Plan somewhat Fails
After an hour, Don, Raph and I walk back in the living room to find a very strange surprise.
"There they are," Mikey says. They're in the correct bodies, now, but something ELSE has them now.
"Destroy them," Leo yells, drawing his katanas. "Don't let them escape!"
I draw my weapons with wide eyes. "Donnie, this better be fixable and everything goes back to normal!" I block Mikey's attack and kick Leo away.
"I think it is," Don replies, fighting off his brothers, "but I need some time."
"Then GO," Raph scolds, "Faith and I will handle them. Just GO!"
Don takes off for the lab. Leo tries going after him, but I chain him down. "Oh no you don't, Leo! I'm sorry, I don't WANT to do this but you give me no choice."
"Get her," Leo orders Mikey, struggling to get out of the chains. "Don't show ANY mercy!"
"No you don't," Raph yells, kicking his youngest brother and chaining him. "Don't hurt her."
I sigh and watch with a heavy heart as the two brothers struggle. "I don't like seeing them like this and this..." I cut myself off when I see something in their arms. "The hypnotism's over, but we have a bigger problem." Cautiously approaching Leo, I put my weapons down and look at his arm, seeing a wound resulting from a shot. "I'm not going to hurt you, Leo. I promise." I slowly reach my hand out to his arm, not breaking my courage streak. "If you don't hurt any of us, we'll let you go."
Leo nods and I unchain him, having Leo stand and go to the couch. "Faith, I'm sorry." I smile and go to the youngest, telling the leader and doing the same to him. "I didn't mean to do this."
"I understand, Leo," I say, smiling. "I know that. None of you guys mean to do any harm to your family or friends." I turn the TV off and seeing Mikey play his games. "I also know that you love each other too much."
Donnie comes out soon after and holds up a shot. "Hey, what happened?"
"I don't think they should see another shot for a while, Don," Raph says, sitting on the chair. "Besides, I think Faith helped them already."
Don's eyes widen slightly and the fact that I helped them already showed his confusion. "How?"
"I just talked to them quietly and comfortingly, and I think that helped bring them back to their senses."
Mikey and Leo hound me in thank-you hugs and Mikey nearly chokes me.
"Thank you, Faith," Mikey says, tightening his grip.
"Can't... Breathe," I choke out, Leo prying Mikey off of me which allows me to gasp for air. "Geez, Mikey! You have a strong grip." I rub my throat and hugging Leo back when he gently hugs me and pulls back.
"Thanks, Faith," the leader says, smiling. "We can't thank you enough."
"I think Mikey thanked me TOO much," I joke, chuckling as my breathing returns back to normal. "I don't mind, though. It feels great to have great friends like you guys and I can't be mad."
"Sorry," Mikey apologizes, sitting to my left. "I don't want to hurt you."
I hug all of them, Raph hugging me from behind. "I love all of you so much."
"We love you, too," the boys reply, smiling and letting me go.
"I love you most," Raph whispers in my ear, making me smile.
"I know that," I say, playfully pushing him. "I'm going to the dojo." With that, I start for the training room.
"I'll be in the lab," Don says, going to the lab. Mikey goes to the kitchen and Leo goes to his room while Raph goes to the dojo.
I practice my kicks when I hear Raph's voice speak up. "Need a sparring partner?" while doing push-ups with his sais.
"I could use one," I reply, seeing Raph get up on his feet and put his sais away. "Don't put them away. Today's a weapon on weapon day." I draw my weapon and Raph draws his sais. "You can go first."
"Ladies first," Raph says with a smirk.
"Fight," I hear Mikey say from the doorway, gaining us an audience.
I charge but stop short of Raph's reach so he can't flip me and put my weapon up against his, the 12-inch blade allowing me to push Raph against the wall with minimal effort. "I win."
Before I can get another word out, Raph kicks my weapon out of my hand and pins me to the ground. "I don't think so."
"Double trouble," Mikey shouts as I kick Raph off of me and get up, getting a katana from the weapon rack and just block Raph's attack.
"Very good, Mikey," I say, grabbing another katana and using it to drag my sai toward me so I can pick it up by the handle. "One katana, one sai: a deadly combo of weapons."
"A deadly combo is also a ninja fighting a non-ninja. Ninjas win." I narrow my eyes at Raph's statement and charge.
"A kunoichi is ALSO a deadly weapon against other ninjas if she wants to." I pin him so he can't get up making me win. "Never mess with a kunoichi." I let him up and put the weapons on the rack before helping him up. "Especially a SHAPESHIFTING kunoichi."
When Raph gets up, he pulls me close to him and picks me up, his sweat rolling onto me and my sweat not appearing anywhere on my body. "I wouldn't want to mess with her." Raph carries me out to the couch, gently putting me down and heading to the bathroom to take a shower.
"This is Channel 6 news," the man on the TV says, even though the TV's off, "there was an explosion near the docks on the Atlantic and police found a weird object looking like a turtle shell." I close my eyes and see a t-Phone that Donnie made and a message: Help me.
"June," I say as I see that the t-phone I handed her had a background of Donnie... even though she never saw them yet. "She's in danger."
