Krang sees Casey coming towards him and faces Casey. Krang's tail flicks, cutting the ground near him upon Casey's arrival. Casey proceeds to try and use his grappling hooks to trip Krang while making sure to keep an eye on Krang. "A futile attempt. What do you think you can do, you weak insignificant Pest? You have no weapon and all you can do is dodge?" says Krang looking down at Casey. Krang then proceeds to try and stomp Casey as Krang looks towards Raph, Leo, and Splinter. Casey quickly dodges Krang's stomps using his grappling hook. As Casey dodges Krang's stomps he accidentally gets too close to Krang's tail. Casey quickly dodges Krang's tail but proceeds to trip on the broken ground. "Leo, stay here with dad." said Raph as he helps Leo sit up and gives Splinter to Leo. Raph secretly hands the Key to Leo as he sees Krang look toward them. "Wait What? Raph we need to get to the others we need a plan we can't just go in like normal. I tried that earlier today, I tried doing things on my own without a real plan and not listening to my team. Please give me some time let us regroup and think of a proper plan." said Leo as Raph carefully moves Splinter and Leo behind the debris. "Sorry, Leo... I don't think that's an option anymore." said Raphael as he puts Leo and Splinter down. "Get the others out of here." spoke Raph as he started to walk towards Krang. Leo's weapon remains lanced into the floor, a few paces away. Leo puts the Key in Splinter's pocket robe and tries to reach for his sword but he couldn't move much. "So you're done hiding now?" asks Krang as Krang stabs his tail down toward the floor. Casey quickly uses his grappling hooks and pulls himself out of the way of Krang's tail. Casey stood in front of Krang as he noticed Raph walking towards them. Casey looks towards the portal a bit of a way behind Krang. Casey then quickly uses his grappling hooks to go towards the portal while Krang is distracted by Raph. "Not so fast, little bug." said Krang as Krang used his tail to slice one of Casey's grappling hook cords. When Casey's grappling hook cord breaks, he quickly uses his second grappling hook and evades Krang's tail, but is forced to go to the right side of Krang. Casey lands fine on the right side as he tries to figure out a way to get to the portal without being killed by Krang. "We had a great thing going earlier. You know, I can let you live if you go back to before. When you were serving under my command." Krang's tail started to swish more towards the right as Krang lifted his hand towards Raph. "When I was serving under your command? Ha, what makes you think I won't break free of your control like last time?" said Raph as he pulls out his weapons. "That was just a fluke, a minor misstep. You won't be able to break free this time." said Krang confidently. "Are you sure about that? Why do you even want me under your command? You already have an army here." said Raph. "True, but I think some payment should be made. Your brother has caused me some very minor inconveniences to me and my siblings. So, I think it would be better to have you kill him." Krang steps forward towards Raph. "Yeah no, that ain't happening. I think it would be better for you to stay away from me, my family, and anyone else here. So why don't you go back to that dimension you were stuck in and we be done with all of this." said Raph as he grows into a bigger version of himself. "Should have taken up my offer." said Krang as Krang quickly moves his tail and attacks Casey. Krang then goes to attack Raph vanishing and then reappearing in front of Raph. Casey quickly dodges Krang's attack but Krang moves his tail and wraps his tail around Casey's leg before going after Raph. Raph quickly blocks Krang's attack getting pushed back and notices Casey was grabbed by Krang. Raph then goes to attack Krang and Krang blocks and grabs one of Raph's punches. "You know it would have been better to have you kill your brother But I think a different type of pain will fit him better. It would be more successful than having you as one of my warriors." said Krang as Krang's tail holding Casey moved and slams Casey hard onto the floor. Casey spits up blood as he gets slammed into the floor. Raph tries to punch Krang again with his free hand but Krang catches Raph's second punch. Leo barely grabs the edge of his sword with one hand as he quickly glances at Raph and Casey. "Come on just get over there... So I can help them." spoke Leo with a strain as he tried to pull his sword to him but barely moves it an inch. Casey gets slammed again into the floor causing blood to start dripping down his face. Everything started to become blurry for Casey as he spat out more blood. "Let Casey go." said Raph with a struggle as he starts to get pushed back by Krang's grip on him. "Or what? What can a pest like you