Chapter 40: The invasion begins (Part 2)
In the gems lair, the girls were having issues trying to destroy the portal but also trying to not get shot at.
"Yes! It's almost done!"
"Hurry faster!!" Ray shouted, dodging the foot of a giant lava monster.
Aubrey was using a toaster to take down the force field but it was going a little slower than usual.
Leah was slicing gems, trying to hold them off while Aubrey did her work. Sera and Ray tried to help by using the giant lava monster to their advantage. Unfortunately, that isn't working out well for them.
"THIS STUPID PIECE OF SH** KEEPS PUTTING ITSELF BACK TOGETHER!" Ray shouted, she threw a leg at some gems.
"WE CLEARLY SEE THAT!"
"WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO, LELE?!"
Leah turned to the window and smirked,"I called for backup"
Remus kicked the window open and immediately fell onto the floor.
"Him?! Leah, he can't fight! Why did you call him and not our dads?!"
"I trust him, Remus!" She shouted.
"Oh great," Ray muttered to herself. "As long as we don't have to explain to his mom why we brought home his dead body, go crazy!"
"She has no faith in me, Leah, what do you want me to do?"
"Use the sword I have on my back!"
"Got it!" he said, grabbing the sword off her back
"Now, go protect Aubrey while she works!!" She yelled, trying to fend off gems.
"Alright" he said and started to fight off any gems that were getting closer to Aubrey.
Aubrey kept working and Remus saw a different side of them, from when they were at school. They were more confident in themselves and it nearly got his head chopped off.
"Guys! I think I got it!" Aubrey pressed a button on her phone, then a hula girl popped out the toaster and the force field went down. "Yes!"
Leah smiled, "Finally!" She pulled out the weapon and pointed it at the portal.
"Say goodnight, gems!" She fired it.... But the weapon broke into a million pieces.
"Oh come on!!"
"Princess, what did you do?!" Ray yelled.
"I don't know!!"
"Anyone got any more ideas?!"
Leah turned around and saw Ray, using a piece of metal to put a shield. Covering her, Sera, Aubrey, and Remus. Aubrey and Sera were terrified and hugging Remus for comfort. Then Leah saw something and got an idea.
"Aubrey, what would happen if I destroyed that power cell?" She asked, pointing to a power cell.
"The whole building will explode! With all of us still in it!!" Aubrey whimpered. This made Leah smirk and pull out her tanto blade and smirk.
"Go"
"What?" The four of them asked and looked at her.
"Go, get out, I'll be right behind you all"
Ray knew she was lying but she used her flames to blow a path for them.
"Come on! The princess will be fine!!"
Sera jumped out of the window with Aubrey following after her. Remus hesitated for a moment but quickly followed after them with Ray high on his ass.
Leah inhaled deeply and prayed, "Mom, please be there to hug me when I go" she thought as she ran to the power cell.
Leah used her tanto to break it in half, then everything started exploding in each part of the lair. She closed her eyes and she was thrown out of the lair and started falling towards the ground.
Remus grabbed her from behind, and held her tight as Leah opened her eyes.
"Huh?!" She opened her eyes and saw Remus, "Remus?! Go! Save yourself!"
"Try that again"
Leah looked at him and hugged him, as Remus used a cheap grappling hook to swing into a dumpster.
"You okay?"
"I mean besides the dirty diapers on my head and you on top of me, this is the highlight of my day" Leah spoke, exhausted.
"You say half of that like it's a bad thing" He chuckled as he started to help her out of the dumpster and pull some dirty diapers off her.
"Wait, I thought you said you could fly?"
"I said I have wings, I'm.. terrible at flying!"
"It's okay! Plus, get a new grappling hook! Not a cheap one off of eBay" She gestured to his now broken grappling hook.
"Alright, alright"
"We saved the city! We actually-!" The ground started rumbling and a loud humming noise appeared.
"What the?!"
They both looked up and saw a giant ship that was the shape of a hand, but it was green.
".. I think we spoke too soon on that"
Ray and Sera were running towards them, with a beat up Tony on Ray's back.
"What happened to him?"
Tony slowly opened his eyes," Some... lady... she took me and.... I don't remember the rest"
"Wait.. girls, where's Aubrey?" Leah asked them.
"We don't know... The wind took her grappling hook in a different direction than us!" Ray said.
"Oh no.."
