Chapter 9: Revenge
Master Splinter was wiping Sam's tears away with his furry hand. She was truly in pain. Sam had not only lost a lover but a best friend. She still wasn't completely over it and to add to that she had lost her parents only a month before. He was holding her closely to his chest rubbing her back. He began to sing her a song to calm her down.
"Tonbo, yuuyake noyouni akaku toshite , modotte watashi ga wakaka ttatoki, yuugure no sora ni , kanojo no senaka ni watashi hasokoni nori tai, nichi ga okonawa retatoki."
Sam began to relax listening to one of her favorite lullabies. She softly sang along with him.
"Gekka jun no yama no fi^rudo , mukashi ni omoe ru, wareware ha atsumaru darou kuwa no ki to takaramono. Soredakedetadano yume deshitaka?
Sam began to feel her tears fade away. The more she sang.
"Choudo juugo , kanojo haaru nichi satte ikimashita, imouto ga ushinawa retayouni , watashi ha itoshi , kanojo wo nogashi ta, tegami ga kuru youni mie takotohaarimasen."
Master Splinter hugged her tighter into his lap and he sang the last verse with her.
"Tonbo , yuuyake noyouni akaku toshite , modotte watashi ga wakaka ttatoki, ima watashi no meni , watashi ha tonbo wo mita toki, namida haitsumo kuru noha kakujitsu da."
Master Splinter let Sam go. She then kneeled in front of him and said.
"Sensei, for me to be able to continue my training I must tell you why I quit in the first place. But promise me you won't tell anyone."
Master Splinter smiled at her. "You have my word."
Sam looked down into her lap unsure what to say. "It was a week after the Wolves had kidnapped Sydney." She finally said.
Sam was jumping from roof top to roof top. She had to clear her head. The darkness was becoming too much for her. Her dad had forbid her from training at night. So she did what any kunoichi in her position would do, locked herself in her bedroom, pulled on her shinobi shozoko and slipped out the window.
Sam wasn't looking for a fight; she just wanted to run as far away from the darkness as she could. She had been slipping deeper into her depression. Two months after she had lost Ben, Sydney had gotten kidnapped. She was worried that might happen again to anyone important to her that's why she continued to train day and night even though her body told her not to. She had to protect them it was her job.
"HELP! HELP!"
Sam heard someone scream. She peered down from the rooftop and sure enough there it was. A woman was cornered by some thugs, but they weren't just your plain old run of the mill thugs, they were Wolves. The Wolves had a pregnant woman crying in fear.
"Please don't hurt me." She told them as tears streamed down her face.
One of the Wolves laughed. His eyes were very sinister. "We're not gonna hurt you. Much."
The woman had attempted to free herself from the Wolves, but they grabbed her and threw her to the ground. She then shielded her very large baby bumb. The Wolves got ready to beat her with crowbars, rusty pipes, baseball bats, and any other blunt objects.
Sam felt her blood boil. The Wolves were about to murder an innocent woman, just like they had murdered her innocent boyfriend. Sam felt her anger take over. She wanted revenge. Her knuckles whitened as she clenched her fist. She flicked her Tekken onto her knuckles, and then dropped down to the unsuspecting Wolves below.
The Wolves were bringing their weapons above their heads ready to beat the woman. They brought their weapons down and Sam grabbed them all.
"Who the fuck are you?" One of the Wolves growled at her.
Sam's eyes grew very menacing. "I'm your worst nightmare." She hissed.
She pushed the Wolves away from the pregnant woman who she then told to run. The woman did as Sam told her to and ran for her dear life.
Sam then began to feel her rage building up inside her. She felt a very evil smirk come across her face. She was grabbed by one of the smallest Wolves who was still a good foot taller than her. He aimed for her gut with his crowbar which Sam had blocked and taken from him. She kicked him in the gut sending him into a brick wall knocking him unconscious. Another Wolf lunged at Sam and swung his bat at her head. She used the crowbar like a sword blocking it. Sam was having a power struggle with the man, then she dropped down and kicked the man's feet out from under him. He fell to the ground dropping the bat which Sam picked up and bashed the butt end into his forehead.
Sam looked in front of her she had knocked out two Wolves and she had two more to go. Another Wolf charged at her. She jumped over him and pushed him in to another brick wall. His body became limp and he fell to the ground. 'This is just too easy.' Sam thought to herself as she was sizing up her last opponent. The last man was the largest out of all the Wolves. He was almost seven feet tall and was as big as bear.
The man laughed."You think you can beat me little girl."
Sam laughed harshly "I know I will."
The bear sized man circled around her. Sam just stood completely still. The man charged at her from behind. She jumped up and kicked him into another wall. She then rushed over and picked the man up by the collar pinning him to the wall. She pulled out her kunai. Her eyes burned green with rage. She held the kunai to the man's throat.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't kill you." Sam said menacingly.
But the man wasn't the one who answered her it was a voice in Sam's head.
"Sunshine, you know you don't really want to kill that man. He's innocent."
Sam knew that voice it was Ben's she began to cry.
"No he's not!" She roared, pressing her kunai harder against the man's neck.
Then Ben's voice screamed in Sam's head. "YOU WILL NOT DAMN YOURSELF BECAUSE OF ME!"
Sam felt her head began to pound. Her knees buckled and the Man kicked her off of him and ran away from her but not before taking her kunai and stabbing her in the shoulder.
Sam held her head and screamed. She had to get out of that alley. She stripped herself out of her shinobi shozoko and put it in her backpack. Then she pulled out some regular close out of it and put them on. Her head continued to pound as she ran to her house. Eventually her body became weak. She fell to the ground. She was only halfway back to her house. She was too weak to get up. Her head was pounding; throbbing like her brain would surly burst through her skull. She grabbed her head and let out another good scream before she blacked out.
"I woke up in a hospital. After I went home my dad told me I wasn't allowed to train anymore. So he took my weapons and locked them in my truck with a combination lock. I figured it out two days later took out my Tekken but I never trained again."
The song in Japanese is called "Dragonfilies" Its translation is
Dragonflies, as red as sunset,
Back when I was young
In twilight skies,
There on her back I'd ride
When the day was done
Mountain fields, in late November
Long ago it seems
Mulberry trees and treasures we would gather
Was it only just a dream?
Just fifteen, she went away one day
Married then so young
Like a sister lost, I loved and missed her
Letters never seemed to come
Dragonflies, as red as sunset
Back when I was young
Now in my eyes,
When I see dragonflies
Tears are always sure to come
