"Ohh." I moaned. Wow, I hurt. I blinked. "Hey, I can see again! Where am I?" I looked around. It was really dark but I could see the outline of a door. There was a crack at the bottom of the door that let in some light. I tried to move. When I did chains rustled and my wrists, ankles, and neck felt heavy. "Huh?" I gasped. I was chained up to a wall! "What is this place?" I heard a rattle on the other side of the door. The door started to open and I tried to scoot closer to the wall but I was too sore and it really hurt.

Two of the MIB's entered. I closed my eyes against the light, expecting it to be bright. The light was really dull though. The MIB's walked over and started to unlock me. I tried to fight back, to run away but I was too weak. One of the MIB's chuckled. I didn't like the sound of it. I silently dubbed him Dumb and the other one Dumber. Dumb and Dumber picked me up and started dragging me to who knows where. I was too weak to fight back. "The boss is going to have fun with you!" I didn't like the sound of that. I tried to tell him to shove it but I couldn't talk.

I was brought to a big room. A person dressed in armor with spikes sticking out from random places (I thought) was in the room. Dumb and Dumber bowed and dragged me forward. They bowed again and dropped me. I winced inside as I just dropped. I couldn't even do anything about it. It seemed like forever until Mister Metal spoke. "Welcome to my room. I suppose you would like some water, huh?" The voice surprised me; it was a woman's voice. I was even too weak to answer.

Misses Metal slowly got up and grabbed some water off her desk. She leaned down towards me and helped me gulp down the water. I cleared my throat and tried to say thank you. Words actually came out! My voice was all rough, but I could talk! "Why are you helping me?" I asked. She looked at me. "I didn't mean for my…" she hesitated. I could tell she was thinking. "Associates to hurt you. I just wanted to ask you some questions." I almost snorted at the not hurt you part, but I caught myself in time. "What do you want to know?" I asked.

She sighed. "It is not you I wanted to ask some questions to. It is your friend. The one that has the funky hairdo. With uh, brown and red hair." I thought for a moment. I knew she was talking about Disa, but I still didn't trust her. "Does my friend know you? What do you want to ask her? Who, who are you?" She laughed. I thought it sounded a little evil. "I'm a person she's heard about but has never met. I just want to ask her about a party I want to throw. She gives wonderful party advice. And I, I am Karai." I could tell she was lying out of her nose, well maybe not about her name. That sounded right for some reason.

I decided I was tired of listening to her. "You're lying! You just want to hurt us! Let me go!" I spit out. It wasn't a very good idea. She picked me up. "Imbecile! You can't stop me! You should've been nicer!" She heaved me across the room. "You shall rot in the dungeon! Or maybe I'll torture information out of you! Yeah, I love that last one!" Then she walked over to her desk and pressed a button. "Take her away!" The doors opened and Dumb and Dumber walked in. I was too weak to fight and I figured she probably had tons of help in her place. So I just shouted crap at her as D and Der took me away.

I was put back in my cell and chained up. I sat there for a while pondering what I could do. I decided to try something, anything. I couldn't just wait for Karai to come and torture me. I pulled at my chains. They wouldn't budge and I was hurting. I cheeked my body to see the extent of my injuries.

I was covered in bruises from head to toe. I had a bad scratch on my arm. Scratch, it was more like a cut, I think. My left ankle was swollen, but I didn't think it was broken. I might have had a concussion. My head felt like it was cracked in half. I was pretty scratched up all over my body. I had a huge gash on my chest that I was surprised I lived through. I had a cut on my shoulder and across my whole back. It felt like part of the top of my ear was cut off. Oh, and my knee was about three times the size of my other one and I had a splitting headache. My mouth was totally dry and my lips cracked. "Wow. Bet I look like crap." I said, mostly just for noise.

I decided to try and get some sleep. Even though I already had a kink in my neck. "Ah, well." I yawned. I sat up against the wall and discovered I couldn't breathe through my nose. I felt it. It felt like I had a bloody nose. Good news was nothing was broken. I hoped nothing was sprained or fractured. I moaned and sighed. "Nothing I can do about it." I closed my eyes and was asleep instantly.

I awoke to a rattling at the door. I could hear whispering outside my door. It sounded like people fighting. The doorknob was really rattling now. It seemed like whoever was outside the door couldn't get in. I growled. Whoever was out there I was going to be ready for. I tried to get in a pouncing position as quietly as possible. Which was very hard because the chains rattled at every movement. The doorknob turned all the way and the door started to slowly open. Then I heard "Oh, come on Leo. Are you scared someone will jump out at you? Just open the dang door!" I was confused. It didn't seem like MIB's opening the door. I listened on. "Raph, they could have a trap set up. We don't want to get caught." "Hey, guys. Come on we shouldn't be fighting. We gotta get the girl the dudette's were mumbling about." I heard a sigh. "You're right Mikey. I just have a bad feeling about this. And don't even say it Raph!" I heard a chuckle. "Guess I don't have to." My ankle was starting to hurt, and my knee. I couldn't take it anymore. I fell and the chains rattled.

