NextUpdate: Prologue: The Beginning... Chapter 3.
Last time...
"Ehm... who actually is your leader?" asked Leonardo interested. Now all seven put on a mysterious grin.
"Why are you all grinning?" demanded master Splinter suspicious.
"Well...", started Andromeda.
"Our leader...", continued Alexander.
"Is...", said Nova. Her eyes moved to Nereus...
Nereus lifted his head and he said with a serious tone:"Is my sister..."
Together, they finally finished the sentence:" She is Tang Shen!"
Silence reigned until Leonardo finally rose to speak:"I'm sorry to tell you this,... but Tang Shen is dead."
The Turtles and Master Splinter let their heads hang down, for they were with her, when the tragedy happened and also had a complicity on the situation. But obviously the Wild Ones didn't know this...
April and Casey also looked down, because of sorrow. The Turtles told the two what happened... Both of them pitied Master Splinter and that his daughter now was mutated into a snake didn't make anything better. The depressed silencewas interrupted by a quiet and amusing giggling of Stacy. The Wild Ones seemed to have a problem with holding back their laughter. Skipper laid in the meantime laughing on the ground. Nereus was the only one who could hold back his laughter halfway. Master Splinter took the family picture in his humanoide rat-hand and ran his fingers over the face of his wife and of his daughter while he sadly let hang his head. Raph who sah everything, turned with a angry expression to the Wild Ones that still couldn't stop laughing.:"Are you now happy!? Master Splinter is sad just because of you and you have nothing better to do than laughing at him? Who dare you!"
The hothead jumbed up, swung back his fist and seemed willing to hit Skipper who could barely breathe because of laughter, in the face. But before one could realise, stood Nereus in front of Raph and held his fist in his. The red-masked tried to get his fist out of the hand of the black-haired, but he was too strong for Raph. Nerues now took a bright diamont out of his pocket, held it in front of Raph's face and said in a calm tone:"This stone is the proof that she is still alive. If the stone would stop glowing, she really would be dead."
The eyes of Raphael widened. "But... we have seen what happened... how she jumbed in front of Master Splinter to safe him from Shredders attack...", said Raph confused. Andromeda stood up, went to the Turtle and said with a grin on her lips:"Let's say... our leader is a master of illusions." The other Wild Ones now also smiled.
At the exact moment, a black mist appeared in the hideout of the Turtles. They immediately drew his swords as they felt an upcoming danger. The mist formed into a little dwarf-similar creatures with bloodred eyes. They ran to the Turtles who prepared for battle. The dwarfs however were swept away by a wild jet of water. The water transformed into Andromeda, who drew a silver sword with a blue handle and divided the dwarf in the middle. Then these dissolved. Amazed, the Turtles looked to Andromeda. But the mist was still there and it turned again into new dwarfs with red eyes. These jumbed towards April and Casey, but now they were stabbed by plant-arms with big thorns and again they dissolved. This time the attack came from Stacy who in the meantime had eight arms similar to tentacles on her back. The Turtles, Master Splinter, Casey and April starred amazed to Stacy who just grinned. Again new dwarfs formed out of the mist. Luis reacted instantly, jumbed up and hit his fist on the ground. A little earthquake arised and destroyed the dwarfs. For a moment it seemed that the mist would disappear... but then suddenly the mist transformed into an enormous black dwarf with glowing bloodred eyes and razor-sharp teeth.
"Ohoh...", whispered the Wild Ones slighty afraid.
"What the hell is happening?...", asked Casey who recoverd from the shock at first and looked questioning to the Wild Ones.
"Well...", started Andromeda, but was interrupted as she was grabbed by the claws of the dwarf. He opened his mouth and it seemed that he wanted to eat Andromeda right now, but befroe he could do so, a lightning went through his body and he then dissolved like the other dwarfs.
For a moment everything was covered in a white mist and one couldn't see anything. One could hear a quiet growl that came out of the mist that slowly fated away. Now a big wolf appeared with at least thirteen tails, a snow-white fur and two cyborg limbs. Even the eye on the left side was a black cyborg-triangle with a red stone in the middle. The thirteen tails existing of thirteen different elements, gold, silver, fire, water, earth, air, light, darkness, life, death, sound, energy and lightning. The wolf growled, jumbe up in the air and seemed willing to attack Master Splinter. Mast Splinter then swung back his manlike paw and destroyed a dwarf that hid behind the mutated rat.
"Yo Sensei, how is it going?", asked Skipper as he softly stroke over the wol's fur. Now the wolf started to happily bark as he saw the Wild Ones.
"Allow me to introduce our leader Tang Shen... but her real name is -"
"Aurora", said the wolf himself and interrupted Andromeda. His rainbow eye the started glowing and suddenl a bright light covered the wolf. Shortly after, the light disappeared again and opened the view to a black-ahired woman with colored strands and violet eyes. Though she still had the two cyborg limbs and a cyborg eye.
"Impossible...", whispered Master Splinter. Although she changed, Splinter still recognised her. She now was much prettier and she looked like she didn't age, instead she again looked like she was eighteen. The Wild Ones jumbed up and ran to their leader, but she tried to hold them back. But before one could see, all seven laid laughing on the ground. Aurora only shook her head and started also to laugh. How she missed her gang...
"It's nice to see you too", she said smiling and now glanced to the shocked Turtles.
"Are you really Tang Shen?", Leonardo asked disbelieving.
Aurora nodded and replied:"Yes, but my real name is Aurora."
"H-How...", stuttered Splinter who in the meanwhile fought already with tears.
Aurora could see that and asked worried:"What's happened, Yoshi?"
Her friends now got off of her as she made a wink with her hand. She went to the rat-man and hugged him softly. His eyes widened because of shock. She recognised him...
"Y-You... recognised me Shen...?", detected the mutant rat confused, but happy.
The black-haired only nodded and said:"Of course..." She removed from him and let her head hang. "I'm so sorry...", whispered Aurora quietly and depressed. "Why are you sorry?", asked Splinter sobbing.
"I'm sorry that I didn't show earlier and that I never told you the truth about my life and myself."
She looked up and added in a serious tone:"But it wasn't time until now to tell you everything about me."
Everyone was quiet, no one wanted to interrupt the reunion between the two. Except for one... Casey interrupted Aurora and said:"Ehm... I don't want to disturb …. but I would be glad if you told us what happened here?!"

"Hopefully we'll find our brother afterwards...", said the phoenix in a depressed tone, more to himself than to the others.
"Don't worry, brother. We'll surely find him soon, I know it."
