that us 5 teenagers could save the whole world?"
"Sure" Leo replied smoothly. "Guys, we've got something that no one else has."
The five of them then gathered together, going from Mikey on the right, to Raph, to Leo, to Sam, to Donnie on the left, and then placed their hands into a pile. And as they lifted them up into the air the main words they all heard were: "GARBAGE TRUCK!"
All eyes were now on Raph as the rest of the group had confused grins on their faces.
"Garbage truck?" Leo asked with a grin.
"Um, uh" Raph stuttered, instantly looking towards Mikey for help.
"Well we do have that!" Mikey and Sam said at the same time as they pointed towards Raph, trying to ease his embarrassment at saying the wrong word.
"But let's go with the other one though" Mikey added.
So once again the group put their hands together and this time they all announced:
"TURTLE POWER!"
1. GUYS I never realized until I watched this up close that none of the brothers knew they had officially won until Donnie started screaming! Like Mikey even questions "yes?" before he cheers and Leo does double takes, even the fearless leader didn't know they won until Donnie made it known. I was laughing so hard when I realized this!
2. OH MY GOD I SOMEHOW WROTE THIS IN TWO NIGHTS! Like I stayed up super late but like oh my gosh yes! I mean there's still a little bit to add because this wasn't directly where the movie ended, but the fact that my fic has reached this point is mind blowing! Like I'm almost at the end of arc 2!
Hehe, hope you all stick around to see what comes next!
3. If you're wondering why I ignored the other half of what was happening during this scene, I kind of left out what April, Casey, and Vern did during the movie only because we all can see what they did and the only change I made to that part was that Jay is now with them, which we'll hear about that a little bit next chapter. In the future, after the scenes of the film, I will definitely include what is happening behind the scenes of the fight, but I've ignored that more in this section of my story only because we already know what happens and obviously all the major changes to the fight occurred where the turtles were.
