Thank you so much for reviewing! You guys are awesome!
You guys might like this chapter since I made it extra longer than what I usually do but...you might also hate me for it! Lol
I don't know if I said this before but I don't proofread my chapters! Lol I just dish them out as I write them cause I'm too lazy to do it!
Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT. But I do own my OC's and Soul Urge is also my own made up term don't know if it's an actually thing (I hope it's not that would totally make me so depressed since it took me awhile to come up with).
Enjoy!
"RAPH! SKYLER!" Mikey shouted "They been gone for hours! RAPH! SKYLER!" he shouted their names again and looked around some more.
"RAPH! Can you hear us?" Casey shouted cupping his hands around his mouth as he called for his friend.
"Don't you think they'd hear us" April replied smartly.
"SKY! This isn't funny!" Kayla yelled.
"I swear I'm going to burn your whole horror movie collection if you don't come out right now!" Nia threatened.
"Alright we split up. April and Casey you take that way. Mikey and Donnie you take that way. Nia, Cat and Kayla you go that way" Leo instructed.
"Split up?! Are you loco homie?" Mikey questioned.
"April and Casey go off alone? Together!" Donnie protested.
"Can I switch with Mikey?" Cat said raising her hand.
"Mikey and Donnie you take that way" Leo said firmly leaving no room for discussion, making Donnie whine. Casey pulled down his mask to hide his smirk and stood closer to April.
"What about you?" April asked him.
"I'll wait at the farm house incase Raph or Skyler come back. I won't be much help out there anyway." He said slowly making his way back to the house.
"I'll stay with you" Nia said running up to his side "Just in case something happens" Leo swallowed nervously but nodded anyway.
They all split up and headed off searching for there missing friends. It had been a good thirty minutes that they had been searching with no success.
"You think there ok?" Kayla asked Cat.
"They're fine" Cat waved her off continuing to walk in no particular direction.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive! I can still see their links. They probably just got lost trying to get back" Cat assured as she motioned to an invisible line in front of her. Kayla nodded and took her word for it relaxing a bit. They kept walking until the heard leaves crunching.
"Did you hear that?" Kayla whispered.
"Yeah" Cat scowled looking at her links "It's Casey and April" Cat and Kayla slowed their pace to listen to there conversation.
"So what's the deal Red? You've been cold as ice to me ever since we left New York?" Casey asked. Kayla turned to Cat as they hid behind a tree 'They're dating?!' she mouthed to her surprised. Cat didn't answer and continued to watch them.
"That's not true! It's just…what do you want Casey? Our families are gone most likely mutated! New York is aliens! Ahh!" April snapped back and gripped her head in pain.
"What is it? You getting some mad vibes again?" He asked.
"I think? I think...something's watching us" April said looking around.
"Do you think she heard us?" Kayla whispered.
"I don't know. Let's just keep moving" Cat whispered back quickly grabbing Kayla's hand as they ran for it.
"This way" Cat pointed and Kayla followed her lead. They came upon a shed in the middle of the woods. They headed closer to check the place out.
"In there, come on" Cat said jogging closer to the shed.
"Hey! You guys are ok!" Mikey said happily as he waved at them.
"You got to be kidding me!" Kayla shook her head as Mikey ran towards her and Donnie calmly walked towards them. Kayla sighed and made her way to push the shed door open.
"Wait! What are you doing?" Mikey said nervously.
Kayla raised an eyebrow at him "Going inside? Skyler and Raph are in there" she jerked a thumb towards the shed door.
"How do you know that?" Donnie asked surprised. Kayla said nothing and continued to make her way inside flashing her flashlight around.
"Sky?" Cat called out.
"Hello?" Mikey said as he followed them in with Donnie.
Donatello went up to a table that was lite by four candles in the center was the medicine he had given Leo. He gasped as his mind began to put the pieces together before screaming in a panic as Michelangelo grabbed him by the neck scaring the living daylights out of him. He could hear Cat and Kayla snickering at their jumpiness. He flushed, feeling embarrassed that Catharine had witnessed him like this. Mikey covered his mouth to silence his yell and pointed his flashlight shakily at a green form in the corner that was hovering over something protectively.
"Uh?...Hello?" Mikey said as his voice cracked in fear. The green form stood and roared at them, chasing them out of the shed. The thing stopped short at the door way as it could only go so far as the vines that were holding him stretched to their limit and made it fall to the ground. It stood up and roared at them once more glaring at them through a red mask.
