Accidental Meeting Chapter Six
Reappearing she gently landed on the edge of Donnie's staff, feeling a weight on his staff he looked up finding Annova standing on the edge. "You need to be somewhere safe. Let us handle it. I don't want you hurt." He said evenly glancing down at the melee going on. "And what kind of girlfriend would I be if I let you and brothers fight my battles? I want revenge get the guys back this is going to be big and loud." She said quietly but the rage made her normally calm voice sound harsh.
Donnie flinched at the sound hitting the call button on his staff. "Guys get some distance. Annova is about to do something." He called into it glancing at the girl still balanced on the end of his staff, flames coming off her hands licking up her arms. "You got it bro." Raph replied the three on the ground back off closer to the woods. She smirked her fangs growing longer, hair levitating like she was in zero gravity.
Gently pushing off his staff, her hands came together the flames building, her eyes glowing impossibly bright. "Fiery sonic push." She whispered as a subsonic fiery wave pushed from het hands getting larger as it went down. Draxum had no time to react as it smashed him into ground burning. He cursed under his breath knowing exactly who cast such a devastating spell. A low rumbling started then it got higher and higher until it was an eardrum splitting pitch.
Once it faded she was gone in a blur, wings giving her an air cushion landing. Painfully slow he pulled himself free staring at the very girl he wanted. "Hope you like my singing voice because you're about to hear it a lot more." She hissed out her serpentine tongue flicking out showing her anger. "I'm glad you came, its good to see you again, Nova." He replied a hungry edge to his voice.
"The pleasure is all yours, Draxum. Go play with something weaker than you, you know this is a loosing battle." She growled eyes narrowing into slits her fists shaking. Two gentle hands landed on her shoulders. "Your outnumbered just leave her alone." Donnie growled protectively tapping his fingers on her. "Yeah this would be like shooting fish in a barrel for us." Leo added leaning into her a little more with a smirk.
"Time to bring the hurt." Raph growled smashing his fist into what was left of a tree. "You have no idea of the power she possesses. She's far to dangerous for this world." Draxum called rotating his shoulder hearing it pop back into place. Without saying a word, she opened a portal behind him nodding to Raph and Mikey. They got the idea Mikey ran at him using his kusari-fundo to make him loose balance and Raph charged forward using his power smash jitsu to throw him through the portal it closing right after.
Annova clasped to the ground, letting out a pained hiss holding her arm a hot fog misted out of her mouth. Donnie immediately knelt beside her looking at her arm the stitches didn't tear so that was a good sign. "I expended too much energy." She whispered teetering on the edge of passing out. Leo knelt behind her just in time to keep her from hitting the ground.
April ran up still holding Gigget protectively, blinking a few times seeing an unconscious Annova leaning back on Leo. "We have to get home. She can't stay out here either like this. Leo can you carry her while I start a diagnostic on her?" Donnie asked while typing on his wrist band. "Sure, let's get out of here I think I heat sirens coming." He replied gently picking the unconscious girl up in his arms.
"Guys, I'm a lost on what's going on here. I heard a horrible noise." April exclaimed looking at all of them confused. "Well you see, Annova came out of no where with this huge fiery spell thingy crushing him into ground then she swooped down talked so smack opened up a portal. Raph and I sent him through it then we'll this happened." Mikey exclaimed excitedly as they started walking over to the manhole they had come through earlier that day.
Climbing down one at a time, Leo held her one armed until he was under the pavement then he jumped landing unceremoniously on his backside. The gang looked curiously his smiled sheepishly standing up holding her tightly to his chest. He looked down at her pale slightly dirty face, eyes going over every detail they seemed to get stuck on her full fanged lips. He so would lean down and kiss her if Donnie hadn't been right next to him typing furiously working on what's wrong with her. He didn't want to start up another fight after they seemed to be alright even though the tension between them was still there. He was actually surprised that Donnie let him carry her, but wasn't going to dwell on it.
Easily the group navigated their way back to their humble abode. "Let's take her to my room since I have all the equipment in there." Donnie exclaimed walking up the stairs, Leo followed after stopping when she groaned in her sleep. Looking down at her finding her brows knitted together and a grimace on her slender face. Picking up the pace he looked around finding Donnie standing by his bed still furiously typing but he had switched to a computer nearby. Slowly walking over laying her on the bed, April walked in gently sitting Gigget on the bed next to her.
