As the name says, the Not part atleast, this has nothing to do with Mondo Gecko! Since it's just a filler I'm using it in my own ways! Hahahaha...enjoy :3
Kara stood over her defeated opponent as the referee started the countdown.
Behind her Casey watched uncertain if the person before him was really his friend. Something wasn't right. The minute Kara called him a night ago about booking a fight he could tell something was off by the way her voice sounded. What was even more suspicious was the characters she brought with her to the fightclub. A boney werewolf, a tigerman, and a man dressed in armor. He glanced towards them, the aura around them unsettling, every inch of him screaming that they were bad news. He tried to get her alone but she never wanted to leave the armor man's side unless he allowed it.
"Wow! Nothing less from the Blind Bandit himself, people! Winning the round in a time of ten seconds! That, fans, is a new record!" The announcer proclaimed through the mic as the crowds cheered for their victor.
Kara walked off the stage and moved by Shredder's side as they left the arena, Shredder placing his hand on her shoulder. "Well done, my apprentice."
"Thank you, Master Shredder." She spoke softly to him under the noise of the crowd, a smile on her face.
Casey followed behind the mutants watching them questioningly and decided to step outside to make a quick call not knowing he was being followed.
Dragan was practicing some combat moves while the guys just hung around, Mikey having wandered off with Casey Jones.
Raph glanced at her watching her maneuver around while thrusting, slicing, and stabbing her sword in the air, small grunts escaping her lips with each attack.
"You know, you seem pretty strong wielding that sword. Let's see how strong you really are with some good ol' fashion arm wrestling." Raph grinned while rolling his shoulder.
Dragan sheathed her sword and sighed, rolling her eyes. "It's nae as heavy as ye think it is. Why does everyone keep saying that?" She untied her scabbard from her waist before setting it down next to her shield. "I suppose I could tak a break for a moment."
"Nice! Usually Kara would be doing this with me but I haven't seen her since our fight with Shredder." Raph said as he walked over to the table, sitting down on one side.
"She's been helping Casey get better. She sent me a text not too long after we left that she felt exhausted an went straight tae his place afterwards." Dragan popped her knuckles as she sat down across from him; Raph already having his arm ready. She blinked as she stared down at his muscular arm, now able to get a good look at how bulky it is and internally gulped before bringing her average muscled, freckled arm next to his, both gripping each other hands tight.
"Oh, this out to be good." Leo chuckled walking over to them standing by Dragan's side. "Kick his butt."
Donnie smiled and joined them deciding to be the ref and placed his hands over theirs. "You guys ready?"
Raph smirked evily, "I was born ready." He said giving her hand a small squeeze to intimidate her.
Dragan showed no expression staying calm on the surface as she gave a small nod. "Ready."
"Annnnd...start!" Donnie removed his hands and they both held their own, their arms trembling as one tried to overpower the other. Leo was chanting for Dragan and Donnie for Raph.
Dragan's eyes were clenched using all the strength she had as well as using Leo's chants for motivation but just when she opened her eyes feeling as though she would win the cold surface of the table greeted the back of her hand in no time flat.
Raph removed his hand and covered his eyes as he threw his head back in laughter. "I can't believe how easy that was! Kara is more of a challenge than you!" He fell back onto his shell at how hard he was laughing, his feet kicking in the air while Dragan sat there, her face as red as her hair, embarrassed.
"That doesn't seem possible. She's able to carry and wield such a heavy weapon you'd think she'd be able to beat Raph in strength." Donnie pondered glancing over at her weapon then to her.
She stood up and walked over to her weapons and picked up her shield with a sigh. "It's not heavy guys." She spoke calmly walking over to them. "Here, I'll show ya." Her voice grew dark, the area around her eyes shadowed by her hair as she lifted the shield up just above her head and dropped it down smack on top of Raph, a smirk growing on her face as she heard the thud of the shield make contact with the plastron of Raph's shell as well as him yell in pain. She turned around beaming happily to Leo and Donnie; walking over to them and placed a kiss on Leo's cheek. "Thanks for cheering me on." She said just before walking into the living room to watch TV.
Donnie laughed at and brought out his T-Phone taking a picture of Raph. "Can't believe Mikey and Kara are missing this."
"Guys!" Dragan stormed back in the room with an dreadful expression across her face.
"What is it, Dragan?" Leo looked up at her after pulling the shield off the groaning Raph.
"It's Casey, Kara's Casey, he was attacked.." She went over to Donnie and gave him her phone. "He called an an aw I could make oot was he was attacked but now I can't get tae him. I don't know where he is." Dragan panicked while Leo tried to calm her down.
"His phone is still on..I'll be able to track his signal. Come on." He lead them all to the Shellraiser.
"He's just around the corner!" Donnie shouted leading the others with his T-Phone. As they rounded the corner they saw Casey, as well as others, passed out on the ground with Casey leaning against the wall.
"Casey!" Dragan shouted and moved to his side while the guys checked on the other people who were knocked out. She placed her hand under his nose and felt he was still breathing before moving to his side, lifting his shirt up. "Good, it hasn't reopened. We need tae get him oot o' here."
