TMNT RPG - Chapter 4

[coolmike1586]

Casey: *follows Leo* Lets go guys!

[Kali]

Leo paused and turned to Blane, wondering if he could really trust him. "The name's Leonardo, and the Foot are our enemies. What do you know about the Foot?"

[SeaThreePeeO]

"I know many things!" Blane answered.

"I know they try to run the streets. I also know that they took Anya." Blane looked at the floor.

"They take people from the streets, people no one would notice if they went missing!"

[Kali]

Leo crossed his arms. "Sounds consistent with what we know."

Oni looked at Blane. "Who's Anya?"

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane looked at Oni and tried not to stare.

"She was my friend, my only friend until they got her." Blane clenched his fist. "We grew up on the streets together, she was the one who helped me move here."

[azure turtle]

*Somewhere underground, Bebop, Rocksteady, and Frost arrive at the Technodrome. They stand before a very angry Shredder*

Shredder: You fools! You mean to tell me that you had one of the turtles cornered, and you couldn't even defeat him?!

Bebop: He broke our toys, boss!

Rocksteady: He threw those sharp star thingies at us!

Frost: He was quite skilled, Master Shredder. If I had more time....

Shredder: Silence! This is unexcusable. I expect failure from those two numbskulls *points at Rocksteady and Bebop, who lower their heads* but not from you, Frost. You came to me with high praise! I expect much more from you!

Frost: I am sorry, Master Shredder. I would have defeated him, if it were not for a stranger interrupting our duel.

Shredder *raises an eyebrow* : Who?

Frost: I do not know. He seemed to have been a gangster, but he proclaims that he is an enemy of the Foot. He held us hostage for a short moment with a gun.

Shredder : An enemy? Hn. Then it does not matter. He will perish with those turtles.

Frost *reluctantly* : Master Shredder, why did you not tell me that those renegade turtles resembled my appearance?

Shredder *annoyed* : Why is that important? Did I not tell you that they are blood-thirsty barabarians trying to destroy the Foot Clan?

Frost: Yes, but....

Shredder: You better not be thinking about backstabbing me, Frost. If you join those turtles, I will kill you myself.

Frost *frightened* : N-no, Master Shredder! My loyalty is with the Foot! I have sworn it on my honor!

Shredder *satisfied, he grins menacingly* : Good. Now, what should I do to punish the three of you?

*Frost, Rocksteady, and Bebop all hang their heads in sadness*

[coolmike1586]

Casey: *goes over to blane, looks at him* i dont know Leo if i was you i wouldnt trust em!

[BlitzTurtle]

"Bah, you're the one we shouldn't trust--what did you say your name was?" Randi thought for a moment, "Casey Jones. Truthfully, I don' even see how he was able trust me enough to take me to thier hideout... with his 'I hate guns' an' all..." She trailed off and shrugged, "To each their own."
Mike scratched his head, still trying to figure out what 'it' was.

[coolmike1586]

Casey: well i am gettin full of myself and turns and walks off disgusted at them!

[Kali]

Leo sighed and rubbed his temples. He was getting a headache again, he seemed to be getting them a lot lately. What he thought was ringing in his ears turned out to be distant sirens, getting louder. "Okay. Look, we have to get out of here. I'm gonna head to April's apartment."
He looked towards his brothers, Randi, and Oni. "You all can head back to the lair."
He looked at Blane for a moment before speaking. "Since these are your streets, I'll assume you have a place to hide. We're grateful for your help."

[azure turtle]

*Back at the Technodrome, the three mutants are carrying out their punishment for failure. Bebop and Rocksteady are in the main room, cleaning. Frost is in the training room.*

Bebop *scrubbing the floor* : Aww, I hate doin' chores! How come da boss doesn't hire any help?

Rocksteady *scrubbing the wall* : That's cuz we're da help, dufus. Now hurry up! Da faster we finish, da faster we can sit down and watch TV!

Bebop *excited* : Oh! Yous right! Dere's a big wrestlin' match on later!

*Motivated, the two mutants begin to scrub faster and harder. Meanwhile, in the training room....*

Frost: HA! Heya!

*Frost expertly wields his spear against his robotic oponents, dressed in the Foot Clan's uniform. Robot after robot falls before the azure turtle, but more and more attack him. He keeps his attack going, even though he knows he can't last much longer at this sickening pace*

Frost *muttering* : How much longer must I fight these things? I have been doing this for the last three hours. I do not care what anyone else thinks, even a truly skilled warrior cannot last longer than this.

