A/N. Enjoy!
Hi again! If you've read this, thank you so much! I honestly didn't know how this was gonna turn out, but I hope it does well. As I said last time, this chapter takes place only hours after 'Tale of Tiger Claw', and will be an AU from that point on. Once you're done reading, please leave a review, favorite, follow, and as always…
*Donnie's POV*
"And then, she went running off into the night, like the fastest thing ever! Just Whoosh! And she was gone!" said Mikey excitedly.
We had been recounting the tale of what happened tonight. A mutant fox named Alopex came to steal these twin blades to kill one of our enemies, Tiger Claw. But since she was causing a bunch of trouble, we had to catch her and ask her to stop all the madness she was making. That's when we got the crazy truth; Alopex was Tiger Claw's biological sister! Eventually she did attempt to kill her brother, but thought better of it, because he was her only living family. But, just as a reminder that she could have taken his life, she cut off his arm. We saw it happen. I'm kind of squeamish around blood, and I did feel a bit sick at that point, but I eventually got over it half an hour later. Not many people know this about me, but I hate blood. It makes me feel sick. And...oh dear, I'm getting off topic. Moving on!
Anyways, we had just finished telling Master Splinter about Tiger Claw's unfortunate situation. He listened with interest, then smiled when we finished. "You all did very well tonight." he said with pride. We all smiled back at him. "Although, no doubt Tiger Claw will be out for revenge very soon." he finished. Our smiles drooped into frowns. Of course there was a catch. There always was. Which is what I should have expected, of course Tiger Claw will be out for our blood and shells now. After a while, Splinter said he was going to go and meditate. We all hung out in the living room, though April seemed tense. It made me a bit uneasy too. I just hope it wasn't about...that.
Let me explain.
About a week ago, I had actually died for about an hour (no joke!), because of something that was controlling April. When we had gone into space, April had been given a gift by this alien race called the Aeons. This was a small crystal fragment of something called the Sol Start, but we just called it the crystal. What we didn't know on the other hand, was that it ended up being very dangerous. April began getting attached to it; too attached. And then she began to snap at us whenever we brought it up. Eventually, she went entirely crazy, and we found out the truth. Hiding inside the crystal was an extremely ancient Aeon named Za-Naron. Za-Naron had taken full control over April, and she had tried to make April get rid of us. She had managed to get rid of me. I tried to free April from Za-Naron, and then found myself molecularly scattered across the city! I don't remember most of it. All it was black and numb, like I didn't even exist. Thankfully I came back after an hour, still a little woozy, but perfectly fine. And it was all thanks to April. On the other hand, once she had assured everyone that she was fine, she actually pulled me aside and broke down, saying that she could never forgive herself. I told her not to worry about anything, and that I was fine. I just hope she believed me.
Trying not to think about this, I went over to April and put my arm around her shoulders. She jumped, and then smiled when she saw who it was. "Are you alright, April?" I asked. "I...don't know." she said, sliding a bit closer to me. "Something seems strange right now in the atmosphere. Like, something invisible traveling through thin air." Whoa. That is strange. "Well, where is it?" I asked. April closed her eyes and pressed her fingers to her temples. "It's in movement right now, like wind going through the city. It's passing by the street above us." By now, the others were watching us. April didn't pay any attention to them.
"It's closer...closer...oh no…" she said. Suddenly, a strong wind blew through the lair, pushing almost all of us over onto our sides. We all yelped in surprise and fright. Then, a wave of magenta light, kind of like the northern lights came soaring over our heads and twisted into some sort of miniature cyclone. It spun in place a few feet away from us, on the other side of the lair. "What is going on in here?!" I heard Sensei yell behind us. Casey and Leo jumped up, ran out of view, and I heard Leo yell, "Sensei, get back!"
The cyclone looking thing suddenly lit up brighter than ever, and it looked as if something was going to come out of it! "DUCK!" Raph screamed, and we all leaned forwards and threw our arms over our heads. Seconds later, with a loud bang that made us all jump a few inches off the ground, out onto the floor tumbled…
A...child?!
She sat up and shook stray pieces of hair out of her eyes. She had very long black hair, which was gathered in a now very messed up braid, and bright blue eyes. She was wearing armor, which surprisingly looked similar to Karai's armor, but it was a light magenta color. The fact that mostly threw us off was that this girl couldn't have been more than ten! She looked up in shock and just stared at us for a second. Then, she spoke. "I made it." she said softly. Her voice was serious, but soft and joyful at the same time. "I MADE IT!" she then shouted, jumping up and looking pretty pleased with herself. She looked around. "Wow, it looks even more amazing now than it did in the future! Just like they said it did!"
Okay, this was getting pretty confusing. One second, everything is perfectly normal, next second...this. Whatever it was, it was definitely confusing me, and everyone else.
