Next Gen Episode 12: The Attackers

The Attackers is the 12th episode of TMNT X Pokemon: Next Gen.

## Script

Boy: Mommy, tell me about Daddy. What was he like? Did he like school like I do?

His mother stared at him before kneeling down to him, she laid a hand on his arm with a gentle touch and a warm smile.

Mother: Have a nice day my Yoshiro.

Yoshiro frowned, not understanding why his mother looked so sad. Had he said something to upset her? Silently he watched her collect herself as his bus arrived. She stroked his hair.

Yoshiro: Mommy why are you sad?

Avoiding answers she started to coax him towards the bus, She lifted him up on the second step, holding his hands looking at him.

Karai: Whatever happens Yoshi, I want you to know that you will never be your father.

Yoshiro: But mommy...

Karai: Please be good.

He reached out as the doors closed, placing a hand on the now closed door, he watched his mother stand there as the bus started moving. As it moved, he watched her disappear from his view, that is until the six year old made his way through the isle of the bus, placing one knee on the very back seat, he leaned against the bus windows, watching his mom get further and further. He always wondered why she started crying that day. After that day, the day that he saw his mother for the first time cry, he never asked again about his father. He never wanted to see her cry like she did on that sidewalk as he was pulled away to school. Yoshiro opened his eyes at the memory that flooded his mind. Why did he think about that day? So suddenly too.

Litten: You okay, Yosh?! You seem really stressed.

Yoshiro: I'm fine... (sighs heavily) I had seen my memories.

Litten: In the past?

Yoshiro: Yeah... The past... I always wonder why my mom cried on that day. When I saw that, I stopped asking her about my father. I don't want to see cry like she did on that sidewalk as I was pulled away to school.

Litten: There must be a good reason for it.

Yoshiro: Maybe. But I can't ask her. Like I say, I don't want to see her cry like that. I just can't bear it!

Litten: It's for the best.

Hana who had been in the lab helping Liam with Luke had walked in when Yoshiro was leaving the lair. She noticed how upset he was, and wondered if she should go after him.

Hana: I wonder what's wrong with him.

Catalina: Not sure but it's best that we should let him be. It'll be worse if we get involved.

Hana: If you say so...

She turns toward the lab to see her father working on Irrilia's glasses, she shifted over to Luke and Liam. Irrilia had been sitting with Liam for most of the day, Hana turned back to see the living area was empty, Karai must of went somewhere when Hana wasn't looking. Well since her dad was distracted she thought as she started down the steps. When her father stopped her using that father tone he always used when she would think of bad ideas that she would want to do.

Donnie: Don't even think about it.

Hana: Don't you have some tinkering to do instead of annoying me?

Donnie made his way to his daughter as he was cleaning the lenses of one eye.

Donnie: See, whats the best thing about being a father for about twenty five years is you get great at multitasking.

Hana: Uh-huh. But you know I can handle myself.

Donnie: Yes but that Yoshiro can't even keep his emotions in check. I'm worried he might hurt you.

Hana: I won't let that happen! I'll bring someone with me like Catalina or Halimeda or even Storm! Storm could come with me!

Donnie: Rach's son? Well he is quiet and gentle. And very caring as well. Fine. But don't be out too long. (as she leaves) And I don't want to see a single injury on ya'!

Hana: I will!

April: Someone is in a rush. Donatello?

Donatello: Yes?

April: Where are you going?

Donnie: (talking to himself) Dragging our daughter by her hair to bring her back.

April: Huh? Donatello!

Donnie: Oh hey. Didn't see you there.

April: What's going on, Mr. Grumpy?

Donnie: 1. I'm not Mr. Grumpy. And 2. Hana's going after that Yoshiro brat.

April: What's so bad about that?

Donnie: I'm not losing my daughter to a guy who cant keep his stupid emotions in check!

Sylveon: Uh-oh.

He pulled away from April and went through the turnstiles. The red head thought it was a little amusing by what Donnie said, but does the same thing, maybe not with fists, but his words, the way he presents himself. She chuckled at the old myth of how a daughter falls in love with a guy that's like her father. Oh boy.

