TMNT and it's characters belong to Nickelodeon, Viacom, Mirage comics, Peter Eastmen and Kevin Laid:
Donnie was just about to resume searching for the identity of Elsa's mother. As much as he hated the idea of looking at that woman's corpse again. He decided to see if she had any birthmarks that he could use to find her family. As he looked over her head, he noticed something. It was a mark around her neck. As he took a closer look, he quickly realized that it wasn't a regular mark. It was a rope mark!
Feeling horrified by what he saw, his first impulse was to back away. However being a trained ninja, he quickly calmed himself down. "Whoever this woman, I have the feeling that she was in trouble." He thought to himself. As he examined her further, he saw there were rope marks on her wrists, arms, legs and ankles. "Oh man! What's happened to you? What kind of monster would hurt a pregnant woman?" Donnie cried in his mind.
Suddenly, the t-phone next to him began to vibrate. Donnie quickly picked the phone. He didn't want to wake up Elsa, not after Splinter had just put her back to sleep. "Hello?" he said. "Donnie, it's me." April breathed. "April. What the matter?" asked Donnie. "There are people entering the sewer!" April cried.
"People enter the sewer all the time, April. They're probably just checking on the plumbing or something." Donnie replied. "Donnie, Donnie, listen to me." April insisted. "I saw them! They're in entering the sewers right now! I heard a lady in business suit talking about being behind the disappearance of a woman and her baby. I think they were talking about those two you found." April finished.
Donnie suddenly felt several emotions go through him. Shock at the idea that the humans that were responsible for what had happened were coming back to seemly finish the job, anger at the thought that they wanted to hurt a baby and fear that they were going to find their lair. If April was right... they the people responsible for the death of their mystery guest were coming to steal Elsa back. Donnie quickly ran into the dojo, knowing that Splinter would be there. "Donatello, what troubles you?" questioned Splinter, as an out of breath Donnie forced open the doors.
"We're about to get company, sensei." Donnie explained in a grim tone. "Have the Foot found us?" Splinter questioned, suddenly looking very worried. "No, but I think the same people that drove Elsa's mom to hide down here, the same people that killed her, they're coming back down here." Donnie said in a somber tone. "This is troubling news." Splinter replied looking anxious. He then turned to Donnie and said "Gather your brothers here."
Sometime later, Leo, Raph, Donnie and Mikey were sitting down in the dojo.
"Sensei, what's going on?" asked Mikey. "Not to long ago, Donnatello received a call from April." Splinter began. "She had stopped at the all-night supermarket to buy some baby supplies for us. However, on her way here, she spotted a group of people entering the sewers. April, Donnatello and I believe that those people who are the sewers as we speak, are the same people responsible for the death of Elsa's mother and young Elsa herself, coming into our care." Splinter finished. "Sensei, if what you say is true; why would they come back?" asked Leo. "So they can finish what they started." grumbled Raph. "Who could kill a little baby?" wondered Mikey, with tears in his eyes.
"News flash, Mikey. If they had no problems killing a woman, then they clearly have no problems killing a baby." Raph explained, his voice filled with disgust at the group's actions. "Why would they kill Elsa's mom in the first place?" asked Leo. "That's what I've been trying to find out." Donnie stated. "And yet, we're still no closer to finding who she is." muttered Raph. "My guess is she found out something that they didn't want getting out and decided to silence her." Raph added.
"I don't think you're that far off, Raph." Donnie spoke up. "What do you mean?" asked Leo, a sense of dread, growing within him. "I went to look at our mystery woman, again. This time, I found what appeared to be rope marks on her wrists, arms, ankles, legs and her neck. I think they held her captive for a long time." At this the turtles and Splinter looked horrified.
"When I get my hands on those..." Raph began. "Raphael. Do not confront your enemy when you know so little about them." warned Splinter. "Still, why would those jerks would want Elsa?" Raph wondered. "I don't know there could be lots of explanations." Donnie mused. "Like what?" asked Mikey. "Like they could be using Elsa and her mother as a part of a blackmailing scheme." Donnie hypothesized. "Assuming that Elsa's father is wealthy of course." Leo spoke up.
"That or maybe she has superpowers and those people somehow knew it." Mikey pipped up. "This is no time for your comic book stories, Mikey." Leo scolded. Mikey opened his mouth to reply, when suddenly five balls of rainbow colored light flew into the room. The turtles and Splinter jumped back in surprise. "What the-?" Raph muttered. "What are those things?" asked Leo. "Cool!" cried Mikey with delight.
Then the balls of light began to move towards the turtles and their sensei. Without wasting a second, the turtles and Splinter moved into a fighting stance. However, much to everyone's surprise the balls of light didn't attack them. In fact, they seemed rather playful in nature. "Gah! where are these things coming from?!" Raph yelled as a red ball attempted to rub itself against his head.
