(: Read and Review
"I grow tired of you creatures, small girl, and your constant interference. Elite ninja. ATTACK." Shredder yelled, pointing in our direction with smoldering red eyes.
Really, you have to point? That's so rude.
The four elite ninja jumped in our direction, weapons spinning and gleaming under the alien lights.
"Stockman, power up the transmat. Finish Mortu and his friends." Shredder said carelessly, waving his hand at Stockman.
"Yes Master.." Stockman said dully.
"We have to stop Stockman!" Leo shouted, fighting the spear wielding ninja on one of the large wires hanging above the transmat. Leo was barely dodging the ninja and wasn't landing too many hits. Mikey was flipping around wildly, fighting against the ninja who had a freaking trident!
"And here I am fresh out of bug spray!" Mikey shouted back, back flipping away from a jab.
"Why don't we just get Shredder ta' ask him to stop." Raph mocked, fighting against the ax wielding ninja. Using his sais defensively, he pushed the ninja away. "Stockman seems ta' listen to him." Raph said, taking a few deep breaths.
"That's it!" Donnie said, blocking a ninja that had a bo that had long, curved blades on both ends.
"Stockman's control chip must be voice activated!" Donnie cheered, as I ran towards the bladed bo ninja to distract him long enough for Donnie to go do his techno turtle thing. I growled, trying to fend off a giant blade with my little razor, and I was doing pretty well.
Sweeny Todd, eat your heart out.
The metal of our weapons clashed, making horrible screeching noises. I winced, pushing against the pressure. This ninja was so much stronger than that wimpy ninja in Columbus park. Also, this ninja's attention was focused on defeating me, while the other ninja seemed scatterbrained. All the sudden, the ninja's attention was diverted away from me.
Okay, maybe this ninja wasn't the best either.
We stopped fighting long enough for us both to see Stockman becoming free from Shredder's hold. The spider-robot-human lept angrily at the villain, latching onto Shredder's chest with an evil cackle and using his lasers to electrocute him. I starred up at the bamboo hatted ninja, who was staring at the Shredder and Stockman fighting.
Is this an opened opportunity I see?
Yes..I believe it is.
Time to take the opportunity by the balls.
I pulled my hand back like I was going to punch the ninja in the face, but with my razor still clenched in my hand. I rammed my hand forwards, stabbing the ninja in the eye with the razor. Everything seemed to freeze for a moment as I ripped the razor away from his eye, blood and eye matter spattering all over the place.
"AUGH!" The ninja cried, clutching at his useless eye. Everyone took their eyes off of the struggling villains to spare a mixture of worried/horrified/amused looks my way. The ninja was far from dead, but was breathing heavy and clutching at his bloody hole that was once his eyeball.
"MY EYE! WHO DOES THAT?" The ninja shouted, dropping his double bladed bo.
"I'm sorry! You were trying to kill me!" I squealed, shrugging my shoulders. Wasn't this guy supposed to be a badass ninja?
"I mean come on! Sure, you have bruises and cuts, but I didn't go down douche bag drive and stab you in the eye!" The ninja screamed back, clutching his face.
"I was looking for an open opportunity! I'm not a ninja! I'm at a disadvantage!" I defended myself, as the ninja dropped to his knees.
"AUGH! FUCK! MY EYE!" The ninja cried, shooting me a one eyed glare.
"I'm so so sorry.." I whimpered, feeling a strange mix of guilt and stress.
"THIS WAS MY GOOD EYE!" He said, pointing to his bloody eye socket.
"..Please stop.." I whined, wincing away from the horrifying sight.
"WHAT WILL MY MOM SAY?" The ninja screamed, clutching his head.
"Ugh. I said..SHADDUP!" I screamed, punching him in the face and knocking him out. I felt either his face or my fingers crunch under the punch, the ninja falling to a heap on the ground by my feet. Just as the ninja fell to the ground so did the Shredder, his armor making a big clang as he smashed into the floor.
I turned to look at the electrified Shredder, ignoring everyone's stares. Shredder was literally smoking from being shot with so many volts of electricity. Wow, Stockman must pack a pretty shocking punch in that little robot spider body. The Doctor crawled away from the lifeless body of his 'Master', cackling evilly as Shredder's followers crowded around their Master.
"Master.." Hun whispered, eyes practically pleading for the criminal to show any sign of life. I limped over towards the group, breathing heavy.
"Do you think the Shredder is..?" Leo asked, watching the mammoth of a man pick Shredder up like he weighed nothing.
