Well, we are nearing the end of WWAC! *sad face* It's sad, I know, but I may or may not make a threequel starring Sukari and Raph's teenage kid. Enjoy!
Sukari woke up with a start to the sound of yelling. After a few minutes, she realized that the voices belonged to Raphael and Slash. She got out of the bed, wobbling a bit, and she walked out into the living room and towards the dojo. She looked in through the door and saw that everyone was in there, trying to separate the two. Slash had his sword out and Raph was clutching his sais with a death grip.
"What Sukari and I do ain't ya business!" Raph shouted at Slash. "She and I are doin' just fine together!"
"Oh, I'm sure!" Slash yelled back. "Tell me, Raphael; how many times has she gotten kidnapped or hurt since you've been with her?! How many times has that deranged blonde man nearly killed her?! Face it; I can protect her better than you ever could!"
"Ya don't think I'm tryin'?!" Raph screamed. "Do ya really think dat I'm lettin' it happen?! Ya damn idiot!"
"Don't you dare defile my honor with insults, you pitiful creature!" Slash shouted with his face red with anger. "You can't honestly believe that she loves you!"
"Fuck you!" Raph screamed, pouncing on Slash, who blocked him with his sword. "Don't ya ever say dat she don't love me, 'cause I know dat she does!" Slash chuckled at Raph as he made his own offensive maneuvers.
"Hard to love two people at a time, is it not?" he said as he tripped Raph. The others watched in anxiety as the two went for each other's necks.
Sukari suddenly ran into the room with her hand raised. Slash suddenly flew backwards to the other side of the dojo and Sukari stood in front of her fallen mate.
"How dare you?" she asked with her voice low. Raph got up and he could see the red rings around her eyes. She gnashed her teeth at Slash as he got up. "How in the hell would you know who I love? Were you here, Edward? Were you the one by my side when I was nearly killed by my ex-fiancée? Were you the one who helped me when I needed a friend or a shoulder to cry on? I don't think so." Slash stared at Sukari in shock at her eyes.
"S-Sukari?" he asked hesitantly. Sukari put her hand up, silencing him.
"I may have loved you once, Edward," she said, "but I'm not the same little girl anymore and I never will be again. She's gone; burned away along with her family. Believe me, Raphael is the only one who can handle me. You don't know anything about me." Slash's eyes widened at her and he dropped his sword. Sukari's glare darkened. "Were you going to kill him, Slash?" Raph looked at her and saw her lips curl into a small grin. "You should know that if you killed him, I would die too. What would you have done then?" She began to walk towards him, slowly. Raj's eyes widened and she ran over to Sukari.
"Sukari, don't!" she said in alarm. "Neither of them was thinking!" Sukari pushed Raj to the side and picked up Slash's sword.
"Are you honestly a fool, Slash?" Sukari asked, raising the sword. She was suddenly grabbed and pulled away from Slash. She hissed and broke out of the other's grip. She turned and saw Ninalia, looking both worried and scared of her little sister. "Dammit, Ninalia!" Sukari growled. "What are you doing?!"
"Making sure you don't do something stupid! You were about to kill your friend, Sukari!" Sukari suddenly let out a chuckle that turned soon into maniacal laughter. Nini backed up a bit, staring at her sister. "Sukari?"
"Isn't that the dragon way?" Sukari asked, her voice having a chilling echo to it. Nini's eyes widened and Raphael walked over to her, only to be stopped. "It's not as if death would be such a bad thing. It would be a dear release, would it not?"
Raj suddenly walked forward and put her hand on Sukari's forehead, making her dizzy. She fell to her knees and Raj continued calming her. After a few minutes, she pulled away and Sukari held her head dizzily. She opened her eyes and the circles were gone.
"W- what happened?" she asked, looking up at everyone and holding her stomach. Raj helped her up and held her.
"You got a bit out-of-control, Sukari," she replied, petting he hair softly. Raph walked up to her and hugged her firmly.
"Baby, are ya okay?" he asked her, rubbing her shoulders.
"I'm fine, Raph," she said softly. "I'm just a bit-," she cut off and cried out, pushing away from Raph and holding her stomach. In unison, Raj and Raph looked down at the floor, seeing the clear liquid puddle where Sukari was standing. They looked up with wide eyes and ran over to Sukari.
"Donny!" Raph shouted. Donny ran over and felt Sukari's stomach.
"Oh my god," he said. "She's in labor." Raph lifted her by her shoulders and everyone followed to the imfirmiry. "Raj and Raph can stay in here, but everyone else needs to wait outside please."
