CHAPTER 1: A Regular Day…?
Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT but I do own the story and my OCs, if there are guest OCs then they will be stated at the bottom.
~Japan~
A small village which held both humans and creatures of all shapes and sizes laid perfectly still and quiet in the dead of night. In a small house near the center of town was home to the family of four, two men and two creatures. No creature was awake in the house, except for one.
In one large bedroom, in the corner the mass of grey skin and brown hair had started to stir. As the creature lifted her large head and looked around her room, she let off a little growl. She carefully stood up, minding the large dog sleeping with her, and soon took the form of a human.
As a human she had fair skin and the same hair color as her fur was, a dark brown with lighter tips. Her deep brown eyes looked around the room for what had woken her. She had long light grey tail that had a large tuff of hair in the end. She wore a black top that had red trim and skirt that had purple trim. Her sleeves and tights were both made out of fishnet. She had matching black arm braces on both arms, like her top these had red trim also.
She pulled the black cloth around her neck to cover the bottom half of her face. She glanced at the sleeping form on the bed next to her nest; she smiled some and grabbed her twin tonfas and slipped out of the room.
She made her way through the sleeping house looking in the two other bedrooms and made sure that the sleeping bodies in there were also safe and still sleeping. She walked to the front door and silently made it to the outside world. She looked around as she made her way into the shadows.
The creature soon made its way to the forest that was on the edge of the fields that surrounded the small village. She tensed up and froze in the shadows created by the trees. A second later she had phased back into her usual form and kept her large leather wings to her sides.
She looked into the forest and spoke, her voice was even and held a warning to it.
"Who are ya and what do ya want?" she narrowed her eyes and looked at the shadows. Soon a large dark figure moved in the shadows and the grey creature watched the new figure.
"Easy Karma, I am more so here to warn you about coming trouble." The dark figure kept to the shadows. The grey creature's, Karma, eye wide hearing her name and then growled deeply.
"How did ya know my name?!" Karma watched the mysterious creature and flicked her tail.
A deep chuckle reached her as the creature slowly stepped from the shadows to reveal a pitch black creature that looked similar to Karma. Karma's eyes widen, and she bowed "I'm sorry Sabio."
Sabio chuckled again and laid down "Stand up Karma, I am the one that should be giving respect."
Karma smiled and walked over and sat down in front of the black male "No need; you are the eldest."
Sabio smiled and nodded "You are making to be an excellent queen young Karma, but your time here in Japan is over."
Karma frowned "May I ask why?" Sabio nodded.
"It is simple dear, a threat has come to Earth, and to stop this threat you and your 'sister' must go and find allies in a place called New York." Karma frowned and stood up as she thought of what Sabio had told her.
"All right, how will I know what this new threat is?" as she turned to look for the wise Mimcorian he was gone. "Sabio?" She growled deeply and made her way back home.
When she had made it back her 'mother,' Kasumi, by the front door.
"Karma dear?" Karma smiled and phased into her human form.
"It is all right mother, Daichi just decided to stop by."
"Daichi? Then why stop by the house?" Kasumi looked confused and walked inside with her daughter.
"He wanted to give me a message, I will tell you in the morning mother." Karma bowed to her mother, and the two women went back to their rooms. Karma laid in her bed, nest, on her back and looked up at the ceiling. She sighed some and ran her hand through the dog's long and thick fur. She closed her eyes and settled down to go back to sleep.
~Morning~
Karma rolled over in her sleep and groaned some. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room seeing that she was the last one up. She smiled some and closed her eyes again hoping to get some sleep.
But, of course, having little sisters you never get a moment of peace. A solid object landed on Karma causing her to groan some. She opened her eyes to look up into the bright orange eyes of her youngest sister Hotaru.
Hotaru smiled and bounced on Karma's stomach some "Get up sis!"
Karma groaned and closed her eyes, but they opened when she heard another voice "Come on Karma, you know it is time to get up." Karma moved her head towards the sound to see her sister Mimory standing by the door.
A bright neon green turtle mutant stood at the door with her arms crossed over her plastron. Her plastron was a deep gold brown color and had some scratches and nicks in it. She had dark purple elbow and knee pads. She also has dark purple wrappings around her feet. On her left arm she has a dark purple arm and wrist guard, the arm guard is lighter on the inside from her bow. She also had a dark purple belt and right shoulder strap that holds her bow and bo staff. Her weapons of choice were strapped properly onto her back already.
