Ok so this is the story I've been thinking about a-freaking lot and the plot bunnies won't leave me alone. I'm really into this one so hopefully I can keep this one going. I am sorry for deleting the other one but this one has such a better plot so I really hope ya'll enjoy and R&R please!
Disclaimer: I don't own TMNT, just Scar.
"You wanted to speak with me, Sir?"
"I have a mission for you."
"What is it you wish of me, Master?"
"I need you to infiltrate this address and see if there is anything… of value to our cause. The details are with Karai; you shall be working with her and your squadron on this mission."
"Yes, Master."
"I have chosen you for this mission because of your skills; do not make me wish I sent another."
"No worries, Master Shredder. I will not fail you."

Being in the top ranks of the Foot Clan does have its perks; even I have to admit it. You get a decent, triple digit, quarterly pay check; whatever weapon you want instead of the lowly single katana of the drones; you can wear whatever you want as long as the Foot symbol is on it; oh and let's not forget the best thing, you can pick your own missions… well, most of the time.
Take now for instance; this mission I want no part of. Yet, this one comes straight from the master so I have no choice. I hate doing missions that might involve my master's most hated enemies. Not because I'm afraid or anything of that nature, God forbid, but more along the lines of I don't understand the dynamics behind the hatred. Sure I've heard the stories from Karai and Hun, but what about the creatures' side of the story?
What if they are actually the honorable ones and we are not?
"Scarlock, time to move," I snap out of my thoughts and come back to reality and Karai standing in front of me.
"Yeah, yeah I know my part," I snap back. Damn that woman gets on my nerves. She thinks she's the top shit because of being Master's daughter and all. Just don't get me started on her.
I quietly move to the back door of the secondhand shop and get out my kit. Every type of pick you can imagine I've got, same with any type of lock. What can I say? I like to practice my trade. That's why everyone in the Foot Clan calls me Scarlock or just Scar, whatever it's weird either way.
Examining the lock I find it's nothing more than a simple three tumbler. Ten seconds later and its popped open and set to the side as I motion to the other ninja to come on.
The others search as I stand by Karai, silently waiting. I have done my part and being such a higher level I don't have to bother myself with anything else. Within fifteen minutes the drones have searched the shop and collected the data they were required to get. I replace the lock exactly as it was and we climb to the top of the building.
"Shit," Karai mutters when she sees what's waiting for us on the roof top. Four giant turtles in multi-colored masks… something tells me they must be the ever infamous thorn in my master's side. Yeah I'm being sarcastic, I'm not stupid.
"Karai," says a deep, pure voice filled with an aura of leadership; the one in blue. I can't recall his name, even though I'm supposed to have all this information memorized. Oh well. "I suggest you return everything you just stole."
"And why should I do that?" she replies, laughing. She doesn't give him time to answer before discreetly motioning the drones to attack.
And attack they did.
It was a flurry of black clothed bodies as the twenty ninja we brought went into battle. Karai went straight for the blue banded turtle as I pulled out my crescent moon blades and head for the red banded one. The drones scatter as I come to fight the largest turtle in the group and I smile, I love a one on one, fair, honorable fight. In the Foot Clan this doesn't happen often.
I block a slice of his sai to my abdomen and twist to slice his falling wrist. He blocks and gives me a dirty look. I give him a sweet smile, unlike the drones I only cover my eyes with a black and red mask sorta like what the turtles wear. He gives a primal yell and kicks low, sweeping me off my feet and delivering a swift punch to my jaw as I go down. I spit some blood out of my mouth before quickly doing a move up on my hands with a powerful kick to his head. I jump up as he stagers back, giving me a perfect slice to his throat. I think about it for a millisecond…
…Before slipping my blades back into my belt and jogging back over to Karai who had whistled. The turtles are regrouping and so are we. The blue banded one has a nasty cut on the side of his leg while the others are just busted up a little. Karai must've got in a lucky shot. I motion for my ninja to disappear as we hear police sirens in the distance. Karai gives me a three fingered order and disappears as well. I quickly follow but slip into the shadows about three buildings away.
I watch as the turtles turn and leap on the next building to go home when the building they're on explodes. They disappear for as the debris and dust consume them in a gigantic blast. I shield myself behind a chimney and wait for the crashes to finally stop. When they do I run across to the buildings next to the one that was destroyed, searching for any of the turtles unconscious. If I find one I'm supposed to take him back to the master.
I climb down the fire escape and start shifting through the rubble. I see no signs of life and I seriously need to hurry or the police will catch me. Then I see the blue cloth peeking out from underneath a section of roof. I move it off the creature as fast as I can, quickly finding out he is unconscious, and pick him up to move us to the shadows.

I move his heavy as hell shell three blocks to my apartment before settling him down on my loveseat with his injured calf hanging off the side. Now all I got to do is call Karai and she'll take him to Master. Then I can get the freaking blood stains out of my new rug.
I grab the phone and sit in my recliner and look at him. He looks so peaceful while he is unconscious. I wonder what his story is and what has created him. I wonder about his life, his family, and his interests. He seems so complex and yet so simple. I take off his mask without realizing it and suddenly notice how pale he's looking for a green skinned reptile. I set the phone down and grab my medical kit, gently cleaning the wound on his leg before I even realize what I'm doing. I drop the kit and go back to the phone.
I shouldn't be doing this, I should call Karai and get this thing out of my apartment. I don't need to think about this thing's life or hobbies or whatever. I just need to get my superiors over here to take care of it. I start to dial the number when I hear him groan. I look over at him.
"Br…brothers… must…fi..find," and then he's out again. It makes me remember he isn't just someemotionless thing like the master keeps saying. I look back at the phone in my hand and make one of the stupidest/smartest decisions in all my eighteen years.
I push END.
Phew…finally finished with chapter numero uno. Please R&R peoples!
