Episode No: 6. Let's rock n' ROLL!
(Manhattan, NY – unknown time)
It was late at night when a certain creature was swimming in the harbour. The creature himself was none other than Donatello, the smartest turtle on the block. He was just swimming around with his very own goggles with three green eyes and an attach microphone and his Bo Staff.
He decided once again to review of tonight's events.
"My name is Donatello, and right now I'm learning just how long I can hold my breath."
With one more mighty push, he rise up to the surface; gasping for air. He finds himself at the docks. Right behind him is what seems to be a damaged piece of material. Probably belongs to the purple turtle. That wasn't his main concern. He placed on hand on the boardwalk and lifted himself up. He does a forward roll; followed by another until he is under a tinted roof that is holding up by wooden poles. He decides to go for a close look as he turns the knob on his goggles which activates the zoom mechanism on the goggles. Through his eyes – and his high-tech goggles – are what seems to be cannon that is emitting at the harbour near the docks. That was his and his siblings' mission: To find the cause of what's been happening tonight.
"That vibro-cannon is seriously messing up the East River."
Don then takes another closer look to see the nearby pier crumbling up like a mini earthquake. This puts a worry look on the turtle's face.
"If this keeps up, the whole South Street Seaport could go crumbling into the water."
The purple turtle decided to take a step forward; getting a closer look on the danger.
"I'd be fascinated by the technology,"
But the cannon was not the only danger right now. Two shadows appeared in front of the purple ninja. He quickly turns around to see what seem to be two ninjas in black clothing; wielding two Katanas blades in hand who are high above the turtle himself on the roof of a warehouse. It was the same ninjas that he and his brothers and sister fought on the very first night that they journey to surface.
"If I wasn't otherwise occupied."
The two black ninjas jumps off the roof and charged at the turtle.
(The Lair, Manhattan, NY – 8:47pm)
What seems to be a peaceful evening for the family of mutants and a superpower human as the sewers seems to be quiet at this time of the night. With no intruders, no monsters running about, no thugs harming civilians. Everything was peaceful.
And what better way to make this night extra special?
EXTREME SPORTS.
Thanks to the brainy turtle himself, he has the time to customise extreme gears for him and his energetic siblings. The orange turtle was more thrilled than his brothers and sister as he rides down the sewer tunnel on his orange customise skateboard.
"He is the Alpha Dog, the Thrash-Meister, the Undisputed God of the Half-Pipe." While skating, he grabs hold of his board and then manages to perform a double flip with the help of the tunnel wall and his ninja skills. "Wahoo!" he cheers. Not far behind him is his big brother in red who was skating in his own rollerblades which big enough for his feet to slide in and slide out. Raph was right on Mikey's tail as he continues to glide.
"Who needs half-pipe, bro? We got FULL-pipe! Hahahaha." He brags. He keeps on skating as he does a loop around the huge pipe without falling off. "Woohoo, yeah! Haha!" he bellows as he gracefully lands on the ground and continues to rides through the tunnel with his brother.
"Wahoo!" he cheers as he zooms out of the tunnel and does a sharp right; heading towards his sewer home. Raph follows in pursuit.
"Alright!" Raph shouts as he also enters the Lair after his brother. Not far from them; coming through the main tunnel are three more ninjas with their own extreme gear. Don was racing on his bike, Leo is grinding with his scooter and Sally, just like Raph, is skating on her pair rollerblades.
Don goes ahead and races into the Lair, followed by Leo and then Sally herself. For Sally, she skates up to her left and does a Kindgrind on the edge of the platform. She keeps going until she senses the bars behind her. She spins around; jumps off the edge and grabs the monkey bars and flips around them like and experience gymnastics. After two flips around the bar, she lets go of it and does a backflip and lands elegantly on the ground and goes off skating. Don goes straight over to the custom-made ramp that was located near his workshop.
"Going for airplitude!" he cries out as he flips off the ramp, does a trick in the air and lands gracefully on the ground; narrowly missed his workstation. He then rides off into another part of the Lair. His big brother was not far behind. He rides off the same ramp, does a spin in the air but instead of landing on the ground, he grinds the table edge and then lands on the ground.
"Going for grinditude! Woo!" he yelps as he rides off in a different direction and jumps off the platform and into the centre of the Lair. Raph follows behind and does the same thing. The Turtles around cheered while riding around. Extreme sports are definitely one of the teens' special downtime. It keeps them occupied while a certain rat comes out of the kitchen. He was carrying his tea set and a plate of Sally's homemade muffins. For his downtime, he was going to watch his favourite program in the living room. He may be a highly-skilled martial art but he loves to watch soap opera shows. Especially for one particular girl who loves to sit down and watch it with him.
On his way to the living room, he was trying to dodge his children's excitement as they all skate past him. The blue turtle was the very first one as he rides past him on his left.
"Excuse me, Sensei." He politely asked as he rides on.
Splinter moves the tray over to his right before approaching the couch. He carefully lays the tray on the coffee table by the TV before he sits down.
"Heads up, Sensei!" Don warns as the rat was quick enough to duck the oncoming turtle on wheels. Don manages to ride over him without hitting a hair off him. "I mean, down!"
Splinter goes back to his meal as he pours his tea. After pouring his tea, he puts on an annoyed look on his face and turns to his right. He has already faces two of his sons, now he was about face another. Quick to act, he jumps up in the air; avoiding the red turtles on blades as he rides by and the rat lands on the other side of the coffee table.
"Nice recovery, Sensei!" he cries out and continues to skate along. Being a father of five teenagers was very tiring for an old rat like him. At times, all he ever wants was some peace and quiet for him. He signs in exasperate as he goes back to his table and proceeds to pick up a muffin. But the orange turtle was quicker than the eye as he grabs one of the two muffins on the tray.
"Hey, thanks, Sensei!" he acknowledges as he munches down the muffin and rides off on his skateboard. The rat just stands there; nearly at the edge of breaking point. Yep, a father of five is hard work. He looks over to the centre of the Lair where his children are riding around.
"Extreme breed!" they all bellowed; all riding around the Lair. While he was watching them, he seems to notice one more person missing. And if she wasn't here in two seconds, she is going to miss watching the show as well.
At the next second, Sally glides in front of her Sensei, skids to a stop and fall onto the couch.
"Perfect timing, Sensei." She said; ready to watch her favourite program with her father. At least he has one child is sensible than her brothers. Splinter grabs the remote from the coffee table, sits in his armchair and flicks on the TV with the remote. But as soon the TV comes on, shut down automatically. And so did the entire Lair.
"Huh?" question the rat and the young kunoichi. A second later, they all heard a crash not far from here. It sounds like the Turtles crashed into something or someone. Sally winch at the sound of the crash. She carefully stands from the couch and skates to the edge. Good thing she can sense things around her and doesn't have to worry about whom coming at which direction; especially in the dark.
