TMNT: Eight United
Chapter 1
It was a dark night like most in New York city. Despite the fact it was night the city was far from peaceful. A group of black clothed ninjas swiftly and silently made their way to the Natural Musuem of History. Once inside one of the ninjas studied studied the area before them. In the center of the room was a ancient japanese katana that had a black handle and a blood red blade. The ninja pulled out a smoke pellet and threw it in the center of the room. The pellet exploded; the smoke from it revealing the security lasers grauding the artifact. One of the ninjas leap up, flipping over the lasers, and landing in the center of the room. The ninja pulled out a glass cutter. With it he cut a hole in the glass case. Silently he pulled the sword out of the case. The ninja leap over the laser once again. The ninja kneeled before a woman wearing black armor, a black cloak, and a red mask. She took the sword from the ninja's hands.
"The blood soul blade." she said as she held it up.
"Woah talk about wierd names." a voice said.
Everyone turned around to see four mutated turtles, each wearing ninja bandana masks that were the colors blue, red, purple, orange.
"The turtles." the woman hissed.
"You got that right now you foot ninjas are in for a hurting." the one with the red bandana mask said.
"Yeah!" the one with the orange bandana mask yelled.
"Raph! Mikey! Focus!" the one with blue bandana mask said, "We need to get that blade away from Karai."
"You think I don't know that Leo?" Raph said both in a sarcastic and annoyed tone.
"Foot ninja attack!" Karai commanded.
The foot ninjas brought out there weapons and charged. The turtles did the same. Leo clashed his swords with three foot ninjas. Raph slashed his sais at five of them. Don blocked attacks with his bo staff. Mikey was hitting all the foot ninjas in the head with his nunchucks. Leo kept fighting till all of the sudden he found himself pinned down by three foot ninjas. He struggled to get them off of him but it was no use. Karai pulled out a blade that was on the side of her belt. Leo could see his brothers were too busy fighting to even see what was happening. Leo continued to struggle. Karai raised her blade but before she could strike that instant a katana that had been thrown knocked the blade out of her hand. Both her and Leo looked up to see a dark figure on the second floor quickly fleeing the scene. Seeing the foot ninjas were distracted as well Leo took advantage of this an knocked the foot ninjas off of him that were holding him down. Karai clenched her fist when she saw Leo standing before her with his katanas out. But instead of fighting Karai ran and picked up the blood soul blade that had been dropped.
"Ninja vanish." Karai commanded.
The foot ninjas threw down their smoke pellets creating smoke. After the smoke cleared Karai and the foot ninjas were gone along with the blade.
"Damn they got away." Raph cursed.
Leo wasn't paying attention to his brothers. He walked over to where the katana was. He picked it up and could see that the katana had a silver blade and a green handle. Leo looked up at where the figure had taken off and began to wonder who that figure was because whoever was the owner of the katana had saved his life. He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Don calling for him, Mikey, and Raph.
"Guys I know what that sword was that the foot took." Don said.
"Well tell us then." Leo said.
"Okay according to this tablet." Don started, "That katana is known as the Blood Soul Blade. I was wielded by a vicious warrior name Sosuki Amando. Sosuki was mostly known for his merciless nature and his tenedacy to leave a blood trail of the people he killed behind him. His reign ended when one brave warrior challenged him to a fight which lead to Sosuki's death. Once he was dead the warrior had taken his armor and weapon and seperated them from eachother on opposite sides of Japan. Now there's a legend that if someone were to collect all the pieces they would become as powerful as Sosuki. The items needed is the Blood Soul Blade, the Armor of Death, the Helment of Darkness, and the Soul of a Warrior."
"Stuff that makes you powerful? That is so cool!" Mikey said.
"So we need to stop the foot clan from collecting the remaining three pieces or everyone will be in danger." Leo said.
The sounds of sirens of police cars could be heard nearby. The turtles quickly retreated from the building and into the sewer. They traveled the sewer paths until finally they reached their hme that was an abandoned underground subway station. Don opened the secret entrance and they entered with the entrance closing behind them. When they entered the room to their surprise their master and father Splinter who is a brown mutated rat that wore a red and black japanese robe was talking to a brown and black mutated raccoon that wore a black and white japanese robe with flame designs on it. They were sitting across from eachother discussing something. They stopped when they saw the turtles in the room.
"Ah boys I would like you to meet my former student Master Yao." Splinter said as he gestured toward the raccoon.
"It is a pleasure to meet you. Master Splinter has told me much about you four." Yao said with a bow of his head.
