Chapter 14

"Hey," I said as I was being pushed by one of them.

"Shut it," the voice said from behind us. We were blind folded and our hands tied up.

"Raph," I half whispered to him.

"I'm here Alex," He said and leaned in near me.

"Ouch, stop pushing me," I said as someone forcefully pushed me to a truck.

"Get them in to the truck," three of the ninja's forcefully pushed us into the back of a truck.

"Uhhh," I said rolling on my back.

"Hey back off," Raph hissed at them as the door slammed.

"Alex you okay?" Raph said shifting his hands, trying to rip the rope.

"I'm fine, Raph don't try anything…. Let's see where they'll take us," I half whispered to him as I slide closer to him.

"Stay close," He said.

Mikey stretched his arms and yawned sitting up. He looked around the mats.

"Hey Alex," he said looking to my room.

"Come on girl your still not mad about the game are you? How about a cuddle?" he said sliding opened my bedroom door.

"Alex?" he said. He looked at my staff then stepped out the door and looked around.

"Leo, Leo…." He said shaking his brother.

"Go back to bed Mikey," he said to him.

"Leo, Raph and Alex are gone," he said again shaking him.

"Go back to bed Mikey," he said again and shifted around.

"Don, Donnie," he shouted to him jumping over the mats.

"Really Mikey shut up," April shouted at him throwing a pillow at him.

"You guys Alex and Raph are gone," he said.

"Michelangelo shut it," Splinter said throwing a book at him. He grabbed it before it hit him.

"Dad, dad…" He shouted running to him.

Leo and Donnie shifted themselves up off the mats and to the knees.

"Alex and Raph are gone," he said to him.

"Tie them up," a female voice said as Raph and I were pulled through a hanger and forced on to chairs.

"Take it easy," I said as rope wrapped around me.

"Where are we?" I said as the blind fold fell down around my neck.

"What is this place," Raph said looking around. There was a huge number of ninja's in this hanger. It looked like a military hanger, it was large and empty, concrete flooring and metal walls.

"Welcome," Lisa said and came around us to our view.

"My I expected just you Alex, but I got two instead, interesting…" she said and touched her hand to Raphael's face. He moved his face from her.

"I'm going to kill you," he said to her.

"Stop it Raph," I half whispered to her.

"My you're a grumpy one," she said as she turned to a few ninja's near her.

"I can't track her," Donnie said as he tapped on the track pad.

"Shift to the next screen," Nina said as she watched the screens change between cameras.

"Isn't there a camera on the roof?" Vern asked leaning in against the desk.

"No, we didn't bother to install one on the roof," Leo said agitated.

"You have camera's everywhere, and throughout the city and you didn't even think of planting one on the roof?" Vern said again.

"Calm down getting angry won't help," Casey said as he tapped on the key pad as well searching through the screens.

"Alex has a tracking device doesn't she," April asked frantically.

"So does Raphael, they both do, but I can't seem to lock on to their trackers," Donnie said again as he pulled down his head gear over his eyes.

"We'll go to the roof to see if there was anything left there," Yuri and Mari said. Donnie nodded as they left through the door with Splinter behind them.

"Well this is interesting," Lisa said again as she pulled down her hood.

"I'll tell you what, I'll let your turtle friend here watch as I deal with the likes of you….." she said waving her hand to one of the ninja's next to her.

He came to me and cut my ropes then grabbed me by the arm and pulled me towards her.

"Hey, hey leave her alone…" Raph hissed at them shifting his arms around in the ropes.

I looked to Raph and pulled my arms behind my back and tapped on the watch activating my tracker.

"I GOT HER!" Donnie said as a red dot started to blink on the screen.

"She must've activated her tracker," Leo said leaning in.

"89th Brooklyn, an old hanger on the pier," Donnie said tapping the screen.

"Let's go," Leo said as he pulled his katana's to his shell.

