I wanna play now, lol. *bounces up and down excitedly*

[-Savannah-]

Okay! Uh, I guess I'll start... :D

A loud, yet tame noise came from the concert hall, playing notes for the song "For a Moment Like This". A feminine voice rang through out the audience, strong and sincere, singing,

"What if I told you it was all meant to be?
Would you believe me, would you agree?
Its almost that feeling that we've met before so tell me that you dont think Im crazy when I tell your love is here and now.

A Moment like this.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.
Some people search forever for that one special kiss.
I cant believe its happening to me.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this..."

It was the inspiring voice of Cherice Toran, and her band. The audience whooped and hollered, swayed along with the music.

[Garou]

((Hope it's alright, I bring Angel into this one too... If not, I'll just edit the post))


"I can't believe you dragged me into this," Raph growled at the feline.

"What? She's really great, I had to hear this," Angel replied, looking down on the scene from their small spot. Raphael sighed, looking at his surroundings.

"And you had to pick a spot just above the scene?"

"What, wanna sit next to the audience?"

[Lioness-Goddess]

((Hmm...why would Leo be at a concert...*shrugs* dunno. Improvise! :lol: ))

Leo sighed and leaned against the wall, partially hidden by shadows. He had meant to just check around the city and make sure everything was okay, but then he heard this girl sing. She was really good.

[-Savannah-]

-I'm just going to use a few songs that already used by famous singers, becuase I can't write songs :P -

Cherice finished a "A Moment Like This" slowly and let the audience appluade. "Thanks everybody!" she said into the mic, "This next song goes out to all you girls!"

A guitar was heard in the background, an exciting beat went out the speakers. Cherice started to sing,

"This one's for all you girls about thirteen
High school canbe so rough, can be so mean
Hold onto, on to your innocence
Stand your ground when everyone's giving in

This one's for the girls..."

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha smiled at Cherice and the audience. She closed her eyes and held the microphone closer, singing after Cherice.

"A Moment like this.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this.
Some people search forever for that one special kiss.
I cant believe its happening to me.
Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this..."

As soon as she finished, she reopened her eyes and awaited the next chourus.
~*~ (Now why would Mikey be at the concert?? Heh...guess he was bored playing games all day long... :lol: )

Not far from Leo, Mikey kept to the shadows and leaned against the wall, listening closely to the band as they sang. The orange cladded turtle nodded, a smile on his face. Not bad... he thought.

[-Savannah-]

-Whoops! My post happened AFTER TFF's last post! :oops: -

[Garou]

Not far away, a lone ninja sat next to a large spotlight. Eyeing the singer, he grabbed a small walkie talkie in his belt.

"Roger. I see two," he announced, awaiting his next order.

"The others can be close," the dark voice responded, "Wait for the signal." The ninja placed the walkie talkie back in it's holster, smiling to himself. Who would have guessed, that their arch enemy would hang around to a concert?

Suddenly, all lights died, leaving the room black. The ninja jumped from his spot, landing beside Cherice. Quickly, he grabbed the singer from behind, holding a hand over her mouth so she couldn't scream for help. Before dragging her away, he threw a blade with the Foot logo on it. He ran through a hidden passage, and as soon as he was gone, the lights went back on, revealing an empty stage.

*

"What the-" Raph exclaimed, when the lights suddenly went out.

"She - she's gone!" Angel gasped when the light returned, "What happened?"

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha blinked a few times, adjusting to the light. She scanned her eyes over the stage, noticing Cherice wasn't there, she let out a startled cry and ran off the stage, bumping into Michaelangelo along the way.

"I'm sorry, sir..." she started. She stared at the guy. Most of his body was covered in the shadows.

"It's all right," Mikey smiled at the girl.

She started walking away from him, when Mikey grabbed her by the arm. "Please, let me go! I have to find my friend, they might be hurting her right now!" she begged.

"At least let me go with you. I could be of some help..."

Marsha nodded, looking around as the audience had started their leave. "Okay..."

[-Savannah-]

"She - she's gone!" Angel gasped when the light returned, "What happened?"

Cherice squirmed, trying get get away. She tried to kick and punch the ninja but failed. "Let me go she mouthed under his hand.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Marsha blinked a few times, adjusting to the light. She scanned her eyes over the stage, noticing Cherice wasn't there, she let out a startled cry and ran off the stage, bumping into Michaelangelo along the way.

"At least let me go with you. I could be of some help..."

Marsha nodded, looking around as the audience had started their leave. "Okay..."

Leo looked around quickly as soon as he noticed something was wrong. His head turned sharply as he saw a flash of orange, and the familiar silhouette of his brother.

"Mikey!" he said, hurrying up to him. "What happened?"

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Mike turned to look at Leo. "Something's up with the Foot Ninja's...they took the lead singer," he explained.

Marsha couldn't believe what she was seeing. Turtles?? she shook her head. "They took my best friend. We have to find her before they harm her!"

Mike glanced at Leo. "Should we tell the others?"

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo scratched his head. "Why in the world would they take a singer??" He glanced at Mike. "We don't have time to go back to the lair." he nodded at Marsha. "Who's this?"

((Um...as far as Leo knows Raph and Don are at the Lair still... :ohwell: ))

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"Ah..." Mike was about to respond when Marsha answered for him.

"My name's Marsha, I'm the background singer for the band," she replied, giving him a small smile. She looked back to the exit, anxious to start looking for her friend.

Mike shrugged. "There's your answer. I dunno why they'd want a singer...maybe she has something Shred-head wants?"

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo frowned. "Shredder wants a singer...how strange." He looked at Marsha, registering her worry. "Well, come on Mikey, let's go see if we can find her friend."

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"Right behind ya, bro!" Mike declared, quickly following Leo.
"Wait! I'm coming with you!" Marsha cried out, catching up with the two. Mike turned to face her.
"Uh...not to sound like Leo, here, or anything...but, maybe it's best if you stay here..." he started, then stopped when he saw the deadly glare she had given him. "Uh...or maybe you should come with us?" he gave her a friendly smile.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo rolled his eyes. "That does not sound like me." Carefully looking around the alley, he saw nothing. "Okay...Mikey, check around the dumpster over there, see if you find anything. I'll check over here."

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"Uh huh, yeah, sure, bro..." Mike snickered and went to check the dumpster. Marsha followed closely behind him. "Great...while we're looking, she could be seriously injured by now..." she muttered.
"Dudette, chill! We'll find your friend!"
"Her name is Cherice," Marsha growled.
Mike held up his hands in defense and continued looking around the dumpster. "Nothing but trash here, Leo," he announced.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo sighed and straightened up. "Nothing over here, either. It's not like the Foot to just leave nothing..." Leo looked at Mikey. "This is really weird." Suddenly a gleam off of metal caught his eye. "What's this..." he bent down and picked up the blade with the Foot symbol on it. "Okay...well we definitely know the Foot took her. Maybe she's at Foot Headquarters."

