Equestria Turtles

Chapter 9

Leo paced in the lab, chewing on his nails- a habit he had picked up quickly in his human body. Donnie watched from where he was sitting beside Raph. Raph had woken up but didn't want to sit up, since his head was pounding. Donnie held an ice pack to Raph's forehead.

"Leo, what are we gonna do?"

"I... We have to get him back. Who knows what they'll do to him if we let them keep him there."

"Do you have a plan?"

"No. I don't. I'm too overwhelmed. I just want Mikey back. That would be a good place to stop. Just to have Mikey back, and then we can hold out until we come up with a good plan."

"Then we gotta get Mikey back." Raph sat up finally, ignoring the pain in his muscles.

"Leo, you got some students to work on an attack plan, right?" Donnie looked at the elder.

"Uh, yeah."

"We can alter it a bit to change it into a rescue mission."

"But do we have the ability to?" Leo wrung his hands.

"That doesn't matter. If we wait until we're ready, we'll never get to it." Donnie stated.

Sunset stood up. "I'm coming with you."

They looked at her in surprise. "But what if-"

"If something happens to me, at least I went down fighting. Right?" She smiled a bit weakly.

Leo nodded, admiring her bravery, before looking at Donnie. "They're next door."

He nodded. Donnie, Raph, Leo and Sunset walked over into the room with Rainbow, Vinyl and Snowflake to discuss an attack plan.

Mikey lay on the floor of the Kraang base, staring at the wall. He was so *bored*. He pulled on the shackles around his wrists just to hear them clank. Kraang Subprime looked at him in annoyance and ordered him to stop making noise. Mikey rolled his eyes but did so, watching him tiredly.

His eyelids started to droop close when there was an explosion behind him. He sat up to see Leo and Donnie standing in a hole blown in the side, weapons poised. Raph and Sunset stood behind them. Kraang Subprime roared in annoyance and mentally ordered a bunch of bad guys to go after them

As Mikey listened to the psychic connection, he realized he could tell what they were being told to do. When one got close to Leo, Mikey yelled "Leo, roll to the left!"

Leo glanced at him like he was crazy but at the last second dove to the left. He missed a laser shooting at him. Sunset ducked when it flew towards her head and ran over to Mikey with a blowtorch.

"Mikey, how did you know to do that?" She whispered as she started melting the chains.
"I don't know. I'm on the same psychic frequency as the Kraang or something, so I can hear their communications."

The shackles clanked as they fell to the floor and Mikey flipped over to the corner where his nunchucks were. Grabbing them, he leapt into the air and wrapped it around the arm of a droid about to attack Raph. He yanked it back and the arm broke off, going across the room. Kraang Subprime roared in annoyance and told everyone to go for the orange masked turtle. Mikey gulped and quickly landed next to the hole in the wall, backing away.

"Mikey where are you going?! We need your help!" Raph yelled. The droid in front of him started coming towards Mikey, who fell out of the hole in the base.

"Mikey!" Sunset yelled as it pointed its blaster at Mikey, who scrambled to try and find a way out. She lunged at the droid and tackled it to the ground, sparks coming out of it as it skidded on the pavement. Her book flew out of her jacket and landed on the sidewalk.

Mikey lunged to grab it but was shot in the shoulder. He screamed in pain as the laser burned his skin and he curled up, gripping it tightly.

Raph and Leo grabbed him under his arms and pulled him away from the fray. Donnie helped Sunset to her feet and she looked forlornly at her book as it was picked up by the droid.

Mikey and Sunset exchanged fretful glances as they were led into the school through the back entrance.
