Hello fellow readers! Ay ay ay! I am so sorry that I have not updated this story in forever! Has it been over a month already? I really am sorry for not updating but I was at camp and then on vacation, and next week I start school! Whoopee.
Anyway so I decided to do a chapter before I get loaded down with school and homework. Think of it as one last summer hurrah! And I think this is my longest chapter so far for this story so yay! Also thanks to the people who have been following and reviewing, it means a lot to me! Anywhoo here is the next chapter of Opposites Attract.
I do not own TMNT although it would be awesome if I did.
Donnie's POV
I quickly race to catch up with the rest of my brothers as they jump and soar over buildings with ease. I know I've never been the most athletically inclined out of the group but this is a bit much even for me.
"Guys, could you slow down, I need.. to catch.. my breath..." I say with a wheeze.
"Could you be any louder knucklehead? We made it to the Purple Dragon hideout, and I don't think you guys want to be blown to pieces because you two couldn't manage to whisper!" says Raph with boiling anger surging through his entire body.
"Wow Raph, you haven't even been leader for more than an hour and you already managed to blow a fuse." I managed to say with a hint of snarkiness in my tone.
"I wish Miwa was here.." Mikey whimpers.
"Shut up both of you! We don't need that know it all of a kunuichi battering us down and boring us with her mini lessons and tactics! We are much better off without her and if I hear so much as a peep about her you guys can go join her!"
Raph is finally done fuming and motions for Mikey to give him the rope. Mikey obeys and together the three of us manage to sneak in through the roof.
For a criminal hideout it isn't much to look at, even for Purple Dragon standards. It's basically a giant warehouse with some broken windows and slightly unhinged doors. Piles of newspapers litter the floor in random spots and the only thing slightly roomy about this dump is a poster for Bradford's training dojo in Chinatown.
Ugh Bradford, give me a break...
"D look!"
I turn and focus and I see the three Purple Dragons carry what looks to be a giant box.
"Careful Sid, Don't drop it or else you'll get it from the boss!" retorts Fong.
I lean in to hear better.
"I still don't know why the boss needs all these supplies anyway?" replies Tsoi.
"It must be important or else why would he have us go through the trouble of supplying them?" says Fong.
"Are the weapons here like you three promised they would be?" barks a loud gruff voice. The silhouette comes closer and we can see the figure of none other than Chris Bradford or "Dogpound" as Mikey dubbed him step through the door.
"Of course boss come and see for yourself!" Fong proudly proclaims.
Dogpound comes to the box and yanks off the lid. He then takes in his hands a gun filled with some kind of blue liquid inside.
"Yes Shredder will be most pleased with this." Dogpound says with a evil grin plastered on his face. "You boys have done well. Here." He tosses Sid a sack no doubt filled with money. "Take it and get out." The three stooges are too happy to argue, they immediately skip out the door.
"Let's go see where he goes." Raph whispers.
We are about to follow when all of a sudden Mikey sneezes.
"Waaaaachoooooo!"
Dogpound spots us, and in the open which is so not like us at all! He strikes for a lunge but we jump out of the way each of us landing on a crate.
"I'll get you you stupid turtles!" he bellows and heads toward Mikey.
Mikey is too quick though and safely lands over on another crate by Raph.
"What now leader?" he frantically asks Raph.
"Ugh go.. for the head!" Raph says.
"Second times a charm!" Mikey exclaims and strikes his nunchucks in-between Dogpounds eyes.
I jump over to Raph's crate.
"Raph we need a real plan, I think we should retreat."
"And leave Dogpound with the weapons? No we fight with honor, we don't leave till we win!"
"Then what do you suggest Fearless Leader?" I quip.
"I uh.." Raph is about to reply when we hear a yell from none other than Mikey.
"MIKEY!" we both scream.
Dogpound has Mikey over his back like a sack of potatoes and Mikey is out cold. I want to go all battle mode and beat him up for hurting my brother but for some reason I stay frozen.
"If you want to see your precious brother again, meet me at the Byerly building at midnight. And that means your so called "sister" too. Dogpound replies and jumps out the window into the night.
"Raph we need to find Miwa now!" I yell. Raph however still has a frozen expression on his face. "Raph!"
Slowly he breaks out of it. "I know D, I know. But we don't even know where she took off too."
