Disclaimer: I don't own any of them. How could I? I do own Kara though, so please don't take her. But if you do, what can I do. I can see it now... "Yes, Mr. Judge, that guy right there was the one that stole my character that I made specially for an illegal purpose".
A/n Thanks a bunch to ShadowElfBard who is Beta reading for me. I also want to say... Please review!!! I need them! I honestly do! I live off of them!

WARNING, FIRST PERSON KARA:
Last night was great. I wonder if the guys do that every night.
I decided not to go for my morning run today because I ran so much last night. Leo and the guys said that after their morning practice they would teach me more stuff. Haha, I think that Ralph is kind of confused on how to teach me. I know stuff that's in the middle of training. I kind of skipped the basics because I already have the muscles and instincts to do everything. I just lack in the "how-to" department. They said that I would need to learn how to have more mind-body connection before I can learn the really hard stuff that they do. Jarod is already learning that from master Splinter. I think he's taken to meditating. I like it too, but I like the workouts more. I don't know why I am so interested in Ninjitsu. Maybe it is so that I won't be so easily controlled. Maybe it's because I simply want to know how. I don't know what it is, but I am determined to learn all I can know.
I like the idea of having friends my age. I can't go to school anymore because Jarod says that it would be too easy for The Centre to find us. I go on a pretend as a kid at school every once in awhile, but I can never keep the friends that I make. I still keep in touch with Maggie and the others, but that is hard to do, too. The Centre still watches them closely. I talk to them online a lot, but I've only been able to see them twice since our escape. The turtles are the first real friends that I have made since this all started. I know that Jarod isn't worrying about The Centre much, because really, who would think that we were living in the sewers with four teenage mutant ninja turtles and their rat master?
I think I like Mikey the best. Don't get me wrong! I like them all. It is just that Mikey has this feeling surrounding him. He seems to try to be friends with me the most. The other guys try to be friends with me too, but Mikey just wants someone to share the daily gossip and a bunch of giggles with.
It's weird. I relate to each o f the turtles so well. I try to have fun like Mikey. I am stubborn like Ralph. I am smart like Donny, and I am thoughtful like Leo.
There was only one thing that was really eating at me. I have been having dreams lately. I don't usually have dreams because I don't sleep long enough. The last time I had a dream was, let's see here... The last time I had a dream was right before I was kidnapped. These dreams are kind of the same. In my dreams I am back at The Centre. The only thing was that The Centre was actually a school. (You know the feeling-where you know what it is, but it looks different.) The teachers were scientists and the turtles were with me. I was a turtle too. We were in an art class. It looked like we were being taught, but really we were being analyzed. It also looked like we were having fun but the main feeling in the room was depression. I knew that everybody was longing to get out somehow. I would wake up at that point and sit in my bed thinking. I knew partially what the dream meant. The school part was that I was longing for my regular life where I didn't have to lie about where I came from. The Centre-like feeling was that I was scared The Centre would find my new friends and me. I knew what it meant, but I still didn't like it. Now I know why people don't like to dream. When I was normal I rarely ever dreamt. If I did dream, they were always pleasant and hazy or completely clear and terrifying. I had better go out into the kitchen to get something to eat. The guys will be waking up for practice soon and I want to watch.
END FIRST PERSON
Kara walked into the kitchen to see Ralph and Donny playing "keep the cookies away from Mikey". They currently were throwing the pack of cookies from one to the other. Mikey was complaining as he tried to get them back.
"Come on guys. Give um to me. I'm a growing turtle and I need my nutrition."
"Oh really, Mike. Nutrition? You would be better off eating pizza," said Donny as he threw the cookies to Ralph.
"Actually, the chocolate chips are good for your heart and the cookies part of it is a grain so it is pretty healthy."
Ralph looked over at Kara and chuckled. " And where did ya learn that one?"
He tossed the cookies to her. She opened them and pulled one out.
"That was the excuse Jarod gave me when I told him he eats too many…. only a much longer version."
Kara was about to eat her cookie when Jarod walked in and relieved her of it.
"Bad idea."
He ate her cookie before she could protest.
"You'll be bouncing off the walls all day."
Kara took a cookie from the box. "Then I'll make sure the guys work me extra hard and I stay up extra late. Besides it's only... .598 grams of sugar."
Jarod turned to the guys and gave them a shrug. "Hey, I tried. Now you guys get to deal with her and her "hyperness" for the rest of the day."
"Why are you up so early anyway?" Asked Kara.
"That mediation really does something for you. I got the best night's sleep I have had in a long time, and it was only six hours. Yet I feel awake and totally refreshed."
Jarod walked out of the room leaving the teenagers to themselves.
"So can I have my cookies now?" Asked Mikey as he quickly moved over to the table to grab some cookies before anyone could tell him not to. Leo called for them to get into the dojo before Splinter made them do flips. At the mention of flips the guys made a mad break for the dojo. Kara laughed so hard she almost choked on her hard-earned cookie.
In the dojo the guys were warming up. Kara walked in right when Splinter started talking. She silently sat down on the mats to watch them work out.
