Attention: I don't own TMNT; but you already knew that.
So after reading please R2 (Rate and Review)!
Thank you for doing so!
AN: This first part is…well while I don't doubt that this could happen, I also know that the Elite would never be this loose with one another. Or would they?
Any who…Enjoy!
Returning to the others, there was only silence.
The meeting had obviously disturbed her, while he on the other hand was curious of what they had discussed. Entering their temporary home, he started to break off, blend in with the watching Foot.
"Stay" Karai said, not turning from her path
Moving away from his fellow Elite, who gave him a confused look, he continued to follow her.
"How soon?"
"Whenever it can't be controlled"
What were the two meaning, when it can't be controlled? What needed to be controlled? The question stayed inside his head, as they entered the medical bay. There lay the newly found Shredder, who had sunk into was unconscious earlier that afternoon. Baxter Stockman stood there, turning to look from his clipboard at their entrance.
"How is he?" His mistress's voice was soft, the question coming out as a whisper
Completely ignoring him, the doctor connected eyes with her. Taking a breath, he replied in a mono-toned voice. "His injuries were minimal, he should awaken soon"
A sigh of relief escaped her mouth, follow by a small smile.
"Alert me when he comes to" She said, before exiting the room
He followed, feeling the doctor's gaze on his back. He guessed that, like everyone else in the place, the colored man wondered why he alone was accompanying Karai. Walking behind her, in front of what ever was left of the slightly diminished Foot army, he felt their eyes follow him. Whispers echoed around him, a hurricane of rumors and theories that he was the eye of.
One conversation between two reached him, as the approached her room.
"Why is he her favorite?"
"Like I know, but he is one lucky guy"
He chuckled at the comments, before listening to hear what their possible explanations were. But instead what he heard made his eyes narrow and his teeth grind in resistance to his desire to rip their heads off.
"He must be fucking her"
"What! Are you serious?"
"Why else would she want him by her side at all times? Plus they were gone for at least an hour tonight, together"
"Never would I take Miss Karai…"
"…as a whore? Me neither b-"
The last sentence was cut off by the Elite's fingers wrapped around the man's throat. About to attack, he felt a person move next to him. He smiled; his wrath was the one the man would beg for. Lifting him off the ground, he moved the man against the wall, before releasing him to face the female beside him. Her dark eyes glaring a hole in the man's head, she reared back her fist to punch him. The sound of the hit bounced off the walls, all eyes on the three of them.
"You have something to say? Say it to my face!" She roared, delivering another blow to the fear filled man
He watched on as the blood ran down the soldier's broken face, anger filling him. Turning away to look at the man's conversation partner, he walked towards the other man. The lesser ranking man was shaking, his eyes wide in fright as he approached. Towering over him, his red eyes glared as he drew his axe. In a second, he sliced it towards the man's throat. Stopping inches away, he whispered in the man's ear.
"Say anything like that again; I'll slice your throat." He felt the man flinch as he drew back, before turning back to Karai's punching bag, leaving the man to run away from the pair.
Hardly did he recognize the man is Mistress was punching, the man's face reminding him of a bloody steak more than an actual face. The Foot around them kept their distance, yet close enough to see their Master's daughter beat the crap out of someone. The other three Elite had made their way to the front, knowing that it was allowed for them to approach him when others couldn't. Giving him confused looks, he knew exactly what they were asking.
"He called her a whore" He elaborated, jerking his thumb in the direction of the bloody mess once called a solider
They winced knowing that the last time that had happened; let's just say that every man including the Shredder feared for his life and somebody had been beaten within an inch of their lives. Lesson learned from that week, watch you're words around women at all times.
"Does he have a death wish or something?" One asked, almost joking because he didn't want to push his luck.
Before he could answer, another voice replaced his.
"Get rid of him"
The four turned to see Karai, glowering in fury while wiping her bloody knuckles.
"As you wish" They replied, their tones calm in hopes that she would adopt the same attitude
"I don't care what you do with him, but get him out of here before I kill him" Their mistress delivered the last words, leaving no doubt that she would carry out the deed.
"Didn't you already?" He joked, knowing he was taking a risk by doing so. Although, something told him that she wouldn't react badly.
"He wishes" She said, a small smile coming to her face.
Groans resounded from behind her, as she made her way down the cleared path through the black ninja.
"You want a picture or something? Get moving!" He roared, the crowd jumping at his voice
The black clad army dispersed, skittering to where they had been before not to induce his or anyone else's wrath.
"Where are we taking him?" One Elite sighed, as they surrounded him
"We could kill him, dump the body, and them tell her the news" Another added
"She would be pleased" A third commented
"Let's just take him to the hospital" He said, grabbing the man's arm
The other's raised an eyebrow at him, a few chuckles escaping their mouths, as they teleported to the hospital's entrance. With the man safely in the doctor's hands, he turned to see them still laughing.
"What?" He asked, wondering what was so damn funny
"Has your mistress turned you soft?" One chuckled
"Oh shut up" He rolled his eyes, he knew they were messing with him. Never would they seriously dare to suggest such a thing.
"Where were you two?" Another questioned
"Having fun?" The third said in sarcasm
"If you must know, we were shell hunting" Telling the truth, he knew they wouldn't believe him
"Find any bloody thirsty turtles?" A fellow Elite asked, in complete sarcasm
Like he predicted, they didn't believe him.
