Sequel to The Scorpion, the Kunoichi and the Kabuto Liz Gordon Donnie sat in his lab fiddling with the Skrull computer Kitkat had given him. After he had seen her and Raph exit his room practically hand in hand the jealousy he felt towards them had soured his mood a great deal. No one else had seemed to notice though; neither his change in mood nor the way Kitkat and Raph were now acting towards each other. He had continued to celebrate with the team for almost another hour while pretending like nothing was wrong, but that was all he could bare before retiring to his lab for the evening. It wasn’t long after that when their friends decided to head home, given how late the night was getting. An hour later Donnie had already taken the tablet-like computer apart, meticulously mapping out its construction and leaving various pieces of it strewn across the table. The power source attracted his attention first due to its glowing nature, and he was currently examining it with a pair of
Sequel to The Scorpion, the Kunoichi and the Kabuto Confession Raph sat at his drum set lazily beating out a quiet tune. He had decided to sneak away during the commotion the souvenirs brought, too embarrassed by how he had acted around Kitkat to face any of them. He imagined them laughing at his lovestruck delusions, just as they did with Donnie and his feelings for April. He took a pause from his drums and twirled the sticks around between his fingers like he did with his sai. He stopped almost immediately to let out a heavy sigh, shifting the sticks to one hand so he could free the other to rub his forehead. Hunched over his drums feeling sorry for himself really wasn’t how he wanted to spend the first moments back in his body. All the times he tried to shake away his feelings, lying to himself about how he truly felt, only succeeded in making him feel miserable. Now was no different. His thoughts were interrupted by a light knocking. He looked up to see Kitkat peeking into
Sequel to The Scorpion, the Kunoichi and the Kabuto Souvenirs and Celebrations Spirits quickly picked up once they got back to the lair, resuming the celebration of their victory. Cheers were heard once again as they came through the turnstiles and flopped onto the couch. Master Splinter was drawn by the noise and came out to greet them, starting with Raphael. “It’s good to have you home, my son.” Master Splinter told him while placing a hand on his shoulder. A glimmer of relief twinkled in his eyes as a small smile creased his face. “It’s good to be home, Sensei.” Raph replied, returning his smile. Master Splinter pulled his son into a warm hug before he left the children to celebrate amongst themselves. Casey was already draped over the couch, flicking on the TV to continue watching Super Robo Mecha Force Five. He was quickly joined by the others. As Kitkat took a seat, Casey sat up to eye her expectantly. He spoke up once he caught her attention, “Don’t think I forgot
Sequel to The Scorpion, the Kunoichi and the Kabuto My Body Is Your Body Donnie was still struggling to decipher the control panel, his eyes darting back and forth from several screens and various symbols. He had a hand firmly planted on his chin as his mind raced. He began speaking to himself, unaware that he was being listened to. “One of these things has gotta activate the targeting matrix.” He raised his hand, ready to try a button. He was interrupted when Krispie, back in human form, ran up beside him and smacked one of the touch-screen buttons. “This one?” he sarcastically asked, fleeing quickly before Donnie could shoo him away angrily. Donnie took a step towards him, ready to scold him for recklessly button smashing. Mikey slid over to the screen on Donnie’s other side, catching onto Krispie’s game. “Or maybe this one?” Donnie shot his head around to see his brother wildly pushing buttons, causing his heart to jump. He side-stepped quickly, shoving his shoulder into
Sequel to The Scorpion, the Kunoichi and the Kabuto All Together Now Raph rounded a corner to the sight of his brothers and friends being surrounded by blaster-wielding Kraang-droids. They were looking ready to put up a fight, determined not to be captured. A Kraang at the front of the pack was just finishing his threat of destruction, allotting Raph the perfect moment to intervene. “Stop! Do not destroy the ones who are Turtles.” Raph spoke slowly, mimicking the Kraang’s robotic mannerisms, while waving his hand to get their attention. He was incredibly thankful that his robot shell was incapable of showing any nervous ticks that could give away his ruse. The Kraang turned to face him with what would have been confused stares if they were capable of expressing such emotion. The turtles and their friends grew suspicious also, not sure what to make of this interruption. “Kraang must destroy the Turtles.” the leader spoke again. Raph stumbled to the front to address him up
Sequel to the Scorpion, the Kunoichi and the Kabuto Rescue Mission Donnie docked the turtle-sub successfully and, miraculously, without detection. But still everyone remained silent, fearing that the alarms would come if they made any sound. They were thankfully proven wrong after several minutes passed and no commotion erupted from outside. Leo turned to the others with a finger raised in front of his lips, signaling to keep voices low. He spoke in a whisper, “We need to make a plan of action, but above all, we need to stick together.” He faced his purple-banded brother, opening his mouth to give specific instruction before snapping it closed immediately and scanning the sub with wide eyes. “Where’s Kitkat?” he asked sharply, eyes still flickering around his friends. They followed his lead in looking around for their missing member, but sure enough the turtle-sub was down one passenger. Leo rubbed his face in frustration, letting a dramatic sigh escape his lips. Krispie
Sequel to The Scorpion, the Kunoichi and the Kabuto The Sub and the Sea Monster Donnie had to prepare the Turtle Sub before they were able to take off, which gave Krispie just enough time to get there. The team was already beginning to board as he leapt over the turnstiles. The space inside became cramped rather quickly, as the sub was originally designed to only seat six, but it was something that the team was going to have to deal with. Donnie took the driving seat, the only part of the sub that wouldn’t be over-crowded with passengers, leaving the rest of the team to fight for space behind him. Leo chose April and Casey to power the sub with him on the reimagined work-out equipment, Mikey guarded Raph’s Kraang-occupied body in the back, and the twins were left to stand in the limited space between Donnie and the peddling trio. “How'd you ever talk me into getting into this leaky death trap?” Casey groaned. “Hey!” Donnie snapped, ready to defend his creation. “The Turtle Sub
Sequel to The Scorpion, the Kunoichi and the Kabuto Enemy Territory Raph walked down the halls of the Technodrome, his robot body still glitching from lack of control. He was panicking about how to get out of this situation, how to contact his brothers, and being surrounded by the enemy was not helping his nerves; especially since he could be discovered at any moment. And just as that thought crossed his mind, Raph could see the approaching shadows of some Kraang from around the corner. Thinking quickly, but not very brightly, he slammed himself against the wall face first and tried to look invisible. He was so nervous that he would be sweating if his current body allowed it. The Kraang began to pass, but one Norman bot unfortunately stopped to stare at Raph’s strange behavior. Raph sighed, preparing himself for the following conversation. He turned around and addressed the Norman bot. “So, um, Kraang who are Kraang, can you, um, like, tell me how to get to the nearest, um
Sequel to The Scorpion, the kunoichi and the Kabuto Switched Casey sat alone in the living room of the turtle’s lair while watching Super Robo Mecha Force Five and polishing off a slice of pizza. He sat lazily on the couch and was nearly sinking into the cushions; his outstretched, crossed legs serving as a tripping hazard. “This show's cool, but where are the subtitles? I hate dubbed anime.” Casey commented, putting particular emphasis on ‘hate’. He took another large bite of his pizza slice as April and Master Splinter entered the room. “Every day your skills improve, April,” Master Splinter told the blooming Kunoichi, and placed a proud hand on her shoulder, “but you must remain patient.” “I could practice all day, Sensei.” she reassured him. They smiled and bowed to each other before parting ways. But as soon as the ninja Master’s back was turned April’s posture dropped and she held her arm, moaning in discomfort. She headed towards Casey and the couch, slightly limping as
