Okay, so I admit... I watched the new turtles movie and LOOOVED it. And it inspired me to do a little something... so, here it is.
Not putting it as a crossover cause I don't know if it really counts as one. If it does, please feel free to let me know!
These turtles are based on the recent movie turtles as well... just so you know :D
Oh, and enjoy!
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
I watched Donnie intently as he shifted his glasses up again, tapping furiously away at his keyboard. I half wondered what he was doing, but knew it was probably was best to leave him to it for now. I'd just come down to the lair straight from school, and was hoping for some time with Donnie, but I was kind of starting to second guess my decision. It looked important whatever he was working on...
I'd only just recently moved to this city, both because of my dads new job, as well as for Donnie. We'd been dating officially for a few months, and he always found ways to surprise me.
My name, by the way, is Jade. My tale is weird and twisted, but the one thing you need to know about me is that I am a shifter.
Yes, a shape shifter. I can become anything you can think of. I can become an animal, a chair... even things like a tree...
Crazy, right?
Well, I thought that was the worst that it got. But then I fought aliens. Not just one lot of nasty buggers, but two. I thought I could never find anything more insane, until...
"Jade?"
I jerked a little, looking up and surprised to find Donnie giving me a small smile.
"Oh, yeah?"
"What you doing over there?" He asked, indicating I come over. I couldn't help but smile, getting off the couch and moving to stand beside him. Immediately he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me onto his lap, making me yelp a little.
Before I could say anything, I was pulled close and lips were now against mine. I returned the kiss, my arms sliding up and around his neck.
Donnie... my ninja turtle.
Well, to be correct, he was a teenage mutant ninja turtle. One of four turtles. And a large rat we all called Splinter.
I know, weird right? Well me and my team thought so too at first. But over time, and going through a big battle and a lot of mess, we drew closer to all of them, and I... well, I fell for one. Big time.
Turns out, he fell for me too during it.
He pulled away, shifting his glasses up and smiling at me, those beautiful green eyes of his looking beautiful behind those lenses.
"What was that for?" I managed to get out, my hands slipping down to his chest as I pulled away a little.
"No reason" He responded, pulling me close again. I raised an eyebrow.
"What, can't I kiss my girlfriend?" He asked, the last word his voice went a little high pitched, doing his cute little snort. I shook my head, moving up and pulling his goggles off, kissing his forehead before moving to get up with them.
He grabbed me gently again, pulling me back down onto his waist and making me giggle a little.
"And where are yoooou going?" He tried to grab his goggles, but I moved them out of his grasp, half kicking my leg out a little as I moved back.
"Soomewhere?" I responded in the same tone.
"No you don't" Suddenly I was grasping at air, and he had moved to put his goggles back on his head.
"Hey!"
"You two make me sick" Came the grumble, and we turned to see Raph come into the room, shaking his head.
"You can talk" I retorted, moving to get off Donnie's lap, instead being pulled back down "You and Rach do the same thing all the time"
"Yeah but-" A shrill beeping made me almost leap off Donnie, him seeming to not notice as he turned to the screens in front of him.
"The hell?" Was all I could ask as he tapped away, seeing Raph had come up behind me.
"Oh no, trouble!"
"What's going on" Leo now appeared, making me jump a little. Sneaky ninjas...
"Yeah like, where's the party at?" Now Mikey made a miraculous entrance, startling me again.
"You guys..." I muttered, my attention now turning to the screens.
"Oh no, guys! It's the Foot! They're in the Space Museum! Looks like they're taking hostages!"
"What, in the afternoon?" I looked over his shoulder "What the hell is there that they'd even want?"
"I don't know, but we're going to stop them" Leo tapped Donnie on the shoulder, he and the other two following Leo towards the entrance.
I just stood there, not really knowing what to do. Did they want me to go with them? I wasn't really-
"Hey, Jade" '
I looked up, surprised to see Leo smiling at me, the other three going to grab their weapons.
"Wha?" Was all I could get out.
"You comin or what?"
"Oh, so you... sure thing!"
I got my legs moving, running after four now as they all took off towards the door.
"Let's do this!"
Looks like I was back in the game.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-xx-x-
I watched as Leo and the others stopped near an old water tower, on what looked like the highest of several buildings that made up the museum.
Leo looked up, indicating I go join them, so I tucked my wings, diving down and landing neatly beside them. Then... I shifted back.
Feathers gave way soft skin, toes became feet, and finally, my beak softened, becoming my nose and mouth once again. As soon as I was myself, everyone's attention was back on our task.
"Okay, security's down, we should be able to get in" Donnie pulled up his blue screen, pacing as he worked "But, Leo, how are we-"
"I haven't thought that far ahead" Leo admitted, looking around at all of us, turning back and stopping at me.