*Just when Frost is about to give up, Shredder calls off the robots. Frost collapses on one knee, gasping for breath*

Shredder *walking up to Frost* : I hope you have learned your lesson. Now that I've seen you fight in person, I know that you can destroy those turtles. I'm actually quite impressed. *turning his back to Frost* Get up, and follow me. We shall discuss the plans for our next move.

*Frost, exhausted, struggles to stand. He glares at the figure walking away from him before he decides to follow.*

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane turned to Leo.

"Don't worry, anyway I have an appointment at the 7-11."

Blane pulled his collar up and walked down the street.

"The names Blane, you won't forget it!" He called back over his shoulder.

Oni looked at Blane. "Who's Anya?"


Raph shrugged, "A distant cousin to Enya?"

(( *lol* I couldn't resist! ))

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi watched Blane walk away and said with a sly smirk, "And there goes another turtle; had I know New York was turtle central, I'd have come sooner." As she looked to Oni, her pupils began to slowly retract to their normal size, "You're going to have to lead the wa-..." She trailed of and frowned as her eyes dialated again. She stayed silent for only a split second before finishing her scentance, "You lead the way, Oni..."
~Oni, we can't go to the lair!~ She told the other female psychically, ~I think on of the milita members are watching!~
She wasn't going to say that it was Fishro, not yet.

[HorseTechie]

Raph nodded to Leo, even though he was still miffed as well that he didn't get any action out of this whole mess.

So his attentions turned to their latest but still remaining intruder. "Really dude, what do you want with us anyway?" he asked Casey Jones.

[Kali]

~Watching us?~ Oni tried to sense the presence, but she came up empty. She did believe Randi, and knew they had to leave, but couldn't go back to the lair.

Leo turned and continued his way to April's apartment.

"Those sirens are getting close," Oni said. "We should get going, too."

[coolmike1586]

Casey: I've been hired by a member i cannot say whom yet, but i am to *was not to help u* jus make sure that you stayed out of any srious trouble, but u puff heads kept me waiting to long and i fell asleep, so now i am here at your service to help and aid u however i physically can!

[azure turtle]

*Frost relaxes in his room. It's a small room, but it suits Frost perfectly. He doesn't have very many personal items in the first place*

Frost *thinking* : So, Master Shredder's plan will not be executed for another week. That gives me some time off.

*Frost sighs, and shifts in bed so that he's facing the ceiling*

Frost *thinking* : I cannot wait until I can abandon this lifestyle. I enjoy being a warrior, but not being a warrior for the Foot Clan. If it were not for that miserable Boko, I may be free of this place, this duty. I cannot back out now, however. I have given my word to serve the Foot. Going against my word would be a disgrace to my departed parents and myself.

*Frost sits up in bed*

Frost *thinking* : At least I can explore the city at my own pace, for the time being.

*Frost gets out of bed, and walks towards the mirror. He stares at the reflection before him.*

Frost *thinking* : Who...am I? I wish I knew. I wish I knew the reasons for my existance. Maybe it is not too late to speak with one of those turtles I had encountered earlier? No, they probably would not speak to me, now that they know we are on opposite sides.

*Frost continues gazing at his own reflection. His hands glide over the numerous scars on his body. Scars that were not received during battle, but during childhood when he lived with Boko. Suddenly, a tear escaped one of the poor turtle's eyes. He grasped the blood red scarf tied to his left bicep.*

Frost *sadly, to himself* : Mother....Father... Why did you have to leave me all alone?

*Frost slowly sunk to the floor, weeping silently*

[SeaThreePeeO]

It didn't take Blane long to reach the 7-11. He scanned the area to make sure no one was round, silently he slipped in.

The young female cashier was too busy reading a magazine to notice him. He leaned over the counter. "This is a stick up!" He smirked.
The young woman nearly fell of her chair. "Blane you idiot!" She gasped clutching her chest. "You wanna give me a heart attack!" Blane smiled and straigtened up a little. "So how is the normal life treating you Mands?"
"It's okay, better than sleeping rough everynight." Mandy started to fill a paper bag with spoiling cakes and fruit.
"Thanks Mands!" Blane said as he took the bag. "Oh before I forget I've got something for you." Blane reached into his jacket and handed Mandy a cell phone.
Mandy eyed the gift up. "It's not stolen is it?"
"No, bought it, got a receipt and everything!"
"Where did you get the money?" Blane just answered the question with a smile.
"I'll catch you later Mands!" Blane started to leave. Mandy lent on the counter.
"Blane your one of a kind!"
"Not anymore sweets" He called back as he left.

