Donnie and Leo quickly arrived to the lair. Upon arriving, Donnie quickly grabbed a chair and some rope while Leo quickly ran to wake both Mikey and Raph. When Leo came back, He helped Donnie take out the warrior's weapons and equipment with caution. Later they slowly undressed her from her entire attire and cowl, leaving her in her black undergarments.
They were surprised to see an African American female. She looked remarkably young and had a large Mohawk with a ponytail on the side. She was pierced around her ears, bottom lip and right eyebrow. She also had separate tattoos around her body, but was not considered as inked. Finally, she was extremely thin, but had a very lean build. Leo and Donnie set and tied her arms behind the chair. Donnie immediately inked the female's hand and feet for prints. He finished scanning the prints as Raph and Mikey walked in the lab.
"Man, this better be important. You all know that I have to take care of…" Mikey yawned before seeing the half-naked woman. Raph was surprised at how efficiently the two captured the possible suspect, but was angered by how the two broke Splinter's rules.
"In what time do you live that's it right to immediately bring in a random person, strip them, tie them and then interrogate them!? DO you all know of Splinter's rule in bringing humans to the lair?" Raph yelled at Donnie and Leo. Leo was silently motioning Raph to shut up as Donnie got a syringe to get a blood sample from the unknown female.
The female suddenly came to, startling Donnie and everyone. She looked around slowly, as if observing the environment around her. Afterwards, she started to rapidly shake her head a lot, probably still suffering from a concussion or whiplash.
"The sewers?" She muttered after sniffing the air. The four brothers remained completely silent and still as the female was in a trance. All of the sudden, a scowl formed on her face.
"Wait, why am I…? The girl looked down and noticed she was undressed. She started to struggle a bit until she saw she was tied on a chair. She let out an angry sigh and muttered "Lot." in a rather strange accent. Raph, Donnie's and Leo's eyes widen when they noticed Mikey slowly walking up to the girl.
"Hi. Would you like some pizza?" Mikey asked as the others face palmed at Mikey's question. The girl just looked at Mikey strangely.
"Pizza. The utmost…" Mikey continued to walk towards the girl. When he was mere inches from her and babbling about the greatness of pizza, the girl knocked him out with a head butt. Raph all the sudden walked in.
"Hi. I apologize for the inconvenience. He is the youngest who likes to mess around with things he should know nothing about." He awkwardly talked to the girl as he dragged a groaning Mikey away. The girl continued to have the same strange look given to Mikey earlier.
"Are Argonians really this stupid?" She muttered to herself as she continued observing for a way out. All of the sudden, Leo stepped out, looking somewhat furious. Donnie decided to leave the interrogation to Leo while he investigates the female's equipment and some of her collected DNA.
"You keep calling us that. Why?" Leo asked, sitting on a separate table with arms crossed. The girl gave a sneer towards Leo.
"It's what the lizard people are called in my world. Useless sons of bitches." The female responded and muttered at the same time. Leo walked closely to her, wary of what move she will pull off this time, and crouched next to her.
"Apparently, we are not like these "sons of bitches" you are talking about." Leo responded but still received the same nasty look from the female.
"You could be wearing those stupid looking shells, but that won't convince me that you aren't lizards." The girl bit back. All of the sudden, the two got into a staring game and didn't budge for a moment.
"What's the name of your world?" Leo asked breaking the silence. The girl still looked stoic, but Leo and Donnie will admit, her piercings gave her an almost intimidating look. After a few minutes, she replied boldly.
"I'm from the world known as Tamriel. Born in a country known as Hammerfell."
Leo looked even more confused.
"We have never heard of those places, but you are slowly intriguing me." Leo said as he stepped closely again to the girl, not minding if she was going to strike him. The girl looked at him, watching his slow movement around her until he placed a finger on her skin. She felt surprised by the warmth of it.
"You see. We once interrogated a human down here once. Midway through the interrogation, the man was a mess. Coughing, retching, sweating. We had to knock him out and take him out to the surface." He slowly walked around.
"So?" the girl replied, feeling extremely uncomfortable in which this is going. Leo made the other half of the turn and faced her.
"You have yet to react to similar side effects. You haven't even broken a sweat yet. It's like you're used to this tense environment." Leo chided as he sat down. "That is why you are interesting to me."
"Oh really? Nothing else?" the girl responded back in a sultry voice, getting a weird look from Leo.
All of the sudden, Donnie cleared his throat and motioned for Leo to come over.
"You really call that an interrogation?" Donnie scorned at Leo. But Leo just shrugged.
"Okay after some full tests. It was her sword and hand print that I found in that alley." Donnie said. "But the footprint doesn't match with hers. I'm telling you she probably came with someone else." Leo nodded while Donnie went up to the copies of the diamond with the circle in it.
"Now I want you to …" Donnie was about to say when Raph came out of nowhere and rudely snatched the copy from Donnie. "I got it from here." Raph said reassuringly.
Raph started to sit down on the table and looked upon the girl. This time, the girl started to speak first before Raph.
"My turn with the questions. Are the other four your brothers?" the girl asked. Raph raised an eyebrow, surprised by her quick intellect.
"Yes." Raph answered. "But we want to know you a bit more, like what is your name?" He stood up with arms crossed.
"Really is that how interrogations are now?" She started to laugh immediately. "In my world, they would beat one up to a pulp, or slowly cut them up until they speak. But questions first, action later? Just hilarious." The girl continued laughing as Raph turned around and cracked his knuckles.
"If you're going to enjoy this, then so must I." Raph said as the girl stopped laughing and popped her neck. The one thing that Raph was annoyed about was her smirk as he punched her in the face. The girl groaned and spitted some blood before turning to Raph with the same face.