I couldn't help but smirk "You want me to go in and scope the place, right?"
"Think you can do it?"
I waved my hand dismissively "Puh-lease. Is your bandanna blue?"
He raised an eyebrow, smiling at me in spite of himself and shaking his head a little, before turning to nod at Donnie.
"Okay, Jade, they're taking hostages in this building" Donnie was suddenly beside me, showing me the building on his blue screen. I looked at the blueprint, then over at the actual building. From what I could see, it was a fairly large building, with a huge skylight in the top of it. There were other parts I saw sectioned off it as well.
"Okay, gotcha"
"We need you to scope it out, then report to us. But don't engage them" Leo was now there, looking down at me. I gave him a half salute.
"You can count on me Capt'n"
I heard Raph groan a little, and Mikey do his usual giggle, before I moved back from them, towards what I knew to be the edge of the building.
"Jade, be caref-" I heard Donnie gasp as I fell backwards, already starting to shift into eagle. I opened my wings when I was done, gliding mere feet over another building, before heading towards and reaching my destination.
(I'm all right, don't panic) I told them, knowing I'd just scared the snot out of all of them as I landed on the roof, starting to shift back to human. Once I did, I put the little device Donnie and Ithiell had made into my ear, feeling the little device crackle to life.
"You better be" I jumped a little as I heard Donnie's voice almost immediately through the earpiece.
"Well, I'm walking and talking"
"Jade!"
"All right, I'm on it Leo. I'll report in as soon as I know something" I moved towards the door on the top of the roof, trying to yank it but finding it was locked.
"You know you could have-"
I rolled my eyes "Donnie, I got this... remember?"
He mumbled something but I was already shifting something small to get under the door.
Shape shifting isn't as easy as you think it might be. Alot of concentration is involved in just being able to shift into a single form.
Fortunately for me, I'd had almost seven years to get it right.
Unfortunately, one of the very few things that could get under a giant fire door was a cockroach. And those things are just... gross...
When I was done I scrabbled under the door, shifting back to myself when I was done, ducking behind a corner as I saw something moving down the stairs.
"Okay, we have lost visual on you" Donnie reported.
"All good, I'm inside. Going to radio silence" I whispered as I peeked around the corner, relieved to see it was just some sort of banner moving slightly at the end of the stairs. I could tell the stairs themselves was roped off down the bottom. Probably to stop people from-
"Affirmative. Call us if you need us" Came Leo's voice, and then all went silent on their end.
Good. I'd need concentration now.
Slowly, I slid down the stairs, my back against the wall as I did, not seeing anyone in my direct line of sight. I reached the bottom, peaking out from the side I was leaning against, then looking slowly out the other side, my ears straining to hear anything.
Carefully, I lifted my legs over the rope, slipping a little and almost falling over but managing to right myself, looking ahead of me, then up and down the hallway on either side of me, still not seeing or hearing anything.
I thought they said they were taking hostages, so... where was all the noise?
A feeling of dread was now in the pit of my stomach, wondering if maybe this was a trap for the turtles, or...
Or if we were too late...
No, Donnie would have told me something if it was...
I moved towards what I saw as another set of stairs, peeking around the corner and straining my ears before finally starting to make my way down.
A scream made me jump, hugging the wall next to me as I saw a girl about my age crash to the floor at the bottom of the stairs, then someone was grabbing her, hauling her backwards.
"Get back here!" Came the gruff voice as the girl screamed, then I heard a thump as what I guessed was her hitting the ground.
I bit back a yelp as a gunshot went off, and I finally heard other people crying out in terror.
"Callie!"
"Oh my god!"
No...
"So, anyone else want to try and escape?" Came the authoritative female voice, and mumbles came from the hostages.
"Good!"
I heard crying, my mouth going dry and realising they must have shot... that poor girl...
"Jade, are you okay?" My earpiece crackled to life. But I couldn't move... I felt like I'd failed her... the look on her face as she'd...
"Jade, we need to-"
"Shh!" Was all that came out of me, quietly mind you, hearing what I guessed was members of the foot walking around near scared hostages.
Had to shift...
"Sounds like she's all right, but I heard a gunshot" Donnie muttered in my ear, and I fought to keep quiet as I finally decided to move down the rest of the stairs, my body already starting to shrink. I'd be noticed if I went down there as a human...
So, mouse it was.
A tail sprouted from my spine, and I fell forward on little paws as my ears crawled up to the sides of my head, my nose pushing out and whiskers sprouting.
Soon I was fully shifted, hitting the last step and taking in the situation.
There were a good twenty hostages lined up against the walls, with what looked like at least ten or so of the black clad Foot clan around them, some of them pointing guns or swinging another kind of weapon around. I saw a few walking up and down with what looked like machine guns, and then my eyes rested on the voice of the woman I guessed I'd heard from before.
