A/N: The next chapters are going to becoming from various views, but you should be able to figure it out. I have faith in you.
And no one got the answer! No one was even close! Haha it was in TMNT after Leo gets captured and Raph goes to Master Splinter. Love that scene (I think Leo has the freaking sexiest guy scream ever).
I know everyone is curious as to who Sam is. I am not going to go into any major details. She is someone from the Turtles past, and Leo did something to her that he thinks is unforgivable (as stated in the preview). I will be writing that story next, as a sort of prequel.
And so begins the rescue mission. Haha enjoy!
I do not own TMNT
"Sir, we detected an intruder in the database."
"What!" The man yelled as he spun and faced the informant.
"It was a human female. She was in and out of the system in five minutes, but she did have contact with the turtle."
"What did she say to him?" The man sneered, his temper flaring.
"We tried to retrieve records, but somehow they encoded a virus that blocked out our recording system for those five minutes and they used a previously recorder clip of the turtle meditating."
The man growled in frustration and rubbed his temples. "How long ago did this happen?"
"Fifteen minutes ago. We just discovered that there was intruder."
"Are you certain there was an intruder? That it wasn't just a glitch?"
"Positive."
The man growled again. "Were you able to trace the virus?"
"No, it was embedded in our own code. Someone hacked the system and deleted any trace of where it came from."
"That's impossible!" The man shouted.
"Nothing is impossible, Mr. Stockman." A dark figure hissed, and stepped out of the shadows.
"Mistress Karai, pardon my blunt words, but you really have no idea what you are talking about." Stockman sneered.
"That may be so, but I do know about the turtles, and last I checked there was a genius among them capable of such feats." Karai stepped forward out of the shadows and approached the monitor that Stockman was sitting in front of. On the screen was her former ally and friend, Leonardo. He looked much thinner and paler, dark circles under his eyes. He was sitting cross-legged on a mat in their so called dojo. She gazed a moment more at the screen before turning and walking to the window on the other side of the room. Beyond the glass lay the physical form of Leonardo. He looked nearly the same as the image on the screen, except for the wires and tubes connected to his body, and the large, helmet-like cap covering his head. Karai felt the anger flare in her gut at the sight of him. She should have ended this days ago. She knew that Leo had been suffering, but she had grown impatient with him. He had held on to his sanity longer than she had hoped.
"Chaplin," she hissed at the red head stooping over the keyboard near Stockman. "There has to be a trace somewhere."
"I'll get straight to work on it." He said as he hurried out of the room.
Karai motioned to one of the guards to step forward. ""I am certain that this was merely a decoy. They are coming for their brother. Alert the Elite and Foot soldiers." The soldier nodded and ran out of the room. Stockman opened his mouth to speak, but she held up a hand, and he remained silent. "Stockman, how long until he snaps?"
"I don't know for sure…" he started, but continued when Karai glared at him. "But I'm sure it won't be long. The system is still functioning properly. Those glitches that allowed his brother Raphael to enter the system have been repaired."
"Then how did that girl get in?" She snapped. Stockman flinched at the words.
"I will sit here and monitor the firewalls myself." He said dutifully and she nodded before turning once more to the unconscious turtle.
"You will pay for taking my father away from me." She whispered menacingly to the glass.
"Alright Don, we're in position." Raph whispered into the tiny microphone resting on his cheek. Mikey shifted next to him. Raph knew his brother was as anxious as he was that they were hanging from the ceiling over a mass of Foot soldiers.
"Great. How many are there?" His brother's voice said softly into his ear.
"A whole freaking lot." Mikey said before Raph could respond.
"Damn, they must have found the virus in their system. I knew I should have made that encryption code…"
"Earth to Don, we have a mission to complete? 'Member, brainiac?"
"Right, sorry." He said over the communicator. "Well, if all goes according to plan, we won't have to even touch a Foot ninja."
"Bite your tongue." Raph hissed. "With our damn turtle luck we're gonna have to take out every single one while carrying our brother back to the van."
Soft static was the only sound in Raph's ears for a moment.
"Alright, I need you to get to one of the doors and plug in that transmitter. If you can, April can lock those Foot in and we won't have to deal with them."
"I sure as hell hope that's true Don, cuz there's way too many of 'em." Raph and Mikey silently climbed across the ceiling to the far wall.
"April, you there?" Don's voice was softer, but Raph listened anyways.
"Right here Don." The familiar voice was barely audible.
