"I don't think this is a good idea." Frank said pacing in his kitchen in front of the girls. They all sighed their heads drooping as Jade stood from her chair.
"I think it is the only way, give them the element of surprise. It's not as though we haven't fought them before, and won." She said as Frank looked at her with a sigh before turning towards his sons.
"If that must be the case then, they're going with you." He said placing his hand on Gregory's shoulder.
"We have enough coming with us." Leonardo spoke up from his lean against the door way. Josh kept behind his brother as Raphael never moved his hands from across his chest and his glare from Josh's eyes. Gregory let his smile slowly fade as his graze moved from Jade moved to Leonardo.
"The more you have to help you and less you will endanger the girls." Greg said in slow tone. Jade furrowed her brow in surprise as she twisted her body to look towards him as his even glare was set on Leonardo's. She widened her eyes slightly as she looked back at Leo.
"Wow, sweater boy has some balls." She heard Jacqueline's voice say through her thoughts. She relaxed her worry from her sister's joke and crossed her arms.
"Leonardo knows better than too…"
"That might be true, but we've all taken care of them before." Leo said stepping away from the wall. Greg took a step away from the counter.
"And you almost got them killed." He said raising his voice slightly as Leo narrowed his eyes.
"Are you saying that my brother's and I aren't capable of taking care of them?" Leo asked back taking another step forward. Gregory brought one as well, keeping his hands tight to his side.
"I am saying that there are more than just you and your brother's who care about their well being." Greg said in another slow tone almost a growl showing through his aggravated words. Leo squared his shoulder slightly taking another step as Jade stepped in front of him, placing both of her hands on his olive skin above his chest plate. She curled her fingers slightly to caress the edge of his plastron as he adjusted his eyes from Greg to her before relaxing his stance.
"If nothing, it'll help you Leonardo." Frank said gently placing a hand on his son's shoulder to relax his stance and bring him a step back. "You and your brother's to protect the girls. You're devotion to protecting them is not second guessed here, however we all care about them as you do. We are like family." Frank said with a slight bow of his head as Leo let a slow breath out, feeling Jade's small, soft hand land on his strong shoulder giving it a squeeze.
"They can help us, alright." She said softly, looking into his golden brown eyes, almost calming him instantly. "Jacqueline and myself can feed off of their powers making ours stronger. It'll help." He lifted his gaze from another moment towards Greg who still had the dissolving glare through his blue eyes, arms crossed and tensed as Leo raised his head to look at him. Leo sighed looking back down at Jade as a small smile went to his face. She returned it turning towards her sisters.
"Yeah Leo, the more the merrier!" Fiona said with a smile as Jac rolled her eyes getting from the table.
"Well, we gonna just stand 'round hea' all night or get this goin'?" She asked looking around the room as Josh smirked, quickly removing it as Raph took a step from the wall to leave the kitchen. He pulled Greg's shoulders with him to get this brother to leave with him at the same time.
"Way to go Raphie, looks like you got Josh to shit his pants from just a step." Mikey chuckled as the girls walked ahead.
"Fucker better know he's lucky that's all he got." Raph said narrowing his eyes at the back of the boy's head.
"Aw, c'mon Raphie. You know Jackal wouldn't do anything." Fiona said turning her head over her shoulder.
"Not her I'm worried 'bout." He said in a dark tone.
As the ten made their way outside the house the Lexine and Fiona made their way inside the truck with Donnie and Mikey. Gregory turned towards the garage as the door opened slowly exposing a Dodge Charger 2007 model silver coat and an Aprilia RST1000 Futura motorcycle next to it.
Raphael's eyes slowly widened as he looked towards the bike. He couldn't help but walk towards it as Josh smiled watching Raph slowly run his hand along the shinny red metal.
