I do not own TNMT or Meatloaf.
Oneshots like this are what happen when I try to edit my chapters while listening to music.
I guess I've been confusing a lot of people with this fic. Meatloaf is a musician. He has a song called I Would Do Anything For Love. It appeared in a Dr. Pepper commercial a few years ago if that rings any bells. This has nothing to do with real meatloaf of any kind. Also, no one exchanged phone numbers. The joke at the end is just Raph being Raph. With that in mind enjoy.
'It was too bad they weren't on the same side. They could have done great things together.' Leo couldn't help thinking that about Karai, despite the fact that she was the reason he was in this mess. Secretly, he always enjoyed going up against her. She was a refreshing challenge. Of course, he'd never tell his brothers that. They gave him a hard enough time for trusting her the first time around. And the second. And the third.
Again, it was too bad that she had to work for The Shredder. Of course, those wishes had nothing to do with the fact that she had tossed him into this cell. And, of course, it had nothing to do with the chains that kept him from rising past a kneeling position. Nope, nothing to do with that at all.
The door opened. For some reason cell doors always whoosh.
She strode in.
"I hope you are enjoying your accommodations Leonardo."
"Karai." He growled her name.
"What Dr. Stockman has planned for you will not be pleasant. You are an honorable opponent. I do not wish you to suffer at his hands Leonardo."
He snorted.
"I have come to offer you a chance."
His temper flared. He fought to keep it under control.
"A chance to what? Serve the Shredder? Betray my family? Be like you?" His eyes narrowed as he threw that barb. He knew that it would hit near to the mark. He actually saw her wince. "No thank you Karai." He spat. "I would rather die with honor."
He watched as she composed herself. Her face was one of resolve.
"Very well foolish Leonardo. We can grant you your wish. I gave you a chance. I am not responsible for your demise."
Karai left the cell. She hated seeing such an honorable and worthy opponent caged like that. He was a ninja, not an animal. She didn't want think about what was in store. 'It is such a shame that he had to be an enemy.' She thought remorsefully. 'We could have done such great things together.'
That night two furiously calm ninja turtles and one just plain furious one broke into Foot headquarters, leaving a swath of destruction in their wake as they made their way to Dr. Baxter Stockman's laboratory. They found their brother there, for the most part unharmed. Together the four of them faded away into the night.
Karai watched from her private security feed. She allowed a small smile to turn up the corner of her mouth. "Until we meet again, Leonardo." She murmured as she watched his brothers carry him away. She pressed a few keys and redirected security away from the laboratories. "Until we meet again."
Two miles. At six A.M. That's how far April O'Neil hiked through the sewers when she found out that they'd rescued Leo, cursing her finicky car the whole way. As she neared the Lair she paused. What was that she was hearing? Was that faint strains of Meatloaf? She could hear better as she got closer.
"I would do anything for love! But I won't do that! No I won't do that!"
Then she heard Raph. "Hey Leo, The Shredder called. Your girlfriend wants her girly music back." There was a growl and she heard Mikey yell "Master Splinter! Come quick! Leo's attacking Raph!"
Soooo... yeah.
I didn't exactly know what catagory to put this under. So I'm just going to put it under drama.
R&R. please :)
Mikey's looking up at you with puppy dog eyes. You can't resist the puppy dog eyes!