"We'll be back..freaks." Hun growled, revenge searing in his eyes as Shredder dropped a strange red-orange remote from his hand. The strange remote clanged and bounced along the floor, and when it stilled a red clock came on the screen. 10:00 minutes and counting down, it looked like a freaking bomb! Bright red fissure lines sprouted from the little remote and quickly grew all over the floor. Cautiously, we all slowly inched towards the detonator.
"It must be some kind of bomb..don't you think so Kate?" Donnie tried to pry for an answer, but I remained silent. Donnie sighed, biting his bottom lip before reaching out to touch the tiny bomb.
"Don't touch that! It's an Utrom implosion device! The techno-organic virus it contains would destroy you. Already it has throughly infected the system." Mortu stopped the techno turtle just in time, and everyone slowly backpedaled away from the bomb. Mortu looked at the detonator before turning back to us, red eyes dark with horror.
"The whole building will implode in less than ten minutes." He told us solemnly, clenching his teeth.
Mikey and Raph started screaming, rapidly dashing around the room for the best escape. Donnie's mind was going into overdrive, his brown orbs glaring holes into the bomb. Master Splinter and I stood their silently, contemplating the next best move. Leo had whipped out his cell shell, and was talking to April in hushed tones.
A Utrom was at the transmat, hurriedly working the controls on the massive machine. The Utrom gave Mortu a nod before climbing aboard the transmat. Utroms started appearing, dropping out of their robotic bodies and crawling towards the transmat. Master walked over to Mortu, who began explaining that it was time for the Utroms to go back home. I stood alone, watching everyone scurry about. Two little Utroms crawled past me, nagging at each other.
"I hate walking on my tentacles!" One complained, glaring at the ground.
"Oh shut up Kraang." The other hissed at his friend.
Kraang...sounds like an 80's cartoon name...
Once a group of Utroms had finally crawled onto the transmat, a Guardian accompanied them as they were bathed in a bright blue light. The aliens began to fizzle away like bubbles, before fully disappearing. Mortu smiled, ushering more Utrom to come to the transmat to be sent back home.
There was a small whirling sound as the three honored navigators rolled into the room on some sort of three person go-cart. Mortu smiled at the trio, bowing slightly. The navigators didn't look so emotionless now, with smiles on their faces.
"Mortu, we are the last. The others have been evacuated." One navigator said happily, the blue of it's eyes glowing.
"Secondary team will accompany the council." Mortu bowed once more as three Guardians followed the navigational trio onto the platform of the transmat. The six all looked at us, smiling softly.
"It is.."
"Good to be.."
"Going home." The navigators finished each other's sentences before looking towards Professor Honeycutt. The robot had escaped the room of flooding death and had somehow lived through the rough battle in one piece.
"Proffesor Honeycutt, would you like to join us? We would glady offer you asylum on our home world." Mortu spoke for the navigators. Honeycutt was stunned speechless for a moment, before the green lights of his mouth and eyes shone happily.
"Really? Me? To live among an advanced peaceful civilization where I can use my knowledge and skills for good? It's a dream come true..but..my friends..I will miss you." The robot said sadly, turning to the turtles.
"I..I can't thank you enough.." The Professor said, smiling sadly at the four.
"Take care of yourself Professor." Donnie said, patting the robot on the shoulder. Honeycutt nodded, turning and proudly marching up to stand beside the other aliens. Mortu smiled at us, ready to give goodbyes of his own.
"Mr. Mortu, thank you. For everything." Leo said honestly, bowing to the alien. Mikey sniffled, his big blue eyes starting to water up.
"Man I hate long goodbyes." Mikey sobbed, wrapping one arm around Raph and I, pulling us into a group hug. I stiffened angrily, hissing and pulling out of the hug. Raph growled and bared through his brother's hug fest, giving me another sad look as I put some much needed space between the guys and I.
"It has been an honor to know you and your race Mortu-san." Dad-Master said, bowing to the alien beside his son. I took a quick glance to the bomb that was still on the floor which apparently everyone had forgotten about. It had only three minutes left, so these goodbyes better get really short, really fast.
"It is we who are honored." Mortu said, bowing. "Before we leave, a small token of our appreciation."
Mortu's robotic body held out it's hand and a glowing ball suddenly appeared in his palm. Mortu gingerly handed the blowing ball to Master, who stared blankly at the ball as if in some kind of trance. Mortu smiled happily as Master broke out of his daydream, wiping a tear from his eye.