"Wait what do you mean former student?" Don asked.
"Well seventeen years ago I found him wandering the sewers. Seeing he was transformed like us. I asked him if he could tell about himself. He was transformed by the same ooze that transformed us. He had been hididing in an underground den that he found under a bridge. When I revealed to him my knowledge of the art ninjutsu he immediately became amaze by the art and I asked me if I could train him in this art. I decided to fufill his wishes and train him in the art." Splinter explained.
"So ever since that day I would come here to train before returning home. After four years I had mastered the art of ninjustsu." Yao finished for Splinter.
"Wow talk about a fast learner." Mikey commented.
"After I mastered the art I decided to past this art down to my daughters." Yao said.
"Daughters?" the four brothers exclaimed in unison.
Yao nodded before saying "In fact they're here right now."
The brown raccoon stood up and yelled "Girls come in here and introduce yourselves." into the other room.
At that moment to the brother's surprises four female mutated horses entered the room. The first one had light brown hair with a black mane and tail. There was a white spot on her forehead. Her mane was long, had banges that hung slightly infront of her eyes. and was pulled into a low pony tail. She has four fingers on her hands and her feet was regular hooves. She wore a short long sleeved japanese ninja dress that was light blue. She wore a green belt and a black strap that went diagonally across her body. Over her emerald-green eyes she wore a green bandana mask. Her weapon was a katana. The next one's hair was reddish-brown and she also has a black mane and tail. Her mane was shoulder length and a bit of a fluffy hairstyle. Her mane also had curly bangs and she wore a orange headband in her mane. She had three white spots on the right side of her face. She has four fingers on her hands and regular hooves for feet. She wore the same outfit as her sister's except her's was light-peach. She wore a orange belt with a silver buckle with orange designs on it. Over her sky-blue eyes she wore an orange bandana mask. Her weapons was two nunchucks.
The third one had dark-brown hair with a black mane and tail. Her mane was long and some of it was pinned back to the back of her head with a big brown bret. Her bangs hung in her eyes slightly in front of her eyes. Also a giant strand of her mane was seperated with a hair tie and dangled on the left side of her head. She had just like her sisters four fingers on her hands and regular hooves for feet. She wore the same outfit as her sisters except were's was light-pink. She wore a purple belt with a silver buckle that had purple designs on it. Over her emerald-green eyes she wore a purple bandana mask. Her weapons was two bo staffs. The final one had black hair with a black mane and tail. Her mane was short and shaggy with long banges that hid her left eye sometimes. Like her sister's she wore the same outfit except her was tan. She wore a red belt with a silver buckle that had red designs on it. Like her sisters she had four fingers on her hands and regular hooves for feet. Over her emerald-green eyes she wore a red bandana mask. Her wapon was two sais.
"Well girls tell them your names." Yao said while gestruing toward the turtles.
The one with the green mask bowed before saying "I am Tania."
"I'm Lizzy!" the one with the orange mask said in a happy voice.
"My name is Lanya." the one with the purple mask greeted.
The one with red mask crossed her arms and replied "Rhonda." in a simple voice.
Mikey leaned over to Don and whispered "That Lizzy is such a babe!"
Don shook his head at with a sigh.
"Wait you girls are horses?" Raph exclaimed.
"No we're ducks." Rhonda said in a sarcastic tone before snapping "Of course we're horses."
Raph cursed under his breath. He hated horses ever since the inccident with them when he and his brothers traveled back in time to ancient Japan to save April who had been transported to that time by an ancient japanese lantern. Rhonda could tell Raph hated them by the look of his face which only made her hate him.
Finally after a few sconds of silence Splinter said "Boys don't be rude introduce youselves."
Leo nodded and said "I am Leonardo."
"I'm Micheangelo." Mikey said with a smile.
"I'm Dontello." Don greeted.
"Rapheal." Raph said in a slight annoyed tone.
"Alright girls you may return to your training." Yao said.
The four sisters nodded their heads in undersandment. As they turned to leaave the room Leo saw that on Tania's back her katana was exaactly the same as the one that was in the musuem. He also saw that there was defaintly a place for a second katana that was empty. That was when he knew instantly that Tania was the one that had saved his life. Now that he knew Tania was the owner of the katana only one thing was on his mind and that was to thank her.
"Well I shall be off. Please train my daughters well Master Splinter." Yao said to Splinter.
"Wait what do you mean train?" Raph asked.