"Wanna give it a go man?" Josh asked taking a helmet off the rack on the wall. "I can ride with Greg." He said thumbing behind him at his older brother and Greg leaned against the opened door. Raph smirked taking the helmet as Josh tossed Jacqueline one. "Just…be careful with her…She's fragile." Raph narrowed his eyes slightly picking his head up as Josh held up his hands. "The bike man, the bike!" He said taking a step back as Jac passed hitting Raphael's arm.
Jacqueline smiled sitting up front as Raph slipped his helmet over his head.
"You think your drivin'?"
"We've been through this before Red. With that shell, I might as well sit on the wheel." She said over her shoulder as he put his leg over, straddling the bike. She smiled as she felt his hard chest straighten out her back, as she leaned into him. "Lemme see what ya got big bad ninja." She whispered to him as he revved the engine.
"Raph be care….ful…"Leo said as his brother popped a wheeler, pealing out of the long driveway as Jacqueline's scream slowly faded down the street. Jade shook her head before walking towards the van.
"At least they're wearing helmets." She shrugged.
The group started they decent to the city Raphael speeding through traffic as the van and Greg's Charger followed far behind. They agreed on a meeting spot, leaving the vehicles in the alleyway beside the girl's building.
Raphael parked Josh's bike, putting down the kick stand and holding it steady for Jacqueline to get off first. She shook out her gleaming red hair from the helmet as Raph let a smile go to his face, slowly removing his helmet and eyeing her carefully. Her hair stuck to the back of her head from sweat in the hot helmet as she ran her fingers through her tangled hair at the ends.
Standing from the bike he put slight weight along the length of her body as he leaned over to hooked the helmet on a handle bar, taking hers and doing the same. She smiled, turning towards him as her chest pressed against his. She brought her hands around his shoulders as he leaned down, with his smile reaching around her back as he pulled her body up against his by the back of her thighs. She let a soft noise escape her lips as it was cut off by his tight kiss. She closed her eyes, kissing him just as hard as her adrenaline still pumped wild through her veins.
"How far do you think they were behind us." She asked in a low tone as he smirked, walking forward as her back pressed tightly against the cold metal wall of the alleyway. She breathed in from the surprise in texture as he reached down to unbutton her pants.
"This would be easier if you wore skirts." He said against her neck as she giggled lifting her head to the side as her hair followed to expose her neck to him. Moving her cheek against his was his face moved up to look at her forcing her lips back on his as her tongue pierced past them, mingling and rolling against his in a needing manner. He breathed in a long breath that hitched in his throat from her force as she smiled. She let her hand slowly move down his strong arm the flexed from holding up her weight, down the side of his plastron as she dragged the tip of her index finger along his crease on his thigh. Another breath was harshly sucked in from him as she smiled again, slowly letting her finger tip follow a pattern of up and down motions where this lower plastron and thigh met.
She opened her eyes as another soft moan escaped her lips as he struggled with her pants, slowly sliding them over her backside as he still pressed hard between her legs to keep her against the wall. She saw a light growing against the bricks in front of her as she furrowed her brow for a moment before taking his hands and jumping down to her feet. He looked at her and then towards the light behind him with a growl.
"Apparently not as far away as we thought." She said pulling her pants up and buttoning them. The girls jumped out of the van with their boyfriends as Gregory and Joshua leaned against the car doors, looking at the group for instructions.
"What now?" Fiona asked as Jade smirked.
"They wanna track us, we'll make it easier for them."
"That was your plan?" Josh asked as Jade chuckled.
"She told you not to come." Jac spoke up as Jade looked over at her with a shrug.
"Well we're here now, so is there more to this plan? Or we just wait out in the open like sitting ducks?" Greg asked shutting his door as Josh followed.
"That's our apartment. We check it out, something doesn't feel right already so I am assuming it's rigged…"
"So we're just giving ourselves up?" Greg said stepping closer to her with crossed arms. She eyed him carefully crossing her own arms.
"I am doing what's best for my sisters. Lexine was in danger on the street and being tracked. Either way, they're going to find us. Why not at least be prepared?"
