That mission, the last one you went on, still bothered you. For many reason, a part of you was still sulking on how badly the mission went very little information was gathered because of your reckless decision that you still held onto. Even the Ino told you it was really nothing to worry about, you still did. Feeling you let down Gaara, seeing how he allowed you to go and assist Guy and his team. He didn't have to, but he did anyway, and you ruined it for everyone. Though he himself told you everyone makes mistakes and you just have to learn from it, he still commended none the less for going on a B-rank mission. These missions where different compared to back home, where you knew your enemy pretty well and you had the others to back you up, here in this world it seem more like everyone was on their own in a sense. Back home you where pretty good a few levels higher than your sister in somethings. But you relied on her and the others when it came to things, even though you could hold your ground, they where never far behind.
Here in this world, you didn't have them. It was just you, and you alone, that empty feeling was starting hurt. But it wasn't just that, another part of you was the attackers, their weapons you knew all to well. It sent a chill down your spine that scared you, you had a huge feeling you knew who might be here, but a part of you wished it wasn't true then again a part wished it was, because there was hope the others, your sister and friends might be here as well.
Still the thought of them being here, allowed you to feel a rush of joy. Not to much, because there was still a possibility they where not here even if the he and the others where. And if they are, what would they be doing here? What is their plan? Knowing full well it was not good at all, which scared you. Just thinking about it, a wave of cold darkness cascaded over you, making you shiver. Trying your best to shake it away, to clear your mind it did not go away. It sunk its way into your mind, starting to borrow its way in. A cold phantom hand gripped you...
"May, if you stare any harder you might fall in."Ebizo said, snapping you out of your state, which you jerk awake almost falling into the pond which you sat infront of you. Catching yourself before falling in, you look at your reflection realizing you had zoned out completely.
Your eyes drop slightly. Apologizing to him."Sorry, I did not mean to be rude...I was...in deep thought."
"Indeed you are..."the old man looks at your tired looking eyes, even if you did your best not to show it. He could see it, your posture how it slightly slouched, your eyes drooping slightly despite you keeping them open and bright, he could see the gleam fighting to stay ignite. He had to commend you for your own perseverance on maintaining it. Even if it was wearing you slightly.
It reminded quiet with you both, it was more prudent than before, the many times you came over after returning from your mission. He enjoyed your company greatly and always looked forward to it whenever you stopped by, bring his old bones warmth and happiness he did not have as much sense his sister was gone.
The two of you would fish at his pond, never catching anything only listening to you chat away like nothing about so many things and the strange tales you would have about this 'New York City'. Quite an imagination, he would tell himself everytime you talked about it.
But now it wasn't really, he knew how you felt coming back from the mission that was deemed a fail. Not really getting any sort of information or anything, Ebizo looks at his fishing pole moving it slightly.
"...Have I ever told you..."he starts off.
In the hidden hide away, news had gotten back on what happen in Amegakure at the 'Supply Base'. How it was infiltrated by a shinobi of Sunagakure, who managed to set free all the merchandise needed. Putting a damp in the production, with everyone escaping or most of them. They managed to capture a few and bring them back.
While the pink brain squid like aliens worked, the leader sat watching his three high ranking men/mutants work on their jutsu. Which thanks to the help of their new 'partnership' with the masked man who kindly introduced them to chakra here in this world, allowing not only himself but his men to preform and do much more compared to back in their world. Doing feats many would dream of, something straight out the comics.
With a careful and steady eyes he watches them spare against the ninjabots. Xeaver his mutated humanoid fish with robotic legs had become proficient in the use of molding his chakra into not surprising water and lighting which was surprising. Rahzor his mutated skeletal dog, had become proficient in earth, while his last and most trusted as well loyal follower, Tigerclaw a mutated tiger man as well bounty hunter became proficient in the use of wind and fire.
Watching his men easily take down their attackers, the figure standing next to him. The Masked Man's most prized addition, a teenage boy with look just as cold and dark as his own. He was no older than 15 or 15 with black hair with a blue tint to it. His hair is spiky in the back, fair skin and black eyes, dressed in a gray high-collared short-sleeved shirt, dark blue pants with a blue cloth hanging from halfway up his stomach and some sort of black and red clouded cloak, he had a tanto attached to his side. He stood next to the man, watching his men like children he saw them as train and practice their jutsus. Simple ones really, ones an Academy student could easily do with a blink of an eye.
