Chapter One

Unexpected

"Aw dude, not the pizza."

"Stop thinking about the damn pizza, Mikey, we have bigger problems!"

"Right, you guys are going down," Mikey said with a smile, twirling his nunchucks in both hands in circular blurs. Raph drew his sia in a fighting stance beside his brother in the alley. The Foot Ninja seemed to have come from nowhere, like always. Raph knew they shouldn't have gone to get pizza – which was now wasted on the ground when it was knocked out of their hands – but his annoying brother had insisted they go and get a few boxes. Now they were stuck in a fight of maybe fifteen against two. The odds seemed fun.

Raphael leapt forward, more than happy to give the first attack.

Mikey ran next. "For the pizza!" he exclaimed, ready to avenge one of his favorite foods.

The fighting began and the two turtles were doing well with only minor scratches. The two had taken down most of the Foot, the bodies falling unconscious to the ground, when Raph was knocked down.

Mikey turned to see what the problem was and had to hold back a laugh at first glance. Raph had been used to break someone's fall from… somewhere.

Raph rolled and jumped to his feet, ready to angrily take out whoever had knocked him down, but hesitated. Mikey's smile quickly disappeared. Though it was the middle of the night, and dark out they could tell by the size of the person it wasn't one of the Foot. When they stood up it was pointed out that they were badly hurt by their extremely unbalance stance, the way the legs couldn't seem to hold the rest of the body up, and the heavy breathing. "S-sorry 'bout that." It was a girl.

One of the remaining Foot Ninjas took the newcomer as an advantage and grabbed her, putting his sword by her throat with one word: "Surrender."

Before a decision was made on whether to or not the girl quickly grabbed the sword's blade - badly cutting her hand -, pulled it away from her, rammed the guy into the wall so he released her. She spun around, sword in hand and rammed the blade into the guy's heart. All before anyone could blink.

"Well," she said breath still heavy. "Anyone else… wanna try that again?"

The last four Foot Ninja jumped forward and was taken down between Mikey, Raph while all the girl could do was dodge blows.

When the fighting was over Raph turned to leave. "Come on Mikey."

"Hold on," Mikey said and turned to the girl. "Are you okay?"

The girl leaned against the wall of the alley. "I-I'm fine. Just- just go."

"There see, now let's go before someone shows up."

Mikey looked at Raph unsurely. Then nodded, it was probably best anyway.

Raph jumped up onto a fire escape, heading for the rooftops. Just as his younger brother was about to follow the girl tried to walk away and collapsed. Mikey stopped.

"Come on, Mikey," Raph said impatiently.

"But Raph, we can't just leave her here. Can't we just drop her off by the hospital or something?"

Raph scowled; sometimes he was sure Mikey just didn't get it. What if the kid saw them in the light? Maybe she had already saw them as something other than human? There go the headlines. It was all so irritating, and they had to go before someone came down this alley. "Fine," he said roughly. "Hurry up."

"No," the girl said, pushing herself up to hands and knees. "I'm not going… to the… hospital. I said I'm fine."

"Oh for crying out loud!" Raph exclaimed angrily. "Mikey we need to go, now."

Mikey shifted his weight from foot to foot uneasily. He couldn't just leave the kid in this condition. He stooped down. "Come on, you need help."

"N- not the… hospital."

"Okay not the hospital," Mikey said and picked her up, cradled in his arms. He jumped up to the fire escape and followed a heated Raph onto the footsteps.

"Okay genius, where do you plan on taking her?" Raph demanded.

"Uh- uh…"

"Can't drop her at the hospital, might as well take her to the lair, right?"

"Could we?"

"I'm being sarcastic!"

"Please, Raph? And we were back anyway with the pizza, which we now don't have."

Raph clenched his fists; his brother was so impossible… This argument wasn't going anywhere. Why couldn't Mikey understand what would happen if they were found out?! But if they did take her to the lair she couldn't necessarily get far and Don could maybe do something to wipe her memory or something. Who knew what he could do with those computers?

With a large huff Raphael pointed off the building. "Go."

Mikey smiled and started off.

Grumbling angrily to himself Raph followed.

By the time they hit the dimly lit sewers the girl had fully lost consciousness. By the time they got to the lair Raph was fully in a horrible mood and went to his room/gym as soon as they entered the main room.

Knowing Donnie would know a thing or two about medical care and things Mikey went to his room where the guy was sure to be working on another invention or something. When he got to the doorway sure enough Don had his back to the door, hunched over a paper covered in scribbled notes.

"Uh, Donnie?"

"I'm busy Mikey."

"But Donnie-"

"No I don't have time for videogames, movies, an eating contest, or watch you do you're latest skateboard trick because of it's supposedly aerodynamics. Maybe later."

"But this can't wait for later, Don! Just like- like when computers get virus-thingies!"

Donnie huffed. "What Mi-" he started and turned around, then froze "key…"

Author Note: This is my first try at a Fan Fiction, and forgive me if there is some OOC. This story is based off somewhere in the 2003 series. Can't exactly say where in the story line though…

Anyway, I hope you like the rest of the story, this is more of a prologue, though it says chapter one.
