Chapter 57: Watch the world burn
The next day, everyone was busy getting ready up until it got dark, Leah was in her room getting into her stealth uniform when she heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's father," Leo said, from the other side.
"Come in"
Leo opened the door, "Please don't do this"
"Why not? We'll be fine"
"Leah! I lost your mother to that woman, I'm not gonna send my daughter to go into the woman's lair who killed your mother!"
"It's not like I'm gonna face her head on, it's just a stealth mission to save someone I love!! Something I thought you, out of all people, would get!"
"It's different! I've had scars, you don't know how many times your mother scolded me for thinking I'm invincible! I will tell you it now. I'm not willing to risk anyone's lives, especially my daughters." Leo walked away, leaving Leah upset.
"Of course you'd tell me no. You always say it."
Leah took a deep breath and walked out of her room to the others.
"Everyone knows the plan?"
"Yup"
"Me, Remus, and Ray will sneak in and Sera will distract the guards"
"What about Nerdette?"
"I found some old car keys in papa's lab, I cleaned up the car and it's ready to go!"
"Perfect!"
"Ready?"
"Yup!"
"Let's do this!" The group of teens fist bumped as they walked out of the lair, that is when Aubrey introduced the shell-raiser... well, the latest version.
"Damn!!"
The shell-raiser had a new paint job with the groups symbols on the side, it was laced with silver and there was an added seat in front for Remus.
"Ooh!"
"This was my most favorite project yet!!"
"I'll bet! It's awesome!"
"Come on, team!" Leah walked into the car and got into the driver seat.
Everyone else got in the car and drove off. While the adults were listening to Leo rant.
"She's reckless! Stubborn! Cocky! She thinks she's invincible! Oh god, she's impossible to talk to!" Leo ranted.
"Sounds exactly like you Leo"
"Oh hush! I don't wanna risk her life"
"Well, that's what happens when your child is a carbon copy of you"
"Ugh! How do you deal with Light?!" Leo asked, looking at her.
"She's more stubborn and more likely to murder" she told him, drinking some water.
"That's not helping"
"I'm not trying to help, I'm trying to be realistic! Look, what would Novo do?"
"Actually be the one to talk to her"
"Besides that?"
"Tell me to give her some time and then talk to her, but don't lecture her about what happened to you, because she needs to make mistakes to learn from them"
"Exactly, Leah is her own person! She's not just you and she's definitely not just Novo, she is who she is and no one can change that"
"Fine, fine.. Which reminds me, where is your murder happy daughter anyway?"
"She's on a date, I figured she would want to get away from me as soon as possible, we got into another fight"
"Over what?"
"What else do mothers and daughters fight about? I told her she can't get her belly button pierced, she called me an old Hag! I spanked her"
"Maybe you should take your own advice"
"Shut up, I've given her plenty of freedom! She's just... to much like me"
"Maybe.. Let her get something else pierced?"
"Over my dead body. Her second option was her tongue!"
"Did she have a third option?"
"Let's see.. Her genitals!"
"Damn! Does this girl wanna set off Metal detectors?!" Haley shouted, "I got my nose pierced and that was it!"
"Haley, you got a tattoo on the same day"
"That's beside the point, April!"
"Your gonna get gray hairs before you even turn 40"
"I know"
Meanwhile with the team
Ray, Leah, and Remus were swimming in the sewers underneath the mansion, they got close to a drain and pried it open. When they snuck in, there were a few footbots guarding the prison like cells.
Ray jumped out of the water and burnt the footbots to a crisp, allowing Leah and Remus to sneak in. She quickly followed after them and looked through some of the cells, hoping to find him.
"Andrew, it's us!"
"Leah?" Andrew poked his head out and saw Leah, "Took you long enough!
"Well, we got tired of waiting you to escape on your own"
"Is this a rescue mission or a romantic comedy? Come on!"
Leah blushed and gave them a look, "Really?"
"You should've saw this coming, especially if it's from Ray, just hurry up and save your boyfriend"
"You sound like you have a hot date after this"
"Just ignore me"
"Can you guys watch out for any foot and Metal?" Leah asked as she picked the lock.
"Alright, alright"
When Leah finally picked the lock, Andrew picked her up and kissed her, full of passion as she kissed back. Ray looked at them and nearly threw up while Remus had a smug look on his face.
"Oh my.. Really?!"
"I'd save this for when we aren't stuck in here anymore" Remus said, pushing the two away from each other.
"Remus, this has made me realize something... You need to spend the night with Nymph"
"I.. how about we talk about this later?" he said, trying to avoid that conversation.
"Wait... How did you get past Anton?!" Andrew shouted.
"They didn't." They heard as Anton stepped into the light.
"Oh no"
As they realized they forgot about Metal's second hand, Light was busy ranting to Hayden about the old hag that is her mother.
"She's driving me crazy!!"
"I'll bet.. And she said no to a belly button piercing without telling you why?"
"Yes, and the tongue piercing and the genitals!"
"Oh.. um.. I think you'd look cute with either a tongue or belly button piercing"
"I don't wanna look cute, I wanna look threatening!"
"You can be both, cute to me but threatening to other people"
"Really?"
"Mmm hmm"
Light smiled, "You're too good to me" she rested her head on his shoulder.
"Aww" he smiled back, wrapping his arm around her and kissing her forehead.
They stayed like that for a few minutes, until they saw nothing but a blue figure go flying right past them.
"What the?!" Light took a closer look and it was Sera, holding a knife.