April: Donnie, you have a lot to learn my mutant. Rocky, Bella, stay with him in case he starts having a fit.

Midday Lycanroc and Sylveon: Okay!

She made sure to take her time though. Just trying to catch up to her turtle was exhausting. she made it far enough to where the lair wasn't in her eye sight anymore when a sharp pain that jabbed at her so suddenly made the red head jerk forward, loosing her balance. She grabbed onto the concrete wall as she hunched over, holding her stomach. Gritting her teeth. She gasped as the pain grew worse, looking up she saw her husband out of sight, shit. She kept a hold of her stomach as she slowly made her way in the direction of where she guessed her husband had gone. With every step the pain became unbearable. April drop to her knees. She groaned before letting out a small cry.

April: Donnie... Oh god...

She said softly as she struggled back to her feet with huffs and puffs, she finally got to her feet. Using the cold cement wall as her crutch. In a slow pace she turned into the tunnel that led into the sewers. At the mouth of the tunnel the pain grew a lot worse throwing April off balance, landing in the sewer water on her hands and knees. She sat on her legs, hunched over as she held her stomach. Closing her eyes tight trying to calm herself down. The pain was unbearable, but she handled it before. Just breathe she told herself. Remembering her breathing from her previous pregnancy she started the techniques, it took what felt like forever, but finally the pain became tolerable.

April: Whew... Finally... (rubbing a small bump in her stomach) It's okay baby. It'll be alright. (sighs and starts thinking) This is gonna be harder than I thought. But I can't give up. It's only nine months before I go into labor and have the baby. Just bear with it, April. I can do it. I did it before and I'll do it again. (talking) And I know papa will be okay. (chuckles)

Chloe: April? You feeling okay?

April: Oh hey, Chloe. I'm fine. Just felt something painful.

Chloe: Baby?

April: Baby.

Chloe: You should lay down and rest. If you know you're gonna feel pain down there, you should just take it easy.

April: But...

Chloe: No buts. (grabs her hand) Let's head to bed so you could rest.

April: (yelps) Chloe, not too hard!

Chloe: I know I know.

#### Common Area

Catalina: (hisses in pain) Dad, don't do it too hard.

Ritsu: I'm sorry, sweetheart. Daddy's doing the best he can. Just hold still a little while longer.

Catalina: (groans in annoyance) But we've been doing this for an hour! I just want to hangout with the others.

Ritsu: I know just hold on. I'm about... done!

Catalina: Finally. Now I can go.

Ritsu: Of course. You're free to go.

Catalina: Thanks. (stands and leaves)

Hana: Lina, how is your black eye?

Catalina: Getting better. Still painful. What's up?

Hana: Listen, I'm gonna go after Yoshiro. He's upset and I want to do something.

Catalina: What? Hana, I already told you. We should let him be. It'll get worse if we get involved.

Hana: I don't care. I hate seeing him like this. I want to do something and I'm gonna do it. You and Storm are coming with me.

Catalina: (blushes) Me and Storm?

Hana: Yes. My dad wouldn't want me to be there alone. So I ask him if someone could come with me and he says yes. So I know two people I could trust the most; you and Storm. Could you come with me? Please? I promise we could get some ice cream or something like that.

Catalina: I *do* love ice cream. Count me in.

Hana: Good. Where's Storm by the way?

Catalina: I got his phone number so he can tell us. Just give me a sec. (starts calling him)

### Rach's Apartment

#### Bedroom

Storm (in PJs): (wakes up and picks up the phone) Hello? {Catalina: Hey Owl.} Catalina? (sits up) What are you doing calling me? I'm very sleepy. {Catalina: Sorry about that. Me and Hana are gonna go after Yoshiro and we could use your help just in case he starts charging at us.} I see. I'm on my way. (hangs up) Squirtle, come. We must meet Hana and Catalina.

Squirtle: Okay. Let's go.

### April and Chloe

#### Outside

##### streets

Chloe: You sure you want to go out?

April: I'll be fine, Chloe. You worry too much.

Chloe suddenly stops and puts her arm in front of April.

