Chapter 76: Return to New York
The next day
"So, what's the plan Lele?"
"Step one, storm the castle walls. Aubrey, you had an idea?"
"Mmm hmm! It's not as good as the Shell-Raiser, but it has more weapons" Aubrey said, pulling out a blueprint of a new and improved Party Wagon.
"Can it withstand a gem ambush?"
"Yes.. probably.. Hopefully"
"Then let's stop talking and build this sucker!!" Lena shouted, grinning evilly.
A few minutes later
The teenagers and the adults started fixing up the old minivan and made it into a beautiful power vehicle.
"Perfect!"
"The new and improved... Party Wagon!!"
"Now, let's get our stuff and go back"
"Everyone get to packing!"
"Alright, Alright, princess!"
Everyone began packing as Coral stared at the forest.
"See you later, my friend"
"Coral, let's get going!" Haley shouted, as she got into the Party Wagon.
"I'm coming Haley"
"I see someone can finally fly now"
"Ah hush, how do I look?" Remus spun around, wearing a long sleeved green shirt, with black jeans, and work boots.
"You look amazing, my dear daddy" Nymph told him, then realized what she said and started turning bright red. "Wait, that's no-!"
"WHOA!! Pump the brakes!" Leah shouted, as Ray and Lena burst out laughing. "Where did daddy come from?!"
"I-I meant honey!!"
"O-Oh my!" Aubrey covered her face, trying to forget about the conversation.
"I don't get it?" Sera and Denny said in confusion.
"Well, what do you know" Tony said, shrugging it off.
"Oh snap!!" Phillip grinned evilly as Haley, Casey, and Nightshade couldn't contain their laughter as Coral groaned in shame and disgust.
"I.. um.. I don't.. um.."
"Nymph, you finally broke your boyfriend~!"
"Shut up! Everyone in the car!!"
"But we didn't get to show off our new outfits!!"
"Get your a$$es in the car or get left!!"
The teenagers jumped into the car, well Leah picked Remus up like a box and shoved him into the car.
"So.. we're ignoring the whole-!"
"Yes!!"
Casey began driving straight to New York with Coral and Nightshade in the front with him.
"We're gonna be driving for about an hour"
"That gives us enough time to have an honest talk about our feelings-!"
"NO!"
"Oh come on, I'm not about to ignore what just happened between the second pair of cinnamon rolls!"
"Nightshade, when was the last time you had a date?" Lovey asked, which got Nightshade to shut up.
"When this sh** is over, Haley and I are setting you two up on dates"
"Yeah, no!" Coral and Nightshade said in unison.
"Then stop messing with the kids' love lives!"
"What else are we supposed to do! Be adults?"
"Yes!"
"Nah, that's too boring!"
"Well, how about we ask an important question like... Haley, are you and Raph gonna have another-!"
"Just drive!!"
".. why did you call me that?"
"I... It was just the heat of the moment!"
".. oh"
"I was trying to say, you looked hot" Nymph turned bright red.
"Well.. first, thank you"
"Mmm Hmm" Nymph held his hand, still embarrassed.
"And second.. maybe you could call me that again, when we aren't near the others, hmm?"
Nymph turned bright red as Remus grinned and kissed her cheek.
"So.. are we gonna tell your mom to get some condoms?"
"Seriously, right in front of me?" Leah groaned as she sat across from the couple, which caused them to panic.
"We aren't doing anything!!"
"Yet, you dorks"
"We're not!! At least we aren't Phillip and Angie!" Remus said, gesturing to the other couple, who were making out.
"At least they don't talk about it!"
"Talk about what?"
"NOTHING!"
One hour later
Casey drove up the border of New York, which only gave the others a few minutes to memorize their plan.
"So, full out attack or ninja-y?"
"Ninja-y, we scout the cities for survivors then we search for our dad's and grandmother"
That's when a bunch of bright lights were turned on, shining onto the Party Wagon.
"What the?!"
