"They must've to watch us from here!" That was Leo who spoke.
The Heroes of Half Shell are on their usual night patrol only to investigate the black pajama group who attacked them the other night.
They are in the rooftop as before to find out about them and how they found them without sensing them, for one thing, they are sure of is that they are very skilled and trained their martial arts very seriously. Perhaps the large armored man who brutally beat them must be their Master.
Whoever he is and why they attacked them will find out soon enough, as if now they need to further investigate.
"The perfect place to stage an ambush." He chatted with Donnie to help him with figuring out the situation since he's the brain of the four.
"It wasn't pretty fair, though," Donnie replied and Leo retaliates.
"This isn't about fairness, it's about victory." Remembering what Master Splinter had said, "seek victory, not fairness". Donnie saw this as he holds his two hands up to calm him down.
"Okay, I'm sorry. Geez, moody much?" he sassed while Leo narrowed his eyes in deadpan look.
Leo returns back to investigate some more, while Donnie should do the same but he can't when his eyes turn to stare at those two quiet turtles who haven't spoken a word to each other since their argument broke out.
Mikey is sitting on the edge of the rooftop with her shell back at them; never want to look at them, especially to one certain meathead. Raphael is nowhere any better than hers; he was way, way, like way, way too angry to even look at her, but Donnie the smart Turtle knows for 100% sure that Raph is more than mad, he is really sad and upset that he hurt his own Sister not once but twice, he tries to talk to her but she keeps giving him the cold shoulder, and he isn't alone even him and Leo are not having much luck in talking with her always giving them the cold shoulder as well.
He feels hurt by her gesture, but can you really blame him and his brothers for being protective for their baby sister, she is the youngest of the four, the most innocent and pure, her role as the heart of the family has been placed since the beginning, for her smile alone can bright even the darkest of nights and melt the coldest of hearts. She is joy and happiness, and to see her upset has turned from sunny to rainy.
He needs to do something about this before it gets too major.
He clears his throat very loud for Leo to hear him; the fearless turtle look up at Donnie in question and finds him glancing now and then between him and to Raph and Mikey, but mostly Mikey.
He got the message, this feud needs to be stopped right now, Leonardo first thought is to approach his young brother Raphael before Michelangela. Raphael can be hard, stubborn, and thick-headed most times but inside he is a big softie when it comes to his baby Sister…and his pet Spike.
He may be his fault for not choosing the right words, but his brother is not so good with words; he just hopes his hotheaded brother is in a listening mood.
He stood beside Raphael without a word or anything and Raphael didn't react when Leo approached him, but he did frown just slightly since he knows what he is going to do he is getting one of his stupid, boring, annoying lecture of his.
After a minute of silence, Leonardo talks to him calmly.
"So, you decided to stay silent and brood all through the night without uttering a single word to Mikey." Leave it to Leo to go straight to point.
"That's the idea," Raph replied dryly.
"You know, you guys need to talk about it."
"Well, as you can see, Leo I don't feel like talking and Mikey doesn't feel like listening." He said in matter-of-factually.
Leo didn't roll his eyes or sigh but continue to urge him to talk to her, and this time he used a softer tune.
"You know, she won't stay mad at you forever." It sparked him a little hope when he saw Raph peep at his sister as he proceeds.
"But you two need to talk about, we all need to talk to her, and help her understand we are doing this is for her own good. I'm sure she'll understand." He said confidently.
"Ugh! Leo, she used to listen to us at everything when she was seven! Now she's fifteen and more stubborn than a radioactive mule! She'll stick to it no matter what we tell her."
"Even though we have to talk to her eventually and this is perfect moment to…talk…to…her." Raph looks at Leo weirdly, why is he talking like that? And why his face looks like it's frozen or something?
He looks at Donnie and he too looked kinda paralyzed and looking at the same direction as Leo, curious he turns to see what got into them? They are nothing to stare at just an empty space…wait a minute, wasn't Mikey used to sit there just a few minutes ago?...that when a big red alert ringing in his skull indicating that Mikey isn't here anymore. She's gone!?
"..WHAT THE!?" Leo is the first who broke out of the silence and swiftly turn around to face Donnie.
"Donnie you were supposed to keep a close eye on her!?" Leo is sounding his voice of panic to Donnie and not to mention a little frustrated with how did Donnie lose sight of her!?
Donnie snapped out of it and starts to speak out of self-defense.
"I did, I did but…I only looked away for one second, ONE SECOND and then the next happen she was gone!" Donnie feels really terrible about this, how could he let himself to be so careless.
