12. The Turtle Tank!

___𖤐___

"What is this thing?"

A trumped Casey asked as the Turtle tank revved up.

Donnie chuckled as he stepped on the gas. "Hold on to your gluteus maximi!"

The Turtle tank drove (or stormed) through the streets of New York. "The Turtle Tank, Baby!" Mikey exclaimed.

Donnie sat in the drivers seat with Mikey in passenger. Leo sat in Raphs chair with Heidi standing behind it, arms crossed and draped over the back. Casey stood in between Donnie and Mikey.

"It's cool, isn't it?" Heidi said to Casey as she came around from the back of Raphs chair and leant on the side of it.

"It's how we roll in the past- I mean.. the present- I mean- Eugh.. time travel is confusing" groaned the box turtle.

"They're on the move." Donnie said, pulling everyone back to focus. "According to the subcutaneous tracker I put on Raph-"

"Wait..." Leo cut in. "Does that mean you put Tracker on all of us?" He said, subconsciously pulling Heidi behind the chair, earning a confused look from the girl.

The team looked sceptically at Donnie, awaiting a response from the soft shell.

"Nooo? No... of course I did... n't"

Donnie avoided eye contact, then directed their attention away from the conversation and changed the subject back to the map.

"Based on the trajectory they're headed-"

"To the tallest building in the city..." Casey  finished.

"That's right, Metro tower." Donnie concluded.

"M-.. Heidi told me so many stories as a kid but I never thought..." Casey looked back at Heidi for a moment, remembering her stories. "And behold, from their perch atop New York City, the Krang ripped up the sky itself. What came out was Terror and what rained down upon us was worse than death."

Everyone's expression grew grim and shaken as they looked at Heidi who just shrugged.

"You told that to kids?!" Mikey exclaimed.

"Future me, apparently did!" Heidi shouted, the same scared tone.

"Man, the future is harsh..." Mikey slouched in his seat.

"Well I'm not gonna let that happen. We need to get into metro tower without being spotted? We'll take the subway tunnels." Leo affirmed.

"Subway tunnels don't offer much in the way of an escape if we need it. Are you sure about this?" Donnie asked his brother.

Mikey popped up from his seat and looked behind at Leo. "Yeah, maybe we should go-"

"Guys, we're doing it my way. Remember?" Leo spoke firmly.

Donnie and Mikey looked to Heidi and she had the same unsure look but she just sighed and nodded. They both turned back around and Donnie continued with his path.

Meanwhile in Metro tower, people were waiting for the elevator, working, and taking calls. Their attention was diverted to the lights when they began to flicker.

The room shook and a pink gooey substance started to seep through the elevator door. It burst through and spread throughout the room, a purple haze wafting through the floor.

The citizens heard a low chuckle and gasped as they saw who it had come from. Three, pink, alien, monsters. The Krang.

Around them, pink and purple goey tentacles, trapped multiple citizens. Their eyes displaying a soulless pink light.

"Prepare to site so we may bring forth the Technodrome!" Called out the leader.

"Yes, brother." Replied the Krang zombies.

The tiny Krang spread through the building, infecting everything and everyone in its path.