"Master Yao has asked me if I would train his daughters so their ninja skills may reach their limits. I agreed so his daughters will be staying us for a few months." Splinter answered.
"What? No! Damn no!" Raph said in anger.
Ignoring Raph's comment Yao said "Farewell Master Splinter. Until we meet again."
With that he left the abandoned subway station. At that moment Mikey quickly ran into the room where the girls were training to talk to Lizzy. His brothers could tell that he had definitely had fallen head over heels for her. Raph walked away; cursing under his breath. He was not thrilled to be training with the very thing he hated for a few months. Don really didn't care about training with them as long as none of them messed with his stuff. Leo find this interesting that he would be training with the one that saved his life. He decided to take advantage of this to get to know her.
Later that day Lizzy walked over to the couch and sat down on it. She picked up the tv remote and tossed it around a few times before finally turning on the tv. To her disappoint nothing was on. All the sudden Lizzy jumped out of startlement from someone saying her name real loud. She turned to see Mikey standing there.
"What is you want Mikey?" Lizzy asked.
"Just wondering if you wanted to play video games." Mikey answered.
"V-Video Games? What are those?" Lizzy asked in confusion.
Mikey's mouth dropped open he couldn't believe that this girl had no idea what video games were. Obviously it's because her sisters must have not have interest in those sort of things. Finally Mikey got an idea.
"I'll show you what video games are. Wait here." he said before taking off.
A few seconds later he came back carrying a game console, controls, and video games. He quickly hooked it up to the tv and turned it on. He put in a ninja fighting game before grabbing the controls. He tossed the second controller to Lizzy who looked at it with a confused look on her face.
"Okay press a to jump, b to hit, and x to kick. Use the arrow pad to move left and right. Got all that?" Mikey said.
"I think so." Lizzy answered, still confused about the whole concept of video games.
"Good now let's fight!" Mikey said as he made his ninja attack Lizzy's.
This caught Lizzy off guard so she was surprised. She looked down at her controller thinking over the controls in her head. Finally she pressed the b button to make her ninja hit. She smiled at this and found it amazing. She hit more buttons and watched her ninja do more moves. Lizzy was smiling big and next thing Mikey knew Lizzy was already making her ninja attack his. Mikey quickly began mashing buttons as well to win the game. Their ninjas kept blocking each other's hits and keeping up with each other until finally with one swift quick Lizzy's ninja knocked out Mikey's "Player two wins!" instantly appeared on the screen. Lizzy shot up from the couch at this.
"Yes I won! I won! I won!" Lizzy yelled as she jumped up and down.
Lizzy kept yelling until she heard Rhonda's voice yell "Damnit Lizzy shut up!" in an angry tone.
Lizzy sat down quietly on the couch. She knew when her sister was mad it was best not to make her even more angry. Mikey was surprised that Rhonda's language was just like Raph's. Finally he decided to direct his attention back to Lizzy.
"Hey not bad for a first timer." Mikey commented.
"Thanks." Lizzy said with a smile.
"So do you want a congratulation kiss?" Mikey asked, hoping she would say yes.
Lizzy raised her eyebrow and said "Don't even think about it Mikey. We're just friends."
With that she got up and walked away. Mikey frowned upon this.
"Dang it I thought that would work." Mikey said with a frown.
Meanwhile with Don he walked into the room and begin to panic when he saw Lanya messing with his projects.
"Hey careful with those! I worked hard on those!" he yelled.
Lanya turned toward him revealing that she was wearing goggles and had tools in her hands.
"You made these gadgets?" she asked as she place her goggles on her forehead.
"Yes." Don replied.
"Oh I was only making a few adjustments though I must say some of your work even surpassed the things I made." Lanya said.
Don stared in shock. He couldn't believe that Lanya was good with technology. He walked to see she was doig adjustments to his magnet asorber which looked like a red desk lamp except it had black wires all over it and instead of a light bulb it had a metal ball. She had apparently tightened the bolts and added on some more gears. Interested to see it works he place a magent on it and turned it on. The machine started and in that instant the magnet lost all of it;s magnetic attributes.'"It worked. Wow you're a skilled with tech. I would really love to know your secrets." Don commented.
"Thanks but it's you who should tell me your secrets. I'm embaressed to admit that I don't even know how to make a time bomb." Lanya replied.
Don was silent for awhile before saying "I got it! We'll tell eachother our secrets to tech. That way we both improve."
"Sounds like a plan." Lanya said.
So her and Don began talking away about their tips on how to make certain tech work and soon enough the two quickly became friends.
