Okay, here's chapter two. And I'm gonna go ahead and warn you that this was written after a day at college, dodging my sick family, and about ten games of solitaire, so I'm kind of tired. Well, here goes.
I own nothing, so take pity on me and indulge me for a minute and let me believe that I own them. Wait. What? I can't do that? That's not fair. Silly legal reasons. (nervously glances to the side) What are you doing with a pitchfork and why do your lawyer buddies have torches? This can't be good. Where are my keys….?
Chapter 2: Renee Finrir
"Uh-oh," Michelangelo said as he swung his 'chucks, "This is definitely not good."
"What was your first clue?" Donnie asked him.
Master Splinter glanced back at the girl who was clutching her purse and books and looking around rapidly as if for an escape route. "We must not forget about the girl," he said. "I do not think she will be able to defend herself against trained ninja."
Raph snorted. "I don't think she'd be able ta defend herself against anythin'."
At that the girl whirled her head in Raphael's direction, drew herself up, shot him a piercing glare and looked like she just might throw her books at his head. She apparently thought better of this though, and merely tightened her hold on her books and continued to glare at him.
Mikey laughed. "I don't think she liked that too much, bro."
"Heads up, guys. I think they're about to attack." Leo said.
Once again, his battle instincts were proven right and the Foot attacked. The guys moved to intercept and a fierce battle ensued in the small ally. Several Foot soldiers went after Splinter and Leonardo, thinking of the favor they could win with their mistress if they brought back the body of the old rat master, or of Leonardo, who their mistress seemed to hate. Unfortunately for the overly zealous soldiers, the "old rat master" was far faster then they anticipated, and he quickly had all of them beaten with only a few well-placed hits with his walking stick.
The rest of the soldiers did not seem to be doing much better. Donatello was dispatching the three that had him surrounded, and Mikey was doing the same with his four, although he did it with more commentary. Leo, likewise, was also taking down his opponents rather quickly.
Raph had also taken out a few when he saw one make a sudden leap, but not towards him or his brothers or master, but towards the girl.
She gasped and stumbled back, already cringing from the expected impact of the Foot soldier's swords. But it never came. She heard a loud metallic ping! and looked up to see the one in the red mask standing over her, holding off her attacker with his weapons.
"Don't touch the girl!" he growled at the soldier. "She ain't got nuthin' to do with this."
She was frozen underneath her savior, unsure of what to do.
"Don't be so sure about the girl. You don't know if she does have anything to do with this attack." The soldier responded.
Raph growled. "Get out of here!" he told her. "Hide somewhere!" she scrambled to comply with what he said.
Once she was out from underneath him, Raph let the Foot Soldier's swords slide off his sais and then let him have it. The soldier was unconscious before he hit the ground.
Raph turned around to face his family. "That wasn't so hard." He said with a smirk. "They musta been rookies."
Leo started to respond, when his own smirk suddenly turned into an expression of alarm "Raph! Watch out!" he yelled
From behind and above Raph the same purple-haired leader of the group of Purple Dragons that they had thwarted earlier came. "DIE Freak!" he yelled.
Raph whirled and moved to take out his sais, but it was going to be too late.
Suddenly, out of nowhere the girl appeared, wielding a pipe. "Stay Away from him, you purple-haired, tattooed, Freak Of Nature!" she yelled at the guy that was attacking Raph. She swung the pipe, and made contact with the punk's head, but somehow in the process his own weapon made contact with one of her feet and knocked her down.
In a flash, Master Splinter had the punk pinned down, but it was unnecessary. He took one look at the Purple Dragon member and got up. "He is unconscious, although I cannot say I am surprised. The young lady delivered a hard blow." He looked up to see his sons around the girl. "Is she all right?"
The girl had fallen into some old boxes, and was currently tangled up in their contents. It looked like something from a pile higher up might have fallen on her, further entangling her. As Splinter looked on, a box fell on the girl's head. "Ow." She said from inside the box
"We're checking on her now, Sensei." Donny replied.
Indeed, his sons were attempting to help her out of the mess of boxes and other items she was currently trapped in. They succeeded and pulled her up. However, as soon as she put the foot that the punk had hit down, she grimaced and nearly fell. Leo and Mikey caught her. "Ow." She said through gritted teeth.
"What is wrong with her, Donatello?" Master Splinter asked.
"Well, it looks like something with her ankle." Donny said
"Feels like it too." She responded.
Donny gave her a glance. "I'll have to examine her ankle more to see what exactly is wrong, but-"
Master Splinter's sharp ears picked up something. "It will have to wait, my son. I am afraid that more enemies are headed our way. We must depart."
"But Master Splinter," Leo said "we won't get very far before they spot us if we travel by rooftop, and there are no manholes around."
