"Give it up for your Battle Nexus undefeated champ: Winx!" The announcer shouted at the top of their lungs due to the roars of the crowd overpowering their voice. Kara lifted her head from her defeated foe and raised her weapon, blood dripping from the blade, her eyes scanning the crowd when they came upon a rat yokai around her age, giving them a wink and a grin, making their face steamy red and faint; the crowd becoming even more crazy. Lowering her weapon she walked out of the arena, her grin immediately dropping and retreated the scythe back to it's keychain form.
"Another timmily successful day, my wondrous warrior." Big Mama stepped forward in her human form, clapping happily with a big smile on her face.
Kara said nothing and continued walking while pulling her hood over her head, making sure her body was covered.
"My dear, aren't you going to use your prumpy prize that you wanted so badly?" Big Mama walked beside her placing her hand to her mouth to hide the smirk on her face.
"I left it at home." Was all she said, pressing the button to summon the elevator, walking inside when it opened but before she could press the button for the floor level Big Mama stopped her hand and pushed for her office instead, "I'm having a party in three weeks on the twenty fifth and I need you to be there."
"Parties, galas, bar mitzvah, quinceaneras, or charades wasn't part of the deal; I become your champion for my training and that's it. I don't do parties."
"Oh, but I believe you will make an exception, just this once. You see, you being there will liven up my fimbly party..unless you need another reminder of what I can do." She reached over pulling her cloak aside and resting her hand on her floof, "You know Big Mama doesn't do well with rejection." Her eyes grew cold, clutching the floof making Kara's pupils shrink in fear, her body starting to twitch. She took in a deep breath to calm herself, her shoulders sagging in defeat, "Fine. What do I need to do."
"Excellent! We will start by fitting you in a tim-tam dress that'll surely knock the socks off our attendees." Big Mama giggled and stepped out the elevator when they reached their destination, Kara groaning at her excitement, "Why can't you use real words.." She muttered under her breath.
While Baron was off doing his own thing she was in her room sitting in her hammock bed that was piled with pillows and glanced at her bedside table at the brooch similar to Big Mama's laying on it's surface and went to reach for it but froze and clenched her hand, turning away from it. Having missed so much from her school's Homecoming to Pizza Week, which she was somewhat grateful for due to being the one to ALWAYS work it..but then again her paycheck was the best during that week due to the popularity of her pizza, her boss even letting her take a few pies home for free, there were so many things she missed as a human, so many things she never got to do and now she probably never will.
Her cellphone began to ring, startling her out of her thoughts and she picked it up, caller ID being Big Mama, and with a sigh answered, "What is it?"
"Your dress is ready and might I say it is quite skittery-doo, I'm somewhat pickled at it."
"I'll be there soon." She said with an eye roll before hanging up. When she went to put her phone away she stopped for a moment seeing her background of her and Donnie on their 'date' and soon found herself scrolling through her photos she had taken of her and the turtles, a smile appearing on her face, laughing softly. She held her phone to her chest, closing her eyes and escaping to her memories til her phone pinged that it received a message, "I'm waiting~" the message read from Big Mama. She sighed and set her phone down, her eyes trailing to her bandaged hand and squinted them in distaste, before getting out of bed and making a portal to her office.
"There's the Yokai of the hour." Big Mama stated happily, the portal closing behind her.
Talk. Talk. Talk. That's all Big Mama ever did; parade her around and showing her off like an art piece at the party.
This was the kind of thing she wanted to avoid with her mom; how ironic that she be forced into anyways. Kara mentally smacked her forehead while keeping a polite smile on her face, listening to the Yokai gathered around her converse.
When she felt she couldn't take anymore she excused herself to get a drink only to blink in surprise when a fuzzy butterfly creature flew around her giggling. Her smile grew a little more holding her hand out for it to land and began to pet it, "Hello there, seems like you're at least having fun tonight." She lifted her hand letting it fly off, it giving her a tiny wave goodbye. She sighed while grabbing a drink but when said liquid entered her mouth it took all her willpower not to spit it out but instead back in the glass, "Ugh, what is it? I bet I'm not old enough to drink any of this stuff." She set the drink down and looked around for one of the wait staff handing out finger food and waved to get the bull waiter holding the pigs in a blanket to come to her.
Landing on the roof above the party hall the turtles moved close to the window to get a good look inside and find him.
"Oh, man, I never should of told him our plan. Donnie what are the odds he can pull this off?" Leo ran his hand down his face in annoyance then looked to his brother.
"The guy once broke a pillow sooo one percent? He said overconfidentally." Despite his sentence Donnie's voice was dripping in sarcasm. It wasn't til Mikey grabbed everyone's attention that he looked back to the window.
"Guys, you're not gonna believe this, but Kara's here too!"
All of them squished together in search for her and found her talking to Bullhop wearing a backless, purple, floor length, mermaid gown with sparkling black, and silver glitter and jewels that were made to look like stars, with attached see through black hem from the middle thighs down, with a strap that crossed above her chest and around her neck, it being hidden by her floof, also wearing matching elbow length gloves, light make up, and silver star dangle earrings with her hair wavy.
All of them were gawking at her appearance, watching her laugh at something Bullhop said, this making Donnie grimace in jealousy, til they both parted ways, she popping the finger food in her mouth , her wings floating behind her like a a cloak making her even more radiant in his eyes.
"Who's he talking to?" Raph asked, this getting Donnie to pay attention to the mission at hand.