"Guys. Are you ok?" Sally cried out.
"Nice wiring, Don!" Mikey sarcastically exclaimed.
"I guarantee it's not my wiring." Don defends himself. "Maybe it's a blackout."
"Maybe. Now, you wanna get your foot off my shell?" Mikey asked. How does he know it Don's foot? It could Raph's or Leo's? Or his?
A second later after the orange turtle complained, Splinter lights a match and ignites a candle in his hand which lights up partly the Lair. Sally and Splinter find Leo, Raph and Mikey on the ground while Don was on a nearby ramp. The place must have been so pitch black that Sally's brother couldn't see where they were going and end up crashing into each other and other places.
"Oh! Keep that flame away from Mikey." Warned the blue turtle. "He scarfed down a whole chili pizza for dinner."
"And whose idea was to buy chili pizza for dinner?" Sally question him; crossing her arms over.
"Clearly, there is a power failure. I suggest you investigate and see if it can be fixed." Splinter advises his children. Probably, he wants some peace and time alone from his children's distracting nonsense. Sally rolls down the ramp and joined her brothers. Look like it's time to hit the surface.
"We're all over it." Mikey agreed as he flips up his skateboard and heads to the door. Both Raph and Sally sheathe the wheels on their skates. Leo folds up his scooter and chips it on his belt. Don folds up his bike and hauls it over his shoulder. They all race off with their respective rides to the elevator.
"And hurry up! I do not wish to miss my favourite program." Splinter reminded them as the teens left the Lair.
"Neither would I, Sensei!" Sally called out; indicating herself as she joined her brothers in the elevator. Looks like Sensei is definitely going to get some peace and quiet.
The teens arrived up to surface via the elevator. Once they got out of the abandoned warehouse, they escape up to the nearest rooftop where that sat on top of a water tower. Don has brought his duffle bag along just in case. They were looking over the city that was completely shut off and when they mean shut off, they mean the entire city has gone completely dark.
"You know, I don't think Splinter meant we should investigate this far." Leo said to his siblings.
'You can never be too thorough. Especially when it comes to topside time." Raph told him. They were still look to the city. The sun was still going which is probably the only light that they'll see for miles while the rest of the city is just pitch black.
"This whole side of town is dark. The substation must have gone out." Don explained if the city had a back-up plan.
"This isn't right. Shouldn't there be some emergency lights or something?" Leo asked. But since there are none, this gives Raph an idea.
"Yeah. It's totally dark down there." Raph said.
"Which means there's only one thing for us to do" Mikey declared; hinting the same idea that his big brother has in mind.
Sally was also getting the same idea. "And that would be…?"
She pretty much got her answer when she, Raph and Mikey end up grinding down the railing near the entrance of the museum.
"Banzai!" the three skaters cried out. Their older brother was waiting for them at the bottom on his scooter while Don was still riding around on his bike. Leo was kind of concern about his family getting caught by civilians.
"Guys, you really think we should be doing this? What if somebody sees us?" Leo asked them as Raph, Mikey and Sally join him.
Raph placed his hand on his brother's shoulder. "That's the beauty of it, Leo. No one can see us. It's pitch black." Raph responded.
"Get with the program, bro. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity to session some surface terrain." Mikey added
"Sounds awesome but don't you think that we should find the source of the blackout?" Sally wonders.
"Oh, come on, Sal. Lighten up. Have a little fun!" the orange turtles begged; wrapping his arm around her shoulder. He hopes his sister would join in the fun. But Sally had another idea
"Huh, that's funny. I thought you would be disappointed, Mikey." she said; lightly pushes his arm off of her.
Mikey raised an eyebrow at her. "What do you mean, Sal?" Mikey asked.
Sally then begins to explain. "Well, listen. You know about the show that Splinter and I watch, right?"
"Yeah?" Mikey adds.
"Well, a new episode is on tonight but the problem is, there is a blackout. Which means "No power". "No power" means "No TV" and "No TV" means Master and I can't watch out favourite show." Sally continues to explain.
"And?" Mikey adds on.
The young kunoichi then puts on a creepy grin on her face. Looks like she has something in stores for the orange turtle and he couldn't help but feel terrified.
"So, if I can't watch my favourite program, that's mean major trouble for you because," she then pokes her finger into Mikey's chest. "You'll have to be the entertainment for tonight. And trust me, you will not like it one bit."
The orange turtle was now soiling himself. He gulps as his two older brothers quietly laugh behind him. Sally looks over to them. Maybe Mikey's not going to be the only one.
"Oh, I wouldn't be laughing if I were you, Larry and Curley." Both Leo and Raph stopped laughing and looked at their little sister. "You two will be joining him as well."
Now, all three Turtles were petrified. They have to supply the entertainment while Sally and Splinter watch them for their amusement. They will proberly die of embarrassment.
Leo quickly turned to his two younger brothers. "All those in favour of finding the source of this blackout say Aye."
"Aye!" both Raph and Mikey called out and raised their hand at the same time. The young kunoichi smirk at her brothers.
"I thought so." She grinned. Sally pretty much knows that her brothers would never entertain her because they know she will torture them.
She then senses her other brother coming this way. She turned around to see the purple turtle himself rides up to them.
"Hey, check this out." He points his thumb to the building nearby. They all see what seem to be two people in black climbing up a wall by a rope. Once they got to the top, the first one flips; which is followed by the next one and run on the ledge and jump through a window.
Wait a minute. Those people looked familiar. Especially when dressed in black.
Sally winch her eyes a little to get a closer look. Black clothing with grey tunic and a red symbol.
Red symbol.
Red symbol!
It's them! It's the ninjas that they faced a few months ago. Sally's eyes went from complete shock to absolutely firm. It was the same ninjas that they face when they went up to the surface for the very first time. Not only that but the emblem that they wore on their garb was awfully familiar to the young kunoichi. She could have sworn that she has seen this red symbol before. But where?
The Turtles and Sally all crouch down behind a bush to get a closer look on the ninjas. "Didn't we fight these clowns once before?" Mikey wonders.
"Yeah, and we nearly got waxed." Don responded with his fold-up bike over his shoulder. They all remember the fight they had with them.
Finally found something to punch all week and since their first battle with each other, Raph stands and twirls his twin Sai in his hands. "Who's up for some payback?" he asked.
Sally continues to watch the ninjas with a sharp eye. With a stern look on her face, she stands up; ready for some action – and hopefully, some answers.
"I'm ready."
And ready for some payback indeed. Inside the museum is a display of Japanese Weaponry and Amour from Feudal Japan. But the centre of the room is a refine sword with a white blade in its display case. Its yellow handle was very unique too with three sharp spikes that facing the same direction as the blade. The top bit of the handle was a face of some sort and was wrapped around a white part of the handle. The sword itself was special. So special that the reason that those same two ninjas from before are here for it.