"Now my sons, a true ninja must strike fear into their enemy. Sometimes with our most hated enemies, your looks may not be enough. Michelangelo! I am a purple dragon. Scare me."
Mikey thought about it for a few minutes then came up to his master and tried to make scary faces.
"Too expected Michelangelo. Leonardo you try."
Leo came up to Splinter and tried to disarm him while looking like it was a minor thing to do. He missed.
"Too easy, and it looks foolish and weak, Leonardo."
Ralph charged at him and Don tried to back him into a wall. Splinter informed all of them of their mistakes.
"You, my sons, need to learn many things."
Mikey sat on the floor pouting. " 'S not fair. Kara scared that guy last night so bad that he probably won't leave his house for the rest of his life."
Splinter looked over to where Kara was sitting.
"Well Takara, would you like to show my sons how you strike fear in the hearts of your enemies."
Kara walked over to where the guys were sitting before their Sensei.
"Well Master, there is no way to strike fear into someone who hates you flat out. If it is someone that does not know you, or someone that just wants to hurt you is what you are talking about, then it is easy. You act the opposite of what looks like your nature it. For me, it looks like I am a kid so I should be having fun and playing pranks. The way I scare people is acting like I am older and more superior to them. I can scare anybody I want except for one group of people. That is The Centre. They hate me and would do anything to get me. There is not much you can do against hate."
"I believe that you, Takara, could strike fear into anybody you wanted to. Your choice to refrain from such acts is just. Thank you."
Kara went back over to the mats to watch the guys continue to practice. Splinter gave them another short lecture and then paired them up to spar. Mikey went against Leo, and Ralph went against Donny. Then they started to fight. There was no mercy when they fought whatsoever. When they knew they could get a hit with their weapons, they went in for it, but stopped right before they struck. In the end they were all tied. Kara was not surprised. The guys walked over to her after they were dismissed.
"So are you ready for more lessons?"
"Well, I think so. As ready as I'll ever be, anyways."
"Ok, well for these ones you really need to practice. I'm just warning you that you can't learn them from just watching. You know the mediation that Splinter taught you and Jarod last night before we went out? Well, you are going to be putting that to use," Leo warned.
"I think I can do it. That mediation was not too different from pretending. It was like pretending to be yourself and then letting go. I kind of liked it."
"Ok, I don't know why anybody would actually like to sit still for that long by their own free will, but I have a move for you."
Mikey stood up and jumped high into the air. He kicked his legs out in opposite directions and then landed.
"It's called a split kick."
Kara got off the mats and tried to perform the move but failed.
"Dude, how do you guys do that!?"
Ralph laughed as he too preformed a perfect split kick. "You have to believe totally that you can do it and you can't stop once you hit your target. You have to kick through your target."
He held up a board and Leo kicked through it. Kara tried but still failed.
"It's alright. It takes time. I just wanted to show you so that you could practice it," said Mikey. "Let's move on to some of the more moderate stuff."

"Why did you bring me here, Saki? Are you telling me that my enemies are in the sewers?"
"That is exactly what I am saying, Mr. Lyle. My soldiers have informed me that they have teamed up with MY enemies. I do not care what you do to them. I just want them gone. I will give you a warning though. They are not normal. They are well versed in Ninjitsu and they can overpower all of your men without even so much as breaking a sweat. If you are to get your property back then you need to have a plan that involves eliminating my enemies as well. They will not let their friends be taken without a fight. I suggest you get tranquilizer guns."
"Willie! Take six teams of sweepers and search the sewers. If you find anything then call me and sit tight. You there, go find tranquilizer guns. They are not going to elude me this time."

MIKEY FIRST PERSON
Dude it was so awesome today. We were trying to teach Kara to pick pocket. That was the laugh of a lifetime. Ralph stole her wallet to show her how good he was. While he was in the process of stealing it, Kara stole his bandanna! That's right! Right off his head it came, and she sat there with it in her hand as she let him pick her pocket. When he showed her her wallet in his hand she put on an expression of mock surprise. My bros and I were trying so hard not to laugh. I finally lost it when Ralph said how alert you had to be to keep yourself from getting pick pocketed. I rolled around on the floor laughing and Leo and Don soon joined me. Ralph just stood there looking confused before Kara held up his bandanna. His hands shot up to his face to find that it indeed was gone. That was almost too much for me. I swear I could have died from laughing at that very moment. Ralph prides himself on being alert and on being fearless. Here this kid, that's not even a ninja, was able to take his bandanna off his head. She explained that she had had a lot of practice in the field of breaking and entering, stealing, and picking locks.
Now we were on another nightly patrol. Kara seemed to be enjoying herself. I don't know which is worse, knowing that there is a world above you that will not accept you, or living in a world that you are forced to shun. She seems happy with us, though.
Right when I was about to ask Kara about Jarod, a team of ninjas dropped down in front of us.
"Who are they?" Kara asked as we all drew our weapons.
"They are the Foot, Shredder's lackeys." I told her.
"Yeah, and by the looks of it Shredder is not getting any smarter. We could kick these guys' buts in our sleep. Either that or they have a message for us. So what is it, huh? What does big ol' bad Shred-Head want to warn us about this time?"