"Aki, Nina, stay here with Splinter… be our eyes," Leo said to them. They both nodded and slide over to the desk.

Mikey ran to my room and grabbed my staff and pulled it to his shell.

"MIKEY," Leo shouted at him from the garage.

"I'm coming hang on," He shouted back, he opened my dresser drawer and noticed my black box. It had all my powders in it.

"We might need this," He said to himself grabbing the box.

He ran out of my room and to the garage.

"Uhh," I said and held my stomach.

"Alex, I asked about those gold stars… you lied to me, you said they weren't in the subway station," Lisa said swinging her staff around.
"This is unfair, I'm unarmed," I hissed at her.

"No this is fair," She said and swung her staff at me hitting me in the side. I fell to the ground.

"HEY," Raph shouted.

She leaned over me and pressed her staff against my shoulders.

"You disgraced me in Japan. The monks made you a warrior, a leader, a teacher, you used their methods on us…. You beat me for stealing," she said pressing the staff harder against me. I held my hands against her staff trying to push it away.

"You stole a 100 year old artifact from the temple, it was either me or the monks, you wouldn't have wanted them to punish you…" I hissed at her.

"GET OFF OF HER," Raph's voice bellowed he pulled her off me.

"How did you…." she said and turned on her feet facing us.

"I'm okay," I told Raph as he helped me up.

Raph flexed his arms and turned to her.

"Don't touch her again," He said angrily.

"Turtle," she said holding her staff out at him.

"Raphael, stay away from her," I said to him grabbing his arm.

"Listen turtle, this is between me and her, forget those stars… after I kill her, I'll kill each and every one of you green freaks. Then I'll find my stars," she said coming around us.

I looked around for a weapon or something I could use to defend myself with.

"Ninja's," she said holding her staff up to a group behind us. Raph and I turned, we were attacked by a group of ninja's who came at us.

"Aaah," I said as one of them threw a punch at me.

I held my fists up and kicked one of them to the ground.

"Get out Raph, go get help," I shouted at him.

He threw punches at some of the ninja's that were coming at him. Then he threw them to the air.

"What…." He said and pumped his arms as they hit the ground.

I side kicked one of the ninja's knocking him on his side, and quickly swung around and jumped up tricking the ninja's. I jumped over their heads and to a counter behind them. I noticed a katana there.

"Now who wants to play?" I said and swung around.

"ALEX GET DOWN," Raph said, he jumped at me and pulled me to the ground as the glass roof of the hanger shattered.

"Alex are you okay?" Mikey said near me.

"You guys got here fast," I said pulling myself up.

"Ninja's, and lots of them," Leo said twirling his katanas around.

"Who's the guy in the mask?" Lisa said pointing to Casey in his hockey mask.

"Let me show you," he said and swung a hockey stick to the ground. Mikey slide near him and a puck hit the stick.

"The names Casey Jones, and this is a penalty," he said as he swung his stick at the puck.

"The cop," she said and held her staff up as the puck came at her. The staff vibrated and shot the puck back at Casey.

"Woah," he said pulling his mask to his head, dodging the puck.

"Alex," Donnie shouted at me tossing me my staff.

I grabbed it and swung it with one hand.

Donnie swung his staff around in the air and struck three ninja's knocking them to the ground.

"My turn," Mikey said and swung his nunchuck at the ninja's who tackled him.

"Hey not fair," He said and kicked two of them down. The third was about to pull out a gun at Mikey when Raph ran at the ninja and tossed him out the hanger door.

"Nice bro," Mikey said as they tapped fists.

"Alex," Lisa said as we circled eachother.

"This ends here," I said to her twirling my staff.

"For one of us, but it won't be me," she shouted and ran at me. I ran at her and swung my staff to her feet knocking her down.

"Arugh," she shouted as she landed on the ground. She grunted and looked at me.

"You'll regret that," she said angrily. I noticed her reach for something in a pouch on her waist.