They jumped down from the ceiling and approach the display case. The first ninja placed a device on his hand and firmly pressed it against the glass. The stick pops out and goes around in a circle; making a screeching noise as well. The stick slides back into the device and takes a piece out of it without raising the alarm. The second ninja behind him puts on metal glove with a red foot symbol that was printed on the backhand. He tries to reach in for the sword but was stopped when a shuriken is thrown at the case. The two ninjas looked to their left to see their familiar foes: The four mutant turtles and their female human companion.
"Gift shop's on the first floor, boys, but they don't take kindly to shoplifters, and neither do we." Leo warned to the ninjas.
The first ninja pulls out his Katana; trying to keep them busy while the second one goes for the display case, but was halted again when another shuriken was thrown in his path.
"Now before you try to make off with the goods, you might wanna consider a few things. One: You're outnumbered. Two: Don't let the pretty faces fool you. We're tougher than we look." Raph advises the ninjas. But the red turtle might want to think things twice when those two ninjas have called for some backup. More of those black ninjas are pouring in from the windows with Katanas and Bo Staff in hand and ready to fight the heroes.
"And three: We're about to get our butts seriously hammered!" Mikey yelps.
Look like the teens are in for a tough rematch as they find themselves surrounded and outmatched. The black ninjas were closing in on the heroes. One of them with his Bo Staff in his hand; twirling it, decided to make the first move as he charges forward at the blue turtle. Leo was all for ready; bringing out his Katanas and charges at his opponent. The black ninja does the first swing but Leo ducks it. Before the ninja can strike again, Leo slashes the staff in half. The turtle grins at his achievement but the black ninja has a surprise up his sleeve as he makes the hidden blades popped out from the ends of each half. Ok, the blue turtle wasn't expecting that but like what his Sensei has taught them: "Expect the unexpected". He puts his game face back on as the black ninja charges at him with the blades at ready but the turtle turns around and block the attack with his hard-rock shell. This actually broke the blades. He grins at this as the black ninja looks at this with awe. But he wasn't ready when the blue turtle rams into him which sends him flying into another ninja; knocking them off their feet.
"Whew! Saved by the shell." Leo spoke while catching his breath.
The red turtle was spinning around on his skates with his Sais in hand. "Check it out!" he stops spinning and faces one of the ninjas. "Blades and blades!" he announces as he charges forward. The black ninja that he is facing swings his sword around and attacks at the turtle. "Hahahaha!" Raph bellows as the ninja slashes at him but the turtle flips over him and the ninjas winds up cutting an ancient vase in half.
"You break it, pal, you brought it." He warned as he skates away with the same ninja following him in pursuit. The ninja was falling right into an obvious trap. "And speaking of buying it…" he delivers a surprise kick at the ninja and sends him flying head-first into a small gong. The small atrifact makes a loud noise when it got hit.
Next was Don as he squares off with another ninja with a Naginata. The purple turtle unfolds his bike, gets on it and rides towards the ninja. The black ninja was preparing to stab the turtle but he was too slow when Don uppercuts the ninjas with the front wheel of his bike. "Alley-oop!" Don cried out as the ninja was sent flying into the amour display.
Don looks to his left to see another ninja with Sais was coming this way but the turtle was quick to prepare. He turns around on his bike to face him, pulls out his Bo Staff and holds it at waist level with the end of the stick pointing towards the ninja and advances at him. "Charge!" Don screams as he jabs his weapon into the ninja's chest and knocks him into a priceless vase and breaks it.
Mikey was doing his fair share as he rides around on his skateboard and his nunchakus at hand. "Wahoo!" the orange turtle cried out as he skates up to a group of three black ninjas. "Bowling for ninjas!" he rams into the first one which caused him to knock into the other two and took them to the ground.
"Na-na-na-na-na!" Mikey teased as he continues to skate and starts twirling his nunchakus. But he wasn't paying any attention to a chain that wrapped around his left wrist which cause him to drop his weapon in hand. "Uh oh." The chain around his wrist actually belongs to another ninja with a Kusarigama in his hand. Mikey was skating towards the ninja whom was ready to slash the turtle by the blade but the orange ninja had another idea.
"Heads up." He warned as he flips his skateboard up and hits the ninja in the gut and sends him to the ground. Mikey puts his other nunchakus away. "Way to pick up that spare." He then goes over to the knocked-out ninja and tears off the insignia off his garb. "And a trophy to boot."
Sally draws out her Kodachi as she faces four more ninjas that are approaching her. Right now, she wasn't exactly fooling around like her brothers. She was acting all serious; hoping to get her answer about them and who do they work for. With her sword in her hand, she advances forward to the ninjas.
The first ninja that she faces tries to bring his Katana down; hoping to slice her in half. But the young kunoichi was quick enough to slide under him and sweeps the leg with her right foot. Two more with a Bo Staff each comes at her way but she uses the handle of her sword and jabs the ninja from the right into his chest. She then grabs him by the chest and used her strength to throw the ninja into the one on the left. For the last one who was coming up from behind her, she simply delivers a painful elbow strike into his ribcage; earning a piercing crack as well. With her opponents down and out, she grabs the first ninja that she took down the collar and pulls him up to her face. It was time for some answers.
"Ok, tell me this: Who are you and who is your boss?" she demanded.
The blue turtle was having a little trouble on his plate as three ninjas all ganged up on him. "Little help here?" he requested as he does his best to block, duck, jump and dodge the oncoming attacks. After they finish with their fight, his brothers, excluding Sally who was busy on her end, all rushed to his aid.
"We're on it!" his brothers all call out to him while riding their wheels. Leo was still blocking his opponents as they tried to slash him into little turtle pieces. But before Leo could land a strike on the ninjas, help was on the way or so he think.
"Look out!" they yelled out. The three ninjas all jumped out of the way which all the turtles ended up crashing into each other. Sally flinches again at the sound of the crash for the second time of the night which caused her to drop the ninja that she was negotiating with as she looks over to see her brothers have collided into each other again.
Sally could only face palm herself. "Oh, brother." He brothers can be clumsy at times.
"I sense a teamwork training session in our future." Mikey declares. Yep, definitely a training session.
As the Turtles are regaining themselves, the black ninjas decided to was time to leave the battlefield. Leo was quick to notice them leave.
"Double time! They're getting away!" Leo states. He was pointing to the black ninjas whom have all started to escape, especially the one who the young kunoichi negotiating with.
"Hey! Come back here! I'm not finish with you yet!" She exclaims at him but he and the others all grabbed on the ropes that leads them to the skylight and out of her reach. Sally sees one more ninja. It was the same ninja that was wearing the metal glove from before. He was heading to the same display case with the unique sword in it. She angrily growls as hardens her grip on her sword and charges forward.