"Come, breakfast is done." Karma smiled hearing her favorite word and sniffed the air.
"Yup. Get up Hotaru!" Karma looked at her youngest sister as she laughed and got off of Karma. She stood up and stretched popping a few joints. Mimory watched her and shook her head before walking over to her bed stand and grabbed the light purple fabric that had back ends and tied it around her head, a mask.
"Why are your tonfas by your bed Karma?" Karma blinked a few times and looked down at her bed and noticed that her sister was right, they laid right near where her head was.
"Guess I felt the need to have them sis." Karma shrugged and knelt down to pick them up. She put them in their correct holders and walked out of the bedroom.
As she walked down the hallway she was feeling uneasy, like some evil force was near. She looked around and frowned some, she didn't see anything but she still felt it.
When she walked into the kitchen her mother was there and Karma bowed to her and greeted her warmly. Karma sat down and started to eat her meal.
When she was done Mimory and her followed their mother out of the house and down to the dojo. As she walked the streets Karma couldn't help but look around the small town.
Once they had gotten to the dojo the two siblings started to spar, Karma was tensed and not really focusing on the fake fight.
After a few hours of sparring the three made their way home. Karma smiled some as she walked alongside her sister. Mimory smiled some as she closed her eyes and let the sun warm her up. Mimory sighed happily and opened her eyes again.
The three of them passed a small family, the mother frowned some and moved her child away from Mimory and scoffed some.
"The nerve of some freaks." The mother turned her back some. Hearing this Mimory frowned and bowed her head some. Karma looked over at Mimory and frowned some, after she heard the mother speak she growled some and glared at the woman.
Kasumi smiled seeing the family and walked over to them. "Ahh how is your family?"
The woman smiled seeing Kasumi "We are well, thank you so much for our child."
Kasumi nodded "It were my daughters, Karma and Mimory, who had found you a child." she motioned to her daughters who had bowed, Karma looked not so pleased to do so.
The woman bowed back to them "Thank you Karma, but I fail to see how a freak could find a child that is perfect for me."
Karma growled loudly and looked ready to kill the woman. Kasumi held up her hand and Karma quieted down.
"Actually ma'am, it was Mimory who had found your child." Karma smiled and crossed her arms.
The woman frowned some. "Impossible, they do not have the intelligence to do such tasks."
Karma snorted some and then grinned "So you're saying that a 'freak' couldn't have found your child?"
The woman nodded "That is correct."
Karma laughed some and changed into her true form and walked up to the woman "Why then thank you for the insult~"
The woman screamed some and quickly moved away "How dare you!" she then looked at Kasumi "And you let your 'daughter' act this way?!"
Kasumi closed her eyes and bowed her head "Yes I do, and I would wish that you would not call my daughters, or any other creature 'freaks'."
The woman looked shocked and turned and walked away with her child. Kasumi frowned and shook her head "People are still judging you." she then looked at Karma and smiled "That was handled nicely my dear."
Karma smiled and bowed "Thank you mother. When we get home I wish to speak to you."
Kasumi smiled and nodded "Of course dear." she then turned and continued towards their house.
Mimory frowned some and watched her sister as she phased back into her human form "Sister, what do you wish to speak with mother?"
Karma grinned and cracked her back "You'll know sis when I'm done, but could ya watch Hotaru for me?"
Mimory nodded "Of course, I will change and then take her and Rextilian for a walk."
Karma smiled "Great! Thanks sis! Hey I'll race ya!" she grinned as she started to run ahead, she glanced back to see Mimory running after her.
~20 minutes later~
Karma gently knocked on the door to her mother's room and waited. She she had waited until Mimory, Hotaru and Rex were all out of the house before she wished to speak with her mother.
After a couple of seconds a soft 'come in' could be heard. Karma softly open and closed the door, she bowed to her mother before taking a seat at the table that was in the room.
"Mother I would like to ask you something." she sat on the balls of her feet and waited for a reply.
Kasumi nodded "What is it dear?"
Karma sighed some and closed her eyes. "Daichi said that I am needed somewhere else, in New York. He also said that Mimory is needed there too."
Kasumi nodded some "Than what is the problem dear?"
Karma looked up at her mother "I ask that you give us your blessing on this journey."
Kasumi smiled "Of course dear, have you told your sister this?"
Karma laughed some "Not yet mother, but I think she will be willing to come with me. Plus it would get her away from these humans that taunt her."