"What happened here?" Raph asked as he stared down at beaten bodies finding the bruises to be somewhat odd.
"Perhaps they're the ones who attacked Casey? It seems to be the only logical explanation." Donnie spoke as he and Leo lifted Casey up. "We'll take him to the lair."
"Something doesn't feel right though. I mean, where's Kara? She wouldn't just up and leave him like this." Leo pondered aloud.
"I..I dunno. I'll have a look around an see if I can find her."
"Uh, is that really a good idea? Having mutant turtles looking after him without you or...you?" Raph commented glancing between Casey and Dragan.
"Yeah, maybe it's best if one of us looks for her instead." Donnie added in starting to get worried himself.
Before Dragan could protest she heard movement and groans of pain behind them, the other people beginning to wake up. "No time tae argue. Go. Now!" She warned them as they shuffled inside the Shellraiser and drove off.
She moved over to one that was already awake and bend down by his side. "Ya ok? What happened?"
"Uggh, what?" He glanced up at her with one eye open, blood pooling down his other eye. "Some weird mutant was attacking Casey and we went to help him but that thing was too fast and strong."
"What happened tae Ka-Blind Bandit? Did ya see him wi Casey?" She quickly caught herself before revealing her identity.
"Wha-how do you? Nevermind, too much pain to care, no he must of been taken by those mutants." He groaned and looked to the side at the other people. "Some of the best fighters here and even they couldn't handle him.."
"Calm yourself. I'll go get everyone help so stay put." She patted his shoulder and ran off hearing him grumbling about not being able to go anywhere. "I hope you're ok, Kara.."
Back at the lair Donnie was treating Casey's minor wounds on the couch. Afterwards he leaned back with a sigh. "I don't know if Master Splinter is going to like this.." He muttered glancing over to Master Splinter's room.
"We don't have much of a choice. Casey is Kara's close friend and we have to take care of him. She'd feel awful if anything worse happened to him." Leo looked to the side knowing how much he meant to her.
"I think we'd need to worry more of ourselves than him if something happened. She'd totally crack our shells.." Raph commented, crossing his arms.
"Sshh! I think he's waking up." Donnie raised his voice to get their attention all of them moving around Casey to get a look at him.
Casey slowly opened his eyes with a groan able to hear voices above him. Only seeing green he blinked his eyes to adjust them and when his vision was clear he stared at up at mutant turtles.
"Heh. Hi." Leo smiled awkwardly giving a small wave.
Casey moved his eyes focusing on him and gave a nod. "Hi...?"
Dragan first checked their home then Casey's but couldn't find her anywhere. She climbed the nearest rooftop to get a better view She leaned against an A/C unit with a sigh, crossing her arms over her chest. "Where could she be? She's not answering her phone an she's nowhere around...this isn't like her."
"Well, well, what have we here."
Dragan blinked and turned to where she heard the voice and saw Tigerclaw and someone wearing similar outfit and armor as Karai. "Did...was Stockman able tae create a retromutagen for Karai?" She squinted her eyes to get a better view of the person but it was too dark for her to see as well as them being too far.
"Are you sure she will be reliable to Master Shredder's plans? Failing him will not only be unwise but with dire consequences." Tigerclaw glance down at the person beside him who only gave a nod.
"I guess ye found yourself a new recruit. What, Shredder finally realize ye mutants are useless?" Dragan smirked hearing Tigerclaw growl in anger but blinked when he began to chuckle.
"You'll see for yourself, girl. Sooner than you think." Tigerclaw immediately brought out his weapons and began firing.
Dragan brought out her sword as the fighting commenced.
Casey slowly sat up, the guys backing up to give him some space, looking around the room curiously. "Ngh, where am I?"
"We brought you to our home after we found you knocked out. Dragan lead us to you." Leo answered him, watching as he rubbed the back of his head. "What happened?"
"We..we were at a match. Kara was acting strange and around these threatening characters. It's like..she wasn't herself."
"What did they look like?" Donnie asked.
"Well, one looked like a boney werewolf." Casey began trying to remember.
"Rahzaar?" Raph questioned, surprised.
"And there was this Tiger mutant.."
"Tigerclaw?!" Donnie yelled, startled.
Dragan dodged Tigerclaw's assaults and she charged for him and raised her sword for an attack but the new recruit pushed Tigerclaw out of the way. Dragan's blinked in surprise fearing she was going to harm the new person as they held their hands up but what happened next, blew her mind.
Small blades shot out from the sides of the gloves that they wore as they crossed their arms, the blades blocking her sword. As Dragan and the new person struggled to overpower the other Dragan was able to get a good look at the new recruit. Their eyes were covered by a black bandana, much like how Kara does. Her eyes widened and she pushed herself away from them. "No...can't be...Kara?!"
She only smirked as she charged for her.
"And there was one more..he wore heavy, metal armor and had a large scar on the side of his face.." Casey looked up and was surprised to see Leo's reaction, staring down at him in shock.
"Shredder.." Leo whispered, his fists clenched tight.
