Chapter 85: A Quarren seen in sewers
A couple of days have passed, the team began growing stronger, Until one evening with the Mighty Mutanimals.
"Ooh, what happened with you, Nightshade?"
"Nothing much, Mondo," Nightshade chuckled as he was on the phone with Mondo Gecko, "Shouldn't you be paying attention to your patrol?"
"We haven't gone anywhere yet! Plus Ray said she heard you mention something about a lady!"
"That is the last time I talk to Raph with her in the room!"
"Ooh, so what happened! Is there a date in your future!"
"I'm hanging up now!" Nightshade chuckled, as he hung up on the gecko.
"Hey!!"
"Mondo." Rockwell groaned as he floated towards him, "We must get going."
"Okay, okay!"
The two mutants walked through the sewers, searching for something or rather... Someone.
"Rockwell, I'm not seeing much"
"According to the news, there have been sightings of some sort of monster"
"Nothing specific?"
"They said it looked like a woman, 7ft tall, it had long hair but at the ends were tentacles, and it had glowing gold eyes"
"What kinda monster is that? If it isn't a mutant"
"I can sense it nearby... It's not of earth, nor a gem but rather... Alien."
"Alien?!"
"It's nothing we have not seen before, do you remember Shadina? The witch"
"Maybe.. why?"
"All I'm saying there are more life outside of here, some might be more powerful than mutants"
"How could anything, or anyone be more powerful than mutants?"
"Have you forgotten the K-!" The mutants froze as they heard stomping coming from a sewer pipe.
"You.. don't think that could be Slash.. right?"
"No, he is having dinner with Raphael and his family"
"Hey! Why couldn't we miss patrol!"
"Because you have been ditching your responsibilities"
"No I haven't!"
"Yes, you have, now let's focus"
"Finne"
The two mutants began walking through the sewers, not noticing the mysterious figure following them.
Back at the lair
"Hey, I finally have the season finale of our favorite show!!"
Leah, Remus, and Aubrey looked up as Sera sat in front of the T.V.
"Ray's gonna be pissed that we watched it without her!"
"Raydiant had to go spend dinner with her family, I'm sure she'll understand!"
"Are you sure about that?"
"Speaking of family dinner, what about you Mussy?"
"My mom's relatives are in town, I love them but there is no way in hell I'm missing this final"
"Not what we meant but okay!"
"I know, me and my mom are good, she... just misses my dad"
"What did she tell you about him this time?"
"She told me that they would sing love songs together"
"Aww!"
"Oh hush" Remus chuckled as he sat behind Sera with Leah and Aubrey on the couch.
"Turn it on Sera!"
"Okay! Okay! It's on!"
The teenagers began watching it but they were immediately disappointed.
"Wow.. that could've been better"
"She went for the Buffy emo boy?! When there is a perfectly good scientist right there!!" Aubrey shouted, completely upset.
"Aww!!"
"I'm upset" Leah said with a straight face which made the others laugh.
"Really?"
"I don't know what you want me to say! It was a crappy ending"
"Mm hmm, but what we do know is that we can't tell Ray, we watched it without her"
"She would say something crazy and kill all of us"
"Yup"
Everyone froze as they looked down and saw Ray was calling Leah.
"Sh**!"
"Oh no!!"
"Just lie!"
"I can't lie!" Leah put the phone on her ear as she answered, "Hello?"
"Hey princess, what are you dorks doing?"
"Nothing! Just in the living room, not watching tv!!"
"Oh? Then what are you all watching? You better not be watching the final without me!"
"Of course not, even if we did it would be anti-climatic!"
"Sure"
"How's dinner?"
"Boring, I can't wait until Uncle Casey's girlfriend shows up"
"Ooh"
"Well, I gotta get going, catch ya chumps later"
"See ya!"
"Peace" Ray hung up as she sat down at the dining room table.
"Excited to meet your uncle's girlfriend?"
"Meh, I'm betting to see how long she'll stay"
"Ray.. how long and how much?"
"I'm betting 2 weeks and 500 bucks"
"Ray!"
"What?"
"2 weeks and 500 bucks? Really?"
"Have you met you, Unc?"
".. fair"
The hotheads sat at the table as Casey stood up to open the door.
"Hi Lulu"
"Hey Casey, I brought gifts"
"Aww, you shouldn't have.. come in!"
Luna walked inside as Casey began showing her off to Slash and Raph.
