Chapter 15:
"You dim-witted fool," Xiaoli growled, "I tell you to do one simple thing, and you fail me."
"Well if those…"
"NOT ANOTHER WORD!" she shouted, fire burning in her eyes. Shredder glared back with as much force. She blinked, a smirk forming on her lips.
"I think I have an idea," she chuckled darkly.
-
"It's nice to sneak out every once in awhile," Micco stated, "no brothers telling me what to do…seriously."
"Yeah," Krystal sighed, "I mean…Val is great…but she does get a bit over protective."
"Along with Kay," Kat stated.
"Man…its beautiful tonight," April stated, "I'm glad we came on the outskirts of town."
"Amen, to that," Casey grinned.
Suddenly a bright light appeared, and a young woman stood there floating in place, her dark hair waving snake like around her head, her hands glowing, and black and blood red robes on her slim body. Her eyes flashed red.
"I have come to challenge the lot of you to a battle," she hissed, "and a battle of the death. Tomorrow at midnight, meet me at the airport, and don't worry about transportation, a train will be arriving for you at ten thirty. If you don't show up…"
She smirked, a large amount of energy appeared in her small hands, and she aimed it toward the city.
"ARE YOU CRAZY!?" Micco cried.
The ball of energy disappeared, "That is only a demonstration of what I can do…if you don't show up tomorrow, say goodbye to your precious city…and, if you leak one word to those mutants or the two fallen angels…then I have no choice but…you'll find out on your own."
She disappeared as soon as she appeared.
"Guys…we have to do it!" Casey and Krystal cried.
"But it could also be a trap," Kat said, while April nodded in agreement. All eyes went on Micco.
Micco thought a bit, "Kat and April do have a point…but all those people, so I say: WE GOT AND FIGHT!" She put her hand out. Krystal and Casey immediately put their hands in.
After a bit of thinking, Kat and April put their hands in.
Minutes later, the group silently sat in the car.
"We shouldn't tell them…" Kat whispered, staring out the window.
"Kat, we know that," Casey rolled his eyes.
"They can just read us so well," Kat whispered, "how are we supposed to hide this?"
Micco thought for a few seconds, "I KNOW! We can get a pizza…and some sushi for Master Splinter…it causes them to lower suspicions!"
-Two Hours Later-
"Hey everyone," Kat said, walking in with two boxes of Pizza in hand, followed by Krystal, Micco, April, and Casey who were either carrying pizza or sushi.
"Where in the world have you guys been?" Leo asked.
"Around," Krystal stated.
"So, what are you doing tomorrow?" Don asked.
"We're going to…" Kat began.
"We're going to do girl stuff…and we're taking Casey to carry the baggage!" Krystal smiled innocently.
-The Next Day-
Micco glanced at the clock, nearing nine fifty. Soon they would have to be leaving for the train station. She counted the ticks, and reflected on missing the laughter of Bence and Keiko, her future niece and nephew. She was happy that Kimiko, Clay, and Omi chose to take the two back to their new future, and left them here to fight Xiaoli and Shredder.
"We'll be back sometime in the AM," Kat whispered standing up. Don stood there, staring at the group of recreated god and goddesses.
"Okay…" Leo whispered. Val and Kay were too busy playing a board game with Mike and Raph, they just waved goodbye, paying attention to their game.
April, Casey, Kat, Krystal, and Micco left in an eerie quiet.
"Where exactly are they going?" Leo asked.
"Ya know, they have been actin' pretty strange since yesterday," Raph stated, moving his game piece.
"How so?" Kay asked.
"Like…Kat not sayin' one thing," Raph stated.
"So…" Val said.
"She is nevah this quiet," Raph stated, "I mean what she said a few minutes ago was the only thing she's said all day."
"I vote check out the good ol' orb," Mike smirked.
"Alright…go get it Mike," Leo stated.
Mikey returned fifteen minutes later, the orb in his hands. He asked the question, and an imaged appeared with the group that had left them, star gazing.
"They went star gazing?" Val asked.
"And they didn't invite me," Mikey pouted.
"Man…its beautiful tonight," April stated, "I'm glad we came on the outskirts of town." She was staring at the sky in an amazed manner.
"Amen, to that," Casey agreed, glancing at April. When a bright light suddenly appeared, the figure of a young woman appeared.
"Guys…I think that's Xiaoli," Leo stated. Mikey let out a low whistle, only to have Kay smack him in the back of the head.
"I have come to challenge the lot of you to a battle," she hissed, "and a battle of the death. Tomorrow at midnight, meet me at the airport, and don't worry about transportation, a train will be arriving for you at ten thirty. If you don't show up…"
She threw an orb of energy towards the city.