The ninja with the glove puts his hand through the hole, grabs the sword and carefully pulls it out; without tripping the alarm. He sees his fellow teammates leaving the museum; indicating him that he should leaves as well. He was about to join them but was halted by a one very mad girl; holding her sword at the ninja with the Turtles all standing behind her.
"Hold it, pal!" she snarls at the black ninja.
"Just put the sword back, sparky, and we'll call it a draw." Raph hassles their foe whom finds himself surrounded by the Turtles and Sally.
Just when they were about to beat the crud out of him, the black ninja raised the sword above and all of a sudden, the blade emits a bright electrically light which partly blinds the teens. They were stunned of what this ancient sword can do. He then aims the swords at them and shoots a shockwave blast at them; knocking them back. The ninja with the sword quickly grab the nearest rope, carefully climbs up to the skylight while holding the sword with the help of another ninja and manage to escape. Not long after that, police sirens were heard in the distance.
The Turtles and Sally have regained themselves from that blast.
"How about best two out of three?" Mikey asked his siblings while he, Raph, Leo and Sally manages to stand up and puts their weapons away.
Don rubs his head. "What was that sword?" the purple turtle wonders as Raph holds out his hand to help his brother onto his feet. But there was no time to answer as the police siren draw in closer.
Hold that thought. We gotta book it." Leo orders his siblings. They all manage to escape the museum in a nick of time before the cops enter the building.
Look like Sally will get her answer another time.
The teens have all arrived back to the Lair where to their relief; the power has just come back on. Unfortunately, Sally also missed her favourite show with Splinter and normally she would torture her brother because of this but she decided to let them off the hook because she wasn't in the mood.
Why? Because of the fight that she had with those ninjas. The symbol on them was so familiar to her that she can't quite seem to remember. If only she knew the answers.
Right now, she and her brothers were showing the insignia to their father; the one that Mikey took from one of the ninjas that he fought. As the students gather around their teacher; waiting for an answer, the rat looks down at the garb with a disturbing look.
"What does the symbol mean, Master Splinter?" the blue turtle asked his father.
Master Splinter could describe one word for this. "Trouble." Look like the rat knows something about the ninjas and not just the Turtles and Sally. Mostly Sally.
"You know something about these ninjas?" Raph inquired but the rat heads for his room as the red turtle raises some more question and follows his father. "Where do they come from? Who do they work for?"
"And what do they want with a magic sword?" Mikey wonders about the weapon that they stole at the museum.
"Nope, not magic." Everyone looks at the smart turtle. "Probably more like a self-perpetuating oscillation frequency generator." Don explained in technical terms. Ok, even his brothers and sister doesn't even get that.
"Uh...in English, Einstein?" Mikey asked.
"It packs a shockwave that'll knock you flat on your shell." He simply explained again to siblings. That was better.
The red turtle pulls out his Twin Sai. "We gotta go after these creeps!" Raph declares; ready for more payback.
"I'm definitely with Raph on this!" Sally harshly agrees; slamming her fist into her palm; hoping to get her answers.
In order for his children to get suspicion, the rat turns around and faces them. "No. A wise ninja does not seek out an enemy he does not fully understand." He advises his students.
The Turtles and Sally looked astonished at their father's disapproval. Leo steps forward; hoping to reason his father. "But Sensei, Bushido demands that we fight for honour and justice and –"
"—Bushido also demands that you honour your master's wishes!" the rat master snaps at his children. Well, that is one way to shut the teens up. The rat turns around and looks at the garb before he walks away. "I will meditate upon this matter further. Goodnight." He enters his room and closes the doors behind him. The Turtles and Sally could only stand there in disappointment. Their father would not let go after the ninjas. So much for getting payback – again.
"Aw, undergrounded again." Mikey complained. Well, nothing to do but wait for their father.
Don placed his on his chin. "Hmmm." He murmurs. The purple turtle begins to think for a moment. If Splinter won't tell about them, maybe they'll find out in another way. A second later, he gets an idea. "Hey!" he snaps his finger as runs off to another part of the lair. Look like the smart turtle is on to something.
"Where are you going, brainiac?" Raph wonders as he, his brothers and sister all chased after him.
Don runs all the way to his computer at his workstation and gest to work as his brothers and sister join him.
"There's more than one way to seek out your enemy." He said as he begins to research on the Internet about the ninjas and the symbol. With the Turtles looking at the screen, Sally looks away from with a troubled look on her face. Not just the icon bothers her but for some reason; Splinter knows something about this too.
And something tells her that she and her brothers will find out soon enough…
(Unknown building, Manhattan, NY – 9:00pm)
…and soon enough. Not far from the Lair, the leader behind the ninjas enters through the main door with the red foot insignia on it that leads to his officer or dojo where four black ninjas were waiting for him. That leader was none other than Oroku Saki. After the door closed up behind him, he removes the top part of his tunic and drops it on the ground behind him. His light brown Obi was wrapped high around his chest and was wearing grey armbands that goes up to his elbows. He puts his arms to the side as four black ninjas approach him and kneel down on one knee in respect of their master.
Saki placed his palms together, closes his eyes and bows; signifying if his men are ready to fight. The black ninjas nod in affirmative. They were ready.
Not long after that, the ninja on the far right draws his Katana and jumps up and delivers the first strike but he misses and Saki does a roundhouse kick. The next one soon followed afterwards. He wields a Kusarigama as he twirls the chain. He throws the chain at his master but the ninja himself gracefully dodges it by performing a strong front flip away from his opponents. The third ninja comes up from behind him with a Katana and tries to do an aerial strike but Saki does another front flip and used his leg to throw the ninja into the fourth ninja
At the exact moment, his right-hand man, Hun appears from the side as he walks towards the ninja. He was carrying something long that was covered by a sheet. Probably something valuable that is worth to see.
"Ah. Hun." Saki announced. He then holds up his hand; gesturing him to halt. "One moment." The giant thug obeys his command as waits patiently for his master. The four ninjas charged the ninja for another round. Saki does an axel kick on the first one with the Katana, punches the second with the Kusarigama and kicks the third one behind him which causes him to drop the sword and lands in Saki's grasp. He throws the Katana from his left into his right as the fourth and final ninja attacks him with his own Katana. Saki easily blocks the strike and kicks the ninja away; making him victorious.
With all four of his ninjas are defeated, Saki drops the Katana, walks back to where the tunic top was, puts it back on and walks up to Hun.
