Ugh...this is the last chapter I have prepared so far... I'm working on the next chapter, but its going slowly because my parents keep making me do things all over the place and i have school coming up and everything. Its just...gahh! Its so frustrating .
Anyways, you wanted to read Tracy training with someone, right? Well, here's the chapter! Though...Raph just had to ruin it for her. *shakes head disapprovingly. Lots of yelling and threats in this one XD I hope you like it.
Enjoy!~
Splinter stood watching as the turtle brothers and Tracy moved slowly through a form. Well, Raph moved kind of fast. Tracy focused mainly on her training whenever she was and tried to do it exactly right the first time. Sometimes she got it on the first try, and sometimes it took a little longer for her to learn.
"What, are you fighting a guy in slow motion?" Raph asked Leo.
"I could do it faster if I ignored my form, like you," Leo stated matter-of-factly.
"Ignore this form!" Raph leaped at Leo and tried to attack him. Tracy sighed heavily and dropped her form to move out of the way, going to stand on the other side of Donnie.
Splinter walked over and pressed a pressure point below Leo's and Raph's jaws before letting them drop to the ground. "Competition is an excellent motivator, but not when it turns you against each other," he told them. He watched them get up before continuing. "So now, you will spar two-on-two. Tracy, sit this one out."
Tracy shrugged and went to sit down on one side of the room. She watched as Leo crossed his arms with a smirk.
"Okay, I'll take Donnie-"
"You will take Raphael," Splinter told Leo, making both turtles exchange a glance. "You two must focus on working together, not competing with each other."
"Okay, so me and Raph," Leo began, pointing to himself and then his hot-tempered brother, "against Mikey and Donnie." He chuckled. "Uh, isn't that a little unfair?"
That got said brothers' attention. "Wait, what are trying to say," Donnie asked.
"Um, how can I put this gently?" Raph asked thoughtfully. "We're…way better than you guys."
"Psh," Mikey said. "At fighting maybe."
Raph snorted, "Uh, that's what I meant."
An angry tick mark appeared on Donnie's head. "Oh? Fine," Mikey answered.
Tracy and Splinter watched as Raph and Leo faced Donnie and Mikey.
"Hajime!"
Tracy watched intently as Donnie and Mikey got beaten up by their brothers. Leo and Raph did a high-three before switching targets, still beating up their brothers. Donnie and Mikey lay on the ground, dazed and beaten by their brothers.
"Yame!"
"You were right, Sensei," Raph said. "Working together is fun!" Tracy rolled her blue eyes.
-TMNT-
"Look, guys," Leo said. "Raph and I may be better fighters, but you're still an important part of this team."
"As important as you two?" Donnie asked, obviously still irritated.
Tracy quirked a brow as Leo and Raph exchanged a glance. "Uh, very important. We shouldn't compare ourselves, it's like apples and oranges."
"Yeah, if apples were way better, which they are," Raph muttered.
"So, the truth comes out," Donnie said, raising a finger.
"You guys think of us as some kind of…B-Team," Mikey added.
"Good one, Dr. Naminstein! We'll call you the B-Team," Raph announced. Tracy rolled her eyes.
"Thanks!" Mikey smiled and crossed his arms before he realized what Raph said. "I mean hey…"
"There's no shame in it," Leo told them. "Look, they've got a B-Team, too!" He pointed to his Space-Heroes show. It showed a "B-Team" get destroyed almost instantly while Captain Ryan didn't care one bit.
Tracy narrowed her eyes. "That…is a very bad example, genius," she told Leo lowly, her voice almost betraying a faint hiss as she lashed her tail back and forth.
"Thanks a lot," Donnie said as he leaned back with his arms crossed.
"The point is, they had an important function," Leo chuckled, taking a bite of his pizza.
"Okay, I've had enough of this family feud," Tracy announced as she lashed her tail a few more times. "I need something more…productive to waste my time."
As if on cue, April walked in with her arms wrapped around herself. Tracy flicked an ear before everyone walked over to her.
"April," Donnie exclaimed. "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"I just got mugged by some Purple Dragons," April explained. "They stole my phone."
"Don't worry, we'll kick their butts for you," Leo told her.