Suddenly, the miniature cyclone (yes, it was still there), turned a light powder blue and began making some funny noises. "Uh oh!" said the girl. She turned to the rest of us and shouted, "BRACE YOU'RESELVES!" We all went into the same positions as before. That is, until an absolutely tiny explosion comes from it, then fizzles out afterwards. We all stood back up. Then the girl sighed in what sounded like relief. "Oh, here she comes." another enormous bang sounded from the portal (that's what I could now identify it as), and out came another girl. She did a somersault onto the floor then sat up, pumping her fists into the air. "And she sticks the landing!" she yelled, jumping up. We had all jumped again at the last bang, so we were a little shaken.
This girl looked almost exactly like the other one. They were the exact same height, and they had the same long black hair. But there were many differences too. While the first girl had misty blue eyes, the second one's eyes were a dark emerald green. The first girl's hair was in a long braid going down her back, but the seconds girl's hair was in two braids, flowing down her shoulders. The second one had on the same armor as her companion, but this armor was a very light powder blue. That's when I saw the symbol on her chest.
"Hey!" I started. "How in the world-" But before I could finish, the portal changed color for the last time, this time lavender. We all dropped to the floor one last time, and a third little girl came flying out. Her first two companions rushed to catch her, in which they succeeded. Once she had stood upright, the portal behind her closed.
The last girl was definitely the smallest one, barely older than seven. She also had long hair, but hers was bright red, and her eyes were a deep brown. There were freckles sprinkled across her nose and cheeks, and she was, exactly like the two older girls, wearing the exact same armor, only hers was lavender.
There was something about these girls. Something that radiated as very familiar to me at all sides. But as much as I tried to identify the feeling and pin it down, I just couldn't.
For a few minutes, we just stared at each other. They were on the opposite side of the room. The rest of my family came up behind me. April seemed the most bewildered about them too. Somehow, we both knew we should know them, but we didn't. On the other side of the living room, I could see that in all three of the girls' eyes, there were small tears, threatening to come crashing down their cheeks. Finally, the first girl worked up some willpower, dried her eyes, and stepped forwards.
"Hello everyone. My name is Baylee. Baylee Jennifer Hamato." Wait, what?! Her last name was Hamato?! But how?! I looked at the rest of my family members, and they all looked shocked. But we didn't have very much time to comprehend this, because the second girl was stepping forwards. "My name," she said, "is Amanda. Amanda Monica Hamato. Baylee and I are twins. We are ten years old." Finally, the little girl with red hair came forwards. "My name is Scarlet Ivy Hamato. I'm seven, and the youngest. We're all sisters, and we came from the future!" she said happily.
We all just stared with our mouths wide open. The future? But then why did they have our last name?!
Baylee and Amanda went to cover their sister's mouth with their hands, but they could tell from the looks on our faces that we had heard what she said. Baylee looked sheepish. Um...we have some explaining to do. Should we go to the dojo?"
Sensei stepped forward and took control of the situation. "Girls, you and I will go into the dojo and talk for a while. Everyone else, on the other hand, will stay out here until I figure out what's going on."
'What?!" we all shouted. How come we didn't get to go in?! I didn't think that was very fair. But no matter how hard we protested, he still ended slamming the dojo door in our faces. We all went back to the couch and sat down to wait it out.
Almost two hours later, the four of them re-emerged. Scarlet, the little girl with the red hair, was holding Sensei's hand. My eyes widened a bit, but the look Sensei gave me said to clearly not say anything. I sighed. As if this day couldn't get any more confusing!
"Everyone, Baylee, Amanda, and Scarlet will be staying with us until they are needed back in their own time and have completed their mission. I suggest you all go prepare one of the guest rooms for them, okay?" asked Sensei. We all nodded and said, "Yes, Sensei." As we were gathering our stuff, I noticed that Baylee was giving me a strange look. I decided to go over to her. "Hi. Is something wrong? Because I thought you were giving me a weird look and thought something was wrong." I said to her.
When I started speaking to her, she had jumped, then looked up at me really fast. Her blue eyes were filled with surprise. Then, she quickly shook her head. "Nothing. Nothing's wrong." she said, then took one of her bags and carried it off to her room. I hesitated for a second, then followed. But something still bothered me. Something was strange about these girls. That's when I realized it.
Baylee's blue eyes. Amanda's green eyes. Scarlet's brown eyes. I had seen them all before somewhere. But...where?
A/N. Stay tuned! ;)
Oh, man. I hope that wasn't too quick. I'm trying to update my fanfictions more quickly now. So, I don't have much to say about this, but, how did everybody like that? Please let me know. Once you're done reading, leave a review (pretty please?), favorite, follow, and as always…