"I think it's Raph!" Donnie stated.
"There's no thinking that is Raph" Cat confirmed looking at his aura.
"He's all leafy and weird looking! Like a salad!" Mikey said in shock.
"Something must have infected him" Donnie said.
"Where's Sky though?" Kayla asked.
"She's still in the shed" Cat pointed.
"Ah! Holy Chalupa―" Mikey yell was cut off as he was wrapped in vines and suspend upside down on the tree.
"Hold on! I'll cut you down!" Donnie tried to calm him. Mikey shook his head and looked behind his brother in panic.
"Look out!" Kayla yelled as the figure made his presence known and punched Donatello into a tree knocking him out instantly.
"Donatello!" Cat screamed and rushed to his aid only to fall short as vines wrapped around her.
"Let them go!" Kayla shouted her hands swarming with sharp winds as she slashed as the monster. The thing quickly shook off the hits and sent vines after her too quickly wrapping her up in a tighter cocoon than her friends.
"Kayla!" Cat shouted watching her friend scream in pain and then fall unconscious.
"Get on your feet Leo and stop whining! Get up!" he groaned in pain as he tried to stand by himself.
"You don't have to push yourself so hard! You need to let your body heal properly" Nia glared at him his stubbornness.
"I don't have time for that I need to―" he was interrupted as April came limping out of the woods towards them.
"April?" he called out worried at her state.
"Leo! Nia! Help!" they both ran to help her but nether made it as she was dragged off into the woods.
"April!" they both shouted watching her disappear into the darkness.
Donatello began to wake up and glanced around the shed. Catharine and Mikey where both tied up and hanging beside him and awake, shaking their heads to not make a sound. He glanced to his other side and saw Kayla hanging motionless and still out. He glanced down and saw Raph glare up at them and growl before striking them.
"Easy Raph! Try and remember! We're your brothers!" Donnie tried to reason with him.
"Yea you can come home with us and live in the attic! I'll give you gross sticks and swamp water every single day! Swear!" Mikey said in hope that he got through to him. Raph tilted his head happy and stuck his tongue out. He trotted over to the corner where they had first found him and saw that Skyler was there tied up as well but awake and fine. Catharine sighed in relief as she saw her friend was fine and held back a laugh as Raph huddled close to Skyler and purred as he rubbed his face in the crook of Skyler's neck making her blush beet red.
The door slammed open and Mikey yelled.
"Ah! It's The Creep! That's what I named him" he told them and they rolled their eyes at him. The Creep strolled in carrying two more bodies over his shoulders. April and Casey.
"April! My poor sweet chinchilla!" Donnie stated looking as the Creep tossed them to the ground. Cat clenched her teeth as she glared at Donnie and then at April. She bit her lip to hold back the tears that were threatening to come out.
"Cat?" Skyler asked quietly worried about her friend and what she must be feeling right now.
Raph whimpered as The Creep made his way towards him and growled slightly as he stood in front of Skyler. The Creep paid no mind as he picked up Raphael by the face. Raph whined and clawed at his arm hoping to free himself with no success.
"Leave him alone!" Mikey yelled at The Creep. The Creep's body began to glow along with Raph's.
"Raph!" Mikey yelled struggling in his vines.
"It's…It's feeding off of him! Like mutagenic fertilizer!" Donnie said in horror "No! NO! NO! RAPH!" Donnie shouted as he watched his brother's form waste away.
"Raphael!" Skyler cried as The Creep let Raphael's mask fall to the grown next to a flower.
"You turned my brother into a plant! YOU TURNED HIM INTO A PLANT!" Mikey yelled angry "Let me go Creep I'll bash that mutagen straight out of ya! AH!" Mikey screamed when the Creep gripped his face. They heard yelling from outside and the Creep turned towards the door curiously before leaving to go check it out.
"Oh no!" Cat whispered in horror as she looked at Skyler as her eyes began to roll into the back of her head and her body began to jerk in harsh spasms "Skyler! Damn it! Stay with us! SKYLER!" Cat cried as she struggled to get free.
"What's happening to her?" Donnie asked as his heart clenched as he watched tears begin to stream down Catharine eyes and she struggled more urgently to get out of the vines to get to her friend. He wanted nothing more than to get free and hold her close to him.
