Turtle Fan Fiction

Chapter 2

April slowly came out of that fuzzy feeling of sleep. She was comfortable and warm, snuggled deep into her couch. Why was she on her couch? She thought as consciousness slowly took over. And how come there was a breeze?

Snapping her eyes open she saw she was in her apartment and her living room window was open. Perched on the windowsill four shadows watched her silently, balanced on the thin edge. Closing her eyes and quickly opening them the shadows had disappeared. Then the night came rushing back to her.

She stumbled over to the window just in time to watch the last shadow vanish down a man hole cover. April had to grab the windowsill as she was overcome with a dizzy spell from standing up too quickly. Leaning there the events of the night replayed over in her mind. The attack in the alley next to Channel 6, the feeling of being followed back to the subway, another attack in the subway and the four teenage ninjas that saved her life.

With a wince she also remembered fainting. So her ninja fiends must of brought her home. But how? How do you get an unconscious woman through New York without being questioned? Dressed like a ninja? And how did they know where she lived?

Most people in April's predicament would be terrified, and April would be lying if she said otherwise. But she was an investigative reporter and her curiosity took over. Closing and locking the window, and every other door and window, April set up in front of her computer. Because if there was something April was good at, it was finding facts.

A few hours later, three cups of coffee and a block of chocolate she finally struck gold. And it was the easiest method too, she googled teenage ninjas. And there it was, the third link from the top: TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES.

She understood the TEENAGE bit, April had seen them all as teenage boys. The NINJA part was self explanatory but MUTANT and TURTLES. The boys had looked perfectly healthy and they didn't move like any turtles she had seen. Needing answers about her young heroes April clicked onto the website.

The intro page had a man hole cover lifted slightly with four sets of eyes looking out of it, each set of eyes had a different coloured bandana covering them. April smiled, Jackpot. On the screen the sewer lid dropped into place, hip hop music blared out of April's tiny laptop speakers and the words TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES bled onto the screen.

After joining the website April spent the next hour watching different videos that her ninja heroes had posted on their website. She watched the four brothers sneak into a gymnasium, they climbed through a window on the second floor and silent dropped down to ground level. They then tumbled and flipped all over the gym, using the trampolines and crash mats. They made makeshift walls and vertical tunnels using the mats, and then proceeded to run, dive and flip all over this mock up obstacle course.

Other videos saw the ninjas doing Parkour all over the streets and buildings of New York City. Their agility and acrobatic skills were second to none. These boys were good. They scaled multi storey buildings with ease and jumped massive gaps without hesitation. Whoever had put together this website was a technical genius, some of the footage was obviously from CCTV cameras, how they obtained that was anyone's guess.

Even more videos saw the boys doing martial arts in all kinds of environments. They fought each other in a dojo, a grass field and even in a bedroom with two bunk beds (April guessed that it was their bedroom). And the skills they had with their weapons was beautiful to watch.

As April was pouring through the videos a new entry popped up at the top of the list, it was titled Heroes from the Half-shell. There was a blog that went with most of the videos, some explained that they were mutants because of the superhuman level of their ninja and acrobatic skills. But the blog that came with this video really interested April O'Neil.

Dudes and Dudettes,

Major League Butt kicking is back in town. After a very interesting news article on Channel 6 news by the super babe April O'Neil we took it upon ourselves to make sure she didn't receive any unnecessary visitors.

Us our good luck and her bad luck would have it the very organisation she had stumbled upon was waiting for her. Any of those who actually read the articles and not just watch the videos, you will notice that Miss O'Neil has discovered that the Foot is very active here in our beloved New York.

That's right our master Splinter's rival clan is here in New York at work in your community.

But don't worry we kick some serious butt and rescued the mega hot News reporter.

So from the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES, enjoy.

April clicked on the video and watched the scene from the alley as the four 'turtles' watched from the rooftops then dropped to her rescue. The whole fight was from first person views, the only cameras available were the ones that the boys wore in the ninja suits.

April smiled in satisfaction as she watched the footage of the ninjas following her from along the rooftops, using both ninja cam and hacked CCTV video. At least she now knew that the feeling of being followed was well placed.

But the fight scene on the subway station was put together so perfectly that if April hadn't been there she would have believed it was from a movie.

The next morning after a phone call from her boss at the station telling her to take a week off April left her apartment in search for the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES. Last night she had picked the website apart and now her first place to start looking was in Midtown Manhattan, or more correctly Turtle Bay.