Donnie growled while he fussed to get his monitor cords untangled. "Here let me help you, D. I know you're extremely worried and so are we but you don't function so well when you're stress." Leo said calmly taking the cords untangling them then handing them back. Both April and Donnie stared at him a little confused. "What? I'm worried too, I might as well stay and be useful." Leo remarked crossing his arms with a pout.
"Fine you're right. Her body temperature is way to high, and her heart rate is so low, not to mention blood pressure. I don't know if she's in a type of comatose, regenerative, or hibernation mode. I'm going to need help staying awake to monitor her." Donnie explained flailing his arms frantically cords flying all over the place. April smiled glad they weren't trying to kill each other yet, turning she left to find the missing boys. Leo picked up the cords that landed near him rubbing his face since one of them did smack him.
"Ok where do I put these?" He asked looking at the colorful cords noticing there was two of each color. "One set goes on her temples, another goes under her collar bones, the next go on the ribcage under her um bust and the last set on her stomach in line with the ones on her ribs." Donnie explained tripping over that one part a little embarrassed to say it. He walked over putting a pulse ox monitor on her finger then walked around the bed looking over the stitches realizing around the stitched together cuts was scorch marks.
Leo walked over gingerly sticking them to her temples, nervously he stuck one down on her exposed collar bone then slowly sliding her crop top to the side quickly sticking down feeling his face slightly heat up. Donnie couldn't stop the chuckle that came out, he didn't blame him one bit for being nervous in this situation the what if she woke up crossing your mind while doing it. Leo ignored him hesitantly moving to the edge of her shirt gulping back the lump caught there working up the courage slowly he moved the material up sticking them down lightning fast letting out a breath after they were down, then sticking the last two on her smooth pale stomach. Wiping his forehead glad that was over he looked over at what his brother had off cringing. "That doesn't look good." He said quietly eyeing the darkened skin on her arm.
"She put a lot of force behind that spell. Is her other arm like this?" Donnie asked getting up walking over to the monitor frowning. Leo picked up her right arm looking it over only seeing what looked like soot on her palms and fingers. "I don't know if this counts but her palm and fingers are black but it doesn't look like a burn." He exclaimed running a finger over it the soot coming off. Donnie turned looking at it then dashed out of the room coming back with a basin of water.
"Let's see if it comes off with water." He said mostly to himself lowering her hand into the water, it scared the both of them when it started sizzling. "Oh ok, that is definitely not normal. I think we should cool her down then worry about her palm." Leo squeaked a little freaked out by it. Donnie stiffly nodded in agreement that wasn't normal at all.
"No do not cool her it will damage her. This is her way of cooperating after a spell that strong. Just monitor her vitals and treat her damaged arm." Splinter said calmly from the door looking mildly concerned. Both looked at him, then each other and finally back down at the girl. Leo scrambled pulling her hand out of the water drying on a towel Donnie had brought.
Down in the under city Draxum sat back in his chair with a heavy sigh, not only had she used an extremely powerful spell on him, but she also worked well with them. Which one of them could have caught her eye? It definitely wasn't the big one or the hyper active one that left only two. The purple one was intelligent but the blue one was as mischievous as she was. Not to mention they didn't give him an inkling of which since they both were close to her neither giving him any sign.
He groaned his shoulders and back were burned badly from her little stunt. A few cracked ribs too from that subsonic screech as well. He found himself smirking so much power for such a tiny thing. He enjoyed her devastating power even if it was turned on him, if only he could have manipulated her but she was far to intelligent for something so simple. He had tried to find her family and the resistance but that was like searching for a needle in a haystack impossible. He could use them if he could find them, just to get her back where she belonged. Now it seemed his next best option was to use the turtles as bait after he figured out which one was her weakness.
First he needed to recuperate from his injuries then handle this girl he let slip under his radar for far too long. She was more dangerous now than before she left, that meant she had stopped honing her abilities. This wasn't good for him. Creepily enough he liked it and wanted more of it. Knowing he wanted something that could potentially kill him just seemed to make it that much more exciting.
Wow so Annova is out. Donnie and Leo are sort of getting along and Draxum is being creepy. Poor little Gigget though :'(