April: What's wrong?

Chloe: We got a couple of thugs ahead. They might want to attack us so keep your guard up.

April: Right. But do you know how to get pass them without getting noticed.

Chloe: Oh I have a couple of ideas. Blue Flame, change into a bear to scare them.

Zoroark: On it! (changes into a bear) Let the scare commence! (approaches the thugs) Hey punks!

Man: What did you just...?

[ROARING]

Men: (screaming in horror) A bear! Run away~!

Chloe and April laughs hysterically.

Chloe: Good job, Blue Flame!

Zoroark: (changes back) Thanks!

Midday Lycanroc: We should leave right now! Look!

Chloe: They're going after us! Let's go!

Man: Don't run away! Get them!

### Subway Station

Man 2: Come back here!

April turns in time to see the axe coming right to her head, she screamed. She ducked in a quick fashion. She looked at how close she was to no head, wide eyes she tensed. But she gave them no chance to get her. The short one got in her way but not for long, she hyped up her leg, putting her knee right into his sensitive spot. She threw her fist into his face. Grabbing his shirt she spun him into the other guy, making them both collide into the wall. She jumped off the edge of the walkway, landing on the subway tracks.

Chloe: For a pregnant woman, you still got it.

April: Thanks. Besides, this ol' lady is just to hot for them to handle. Eat it chumps! (leaves with Chloe)

Chloe: Let me carry you. I know how much in pain you are.

April: Guess it's for the best.

Chloe gives her a piggyback ride and they headed to the Lair.

April: This is bad. If those men are searching for Mutants in the sewers, everyone is gonna be in danger.

Chloe: I know. We have to do something.

Midday Lycanroc: Like how to get rid of them?

Zoroark: That's gonna be impossible! Especially if they have tracking Pokemon like Houndoom or Stoutland!

Chloe: Well we have to think of something.

### Kohana

Kohana: There you are, Storm!

Storm: Sorry I was late. Had to run as fast as possible.

Treecko: Anyway, we should go and see Yoshi. I'm very worried about him.

She sighed as she looked away finally taring her gaze. She leaned against the wall. Slowly sliding down, hugging her legs. She could go up there, but with the wound still not settled, and her cousin missing, she just couldn't find the energy to go after him. Why even bother. He doesn't like her. Not like she thought. She set her chin on her knee cap, closing her eyes. All was quiet when she started hearing those voices again, opening her eyes, she straightened up as she looked down the dark abyss of the tunnel she was in.

Hana: Hello?

Catalina: I have a bad feeling about this.

Storm: Me too. We should see what's going on down there.

The three goes down to see the commotion. Their bodies froze in place as the light above revealed them. One was big and tall, and the other was short, slender figure.

Man: I swear Im gonna hit that bitch the next time I see her.

Catalina: Hana, Owl, we must leave now. Yoshiro can wait.

Hana: What?

Man 2: (notices them) Hey! Those two are the same people we saw before! And there's a second hybrid!

Man: That would mean we'll get double the money if we capture the two.

Storm: Hana, Lina, go! (hand glowing) I'll handle these two crooks.

Man 2: This freak thinks he can handle the both of us!

Man: Let's teach him a lesson of not messing with us.

Storm: Squirtle, Water Gun.

Squirtle: Water Gun!

Storm freezes the Water Gun to freeze the men's lower body. They quickly leave while the men struggle to get out of the ice.

Man 2: Stupid kid. He's gonna pay for this! (takes out Pokeball) Charmeleon, come on out!

Charmeleon: Charmeleon!

Man 2: Use Flamethrower to melt the ice!

Charmeleon: Flamethrower! (melts the ice)

### Kohana

Hana: (panting) We have to warn the others.

Catalina: But we can't those men follow us. We'll lead them straight to the Lair and all hell's break loose.

Hana: Agree.

Storm comes running to them.

Storm: We must leave to the surface and take them away from here.

Hana: Right! We don't much of a...

They were then tied by Spider Web.

Man: We caught you!

Storm: (growling)

Man 2: Don't give us that look, punk. (takes out gun) Now then, I believe this chick (points gun to Catalina) should die first.