"Alright, there are two main entrances. Karai is expecting us to use either the main entrance where Raph and Mikey are, or the storage entrance, which is where you are. We'll be coming out that way. Casey and I are on the roof. Sam should be coming on the shell cycle any minute; the connection gave out eight minutes ago. Is Master Splinter connected?" Don asked.
"He's got the headset on but I'm not sure if he is connected." April said a few words that Raph didn't catch. He presumed that she was talking to Splinter. "He says he is trying to find Leo. He says his voice is the only thing getting through."
"Alright, that will have to be enough for now. We're almost there. According to the eregy grid, Leo is being held only a couple floors down from us." Raph motioned to Mikey before he pulled out his wall claws* and leapt to the vertical bricks.
"Hey, brainiac," Raph interrupted. "Will just the wire connecting to the door work?"
Don stopped his monologue and was silent for a moment. "Hmmmm, it should. Do you see the latch on the bottom of the transmitter?"
"Yeah."
"Open that and there will be a little clamp. Just clip it into the wires and April should be able to lockdown the building."
"Gotcha." Raph snapped the small device into place on the wire. "Go for it, Ape."
"Alright…" She mumbled. Raph could hear clicking of keys before a triumphant "Yes! Alright guys, those ninja aren't going anywhere. You have an air shaft on the northeast corner that should lead to the elevator."
"Sweet. Thanks April." Mikey said before he grabbed onto one of the rafters and started swinging to the corner. Raph made sure that the transmitter was secure before following him.
"Hold on, Leo. We're almost there." He whispered.
Leo had been pacing the dojo for the past ten minutes, trying to figure out why Sam of all people had come to him and what she had meant. He had been captured? He needed to break free?
His family was alive? And trying to find him?
Leo felt overwhelmed. A ghost of his past showing up and telling him to trust her? Leo was so confused. How could she have put on that brave face and come to him? Trying to save him after what he had done to her? Why should he trust her if he had hurt her? What if she was lying to him? Trying to hurt him more?
Leonardo.
His master's voice echoed in his mind, and it shocked him. It seemed to be louder than the last times. What had Sam said? Focus on their voices. Leo hastily lit the candles he had knocked over earlier and shut the dojo door, leaving nothing but the soft yellow glow to brighten the dark, before sitting on the mat and closing his eyes.
"Master." He called. Leo focused on each of his family members, drawing memories and familiarities of each of them.
"My son."
"Master, where am I?" Leo pleaded.
"My son, we are coming. Try to break free of the manipulation. Focus on returning to your body. We will need your help."
Leo called out again, but no reply came. He focused his mind, and silently prayed that he could trust Sam.
"They must be here!" Karai shouted. "They would not have invaded the system and then done nothing. Where are they!"
"Right 'ere" A gruff voice said from the doorway. Karai spun towards the door. Raphael stood in the doorframe, clutching one of the guard's throats. "Ain't seen you in a while, Karai, you look a lil' stressed." Raph snickered as he dropped soldier and stepped forward. Mikey appeared behind him, his nunchucks already spinning in his fists.
"Ah, Raphael, it has been a while. I must admit I have been busy with your brother. He is quite a handful sometimes." She smirked, glancing through the glass window. Raph and Mikey's eyes followed hers and she laughed inside when she saw their horrified faces.
It was then she struck. She took Raph down first. She knew he was more dangerous when he was angry, and she knew that sight of his dying brother had struck a match that lit his tank. Raphael hadn't been prepared, and he flew into the wall with a solid smack. Mikey turned his full attention to her and managed to knock her backwards, but she easily regained her feet. Raph was standing and now fighting the remaining guards in the room while Karai dealt with Michaelangelo. She drew her sword, and lunged, but he easily dodged her and managed to strike her leg. She cried out and rolled back to dodge another strike.
"Stockman! Where are my soldiers?" She yelled, drawing out her chain and throwing it towards the orange masked turtle.
"Well, I wouldn't know Mistress Karai."
"Stockman!" She screamed, impatient wit his smugness. Michaelangelo was temporarily distracted by one of the guards that had knocked down his brother.
"Alright! It seems that something or someone has hacked the system and locked your army on the main floor."
Karai shrieked in frustration. "Then how did those turtles get in here?"
"I don't know, Karai." He yelled as he tapped furiously on the keyboard. "But it is going to take a minute to crack their code and reset the system."
Karai growled. "We don't have a minute." She looked at the monitor, then to the two turtles that were coming towards her, their weapons drawn, and then to the unconscious turtle beyond the glass window. There was only one way out now. "Send the termination sequence. Kill him!" She shrieked as she ran to the back door.
* I am so sorry I had no idea what to call these!
