Second chappie! Oh, and I want to thank tmntsushigirl for reviewing!
Happy Mutation Day?
''Happy Mutation Day!'' We all cheered. I looked around at the people sitting at the table, four mutant turtles and a mutant rat. In fact, I've been with them for such a long time that I considered the seemingly disgusting and horrible mutants as my only family.
I might sound crazy if I said I was the only human here, but when living in the sewers, anything is possible. Even if I said we were all trained ninjas.
There was Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo, all four mutant turtles. There was also our sensei and adoptive father, Hamato Yoshi, a giant mutant rat.
We were seemingly enjoying a meal that everyone but I ate regularly. I tried not to look at the mound of sickly green algae sitting on top of a plate, but I cringed as I saw worms crawl through it. Why did sensei have to put that on a perfectly clean plate? I had to clean everything up after this, and it was simply disgusting.
I rested my head in my hand, looking at the floor as I twirled my platinum blonde hair. My brothers had always teased me about how I looked different; I had Sapphire blue eyes and blonde hair that was nearly white. I always wore my hair in a ponytail that went down to my lower back. I was also taller than everyone else, towering over them as we trained in ninjitsu. I wished I could go up to the surface again. I loved the warmth of the sun on my skin and the ability to walk around normal people. However, it was my brothers' 15th mutation day, and this day meant a lot to my family.
''Now, who wants cake?'' Mikey cheerfully asked, holding up a green and blue swirled mass of algae shaped like a cake.
''Whoa, it's an actual cake! Made out of algae!'' Donnie said.
''And worms.'' Raph added in at the sight of the worms crawling through it.
''But who doesn't like cake?!'' I retorted at Raph's harsh remark.
''If it's made out of worms and algae, Cammy.'' Raph retorted.
"You still can't beat cake, Raph." I replied. Raphael rolled his eyes in response.
''So, what's the icing made out of?'' Leo questioned.
''You… don't wanna know.'' Mikey said.
''I'll try it!'' I volunteered. I looked around the table to see my four brothers giving me a confused glare.
''Uh, I don't think you should…'' Mikey answered, putting the cake away quickly.
''Ugh, fine.'' I mumbled. All of us looked towards sensei.
''Tell us the mutation story, sensei! Please?'' Mikey begged. "Please? It's an awesome story!"
''Please, sensei. It's the only way to shut Mikey up!'' Raph pleaded as he slapped his hand over Mikey's mouth, muffling Mikey's begs to listen to that boring story again.
Finally, when sensei was finished telling the story, Leo said, ''So, sensei. Now that we're 15, don't you think we could go up to the surface?''
"Yes..." Everyone smiled hopefully, but I knew better. "And no." The turtles cringed at sensei's reply. I felt as if I were the only one that understood what sensei thought of the surface world. He never mentioned that he hasn't been up to the surface since his mutation. I immediately expected a long persuasive conversation to go on after this.
XXXXX
When we finally got up to the surface, the turtles scattered to do their sightseeing, leaving me in the alley where we surfaced. I still couldn't believe they won sensei over and got to go up to the surface. I simply watched as they ran from place to place like children in a candy shop.
Before I knew it, the four terrapins were standing in the middle of a surprisingly empty street.
''Uhh, guys? I don't think you should be in the-'' I started but was cut off by a motorcycle engine. "Middle of the street..." I managed to murmur as Raph made a scary face and growled at the person riding the motorcycle. Scared of the horrible mutant he just saw, the guy drove off swiftly. I immediately ran out to them, throwing endless warnings and insults as I went.
''We're too exposed out here.'' Leo finally announced as he looked up at the roof of a building and motioned toward it. We followed his lead. However, Right before I was about to go, I tripped over something and landed on my face.
"OW!" I yelled. I jumped back up, looking at a Pizza box lying on the ground. I automatically assumed that the guy in the motorcycle had dropped it. "Hmmm, he must've been the pizza guy." I murmured as I picked up the box. I carried it up to the roof with me.
"Cam, what is that?" Leo asked, pointing to the Pizza box.
"Guess. I dare you." I said when I got up to the roof. I plopped the box on one of the pipes coming out of the roof as everyone gaped at it. "It's a luxury that all of us surface dwellers enjoy." I added semi-sarcastically.
"It's Pizzzzzzzzzzzuh?" Donnie said, trying to read the name on the box. The other three shrugged in reply. They continued throwing random guesses as I enjoyed their frustration.
"Open it." I commanded authoritatively. I loved the feeling of knowing something that no one else knew; it made me feel somewhat better than everyone else. Dramatic irony was what Donnie considered it.
"Come on, it won't hurt you." I added. Leonardo slowly lifted the lid as if it were something precious.
"I think it's... food?'' Donnie mumbled, surprised. They continued gaping over it.
"I'll try it!'' Mikey finally volunteered. Mikey's always the one to volunteer for anything. He picked up a slice and slowly bit into it, obviously registering the delicious flavors.
"Good, right?'' I asked. Then every one dove for it.
