The work of saving the world does not end even when you die

Isn't that cool?

— Don't be afraid, little one — the ghostly woman whispered directly into the kunoichi's mind — you are not alone — she added — your family is here — breathing deeply, the young ninja allowed the spirit's words to calm her fury. She knew Shredder, she knew the warrior was agile enough to attempt a direct attack, she had to think if he wanted to win.

Saki watched the girl, he knew her, he trained her himself, she had no chance of beating him. He would kill her in front of the turtles and then leave only one alive to send the message to Yoshi, he could not enjoy the devastated face of his "brother" seeing his family annihilated, once again, by his hand, but he would rejoice imagining it.

He gave a signal and the footbots moved towards Leo and his brothers. Raphael pushed the older man into the purple man's arms before taking out his weapons.

"Take Leo with the others, I'll stay to buy time," he orders and the one in blue begins to protest, "I'm the leader for now and you have to obey," he says, looking him in the eyes with determination. The older man nods, it's Raph's time and he'll respect that. The one in red breathes a sigh of relief and signals to his little brother to get away from him.

He feels a hand on his shoulder and turns to see his human friend standing next to him smiling at him.

— You won't let Leo forget this, right?

— Of course not — he answers and they both put themselves on guard to attack the robots and keep them away from the injured.

Von Ryan had finished bandaging and checking, and secretly attaching new trackers, to his older brother and was now waiting for the younger ones while checking his phone, with his back leaning against the side of the van. Raph rested with his head resting on the door, Dee summarized, somewhat, what had happened in the last few weeks. Despite his efforts to investigate the reasons for his miraculous resurrection he had not found anything, Raphael could not get an idea either, more than anything because everything happened very quickly, when he woke up he was already a prisoner and had no idea how many days he had been there. His mind was only focused on staying calm and not letting himself go crazy due to the absence of his family. He didn't know if his destructive behavior would make his captors hurt his family, if they were prisoners. same as him.

— Here come the kids, they were taking too long — says Purpura, bringing her brother out of his thoughts — I need to get to a safer place to check your wounds and those of the blue mini — she adds, taking a couple of steps towards the minors but stops abruptly when she sees that there are only two of them.

— Where are the others? — he asks as Raph rushes to take Leonardo from his little brother's hands and carefully carry him to the van. — There were five of them, if I recall correctly. — Little Donnie takes his cane with both hands.

— Raph and Casey stayed to hold off the footbots that were following us, they left me in charge of bringing Leo to the van, now I'm going back to fighting — he says before turning around and running towards his other older brother. Von Ryan looks at Raphael and he gives him a nod that the purple one responds to before running after his younger counterpart.

The robots didn't seem to be ending, both Raphael and Jones had already finished off several and yet they still didn't stop attacking them.

— Did that moron Shredder bring everything he had or what? — Casey yells before knocking down a mechanical ninja who almost burying a blade in his arm. Raphael was no better, taking several hits from some of the robots while trying to prevent them from hurting his friend. The worry for Leo, the adrenaline rush and the fall he had in the rubble, which also hurt him, were taking their toll on him and the fact that the footbots kept appearing was tiring him out.