Hana: Catalina! No, don't shoot her! Shoot me instead!

Catalina: Hana...

Man 2: You would die for a friend? (points gun to Hana) I see.

Catalina: Kohana, don't do this for me! I'll be okay.

Hana: No way! I don't want your mom and dad to be worried about you! I want you two to live! (tears forming) I'll be okay. (sobs) I'll be (sobs) fine.

Catalina: Hana... (tears forming) Someone please help us! (echoes)

Two figures punches the men in the face.

Ritsu: Let go of our daughters, you bastards.

Catalina and Hana: Dad!

Rach: (cuts the Spider Web using an icicle)

Storm: Mom...

Rach: I'm right here, sweetheart. Don't worry.

Hana: I'm so glad you're here, daddy! (hugs him)

Donnie: I know. I had a hunch so me, Ritsu and Rach came here as soon as possible. I'm just glad you're not hurt.

Hana: (nods) Yeah!

Ritsu: (glares menacingly at the men) You think this is funny? Kidnapping my daughter and her friends then attempted to shoot at her?! Mess with my daughter you have to mess with me too!

Man: What are you gonna do about, Mr. Popstar?!

Ritsu: Rio, Ballerina, help us out!

Lucario: Right!

Gardevoir: Gardevoir.

Ritsu: Rio, Aura Sphere! Ballerina, Moonblast!

Lucario: Aura Sphere!

Gardevoir: Moonblast!

Man: Charmeleon, Flamethrower!

Man 2: Ariados, Pin Missile!

Charmeleon: Flamethrower~!

Ariados: Pin Missile!

[BOOM]

Ritsu: You three should leave and head back to the Lair. We'll handle these punks.

Catalina: Dad, we want to help! I know it's dangerous but let us!

Ritsu: Alright, sweetheart. Show me what you got.

Catalina: Right! Jewel, use Ember on Ariados!

Fennekin: Ember!

Ariados: (jumps)

Hana: Treecko, Energy Ball to Ariados!

Treecko: Energy Ball!

Ariados: (grunts loudly)

Man: You don't stand a chance! Charmeleon, Dragon Rage!

Charmeleon: Dragon Rage!

Storm: I'll handle this. Squirtle, use Water Gun on the Flamethrower. Jump and use Hydro Pump.

Squirtle: Water Gun! (jumps) Hydro Pump~!

Charmeleon: (screams)

Ariados also get hit by Hydro Pump which cause them to faint.

Donnie: Nice job.

Hana: Thanks, daddy.

Man: (growling) For a couple of Mutants, they're tough.

Man 2: Don't give me that crap. I know they're strong but not for long. (takes out gun) I still have one bullet in here. I'm gonna shoot randomly and see which one of these freaks will get shot.

Espeon: He has a gun!

Donnie: Everyone, dodge!

[GUN FIRED]

Man: Let's just get outta here, man!

Man 2: Right! (leaves)

Ritsu: Is everyone okay?

Hana: I'm fine. Dad?

Donnie: Yeah sweetheart. Anyone else?

When Lina open her eyes, she saw Storm on top of her, grunting in pain from a gunshot wound to the shoulder.

Catalina: Storm! (sits up as he falls on his back) Oh no! Storm!

Rach: He got shot! We have to get back to the Lair for medical treatment!

Ritsu: What about those punks?! I'm not finish with them!

Catalina: Dad, let it go! We can deal with them later. They're not worth it. For now we should be worrying about Storm's health and wellbeing.

Ritsu: Alright. I'll carry him.

Rach: (as he picks up Storm) Careful! I don't want his shoulder to get worse!

Ritsu: Okay okay. I'll be *extra* careful. (puts him on his back) I promise.

Rach: Aspetta, mio piccolo fiocco di neve. Ci prenderemo cura della tua ferita. {Translation: Hold on, my little snowflake. We're gonna take care of your wound.}

### Lair

#### Donnie's Lab

Ritsu carefully put him on the bed.

Storm: Catalina... you okay?

Catalina: I'm fine. (looks down) But are you?