"Don't you dare," I said to her. I lifted my staff over my head and was about to strike her again when she quickly held her staff up at me.

"You, you coated your staff in poison," I said to her noticing purple powder all over her staff.

"For you only," she said and swung her staff around quickly striking me in the stomach.

"Aaah," I said and jumped back. I touched my shirt as a hole formed.

"ALEX," Leo shouted at me. He swung his katana at some ninja's that had charged at him, he knocked them to the wall.

"Stay back all of you, she's got poison," I said to them touching my skin. The poison had cause a small burn on my skin.

"Damn," I said and swung my staff at her. Our staff clanked against eachother with each attack.

"Alex, get out of here, Vern and April are outside," Casey shouted at me as he swung a baseball bat.

I ran at Lisa and jumped to the air. I threw my staff down, but just as I was about to strike her she quickly turn and kicked me in the stomach.

I fell to the floor.

"Damn," I said catching my breath.

"NINJA'S KEEP THEM BUSY," she shouted at the ninja's as some of them picked themselves off the ground and circled the guys keeping them together.

"Know how I said I was going to kill you first," Lisa said circling me. I lifted myself off the ground and to my knees.

"I'm going to beat you to the ground, and then I'm going to kill them," she said hitting me with her staff again.

"Aaah," I said and grabbed my side. My shirt had a large line in it from the poison searing through it.

"STAY AWAY FROM HER," Raph shouted jumping through the air at Lisa.

"BACK OFF TURTLE," she said. She quickly turned, jumped over me and reached into her pouch for some ninja stars.

I jumped to my feet and stood in front of Raph catching my breath.

"Stay down Alex," she shouted at me and swung her staff hitting me in the face. A burn mark streaked against the side of my mouth, my scar was back and this time it burned worse than ever. I touched my hand to my face and moved away from Raph.

"I HATE ARROGANT BULLIES," he said throwing his sai through the air at her.

"Haha, lets see how well your skin holds up to these," she said and threw her four ninja stars at Raph. He held up his sai's in an attempt to block them.

"NOOOO RAPH GET DOWN," I shouted and ran at him. The stars were coated with poison, I was so weak from the poison already searing against my wounds that I could barely focus. I swung my staff in front of me trying to block the stars, but they struck me.

"ALEX," I heard Raph's voice shout at me.

"No, no no, why would you do that, why?" he said again grabbing me in his arms before I hit the ground.

Then I heard a truck break through the hanger.

"THAT'S HOW ITS DONE," Vern said from the driver seat.

"Alex," Mikey said coming to me. The entire place was surrounded by cops and sirens where blaring everywhere.

"Her vitals are dropping," Donnie said as he carefully tried to pull the stars out of my body.

"Donatello, what's going on," I heard Nina's voice through his head piece.

"Nina, we need an ambulance," He said to her.

"No, what happened," Vern said over me.

"Ssstop," I mumbled out.

"Alex, I have to take them out….. we need to contain the poison," Donnie said as he pulled out the last star.

"No, it's too late…" I stuttered out at him.

"The ambulance will take to long, we have to get her home and treat her," Leo said as Raph picked me up off the ground.

"I'll take her," Vern said as they ran to the news van.

"Here," April said opening the back doors.

Raph jumped in to the truck and set me down.

"Her skin, look," he said as Mikey and Donnie kneeled in next to me.

"It's turning purple," Mikey said.

"No it's the poison it's spreading," Donnie said touching a hand to my neck.

Vern got in to the driver's seat.

"Go, I'll meet you there," Casey said tapping on the door.

"VERN GO," April shouted at him.

"HANG ON TO SOMETHING," He shouted to the back of the truck.

I tried to catch my breath.

"No, it's too late," I stuttered out again.

"No, stop saying that," Raph said as he pulled the first aid kit from Donnie's bag.

"Wrap her wounds it may contain the poison from spreading," he said.

"Wait I have something," Mikey said untying my black box from his belt.

