A Dangerous Captive
Chapter One
Back in Town
The night was dark and stormy, heavy rain lashed through the air and the wind howled. The City of New York still buzzed with life despite the horrible weather.
A tall building stood out amongst the many skyscrapers, lit up brightly by the many lighting strikes, a bright red symbol of a foot with three spikes on the top stood out marking the building like a giant landmark.
Inside the building in a giant throne room, a tall Japanese man with long black hair tied back in in a tight ponytail and wearing black and red Japanese robes sat at the top of the room sipping some saki and watching some ninja in black tight robes with the red foot symbol fight.
His eyes narrowed over his small cup as he watched the ninja fight.
"No matter how hard I train you..." he snarled softly "You never seem to defeat those turtles!"
He lowered his cup and sat back to watch the ninja continue fighting.
At the moment they were sparring and practising defence.
"I do everything..." Arashi growled "I've done almost everything to make you stronger...and yet nothing brings those reptiles down!"
As he stared at the ninja, he suddenly heard his phone buzz. He clapped his hands loudly ordering the ninja to cease fighting to which they did and stood in rows before bowing to him.
Arashi picked up his phone and pressed the receive button.
"Yes?" he asked, he listened intently to the voice on the other end and his eyes widened "What!?" he cried.
The Ninja watching their master looked at each other then back at their master wondering what must have made him so surprised.
"He's back?" Arashi growled "You are sure?"
The voice spoke again, the ninja still looked confused, they wanted to talk amongst themselves but they didn't want to step out of line.
Arashi's fist clenched and his eyes narrowed more, some the ninja squirmed slightly in worry seeing their master look so angry.
"Get back here now!" Arashi growled "And tell me what you saw! And you better not be bluffing!"
He hung up the mobile and turned to the ninja who stood waiting their next command.
"You are dismissed for now!" he said softly.
The Ninja bowed and respectfully left their master alone.
Arashi leaned back and thought hard, his eyes narrowing as he waited for the ones on the phone to return and inform him of the new arrival they saw.
Down in the sewers in a lair hidden deep underground under the City, four humanoid turtles and a humanoid female lizard were practising their fighting in the middle of the lair.
Raphael was fighting against Leonardo whilst Donatello and Michelangelo were sparring.
The female lizard Monalisa was doing some balancing on some tall plum-flower poles and was trying to do some moves with her tail, legs and warfans whilst all the while trying to stay rooted and balanced.
As the turtles fought below, Mona didn't flinch as she continued to try and stay balanced.
Locking their weapons together, Leonardo and Raphael looked up to see Mona moving and twisting as if fighting enemies but all the while staying balanced on the poles.
"Whoa Mona." said Leonardo "I must say you keep good focus up there!"
"It's an important thing to learn with Crane Style Kung Fu." said Mona as she spread her arms out and extended a leg.
"Good focus and a good view from down here!" Raphael called up as he looked up under Mona's loincloth and smirked.
"Pervert!" Mona scolded playfully feeling shivers up her spine as she saw her mate giving his evil smirk.
Leonardo blushed slightly as he realised what Raphael meant.
Mona shook it off and continued her explanation of her exercise.
"The importance of the style is to stay balanced." she said "My master always told me this when I was at Martial Arts classes, balance is the key, a crane's weakness is that it has to stay upright, falling is a crane's death."
"And Rapahel's weakness is being distracted!" Said Leonardo cockily as he wrenched his katana out of Raphael's sai and kicked his younger brother back causing him to get dazed.
"Nice one Leo!" Michelangelo called as he backflipped to avoid Donatello trying to trip him up with his bo staff.
Raphael scowled and jumped up again before aiming for Leonardo.
Mona laughed as the two turtles fought, she knew how those two were so competitive but she knew they truly loved each other as brothers underneath all that.
She continued to focus on her balance and perform fighting moves all the while as the turtles below did their training.
