"You've searched everywhere?"
"Yes Master Hun, everywhere in this city. We can't find that tin can anywhere." One of Hun's Dragon's said with a shrug. Hun back handed the young man across the face as he stumbled back.
"Watch your mouth. That tin can is more powerful than you're worthless existences would ever dream to be." The young Dragon pressed his hand to his face with a shaky nod as Hun lifted his hand again. The boy flinched as a smile came across Hun's face. "Good. Now, get the hell out of my sight."
"This is awesome." Mikey said as he walked the lit City streets with Fiona. They held hands as she put her head on his shoulder.
"I'm just glad I get to share it with you." She smiled looking up at him.
"Me too babe."
"We're gonna take another route home." Jacqueline said as she held onto Raphael's hand about to turn down an alleyway.
"Wait, come on. We can all go the same way." Jade said turning around Leonardo's firm grip never adjusting on her hand.
"We're just taking the scenic way. Calm down." Raph said waving his hand.
"Raph, you don't…" Leo started as Raph opened a leather jacket Casey lent to him showing his sais in the pockets.
"Believe me, we'll be fine." Leo sighed and looked over at Jade who had a still worried look on her face. Leo nodded his head as Jac smiled pulling Raph with her down the alleyway.
"No later than two!" Jade called after her sister. She sighed and looked over at Leo as the cold wind blew through the streets. "Something doesn't seem right." She said walking ahead.
"What?"
"I don't know. Just, probably nothing but my big sister radar going off. She'll be fine. Raph will keep her safe." Leo nodded his head.
"Raph is a lot of things, but he's able to keep people safe." He smiled putting an arm around Jade. She smirked holding his hand with hers.
"That didn't take long." A Purple Dragon smiled towards another atop the roofs that the eight walked along. "Spilt up. You three, take flames. We'll handle the rest." They all nodded their heads as they ran off to follow their pray.
Jade stopped as Leo looked at back at her confused.
"What is it?" He asked moving closer to her. She held up a hand and he stopped.
"We're being followed." Leo's brow furrowed as he looked up to the sky. He shook his head looking around as he noticed their younger siblings were gone in front of them.
"Mikey!? Donnie?!" He called his fastening pace of walking turning into a run as the panic started to rise within him. Jade cleared her mind and searched her sister's thoughts. They were close, their in sync worried thoughts echoed in Jade's as she kept up with Leo.
"Down here!" She said taking off through an alleyway off the street they walked down. She turned a corner as Leo slide next to her seeing three Purple Dragons corner Mikey and Donnie, as they moved backwards closing in slowly on a brick wall as they kept the girls between it and them. It wasn't hard at all, only three. Mikey and Donnie have handled more than that by themselves before.
Jade growled to the sight, picking up the threatening Dragons and tossing them behind her and Leo. Their bodies slamming against a metal dumpster leaving their imprint. She ran over to the twins, Mikey and Donnie with a warming hug.
"You guys alright?"
"Yeah…" Mikey sighed as Donnie and the twins nodded their heads.
Leo took a stance towards the Dragons and their metal pipes and chains. He didn't have his katanas but, that didn't matter. These guys were usually clumsy when it came to hands on combat and hid behind their blunt weapons.
One ran towards him as he grabbed the chain that was whipped at him in his hand as it wrapped around his wrist. He pulled the Dragon that grasped it tightly into his body kneeing him in the face. He fell to the ground as another attacked. Leo smirked, jumping in the air with a twist as he kicked the pipe out of the Dragon's hand. It landed on the pavement with a harsh sound as it leaped into Jade's hand. She smiled next to Leo as the last Dragon went to attack Jade. Leo stepped in front of her holding out his arm, close lining the thug before he could get to her. She kneeled down beside him, lifting the pipe up and slamming it down next to the Dragon's head. He winced to the sound looking up at her glaring eyes.
"Who sent you?" She growled as Leo stood behind her.
"Hun…" He said in pained words.
"Why?"
"He's not finished with you yet June." He smirked. She glared at him as she smacked the metal piping against his face. She threw it aside getting to her feet. She felt her head throb again as Jacqueline's face ran through her thoughts.
"Jac…" She said softly taking off down the alleyway. Leo looked over at Mikey before all three followed after her.