((I swear I need to get out more LOL))

"Those sirens are getting close," Oni said. "We should get going, too."


"Yeah... I'm real hungry..." Randi said as she followed Oni, "So hungry I could eat a cat."
Fishro froze, did Randi know he was there? She may have detected anoher menatal presense, but as long as he stayed in the shadows, Randi couldn't fully pinpoint him.

[HorseTechie]

Raph nodded at what Casey said, then gave him a wierd look. "So are you our own personal slave then? Cool, we could use someone to clean up the lair a bit and cook our meals," he teased him.

At the mention of being hungry, Raph realized he was too. Very hungry. "Vinnie's pizza special sounds reeally good about now," he agreed.

[Kali]

"I'm in the mood for pizza," Oni said.

Leo knocked on April's window. April came out of the kitchen and waved him in. "I was just about to call you."
"Did you find something?"
April shook her head. "Just the names you mentioned. All the information was classifed. I couldn't even hack in."
"Okay, thanks April."

[HorseTechie]

"Mmm... ditto. Let's go to Vinnie's then!" Don chimed in.

[coolmike1586]

Casey: *gained a little smirk* yea i will clean the lair with your head next time u smart to me *laughed* im only playin dude lets all go get some of your pizz!

[BlitzTurtle]

(Wait, are Oni and Randi still with the other turtles?)

"Pizza don't do good on an empty stomach." Randi muttered.

[Kali]

(Yep. Leo left the group, but the others and the girls are currently walking to the pizza place, I think. At least they should be, we'll say they are.)

"You can always have breadsticks," Oni told Randi aloud. Mentally, hoping Randi would pick up on it, she asked, ~Is he still following us?~

[HorseTechie]

((Sorry, I sensed a perfect Mikey moment))

Mikey looked over to Randi in surprise now. "Are you kidding? It's better to have an empty stomach for pizza. More room to eat!"

[BlitzTurtle]

(*Picks up Mikey and drops him into HT's lap* here.

>.&lt; my friend Tasuki ran away yesterday! I didn't find out unti this morning. She's back now, but STILL!!!!)

Randi frowned at Mike, and replied to Oni's quiestion. ~I can't say.~ There was a brief pause befor Randi added, ~Its really faint... if it is who I fear it might be, then he's currently not in the physical realm...~

[HorseTechie]

Ack... both about Randi's friend and then getting stuck with another Turtle. :razz:

[coolmike1586]

Casey: I'll have a turtles soup! *looks at everyone else laughingly* hehe he... uh it was spose to be funny?!

[BlitzTurtle]

"Say anything else about eating turtles," Randi warned, "An' I'll kick ya in yer balls so hard, that you'll be spittin' them out!"

Fishro smirked, that most definatly was Tezlof.

[coolmike1586]

Casey: who is this Tezlof guy u atr talkin about?

[Kali]

(Tezlof is Randi's last name, and it was mentioned by a character Casey can neither see nor hear.)

[coolmike1586]

(OH SORRY just uh forget that line then sorry sorry sorry, i didnt know)

Casey: wow i jus had a total mind blank of what we were tlakin about!

[HorseTechie]

Raph just rolled his eyes. He opened the door to Vinnies, then held it open for the other's behind. "Here we go, pizza heaven!"

[coolmike1586]

Casey: *is lookin around and the form and oldness of the building and when he looks in front of him walks into the door* WHAM...oh man oh geez that cant be good, damn door watch were ur goin, it would help if people held it open right!

[Kali]

Oni walks past Casey, rolling her eyes. "Well, if you didn't wear that stupid mask all the time, maybe you could see where you're walking."

[coolmike1586]

Casey: *mumbles and repeats what she said* maybe if u didnt wear that mask all the time u could see where your walkin, bah say sumthin like that again i will teach you how to slide on ur shell *big grin* im just playin

[azure turtle]

(OOC: I just have a quick question....how fast does time pass during the RPG? I'd like to introduce Frost back into the story, but I don't know how, especially since the other turtles haven't gotten into the pizza place yet. I don't want to rush anyone, but I was just curious.)

