Chapter 31

Samurai

Mars paused, silent as the grave, his grey eyes never leaving the building as he growled slightly," This must be it. Perfect cover," he noted the condemned signs posted all over the property," No one would want to approach a building that's supposedly past being condemned."

"Dude! Psst!"

Mars whirled around and relaxed slightly as he saw Donatello, as well as three others.

Donatello quietly greeted," Hey, Mars, these are my brothers, Leonardo, Raphael and Michelangelo."

"Greetings. Leatherhead has told you everything?" Mars asked bluntly as he returned his gaze to the building.

"Yes." Nerissa suddenly appeared.

He jumped slightly, smiling faintly," that's some ability you have, Nerissa."

"It helps." Nerissa shrugged.

Mars warned," I've been scouting the area. They have a patrol. It's inside the building. From what I can tell, there's four guards, armed, of course, and they circle the building's interior, one corner at a time."

"Mars what do you know of the super-soldier? Are there more?" Donatello asked quietly.

"I do not know." Mars growled under his breath as they turned their gaze back to the building.

Nerissa's jaw tightened as she proposed," Let me go in and scout around. I'll take one of the shell-cells so I can communicate with you guys."

Leonardo protested," Nerissa, you can't just-"

"Oh yes I can, Leo, and you can't stop me! Damn it, those are my sisters in there! I'm not going to abandon them!" Nerissa snapped.

Leo snapped back," I never said we'd abandon them! Besides, if Bishop knows about YOUR ability, he'll be expecting that!"

She took his face in her hands, looking him in the eye as she asked slowly," Leo, do you have a better idea?"

Leonardo took her hands and removed them from his face, but he didn't let go. He nodded," yes… I have a better idea."

He picked up his shell cell and quickly made a call.

"LH, what's your status?"

***

Andromeda was angry. No, that was an understatement. She was FURIOUS!

She was straining against her bonds, roaring, as Daphne mocked," You're such a loser! We're all probably gonna die and you can't do anything about it!"

Suddenly, Andromeda's eyes flashed like electricity. Her roar sharpened to a scream of pain as chemical reactions in her body caused her pain beyond belief. The metal bonds snapped like plastic as she tore through them, snarling, she crouched and sprang at Daphne, who squeaked," Andromeda! Look! You're free! You're free!"

The strong hands wrapped around Daphne's throat, before Andromeda blinked, seeming to deflate just a little as she dully observed," I'm going to get you back, Daphne… but thanks. Somehow, I don't have the stomach to bust you up, like I should."

Daphne chuckled nervously," Er, no problem! Now let's bust outta here!"

"Very impressive, Ms. Munroe. Maybe you aren't as empty-headed as I thought." Bishop observed coldly.

Daphne stuck her tongue out, when she realized," oh snap… that drug that made Andromeda useless is in me, isn't it?"

"Yes."

"EEK! Ew! Ew! Ew, ew, ew!" Daphne did a sort of all-over-shudder dance, while

Andromeda snarled," You threatened my family… you've threatened my friends… you bloody mongrel, I'm going to kill you!!!"

She raced forward, snarling like a rabid wolf, when she was suddenly blindsided.

Stumbling to her feet, she screamed as a masked man wrenched her arm back, and kicked her from behind, sending her crashing into the wall. She rebounded to the floor, groaning in pain.

Daphne squeaked," Andromeda!" rushing to her sister's side.

The ninja started laughing coldly," This is amazing! I'm invincible!"

Andromeda staggered to her feet, breathing heavily. Daphne let her lean against her and looked up in a panic as Bishop commanded," Agent Anaeas, please take them out… but do not kill them."

"With pleasure." The agent laughed diabolically as his eyes became red. Andromeda keeled over, gasping, clutching her chest, her eyes dilating.

Daphne screamed in horror. Strangely, nothing was happening to her.

She looked up and her eyes glowed red. Bishop gasped, clutching sat his chest as he realized something very, very important…

***

Mars kept very, very still, as he waited for the sentinel to come before stepping out, whacking the agent long side the head with his harpoon. As the agent went down, Mars swiftly searching the man's body for an security pass card… or something!

He grumbled as he slung the man over his shoulder as he turned to check his surroundings… the next sentinel was ten seconds away from making this round.

"Heaven's name…" he muttered as he looked for cover.

The agent paused as he looked around. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched… but then again, there WERE security cameras around the place. He shook his head as he continued his rounds.

