Karai bolted out the Japanese shop, looking around for the orange haired teen. There was no way that she was gonna go back to her father to explain how she couldn't defeat a normal teenage girl with the company of an old man and hot soup. Karai spotted April running down the sidewalk as fast as she could, huffing and puffing. April quickly pulled out her phone and speed dialed Donnie, hoping that he would pick up. Meanwhile, the turtles and Vixen had snuck into the core of the mutation base, ready to complete their mission. "Okay, we have to be quiet." Leo whispered, grabbing hold of one of his katanas. "Do you have to say that every time? We're ninjas. We know how to be quiet." Donnie groaned, only for his phone to let off a loud ringtone. "Ooh, that is embarrassing." Mikey chuckled. Donnie's eyes visibly shrunk ,and Raph's and Leo's jaws hit the ground. The kraang bots turned to the 5 teens and started blasting at them. Vixen wasted no time and flipped off the platform and sliced a bot's arms off, soon kicking the head and stealing the blaster. "Ah, just like old times." She smirked.

"April, hi! It's not a great time!" Donnie answered as he flipped and dodged the hot pink lasers. "Donnie, Karai's after me!" April exclaimed. "What! Oof!" Donnie let out a groan of pain and Leo launched Donnie out the way of an incoming plasma beam. "Karai's after April. We gotta help her!" Donnie told Leo with wide eyes. "And who's gonna help us?" Leo shot back. The two split up as more lasers headed their way. "April, I'm sorry. We can't get there. But don't you worry. You just stay calm...AND RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" Donnie stressed. April put her phone away and looked behind her to see Karai right on her tail. April saw the pizza guy ahead and asked, "Is that pizza for O'Neil?" "No, it's for..." The guy looked at the delivery slip, and while he was distracted April hopped on the bike and drove off. "Hey! What are you doing?" The boy asked. "I'm sorry. I'll bring it back! I promise!" She vowed as she sped off into the distance. Karai skid to a stop next to the pizza boy and smirked.

It just so happened that Karai had parked her motorbike in the same alleyway. She hopped on and gave chase, almost running over the pizza guy. April stopped at a red light, glad that she seemed to lose the Footclan Princess, but soon heard a roaring engine. Karai used a taxi cab as a ramp and launched in the air. April screamed and ran the red light, almost causing a car accident. Karai's bike was much faster than the moped that April rode, so the black haired girl quickly caught up. Karai tried to grab April, in which she drove off the road and onto the sidewalk where civilians jumped out the way. Up ahead was a backing up truck and April had a moment of panic. Either she would stop and get caught or keep going and risk getting hit. April trusted her gut and kept going, zipping by the back of the trust just in time. Karai didn't make it and had to stop her bike before it crashed.

With the 5

"Donnie, focus! April can take care of herself." Leo screamed to his younger brother who was desperately trying to grab ahold of April. "Against Karai? Are you kidding? I've gotta help her!" Donnie shot back. "You're not gonna be much help if you get blasted in the head." Leo pointed out. Just as Leo said that, a strong beam almost blasted Donnie in the head. "Whoa! Good point." Donnie gulped as he put his phone down and grabbed his bo staff. Together, the 5 started taking down all the bots. Mikey jumped in front of two bots and swept them off their feet. "That's a twofer. Thank you, and thank you..." The bots he kicked down stood back up, but Raph jumped up from behind them all and stabbed them. "...and thank you." Mikey pointed to his older brother. "How many time have I told you? No celebrating until the fight it over!" Raph fumed, poking the smaller turtle of the forehead. Mikey smacked his hand away. "How many times have I told you, I assumed it was over?" Mikey spat back, poking Raph's plastron once.

Raph grabbed Mikey's finger and bent it the wrong way, making the orange clad turtle scream in pain. "Children, children, we have to go!" Donnie shouted. "Um, have you forgotten about a little something called completing the mission?" Leo reminded. "But April's in danger!" Donnie pleaded. "If we leave now, the kraang will poison everyone in New York, which, last time I checked, includes April." Raph explained. "Think, Donnie. How do we take this place out?" Leo said. "Well, uh, thee chemical is highly explosive." Donnie stated. "How do you know that?" Mikey asked. "Partly because it has a hydrocarbon on its outer ring, and partly because of that sign." Donnie pointed to an a sign that showed an explosion. Donnie gently took the blaster from Vixen and turned to the red clad turtle. 'Raph, do you think you can get this blaster open for me?" Donnie asked.

Raph whipped out his sais and spun then. "With pleasure." He smirked. "But before you do, be careful you don't-" Raph stabbed the gun. The blaster started beeping but soon stopped. "Oh, good. We're still alive." Donnie sighed in relief. Upon hearing this, Vixen smacked Raph upside the head, given that they all could have just died. "Now, I'll short out the power supply and leave it by the chemical tanks. It'll overheat, and the whole place will go boom!" Donnie explained. "All right! Victory dance!" Mikey smiled. "MIKEY!" His brothers yelled, breaking his happy mood. "Or maybe later." Mikey sighed. Donnie pressed the button. Leo and Raph made a basket out of their hands in which Donnie ran at them, making the two launch his to the chemical tank. Donnie ejected the blade and rammed the blaster into the tank's side. "There, in about 90 seconds, this place is gonna blow." Donnie informed, dialing April once more. "Alright, let's move!" Leo ordered. "April, what's your status?" Donnie asked as the line picked up. "Could be better!" She exclaimed.