I swear Ralph is gonna get himself killed one of these days with those remarks.
"The Shredder says that you had better get back to your home before your rat friend is disposed of."
Ralph stopped twirling his Sais and stood there for a second. Then it dawned on him. He let out a monstrous roar and charged at the spokesperson. The other Foot charged at us and the fight was on. It was a mere thirty-to-five. I had my six down in no time and went over to help Kara with hers. It was obvious that she was not sure how good she was yet because she kept on jumping around not letting the Foot too close. I think that their weapons scared her. She has seen us in weapons practice, but we have never spared with her yet. She was doing remarkably well and did not let her fear show. If I didn't know her I would have thought that she was bored. I also noticed that she did not kill any of her opponents. We don't kill unless it is necessary and I am glad that she realized that a life, no matter whose, is worth a lot. I helped her with her last four guys. By that time the others had already taken down the rest.
Ralph stormed off. "They know where we live. We have to get home."
He jumped off the roof and was gone before we could stop him or reason with him.
Leo was clearly worried and Don was trying not to wonder too much.
I myself was worried. If The Shredder knew where we lived, then he would have had to have a way to find it. I mean, all these years and he only found our home once. He must have found something else that led him to the discovery of our home.
Leo and Don followed Ralph off the roof. Kara and I brought up the rear. We all slipped down the nearest manhole and went at a head long run towards our home. I could tell that Kara was holding back. I didn't blame her. She does not know her way around the sewers yet and she didn't know what she was to face if she showed up before we did. This was our fight, after all. She should never have gotten into this mess.
END FIRST PERSON
They arrived at the lair in a matter of minutes, compared to the half an hour it should have taken them. They burst through the doorway to be greeted by a ransacked home. They walked around looking at the mess. Suddenly a noise caused them all to turn towards the doorway.
"You know that making friends is a huge weakness. They can always be used against you."
Lyle walked around the doorway. His eyes widened and he stepped back a few feet in surprise at seeing the turtles.
"And I thought that rat was weird," he mumbled in an exasperated tone.
At the sight of Lyle, Kara too took a pace backwards.
"Lyle!" She hissed as she pulled out her Bo staff. She looked to her left to see four sweepers standing over the bodies of Splinter and Jarod.
"What did you do to them?" She demanded in a low tone.
"The same thing I'm going to do to you."
When Leo caught sight of his unconscious Sensei he let out a thunderous roar. He drew both his Katanas and was about to charge Lyle.
"Leo! No!" He heard Ralph scream as Lyle raised his gun in defense. Ralph jumped in front of Leo to stop him from charging Lyle just as Lyle pulled the trigger. He missed his original target but manage to shoot Ralph in the upper arm. Suddenly Ralph turned and pulled out one sai as he pressed his other arm to his side. He spun in around and readied to throw it.
"You see, I was feeling generous despite all this and was going to keep Leo from killing you. But I don't know. You drugged our Sensei, made our friend's lives a living heck and just shot me? I think I just might save Leo the trouble and kill you myself."
He was about to let his sai fly when he let out a grunt. He put his Sai back in his belt so that he could pull the dart out of his neck. Before the others could move a muscle they were all darted in the same way.
"Next time act faster. That thing was about to kill me!" Lyle yelled at the sweepers handling the tranquilizer guns.
"And I still can," muttered Ralph as he pulled the Sai out of his belt.
He was about to raise it when fell to the ground unconscious. The other followed suit seconds later.
"Get them out of here and onto the jet," Lyle ordered.
A/n yeah so there it is! I love this chapter! (Sorry but I do!) Just to let you guys know. If you ever gave your dog pop then you would know that is how Kara gets with sugar. She is really hyper for a little bit then she calms down but craves more pop. (By the way if you do give your dog pop [which I don't advise] make sure that it is not Mountain Dew!) Man, you give those puppies MTD and they bounce off the walls! Oh well, please review. I love them and probably couldn't live with out them. (The reviews not the puppies, but I like puppies too!)

"You see, I was feeling generous despite all this and was going to keep Leo from killing you. But I don't know. You drugged our Sensei, made our friend's lives a living heck and just shot me? I think I just might save Leo the trouble and kill you myself."
He was about to let his sai fly when he let out a grunt. He put his Sai back in his belt so that he could pull the dart out of his neck. Before the others could move a muscle they were all darted in the same way.
"Next time act faster. That thing was about to kill me!" Lyle yelled at the sweepers handling the tranquilizer guns.
"And I still can," muttered Ralph as he pulled the Sai out of his belt.
He was about to raise it when fell to the ground unconscious. The other followed suit seconds later.
"Get them out of here and onto the jet," Lyle ordered.
A/n yeah so there it is! I love this chapter! (Sorry but I do!) Just to let you guys know. If you ever gave your dog pop then you would know that is how Kara gets with sugar. She is really hyper for a little bit then she calms down but craves more pop. (By the way if you do give your dog pop [which I don't advise] make sure that it is not Mountain Dew!) Man, you give those puppies MTD and they bounce off the walls! Oh well, please review. I love them and probably couldn't live with out them. (The reviews not the puppies, but I like puppies too!)
