All she could remember was the horrid sound. The sound of the sirens and alarms running throughout the ship. She had to think quickly before someone would find her. She barely made it out of her wrecked ship, frantically pressing buttons to shut down. She managed to put it into capsule form, and packed it away in her emergency duffel bag. Of all the times to happen, she thought. She huffed a bit as she tried to walk, wincing in pain. She looked down to find her side punctured with shrapnel. "Damn," she hissed. She held her side tightly as she trudged through the woods. Well, what she assumed was the woods.
She turned a corner only to find people in sight. She cursed under her breath as she used stealth to go unnoticed. She managed to stammer into a city (the sign she saw read 'Manhattan'). Blood trickled with each step she took, leaving a trail. She wore herself out walking for so long, eventually going into an alley. She looked around; there wasn't anywhere she could possibly hide. Her teeth clenched together. This wasn't where she was going to die. It couldn't be. She decided to make her way to the back of the alley, when she fell through a sewer hatch. Her bag tumbled next to her, and she clutched her side in agony. Pained tears rolled down her face, but she still managed to get up. "I can't stay here," she looked down the dark tunnels. She scrunched her nose at the smell, it was horrid. She stifled a gag in disgust. "I have to move quickly." Slowly bending to pick up her bag, she limped down the sewer tunnels.
Tonight was a usual night in the lair. The same musty odor, regular training; Master Splinter still meditating in his room. Leonardo sat in the kitchen with deep thought, and Donatello fiddled with some unfinished gadget. Michaelangelo had his eyes glued to a videogame, not paying attention to anything else but the screen. Raphael walked out of his room with a grunt, making his way over to the fridge. Leo looked his way, soon reverting back to his thinking. To this Raphael huffed, opening the fridge and chugging down some root beer. He took a hard swallow before putting it back in the fridge. He then walked past Leo and plopped down on the pizza box couch. "So what are the plans for tonight, 'leader'?" Raph asked. This made Leo come out of his haze and look at his brother with hesitation. "Just the usual; do our nightly patrol then come back. Not unless you had anything in mind." Raph put a hand on his chin, and then quickly shook his head. It was just a regular night in the lair.
It was then fairly silent-besides the hoots and yays from Mikey- throughout the lair. Raph, soon growing bored of watching Mikey play his game, stood up and headed for the doorway. "I'm going for a walk. Shout when you need me." Before he even set a foot through the exit, Donatello rushed in the living room, freaking out. Soon the alarms were following after, and the other three turtles stood on their feet. "My computer picked up signs of invasion;" Donnie fixed his glasses frantically, "someone's entered the lair." "Raph, Donnie, you're with me," Leo ordered, "Mikey, you stay here and protect Dad." Mikey nodded and ran off toward his father's meditation room. "Guys, I want you to find the intruder." Leo then looked at Raph, "No violence until I say so." Raph grunted but nodded. The three soon rushed out the lair, going through the tunnels to find what got in their sewer.
Each one split up, looking through the curves and tunnels of the sewers. Donnie couldn't find a thing in the West wing, and Leo was unsuccessful in the South wing.
Raphael walked down corridors, looking through each entrance way. Each time he came to no avail. He was starting to get annoyed. "If you're even in here then just come out already!" He growled. He took a few more steps before stopping in his tracks. A faint gasp could be heard in a tunnel to the left of him. A smile tugged at his lips as he slowly crept toward the tunnel. Finally, he thought. He was in the mood to beat up someone. With each step he took, he could hear the sound more clearly. There was soft hissing, gasping and, heavy breathing? Raph became puzzled and halted. 'Intruders don't breathe like that, 'he thought. He then heard a cough and looked inside the entrance way. To his surprise, an ebony skinned female, hair tousled and wearing a white bandage leotard sat slumped in the tunnel. Her eyes were glazed over, and she appeared to be holding her side. He saw a bag next to her, must be her belongings, he thought. Raph slowly walked over to the girl, not knowing her intentions. He came in closer, noticing purple liquid coming from where the girl's hands were rested. She was injured.
"Leo! Donnie! Ya might wanna see this!" He shouted down the halls. He stood there awkwardly for a few moments, unsure what to do. If he picked her up, she might notice him and scream. If he just left her there, she would surely die. Seconds passed and he growled in frustration. Surely his brothers might come up with a better answer than him. Donnie and Leo appeared, following their brother's voice down the tunnels. When they met up with him, Raph simply pointed to his discovery, leaving both turtles dumbfounded. "She looks like she's injured." Donnie inquired. "She hasn't even noticed me, so I think she's either dying or doesn't care." "Leo what do you think?" Donnie asked. Leo stroked his chin. He observed the now wheezing girl quickly, deducing any possible threat she could be considered as. "Well, she's not in any state to harm us," he concluded, "but we can't just leave her here to die." "Take her to the lair? No way. Donnie, get your first aid kit and fix her up here." Raph ordered. "And let her continue to wander the sewers until she finds us? No, we shall take her back, quickly heal her, then send her back to the surface."