"ARE YOU CRAZY!?" Micco cried. Everyone watching tensed as the orb disappeared.
Xiaoli laughed, "That is only a demonstration of what I can do…if you don't show up tomorrow, say goodbye to your precious city…and, if you leak one word to those mutants or the two fallen angels…then I have no choice but…you'll find out on your own."
"Maybe I shouldn't have suggested the orb," Mikey gulped.
Raph nudged Mikey, sending him a warning look.
Xiaoli disappeared.
"Guys…we have to do it!" Casey and Krystal cried.
"But it could also be a trap," Kat said, while April nodded in agreement. All eyes went on Micco.
Micco thought a bit, "Kat and April do have a point…but all those people, so I say: WE GOT AND FIGHT!" She put her hand out. Krystal and Casey immediately put their hands in. A few seconds later, Kat and April stuck their hands in.
They immediately went to the van.
"We shouldn't tell them…" Kat whispered, staring out the window.
"Kat, we know that," Casey rolled his eyes.
"They can just read us so well," Kat whispered, "how are we supposed to hide this?"
Micco thought for a few seconds, "I KNOW! We can get a pizza…and some sushi for Master Splinter…it causes them to lower suspicions!"
"Sometimes I hate having a little sister," Leo stated.
"Yeah…but you can't help but love her," Mike grinned.
"Where are they now?" Val asked.
"Run you guys!" Micco said, as the five climbed the steps.
"So we're a little slow," Kat stated, "it'll be ten thirty." As soon as the reached the top they looked around, only to see that all the trains weren't working.
"Do you think she canceled on us?" April asked suspiciously. To their surprise, the train in front of them, the door slid open.
"Okay……that was freaky," Casey stated. Kat rolled her eyes.
"Xiaoli sent us our own private car," Krystal growled under her breathe.
"So, let's take it," she said in a louder tone.
They all nodded before Casey helped them onto the train one at a time.
"We gotta help them," Raph growled.
-
Kat stared absent mindedly out the window; she hated fighting with all her heart, body, and soul.
"Kat, everything's going to be okay," Krystal smiled at her friend, "we'll make it out alive."
"Then why do I feel that someone isn't going to make it?" she asked.
"It could be Xiaoli, you'll never know," Krystal stated.
Kat closed her eyes, "Tell Micco as soon as she finishes sharpening her Kusarigama that I need to sharpen my spear."
"Yeah," Krystal nodded, "I mean, April has sharpened her axe, and I've sharpened my fans."
Kat nodded, "I think someone is following us."
"Who?" Micco asked, handing the sharpener to Kat.
"I think I know," Krystal stated, "we should have taken the orb with us."
"Crud," Casey growled.
-
"I'm gonna kill Casey," Raph growled sitting with his arms crossed.
Don sighed, controlling the helicopter while his brothers and father stressed about what happened, "Guys, I'm just as upset as you are."
"Krystal is so going to get it from Leo," Mikey pointed at Leo, who was sitting there seething.
Mike's shell cell rang, "Hello?"
"DON'T GO AFTER US YOU IDIOTS!" Micco's voice rang.
"Not so loud Micco!" he cried.
"Micco," Leo snatched the shell cell from Mikey, "Micco you better explain."
"Don't follow us, if Xiaoli gets one hint that you guys know, it could be your heads," Micco stressed on the other end, "we don't want to lose you."
"We don't care…we aren't…"
"LEONARDO! YOU BETTER STOP BEING OVER PROTECTIVE AND LISTEN!" Krystal's voice shouted.
"Krystal, I don't want to…"
"Trust us, we'll be fine," she whispered.
"Okay," he lied.
"Bye," Krystal whispered.
-
April fell out of her seat the moment the train stopped.
"I think I left my stomach all the way back there," Kat groaned.
"Kat," Krystal rolled her eyes.
"Let's go," Micco stated, as the door slid open. Casey helped April up, and everyone exited the car. They realized they were at an abandoned part of the airport, and that the car had actually gone off the tracks.
"Welcome to your deaths," Xiaoli's voice cackled. The looked abruptly to see Xiaoli standing there, surrounded by Foot soldiers; her robes had changed from black and blood red, to blood red.
"Is there a reason why she's wearing (gulp) that," Kat whispered to Krystal.
"I don't know," Krystal whispered.
Before they could say another word, "ATTACK!" The Foot soldiers charged.
"Okay, should we run or fight?" Kat asked.
Micco stood there; she had never seen so many Foot soldiers in her life. Her eye began to twitch, "RUN YOU MORONS RUN!"
