Donny and Raph looked towards the door to their lair, seeing two figures in
the
main hall, one on the ground, the other helping him up. Raph looked at the two standing
there, and suddenly he felt the red-hot rage burning up inside him again. One of the
figures standing there was Akira! Without even thinking, Raph grabbed one of his sai
and charged. He ran straight towards Akira, and was surprised when Akira suddenly
disappeared. He stopped himself, and looked back, to see Akira reappear. Raph looked
over at Donny and saw that he looked as surprised as Raph felt. Raph looked at Akira
"where did you learn that?" He demanded, still suspicious about the two visitors. "Get
the rest of your family together and we'll explain everything." Akira told him, sounding
calm even though his heart was beating like crazy.
Donny looked at Akira, then at the person standing next to Akira, then at Raph, who looked like he was gonna hurt somebody. He then sighed and went downstairs to gather the rest of his family. Raph walked into the kitchen, to call April and Casey so they could come down.
When everyone was together in the living room, Akira and his friend stood before
them, both obviously a little scared to be there. After looking at each other for a minute,
Akira began to speak. "You probably want to know why I'm here, why I risked my life
to come down here and talk with you. Before I explain the situation to you, I would like
to introduce my friend Devon to you, he is also a member of the Foot, and I brought him
here to explain some things to you." Devon bowed to the group, while Akira looked at
Raph and said "I'm sure you are wondering why I was able to do that spell on you, when
you thought no one but your sister could do that. I want to tell you a story about what has
been going on in the Foot for the past few weeks." Akira paused, and looked around the
room, breathing heavily, in fear of Raph attacking him during his story. He took a deep
breath and continued.
"A few weeks ago, we inducted a new member into the Foot, you guys sister, Venus. She became a member of the Elite, and I was asked to show her around and introduce her to everybody. When I talked to her, she mentioned the fact that she couldn't stand living here anymore, and she needed to get away from her before she went insane. She also mentioned the fact that she was sick of the abuse she suffered here, which I found strange since the four of you always seemed to dote on her. A couple of days ago, I was walking towards a meeting, when Devon stopped me and told me he needed to talk to me." Devon, who had been standing quietly the whole time Akira was speaking, looked up at the faces of Venus's family.
"I took Akira to the Shredder's room, where he kept all his documents. I showed Akira a book that Shredder had on hypnosis, and asked him what he thought of it. When Akira didn't respond, I should him the spot where it talked about inflicting untrue dreams and memories on people, and mentioned the fact that the chapter talking about this seemed to be well read. Akira and I then started to search through the room, trying to find anything that we could to explain what we were thinking. We then found a notebook, written by the Shredder." With that, Devon showed them a well used spiral notebook with writing all over it. "We looked in
it, and found notes from the Shredder to members of the Elite, with notes about certain
things that each of you might call Venus when you're mad at her." Devon handed Raph
the notebook, and Raph looked at it. When he was done, he looked up and looked at
Akira and Devon. "I don't get it, why would he want to know any kind of nicknames we
had for Venus?" Raph demanded to know, trying to piece together the puzzle. "He used
this information to plant ideas in Venus's head, trying to make her think that you were
abusing her. He then used this book to manipulate her, confusing her to the point where
she realized that she didn't want to be here, she would rather be with the Foot." Mikey,
who had been listening quietly since Akira had started speaking, finally said something.
"Why would he want Venus though? Why not one of us? Wouldn't it have been better
to take Raph, who he had already asked to join?" Akira looked at Mikey and said "from
what I think, he took Venus for two reasons. One, two hamper the whole `survival of the
species' thing, because if he takes her, then there is no female turtles to have children.
Second, I think that he wanted to get back at Raph for not joining when he was given the
chance, and maybe he was even going to propose a trade. That's my theory, I could be
wrong, but I'm betting that I'm not." Leo looked at Akira, and then sighed. "What then
do you propose that we do? We can't just run in there, give them Raph, take Venus and
split." "We'll think of something," April told him, "we won't just leave her there. We'll
get her out of there and kick some ass while we do it to."