Though he didn't want to be here, finding these 'men' as freaks in many ways he could count, it was out of order and the fact not only he but also his employer would also benefit from this man and his...group.
"Their sloppy, especially the fishface."he bluntly and coldly tells the older man, who slightly grunts at his disrespectful tone."The tiger man, though he's improving greatly...as for your...dog is it? If sadism where a jutsu he would master it."
Not in the mood for this boy's impudent tone, the man stands up much taller. Casting a shadow over him, but the boy remained unfazed but his shoot at intimidation. Sliding his eyes coolly to the boy, who's eyes all of sudden change from black to red, with three tomoe in them. Something he himself still found fascinating. Knowing exactly what was happening...genjutsu was being performed. A feat the man found very much interesting, being trained in it himself by his associate himself, taijustu was not needed, but genjutsu was something besides ninjutsu that he found would definitely benefit him greatly.
Looking back to his men, who had finished off the last of the ninjabots, now caught in this boy's genjutsu that he could see was pleasing agony, their screams and cries. Watching them suffer, not an ounce of him was willing to jump in and help. No, he wanted them to learn if in this world they needed to learn everything to benefit themselves but mainly him."If you're going to do it, then do it now..."the boy tells him.
The man draws bladed gauntlets and goes in, watching their master easily take them out. There was no mercy in his strikes, if he would could kill them. With the final strike, he takes down his men. The three mutants fall down from their injuries, amateurs he scoffs to himself. Nothing but amateurs, stuck here babysitting them on their progress.
Their leader, rises wiping their failure off his gauntlets his cape gently and eerily flowed behind him leaving his men to suffer for their own failures taking his place back atop next to the boy walking by him. The boy slides his black eyes to him."I heard, your operation didn't go as planned. What happen? Though it really isn't any of my concern, though considering how we are in a way consider in an alliance of some sort, the bodies supplied to you for your..."he pauses looking around their lair."Improvements...only to get a just a few, which I believe I have the right to incline, how is that going by the way? I was told some pink haired konuichi medic from Sunagakure with golden eyes who could..fly managed to undermine almost everything there."
The man stops his stride. Wanting to ripe out the boy's disrespectful tongue choose against it, instead focused on what he said. The description that was given about the one who managed to put a dent in his agenda. Knowing that description all to well, he was right. Back home, he didn't see her anymore with the turtles and the others. After what he found out, from his own sources he took matters into his own hands. As well the others, those aliens, their actions led them here to this world. A world he had hidden plans for.
By the way the man stopped the boy could tell he knew of this person."I can clearly see you know this person?"a familiar deep voice makes themselves known, both figures look towards the man in the swirl black orange mask with only one hole that showed his eye. He was concealed very well, dressed in a long dark robe."Should they be someone to concern ourselves about? Shredder?"
Shredder looks at the masked man."...They are a nuisance."
"So, they will be consider a problem then?"the masked man ponders. He looks to the boy, who just rolls his eyes annoyed.
Thinking before he answered, knowing what he knew about the girl. The hybrid creation the Kraang made, something he himself found quite interesting seeing how she was build. Knowing her skills and powers having faced her before, the girl was good. She had untapped potential that he was sure she was not aware of, still the fact she was here, and knowing well she had to have seen something related to their world. Left a bad taste in his mouth, still she was alone here making it easy for him.
The masked man waited patiently for Shredder's answer. Seeing the man had his answer already, he speaks of something else."I was able to do as you requested, there is no doubt now, your little project is ready..."
"...Then it's time for a test."Shredder demands in a obvious tone."...You boy, will take them."
The masked man looks to aloof teen."Sasuke, you know what to do."
The sun shone brightly over the village, people went about their time and day. Children running around playing tag or some other kind of game, running between the adults who watch them or ignore them. The day was good as any other, a gentle non threatening breeze, blew through the village. It was safe, secure and warm.
