Chapter Fifty-One
Meeting Again
Up in the Ninjet, Jack sat at the controls as he guided the jet to find somewhere to land where they would not be seen.
In the back, everyone was grasping at straws, wondering when Tyroth would give them the signal to join him and Devina.
Raphael, Monalisa, Jake and Kemeko were the most restless of all.
Kemeko looked up at Leonardo, her Grey eyes wide and scared.
"I just want to go out there and help dad!" she wailed.
"I know sweetheart!" Leonardo soothed "I know!"
Monalisa jiggled her legs as she grasped Raphael's hands and her mate did his best to comfort her despite the fact he was just as anxious as her.
Jake meanwhile rocked in his seat and muttered to himself whilst Amber rubbed his back and held his hands.
The other Turtles and the Knights along with James and Dahlia tried to remain calm, yet it was difficult, even though it was only ten minutes since Tyroth and the Geckolings went to help Devina it felt like hours.
Jun leaned against the window, feeling like a greyhound straining at the leash as he waited for Tyroth's signal yet as he did, he saw a couple of figures flying through the air.
At first he thought it was a bird until he looked again and his eyes widened as he saw the figure had large white wings and golden curled hair.
"Hey guys!" he shouted getting the attention of the other Knights, the Hamato Clan and James and Dahlia.
"What is it Stripes?" Sharky asked.
"Look!" Jun said pointing out the window and the Shark looked over to see what looked like a white bat flying through the air above the treetops, but what really shocked him was seeing who was in her arms.
"Oh my God!" he cried "It's the bat! Regan! And she's got Pandora!"
Everyone instantly looked over then saw Regan with Pandora in her arms flying over the tree tops and the Geckolings flying after her.
"My Baby!" Monalisa exclaimed as she watched.
Raphael opened his mouth but no sound came out as he looked where Jun was looking then he saw who was approaching behind the Geckolings and he jabbed his finger pointing them out.
Jun too saw and his eyes narrowed.
"They're being chased!" he said "The Dove and that Locust are following!"
"We gotta help!" Michelangelo shouted.
"How? We can't fly!" Sharky yelled.
"I can!" Heather said standing up and unbuckling her seat-belt before heading to the open side doors.
"But Heather.." Sarah grabbed her arm to stop her but the Dragonfly pulled her arm free "I can handle it!" she said "If I can get to Regan I can try and make a grab for Pandora!"
Monalisa was worried but she nodded at Heather.
"Please! Bring her back!" she pleaded.
"What about the rest of us?" Leonardo asked "Tyroth still hasn't come back to us about helping him out?"
Jack narrowed his eyes.
Like they others he was restless and wanted to get in there to help.
"I'll land the Ninjet and we'll sniff them out!" he said as he fiddled with the controls "The Bat, Dove and Locust haven't spotted us due to the heavy camoflage, if I can land her safely we'll get out and search!"
"You do that Jack!" Sephie said then turned to Heather "Fairy Girl, try and help Freya and Loki and get Pandora!"
"On it!" Heather said and opening up her wings she leapt out of the open doors and out towards where Regan was flying.
"Be careful!" Leonardo called out to her.
"Please, bring my baby home!" Monalisa called after the Dragonfly.
Jack then started to move the jet lower to the ground whilst everyone gathered their weapons ready to fight.
Jake cocked his gun and Monalisa held up her fans and they looked at each other each confirming silently that Diablo would pay for what he did to Pandora and to them.
Meanwhile in the woods Tyroth still stood yelling at Diablo trying to force him to tell the truth about Pandora.
"Tell them the truth!" Tyroth shouted as he pointed at Diablo "Tell them everything!"
"Diablo! Please!" Lilith begged "What is he talking about?"
Diablo just glared and sneered.
"Lilith found her on the lake!" he said "She brought her back and we helped her! She didn't know who she was, thus we took her in!" Diablo said "I had no intention of hurting her!"
Tyroth glowered.
"Did you stop to think that it might have been Pandora?" he asked "She looks so much like your sister! The sister you betrayed! Whose heart you broke? It wasn't bad enough that you abandoned Mutopia and hurt many as you tried to escape?"
Lilith and Seth stood there in silence, still listening to Tyroth but they soon heard voices and Tyroth and Devina looked up to see Lamia, Rex and Samson running over behind him.
