~ Hi there, I'm still basing this off of some fanfic reviewers. Now with my other stories complete, I can concentrate on this one :o)
Once the turtles reached a new location, the first thing they did was look to Michelangelo.
"Did you tell Natalie that we were turtles, man?" Raphael asked.
"No, Dudes," Michelangelo said. "See, she wanted to thank us, well me, for saving her and she kissed me then…"
"She kissed you?" Leonardo protested. Michelangelo shrugged.
"Yeah, then…"
"But how did she know we were turtles?" Donatello interrupted.
"If you guys would take a pill, you would hear that I'm trying to say that after she was able to see the real me," Michelangelo finished.
"Oh," was all his brothers could say. Then they looked around, to try to see where they were.
"Wasn't it night when we left, Vancouver?" Michelangelo asked. All nodded equally as confused because where they were, it was day. They were standing, in an opened area, the was covered by brick and black cement. Lamp post were all around and houses, that looked like they were built in the mid to possibly late 1800's were all around.
"What is this place?" Leonardo asked looking around. People were all around. Children playing with others, adults walking around and teenagers. One child riding a bicycle heard Leonardo's question and stopped looking at him funny.
"This is the Newark market place, silly," The child said with an accent. "Are you Americans?" The child asked. They all nodded that they were and the child, who looked about eight or nine shrugged. "I thought so," and road off.
"Well what's that suppose to mean?" Raphael said, a little insulted.
"He means that we are in England Raphael," Donatello said.
"Duh, Donnie," Raphael said doing a mock hit to his head. "That wasn't what I mean. I hope all the people here aren't like that.
"Like what?" A girl asked from behind them. All the guys turned to see a girl standing behind them. She was about their height, 5'4" or so, with dark auburn hair cascading down her shoulders. In one arm she was holding flyers.
"Uh, never mind," Donatello said to the girl. "Just talking out loud." She nodded her head and looked at them a little strangely.
"Well, my name is Rashel and I'm passing out flyers for a club that's opening up down the street." Rashel handed each turtle a flyer. "Will you come?"
"Only if your there." All the turtles turned stunned to Raphael. Rashel smiled.
"I might," then walked away.
"What was that about, Raph," Leonardo asked. Raphael realized he was staring at the girl and shook his head.
"Nothing, lightheaded," Raphael mumbled under his voice. Michelangelo had a slight smile while Donatello and Leonardo dismissed what happened.
"The club sounds cool, but what are we going to do for a few hours?" Donatello asked.
"I vote, pizza," Michelangelo spoke up.
"Not a bad idea, we didn't eat much yesterday," Leonardo agreed. The guys headed down until they found a little pizza parlor and were surprised to find cash in their unseen pockets. They got a pie each and sat down, devouring them in minutes. Michelangelo went to order another to split, or so he says, while the guys wonder about their quest.
"What does it matter about Natalie aside from the fact that we saved her from those guys," Raphael questioned. "I mean I'm glad that we were able to help but you know?"
"I think that maybe in her life she might do something to better the world," Donatello said.
"Or maybe it just stopped those guys from doing harm to her as well as others," Leonardo cut in. When Michelangelo returned they caught him up and finished the rest of the pizza. Walking out the door, a calendar on the wall read July 23rd Friday. Makes sense Leonardo noted.
"They toured around, went to see the famous Robin Hood forest, and looked at the Newark Castle by the River Trent. They weren't able to go in, most of it being in ruins, but were impressed with it's size and look. This took them most of the day. About an hour before the club opened, the turtles rounded the corner seeing a line already starting to form. They got into line and spent the time talking to others around them, who kept asking about where they came from.
One inside, the turtles paused looking around. The club was hopping with a mix between techno and rock. A dance crowd was in the middle, while there were tables to the sides and seats along a bar. Each found a seat for a table and sat down looking around. A blond female approached the group asking Leonardo to dance. Shyly he accepted and went out onto the floor, trying to keep up with the music.
"He's not doing to bad," Raphael commented. Another girl, brunet with glasses asked Donatello to dance which left Raphael and Michelangelo.
"I'm going go dance, wanna come, bro?" Michelangelo offered. Raphael shook his head and watched Michelangelo slip into a group of girls who were charmed by his jokes and light heartedness. A few girls asked Raphael to dance but he politely declined, preferring to stay close to the shadows. Then he saw Rashel. She was wearing a knee length skirt with a slit that swished as she walked. A peasant top blouse completed the outfit. He watched her for a few minutes, talking to people, smiling, but she didn't dance. It seemed that she was looking for someone. Rashel turned just right and caught Raphael's eyes. With a smile she started to walk towards him when a loud crash was heard. Looking up, a kid dressed in punk gear had pushed over one of the speakers.
"Lock the doors, guys, it's party time!" He shouted. Immediately everyone was in a panic and Raphael lost sight of Rashel. Looking around, his brothers were nowhere to be seen. Another guy, this dressed all in black with spiked red hair, walked up and screamed into the microphone.
