BubbleyShell: You've got some mad skills too, and thanks for the compliments! Hope this chapter's up to par
KLCtheBookWorm: Yeah, Iknow. Krang, or whatever, was one of the ugliest, and weirdest villains I'd seen.
Reinbeauchaser: Well, I thought that would add a nice twist if they never knew each other had existed. I mean, what's the probability? Even in New York City? Thank you for the reviews. Oh, and I'm usually up at 0545 . Even 0500 is too early for me!
On with the story!
We waited until sundown to start our patrol. One, because we needed the darkness for cover, and two, we didn't want to add more to a public hysteria, and probably end up in jail, on a dissection table, or shot. All of which would be really bad.
Things went according to plan, me and Mikey running patrol on the East side, Leo and Raphael running the West side, guided by either Azriel or Gabriella. Ana was our transponder, while Lillian, Master Splinter, and Donatello remained in the Lair, seeking out countermeasures for the mutations.
Things were pretty intense right then, as Mikey and I building hopped. One thing that was pretty cool about my mutation was this substance I could produce at will, which allowed me to stick to the sides of buildings and other objects. Tree frog, remember?
"See anything yet Mikey?" I asked from my perch on a brownstone's ledge.
Said turtle had been scanning the horizon, streets and alleyways in the vicinity. "Nope, sorry babe. There's no activity at all." He looked troubled. "That's kind of weird. Usually the Foot have something going on around this time."
"Really?" I asked, curious. I had honestly thought that the Foot had been crushed by the police force a while back.
"Yeah babe," he turned and flashed me a charming smile. "We're the ones who've been fighting them all this time." He nodded. 'The police got all the credit, mostly because we didn't want to be made known. Our friend April, though, she gives us anonymous credit for captures and whatnot via the media."
"April O'Neal, correct?" I queried. He nodded, enthused. "I've seen her on the news." I shrugged. "Honestly, after my stint in the Forces, I got sick and tired of seeing all the bullshit on the news. I rarely watch it anymore."
'That sucks, you missed all the publicity of our heroics!" Mikey joshed, giving me a friendly shove. I grinned, then gasped.
"Holy shit, why, didn't this click before!" I laughed. "I remember a newsstory mentioning y'alls names!" I lowered my voice, "The only reason I was watching it was because of the TGRI incident, and the rumors of some beasts tearing up the city." I said conspiratorially, grinning. "Kudos for putting a stop to that! I'm impressed."
Mikey smirked. "Hey, it's all in a days work for this turtle." He said cheekily, hooking his thumbs under a pair of invisible suspenders. "You know, defeat the bad guy, save the city, get the girl?" he winked. "Haven't gotten the girl yet, but ya never know what'll happen!"
I raised an eyebrow saucily. "You really think you're gonna get the girl this time, Michaelangelo?"
He grinned, just as saucily. "I'm sure gonna try- they're actually in my league this time!"
I chuckled, "Mikey, with your charm, anyone's in your league, hu-"
LEO, RAPH! interrupted our conversation, causing both of us to jerk. Azriel reports a bunch of Shadow Bandits, or Foot soldiers? Well, a bunch of those on a heading to intercept you. Another warning- he can't quite see what it is, but they've got something BIG in their midst. He says he'll try to get a better look, but they're moving awfully fast! Be careful, ok?
Mikey and I looked at each other. Our first view of these things should be interesting- I just hoped that Leo and Raph would be okay against all them.
Ana? I called. Is there anything in our area? I'd like to go give our other boys a hand.
Gabriella says she hasn't seen anything. Go ahead.
Tell her we're heading towards the others, okay? And let them know we're coming.
Roge-o, will do!
"Hey, Mikey?" I said, tapping him on the carapace. He turned, "Let's head on over to your brothers." I said, all business. "I think they may need some help with this one."
"No problemo sweet-tart," Mikey patted my back. "Just try to keep up, eh?"
"Whatever. You'll be eating my dust!"
We raced off into the night.
Raph's POV:
We'd barely gotten warning from our sky-pal Azriel, and then out of the blue we were surrounded by Foot dick-weeds, and two MASSIVE, ugly-as-hell mutants. I swear, when those two showed up, even I started to sweat.