Mars breathed a sigh of relief. He had been hiding behind the agent the whole time. He looked around before carefully making his next move.

***

"Okay, okay, maybe this was a better idea," Nerissa grumbled as she, Don and Leo met Leatherhead under the streets.

Leatherhead informed them," I've already discovered an opening from below."

"Good. Let's go." Leo growled, determination in his voice.

***

Raphael and Mikey watched from the shadows Mars rejoined them, chuckling," All the agents are down… they should be coming out any minute to investigate."

Raphael cracked his knuckles," We'll be ready for 'em.

***

Sybil was sound asleep, when four agents walked into the room. Eos banged on the glass," Hey! What's going on?!"

The four agents ignored her as they walked to a small computer outlet and typed some commands into it.

Eos' cage became mobile, as did Calypso's cage.

Calypso snarled," What are you doing?!"

Sybil yelled," Hey! Where are you taking them?!"

The agents ignored her as she pounded on her prison walls," Hey! HEY! HEEEEYYYY!!!!" she shrieked. The sound was like nothing Eos had ever heard before but one thing for sure… it hurt.

Sybil gasped as the agents keeled over in pain, and she gritted her teeth as she threw back her head and screamed. Not even a banshee could have sounded so shrill and horrific.

Eos cried out in pain as she attempted to cover her ears.

Sybil stopped short as one of the agents pulled out a gun and shot a tranquilizer dart at her. She pulled it out, slurring," M'sorry…" as she passed into oblivion.

"Sybil!" Eos screeched, now thoroughly angry.

Suddenly, from above, there was an answering cry. It was the sound of a young man, screaming in rage and pain.

***

"Don, can't you work any faster?!" Leo demanded.

"I'm trying! I'm trying!" Donatello responded as he hacked into the computer network from a power outlet. Leatherhead tossed the security guys into the trash-chute as Leonardo looked over at Nerissa," You ready?"

She gave a diabolical chuckle," What do you think?"

Donatello's eyes widened and he announced," Okay, there's a few problems we're going to have to take on. First problem, Andromeda and Daphne have been drugged with a substance that makes the chemical reaction in their systems that-"

"Donnie?" Nerissa warned.

"Basically, Andromeda and Daphne can't access their powers. Eos is not drugged, but they're moving her and Calypso to the room where Andromeda and Daphne are for unknown reasons. And the second problem is this; so far as I can tell, there's a whole squad of the super-soldiers that Mars told us about. They're, at the moment, accompanying Eos and Caly."

"Any other problems?"

"Well… Sybil Deluge is also being held here."

"WHAT?!"

***

Daphne blearily opened her eyes," Ugh, what the hell happened?!"

Andromeda responded bluntly," You attacked Bishop, but that creep, Anaeas, did something to stop you from killing the creep. I don't know what though, on account of I passed out from what he was doin' ta me."

Daphne sniffled," D'ya think the guys will get here in time?" her eyes watered and she bawled," I MISS MY MIKEY!!!"

"Cut it out, you fluff-head, even if they DON'T find us, that doesn't mean WE can't bust outta here someway. Lessee, they drugged me again while I was out, so that drug is still pretty strong in my system… but if I can just get angry enough-"

"Do it, and you'll have the death of your sister and your friend on your hands." Bishop's cold voice broke into her rambling.

Andromeda shouted," Eos! Caly!"

Andromeda was unbearably pissed to see her sister in the clear, tubular cage, being carted like some sort of Zoo-animal.

Well ain't that ironic? We started off at the Zoo, and now we're back to it in so many more ways then one! Andromeda's thought broiled within her as Bishop continued," I have no qualms about killing the crocodilian, and while the ability to defy gravity is amazing, I will gladly sacrifice it in order to control you, Andromeda."

"FUCK YOU!" she snarled.

"Much better." He chuckled as she glared at him.

Eos saw her sisters, strapped down to the table, and yelled," Andromeda! Daphne! You're alive!"

"Not for long!" Snarled Andromeda as Bishop countered," oh, but you will live… so long as I can use your DNA."

Daphne sighed," Seriously, don't you have anything BETTER to do?! I mean, honestly, this whole power trip thing is already old!"

Calypso was seething as she glared at Bishop. He noted it and smirked," I suppose Leatherhead told you about me?"

A low growl was her only response. There was NOTHING hidden about her expression this time.

***

Mars finished off the remainder of their attackers as Mikey hopped into the secret entrance, yelling," Dudes! Come on!"