"Boss!" Samson shouted "Seth? Lilith!"
In fact as Devina was distracted, Lilith took the chance to escape Devina's clutches and she rammed her elbows into the Vampiress's chest making Devina gasp in shock then she used her wings to push her away from her before running forward towards Seth.
As she did that, Seth opened his arms to her and Lilith ran straight into them and he held her close.
"Lil!" he cried "You okay?"
Lilith sobbed slightly as Seth hugged her and rubbed her back to calm her down then he glared at Diablo.
"You better tell us what the hell's going on!" he demanded.
Samson, Rex and Lamia also stopped as they saw Tyroth who had quickly checked on Diablo's well being before looking back at Diablo.
"What is going on?" Samson asked.
Tyroth glared at Diablo then looked at the Panther.
"I have a heavy guess that he's been keeping secrets from you!" he said pointing at Diablo.
Samson frowned as he looked at the Dragon.
"You're after the lizard girl?" he asked.
"Aurora." Lamia muttered.
"She's not Aurora!" Devina said but Tyroth held up his paw to stop her.
As much as he was furious and wanted nothing better than to demand Pandora back, seeing the other Disciples he wanted to try and reason with them.
"That lizard girl you have in your possession, she's my niece, honored niece! She's Monalisa's daughter! His niece!" he pointed at Diablo "According to what we've learnt, the Falcon found her and brought her to you, amnesic and hurt and you took her in, which in a way I can be grateful that you found her alive."
Diablo cocked his head at the dragon.
"But what I want to know is why you kept her, and why Diablo didn't tell you that she was Pandora!" Tyroth went on.
Samson, Rex and Lamia looked at Diablo.
"Diablo?" Samson asked "Is it true? Is Aurora, Pandora?"
Diablo frowned hard but didn't say anything.
"It's true isn't it?" Lilith asked.
Diablo snapped his head towards Lilith.
"I didn't know if she was or not!" he said "What was I meant to do? Let her go in her state?"
"You could have brought her back!" Devina argued "And We wouldn't have harmed you!"
Tyroth looked to Devina to tell her to be quiet but then a loud noise made them all jump as they identified it to be the sound of a gunshot!
"DIABLO!" a furious female voice was heard afterwards and Tyroth realized who it was.
"Damn!" he cursed.
Diablo at the same time recognized the voice then another bang was heard and Diablo cawed in pain as he felt a a searing on pain in his shoulder.
The other Disciples were alarmed as well as shocked then they saw Monalisa and Jake leading the way followed by Amber, Jack, Sephie, Jun, Sarah, Leonardo, Sonia, Kemeko, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello.
"The cavalry's arrived!" Rex said as he got ready to fight yet he realized along with Lamia and Samson that they were outnumbered.
"Diablo!" Monalisa screamed as she pushed past Rex, Samson and Lamia and pointed one of her closed fans at him and Jake had his gun showing that he had fired the shots.
"Where's Pandora?" Monalisa demanded "Where is she?!"
Diablo gritted his beak as he held his wound where blood was pumping at a steady rhythm.
He looked at his Disciples and he realized that this was going to be a battle they wouldn't win, and given how it seemed that he was about to face the wrath of his sister, brother and the Mutopians, he didn't want his Disciples to take the rap either.
Catching Seth's eye he mouthed 'RUN'.
Tyroth as much as he was furious that the others had arrived before he could inform them, he had to calm everyone down.
"Everyone! Everyone!" he shouted "Stop it!"
Diablo mouthed at Seth again then looked at Samson who caught his eye.
"Run! Get out of here!"
Samson was shocked as was Seth then what shocked them more was when Diablo held up his arms.
"I surrender!" he said "You can have me but leave the others!"
Lilith's eyes widened.
"What's he doing?" she asked.
"He's giving himself up!" Seth cried.
Diablo shook his head.
"I surrender!" he shouted then looked to the Disciples "Go! Get out of here!"
As the Raven gave himself up, Tyroth, the Hamato Clan and the Disciples were shocked at what they saw yet they didn't have a chance to think before a loud scream was heard a few meters away.
Monalisa and Raphael went pale as they recognized it…..