We took out the Foot retards easy as pie, but when the two uglies moved in, I swear, it brought me back to the night we'd first faced off Tokka and Razaa. It was as ugly now as it had been then.
Getting hits in wasn't as hard, but those guys weren't showing signs of wearing.
At least mine wasn't.
"HEY, UGLY-MUNCHER!" I shouted, trying to get the lizardy one's attention away from Leonardo. Poor guy'd been ganged up on, and that pissed me off!
"Gggrrrraarrrgh..." It rumbled, turning a pair of neon-yellow eyes towards me. Man, that thing was something freaky. Taller than me, spiked, with some wicked looking claws, and a long spiked tail.
"Yeah, you ugly!" I said, trying to piss it off, so it would come after me. Leo looked busy enough with the bat-winged thing, and didn't need this one too.
Apparently that did it, cause right then it charged, flailing it's tail out at me. Damn, but that did sting. No matter, though, I managed to stick the damn thing about eighty times, before it started getting really pissed off!
"GRRRRARRGHH!" It cried, lashing out with a clawed hand, missing.
Gotta love those Ninja skills!
Too bad I didn't notice the damn Foot backup closing in. Fucking cheaters.
Mikaela's POV
Me and Mikey were a little winded when we arrived at the battle scene, and boy was it ugly. Wounded soldiers, blood, and two monstrosities that were toying with my buddies.
Mikey threw several shuriken, spattering across the chest of the lizard thing that was swinging Raph around.
"Is it just me, or does this seem awfully familiar?" he shouted, leaping over a ledge, coming to his brother's aid. I on the other hand crawled up the side of the building, looking for a good jump spot. I didn't like how the Wolf-Bat was circling a bloodied Leonardo. I could tell he was in pain, and I could also tell that neither had seen my ascent.
Silently,I perched, clinging to the brickwork with the sticky-pads on my fingertips and toes, slowly blending into the pattern whilewaiting for my opportunity to strike.
I leaped!
Good thing too, because that was the moment that the Wolf-Bat was speeding down to an injured Leo, which angered me.
He had his Katana raised, ready to strike, as i slammed into the back of the Wolf-Bat, sending it careening off to the side. Leonardo clipped it hard with his katana blades, and a trail of blood followed it down over the side of the rooftop. I landed a bit ungracefully, and ran over to him.
"Oh man, Leonardo," I worried, fussing over his wounds. I reached into a pocket of my jumpsuit. "Here," I said, handing him some aspirin, while getting to work field-dressing some of the larger cuts. "Man, I'm so sorry!"
"No worries," he said, swallowing the pills, grimacing. They weren't gelcaps, so they tasted pretty nasty. "You couldn't have possibly known what we were facing, so it's not your fault. We just weren't careful enough." He hissed asI applied peroxide to a nasty cut.
"Sorry," I said, rubbing neosporin on a scrape. "I stillfeel awful for dragging you and your brothers into this mess."
"LOOK OUT!"
I turned at the sound of Mikey and Raph's warning. I shoved Leonardo out of the way as the Wolf-Bat barreled at us, claws out and deadly sharp. I leaped onto the side of a building, and scrambled upwards.
I turned in time to see the Wolf-Bat streaking towards me, mad with rage, talons fully extended. I starteda leap to another building with glass windows, a surfacy easy to cling to.
Time seemed to slow down as the creature got closer, wings flapping furiously, howling an eerie wail.
A sword pierced the ribcage of the Wolf-Bat as it neared, causing it to spin away from me, howling in pain and anger. I was in mid leap, when I felt it.
Four claws ripped through the thin fabric of my jumpsuit, tearing skin and flesh from my lower torso and left thigh. My flight became erratic as I spun out of control, flying straight towards a glass superstructure.
I could feel my blood pumping out of my wounds. Shit, that's serious damage...
My vision started to fade as the windows loomed larger.
I didn't feel anything when I impacted, shattering glass windows with my momentum.
"MIKAELA!"
A/N: Short chapter, butI wanted to flesh it out a little more. oh, and these chapters will probably be further and far between, sorry. Please keep reviewing though! And if there're any inconsistancies, let me know and I'll try to fix them!