Kayla's eyes flew open to the sound of Catharine's screams. "What's going on!" she looked around in a panic and saw Skyler on the ground having some kind of attack.
"Cut me down Kayla! NOW!" Cat yelled. Kayla wasted no time to summon some wind and sharpen it to a blade and cut both her and Cat out of their vines. Cat and Kayla rushed towards Skyler's form. She had stopped moving and now laid motionless.
"Sky! Sky! Wake up! This isn't funny!" Kayla cried while shaking her friend.
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Cat cursed as she watched Skyler's link began to fade.
"Cat do something!" Kayla cried.
"I'm trying!" Cat panicked as she tried to get a hold of Skyler's thread as it quickly retracted into her body. She quickly snapped her hand to Skyler's chest and grabbed hold of her thread twisting her hand around it and made sure she had a good grip on it. Skyler's eyes flew open for a second and she gasped in pain before falling back to the ground unconscious.
"Give me back my family! Freak!" Leo eyes narrowed at the Creep. The creep began to make his way towards him. Leo took out his katanas and prepared himself to strike.
Nia watched from the sidelines. He had told her to stay out of sight and not to come out unless he was in serious trouble. She watched him fight the monster. When the thing had grabbed him and began to toss him around like a doll was when she made her presence known.
She snarled as her fists lite up with fire and she ran to stand protectively in front of Leo as he tried to get back up. The thing took a few steps back and shield his eyes with is arms. Nia yelled and began throwing fire balls at him causing it to screech in pain.
"Leo!" Nia shouted at him as she continued to fight the monster "Go free the others! I'll take care of him" Leo nodded dumbfounded as he watched her effortlessly fight off the monster with fire that she was able to summon from her hands.
He walked into the cabin to see them already free. He looked around worried. Cat and Kayla where huddled close to their friend tears streaming down their eyes eyes they tried to wake her. Casey and April stood on the side on knowing what to do and looked as worried as them.
"Leo!" April shouted in relief at seeing him.
"What the heck is that!" Leo asked looking over to Donnie and Mikey as they inspected a green pile of moss that had a flower and Raph's mask upon it.
"It's Raph" Donnie stated.
"Take care of her Cat" Kayla said standing up and wiping her tears away and ran out the door.
"Wait! Where are you going!" Mikey shouted worried. That thing was still out there!
"You don't think she's going to fight it?" Casey turned to April. Their question was answered as the Creep came crashing through the wall. They screamed and backed away from it. The Creep shook for the hit and stood up making his way out and back towards the fight. Everyone looked towards the gaping hole he had made and saw Nia and Kayla outside eyes glowing brightly and looking absolute livid. They looked on in shock except for Cat as they saw wind spiraling around Kayla in a small hurricane while Nia stood beside her whole arms covered in fire.
"How…?" Donnie trailed off his brain no able to come up with a solution on how Nia wasn't screaming from pain of the fire on her arms or that fact that a Kayla was beginning to levitated off the ground.
"What…are they?" Casey said in shock and watched as Kayla summoned the wind around her to wrap around the Creep and lifting him of the ground and threw him against a tree. Donatello was the first to snap out it grabbing a pitch fork and stabbed the Creep to keep him pined. Casey and April followed his lead and grabbed a chain and began to tie him up wih it.
"That should hold him. Now come on we gotta get him back to the lab" Donnie shouted.
"You really think you can save Raph?" Leo asked looking at his genius brother.
"Honestly…I don't know Leo…I just don't know" Donnie's eyes soften as he admitted.
They moved quickly Mikey carried Raph's moss flower form while Nia, Casey, April and Donnie carried the struggling Creep back to the barn where Donatello's lab was. Kayla had lifted Skyler into her back with Catharine staying close to her side keeping Skyler's thread from receding anymore.
It had taken all night for Donatello to figure out how to save Raph but he managed it and now Raph was waking up.
"Yes!" Donnie shouted as Raph opened his eyes.
"No Raph! Look at him! It's terrible!" Mikey cried while covering his face.
Donnie looked at his younger brother weirdly "What do you mean? He's perfectly normal"
April smiled and wrapped Raph's mask around his eyes again "How about now Mikey?"
"Oh yeah!" Mikey sighed in relief "Way better" Raph shoved Mikey away and sat up.
"What the heck is going on?" Raph grunted.
