I do not own the TMNT that right belongs to Nick, I only own the oc's in this story
Rain pours from the dark clouds overhead, slowly getting heavier. A flash of distant lightning lights up the sky for a brief moment, closely followed by rumbling thunder a minute later. The beginning of a storm that seemed perfectly timed.
Four wet individuals stand on a rooftop in the pouring rain. The tallest was female and a feline, the other three were male and turtles. The three turtles look at the feline. Knowing her only as Ebony, they didn't know much about her but the rescue of their youngest brother more or less depended on her help.
Red-masked hot-head, Raphael, was starting to get a little impatient. Standing out in the full force of the rain was not what he expected. He would never admit it to anyone but, he was starting to be afraid of Ebony. The ease in which she defeated him earlier when he impulsively attacked her still stunned him. Who knows what she is capable of?
Ebony grunts softly and makes a series of small sharp sounds, earning her odd looks from the guys. Small dark shapes began moving around on the old warehouse they were looking at. Looking through his telescope, Leo could see that the small dark shapes were in fact rats. The rats seemed to be moving in a coordinated manner. For a moment, Leo thought that the Rat King was controlling them but a glance at Ebony scattered that thought. She was smirking, as if she had planned this.
Leonardo "Why are you smirking like that Ebony?"
Ebony "Didn't I say that cats have been among my few companions for most of my life? Rats have also been companions of mine"
Donatello "But don't cats hunt or rather hate rats?"
Ebony "That is just a stereotype. Not all cats hate or hunt rats, especially this cat. They can be very useful at times"
Donnie looks at her then nods. The drenched feline watches as the rats swarm around the cameras. With the cameras taken care of, Ebony jumps down from the rooftop with the three turtles close behind. One glance told her that the locks had been changed and would take ages to unlock from outside. A vent caught Ebony's attention.
Ebony "I'm going to need a lift"
The turtles look at her in confusion, only to step back in surprise. Ebony began to shrink, morphing into an ordinary cat. Once the morph was complete, she looks up at them then saunters over to the wall to stand under the vent. Glancing back at the shocked turtles, Ebony meows and stands on her hind paws with her forepaws on the wall. Donnie understands what she meant first and walks over to her. He gently picks her up and looks at his brothers.
Donatello "Are you two going to help me get her into that vent or are you going to stand around like idiots?"
They nod and walk over to Donnie. Standing facing each other under the vent, Leo and Raph link hands to help Donnie reach the vent. Stepping onto his brothers' hands, Donnie could now reach the vent. It only took a few seconds to get the vent open and even less time for Ebony to disappear into it. Donnie gets down and looks at his brothers.
A few minutes pass and nothing happens. Silently, the door opens. The three brothers look at the door cautiously. They sigh in relief when a damp Ebony appears, motioning for them to hurry. Slipping inside, the guys follow her to the control panel in the wall. Pressing the small, inconspicuous button, Ebony hopes the Kraang were oblivious and were stupid enough to assume that they wouldn't attempt a rescue so soon. No Kraang appeared this time and she exhales softly in relief. Ebony leads the way through the hidden door and down a corridor, passing doors and other corridors. She soon stops and looks at the turtles.
Ebony "Here is where we split up. You all remember what to do?"
The three guys nod and the four teens split up. Ebony sneaks down one corridor alone, while the guys head off down another. From there, the turtles search for the holding cells. Once they found them, they began looking for Mikey and Imogen. Raph found Mikey and Leo found Imogen.
Michelangelo "I'm so glad to see you guys! Uh, where is Ebony?"
Leonardo "She's carrying out her part of the plan"
Michelangelo "What plan?"
Raphael "To rescue you obviously"
Meanwhile, Ebony had started hacking into the system. It didn't take her long to get in. A crackling sound came from the walkie-talkie attached to her belt.
Donatello "Come in Ebony. Are you there?"
Ebony "I'm here Donnie. Have you found them?"
Donatello "We have. They are in the 'section 8' holding cells"
Ebony "Unlocking section 8 holding cells now"
Ebony quickly taps in the command code, opening all of the section 8 cells. Mikey leaps out of his cell as soon as it was open; overjoyed to be free. Imogen was more restrained, sauntering out of her cell casually. Donnie nearly drops his walkie-talkie when it crackles to life and a Kraang voice come out of it.
'Kraang' "The one known as the Half-Blood has been disintegrated. The ones known as the Turtles shall surrender or be disintegrated as well"
The turtles cry out in fear, only to be interrupted by hysterical laughter. It was coming from both the walkie-talkie and nearby. It sounded a lot like someone they knew. Ebony appears around the corner laughing, walkie-talkie in hand.
Ebony "Ha ha! I got you good! Oh, the look on your faces! I just couldn't resist"
Michelangelo "That was you Ebony? I didn't know you were a prankster"
Ebony "Why wouldn't I be? I get bored sometimes and pulling pranks is the easiest way to entertain myself"
Donatello "Yeah, and freak us out. That was an accurate impersonation of the Kraang"
Ebony "I've had to listen to their babble for ages. Mimicking others is easy"
Raphael "Prove it then"
Ebony grins and clears her throat. She alters her voice to sound just like Raph.
Ebony "How is this? Or should I talk like you as well?"
Raph's mouth drops open. Ebony smirks and looks around. When she speaks again, she sounds like herself.
Ebony "We should get out of here. I have a feeling that escape will become near impossible soon"
She scoops up Imogen and races for the way out, closely followed by the turtles. Long story short, they made it out without being seen. Running out into the rain, they realised just how heavy it had gotten since they went in. Lightning flashes and thunder booms over head as they jump up to a nearby rooftop. Mikey turns to the others.
Michelangelo "Thanks for rescuing me you guys"
Ebony nods and hands Donnie four Kraang data storage device. Donnie looks at them then at the tall feline.
Ebony "I figured you were after data so I copied as much as I could onto those"
Donatello "Wow thanks Ebony"
Ebony "No problem. See you four later"
Ebony turns and runs off into the storm, Imogen in her arms. The four brothers look at each other then head back to their lair in the sewers. Ebony drops Imogen off at her owners house then runs to the rundown house she called home.
Back at the Kraang base...
Inside the last section 8 cells, a pair of luminecent eyes opens. A large dark creature gets to its paws and pads silently to the open door. Growling softly, it sniffs the air. Six unknown scents draw the powerful creature out. One of the six scents attracted it, seemingly familiar in a way.
Placing one heavy paw after the other, it follows the scent outside, not caring if it was seen. Rain splattered the dark muzzle as it left the Kraang base. Lifting its heavy head, it roared into the night; drowned out by a boom of thunder. With a snarl, it set off, following the scent that diverged from the others until it was washed away by the rain. Roaring in frustration, the creature sought out a place to shelter from the storm.
