So after reading please R2 (Rate and Review)!
Thank you for doing so!
He just stared at the phone, unable to say anything.
His younger brothers were the same way, their eyes wide with shock.
It couldn't be, he thought, the voice entering his mind again.
Mikey was the one to break the silence.
"That's weird; I thought I just heard her voice"
"You did" The phone said and they all looked in shock
"Jasmine? Is that you?" Leo said, his voice full of surprise
"Who else would it be? Yes, it's me" She teased
The young leader cracked a smile, before being tackled.
"LEO! GIVE ME PHONE!"
"MIKEY, WAIT YOUR TURN!"
"NO I WANT TO TALK TO MY SISTER!"
"JUST WAIT!"
"GUYS!" She yelled, interrupting the wrestling match
"This is why I told you to put it on speaker" She said, in a dry tone
"Where are you?" Raph asked, knowing she should be there with them
"In Japan, I tried to get back but I was held up" Jasmine said, knowing she hadn't kept her promise
"You're in Japan! That's so cool!" Mikey said trying to grab the phone
"Hands off Mikey" Leo said, keeping the phone securely in his hand
"Why are you in Japan?" Don asked, thinking it had something to do with his gift
"Where else would I get fresh herbs, a hand painted teapot, a stone statue, an original comic book, an awesome bike, and a brand new computer?" She asked
"That was you?" Raph asked, thinking back to his gifts
"But how?" Mikey said. She had said she was in Japan.
"Let's say I am friends with Santa, so he delivered the gifts to you" She said, knowing none of the believed that
"Right….and I am a fairy princess" Raph said, smirking
"Like I said before, you might look good in tights" She said, with a chuckle
"What?" Leo asked, as they all looked at Raph with a WTF look
"Anyway, I thought I would call to wish you guys a Merry Christmas" She said, a smile on her face because of hearing their voices
"Ditto dudette" Mikey replied
"Mikey, come up with a new nickname for me okay?" She said
"How long do I have?" The little turtle asked
"When will you be back?" Raph said, wondering for himself
"I'll be there soon" She said, not wanting to give a time span
"I wish you were here" Leo said, knowing it was true
"I will be there before you know it, time flies" She said, her heart racing
"See you soon!" Mikey said, ignoring the glares he was getting from Leo
"One more thing" She said
"What is that?" Don asked, trying to get closer to the phone
"Do you guys like riddles?" She asked, though she already knew the answer
"Yes" Don said with a grin
"You bet!" Mikey said, wanting something exciting to do
"Not really, but I'll give it a shot" Raph said, wondering what this was all about
"Sure" Leo said, glad to hear her voice
"Okay well here it is so listen carefully" She paused before continuing
[AN: This is Jasmine below]
When you hear the knock
Run; do not walk, to answer it
There you will find a challenge
Think with you minds, not your muscle
Look around and the gift you wanted will be found
And a promise will be fulfilled
Say a name and a smile will come to you face
"There you go, and I love you guys" She said after finishing
"Can't wait to see you" Don said, trying to analyze what she had just said
"See ya soon sis!" Mikey said
"Bye" Leo said, sad that she had to go
"Hope you get here soon and thanks for the jacket" Raph said, finally getting the phone from Leo clutches
"Don't you love it?" She said, a chuckle coming from her mouth afterwards
"Hothead, nice" He replied, with sarcastic ness in his voice
"See you soon bro" She said
"Bye" He said, and then the call ended
"Good to hear from her" Leo said, sitting on the couch
"Yeah it was Romeo" Raph said, getting a glare from his elder brother
"Hey Don, any idea what the riddle means?" Mikey asked, the purple turtle's eyes closed in concentration
"No, but…" His reply interrupted by a sound
A banging sound was heard from the lair entrance, like someone was knocking on the door.
"Maybe that's what she meant" Mikey said
"We aren't sure, let's be careful" Leo said, approaching the door
As his hand reached for the button to open the door, he looked to his brothers. Raph was on his right, ready to go. The younger turtles were on his left, both looking confused and nervous.
The door slid open, as Leonardo pulled out his swords.
There was nothing, just the empty sewer.
When he said nothing, Raph came out and said "All clear" The other turtle brothers joined Leo as the door began to close.
There was a flash off black, as something flashed past them to the living room. They all rushed after it, their eyes going wide in what they saw.
There stood a ninja, garbed in black. With one sword attached to its hip, it was as normal as a ninja could get except for one thing. Around its waist was a belt, the buckle silver, showing a curled dragon. The stranger sunk down into a defensive position, giving them the first move.
Pulling out his Sais, Raphael attacked first. He aimed his heavy lunges at vital areas, such as the ninja's chest. The mystery person dodged them all, not pulling out his sword. He jumped away only to be attacked by the eldest brother. Unlike Raph's attacks, the light brown eyed turtle was smoother, using skill and speed opposed to strength. Drawing his single katana, the ninja blocked all of the attacks. Jumping over Leo's head, the ninja was then attack by the two younger turtles. Both putting in attacks at the same time, they made a good team especially when their brother's joined in.
For minutes this went on and the turtles never landed a hit. This ninja had perfect form, though he never attacked. Anytime there was an opening, he backed off. He only defended, which was a surprise to the terrapins. That was the last thing on their minds though, they wanted him out. This was their home and no ninja was going to take that away. After one attack, Mikey was knocked into a wall by Don's attack which had hit him instead of the attacker.
"Mikey, you okay?" Don asked, going over to him
"I'm fine, go help them" Mikey said back
Donatello nodded before rejoining the fight. Mikey was about to get back in the fight when his sisters words came to mind.
When you hear the knock
Run; do not walk, to answer it
We did that, he thought
There you will find a challenge
Think with you minds, not your muscle
This must be our challenge, Mikey thought looking to the fight in front of him. Think with our minds, does that mean we should study the ninja? He looked over to the intruder. He watched how he moved, dodged, and never attacked his brothers.
Look around and the gift you wanted will be found
And a promise will be fulfilled
Say a name and a smile will come to you face
I get it he thought, rising from his place.
"WAIT!" He said, catching his brothers off guard
The fight stopped, the ninja in the middle surrounded on all sides by the turtles.
"What Mikey?" Leo asked, his eyes narrowed in on the ninja
Not answering, the youngest turtle walked towards the ninja. The ninja did nothing, just waited. The young turtle stopped and said "Jasmine" in a low voice, so low the others couldn't hear.
The ninja said nothing, no emotion shown.
The orange turtle found himself in a neck hold, a blade against his neck. He stared towards his brothers, their anger raising.
"Get you hands off my brother" Raph growled, as the three attacked
Mikey closed his eyes.
Did I make a mistake? Was I wrong?
The sound of clashing metal was heard and the groans of his brothers, as he was thrown down.
What a mistake to make, he thought, as he opened his eyes to see the black ninja standing over him.
What's going to happen?