"A crazy swamp monster sucked out your mutagen and turned you into a plant dude! It was awesome!" Casey chuckled.
"But I used this IV tube to drain all of the mutagen out of the Creep and back into your body! Cool right?" Donnie smiled. "Killed off the infection like a bad case of shellacne"
"Uh cool? Thanks Don…so what happened to the monster?" Raph asked.
"It got turned back into swamp goo. Pretty wicked right?" Casey pointed out to a jar on Donnie's desk.
"Donnie worked all night to save you. Leo never left your side" April told Raph. Raph turned to Leo.
"That's what brothers are for" Leo smiled and stood up and offered him a hand "We gotta heal up Raph, we have a city to take back" Raph smirked and then looked around the place. His eyes widen as he finally remembered.
"Where's Sky!" he said in a panicked. They looked at each other nervously before Donnie decided to clue him in.
"Something happened…we're not sure what. They won't tell us" Donnie stated. Raph knew when his brother said 'they' he meant Skyler's friends.
"Where is she?" he growled.
"They took her to the farm house" Donnie said quickly. Raph wasted no time and ran back to the house. They all quickly followed after him.
Raph burst into the house and saw Skyler laying on the couch her head resting on Catharine's lap as she laid there pale and motionless. Cat didn't look much better either sweat trickled down her forehead and she looked to be concentrating on something however he didn't know what it was. Kayla and Nia stayed close to Skyler side they bother looked exhausted and worried for their friend. He felt a lump form in his throat.
"W-what happened?" he manage to get out. They didn't answer him and it made him angry "What happened!" he repeated in a snarl taking long strides towards Catharine. He had a feeling she knew what was going on better than the other two.
"Answer me!" Raph yelled grabbing a fist full of Cat's shirt.
Cat eyes widen and with her free hand she grasped at Raph's thread. Raph yelled at he felt a harsh tug at his heart.
"Raph!" Donnie shouted as he burst into the house along with everyone else and they looked at the scene before them. Raph was on the ground on his knees clutching at his heart while Catharine sat on the couch clutching something in her hand however they couldn't see what it was.
"What do you think you're doing to my best friend! You witch!" Casey glared and made his way over to Catharine to give a piece of his mind. However he was stop short as Donnie stepped in his way. His eyes narrowed at Casey and a strange sense to protect Catharine flooded him.
"That's far enough" he told Casey.
"Are you even seeing this Don! She's doing some kind of voodoo to your brother!" Casey snapped at him.
"Casey shut up!" April glared seeing that the girls already had enough on their plate to deal with.
Catharine quickly set to work as they were distracted with fighting among themselves. She grabbed Raph's thread and Skyler's mending them together. As soon as the connection was made she could feel Skyler's link become stronger slowly. Raph looked up at her then towards Skyler as the pain he had felt a second ago was gone and he felt something replace it and it was somehow connected with Skyler.
"Will…she be alright?" he found himself asking as he slowly stood up.
"I…don't know" Cat answered honestly. Skyler's link to Raph had been cut when the monster had absorbed all of Raph's mutagen. It wouldn't have been bad if it was just a normal link. However Skyler's and Raph wasn't a normal link. They were soul-urges. The strongest link of their kind. She had tried to fix it by reconnecting the lines but it wasn't the same. She didn't know what she was doing she had only heard of it and had yet to learn it. And in her haste to save her friend, she had done it sloppy and she didn't mend the links properly. She wanted to cry.
"Cat?" Kayla asked softly seeing her close to having a breakdown.
"I'm so sorry Sky" Cat whispered placing a gentle kiss on her forehead and let the tears roll down her cheeks.
"You did the best you could Catharine" Nia muttered low her eyes softening.
"Soul-Cura is an advanced technique even Master Aura Readers have trouble with it" Kayla tried cheering her up.
"We should get her to a more comfortable place" Nia whispered looking at Skyler.
Raph gently picked up Skyler in his arms and took her up stair and set her on the twin bed that Leo had been using. He cover her with a blanket and headed back down stair. The tension was high between them and no one dared to speak.
"Alright enough of this!" Casey shouted "What are you guys!"
Kayla, Nia and Catharine looked between themselves before finally sighing. There was no point in keeping it a secret anymore they already saw way too much.
"We're Ageless" Kayla stated finally.
O_o yeah I just totally did that! Please review!