Storm: I will. (cups her cheek) Don't worry about me.

Her cheeks blushes harshly as he looks at her with such warmth.

Donnie: Well, I should take care of the wound. Everyone, out!

They all leave his lab.

Catalina: Storm... Is he really gonna be okay?

Rach: I'm sure he will. You don't have to worry about anything.

Catalina: But...

Rach: (shakes her head) This isn't your fault.

Catalina: Okay.

Chloe: Guys, we have a problem.

Ritsu: Chloe?!

Chloe: Some punks are hunting Mutants.

Ritsu: We know. We saw the two men attempting to kidnap and kill one of them.

Chloe: What?! Hold on, April's asleep so I should put her in bed.

Rach: Let me handle this. (carefully carries April to her and Donnie's bedroom)

Chloe: Você está bem, Catalina? {Translation: Are you okay, Catalina?}

Catalina: Estou bem, mãe. Mas Storm está ferida por causa de mim. {Translation: I'm alright, mom. But Storm is injured because of me.}

Ritsu: Lina, Rach already told you. Don't blame yourself for something you didn't do. But for now, we need to know how to stop these hunters. And possibly even stopping the one who's behind the whole operation.

Hana: You mean the mastermind?

Lucario: Exactly. Someone is ordering them for this and we have to get to the bottom of this.

Fennekin: But we can't do it ourselves!

Ritsu: Which is why I have everyone's addresses so we can get them here.

Chloe: You did that?

Catalina: It was my idea, mama. We could use a bigger team and the enemy who is the mastermind could be extremely strong.

Chloe: That's true... He or she is definitely going to be tough. But you sure about this?

Catalina: I am ready as ever!

Chloe: That's my girl! (chuckles)

### Later

#### Common Area

Hana: Poor Storm... I hope my dad could help him...

Irrilia: There's nothing to worry about. I know Donnie would take care of him. All he needs is some resting.

Luke: I hope so! He's one of the strongest and we could really use his strength and his ice abilities for the mission!

Irrilia: Uh-huh.

Hana: Hey, I'm strong too!

Irrilia: Of course you are. Especially for someone who shot herself, escaped from a bunch of crooks, jumped storage units while still injured, and cooked breakfast for a bunch of whiny teen boys.

Luke and Liam: Hey!

Luke: We're not whiny!

Charmander: You're acting whiny!

Liam: No we aren't!

Irrilia: Besides the point, you are a fantastic kunoichi and I know we can use your help to get Remy back.

Hana: Really? You sure?

Luke: Positive! We can get him back somehow! Anyway, I'm getting hungry. Wanna get something to eat?

Treecko: Hold on! Didn't you just ate peanut butter?

Luke: Doesn't mean I'm hungry! (rubs his stomach) I'm a growing boy! (laughs)

Hana: (laughs) Okay. Let's just go and eat something.

Luke: You first.

He held out his arm just like those men do in old movies, feeling a bit better Hana hooked her arm around his, hugging it a bit as she let him lead her to the kitchen. When inside she stopped as her eyes set on the crystal Liam was holding. She gasped, letting the crystal go she hurried over to Liam.

Hana: That's mine!

Liam: Wha?! No! I found it so it's mine!

Hana: Irrilia gave me that crystal! (pulls Liam's ear) Give it back!

Liam: Ow! Let go!

Hana: Not until you give me back my crystal!

Liam growled ready to fight her but Irrilia laid a hand on his as she took the crystal from his grasp.

Irrilia: I do remember giving my cousin a crystal from my moms home planet. Tell me Liam, where did you find this?

Liam: I found it at my house, Raph had came out and took you from my arms then when I was heading back in, I saw it laying on the ground. Can you let go of my ear!?

Hana: Not yet. I want my crystal. And that one is the one Irrilia gave it to me.

Luke sat across from them looking amused. Liam glared at his brother.

Liam: Get her before I kill her.

Irilia: I see. (stands up after putting the crystal down) Hana, let him go.

Hana: Fine. (lets go of his ear)

Liam rubbed his sore ear meeting Hana's filthy look with his own. Kohana reached over, collecting the crystal, holding it as she smiled.