do? You are at my mercy. My choice, My will. No matter what you try to do everything will end the same." said Krang as Donnie, Mikey, and April were holding Donnie's bo-staff into the floor as Mikey's chains wrapped around Donnie's bo-staff at the top. Donnie, Mikey, and April then made Mikey chains go shooting toward Casey. Krang lets go of Casey with his tail and move his tail to grab Raph but he sees through a reflection of a broken window that was in the debris of the destroyed building nearby Mikey chains heading towards the injured Casey. Krang quickly changed his tail Target and blocked the chains with his tail. Krang then slammed his foot down on Casey and with his tail pulled the chain towards himself. Donnie, April, and Mikey get pulled and thrown to the floor by Krang. "No! " yelled Raph as Krang pushed more weight on Raph forcing Raph to crush the ground beneath him and dip inward into the ground. "C-Casey..." said Mikey injured and on the floor as he tried to lift his hand towards Casey. Mikey's vision was blurry and shifted but he could see a large pool of blood surrounding Krang's foot where Casey once was. "G-Guys..." said April as she looks up at Krang. "No. No! No! No!" shouted Leo as he put Splinter down and forcefully pushed himself more to grab the grip of his weapon. Leo manages to grab the grip of the weapon and he tries to make a portal to the others. "Oh? Seems I've squished a pest and managed to find the three other pests hiding. Wonder how long it takes to get rid of them?" spoke Krang with a sneer as Krang lifted his tail and stabbed April through the chest. "April!" shouted Raph as Krang let go of one of Raphs hands and punches Raph to the floor. "A-April.... Mikey Move" cried out Donnie as Donnie quickly tries to grab his staff and pull the chain around Krang's tail. Krang tosses April's dead body away as he goes to try and stab Mikey but barely misses because of Donnie pulling the chain. "Donnie, Mikey get out of here now!" yelled Raph as he tries to kick Krang to get Krang away from his brothers as tears started to go down his face. Krang gets hit by Raph and gets kicked to the right but he doesn't move far. Krang getting hit forced Krang to slide and spread a smear of Casey's blood on the floor. Mikey, still in shock that April and Casey were gone doesn't hear Raph as tears were dripping down his face. Donnie lets go of his weapon as he starts to get pulled by Krang when Krang got hit. Donnie struggles to try and get up as his injuries started to bleed profusely. "M-Mikey... We need to move...." spoke Donnie painfully as tears were going down his face. Leo manages to make a portal and goes threw it. Leo portal appears above Krang. Leo then proceeds to try and stab Krang's armor from above. Raph sees Leo and quickly forces himself up with his free hand and goes to punch Krang in the face.Krang blocks Raph's attack but gets hit by Leos's Attack. "You little Pest! I should have killed you earlier once I was free of that reached Dimension." said Krang as Leo Cuts down but gets stuck in Krang's Armor. "You killed them....." said Leo with tears going down his face as he tried to take out his weapon from Krang's armor but couldn't. Donnie manages to get up and stagers over to Mikey. Donnie then struggles to get Mikey off the floor. Mikey looks at Donnie as he helps Donnie get himself off the floor. Mikey sees April's dead floor on the ground. "W-we c-can't leave h-her here... W-we can't...." said Mikey as tears streamed down his face. Donnie looks over toward April's dead body. "A-agreed... I think I saw where Raph hid L-Leo and Dad. L-lets go to d-dad b-but bring April with us." said Donnie as tears were dripping down his face. Mikey just nods. Donnie and Mikey stagger their way to April and help each other pick up April. Mikey and Donnie then started to head towards the debris line that was closer to them and where Splinter was. Krang's tail moves and the chains wrapped around his tail become undone. "Yes I did, you pest. I've told you before, your sacrifice was meaningless, but your failure of keeping me there made sure that you paid a price. I'm just getting started." spoke Krang as the hand he used to block Raph goes to grab Leo. Krang's tail wrapped around Raph's now free arm restraining Raph from helping Leo. "Leo! Go!" shouted Raph as he barely grabs Krang's free arm and tries to pull Krang away from Leo. Leo manages to make his weapon slide out a bit. "No! I'm not going to leave you to fight Krang!." said Leo struggling. "But Leo-" said Raph as he gets cut off by Krang punching Raph with the arm that Raph was trying to hold from grabbing Leo. "Raph! Let him Go!" shouted Leo as he struggles to try and pull out his sword from Krang still. Leo's sword pulls out a bit more. "Leo just Go!" shouted Raph as Krang punches Raph deeper into