A little earlier….
Meanwhile, Freya and Loki kept chasing Regan as she flew on with Aurora.
Aurora held onto Regan as she flew.
"Where do we go?" Aurora asked.
"We'll find Diablo and the others!" Regan said as she looked around for them.
They had already flown back to the house but they hadn't seen the Disciples and they wondered if like the Geckolings there were others and they had been confronted.
Regan was still unable to shake off the geckolings and she was relieved when she saw Ravage and Chastity flying over.
She looked behind her to see Freya and Loki still chasing her.
"Stop flying away!" Freya shouted "You can't keep doing that forever!"
Regan glowered and kept on flying.
"Just stop it!" Loki yelled then he saw Ravage flying over, his wings buzzing noisily almost like that of a motorbike.
"Sis!" he shouted "It's Ravage!"
Freya's eyes widened as the Locust flew over them and they flew to the side to avoid him.
Regan smirked.
"Thanks!" she shouted over.
Ravage winked at Regan and hovered above the Geckolings as they gathered themselves.
Freya glowered up at him.
"You can't stop us!" she shouted "That's our cousin and we want her back!"
Ravage glared back yet he didn't say anything as he looked down at them.
"You want Aurora?" he asked.
"That's our cousin!" Loki yelled "And her name isn't Aurora! It's Pandora! She's one of us!"
"Why did you steal her?" Freya demanded.
As the Geckolings yelled at Ravage, Regan stopped flying away as she heard them.
"She's our Cousin!" Freya shouted again "Please! We just want her back."
Regan frowned as she listened then looked at Aurora in her arms.
"They aren't fucking with us?" she asked.
Aurora looked up at the Vampire Bat.
"I don't know!" she said "I don't know them! I don't remember!"
"Pandora!" another voice was heard and Regan looked over to see Heather flying over to her.
"Oh shit…" she muttered "More of them!"
Heather flew over to Regan.
"Hand her over Bat!" she spat.
Aurora looked over at Heather and the Dragonfly saw her expression was lost and she didn't recognize her.
"Pandora?" Heather asked.
"Why are you calling me that?" Pandora asked and Heather's eyes widened.
"What?" she asked then looked at Regan and she glared.
"What did you do?" she demanded in a low furious voice.
"Nothing!" Regan snarled "We just found her like that!"
"And Diablo didn't tell you that she's actually one of us?" Heather demanded.
Regan cocked her head.
"He wouldn't lie to us!" Regan said.
"Oh would he not?" Heather asked skeptically as she glared at Regan.
At the same time Freya and Loki were still confronting Ravage as he hovered between them and Regan and Aurora.
"Please! We just want her back!" Freya went on "Please!" She's very much loved with us and her family miss her!"
Ravage cocked his head as he listened and he looked over at Regan and Aurora then back at the Geckolings.
"She really is one of you?" he asked.
The Geckolings nodded.
"Please!" Loki said "We just want her back!"
Ravage thought for a moment but then he heard Heather's voice and turned around to see her flying over to Regan.
The Geckolings too saw Heather and they felt relieved.
"Fairy Girl!" Freya exclaimed happily.
Ravage flew over towards Regan as the Vampire Bat and Dragonfly are arguing and Aurora was still denying that she was Pandora.
"I don't know you!" Aurora shouted yet as she argued Heather held her hands out to her.
"Please Pandora! You are one of us! Your parents are worried about you!" Heather cried yet Pandora jerked away from her and Regan flapped her wings to get higher, yet as she did, she could feel that she was loosing grip on the hybrid and before she could do anything to adjust her grip, Aurora slipped from her grasp!
"No!" Regan and Heather shouted at the same time and Ravage and the Geckolings cried out in horror as Aurora started to fall towards the trees!
Regan instantly reached down to try and grab Aurora's hand!
At first she managed to grab the Hybrid's hand but only by her fingers!
Heather also flew down to help but it was too late as Aurora's hand slipped from Regan's grip and she began to fall down into the woods screaming in fear!
"PANDORA!" The geckolings screamed and they along with Ravage, Regan and Heather could only watch in horror as the hybrid fell into the canopy of trees and she landed on the nearest one hitting many branches on the way down until she landed in a heap in a cluster of foliage on the ground!