"Her powders," Leo said opening the box.

I touched my hand to Leo's getting his attention.

"The poisons, its spreading…. To fast," I half whispered to him. He leaned in.

"What do I do?" he said to me.

"Alex," he said again.

"Red, powder… white," I said tapping on the two viles.

"Is it the same you used on me?" Raph asked leaning over me.

I nodded.

"She used some oil and water," Raph said remembering how I had mixed them.

I think I passed out after that point. My entire body was on fire, the poison had spread quickly and I felt my side, and stomach on fire. My cheek not so much but, every part of my body was in so much pain.

It felt like hours had past, there was quiet, no sound or anything. I kept feeling a cold cloth over my forehead, and a calming voice talking to me.

"Huh," I muttered and tried to open my eyes.

"Alex, you have a fever," Splinter's voice said.

"Is she awake yet," I heard someone else say and my door close.

"No Raphael, not yet," Splinter said to him.

I felt my head pounding, yet I couldn't seem to open my eyes. I was still in so much pain.

"She…. Protected me, I should've been the one to protect her, this wouldn't have happened…." He said to Splinter.

"Son, she did what she thought was best, she's a protector, I know that now…. I can't stop her from that path in her life, she chose this…. It is her path," Splinter said to him.

"The poison has spread, even Dr. M doesn't know what to do for her right now," Raph said again.

"Trust her, she will pull through," Splinter said to him again.

Then the entire room went silent.

"I'm sorry, but you all may have to face the facts, that poison…. I don't know what it is, or its ingredients, and for it to spread this much… " Dr.M said to everyone near Donnie's desk.

"What are you saying…. That she might die?" Leo asked.

"Yes, and you all must be ready for it," the Dr replied again and pulled off his glasses.

"I've tried everything, antibiotics, anti-poison medication, and everything I can think of….." he said to everyone standing up.

"No way," Mikey said, he rubbed his head and turned away from everyone.

"I'm sorry," Dr. M said again as he placed his hand to Leo's shoulder.

"Wait, I have an idea…." Yuri said.

They all turned and looked at her.

"The yellow mutagen she was using before, maybe….. that can stop the poison and help her," she said looking to them.

"There is no more of it Yuri," Leo said and sighed.

"There is," Aki said and extended her hand to Donnie. He looked at my staff resting against his desk and passed it to her.

"She said it was all used up," Donnie said, Aki opened a little well within the staff.

"Here, I remembered her telling me about this in Japan, she had hidden one just incase, she said…" she pulled out the vile and held it up.

"Yes, this could work…." Nina said looking to her sister.

"Donnie, do you think this will work," April said to him.

"Yes, yes it could the molecular structure of its ingredients, could counter the poisons effect…." He said taking it from Aki.

"I thought that mutagen only protected her heart, and healed her wounds," Mari said sliding over towards the desk.

"Yes, it does, but… Donatello might be right, if this was what healed her before it could do the same now," Dr. M said. Donnie took a dropper and dropped some of the yellow mutagen over a sample of the purple powder.

"It disintegrated," he said surprised.

"Let's try it," Leo said.

"Man," Mikey said sitting at the table next to Vern.

"She'll be okay Mikey," Vern said to him.

"I fed her to a dragon man….." Mikey said again. Vern looked at him trying not to laugh.

"She's going to pull through she always does," he said to him again.

"Don't worry Mikey," April said and slid in next to him.

"Hey dad," Donnie said as he came through my room. Leo followed behind him.

"How is she?" Leo said at the door. Nina came through the door as well with a basin of cold water.

"Still asleep," Splinter said. He stood up.

"We have an idea, and we think it might work," Donnie said to him. He and Nina filled a needle with the yellow mutagen.

"I thought there was no more of it?" Splinter said to them.

"She had one hidden," Nina said. Splinter slid out the door.

"April," Splinter said as he came towards the table.

"Yes," she said standing up.