Kasumi sighed and nodded "It is a problem, but it is also a problem that she can not simply run away from."
"I understand mother, I'm hoping that moving to a place where creatures and humans live happily maybe she will she that living with humans is always bad if they are not family."
Kasumi smiled and nodded "Very good, don't forget to bring Rex, he will be upset if he is left behind."
Karma laughed some and stood up "I wouldn't dream of leaving him mother." She bowed to her mother before walking out of her mother's room. She smiled and sighed some as she shut the door. She then walked to her room grinning some.
~Half an hour later~
Mimory walked into the house, she unclipped the leash from Rex who barked before walking to her and Karma's room. She smiled as Hotaru laughed some and ran to her room. She put the leash away and then walked to her room.
She opened the door and saw Karma on her bed with the laptop. Rex looked up from his spot next to Karma and barked happily.
Karma looked up and smiled "Hey sis! Guess what?!"
Mimory laughed some and sat down next to her "What is it sister?"
Karma smiled "We, dear sister, will be moving to New York City next week!"
Mimory frowned "Why is that?"
"Well, Daichi came to visit me last night, he said that me and you are needed in New York city."
Mimory nodded "What about mother? And Hotaru?"
Karma smiled some "Mother and lil sis will stay here, mother has already given us her blessings for a safe travel, we also will be bringing Rex with us."
Mimory stood up and started to pace "But sister, we have been here our whole lives. Is it possible for us to get up and leave like this?"
Karma frowned some "Frankly I think we should go, we'll get more respect there than we do here. It'll be a fresh new start for us. We might even meet someone special~"
Mimory laughed some and nodded "Alright sister, when do we leave?"
Karma grinned and hit a few buttons "Next Monday!"
~One week later~
Karma groaned some and stretched before getting up and phasing into her human form. She smiled and quickly got dressed and skipped out of her room. She smiled and kissed her mother and Hotaru who was crying.
"Aww what's wrong my little Firefly?" Karma knelt down and put her hands on Hotaru's shoulders.
"I wanna go with you."
Karma smiled and kissed her forehead "Then who will stay with mother? You can write to me and sis, we'll send the first letter so you have our new address, okay?"
Hotaru smiled and nodded "And we can be penpals?"
Karma nodded "Yes!" Hotaru hugged her and then ran to hug Mimory who was eating at the kitchen table. Karma laughed some and walked into the kitchen to grab her own breakfast. She sat down next to her sister and started to eat.
"How ya feeling sis?" Karma grinned and took a bite of food.
Mimory smiled at her "A little bit nervous."
Karma nodded "You'll be fine, plus you'll have me and Rex with ya!" Mimory laughed and nodded. The two sisters ate with their family before they had to leave.
~Few hours later~
Karma smiled as she and Mimory loaded up the bus with their stuff. She sighed some and lifted up the cage that they got for Rex. Mimory talked to the driver and smiled coming back to Karma.
"He said that Rextilian can ride with us as long as he behaves."
Karma laughed some "He always behaves." Karma let out a whistle and Rex trotted from his spot to the door and over to them. He sat down and looked up at Karma. "Ready ta go bud?" He barked and stood up. Karma laughed some and clipped on his leash before the three of them climbed onto the bus.
Mimory and Karma sat down, Rex grumbled some before crawling under their seat and started to fall asleep.
~Airport~
Karma frowned some as she put Rex in the cage and wheeled him over to the pet drop off. She knelt down and petted him one last time "See ya in about 19 hours bud." He whined some but laid down.
Karma stood up and walked off to meet Mimory so that they could board the plane.
As they got into their seats Karma looked out of the window and sighed some.
~19 hours later~
Karma gently shook Mimory awake and the two of them got off of the plane. After they went and grabbed their stuff they went to find Rex. She smiled seeing him in his cage and walked over to it. Mimory smiled and went to make sure that Rex did fine on the flight before meeting up with her sister.
Karma smiled and she lead Rex out of the cage and looked at Mimory "Good thing the cage has wheels, we can put our stuff in there and wheel it around!"
Mimory laughed some and nodded "Good thinking sister." The two of them had a majority of their thing in the large cage, what didn't either got carried or was on top.
Karma smiled and the trio walked out of the airport and into the busy streets of New York City. Karma glanced at Mimory and laughed some "Not what ya pictured sis?"
Mimory shook her head. "No, it is not sister."
Karma laughed some more and grabbed her hand "Come on! Let's go look at our place!"
Mimory looked at her "We already have a house?"
