The Final Episode (TMNT 1987)

Along Came Krang

(Krang)

"Dregg, your are insane, even by supervillain standards!" I croaked out at the purple intruder in my Technodrome.

The charred metal of my robot arms giving off a metallic stench after he blasted them off. My tentacles tight on my controls, I tried to remain upright, but without my arms to counterweight, my precious mechanical suit wibbled and wobbled, trying to remain centered.

He wanted the power cell. He knew he couldn't break into our home with the whole gang in it and take it, so he had created a diversion on the surface. Planting some tantalizing piece of equipment and paying off someone to do a story about it. Knowing full well I'd send Shredder and the mutants up there to get it.

"Last chance slug." The so called lord wielded his blaster at me like some kind of a western gunslinger.

"I will not beg for mercy." I croaked again.

He was going to kill me anyways, it didn't matter.

I am Krang, conquer of worlds. I will not quiver before some bulbous warlord half my age.

He shot my legs our from under me, frying the circuits and rendering the suit useless.

I groaned in pain as my suit hit the floor with a thud, knocking me out and onto the cold hard floor of the Technodrome.

The air was knocked out of me I opened my eyes to find him walking towards me. Turning over, I used my tentacles to try and get away, but without a suit I was slower then a turtle.

The regular, non ninja kind of course.

"You've grown weak, oh mighty Krang." Was what I heard before a boot connected with my side and sent me flying.

I landed with a hard smack, groaning in pain. It's a good thing I don't have any bones, That definitely would have broken a couple if I did.

"Soft, you've grown pathetically attached to this miserable little rock." He said, continually kicking me around like a soccer ball.

So much pain...

"Well at least I'm still attached to my sanity, you overgrown blueberry!" I retorted, biting back another burping cry of pain.

"How can you even call yourself a conquerer? Your time on this planet has made you so pitiful! You claim to despise these weak humans, yet you chose to willingly ally yourself with that bumbling fool Shredder. You even live with him!"

He kicked me again.

My time here on earth has really made me despise being so small. Without my suit....

He stepped over me and pointed the blaster.

"No worries, your time is over now. First you, next the turtles, then finally this whole forsaken planet!"

With a high pitched buzz the blaster fired.

The memory of my last few minutes flashed across my eyes as my body began to heal itself.

"So you do have a heart?" My final words rang in my brain as I remembered a sight I'd never thought if see.

Shredder, my neurotic, and often annoying, ninja partner was crying. He was crying!

Over me..... I'd never even thought it possible. But, if this was death, strangely that image had brought me joy upon my passing.

Somebody had cared that I died. Millions of lifeforms have often wished me dead. None, not one of them had ever wished.... Otherwise.

"Shredder..." I croaked quietly eyes starting to open but my vision a grey blur.

"I'm here Krang." His familiar voice called out with excitement.

My vision started to clear and I saw the silhouette of his shiny helmet clad head.

"Your not (burp) crying again, are you?" I would have rolled my eyes, except I couldn't move them. In fact I couldn't move anything.

"Me? Cry?!? Don't be ridiculous Krang, I don't cry." His tone regained its usual arrogance.

My vision cleared and I could see again. But, was still immobilized.

"Liar..." I laughed, mind still a bit fuzzy.

Though he was wearing his mask, I could still see the arrogance being wiped from his face. Replaced with one I hardly ever see, pure sincerity.

"You died Krang, and it made experience ....emotions." He spoke the last word as if it disgusted him.

"You died, and I watched it happen!

8 years Krang, 8 years we've been partners, and I know I wanted to kill you most of the time... But when you died, I realized you were, unwillingly, the greatest, worst and only true friend I ever had! As much as I hate to admit it, I'm only human! You went and left me here, and it actually hurt!"

He swore at me like it was my fault.

"(Burp) I'm dead for a couple days and your whole world falls apart..." I laughed again. As much as it pained me to admit, it was good to see his stupid face.

He shot me a look that clearly stated, "shut up now."

I felt my motorization beginning to kick back in.

I was in a large glass box, it took me a bit to remember which one. I was in the suspended animation chamber.

Then it hit me, There was no way Shredder and those idiot mutants could have pulled this off by themselves.

If he called that mutanted moron Baxter Stockman...

"Help me up." I ordered.

Gently he lifted me upright.

If I had a jaw, it would have how the floor.

4 green faces were peaking in from the outside of the glass.

The one called Donatello, the smart one, was holding some sort of remote and standing in the open doorway.

"Never thought I'd say this, but it's good to see you again Krang." He smiled.

"Shredder!" I yelled, my voice high pitched in anger, came out in a squeak.

Why are these cretins and that bloody reporter in our home?!? I think I'd rather be dead!

"You have got some serious explaining to do!"

I listened, tentacles crossed as he told me the whole scheme. Near the end, my anger subsided. Though stupid, it wasn't a bad plan, and we could always kill the turtles afterwards.

Shredder lifted me into my tripod, my smaller 3 legged robotical mode of transportation.

"Ok, you can let Bebop and Rocksteady in now." Saki announced.

Donatello pushed a button on the controls desk and the side entrance to the lad slid open.

In crashed a giant warthog and rhino, nearly tripping over them selves to rush to my side.

Rocksteady scooped me up and into a crushing hug.

"Boss!" He cried out in happiness.

I croaked in surprise, unable to speak.

Bebop pulled me away from him and into his own hug.

"We missed ya so much boss!"

I was being crushed by a mass of course tan fur, I looked over at shredder and he was clutching his stomach in laughter.

"Put me down you morons!"
