Like I said, here is part 6! Before we get started, I want to address 1 thing about Karai as I still get questions about it. She has NO CLUE OR LEAD to the fact that Splinter is her father, the only family she thinks she has is Shredder and since the season 1 finale she is wants to get revenge even more.
As for Leonardo, it always seemed to me that since she saw the turtles trying to kill Shredder, she started hating him just as much as the other 3 and with the interactions they had so far in this season, it doesn't seem like she gives him any mercy points. Leo also seemed to get over her after he found out she is "Shredder's daugther". Bottom line, they are enemies who might have something going on between them in the past but as of now, they are against each other, no romance involved.
So now that we are done with this explanation, let's get to the chapter itself!
Meanwhile, April and Casey stood one in front of the other in what appeared to be a dojo with a giant tree in one side of it.
Both bowed down to each other before attacking one another. April punched Casey's stomach and he managed to counter with a kick to her leg. She rolled away from him and got out a black tessen which was made of metal. Casey smirked and got his hooky bat in his hand. April throw her weapon at Casey who ducked just in time, he got up to mock her only to be hit with the returning fan. The ginger ran up to him, grabbed the tessen and managed to surrender her friend by dropping him to the floor and grabbing his hands.
"Impressive, April." A giant brown rat which had some white markings on his fur said. He wore a large red robe and walked around with a cane. "You are improving".
April looked at the rat and smiled. "Thanks, Master Splinter".
"Your friend, however" He pointed to Casey on the floor. "Still needs a bit of a practice".
Casey got up and signed. "Just don't tell this to Raph. He won't leave me alone if he will hear it".
They all laughed at this when they heard someone coming in. They all left the dojo and made it to a place that looked like an ordinary living room, with a TV and everything else. "About time the guys came back". April said. "I was starting to get worried".
"You should be worried". Said a voice that the yellow wearing girl knew as bad news.
In the entrance to the lair, stood Karai with her sword pointed in the direction of the 3. "Just give me the rat and you won't get hurt".
Splinter's eyes got bigger with fear. After he discovered that Karai was his daughter, he tried to distance that fact away from him. But now she was here, in his home, claiming to kidnap him.
"Well, you have to go through us". April said as she got into a fighting stand. "Ready, Casey"? She asked the boy who got his hooky stick out.
"You still think you can take me"? Karai asked in a mocking voice.
"I did it twice".
"One time was a cheap shot and the second time you had the turtles helping out, and they are not here now".
"But the hedgehog is"! Another voice sounded before a blue blur pushed Karai to the ground. The blur was revealed to be Sonic. "And I'm supposed you heard of me as well"? He asked while fixing his glove.
April and Casey were shocked to see the hedgehog there. "How did you found this place"? Casey asked.
"We will catch up later" Sonic told them. "You 2 protect Splinter, I will handle her"!
"Why do we need to protect him? He can handle…" But before April could finish, the hedgehog screamed at her.
"I will explain later, just go"!
The group got back inside the dojo and Sonic turned to face Karai who just got up.
"So, you are as fast as people say". She said.
"Well, I don't want to brag but…" His words were cut short when the ninja held her sword up his nose.
"Don't get cocky with me, hedgehog. You are not going to stop me from getting that rat"! Karai said in determination.
Sonic smirked at the girl and gave her an amused look, and in a matter of a split second, he disappeared from where he was and was now behind Karai. "You will have to catch me first".
Karai swung her sword at him, but he vanished again. "You are too slow"! He told her in a teasing manner as she continued to swing her sword at him, only for Sonic to vanish every time.
After Karai seemed to tire out, Sonic noticed an opening. "Here is my chance"! He ran a few rounds around Karai before kicking her legs, causing her to fall to the ground.
"Tails, Knuckles. Now"!
Knuckles came in quickly and tackled Karai to the ground while Tails tangled her up using his tails.
As soon as Karai was down, the turtles made it to the lair.
"Booyaka… Oh, man". Michelangelo signed. "You didn't leave any action for us".
"Guess you are too slow". Knuckles teased, especially Raphael whose face was just as red from anger as his bandana.
April, Casey and Splinter then came out of the dojo.
"April"! Donatello screamed as he ran towards her. "Are you okay? Did she hurt you"? He asked her nervously.
"I'm fine, Donnie". She answered with a smile that caused the turtle to blush.
"I'm glad to see that you were worried about me, my son". Splinter addressed the turtle.
"Of course I was, Sensei. But…" He tried to get out of it without insulting the rat "I was worried about all of you". His blush just grew bigger from embarrassment.
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles looked at him with wide eyes as the other 3 turtles made their way towards Splinter.
"Yeah that does happen a lot". Leonardo answered before addressing his sensei. "Are you alright, Sensei"?
"I'm fine, Leonardo. Thanks to those friends you seem to acquire".
Knuckles then noticed Karai struggling to escape Tails' tails. "You aren't going anywhere, girly".
In a quick motion, Karai managed to free one of her arms and throw a smoke bomb, distracting Tails, Knuckles and also Sonic who tried to stop her from doing so.
The ninja then appeared near the turtles and managed to take them all down quickly as they weren't ready for her. April and Casey couldn't stop her as well and she eventually stood in front of Splinter.
The ninja master could have fought back, he could have handled her no problem… if she weren't his daughter.
Splinter did nothing to protect himself from the teenage girl kicking him in the head, grabbing his hands and throwing another smoke bomb.
Once the smoke cleared everyone noticed that Karai wasn't there anymore. And neither was Splinter.
"Sensei"! The 4 turtles screamed in horror.
"Tails, what happened"? Sonic asked his friend.
"All I remember was that she managed to get a smoke bomb, once it cleared I noticed that my tails didn't hold her."
"Great"! Raphael screamed. "They succeeded in their supposed mission. They kidnapped Splinter because they knew he won't attack his own daughter". He slammed his fist into a Shredder punching bag that was in the lair.
"Karai is Splinter's daughter"? April asked in horror.
"Welcome to the club". Michelangelo told her.
"Okay, everyone listen up". Leonardo started talking. "We know for a fact that they could take Splinter to 2 places. He is either at TCRI or The Shredder's lair. We would split up into 2 groups, one for each hideout".
"I am on April's group"! Donatello screamed with his hand in the air, causing everyone to look at him. "I mean… if it's all right with you, Leo". He giggled in embarrassment.
"Not so smooth, Donnie". Michelangelo commented.
"Turtles, we are going to Shredder's. April, Casey, you go with Sonic and the guys to TCRI". Leonardo ordered before turning to Donatello. "Donnie, give them a TPhone".
"No need". Tails popped up. "I have my Miles Electric". He pulled a wide yellow device. "Just give me a number and we will be able to call you".
Donatello gave Tails the number before Sonic suggested. "Should we get the Chaos Emeralds from The Tornado? They could help".
"What is there to lose"? Knuckles asked.
And with that, the teams split up
Cliffhangers a go!
I'm going to answer this before anyone asks. Based on the season 1 finale, Karai has a basic idea on where the turtles lair is. That's how she got there.
I always thought that now when Casey knows about the turtles, Splinter might train him as well as April. Nothing is official on that yet, just something I thought I can add.
See ya next time! Please review!