"Then we scour the city, we don't stop until we find her and get our brother back."
Miwa's POV
I search the ground over and over but I still can find no trace of the mysterious stranger that attacked me and still let me live. Funny things sure do happen in New York..
I check my T-phone. Still no calls or texts from any of the guys.
Well whatever, who needs those jerks anyways, you did just for the most part singlehandedly defeat about a million ninjas all by yourself.
Except for that last one. my mind says.
Who was that guy anyway? The only guy I actually knew besides my brothers was my best friend Casey Jones from school and I'm pretty sure he didn't go all evil and take ninja lessons anytime soon. Quickly I try to think of any other boy at my school that I didn't really talk too or pay attention to much.
Nope. Nada. Zip.
Then obviously he isn't from around here.
I jump off the building with graceful finese and head over to the nearest manhole cover. Some Space Heroes sounds good right about now..
I make it home without so much as a peep and still no sign of Father or my brothers. I plop down in front of the TV and change it to Space Heroes. I'm the only one who really enjoys it, Donnie is too much into his inventions, Mikey usually tries to pull a prank or cook in the kitchen and Raph spends all his time with his stupid turtle.
I think its amazing though. The perfect amount of action and adventure with just a hint of nerdiness. This episode differs from the usual norm though. Captain Ryan has fallen in love with a space alien who was trying to lure him to the dark side.
Hmm.. Interesting..
I am soon interrupted by the sound of Father entering the living room.
"Miwa, what are you doing home so soon from your mission? And where are your brothers?" he asks.
I answer without even looking back at him instead focusing on the TV.
"Raph thinks he can lead the team better than me so I let him."
"That is not your decision to make." he says as he glides over to me.
I finally turn and and stand up and face him. "Why not Father? I've had to make every other decision and I'm tired of it. Those guys have no idea what kind of pressure I'm under and all they do is complain. Is it too much to ask for a simple Thank You?"
Father glares and bangs his staff in anger and disappointment.
"Of course it is! Leadership is not about being appreciated, it is about responsibility. It doesn't matter that the burden is heavy, it matters that you carry it! Now go and find your brothers!"
I immediately turn and leave the lair as quickly as I came. I jump over rooftops trying to hold back tears.
Why does he never listen to me?
I wipe away more tears from my face and concentrate on the task at hand.
"Where are you guys?"
All of a sudden I stop in my tracks and notice a interesting scene.
Before me is that same ninja that stopped me a couple of hours ago. Kai. Casually leaning against a lamppost with not a care in the world.
My head is telling me to quit fooling around and to go find my brothers but my heart says otherwise...
I climb down with all my ninja skill and land right behind him without making a sound.
He turns around with a huge grin on his face. "I just knew it wouldn't be long before I would see you." he says with the biggest smirk ever plastered on his face.
"I.. don't know what your talking about." I manage to muster.
"Come on Twinkle Toes, it was only a matter of time before we would meet again."
I try to change the subject. "What are you doing in this area of the city?"
"What does it look like I'm doing?" I'm here to steal this nunchaku and you know doubt are going to try and stop me." he says.
Before I even know what I'm saying I dumbly ask "What do you mean steal?"
"You really don't know? Look it's simple, I take what I want from someone else without him or her noticing and I keep it." Kai sarcastically replies. He then pats my head. "There there."
I shake free from his hand."No what I meant is why are you doing this?"
"Why? Because it's fun! You should try it sometimes it gives you a real thrill."
"No! It's wrong and I can't let you do this!"
"Well I guess you will have to stop me then."
Kai takes his katanas off his back, I draw my tessen.
To my complete chagrin Kai quickly pins me against the wall and I'm struggling to get free.
"Come on Twinkle Toes, stop being the responsible one for once. Stop waiting for others to give you the life that you want. Go out and take it for yourself."
He actually does make a valid point, Father and Raph will never stop treating you like this, maybe Kai is right.. maybe a little rebellion would be ok. It might actually be quite fun...
Before I can reply I hear a yell from what can only be Raphael.
"Miwa! What are you doing? Who the heck is he?"
Oh boy this will be interesting to explain...
Oh boy now Raph found out about Kai.. And Mikey's in trouble! What do you think will happen next? You will have to wait and see...
Thanks for sticking with me I'll hopefully come out with another chapter eventually but hey school comes first...
Until then