"Hey, relax and lay down! Alright!"
One of the military soldiers walked up to the driver's window and tapped on it.
"Roll down your window!"
Casey rolled down his window and wrapped his arms around Coral, to pretend that they were a couple.
"Casey, let go of me."
"Just play along."
"Authorized personnel only, nobody goes in and out of New York City"
"Whatever you say, Sir! Me and my wife are gonna turn around" Casey smiled causing Coral to groan.
The soldier turned around and started walking back to the gate. That's when Coral noticed a mind controlling device.
"Do you see that? It's a diamond mind controlling device... I bet all of them have it."
"They're all controlled?!"
"Yes, that is how the diamond's activate when they plan to alienate a planet"
"Well, that's not about to happen!" Casey shouted, shifting the Party Wagon into drive and hit the gas pedal, ramming the gate.
"Casey! You are an idiot!!" Coral slapped him on the chest.
"I know! What else isn't new!" Casey shouted as he kept driving around the city, away from the soldiers that were shooting at them.
"I swear you two at like an old married couple!"
"I'd rather die than be married to this idiot!"
"I'd rather die than be married to bougie!"
"Yeah, plus Casey has his eye on a school teacher"
"Hey.. where are all the people?"
"You think the diamond's took... everyone?" Sera whimpered as she held onto Lovey.
"That would be impossible.. right?"
"No.. it's completely possible, I only sense maybe a thousand people left" Aubrey turned to look at the others, "They're gone... Thousands of people just gone!"
"Well, at least we haven't run into any g.." Sera started then noticed the Party Wagon slowing down as there were a bunch of gems in front of them.
"SERA!!"
"Oh why did I have to open my big mouth!!"
"It is the traitor known as C-23 and the filthy humans! Attack!!"
Casey tried to back the Party Wagon out the alleyway but they were surrounded.
"Ready the weapons!"
Sera started shaking soda bottles and put them in water cannons.
"Readying soda cannons!"
"Loading breath mints!" Aubrey said, putting the breath mints in a container on top of the soda bottles.
The side of the Party Wagon swung open and Aubrey and Sera began shooting the soda cannons at the gems.
"Bomb-A-Pelt, locked and loaded!"
Ray pulls out a missile while Lena loads it with salt.
"Launch!"
The missile launched into the gem's and once it exploded, the gems poofed.
"Let's get out of here!"
Casey then hit the gas and drove off, heading straight for the sewers.
"Take a left, the secret entrance is right there" Aubrey pressed a button on her phone which opened a tunnel to the sewers.
Casey took the tunnel and parked the car in an abandoned sewer pipe.
"You think we'll be safe down here!" Sera shouted as her and the others got out of the Party Wagon.
"Shh! Full ninja mode"
The team ran through the sewers and heard some gems talking about the lair.
"What are they saying?"
"It's insane how these mutants can be so well known but live in a dump."
"Well, they get called freaks by mere mortals on a daily basis, living here is the better alternative."
"Still, it's a miracle that those pathetic half-breeds are alive!"
"Agreed-!"
"WHO'S PATHETIC NOW?!" Ray growled and used her sai's to poof the gems.
"Aubrey, you think you could use your magic to track our parents? You did it before"
"I'm not sure... Their minds are no longer connected to their body which means they could be unconscious, crazy, or... who knows what"
"Not even grandmother?"
"I haven't been able to develop a mental connection with her yet"
"Ooh! Could we try the lair!"
"Yeah, come on!"
A few minutes later
The team snuck over to the entrance of the lair, which was covered with gems, gem shards and furniture destroyed.
"Kids, stay here with the others. Leah, Aubrey, Ray come with us"
"Aww, but I wanna-!" Sera started but Remus covered her mouth.
The adults and the three teenagers snuck into the lair, searching for clues. Haley stepped on a picture of the turtles with their kids.
"Look at this.."
Lovey looked over her shoulder, "Mikey..."