"Will you and Mikey come with me, I need to go out for a while." He said. She nodded and reached for her keys. Mikey sighed and shifted out of the bench.

Hours passed, I heard a lot of voices in and out of my room. At least I wasn't in pain anymore. I couldn't feel anything in my body, no pain, no fire…. I felt normal. I heard a chair in my room shift and squeeze on the floor.

"Alex happy birthday girl…. Kind of a sucky birthday, look I'm so sorry I fed your character to a dragon. I promise I'll do whatever you say from now on," Mikey's voice echoed against my ear. I could feel my head throbbing.

"I'll even clean your entire apartment top to bottom, just don't ask me to make any food… hey Raph's pretty good, he makes great treats," Mikey said then I heard a thud. He probably was leaning on my stool and fell again.

"I'm cool, I'm good," I heard him quickly say.

"Idiot, what are you doing?" Raph's voice echoed.

"Come on idiot let her sleep," he said again. I heard a confrontation then Mikey whining and complaining.

I heard my bedroom door slide open and closed again.

"Hey," Raph was in my room.

"You've been asleep for four hours now, we ordered Chinese food…. Yeah yeah I know it's not pizza," he said but before he could leave, I woke up.

"Chinese, really?" I said to him.

"Your finally awake," He said and turned around. I tried to sit up but I felt sore.

"What's all this?" I said noticing my room filled with balloons and gifts.

"Jee I wonder, it's your birthday isn't it?" He said sarcastically. I tilted my head and crossed my arms.

"Sorry," he said and handed me a box.

"Raph, really?" I said to him and opened it. I was actually rather surprised, it was a set of Japanese chop sticks, they were black with gold lettering on them and a ribbon around them.

"Thanks Raph," I said to him and shifted my feet around to the edge of the bed.

"Oh no you don't! Dr. M said you shouldn't be out of bed yet," He said crossing his arms.

"I'm hungry, you going to stop me?" I said standing up. I stood up to him and crossed my arms.

"Do what you want," He grunted and stepped aside. I smiled and walked around him opening the door.

"Hey Alex, it's about time…" Leo said waving a box in his hand. I smiled and slide over to the bench. I noticed that it was Leo and Raph and no one else in the room. I looked around curious. There were opened empty Chinese boxes on the table and the place was rather quiet.

"Where is everyone?" I said as Leo passed me a Chinese box. I opened it and smelled it.

"So where is everyone?" I asked again, Leo and Raph sat down across from me.

"April and Vern went to work, and Casey's at the station…" Leo said looking to Raph.

"You know you two are really bad liars," I said pulling apart my chop sticks.

"Its 5pm April and Vern aren't at work," I said to them swirling my sticks around in the box.

"Well…." I said again. Raph nudge Leo's arm.

"Okay okay, everyone's….. out," he said again.

I looked up to the both of them and crossed my arms.

"Uh huh," I said.

Raph sighed and pointed to the dojo.

"What everyone's in the dojo? Why?" I said shifting to my feet. Raph and Leo stood up quickly and came around to me.

"Wait, it's not a good idea to go in there right now…" Leo said holding up his hands to me. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Yeah the doc said you need your rest," Raph said quickly too.

"You do realize I have the advantage here," I said pointing to the both of them.

"I can kick both your asses and walk away scott free," I said to them. Leo and Raph looked to eachother and stepped aside.

"Smart," I said and walked towards the dojo.

Leo and Raph followed behind me whispering to eachother.

"We're supposed to keep her out of the dojo…." Raph whispered to Leo.

"Dad's going to send us to the hachi," Leo replied. I stopped and turned around.

"I'm going in to the dojo boys, so whatever is in there better not be slimy, Ted, or anything that will jump out at me," I said to them.

Leo sighed deeply and rubbed his head.

"We were planning you a surprise party, in the dojo…." He said quickly. Raph hit him.

"Nice going," he said.