"Quiet!" Everyone stopped looking at him. "Good, now here's what we're going to do. First, members, select ten people, five guys, five girls and tie the rest up in the back. We'll use them later." An ugly grinned spread across the guys face.
"As for the ten, well, let's just say we'll hope to raise our demon master." Among the chosen were the following. A small blond, no taller than 4'10", a brunet who was wearing a lot of makeup, Rashel, A taller blond, and a medium sized girl with black hair. For the guys they chose, one who had a nose ring and black hair, Donatello, Raphael, one who had short blond hair, and last a small brown haired guy with glasses. The rest, including Leonardo and Michelangelo was tied up in the back. Each of the ten was tied to a chair and set in a row in front of the stage. The red-spiked guy was still on stage.
"Welcome to our party, I'm so glad that you responded to the flyers, my name is Ronan, but my friends call me Roe." He paused looking at each person. Raphael was one chair away from Rashel, towards the middle, Donatello was on the end. A table was dragged together with three others, making it long enough to lay on.
"Who wants to go first," Ronan asked. No one spoke at first. Looking around, Ronan walked up to Rashel. "I recognize you, you helped distribute the flyers." Ronan touched Rashel's cheek, which she turned away. Irritated he slapped her, making Rashel gasp. "Don't turn away from me. You are going to go first."
"You son of a …" one of the thugs punched Raphael in the face making him stop was he was about to say.
"You like this one?" Ronan asked. "I like your spirit, if you want to join us, then you can do the honors."
"Only if I can spear you and…" Ronan waved his hand and several thugs started to beat on Raphael.
"Stop this you monsters," Rashel screamed. The thugs kept going until Ronan told them to stop. He nodded to another who untied Rashel from the chair and lifted her up. She went limp in his arms making it hard to carry her at a stand up angle. When the thug let go to get a better grip, Rashel sprang up, kicking the thug in the face. Several jumped on her at once overpowering her and took her to the table. As they tied her up one leg slipped away, kicking Ronan in the face. Wiping his mouth, he grabbed Rashel's face and gripped it hard enough to bruise.
"Now you'll die slowly," and pushed her head down. Donatello was playing with something behind the chair while Raphael, who was growing more angry struggle in his chair.
"You'll enjoy this," Ronan said sarcastically to Raphael and turned to Rashel. Some thuds were heard in the back room where everyone else was, and got Ronan's attention. He pointed to two thugs.
"You two stay here, the rest come with me," Ronan led the way followed by eight others. Once he was out of the room, one of the thugs walked up to Rashel and started to mock her.
"Ha see what you get for mouthing off?" This one had a mohawk that was yellow.
"Yeah, you'll get what's coming to you," the other one chanted. Still in a bit of a daze Rashel looked up at them and what she saw made her smile.
"No, you'll get what's coming to you first," Rashel said softly. At the thugs confused look, Donatello hit one on the head with his bo, while Raphael, knocked the other out with the handle on his sai. As Rashel watched them walk over, she could have sworn she was seeing huge walking turtles. Closing her eyes, she stopped thinking it was the dizziness that was making her see things. Donatello went to go help his brothers, while Raphael untied Rashel and then untied the rest of the people. A few minutes go by and the other three turtles come out, smile's on their faces.
"Someone call the cops, those guys are all tied up in there," Leonardo said. A person went to call the police while another brought a few damp washcloths to help clean up Rashel and Raphael. Rashel's vision cleared and she realized she wasn't hallucinating, these were turtles, four of them. Looking around no one seemed to noticed so she didn't say anything and helped Raphael clean up as well. Once the police arrive and arrested the thugs, they thanked the turtles.
"You guys were great, we've been trying to catch these guys for a month." At the door the police man paused. "I'm glad you boys stopped them before they actually had a chance to really hurt someone." Most of the people were gone now. The only ones left was Rashel, the turtles and some people catching a ride with others.
"Do you have a ride home?" Raphael asked Rashel. She nodded her head.
"Yeah, my brother is on his way," Rashel said and folded her arms. " I didn't want to walk home alone tonight.
"You wouldn't have been alone, I would have watched over you," Raphael said softly. Rashel smiled and hugged Raphael. When her brother came in Rashel gave each of the guys a hug and whispered in Raphael's ear.
"Thank god I had my guardian turtles to watch over me," Rashel said. At Raphael's astonished expression Rashel winked and walked out of the club with her brother. Once they heard the car door close, Raphael turned to his brothers.
"She saw us…" Then Raphael paused feeling the familiar tingle. "It's starting again." They each grabbed hands again as the sensation started it's familiar spread now. Rashel burst in just before they left.
"Hey I wanted to say…" Then she paused as she watched the turtles glow brighter. As the flash happened Rashel closed her eyes then looked to where they were standing. Rashel's brother tapped her shoulder.
"Ready to go?" He asked. Slowly Rashel nodded and headed home.
~ Oh and yes the last girl was based off of me. There's a bit of inside to my life, except I've never been kidnapped like that thank god. And the kiss, that was a I really like you and thank you kiss. Don't forget I'm Italian, so I'm allowed to thank people like that :o) I just wanted to clear that up for anyone.