Karma nodded "Yup! Well it's more of an apartment, but we will make it home!" Mimory smiled and nodded.
As the three of them walked down the streets Mimory looked at all of the humans and creatures living together. She glanced at her sister who was smiling while she pushed the cage. Karma smiled as she stopped the cage after a little while
"There it is!" Karma smiled and rolled the cage to the building and dug around in one of her back that was on top of the cage. She grinned as she pulled out the key "They have an elevator so we can take tha cage up."
Mimory nodded and as Karma unlocked the doors they made their way in. After going up the elevator and finding their room, Mimory relaxed and looked around the small apartment.
Karma set the cage to the side side and walked around "There's one bedroom but it's quite big." Mimory laughed some as she watched her older sister walk around the apartment telling her every little detail. Karma smiled as she walked back towards her "So what do ya think Mim?"
"It is wonderful sister. Should we unpack?" Mimory smiled and moved towards the cage.
Karma grinned and grabbed her arm "Not yet!" she then started to pull her out of the little house "Rex! Come!" Rex barked and followed after them.
Mimory laughed some "Where are we going?"
Karma smiled and pushed her towards the stairs "Up and out~!" Mimory shook her head and let her sister push her towards the stairs and up a flight of stairs to the roof.
"Okay, now let's see if ya can jump these roofs sis!" Karma grinned and started to take off running with Rex right besides her. Mimory laughed and ran after the two. Even though they ran along the roofs back at home, this was different. They didn't have to jump as far but there were some height differences that were tricky for them.
Karma smiled as she slowed down and waited for Rex and Mimory. Mimory looked at her sister. "Why did we stop?"
Karma smiled and nodded down to the street "We made it."
Mimory frowned some and looked over the side to see a neon light that read 'Butterfly Lounge'. She looked up at Karma "What is it?"
Karma laughed some "It's a club! Come on!" she then climbed onto the ledge and easily jumped down. Rex barked before using the fire escape to get down to ground level. Mimory sighed some before following after her sister.
Karma smiled as the three of them walked up to the door where they got stopped by a large rhino mutant. "Hold it ladies, verifications."
Both Karma and Mimory pulled out their IDs and let the rhino look at them. He glanced between the cards and at them before he handed them back and stepped aside "Have fun ladies."
Karma smiled and walked in, Mimory followed after her with Rex on her heels. The rhino snorted at Rex but let the canne past.
Karma smiled as she looked around "This is awesome!" Mimory smiled and looked around, the main lights were down and there were colorful lights going off. All around them were other creatures of every kind.
Karma grabbed her hand and lead her towards an empty table and sat down. Rex climbed up next to Mimory and sat down. His right ear flicked around and he looked at all of the new creatures around him.
Mimory looked at Karma "There's so many creatures, and no humans?"
Karma laughed some and nodded "Yup! This place is for creatures only, but there are clubs that allow creatures and humans." Mimory smiled and nodded. Karma soon got up and smiled "I'll be back, gonna get us some drinks."
Mimory nodded and started to pet Rex "Alright, me and Rextilian will stay here." Karma nodded and walked over to the bar moving with the sound of the music.
When she got to the bar she ordered the drinks and turned around to wait for flicked her tail and narrowed her eyes some feeling someone watching her. She looked around and saw a black wolf the same size as Rex. She turned back to get her drinks, when she looked for the wolf he was gone. She frowned but made her way back to Mimory.
"One Sprite for you and one margarita for me~!" Karma smiled as she handed Mimory her drink and took a sip from hers. Mimory smiled and shook her head.
"Looks like no roofs on our way home."
Karma laughed some "Ohh yeah~, no roff running for me!" Mimory rolled her eyes.
As the night grew on, and Karma got more drunk, Mimory stood up and gently grabbed her sister's hand "Come on Karma, let's go home."
Karma laughed some "Aww but we're having fun Mim!"
Mimory laughed some and gently tugged Karma up "Right, let's go home."
Karma frowned some "Aww fine~" Mimory laughed some and helped Karma out of the club with Rex on their heels.
As they started to walk down the street Rex stop looking into an alleyway before barking once and trotted into it fading into the shadows.
Mimory stopped and looked at Rex "Rex! Return boy!"
Karma looked up and laughed some "Ohh he'll be fine! He'll come home!"
Mimory looked down at her sister and sighed some, she had to get Karma home now. She looked into the alleyway and sighed again. I hope your right sister…
