Chapter 4
Lured Into a Trap
A/N: Well, I'm back with an update! Sorry it took so long, but I had major writer's block and college was keeping me busy as it always does. Well, first I want to say a prayer for Pope John Paul II who passed away on Saturday. May he rest in Heaven with the Lord. I also want to say a prayer for Terri Schiavo. May she also rest in Heaven with the Lord. On a lighter note, I want to congratulate Batista and John Cena, two of my favorite WWE superstars for becoming champions at Wrestlemania 21! You guys rock! I'm a definite member of the Chain Gang. Okay, now here's the shout-outs to all the readers who maed my heart soar with their wonderful reviews:
Chibi Rose Angel: Yeah, I am evil, aren't I? I just had to do that. Thanks for the compliments. You will see more in this chapter. Keep reading and reviewing!
Pacphys: Yeah, I liked writing the part where Leo had Raph confused. I agree with your take on rap. Some rap is good, but a lot of it isn't. I like Will Smith's rapping and John Cena's, but that's it. Most other people I don't like. Yeah, I didn't want them to take it well. I wanted them to take it badly. Keep reading and reviewing!
Mikaela's Spade: Hey, thanks for jumping on board! I liked your stories too. I hope you write more and update the one I've read. Thanks for all the nice compliments that you gave. They made my heart soar. I know you aren't flaming me with that one comment about your attention span. Believe me, I know a flame when I see one. I have gotten them before. My fic rocks? Thanks! Keep reading and reviewing!
Mac: Thanks for the review. Yeah, it was a little sad. I was going for that. Do you have a virus protection program on your computer? If you get that, viruses shouldn't come in. I have one. Of course, I do my typing at school, and they have one. Try to get one so you can write your stories. That person is mean! They should get their butt kicked! I just want to read that PPG/Turtles crossover since I'm a fan of both shows. I just think it would be neat. Keep reading and reviewing!
Amberli Raven: Wow! You like wrestling too? Cool! I love wrestling, apart from liking the Turtles. I also like Randy Orton, but I don't know if he's gonna be a bad guy now or a good guy. Did you know that the Undertaker beat him at Wrestlemania 21? I knew that would happen. I also like Batista and John Cena. The champs are here! Yay! Keep reading and reviewing, and don't forget to watch SmackDown tomorrow! It should be good.
Shellsboy 24: Thanks for your review, sweetie! You'll just have to read to find out the answers. Leo and Karai are not in denial. I think they're just too shy to admit that they like each other. Keep reading and reviewing! Batista and Cena rule and Triple H and JBL are losers! Ha ha!
Well, now that that's done, let's move on to the story that I have written.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Turtles. I only own the characters not related to the TMNT universe. I want to own the Battle Nexus DVD, but I can't find it! Darn it! Enjoy the story!
The next day, the girls got ready to go to the library. They went downstairs and found the Turtles in the kitchen, ready to have breakfast. Lorena just hoped that the Turtles wouldn't guess their real motive for going. She and her sisters knew that this would probably be the last time they would see their brothers.
"Hey, girls, you're just in time for some breakfast!" said Mikey cheerfully. "Sit down and dig in!"
The girls did as Mikey suggested. Nikki giggled when Klunk tried to get her food. The cat looked at her with eyes that said, "Please give me some."
"No, Klunk, you can't have any!" scolded Nikki. "Go eat your cat food."
"Mikey, did you feed your cat?" asked Raphael as Klunk proceeded to beg for food from him.
"Yeah, I did," answered Mikey. "He must have eaten it all." He went to Klunk's food dish to find that it was empty. "I was right," he said. The orange clad Turtle quickly got out the cat food and gave some to Klunk. "Here you go, buddy!" he said. "More food for you to eat!"
"So, what are you girls doing today?" Leo asked them.
"We're going to the library to do research for our project," answered Lorena. "Desiree and the others are coming with us."
"You could always do your research here," Donatello offered. "My computer's available."
"But, Donnie, you have to do your inventions," Becky protested.
"My inventions can wait," Don said. "Your project is more important."
"But we promised our friends we'd go with them to the library!" Leah insisted.
"Oh, all right, you can go," Leo said. "But don't be too long. Usagi's coming to visit, and I know he wants to see you guys. He likes spending time with you."
"Uncle Usagi's coming?" Lorena asked eagerly. "Is he staying the night?"
"I'm not sure," Leo answered. "He never said anything."
"Well, it's gonna be awesome!" Belinda commented. "Usagi's always fun to be around. Maybe he'll teach me some of those cool samurai moves he uses."
"Don't count on it, kiddo," Raph said, ruffling her hair playfully.
Suddenly, a portal opened, and a samurai rabbit came out. Miyamoto Usagi looked around at his friends with a smile on his face. It was good to be visiting the Lair again.
"Uncle Usagi!" Lorena cried, running to him to give him a hug. "I missed you!"
"I missed you as well, Lorena," Usagi said, giving her a squeeze. "How have you been?"