"I trust you bring good news?" Saki asked his loyal servant. Hun kneels in respect and presents the item to his master. Saki then removes the sheet to reveal the same sword from the museum that was placed on a pillow. It was the same sword that he order his man to retrieve from the museum. And by the looks of it, his men must have retieved it with problem at all. Guess they left out the trouble they had dealing with five ninjas. Other than that, Saki becomes pleased. Very pleased indeed
"The Sword of Tengu." He grabs the sword as he begins to admire the craftsmanship of the arifact. It might be very old but it is still very dangerous in his hands. "Still just as potent, after all these years."
He then takes the sword and holds it up against a glass case that contains very peculiar armour inside. As the sword draws near the case, the blade begins to glow. Look like they more to the sword than meets the eye. Once he removes the sword from the case, it stops glowing. "And still able to locate other artifacts that share its unique origin. Yes, this sword will help me track those that I have been hunting for all these years." He turns to Hun and places the sword back on the pillow. "Bring it to Tech Division. Tell them: Proceed with Phase Two." He orders Hun. With the sword in his possession, Saki has a lot in stores for it. But soon enough, he was not going to be expecting to lose it again. And this time, from five teenagers whom four of them are lean, mean and green.
(The Lair, Manhattan, NY - 8:30pm)
It has been more than a day since Splinter has retired into his room. With their father busy and no results of the mysterious foot symbol that they found last night, the teens decided to kick back and relax for pretty much the entire day. But they were started to get a little itchy. Itchy for some more excitement.
Mikey was on the couch; reading one of his favourite comic books from his stack that was placed next to him while munching on a bag of chips as well. He just has to make sure not to spill any on the couch or else Sally will get the fit. He took a few bites out of the bag before looking back slightly at Splinter's room. He then goes back to his comics and asked a question to his siblings. "What's up with the big cheese? He's been zoning in there all day." Usually, it doesn't take this long for someone for think this through. Probably, this must be something pretty big for the rat.
Leo was standing near his father's room; practising his kata. He offered Sally to join him but lately, she wasn't in the mood. He wanted to know what's bothering her since last night but decided to drop since he really doesn't want to bug her. "It's that ninja symbol." He answers as he wipes the sweat off his brow and then points to the rat's room. "It's got Sensei all weirded out."
Sally was sitting on the second floor with her foot hanging over the edge and her back was up against the pillar. Without her brothers' watching her, she was holding her very own garb. The same one that she found just a few months ago.
"He's not the only one." She mumbled as she looks down on the garb. She might be aware of her father's knowledge of those black ninjas. Maybe.
For Raph, he was beat the living snot out of a practise dummy that was hanging on a stand. He was doing another of punches and kicks as the dummy itself keeps flinging back to him. He was getting tired of waiting for his Sensei to come out.
"Enough of this waiting around! I say we head top-side, kick ninja butt, take ninja names, and find out the whole ninja story for ourselves!" he actually pushed his limit as he spins around, ends up being behind the dummy, kicks its head off which sends it flying across the lair and lands right into Mikey's bag of chips. Look like the hot head has made his point as he walks all the way to the front door.
"Whoa! Remind me never to get on your bed side, dude." Mikey comment the next time when Raph is not in the mood.
He turns back to the orange turtle. "Too late." Just before he makes a turn to the door, the blue turtle jumps in front of the red turtle; halting in his tracks. "Hang on, Raph." He crosses his arms over. "No one's going anywhere." Leo orders his hot-head brother.
"Guys! Check this out!" The three Turtles and the young kunoichi looked over to see the purple turtle on his computer. He has spent the better part of the day on his machine; doing his usual thing but right now, he has found something else. His siblings all approached him as he continues to speak. "I hacked into the power company's computer system. Looks like there's another blackout down by the South Street Seaport."
"I smell a rat, and I don't mean Splinter." He joked as he walks away. Don picks up his duffle bag before he, Mikey and Sally join their brother.
Leo, on the other hand, was more concern about going behind their master's wishes. "Hang on, guys. Splinter told us—"
"—not to go after the ninjas." Raph finished. "He didn't say anything about not investigating power failures."
"Excellent. I have a few new surveillance toys I wanna test." Don confided as he lightly pats his bag. They all headed out to the front door; leaving the blur turtle by himself.
Since they won't listen to him and they did promise that they won't go after the ninjas, Leo decided to give in. Besides, he needs to look out for them since he is the leader. "Wait up!" the blue turtle calls as he goes after his brothers and sister. "It's tough being the leader." Leo grumbles as he goes after his brothers and sister.
With that settled, the teens are on a mission. As they all leave, no-one was aware of a certain rat who has been watching them the entire time. The teens travelled all the way to the South Street Seaport. They decided to get a better look as they find themselves on top of one of the towers on the Brooklyn Bridge. The teens looked over to the city on their right to see the Big Apple is completely pitch black.
"Total blackout. Just like last night." Raph stated as Don was going through his duffle bag. The purple turtle was wearing a belt that was crossed over on the front. On his shell was one of his latest creations.
"But this time, I came prepared." He told everyone as he pulls out another creation. It was a special-kind of goggles with three lenses on the front; two for his eyes and the third located on the forehead and has an attached microphone for communication. Before his put them on, Mikey swipes the goggles from his brother's hand and puts them on for his excitement. The orange turtle just loves to test out his brother's inventions.
"Awesome! Total turtle vision!" Mikey exclaims; waving his hands in front of him like an idiot.
Don takes the goggles off the turtle's head and puts them on his head. "Night vision, actually." Don corrected. He looks through his goggles which give off the area his see a much lighter view. He then sees Mikey's hand waving at him; indicating that the Night Vision goggles works and turns to his left as he gets a better view of his brothers and sister.
"How do we survey such a large area?" the blue leader wonders. And as usual, the purple turtle was one step ahead.
"I came prepared for that too." And this is when he other invention comes in. He pulls on rope which expels dark purple wings of his customise hang glider. The turtle has founded a way to soar through the sky. "I've been dying to try this puppy."
His older brother could only stand there in shock. "You mean you haven't tested it yet?"
"Dude, how's he supposed to test a flying machine in the sewers?" Mikey posed.
"He does have a good point though." Sally stated to the blue turtle.
"We'll stay in touch via shell cell." He avowed as he turns on the communication on his goggles and Leo pulls out his Shell Cell. "I've worked out all the theoretical aerodynamics." He holds on to the steel handle bar of his glider and runs towards to the edge of the bridge. "It's practically fool-PROOOF!"
The purple turtle runs off the edge and begins to glide. "WHOA-HAH-OH!" Look like the Hang-Glider was working like a charm.
"Whoa!" Sally exclaimed at the sight of her brother flying through the sky. She was amazed but jealous because she always wanted to fly as well. She hopes that he will have the time in the future to make extras.
"But is it Don-proof?" Raph amusingly wonders; crossing his arms over as he, his brothers and sister watch their smart sibling fly high above the East River.
As the purple turtle continues to fly above the metal cable connecting the towers, Leo keeps contact of him on through the Shell Cell. "Don? Don!"