Mars and Raphael both leapt into the hidden elevator, which took them down to the hidden base.

Raphael grudgingly commented," I gotta hand it to ya, Mars, you're a hell of a fighter."

Mars chuckled as he looked at his bruised fists," I had a good teacher."

Raphael looked down at his own wrists, realizing that his bruises didn't show up as easily, since his skin was darker then Mars'. It was weird.

Mikey grinned as the elevator dinged and dramatically declared," Welcome, gentlemen, to the bowels of the blackest pit of hell that ever- OW!"

Raphael whacked him over the head and snarled," Shut up already! We got some damsels to rescue!"

Suddenly, they heard it. A low, ethereal voice rang out, soft and alluring.

Ay, yi, yi,

Ay, yi, yi

Ay, yi, yi

Where's my Samurai?

Mikey gaped," That's Sybil! The chick with the album! That's her!"

Mars had heard that voice before as well… on the radio. Something, something caused him to snarl with rage as more agents came into his line of vision and he let loose a roar as he whirled his harpoon, charging forward into the cross-fire….

***

"I've been searching for a man, all across Japan,

Just to find, to find my Samurai,

Someone who is strong, but still a little shy,

Yes I need, I need my Samurai!

Sybil had never felt this way before. Her longing, her desire to be a part of something, to stop hiding who she was overtook her, as she threw back her head and sang out,

Ay-yi-yi

I'm your little Butterfly!

Blue, Black and Green

Make the colors in the sky!

***

Mars heard the plea. And in his heart, something responded to that plea.

"I'm your samurai." He murmured, hardly aware of the words coming from his mouth as he raced away from Raphael and Michelangelo.

Mikey stared," Dude, I think he just went off the deep end!"

Raph roared," Mars! We have to stick to the plan!"

Mars no longer heard anything but the call of the siren.

Ay-yi-yi

I'm your little Butterfly!

Blue, Black and Green

Make the colors in the sky!

She couldn't explain it. There was a sort of energy that flowed from her voice, a calm that settled in the pit of her stomach as she suddenly heard the sounds of running and loud, explosive gunshots. This did not trouble her, as she declared,

I've been searching in the woods, and high upon the hills

Just to find to find my Samurai

Someone who won't regret, to keep me in his net!

Yes, I need, I need my Samurai!

Her voice rang out as she sang

Ay-yi-yi

I'm your little Butterfly!

Blue, Black and Green

Make the colors in the sky!

Ay-yi-yi

I'm your little Butterfly!

Blue, Black and Green

Make the colors in the sky!

***

Mars couldn't explain it. As the words reached his ear, they fueled his rage, his curiosity and his longing.

Could she be?

He snarled as he flew down the hall, bringing down any in his path. He had no heeded the cries of his two companions, nor did he heed the yelps and screams of pain of his attackers. He had to get to her.

Her voice suddenly rose, like the soprano of an angel. It seemed that his attackers suddenly grew reluctant to stand in his way… while his desire to GET THERE FASTER NO MATTER WHAT only seemed to grow.

He was knicked, bruised and bleeding, but he hardly knew it as her voice began to grow louder.

Ay-yi-yi

I'm your little Butterfly!

Blue, Black and Green

Make the colors in the sky

Ay-yi-yi

I'm your little Butterfly!

Blue, Black and Green

Make the colors in the sky!

Ay, yi, yi,

Ay, yi, yi

Ay, yi, yi

Where's my Samurai?

Ay, yi, yi,

Ay, yi, yi

Ay, yi, yi

Where's my Samurai?

Sybil gasped, out of breath and jumped, as the door slammed open.

Several bodies flew through the door…

And then he stood there.

Sybil's eyes widened.

His own eyes were clouded at the moment as he threw an attacker over his shoulder, ramming the offender into a second and third and fourth attacker.

He managed to take care of the last few, before turning to her.

"Are… are you Mars Inferno?" she whispered.

He stared at her, suddenly awed, as his cheeks flushed reddish, like fire.

"I am… I… I have been…" his tongue cleaved to the roof of his mouth. Suddenly, like waking from a dream, he swiftly set her free and gave her his hand," I'll get you to safety! Stay behind me!"

"O-Okay!" she cried out, breathless as he led her out of the fire…

***

Without warning, Eos' cage opened. Eos blinked before using this to her advatange, shooting out, she set Andromeda and Daphne free. Calypso's cage was also unlocked and Bishop snarled," Secure them!" unable to understand how…

He was suddenly socked, full in the face by an invisible fist, kicked in the gut before he could back away.