".. I'm gonna take this with us, let's keep looking"
"Yeah... Has Mikey talked about me?"
"Not as much as he used to"
"Oh..."
"Hey, don't worry... He hasn't slept with another woman in 15 years, you'll be like the river and he is dehydrated~" Haley snickered as Lovey shoved her.
"I'll bet Raph was too!"
"Why do you think I'm wearing this corset?"
"You're not!"
"I am! Being a mother only made me wiser!"
"Ma! Aunty! We need to leave now!!" Ray shouted, with her, Leah and Aubrey running back to the others.
"What did y-!"
Suddenly gunshots were heard throughout the lair, causing everyone to scream in terror.
"Let's leave!!"
They all ran out of the sewers and made it to the others, who were waiting by a pool.
"When did you dorks find a pool?"
"When you kicked us out" Remus grabbed Leah, "Leah, look right here" He pointed at a carving on the wall, "L + N forever"
"It's cute, but who did this? You?"
"No, your parents"
"What.. oh"
"Guess, your parents were madly in love, huh?"
"Yeah.. I guess they were"
Captain Ryan nuzzled Leah's neck, as she stared at the carving that is when Aubrey squealed.
"Aubrey?"
"It's my papa! I can feel him, he's nearby but he's... different! Come on!!"
"We're coming, we're coming!"
Aubrey started running down a tunnel with the others following her, they saw Donnie tearing up footbots but he looked different.
"Papa!"
Donnie turned around, he had spikes coming out of his head, shoulders, and legs, a long spiked tail, a spike shell, and one of his eyes was blacked out. He roared at the team, making them jump back.
"Uncle D! It's us!!"
Donnie attacked them but he was being held back by Lovey's and Sera's vines.
"It's okay Papa! Remember me?"
Donnie growled as Aubrey stared at him, for a split second he saw her mother then saw Mistress Metal.
"Try to remember us!"
Donnie growled and tried to bite Lovey's hand, which caused her to shove a flower in his mouth.
"Donnie, it's us! Come on, you have to remember!"
Donnie started calming down as Aubrey hugged him, he fell to his knees as Aubrey let go.
"Papa, it's us, we're okay"
Donnie growled in response, Aubrey saw that he was still wearing his necklace.
"Hey, can I see this?"
Donnie hissed as Aubrey quickly took off his necklace, she stared at the engagement rings.
"I'll give it back! I just wanna see it"
"Engagement rings?"
"Yeah.. were these from him and my mother?"
"Yeah, those rings have been in your mama's family for generations"
"Oh.."
Footbot's head turned on and alerted more soldiers.
"Oh no, Foot"
Footbots appeared and started attacking the group which caused Donnie to escape.
"Donnie!!"
Donnie growled as footbots tried to grab him which caused him to tear them apart until one of them knocked him out.
"No! Donnie!"
Lovey and Haley screamed as footbots tied them up and began dragging them away with Donnie.
"NO!!" Aubrey, Ray, and Sera shouted, following after them with everyone else trailing behind.
"Hey, we're getting them back! Let's go"
At the foot clan mansion
"Mistress, our enemies are gone, what are we doing now? Waiting for those gem creatures to take over the Earth?!"
"Watch your tone with me, Anton. Or did you forget what I promised you? As soon as those Diamond's guards are down, I will shatter them then the city will belong to the foot clan at last."
"It better-!"
Footbots burst into the door, dragging Donnie, Lovey, and Haley inside.
"It can't be!"
"Donatello Hamato, alive... I knew Haley would survive but you... Lovestruck, was it?"
"Why does it matter."
"I guess what they say is true, when a flower is frozen... It does live forever" Metal walked over to Lovey and grinned evilly, "Take the three of them to Stockman, bring the prisoners up from the prison as well."
"Yes Mistress"
The three turtles and Karai were taken to Stockmans lab, where they saw Haley and Lovey trying to fight off footbots.
"Are my eyes deceiving me.. Or is that?"