Leo and Raph began to argue while Donnie tried to stop them, but then all halted when the girl passed out on her side. "Ah shit." Raph said. Donnie ran over to her and checked her pulse. "She's still alive," Donnie said relieved, "but we need to move quickly if we want her to live." With that Leo started off. Raph handed Donnie her bag and sent him off as well. Now all that was left to carry was her. He doesn't carry people to safety, judging by his enormous stature. He carefully bent down to pick her up, and in one quick sweep he had her in his arms bridal style. "Just hang in there, you got it? We don't need a dead body stinking up the lair." Raph whispered. He then ran off after his brothers.
All three rushed in, quickly passing by a now alert Splinter and Mikey, heading towards Donnie's lab. Donnie quickly put down her duffel bag and cleared a metal table, and Raphael slowly put her down. Her injury was more apparent; a piece of metal was jabbed into her side. "Donnie, try to fix her the best you can." Leo ordered. Donnie nodded and quickly went for a scalpule, bandages, and disinfectant. He then set them on the table, adjusts his glasses, and went to work. He was about to pour the disinfectant on her side, when he stopped. Leo walked over with concern "What is it?" Donnie again fixed his glasses, "Well, this is very, uh, strange." "What? What's strange?" Raph growled. "It seems that her injury is leaking some sort of purple substance. Judging by location of the arteries, I assume it's her blood." Leo looked puzzled. Purple blood? That surely isn't normal for a human to have. "It's not just that, look at her ears." Raph and Leo looked upon the girl's ears, which were elven shaped. "That is strange." Leo said. "I don't know what this female is, but I'll try my best to get that metal out of her."
Donnie then presumed his work. It took about an hour to finally remove the piece of metal without damaging her permanently. Donnie carefully bandaged her side and wrapped up the metal as well. Leo put a hand on his brother's shoulder, "Good work, Donnie." Donnie nodded in response, cleaning his utensils and hands in the sanitation area. "I shall study the piece of metal later," he said, "the texture and look is beyond anything I know. It qualifies for metal but doesn't match any of the characteristics of the metallic elements. We might have to question this stranger on to where and how she got that piece into her side." Raph stood up from his seat. Thirty minutes into the operation he was already done. He couldn't stand to see his brother slice open a girl for that long. He composed himself enough to walk over and join in on the conversation. "I feel as though we shall let her rest first, just enough until she can answer questions-"
"The hell we are." Raph interrupted, "We're gonna bring her back up to the surface and let her stay there. No mystery solving, nothing."
"But Raph she may not be from the surface. Look at her physical features, no ordinary human has that, male or female. The strange metal in her side, even her outfit is something straight out of a sci-fi movie." Donnie said. "The duffel bag has something in there and God knows what that is. Healed or not, I doubt this girl is from the surface at all."
Raph clenched his jaw and grunted. "I agree with Donnie. We should wait until she is conscious and then ask her questions." "Fine." Raph huffed.
They turned to leave the lab, however soon stopping when they saw the suprising. The girl was fully awake and standing in the middle of the floor while holding some type of gun; her duffel bag had been open and she yelled in an unknown language toward the turtles. Leo looked shocked; she was knocked out on the table a few minutes ago. Raph only growled and started to crack his knuckles. He guessed he was right about the possible threat. Leo looked toward Donnie, "Don what is she saying?" Donnie shook nervously, "I have no idea, the language she's speaking doesn't direct toward any of my translations." Leo then looked at Raph who had a grisly smile on his face. He made a hand signal gesturing to knock it off and Raph groaned in reply.
Their attention turned back to the girl, who's yelling got even louder and her eyes started to change. They went from her already odd forest green-hazel-ish eyes to a startling lime green, the pupil resembling a snake's. Leo cautiously stepped forward, talking slowly hoping that this girl could understand. "We are not going to hurt you," he said, "We are not a threat. Please disarm your weapon." The girl only showed her teeth, which both her canines were amazingly sharp fangs, and shouted more. 'She's still in her stance, but she's not apt to fire her weapon,' Leo deduced. He then repeated his statement, which again came to no avail as she still had her hand firmly on the trigger. Just then Michelangelo came through the door. "Hey guys what's with all the noise in he-"now her weapon was pointed at him. She began to yell in the unknown language, leaving Mikey confused.
"Uh…"
"Mikey. Don't. Move." The other three said in unison. Mikey shifted his eyes between his brothers and the girl, who was now waving her gun around and yelling at him. He then raised his hands up slowly and smiled brightly at the girl. "Hey sweet thing," Mikey said, "Even though I don't know what you're saying, I'm still gonna tell you a pretty thing like yourself shouldn't go around and point guns at people." The girl tilted her head to the side, giving him a look of utter confusion.
Leo pinched the bridge of his nose and Donnie fixed his glasses with a deep sigh, leaving Raph to gape at his idiotic younger brother. Seeing that whatever he was doing was working, Mikey then causally strolled over to the girl. "Yeah there you go, put it down. Good girls aren't supposed to be threatening, they're supposed to be pretty and hot," He scoped her up and down, "And you're doing just that." "Mikey you cannot be fucking serious-"
Raph was interrupted by Master Splinter entering the room. All four turtles tensed up at their father walking toward the threat, stopping directly in her face. The girl only looked at him without blinking, scanning over him like she was trying to find something. She then gasped and started speaking fluent Japanese at an alarming rate. Splinter responded as well, and Donnie had to chime his brothers in on their conversation. Splinter then turned to the turtles, who stood there with their mouths open.
"Well that that's all settled," Splinter said, "boys, please do show our new guest hospitality."
