I feel loved! Seriously! 2 chapters (well, technically one was a prologue, but still!) and 7 reviews! God, you guys rock! Anyway, here continues!
~Chapter 2: Girl Power~After a fairly LONG walk in the sewers, Sensei Wu stopped at an ordinary looking abandoned subway section. The ninja looked at each other, wondering what in the world they were doing underground.
"We are here." Wu announced.
"Who... lives underground?" Cole asked, trying to piece the words together so it sounded polite. It didn't.
Sensei Wu didn't answer. He didn't want to go into the lair just yet. Instead, he let his students look at the entrance for a few minutes.
"How could you possibly train, here?" Kai asked.
"They have their ways. And reasons." Wu answered, before walking slowly into the lair, with his students following him. He was, truly nervous what his students would do when they saw that their new teammates were... well, not human. They walked a bit further in, taking in everything. The size of the place, the video games, the pizza boxes, the skateboards. Nya was looking for any signs of girls, but found none... so far.
"Ah... Wu, how good to see you."
The seven humans turned to a room, (which was the dojo) only to see a very large... rat...
Five of them screamed. One's eyes widened. And one closed his eyes and chuckled. (that was Wu for you non imaginative readers. Sheesh...)
Cole and Kai quickly collected themselves, trying to cover the screams with coughs. Meanwhile, Jay, Lloyd, and Nya held out just a bit more. When they finally had to breath, they just continued to stare. Jay felt a second wind coming on, and opened his mouth to scream again, but was cut off by said rat. "Are you finished?"
"AHHHHH! It talks!" Jay screamed.
"Jay, this is Splinter, my old friend." Wu explained.
"Oh... well then, hi there!" Jay said happily. He bounced over to Splinter and stuck out his hand for a shake.
Cole and Kai facepalmed.
"Jay." Nya hissed. He turned to her, only to see her indicating with her hand that she wanted him to come back to them. He blushed, slightly, and walked back to his group.
"So, these are your students?" Splinter continued the conversation politely.
"Yes, this is Kai," He pointed to Kai. "Cole," He pointed at Cole. "Jay," At Jay. "Zane," Zane. "And Lloyd," Lloyd. "And this is Nya." He pointed at Nya.
"Except, I'm not a ninja." Nya said. Splinter could detect a bit of sadness in her voice.
"Yet." Splinter said simply. Nya beamed.
"So, are all your students um... rats?" Jay asked.
"No."
Jay sighed with relief. "Oh, good."
"They're turtles."
"What!?" Jay shouted, his voice cracking.
"Jay," Sensei scolded. "It matters not what they are, they are amazing ninja."
"Oh... Yes, Sensei." Jay answered sheepishly.
"But, let me introduce you to my only human student."
A girl that looked about Nya's age walked out. She had red hair, held back with a yellow headband, a yellow girls football shirt with a 5 on it, and jean shorts. Nya's eyes widened.
"You're a girl!" She exclaimed out loud.
"So are you..." April said.
"Sorry, it's just... I've been living in a man-only environment ever since Kai and I came to live here, and I'm excited to see a girl!"
"Really? I've been living with guys too!" Nya smiled, and so did April. "I miss having a girl in my life!" April continued.
"Me too! I'm Nya! Nya Powell."
"April O'Neil."
"April," Splinter instructed. "Perhaps you could show Ms. Powell what you have learned."
"Okay. Come on!" She said, pulling Nya into the dojo.
Okay, I know it was a lame ending, I just ran out of ideas and didn't want to make you wait any longer.