"The hell?"
"Help!!"
"Oh god, Sera!"
"Help me!"
"Coming! I'm sorry, just hold on!"
Leah was pinned down to the ground, Andrew jumped on Anton's back.
"Get off her!!"
"Get off of me, you brat!"
"No!"
"Aubrey, we need some help here!"
"I'm still 3 blocks away!"
"The dog whistle!"
As Leah was about to try the dog whistle, she saw Light jump down and started attacking Anton.
"Hey there, Blue Jay!"
"Thanks, but what are you doing here!"
"Sera said you needed help! Plus, I wanted to show up you and see that stupid look on your face!"
"Of course"
"Come on!"
"I'm coming!!"
The four teenagers ran outside, where they saw Sera walking around the building, holding her arm in pain.
"Sera, are you okay?"
"I'm fine! It's not my water balloon throwing arm" Sera whimpered.
"Aww, come on, we'll patch you up, when-!"
"Hey, look at the fresh meat I found!!"
The group of teens gasped as they were surrounded by footbots and Anton.
"And look what I caught for a snack!" Anton chuckled evilly, he scanned the group and saw Light, "Ah, the daughter of Karai Saki. I believe I have someone that belongs to you."
"Who... No... Hayden!"
"That's his name?"
Anton picked Hayden up, he was struggling but failing to get free.
"No, let him go! He hasn't done anything to you!"
"Oh? Maybe I'll let him suffer."
"Let go"
"Be quiet, you little brat!" He snarled and punched him.
"NO! Don't lay a hand on my Hayden!" Light yelled as Aubrey came with the shell-raiser, blowing a dog whistle.
This made Anton drop Hayden and cover his ears in pain. Light took this opportunity to pick Hayden up bridal style and carried him into the shell-raiser. The others soon followed after them but Andrew stared at the roof and saw Metal staring down at him.
"Andrew, come on!"
Andrew got inside the shell-raiser, as Aubrey drove back to the lair.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine.. but I see double.."
"Double?"
"It's when I see.. way more than just one of you"
"Oh, Andrew... this scar is fresh" Leah rubbed his cheek.
"It's fine, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but are you okay?"
"I'm good! Now.. don't you need to bother someone?"
"No, I'm just glad you're safe!" Leah smiled.
"Phew"
"But, I do! You need to spend the night with Nymph, Mus!!"
"Shut up, Ray!"
"Everyone, we're here!" Aubrey shouted and parked the shell-raiser.
"Come on, you'll get wrapped up Sera"
"Yay!!"
The teens walked out of the car and flopped down in the living room, Aubrey used her powers to get bandages and gauze which got the attention of the adults.
"Kids?"
The adults walked out and saw them wrapped in bandages, Leah was kneeling on the ground wrapping her thighs so they didn't see her.
"Leah? Are you okay?"
"Dad? It's okay, it's just a scratch-!"
"What have you kids done?! I thought I told you.."
They saw Andrew, standing behind Leah. He had a look of shame on his face.
".. Andrew"
Andrew walked in front of the adults and kneeled down.
"I am no longer loyal to the foot clan, my allegiance has changed to you, Master Leonardo."
"We have a gift for you, come here"
Andrew followed after them and he saw Angelina in the dojo, reading a book under the tree with Tony, Phillip, and Lena next to her.
".. Sister"
Angelina looked up and dropped her book, "Oh Andrew... What have they done to you?" She ran up to him and hugged him tightly.
"They told me you died.."
"Do I look dead do you?" They both laughed at each other but she smacked him in the back of the head, "HOW THE F**K DID YOU GET AWAY FROM ME?!"
"I don't know!! But.. how are you?"
"I'm good but damn! Last time I saw you, you were trying to wear a plastic bag as a shirt!"
"Oh stop!!"
Tony, Phillip and Lena watched them and chuckled. Until Lena realized something and smirked at Phillip.
"Looks like you're gonna have problems, lover boy!!"
"Shut up!"
"What are they talking about?"
"I don't know but I met your girlfriend!"
"And?"
"How much longer until the wedding, lover boy!"
"Shut up!"
"Ahem!" Leah leaned against the wall.
"Hey Lele"
"I hate to interrupt but Andrew, you should eat something, you look like you haven't eaten in a while"
"I will, but can we talk for a moment?"
"Sure, come on"
They walked out of the dojo and she led him to her room.
"What is it?"
"Well, first I want... Is that a rat on your pillow?"
"Yeah, it's my pet, Captain Ryan but that is besides the point! What's up?"
"We never finished what we started during Spring Fling"
"Oh?" Leah smiled and sat on her bed. He smiled and sat next to her.
The two kissed each other and it was interrupted by Captain Ryan who jumped onto Andrew's face.
"Ack! Hey!"
Leah started laughing, "Stop moving!"
"Well, get your rat off me!"
"I'm getting him!"
He finally stopped moving as she grabbed Captain Ryan off his face.
"He doesn't like men"
"I can see that!"
"He reacted better with you than with Remus, how do you think he got that scar on his nose?"
"Fair" he chuckled and tried to pet him.
Captain Ryan hissed at him and tried to scratch his hand.
"Ow, hey!"
"Okay! He's going in his cage!" Leah quickly put him in his cage.
"Well, that was nice"
"Yeah" Leah smiled at him and they kissed again.
Until this time, they were interrupted by Leo.
"Am I interrupting anything important."
"N-no dad" she pulled away, looking up at him.
"Dinner's ready."
"Coming!"