In a few minutes, Sukari was laying on the bed with Raj holding one of her hands and Raph holding her other. She was breathing heavily at the contractions that began. One hit her hard and she screamed in pain.
"I'm right here, baby," Raph said. "Ya gonna be alright." He looked over at Donny with his eyes wide. "Right?"
"Of course she'll be fine," Donny said, positioning her legs for her. "How's that, Sukari?"
"Son of a bitch!" she screamed in response, tightening her grip on Raph and Raj's hands.
"Ow!" Raph cried as his hand popped. "Damn."
"Don't swear around our baby, dammit!" Sukari shouted at him and Raj stifled a laugh.
…..
(16 hours later)
"You're almost there, Sukari," Donny said. "Just one more push. You can do it." Sukari pushed one last time and suddenly felt a great wave of relief wash over her. She heard a baby screaming and she looked up. "My god… Raph it's yours!" Raph stood and walked over to the crying child. Raj followed him, taking the baby from Donny. Donny handed Raph the medical scissors and held up the umbilical cord, smiling. "Here, Raph. The father cuts the cord." Raph did it and Raj proceeded to clean the child off.
"It's a girl," she said, making Sukari smile brightly. Raj finished cleaning the baby and she handed her to Sukari, who was still smiling greatly. She studied the baby. She had a bit of pitch black hair on her head and long eyelashes over beautiful brown, pupiless eyes. She had a small sensitive plastron and a tiny shell on her back. She also had a very small tail that was resting on her thigh. She had two-fingered hands like her father, but three-toed feet like her mother.
"She's beautiful," Sukari said. Raph sat with her and pet his baby girl's hair. "Danielle…" Raph looked at Sukari and smiled. "Danielle… Hamato." Raph looked up at her in mild surprise.
"Why not give her your last name?" he asked. Sukari shrugged.
"I don't know," she said. "It sounds much better than Oruku Danielle." She smiled. "Would you like to hold your daughter, Raphael?" Raph nodded and took the girl from her arms.
Raph stared down at this beautiful little girl and something in his honey eyes changed. Danielle's eyes opened suddenly and stared at the man in front of her. She let out an adorable giggle, showing the tiniest sharp little teeth. Raph's face broke into the widest smile he could muster and he brought the girl up, nuzzling her little face, making her laugh. He held his little girl and kissed her forehead repeatedly.
"Ya probably da most beautiful girl I ever saw," he said, looking back at Sukari. "Save for one of course." He bent down and kissed Sukari passionately. "I love ya baby." He looked back down at Danielle. "And I love you, ya little mini-me."
…..
"She looks just like you, Raph!" Carolie exclaimed as they all sat in the living room.
"That's just because of dragon genetics," Sukari said. "The boys look exactly like their mothers, but with their father's eyes and the girls look just like their fathers, but with their mother's eyes." She then looked down at her hands, remembering the fact that she was damned to forever look like her deranged father. Raph bumped her and smiled, knowing what she was thinking about.
"Well she's gorgeous," Nini said, taking the baby from Raph, being extra careful of her nails. She looked at Danielle and laughed when the baby sneezed. She was just adorable!
"So you guys named her Danielle?" Wren asked. Sukari and Raph nodded and Wren smiled. "That was my little sister's name." She looked up smiling and Nini handed over the baby to her. Wren held her ever so gently and Danielle reached up for her face giggling. Sukari laughed and held out her arms for the baby. Wren handed her to Sukari. After all, Sukari had only got to hold her so far for five minutes, so she was taking her opportunity.
"I really am happy for you Sukari," Nini said, "but you do realize just how powerful this child will be, right?" Sukari looked at her, her eyes widening slightly as she looked back down at her baby. "Not to mention what will happen should the Dragon Council ever find out. They have enough of a problem with half-blood." Sukari glared slightly and Raph looked confused.
"What do ya mean?" he asked. Nini and Sukari both looked at him, and then exchanged looks. Sukari stared at her mate and bit her lip slightly.
"The Dragon Council," she said with a darkened tone, "is what runs the dragon community when they have yet to decide a king or queen. Being that our mother was queen and she's dead now, they are still deciding." She looked over at Slash, who was looking down at his hands. "Slash and I were betrothed and meant to rule, but since that didn't happen, the Council now runs the dragon population. They probably wouldn't have let that happen anyway because of my 'tainted' blood."
"Tainted?" Raph asked.