"That is true, Leonardo, but I am afraid that we have no other choice."
"My car." The girl said. "My car is only a few blocks from here. We can get in it and get away. It only holds five people, though, so that might be a problem."
"It is one we will figure out when we get there." Master Splinter said. "Raphael, please pick up the young lady. We will travel by roof top to her car."
"It's by the library," she said as Raph pick her up, "and will somebody please hand me my purse. It has my keys in it. Oh, and could someone carry my books. College text books are kinds expensive, and I don't think my dad would be to happy with me if I lost them."
Leo retrieved her purse, and Donny got her textbooks. "Let's go." Leo said.
The girl gasped as Raph took off with her in his arms. She gripped him tightly. "Wow." She said
She looked at him again. "So you don't think I'd be able to defend myself against anything, huh?"
Raph growled. "Hey, listen, about that punk." he started.
"No worries, dude." She said. "You saved me, and I saved you. We're even."
"Right." Raph said.
"By the way," the girl said, "I'm Renee Finrir. Who are you?"
Raph grunted. "I'm Raphael. Those are my bros, Leonardo, Michelangelo and Donatello. The rat's our father, Master Splinter. Now be quiet. We don't want to be followed, so don't make too much noise."
Renee looked behind Raph's shoulder. "Ummm, Raphael. I think-"
"Be quiet."
"But Rapha-"
"I said be quiet."
"I really think-"
"Shut up!"
"that you should-"
"What part of Shut up-"
"LOOK BEHIND YOU!" she shrieked out.
He glanced behind him, as did everyone else at Renee's outburst. Following them a ways back, but catching up was a group of Foot ninja. Closer to them, but not as fast were Purple Dragons.
"SHELL!" Raph yelled out.
"I tried to tell you earlier, but you wouldn't listen." Renee told him
"How much farther to the library, my sons." Master Splinter asked.
"We're almost there." Donny replied. "What kind of a car do you drive?" he asked Renee.
"A convertible, a forest green Sebring. The top should be down. Who gets the keys? I can't drive right now."
"Oooh, oooh! Me! Me!" Mikey called out.
"NO!" everyone else yelled out.
"Ahem." Master Splinter said. "I do not believe that would be a good idea Michelangelo. Donatello, you will drive."
"Hai, Sensei." Donny said. "Hey, um… girl. Toss me your keys please."
"Ha, ha! That rhymed!" Mikey said.
"It's Renee Finrir, and can you catch? Because I can't throw." Renee responded.
"Yeah, I can catch. Just toss them my way." Donny said.
Renee threw her keys, but Leo ended up catching them. "Here you go, Donny." He said gently tossing the keys to Don.
"Sorry." Renee said.
By this time, they were descending toward the ground and running towards Renee's car. Luckily, the top down meant easy access to the seats. Donny headed towards the driver's seat and Mikey yelled "Shotgun!" and hopped in the passenger's seat. Master Splinter and Leo jumped into the back.
"Great. I only have five seats and they're six of us. How is this going to work?" Renee said.
"Like this." Raph responded. "Here." He said to Mikey as he sat Renee in Mikey's lap and hopped into the back.
Mikey flashed Renee his most charming grin. "Hey dudette. I'm the great Michelangelo, Battle Nexus Champion, butt-kickin' ninja, and the one turtle with a good sense of humor. So you're Renee, right?"
"Ohoooo." Renee groaned. "I'm so dead. Everyone buckle up. There is no way I'm going to be pulled over by some cop for not having a seatbelt on while riding in my car, that I willing gave the keys over to, with the aliens that tried to kill the President."
"We didn't try to kill the President." Raph growled.
"I think you might have bigger problems to worry about, Renee, then getting pulled over for no seat belts." Leo said. "Problems like surviving and keeping your car in one piece."
Renee cranked her neck around and saw several Purple Dragons with guns and Foot soldiers with various weapons just reaching the library. "Crap." She said
"Step on it Donny!" Leo told Don.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Renee screamed out as they sped out of the library parking lot.
So that's chapter two. What do ya'll think? Do you like the name I picked out for the girl? I really didn't expect for this opening part to be this long. This whole battle thing will probably be over in the next chapter, and Renee can finally make it to the guys' lair. Like I said last chapter, I will take suggestions for the story. Doesn't mean I'll use them, but I will consider them. And I'll go ahead and tell you that my language doesn't get above crap. My parents would kill me, and I don't cuss anyways. Well, please review and tell me what you think, whether it be a compliment or something I did wrong or you just didn't like. If ya'll will do that, I promise I won't write the next chapter when I'm so sleepy that I'm slightly dizzy. Of course that could be from spinning in the chair. Oh, come on. You know you do it too.