"That's ridiculous, if you stayed at the house we could have kept you safe." Greg said softening his voice a little as his blue eyes looked down into Jade's hazel ones. His hand slowly grazed her forearm as he took another step closer to her. She felt a smile crawl over her face as she pushed it away, taking a step back.
"Thank you, and with your powers helping us we will be. Along with the guys there." She said over her shoulder smiling at Leo. He kept his eyes in a tight glare on Greg as they're eyes met. She placed her hand on Leo's and could feel it tense to the glare he was getting in response to the one he was giving. "C'mon, let's go inside." She said tugging on his arm slightly as he moved his eyes from Greg, walking behind Jade as she pulled down the fire escape ladder that lead to the living room.
"You are beggin' for him to kick ya ass." Josh whispered harshly at Greg as he shrugged.
"He should know how to protect someone as special as Jade." Greg said before jumping up, using his powers and climbing up after Michelangelo.
Jade stepped into the living room as felt something tingle across her skin as soon as her feet touched the floor. She put her hand out for Leo as he nodded his head, knowing to be carefully. She walked ahead as he walked to the side looking around the room, keeping his hand at the hilt of his katana.
"Do you feel someone?" He whispered as she shook her head.
"No. Just…something."
Jacqueline was next as Raphael followed, helping her in the window. She kept her hand on his gripping it tightly in the darkness of their apartment as he gave her a slight squeeze back to reassure her he was there. Lexine and Donatello were next as she hugged her body close to his trying to adjust her eyes to the darkness making out her sisters moving slowly along the room.
"Be carefully." Donnie whispered in her ear as she nodded her head, walking away from the window.
Mikey and Fiona were next as Fiona tripped inside, landing on the floor as Mikey tried to grab her by the waist helping her up. Her sisters all turned towards her in a glare with a group "sh" as she winced getting to her feet.
"Sorry…" She whispered as Mikey smiled kissing her cheek looking behind her at Greg and Josh.
"C'mon dudes, tread carefully." He said as they came in from the fire escape, closing the window.
Jade slid her hand along the wall as she flicked on the light switch. Leonardo's blades removing from their hold on his shell was the only other noise in the room as the others placed ready hands at their weapons.
"I think we're good." Jade said looking around for a moment before walking back towards Leo. He put an arm around her kissing the side of her head in relief as she sighed herself, looking at all her sisters.
"So we're good can I go to my…"
"No Fe, we stay here. No one goes anywhere, we stay together."
"Yeah, we're a family we fight together and get captured together." Jac said sarcastically as she jumped over the back of the couch kicking her feet up on the coffee table.
"There's a camera in here." Greg said looking around the room as Jade looked towards him furrowing his brow. "Can you feel that?" He asked her as she took a slow breath in focusing on his thoughts. She saw the monitors in another building, watching them as she turned around seeing a small light. She smirked walking towards it as Leo followed her.
"It leads to them." She said crossing her arms before the camera.
"Flash 'em." Jac said over her shoulder as Lexi smacked her in the back of the head. Jac furrowed her brow rubbing her head as she lit a flame to her fingers. "Try that again blondie."
"With pleasure hot head." Lexi said pulling her hand as Jade put her hand out behind her stopping her two sisters.
"Knock it off…"
"Uh guys…Those Foot Ninjas…they like, travel in packs right?" Josh asked as he looked out the window, the moonlight shinning on his face as his hair slowly started to turned red.
"Yeah…why?" Jac asked leaning back against the couch.
"Well, they found us." Josh said backing up and lighting a flame to his hand. Jac smirked jumping to her feet and running at his side.
"You ready?" She asked lighting a flame of her own as she felt her sisters behind her all take stances at ready.
"Do I have a choice?" Josh asked in a wince as Jac chuckled.
"Nope." She said as she backed up from the window seeing the Ninja's leap from a foot top, landing through their window.
Leonardo and Raphael ran forward as their weapons gleamed, slicing through the air before them as Foot ninja were knocked back out the window from where they came. Jade turned behind her and flicked the light switched off running over to Lexine's side as she stayed close to Fiona.