"No" The word was low, it silenced their teasing.
They really didn't have a leader for the team, but it seemed that he was their leader. The other three followed his order, knew when to joke with him and when to shut up. Was he the leader? The thought had never crossed his mind before, but now it seemed that he was.
The wind blew past them as they walked back, into the place they had just been. Without a second thought, he headed towards her room. They didn't follow, only to break back into chuckles.
"Going to see your girl?" One of his Elite brothers called after him
"Better not let her you say that" He replied, a small smile creeping onto his face
"Let me hear what?"
The four froze at the question, slowly turning to see the person they rather not see right now. Looking at him, she was waiting for an answer.
"Let you hear that the bastard is unfortunately expected to make a full recovery" He replied quickly and calmly
She didn't respond, only sigh in apparent frustration before walking away.
"You owe me" He said, as they breathed easy at the fact they had avoided the female's anger
"Big time" The other replied
With that he headed towards where she was walking, leaving the three and their jokes behind. Reaching her destination, he discovered it to be his Master's room. What surprised him was that no longer was the Shredder unresponsive, instead sitting up talking with his daughter. He stood there in till his presence was finally noticed.
"Elite" His master's voice was low, not giving away if he was angry with him
"Master Shredder, I am relieved you have awakened" Kneeling right at the door frame, he dared not to enter the room without being invited.
"Karai tells me that the two of you were unsuccessful in your attempt to find the turtles tonight" Oroku Saki said, is tone turning icy
"Yes, there was no sign of the monsters" The words, though they were lies, came out easily and as truthful as any other words
"Alert the others of my condition, and then take them all out for a patrol" The Shredder's orders were simple enough, easy enough to complete
"Father, may I suggest something?" His mistress asked
"Yes?" Her father replied
"Sending the Elites only, in my perspective, would ensure a better chance of capture. They are stealthier than the new recruits; their teamwork will be a better skill against the turtles" Her words made sense, not to mention that he would be able to guarantee that they wouldn't catch any turtles.
The way the elder of the three nodded his head, he knew his orders without them even needed to be said. Smoke surrounding him, he appeared next to his fellow three who faced most of the mass army.
"Master Shredder is awake!" A roar came from the crowd, as he turned to the others.
"We are to go on a patrol" He told them
"Just us four, or is your girl tagging along?" One asked
"Just get ready" He growled, before walking away
She felt her head throbbing, as she opened her eyes. Instead of bar, she was outside the night's sky dark above her head.
"Alice?"
Looking to her side, she saw Simone looking at her with concern in her eyes.
"Yeah?" She replied, climbing to her feet only to stumble
"Since you can stand, I'm guessing you had no brain damage" Her brown haired elder said
"She had a brain?" She heard Tori snort
Locating her amber eyed sister, she saw that there was a forth figure on the rooftop. Her eyes went wide, it couldn't be…Banishing the thought from her head, she walked with Simone to join their sister.
"Who's this?" She asked, her throat going dry as the stranger turned to connect eyes with her
Dark blue, with concern laced within them.
"I don't…" The eldest's answer was cut off by the other female
"I am the one who brought you up here. I thought it would be best to get you out of there" Her answer was calm, just like…
Shaking the sound away, she tried not to think that she had heard the voice before.
"Thank you" She said
"Do you have a name?" Tori gruffly said, not seeming all that happy that she had just apologized to the person in front of them
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you" The stranger's voice took a sadder turn, she wondered why.
"And why wouldn't we?" Simone questioned
"You just wouldn't, Sim"
Her mouth dropped, as did Simone's while their sister reacted in anger.
"How do you know her name?" Their sister demanded, glaring at the other
Only the four of them had called Simone that. No one outside their team had dared to every call her that, even if they had overheard them use it.
"Like I would forget" The stranger chuckled
"Answer the question!" Tori growled
"Do I have to Tor-Tor?"
They froze, all eyes on the stranger.
There was only one person, that they had heard say that.
Only one person who could get away with calling the hothead that.
One person who called Tori that.
One turtle, which was dead.
She was the first to react, not knowing what she was saying before it was already out of her mouth.
"Jasmine?"
Looking to the place where the stranger had been, she saw nothing. Must have just been my imagination, she thought, wondering what had happened. Drawing from her thoughts was an answer.
"Yes?"
Looking to the source of the answer was…
Her.
She literally felt her jaw hit the ground, while hearing two other jaws do the same.
Blue eyes, black hair just like she remembered. Yellow mask flowing in the wind, double katana hilts sticking out from behind her shell. Turtle green skin, turtle necklace securely around her neck.
"What, no hug?" The turtle in front of them smirked
"JASMINE!" She screamed, taking off blindly in her big sister's direction. What seemed like an eternity later, she felt two arms wrap around her and her sisters. Tears sprang to her eyes, as her other sister's were already crying.
She was there; there were no tricks to convince her otherwise. They had joked during their childhood that the eldest was unable to die, no matter what happened she was always there. She believed it, hugging her sister even tighter. She didn't care how it was possible that Jasmine was there or why she had been in the same place, all that mattered to her was hugging her was the person she had missed since day one. Under the starry sky they sat, as they just held onto what they had searched for and wanted the whole time.
They were four once more and one thing was certain.
Nothing was going to tear them apart.
Review? Please and thank you!
YA! They are back together, they finally meet!
What's gonna happen now that they are four again?