"I'm okay. No problem." But the purple turtle thought twice when he was heading straight for the tower in front of him. "Uh oh." Just before his face personally meets the wall, Don quickly makes a turn to the right. "Whoa! Just forgot to compensate for the wind drag on my Bo Staff." He laughs it off as he continues to fly high above the East River when something actually caught his eye.
He looks through his Night Vision as it gets a better observation. It turns out to be a strange blue beam; emitting from a large cannon that was sitting on top of a tall and stable scaffolding. The beam itself was hitting the surface of the harbour. "Guys, I'm picking up something strange down on the river."
"What is it?"
"It looks like they're searching for something under the water." Don responded as he continues to fly towards it. He just has to be careful not to get too close to that thing.
"Who's searching?"
Don activates the zoom on his goggles as it gets a visual. To his surprise, they were unfamiliar faces but they are wearing a very familiar icon. "It's our ninja buddies again." He then looks over to see the same sword from last night. It was lighting up with sparks flying around the blade. Must be powering the beam. "They have that sword they stole rigged up to some kind of vibrational cannon." Don looks back to the beam that was still hitting the water. "I'm over Pier 16." He replied his whereabouts.
"We're there." The team were running across the metal cable; heading their brother's way.
Waiting for his brothers and sister to show up, Don continues to fly closer to the beam. "I'm going in for a closer…" but the smart turtle didn't make a smart move as he accidently gets caught in the beam!
"WHOA!" The power of the ray messes up his flying as he starts to spin out of control.
Meanwhile, his brothers and sister were watching for the bridge as the concern leader was still on the Shell Cell. "Don, what is it?" he responded; trying to get his brother speak but he could hear was brother screaming for danger.
"WHOA!" he screams as he continues to fall to his doom. The hang glider was damaged from the beam which it is causing the poor turtle to drive down with no control. "Mayday! Mayday! I'm going down! WHOA!" The purple turtle lands face first into the water; erupting a huge splash.
Far from his whereabouts, the three Turtles and Sally were no longer on the bridge and now on the docks. They all halted at the sound of a splash over on the Shell Cell. Concern for their brother, they don't know if he is ok or not.
"Don! Can you hear me? Say something, bud." Leo called on the Shell Cell but no response. They are beginning to worry if their brother is ok or not.
On the surface of the water was the damaged Hang-Glider is but no sign of the turtle. A few moments later, the purple-masked reptile has risen up to the surface; gasping for air. Donatello has survived! Relieved that he is ok, he has to let his family know. He then press his knob on his goggles before he speaks up.
Back with the others, they are waiting patiently for Don as they all cuddled around the Shell Cell.
"Man! That water stinks! And this is from a turtle who lives in the sewers."
He is alive! The brothers and sister of the survived reptile are now relieved when they heard their brother's voice. It's going to take more than a hit from the beam to take down the smart turtle.
"Yes!" They cheered as they curled their arm in and pumped it downwards. They all keep on moving down on the docks as they got closer to their target. Just only a few more piers and they will join their brother shortly. As they get closer, they are getting a closer view on the cannon.
"I have a visual on the cannon." Leo quietly report to Don on the Shell Cell and to his siblings whom are right behind him. "I only see two guys. But that just means the others are hiding."
And how right he is. Sally has already sense the danger and looks behind to see.
"How about right behind us." she said as the boys turned around. They see Several ninjas whom appeared from a nearby boat. They jumped down from the floating vehicle and surround the heroes. Leo puts his Shell Cell away in his belt as Raph, Mikey and Sally all took a step back and joined the blue turtle; back-to-back.
"I hate it when you two are right." Mikey complained.
Sally gives off a little smirk. It was time for a rematch. "So, what do you say, boys?" she wonders as she flexes her fingers out.
Her brothers were all thinking the same idea. "LET'S TURTLEIZE 'EM" the Turtles shouted. They all pulled out their specific weapons and charged into battle.
They are now fending off as many ninjas as they can on the boardwalk. With the blue turtle, Leo kicks one ninja to the side and jumps onto the boat as more ninjas approach on the deck. Leo performs a spilt kick before touching the ground and successfully blocks a Katana attack from another ninjas with his two swords. But the turtle pushes the ninja off and does an aerial kick in the black ninja's chest and knocks him off the ship.
He placed on hand on the boardwalk and lifted himself up. He does a forward roll; followed by another until he is under a tinted roof that is holding up by wooden poles. As soon as he was about to catch his breath, two ninjas with Katanas in their jumps down from the roof and attacked the purple turtle. Don manages to whack the first ninja; sending him flying into the water. The second ninja brings down his Katana at the turtle but Don blocks from above and whacks the ninja away; joining the other ninja in the water.
Don then pole vaults onto a nearby ship that infected with more ninjas. Once he got onto the deck, he twirls his Bo Staff high above his head as he prepares to fight.
Sally was dealing with her own set of ninjas from the ship. With her standing on the rails, she was getting a better height with two ninjas in front of her. The first one wielding tries to stab the young kunoichi but Sally moves to her right which caused the ninja to go over the rail and fall into the water.
Just as the second wipes his Bo Staff at her feet, she jumps up just before its makes contact with it and jumps on the ninja's shoulder with her hands and pushes them off him and delivers a spinning aerial kick into the back; causing him to also go over the rail and fall into the water. Sally swings her swords around in a circle.
"Ha! Ninjas overboard!" she laughs at her victory.
Meanwhile, Raph was already on the ship; climbing up a cargo net that was attached to a pole on the boat. Unaware to him, right above are more ninjas. One of the ninjas is wielding a Kama. Just before the red ninja was just a few ropes closer to them, the black ninja slashes the net; cutting off the connection. Raph screams as he falls down straight for the deck. While he is falling, he manages to use his Sai and stabs it into the pole; saving himself from the fall and was only a few feet off the ground. These ninjas are pretty crafty for pulling a trick like that which does not make this certain turtle happy.
"Why you...!" he grumbles. Not a second too soon, the two ninjas from before jumps down wielding their Dual Kamas at the turtle. He lets out a growl as he watches over the active cannon still in play. Look like the plan of stopping the cannon might just have to wait.
Back at the cannon, the two technicians use the machine to continue drilling the beam into the water. They manage to reach the bottom where pieces of the dirt began to crumble up. As the dirt disappears, something emerges from it.
With the first technician operating the machine, the other contacts more help from his communicator. "We found what we're looking for. Bring in aerial support." He orders on his com-link.
Back on the ship, Mikey puts on a pirate act while swinging his Nunchakus around as he backs up from the three ninjas who are approaching him. "Avast, ye scurvy seadogs! Argh, shiver me timbers! Blow me down!" he jokes as he continues to spin his weapons around. He lets out a laugh; feeling all cocky. But all that change when he backs into a wall. Look like the turtle is in trouble now. The three ninjas all now advances on him; trapping the poor turtle.