"Maybe she's heading back to the lair!" Sera exclaimed.
"If she was heading back, don't you think she would've noticed the giant hand in the sky by now?"
"Aubrey wouldn't take it on her own, she would run to her safe spot and wait for us" Ray said, dropping Tony on his feet.
"Well, where's her hiding spot?" Sera asked.
Tony fixed himself, "The lab"
"Back to the lair we go then"
Back in the mansion, the turtles were struggling to win against Metal.
"After years of not being able to fight any of you, I was expecting more of a challenge."
Metal was about to strike down on Leo, when he pulled out the dagger Leah had in her room. This caused Metal to laugh maniacally.
"A tiny dagger?! That belongs to pretty boy! What a joke!"
Leo looked at her in confusion, "What are you talking about?!"
This caused Metal to laugh more, "The big, strong leader of the Hamato Clan! Didn't even realize his own precious princess fell for my prized pupil!"
"Your prized pupil?!"
She smirked, "Andrew, come to me!" Andrew came out of the shadows, with his spear in his hands.
"So.. these are the Hamato Brothers"
The four brothers got a real good look at him and Leo immediately recognized what his species was.
"A siren?!"
Metal stood behind Andrew, "Not exactly... sirens are less vicious... Andrew is a sea monster, my best soldier."
"Oh, that's a good joke!"
Andrew threw his spear and it flew into Mikey's mask, attaching him to the wall.
"Dah!! Hey!"
"Andrew, finish them for me."
Andrew turned around and looked at her, "You said, we use them as bait... that I can use them to get Leah on our side. A kunoichi like her is powerful, strong, beaut... she's perfect... for our cause-"
"Don't tell me you actually cared about that pathetic creature!" She snarled, "Don't forget what they did to your species, Student."
Andrew looked down, he grabbed the twin katanas on his back and turned towards the four brothers.
"Listen, we don't know what you're talking about!"
"Shut up. I'll make your end. Quick."
"Go ahead and try."
Andrew attacked them, it was then they realized Andrew was at their level of skill. Possibly even better.
"Oh great"
"Leo, out of every guy in New York... YOUR DAUGHTER HAD TO FALL IN LOVE WITH OUR ARCH ENEMY'S STUDENT?!" Raph yelled.
"HOW IS THAT MY FAULT?!"
"YOU SHOULD'VE TAUGHT HER THAT GUYS ARE SH**HEADS!"
"WELL SORRY FOR BEING A LITTLE LATE ON THAT!"
Back with the others, They ran into the lair.
"Father?!" Leah yelled, "Coral?" Sera yelled, "AUBREY?!" Ray yelled.
It was dead silent as they looked through the entire lair for any sign of them. Until they checked the dojo, Leah immediately noticed the opened katana case, which was empty.
"What the.."
Tony's father came up behind Remus, trying to knock him out. Before the others could warn him, Remus managed to pin Tony's father to the ground in .5 seconds.
"Damn!"
"I see my private lessons are doing wonders, Mus" Leah smiled.
"Yeah, wait, what's that?"
The team minus one looked at the back of Tony's fathers neck, there was a small device. Remus pulled the small device off his neck and looked at it.
"This doesn't explain where Aubrey is" Tony said, he helped his father up.
"No it won't.. I know where she is"
"Where is she, father?" His father has never seen Tony so worried before.
".. the gems took her to that giant thing in the sky that looks like a hand"
"Are... you... kidding me?! We have to go back out there?!"
"If you want her back, then yeah!"
"We have to save her, who knows what they're doing to her!" Sera yelled.
"Well, we have to figure out how to get into the damn thing!" Ray shouted back.
As they continued yelling at each other, Aubrey was strapped down to a table, in the ship in an all yellow room.
"Aubrey-Rose Raquel Hamato, daughter of Shadina Kitsune and Donatello Hamato." A voice spoke, waking Aubrey up from her slumber.
".. where am I? Who are you?"
There was a giant woman, standing over her. Her skin was yellow, her hair was in a pixie cut, it was yellow as well but she had a helmet over her head. She was wearing yellow battle armor which matched her yellow eyes but two things made her terrifying, her pupils were diamond shaped and she had a giant yellow diamond engraved in her chest.
"Like many of my gems, I am also a gem but I have more power than they do... But you may call me, Yellow Diamond."
Aubrey shook in fear then struggled to escape.
"W-What do you want from me?"