Suddenly the entrance to the lair opened and everyone turned to see a large male red Dragon mutant accompanied by a intense green female lizard mutant with reddish brown hair that hung like rats tails as it was wet.
They were both wearing large coats that were soaked through which they threw off gratefully
"Heya gang!" the Dragon called out waving his large arms.
The turtles grinned and stopped fighting at once.
"Tyroth! Sephie!" cried Michelangelo "You came!" he threw his nun chucks aside and bounded over to the mutants.
Mona had been standing on one leg with her other extended before her and her tail out behind her retaining her balance when she saw the two mutants appear and was over the moon.
But before she could jump off, one of Michelangelo's Nun chucks hit the pole she was standing on and made it wobble dangerously!
"Mikey!" she yelled crossly as she tried to stay rooted.
Sadly Mona was able to keep her balance and she fell off!
Luckily Raphael was below and he caught her before she hit the ground.
"Thanks baby." said Mona gratefully as her mate lowered her down onto her feet.
She and Raphael soon joined the other turtles as they greeted Tyroth and Sephie.
Michelangelo was already babbling excitedly but he stopped and went quiet as Mona clonked him on the head with one of his nun chucks.
"Owww!" Michelangelo groaned, rubbing his head, he turned to expect to see Raphael but instead he saw Mona holding his nun chucks and wearing an annoyed look.
"You idiot Mikey!" she said "Will you watch next time you throw your nun chucks? It hit the pole I was standing on and I fell off!"
Michelangelo looked embarrassed and sorry as Mona gave him his nun chucks with a frown making Tryoth and Sephie laugh.
"Sorry sis..." he said in a small voice.
"At least Prince Raph was there to save his falling crane girl!" said Donatello making the others chuckle and Raphael put his arm protectively around his mate.
Mona shook her head and looked at the two mutants.
"So how have you been?" she asked "We thought you'd never show."
"Sorry Mona." said Tyroth "We would have been here ages ago, but the weather is pretty awful and it's not like we could get a cab or anything."
"That's a good point." said Leonardo.
"How's everyone in Mutopia?" asked Donatello "How are the Chicago Knights getting on, still perfecting their fighting skills?"
"They're great thanks." said Sephie "They keep saying they want to come here, but they do have their duties in Mutopia."
"Well if they wish to come here, they're always welcome." said Leonardo and the others agreed.
"How about Gramps?" asked Mona.
"Same old, same old." said Tyroth.
"In a nutshell, all's well." said Sephie laughing at how her sentence rhymed.
"Sephie, Tyroth!"
Almost everybody jumped as they looked behind them to see Master Splinter walking over.
"How delightful to see you again!" said the old rat with a smile.
Tyroth and Sephie bowed to Splinter and smiled back.
"I trust your journey from Mutopia was good, yes?" asked Splinter.
"Well aside from the bad weather." said Sephie placing a hand on her soaked hair "It was alright."
"I flew most of the way!" said Tyroth spreading his wings "But when we got to New York we walked as we knew we'd be seen if we flew."
"Understandable." said Raphael.
"Hey!" said Michelangelo with a grin "Since our guests have arrived, whose up for some Lunch!"
"Oh that sounds great!" said Sephie.
"I'll say!" Tyroth agreed "All that travelling has made us hungry and tired too!"
"Don't worry guys." said Mona as she followed Michelangelo to the kitchen and the others followed "We got the spare room set up for you, we kinda guessed you'd be tired after a long journey."
"Thanks Mona." said Tyroth and Sephie together "That's great!"
"Yay!" Michelangelo cheered "Time for a big lunch to celebrate being together again! I think I got some beer or some other drinks for the occasion!"
The others laughed heartily and got ready to make plans for what to do during Tyroth and Sephie's stay with them.
So that's my first chapter! Tyroth and Sephie are back and there's planning for fun stuff to be had!
But what are Arashi and the Foot up to? Well, we shall find out soon enough!