"Lovey..?"
"Mikey...?" Lovey froze when she saw him, which gave Baxter Stockman the opportunity to weaken her with a plant killer.
"Hey! Get off her!!"
"Okay, vine lady get in the cage" Baxter dragged Lovey into one of the cages as the footbots pushed the rest into cages.
Haley growled and ran straight through the glass, expecting it to break but it just knocked her back.
"Whoa, that is a whole lot of pretty and whole lot of crazy, right Anton?" Baxter chuckled nervously as Anton just shook his head.
"Just cure Donatello."
"I will! Shredder's henchmen were more funny" Baxter walked over to his computer as Metal walked into the lab.
"You better find a way to cure him."
"I will, as soon as he goes to sleep that way I can get a blood sample."
Metal looked at Karai and grinned, "Well, let me look at you."
"What do you want."
"Just wanted to know how it feels to have something you worked so hard for... Taken away." Metal snapped her fingers and the lights turned on to reveal Solaris hanging upside down over mutagen.
"No.. after all these years, you choose now, why? To impress your boy toy"
"Oh please, who needs a man. I'm doing this, simply because.... You need to understand how it felt to have your whole life taken from you."
"You double mutate my husband, you may as well double mutate the rest of us."
"Snakey, what are you doing?"
"Oh, you love pushing me! Is that why your daughter isn't here? Because I recall her calling me the b**ch"
"Well, look who she's related to, you were never afraid to say whatever, even if it got you beat up"
"Yeah, you also pushed away your best friend, Shinigami, your daughter, your brothers, your husband who is up there and me. You seem to forget who you are"
"And you lost who you were when you turned 10 and father burnt everything, even your notebook."
"Yeah, father was a piece of sh** but... The real reason I'm doing this, now? It's because I'm tired of watching you and this little fantasy of yours ruining the legacy he built for us..." Metal grinned.
"You're seriously doing all of this because I'm happy?"
"Oh yes, you w***e! You abandoned me! SO I CAN GET MY VENGEANCE!"
"Girls! Girls! You're both pretty, can I go home now?!" Solaris shouted, tired of this back and forth.
The sisters froze for a second, looked over at Solaris and they started to laugh.
Everyone else including Baxter and Anton froze in fear and shock, none of them knew who to be more afraid of.
As the adults are terrified of the sisters, they don't notice the teenagers sneaking into the lair.
"Is that... Father?" Light whispered, as she saw Solaris being hung upside down with his prosthetic on the table.
"Looks like it.. Is that your mother.. And Metal we hear laughing?"
"Oh no, that son of a b**ch.... They broke her"
"Let's just focus on getting them out!"
The teenagers slid down the wall and landed in front of Donnie's cage.
"Papa, it's us"
Donnie ran over to them and sniffed the glass.
"It's okay, we won't hurt you!"
Aubrey used her phone to unlock the cage but then the team realized that Donnie was afraid of them.
"There has to be a way for us to reach him"
"Bunty, don't you have the elixir with you?" Tony rubbed Aubrey's shoulders, which made her fluster.
"I-I think so"
"We need you to be sure, we can't have him like this!"
"I know! Let me look really quick"
"Metal wasn't kidding, they're really half-breeds!" Baxter shouted, as he caught them red handed.
"Sh**!!"
"How's this for a half-breed?!" Ray shot a fireball at him which made him run towards a big red button.
"Get them!!"
Leah, Remus, Ray, Sera, and Aubrey chased after Stockman which left Lena, Nymph, Angelina, Phillip, and Tony with Donnie.
"Well, what now!"
"Tony, remember how you connected with the others with the dream beavers? How about you try it again?"
"I can try just watch my back" Tony walked over to Donnie and started using his powers.
"Got it!"
Leo gasped as he saw Leah attacking footbots, in both her normal form and komodo dragon form.
"Look at them go!"
"Is Remus flying?!"
"Looks like it!"