Hana: Back at last. I thought I lost it.

Liam: It isn't even yours.

Hana: That other ear looks pale, maybe I should redden it up so it can match your other ear.

Irrilia: (sighs) Can you two be more quiet?

Luke chuckled all at the scene, loving that he's getting to see this girl in a better light. If only she can keep that smile on forever, he will do whatever it takes just to see it. Spending the rest of his life trying. That's for sure.

### Night

#### Ritsu's Apartment

##### Catalina's Bedroom

Catalina: (groaning as she moves around side to side) No... Storm... Stop... I'm sorry... Please don't... (wakes up suddenly and sits up) I'm sorry~! (panting heavily while tears begin to form) Storm... (crying)

[DOOR KNOCKING]

Chloe: Catalina? (rushes to her) Catalina. (little louder) Catalina.

When Lina looks at her mother, tears were falling down from her face. Chloe, shocked by this, hugs her and starts comforting her as much as possible. Ritsu came to her room.

Ritsu: Lina? (rushes to her) Chloe, what happened?

Chloe: I think she had a nightmare. A horrible one.

Ritsu: Lina... (strokes her hair) It's gonna be okay, princess. We're right here.

Catalina: Dad, I want to be absolutely sure. Is Storm gonna be okay?

Ritsu: (looks at Chloe before looking at Catalina) Of course he will. Is this about what happened earlier?

She nodded.

Ritsu: I get it. Catalina, he'll be okay. You don't need to worry.

Catalina: Can I see him? (sobs) Please?

Ritsu: Okay. We'll go to the Lair so you can see him. You can be there as long as you want.

Catalina: I can?

Ritsu: Absolutely.

Catalina: Thanks.

### Lair

#### Common Area

Chloe: You sure this is a good idea?

Ritsu: I got this, my queen. We can sleep here for now.

Chloe: Right. I hope this works.

#### Donnie's Lair

Storm is sleeping soundly as he is now covers in bandages around the chest area. Once she enters, she sits down on the rolling chair and stares at him. Lina cups his cheek. Memories of what happened kept appearing in her mind and tears begin to form and falling down from her face to the side of the bed.

Catalina: (sobs) Come on, Catalina. Stop (sobs) crying. What's the point? He almost died because of (sobs) me. Why am I so weak? If I... (sobs) If I...

She felt something in her cheek. It was Storm's hand cupping her cheek and shortly wakes up.

Storm: Don't blame yourself... You didn't do anything wrong...

Catalina: Owl! (hugs him tightly while crying)

Storm: (hugging her comfortably) It's okay... Please don't cry...

Catalina: I can't! I... can't. (rubbing her eyes to wipe away the tears)

Using his ice powers he creates stars.

Storm: Look up.

Catalina: Huh? (looks up) Stars?

Using the stars, he creates a picture of a dog, a cat, a rose, and Lina's name.

Catalina: Wow... It's amazing...

Storm creates a heart-shaped sculpture in his hand.

Catalina: For me? (he nodded) Thank you. (grabs it from his hand) You're such a sweet boy... (smiles warmly) You seem to always know what others want.

Storm: Because my mother always told me to help others and protect them from danger. When that guy had the gun, I knew I have to do something. All I care is your safety. So please don't blame yourself on that incident. (cups her cheek while blushing) Okay?

She nodded.

Catalina: Okay.

Out of nowhere, Storm kisses Catalina on the lips. Lina was completely shocked but slowly closes her eyes and starts to relax her body.

Catalina: (thinking) Owl's kissing me on the lips! (squeals happily) My first kiss! I can't wait to tell Hana about this! She'll be so shocked it's no joke!

After awhile, they stopped and look at each other, eyes fluttering and cheeks completely flushed with redness.

Catalina: Thanks for the kiss. (stands up) I should get going now. (smiles warmly) Wanna come to my house to hangout some time?

Storm: Sure. Love to.

With a peck on the cheek, she leaves Donnie's lab.

Catalina: (chuckling) This night is one night I won't be forgetting.