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"Yeah, let's get going," Mike agreed.
Marsha kept following them, never leaving their side. "Foot Headquearters?" she repeated.
"Yeah...it's a tall building where our enemy currently resides in...a.k.a the Shredder," Mike explained.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo looked around, then ran in the shadows to the next alley, waiting for Mikey and Marsha to catch up. "Okay," he said, as soon as Shredder's high rise of evil...I mean, Foot HQ was in sight. "We might have to go by...rooftops." he glanced at Marsha.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

As soon as Leo said 'rooftops', she backed away, slightly. "I HATE heights..." she started.
Mike arched an eyeridge at this. "But you said you wanted to save your friend..." he teased slightly.
"I DO, but..." she bit her bottom lip.

[Lioness-Goddess]

"We COULD always just leave you here..." Leo joined Mikey with the teasing.

((welp, i'm gone for tonight.))

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

(kay)

Marsha shook her head quickly. Why do they have to tease me? she asked herself silently. "No! I'm coming, I'm coming..." she murmured.
Mike gave her a warm smile. "Don't worry, Leo and I got your back," he smirked slightly.

[Akita]

(too late to join?)

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

(since Savannah isn't on yet...and neither is Garou, no, it's not too late to join...we still need a Donatello...*grumbles*...I'll fill in for Splinter, Karai and Hun, but I can't do the brainy turtle...I'll stick with my Mikey :D )

[Akita]

((ok well....ill wait))

[-Savannah-]

((ok well....ill wait))

-You can join as a made-up too if you want! It won't be a problem :D -

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo gave a sympathetic look to Marsha. "Um, sorry. But we don't really have a choice if we want to find your friend."

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha stared at Leo for a moment. "Fine...I guess I can stick it out and go with you..." she stuck her tongue out at the blue-cladded turtle and waited for them to move.
"How about if I carry you?" Mike smirked, looking a bit hopeful.
Marsha blinked twice, seeing the smirk. "Uh...no offense, but I think I'll let Leo carry me," she turned to Leonardo, a devilish smirk on her face.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo blinked, a bit taken aback by her request. He sighed. "Right...okay."

[Akita]

((ok thanks! I'll be joining as my OC Akita))

[-Savannah-]

-Uh, sorry for asking this but is Marsha... uh, warming up to Leo?-

[Garou]

((... Jesus, have you been writing a novel, while I was gone??))

Angel looked to the red cladded turtle.

"We have to find out what happened," she stated. Raph nodded, looking at something ot far away.

"Hey, that's Leo and Mi- with a girl?" he noted, making Angel look in that direction too.

"We're out of hearing reach, we have to run over to them." Nodding to each other, they jumped down from their spot and ran off.


"Hey guys!" the feline called to the turtles from the air, landing next to them. She blinked at the sight of Marsha, not really knowing what to say.

"How about introducing us to your new friend," Raph smirked, as he came from behind them.

*

Cherice was taken into the Foot Headquaters, and was thrown into a cell. The ninja locked the door, before taking a last glimpse as the singer. Shaking his head, he turned around to leave...

[-Savannah-]

Cherice stood up, her faded jeans and baby blue tube top were dotted with blood, from the struggle earlier. Dusting herself off, she used her bandana holding up her hair to wind around a cut on her leg. Coming up to the cell bars, she started to observe her surroundings hoping for the chance to escape.

[Lioness-Goddess]

((... Jesus, have you been writing a novel, while I was gone??))

Angel looked to the red cladded turtle.

"We have to find out what happened," she stated. Raph nodded, looking at something ot far away.

"Hey, that's Leo and Mi- with a girl?" he noted, making Angel look in that direction too.

"We're out of hearing reach, we have to run over to them." Nodding to each other, they jumped down from their spot and ran off.


"Hey guys!" the feline called to the turtles from the air, landing next to them. She blinked at the sight of Marsha, not really knowing what to say.

"How about introducing us to your new friend," Raph smirked, as he came from behind them.



((*giggle* Apparantely.))

Leo jumped at the sudden appearance of Raph and Angel, then blushed at Raph's words. "Uh...this is Marsha...she's one of the background singers."

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

-Uh, sorry for asking this but is Marsha... uh, warming up to Leo?-

(....maybe....lol...you never know what goes on in my character's mind :P )

Marsha stared at the Feline and the red-cladded turtle. "Huh? Who are they?" she asked.
"Ah, Marsha...this is our brother, Raphael, and our good friend, Angel," Mike explained.
Marsha just nodded, then looked over at the Foot Headqueaters. "Well? Are we going to rescue my friend, or what?" she asked a bit impatiently.

[Lioness-Goddess]

"Yeah." Leo said. "Did...you still want me to carry you?"

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

A slight blush crossed her cheeks as Marsha nodded. "Yes...if you don't mind..."

Mike smirked and leaned closer to Leo. "Leo has a girlfriend, Leo has a girlfriend," he snickered.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo bapped Mikey upside the head. "Shaddup, Mike." He quickly scooped Marsha up in his arms. "She can't jump around like we can."

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

They were talking about her? She shook her head and wrapped her arms around Leo's neck.
Mike turned to Raph and Angel. "You guys comin' or what?"

[Lioness-Goddess]

"C'mon," Leo said, beginning to scale the first building on the lower level.

[Akita]

Akita wandered the street, her ears low to her head. "How could this happen......why didn't I move?" Akita asked herself. She looked over at the building Leo was in. She sensed something, but thought nothing of it.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice took out on of her metal hair holders, and shoved it into the lock, jigling it around, hoping to unlock the door in her means to escape. After a minute or two she gave up and leaned against the brick wall, twirling strands of her long light brown hair with her fingers, in thought.

[Akita]

Akita took notice, her ears listening to the jiggling of the hair holder.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo finally made it to the roof of the building right next to Shredder's. He set Marsha down, trying to think.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Mikey was right behind the two. He looked from the building to Leo. Once again, before he could speak, Marsha interrupted him. "What are you thinking about, Leo?" she asked.

[Lioness-Goddess]

"Just...trying to figure out the best way in," Leo said distractedly.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"Oh..." Marsha nodded, then looked over at the building herself. Please, be okay, Cherice...

[Akita]

Akita ran to them after hearing what Leo said. "I know a way in..."

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo jumped at this new person's voice, then berated himself for not hearing her coming. Turning, he looked at her, wondering if it was a trap. "Alright." he said tiredly, "Could you show us?"

[-Savannah-]

-I'll sub as a few Foot ninjas.-

SUddenly, a Foot ninja appeared outside the cell door. Cherice gave him a cold, heartless stare. "The Master would like to see you, Ms. Toran." he said firmly, opening the cell door. At that instant, Cherice shot out the door and started to run, looking around for an accessable exit. THe ninja pulled out a walkie talkie and pressed the button saying, "THe prisioner has escaped, I repeat, the prisioner has escaped!"