[Kali]

(OOC: Well, we just got to the pizza place. The speed of time depends on what's going on. You could have Frost go to the surface to find the Turtles, and do some serching.)

[azure turtle]

(OOC: Hmm.....an excellent suggestion, Kali! I'll try to conjure up a post sooner or later)

[azure turtle]

Frost stepped out of the sewer. He felt good to finally be out of the Technodrome, out of the smelly sewers, and most of all, away from Master Shredder. Frost sensed evil from the man, but he had to follow orders. At least the next strike against those turtles won't be executed for several days. Frost pulled at the hood of his cloak, making sure to cover up his turtle features.

"This is such a large city," Frost thought to himself. "There is so much to do and see. If I only had more than a few days to relax, I could explore this vast metropolis at my own pace." Frost continued walking, and he thought about where he should go first. He came across a park, complete with picnic tables and playgrounds, but there was no one to be seen. He decided that the park would be a nice place to meditate and headed towards a large oak tree.

[SeaThreePeeO]

((OOC: Okay I'm gonna try and bring Blane back into play))

Blane headed with his spoils towards the park. There he noticed a figure sat under an oak tree.

Randi glanced to Raph as she walked in, "Do you think any one would mind if I killed that human?"

[azure turtle]

(OOC: Hey Nun, thanks for signing my guestbook! You hold the title of being first :wink: )

Frost slowly opened his eyes. He had barely begun his meditation when he heard the soft crunching of leaves. Frost spotted someone approaching him. He sighed. Will he ever get a few moments of peace? Frost reached over and grabbed his spear, which had been leaning against the oak tree. He sat still, not knowing whether this person was going to be a threat. Pulling the hood of his cloak to better hide his features, Frost calmly stood up and waited for the figure to approach him.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane reconised the spear. He stopped walking and put his hands up.

"Hey! I haven't come to fight!" He protested. Blane stood there for a few seconds before speaking again.

"Mind if I sit?" He guestured to the floor.

[azure turtle]

Frost eyed Blane suspiciously. Yes, this was definitely one of the turtles' allies during the big confrontation earlier.

"What do you want from me?" Frost asked, not taking his eyes off of Blane. "And who exactly are you? The last time I saw you, you were an ally to those turtles." Frost still felt very uneasy by Blane's sudden change in attitude, and he wasn't going to let his guard down so easily.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane ignored Frost's body language.

"I don't want anything from you." He said lowering his hands. Blane sat down on the ground and looked up at Frost. "Who am I?" He questioned. "Sometimes I ask myself the same thing, that and, why am I here?" Blane opened the paper bag and looked into it.

"Sorry about before, nothing personal and ally is such a strong word." He looked back up at Frost. "You'll learn that in this city, besides I wasn't in the mood to have seven bells kicked out of me, Thank you very much!" Blane reached into the bag and pulled something out, he held it up to Forst. "Muffin?"

[HorseTechie]

Randi glanced to Raph as she walked in, "Do you think any one would mind if I killed that human?"

Raph raised an eyebrow, "Kill our man servant? I don't think so!"

[BlitzTurtle]

Raph raised an eyebrow, "Kill our man servant? I don't think so!"

[/quote]

Randi blinked twice at Raphael and then did something she rarely did, she laughed. "Men," She chuckled as she walked inside, "Can't live with them, can't have fun at their expense with out them."

[azure turtle]

Frost looked at the muffin suspiciously. He took it with a frown and carefully examined the pastry. "So, if you are not an ally to the turtles, what do you want from me?" Frost was still very leary of taking a bite. He thought it was odd that Blane was suddenly quite friendly.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane tipped the peak of his hat back and looked at Frost.

"The others said you where part of the foot. I am looking for them. Thought I might join up!"

[azure turtle]

Frost arched a suspicious eyebrow at Blane, before deciding to take a bite out of the muffin. He had to admit that he was feeling a little hungry, but he still didn't trust this Blane character. "Yes, I am a member of the Foot Clan. What are your reasons for seeking membership? As a Foot Soldier, I can tell you from experience that it will take many months, sometimes years, before you can officially join the Clan." Frost took another bite of his muffin, waiting for Blane's answer.

