Our Little Sister

Chapter 18

Leonardo P.O.V.

We ran over to the coordinates as fast as we could. We jumped onto the rooftop where Venus was. She jumped at the sudden action, but quickly calmed when she saw that it was us.

"What's Venus doing here?" Donatello asked.

"She's leading the way." I said calmly, scanning the area.

"Wait, what?!"

"Aw, yeah! Vee's first mission! Up top." He and Venus high-fived.

"Shh." I quietly crouched down. The others followed my lead as soon as some Kraang walked out of a building.

Venus pointed at the door. "I assume that's how we get in?" I asked. She nodded in reply and quickly but quietly slid down the ladder into the alley. Mikey followed.

"Might I ask again. Why are we following Venus and not Splinter? Or you?"

"Because, I'd like to see what she is capable of, it's a good start for her. Also," I added. "She's the only one who knows where we're going."

Donnie stared at me for a long minute before I slid down the ladder. He quickly followed soon after though.

We slid down as Mikey took out the two Kraang walking by. Don looked around and made sure it was clear before Venus ran out of the alley.

She walked over to the door. There was a padlock on it that Donnie quickly unlocked.

We all walked into the building. It looked like an ordinary storage unit from the outside, but somewhere inside was a secret underground base.

We carefully walked inside, looking where it might be at. Suddenly, to my right a Kraang stepped out of an elevator.

Me and Don looked at each other and nodded. I quietly swooped down and took down the bot in one swing of my sword. The others quickly snuck down.

We all got into the elevator as Donnie fiddled with the control panel. We started going down. Mikey didn't help with the ninja part as he jumped a little. "So, Vee, are you excited?"

She nodded and signed, "Very excited!"

"Guys," Donatello turned around. "I'm trying to focus, please be-"

The elevator stopped, and it wasn't on our floor. We quickly went into ninja mode again and opened the hatch on top of the machine and climbed through it before some Kraang in disguise came inside.

We were still going down though, so that was a good thing. Well, I thought so, until the control panel fell off from its hinge and Donatello smacked himself and whispered. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!"

As the Kraang leaned over to get a better look at it, I jumped back down and sliced the robots in half. Mikey came down and took care of the blobs inside.

The elevator stopped at the last level. There was nobody at the door and was very quiet, so I peeked around the corner to see. Again, it was all clear.

"Be careful." I warned them as they stepped out of the elevator. "It's most likely a trap."

They all nodded and we followed Venus once more. We went down a lot of hallways and doors, left and rights, for about thirty minutes. There were still no Kraang, so either it was definitely a trap or they found something else interesting and left earth. I choose the trap part.

We finally stopped at a corner for a moment. Venus closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, rubbing her temple.

"You okay, Vee?" Mikey asked. She nodded and sighed, opening her eyes again and stepped around the corner.

We walked to the end of the hallway to the doors at the very end. She looked at me and nodded, signing, "Here, Raphael."

I cracked the door and looked inside the best I could. I didn't see any Kraang, I opened the door more. Raphael was strapped onto a table.

I checked one more time before running in. "Raph. It's going to be okay." He groaned in response.

Donatello pushed some buttons on the control panel and the straps disappeared. I caught Raphael and put him on my back.

"Guys," Mikey spoke up. "Why are there no Kraang? Like, anywhere?"

Shell. I looked around wearily once more. "I-I don't know. Keep a lookout though, just in case."

We quickly left the room and followed Venus down multiple hallways again and doorways once more.

Raph stirred a bit. "Leo.."

"Yeah, it's me." I answered. "Just get some rest, we'll be out of here soon. Alright?"

"M'kay.. Just, don't-"

"Rest." I told him.

He laid his head back down on my shoulder and mumbled something I couldn't make out, but fell asleep almost instantly.

Soon after, Venus stopped again, rubbing her temples like before.

"Vee, if you like you don't have to get us out of here." Don said. "I can get out my tracker so you could take a break."

She waved her hand as if to say that she was fine, but held up her finger to give her a minute. This set me off a little.

No Kraang were around, Venus wasn't feeling well, and Raphael was knocked out. All the while we were somewhere underground in a Kraang facility, miles under New York.

Venus breathed in and out sharply before walking again. We walked down the hallway and took a left.

"Um, didn't we go right last time?" Donatello asked. Venus just kept walking. We all have each other a nervous glance. The pit of my stomach was telling me that something was wrong.

We all followed though, cause we didn't know where to go since every hallway you went down looked the same. She walked down to the end and stopped at another door. Vee didn't stop to look inside, she just walked right in.

"Venus!" Mikey ran after her. Donnie ran after him, and I ran after both of them the best I could while carrying Raph.

When I got inside, there was nobody in there except for us. It was just a huge empty room.

The door shut behind me. Donatello and Michelangelo already had their weapons drawn out.

Venus grabbed her head and leaned against the wall, hissing in pain.

"I should've believed Raph when he said that she would betray us." Don said.

"Wait, he said what?!" Mikey yelled at him.

Venus looked up at us and the room confused. Suddenly, doors opened from all around the room and Kraang started shooting at us.

Yay, chapter!

I hoped you guys enjoyed this and I'll try my best to post next week.

Have a good day!
