Chapter 51 - Being Kidnapped by Aliens is Never Fun

Opening her eyes, Sky was blinded by the lights around. Oh, so she's still alive. A bit surprising.

Looking around they spotted Raph just to their right, trapped in Kraang goop.

"Look at it." Kraang sister's voice rang throughout the whole room, as she approached Raph and tilted his head with her tentacle to see him better. "Disgusting."

"Try lookin' in a mirror!" The turtle responded with a smirk. A bit of a faux pas.

"It's talking at me." Kraang #2 commented, unbothered by the insult. "I'm going to rip out its tongue." She smiled.

"Forgive my sister. She's got a bit of a temper." Ah, yes, the main antagonist of this movie showed up in the room and his siblings were already bowing to him. Not sure that's how sibling relationships should look like.

Raph got lowered to the floor by the sentient goop, into an almost kneeling position.

"You're... not human. What are you?" Kraang #1 asked, lifting Raph's head to take a better look at him.

"Let me go and I'll show you." Raph growled. Another bad idea.

Kraang #1 just scoffed and turned to Sky, making her panic a bit. She usually wasn't a part of this scene.

"And you?"

"Does it really matter? You'll find a way to make me your slave either way." She pointed out, making her captor smile with pride. Of course. Flattery works almost every time. Kraang #1 turned to see both of his prisoners.

"But, tell me. You're more powerful than the people of this planet, yet you defend them. Why?" It was a simple question.

"It's my duty." Sky felt like Raph's response wasn't the right one. It didn't capture the real reason.

Kraang #1 turned to Sky, clearly expecting a better one. "Humans are aggressively social creatures who easily connect to one another. He and his siblings are connected to other people by 'empathy'. And I like them a bit too much to let them fight alone." Sky hoped this was enough. Was it true? Absolutely.

They really hoped that Kraang #1 took the response for what it was trying to be. A sign that Sky's allegiance wasn't to all humans, but to the turtles and that she will be easier to pit against New Yorkers. She really hoped that this response would satisfy the Kraang.

Another smirk from Kraang #1.

He turned and started walking away, monologuing. "Good. This planet will soon be consumed by the Kraang. Our glorious crusade continues to restore the natural order of things. The strong will devour the weak."

Sky silently prayed to whatever god might hear that Raph isn't gonna try and trash talk the Kraang.

"Last I checked we weren't the ones locked in a prison dimension for a thousand years." Raph's voice cut through the air like an arrow and made Sky's heart almost stop.

How could he be so foolish? To be at someone's mercy and still poke fun at them? That's exactly what gets you thrown into the brig.

Kraang #1 would've snapped his neck, if he had any, with the speed he looked back at the turtle.

"Yeah, that's called trash talk." Raph smirked and Sky silently prayed she was not gonna be held accountable for that.

"A rare misstep." The ice cold spilling from those words made Sky shiver. She had to somehow fix it. Fix the Kraang's mood. Fix the situation she and Raph were currently in.

"Once I retrieve the key from your comrades, I will bring forth the mighty Technodrome, and you will witness the true power of the Kraang." Kraang #1 has stepped closer to the two prisoners. He was smiling, but smiling with disgust and confidence. It made Sky's stomach turn and twist in many unpleasant ways. She had to fix it.