the ground. "I said I wasn't going to leav-" shouted Leo as Krang twisted Raph's arm with his tail breaking the arm Raph grew off. Krang then with his free hand grabs Raph from the inside of his giant form and slams Raph to the floor making Raphs giant form disappear. Krang with his other arm no longer restrained by Raph flicks Leo off himself. "Raph!" shouted Leo as he got thrown towards where Splinter was. Leo's sword fell to the floor nearby Raph as Leo got hit by Krang. Leo tumbles to the floor and hits the debris as Mikey and Donnie just put down April on the floor a bit away from the still unconscious Splinter. "Raph!" called out to Leo, blood seeping down his left arm. Leo's vision was blurry as he looked toward Krang and Raph. Krang just smiles as he notices Mikey, Donnie, and Leo all looking toward him and Raph. Using his tail, Krang grabs Leo's sword and just barely sees the top of Splinter's head. Krang proceeds to slam Raph down multiple times hard into the floor. Raph's shell slowly crackled with each impact, causing blood to spew out; the sheer force dispelling air nearby. Leo, Mikey, and Donnie all quickly try to get to Raph, but because of their injuries and poor vision from the tears, blood, and pain they felt, they collapse to the ground, unable to get closer. With one final slam to the floor left a pool of blood and Krang dropped Raphs lifeless maimed body to the floor. Krang just looks at the three brothers. "Should have stayed out of my business, pests." exclaimed Krang. Krang flicked his tail towards the boys, releasing Leo's sword. Leo's sword started to spin furiously towards them from the surmounting force of Krang's tail. Donnie quickly tries to protect Mikey, seeing the blade coming towards them. Leo struggles but manages to get in front of his brother, attempting to protect his remaining kinsmen. Leo's sword slams into the debris next to them, cutting straight through it as blood spills out of the debris. Mikey, Donnie, and Leo's gazes shifted toward the debris. What came next, left them in shock. "No...No... No... Dad! " shouted Leo, as he stops protecting his brothers and practically crawls to Splinter. "Dad! Dad! Dad! Donnie, can you do something? Can you help him?" asks Mikey as he struggles to go to Splinter. "I-...Dad....I can't...No... No... No..." said Donnie as he struggles but gets to splinter and sits on his knees. "Dad... I am so sorry... This is all my fault..." Donnie wept over Splinter's corpse, clasping both of his hands into a weak, but vague fist. "D-Donnie this isn't your fault... It's his..." said Leo as he looked up towards Krang. Mikey was just weeping as he felt like all this was his fault. Mikey felt that if he was just a bit faster or moved the portal a bit closer to Leo Krang would have never have gotten through the portal and his friends and family wouldn't be dead. The sword had pierced through Splinter's neck, severing his esophagus. Blood spilled down Splinter's neck and down crevices of nearby rubble. Using his speed, Krang appears behind the debris where Splinter was. Krang was still in front of the brothers. As Krang appears by them the debris, Splinter, Leo's sword and April go flying away. "I told you, you would pay..." Krang slams his foot down on Leo's back. "Leo! Let go of my brother! You will pay for what you have done!" shouts Mikey as Mikey attempts to punch Krang, but with no energy, simply collapses once more.." Leave my brothers alone! Mikey! Donnie! Run! Get out of here, now!" struggled Leo, gasping for air as blood spilled out of his mouth. "No... Everyone else is gone. I'm not leaving you both." spoke Donnie as Donnie tried to pry Krang's foot off Leo. "Gross, brotherly love. The thing that makes people weak." Krang spoke with a disgusted tone. Krang moved his tail, wrapping it around Donnie, and picked Donnie up. Mikey notices Donnie being picked up. Momentarily, Mikey struggles for a moment but manages to grab onto the base of Krang's tail. "Let go of my brothers!" Mikey murmured as he punched Krang's tail. Krang just scoffs. "Say goodbye to your brother's pests." said Krang as Krang flicked his tail and Donnie got crushed and blood spilled out of Donnie. Mikey from the flick of Krang's tail gets flicked away from his brothers and goes flying toward the portal. "Donnie!!!" shouts Mikey as he goes through the portal. Krang drops the lifeless mangled corpse of Donnie on the floor. "Whoops, guess I killed them both at the same time. What a pity. As much as leaving you alive would please me, I think it would be better to take you out so you don't mess anything else up. '' said Krang as he goes to stomp on Leo. A missile hits Krang from one of the tanks that were nearby and still alive and the portal that Mikey had opened closes. Mikey floated alone in this dimension he didn't know as he just