"Yeah, we'll teach those punks to mess with April O'Neil," Raph added, punching a fist into his other hand.
"Guys, it's just a phone," April told them reassuringly. "I'll get another one."
"Come on. What's the point of being a ninja if you can't help your friends when they get robbed?" Donnie asked.
"April is right," Splinter said, making everyone turn to him. "It is best to let this go."
"What do you mean?" Leo asked. "Why shouldn't we get her phone back?"
"One cannot predict the consequences of battle," Splinter explained as he walked over to them. "Every fight has the potential to stir a hornet's nest. A simple cell phone does not justify this risk."
"What risk? It's just the Purple Dragons," Raph said. "Even Mikey and Donnie can beat 'em." Tracy narrowed her eyes and slapped his shoulder with her tail.
"Hey!" Mikey and Donnie exclaimed in unison.
"Don't worry, Sensei," Leo spoke up. "We'll be careful." The five mutants then turned and left the lair, leaving Splinter and April to watch them go.
-TMNT-
"Come on, you're luck will turn around."
The largest of the Purple Dragons got kicked and sent flying back, startling the rest of the street-fighters. Skinny-fighter spit out his drink.
"The turtles?!"
"'Sup." Raph, who had kicked the first Purple Dragon, said simply. His brothers and Tracy leaped down to join him.
"Get 'em!"
The Purple Dragon, who had been laughing at his comrade, growled and leaped at Mikey, who got out his nunchucks. "Bring it," Mikey said.
"Comin' through!" Raph said as he kicked the guy before Mikey was even able to dodge or attack.
Tracy stood back and watched with her arms crossed as Leo did the exact same thing to Donnie when he tried to take on one of the Purple Dragons. The Purple Dragons tried to run away, but the turtle brothers surrounded them. Leo held Skinny-fighter to the wall.
"You punks stole a phone from a friend of ours. We want it back," Leo told him.
"Whatever. We steal a lot of phones," Skinny-fighter replied, holding up his hands.
"Well, let's see 'em. Now!"
The Purple Dragons showed them to their stash of stolen things. Donnie walked up and pointed to a phone that stood against a laptop.
"Hey, that looks like it."
Tracy's ear flicked before the ground began to shake. She gasped softly as she lashed her tail. Rocks began to fall from the ceiling and break things.
"Does anyone else feel that?" Mikey asked.
"Um, yeah," Tracy answered, flicking her tail as she glanced around.
"What's going on?" Buff-fighter asked.
The ground soon stopped shaking before a crack split open and some small robots with two legs and a large head came out. They kind of sounded like cats, but not quite.
"What the heck?" Leo asked.
The robots walked over to the stolen stash of things before picking up some of it with their large mouths and jumping back down into the hole where they came from. More and more kept coming out and going back in with the stolen stuff.
"Hey, those things are stealing the stuff we stole!" Buff-fighter exclaimed.
"Wait, where's-" Leo cut himself off as they looked up to see Skinny-fighter reach the top of the steps, laughing. "He's got the phone! B-Team, Tracy, get him, we'll handle the metal!"
"Hey, we are not-"
"Just go!" Leo interrupted Donnie.
"Hey, if you guys can't handle it, don't be afraid to call for help," Raph told them before following Leo.
"Oh, yeah?" Mikey asked. "Well, maybe you should call us for help. Or don't call us-" Before he could continue, Tracy slapped her tail across his mouth.
"Let's go before he gets away," she told them before leaping to land on the railing halfway up the stairs. She then ran the rest of the way on the railing on all fours, Mikey and Donnie quickly following her.
-TMNT-
Donnie, Mikey, and Tracy peeked through the window of a warehouse building where Skinny-fighter had gone into. He had obviously gone straight to Dogpound to tell him about the phone.
"Aw, man," Mikey groaned. "We can't take Dogpound on our own! Maybe we should wait for Leo and Raph."
"And tell 'em we chickened out?" Donnie asked. "Then they'll never stop calling us the B-Team! We'll use stealth. With the right plan, we can grab the phone without Dogpound ever seeing us, okay?" Mikey nodded.
"Oh, I like plans that involve not being seen," Tracy smirked, pulling her hood over her head.