"Good," said Lorena. "My sisters and I have to do a project for school. We have to go to the library to find out more about our family."
"Oh, I see," said Usagi. "And you must be doing this today as well, I presume?"
"Yeah, we are," said Leah. "Our friends should be here soon."
No sooner had she said this when the elevator doors opened, and the girls' friends came in. They were a little surprised to see Usagi and waited for one of the girls to introduce him.
Lorena did the honors. "Uncle Usagi, these are our friends, Desiree, Jenny, Julia, Marisa, and Samantha," she said. "Guys, this is Miyamoto Usagi, one of the Turtles' friends."
"Pleased to meet you," said Desiree, and the others followed suit.
"It is an honor to meet you as well," replied Usagi. "The girls have told me a lot about the five of you. I do hope that we can all be friends."
"We hope that you will welcome us as friends, Usagi-san," said Jenny, bowing low. (A/N: Jenny is of Japanese descent and knows the custom of bowing.) The others weren't sure what to do.
"Mr. Miyamoto, were you the one that the Turtles met at the Battle Nexus?" asked Desiree.
"Yes, I did meet them there," answered Usagi. "And please, call me Usagi. Mr. Miyamoto makes me sound like an old human or something."
Lorena giggled. "Uncle Usagi, you are so funny!" she said. "I could never see you as old! I can't even picture the Turtles as old!" (A/N: Imagine Leo with a beard or Raph with a cane! LOL!)
"Yo, Lori, are we goin' to the library or not?" demanded Desiree. "We've got work to do!"
"Yeah, hold your horses, Desi," Lorena grumbled. She turned to her sisters. "Come on, you guys," she ordered. "We have to go."
"Okay, Miss Slave Driver," Leah complained. "You're even worse than Leo when he gets in a lecturing mood."
Raphael laughed at that. "Well, bro, she told you!" he said to Leo.
Leonardo just smiled wickedly. "Well, Leah, you're worse than Raph when Triple H loses a match!" he retorted playfully.
"Which hardly ever happens!"Raph added. "It only happened once where he lost the title, but he got it back!" (A/N: Did Raph watch Wrestlemania? Because Batista's the champ now! He he he!)
"Whatever," Leah said. "You guys are too much. Let's get out of here."
The girls waved good-bye to the Turtles, Usagi, and Splinter while Leo warned them to be careful. He had a feeling that anything could happen to them, even in daylight. Lorena promised that they would as she, her sisters, and their friends left.

Meanwhile, Hun came up to Shredder. "Master, the girls are heading to the library," he said. "One of our men saw them on the street."
"Excellent!" Saki said. "I can proceed with my plan." He grinned nastily as he thought about what he was going to do.
"Do you think the girls will fall for it?" Hun asked him.
"Oh, I know they will," replied Saki. "It will be the best trap I have ever laid." His evil laughter rang out throughout the headquarters. This time he would be victorious. There would be no doubt about that.
New York Public Library
"Nothing!" grumbled Belinda as she slammed a book shut. "I can't believe we can't find anything!"
"Well, it would help if we had more information," complained Leah. "We don't even know any dates."
"I can't even find anything about their murders," stated Becky.
"I thought Donnie had the papers," said Nikki. "I saw them when I tried to get Klunk away from his lab."
"Brilliant!" said Lorena enthusiastically. "Then we can go home and get them. I can even get the locket that Leo has. It has their picture and a date on it."
"So, we came all this way for nothing?" said Belinda grumpily.
"No, you didn't," said Desiree. "You guys at least tried to find information. It's better to try than to not try."
"I just found some information," said Jenny. "It talks a lot about my culture."
"Lucky you," said Leah sarcastically. "It's not fair! I wish we knew more than what we do." They were walking out of the library as she said this.
"Perhaps I can be of some assistance," a voice said. The girls looked up to see a man dressed in a trench coat.
"Who are you?" Belinda demanded. She wasn't one to trust strangers so easily. Raph had taught her not to trust anyone unless she was sure they had good intentions.
"I am Mr. Chang," the man said. "I was a friend of your parents."
Leah wanted to make sure he was telling the truth. "What did our father do?" she asked.
"He was a policeman," Mr. Chang replied. "He moved here because he found a better job."
"What was his name?" Lorena questioned.
"His name was John Lynch," Mr. Chang answered. "Your mother's name was Karen Lynch."
"What else do you know?" Nikki inquired.
"Many things that you are anxious to hear about," Mr. Chang replied. If you would allow me to take you to my house, we can discuss this matter."
"But our brothers will get worried," Lorena explained. "We have to tell them where we are."
'Oh, I'm sure your friends could let them know where you are," the man said, looking at Desiree and the others as he spoke.
Desiree pulled Lorena aside. "I don't like this, Lori," she said. "Maybe you should talk to the guys first."
"Oh, Desi, you worry too much," Lorena said. "It will be fine. Mr. Chang knew our parents. It's not like we're going off with a complete stranger."