"Now my friends, you must leave this building while you still can." Mortu commanded, crawling out of his robotic body.
You don't have to tell me twice.
"Donatello, if you would do me the honor of powering up the transmat? Mortu asked, noticing that Donnie had been eyeing the alien machinery.
"SWEET! I'm all over it!" Donnie cheered, rushing over to the controls. The group of aliens began to fizzle out into the blue light and go back home when a couple of throwing stars came spinning through the air and into the screens that Donnie was handling. The screens sparked, causing Donnie to jump back with a spooked squawk.
Oh, look who it is. Shredder and his usual goons.
"As long as I live, you will not leave this place alive." Shredder threatened, jumping into the air and kicking down Leo, Raph and Master Splinter. With one swing of his arm, Mikey and Donnie were thrown across the room like they weighed nothing.
That is IT.
I whipped out my razor, the surge of adrenaline pumping up my body so it could fight through the pain of my wounds. I sprinted towards Shredder, racing through puddles of the alien water that almost killed us. I dove for the giant, plunging my razor as deeply into his stomach as I could. I was lucky for once in my life, my razor just fit through on of the little slits of Shredder's armor. Shredder screamed, jerking away from me with a howl of pain.
"You..you insignificant little vermin! You and your disgusting race shall be wiped out alongside the human race and those mutants, you pathetic little mutt!" Shredder shouted, reaching for me.
My race? Wait..isn't my race the human race?
I found I had no more time to ponder as Shredder grabbed me by my face, his fingers digging into my forehead and jaw. With a growl, he threw me across the room, my neck and back making a sickening crack as I was thrown into the sparking control panel.
"KATIE!" I heard Leo shout, and everything became hazy. I faintly recalled the attack on April's house, where my injuries were so bad that I was in a strange plane between consciousness and unconsciousness. I mentally groaned as I could barley make out snippets of the fight, and trying to recall just how long we had left on that damn bomb.
"The building is about to implode!" Dad-Master shouted through the haze, my mind quickly coming to.
"Then we shall all perish!" Shredder shouted.
I managed to pull myself up just as what sounded like a boom of thunder shook the building. I groaned, looking up to see that evil Utrom from the movie-pod! The same Utrom who crashed Mortu's ship and forced them to become stranded on Earth.
"The Shredders...an Utrom?" Donnie shouted.
C'mon Kate, get it together! I forcefully yanked myself up to stand, stars and blackness edging into my vision for a moment. When I was able to move around, I saw something that I couldn't label as hysterical or horrifying. The Shredder, now an Utrom had attached itself to Raph's head. With a half dead groan, I stumbled over and bit down on the Utrom as hard as I could, making him screech in pain and let go of Raph. Raph angrily threw the Shredder-Utrom to the ground, where he scurried away like a roach. Donnie sprinted over to the controls, smashing away at the buttons.
"Hurry! I have the transmat re-calibrated, hop on." Donnie said, eyeing the bomb that had only 25 seconds left. I gasped, quickly following everyone towards the stairs that led to the transmat platform. I felt a hand take my arm and wrap it around a pair of strong shoulders. My weight was placed mostly on my carrier, a certain orange-clad turtle. I glared at him, making sure he knew I was still upset.
"Let me help you..." He whispered, helping me up onto the platform as Donnie hopped on. I nodded, leaning against Mikey.
"Lets hope wherever we're going is better than the last place we went." Leo twitched worriedly, staring at the bomb that now said 6 seconds. I saw a flurry of motion out of the corner of my eye, the Shredder-Utrom was speeding towards us! We began to become blue and fizzle out, but the alien was closing in on us! Just as the Shredder-Utrom was about to reach us, a blue beam zapped us away from the building, Shredder being successfully trapped inside.
Transmat travel isn't something that I would suggest for the faint of heart. It felt like you were slowly being picked apart piece by piece, and zapped together again. I heard the deafening crash of the TCRI building, and when I opened my eyes, we were all floating in the air. We plummeted towards the ground, and we all landed on the roof of the Battle Shell.
"Well, I got us out, but I apparently neglected to get us down." Donnie said, cracking his back somehow.
"Guys! Master Splinter! Katie, you're all alive!" April shouted, hands on her hips and wearing a rubbery yellow jumpsuit. We all crawled off of the van, hugging the elated Casey and April.
"Hey, what's with the getup?" Leo asked, poking fun at April's jumpsuit.