weeps. Time passes unsure of how long but enough to where Mikey couldn't cry anymore and his stomach growled from starvation. Mikey hears a portal open but doesn't bother to look at it. The portal that opened was out of view and sounded small. Mikey hears the same portal closed as this bracelet just floats past his head. Mikey grabs the bracelet weakly and looks at the Bracelet. The bracelet was made of black silver and band that had a pattern of vines and had this bright purple gem in the middle of it that had this blue-looking claw mark metal design over the gem and a black and white dragon with a dark blue gem eye attached to the side of the gem. A buzzing ringing sound is heard in Mickey's ears as he stares at the gem. The noise gets louder and louder to the point where his ears start to bleed and his surroundings become blurry and then nothing but darkness. Mikey quickly sits up with a jolt on a couch in the lair. Mikey's breathing heavily as tears go down his face. Mikey looks around and sees him in the living room of the lair. Mikey just hugs himself and is shaking as he just tries to calm down. Leo was on another couch asleep with bandages around his arms from the fight with Krang but Leo was mostly ok. Casey was asleep in a sleeping bag on the floor and April was asleep on the one-seat couch. Splinter looks at Mikey as Splinter is sat down in his chair keeping an eye out for Leo and the others. "Orange are you alright?" Asks Splinter calmly. "I- Uh... You're ok... you're all ok...." spoke Mikey scaredly, still hugging himself. Splinter sighs and gets up and goes over to Mikey. "Another nightmare Michelangelo?" Asks Splinter calmly as he looks at Mikey. "Y-yeah... B-but it was d-different this t-time." Spoke Mikey scared. "Hmm, I see. May I sit down?" Asks Splinter. Mikey moves over a bit on the couch to let splinter sit as he continues to shake in fear.Splinter sits down on the couch next to Mikey. Splinter keeps an eye on the group and gently hugs Mikey. Mikey just hugs Splinter back and just cries. Mikey did have bandages around his arms. "W-where R-Raph a-and D-Donnie?" Asks Mikey scaredly hugging Splinter a bit closer. "Donatello and Raphael went back to our old home to try and find Sheldon again. Purple was going to try and go by himself but me and red disagreed so Red went with Purple. If they aren't back in two hours though I'm going to go get them." Said Splinter as he continues to hug Mikey still keeping an eye on the others. "O-oh... O-ok... that's good to hear there s-safe too..." said Mikey, calming down a bit more but still sounding a bit scared and shaking less. "Yup... Um if you want to talk about your nightmare you can and if you don't want to that's ok too." Said Splinter calmly. "I don't really want to... B-but all I will say is you were all gone... a-and Krang escaped that d-dimension and i-it was a-all m-my f-fault...." Spoke Mikey still a bit scared. "I see. Well, we are all still here and Krang isn't back. So you don't have to worry. That nightmare you had won't happen. Plus, we still have the key." Said Splinter calmly."T-True..." said Mikey, calming down more. Suddenly, Leo jolts upwards from where he currently lies, breathing in a panicked state. Mikey and Splinter look toward Leo. "L-Leo... Y-you ok?" Mikey inquires about Leo. "Y-yeah... J-just.... wait where are Raph and Donnie?" Leo pondered, a bit shaken up at first, then concerned upon noticing Raph and Donnie's absence. "Purple and Red went searching for Sheldon; they should be back in two hours." Said Splinter calmly. "B-By themselves? Dad, we should go check on them. Raph remains injured from his shell being cracked and Donnie is still healing..." While Leo's concern is justified, Splinter decides to continue reassuring them. "Leonardo lay back down now. I understand your concern, but Raphael knows not to push himself and Donatello knows not to accidentally harm himself. Besides, they both couldn't go back to sleep and if anything were to happen, they will call me if they ever want to go out again by themselves in the future." Spoke Splinter as he looks at Leo. "I- Ugh fine but if they aren't back in two hours I'm going after them." Said Leo as he just stops trying to get up and lays back down. Leo only agreed with splinter at the moment because he couldn't get himself up. "You will not be going after them in two hours. You are injured. I will go look for them later you will stay here and rest." Said Splinter. "Oh come on dad I've been here for who knows how long already." Complained Leo. "To be fair you did try and sacrifice yourself to save us all." Said Mikey back to his normal self now as he just continues to hug splinter. "Okay, yes I did, but come on! It was the best idea I could think of at the time. Plus, you saved me, little bro, sooo no harm no foul?" Said Leo somewhat