Way over-protective, don't you guys think? Mikey is a well-trained Ninja for her agility and fast reflexes but no matter what she is still their baby sister.
"Well, where is she? Why would she leave without telling us…again!?" Leo raises his arms in frustration at Donnie and not knowing where she has gone to?
…
…
…!? Oh no!
"You…dodon't think she went…" Leo doesn't wanna say his name because of he for sure that his guess is correct, but Donnie has a bad habit of not keeping his mouth shut.
"She went to Chris's Dojo!?" a horrible realization hit him like you have been knocked out by a ton of bricks.
Then they hear a growl, a growl so fierce and so angry like it's coming from a very vicious animal and it's very close to them and they know who. They turn to see Raphael standing with his fists tight and big thick red angry mark on his head, and then he just exploded.
"THAT IS IT! I'M GONNA KILL HER! WHEN I FIND HER I'M SO GONNA KILL HER SO I WON'T HAVE TO FREAKING WORRY OF EVERY DAMN SECOND!" then he's off like a rocket to go after her with an angry snarl.
Back at the rooftop Leonardo and Donatello could only watch before they sigh in both annoyance and tiredness.
"Well, that didn't go well," Leo exclaimed and sighs and Donnie just facepalmed.
Inside of a very famous Dojo, we can see Chris is doing training by punching the punching bag without listening to his body protesting to stop or bothering to wipe his sweat forming from head to toe.
He just wants to get out of his system, getting his frustration and utmost disgust at the punching bag as he imagined that punching bag is the repulsive reptile girl name Michelangela.
Since the day he befriended that reptile she had never left his side for a minute, always asking him question about his Ninja skills, worshiping him like a super idol, and let's not forget one thing that made him shudder in disgust that he wants to puke, that…creature is indeed without a doubt that she has a deep crush on him.
Just the thought made his skin crawl.
He met a ton of fangirls ever since he starts his career as martial art superstar so he can recruit strong men to build his Master's army, he had to withstand to that clingy octopus they call fangirls for the sake of his Master. It was no problem at all…it was until that thing showed up in all green and scales.
He never would've imagined himself to be in this situation, to have a Mutant Turtle girl as a new fangirl…really, it never crosses his mind that this could happen not even in his wildest nightmares.
'Ugh! I can't believe I'm thinking this…but I think I prefer those clingy octopuses than hanging another second with that freak.' But this is for the sake of his mission and for his Master; he must endure it so he can gain valuable information like for example the Turtle's Master's whereabouts.
And once he contains this information not only will it restores his Master's honor, but it'll give him a great pleasure to destroy that insufferable girl freak in cold blood…he can hardly wait.
(Sadistic guy, isn't he?)
"Hey, Chris!" Speak of the freak, there she is.
"Michelangela, Mikey, the big M! How ya doin'? I didn't think you would show up tonight?" he acted right and she fell for it.
"Yeah, sorry I crush you in like this it just…if it's okay can I hang with you for a while?" she can't tell him about stupid brother trouble, she is sure that he doesn't want to be involved in this.
"Of course!" perfect, now he will use this chance to get valuable information.
"Thanks," she is relieved to let her stay in, now she can relax.
"So Mikey, I was thinking that since we've become such close friends that I…"
"Wait!? You think…we're really close friends?" she looks at him with star sparkle in her eyes for not believing what he just said and it made her heart melt like ice, and it causes Chris to feel uncomfortable.
"Uh…of course!" he quickly answered.
"Wow, it's so AWESOME!" she never felt so happy in all her life. Chris Bradford the superstar and her crush is totally like her so much that they are now close friends, she feels complete.
"Yes, awesome…but," she looks at him confused when she heard him say the 'but' word.
"You know so much about me yet I know so little about you…so why not start talking about you?" he smiles so perfectly that there is no way that Mikey can turn down his offer. This is just too easy.
"I don't know, what should I start?" Mikey ponder.
"How about you tell me your impressive Ninjutsu skills, you must have an incredible Sensei!"
"Oh! He is the best!" that no lie, her Sensei is like the bestest Ninja Master in the whole wide world.
"Why not tell me all about him?" this is way too easy that he wanted to laugh, how gullible can she be?
"Oh! Well, I can't!" that refusal is like getting a slap on the face hard.
"But!" Brad has almost shrieked in anger before he caught himself before any he damages his only chance to get his valuable information, he needs to remain calm or else his cover will be blown.
"I mean why? I thought we were a close friend and close friend shouldn't keep secret, right?" he tries to sweet talk her to fess up about everything, Mikey reacts hastily by saying.