"Luna, these are my two best friends, Raph and Slash"
"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you" Luna placed her hand out.
"Hello Luna, it's nice to meet you"
Slash shook her hand, "Nice to meet ya, Miss.Luna"
"What about us, uncle!"
"I'm coming, Haley! Ray! This is Luna" Casey nudged Luna towards the girls.
"Ooh, she's pretty"
"Nice to meet ya, Luna" Haley shook her hand, "I'm Haley, Raph's wife and this is my daughter, Ray"
"Hello"
"Sup, so are you gonna have his kid-!"
"Ray!!"
"What?! I was just askin..." Ray rubbed her head as she got a message from Rockwell, "... Huh?"
"Raydiant! We need your help!"
"... I gotta go" Ray grabbed her sai's from under the bed and opened the window, "Need some air"
"You okay Ray?"
"Yeah, just need some air" Ray climbed out of the window and took off her human disguise.
She then took off into the sewers, looking for Dr. Rockwell, when she found him sitting next to Mondo Gecko, who was unconscious.
"Rockwell, Gecko!" She picked up Mondo and checked his pulse, she sighed in relief as she felt his heart beat, "What happened? Metal?"
"No, worse.."
"What the hell could possibly be worse than Metal?!"
"Alien, she was-!"
"What Alien?! I thought Alien's didn't exist!"
"Gems count as aliens, my dear Raydiant"
"So it was a gem?"
"No, she was 7ft tall, tentacles on her head, she had scales around her body, she looked like a octopus slightly"
"Now what kinda..?"
"I'm afraid it is not safe for you, Raydiant"
"Not safe my a$$! Somebody beats up my idiot cousin that isn't me, they're getting beat up! You two go get healed at the lair"
"Raydiant, be careful! Your father went on without a team almost ended up killed"
"Well, like father, like daughter!"
"Raydiant!" Rockwell shouted, holding onto Mondo as Ray walked away.
"Go to the lair and get checked out!"
"I don't like this.."
A few minutes later
Ray looked around the sewers, "Hmm..."
She then notices a giant tentacle print on the ground.
"The hell... This for sure ain't one of ours"
Ray continued walking around the sewers, looking for any sign of that alien but to no avail.
"Maybe it was Nerdette's psychotic aunt..." Ray looked at the pool and there was a figure in the water, "Huh."
The figure slowly emerged out of the water and they were mumbling something that made little sense to her.
"Holy sh**..." Ray's ears went down as the figure looked down at her, with their gold glowy eyes.
"The beacon.. orders triangulate.."
"The beacon?! Are you high?!"
The figure looked at Ray and began to swing at her.
"Whoa! Watch it!!" Ray began dodging the figures' punches, "Chill the hell out!"
The figure continued swinging until they did hit her.
"Dah!!" Ray fell into the ground as the figure began stepping on her, "Get off of me!!"
"All explosions.. zero mission status"
"Get off..." Ray was slowly losing consciousness, "That's... an... order..."
"Order?"
"Yes... I order you!"
The figure got off Ray and started looking around.
"Hey, shh... Calm down, you okay?"
"What are your orders?"
"I order you to take a breath... Tell me your name, soldier."
"Name.. no name"
"Hmm... I like Narcissa, it's from a book that my dorky cousin reads"
"Narcissa?"
"Yeah, it's a woman from a book... I don't actually know what she represents but it's good enough"
"What are my orders?"
"Ah, um... I order you to tell me your mission, Narcissa."
"My mission.. destroy gems!!"
"Okay! Chill out, the stupid a$$ gems are gone!"
"Lies!"
"What do you mean-!"
As Ray started asking Narcissa what she meant, Narcissa began to walk away.
"Hey! Where are you going?!"
"Show you gems!!"
"Damn! Okay, show me!"
Meanwhile
"Sera, stop messing with the show!"
"I'm just trying to fix it!"
"You cannot fix the final" Aubrey said, as she looked on her computer.
"Yes I can!"
"Children!!" Rockwell shouted, running inside carrying Mondo on his back.
"Dr. Rockwell? What happened to you two?!"
"We were attacked in the sewers, Raydiant went after them"
"What's "them"?"
"An alien creature, It is filled with rage and confusion"
"Oh great"
"I cannot tell you where she went, where is Donatello?"
"Donnie went to run some errands"
"Oh no.."