"Okay, about that blow me down part..." But the orange turtle will have to keep his mouth shut as the three ninjas prepare to attack him. They charge at him but all of a sudden, a sail falls on top of them. Confused, Mikey looks up to a helping hand from his older sibling who was standing on a pole. "Thanks, bro." he acknowledges him.
Just then, a helicopter flies into the pier and hovers right above the beam. The pilot then activates the crane. The door opens up from the floor of the copter and the contraption is then lifted down into the whirlpool. It then grabs hold of a strange amour; all rusted and covered in seaweed.
Back on the boat, Raph was still going head-to-head with the two ninjas. As they circle around each other, the two black ninjas were spinning their chain part of their Kusarigama around. The one on Raph's left throws the chain at the turtle first but he manages to easily block it with his Sai. "Nice try, dipstick." He stated; throwing the chain away. But he was not expecting the second chain to wrap around his legs; causing him to trip over the railing and hangs upside down. As the turtle dangle there, the first from before drops down below him and holds his Kama at the ninja. Look like the turtle is ready to be slice and dice. He sure could use a little help from his bros.
Luckily, help was just around the corner. Leo was still on the highest pole as he grabs the rope and swings to his brother's aid.
"Who says they never cut you a break?" he asked as he swings by and cuts the chain around his brother's ankle; thus releasing him. He begins to fall and lands shell-first on the ninja. Now free and unharmed, he stands up and twirls his Sais around.
"Not pretty, but I'll take it." He acknowledges him as he goes off fighting more of those black ninjas.
Not far from him, Don was dealing with the last two ninjas. The ninja with the Katana swings at the purple but he manages to block and whacks him away. The second one with another Katana tries to do the same thing but Don pole vaults over the blade; dodging the attack. The ninja tries again but Don blocks the blade with his shell facing him and jabs him in the guts. Don whacks him into a nearby lifeboat.
For the first one who just recovered, he comes charging in and picks up his Katana that he dropped. But the turtle was quick enough to use his Bo Staff to jab him on the foot. Ouch! Lucky for Don, the Tabi wasn't sturdy enough which caused the black ninja to hop around in pain while clutching his foot. With him unfocused, Don puts his Bo Staff under his foot; making him falls on his butt. Don then placed his weapon behind the black ninja and flips him into the same lifeboat. With the last two ninjas in the lifeboat, he lowers them into the water. The black ninjas have finally been defeated.
The four siblings have finally reunited with their brother. "I think this teamwork effort gets a most improved." Leo expressed.
"I think so too, Leo." Sally agrees; crossing her arms. They then looked over to the cannon and the helicopter.
"Schools not out yet." Don stated as he points to the helicopter that was still hovering above near the beam. "That's one cool shell chopper."
The crane on the chopper picks up what's seems to be from the teens' point of view was a very extraordinary amour that was just dished out from the bottom of the harbour. They watch the thing being pulled out of the water.
"What's up with Barnacle Bill?" Mikey asked as they continued to watch the amour being pulled up by the crane into the copter. The door closes up from behind it and the flying vehicle flies away from the pier.
"Whatever it is, it can't be good." Raph responded. The five teens then race down on the pier and are heading to the cannon to put a stop to it before it was dealt with more damage. At the cannon, one of the two technicians was seating at the console of the machine as sparks was still flying out from the blade of the sword. He pressed two buttons which automatically shut the cannon down and the water has settled.
As they were just finishes packing up and getting ready to leave, Leo appears on the edge of the scaffolding that they're about head to.
"Now, boys, there's a small matter of some stolen property we need to discuss." Leo explained to them.
Stunned to see a mutant turtle, they try to make a break for it as one of them drops a metal glove. They tried to run off the scaffolding from another edge, but Don has already bet them to it.
"Dudes, you really shouldn't be playing with such dangerous toys." The purple turtle lectures them. The two technician went to the other edge but the red turtle and the young kunoichi were already there waiting for them. They tried to get off the last edge but Mikey already appears there; letting out a viscous growl at them. The two technician backs away from the ninjas towards the cannon; unable to defend themselves but they came prepare for intruders like them. One of the technicians pulls out a handheld device from his belt and shoots laser at the orange turtle but Mikey ducks from the attack just in time.
Leo comes up to the technician and does an aerial kick in the chest; causing him to falls onto his back and the laser slices the console in half; causing the cannon to malfunction. The sword was lighting up so bright like the Fourth of July. The machine was starting to shake which caused the scaffolding to shake as well. The teens are doing their best to hold on to the side while the technicians were at the damaged console; trying to stop the cannon. Sparks were still lighting up like crazy and smoke was coming out from the console and a beeping sound was made.
"It's overloading! I can't control it!" the first technician said.
"Who cares? We're leaving!" The second one points to the sky to see the same helicopter that has come back from dropping off the amour. The helicopter flies down just a few meters from but the technicians were skilled enough to jump up and grabbed the railing and climbed into the copter as it was leaving. Look like they left the Turtles and Sally to deal with the trouble.
"They're getting away!" Raph barked as they stand up and watch the helicopter disappear into the distance. The scaffolding was still shaking because of the cannon. To make things more complicated, the cannon begin to start up again and turn to face the shore.
"I think we've got bigger problem." Don notified his family as they began to look on at horror; witnessing the event. The power of the cannon has blasted onto the shores; causing it to crumble and it was heading straight for… the city! If that thing isn't stop, the whole city of New York will come crashing down. With time running out, the Turtle and Sally will have to come up with something to prevent this disaster.
Mikey turns to his brother. "Talk about bad vibes." He joked. Raph wasn't in the mood as he and Sally were still trying to hold on.
"Not funny, Mike." The red turtle snaps at him.
"Yeah, Mikey. The city is in danger and you decided to right now crack a joke!" Sally scowl at her younger brother. Meanwhile, Leo and Don were at the cannon; hopefully to find an off switch.
"Don, can you shut it down?" Leo wonders at his technical brother. Don jumps onto the cannon.
"Well, I might be able to disconnect the sword from the accelerator," he explained; taking a crowbar from his duffle bag and yanks open the hatch to the main engine. "But crossing the power terminator could result in a feedback bloom that might—"
But time was running out as his brothers and sister were more concern about the city. "Donnie, whatever!" He turns to younger siblings. "Meantime, let's point this thing away from civilization!" he commands.
They go up to the side of the cannon as they began to use all their might to push the contraption. But one problem leads to another. Raph looks behind to see more trouble. It was a police copter and look like they are on their way here as they shine their big flashlight.
"This is the police! You on the pier! Stop where you are!" the cops warned on the megaphone. They were getting closer by the minute.