"I told him earlier that if he touched his ear he could talk to anyone in the world. I was trying to get some work done."
"Roger that, Mr. President." Mikey chimed in, seeming to believe his words.
While Bullhop roamed the room acting the waiter he spotted the henchmen closing the room filled with jars of Big Mama's web goo and locking the door, placing the keys in his back pocket, and walking away.
"I found the keys to the web goo room. Engage."
"Oh, I read his lips, he's engaging. Perfeeeect." The amount of sarcasm in Donnie's voice could power his lab for a month.
They watched Big Mama block his path to the owl henchman and talk with him. Noticing he was getting nervous Mikey placed his finger to his ear, "Bullhop! Don't blow your cover!"
It seemed to have worked for Bullhop kept his cool while Big Mama danced around him and soon a crowd gathered around them, the floor lighting up, and the music switching to something more upbeat.
Kara was by the food table, chewing her food, watching the two dance and seemed surprised at Big Mama's dance moves as well as the bulls, who are prone to being destructive, but was impressed at how precise his movements were. She wasn't the only one though, the henchmen watching beside her and giving them a small side glare til she lifted her eyes in boredom wishing she was somewhere else only to blink when she spotted the turtles peeking through the skylight roof. Raising her brow in confusion wondering why they were here and following their gaze to the waiter dancing with Big Mama then taking a step back when they were getting closer to them, her eyes flashed to the keys he was reaching for.
Their eyes met mid reach and he went to retreat, thinking he had been caught only to blink when she closed her eyes, turning her head away, while popping a piece of shrimp in her mouth only to open them when she heard a thud and looked down to see the owl henchman on the floor, "Looking for scraps?" She asked with a smirk distracting him from the bull. He glared at her while picking himself up but froze midway when there was a crash right behind them and looked to see the turtles crashing the party.
"Well, that's the fast way down." Leo sat up wearing a salad bowl on his head, their appearance making the party guests scream and flee.
"Guys!" Bullhop dropped and lovey-dovey Big Mama, "I got the keys!" Pointing at them and then running off.
Big Mama stood to her feet with a blissful look on her face only to be surprised who to see, "The turtle-boos! Get them, my champion!" She pointed at them but when she turned to where Kara was standing the space was empty with her nowhere in sight so instead she called on her henchmen who charged with pointed talons and claws a like, each fighting the other only for the turtles to roll and be cornered against a wall.
Michelangelo and the bull waiter were teaming together, the bull swinging his head and throwing him the keys off his horn, but Big Mama blocked the door and changed to her spider form and spat her web at Michelangelo, who became pinned to the wall behind his brothers.
"We've got to get out of here!" Donnie stated.
"What about the web goo?" Leo asked.
"We'll get it some other way!" Raph answered.
In a shadowed corner on the ceiling Kara hid, watching the scene unfold, "So, they're after Big Mama's webs? For what though? Wonder if I should report this to Baron."
"Well, you little meddle-doos, it's time for you to find out why you DON'T crash Big Mama's box socials!"
"Wow, she looks mad." Kara smirked, leaning her head against her arm only to blink when she spotted the shiny keys on the ground, guessing he dropped them when he was caught by the web. Looking around the area she began to lower herself and while they were all distracting each other she snuck around them, hiding behind tables and grabbed the keys before sneaking away. She happened to glance at the cowering bull but blinked when he stepped out to face Big Mama and bulk up, his clothes tearing where his muscles expanded, making her mouth open in awe, "Woah." She whispered and snickered when he roasted her dancing but shook out of it going back to the task at hand.
Planting her feet on the roof above them, watching as they were saying their goodbyes to the bull she looked around for a soft landing and when finding a pile of trashbags she dropped one jar down to get their attention and when she succeeded dropped another one.
"Hey, it's more web goo!" Mikey smiled excitedly, picking up the two jars.
"But where did they come from?" Leo pondered while he and the others lifted their head to see a dark shadow with glowing eyes staring down at them, making them scream and back away in fright.
"Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you." Kara called with a heavy sigh, dropping down and setting two more jars down, "You seemed somewhat desperate in getting these." She crossed her arms and turned to leave.
"Wait, why are you helping us?" Leo asked suspicious.
"I'm not helping you so much as getting a little payback at Big Mama. Wouldn't be at the stupid party if it wasn't for her." She muttered the last part having left her weapon and portal gem in her room due to them not 'accessorizing' with her outfit. She opened her wings to fly off but was stopped when she heard Michelangelo's voice, "You look really good, Kara.."
She stopped and turned back around to look at him but smiled while letting out a soft huff through her nose, "You really think so?"
He blinked at her, surprised by her reaction, and nodded quickly while smiling, "Y-yeah! You own that dress!"
She giggled at his response and despite seeing their youngest brother's reaction the others felt uneasy as if something wasn't right. She held out her upper left hand, removing the glove, showing them the burn scar that started at the palm of her hand and wrapped around her arm, stopping in the middle, "What about now? Are you able to focus on the dress now?" Her voice was low watching his expression change from excitement to horror, the others following suit. When he said nothing she put the glove back on, looking away from them, "Yeah, me neither and my name is Winx." She squinted her eyes, feeling a pain in her chest from hurting them, and went to open her mouth but bit her lip instead, flying away before anything else could be said.
Some things are starting to come to light. More will be revealed in the future. Also, anyone else have a better mutant name than Winx PLEASE tell me! Reviews are nice but so are hugs hehe. Til next time!