Remus was carrying Sera who used her vines and nunchucks as whips to tear footbots apart as Remus spun through the crowd.
"Come on Donatello, snap outta it!"
Donnie roared and hissed at the teenagers, which only made it harder for them.
"You are not a monster! You are Donatello Hamato!" Tony used his powers to let Donnie see his memories but all he saw was the memory of him being cursed, in repeat.
As he kept seeing the memory of getting cursed, he stared at Phillip then jumped on top of him and tried to bite his face off.
"Not again!! Get off!!"
Lena and Angelina pulled Donnie off of him, which only caused Nymph to panic and hit him on the head with a pipe.
"Nice one! But hitting people with pipes is my thing!"
"Yeah, but now we have to wake him up!"
"Oh no, come on, wake up!"
Haley started banging on the glass, trying to get the kids' attention.
"Kids!! Let us out!"
"Ma!" Ray tried running towards them but a footbot using a nunchuck to wrap around her and hang her over the mutagen with Solaris.
"Sh**!"
"Father, Ray!" Light jumped onto the chains and tried cutting them free.
"Worry about us later!"
"There is no way in hell I'm leaving you, two!"
"Light-!"
"I don't want to hear it." Light started cutting the chains as Karai looked up at her, she was in shock.
"That's your child Snakey"
Tony started shaking Donnie, "Wake up, Donatello! Wake up!!"
Donnie quickly woke up but he was still acting crazy.
"Donatello!!" Tony grabbed his head, "Look..." He began showing Donnie's best memories, of his fiance, of Aubrey, his brothers, his work, his life.
That finally made Donnie snap out of it. "Ugh.. Tony?"
"Donatello, is it you?"
"Yeah.. it is"
"Hamato!!" Lena, Nymph, and Phillip shouted, which made Donnie chuckle.
"Hello to you three too"
Donnie then ran out of the cage and started unlocking all of the cages.
As the adults were getting released from their cages, they started helping the teenagers.
"Let go of me!!!" Aubrey yelled as two footbots were trying to tear her apart.
Donnie ran over to her and knocked the footbots off her.
"Papa!" Aubrey smiled and cheered.
Light was struggling to break the chains and when she did, all three of them almost fell in the mutagen.
Karai transformed into her serpent form as she and Raph caught the three of them.
"Pops!"
"Mother!"
"Karai!" Solaris grabbed Karai's face and kissed her passionately, causing her to kiss back and make Light gag.
"Oh come on!"
Sera was being chased by flying footbots, who were trying to electrocute her.
"Hey! This is so not cool!"
Mikey ran after her alongside Lovey and the two used his nunchucks and her vines to hold back the footbots.
"Momsie! Pop-sicle!"
Lovey and Mikey stared at each other, it wasn't even five seconds and the two were already making out, causing Sera to have a stupid grin on her face.
"Leah!"
Leah was being pinned down by Baxter Stockman, who was trying to press the red button.
"Get off my daughter!"
Leah gasped as Leo picked Baxter up and threw him at the table, then picked up Leah, in shock that she was alive.
"Father.."
"Leah, you're alive?" Leo looked at her and recognized the jacket she had on, "This was your mothers.."
"I'm okay.. I found it when we were at the farmhouse, I missed you"
"I missed you too" Leo smiled and hugged her tightly, causing Leah to hug back until they heard alarms ringing.
"We need to go!"
Remus flew around and saw everyone reuniting with their parents, he landed on his feet only to be tackled by hugs from his siblings.
"Ack!"
"You're okay!!"
"I know, and I won't be if y'all don't stop squeezing me!!"
The Hamato Siblings let him go but Leo put both of hands on his shoulders.
"Thank you, for taking care of them I know it wasn't easy"
".. have we got stories to tell you, but we can tell them when we aren't about to get murdered by a giant female cheese grater and her boyfriend"
Metal and Anton walked into the room, by the giant tank of mutagen.
"Well, look who's out of their cages and the monster thinks like a man again."