Raph turns to his purple brother. "Hurry up, Don, before we end up on "America's Most Wanted Human and Reptiles!" he informs him as he resume his pushing. Don has holding two wires from the machine; hopefully enough to stop the machine.
"Almost there." He puts the two wires which emitted a spark. But instead of stopping the machine, it did something else. 'Uh oh." He gulped. He caused the cannon to start spinning around. A few more spins and Don was knocked off. The others have to duck their heads every time it comes around. Well, the good news is that they manage to get it moving. The bad news is how they stop it. Don tried to get back onto the moving cannon but it manages to knock the purple turtle away.
"We gotta steady this thing!" Leo exclaimed to his brothers. When Sally looks to her left, she sees a crowbar. Maybe this will help. She picks it up and passes it to the blue turtle beside her.
"Use it!" She shouted to him as he grabs it out of her hand. He then goes up to the cannon, ducks one more time and then stabs the side. Sparks were flying at the touch of the crowbar and the cannon come to a complete stop. The beam was facing toward the harbour so the teens have no time to worry about the city getting destroyed. Sally goes up to the cannon and tries to grab the sword but thanks to the electric blade, it shocks her.
"Ow!" she yelps at the touch of the sword and rubs her hand. Leo sees the metal glove on the ground. Those black ninjas used that glove to hold the sword. He picks it up and turns to Sally.
"Here, try this!" he cried out. He throws the glove to her and she catches it.
She snugs the glove on, goes to the sword and picks it up without shocking her. All of a sudden, the cannon begins to shake but not in a good way. They then realised that without the sword, this machine is about to explode!
"Let's get outta here!" Don exclaimed. They all agreed as they all jumped off the scaffolding and took off running. After getting a far distance away from Pier 16, the scaffolding and the cannon all came crashing down into the harbour; giving off a blue explosion underwater. The danger has been destroyed and the city was saved.
On the pier and with the sword in their possession, the Turtles and Sally have just witness the explosion. "Whoa. Awesome light show." Mikey awe at the blast. Not far from them, they looked up to see the police helicopter; heading their way. Guess it's time to make a ninja vanish.
"And speaking of light shows…" Leo didn't have time finish his sentence as he, his brothers and sister take off back to the sewers before the police arrived to survey the scene. Look like the cause of the blackouts has been eliminated and there was much to tell their father once they get back home.
(The Lair, Manhattan, NY – 8:40pm)
The Turtles and Sally have just returned back from the blackout adventure and have told the entire story to Splinter. Although, they promise not to go bumping heads with the ninjas but they told him that the black ninjas were the cause of the recent blackouts. They then showed him the sword that they recently took from them. Master Splinter was now kneeling in front of his children whom are standing whilst the rat is holding the sword with the metal glove with caution.
"The design is unmistakably eleventh century Japanese, but the metal is unlike any I have ever seen. Clearly there is more to this sword than meets the eye." He explains he theory to his children as he stands up and walks over to a nearby table. On the table, there was a sword stand where he carefully places the ancient weapon. "Best that it remain out of the wrong hands." The teens decided to heed their master's wishes and make sure that the sword does not leave the Lair. With the sword in place, the mutant walks away and decided to turn in for the night.
Sally stays behind as she continues to look at the sword. With an uncertain look on her face, there is definitely more to this sword than meets the eye...
(Oroku Saki's building, Manhattan, NY – 8:41pm)
Although they have achieved of getting the artifact that they promised their master, he was not too pleased about losing another one. The master, Oroku Saki, was sitting at his table with the two technicians standing up in front of him.
"For a long time, longer than you can possibly imagine, my enemies have managed to elude me." He then stands up and points to the artifact that they recently found. It was sealed up in a glass case. "Here at last is proof of their presence in this city," And next to him was another glass case but smaller which it was going to be for the sword which was lost during the operation. They only had one job and they lose the sword. "And all it cost me was THE SWORD OF TENGU!" he angrily exclaims; whacks the glass case away from him.
Yep, he was not too pleased.
"Master. There were...extenuating circumstances. These four strange creatures and a young woman. They came from nowhere." The first technician explained the event.
Creatures? And a young woman intervenes on the operation. For him, this was…very familiar. His previous operator and his machines had trouble dealing with…five combatants.
On his table was a picture. The same image that was taken when the Mousers were destroyed by…certain societies. To be certain, he picks up the image of the Turtles and Sally and shows it to them. "Were these the creatures and the human you saw?" he sternly asked.
By taking one look at the image and the two technicians could only say one thing.
"Oh yes."
He pauses for a second; letting the answer sink in before speaking up. "That will be all." He then looks at the image of the four creatures and the human companion with them.
The techs then bow to their master and turn to leave. They arrived to the door when to their surprised; the door opened it up with a surprise for them on the other side. It was Hun! Their master must have sent him to deal with them if they failed in some way on their mission. He grabs them by the shoulder and closes the door behind them.
Saki was still looking at the image. At first, he felt a bit disturbed of them excerpt for the human that was with them. She doesn't seem very important to him. He was more concern about the green creatures that she is with.
"These freakish thorns in my side must be removed." He demanded; placing the image on the table and puts on his handheld gauntlet that was placed on the table. "Permanently!" He then stabs the image in anger.
Saki thinks the human with them is not that important but he is so dead wrong about this one human who is somehow connected to him…
Although did not find her answers tonight, Sally will not stop from finding the answers that she seek. With more adventures with her mutant brothers, this will definitely be one, long journey. Find out next on:
The Saint's Hope: The Way of Invisibility
Author's Notes: Ok seriously. I don't know why I always update my stories that late. Why? Because of the clashes THAT'S WHAT! First, it's the going out for dinner with the family, next, is when family relatives came down for a couple of visit. Then, I get sick for one week. And now, it was a couple of birthday outings. Seriously, it's like Sunday is a bad time to upload the next chapter but hopefully next week will be smooth. Fingers cross!
Also I was busy all day yesterday. One: Kung Fu class. Two: Hip-Hop dancing. Three: my cousin's "moving-to-another-state-and-don't-know-when-she-w ill-come-back" party. And Four: Essendon vs Richmond and WE WON! But I did manage to write a bit before bed.
Also, I wanted to mention this now but I'll save this in the future chapters. What is it? Well, that's a surprise and I ain't spilling!
This chapter was actually a reunion battle with the Foot Ninjas and Sally was getting a bit closer to finding her answers. And she might actually think that Splinter might know a thing or two about them. Someone did mention to me that is Sally going to find out about the Shredder before the Turtles. Well, first off, she WILL find out about the Shredder at the SAME TIME as the Turtles when Splinter tells them in the Lair, NOT BEFORE. You would probably know about that scene in that certain episode.
So, remember to review and add me or the story to favourites. Love to hear more from my fans! Sayonara!
Until we meet again,