"Your mother passed down a gift to you, a gift that could help us transform this world."
"What gift?"
"The gift of darkness." Yellow Diamond put her finger out and tried to use her nail to touch her forehead but a force field surrounded Aubrey.
Aubrey gasped as the charm necklace around her neck glowed, making Yellow Diamond's finger phase out.
"Of course! Shadina would make a protection charm to protect her prized jewel!" She hissed.
"So.. what now?"
"If I can't touch you... That means I'll have to take it apart... Piece by Piece." Yellow put her hand into a device which made a bunch of cables appear.
"No.. no!"
The cables started connecting to her body as Aubrey screamed in horror.
Meanwhile, the team was trying to get to Aubrey.. and that was failing miserably
"How are we gonna get up there?" Leah asked.
"We could try and sneak onto one of the ships that are carrying people away?"
"But there's eight gems in each one, Remus" She said.
"Wait, how many did you say there were again, princess?"
"Eight" Leah said.
"We could all dress up as robots!" Sera said. She tried to lighten up the situation.
"Or we could-!" Tony started but was interrupted by the sound of gems shattering. The four of them looked in the direction of the shattering and they saw Ray beating up the last gem that was still standing and opened up the pod to the ship.
"This works"
"Yeah, Thanks Ray"
"Whatever, get your asses in here, we need to save the nerdette."
The team snuck into the ship, it closed but then they realized it needed to be piloted.
"Great. Who can make this bucket fly?"
Tony sighed and put his hands into the device, he started piloting the ship.
"Perfect"
"We just need to hurry... it hurts.." Tony groaned in pain.
"Dude? What's wrong?"
"Just burns!" Tony landed the ship inside of the hand.
"Al..right?"
Tony gasped for air and immediately covered his ears and face.
"You good?"
"I'm fine, just go without me!"
"Alright then, team, on three.. one, two" Leah started, getting her hands near the door of the ship. "Three!"
The team fell out and started floating.
"Whoa!"
"What is happening?!" Ray yelled.
"The ship doesn't have gravity, Ray"
"No f**king sh**!!"
"What did you want me to say then? Oh we're just floating around, like it's no big deal!"
"Hey, Ray! Mus! Enough!"
"How will we find Bunty here?"
"Bunty?" Sera asked.
"It's my nickname for Aubrey," Tony said.
"Good question"
"AUBREY!!" Sera yelled but Remus covered her mouth.
"Could you be a little louder, I don't think all the gems heard us."
They all turned around and saw a group of gems, with their weapons.
"Never mind!! They heard you!"
"Let's bash some heads!" Leah smirked and pulled out her tanto.
Meanwhile, the turtles kept fighting against Andrew and were failing.
"I heard you four were some of the best fighters! Apparently, that's not what I'm seeing!"
Leo was pinned down to the floor, Andrew was about to strike down when Coral, Casey, Nightshade, and April jumped down and blocked his strike.
"What the?!"
"You think I would let you four fight alone?!" Coral yelled, she stood up and took off her bow tie to reveal a pink Coral gemstone.
She put her hand on the gem and pulled out a spear.
"How did the rest of you know we were here?"
"It was pretty simple, Mikey texted Nightshade where you four were going!" April explained as she pulled out her tessen.
"Oh, alright"
Coral and April were fighting Andrew while Casey and Nightshade tried to get all of them out of there.
"Come on, y'all need to leave!"
"No, we can't just leave!" Leo said, trying to go back.
"Leo, do you want Leah to see her father when she comes back?! She lost her mother, don't let her lose her father too!" Nightshade yelled.
".. fine."
Andrew chased them, but he grabbed Coral by her neck and tried to drag her down.
"Let go of me!!" She yelled.
"Coral!"
"YOU WON'T GET AWAY THIS TIME!"
Coral put her hand out for someone to grab it. Raph grabs her hand and pulls her up.
"COME BACK HERE AND FIGHT!!"
Leo saw his late wife's personality in Andrew's eyes.
"YOU COWARDS!!" Andrew yelled.
He sighed quietly and followed the others out the lair.
Back with Lele and her team.. they were running away from a pissed off Diamond
"Run!!" Leah and Remus yelled, as Tony carried Aubrey's bridal style while Ray had Sera over her shoulder.
"Lele!! Why's that big gem lady still chasing us?!"
"I don't know! Just get to the last ship!!"