During that time Rhonda was slashing away on a training dummy. She let out screams and yells of anger as stabbed the dummy with her sais. Raph watched silently. He found it ammusing watching the frustrated girl take out her anger on the training dummy. He let out a quiet laugh but then he noticed Rhonda's ears twitched. All of the sudden she turned toward his direction and glared at him.
"Shut up laughing you damn moron!" Rhonda snapped.
"Hey how were you able to hear me?" Raph demanded.
"Horses have sensitive hearing. Now get out and leave me alone you idiot!" Rhonda snarled in reply.
"You know you're pushing it lady! I already hate horses so don't make me hate you more!" Raph warned.
"Ha! Figured. Which only gives me more of the reason to hate you! Now get out you damn idiot!" Rhonda yelled.
"Damnit lady you pushed it too far! Now i'm going to shut your damn mouth!" Raph snapped.
Within that instant the two brought out their sais and began fighting each other. Both of them clashed their sais against each other while screaming curses at each other. Splinter stood in the doorway watching the two now beginning to wrestle eachother to the ground while throwing punches at eachother. Splinter shook his head thinking if Rhonda and Raph knew how immature they were looking by bickering and fighting like five year-olds. Finally he walked away decided to have a talk with them after they had stopped their foolishness. Five minutes later both Raph and Rhonda let the training room. Rhonda had cuts on her arms,stomach, and a bleeding lip. Raph had bruises and cuts all over him and to top it all off he had a black eye.
"Thanks to your damn idioticy we managed to get hurt!" Rhonda grumbled.
"Yeah right it was your damn temper that did this." Raph snarled back.
"And look who's this coming from. You have have temper yourself if I recall." Rhonda said sharply.
"Why I outta..." Raph started.
"Raph! Rhonda! Both of you come in here this instance! I need to speak to you about your foolish actions." Splinter demanded before walking into his meditation room.
Raph and Rhonda grumbled curses to eachother as they walked into the room, ready to face their consequences.
At that time up on the roof of a building Tania was swinging her katana to strengthen herself. She slashed in different directions rapidly; only the small and quick whish of the katana could be heard. She continued this until to her surprise she Leo on the roof with her.
"Oh Leonardo I didn't know you were here." she said with a bow.
"You don't need to do that and also you can call me Leo." he replied.
Tania stood up and said "Leo hmm. Sounds nice."
They were silent for awhile.
"Here I wanted to give you this." Leo said as he tossed Tania her katana.
Tania caught the katana and stared at it. She looked up at Leo and knew that he knew she was the one at the musuem. Tania was only investigating the commotion since she heard at the musuem. When she snuck in the musuem she saw the fight. She saw Karai was going to kill Leo so she did the only thing she could think of at the time. So she threw her katana to knock the blade out of Karai's hand and quickly fled the scene to avoid being seen.
"Also thanks for what you did back there." Leo said.
Tania smiled as she placed her katana on her back.
"So what are you doing up here?" Leo asked.
"Training. A leader got to be strong to lead a team." Tania replied.
"Ha. Well do want some one on one combat training?" Leo said.
Tania thought about it and then she nodded. Leo nodded back. They both pulled out their katanas. At that instant they charged at each other. Leo swung one of his katanas and Tania blocked it with her's. Leo tried again but this time Tania ducked and spun behind. She slashed both of her katanas at Leo but he quickly turned and blocked the attack. Then Leo got his katanas between Tania's and knocked them to the side. Tania kept her grip on the katana to be sure not to lose them. She charged toward Leo and they begin clashing their katanas against eachother's. Tania leap up and swung her katana down but Leo just in time blocked it. They both leap back and stared at each other. All of the sudden they charged and their katanas clashed in one place with one katana pointing at the opponent. Finally with that they both put their katanas back on their backs.
"You're a pretty good fighter." Leo commented.
"Thanks. You too." Tania replied.
Tania looked up at the dark night sky full of beautiful stars and sighed. Her and her sisters lived in an abandoned secret den in a bridge that counterfeiters would use to hide in and make their counterfeit money. When they were discovered by the police no one has been there since. But unfournately this home had no view of the night sky so Tania would use every chance she had to look at the stars which hardly happens. Finally she turned her attention back to Leo.
"Well thanks for the training. I'll be going now." Tania said.
With that she leap down to a metal stairway and made her way down so she could return to the sewer. Leo watched where she left and begin thinking about her. He knew one thing for sure that he was going to like these few months with her.
