Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
In the lair, everything was normal. Donatello is working on the Battleshell, Michelangelo is watching cartoon and pretends he is one of the superheros, Raphael is working on his motorcycle, Leonardo is training with his catanas, and Splinter is helping him. Splinter is feeling something strange in the lair. A presence from an unknown ninja.
-Hmm...
He looks around and Leonardo notices it.
-What is it master Splinter?
But Splinter is just raising his hand and silence him. The other turtles stop doing what they're doing and pays attention to Splinter. He gives Leonardo a very serious look and says:
-We are not alone.
It is all quiet. Raphael stands beside Leonardo, as Donatello och Michelangelo comes after him. They wait for a few seconds.
-Are you sure it's not April or Casey?
Splinter senses something above one of the pillars.
-There!
He points at the pillar besides the gateway and the four turtles runs towards it and are ready to attack, when someone is jumping out from it, and lands in the middle of the training spot. The person is turning around, and they can see it's a girl. She has pitch black hair that goes across her right eye. She is wearing the same type of coat as Splinter, but a little bit shorter, and in a sort of a dark coral color with black ends, and black ninja tights and shoes. The four turtles are pointing there weapons at her, and Splinter is watching her carefully.
The girl doesn't say a word. She still has closed eyes (or anyway the one they could see), and when she slowly opens them, everyone except her, gasps. Her eyes are clear, light blue... But there is no pupil... Raphael takes a step forward and yells at her.
-Who are you, and how did you find us?
She looks at Raphael. Then at Splinter.
-Would you believe me if I told you?
They all get silence. Raphael are still angry.
-Probably not, but you can give it a shot.
She keeps her eyes on Splinter.
-Maybe if I challenge everyone of your sons. I promise I won't hurt them and if I win, you will listen to what I have to say?
Splinter hesitates.
The girl suddenly looks sad.
-I don't want to harm you. I just want to talk to you.
She stops for second. Splinter looks her in the eyes but he cannot read her since there is no pupil. He sighs, and looks seriously at her.
-Very well. You will challenge my sons, without hurting them, and if you win... I will let you speak to us. But... only if you fight honorably.
-Yes.
She turns very seriously and looks at Michelangelo.
-I will challenge Michelangelo first.
-Whaat?!
Splinter nods.
-Very well.
-Come on Mikey. See if you can beat her.
Raphael puts him forward. The girl is waiting for him to attack.
-How are you going to beat me, when I have weapons and you don't?
He smiles. And she smiles teasingly back.
-I only fight with equal weapons as my opponents.
Nobody understands what she is talking about. Mikey runs towards her and is throwing away his nunchaku against her. And just before it is hitting her head, she grabs it, pulls him toward herself and sheds him. Then she jumps up in the air, and lands on him, with the nunchaku across his chest.
-Looks like I won that one.
She stands and lets Michelangelo go back to Splinter and the others.
-Donatello.
He nods and is starting to run towards her. She is running towards him as well so they meet up in the middle. He takes his stick, and holds it as if he is going to jump the high jump, but when he is about to punch her, she folds away, grabs the stick and is kicking Donatello when she spins around the stick. Then she jumps and stands beside him, and is holding the stick over his chest.
-Wow.
Raphael starts to get really pissed off so he points one of his saiswords at the girl and yells again.
-Okey, my turn!
He runs towards her in anger and raises his saiswords. But when he is about to punch her (as the other two did) she grabs his hands this time, jumps over him, still holding his hands, and throws him over her so that he hit one the pillars.
-Raph!
When she throws him, she takes his saiswords, and throws them as well. Raphael hits the pillar with his hands up, and before he can take them down, the saiswords locks them in, between the spaces of the blades. And there, he is stuck.
-Grraah! Release me!
-Don't worry, bro. I'll get you down of there.
Mikey runs to him and helps him down. The girl looks at Leonardo.
-Well. Looks like it's just me left.
-Take her down, Leo!
-Yeah, show her who's the turtle!
Raphael looks at Donatello.
-The turtle?
-What was I suppose to say?
Raphael just shakes his head, and they all pays attention to Leonardo and the unknown girl.
They both are running towards each other and now when Leonardo knows her strategy, ha glides on the floor to shed her. But she is too quickly and jumps over him, and makes a handspring. Leonardo is also very quickly and he jumps towards her, and raises his catanas. And then something very unexpected happened. The girl took her hands under the hair on her back, and pulled out two catanas to block Leonardo's attack.
-Huh?!
Everyone looks chocked at her and Leonardo is shaking her off to get his concentration back.
-Where did those come from?!
-Master Splinter, can she do that?
The girl and Leonardo is continuing their fight and Splinter sighs.
-Yes she can.
-What?
-It is a very unusual technique, and it's not always that it's working.
-What do you mean sensei?
-The one, using this technique, is very skilled when it comes to timing. The warrior waits until the right moment, and pulls out his weapon, which has been hidden under the clothes or something else. But it has never worked, because it has been too late, which has resulted in failure.
He looks at the girl.
-But this one has trained this for a long time and she knew that when she jumped up in the air, Leonardo would try to strike again, and she blocked his attack with her catanas.
-Wow...
Leonardo swings his sword, but the girl is faster than Leonardo, and the same moment that he swings his sword, she takes the opportunity to kick him away. Then she jumps up and puts her swords on each side of Leonardo's head, without touching him. Everyone looks chocked at her again. They never expected her to fight Leonardo... and win. She stretches her hand out to help Leonardo up on his feet.
-Thank you.
Leonardo looks questioningly at her.
-For what?
-An honorable match.
She turns around and picks up her and Leonardo's swords. Then she gives Leonardo's catanas to him. Leonardo is smiling against her. Splinter comes forward, followed by Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo. The girl turns around and bows before Splinter and the turtles.
-Thank you all for your honorable matches.
She straightens up again.
-If I may?
Splinter hesitates but then he nods.
-We will listen to what you have to say.
Leonardo says kindly:
-Lets start off who you are.
-Very well. My name is Yosha.
Everyone has calmed down. This time it was Donatello who was asking.
-Where are you from, Yosha?
She hesitates.
-I'm...
She sighs.
-I'm from outside your lair.