"Still not satisfied?" Raph said as the girl just smiled/smirked again. Raph punched her twice until suddenly she raised her head really quick. Raph was about to punch her until.
"Come on baby, beat me until your knuckles bleed!" The girl taunted and started to laugh. On the next punch, the girl dodged it, placed her chin on Raph's wrist and popped it. Raph did a small shout of pain and started to grab and shake his hand. When he looked upon the girl, she was giving him a "What're you going to do now tough guy?" look. Donnie was fed up with how this interrogation was going and interrupted it.
"Raph, get out now and leave behind the paper." Donnie yelled the instruction. Raph walked away holding his wrist and shoved Donnie out of the way. "What a really tight knit family you guys are." The girl replied as blood started to ooze from her mouth. Donnie just got a chair and sat there in front of her, the two were in silence again.
"You know I kind of agree with my brother on how interesting you really are." Donnie said. The girl once again shot a nasty look towards him. Donnie got up and walked around his chair.
"I've been taking your temperature for the past few minutes and was amazed by how constant your temperature remained." Donnie remarked.
"Same thing the blue one said. So what?" The girl scoffed at him. Donnie just eyed at her keenly.
"Other things you intrigue me are your combat skills and equipment. Are you like a thief or assassin? because you're really opportunistic. For a while, I've been watching your escape attempts and the way how you injured my brothers. Pretty impressive." Donnie said as he sat back on his chair. The girl was just looking away from Donnie in the attempt to conceal her embarrassment.
"Oh and your weapons. Swords, knives and arrows made out of obsidian. What is your secret, because no one in this world can do such a feat. Also, your attire. Is it like some kind of stealth suit or something?" Donnie asked. The girl just remained silent until she said.
"My weapons are made out of ebony. Sometimes its considered as black steel to my people. I've never heard of this "obsidian"." She replied.
All of the sudden, Donnie got an idea and reached behind him to pull out a recorder. The girl just looked at it strangely when Donnie placed it on a table and moved it closer to her.
"Look if you're not comfortable telling anyone your story or personal matters, I've brought a solution. This recorder here will listen to anything you are telling it. But before I turn it on, I will ask you one last question." The girl just sighed and looked away.
"Donnie pulled out the copy of the diamond symbol with a circle in it. Upon laying her eyes on it, the girl's eyes widened and started to flail a bit. Donnie noticed this strange behavior and putted the picture away.
"What's the matter?" Donnie asked. But the girl was still breathing uneasily until.
"I can't believe he followed me. Now no one is safe." The girl muttered. Donnie looked at her strangely and got the recorder.
"Now I think its high time you tell your story." Donnie said as he pressed the record button.
(Meanwhile in Shredder's lair)
Shredder was also in the same state as his nemesis, Splinter or Hamato Yoshi. He is also grieving about the predicament that befell Karai. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't hear both Tiger Claw and Rahzaar approach him.
"Master Shredder." The two said, kneeling on the ground.
"You dare interrupt me?!" Shredder stood up and activated his bladed gauntlets.
"No, my master. We came here with news." Tiger Claw said. When he looked up Shredder was mere inches from them. His blades grazing their noses.
"Is it about Karai?" Shredder asked, a small bit of hope lighted up his dark heart.
"We wish, my master but it's someone we found who would like to join the ranks with us." Rahzaar said. Shredder looked at the two with burning hatred and then retracted the blades.
"Bring me this recruit." Shredder said as the two left quickly. Moments later, they bought a middle aged African American man whom had his wrists tied. He looked like a wanderer, but his large scimitar is telling otherwise. They forced him to kneel on both knees to Shredder as he gave this man a long look. Moments later, he dismissed Tiger Claw, Rahzaar and the Foot soldier whom escorted him. The man said nothing as Shredder approached him.
"What is your name?" Shredder asked as he activated his right bladed gauntlet, a gesture to the man that resistance is futile. The man looked up at him with fiery and bold eyes.
"My name is Nazir. Shredder." He said as he felt Shredder's blade's grazing his cheek.
"Well then Nazir, what is your profession?" Shredder asked as he retracted the blades back. Nazir gave him a haughty smile and replied.
"Former mercenary and assassin of the Dark Brotherhood." He said boldly. Shredder again slowly walked to him.
"What is the Dark Brotherhood?" Shredder asked.
"We were a group of assassins ranging far and wide with different techniques. We were the most fearsome faction until we were betrayed by our most heralded member, the Listener." Nazir said in an angry tone.
"And I guarantee you are the only whom survived this Listener's wrath? Is that why you plan on joining me to fulfill some vengeance quest?" Shredder asked as he sat on his throne. Nazir just nodded.
"But that's not all. I saw her become allies with your worst enemies, the Turtles." At that word, Shredder immediately got up. "How are you certain?" Shredder asked.
"Earlier today I saw her training with them and then they took her away to the sewers." Nazir said. Even though Shredder had his helmet and mask on, he was smiling at how attentive this Nazir was, a trait more admirable than the ones his henchmen have.
"Get up." Shredder ordered which Nazir willingly obliged. "Now stretch out your arms out." Nazir did as he was told and Shredder immediately cut the bindings on Nazir's wrests. Shredder turned around and headed up to his throne while Nazir rubbed the soreness off his wrists.
"You said you were an assassin and mercenary, so." Shredder said as he pressed a button that bought in four Foot soldiers. They surrounded Nazir and pulled out all their weapons. Nazir responded by coolly unsheathing his scimitar.
"Impress me now." Shredder ordered as the Foot soldiers and Nazir charged at each other.