"That's it, so nothing's going to jump out at me….." I said waving my hands at them.

"Not unless its Mikey," Leo said noticing the green light to the dojo on.

I turned and went to the dojo, the door slid opened. The entire place was pitch black, except for the colored lights draped from the ceiling.

"Seriously," I said and turned around to Leo and Raph.

"SURPRISE," Everyone shouted and the lights went on. I jumped in my spot.

"Hehehe, Happy Birthday doll face," Mikey said pulling his arm around me.

I smiled as everyone came around and hugged me.

"You guys thanks," I said to everyone.

"Girl check this out," Mikey said and pulled me away from April and Casey.

"Woah, Mikey what?" I said to him. He pulled me to a small table with a cake and a punch bowl and cookies.

"It's a cute turtle cake," I said and smiled.

"Hehhehe, yup," He nodded and pointed to himself.

"You made this? Should I be worried to try it?" I said to him. He smiled and shook his head.

"So how does it feel to be 20," Vern asked as I grabbed a drink from the punch bowl.

"No different than being 19," I said to him and laughed.

"What can I say this past year, fought Shredder, ninjas, and footclan members, nearly fell off a roof, got eaten by a dragon, and fought an assassin…. Also nearly got eaten by Ted, yup…. Great year I'd say!" I said to him. He shook his head and laughed.

We celebrated my birthday with the candle on the cake nearly exploding, Mikey ended up lighting the candle from the wrong end and when he put it near the cake the frosting melted. This erupted into an argument between the guys, I laughed at them as they tried to put out the small fire that happened from the candle. At least the cake was salvageable, it was good too; green on the inside with a layer of chocolate frosting, and green frosting on the outside. Not bad at all if I might add.

Then Mikey disappeared for a few moments, and came back in to the dojo. I heard a hissing sound near me.

I turned.

"AAAHHH, WHAT THE HELL," I jumped and hid behind Vern.

"Mikey a snake," Vern said taping Ted's head.

"Don't touch me, don't bring that thing near me," I said to him.

"Why is Ted here?" I said to Mikey. He smiled and put him around his neck.

"He wanted to wish you happy birthday girl," Mikey said holding him up towards me. I hid behind Vern.

"Your not scared of a snake, really?" Vern said petting him. Casey came towards the guys and also pet Ted.

"How long have you had him for?" Casey asked.

"9 months," Mikey chimed and smiled.

April was near the girls and Splinter and heard the guys talking.

"Wait a minute, you mean to tell me I've been coming around here for 9 months and no one told me there's a boa constructor here?" April said nervously coming towards us. I slid away from Vern towards her.

"His name is Ted apparently," I said to her.

"Seriously, this whole time and no one said anything," She said crossing her arms.

"Alex said I could keep him as long as she doesn't see him," Mikey teased.

'Then why is he out now?" I said again.

"Because Ted wanted to wish you a happy birthday," he said again. April and I took a step back.

"I hope you realize snakes eat mice…. And rats," I said and pointed to Splinter.

Splinter looked at me and chuckled.

"Ted won't eat Splinter he knows better then that," Mikey chimed as Ted wrapped around his shoulders.

"Ew, that thing better stay in its cage when I come over," April said.

"What you girls scared of a little snake," Raph teased.

"Little snake?" I said crossing my arms.

"That is a freaking long, large snake, ain't no way I'm coming over anymore," April said sliding away from Mikey.

"Awe come on doll Ted won't bite you," Mikey said holding him up towards us.

"Aaah, no way," I shouted and ran. April followed behind me as Mikey ran after us with Ted.

"Come on he only wants love," he said to us. Everyone laughed at us as we ran around the dojo.

This is how our evening ended. Mikey chasing us around the place with his pet snake, the guys spent the night teasing us and making fun of our fear of Ted, the girls got in on a little fun too and started teasing Mikey about Ted. And believe it or not Splinter took pictures of the whole night's event. This was a great night to remember.
