The Invasion: Part 1

                                    

                                          
Brooke's POV:
After Karai's mutation into a snake, she went off the grid. Now, Casey & Raph are looking through a specific part of town for her while the rest of us are huddled up in Donnie's lab to prepare for the inevitable alien invasion.
Mikey: "I'm so worried, I can't even eat!"
Splinter: "You have a right to be concerned. The Kraang invasion is imminent. What plans have you devised to stop it?"
Donnie: "I give you my latest invention, the Turtle Mech! It's fully armed with rockets, flamethrowers, and an electro-harpoon. Guaranteed to stop a massive Kraang invasion army, or your money back."
Mikey: "Giant robots are awesome! I vote Turtle Mech."
Leo: "But that thing's not even ready. It could damage New York more than help it!"
Donnie: "It's ready, enough."
Leo: "There's gotta be another way. We need to establish a second base outside the city."
Me: "I might have a place. April told me our family has an old farmhouse miles away from civilization. There's a convenience store down the road if we ever need to restock on supplies, and there's nothing but clear skies and woods for miles."
Leo: "Sounds like a plan."
Donnie: "Yeah, but for now, the Turtle Mech is stable. If I were leader, I-"
Leo: "But you're not leader, Donnie. Brooke & I are."
Splinter: "Enough! Your egos fight one another when we should be preparing to fight the Kraang."
Leo and I leave the room, Donnie following us to drag out his argument further.
Donnie: "Leo, the Turtle Mech is our only answer. Be reasonable."
Leo: "I am being reasonable."
Then, April rushes in with another girl.
April: "Guys! I'm sorry about this. But, Foot-bots were after us, and Irma here is really good at keeping secrets. Right, Irma?"
Suddenly, Irma starts twitching uncontrollably.
Me: "Uh, Irma, I know this seems a bit...odd. But, I can explain-"
Suddenly, Irma transforms to reveal that she's a Kraang-droid.
Kraang Subprime: "Lowly insects, kneel before the genius of Kraang Sub-Prime, greatest Kraang spy in all of Dimension X! The discovery of the lair was the final component needed to launch full scale invasion!"
Mikey: "April, you gotta pick your friends more carefully."
Then, a portal opens in the living room, allowing dozens of Kraang-droids into our formerly secret lair.
April: "This is so messed up! My best friend for the past year was a Kraang?"
Kraang Subprime: "Fooled you! Fooled you all! Destroy the Turtles! Wipe out the lair! But the rat comes with us."
Splinter is separated from us by the Irma-droid, while the rest of us take cover however and wherever we can.
Splinter: "Go! Escape! I will hold them off."
Leo: "We're not leaving you!"
Splinter: "I have a plan! Go now!"
Donnie: "Come on! Head for the Shellraiser!"
Suddenly, a missile is fired, rendering the Shellraiser useless.
Donnie: "My baby!"
Me: "Everyone, this way!"
I lead us deeper into the sewers.
April: "This is all my fault! I led them straight to the lair."
Mikey: "Don't blame yourself, April. You were just trying to help a friend."
Then, we come to a fork in the road.
Donnie: "Let's go left. That'll lead us to the Turtle Mech."
Leo: "No, we gotta find Raph & Casey first."
Donnie: "We can find them in the Mech!"
Leo: "It's too slow!"
Donnie: "You're the one who's too slow. You're leading us into disaster."
Leo: "I'm doing what Splinter would want us to do."
Suddenly, a group of Kraang-droids appears through another portal.
Me: "Donnie, you're in charge! Take the others, and go left. Leo & I will lead them away."
Mikey: "We can't leave you, too!"
Leo: "Just do it!"
Leo & I lead the droids down the tunnel on the right while the others go down the left one to find Raph & Casey. Mikey calls Leo on his T-Phone, while Raph calls me on mine.
Me: "Now's not a good time."
Raph: "Where are you guys?"
If I tell him the whole truth, he'll insist on coming down to fight. So, give him part of the truth, and hope for the best.
Me: "The team's headed for April's apartment. Meet them there. And, Raph, whatever happens, we did our best. Ok?"
Raph (Translation): "Yeah, ok. See you soon. Aishitemasu." (I love you.)
Me: "Watashi mo anata o aishiteimasu, Raphael. For better or worse?" (I love you too)
Raph: "For better or worse."
I end the call as Leo gives me a solemn look.
Me: "Look, if I told him where we are-"
Leo: "No, I get it. Whatever it takes to keep the team safe."
As a group of droids walks by, we leap up to hide in the sewer pipes above.
Kraang: "Hurry, Kraang. We must obtain the Turtles for the one called Shredder."
Leo & I: *whispered* "Shredder?"
That must be why they needed Splinter alive. Leo & I rush to the surface to hold him off before he can get to Splinter. We eventually run into a group of Foot-bots that herd us into a clearing for our fight. Once we defeat them, we can't help but feel like we're being watched. We look up to find Fishface, Rahzar, Tiger Claw, & Shredder.