"Aww.. that one likes you, Raph." Mikey said in a teasing manner as he petted the orange ball. Almost if in answer to Raph's question, the sound of cooing could be heard from Splinter's room. The Turtles and Splinter and looked at each other. "No. No way. There is no way that baby could have superpowers." Rpah denied as he shook his head. "I'll check on Elsa." Splinter said as he stood up and prepared to leave the dojo.
"I'm coming with you sensei." Leo added as he stood up. "We all are." Mikey pipped up in a surprisingly mature voice. Seeing there was no chance of persuading his sons, Splinter allowed them to check on Elsa as well. When they entered Splinter's room, a surprise greeted them. In Splinter's room there were dozens of balls of light in different colors, dancing around the room. Elsa's tiny hands reached for the balls. But what astonished everyone most of all that the balls seem to come out of Elsa's hands.
She would make a fist in the air. Inside her fist, a light would began to grow and expand until she let it go. Then it would fly into the air. While most of the turtles and Splinter were to stunned to speak, Mikey grinned and said "I told you so." "Well that explains why those people are coming back to the sewers." Leo said in a grim tone. "And why they held Elsa's mom captive." Donnie added. "What do they need her powers for?" wondered Raph.
"Raph, haven't you read the comics." Mikey scolded. "The bad guys always go after the chosen ones, because they want to stop them for completing their destiny. Or they want to use the chosen one's abilities for themselves." Mikey explained. "Yeah, right." muttered Raph. "Actually, I think Mikey's right." Donnie said. "He's right?" said Leo and Raph in astonishment.
"I'm right?" added an equally astonished Mikey. "Well it makes sense, they must've somehow known that Elsa was going to have superpowers and kidnapped her mom to steal her when she was born." Donnie said in a grim manner. "What can they use Elsa for, all she can do is create balls of light?" Raph wondered. "Perhaps, they believe that Elsa will develop stronger powers in the future." Splinter mused. At this, Mikey gently picked up Elsa from her Tatami mat. Upon seeing him, Elsa reached out for his face.
"Don't worry, Elsa. We're not gonna those bad guys get you." Mikey cooed at her. "You can count on us." agreed Leo. "Same here." added Raph. "We'll protect you." promised Donnie. Splinter nodded in agreement. "What are we waiting for? Let's get some answers from these guys!" Raph yelled. "Wait a minute." interrupted Leo. "We can't just rush into battle without a plan, we'd be playing right into their hands. Besides they may never even find our home." Leo added."Leo! Why did you have to say that man? Now they'll find us for sure!" Mikey cried. "It's just like when those humans on the Titanic said that ship was unsinkable or that guy on TV in 1999, who said that the terrorists "wouldn't have a next time." he added. "Mikey." Rpah grumbled. "Your brother is right, Raphael." Splinter interjected. "It's dangerous to fight your enemy when you know nothing about them. For now, we wait. If they find our home, then we fight." Splinter added. That seemed to appease Raph.
On the outside Splinter was confident, but in the inside he was scared. He promised to protect Miwa, all those years ago. Then that night came, and Shredder stole her away. For fifteen years, he believed her to be dead. While he was happy to learn that she was alive, she had also been raised to believe him to be the enemy. His thoughts then wandered over to Elsa's father.
Whoever Elsa's father was, he must be going out of his mind? Who wouldn't be? Going through months, not knowing if his wife and child were alright. Would he still want his daughter back? Even, after he learned that she has "superpowers" as Michelangelo put it. If Elsa's father learned that it was Splinter and his sons that were responsible for Elsa's care, would he be grateful to them or would he be terrified by their appearances?
More importantly, what kind of man would Elsa's father turn out to be? Would he be a kind and loving parent or an abusive one? Would he be normal or have the similar abilities to Elsa? Is he well off or is he poor? But the most important questions regarding Elsa's father were what is his name and where does he live?
Around the same time, Haru was finally back in his bed. After Bryce went back to sleep, Haru decided it was best for him to get some sleep as well. As he lay in bed, he took one last look at a photo of Ingrid on the draw by his bed. He thought about how they first met.
Flashback:
"Alright soldiers, this is where the Kraang are keeping their human prisoners." spoke Haru's commandeering officer, Diaz in Portuguese. He was a tall man with dark skin and no hair. "Rescue as many as you can." added Diaz. "Senhor, sim senhor!" cried Diaz's platoon. Haru didn't know Diaz very well. But he knew that Diaz, himself and everyone else in this platoon were seasoned soldiers.