"I want…" April grabbed Casey's arm and dragged him as she ran. The group of five ran until the reached a dead end.
"What should we do, there are too many of them to fight!" Krystal cried.
"Wait a second," Kat looked at Casey, "Casey, you control electricity…so you can tell what a system is right?"
"Uh…" Casey blinked.
"Living things are in a strange way, a system, so Casey can see if they are alive," Kat stated.
"Why?"
"There are too many of them to be real," Kat rolled her eyes. Casey nodded, and concentrated on his power.
"They're not living…they're…" Casey sighed, "I wish Clay was here."
"Why?" Krystal asked.
"Those dudes are made out of earth," Casey stated.
Krystal smirked, "I'm glad that Kimiko gave me those tips…leave them up to me."
"What?" Micco blinked.
Krystal's hands became surrounded by fire, and she attacked. She threw two moving commit like fire balls, that went through the thousands of earth Foot soldiers, and the ice hearts inside of them melted and they fell on the ground, shattered into pieces.
"I'm very impressed," Xiaoli smirked, "You'll be a most powerful ally when I darken your heart."
She suddenly started to change form, her skin turned to an brick red color, bat like wings ripped her robes, her hair became frizzed, her eyes became golden and cat like, her teeth became fangs, talons took place of her finger nails, her feet became like dog's hind legs, her slippers were ripped off her feet as her toenails turned into talons, her ears became pointed, and she grew a pair of horns.
"Now you can face my true form," her voice became demonic, and her eyes flashed, her black lips showing a pair of pearly white canines.
Kat paled, her body became cold, but a look of determination appeared on her features. Krystal glanced at Kat worriedly.
"I'll show you power," Kat growled.
Micco, Krystal, and April watched in silence as Kat threw a powerful ice attack towards Xiaoli. Casey let out a surprised gasp.
Xiaoli flew backwards a few feet, and laughed, "I am most pleased."
Kat gritted her teeth.
The sound of rockets being fired was heard, and rockets hit Xiaoli from the side. After a huge explosion, Xiaoli appeared unharmed. Xiaoli turned, and glared at the helicopter.
"You pathetic fools…you were willing to threaten the lives of the ones you care about," Xiaoli smirked, "You are…"
"WE DIDN'T TELL THEM!" Micco cried, "THEY FOUND OUT ON THEIR OWN!"
Xiaoli growled, attempting to destroy the helicopter, only to have it sway out of the way of her attack. She let out a growl as it landed.
"Prepare to be chewed out," April stated.
"Guys, shield your eyes," Micco stated, noticing Mikey leaning out of the copter with an object in his hand. Mikey threw it, and it sent out a blinding light that caused Xiaoli to cry out and shield her eyes.
Minutes later, the copter landed, and the guys jumped out running to the group.
"WHAT THE SHELL WERE YOU…"
Time suddenly stopped, only Kat, Krystal, Micco, April, and Casey remained unfrozen.
"WTF?" Casey cried.
"At least we made it here on time," An stated, "One more second then you'd be goners."
"Okay…" Krystal said.
"Okay, what we came here for, is to let you know…it is time," Lain said.
"Time to what?" Kat asked.
"To finally defeat Xiaoli," she whispered.
"How?" Micco asked.
Lain smiled, "You will transport all of it to your weapons, and then you hit Xiaoli head on...but"
"But what?" April asked.
"You will be out for three days, due to the loss of energy," Liang said.
"Good luck," An and Lain smiled, before the three disappeared.
"Okay…so…" Micco pulled out her Kusarigama and held the curved sharp end out, concentrating, and water began to hover around the blade. April did the same with her axe, vines bursting out and surrounding it. Kat's spear's tip turned into ice, Krystal's fans glowed fire. Casey's hockey stick (hello, you can't picture him with any other weapon) sparked electricity, even though it was an insulator.
Time began to speed up again, in a matter of seconds; a powerful blast came from the weapons, combining to make a beam of white light that went straight for Xiaoli's heart. Xiaoli fell back, screaming in agony, and then…silence.
Xiaoli's body became transparent, and she had the darkest look in her eyes, "I will return for my revenge, and don't doubt on it!"
She faded.
"Wow," as soon as that word escaped Mike's lips; April, Casey, Micco, Kat, and Krystal collapsed, their weapons falling a safe distance away.
"Oh crud," Raph stated gruffly, as Don and Leo rushed to Kat and Krystal's sides and checked their pulses, and were about to move to the others before Splinter interrupted.
"They are all alive my sons," he nodded, "they will just be out for three days from using all their energy."
"THREE DAYS!" Leo cried.
PLEASE R&R!