[Akita]

Akita nodded. "I sneak in here all the time...." She said. "Follow me" Akita jumped onto a landing above their heads and sat for a moment.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo picked up Marsha again, and followed Akita onto the slightly taller ledge.

[Akita]

Akita took a small, flat stick and shoved it throught the bottom of a window. She wiggled it in a certain way, which made the window pull loose

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha leaned in closer towards Leonardo and watched Akita work on the window, her thoughts still centered around on the safety of her friend.

[Akita]

"You don't have to worry about it. I'm a theif....and i'm not very proud....but if you ever need anything....follow the silver fox" Akita said. ((hehe.....'follow the white bunny' was the original line....it came from the Matrix hehe))

[Lioness-Goddess]

((Lol))

Leo simply shook his head, then jumped to the now open window's ledge, and set Marsha inside before climbing inside himself.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice run as fast as she could, thinking she was free. All of a sudden, a bunch of Foot ninjas jumped in front and in back of her, making her skid to a stop. Two Foot ninjas grabbed her from behind, Cherice screaming for them to let go of her. They literally dragged her back, but not to her jail cell but to a chair in the middle of a large, guarded room, where they tied her to it.

[Garou]

((Weeee I'm back, I'm back!!!!!! I was at a baptism...))

Oroku Saki walked closer to the singer, giving her a stern look.

"So," he grunted, "This is the girl my enemies are so fascinated by?" He snorted, turning his back to her.

"Pathetic."

*

Angel and Raph had been following Leo and Mikey, and both of them had been a little startlet at Akita appearing so suddenly. Climbing through the open window, Raph looked at the feline.

"I'm not sure if we can trust her," he whispered, making Angel's ears perk.

"Leo does," she answered, "That's good enough for me..." she jumped inside, looking around.

[Akita]

Akita hopped off, police soon catching onto her and running after her. She winked, and turned into a silver fox.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo watched Akita bound off. "Well...that was odd..." shaking his head, he turned his attention back to the task at hand. He was standing in an empty hallway. Leo frowned. Weird...Shredder should have guards somewhere. He looked around, his senses on high alert.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice narrowed her eyes the Shredder. "If you want pathetic you should look in the mirror! You can buy that junky hardware at the local car dealer for $ .50!" she said sarcastically.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Mike glanced back at Raph and Angel before he continued to follow Leo and Marsha.

Marsha had just appeared behind Leo right after Akita had transformed and took off. She looked at the blue-cladded turtle. "Um...shouldn't we...follow her?" she asked.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo blinked. Where was his brain today!? "Yeah, c'mon!" Leo glanced back at his brothers and Angel breifly before grabbing Marsha by the hand and running down the hallway after Akita.

[NightwatchersOnlygirl]

I take Karai if it's O.K by you :evil:

[-Savannah-]

-Yeah sure, you can-

[Garou]

Shredder frowned at the young singer, not giving her a single glance. He looked at one of the ninjas.

"Hide and ambush," he said, "And make sure the girl won't say a word." With that, the ninja bowed, as Shredder walked out. He turned to Cherice, grabbing a piece of cloth to bind before her mouth. He quickly moved over to her, starting to bind it.

*

"Cute couple," Raph joked at Leo, as he and Angel dashed after the others.

"I don't like this," Angel muttered, "It's way too quiet..."

[Akita]

As Akita's fox form was running, a bullet hit her in the side. She ran and jumped through a window of the building and turned into her human-like form. Her wound bled, the bullet had missed her heart, but pierced her stomach instead.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice tried to scream but it was muffled by the cloth. ~Help!~ she screamed in her mind, ~I-I can't breathe!!!~

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

A chill was sent up Marsha's spine at that moment. It was as though she could feel her friend's feelings. Something's wrong....Cherice...please be okay.... Marsha thought, raising her green eyes to Leonardo as she ran beside him. "We have to hurry, Leo!" she pleaded.

~*~
"Cute couple," Raph joked at Leo, as he and Angel dashed after the others.

Mike overheard Raph's comment and snickered as he ran behind the two. "You really think that, Raphy?" he asked, humor coloring his voice.

[-Savannah-]

The ninja finished binding her mouth up, the lack of air with increasing, as Cherice started to feel dizzy and light-headed. She didn't pass out for she could still breathe some, although the inkake of oxygen wasn't enough.

[Lioness-Goddess]

A chill was sent up Marsha's spine at that moment. It was as though she could feel her friend's feelings. Something's wrong....Cherice...please be okay.... Marsha thought, raising her green eyes to Leonardo as she ran beside him. "We have to hurry, Leo!" she pleaded.

.


"I know, I know!" Leo said, halting suddenly. He was standing in front of a bunch of doors. Which one....
Leo broke the first one down. Nothing. He moved on to the next one.

[Akita]

Akita burst open a door, which was where Shredder and the young singer, on accident.

[-Savannah-]

The ninja beside her stared her down. His evil little smirk couldn't be seen under his black mask. Cherice's eyes her half closed, her breathing slow and small. The cloth was gagging her slowly.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo whipped around as Akita bust open a door. He caught sight of the singer being stared down by a Foot ninja. "Guys," Leo whispered, signaling to Marsha and his brothers, and pointing into where Cherice was.

[Akita]

Akita knelt down on her knee then looked up at Shredder. ".....oh no...."

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha stared at her friend in horror. "Cherice!!!" she started forward when Mikey grabbed her and held her back. "Let me go!"
"No! You'll get hurt if you go in there alone!" the orange-cladded turtle hissed at her.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice looked up at them, her eyes became wide with shock when she saw the giant green turtles. She tried to say something but the cloth muffled every word. She tried to get herself loose but the Foot ninja just walked over and said, "Shut up!" and then slapping her. He wasn't going to be caught being soft with the singer.

[Garou]

"Ah," Shredder smirked, turning around and looked down at Akita, then at the turtles, "I see, you have brought company." He grabbed Akita by the neck with a quick move of his left hand, holding the young girl into the air.

"I suggest you throw your weapons on the floor," he chuckled evily, slowly tightening his grip.

*

Raph was about to tell Mikey how sarcastic, he had been, when Akita had burst open the door and landed near Shredder.

"Great," he hissed under his breath, tensing his muscles. He took out his sais, but didn't put them down. He was ready to fight.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Michelangelo growled, but made no move to place his nunchaku's on the floor. "Shred-head..." He was about to say something else when Marsha stepped forward.
"Let Cherice go!! " she pleaded.
"Marsha!" Mike hissed.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice struggled to get loose, trying to get away so no harm would come to Marsha and the turtles who came to her rescue.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo slowly drew both of his katanas, giving a warning glance to Marsha to stay back. "Shredder..." he growled, "Let her go."

[Garou]

Shredder looked at the turtles, still holding Akita in a firm grip.