"What was that?" "Well Mike, I'd say it was someone in the cell." "Well duh, genius child. Open the door Leo!" The door opened all the way. My mouth would've dropped open if I didn't think it would hurt. Standing outside the door were four big turtles! Not only that they had weapons strapped to them and headband things on their head. The one with the orange headband gasped at the sight of me. The one in the purple headband looked concerned and the one in the red headband curled his hand into a fist. "Leo lookit that. I don't get how anyone could do that to a kid. Or, or, or anyone. Gah. I kill the foot for this, not that I need a reason." The one in blue seemed to be Leo, I thought. "Raph not right now." He glanced over at me. He seemed to be holding in his own anger and concern too. "Are you Yaniz?"

I gasped. How the heck did he know my name? But first things first. I looked at the one in red who I think is Raph. "I'm a teenager, not a kid." Then I looked at all of them. "What girls mumbled about me?" Lastly I looked at Leo, the one in blue, "How do you know my name. That's a yes by the way, I'm Yaniz. Are you guy's aliens?" The one in orange snorted at that. Leo gave him a glare that said "Shh." He looked back at me, authority in his eyes now. "We'll explain later. We are here to save you." He said quietly while holding up keys on a key ring. I smiled. "Free me? I'd love that."

He walked over and undid the chains. "Ow." I whispered. The chains had been chafing me. "Can you walk?" he asked me. "I can try." He seemed to know what that meant. "Mike you carry her. Raph you're rear. Don what's the quickest route out of here?" The one in purple, who I guess was Don started to answer Leo, while the one in orange came towards me. "Well…" But was interrupted by Leo. "Okay, Don you lead. I'll walk the side." Mike picked me up in the Romeo and Juliet hold, as we called it in my gymnastics. It's also known as the baby hold. We (or they) were ready. They walked out while I was carried out.

I was carried through many tunnels. It seemed like we would never get out of there. I couldn't exactly see much though because there was a big shell blocking my view. Then finally I could see light and heard Don say "Ah, here we go." I think it was Raph who spoke next. "Finally, boy genius. I thought we'd never get outta here!" All I heard in reply was a shush from my side. Don was about to walk out when a hand grabbed his shoulder. It was Leo. There must have been a silent exchange between them, for they switched places. Leo cautiously tip-toed outside. I think he looked around and made sure it was safe. He turned back and was about to gesture us outside, I thought, when instead he screamed look out (!) and jumped towards us.

All of a sudden we were in the middle of a battle. The turtle's were in the midst of the battle. Mike, the one carrying me, set me down against the wall. "Stay here dudette. Don't worry this won't take long. Hey Cowabunga! Time for a butt kicking, huh Raph!" Raph seemed to be having a great time. Leo was focused and seriously concentrating. Don was the one who was not really killing, if he could help it. He seemed to like the fighting the least. Mike was joking and laughing. I found it amazing that he could be this light during a time like this. They were good but for every MIB that went down it seemed like twenty more popped up in their place. I jus had to help. I was always bad at just sitting in the midst of any action.

One MIB got to close to me. Before he could behead me or something I leaned down and grabbed his feet so he would fall. He fell toward me and on me. I smacked his head as he landed on me. "Oof." He was heavy. I grabbed his sword and shoved him off my lap. I forced the pain out of my mind. I couldn't think about that now. I didn't even know how to use a sword. I glanced at the sword and then at the MIB. I said to myself: "MIB you're going down!" I swung the sword around me wildly. I let out a war scream and didn't let myself think about what I was doing. Killing, (I thought, though now I'm not sure). But we had to get out of here and these people probably killed on a daily basis.

Car lights suddenly flooded my whole vision. While I was blinded I got kicked in the stomach. I doubled over in pain and was cracked over the head. I gasped in pain. I could feel the blood flowing again. My vision was turned black by my blood. I could tell the lights from the car were still there. The car horn beeped and I heard a guy shout, "Hey Raphy boy. What's up with not inviting me to the party?" "Hey Case-miester. I thought this was just too hardcore for you, sissy. Sorry Foot jerks, I have to go. I'll be back to kill you later." I felt someone pick me up. I tried to fight back and then I realized it was turtle skin. Well that and the guy picking me up said "Hey, cool it dudette, it's me."

I must have been carried to the car. I felt us speeding away. I could hear slight conversations going on but the pounding in my head was too loud to understand them. I tried to shut out the pain but it was too painful. I couldn't think about anything else. The pain was just taking over. It was excruciating. I just wanted to die. I couldn't stand it. Finally the darkness started taking over. It seemed to be becoming a good friend of mine. I sighed in my head as the darkness chased away the pain.
