"Finally" she thought as she took position on top of a building facing the docks.
She had been in New York for four months watching the Foot and waiting for this shipment to come in. She originally came to America to seek out the ninjutsu master Hamato Yoshi. Her sensei back in japan told her to seek him out for the final portion of her training since he had become sick and could not teacher her. He told her that about 25 years ago he had left for New York after Oroku Saki took his family from him. Other than that she did not know where to look.
She had seen things in America that she had never seen before. She remembered how confused and shocked she was when she first came into contact with the alien race who called themselves the Kraang. And if giant pink brains flying around was not strange enough she had come into contact with a few creatures that she could only describe as mutated animals and people. It did not take long for her to figure out that the aliens were behind the mutations she saw. She now knew why everyone in her clan said that American culture was "strange".
The next surprise was how much the Foot controlled the city. She found out that about 9 years ago the leader of the Foot clan, Shredder, had to come to America to seek out Hamato Yoshi. Over the past decade he had moved more and more of his followers to New York leaving just enough in Japan to run his "businesses" there. It was then she knew she had to continue her work in New York that she started in Japan. If she could not locate Hamato Yoshi and finish her training then she could at least complete her life's mission.
And tonight was the perfect night for her to release her power of destruction on the Foot clan. The moon was full and bright in the sky and she could feel the power it supplied her filling her veins. All she had to do was wait for the shipment to reach land and she would destroy them and take their cargo. She had yet to set up a decent base to take the cargo but she would figure it out. She memorized their movements and positions and prepared to attack. Their numbers were unusually high for this type of shipment but on a night like this she knew it would be no problem as long as she had them lined up perfectly. She could only use her power to its full extent for a short time.
"There it is!" she thought with excitement as she readied both her kodachi. She then began to move closer hiding amongst the other shipping containers on the dock. Then she saw something she had not planned for, "Great! A robotic fish and a giant skeletal werewolf! New York just keeps getting better and better!"
She would have to study these two for a little while longer to see how they move and if they have any weaknesses. The fish would be useless without his robotic legs. All she had to do was find the weak point and short circuit them. But he "creepy looking dog" was the one she was concerned about. She could take him down with her strength but then she would have none let for the other 25 Foot soldiers. Or have the ability to acquire and protect the cargo.
It was then she sensed she was not alone. She found the closest dark corner and became one with the shadow and waited. She heard giant footsteps heading towards her location but she did not panic. As a well-trained kunoichi it would take a miracle for them to find her. Her best bet was to wait until they passed. She listened to the footsteps as they got closer and she noticed that there was more than one person heading her way. There was three….no four individuals almost on top of her hiding spot. They took position on the shipping crate above her and she honed in on their conversation.
"Theres the Foot at the docks just like Donnie said. So Leo what's the plan to take them out this time?" said a voice that sounded very deep.
"Take out the Foot?" she thought. So they are here to get a piece of them as well. "This must be the vigilantes that I have heard rumors about around town." She thought thinking how she could use this to her advantage. She decided that she did not just want to hear them she wanted to get a good look at them. So she changed positions so she would have a clear view of the four individuals.
"Holy shit!" she whispered to herself as she tried to figure out what she was looking at.
She knew they were obviously mutants. They were huge mutants at that. They had to be at least 6 foot tall if not more. They had to be extremely strong based on how big their muscles were. Man they had to work out a lot! She then noticed what appeared to be a shell on their backs. Turtles…..they must be mutated turtles! She also made one other conclusion about this team of mutants. They all carried ninja style weapons….which is strange. During her ninja training she was taught to use the environment to her advantage but how could she incorporate four 6 foot talking turtles into her plan to get the shipment away from the Foot. She decided she needed to learn more, it would be a little bit before they unloaded the shipping crate she was looking for anyway. She decided to go full stealth mode and sneak in for a closer look
"I say we just go down there and crack their skulls" said the turtles wearing the red headband and who was the biggest of the four.
That sounded like a great idea to her.
"Raphael, that is not practical. They have more soldiers than normal here tonight along with Fishfish and Rahzar" replied the blue turtle. He must be their leader.
"For once I have to agree with Leo on this one. Plus we don't know what they are getting in on that cargo ship" the orange one chimed in.
" Wow Mikey I think that's the first smart thing you have said all year" this was the final turtle who wore purple. He also seemed to have some sort of technical talents based on the equipment he had with him.
"Well thank you Donnie…Wait….HEY!" Mikey replied. She concluded that he was probably not the smartest of the four.
"Here's the plan guys. Raph and Mikey you deal with Fishface and Rahzar. Keep them occupied while me and Donnie take out some of the Foot soldiers and get a closer look at the shipping containers." Said Leo. "We use the element of surprise to our advantage. Move out!"
After they have moved a safe distance away she took position back on top of the shipping containers. She needed a higher vantage point to see how this plays out. She was formulating a new plan as she reviewed the leaders order. She could wait until the red and orange turtle wore out the other two mutants on the docks and slip passed them. Her only concern was the blue and purple one. Taking out the Foot soldiers worked out great for her but their plan to see what was in the containers would complicate things for her. She did not care about the Foot clans other shipments she was just interesting in one particular cargo container and if they got in the way of this she may have to deal with them.
She looked up to the sky once again. The moon was still shining down on her filling her with power and confidence. But a few clouds have moved into the area. This would normally not be a problem for her but if she had to use on of her particular ninjutsu's she would have to have the moonlight. But she had not have to use that in years her, fighting skills and using just a small bit of her powers had been enough for this last year. With that final thought she became one with the shadows and started to travel to her first objective: Fishface and Rahzar.
She got as close and as high as she could without being seen. When she arrived the turtles called Mikey and Raphael had already initiate a fight with the other two mutants. It did not take her long to conclude that turtles were well trained ninja's. Their level of skill was not something that you pick up overnight either, they must have practiced the art for years. But something else caught her attention. It was their fighting style and moves that seemed so familiar. She had seen them before…learned them…used them! Their fighting style was characteristic of the Hamato clans!
"No…..it cant be…could it" She whispered to herself as she watched. " It has to be….those moves…..those skills are not something you pick up. They must be taught by a ninja master"
She needed more proof before she made to many conclusions. She had not slept very well this last week whiles she investigated when the shipment would come in. Maybe she was seeing things the way she wanted to. As those thoughts past through her mind she sensed something coming her way. She moved her head a few inches to the left just as a shuriken hit the metal container were her head was at just moments ago. As the fighting continued she pulled the shuriken out of the container and she could not believe her eyes. Etched into this shuriken was the Hamato clan symbol…..her clan's symbol. This shuriken was thrown by the one called Mikey.
"MIKEY!" The shout of his name snapped her out of her thoughts and back into reality. She looked down from her perch and she saw what the commotion was about. They smaller orange turtle had been knocked out cold by Rahzar. Rahzar was inching in closer for the final blow….where were the other turtles! She finally spotted them. They were further away from each other than they were moments ago. All three of the remaining turtles were closing in on their injured comrade.
She quickly realized that they were too far away. They were not going to make it before Rahzar finished the unconscious turtle. She had to make a choice: watch someone who could possibly be from her clan die or reveal herself and her abilities and save Mikey. Her choice was made instantaneously as she grabbed the kusarigama strapped to her side. She looked to the moon as she sprang into action as she disappeared into a flash of light.
