Broken Ends
Ch. 1
Jumping from roof to roof through the fall breeze could not be helped but enjoyable. At least, that's what a certain turtle genius felt and he was that his brothers would agree. Though not many trees resided in the city of New York, the group of four passed Central Park as they traveled and saw many of the leaves there turning into various shades of red, orange, yellow, and even brown. The park was quite beautiful. To Donatello, this was his favorite season, and some of those reasons being the turning of the leaves and the cool fall breeze.
Traveling further, they finally stopped at an old warehouse. Reports had shown possible criminal activity taking place. It seemed silent at first, but that night did not disappoint as a beat-up car drove down an alley to park to the side of the building. Men in torn up garments and holding different kinds of weapons stepped out of the car. They were definitely Purple Dragons.
"Alright guys," Leo whispered to his brothers. "This is either a Purple Dragon hideout, or just a temporary place for business."
"I think most likely just business," Donnie mused, "After all, it's only recently come up in reports of gang siting's and it's not like the Purple Dragons have lost any bases recently, so what would be the point of building a new hangout now?"
"That's true," the leader agreed.
"Then why not just do business in their bases like normal?" Raph rebutted, "That doesn't make any sense."
"Maybe they got something really important their trading," the youngest of the four suggested. It wasn't often he thought of a good idea.
"Wow, that's actually smart Mikey. Not often I get to see that," the hothead responded.
"Hey, I can be smart sometimes!"
"Yeah, whatever." Raph finished before flicking his brother in the back of the head which was followed by an ouch and a smirk.
"Alright you two," Leo interrupted, "Enough. Let's get closer and see what's going on."
Nods were exchanged before they moved once more. They had previously been on a rooftop next to the old warehouse that the Purple Dragons entered. Now the ninjas crouched by the glass windows in the roof where their vision could clearly see the activity taking place inside. Luckily, one of the windows was cracked open so they could hear bits of the conversations.
There was a group of four Purple Dragons carrying a silver suitcase while a man in a dark cloak that covered all of him held an odd shaped package in his arms that was wrapped in black cloth.
"You got what we wanted I assume?" the leader of the gang group grinned in anticipation.
"Yes. Do you have what I asked for?" the lone man asked.
"Yep, right here in the suit case."
"Show me."
The case was originally held by one of the other three members but was given to the leader after a wave of the hand. Once he obtained it, the case was opened. The turtles were quite surprised what they saw. It was assumed to be money but instead looked like an old artifact.
"How could the Purple Dragons have an artifact like that?" Leo murmured to himself but it was heard, even if barely, by his brothers.
"I'm not sure," Don answered, "It does seem like something they normally wouldn't have."
"They do steal a lot of stuff for money," Raph reminded them.
"Yeah, but if you look at what the disguised man is holding, that doesn't look like money." The purple-banded turtle replied back.
"Guys…" Mikey interrupted, "They're talking again and I can't hear." They all just glared at him before becoming silent once more.
"I see. Very good. I also have what you requested."
The leader grinned in sinister way, "Alright. Let me see my payment now."
The cloaked man nodded before taking off the cover for what he held. It was a rocket launcher. The ninja's eyes widened from the site.
"Hmm. I usually get money," the Purple Dragon replied, "But I think this will definitely do."
"I am glad to hear that."
Cautiously, the other Purple Dragons exchanged the two payments to their rightful owners. They had to make sure there would be no trouble caused. Excitement and menacing intent was painted all over the leader's face.
"Now, no one will be able to stop me or the Purple Dragons!"
The ninjas exchanged quick glances before knowing what they had to do next. Glass shattered a moment later followed by four turtles landing in the middle between the group of gang members and the mysterious man.
"That's enough! Drop the weapon now!" the eldest of the turtles ordered along with pointing one of his katana towards the Purple Dragons in a threatening way. However, this just caused a laugh to leave the gang leader.
"Really?! You're going to order me around when I have the rocket launcher!?"
"Eh, he's got a point there Leo," Mikey replied which caused a glare to come from the hothead.
"If you won't drop it, then we will fight you," Leo continued while completely ignoring his brother's comment.
"I would love to see you try." A smirk formed on the gang leader's lips as he lifted his new weapon.
He was about ready to prepare the weapon for fire when a snap of the fingers suddenly echoed through the room. The launcher instantly turned into a pile of black dust. Shock covered everyone's faces. The Purple Dragon leader looked to the cloaked man to see his hand up and in position to where he could tell he was the one who just finished the snap of the fingers.
"What's the big idea?!" the gang leader snarled, "What the hell is this!?"
"Do you honestly believe I would trust you with a real rocket launcher?" the man asked in a voice that sounded dull as if bored and not believing how stupid they men really were.
"We had a deal!"
"And I don't care." This remark was followed by a wave of the hand. A gust of wind came after that blew the gang members into one of the warehouse walls.
"You really think I need this useless artifact? It's not even the real one. No, I came here for an entirely different matter. You did exactly what you needed." The man then turned away from the fallen men and towards the turtles. "It is nice to finally meet you all."
"You know us?" Don asked kind of shocked.
"Well, you are known by many," the man answered.
"True," Leo added, "But it doesn't make it any less strange when we meet someone who knows us but we don't have a clue who they are."
"I understand," the man nodded, "However, it does not matter who I am. What matters is who you all are and where you stand in your lives currently."
"Wha'?" Raph questioned.
Mikey added, "That doesn't even make any sense!"
"It doesn't have to yet," the cloaked man continued, "However, there are other importance's at hand that we must begin. I do apologize in advance."
"Why?" the eldest turtle asked, not looking forward to the answer.
"Because of this." One of his hands then lifted and with a graceful wrist movement, a blue portal open, much like the one opened to travel to the Battle Nexus. Not even a moment later, he stood by one of the turtles and grabbed his arm. "You must now go and face many dangers and fears. You must find the answers and yourself."
That turtle was thrown into the portal a moment later. The light had been so bright that it had been hard to see. Once it disappeared, however, the other three turtles noticed two things wrong. One, the figure had disappeared on them, and two, there was no Donatello.
*Hello! I thought of this story a little while ago and really wanted to write it. I haven't found much in the ways of the SAINW universe but with tcest. I really liked that episode so this was born! I am really pumped about this story. Sorry this chapter is so short! I promise they won't all be. Anyway, I know much isn't going on yet but we'll get there. Thanks for reading! See you all in the next chapter! R&R if you can. :)