Her black hair was tied tightly back, and she was holding a small pistol, pointing it either at the ceiling or any hostages that made any sort of noise. She smiled every time she made one of the hostages react. Her armor looked specially designed, and I could only guess she was the leader of this motley crew.
(Guys? I don't know if you can hear me, but the situation's bad. They have-) I stopped when I saw the lifeless body of the poor girl strewn on the floor, and I could see a pool of blood beginning to form...
That poor girl never had a chance...
"Why?" One man asked "Why are you doing this?"
"Shut up!" She pointed the gun at him, hearing him whimper.
I took that moment to jump off the last step, pushing my little legs for all they were worth and skidding behind an exhibit they had there. Some kind of pod or something? I wasn't sure...
Thankfully no one saw me, and no one was around this side of the exhibit. I started to shift back, listening intently. I knew... once I was human again the turtles would be able to hear what was going on though my earpiece...
"But... that poor girl, she didn't do anything to you!" Came another voice, and I heard what sounded like a crack, the person behind that voice crying out.
"Callie, not... CALLIE!"
"Shut up!" One of the male members of the foot said.
"What is wrong with you people?!" Came a female's voice this time, and then she screamed, a low growl coming from the Foot clan leader.
I took a chance to peek around what I was hiding behind, shocked to see a poor woman had been dragged up, and now the Leader from the Footclan had her in a half headlock, the gun now pointed straight at her head.
"Do you really want another death?! This ends when I say it does!"
Dammit...
"Oh that doesn't sound good" Mikey muttered from somewhere, and I couldn't help but agree silently.
"No, please don't!" The woman cried, trying to fight her hold "I have kids!"
I felt the rage boiling inside of me, knowing these people were killing innocent bystanders in whatever their game was.
"Think that bothers me?" The Leader growled, pushing the gun further into her head.
"Don't, please" She pleaded again, trying to break free.
"Leave her alone!" Someone screamed, and then another cry as that person was hit. My eyes were glued on this poor woman...
"You know what... I changed my mind... I might just make another example for all of you..."
She pushed the gun further into the woman's head, taking the safety off...
I knew Leo had warned me about getting involved, but I couldn't... I just... I couldn't do nothing!
"Hey!" The words exploded from me before I could stop them,watching as every eye now turned to me. I moved to stand up, watching as Leader looked me up and down as I came into view.
"Oh, and what do we have here" She yanked the woman close, hearing her cry out in pain. But her eyes were now trained on me...
"Let.. her... go" I growled, balling my hands into fists.
"Oh crap!"
"Jade you idi-"
"Turtles, go!"
"And why would I do that, little girl?" She smiled at me.
"Take me instead. Let her and the other hostages go"
Surprisingly, she threw the woman to the ground, but I'd caught her head nod before she did. My head snapped around to see my first opponent, throwing my arm out. It caught him in the throat, knocking him down and hearing him groan behind his mask.
I spun as another came at me, barely being able to defend myself as the blows came at me lightning fast. I threw a blind kick, catching them in the shin, before feeling something being smashed right into my back, making me cry out and hit the ground painfully.
Before I knew it I was being dragged up onto my knees, someone behind me grabbing me around the throat. In seconds I felt the cool metal against my temple, a soft voice now in my other ear.
"So we have a little wannabe hero... how cute" She said the last word with disgust.
I fought her arm, pulling at her arm and loosing it just enough to breathe "Bitch, you have no idea what I can do"
She laughed, then "Well I bet you can't beat a bullet right through the skull"
"No!"
The skylight above us suddenly exploded, glass shattering and falling around us. The distraction gave me the chance to grab the gun with my free hand, wrangling it out of her grasp and throwing her over my shoulder, seeing her hit the floor and hearing everyone scream.
I punched her hard, knocking her out as I heard the turtles hit the ground, all of them taking off towards their opponents.
I looked up, seeing Leo's katanas slicing through the air with deadly accuracy. Donnie's Bo was cracking mercilessly through the air, and I saw Raph almost leap over his brother, kicking and punching as hard as he could. Mikey ran by me then, and I saw his nunchucks whip through the air, smashing his opponents and knocking them to the ground.
All were yelling out battle cries, none of them showing any kind of mercy to our enemies.
I stood up, looking around to see the hostages were trying to cover themselves, thankfully none of them looking at the fight that was happening around them. They were all so terrified-
There was a shout, and I turned, seeing an opponent coming at me, some kind of weapon raised over his head to bring it down on my head.
On instinct, I ran at him, throwing my fist forward and punching as hard as I could. I hit him squarely in the neck, making him drop his weapon, grabbing his throat as I spun, doing a roundhouse kick right in his gut and watching as he fell back, thumping to the ground.