Foot ninja ran at the girls as Jacqueline kept beside Josh, both lighting the area in flames around them as explosions went off, burning their clothing.
"Too bad we didn't get to use that fabric I made?" Josh quipped as he tossed another flame in front of him. Jac chucked using her arm to stop a katana and grabbed the blade with her hand bending the metal. She kicked out her leg, sending the Foot back out the broken window with her new strength.
Fiona closed her eyes putting out her hands as a small orb started to form growing bigger. Her green eyes glowing emerald as she opened them slowly, looking at the Foot as they slid to a stop before her, trying to turn around as she threw her arms forwards having the large orb help them through the window.
"Whoa…Nice moves geek-zilla." Jac said over her shoulder as Fiona dusted her nails on her shirt.
"I have my moments." She giggled.
Jade pushed back another Foot that came at her and Lexine as Lexi tried to move her feet to run. Jade sighed nudging her sister down as another Foot's katana came at her head. Lexi fell to the floor as Jade stopped the katana with her hand tossing the Foot back as another came forward. She threw out another arm, picking the Foot from the ground as Lexine swallowed hard watching her sister struggle without her.
She growled getting to her feet as she ran towards the Foot hovering in the air, taking them by the ankle and twisting them over her shoulder, slamming their body on the hardwood floor.
"That'a girl!" Donnie said as he swung his bo staff knocking down Foot ninja around him. She smiled getting to her feet and darting off over to him as she kicked her foot across their faces, keeping the Foot down around him.
Raphael and Leonardo put their weapons back in their holds as they looked around the room at the groaning ninja. Jade narrowed her eyes on one who tried to get to his feet as she kept him on the ground using her powers to slide his body against the wall, hovering to look eye level with her.
"Who sent you?" She growled as the ninja stayed quiet. She narrowed her eyes taking his body from the wall and slamming it back against it as his head slumped back, shaking away his dizziness. "Tell me!" She hissed as he picked his head up look at her as it slumped again. She felt his breathing stop against her palm as she released her powers letting his body fall on the floor.
"Anyone notice that was really easy?" Mikey asked as he slipped his nunchaku back inside his belt as Raph nodded his head.
"They're recruits." Jade said tossing the Foot's limp arm back at his body.
"What?" Lexi asked walking to her sister.
"They're not Foot yet. They're in training." She said getting to her feet in a sigh. "This wasn't the battle we've been preparing for." She said turning towards the window. "They're toying with us."
"Well let's play back!" Jac said slamming her fist against her palm. Jade smirked looking over at her sister.
"You wanna play Jackie?" Jade asked looking back towards the moonlight at the roof tops as she saw a shadow move. "Let's show these recruits what being in the Foot truly means." She said as Jac smirked walking over to her sister. "Stay here." She said over her shoulder as Fiona and Lexi nodded their heads.
"Shouldn't we follow them?" Greg asked as Leonardo watched them from the window, crossing his arms.
"We'll know if they need us." He said in a deep straight voice.
The two older girls jumped from their fire escape onto another as they climbed to the roof. Jade turned her head as she saw another shadow move out of the corner of her eyes as another smirk slowly went to her face.
"They're sloppy." She said in a whisper as Jac cracked her knuckled in response.
"Come out come out where ever you are." Jac taunted as Jade smirked using her powers to seek out the hiding recruits. She ran over to a heating duct, close lining on as their katana hit the concrete. The weapon leaped into Jade's hand as she pointed it down at the young Foot's neck.
"Why were you sent here?" She asked in a low tone as the Foot squirmed slightly. Jade arched a brow pointing the tip of the blade closer to the ninja in training's neck.
"T-they sent us…" The soft voice of a teen girl spoke. "H-He said t-that w-w-we were posta tire you out." Jade lifted the katana as Jac furrowed her brow.
"Who's he?" Jac asked as the girl looked towards the red head.
"T-the S-Shredder."