"We are close friend Brad, it just you know Ninja must keep secret, must be secretive, and all the secret stuff you know how it goes?" she explained to him not realizing that she made Brad seething from inside.
'So much for being gullible, she is cautious and smarter than she looks!'
"Hey! I think I know what's going on here?" Mikey suddenly spoke and it causes Brad to tense in silent shock.
Has she figured it out his plan? Was the obvious? Has she looked right through him? No, he was careful still he remains his calm façade and relaxes his body.
"What do you mean, Mikey?" his kept his tune calm as well as he puts his arms behind his back casually and calmly, but what he did is pull his hidden Kunai from his secret pocket from his pants and prepare himself to attack. He narrowed his eyes alarmingly without letting himself to break his contact; Maddie narrowed her eyes back at Brad and her body tensed as she replied.
"I have everything figured it out."
"Really?" Brad clenches his Kunai ready to stab where her heart is as he waits for her answer.
"Yeah…you want…me to give you pointers from my awesome skills, right?" her serious façade deflated into a face-splitting grin for she had figured it out.
Brad wasn't entirely prepared for this, he had thought that she figured out who he was but instead, he got smacked right on his face by…that.
"Uh, I beg your pardon?"
"You know you ask me about my skills, then my Sensei, then I told you no it's a secret, and then it fit together like cheddar on pepperoni, jelly beans, and anchovy pizza! You are superstar Martial Artist and you are like interested on the cool moves that you want me to teach you for your next upcoming fight, am I right?" she looks up to the man of her dream as she waits for his answer that she was right.
'Nope, I was wrong she is way too gullible.' He shakes his head and places a smile.
"Wow, nothing can get past you and that's why you're the Big M!" he winked at her for being so proud of her.
She can't help but to squeal and jump to give him her bone-crushing hug which made the poor villain awkward, but Mikey felt better now and coming here was a good idea away from her brothers.
Now she is thinking about them she wonders if leaving them behind was a good idea, for all she knew they could be tearing NYC apart to find her.
She rolled her eyes of their over-protectiveness, she is a Kunoichi for shell's sake she beat like hundreds of Kraang, she has awesome Hot Nunchaku Fury, and she can handle herself just fine.
She separates her hug from Chris and look up to her hero and said.
"Say, are you hungry? Cause I could go for a pizza…do you eat pizza?" she warily asked if he likes to eat this kind of food or he's one of those rich fancy men who only eat healthy minor things they call food.
"Uh, yeah sure!" he got worried and confused when she suddenly squeals 'oh my god' like she had discovered the most amazing thing.
"Wow! We have so much in common." She said as she sighs and Chris is very, very much afraid now.
During their little friendship bonding, they were heedless to sense they were being watched by three pairs of eyes of mutant turtles.
They've found Chris's big dojo without difficulties, I mean it's a big building with big highlighted letters no one can't miss it. They've watched but they didn't sneak in to get their sister like they were supposed to do, instead, they watched the whole thing through the window with astonishment.
They've seen how this superstar is interacting so friendly with their baby mutant sister like it's the most normal thing in the world, it's what the word they're looking for…bizarre.
"…Shouldn't we 'um' bust in or…something?" Donnie is first broke the silence and glancing at Leonardo to say something.
"Well by the look of things she seems to be doing…okay, in point of fact she's having a good time with Chris." Leo examined with stunned eyes.
Raphael who stood quietly for most of the time…for the first time, he doesn't know why he stayed quiet like this or why he didn't charge in like he normally does and busts his head in? But he feels paralyzed by distraught from what Mikey has done leaving them with worry, angry that she doesn't listen to reason, and worst of all…that she is…right…when he saw it all.
Should he feel glad? Should he feel disappointed instead? He's having a mixed feeling that he can't know what to feel, but he is sure as hell that he can't stay in the same place where he needs to get out of here.
"Let's just go home she's doing just fine with her new boyfriend! And if she loves him so damn much she can go marry him for all I care!" he seethed that word venomously.
Leo and Donnie didn't give them much time to protest because Raph has already left the building without another word, they can tell he is far from upset.
It would seem that things have gone colder than they've wanted it, they've never seen their argument that Mikey and Raph made that lasted this long. They don't usually fight a lot except minimum things and they always forgive each other at the end within minutes, but not this time and it's all because of one human who tore them apart.
Chapter3 ended! Whew, it gave me a major Author's Block here like my brain has gone numb but thank God it's done, and I hope you guys will like it and stay tuned for the upcoming chapter of First Crush, Old Enemy.