"I give you a last warning," he hissed, his grip getting tighter around Akita's neck, "You wouldn't risk the life of an innocent, would you?"

*

The red-cladded turtle hissed. Right now, he was ready to flung at Shredder, but he knew it would be a bad idea. It wouldn't take much more than a second to kill her off.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Mike let out another growl and pulled Marsha back behind him. "Shredder.." he hardly new the girl in his grip, yet he already felt sorry for her.

Marsha glowered at Shredder, psychic powers kicking in. She raised her index finger and Akita was lifted from Shredder's grasp. She placed Akita safely on the floor and turned her gaze back to Shredder.

[Akita]

Akita yelped in pain, her wound still bleeding.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo pointed one of his katanas at Shredder, now that Akita was safe. "The other girl," he hissed.

[Akita]

Akita looked at Shredder, somehow recognizing him from somewhere. "Wait...." Akita said to Leo.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice squirmed, trying to speak but you couldn't make out what she was saying.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo gave a quizzical look to Akita, not moving an inch.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

All Marsha cared about was saving Cherice at the moment. "Cherice..." she murmured, zipping past the others and Shredder to Cherice's side and began to untie her.

"Damn it, Marsha," Mike hissed.

[-Savannah-]

Once Marsha untied the cloth around her mouth, Cherice said, "Get out of here! Your gonna get yourself killed!" Once Marsha untied here, Cherice jumped up. "This tin can can go to hell." Her strands of brown hair fell around her face loosely, but she didn't bother to push them away from her face. Edging out slowly, she grabbed Marsha's wrist, pulling her along.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha followed Cherice and only glanced back to look at the guys. "Cherice...what about the others?" she asked.

[-Savannah-]

"We'll only be slowing them down..." she replied, slowly making her way to the door.

[Akita]

"Shredder? .......how do I....? Why do I....?"

[Garou]

Shredder growled, when Marsha and Cherice ran for the door. But suddenly, ninjas landed around on the floor, one right before the door. He stared down Marsha and Cherice, preparing an attack if they moved even an inch.

Shredder looked at the turtles, raising his hand and gestured for them to attack...

*

Angel scanned the room quickly, searching for anything of use, when she eyed one of the large torches in the room (didn't know what else to call 'em, but I'm sure ya all understand). She raised her paw and made the flame shiver. Finally taking control of it, she lunged the fireball at the ninja by the door.

The ninja was hit, but all he could do in defence was to lay down and roll on the floor, until the fire would extinct. Which, apparently, wasn't going to be soon...

[-Savannah-]

Cherice ran out the door, pulling Marsha along, behind her. The were met at the other side of the door with several Foot ninjas with throwing stars. Cherice stopped immadiatly. "Don't move..." she whispered sharply to MArsha.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

All Marsha could do was stare at the ninja's. Someone do SOMETHING!!! her mind screamed.

Mike looked at his brothers and Angel, gripping his nunchaku's in hand.

[-Savannah-]

Suddenly, one of the ninjas attacked throwing three throwing stars at Marsha and Cherice. "Get down!" she shouted, thrusting her and Marsha onto the ground as the stars whizzed by them, hitting the concrete wall.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

One of the throwing stars grazed Marsha's right arm. "Sh*t!" she hissed, upon seeing a small wound start to open up. She glanced up at Cherice. "We have to get out of here..."

[-Savannah-]

CHerice mumbled something, before saying something. "Marsha... You go, I can hold these guys off while you get outta here." she whispered, eyeing the ninjas, ready to strike again.

[Lioness-Goddess]

"No you won't," Leo said firmly, hearing what Cherice had said. He flipped a ninja on his back." We are the ones who do the holding off!"

[-Savannah-]

"Whatever." she hissed, "C'mon!" Cherice started to run down the hall to the door, where they could escape. Ninjas were every around them again in a second, still holding throwing stars or an other weapon. Looking to her right she saw a metal bridge used for lights since this was an old filming studio. Nudging her to go on it, she whispered, "You first Marsha."

[Garou]

"Yeah, you trying to take our job?" Raph called after Cherice.

Shredder showed his blades (sp?) at Leo, narrowing his eyes. With a swift move, he swung them at Leo, preparing a strike for his chest.

[Akita]

"Nooooo!" Akita yelled and took the hit for him.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha's head shot upat Akita's scream. She looked back to see Shredder striking at Leo. Her eyes widened in fright. "LEO!!" she screamed.

Michelangelo caught Akita before she fell, blood staining his hands. He sent a glare in Shredder's way, then turned to the girls. "Get out of here!!"

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo's eyes widened at the bloody figure Mikey held. He growled at Shredder. "Innocent people don't deserve this!" he immediately began to attack Shredder with his katana.

[Garou]

Leo's eyes widened at the bloody figure Mikey held. He growled at Shredder. "Innocent people don't deserve this!" he immediately began to attack Shredder with his katana.

Behind the mask, Shredder evily smirked to himself. This was exactly, what he wanted Leonardo to do. He dodged the incoming katana, sending a blow to the leader turtles shoulder with a closed fist, knocking Leo down.

Raph hissed, looking quickly towards Mikey and Akita. Anger blurted his mind, as he lunged at Shredder, only to recieve a roundhouse kick in the stomach. Raph fell to the floor, the blow only making his rage grow.

Angel jumped over to Mikey, raising her paws to her chest.

"Hold her still," she commanded, placing her paws above Akita's wound and started to heal it. But it was a longer process. The feline stopped the bleeding, looking up at Mikey.

"It's all I can do for now..."

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Mike gave a warm smile at the feline. "Thanks, Angel, you're a lifesaver. I'd kiss you, but I think Raph would kill me if I did that," he joked slightly, glancing down at Akita.

He then turned his gaze to the two girls by the door. "Man...what are they still doing here?" he groaned.

Marsha blinked, seeing the red-clad turtle fall back. She raised her hand and lifted Shredder off the ground.

[Akita]

Akita smiled. "Thank you...." Her eyes became slits and her one tail became three as she entered her full demon form.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo leapt back up to his feet, distracted for a moment as he noticed the girls were still there. "Mikey! Get them out of here! NOW!"

[Garou]

Angel shot an angry glance at Mikey for the comment.

"You think I want a kiss from a reptile?" she snorted at him, "Eew."

*

Shredder suddenly felt his feet not touching the ground. He cried in anger, grabbing a shuriken and sent it towards Marsha.

[Akita]

Akita turned full fox with three tail and lashed at Shredder, finding herself attempting to sink her teeth into his skin.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"Aww, come on, Angel! You like me and you know it!" Mike smirked at the feline.

He jumped, then, upon hearing his brother shout:

"Mikey! Get them out of here! NOW!"

"Uh, right, Leo!" He noticed a shuriken heading for Marsha and blocked it with his nunchaku's. He smirked at the girl. "Best not to use your powers around Shred-head...it's a good way to get on his bad side. Come on," Mike urged, picking Marsha up in his arms and turned, urging Cherice to climb on his shell.

