Sasha was washing the blood off her swords when one of her sisters walked in. "Yes, Kia. What do you want?" Kia looked down at her nun chucks, then back at her sister. "Sasha, do you think we were a little too rough with them. I mean…"
"KIA!" Sasha turned to her younger sister with shock in her eyes. "How can you ask that? They are the bad guys. Remember the story Master Shredder told us when we were about 15, how they tried to kill him? And then last year they did. If it wasn't for the ooze being so mysterious, Master may have died and then what would have happened to us?"
Kia nodded. "But if they are so bad, why do they seem so nice. The one I was fighting…the one with the purple bandana and the bo, he seemed shocked at our existence and had kindness in his eyes before I hurt him."
"That is a trick Kia, you and I both know that. Master Shredder is the good guy. He is the one who took us in when we had no place to go. He fed us. Surly you don't want to go back to eating garbage at the dump do you?" Kia shook her head. "Kia," Sasha said placing a hand on the younger turtle's shoulders, "Master Shredder does nothing but good things for the world. He takes care of us and the Foot solders. Did you know that most all of the ninjas were drug addicts and drunks before he found them. Now they are all clean and working a respectable job."
"If it is so respectable, then why do they steal?" Sasha shrugged. "I don't know. Probably for survival, but maybe Master is like a modern day Robin Hood. You remember, 'steal from the rich and give to the poor' That kind of thing."
Kia nodded as the two other turtles walked in. The one with the black bandana and the bo sat down at a small table on the other side of the room. "That was a wonderful show you put on tonight Sasha. I wonder if that red turtle is going to ever have children."
Sasha smiled at her sister. "Judy…Judy…Judy, haven't you learned not to talk about things like that in front of us. We aren't interested."
Judy smiled back at her sister and nodded. "Riiiight."
The pink bandana turtle popped Judy on the back of the head with the blunt end of her sais. "Ow, damn it Autumn. How dare you do that."
Autumn laughed before taking a chair next to Judy. "Bitch," Judy whispered. Autumn smiled. "Thank you."
Sasha shook her head before taking a seat at the table with her sisters. Kia put her nun chucks on the table before looking up at the others.
"So…what do you guys want to do?"
The other three girls looked at Kia, then at each other. Autumn looked at her sais, which she placed on the table. "I don't know about you guys, but I thought that those turtles we fought today were awfully cute."
Kia smiled and nodded in agreement. "The one I was fighting, with the purple, had beautiful gray eyes." Judy smiled at the youngest sister. "The one I was fighting, with the blue, had the greenest eyes I had ever seen. He was so surprised at seeing me, he didn't even notice the first two blows I gave him." Sasha nodded. "Fine, I admit they were cute, even if they are the bad guys."
All conversation stopped. The girls sighed together and nodded. Judy was the first to speak. "Damn it. He was so cute too. I'm going to work out. I need to get out this frustration."
"Wait, Judy…I have an idea," Kia said. Judy sat back down and leaned in to hear her sister's idea.
April was sitting at her computer, working on a news story, when she heard a familiar knock on her door. She opened the door and in walked her four turtle friends and Casey, another human friend of the turtles. Casey sat down on the Lazy-boy recliner and made himself at home. Leo and Raph sat on April's couch while Donny and Mikey sat on the floor next to the couch. April sat on the arm of the Lazy-boy.
"What's up guys?" Donny looked at April. "Are you still in touch with that scientist guy from TGRI?" April looked a little shocked at the question, but finally nodded in response. "Why?"
Donny looked at his brothers then back at April. "We need to know if he lost another canister of ooze besides the one we know about."
April looked confused, so Mikey filled her in on the details of why. "Oh," she said before getting up and grabbing her phone. April walking in the other room, leaving Casey and the turtles alone.
"So, get you butts whipped by a bunch of girls huh? How easy the mighty fall when they see a pretty face." Raph jumped up at that, but Leo placed a calming hand on his brother's arm, making Raph sit back down.
"That isn't what happened Casey. We were simply surprised. We thought we were the only ones and just found out we aren't." Casey sat up in his chair and looked at the turtles seriously. "Come on, don't tell me you haven't thought about what it would be like if some girl turtles like yourselves came into existence. You guys are 18 years old now, and have lived all alone with each other and a rat for all these years. Now, all of a sudden, four girls show up and you aren't even thinking about it. That's nuts."
Casey turned to Donny. "Were they pretty Donny? You can tell me." Donny's eyes went wide as he thought about the one he fought. The way her violet eyes shimmered with anger when she fought him. He couldn't deny it she was pretty. "I have to admit that they were pretty, at least the one I fought, but that is not the important factor here. They work for Shredder and they are stronger than us."
April walked back in with a grave look on her face. "April, babe, what's wrong?" Mikey asked. April looked up at the four turtles in her living room.
"I just talked to Dr. Hanigan, who confirmed that only one capsule of ooze was lost." Donny stood and walked over to April. He placed his three-fingered hand on her shoulder. "You sure?" April nodded before continuing. "However, he did say one thing of some importance." Everyone looked at April as she took a deep breath.
"He said that four test turtles were found missing the same day the ooze disappeared. All of which were female."
