I don't own TMNT.
Astrid climbed onto my shell and held on while I leapt out of the man hole and onto the roof of a nearby building. It took me a little longer because of Astrid's extra weight. I moved from roof to roof sticking to shadows and we soon reached the base of the foot building. I looked at Astrid; she looked scared but nodded for me to keep going. We found a foot scout group and followed them quietly into the building. The lobby looked like a normal office building. We followed the foot into an elevator and hid on the ceiling. The ride was silent but I noticed we were headed to the top floor. The doors slid open with a ding and we were in a large entry way decorated in Japanese style. The foot stood outside a screen door for a second and entered. Astrid dropped from my shell and we stood on either side of the screen door, listening to the conversation.
"We still have to locate the other three turtles master," a voice said. I tensed; they were talking to Oroku Saki. This was the man that took my sister, that haunted my dreams all my life, that killed Koma. The sound of something breaking filled the room.
"I don't care what it takes we have to find them!" Oroku Saki's voice sent chills down my spine.
The foot exited the room without giving us a second glance and left. I had to think of a new way to find Kayla. Following the foot didn't give us much. I wracked my brains for anything while Astrid continued listening. It hit me like a speeding train. The mental connection! I sat cross legged and visualized the door. It appeared in my vision and I opened it to find Kayla meditating.
KAYLA! I yelled at her. Her eyes shot open and she looked around.
"Harley?" she said out loud.
In your brain Kayla. I rolled my eyes at her stupidity.
Oh right heh. She said nervously.
Listen I need you to tell me what floor you're on. I told her.
Harley I tried to tell you before not to get me. Im. Not. Telling. Kayla crossed her arms stubbornly.
Well Im already in the building so I might as well save you while Im here. I said sarcastically.
WHAT! Harley you can't be here! She said.
Yea? Well too bad now tell me where you are. I said getting mad. Kayla sighed.
Im in a lab on the 32nd floor. She hung her head in defeat.
Ok I'll be fine Kayla, just hang in there. She nodded and I left.
I opened my eyes and looked to see if anything had changed. Astrid stood beside me keeping watch. I stood up and she climbed onto my shell. I walked towards the elevator when the doors started to open. I leapt onto the ceiling as one of Shredder's thugs came out. He looked up in curiosity but kept moving forward. I crawled into the elevator feeling like Spiderman. The doors closed and I dropped down with a sigh of relief. The button for the 32nd floor lit up when I pushed it. To our luck no one else got on the elevator and there were no scientists in the lab, weird. Astrid dropped from my shell and we walked through the lab looking at all the different instruments and specimens. At the very back by a window was the tube that held Kayla. She wasn't there. My heart started beating wildly, she was here, she had to.
"Looking for something?" A cold voice cut through the silence.
I whipped around fast and glared at the shadow behind me. Astrid took a fighting stance beside me as I pulled out my bow staff. The shadow tsked and came into the light. It was the Shredder and he had Kayla in his arms. I narrowed my eyes as my vision turned red and I growled.
"Let her go," It was the voice that I made when I was seriously angry.
Shredder still had his cocky stance but I could smell the fear on him. He put Kayla down and shoved her toward me. I ran forward so fast you couldn't see me and caught her. I was going to turn and leave with Kayla and Astrid but I met glass. I placed Kayla next to me on the floor and looked at Shredder. He stood there and laughed evilly. This pissed me off even more, I let go of my control. The glass shook and cracked as I punched it. Shredder stopped laughing and I smirked at him. I punched the glass again and the tube shattered. Kayla stood up next to me and pulled out her fans.
"No take Astrid and go," I told her. Kayla nodded and tried to take Astrid out the window.
"WAIT! WHERE ARE MY PARENTS YOU MONSTER?!" Astrid screamed at Shredder. He laughed maniacally.
"I killed them! They were of no use to me," He told her.
Astrid started crying and I leapt at Shredder. He blocked all of my attacks with my bow staff so I threw it aside and used my hands. I punched him in the stomach and he flew across the room. I raced to him with super speed and he raised his claws. He brought them down and they were blocked by my forearm. Not even a scratch was left. Shredder looked incredulously at me. I picked him up by the front of his armor.
"You touch my family again you bastard and I will personally deliver you to hell," I threated before shoving his head through the brick wall.
I took a deep breath and the red faded from my vision. I picked up my bow staff and jumped out the window and onto the roof where Kayla was waiting. I hugged her tightly and we both started crying. When we broke apart we stared at each other and I picked up Astrid who was crying her eyes out. Poor girl, I know what it feels like. Kayla and I jumped across New York's roofs until we reached the lair. The sun was rising, I hope everyone is awake. Kayla knocked because my arms were full with Astrid. Many footsteps sounded on the other side. We both braced for when the door would open.
Shredder's POV
She is stronger than I had ever imagined. I hope I can convince her to join me because if she doesn't then I have to kill her. I switched to my human exoskeleton. How to convince her? Brainwash? Force? Black mail? First I must find her.
"Stockman!" I called. A tube with a brain and a single eyeball entered my office.
"Yes master Shredder?" a voice echoed from it.
"I need you to find those turtles as soon as you can!" I said. Stockman left the room. I will have your power Harley, even if I have to take it for myself.