"Maybe you should invite him to go to the park," Desiree suggested. "Or, you could talk right here. It would be safer."
"No," Lorena said decidedly. "I think it would be best to go with him. We can find out enough information to do our project." She turned to her sisters. "All in favor of following Mr. Chang, raise your hand." All the girls did so. "Just tell the guys where we went and that we'll be back later, okay?" she asked Desiree.
"Fine," Desiree said. "I'll do that. But I still don't like it."
"Great!" Lorena said happily. She and her sisters followed Mr. Chang to his home.
"What do we do now, Desiree?" Jenny asked.
"Should we follow them?" Samantha asked.
"No," Desiree replied. "We'll tell the Turtles what happened. They can bring the girls back. I don't like the looks of that guy."
The Lair
"Come on, Usagi, use your Special Move!" Mikey cajoled. He was on the couch with Usagi and Raph, teaching Usagi how to play WWE Day Of Reckoning.
"Oh, all right," Usagi said. He pushed the buttons to do his Special, but it wasn't working. "Why won't it work?" he asked.
"It's because you need to push the A and B buttons again," replied Mikey.
"Oh," said Usagi. He did as Mikey instructed and gave Triple H a Diamond Cutter.
"How mean!" complained Raphael. "You'll pay for that, Usagi!" He made Triple H power up and gave DDP the Pedigree. Then he pinned him for the win. "Ha! I win again!" he gloated.
"Not for long, Raph!" retorted Leo. "I'll be Batista and make you lose, just like it's going to happen at Wrestlemania 21!" (A/N: At the time that I wrote this, Wrestlemania hadn't happened yet, so Triple H was still the champ.)
Suddenly, the elevator doors opened and Desiree, Jenny, Samantha, Julia, and Marisa came into the Lair.
"Desiree, where are the girls?" demanded Leonardo. "Weren't they with you?"
"They went with some guy named Mr. Chang," Desiree replied. "He claimed to know about John and Karen Lynch." She described what he looked like. The Turtles gave a collective gasp.
"That sounds like Oroku Saki," said Splinter angrily. "He's a cunning man."
"We have to look for them," said Leo. "I'll call April and ask if you girls can stay there. Then I'll call Karai and see if she'll help. Usagi, if you would like, you may help us, too."
"I would be honored, Leonardo-san," said Usagi with a bow.
"Good," said Leo. "We start with the plan tonight. Shredder won't get away with hurting our sisters. We're gonna get them back!"

Meanwhile, the girls were led to a building that looked like someone's home. They didn't know that this was the headquarters (or part of the headquarters) of the Foot. All they cared about was getting the information they needed.
Mr. Chang led them to a room where a table was set for tea. Lorena recognized the Japanese cups used for the tea. It made her think of Master Splinter and how she would probably never see him again if Mr. Chang took them in.
"Have a seat, girls," Mr. Chang offered. "You may have some tea while we discuss your parents."
"When did you meet them?" Lorena asked.
"I met them shortly after they moved here," Mr. Chang replied. "I offered your father a job in my business district, but he declined. He said he would rather be a police officer."
"That doesn't surprise me," Leah said. "According to Uncle Casey, our dad never gave up on anything. He loved his work."
"Yes, I remember that," Mr. Chang said. "Let me tell you more about him."
As Mr. Chang's voice droned on, Lorena felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. Soon, she didn't hear Mr. Chang's voice as her eyes began to close and darkness washed over her.
A few hours later, Lorena awoke to find herself in a concrete cell with bars. She looked around to see her sisters there, too. They were also beginning to stir.
"Are you okay, Lori?" Leah asked her sister.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Lorena replied. "I just want to know why we're here." Then she shouted, "Mr. Chang, where are you? We're in trouble!"
Suddenly, the girls heard footsteps, and a man entered, but it wasn't Mr. Chang. It was Shredder. Seeing him put fear in the girls' hearts. Why was he here? Where was Mr. Chang?
"What's the matter, Lorena?" Shredder asked mockingly. "Did you girls lose your way?"
"Shut up!" Lorena cried. "Where's Mr. Chang? What did you do to him?"
"Mr. Chang is not here," Shredder answered. "He doesn't exist. It was all a plot to lure you here. I did a good job of it too. I also knew your parents because I killed them."
Leah gasped. "Why?" she cried.
"Because they interfered with the Foot and the Purple Dragons," Shredder replied. "And now you will all pay." He looked at Lorena. "You're just as gullible as Leonardo," he sneered at her. "He thought I was a good person and he met a terrible fate. What a fool he was and what a fool you are." He laughed maniacally.
Lorena hung her head. Leo would be furious at her. Just what had she gotten her sister into?
A/N: Well, that's it for this chapter. So, are the Turtle gonna rescue the girls, or will Shredder's evil plan succeed? You'll have to find out in the next chapter coming soon! Please read and review!
