Kirby's POV
I just picked up my daughter from spending the weekend with her babysitter, to see a group of suits in front of our house. I only catch a few words of their conversation, most are O'Neils, wait, capture, and the word Kraang. I start to back into an alley when I brush against a can that clatters around.
I don't stop to see if they are coming when I start looking for a place to hide. It's not my safety that had me worried, but that of my daughter's. I spot a manhole cover set in the middle of the alley and make my way down.
Once below I set her backpack down, place a pipe I found next to it, and hide behind the archway with my daughter in my arms.
I peek around the corner to see that 2 of the 4 have followed me down. Both with a gun you would only see in Sci-fi movies, and blank expressions on their faces.
I look down at the sleeping face of my daughter, and realize that if we stay together, she will be in danger. If I ask my sister for help, they both will be in danger.
I've made my decision.
I rest her head on the backpack, with a note slipped inside a pocket, then set her teddy bear in her arms and kissed her good-bye one last time while tucking her in the thing blanket for warmth.
With lead pipe in hand I dash forward and hit the suit closest to me, than dash up the manhole behind us. My plan was to become a "lure" for these men. The plan was scrambled together at best, with a high chance of failure.
As I'm chased through the alleyway I push trash cans over in hopes of slowing my persuers down. Outside the alley is a van,and the other 2 suits. Still I take these risks, my only regret is leaving her alone. I still chose not to expose her to these dangers, so I continue to run.
No one's POV
down in the sewers the little girls awakens to find herself alone. Looking around to see if her father is still near. When she sees no one, and hears only the dripping of water in the distance does she allow tears to run down her face.
Further down the tunnel a mutant once known as Hamato Yoshi hears the young ones tears, and goes to investigate. Hidden in the shadows of an archway is a young girl with bright red hair that appears to be about 6 years old. A well loved teddy bear and blanket are in her arms and a backpack by her side.
Yoshi doesn't wish to frighten the girl, but still wishes to comfort her. He gently places a four-fingers hand on her head to show he cares, than moves both to her shoulders once she looks up.
The young girl wipes tears from her eyes, and looks into the warm, brown eyes of the rat man in front of her. Without warning she dives into his chest, and wraps her arms around his neck. One arm stays around the the young girl, while the other reaches for a note in one of bags pockets to see the name "Kirby O'Neil" written on the side.
Opening it up he reads
'I beg you, have a better destiny than mine,
Don't let anything harm my daughter,
my little, April.'
Yoshi looks down at the little girl, at April, and asks "it is starting to get cold little one, would you like to come with me to my home?" She only needs to give a slight nod, and they both stand up to gather her meager belongings to place back in the bag. Yoshi grabs her bag while April grabs her bear. Then hand in hand, they make their way to what she will soon come to know as her new family.
