Thank you Tori657 and anonymous chick for reviewing. You two convinced me to update again. Also, go to my profile and vote on my numerous polls. I need the answers! Also I do not own TMNT. only my OCs. ENJOY!
I do not own Crawling by Linken Park. I was only listiening to it as I was typing and it fits my story.
"Dudes, like did any one get the number of that bus." Michelangelo tried to joke, but failed when he flinched as he touched his arm.
"Come on guys, its not like we can catch up to them now." Leonardo sighed, disappointment with himself clearly written on his face.
"Leo don't blame your self that we got our shells waxed, its not like you knew that it would be so good." Raphael stated. Donatello frowned, well they clearly don't know it was a human. I'll have to see if I can learn more about this creature. As the brothers headed towards the nearest manhole, each was lost in his own thoughts. Man, that thing was fast. Way too fast to be human. I can't believe I let my self be defeated so easily by that. Dude, I wonder why the Shredder would want that, it was so strong! If that thing isn't human, then what the shell is it?
Dark blue eyes slowly blinked open, illuminating the dark around them. As the shape moved it found it's self-lying on cold smooth concrete. As the figure sat up, it hissed in pain clutching its head in one head. Man, I hate tranqs. (Tranquilizers) The figure slowly got to its feet, swaying with the affects of the tranquilizers. Stumbling to the door, the figure yanked at the doorknob.
"Great, I'm locked in and drugged. Welcome to New York, the city of death, Lannie." Lannie spat, slumping down to the floor. "Who am I kidding, I ain't Lannie any more. I'm stupid Zero now." The figure, apparently Zero, growled. "YO, If any one can hear me, know I hate you! You and the Shredder may as well go die in a hole with the rest of your pathetic Foot Clan! You couldn't break me nine years ago, you ain't gonna break me now! Zero yells, hoping to get a response. Even if it was the usual shut up!
"Crawling in my skin, these wounds they will not heal. Fear is how I fall, confusing what is real." Zero begins to sing, if only to break the silence.
"There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface, consuming, confusing. This lack of self-control I fear is never ending. I can't seem to find myself again. My walls are closing in." And with that line Zero's voice breaks. Why did I have to start singing THIS song, it just fits my life so well. Zero growls, and slams its fist against the floor. As footsteps began to approach the door, Zero stands up leaning against the door for support. Suddenly the door is yanked open, and Zero crashes into the brightly lit hallway. Blinking in the bright light Zero flipped over to glare at who ever was laughing at it. Zero felt heat rising to its checks as it realized the dog mutant from earlier was the one laughing at Zero.
"Come, the Shredder wants to see you now." The dog boomed all amusement gone, and seriousness in its tone.
As Zero scrambled to its feet, its hood slid back an inch, allowing a lock of silky black hair to fall out. Zero quickly pulled its hood back up, trying to repair the damage that had been done by glaring. As Zero stalked down the hall, Razar stared in shock at its retreating form. So it is human, then why did Karai say it was a ugly mutant. What is the Shredder not telling me? He quickly scampered done the hall, determined to find out from Zero it self.
"Why do you keep looking at me like that?" Zero snarled, glaring once again at the mutant dog.
"Well I want some answers, like why do people say you are a mutant when you aren't" Razar shot back.
"I am a mutant, I'm faster, stronger, and smarter than any human being here."
"Then why-"
"No more questions from you, now I get to ask some."
"Fine."
"What's your name."
"What! That's your question!"
"Just answer it."
"My name is Chris Bradford."
"Like in that famous martial artist."
"Yes, that's me."
"Okay, now you can ask a question."
"Why does Karai hate you so much."
Zero froze when Chris Bradford asked that question. It was torn between telling him to buzz off, and actually telling him. He was playing along with Zero's game, unlike all the others who had just stormed off.
"Well, that is a little complicated. You see Karai and I were once friends, we were both two of Shredder's special students. Then I got mutated. After I was mutated, the Shredder began to train me separately. Soon Karai grew jealous, and was determined to be better than me. She thought the Shredder thought I was a better student than she was. It was the complete opposite. The Shredder was training me separately, because my mutation had caused me to become stronger. I did not know how to control that strength, hence the extra training. The Shredder was only trying to make me so tired that I would not attempt to us my new strength to escape. So blinded by jealously, Karai attacked me. Long story short, she lost after I severely hurt her. That is why I was in Japan all these years, and why Karai hates me. Karai thinks she is a runner upper. When I am the real runner upper." Did I really just tell him that freely? I am so stupid. Well, it not like Karai wouldn't have told him later on. Zero shot a nervous glance towards Bradford, praying he wouldn't think it was a monster. As Bradford thought about the story, he was shocked that what he had been told was a monster, actually wasn't. By that time, they had both reached the throne room where the Shredder was waiting. Zero took a deep breath and opened the door.
Raphael didn't know why he did it,
He truly didn't.
Why did he just save this ninja's life?
TBC…
