Equestria Turtles

Chapter 8

Back in Equestria, of Twilight's message books had started going off and she sat at the table, reading through Sunset's passage with a frown. Mikey paced through the library, thinking.

"Do you think we could do an outside attack?" He looked at her. "If they're covering the perimeter, maybe we can break through their ranks."

"I think they have too many people to do that. We might be able to get one person through..."

Mikey sat down on the ground, kneading the floor with his hooves nervously. "This is all my fault..."

"Hey. Nothing can be one person's fault." She walked over, wrapping an arm around his back. "We'll figure out a way to fix this, okay?"

He sighed. "I don't wanna put you in danger, though. If you got hurt..."

She frowned a bit. "How about this. We send you in armed to the tooth, and hope that you can make it through."

"And if I don't?"

"Then you'll go down a hero."

He smiled a bit and she smiled back. "Come on. I think I've got some stuff down in one of the other rooms."

He let out a breath and readjusted a breastplate over his chest before looking back at Twilight. She saluted him with her wing. "Good luck Mikey."

He nodded and looked back at the portal before running through it.

He came out the other side in front of a team of Kraang, who had seemingly been waiting for him. He let out a yell and kicked one, leaping up onto his shoulders and jumping onto the shadow. Another clone leapt off the top and wrapped its arms around his torso, pinning him to the ground. Mikey struggled under its robotic grip before a pressure point was attacked and he was knocked unconscious.

He woke up on the cold floor of a small portable lab. He scrambled to his feet but was pulled back down by heavy chains on his wrists. He looked around in panic and saw Kraang Subprime scuttling across a dashboard.

Stupid turtles, always getting in the way he heard faintly, and remembered back to the fight in the castle when he could hear the psychic connection.

"Hey!" He yelled.

Kraang Subprime looked at him and growled. God, does he have to be this loud?

"Yes! I'm trying to get your attention!"

The Kraang looked taken aback. How can you hear me?

"I don't know! Why don't you tell me?"

Well I don't know either. It's never happened before. He scuttled forward and squinted at Mikey, who tried to lunge out and grab him but was held back by the change. Kraang made a "tsk tsk" sound before going back to the dashboard. Stay still and I won't have to hurt you.

Mikey sat back on the floor and looked around the room. Most of what was scattered around was repair and upgrade parts for robots. He slouched on the floor and set his hands in his lap.

He heard a portal sound behind him and whipped around to see a biodroid coming through a pink triangle portal set in the wall.

He frowned and looked back at Kraang Subprime. "Hey."

What is it.

"Is that the portal back to New York?" He jerked his head behind him.

Yes.

Mikey looked back at it and frowned before there was a loud beeping through the building. Kraang pressed a button on the dashboard and a hologram appeared of Leo.

"Greetings, Kraang." Leo started. "We have a message to deliver- short and sweet. We are giving you two options. You can either retreat and leave the school alone, or we will have to eliminate you."

Kraang smirked. Is that so? Mikey heard on the psychic connection thingy. Kraang pushed a camera around so it was pointing at Mikey, who's eyes widened.

Leo blinked before narrowing his eyes. "What are you going to do to him."

Kraang just laughed and ended the call.
