Chapter Two - Maybe not so bad after all

I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling the next morning. I was supposed to fulfill my task but I was starting to doubt my Master. These were nice people; they were so friendly and kind to me. Just because we were a different species didn't make them treat me any differently than they treated each other. Even Raph didn't treat me differently than he treated his brothers. He pushed me around and all that.

Someone knocked at my door, I called out, "come in."

Leo came in and announced that they were having breakfast right now, and Mikey's cooking.

I grinned, "Lets just hope it's not pancakes or I'll overeat again."

This was the first time that I had seen Leo actually smile and chuckle. He always seemed so stern and, almost untrusting.

I was beginning to fear that he was suspecting that I was an enemy and not a guest. But now my thoughts on that subject started to dwindle.

I stood up from my bed and followed him out and into the kitchen.

I sat down with their family and had not pancakes, but just simple scrambled eggs.

"So you couldn't flip the eggs without breaking the yoke again Mikey?" Raph teased.

Mikey scowled and replied, "No, I just thought you dudes like scrambled eggs."

"Mikey, don't even try that, we all know you can't flip eggs." Don remarked while doing some calculations on a piece of paper next to his eggs.

I giggled, and Mikey turned to me, "you don't believe them do you dudette?"

I grinned, "sorry Mikey, but I think they're telling the truth."

He scowled again and turned away from the table mumbling something like, "no one appreciates my cooking."

After finishing my eggs I stood up and walked out of the kitchen and sat down on the couch next to Splinter. I heard a phone ring, but it was coming from the kitchen and I didn't remember seeing a phone in there. But Don walked out holding some type of cell phone to his ear talking rapidly to someone on the other end.

He got off of the phone and said to Splinter and his brothers who had just come out of the kitchen, "April says that she's spotted Shredder doing some suspicious activity. Should we go check it out Sensei?"

Splinter thought for a second, and then nodded, "yes my sons, be careful."

I stood up quickly and added, "I'm going too."

They all turned to me surprised, "Kristy, you are no ninja, this is a powerful ninja that we are talking about. Street fighting is no good to them." Leo objected.

I shook my head, "no Leo, I am a ninja. If you just lend me a bo-staff and some shurikens I'll be fine. Please allow me to go." I pleaded, I needed to converse with Master Shredder, and this may be my only chance to.

"Sensei, what do you say?" Leo asked Splinter.

He nodded, "let her go with you my sons."

"Donnie, go get Kristy a bo-staff and some Shurikens." Leo ordered. He seemed to be taking his leader role very seriously.

Donnie nodded and ran to the dojo to get a spare bo-staff and a few shurikens.

He came back to me and gave me the items. I took them and then tied a black bandana around my head, and a black belt around my waist. I situated the shurikens in the belt and held on to the bo-staff.

The turtles watched me curiously, I asked, "what?"

Mikey yelled out, "Lets go kick some Mister Spiky Pants butt!"

All the turtles rolled their eyes and followed Leo out of the lair with me close behind them.

"So, we meet again turtles!" Shredder said when we came upon him and his foot soldiers. He eyed me curiously, he suspected that I should have already done the job and came back to him. "You will not escape here alive!"

"He says that all lot, don't you think." I heard Mikey whisper to Donnie. Donnie didn't answer, he just looked on ahead. I looked into his eyes and saw the fierce fiery ice in his eyes. He was willing to fight to the death to protect his brothers. I looked into Leo's eyes and saw the same thing, except it was different, it was more of a defend our honor type than the brotherly love type that Donnie had.

"Foot soldiers attack!" Shredder yelled. As the foot soldiers advanced I sidestepped to the side to avoid them. I ran up to Master Shredder and said barely above a whisper, "fight me Master, but I need to talk with you as well."

He nodded and slashed out at me, but not with as much force as I'd seen him do with the turtles. "Why have you not fulfilled your duty yet my daughter?"

I blocked a strike from him with my bo-staff. "Because I have been trying to make myself inconspicuous with their family by getting close with one of their family members. And then I'll strike."

"And which family member would that be?"

"I'd prefer it be Leonardo, since he is the leader, but I have found it much easier to get closer with the one called Donatello."

"I am familiar with Leonardo but which one is Donatello?"

