Chapter 3: Allies in the shadows
Raphal looked up at the clock, it was around seven and the sun had just set
in New York City. *Time.* He thought as he garbed his sais from the training
room. "Raph? Where ya going?" Michelangelo asked his elder brother.
"Out. Why?" Raphael asked, Michelangelo shurgged. "Just wondering if all of
us should go. After all we are better as a team." He said, Raph sighed. "Yea.
Ok get the others but hurry up." He snapped. "Righto bro." Mickey said as he
went to get Leonardo and Donatello.
And meanwhile all was not peaceful at Keno's home, anyone could hear that
from the shouting .....
"Now I want to know where you keep sneaking off to!" Keno shouted at Nastu.
"It is done of your damn business where I do or do not go!" Nastu shouted back
at him, Keno had caught Nastu trying to sneak out when she thought he and their
father had left for work but only their father left as Keno stayed behind.
"It is my business when it concerns my family! Nastu if you are hanging out with a
gang you are going to end up dead! Dead, in jail or on the streets! Do you want that?"
Asked Keno, arms folded across his chest, as he looked at Nastu with a look only
an brother could manage. "I'm not your family! The only family I have is the Pack!
And you can't take them from me Keno! You may be of my blood but you aren't
my family, only my gang is my family!" Nastu snarled angerily as she turned to go.
Keno garbed for Nastu's arm but she jerked away from him and shot him a look that
told him to back off. Then Nastu was out the door and running as Keno called to her.
"Nastu!" But the angery teenager kept running like her life depended on her as she
swallowed back some sobs that burned in her thoart. *Damn them! It not like Keno,
my father or my mother cared anything about me before, why should they now?* She
thought angerily.
Nastu was in good shape so she got a good distance before she finally had to slow to
a walk and looked around at her surroundings. *Uh oh.* Nastu thought as she looked
around, she was out of her gang's turf and on it's rival; the Blood Brothers turf. *I better
get out of here before those scums cacth me.* She thought as she brushed a bang from
her eyes and walked in an eastward direction.
"Well, well. What do we got here?" Nastu looked up and frowned deeply, it was Alex,
leader of the Blood Brothers with about two other guys. "Looks to me like it is one of the
Pack lapdogs." A loud mouth boy about a year younger then Nastu said. The others laughed
though Nastu didn't see anything amusing in this. "What do you want?" She asked sharply.
"You to get out of our turf, you peice of half breed trash." Alex snarled, Nastu plastered
a calm, causal look on her face. "Who you calling trash? You might need to take a look
in the mirror, pal." She said, voice full of spit, she was Japanese - American and was
proud of it.
"Listen, if you're looking for a fight we got some other guys here." The one beside the
loud mouth said, Nastu recognized him to be Terry, a guy with big muscles and a bad
attitude. *But no brains it seems.* She thought as she looked at them, studying them
before she nodded slighty to herself, she could take them.
"Then pity your friends." Nastu said calmly looking sky wards, they could have been
discussing the weather the way she was acted right then. "Fine then!" Terry came at
Nastu first swinging but Nastu ducked easily under him and with a foot sweep knocked
him off his feet and a kick to the face kept him there.
"You guys must have studied the abrigded book of street fighting." She muttered as
Loud Mouth tried to knock her over but she garbed his outstreched arm and flipped
him over her shoulder right on to Terry.
"I mean come on. How do you expect to beat me?" She asked, Alex grinned and let out
a whislte, Nastu frowned deeply seeing about eight more guys show up. "Good answer.
Good answer." Nastu said looking at the newcomers. *Eleven to one. Not good odd
Luna.* She thought to herself as her stance slipped into one of defense though she knew
she was getting ready for a beating.
None of the gang members noticed four figures on one of the rooftops. "Seem Nastu is
in trouble." Donatello said looking at the fight below. "Yea, so we help her or let the girl
get what she desreves?" Raphael asked like he didn't care but Leonadro saw the way his
eyes wacthed Nastu and the clear protection in them, weither he and the others said no
Raphael was going to go fight.
*But the question is can we risk being seen? Or are we going to let this girl ... this gangster
get beaten up?* He wondered as he looked at his three other brothers and then back to
the ground.
Nastu looked around at the elven gang members. *I really did it this time.* She thought
as Terry, now getting up from where she smacked him into the dirt smirked. "Well, well,
well. How the tables have turned." He chuckled as he calmly strode forward. "Who's going
to save you now, little girl?"
Nastu looked on with a false bravado. "What makes you guys think I don't have an ace
or two up my sleeves." She asked him. Alex raised an eybrow. "One megar girl aganist
eleven guys, face it lap dog, you're screwed." He grinned wickly then. "But if you give up
now I promise we make sure it don't hurt as much." He said looking at Nastu that let her
know his full intentions.
Natsu felt a chill run up and down her spine, but she refused to show fear. "You guys are
going to be so sore when I get through with you." She said, preparing to fight, if she was
going down then she go down fighting and taking a few of them with her. "Not likely girly."
With that it started!
Nastu held her own at first, weaving in and out of fights so even to the ones above it look
like she might pull thourgh. But where Nastu had skill the other gangsters had sheer number,
she couldn't take all of them.
Eventually, the gang wore Nastu down and beat her into the ground. "That'll teach you to act
so big, when you are nothing." Alex spat at her as he looked at the battered teenager smirking
as he garbed her by the hair and pulled her up, frocing out a soft cry of pain to which he and
his comrades laughed.
"Now that's no way to treat such a pretty lady." The voice that came from the shadows startled
him, and Alex looked up. Unfortunately for him, all he managed to do was get a perfect view
of the fist that slammed into his face right before a sai was thorw into the air, breaking the blub
of the street light and plunging all of them into darkness.
Nastu felt someone garbed her under the arms and she tried to lash out until she realized they
was dargging her away from the fight. "Stay here dudette and don't move." A male voice ordered.
*Like I could!* Nastu thought and heard the sounds of the fight, cries of pain, metal striking
skin and finally feet running away.
After she guessed everyone was gone Nastu spat blood onto the ground from a brusted lip and
looked at it dizzingly. *Oh this can't be good.* She thought as she pushed herself to her knees
only to fall back down. *Come on Luna, if they come back they will kill you or wrose! Got to
get up! Got to get to the Pack.* She thought trying to get up but though her spirit was willing
her body wasn't.
The effects of the beating were too much to over come, as Nastu slipped back onto the ground,
not able to get up more then to her knees before falling over. *Well looks like I'm going to be
here for a while.* She thought as looked around the darkness, hoping the Blood Brothers weren't
coming back.
But, as she did so, she could have sworn that she saw what looked like humanoid looking turtles
looking her over before the darkness started to close in on her more and she closed her eyes. "She
is brave, got to give her that." Nastu closed her eyes hearing a soft male voice.
"Go away." She managed to groan as she felt someone touched her face. "Come on lets get her to
the lair. Donny can treat her there." Another male voice said as Nastu was blindfolded and picked
up. As exshauted and beaten as she was she managed to muster the engery to sqiurm in protest but
gave up as the arms holding her only tightened some. "Calm down dudette, we aren't going to hurt
ya." Nastu sighed regonizing that voice of the person that dragged her from the fight, knowing she
couldn't get away Nastu gave in to her fate as darkness claimed her.