"Take tha-" I stopped when something cool and metal was pressed against the back of my head.
Dammit... not again...
"Crap" I muttered, hearing the Footclan Leader snicker a little.
"Think you can forget about me?" She almost cooed, and I grimaced a little.
"Well yes, kind of" I admitted, feeling her push the gun harder into the back of my head.
"I'm going to make sure I'm the last thing you'll think of before you die"
"No thanks" I muttered, hearing the gun click. Now or never...
I threw my leg back kicking her hard in the gut as I threw my head forward, hearing the gun go off as well as hearing an 'oomph' coming from her.
I heard her hit the ground as I spun, getting myself in a fighting stance and seeing as she fought to get up, gun still in her hand.
She pointed it at me again, angry now and walking back towards me.
"You little bi-" Before either of us knew what was happening, something slammed her arm upwards, hearing the gun go off again. In seconds she was down, finally seeing who had come to my rescue.
Donnie kicked the gun away from her as the others came towards me in a kind of circle. I could see the other members of the foot had been tied up and were in an awkward kind of pile in the middle of the floor. She soon joined them, tied tightly to her subordinates.
Before anyone said anything, I was grabbed and we exploded back outside, feeling a little weightless as Donnie and the others jumped across the rooftops.
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-xx-x-
What seemed like forever later, the four stopped, and Donnie slid me gently to the ground. I didn't even get a chance to open my mouth before lips were pressed against them, arms going securely around me as I let out a sound of surprise.
He pulled away, looking down at me with worry on his features "I thought I was going to loose you"
"I'm-" I was spun around, now looking at three very unhappy turtles.
"Jade, what the hell was that?" Leo snapped, folding his arms.
"Leo I-"
"You almost got yourself killed!" Raph growled, pushing my shoulder a little.
"Yeah babe, that was like... totally dumb" Not even Mikey looked impressed.
"Guys, she was... she'd killed a girl my age, and she was going to-"
"We know" Donnie's warm hands were on my shoulders " We heard... but... we could have lost you..."
"I know, I just..." I sighed, looking down, suddenly feeling Donnie's hands go into my hair. It took me a second to realise he was looking at something there.
I winced when he touched a certain spot, wondering if maybe I had been grazed by that bullet.
"She's hurt" Raph didn't sound happy at all, half glaring at me when I was able to bring my head back up.
"It's... just a scratch" I told him in defense, the reality of hit starting to hit... I really could have been killed...
If that bullet gazed me, and it hurt when Donnie examined it... any closer and I could have been... could have...
My thoughts went to that poor girl. She hadn't been so lucky. Sure, we'd saved everyone else, but...
I could have been that girl... and that thought didn't help me one bit.
It definitely put things into perspective though. I wouldn't be doing something-
"Next time... you wait for us, are we clear?" Leo pointed a finger in my face, then indicated for us to follow him.
"Wait, what... next time?" I moved forward, grabbing his arm "You mean I can come with you... and... back you up... again?"
He turned back to me, now smirking a little.
"Yes... but only if you don't pull that kind of reckless stunt again"
I stood up straight, holding my hand up "Scouts honor. I'll be good!"
He shook his head, and I watched him leap to the next building, Mikey and Raph following him.
I turned just as Donnie came up to me, hands going onto my shoulders.
"Did you hear that Donnie? I get to do some good again!" I told him excitedly, clasping my hands together and grinning like mad.
"Jade, you almost got yourself killed... I almost lost you... it's not a game" He frowned, and the look on his face made my mood drop.
He was right, but...
"And if you do that again, I will make sure I'm the one who kicks that cute butt of yours" He moved his arms around my waist, and I was thinking he would hug me. Instead, I got a hard slap to my ass, making me yelp. I looked up at him, holding my now sore behind as he smirked, pushing his glasses up.
"Hey!"
"And that's the only warning I'll give. Next time... "
"That hurt" I looked up at him, yelping as he grabbed me by the waist, tipping me a little as he kissed me, once again taking me by surprise.
Before I could react or even return the kiss, I was back on my feet and I watched as he started to follow his brothers.
"But... hey!"
"Come on you hopeless hero!" Leo called, and I shook my head, starting to shift.
As annoying as they could sometimes be, I couldn't help but love these wonderful, amazing ninja turtles I called my friends.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-
Hey guys, sorry if this is fast paced and a little confusing, I just wanted to something kind of sweet and of exciting all at the same time.
Also, sorry if the museum isn't the same as the actual one :S I started looking it up but I can't find a good photo of it so I just made up most of it!
Finally, the last part was written to the song 'Superhero' by Simon Curtis.
Let me know what you think guys! Thanks and ciao! :D