The other members of the platoon consisted of three women and two other men. So far, all of them were riding in the back of a van towards one of the Kraang's secret bases. "Why are we driving towards their lair? Won't they see us coming?" whispered a soldier that Haru knew as Ursula Meminger. "Have you not heard of this strategy?" whispered another soldier called Maria Abate."It's called 'hiding in plain sight.'Besides we're not driving all the way there, we're driving towards the back of the building" she added.
"Soldiers!" called Diaz. Suddenly Haru became aware that the van had just parked behind the building. "Whoa! we're really here..." Haru thought to himself, almost not believing it. It looked just like any other building you would see in San Paulo. It was a tall thin building with a dark gray color and a pointed top.
"Soldados atencao, eu estou dando um aviso final. Para mostrar a todos, a seriedade do meu aviso. En vou dizer isto em Ingles." switching to English, Diaz said. "Once you're inside that building, be on your guard. Look out for your fellow soldiers, and rescue as many humans as you can. If the Kraang find you, they will capture you if given the chance. Do not give them that chance and show them no mercy. Now go!"
With that, Haru and his fellow soldiers climbed out of the van. They quickly and stealthy hurried towards the weak spot of the building. The platoon promptly put some guns and hooks in their belts. Soon they quickly put on their sticky gloves. One soldier made the first move by tossing up his rope to the top of the roof. It stuck there right away.
Then the soldier climbed up the rope, created an opening in the building and quietly crept inside. Then another soldier followed the first one's patten. Soon two others went inside and then it was Haru's turn. "Here it goes." Haru thought to himself. He grabbed the rope and began to pull himself up. To his surprise, he went up so fast that he wasn't even aware of it.
Once he was inside, he pulled up the rope, disconnected it and muttered "Let's go." The group crept silently, hoping that they wouldn't ran into any Kraang. Unfortunately, Murphy's Law happened to be in effect that day. At that moment, several Kraang appeared right in front of them. Nether the Kraang nor the platoon wasted a second, they both started firing at each other.
The platoon and the Kraang were locked into a stalemate, as lasers and gunfire filled the air. However as luck would have it, the Kraang went down, before they had the chance to inform their brethren that the platoon had arrived. One soldier gestered to Haru, Abate and Meminger. Then he said "You three, find the prisoners, we'll keep them busy." Abate looked like she wanted to protest, but seeing that there weren't many choices. She quickly went with Haru and Meminger.
In no time at all, the three soldier's had found the prison section. Haru looked inside the closest prison cell towards him. Inside was a woman with long, wavy brown hair and periwinkle eyes. Haru walked over to the cell and said "Esta tudo bem. Nos nao vamos te machucar. Estamos recebendo voce e seus amigos fora deste lugar terrivel." "Quem e voce? Voce esta com o Kraang?" asked the woman.
"Claro que nao. Meu trabalho e fazer com que suas vidas miseraveis." Haru replied. "Back away Romeo, I'm about blow open the doors." explained Abate. "Afaste-se da porta." Haru quickly said to the woman and the other prisoners. Without wasting a second. The doors were blown open. The woman and many other prisoners of the Kraang ran towards their givers of freedom.
Haru knew that this woman wasn't the only prisoner of the Kraang. But what really made him upset was that there were children among the captives of the Kraang. Some were in their early teens and others weren't even ten yet! Abate, Meminger and Haru began to lead the prisoners out of the holding cell, when more Kraang arrived. "Kraang descobriu os conhecidos-" The lead Kraang began to say.
However Abate interrupted him with a shot, right in the center of it's brain. "Das ist schon genug! Ich bin stinksauer!" she yelled. "Since when do you speak German?" asked Haru. "Lessons." was all Abate said. After that group of soldiers and prisoners began to navigate their way through the building.
For a long time, apart from having to fight their way against the random groups of Kraang, they seemed to be running forever. Haru barely noticed the dark colors of the hallway. Finally they reached the exit and the prisoners gleeful took their chance to escape. Just as the last prisoner climbed into the van. One last of group of Kraang, appeared in an effort to stop from them escaping. Haru tapped into his power of telepathy.
Suddenly, much to the Kraang's surprise they began to float in the air, before they were sent flying backwards. "Entre em Zamorra!" yelled Diaz. Not needing to be told twice. Haru leaped into the back of the van and shut it's doors. The van soon quickly drove off towards their secret base. Now that the mission was over, Haru could focus his attention on the woman that he had saved. "Estou Haru Zamorra. Qual e o seu nome?" he asked. "Estou Ingrid Yeager. Obrigado por nos salvar." she replied.
End flashback
Haru shook his head as the flashback ended. Thinking about Ingrid, only made the pain worse. To distract himself, Haru telepathically closed the bedroom curtains. Then he closed his left hand into a fist. Inside that fist, a ball of blue light began to grow.
It expand and expand until it couldn't fit inside his fist anymore. Haru released into his bedroom and watched it fly around the room, until he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