[SeaThreePeeO]

"I dunno." Blane shugged, "Anythings gotta be better than this!" He guestured to the streets.

"Anyway why are you after the others?"

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Nunchucker on 2002-03-04 18:00 ]</font>

[azure turtle]

Frost grunted. "I find it odd that you seem to hate ninjas, but all of a sudden, you wish to become one." Frost finished his muffin. "The others are after me because, as a Foot Soldier, I am their enemy. You should seriously consider the consequnces of joining the Foot Clan. Once you are in, you cannot escape...." Frost suddenly hung his head in sadness. "Anyway, I thank you for the food. Think about it before you decide if this is the life you want. You will be forced to do deeds a normal person would never have to deal with. Assasination, theft, trespassing.....not to mention all the blood and violence involved. If you really think you want this lifestyle, then I can lead you to the leader of the New York Foot. But I am telling you now, it is best to stay away." Frost started to walk away, before turning back to Blane. "And if you do join, you will be forever an enemy to that group of turtles. The streets will no longer be your refuge." With that Frost began to walk away from Blane.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane grew angry at Frost pussyfooting.

"I have lived on the streets all my life! I have seen my share of violence and blood, heck, I've even spilled some." He glared at Frost as he stood up. "I am the master of these streets!"

Blane tried to control his anger. "No one can hide from me for long. I asked you to help me!" Blane turned away from Frost and started walking away.

[azure turtle]

Frost turned back after hearing Blane's outburst. "So, you are serious about joining? Hmph.....if you wish to get tangled in this ever-growing web, then you can follow me. Do not say that I never warned you." Frost started walking away once again. "I am returning to the Technodrome..."

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Wait!" Blane called out as he ran after Frost. Maybe this was the best way to find Anya.

[Kali]

Randi blinked twice at Raphael and then did something she rarely did, she laughed. "Men," She chuckled as she walked inside, "Can't live with them, can't have fun at their expense with out them."

Oni laughed as she took a seat. "I hear you, Randi." Then she looked up to try and decide what she wanted to eat.

[azure turtle]

Frost paused so Blane could catch up. "I hope you do not mind walking through sewers...," he muttered.

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi sat down next to Oni and rested her chin in her hands; she was hungry, but she also knew her body well: heavy foods like Pizza only made Randi feel even sicker when she didn't have anything to eat for a while. Breadsticks had butter and sometimes, spices on them... but it would have to do.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane pulled a face at Forst's suggestion of the sewer route. Some how the idea of trudging through the city's sewers did not fill him with joy. But then needs must, Blane thought to himself. He continued to walk beside Frost in silence, wondering what he would see when he finally got to the technodrome.

[azure turtle]

Frost walked in silence as Blane followed him throughout the city. They passed through the slums as the continued, running into the occasional prostitute and homeless person. Eventually, Frost stopped in front of a manhole cover. He opened it up and gestured to Blane. Silence between the two mutant turtles was broken.

"This is the entrance to our route," Frost said solemnly. "Are you sure you wish to continue?" Frost stood motionless as he waited for Blane's answer.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane stared down at the open man-hole cover. He muttered something under his breath before turning to Frost. "Yeah, I'm sure."

[coolmike1586]

*Casey goes and sits by Oni*

Casey: so waht are we ahving this time?

[HorseTechie]

"The works," Raph replied bluntly. He thought it would be funny to not admit what those toppings were.

"Mmm.. and I gotta have the Expectant Mother's special... tuna fish with pickles and peanutbutter, covered over with motery jack." Mikey nodded. He then looked over to Randi, "Funny, for such a tough girl, you got a pretty weak stomach."

[coolmike1586]

*looks at Mikey and what he says and chokes on his water*

Casey: *HACK HACK* ha ha that is pretty funny

[HorseTechie]

Don just smiles "And they think I'm wierd for liking plain cheese pizza, sprinkled with green olives."

[azure turtle]

Frost climbed down into the sewers, landing with an audible splash as his feet touched the disgusting sludge. He looked up, waiting for Blane to climb down. "Do not forget to close the manhole cover before you descend," Frost called up.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane groaned and stared at Frost. He started to climb down the sewer ladder pausing to pull the man-hole cover back into place.

[azure turtle]

(OOC: :lol: Hey Nun, I'm really enjoying how are characters are interacting with one another! This is fun!)

