Turtles' Big Sister

The Outlaw Armaggon!

"Select that quadrant, Raph," Leo instructed. "Scan there."

Raph pressed a button on the screen in front of him, looking back at where April, Casey, Mikey, Donnie, Astra, Nyx and Lucian were.

"Why do they get to mess around? They should be helping us find the Triceratons," Raph complained.

"Fugitoid is testing out April's psychic abilities," Max responded as zey typed into one of the consoles beside the hothead. "He's training her."

Pepper looked back at the others, listening to their conversation.

"Okay, April, in which of the spheres have I placed your tessen?" Fugitoid asked, holding his arms out to the spheres.

April looked over the spheres and smiled. She pointed to the one on her left. "That one."

"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! Excellent." The robot made the spheres vanish and the tessen fell into the red-head's hands. "Fantastic session. Your psychic abilities are marvels waiting to be unlocked!"

April smiled. "Thanks, Professor. How did you learn so much about the human brain?"

"Since it's the only part of my original body I have left, I have done extensive research on brain matter," Fugitoid responded. "Neurophysiology."

"You never fully explained how you became a cyborg, dude," Casey pointed out.

"Well, then allow me to enlighten you," Fugitoid began. "I am from D'Hoonib, a planet of humanoid scientists obsessed with penetrating the highest truths of the universe. I was working on a new form of psionic technology when our friends, the Triceratons, came looking for me. The Triceratons attacked because I refused to build them weapons. They were furious, destroying everything in sight. My robot assistant placed my brain inside its own robot body. It saved my life. Man merged with machine, and I was reborn." His head plates opened, showing his brain. "When the Triceratons found out I was still alive, they deemed me a criminal; a Fugitive Android."

"Ooh." Mikey poked Fugitoid's brain, laughing. "Spongy."

"Mikey!" Raph scolded. "If you had a brain, would you want somebody poking it?"

Mikey poked the brain again and Raph growled.

Fugitoid laughed. "It's quite alright. It tickles." He laughed, moving away when Mikey went to poke his brain again. "Ooh, don't." His head plates closed, putting the brain back into his head. "But I do have a great fear of losing my humanness." He looked at his hands. "I don't want to be thought of as just a machine."

Hunter placed his hand in the robot's palm. "We'd never think of you as just a robot, Professor."

Something crashed into the ship, making everyone lose their balance.

"What the heck is going on, Fugitoid?" Lucian asked, everyone quickly running to see what was on the screen.

Fugitoid jumped to the main console, typing into it. "Something's attacking our ship!"

"You needed a control panel to tell you that?" Nyx snapped back.

"Donnie, you see anything?" Samirah asked, both of them typing into one of the consoles.

"I can't pinpoint it, but something's out there," he responded.

Pictures began appearing on the screen. 

"What is it?" April asked.

"Was that a--a space shark?" Raph questioned.

"Space shark?" Casey repeated, laughing. "Wicked! That's, like, more metal than Vikings on motorcycles, bro!"