"I suggest we continue our reunion in a less conspicuous place." Dad-Master said, eyeing the crater where the building once was. Holy crap..look at all those cops..and were those guys in military uniforms? Apparently the battle at the TCRI building did not go unnoticed by New York City. The guys were all climbing into the Battle Shell, which April had parked in an alley a block away from TCRI.
Dad-Master shot me a worried look, and I couldn't help but smile softly. I jerked my thumb in the direction of the other side of the alley, waving slightly. The wise rat nodded, bowing slowly. I smiled, doing the best I could to bow before turning and limping towards the exit of the alley.
"Woah woah woah, Babydoll.." I heard Raph call, jumping out of the van. I had turned the corner, but heard Master herding his red banded son back into the van.
"Give her time.." Dad-Master said softly. I smiled softly, remembering to thank Master later on. I glanced down at my arm, seeing the sharpie marks still there from that strange Judge character. I pulled my mobile out, shaking the water out and being slightly amazed that the mobile still worked. I quickly typed the numbers in, weaving in and out of the crowds as I headed for the metro.
"Hello.."
"Hey..It's Kate. I think you need to give me answers."
With The Turtles:
Master Splinter, the turtles, Casey and April watched the lithe blond scurry around the corner of the alley. The awkward silence was cracked as April and Master Splinter corralled the men into the van. Casey was driving, with April in the passenger seat, Leo, Raph and Master Splinter in the first row of seats, with Mikey and Donnie in the back. The turtles were uncomfortably shifting in their seats, and as usual, Mikey was the one to talk first.
"I can't believe you Raph..you really hurt her feelings." Mikey said, buckling his seat belt angrily. Raph snorted, turning around to glare at his youngest brother.
"Me! You're just as bad! Ya didn't stand up for her an' I only got mad cause she was freakin' out over the damn water." Raph said, gripping the top of the seat, his nails digging into the material.
"You know she's not the best swimmer! YOU dunked her under whatever that stuff was, because it wasn't water!" Mikey accused, crossing his arms over his plastron.
"Oh and your sooo much better. I had no clue she swims like a' rock!" Raph defended himself, golden orbs slowly transitioning to a feral yellow.
"AND you threw her at Leo, and she hurt herself when she knocked against his katana holsters!" The orange turtle shouted, eyes a dark teal.
"Please don't fight.." Donnie sighed, rubbing at his nose ridge. Raph glared at his older brother.
"You yelled at her too Donnie-boy." Raph shouted. April and Casey gave each other worried glances, but kept quiet as they navigated through the busy streets.
"I asked the three of you to be quiet. I did not yell or single her out as you had." Donnie seethed quietly, crossing his arms. Raph growled, clenching his teeth.
"Ohh, I'm sure she feels da' love brainiac."
"Raph, stop." Leo sighed, rubbing his temples.
"You're the worst, you mini-lectured her!" Raph shouted even louder, causing Casey to serve a little. The blaring horns of the other drivers did nothing to help Leo's growing migraine.
"We were under a tense situation, I snapped at her and you to regain control." Leo said, trying to keep his spike of anger under control.
"That's so brave. Ya' snap at a little, innocent, helpless girl ta' gain control." Raph mocked, his lip curling up in anger.
"Don't belittle her like that! She fought just as hard as us today, with no training! You couldn't just pick her up from the water and hold her! Like Mikey said, she's not fond of water and it was rising over her head." Leo growled, light grey eyes smoldering at his younger brother.
"I was tryin' 'ta! As soon as I picked 'er up, she was fightin' me!" Raph said, squeezing the seat.
"'Cause you grabbed her by her wounded side! You were hurting her!" Mikey said, re-tying his bandana angrily.
"How da hell am I s'upposed ta know?" Raph said, loosing a bit of his coloring. Had he really done that? He thought she was just trying to be 'independent', which wasn't smart to try and do and that point in time.
"Because you were right there when it happened. Oh god..." Donnie scoffed, before he too blanched.
"Raph, you have no consideration for her. Further more-" Leo started, but was cut off.
'BANG'
Master Splinter smashed his walking stick to the floor of the van, dark eyes glaring at his offspring in anger.
"Enough. You promised me when you four got into a relationship with Miss Kate, there would be no altercations such as this. Now be quiet. Mister Jones..please take us home." Splinter scolded his sons, turning towards the human driver.