Frost waited patiently as Blane closed the manhole cover. Suddenly the sewers were almost pitch black. Frost stood still, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. Moments later, he started to walk through the sludge, making audible "sloshing" noises. "Come along," Frost called over his shoulder to Blane. "The Technodrome is quite a walk from here."

[SeaThreePeeO]

(OOC: I know, they kinda fit together!)

Blane followed behind Forst, complaining loudly about having to walk through the filth of the city.

"What have you been upto today Blane? Well guys, I have been upto my shins in the sewers, sloshing through God knows what." "Why would you want to do that? Oh I don't know! For fun!"

Blane continued to whinge as the two turtles made their way down the dark tunnels.

[azure turtle]

Frost couldn't help but smile at Blane's constant complaints. He may have been an enemy, but Frost was starting to enjoy his company. Frost chuckled as Blane continued to rant about having to walk through the sludge. "So, the king of the streets does not like walking through filth? I am sorry, your majesty, but this is the only way to the Technodrome." Frost couldn't resist teasing Blane a little bit.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane stopped complaining, had this stranger actually laughed? It had been so long since Blane has spent any time with anyone who made sense.

"Your apology has been accepted flunky." He smiled. "By the way, my name's Blane." Blane quickly went back to complaining, this time about the rats.

[azure turtle]

Frost sighed as Blane started complaining about all the rats. And since Blane decided to introduce himself, Frost thought that it was only proper that he should do the same. "My name is Frost," he said plainly. "I would say that it is a pleasure to meet you, but we first met on opposite sides of the battlefield," Frost smirked. He paused suddenly. At first, Frost disregarded Blane's complaints about the rats, but Frost noticed the number of rats increasing as they got deeper into the sewers. "Odd," Frost whispered to Blane, "there were no rats when I made my way to the surface earlier."

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi's eyes flashed mischieviously, "The only time I ever have a... 'weak stomach' is when I haven't had anything to eat in a few days... this is one of those times..." Though the coke Raph had offered her in the lair had helped, and hindered...

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane quickened his pace so that he was level with Frost. "You know, no that I'm worried or anything." He said keeping an eye on the ever growing mass of rats. "But maybe we should get a move on."

[azure turtle]

Frost looked at Blane. "Yes, and we should hurry...I do not like the looks of this." Frost continued walking forward, noticing that more and more rats continued to swarm around them. "This is not a good omen...."

[HorseTechie]

"You worry too much too," Mike shook his head at Randi. "Like, enjoy life to the fullest! Oh... pizza time!"

Don came back with the pizzas they ordered, and he too sat down at the table. After they ate awhile, DOn looked tot he others and then Leo. "So... what do we do now? There's Randi's threat, then we have rabid alligator's and other mutant turtle punks running around."

Raph sighed, looking to Oni then back down at his plate. He was still worried about her, but his emotions just turned into blunt anger. "This just sucks..."

[Kali]

Leo sat back in his seat. "Geez, what happened to the good old days, when problems use to come at us one at a time. Leatherhead's out of commission for awhile, and the other two Turtles retreated. It seems to me like Randi's mission has top priority."

Oni finished off her first slice and leaned forward on her elbows, licking her fingers. ~Is that guy still watching us?~ She mentally asked Randi.

[BlitzTurtle]

"Me? Enjoy life? Ha! Maybe when I actually have something to enjoy..." She traild off, or some one. "Never mind." She looked to Leo, and gave him warningful eyes, "The problems with my mission are just getting started, Mr. Leonardo."
~Yes...~ She replied to Oni, ~He stepped out of the shadows once just earlier to snatch a piece of food... its Luke Fishro, the bastard...~

[HorseTechie]

'Mr. Leonardo?' Raph thought to himself with a snort. 'Why does he get the respect?'

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane turned round several times. "Do you think they can smell fear?" He asked Frost, trying to keep his voice from cracking.

[coolmike1586]

Casey: *stares off in the distance out of the pizza places window*

[azure turtle]

"I...I do not know," Frost stammered. This is the first time he had witnessed anything like this. "Perhaps we should turn back..." Frost turned around and gasped in shock. A wall of rats had formed behind them.

"Who are you? You are trespassing in my territory!" a voice boomed from up ahead. Startled, Frost turned his attention from the wall of rats to a man wrapped in brown bandages who now stood before the two turtles.

