TMNT: The Destiny Lies Within
Chapter 1: Kidnapped
Months went by after Destiny's encounter with the strange woman. She started to embrace the dumb curse she now had. Every night she left the house and ran through the woods in the lioness form she gained. It wasn't easy the first time but now she ran with ease, like she had always been this way.
Life went on for her as she graduated high school. Her parents fought every now and again but no much anymore. They seemed to just avoid each other all together without much as giving the other the time of day. Destiny thought they would just end their relationship but it never happened. So she just ignored it all together as well.
The sun was now setting as Destiny sat on the porch watching some cars go by. She pet one of the cats that she came to care for. Until she noticed a strange truck go by the house. She heard a young girl scream and the men yelled for her to be quiet.
Destiny jumped up and headed for the truck, trying to stay hidden from the men. She got up close enough to see a girl around maybe fifteen, trying to free herself from the men. They hit her a few times before she stopped fighting back. Destiny couldn't take any more of it so she decided to fight back. Staying hidden in the shadows of some of the trees nearby, she managed to knock out three of the men by hitting the right pressure points. When she got to the man holding the girl she did the same and helped the girl.
"Go ahead and run there is an older couple down the street. They'll help you get back home okay."
The girl nodded and thanked Destiny, then ran down the street as fast as she could. Watching the girl get out of sight Destiny decided to make herself disappear as well but before she could, she was grabbed from behind. Fighting back Destiny kicked back and tried to flip the guy over but it didn't work. He was too heavy for her. The guy then took advantage of the situation and hit her on the head. Destiny felt herself fall to the ground. Then she felt herself getting picked up and thrown into the truck.
As the doors shut, she struggled to keep awake. Though even with her best efforts, she wasn't able to fight it off. Soon her world became black as she fell forward, wondering exactly where they were going to take her.
Destiny woke back up in the truck what seemed like a few hours later. Her vision was a little blurred but after a few moments it became clear. She looked around and noticed she was alone in the truck. She had to get out of there, no way in hell was she going to let them take her without a fight.
Destiny looked around but found nothing she could use to get the door open. So she resorted to her other form. She changed into the lioness and started to pound into the door, hoping she was strong enough to open the door. It wasn't working but Destiny didn't want to stop so she took a step back, closed her eyes, and braced herself. She felt power surge throughout her body. She shot open her eyes and charged at the door one last time. When she made contact with the door it flung out along with her.
Landing on her paws she looked back satisfied then looked ahead to figure out where she was. She walked a few steps before she realized where she was.
"You have got to be kidding me. They drove out to New York City?"
Frustrated Destiny ran a few blocks trying to find a place to change back. She passed by a few allies before she found one that looked pretty deserted. She ran in and managed to change herself back. She was about to walk out when she heard strange voices.
"I don't know how you managed to escape the truck but it won't happen again."
Destiny was now trapped by the same people that kidnapped her. Although this time she got a better look at the thugs. She noticed what looked like a dragon tattoo all colored purple. Destiny backed up to the wall now realizing just how exhausted she was. No longer did she have the energy to fight back to these idiotic men.
The men laughed as they got out some weapons and walked towards to her. They knew they had her and were enjoying seeing her frightened. However before they could touch her someone attacked the group followed by a few others. There was three of them attacking them from the shadows like Destiny had done back at her home. Destiny was impressed but didn't have time to enjoy it.
"Hello doll. Your coming with me."
He grabbed her and pulled her towards himself. Slowly he backed away from the fighting pulling her along with him. Destiny tried to fight him but she was still exhausted from her earlier efforts.
"Going somewhere?"
The man looked over to the dark corner of the alley. He didn't see anyone and neither did Destiny but she could sense someone was there.
"Let the girl go."
"No way! This is my property!"
"Hey! I'm no one's property you dirt bag!"
Destiny kicked her foot back and hit the man in the knee. He loosened his grip on her and Destiny took that chance to try and get away but before she could the man slapped her across the face. She screamed out a little bit out of shock.
"You little bitch!"
Before he could strike her again he was taken down.
"Get out of here!"
The man left running and was followed by the other men. Destiny looked over to her saviors and smiled.
"Thank you so much."
"Who were they?"
Before Destiny could answer she felt herself falling. Her body shut down, she was too tired and her strength left her. She felt herself being caught by one of them before she blacked out once again.
As the girl passed out the older brother caught her and was no longer concealed in the shadows. The one that caught her was a giant sized turtle. He wore a blue mask and swords on his back. He looked over to the other three who also revealed themselves out of the shadows. Same as the blue turtle only one wore a red mask, with sais on his belt, another wore a purple mask with a bo staff strapped to his back, and the last one wore an orange mask with nunchucks on his belt.
"Is she alright Leo?" the purple masked turtle asked.
"Yeah she's fine Don, I think she was just exhausted." Leo told his brother.
"What should we do? Bring her to the lair?" the red masked turtle asked.
"We don't have any other choice Raph. We can just leave her in the streets, they might come back for her." Leo told him.
"If you say so." Raph replied.
Leo then scooped up the girl, while Don and the orange masked turtle, Mikey, removed the manhole cover. They jumped down first and Leo followed, with Raph behind him. They walked for a few minutes before they reached their home.
"Welcome home my sons." A voice greeted them.
"Hello Master Splinter." They all replied.
Master Splinter walked forward revealing his rat self and saw the girl Leo was carrying.
"Leonardo why do you have a human?"
"She was attacked by those thugs, the purple dragons."
"Put her over on the couch Leonardo."
Leo followed his master's orders and laid her down on the couch. While his brothers followed him. Leo sat beside her while Don examined her. She was fine just a few bruises on her body not including the huge bruise that was now forming on her face.
"Hey Mikey go get some ice and put it in a rag or something. She looks a little swelled on her face."
Mikey ran over to their kitchen area and began to rummage for some ice. Leo then looked at the bruise the man caused by slapping her so hard. He was furious at the man when he did it and hoped he had a few to match.
"Here Don." Mikey said as he came with the ice.
"Thanks Mikey."
Don then walked over and handed the ice to his older brother. Leo was a little confused but took the ice anyway. Then he placed it on the girl's swollen bruise. He felt bad for her, they all had no idea how long she had been running from them. Leo looked to his brothers then back to the girl. He knew what they were all thinking, the same question burned in his mind too. How was she going to react to them?