"No way...you don't think..?" Donnie's eyes were wide in shock.
Leo's head suddenly shot up and he snapped his neck to his brothers. "Dragan.."
"Kara, stop, it's me!" Dragan shouted as Kara attacked with no remorse; all Dragan was able to do was dodge. "Grr, snap oot o' it, idiot!"
From behind her she could hear chuckling and glanced Tigerclaw's way as he watched in amusement. "She will not react like the others from before. Being human gives the worm a much stronger hold on her brain than that of a mutant. There is nothing you can say to rid the worm from her mind."
Angered by his words, Dragan switched to offense and began her attacks leaving Kara to change to defense using her blades to block her attacks as well as dodge. As Kara leaned to the side to dodge another attack she was slow by a milisecond and Dragan managed to cut the bandana.
Kara took a step back as the bandana slowly slid from around her eyes revealing they were completely blackened.
Dragan's body jolted at the sight of them, clenching the hilt of her sword tighter.
Kara smirked seeing her reaction and slowly walked towards her.
Dragan took a step back, fear in her eyes. "Kara..I know you're in thare. Please..please snap oot o' it. This isn't ye..please, come back tae us." Dragan felt tears in her eyes knowing this wasn't the person she knew.
Kara stopped in her steps and lowered seeming to ponder at what she said.
Tigerclaw lowered his arms watching her curiously.
Dragan slowly began to smile when she saw Kara's body seem to relax, putting away her blades and she slowly lowered her weapon. "Kara..."
Kara walked up to Dragan and she placed a hand on her shoulder. "Dragan." She said softly, a smile on her face.
"Yes?.."
"Never..put your guard down." Her smile twisted into a grin and she slammed her fist in Dragan's gut making Dragan's eyes widen and gasp in pain before Kara turned around and jabbed her elbow right into her neck knocking her out cold; letting her fall to the ground. Kara stared down at her, the arm she used trembling but she held it and turned towards Tigerclaw.
"Excellent work, young cub!" Tigerclaw smiled, holding his arms out before walking over and collecting Dragan, lifting her up over his shoulder while Kara grabbed her sword. They both turned to leave but stopped when they heard a voice.
"Hold it right there!"
Tigerclaw turned to see the turtles with their weapons drawn out for a fight.
"Let. Her. Go." Leo said his voice angry and cold.
"No way, so it's true!" Raph voiced seeing Kara with her back to them having no doubt it was her.
Kara turned her head in their direction and they all gasped seeing the look of her eyes.
"Kara.."
She froze at the sound of her name immediately recognizing the voice as her eyes slowly trailed to Donnie.
His body jumped at the look of her eyes, clenching his weapon close to him but he gave her a small smile. "I-It's me, remember? Your..heh..adorkable mad scientist? You..you can fight this. I know you can."
"Foolish turtles. As I explained to the girl she is lost fore-.." He stopped midsentence hearing the clang of the sword being dropped.
Kara grabbed at her head feeling it beginning to pulse and throb. Her eyes wide she let out a scream while throwing her head back in pain, tears in her eyes.
Tigerclaw's ears flattened before growling knowing it was time to go. He threw a smoke bomb at their feet and grabbed Kara, throwing her over his other shoulder and fled the scene.
"No! Kara!" Donnie shouted going to follow after them.
Leo stopped him by grabbing his shoulders. "We need a plan first."
"We have to go after them! You know what's going to happen to Dragan! We need to go now!" Donnie shouted in anger but gasped when Leo hugged him.
"I know, Donnie...I know.." He gave him a gentle squeeze as Donnie gave in and leaned into the hug, tears sliding down his face the image of Kara as she is now haunting his mind.
Raph walked up to them, placing his hands on their shoulders. "Come on, let's go explain everything that happened to the others.." He said to them just before they left the scene.
Arriving back at the lair Tigerclaw laid the two girls before Shredder.
"Excellent. I knew she would be successful in capturing her friend." Shredder stared down at them, Kara now back to being controlled, kneeling beside Tigerclaw.
"Your faith in me is well placed, Master Shredder." She said softly her eyes closed.
"There was a problem, Master. It seems once she sees a certain turtle, the one named Donatello, she is able to somewhat fight against the creatures control."
"Is this true?" He asked staring down at Kara.
"..Yes, Master Shredder." She admitted, lowering her head further.
"Hmm, seems we will need to do something about that but for now, take the girl to the lab to get her under our control."
"Yes, Master Shredder." Both Kara and Tigerclaw said in unison before standing up, Tigerclaw picking Dragan up and made their way to the lab.
Shredder narrowed his eyes in thought at what Tigerclaw said to him, pondering in curiosity at how she was able to get loose of it's hold on her. Perhaps there is something between the two..something he could use to his advantage. He turned his head towards the entrance to the lower floor hearing a high-pitched scream then closed his eyes when it was quiet again. Something indeed.
Soooooooo? Whatcha think? YOU ALL KNOW THE ROUTINE! RATE/COMMENT THIS SUCKA! Til next time! See ya when I see ya! :D