"We need a diversion so we can grab the phone," Donnie said. Mikey scratched his head. "How about this: We'll make them think the police are here!" He then scratched his chin thoughtfully. "We'll need a bull-horn, some flashing lights, and a siren."
"Operation Cop-out!" Mikey exclaimed. Oh, boy. Here he goes, naming all the plans that Donnie thinks of.
"Or we'll make them think the place is on fire! We'll need a smoke machine, an orange light, and firefighter jackets."
"Operation Burn-out!"
"Or we could find the breaker box and shut off the power. We'll need- um…nothing."
"Operation Black-out! No, Lights-out! No, Power-out! This one's too good, I can't handle it!" Mikey fell over backwards, making Tracy shake her head in amusement while face-palming.
"Um, how about I just go in there and have Dogpound chase me around a few blocks once or twice?" Tracy asked, flicking her tail. "I'm pretty fast when I run on all fours. Although, he may not be fast enough to catch me, so I'd have to run on two feet instead and try to attack him to keep him chasing after me…"
Donnie thought about it. "That could work…but it's too risky. What if you get caught? You've been beaten up enough times already that we had to save you each time," he told her.
Tracy sighed exasperatedly, lashing her tail to one side. "You're right…and I'm grateful to you guys for that."
With that, Mikey and Donnie paced back and forth on the roof, trying to think up ideas. Tracy, on the other hand, had changed into her cat form and was napping. Well, it looked like she was. She was also trying to think up a plan, but with her eyes closed. She flicked her ear every time Donnie thought he had a plan, but then he disregarded it and kept pacing. Donnie finally came up with a plan, but then his T-Phone rang, making Tracy immediately change back and leap over to listen in to their conversation.
"I'm kind of the middle of something, Leo," Donnie answered the T-Phone right away. Wow, what a way to greet someone.
"Oh, tell him my operation names!" Mikey chided.
Donnie brushed him off. "What's the matter? Oh, don't tell me the A-Team needs our help." He smirked, making Tracy rolled her eyes and smack his shoulder lightly with her tail, receiving a confused glance from said turtle.
"Uh, no- no, of course not!" Tracy could tell he was laughing nervously, denying it. "We're great! I'm just, uh…you know, checking to see if you guys…need any help." Tracy held in an irritated growl as she lashed her tail from side to side, glaring at both the T-Phone and Donnie.
"We've got this. We follow Fong to the defunct Futon factory on 5th," Donnie told his brother.
Mikey chuckled, "Say that five times fast."
"Anyway, we've got an awesome plan to get the phone back. How are you guys doin'?" Tracy waited intently for the answer she knew was coming.
"You know, good…ish…" Tracy's ears flicked as she heard the sound of one of those small robots make another one of those cat yowls. "Whoops, call waiting, gotta go!"
Tracy watched as Donnie put his T-Phone away. She then narrowed her eyes and glared at Donnie, her arms crossed and her tail lashing. "I am starting to get very annoyed with this little…dispute between you four," she said, letting a breath escape through her nose. "It's getting very old, and I'm so very glad I don't have any siblings related to me." She then flicked an ear. "If we weren't already trying to get April's phone back, I'd have slapped some sense into all four of you! But seeing as I can't leave you two to do this by yourselves with mutt-face down there, I can at least do that to you. Be glad that I won't do that though, because I'm not like Raphael."
Donnie chuckled nervously and sweat-dropped, as did Mikey. They then went to go find a breaker nearby. Donnie soon found it and opened it while Tracy watched Dogpound interrogate a caught Stockman. Stockman objected to being thrown out and insisted on helping them find the turtles, so Dogpound agreed and had him hack into April's phone.
"Okay, let's do this." Tracy's ear flicked to Donnie's voice and she glanced over her shoulder at them, watching as they bumped their fists together.
"B-Team is go!" Mikey exclaimed, making Donnie dead-pan.
"Don't call us that!"
"Oh, right."
Tracy rolled her blue eyes. "So, what's the plan? We create a temporary black-out throughout the building, sneak in, and then what?"
After Donnie told her the plan, they created the black-out before entering the building. Dogpound growled and glanced around. Tracy smirked and quickly ran by and snatched up April's phone. She then ran away, following behind Donnie and Mikey. She flicked her ear and glanced behind her to see Dogpound leap at them. The three got pinned down, just as the lights turned back on.