"No! Track Kate. Her wounds! I have to treat them!" Donnie said, his mind running a hundred miles a minute. How many wounds did she receive in the past 24 hours? The wounds from that Foot ninja, from the blast to the past and from the Shredder..that all adds up to mass blood loss. Donnie blanched again as he turned on one of the van's computers, and started to pin point the wounded girl. Donnie had a tracker set on her mobile phone, and hoped she'd had it on her.
"Alright!" Donnie cheered, locating a little green dot. "Head South! I think she's heading south. She's traveling too fast to be walking, and her signal is flickering, most likely from being in a subway tunnel."
Casey nodded, screetching to a halt and spinning the van around. Ignoring the honking, Casey sped towards where Donnie told him to go. They continued going south, following the flickering green light.
I stepped out of the subway station. That probably wasn't the best idea ya know? I look like some kind of murder victim, and I had to lie to a few curious people and tell them that my friends and I were shooting a horror movie. That excuse for looking like I went to hell and back was better than: 'Oh, I was attacked by a ninja and killed him. I met some freaky aliens. Then I went back in time and got attacked. Then I came back, and got attacked again.'
My life...
I glanced down at my arm skeptically, eyeing the area suspiciously. Tribeca? At least there's alot of people around if I need help. I tried to casually stroll down the street and act like I wasn't slathered in my own blood, but the limp was kind of destroying the illusion. I hobbled over to Pumphouse Park, with large gothic buildings, gorgeous wooden bridges and small streams. The sounds of the marina and the ocean could be heard if one strained for the noise.
I slowly stepped towards one of the large gothic buildings. I checked my arm once again, pulling out my mobile and calling the number that Judge had wrote on there.
"Hello?"
"Hello..this is Kate. I spoke with Judge about meeting with him. I'm outside.." I said, and pulled away from the phone when a loud shriek of joy came from the other line. The other line went dead as the sound of locks and dead bolts unlocking were heard. The large wooden door opened, revealing a small woman who was only a few inches taller than me.
"Hi, I'm Jinnah!" She chirped, her caramel skin shining in the early morning moon, skin stretching to make long laugh marks.
"Hi..Kate." I said softly, sticking my hand out to shake. Jinnah gasped, staring at my bloodied hand.
"Oh my Lord! I must get Judge, c'mon in!" She cheered, clapping her hands together and prancing inside the large stone house. I followed her in slowly, closing the door behind me as the grey eyed woman pranced around the front room. She looked to be about ten years older than me, but about ten times as hyper. Jinnah peeked around a corner, and took a deep breath.
"JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE! KATHLEEN'S HERE! GO GET MOTHER AND THE OTHERS!" Jinnah screamed, some water glasses near by actually wobbled a bit at the high tone of her scream. Wincing, I rubbed my ears as the woman pranced back over, the sound of foot steps coming down a flight of stairs. Judge appeared in the door way, looking as hipster as ever.
"Hello..you're looking worse for wear. Were you attacked by a herd of taxis?" He asked, stepping further into the room, matte brown orbs glimmering.
"I wish. I have some questions and you better have the answers. Weird shit has been going on and I have a suspicion you know..are you an Utrom?" I asked, wincing as pain ebbed around my body. Judge gave me a blank stare, tilting his head.
"An..excuse me?"
"Uh..Nevermind." I rubbed the back of my neck. I almost let the aliens out of the bag for a moment.
"Judgey..who's that?" A light voice said from the doorway. I looked past the two to see a small trio of children. Two boys and one girl, each had tanned skin and bright blond hair. The children were all dressed in white and wore little blue socks.
"Hello.." I said, watching two of the children shrink away and one of the boys shyly come closer.
"I..Lycan..that's Gardenia..an Ronan.." He said, and looking at him up close was a shock to say the least. Lycan had the same mismatched eyes as me, grey and blue.
"H-hello..I'm Kate..Lycan..that's a nice name. It's like the werewoves in that one movie." I said, kneeling down to the boy's level. The other two children, Ronan and Gardenia slowly inched closer as Lycan shook his head.
"Mommy says the werewolves are nothing like the ones in the movie." He said proudly. Someone cleared their throat, causing the both of us to look up.
..Holy Shit...
"Hello Kathleen..I see you've met your siblings. It's wonderful to see you again. The last time I saw you, you were fresh from my womb."
I stared stupidly up at the woman standing before me. A loving smile and smoldering mismatched eyes stared me down.
"You might be confused. I am Oparibdis..and I am your birth mother."