"Why?"
"I need someone help to cure Mondo"
"Um.."
"Look, let's just go find Ray and Coral should be charging her gem in the dojo"
"Okay"
The teenagers left the lair and walked away, spotting Ray standing in front of a tunnel.
"Hothead! What are you doing?"
"Hey extras!"
"What did you do?"
"Nothing crazy, relax... Okay maybe I did do something"
"There it is, once again.. what did you do."
"Narcissa!!" Ray shouted, singing a tune as she did.
"Who?"
Narcissa stomped over to them and once she saw the other teens, she attempted to smash them.
"No, leave them alone, that is an order!"
That made Narcissa stop before she could land a hit on them and step backwards.
"What the hell is this?!"
"This is Narcissa"
"You mean Draco Malfoy's mother from Harry Potter?"
"Not exactly"
"That's her name, it means narcissist!"
"That's not what we're talking about.. know what! How about she just shows us! Narcissa, go get them!"
"Smash gems!" Narcissa yelled, as she began stomping her feet.
"Gems? Didn't we get rid of them.. months ago?"
"She can smell as well as a bloodhound, she's tracking them down"
"And you.. trust her?"
"I hate gems, she hates gems! It works out"
"And you both bond over a love of destruction and murder"
"Mus, where does the dark humor come from?"
"I'm around you guys on a daily"
"Uh! We're not that bad!"
"Liar"
They soon realized that Narcissa stopped and began coughing.
"What's wrong with her?"
"With her backwards talk, I'm getting that her people need nitrogen to breathe"
"She truly is from out of this world"
"Ray, this is dangerous! How do we know that she would hurt us?"
"She needs a leader, I'm leading plus! When I saw the chance to have an attack.. whatever she is, I took it! And it's turning out great-!"
"Found gems!" Narcissa yelled, stomping louder and faster, causing rocks to start falling and the ground broke from underneath them.
The teenagers screamed as they fell underground, once they finally hit the ground they looked up and saw gems working on large computers.
"You were saying"
"It is the filthy hybrids and a... Q-Quarren!!" The gems shouted in fear as they held onto each other as Narcissa walked in front of them.
"Whoa, Ray was right, the gems are back"
"Let's make sure they're gone for good!"
"Gladly!"
The team plus Narcissa began attacking the small group of gems, as Aubrey began hacking the computers.
What Aubrey didn't realize was that a cracked gem was still awake and attempted to attack her.
"Smash gems!!" Narcissa grabbed the cracked gem and tossed it outside.
"Oh! Thank you"
"Destroy... Find base."
"Okay, I'm looking!"
Aubrey was about to touch the computer when Narcissa smashed it into pieces.
"Great! We could've used that!"
Narcissa opened a secret compartment in the wall and inside was a mini portable projector.
"Ooh, what's that?"
"No touch!"
"Why not?"
Narcissa grabbed Sera's arm and started squeezing, "No... Touch."
"Ow! Let go! Let go!!"
"Let her go! That's an order."
Narcissa let go of Sera's arm, which made her fall to the floor as Aubrey looked at the mini projector.
"This will possibly lead us to the gems base"
"Perfect!"
Aubrey pressed the button which opened a black diamond shaped portal.
"Destroy Gems!!" The others heard Narcissa shout as she ran through the portal.
"Dah!!"
"Well, you all heard her!"
"Ray, you can't be serious"
"Try me!"
"You don't even know if she's even a good guy!"
"I hate gems, she hates gems, it'll work out! Now come on!"
The team looked at each other and sighed as they followed after the two hotheads.
As soon as they got to the other side of the portal, they realized they were near the Statue of Liberty.
"The Statue of Liberty?!" Sera shouted, in shock.
"The beacon must go!!"
"Why does she keep talking about a beacon?"
"To hell if I knew!"
"This can only go horribly wrong from here"
"Agreed"
"Would you two chill out! She's great! Now let's go beat some gems!"
"You are this bored, Ray?"
"Maybe, and?"
"Okay, how much are we gonna bet that Narcissa is more than what Ray believes she is?"
"I bet my lucky skateboard," Sera said, looking at Remus.
"I bet 50 bucks"
"Oh for crying out loud, if you're right Mus, you get free food from my job for a month."
"Deal!"
"Good, now come on!"
The team walked into the Statue of Liberty and spotted gems working on computers.