"Okay, we're on our way. We'll be there soon." Donnie informed, right when their escape hatch opened on it's own. The creature they dealt with before shot out and started to attack the 5, who was clinging to each other and screaming. "Actually, there might be a slight delay." Donnie whimpered. The 4 turtles screamed as the creature threw it's head forward, trying to crush them. "Move!" Vixen yelled as she grabbed Mikey by the shoulders and jumped back, falling out of range. The other three followed and avoided the violent head bump. "You saved me." Mikey awed. "Yeah, isn't that the point of being a hero?" She scoffed as she took out her scythes and jumped into the creature's neck, slicing at the back of it. Leo, Donnie and Raph followed, but Raph didn't just away quick enough and the monster bit his mask tails, throwing his upwards so he could fall right into it's waiting mouth. Donnie sailed across the air, pushing his older brother out of danger's literal jaws. "Gotcha!"

Donnie looked back to the kraang blaster and saw that 3 of the 5 levels were already filled, meaning they were running out of time. "We're only got 30 seconds before that blaster explodes!" Donnie announced, right before the monster swung it's head at them, knocking Donnie onto Raph and launching Mikey onto the higher level of the ship. "Uh, guys, any ideas?" Leo asked before dodging the bite of the creature. "Well, let's see. We're cornered by an amphibious sea monster in an underwater based that about to blow up...I'm out." Donnie listed off. Mikey let out a battle cry as he swung his chain in the air, throwing the weapon to wrap around the sea creature's neck. He jumped on it's neck, riding it like a cowboy, making it slam it's head into the floor repeatedly. The boys cheered at this and Mikey continued with his plan, slamming the creature around.

The blaster went up another level and Mikey launched off the monster, falling onto the lever that closed the latch. The monster tried to slip out, but got trapped half way through. The 4 other quickly ran out the room. "Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-! That was fun!" Mikey cheered as he swung his chain around, tucking it into his belt. Mikey set up for a victory dance when Donnie yelled, "Mikey, that victory dance better not last more that 4 seconds!" Mikey quickly did his dance as he shuffled out the room, the door closing behind him. The 5 made dived into the water, quickly swimming away as the base blew up with black and purple-pink smoke. They hopped back into the T-sub, soaked. "Huh! That wasn't such a chore, now was it?" Raph smirked as he tried to knock the water out of his earholes. "Great! Now we can get back to Apr-" Donnie heard a roar and looked out the fogged window. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?" Donnie exclaimed as the monster swam straight for them. "Uh! Again? Can't we get a goddamn break? I'm hungry!" Vixen yelled.

Meanwhile, April was zooming down the streets of New York, glad that she was able to lose Karai for a while. But, unknown to her, Karai was running across rooftops, miraculously keeping up with the speeding vehicle. Karai threw a ninja star and it landed on the rearview mirror, making April gasp in fear and look up. April turned into a dead-end, Karai jumping onto a fire escape to quickly scale down to her. All the while, the ninja and girl was quickly pedaling, trying to escape the dimension X creature. "Donnie, can't you make this thing go faster?" Leo asked in desperation. "Oh course I can!" Donnie exclaimed, pressing a button. Two engine on the sides of the sub powered up, but quickly detached as flew off without them. The 5 looked out of the window in pure shock, watching their escape route leave them. "Wow, that is fast..." Mikey awed. "Pedal faster!" Donnie freaked, the other 4 returning to their bikes to pedal as fast as physically possible. "Feeling the burn!' Mikey chuckled. They were all huffing and puffing, trying to catch their breaths as they went.

The monster closed in and knocked the side of the sub, knocking Donnie into the wall. The creature grasped onto one side of the ship and panic started to sink in. It grabbed the other, and everything froze. The creature pushed it's head against the sub's front. "That's it! It's got us! We're gonna die!" Donnie screamed, bracing for death. But it never came. Instead, weird bellowing noises stated echoing through the water. Donnie lifted his head and turned back, seeing Leo was frozen in place. His blue eyes were dilated in pure shock. When Donnie saw what was happening, his eyes did the same. Mikey covered his mouth with his hand, Raph's face was scrunched up with disgust and Vixen's face was blank, not the neutral blank, the Ink sans blank. Undertale fans will understand. "Ugh!" Raph gagged as he turned to his teammates. "Oh, ick! Yuck!" Donnie added. "This is wrong on so many different levels!" Vixen shuttered. "Hey, we're not that kind of sub!" Mikey yelled defensively. Leo simply pulled a lever and two large flash bomb floated out. They exploded and the monster let go, letting thr turtles free. They swam off and the creature whimpered, saddened at the lost of their.....love?