They ran to the last ship and one by one, they climbed into the ship.
"You won't be able to escape." She hissed as she fired electricity out of her hands, closing the ship before Leah could get in.
"No!" Leah put her hand on the glass as the team kept trying to open the ship.
"Lele!!"
Leah looked at Remus and she had a look in her eyes, that says she was about to do something stupid.
"Oh sh**"
"What? What's wrong, nerd?"
Leah smiled at them, she mouthed four words....
"Take care of them" She ran towards Yellow Diamond and wrapped chains around to keep her from getting close to the ship.
"Princess, what the hell are you doing?!"
"Go!! I can't hold her forever!"
"Leah! No!! We need you!!" Aubrey yelled as Tony held her back.
"Go!! Hurry!"
"Lele!! You have to come home with us!!"
"Just go!!"
Ray was trying to break the glass but Remus held her back.
"Let me go nerd!!"
"Mus! Just tell my dad that I fought until the end!" She smiled which made Remus let go of Ray for a split second.
But during the split second, the chains around Yellow Diamond broke, causing her to fire more electricity at the ship.
Ray placed her hands on the glass and spoke as the ship started flying away.
"Leah!" She screamed, it was the first time she ever called her by her actual name.
The ship landed in the water and resurfaced after a few moments. It was at that moment they could finally open the ship again.
The team frantically looked up and saw the ship flying away before exploding as debris fell into the water.
"No.."
Ray sat down, she looked down at the ground in guilt. She lost someone else....
"Leah... She sacrificed herself to save the world..." Aubrey spoke softly.
"No.. Lele isn't gone.. right?"
"I gave her nothin' but a hard time... if I had a do-over... I would take it..."
"Really?"
"Really" Ray recognized the voice as she turned around and saw Leah in the water, swimming towards the ship.
"Leah!!"
"Hey team" She smiled as she climbed onto the ship, they noticed scales and gills disappeared as soon as she dried off.
"Lele!!"
Leah smiled and noticed Aubrey and Sera were balling their eyes out.
"Ah! I'm sorry you two!!" Leah tried comforting them.
Remus just shook his head silently and smacked her upside the head.
"Ah! Sorry Mus!"
"Its okay, just do not pull this bullsh** again."
"I won't" She smiled as they formed a group hug.
Back at the lair
"Hey guys! Come look at the TV!"
The guys and friends looked at the TV and saw that the invasion was over.
"Whoa"
They heard laughter as the young team entered the lair.
"Kids?"
"Dad!!" Ray and Leah shouted.
"Papa!" Aubrey yelled.
"Pop-sicle!!" Sera yelled.
Tony ran towards his father and hugged him tightly as Remus stood behind them.
"Aww"
"It was crazy! This big gem lady tried to touch Aubrey but her necklace started glowing and she couldn't touch her! So she got all these cables and... and!" Sera tried to explain but she was out of breath.
"Okay! Okay! Slow down Sera!!"
"And then we came here and Ray attacked the lady and Tony picked Aubrey up and she said something in Spanish but we were running and! The ship was closing so the lady shot out lighting bolts and locked us in the ship except Lele!!"
"What?!"
"So Lele used her chains to trap a crazy gem and held off until the ship left then the ship exploded!"
"Damn!!"
"Sera! That is enough!" Leah covered her mouth.
"Wow"
"Dad? You okay? You seem shaken up"
"Yeah, i'm okay.. you just remind me of something"
Leo didn't wanna bring up Andrew especially not now when they were supposed to be celebrating.
"Party time!!"
"Yeah!!"
Music filled the lair as everyone began dancing. It then started to get late into the night and the ones who don't live in the lair, started to go home.
Leo waved goodbye to Tony and his father as Raph and Mikey were packing up, getting ready to leave.
"This was fun"
"Yeah, where's Ray? We gotta head home"
They saw Coral walk to the couch with a large blanket.
"Coral? What's the blanket for?"
"I figured they would like to stay warm throughout the evening" Coral gestured to Leah and Ray who were sleeping back to back while Sera laid on Leah's chest and Aubrey slept on Ray's lap.
"Aww"
"They had a rough day, I don't suppose you and Mikey would be mad if they spent the night?" Leo asked.
"Nope!"
"Hmm.. it'll be nice to sleep over"
The turtles left the young mutants alone, allowing them to rest from their eventful day.
