Conspiracy II: The Others

Author's notes: This is the sequel to Conspiracy I: The Experiment, formerly known as fearless. If you haven't read that story, I suggest you read that one before reading this. Otherwise you will be hopelessly lost while reading this story.

I started writing this story with an idea to turn the turtles into humans but that idea didn't turn out as I had originally thought it would. So I am using an idea I had for the end of the story and making that idea the main story plot. Enjoy.

Summary: A year has passed since Brianna left. The existence of other mutants is learned and the turtles set out on a mission to rescue them from their imprisonment from the government. Brianna and her cousin return to aid the turtles on the mission and a secret in her family is brought to the light. With the Shredder still around and a new bigger threat than the Shredder surfacing, how will the turtles ever succeed in freeing their fellow mutants?

Disclaimer: mutant ninja turtles aren't mine. :P

Prologue: Where Are They Now?

Leonardo gazed up at the night sky as he sat down at his favorite spot, the roof of April O'Neil's apartment building. It was the place where just over a year ago, he had admitted his true feelings for her. He had been coming there almost every night since she had left. Being there reminded him of her. She wasn't dead but she was gone still the same. He wished that she could've stayed with him, but he also knew that it was for her own good that she left. As he sat alone, he thought about all that had happened since she had been gone.

I'll never forget what she told me at her going away party. I thought I had scared her off when I had told her I loved her, but she had just needed some time to think about everything.

Flashback

"You don't understand. Leo, I need to go. I promise to keep in touch. But I can't stay here waiting for the next attack," Brianna said to him.

"But I love you," He responded.

"I know, but I need to experience life outside. I will miss you dearly. All of you," She said as she looked at everyone in the room, "I need to do this and I hope all of you will support my decision," Next she leaned over and whispered, "I love you and somehow I'll come back to you," to Leo.

End Flashback

They had been keeping in touch through email. It still wasn't the same as seeing her face to face. He knew she was in Paris with her Aunt Marie and her cousin, Michele. Michele was a year younger than Brianna and looked remarkably similar to her. The only differences was that Michele had blue eyes and was about an inch shorter while Brianna had green eyes and was an inch taller. Brianna had started school and with a lot of work had managed to catch up and graduate with Michele. According to the emails, Michele was really into music and had an amazing voice. Her aunt Marie owned a local nightclub that the two girls worked at as waitresses. It's thanks to Donnie that I even know what she's up to. Donnie had included his email address in his going away gift to her and had told her to contact him when she got set up. After Brianna had left, Donnie became really interested in unlocking even more government conspiracies. So far, he had found none other than that Brianna wasn't the first person to be experimented on. Apparently the government had started their search for the 'perfect killing machine' about 29 years ago. They didn't just experiment on humans, but animals as well. Unfortunately the first six 'mutants' had all died in the process. All of us are certain that there's more so Donnie keeps searching. I know he'll find something eventually. Mikey and Raph are their same old selves. Yet Raph is really anxious to bring down the Shredder once and for all. I'm afraid he may go out on his own soon and attempt to accomplish the task himself. We tried to finish Shredder off last year but he and his goons moved to a new location. Plus the foot's been pretty inactive since then. We also moved to a different part of the sewers after they found our lair last year. There has been good news since Brianna left. Casey finally got the courage to ask April to marry him and about seven months ago, they tied the knot.

"Hey Leo, Sensei says you have to come back now and be extra careful that no one sees you," Mikey said and turned to leave. Leo knew a big part of why Sensei didn't want him topside alone for too long and why he wanted him to be sure he wasn't seen was due to a certain FBI agent. This agent had been one of the investigators of the explosion that had destroyed the building where Brianna had been kept almost her whole life. Heeding his Sensei's words, Leo went home without ever being seen.

Damn it! Kelly Quinn thought as she went through the evidence reports from that building explosion a year before. She couldn't believe that they had been unable to find anything that could tell her who destroyed that building. All they had found were some fingerprints that seemed to belong to four large human-sized turtles. Such a thing had been deemed impossible and blamed on faulty machinery. Although Kelly had heard rumors of four mysterious guys that liked to wear costumes. Maybe the weird, unexplained prints belong to them?

Most people would give up on the investigation by now, after a whole year. Infact the others were chalking it up to as an accident. They knew that there had been some dynamite stored in that building so the theory was that Capt. Carter had perhaps dropped a cigarette too close and had ignited the dynamite. Several witnesses had testified that he was a heavy smoker and had a generous supply in his office. But it doesn't explain why we found dynamite outside the building and in different parts of the building, like all of the lab and examination rooms, and a file records room. If it was just an accident then the dynamite would have only been in that one room and it wasn't. No, someone wanted to destroy that building killing two military personnel. Perhaps they did it an effort to hide the crime. According to the employees working there, Capt. Carter or someone pretending to be him, had ordered everyone to get out of the building.

However Capt. Carter along with Lt. Nitwite had perished in the explosion. So it just didn't make any sense to Kelly that Capt. Carter knew beforehand that he was going to acciendently drop a cigarette too close to some dynamite and order everyone to get out. Although according to the coroner, Capt. Carter had died from a broken neck. The explanation for that was that he had slipped on something with his cigarette in his hand and while falling, dropped the cigarette, igniting the dynamite and landed wrong, breaking his neck. Kelly didn't buy it. Not with everything that she knew about Capt. Carter. No, it just didn't make any sense to her that someone with his experience and background would've fallen and break his neck, while carrying around a cigarette much too close to dynamite.

There was one survivor, a Dana Romans. She supposedly was one of the government's top scientists and now she laid in a coma at the hospital. So until Ms. Romans woke up and told her story, the only thing she had to go on were a few eyewitnesses who reported seeing four large green creatures running away from the scene. This was her main focus. If she could find out what these creatures were then she could certainly learn what had really taken place that night. Every lead I get on these creatures turns into a dead end. And I have no idea if I'm dealing with some huge animals or people in some type of costume.

Kelly sighed and took her long shiny red hair out of its bun. Her supervisor wanted to speak her to first thing in the morning and she wanted to catch a few z's before then.

In an office somewhere in New York City, a middle aged man picked up his phone and started dialing.

"Mr. Tucker, I pressume?" He asked as he took a cigar out of the desk drawer.

"Yes," Mr. Tucker answered in a thick french accent.

"The address is 4945 West Piere St. You know what to do,"

"Right, torch the place 'til there's nothing left of it,"

"Yes and make sure those two young ladies are not home at the time or the same will happen to your family," He sneered.

"Yes, sir. Got it,"

"Good. Now get to work," He said as he hung up the phone and put the cigar out.

Author's Notes: Ok I do hope I am doing better with the sequel this time around. :D