"Whoa, Narcissa was right about the gems"
"Told you so"
"The night isn't over yet"
"Ooh, what are they doing?" Sera asked, staring at a screen one of the gems were working on.
Aubrey stared at the computer and gasped at what she saw, "Oh no..."
"What is it Aubrey?"
"They are planning on invading again"
"Oh no"
"The portal gateway is on the torch, I can deactivate it if I get to the computer"
"Perfect! I have a plan and we need to be precise, we can't screw this u-!"
"Attack!!"
"Oh for f**k sakes!!"
"Free for all it is!"
Ray and Narcissa started fighting alongside each other which was secretly making the others jealous.
As Narcissa was destroying some gems, a Ruby gem threw a device at her, trapping her in a bubble.
"RELEASE ME!!"
"Hey! We gotta help her!"
"She can handle herself... RAY!!"
"Too late!"
Ray jumped onto the bubble and tied a rope around her waist, attaching it to the bubble and climbing their way to the top.
"Ray!!"
"Aubrey, how's the portal going!""
"Could be better!"
"Great!"
Aubrey began shutting down the portal when she felt a sharp pain in her head.
"Aubrey?"
"Oh no... Ray!!"
"Let's go!"
Ray and Narcissa made it to the storage compartment for the diamonds, as she popped the bubble Narcissa began looking through boxes.
"Whatcha looking for?"
Narcissa picked up a breathing mask and placed it on her face, "Finally"
"Ooh, you can finally breathe normally"
Narcissa opened another box and pulled out all of her weapons including a beacon that was the shape of a squid's head.
"Now it's time to go!"
Narcissa turned around slowly and pointed a gun at her, she then fired it, knocking Ray out as she landed on the floor.
She then started climbing up the Statue of Liberty, hoping to get a signal for the beacon.
"Ray? Ray!!" Leah shouted and Ray tried opening her eyes.
"Mm..?"
"What happened?"
"You guys were right.... Narcissa isn't a good guy"
"Hey, you saw someone that's just like you and didn't question it, it's okay"
Ray looked up at Remus who was trying to control his grin, "You little-!"
"You owe me food for a month!"
"Damn you!!"
"Child and Remus! We need to stop her!!"
"Right, she's heading to the torch!"
"Let's go then!!"
The team began climbing onto the torch, where they spotted Narcissa at the very top.
"Narcissa!"
"Look who it is..."
"Come on, why did you do that! We could've been friends!"
"Friends? The way you treat your family is enough for me to say no."
"What are you talking about?"
"Look at the way you treat them, they admire you but you dismiss them."
"No I don't!"
"Oh really? So you won't mind if my people came to visit them first before we destroy this disgusting world!"
"Wait, what?!"
"One thing we agree on is that gems are a disgusting race, they bring shame to all life forms in the galaxy"
"Right, and?"
"The whole universe will be better if they never existed" Narcissa pressed a button and the beacon began glowing.
"No!"
Narcissa was about to throw it when Ray lunged at her.
"You will not destroy my home!"
"You little-!"
"We made a good team! Come on!"
Narcissa held onto the railing and stared up at her, "... Long live the Quarren empire." She let go of the railing as Ray screamed her name.
"Ray.."
"The beacon!" Ray shouted, she used her powers to destroy it.
".. at least we stopped the gems and Narcissa signal"
"Yeah.. We did... Do you guys think I ignore y'all?"
"No"
"But she said-!"
"Since when do you listen to whatever other people say?"
"Never but-!"
"So why would you listen now?"
"I dunno"
"Ray, we know you have your own way of caring about us"
"Exactly hothead"
"Heh, y'all know I'm not a big cuddly panda bear"
"We know"
"Let's go home"
"Yeah, I gotta head back home for a family dinner"
"Ooh, how's that going?"
"Well, I asked them if they would have a kid and she didn't leave, so.. good!"
The team shuddered at the thought, "Uncle Casey as a dad? That's terrifying"
"I know! But out of all of us, who would get married or have a kid first!"
"Remus" The girls said, staring at him.
"Why me!"
"You're the only one who is marriage ready"
"You're the only one that has a stable enough relationship"
"You seem like you'd enjoy babies and children"
"And plus you and Nymph are basically a married couple"
"How do we act like a married couple!"
Remus immediately shut up when he saw the looks they gave him. ".. I mean you four aren't wrong" he mumbled.
"Exactly our point, come on"