[-Savannah-]

"I'm going to need group therapy after tonight..." Cherice muttered, hesitantly getting on Mikey, "This night's never gonna end..."

[Lioness-Goddess]

"Tell me about it..." Leo muttered, deflecting another shuriken with his blade.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"I'm getting you girls to a safe place..." Mike smiled, assuringly at them. "Hang on tight, Cherice."

It wasn't before long Mike had came across a manhole and jumped down, closing the lid cover, after making sure no one had followed him, that is. "Tell me, WHY are we in a sewer?" Marsha groaned.

Mike shrugged as he entered the lair, closing the door behind him. "It was the only safe spot I could think of. I'd bring you girls to April's for a few days, but she's out of town on vacation." he set Marsha down on her feet and let Cherice climb down from his back.

[Garou]

Shredder cursed at Akita, trying to throw her off.

*

Raph frowned, getting up to look at Shredder. With a loud growl, he jumped towards the villain, sais drawn.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo watched Raph attack the Shredder with wide eyes. He wanted to go over and help, but three ninjas blocked his way.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice stayed silent the whole time, not really caring where she was going-sewers or not. With a spare bandana she tied her hair back in a messy fashion not bothering to pull back the loose strands of hair that fell around her face.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

((I'll take Splinter for now...until someone else wants to take him for awhile...))

"Sensei?" Mike called, looking around the Lair.
Marsha stared at him, a bit confused. She then looked to Cherice, a relieved smile on her face. "I don't even care if we're in a sewer right now, I'm just glad to see that you're okay."

Splinter entered the room not long after Mikey had called him. He rested his eyes upon the two girls and looked back at Mike. "What is the meaning of this, my son?"
"Sensei, we were keeping watch over the city, my bros and I, and I was checking up on a concert. You know Cherice and her band?" Splinter gave a short nod and Mike continued, "Well, they ran into a little trouble with Shredder, and I was hoping they could stay here for a few days until things calm down a bit..."
Splinter stared at the girls again. "Yes, they may stay here..." the rat then noticed the cut on Marsha's arm. "Come, child, we will get that cleaned for you."
Marsha blinked. It's just a little cut... she shook her head and followed the rat. Mike turned to Cherice. "Welcome to our home! Anything you wanna do, Cher? We have plenty of movies and video games..."

[-Savannah-]

"I'm okay." she intruptted, giving him a small smile, "It's just been a big night and all..."

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"Oh, uh...you can take my room if you want. I'll sleep on the couch tonight. Come on, I'll show you where my room is...just don't mind the mess," Mike chuckled a bit, holding out his hand for Cherice's.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice hesitantly took Mikey's hand, allowing him to show him to his room. When she looked inside, noting the piles of magazines and comics littering the floor, she mumbled, "Messy? Man, you should see my apartment..."

[Garou]

Raphael was about to attack Shredder, when a huge figure suddenly slammed him aside. The turtle hit the wall with a loud smack and landed on the floor.

"Ouch," Raph grunted, looking up to see Hun stare down at him. Hun prepared an attack, closing his fists around each other to make a hammer. With a cry, he readied himself to slam down the fists on the turtle on the ground.

Angel had been attacked by a ninja, finding herself dodging an incoming bo repeatedly.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha closed her eyes as Splinter began to tend to her wound. In her mind, she saw blurry images of a turtle in red being seriously injured by a huge, bulky man...she jumped when the turtle was slammed into the wall.
Splinter eyed the girl, feeling her worry. "Something is troubling you, my child..."
"One of your...sons...we have to go back...please!" she begged.
"But, you are injured!"
"It's only a cut! I can help fight, just, please...sensei..."
Splinter sighed. "I suppose..." he helped her down and the two of them started off back to where Raph and the others were.

~*~
Cherice hesitantly took Mikey's hand, allowing him to show him to his room. When she looked inside, noting the piles of magazines and comics littering the floor, she mumbled, "Messy? Man, you should see my apartment..."

Mike chuckled and cleared off the bed for Cherice. "Anything else you need, just give me a call, okay?"

[-Savannah-]

Cherice nodded and Mikey walked out. She heard Marsha's voice outside, but frantic. Running to the door, jumping over comics along the way. "Marsha?!" she said loudly when she saw her leaving, "Get back here! Gr... That girl has more guts then brain... Might as well go with 'em." Cherice ran after them, thinking Marsha was completely nuts.

[Lioness-Goddess]

"Yah!" Leo jumped over the three ninja's blocking his way and slammed a kick into Hun's side, deflecting him from his brother.

[Garou]

"I owe you one," Raph smirked at Leo, getting up from the floor and dusting himself off.

Angel growled, grabbing the bo the ninja attacked with. Closing her eyes, the bo started to heat, smoke coming up from it. It slowly starting burning, making the ninja let go of it.

"Great weapon, a fire-bo," the feline chuckled to herself, seeing around for the next ninja stupid enough to attack her...

Hun cried in surprise, when Leo had kicked him away. Standing up, he looked angrily at both Leo and Raph, ready to take them both on.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo took a defensive stance, and not wanting Hun to have the upper hand, charged at him.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"Gah! Cherice! I thought you said you were tired!" Mike muttered, running after her and grabbing her arm.

"C'Mon, Sensei! We're almost there!" Marsha urged. She sensed Cherice nearby and wanted to get to the building as quickly as possible to help the guys.
Splinter, silent but quick, followed after the girl. They soon entered the building, Splinter's eyes widened upon seeing Shredder and Hun. "My sons..." he murmured, eyes resting on Leonardo and Raphael. He then looked to Angel, then turned his gaze to Shredder.

[-Savannah-]

"But... Marsha!" she argued, pulling from his grasp a trickle of crimson running down her arm, "Sorry, but suddenly, I'm not so tired." Cherice sprinted after Marsha, soon losing them in the dark. "Wonderful..." she muttered.

[Garou]

Hun prepared himself for the attack and took a defensive stance, as Leo charged at him.

*

Raph wanted to attack too, but was suddenly surprised by five ninjas getting in his way.

"Come and get me," he whispered at them. The three of the five attacked, but was quickly biting the dust again.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha clenched her fists, eyes transfixed on the remaining ninja's. Her eyes turned a pale blue color. With a raise of her right hand, she sent the foot ninja's sailing back into Hun. She then turned her gaze to Shredder when Splinter stopped her. "Enough, my child..."

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo lowered his katana as three ninjas were smashed into Hun. "Well...that was easy."

[Akita]

((what has happened?))

[Garou]

((Well, there's happened a lot, since we saw you the last time. The fight is almost over *or will be soon*. Marsha's a telekinetic, if that's what you're reffering to *flying ninjas*. As far as I'm concerned, Akita's still hanging on Shredder, trying to bite him))

Raph took down the last ninja, looking a little surprised when three of them came flying through the air. He looked around, eyeing Angel as the first oppertunity. The feline looked back at him.

