Part 5 is here! Before we start, I want to thank the guest "werewolf lover99" for being so consistant with the reviews. As for your last review, Karai never seemed confused to me. She wants to get revenge and her only leads to it are Shredder's lies. When you really think about it, she doesn't even have the slightest idea that he is lying to her so I think she is pretty dead on her actions.
With that little explanation out of the way, enjoy!
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael eventually took down the last of the Kraang robots sent at them by Eggman.
The scientist, however, seemed unfazed by the loss.
"Listen, Eggman". Sonic got face to face with him. "When are you going to learn that whatever you are doing, wherever and whenever you are doing it, I will always stop you? Why bother now? Just call it quits and no one will get anymore hurt". He tried to reason with his mortal enemy.
Eggman just giggled. "But how can I stop when I am just about to kidnap a ninja master as bait".
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles had no idea what he was talking about, but a large scream of "Splinter"! From the 4 brothers gave them the answer.
"Well, it seems to work already. That's your sensei, I presume"? The doctor asked teasingly. His smile disappeared when Leonardo kicked him to the ground and pointed one of his swords to Eggman's face.
"I recommend you to stay away from him unless you want your mustache cut, and I will make sure there will be some blood marks when I'm done". He threatened.
"Sorry". Eggman replied. "I can't grantee it". He said before he threw a smoke bomb and he soon disappeared. In his place appeared Orbot and Cubot, who seemed disappointed.
"I knew we shouldn't have accepted this job". Orbot signed.
"Just ignore them, guys". Sonic told the turtles. "They are no threat. Right now, we need to save your sensei. Whatever Eggman is planning with those guys, it's not good for anyone".
"He is back at our lair". Leonardo said. "I don't know how this Eggman is planning to get there, but we will get there first".
Tails then spoke up. "I don't think he is going there". Everyone looked at him, asking for him to explain. "Eggman might be a loser, but he is smarter than we give him credit for. He probably sent someone there while he helps The Kraang with whatever they are planning".
Everyone stopped to think for a moment before Leonardo's eyes went wide. "Guys, I think I know who Eggman sent after Splinter. Or should I say… Shredder sent".
"What are you talking about, Leo"? Raphael asked in a mix of anger and concern.
The turtle leader signed before he said a name that his brothers recognized. "Karai". His brothers looked at him shocked.
"Why would Shredder send his own daughter to take down Splinter, she is no match for…" Donatello was cut by his older brother.
"Because she is not really his daughter, Donnie… She is really Splinter's".
The words that came out of Leonardo's mouth sliced through his brothers' emotions like the world's most sharpened weapon.
"What…? How do you…? How long…"? Raphael was apparently the most shocked about that reveal.
"I will explain later, right now, we've got to hurry". Leonardo ordered. "Get in The Shellraiser, and I will explain on the way".
As the brothers were about to leave, Sonic got in their way. "Do you mind giving us some directions how to get there by foot"?
"You helped us take out some Kraang, and we are grateful for that, Sonic. But, this is our fight. Go on and enjoy your vacation". Leonardo said.
Sonic just signed and shook his head. "If this egg-head got involved in this, it's my fight too". He said before shrugging and adding. "And besides, I don't need a reason to help friends out".
"But… we just met. How can you call us friends after…?" Sonic's giggle stopped Leonardo's speech.
"We fought together, Leo. We have a common enemy. So, are you going to give me directions or am I about to wonder around the city until I find the place"?
Leonardo smiled and was about to give Sonic instructions but Michelangelo beat him to it. "Run in that direction until you reach the 4th turn right. Take that, and you will end up in an ally with a swear hole. Get inside; take all lefts until you will reach there".
"Thanks, Mikey"! Sonic thumbed him up before calling Tails and Knuckles to follow him. Tails followed and Knuckles passed by Raphael.
"So you live inside a swear, huh"? He asked. "That explains the smell that came out of your mouth". As the turtle growled, Knuckles joined Sonic and Tails.
"Let's get this done and over with". Raphael said. "This guy is getting on my nerves".
"Like most people you meet". Donatello added before all got off the roof.
Okay, might be short and not have much action going on but it still advances the events.
In case questions about this will pop up, Splinter, for all we know, only told Leo about Karai. The other turtles don't show any signes of knowing about it and it's never mentioned if Leo told them or not. So, I went with them not knowing.
Next chapter will be up tommorow after some final checkings!