"Yes," Nini said. "Sukari, being half-human, half-dragon, is considered as a tainted dragon. Only pure-bloods have ever ruled and the Council intends to keep it that way. They've had it out for her since she was born." She looked at Sukari. "That's why they denied my plea for help when our family was attacked. They wanted you destroyed."
"I thought Sukari couldn't die," Raph said. "She took a bullet ta da head and it just weakened her for a little bit. How would they kill her?"
"Dragons are vulnerable to three things," Nini said, "water, fire, and penetration of the heart. Other than that, nothing can kill them. I'm not sure about Sukari, however. She was the most powerful being to ever live," she pointed to the baby, "until she was born."
"Anyway," Sukari said, "if the Council finds out about Danny, then they will stop at nothing to kill her." Raph's eyes widened and he stared at Sukari, horrified.
"They'll kill her?" he asked. Sukari and Nini nodded and Sukari held her baby closer to her. "Why would they kill their own kind?"
"To keep the dragon race strong and pure," Nini said. "Our mother was dethroned the minute Sukari was born, but she only wanted to raise her children, so it wasn't much of a delay for her." Sukari stared at her baby, who had fallen asleep with her tail curled up on her lap. Sukari pet her baby's head and a tear trickled out of her eyes. She wanted her baby to not only live, but have the life that Sukari was deprived of. She wanted Danny to be able to laugh and sing and live in the sun happily. Raph sat next to Sukari and his baby and he held her firmly.
"Dat ain't gonna happen, Sukari," he said. "Even if they do find out, we will never let them hurt our baby. I promise." Sukari looked up at him, and then around the room. Everyone was staring at her supportively and she smiled. She may have lost one family, but a new one was building, and she was happy to be a part of it.

"I ain't doin' it," Josh said defiantly with his arms crossed in front of Bishop. Bishop glared a bit at him before regaining his composure.
"Yes, Joshua," he said, "you are. You will follow this location and infiltrate the turtle's lair, thus gaining Sukari, her friends, the turtles, her sister, and her child. You will do this without question or complaint." Josh slammed his hand down onto the desk and stared at his boss.
"I ain't doin' it," he repeated with gritted teeth. "I ain't gonna be part of dis. Ya can't make me."
"Can't I?" Bishop asked before gripping Josh's throat and dragging him to the door. Josh thrashed and struggled and coughed and choked. Bishop continued to drag him down to the basement. "Why don't we put you in Sukari's shoes?" he asked as he threw Josh against the wall and shackled him there, facing the wall. Josh struggled as hard as he could, but Bishop ignored him, searching for the whip. He found it and walked back over to Josh, ripping his shirt off of him. Josh struggled even harder and pulled against the chains. "Last chance, Joshua," Bishop growled. "Go forth with the plan or endure pain that you never have." Josh looked at him in both fear and defiance, seeing no hint of bluff in Bishop's eyes. He shook his head and Bishop stood, pacing backwards until he was at the proper distance. He reared back and swung.
The pain Josh felt was damn near unbearable to him. He let out a yelp and bit his lip. Nevertheless, he continued to struggle, making the whip hit him in more places than his back. He even took a lash to his cheek, causing a gash that stung like crazy. He finally stopped struggling and took it. He endured every lash, knowing he deserved every one. Not because he disobeyed Bishop, but because now he knew what Sukari had felt every time he did this to her. This pain… no one deserved this. Bishop swung a few more times before he put the whip away and unshackled the twenty-year-old. Josh fell to his side and attempted to push himself up, failing miserably. Bishop snickered evilly and lifted him by his arm, making Josh cry out in pain.
"How are you feeling about it now?" Bishop asked, gripping Josh's arm mercilessly. Josh looked at him and, despite his pain, glared with all his might.
"I ain't gonna… ruin her life… anymore… den you have," he said, still breathing heavily. "I won't do it." Bishop's eyes darkened more and he threw Josh onto his back, causing him to scream out and flip onto his belly immediately. Bishop watched him for a few minutes before turning to the door.
"If this won't convince you," he said, "then I have someone that will." Josh looked up at him. Bishop had said someone… not something. Josh gulped at what that could mean and he tried to get up again, failing.
Bishop left the room and got out his phone, calling a few of the Purple Dragon members.
"Yes, this is Bishop," he said impatiently. "Bring Amy Hart here immediately." With that, he closed the phone and locked the door to the basement so Josh couldn't get out. If Josh was going to back out of something he had started, then his girlfriend would pay the price.
Well shit… Bishop's pissed, Sukari and Raph had the baby, and Amy's getting sucked into the mess. What will happen? Keep reading and find out.