"Don't look at me," she stated, "I'm just as surprised as you." The bo, she had set on fire had died out, and she threw the remaining on the ground. Both of them looked towards Marsha, seeing it was her.

"Wicked..." Angel smiled, looking up just in time to dodge another ninja.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice had just made it to the warehouse, a few ninjas meeting her at the door. THey snickered, mumbling to themselves. "Don't under estimate me... For I took self defense for two years!" she warned taking on ninja by surprise and hitting him in the groin, hard with her knee. The ninja curled up into a ball on the ground, moaning. "C'mon...." she murmured to the others, "Come and get it."

[Akita]

((thanks that helped))

Akita let go and snarled at Shredder. "Leave them be!" She said through her mind, she then lashed at him again, sinking her teeth into his skin.

[Garou]

Akita let go and snarled at Shredder. "Leave them be!" She said through her mind, she then lashed at him again, sinking her teeth into his skin.

Shredder cried in both pain and anger, throwing himself into a wall with Akita in between, trying to make her let go.

[Akita]

Akita let go and yelped in pain.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo's glance went from Shredder to Splinter and Marsha, to Akita. Ignoring everyone else, he knelt next to Akita's side. "Hey, you okay?"

[-Savannah-]

The last of the ninjas charged, all coming in from all directions. When they jumped for, she ducked, getting out of the way before the all whamed into one another. "Easy as pie..." she said with a triumphant smile, running into the now un-guarded entrance.

[Akita]

Akita nodded, still a fox with three tails.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo nodded at her. "Good." he drew both his katanas and lunged at the Shredder.

[Garou]

Shredder eyed Leo, his eyes glowing. He threw himself at the leader turtle, his blades on the hand ready to strike back at the turtle.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo yelped as the blades on Shredder's armor scratched three thin lines down his plastron. He jumped away, then growling attacked Shredder again.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"Sensei..." Marsha let out a low growl as she watched this.
"No..." was Splinter's firm reply.
She let out another growl, her eyes turning to the pale blue color again. "I'm sorry, Sensei, I just can't stand on the sidelines and watch him hurt your sons!" She quickly raised her right hand, lifting Shredder up in the air and threw him across the room like a rag doll.

[Garou]

Raph blinked, when he heard Leo's yelp. He finished off the ninja he was fighting and ran to Leo's aid, but before he reached him, Shredder was being sent through the room. He looked at his brother.

"You alright?" he asked, not sure how bad the strike had been.

Shredder hissed loudly, landing on his feet. His eyes fell on Marsha instantly, knowing she was behind this. He leaped up, running towards her fiercefully.

Angel looked back, noticing Shredder was going for Marsha. She quickly lifted her paws, forming a tornado around him.

"Get out of his reach!" she cried to Marsha, a small drop of sweat forming on her forehead, "I don't know, how long I can hold him..."

[Lioness-Goddess]

Raph blinked, when he heard Leo's yelp. He finished off the ninja he was fighting and ran to Leo's aid, but before he reached him, Shredder was being sent through the room. He looked at his brother.

"You alright?" he asked, not sure how bad the strike had been.



"Yeah..." Leo said. "Just scratches." He noticed Shredder going for Marsha, and Angel's tornado.

"Come on!" he said, grabbing Marsha's wrist and pulling her away.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha blinked a few times, a bit startled at being pulled away. Who?? She looked up to see Leo. "Leo?" She shook her head, then held it a bit, suddenly feeling dizzy. "Wh-what happened? Are you okay?" she asked. She raised her eyes to his and then turned her gaze to Shredder who was being held up in a small tornado formed by Angel. "...."

[Garou]

Sweatdrops started running down Angel's face, as she held the tornado in place, but it was getting smaller by the second. Raph saw Leo pull the girl away and decided to go for their enemy.

"Angel, let go," he called to the feline, and the tornado vanished as quickly, as it came. Shredder landed on his feet, but was suddenly knocked into the wall by a roundhouse kick from Raph.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Marsha blinked a few times, a bit startled at being pulled away. Who?? She looked up to see Leo. "Leo?" She shook her head, then held it a bit, suddenly feeling dizzy. "Wh-what happened? Are you okay?" she asked. She raised her eyes to his and then turned her gaze to Shredder who was being held up in a small tornado formed by Angel. "...."

Leo sighed. "Yes, I'm fine. What about you, are you-" Leo was cut off as Raph planted a well placed roundhouse kick to Shredder's metal body, sending him flying into the wall.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha blinked, noticing the kick as well and forced a smile at Leo. "Yeah...I'm fine. Just...a little dizzy, is all," she mumbled.

[Garou]

The Shredder stood up, his eyes flaming with anger. With glenched fists, he ran towards Angel and placed a kick in her chest. The feline hit the ground hard, all air knocked out of her lungs. She looked up, as he stood over her, blades raised.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo leapt to his feet from talking to Marsha and slammed his feet into the Shredder's side.

[-Savannah-]

-Me back!!!-

Cherice ran through the dark hallways toward the sound of clashing metal and voices either yelling or moaning. "Hope Marsha is okay..." she thought, picking up the pace and added, "And they others, too..."

[Garou]

Shredder stumbled from the kick, looking towards Leo.

"You." he belowed, taking a defensive stance.

Angel slowly got to her knees, her chest still arching from the blow. Raph quickly appeared behind her, dragging her away from the floor and placed her near Splinter and Marsha.

"Stay," he ordered and turned back to the fighting grounds.

"Great, now he thinks I'm a dog," the feline frowned, though she knew she needed time to rest.

[Lioness-Goddess]

"Me." Leo said coolly to Shredder, before pulling his katanas and charging.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice stopped behind Marsha, grabbing her shoulder and whipping her around to face her. "Marsha?! What in the hell are you doing coming back here?" she hissed between clenched teeth, "Trying to get yourself killed? Good god, girl, you nearly gave me a damn heartattack!"

[Garou]

Raphael charged at another ninja. They were slowly getting fewer in number, and the turtles ha the upper hand on this. He look over at his brother attacking Leo. If he needed him, he was there...

Shredder eyed Leo, not moving. As soon as the turtle was close enough, the villain spun to deliver a round house kick to Leo.

[-Savannah-]

Suddenly, a ninja jumped from above, nearly landing right on top of Cherice. "Ah!" she cried when she dodged him and his attack.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo jumped back a little too quickly, barely missing being kicked, and stumbling slightly. Regaining his balance, he continued to circle the Shredder, looking for a weak spot.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha was about to answer Cherice when the ninja attacked her. She let out a low growl and kicked the ninja out of the way. She turned back to Cherice, helping her up. "Look, Cherice, I'm sorry if I worried you, but I had a feeling that the tin head was hurting these guys, and I just wanted to help out! Ya know? As in thanking them for helping me find you?" she asked. Marsha whirled around, noticing Splinter wasn't behind her anymore. "Now where did Sensei go?" she murmured, scanning her eyes over the room, trying to find him.