"Well, that plan didn't work," Mikey told Donnie.
"Worked great for me," Dogpound said. He then turned to Buff-fighter. "Get the chains!"
-TMNT-
Mikey whimpered once the three of them were chained up against a wall. Tracy growled and writhed against her chains, though it was futile. She wasn't about to go down without a fight. She could feel Donnie's and Mikey's gaze on her, but she paid no mind to it. She had to get out of those chains, unchain her two friends, grab April's phone, and get the heck out of there!
"We'll have access to the phone in about ten minutes," Stockman announced, making Tracy want to get out even more.
"You're wasting your time," Donnie told him. "There's nothin' on it!"
"It's got a GPS lock, doesn't it?" That shut Donnie up. "Once I unlock this phone, we'll see every place it's ever been."
Mikey gasped, "The Museum of Natural History!"
"The lair," Donnie told him in a whisper.
Mikey gasped once more. "Even worse!"
Dogpound went over to them. "If that phone tells me where Splinter is, I'll have no reason to keep you alive," he told them, making Tracy hiss. He turned away with a growl. "And if it doesn't tell me, I'll get the answers out of you." He then punched the wall next to Donnie. "That's what I call…a win-win."
Once Dogpound had walked away, Tracy glared at him before slowly reaching into her trench coat with her long, unbound tail. She fished around for her T-Phone in her inside pockets before her ear flicked to Donnie's T-Phone ringing. She groaned inwardly and retracted her tail from her coat, watching as Dogpound walked over and took Donnie's and Mikey's phone.
"We'll check these next," he said before turning to Tracy. "And where's yours?"
"None of your business," she spat, flicking her tail with a hiss.
Dogpound growled before gesturing for Buff-fighter to come over and check her pockets. He obliged and checked her outside pockets before patting her body down, much like a cop does when they check their suspects for any weapons or such. He felt her T-Phone in the inside pocket before fishing it out and handing to Dogpound. They both walked away.
"T-Phones, self-destruct!" Donnie ordered.
The T-Phones that Dogpound held shorted out and began to smoke, making said mutant dog drop them before growling and snapping his jaws at Donnie. Said turtle smiled sheepishly with a nervous laugh.
Tracy growled and writhed once more, lashing her tail wildly. "Damn it! I was going to use that to contact Leo," she hissed under breath.
"But-"
Tracy immediately cut Donnie off. "If they would have so much as hinted about 'A-Teams', 'B-Teams', or the fact that you two actually needed help, I would have virtually and physically smacked them so far into their shells that you'd have to fish them out with a pole!" Her voice had went from a loud whisper to an almost yell. Her glare was absolutely dead serious and very threatening. A cornered or locked-up cat was definitely something that nobody should mess with. She felt a bit satisfied when Mikey and Donnie exchanged nervous glances.
"Almost done," Stockman announced. "98, 99… Yes, 100! And, processing…processing… Come on and…finished!"
Tracy growled and writhed before growing still and gasping as Leo and Raph busted in through a window.
"The turtles!" Dogpound growled.
"Not so fast, Dogpound," Leo shouted. "And Dexter Speckman?"
"Baxter Stockman!" Stockman corrected irritatedly.
Dogpound growled as he ran forward and attacked Leo, who dodged. He turned to watch him run before turning back to see Raph running at him and attacking. Leo brought his sword down by April's phone before picking it up, making Stockman gasp.
"How did you escape my Mousers?" Stockman asked.
"We didn't," Leo told him matter-of-factly.
Just then, a whole bunch of those small robots came in through the broken window, landing in the factory on Dogpound and Stockman. Leo cut Donnie, Mikey, and Tracy free of their chains, allowing said three mutants to rub at their skin gratefully.
"We're here to save the day, as usual," Raph said.
Donnie blinked and then nervously glanced in Tracy's direction. Tracy stood up from her crouched position before getting in all of their faces. "One more word about saving anyone's shells and you will be stuck inside your shells for a few days! And that goes for these 'A-Teams' and 'B-Teams' as well!" She spat, her glare making even Raph nervous. "Now, can we get the hell out of here?" Her ear flicked and she used her claws to slice one of the Mousers in half, barely even glancing at it.