As Jacqueline walked the streets holding tightly to Raphael's newly formed five fingered hand she felt something ripple through her senses that brought a shiver up her spin. She closed her eyes as Raphael stopped looking at her with a concerned face.
"What are you doin?" He asked tugging on her arm slightly to knock her out of it. She refused opening her eyes slowly as she saw shadows move ahead of them in the darkness of their alleyway. Raphael narrowed his eyes at the space ahead of them, moving Jacqueline behind him as he took his sais from their hold in his pocket.
Jacqueline refused to be pushed aside as she stood next to Raphael. Her sister rang through her thoughts as she could feel the pounding of her foots steps coming up behind them any minuet now.
She didn't have use for her powers since the incident with Saki and that horrible room he kept her in. It was all coming back to her now, the feeling of rage that rang through her body as that cold water poured over her skin. The annoying pitiful chatter her teeth made as her body trembled with fear and being the verge of hypothermia. She wanted out, she wanted to see her sisters again, she wanted to hold them be near them, she wanted to see Raphael again. Those things running through her mind she truly thought she'd never touch or feel or get to love again.
She was never aware that all that anger and rage made her connection stronger with her sisters. She closed her eyes and could feel their hearts beating as one to the pound of their feet on the pavement. She smirked to herself as she saw another shadow stir before them. Poor, poor stupid Dragons. They're not even aware of what their getting themselves into.
She lit a ball aflame in her hand, controlling it slowly down the alleyway as she smile, moving away from Raphael. He protested, grabbing her arm as she kept moving. She was strong, stronger than he remember and let go as he started to move with her, losing his balance.
"Come out come out where ever you are…" She said in a sing song voice looking down the alleyways. Suddenly she felt them move beside her and she flipped backwards landing gracefully on her feet in a stance as three Dragons came into view. Raphael moved close beside her, showing his sais against his wrists, moving into a stance. "How's it goin' boys?" She asked as a smirked played on her lips.
Jade slide on the smooth pavement past Raphael and next to her sister as the flame in Jacqueline's hand burned bright and true in the dark alleyway. Lexine and Fiona weren't far behind. Lexine kicked in her powers, running up the side of a building and flipped off it to land in a beautiful motion beside Jade. Fiona smirked, disappearing from Michelangelo's side as she reappeared next to her Jacqueline, taking a stance.
"Four against three. Really not too smart for Dragons?" Jade smirked as Jacqueline added a scoff.
Leonardo walked behind Jade slowly making himself and his brother's known to the Dragons as well.
"Make that eight against three." He said crossing his arms as the Dragons backed away slowly, their faces filled with fear.
"Aww, c'mon guys!" Jacqueline said as the Dragons dropped their weapons running off down an alleyway. "We wanted to play!" She called after them. She chuckled walking back over to the group, pounding her fist against Jade's.
"Thanks for the backup guys…But, really it…"
"I don't care if there was one of them and four of you. We'd be there in a heart beat no matter what." Leonardo said in his teaching tone as Jade raised an eyebrow. She rolled her eyes elbowing his stomach lightly.
"Sure, baby…whatever you say." She said appeasing him as she smiled over at Jacqueline.
"Yeah maybe next time when we're in such an awful predicament we'll actually see some action and you guys won't scare em' off." Jac said as she started to laugh with her sister. Raphael and Leoarndo rolled their eyes to the laughter their girlfriends made through the alleyways.
"I thought it was very noble of you." Lexine said as she put her arm around Donatello with a smile. He smiled back, taking her hand.
"Thank you."
"Yeah, I love that whole damsel in distress act." Fiona added as she jumped on Mikey's back for a piggyback. He smiled hosting her body on his more as she held her grasp around his chest.
"Anytime babe." She smiled as she leaned in and kissed the side of his neck softly.
"What a wonderful sight, freaks living in harmony."
"Master, we can't defeat her…She's too..."
"Fool! You will not undermine my authority again! Those Dragons made a mockery of my business and it is you that will end this, now! The Foot Ninja are able to do more than bring down a couple of freaks and these girls! And if they are not, then…You will find yourselves in a horrible predicament in days to come. Now, bring them do me by sunrise. If you are to come back empty handed I'll have Hun and his Dragons deal with your pitiful excuse for an existence."
"Yes Master." A Foot Ninja nodded as he disappeared into the night on the roof tops of the City.
"Savor your victory little ones. For by this time tomorrow you will be mine."
