Chapter 14

Plan B

Andromeda screamed in pain, as someone managed to land on her shell, and locked their arms around her throat.

She bashed herself backwards into the wall, and the guy let her go.

Daphne yelped as someone pinned her down, and she whimpered," Andromeda!"

Andromeda swore as she cut a swath through the ninjas, trying to reach her sister, but they kept coming.

Daphne groaned…she began to perspire as her arms were wrenched behind her.

"No…" she whispered, an unwanted emotion running through her," NO." she said louder, more forcefully, as a memory flashed through her mind…

She was struggling to breathe, the man was choking her so hard…she couldn't move, the shackles prevented her.

She was desperate for air, her eyes widening…

And then, it happened.

All the hate, all the fear, she focused, looking into his eyes, as she glared.

He gasped, choking, unable to draw breath, unable to breath.

He let her go, and she drew breath, but his breath was gone…He would never hurt another person ever again…

The body pinning hers became limp and she quickly bucked him off, scrambling to her feet. Her eyes were nearly red with rage, as suddenly, men began to gasp for breath.

She tilted her head back, channeling her anger, her hatred, her fear and strife, and Andromeda stared," Daphne… DAPHNE!!"

Daphne snapped out of it, as she heard her sister's bellow and suddenly, men began to breathe in again.

Daphne fell to her knees, shaking uncontrollably, as Andromeda swiftly came to her, "Daphne, are you okay? Damn it, answer me!"

"Yeah…m'fine." Daphne responded before her eyes closed.

Andromeda trembled with rage as she picked her little sister up and swiftly radioed Donatello," What going on?!"

"We're okay! Leo and Raphael have your father, and we're leaving now!"

"Copy that! I'm on my way!"

Andromeda raced from the building…

She didn't see the sharp-shooter, take one last aim…

The dart struck her neck.

She sank to the ground.

And lay there, unconscious, as Foot Ninja surrounded her.

***

Horatio nearly choked as he saw Eos and Nerissa and he raced towards them, unable to suppress the gruff tears that spilled like a river down his cheeks.

Nerissa cried softly as she hugged her father, Eos also weeping," Father, oh, father…"

"My father…" Nerissa cried, tears soaking his shirt," Forgive us! We thought you were dead-"

"And so I was…it was you girls, who revived me." he replied tenderly," I was dead. But I am alive…But where are my other girls? Where is Fury and Echo?"

Raphael raised an eye ridge.

"Fury and Echo?"

Nerissia smiled," Andromeda and Daphne. Father, they should be on their way."

Donatello tried to radio them again…but met only with static.

"Maybe they're in need of stealth." Donatello summed up as he suppressed growing worried.

Raphael turned around," You mean they could be in there?! Damn it, Donnie, why aren't they answering? Are they in trouble?!"

Donatello replied, "They haven't radioed for help."

Nerissa groaned," Andromeda is probably too proud to radio for help in any case!"

Eos then replied calmly," Time for plan b."

***

All was quiet in the basement of the building.

Haru hated coming down here. It was dark, damp, and the walls managed to gleam just enough to give an eerie glow.

Yes, he hated coming down here, and cursed his luck for being the rookie go-fer.

As he looked around for the box he had been sent to get, a soft growl rumbled from the darkness.

"H-hello?!" he called out, shaking with fear.

Perhaps he had imagined it.

But he turned and the reptilian eyes of blue fire were not of his imagination.

He fainted dead away.

***

Moving like a ghost, Calypso darted through the hallways. Right now, all she needed was to get to Andromeda and Daphne. If she could wake Andromeda, between the two of them, they should be able to get out of here safely.

As Calypso moved, she paused, as she smelled the female turtles not far from where she stood.

She tensed, hearing footsteps, she flattened herself against the wall, ready to kill, if necessary.

***

Andromeda recovered quickly and gave a sharp yell as she sprang to life, kicking away the men who had been dragging her.

She found she was chained, and her wrath came back full-force, granting her the strength she needed to break her chains. She lunged at her captors and smiled grimly when Calypso joined her in freeing Daphne from her captives.

"What took so long, Cal?"

"I had a date with a superstitious young ninja." Calypso chuckled grimly as she picked Daphne up.

The three mutants swiftly made their way back out of the room.

***

Karai looked at her master.

"Well?"

Shredder smiled grimly.

"Let them go. I have what I want."

Uh-oh... that can't be good...