Only for it to turn unexpectedly to turn cold and still. A piercing scream, rang through the whole village. Alarming everyone, they turn and look their eyes widen in fear at the faith that stood right infront of them.
From up above the Sasuke watched with his cold eyes, the destruction erupt in the harmless village. Blocking out the murderous screams that pierced the air, flames of pain danced throughout the village, anyone who tired to get away was easily taken down. Falling like tree, motionless to the ground. Not a soul escaped, from old to young. A river of blood started to form, for a test they did pretty well.
Sasuke waited a few more minutes, the test was a success no doubt. Jumping down from the tree, landing looking straight at the still dancing fires that now became the village. A figure slowly walks through it, unscathed. Hard to believe this person manged to this much damage, whatever was done to them he had to admit he wanted the power. The mask man did his work well, the figure comes closer putting away their weapon securing it to their side. Hard to believe that thing was something they used, but still effective none the less.
The figure stops a few inches infront of Saskue obediently, he looks at her into their dark blue empty cold eyes the only area on them that wasn't concealed, like the rest of their body, covered from head to toe in dark almost black catsuit with plated armor all along their arms and legs, there was also armor on their torso with a belt that kept their weapon attached.
Moving his eyes away from them, to the village."...Good, let's go. There is still more to do."he turns around and walks off, the figure does as he says and follows behind him.
In the hospital at Sunagakure you where tending to a patient, healing them."How is that?"you asks the young man, stopping. He moves his arm, with ease, turning to you.
"Much better, thank you."he tells you. He gets off the table grabbing his jacket."Have a good evening."he tells you leaving, you wave bye to him watching him go.
Sighing to yourself, looking out the window the sun was starting to set and you where still at the hospital, normally you would be done by early afternoon. Kai would dismiss you to go, but this time you decided to stay a bit longer. Though you did take a break to go back Gaara's home to prepare dinner for them and returned back here.
On your feet non-stop all day, zipping from here to there. Pretty much where anyone really needed you or you would find something or someone. Heal them, check them out, prescribe them certain medication or make an ointment if it was something minor. You where like a busy bee, you heard others call you. Kai himself was surprised at how much you where doing.
Cleaning up the room, straightening everything back to where it went. Someone knocks on the wall, getting your attention. Turning you find Kai, he smiles at you."Mr. Kai."you greet him.
"Hey May, I'm done with my shift here and it's getting pretty late."he looks out the window."Why don't we head home now, you've been on your feet all day."
Restocking some cotton swabs in a jar."I can't sorry, there is still much to be done."
He looks around the room, seeing everything was fine. Nothing out of place."But, your done. There are no more patients to see."
Grabbing a broom, you begin to swept."There is always something to do, but I am fine. Do not worry, I shall not stay very late."
Kai could see it something bothering you, despite the cheerfulness you had on you. He sighs, shaking his head walking over to you grabbing the broom firmly making you stop. You look look up at him, the man looks down at you firmly. A look that reminded you of something Master Splinter would give when he knew something.
"You've been here all day, which is good."Kai tells you."But, sometimes doing something to much is a bad thing. What's going on May?"
"It is nothing, to worry about."you tell him, letting go of the broom. And try to look for something else to do, Kai sets the broom down on the wall. Folding his arms, watching you trying hard to find just about anything that you put yourself in to avoid him. He was well aware of your long hours you spent with Ebizo since your return from the mission, which he was aware about, hearing about it. He understood well, that you wanted to do good on the mission. The fact one fails on their first one is pretty hard, but with you, you where taking it really hard. Besides spending hours with Ebizo, he knew why you spent much more time here at the hospital and why you would leave for a few hours. He wasn't one to pry into others but, when he could see it was not the person anything good he would become concerned about them.
He gets ready to say something to you, when someone else does."There you are."a familiar voice makes you both look. You stop and look to see one of the councilmen, he looks to Kai. Asking to talk to him in private which Kai does, leaving you alone. In a just a few minutes Kai, comes back with the councilman.
"May, I know this is sudden, but we're needed."Kai tells you.
From the way Kai sounded, made you feel tensely worried. Something wasn't right, you didn't know what it was, but it was something.