"The one in the purple bandana Master."

He looked behind me and spotted Donnie in the crowd of foot soldiers. "Ah, that one, he is the one that is crazy about technology, am I right?"

"Yes Master."

"How long will it take you to fulfill your duty?"

"Not very long I hope."

"Good, kill the rat quick, and make sure it's at night, and then come back to me as quickly as possible."

"Yes Master, they will fall after their sensei has fallen, and then you can continue to rule the world with the turtles out of the way."

"I need you to come back to my palace though Kristina. I will act as if I kidnapped you, and then the turtles will come and rescue you and then you can fulfill your duty and kill the rat."

"Yes Master, but do it now, while they are not looking."

Master Shredder picked me up and ran away calling behind him, "foot soldiers retreat!"

I heard faintly behind me Mikey whooping, "Scared you away, didn't we! Because turtles kick bu- ow! NOT FUNNY RAPH!"

I entered my Master's chamber still wearing the same clothes that I had on before. Master Shredder would not let me change because he knew that they would suspect something if I wore my usual.

"Come here my child." He called to me.

I walked forward respectfully and bowed before him. "What is it that you need Master?"

"Stand up."

I stood.

"Now, I have brought you back here as bait."

"Bait for whom, and why?"

"The turtles, because I am very sure that they will come rescue you, and when they do, I will capture them and then cure them of their mutation, therefore making them human. After that I will set them free, making it as if they set themselves free. You will go with them. The turtles will be weaker after they have been turned human, and after you kill their Master they will have no chance against us. I will defeat the turtles!"

"But why don't you just kill them after you have captured them?"

"Because then, there would be no way of getting to their sensei."

I nodded, "I see, am I excused to go back to my bed chambers?"

He bowed his head, "you are."

I stood up, "thank you." I then walked out of the chamber and to my bedchambers. I entered and flopped onto my bed. I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

BOOM!

My eyes snapped open, and I sat up straight. I swung my legs off of my bed and raced to the door and swung it open. I saw Master Shredder running down the hall to me.

"Kristina get in the prisoner cell, quick!"

I nodded and ran in the opposite direction. After placing my hand in the hand scanner I entered the prisoner cell and entered one after a foot ninja put makeup on my face to make it look like I had been beaten up.

They locked the cell and I walked over to the wall and sat down leaning against it.

I heard shouts and yells, and then the door flew open, and Donnie came in closely followed by Mikey.

"Hey dudette! We're gonna bust you outta here!"

Donnie walked over and started studying the lock. I looked over to the door and saw Leo and Raph enter with their backs to me because they were fighting foot ninja. Once all of the way in they shut the door and locked it.

Perfect. I moved my foot without any of the turtles noticing and pushed a switch. Laser bars were set on all of the doors; Master Shredder came over the speakers.

"Ha ha ha ha! This was a trap turtles! Now I have captured you once an for all!"

Gas started filling the area.

"Don't breath! Meditate!" Leo ordered.

All the turtles dropped to the floor and crossed their legs, and started to meditate.

I narrowed my eyes, this could not happen! I knew the gas would not affect me because I was not a mutant. I walked over to the door of my cell silently and grabbed the microphone and made it so my voice sounded like Splinter's voice.

"My sons, I am here, what are you doing meditating?"

All of the turtle's eyes shot open and stood up expecting to see their sensei. I put the microphone back and went back to the wall and sat down watching.

Immediately all the turtles started coughing, they all grabbed their chests and fell to the ground. They started to violently shake.

My eyes saddened, I didn't like seeing them in such pain, I almost stood up and opened the gate to go help them when they all stopped and lay still. I sighed and pressed another button. The gas started going away.

I yawned, and decided to go to sleep for a while, and then I would 'free' them.

I opened my eyes and checked my watch, only ten minutes had gone by. I sat up fully and looked around, all the gas was gone and the lasers on the doors were gone. I stood up and opened the gate and walked out. I looked down and gasped.

I quickly covered my eyes. Ew! That's just a nasty sight!

I looked away; I found some prisoner robes and laid a robe on each of the turtles, well, boys. They were no longer the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" they were now the "Teenage Ninjas".

Was that a little more exciting? I hope so! Please review and tell me what you think!