[Garou]

The Shredder growled angrily, turning again to strike one more time at Leo. He grabbed a katana from one of the fallen ninjas, pointing it at the turtle.

[-Savannah-]

As another ninja attacked, Cherice took the advantage, of side-kicking him in the groin, making him fall over in pain. "Well if your staying I will too. I DID take self-defense for two years..."

[Lioness-Goddess]

"What's the matter, Shredder?" Leo antagonized. "Scared I might beat you?"

[Garou]

"Scared?" Shredder hissed angrily, obviously having been hit on a weak spot. He lunged at Leo with the katana with a high cry, sending the sword directly at Leo's throat.

Raph saw it out of the corner of his eye.

"LEO!" he called, slamming a ninja down and ran to his brothers aid, though he knew hé wouldn't get there quickly enough.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo heard Raph's call and realized a second too late what was going to happen. He managed to jump out of the way far enough so that the katana sliced down his arm, instead of decapitating him.

[Garou]

Raph flinched, anger filling him up. He sped up, aiming his sai at Shredder.

The Shredder smirked seeing his katana hit Leo, but the pleasure was soon disturbed by the red-cladded turtle. With a frown, Shredder sent Raphael to the ground with a flying kick, making Raph drop his sais.

Raph growned, trying to shake off the blackness that the blow had caused. He didn't see the raised blade coming at him.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Clutching his arm, Leo raised his leg and kicked the blade right out of Shredder's hand. No one would hurt his brothers if he had anything to say about it!

[-Savannah-]

Cherice gasped seeing Raph in trouble. Running over, she grasped his green arm, pulling him away quickly, as Leo held off SHredder.

[Garou]

Shredder faced Leonardo, fire burning in his eyes. He glenched his fists and took a defensive stance.

"This will be your last battle," he hissed at Leo, sending the fist with the two spikes at him with all the strength he possesed.

A shot ran through Raph's body, when he felt someone trying to drag him away. No - he had to help his brother. His vision slowly cleared, as he pulled his arm back from Cherice, not even giving her a thanks. He didn't have time for that. He stood up, feeling a small pain in his head, where Shredder had kicked him. Ignoring it, he ran to grab his sais and continue the fight, where he left off.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha watched Shredder swing his blade at Leonardo with wide eyes. "STOP IT!!!" She shouted, anger building up inside her, her eyes turned to a blood red color. Her gaze landing on a loose pipe in the corner of the room, she used to move it wit a motion of her head, sending it crashing into the back of Shredder's head.
High above them, Splinter watched all of this, waiting for the right moment to strike....

[-Savannah-]

Cherice, startled at first, backing away from the fight. Feeling completely helpless, she thought about just leaving- with or without Marsha.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo backed up, still clutching his arm. He used the few seconds he had to get his breath back. He sent a small smile towards Marsha. "Thanks..."

[Garou]

Shredder heard the loud clank, when the pipe hit the back of his head. He stopped his action, sending a stare towards Marsha, but decided against attacking her and drew the attention back to Leo.

Raph was going towards the Shredder, when Hun suddenly blocked his way

"What the-" the red masked turtle hissed.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo backed up from the Shredder. He could feel the blood from his arm trickling through his fingers. Not good. He could weild one katana if he really needed to, but he wasn't so sure about the other one.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha watched all of this, keeping her silence. She raised her eys to Splinter who was leaning downwards, watching Shredder's every move.

Splinter narrowed his eyes as Shredder turned his attention back to his eldest son, finding this the perfect moment to strike. Grabbing the abandoned sword from one of the fallen ninja's, he dropped down onto Shredder's shoulders, sticking the blade of the sword deep into the shoulderblade and jumped back, away from him, awaiting a new thought of strategy.

[Garou]

"AAAAAAARRRGH!!!!!!!!" Shredder cried, as the sword went through the shoulder parts. He clutched the injured side, turning to Hun and the few ninjas still standing.

"Ninjas retreat," he called, suddenly taking a leap out of the window.

"This isn't the last you have seen of me!" he threatened, dissapearing outinto the night with Hun close behind.

"Nice hit," Raph commented to his sensei, placing his sais in their rightful places. Angel walked over to Raph and Splinter with a smile on her face.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Splinter gave a warm smile towards his sons, the smile slowly disappearing as he studied their injuries. "I suggest we hurry back to the lair to get those injuries taken care of," he spoke softly, eyeing Leonardo.

Marsha quickly made her way towards Leo's side, placing a hand on his good shoulder. "Are you okay?" she asked, softly, placing his good shoulder over hers, her right arm around his shoulders. "Let me help you..."

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo blinked after Shredder, but then couldn't help but grin at Marsha's helpfulness. "It's just a cut..." Leo looked back to where the Shredder had disappeared. "Now what the shell was that all about..."

[Garou]

Raph shrugged at Leo.

"Maybe he just realized, we-"

"Ehm guys?" Angel interrupted him, her ears turning around, "Am I the only one hearing beeping noises?"

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo looked around. "Beeping...?"

[-Savannah-]

~Beeping...~ Cherice thought, ~No! It couldn't be!~ "I bet its a bomb he planted on his way out!" she said, looking around frantically.

[Garou]

Raph blinked, looking around. There was something, but he couldn't make out where it came from.

Angel looked around them room, trying to detect the sound. But it was like, t was coming from different places.

"I'd say we get outta here," Angel said, her ears starting to lay flat against her hair.

[Lioness-Goddess]

"I'd say that's a good idea..." Leo said, sliding his katana back onto his shell
and moving for the door.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice grasped Marsha arm and pulling her out the door, into the long hallway.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha blinked in surprise as she was pulled out of the room. She looked over at Splinter who was right behind her. "A bomb?" she paused. "But...should we try to dismantle it?"
Splinter shook his head. "The best choice is for us to get out of here now and hurry back to the lair before it has a chance to implode. Everyone, follow me!" He then started running...Marsha following right behind him.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice ran alongside Marsha, and kept looking back as the as each beeping noise got less and less far away from each other.

[Garou]

"Sounds good to me," Angel muttered, running after Splinter, with Raph behind her.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo made it into the hallway with his family and their friends when suddenly there was a loud BOOM! and he was thrown onto his stomach.

[-Savannah-]

Cherice was thrown against the wall, sliding to the ground from the explosion. Rubbing her head, she just sat there for a moment or two.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo waited until the building stopped shaking and warily looked out from where he covered his head. "Everyone okay?"

[-Savannah-]

"Yeah, terrific." Cherice muttered standing up, dusting herself off.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha was thrown beside Splinter. "...I've been better..." she mumbled, standing up a minute later on shaky legs. She knelt down to help Splinter up who thanked her afterwards.
Splinter took the moment to regain his composure and look around at everyone. "Please, let us all just go back home," he said in a soft voice.