"Who's there?!" he yelled, taking out his gun. It was stabbed by a Chinese star as Leonardo appeared.

One of the super-soldiers was taken by surprised as Raphael blindsided him, freeing Andromeda he had been restraining.

Andromeda screamed," It took ya long enough!" as Raphael defended her from an attack.

Bishop gasped as invisible hands wrapped around his throat. Snarling, he broke the hold, and heard a sharp cry of pain. A fourth female appeared in front of him, holding her wrist. He smirked as he trapped her, his arm around her throat, and a pistol pressed to her head.

She gave him quite a scare, however, when she phased through him, the bullet passing through her body without leaving a scratch on her.

"Come on! Andro! Eos! Daphe and Cal!" Raphael roared as he sent several Chinese stars towards the super-agents.

The four responded, bolting out of the room, Andromeda snarling," You guys had BETTER have a plan!"

"We do! We got to get out of here!" Raphael responded with a snarl.

"Where's Don?!" Eos squealed.

It was at this point in time, that Bishop had noticed that Donatello was not among the rescuers.

But at this moment, Nerissa sprang backwards, out of the room, and sealed the door, phasing her hand through the door and grabbing as many wires as she could.

"Hmm, this feels important!" she chuckled as she yanked the wires, tearing them out.

The door started to get impacted by several super-soldiers and Nerissa turned around, racing after her family.

Shortly after, the door was blown off it's handles. The four super-agents raced after the escaping mutants.

***

Mars snarled as he waited for just the right moment before pouncing.

"ARGH! Mars, you idiot GET OFF ME!"

Raphael snarled as the sea-turtle chuckled, "Sorry, Raphael."

"No yer not!" Raph growled.

"Stop fighting! How do we get out of here??!" Eos blurted.

"This way!" snapped Leo.

The sound of pursuit was growing louder.

Mars looked behind him as the others disappeared around a corner. He looked back at the pursuers and growled," I have seen her. That is enough."

***

Don was finishing up his work as Eos burst through the door, blurting," Don! We got company! How do we get outta here?!"

Don pointed to a huge hole in the wall.

She gave it a funny look.

"Um… okay, I'll take it!"

She bolted into the hole.

Calypso saw the hole and demanded," Leatherhead where are you?!" as she raced into the hole.

The others all raced into the tunnel.

Sybil suddenly skidded to a halt as she blurted," Where's Mars?!"

Leonardo turned around.

"You guys go on! I'll get him!"

"Leo, Hurry!" Donatello yelled.

Leonardo bolted through the hole again, not about to leave anyone behind.

***

Mars groaned as he was beaten down.

Blood gushed from innumerable wounds, and suddenly, the blood flow to his heart halted.

He gasped, choking as the super soldier made his way to the turtle, eyes glittering," You mutant scum, you are going to die!"

Mars felt his world grow dark… though, he thought he could hear her voice, calling his name…

"Join me!" Mars suddenly growled as he threw his harpoon. It pierced his mocker's heart.

The Sea-turtle smiled before sinking into oblivion.

***

Sybil wouldn't listen as the others tried to drag her back. She bolted through the hole and followed the blue-masked turtle, who's name she didn't know. She raced after him, her breath tearing from her lungs in gasps.

She stopped short as she saw what now befell Leo's eyes.

She whispered," No… Mars! Mars Inferno! Mars!"

The four super agents, indeed, all who heard her, cowered as she threw back her head and let loose a shrill, super-sonic scream that cracked glass.

***

Leo howled, as pain ripped through his head.

He gritted his teeth as he whirled around. By this time, Sybil had stopped screaming.

Raphael snarled a black tapestry of profanity as he raced from behind her and he and Leo quickly grabbed the fallen turtle.

"GO! GO!" Leo yelled furiously.

Sybil ran before them, as Leo and Raph carried the dead weight between them.

"Ugh, he needs to lay off the desert!" Raphael snarled.

The two turtles managed… JUST managed to make it to the Hole…

Before the entire base blew up.

Well, like? hate? review! also, i don't own the song, Butterfly, it's from DDR. lol, that's all

WAIT! that's not all! i stole the idea that Sybil has power in her voice from Falruza Black! *blows kiss* Thank you, Falruza!! ^_^*