Back with the two girls

The bike's back wheel spun to a stop, the clicking sound being the only one in the alley. Karai jumped down to see that the moped was left alone, no red head to be seen. She took off her helmet and smirked at the sound of light footsteps heading towards her. April let out a grunt as she tried to swing her helmet that the foot soldier's head. Karai dodged all of April's attacks, even when she threw the helmet, which harmlessly clattered against the wall and on the ground. "You've got guts. Let's see if I can pound that out of you." She chuckled, placing her helmet down. April pulled out her Tessen, warning Karai to back off. The sunlight went through the Hamato clan symbol, reflecting onto Karai. "A Tessen. Beautiful. Unassuming...but very powerful. In the right hands." Karai finished. April tried to attack Karai, but the black clad teen dodged all her attacks and flipped her over her shoulder. April groaned, realized her weapons was gone and stood back up to fist fight. Karai lifted up the metal fan and tossed it away.

April advanced, trying to punch Karai who simply laughed and dodged. April suprised her with a kick to the jaw. "Good one." Karai smirked. "Glad you enjoyed it." April scoffed. "Now, it's my turn." Karai added. She stepped into her stance and April narrowed her eyes, running toward the black haired girl. But Karai defended with a high kick to the redhead's chest making her fly back. Before April could recover, another kick was received followed by punches and more kicks. April was up against the wall, getting beaten to a pulse by Karai. She got a kick to the shoulder and slip to the floor, only to get back up and bite back a scream to fight once more. April threw a punch that Karai dodged. Karai grabbed her by the back of her shirt and spun her around, laying the poor girl on her knee. Karai slammed her elbow onto April's chest and rolled her to the ground. And even after all that, April still pushed herself back up. Karai kicked her back and she flew into broad daylight, laying on the hard concrete. Karai walked over as April sat up. "What makes you so special?" Karai asked as she pushed April down with a boot to the head.

"You're the center of an alien conspiracy, protected by mutants and trained by a great ninja master. Why?" As Karai was busy with her rant, April snuck up behind her and grabbed her by every girls weak point. The hair. "I don't know!" April screamed as Karai turned around and grabbed a fistful of orange. "I'm flunking trig. My friends are mutants. Aliens got my dad-" April spun Karai around, only for Karai to twist the two and pin April down by holding her hand between her knees and twisting her arm. "-And I lost my mother!" April finished. Karai went frozen at this, finding something the two had in common. "What? You lost your mother?" Karai asked, loosening her grip. 'The key is to imbalance your opponent' Splinter's voice echoed in her head. April got loose of Karai's grip, grabbed her collar and kicked her down the subway steps. Karai grunted with each landing, crashing into something metal. "Not bad for a nobody." April spat quietly. Karai walked back up the stairs to hear that April escaped, holding her chest. But, was the that pain from the fall or from the memories?

In the sewers
Water bubbled and splashed onto the titles as the T-sub resurfaced. Leo opened the latch, jumping out followed by Raph, Mikey, Donnie and Vixen. Donnie was on the phone, trying to get a hold of April. "Come on April! Come on April!" He chanted, holding she was okay. She picked up and immediately responded, making him grin. "Hey, Donnie!" She cheered. "April, you're okay! You hear that, guys? My sweet Princess is alive!" He celebrated. The others were ecstatic until they heard Donnie ask, "Did I mute that?" Nervously. Raph and Vixen harshly facepalmed, Leo slammed his head on the wall, and Mikey slammed his head on the floor. "Let's agree that you did." April giggled. "You got it." Donnie sighed. The 5 went to the lair where they waited for April to tell her story. "-and when her guard was down, I flipped her down the subway steps and bolted." She retold. "That is awesome!" Donnie praised. "You rock!" Mikey agree. "Kick butt!" Raph smiled. "Hell yeah!" Vixen shouted. "Impressive, April." Master Splinter chimed.

"You used your training well, and you fulfilled the most important goal of the ninja: To come home alive." Master Splinter shared. "Thank you, Sensei. Looks like I can handle myself after all." April sang. "Yes. And no." He answered, and all their faces went slack. "Huh?" April asked in confusion. "Karai may have failed this time, but if Shredder wants you, he will stop at nothing to find you. And with the Kraang after you as well, the wisest decision is for you to remain down here in the sewer with us." Master Splinter told. "What?" April exclaimed. "Oh that's great!" Donnie smiled, before seeing April's angry face. "I mean, oh, that's horrible. That, you know, your life as you know it is-" "I'm gonna stop you right there, okay?" Vixen said in a wickedly sweet voice, warning the purple masked turtle to shut his trap. "I can't stay down here. I mean, what about school? My friends, everything?" April sat on the floor and curled up in a ball. "April, master splinter is right. Until we stop Shredder and the kraang, this is the only place you're safe." Leo explained, making April sigh. "So once we stop them, I can have my life back?" She asked. "Yes." Leo answered. "Let's get started." April growled.