"Hey! Leave some for me!'' I shouted as I dove for the last piece. The whole pizza was gone in only a matter of seconds.
"Okay, we're going to need a lot more pizza.'' I told them.
''I love it up here!'' Mikey screamed, unaware of the many people he was probably waking up. We then raced each other across the rooftops, jumping from roof to roof. We all reached the parapet that looked over a street corner at the same time, so nobody won.
"Okay, I think it's time we all go home, now.'' Leo said authoritatively.
''Oh, come on!'' I retorted.
''We've only been up here for an hour and we're already going back?'' I added. We all turned away despite my retort and headed back as if Leo were the leader. However, Donatello seemed to have his attention elsewhere.
''Donnie, snap out of it! Capitan of chaos here wants us to go home!'' Raph yelled pretty much into his ear.
"She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen!'' Donnie said with drool pouring out of his mouth.
"Snap out of it!'' I screamed as irate as I can get. I hit him upside his head with the back of my scythe.
"Look!'' Donnie pointed to a girl and her dad walking down the sidewalk. I was about to drag him home by his mask when a white van with a strange logo on the back pulled up and three identical men jumped out.
''We gotta save them!'' Donnie yelled, lunging forward but I caught him by the mask accidentally.
''Ow, ow, ow!'' Donnie continued but I ignored him.
''Why don't we go pound these guys?'' I said, letting go to crack my knuckles, thus making Donnie nearly fall off the edge of the building.
''Yeah, let's go bust some heads!'' Raph added.
''But-'' Leo started. However, the rest of us jumped down to street level so we didn't hear the rest. When I got to the strange men, I immediately found myself surrounded by three of them.
"Alright, then! You obviously don't care about your own safety!'' I announced as I got into my fighting stance. However, before I could do anything, something fell on top of me, pushing me forward. I fell down, making the dirt and grimthin the pavement leave an imprint on my face.
''Raphael!'' I shouted. He instantly jumped back up, obviously embarrassed by his act of clumsiness. As soon as I got up after him, one of those men put me in a headlock. More of the men surrounded Raph, leaving me alone to fend for myself.
"Cam!" Raph yelled as he fought the others surrounding him. He couldn't help anything but himself as he watched the man begin to drag me away. Man, were they strong! I tried to jerk around or imbalance him, but the strange man was like a machine. I couldn't move him at all. Hos feet stayed planted on the ground and his arms were locked in the same position.
I then saw Raph running towards me, bringing his arm back with his sai in hand. I closed my eyes as I felt a loud thud and the grip that the man had on me loosen, and then the man fell to the ground with me wrapped in his arms. I opened my eyes again to see Raph wrenching the seemingly unconscious man's arms away. It took only a second, but as soon as I stood up I saw a flash of katana blade in the dim streetlight. Raph turned around only to get both of Leo's katana in the back of his shell. I tried to remain serious, but I simply couldn't. I burst into laughter as I kicked down one of the strange men. I continued laughing until someone cut me off.
''Cammy, look out!" I heard Mikey scream. I ducked as I saw my scythe fly by where my head was, nearly cutting off the end of my ponytail. I ran a hand through my ponytail to make sure my hair was still okay. I ran over to my scythe, picked it up, and but it back in it's holder strapped to my back. I looked to my right just in time to receive a painful blow to my head caused by Donnie's bo staff.
"Hamato Donatello! What the heck are you doing?" I screamed as I threw the staff back towards him. I held my head, starting to feel dizzy. I took a few steps forward and found myself in an empty alley, facing one of the men.
"So you wanna fight?'' I asked as I held up my fists awkwardly. I felt more comfortable with my scythe, but I didn't want to hurt anyone badly. As soon as my foot hit his side I heard an almost metallic thud and felt an enormous amount of pain course through my foot.
''Ow! Ow! Ow!'' I whined as I held my foot and bounced on the other. Then I took out my scythe and swung the blade at him, making him dodge. I swung again, and this time, I snagged his arm. My eyes widened in fear as a series of electrical sparks came from his arm, but I didn't see anything else as I ran, screaming, waving my arms crazily in the air. I just saw the weirdest thing in my whole life. Yet.
''ROBOT! ROBOT! ROBOTS ARE EVERYWHERE!'' I screamed as soon as I caught up to the turtles.
''What robot?'' Raph asked with a more angry than confused look on his face.
''That's just what I was saying!'' Mikey yelled, just as crazy as I just was. I was almost completely calm once more when Leo stepped forward and slapped me in the face.
''What was that for?'' I almost screamed, now extremely confused.
''Leo did the same thing to me.'' Mikey explained as the rest of them were walking away.
''Oh, come on. You were nearly strangled by one of those guys.'' Raph told me.
''You also might be injured from when you decided to hit yourself with my bo staff.'' Donnie told me. My other three brothers laughed.
"No, you just decided to fling your oh-so fancy staffy thingy at my face!" I retorted, and then crossed my arms at the hysterical laughing that followed. I officially condemned myself to silence for the whole way home.

Okay, now that this is over with, next chappie will be up soon!