"Oh when I get my hands on y-!"
"Wait, not now."
Leo looked at Leah then inhaled deeply, "She's right, now is not the time to fight."
Sera then dropped a smoke bomb and everyone disappeared to the Party Wagon.
The Hamato siblings and Solaris gasped in shock as they saw Casey, Coral, and Nightshade in the front seat, getting along.
"Hey dorks, get in!"
"Are my eyes deceiving me or is that Coral wearing a rock shirt and jeans?"
"We managed to get her to wear it"
"I feel unprofessional and a hooligan." Coral snarled as Nightshade untied her bun.
"You look fine, now.. where are we gonna stay?"
"We can't go back to the lair and where Light, Solaris and I live is a no due to the whole wanting to kill us situation, that's probably where she'd look next!"
"We can't go back to our apartments and or houses, the gems know where we live"
"But we need someplace that'll hold.. all of us and semi suitable for a baby"
"Wait, what?"
April uncovered a blanket to show baby Preston sleeping, cuddling Sera's stuffed animal.
"You had the baby!"
"Shh!!"
"Aww, what's the name"
"His name is Preston, now let's drive!"
"Alright, alright!"
Casey started driving out of the tunnel until they heard a thump on the roof.
"There's no escape from Mistress!"
Anton tore a hole in the roof, put his hand in and grabbed Haley pulling her out.
"Haley!"
"Ma!"
Haley growled and used her claws to support herself, "Let me ask ya this. Did you know?"
"Know what? How weak you are!"
"You know what I'm talking about. Did you know who I was underneath that stupid Solar Flare mask?!"
"No, I didn't! Even if I did, why should I care!"
Haley started laughing like a maniac, which the adults knew all too well what that laugh means.
"He is a dead man"
"Mmm hmm"
"I had a daughter, Her first steps... First words... missed it all, my husband was struggling to be a single father, my daughter's godfather struggling to help... You have just opened your grave!" Haley's whole body was set on fire as she blasted Anton through the tunnel.
"Babe, babe.."
Haley jumped back into the Party Wagon, she calmed herself down as she sat down in between Ray and Raph.
"Okay, um.. does anyone have any ideas where we can go?"
Sera gasped as she got an idea, "Everyone wait! I know exactly where to go!!"
"Should we be scared?"
"It's sacred, special... No one will ever think to look for us there!" Sera smiled.
A few minutes later
Casey pulled a tarp over the party wagon in front of a gated botanical garden, with the windows boarded up.
"Here?"
"It's perfect, right!" Sera cheered, as everyone looked around.
"Yeah! It is!"
"This.. kinda reminds me of mom's story"
"What story?"
"How her and father met.. she told us their first date was at a Zen garden like area, this is kinda similar to it"
"That's so cute!!"
"Yeah.. cute"
"Um... Where's Mikey and Lovey?" Haley looked around.
"Um.. we'll look for them later!"
"But I wanted to show Pop-Sicle the bracelet I made!"
"Later! We'll look for them later!"
"But-!"
"Hey Sera! Wanna come play with Preston!"
"Oooh, Okie!"
"Mother? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine.. Why?"
"You look pale"
"Oh, well, I feel okay"
"My love?" Solaris rubbed her shoulders and kissed her cheek.
"Yes?"
"Care to help me cover the windows?"
"Mmm hmm"
"Mus, what are you still doing outside?"
".. no reason.."
"Mus"
"I'm tired, Nymph"
"Tired in general or tired of.. what?"
"Just in general"
"Then come inside and go to sleep"
"I can't sleep"
"Oh?" Nymph rubbed the tips of his ears and stroked his wings.
"W-what are you doing?"
"I'm helping you sleep"
"B-babe"
Nymph kissed his cheek as Remus held onto her.
"Hey lovebirds! It's getting dark, come inside!"
Nymph gently lured Remus inside, he was lovestruck. Pardon the pun.
"Really?"
"Yes, now come on"
