Hello everyone, and welcome to my latest fic, 'A Sister's Plight', following 'Mutants Misplaced'. This is a special story, as it is a direct sequel to the fic 'A Dangerous Capitive' by Bloodrayne666. She wrote that as a gift to me, and now I want to return the favour. As you might expect, there will be references to her story in this, and I do urge you all to read it, not to mention her other stories.
A Sister's Plight
Chapter 1
Back For More
"And finish!" Splinter barked, letting his students rest after preforming the moves he had called out for the last hour and a half. "That is enough for today, my children. You have done well." the old rat praised them.
"Thank you, sensei." the five reptiles said in unison, bowing to their master. Leonardo then turned to his brothers and adoptive sister.
"Alright guys. We'll rest for, say, ten minutes, then we hit the surface for tonight's patrol." he said.
"That's more than enough time to get a snack!" said the always happy Michelangelo.
"You're hopeless, Mikey." Monalisa said teasingly.
"But you guys love me anyway, right?"
"No. We're just used to you." said Raphael.
"Hey!"
"Don't try to deny it, love. We all know that you care about your baby brother." said Mona.
Raphael scoffed and the others laughed as the hotheaded turtle blushed slightly from embarrassment. He couldn't deny it, but he didn't want to admit it in front of his brothers, he had an image to think about.
An hour later, the gang jumped across the rooftops as they passed into the Purple Dragon's territory. Just some fifteen minutes earlier, they had heard an explosion. When they arrived at the scene, they found that someone broken into a bankvault, but had already escaped. The only ones that would pull such a stunt was the infamous gang, so the mutants knew roughly where to look.
Arriving at an abandoned warehouse that the gang had used as a hideout once before, the team saw signs of recent activity, fresh tracks in the dirt in the courtyard and light inside the dirty windows. Seeing no guards outside, the team snuck to an open window and peered inside.
"Check this out." said Raphael.
On the floor lay twenty or so members of the gang, all unconscious. Entering the building, they examined the thugs and found that they had bruises, black eyes, busted lips and missing teeth.
"Whoa, someone really did a number on these guys." said Michelangelo.
"Yeah, but who?" said Monalisa. "You don't think it was Casey, do you?"
"No way. Casey's good, but not this good." said Raphael. "Even if he'd been here when the thugs arrived, I doubt that the fight would have ended by now, at least not this way."
"I don't like this, something's not right." said Donatello.
Without warning, the lights were turned off. Instinctively, the ninja readied themselves for combat, searching the area with their eyes for any signs of attackers, but all they saw was darkness.
The moon shone through the skylights, illuminating patches of the hall. In the square of light in front of the five ninja, there was a shadow. Looking up towards the skylight, the mutants saw a silhouette of someone standing on the support beams. Standing tall, the figure seemed to have a cape of some sort and something resembling pointed ears or horn on top of the head.
"Batman?" Michelangelo asked nervously.
"That's what the other blokes guessed as well, and like them, you're wrong." said the figure with a familiar voice.
The lights flickered to life, revealing the figure's identity.
"How are you doing?" the red dragon mutant said with a smirk.
"Tyroth?"
"Hi guys!" said another familiar voice from behind the ninja. Sitting on another support beam, next to the main power cord to the lights, was a female lizard mutant.
"Sephie!" Monalisa said, happy to see her close friend.
"You guys sure surprised us there." said Leonardo. "What are you doing here of all places?"
"We were on our way to visit you, and decided to take a rest here after the trip." Tyroth started. Jumping down to the floor, he walked over to his friends and continued talking. "Then these fools show up. As they didn't know that we were here, they never stood a chance when we attacked. Sephie also got the idea of scaring them first, just like we did with you just now."
"We just couldn't pass up such an opportunity, but I didn't expect that we would be able to do it twice in a row." said Sephie as she joined the rest.
"If you don't mind me asking, why are you in New York?" said Donatello.
"Do we really need a reason to visit our close and dear friends and have some fun?" said Sephie.
"Well, it sure ain't boring with you two around." said Raphael.
"Likewise." Tyroth replied. "Now help us tie up these losers and we'll be off before the cops show up."
Meanwhile, in the headquarters of the Foot, Arashi, a tall man of Japanese origin with black hair in ponytail and dressed in black and red robes, walked into the lab belonging to his head scientist, doctor William Arden.
Arden was currently overseeing a new project that he was working on, aided by a few medical ninja and nurses.
"Doctor." Arashi said, getting Arden's attention.
"Ah, master. How good of you to come." the scientist said, turning away from one of the many computer screens in the room, showing the burnt left side of his face.
"You said that you had something important to show me."
"Indeed I have." said Arden with a smirk. He then pressed a few buttons on the keyboard. "I am sure that you remember him."
Arashi looked at the image on the screen, and image of a red humanoid dragon.
"How could I ever forget. He devastated several stories of our HQ, nearly killed the both of us and tore through my ninja like they were made of paper, despite him being weakened by the sedatives. Not even your clones or cross-breeds stood a chance against him."
"True, his sudden increase in strength and power was completely unforeseen."
"Is there a reason for bringing this up again, doctor?" Arashi asked, slightly annoyed.
"As you remember, my old lab was one of the areas he destroyed, including my research, such as his DNA-samples. But, like the samples from that lizard whore, Monalisa," Arden ran his fingers over his scarred face when he mentioned Monalisa's name. "I kept backups. And it is in these samples that I have found something interesting."
Pressing a few more buttons, the image shifted to two double helices, DNA, with small portraits of Monalisa and Tyroth respectively. A few areas, scattered across the two helices, were highlighted.
"While analysing the samples, I found traces of unmutated human DNA. They are not complete, but there is enough to potentially identify their old selves. And from there, it should be a breeze to locate their relatives and..."
"And take them hostage." Arashi filled in with an evil smile. "Excellent work, William. Not even the dragon will be able to do anything if his family is in our custody."
"I thought that you would like that, master."
Arashi was just about to say something, when his cellphone rang.
"Yes?" Arashi answered.
"Really? Are you sure?" he asked the person on the phone. He listened for a while before hanging up.
"It would seem that the dragon has returned, my good doctor. If this plan will bare fruition, now would be a good time to start. Find their identities." Arashi commanded.
"I will not fail you, master. Unlike that fool Overlord that you had to ally yourself with in my absence."
"A fool he may have been, but after witnessing the dragon's destructive capabilities first-hand, we will do wise not to underestimate our enemy, or we may share Overlord's fate."
"Before you leave, master, there is one more thing that I want to show you."
Arden handed Arashi a small data pad.
"Read it at you leisure, master."
Arashi didn't waste any time and started reading the document on the pad. Once again, he smile maliciously.
"How very creative."
Only the first chapter, and the Foot is already up to no good squared. Trying to find Tyroth and Mona's families and use them as hostages, that's low. But the crazed doctor has more in store. What could it be?