[Garou]

Raph and Angel landed hard on the ground. Raph was the first to lift his head.

"Ya don't have to say that twice," Raph replied, getting up as well.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo meanwhile was looking around suspiciously. Who would kidnap a teenage singer and then bomb the place? Something wasn't right.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"Come, my child," Splinter started, motioning for Cherice to follow them. "You and Marsha are more than welcome to stay with us as long as you wish."
Marsha blinked, a smile on her face. She turned to Cherice. "What do you say, Cherice? This may be the chance I can get to sharpen up my psychic powers. Splinter may just be the help I need...what do you think, Cher?" she asked softly.

[-Savannah-]

"Uh, well. Its not exactly common to get rescued by 4 giant turtles and a rat, but okay, whatever." Cherice said shrugging.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"Thanks, Cherice!!" Marsha declared, smiling wildly.
Splinter smiled softly, making his way to the nearest manhole and lifting the cover lid, motioning for everyone to go before him. "I just have one request for the both of you..." He announced, stopping Marsha before she started climbing down. "You must not tell any other humans about us. If they knew of our existence, our lives would be in grave danger..."
"Don't worry, Sensei. I won't tell a soul about you guys," Marsha replied. Splinter nodded, smiling, letting go of her arm so she could climb down the ladder.

[-Savannah-]

"Trust me." Cherice said, climbing down after Marsha, "Even if I did accidently did tell, my contractors wouldn't listen or even believe it."

[Garou]

Raphaelquickly helped Angel to her feet, and the two followed the old rat and started to climb down the ladder.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo sighed and jumped down the hole after everyone else. "Um...does anyone else get the feeling that something wasn't right up there?"

[-Savannah-]

Cherice paused for a moment, thinking about what Leo just said. ~Wrong?~ she thought, and then kept walking.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Splinter glanced over at Leonardo as he continued walking, Marsha right behind him. "Things are never what they seem whenever the Shredder is around, Leonardo." As soon as they made it to the entrance of the Lair, the rat stepped aside to let Marsha and Cherice in.

Mike stood up from the couch, a look of relief on his face. "Thank god you're all okay! I thougt something bad had happened!"

((OOC: Damn it...I've been watching too many of the old-school episodes lately >.< I get the old-school Splinter confused with the new Splinter :lol: ))

[Garou]

"No biggie," Angel said sarcastically, "We've just been running from a building blowing up - every day event..." She sat down next to the orange-masked turtle.

"Am I the only one hungry?"

[Lioness-Goddess]

Splinter glanced over at Leonardo as he continued walking, Marsha right behind him. "Things are never what they seem whenever the Shredder is around, Leonardo."

"I guess..." Leo said, walking into the lair, thinking hard and still clutching his injured arm.

Mikey snickered at Angel. "Sorry for not being there...There's pizza's on the counter...just pulled them from the oven," he replied, sheepishly.

Splinter shook his head at Michealangelo and turned to show Cherice and Marsha where they could sit, when he noticed Marsha wasn't behind him anymore. He turned to see her at Leo's side and shook his head.

""Here, Leo, let me help you," she started in a soft voice She didn't wait for an answer. She placed both hands over the injured arm and a bright blue aura glowed around it...a few seconds later, it disappeared. "How do you feel, now?" she asked, looking up at him.

Leo blinked at Marsha in surprise. "Better. Thanks."

[Garou]

Raph smiled.

"Great," he announced, walking to the counter to fetch himself something to eat.

Mikey snickered at Angel. "Sorry for not being there...

"I didn't mean anything by it," she softly told him with a light grin on her face. She quickly glanced over at Marsha and Leo, noticing the girl healing Leo's arm. A sting of jealousy hit the feline. Wasn't that supposed to be her job? She quickly threw her eyes to the ground, suddenly finding the floor very interesting.

Cherice stayed silent, thinking on a good excuse for her kidnapping and rescue. ~I can't tell anyone about these guys...~ she thought.

Marsha smiled back at him. "You're welcome..." she looked towards the kitchen, suddenly feeling out of place. "I'm...um...going to go get some pizza..." With that said, she disappeared into the kitchen, quickly side-stepping Raph as she grabbed a plate.

Mike looked at Angel, seeing her staring at the floor. "Whatcha' lookin' at?" he asked, leaning closer, a tad bit curious. "Whatsamatter, Angel?" he asked in a soft voice.

[Garou]

Raph looked over at Marsha without a word, taking three pieces of pizza at the same time. It was a bad habit from when they were todlers. If you weren't fast enough, the pizza would dissapear into thin air before your nose.

Angel looked up, unprepared for the question.

"I," she started, trying hard on finding something intelligent to say. But she couldn't.

"I think I'll just go to bed," she stated, quickly getting off the couch and up to her room. Pushing the door shut behind her, she sat downwith her back and wings resting against the wall.

"I'm an idiot..." she said lowly to herself.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo cocked his head as Angel walked off. He knocked softly on her door. "Hey Angel, you okay?"

[Garou]

Angel jerked her head up at the knock. She carefully stood up, opening the door for the turtle.

"I'm fine," she asured him, "I'm just tired, that's all..."

[Lioness-Goddess]

"Well...if you're sure..." Leo said uncertainly.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

Marsha took a few slices of pizza and walked out of the kitchen, seemingly ignoring Raph. She shook her head, having other things on her mind. Mike looked up from his pizza at her as she sighed heavily, taking the seat on the floor. "What's wrong, dudette?"
"I think I upset Angel..." she paused, taking a bite of the pizza. "Which I really didn't mean to do..."
"Don't worry, she'll be fine. Don't stress yourself over it," Mike smiled, turning his gaze back on his pizza.

[Garou]

Angel gave Leo a smile, doing her best to convince the leader.

[Lioness-Goddess]

Leo shrugged. "Alright, I'll leave you alone." He left Angel and went into the kitchen grabbing the last slice of pizza. "Thanks Mikey," he said, walking into the kitchen with it.

[tmnt_forever_fangirl]

"No problem, bro," Mike smiled, glancing up from his plate.
"Leo? Did I do anything wrong?" Marsha asked, a worried look on her face. Mike shook his head, keeping his mouth shut as he continued to eat his pizza.

(( Do you still need a Donatello?? I am sure that not :lol: ))

[-Savannah-]

-I'm not really sure...-

[Garou]

Angel closed the door again, turning around. As she looked over at her bed in the other end room, she realized she actually was tired. She walked over to her bed, sat down and grabbed the book lying on the ground beside it.

[Lioness-Goddess]

"No problem, bro," Mike smiled, glancing up from his plate.
"Leo? Did I do anything wrong?" Marsha asked, a worried look on her face. Mike shook his head, keeping his mouth shut as he continued to eat his pizza.

Leo shook his head at Marsha's question. "Nah, don't worry about it."