confidently but not really. Mikey and Splinter just glare at Leo. Leo just sighs. "Fine, I'll stay while Dad goes to check on Raph and Donnie if they are not back within two hours. Once we are all healed up, we should at least go out to get pizza." Leo exclaimed in defeat. "Agreed. Hopefully, when we are all better, we can all have a pizza week." Said Mikey cheerfully as Mikey and Splinter stop glaring at Leo. "Yesss!! A whole pizza week sounds amazing right now especially after all that stuff happened." Said Leo. Mikey begins to drool at the thought of eating pizza for an entire week straight with his family again. A mysterious rodent, that has luscious black hair—observes all of them, quietly skulking in the darkness of the sewer, while eating a rotting slice of pizza. Raph and Donnie walk past the rodent and into the living room. Shelldon is not with them. "Oh Hey! You guys are up. How are you feeling?" Donnie wondered as he sat down on a mattress in the living room. "To be honest, my body is aching, but I am a lot better than before..." said Leo. "Well that's good, but seriously if you pull that stunt again I will be going after you." said Raph as he sat down on an empty couch spot. "Alright, Alright you made your point very clear. Many times. But hey that fight was out of this world and we definitely got better at fighting." said Leo. "Really Leo? I just woke up and the first thing I hear is you making a pun." April said groggily, as she looked at the boys and Splinter. "Awe, come on, April! You know I do puns to help me cope. Anyway, how are you feeling?" asks Leo looking at April. "I'm feeling... Alright, still a bit sore. Although I do hope they fix my home and that I can find Mayhem soon. Not trying to be rude, thank you guys for letting me stay here till my home gets fixed and I find Mayhem." said April calmly. "None taken." said Donnie calmly. "Mhh Huh? Why are you guys up? Is everything alright?" asks Casey groggily. "Yeah everything is ok I just couldn't sleep." said Mikey. "Same," said Raph, Donnie, and Leo. "They woke me up with all their talking but everything is ok." said April with a yawn. "Oh, um, sorry for waking you up, April." Mikey lowers his head a bit. "It's all good. But since we are all up, how is everyone handling living together? Also Casey, how are you handling adjusting to things?" asks April. "I'm doing okay, just a few nightmares still." said Mikey. "Doing better although I still suck at trying to win Tetris against Donnie" said Leo. "You weren't even able to beat me in Tetris when you were healthy." Donnie gloated. "Uhhh I'm pretty sure I beat you a few times before." said Leo. "Uh-huh. Pretty sure I have the count for the victories and losses in Tetris. Anyways I'm doing okay-ish. I still haven't been able to find all my tech since the Krang came here... I also haven't been able to find Shelldon but there have been traces that Shelldon escaped." said Donnie. "That's great to hear, Donnie." said Mikey cheerfully. "I'm doing ok. Still healing." said Raph calmly. "Um, well it's definitely something to get used to.Especially since there are so many things that are different. Um but I am starting to get the hang of a few things with your guys' help so thank you." said Casey. "No problem. Now, who's up to watch a movie since we are all up and some of us can't sleep." ask Splinter. "Heck yeah!" said everyone besides Splinter. "What movie are we watching Pops?" asks Raph. "How about a Lou Justiu Movie?" suggest Splinter. "Sounds Good I'll get the popcorn." said Mikey as he stopped hugging Splinter. "Can you get me some candy from the fridge?" asks Leo. "Candy? Ohhh you mean the chocolates?" asks Mikey as he gets up. "Yes." said Leo. "Sure." said Mikey as he started to walk towards the kitchen. "I'll help you." said Raph as he gets up and goes to help Mikey. "Don't forget the drinks." said Donnie. Splinter gets up and goes to get some Lou Justiu movies. After a bit, Mikey and Raph came back with drinks and snacks. Raph and Mikey sat down and passed out the snacks. Splinter came back to the group and showed the different movies they could choose from. After they agreed to one movie, Donnie gets up and takes the movie they all agreed on and puts it on. Donnie then went back and sat down at the same spot and they all watched the movie together. A medium-sized cardboard box sat on a bookshelf. In that box, it had the remains of Splinter's old bookshelf from the last lair. Inside the box, a bracelet was made of black silver and band that had a pattern of vines and had this bright purple gem in the middle of it that had this blue-looking claw mark metal design over the gem and a black and white dragon with a dark blue gem eye attached to the side of the gem. The bright purple gem then stopped its slight glow and turned into a dark purple gem.