The Purple Dragons ran away to escape the Mousers while Tracy and the turtle brothers had to fight them off. Leo glanced at Dogpound, who snarled as he smashed the robots that were attacking him, before turning to Mikey. "Mikey, keep-away!" He then threw April's phone. Mikey successfully caught it before dodging as Dogpound attacked him and ran up a flight of stairs, Dogpound hot on his trail. Tracy slashed at three of the robots at once before listening to her friends' conversation.
"Whoa," Donnie exclaimed. "A gamma camera! It detects radio isotopes. That must be what he's tagged you with!"
"Oh, well how do we get it off?!" Raph shouted.
"You can't. It wears off gradually. But if someone else got sprayed, they'd give off a stronger signal!" Donnie glanced behind him as Mikey screamed. Mikey fell off the upper level, dropping April's phone and having it slide away from him. Dogpound landed behind him and went to bring his fists down on him, but Donnie leaped and hit his face with his Bo-Staff, making said mutant yelp. "We've gotta get Stockman's spray. It controls the Mousers."
"You mean that thing?" Mikey pointed.
Stockman walked in front of Dogpound with a metal spray can. "I'll handle this, dog-man. One sprits and they're Mouser-chow!"
Raph leaped up with a yell and threw two ninja stars, successfully imbedding them in the can and making the red stuff spray all over Baxter and Dogpound. The Mousers stopped their assault before turning and surrounding Dogpound and Stockman. Dogpound hit one but then ran after Stockman as they bit onto his tail. Stockman tripped over a few broken Mousers before Dogpound picked him. He heard April's phone ringing and picked it up, but Leo's sword grabbed it and stuck it to a wall before it broke into a few pieces.
"Hang it up, Dogpound! Your call just got dropped," Donnie said as more Mousers ran passed him and towards the two. Dogpound broke through the brick wall and ran down the street with the robots hot on his tail. The five mutants walked over to the hole and watched them go.
"Nice job, guys!" Leo announced.
"Yeah, from here on out, you're the A…minus-Team," Raph added.
"That's probably the best we're gonna get out of him," Donnie told Mikey, before Mikey got his head rubbed furiously by Raph.
Tracy walked up behind them before rolling her blue eyes, just letting it go for now. At least they weren't arguing anymore. They turned and walked back into the factory, Tracy in the lead with her hands in her trench coat pockets. She glanced over shoulder at her friends before giving a small smirk and flicking her tail.
-TMNT-
Once back at the lair, Mikey immediately turned on the radio and started dancing on a mat. Raph sat on the couch and fed Spike while Tracy sat beside him with Lucifer lying across her shoulders. Donnie watched Leo play a pin-ball game. Tracy's ear flicked and she looked up to Splinter.
"I hope you all see that by choosing your battles poorly, you created your own crisis," he told them.
"There's definitely some irony there," Donnie muttered.
"Okay, it got a little out of control," Leo said. "But we learned our lesson and…at least we got April's phone back." He smiled.
Just then, April showed up through the entrance. "You did? Sweet!" She walked over to them. Donnie held out her phone that looked intact, but then it fell apart again. She blinked at them.
"Uh, the important thing is, it didn't end up in the wrong hands," Leo told her.
"Gee… Thanks, guys," April said, trying to sound thankful while at the same time kind of dejectedly.
"Ah, don't worry, April," Donnie told her. "You can have one of my custom-built T-Phones!" He held up the T-Phone to show her.
April immediately brightened up. "Ooh, cool!" She grabbed it and Mikey went over to them.
"Just don't say 'T-Phone, self-destruct'," he told her. The T-Phone shorted out and began to smoke. "Or else that happens…" He then disappeared, obviously not wanting to get beaten up. Tracy shook her head slowly.
I told you there'd be yelling and threats XD Damn, Tracy does NOT like it when the guys act like that, does she? XD lol anyways, I can't say much here, cuz my mom wants me to help her. I'll work on the next chapter as much as I can, but idk when I'll be able to upload it. But I will upload it as soon as I'm finished. Plz review!