"Uh....uh...." Frost was at a loss for words. The man had rats swarming all over him.

"Well?" the man's voice boomed again. "What's wrong? Rat got your tongue?" He laughed menacingly.

Frost turned to Blane. "This is not looking very good..."

(OOC: Nun, Rat King is going to be in the public's domain, so feel free to use him! I just wanted to test our characters' new found friendship. I'm evil, I kow :evilgrin: )

[SeaThreePeeO]

((OOC Okay matey! Here I go))

Blane stepped back a bit. God how he hated rats. "A slight navigational error we asure you." Blane cleared his throat trying to sound braver then he felt. The strange new person showed no emotion. "We'll just be leaving, right?" Blane turned to Frost.

[azure turtle]

Frost was too stunned to move. This was one of the strangest beings he had ever encountered. Sure, he was used to seeing mutants, but a man that the rats seemed to adore was just too weird. He snapped out of his shock, and nodded in agreement with Blane. "Yes, we were...uh...just passing through! We mean no harm. All we seek is passage through these parts of the sewers." Frost looked at the man with hopeful eyes.

"You still haven't told me who you are," the man boomed. Frost cringed. This man had such a loud voice.

"I am Frost," the blue turtle stated. He turned to Blane, and waited for him to introduce himself.

[Kali]

(OOC: You guys should know that the Rat King usually asks for a 'tax' before he'll let you into his territory. We ran into him in like chapter three.)

[SeaThreePeeO]

"I am known as Blane." Blane answered, getting slightly freaked out by the rats. "We're only passing through, but I can see your busy so we'll just go!" Blane started to back up.

'Mr. Leonardo?' Raph thought to himself with a snort. 'Why does he get the respect?'



(Actually, Randi rarely really means 'Mister' in a respectful way unless its a high ranking officer or some one like Splinter... That time she meant it with slight sarcasim.)
Randi eyed Raph as she heard him snort indignantly, ~Don't be too jealous,~ She teased darkly, ~I was being sarcacastic... Leo is no one I respect... ~ She then looked down at the breadsticks, contimplating on whether or not to take one. As she did, she eyed the shadows near the back wall, that would be the best place for Fishro to hide.

[azure turtle]

The great number of rats started to get on Frost's nerves. Maybe seeking passage wasn't such a good idea. "Y-yes, you do seem to be very busy," Frost stammered, "so we will go back to where we came from. We meant no harm..." Frost joined in backing up with Blane.

"Fools!" the man yelled. "Don't you know who I am? I am the master of rats, the ruler of these parts, I...am the Rat King," he said with a scowl. "And you can't trespass on my territory without paying a tax. So, what do you have to offer me?"

Frost continued backing up, but he suddenly remembered the wall of rats blocking their way. He turned around, and sure enough, the rats were still there. Frost turned around and stared at the Rat King fearfully.

"What's wrong? Leaving so soon without paying homage to the King?" the Rat King laughed.

Frost turned to Blane and whispered, "I hope you have something we can give to this mad man. I have nothing but my spear and cloak." Frost looked worried. He certainly didn't want to become rat food.

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Oh geez!" Blane hissed patting himself down. He didn't have much to call his own. Blane turned to the Rat King and did something even he wasn't expecting himself to do. Blane knelt down in the sludge and lowered his head. "I am sorry your Majesty, I have no money, perhaps you would be willing to trade?" Blane looked up towards the Rat King and then to Frost. "Kneel!" He whispered.

[azure turtle]

"W-what?! What are you doing?" Frost hissed in a whisper. He let out a groan and followed Blane's lead, kneeling on the sludge. "You better have a plan," Frost whispered.

[Kali]

(OOC: Ooh, can I give another tip? The Rat King likes shiney objects and has no use for money.)

[SeaThreePeeO]

((OOC Thanks Kali, I am sure I have something shiny in my pocket))

Blane pulled out several objects from his jacket. "I don't have much, just my gun, smokes and my knife." He looked at Frost for some sort of help.

[azure turtle]

(OOC: Ah, thanks for that tidbit, Kali!)

Frost gritted his teeth. He didn't have much to begin with, and he didn't like the idea of parting with any his belongings. "All I have are my spear, my cloak, and this scarf," Frost said, pointing to his left arm. "The scarf is off limits," Frost sneered.

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Wait! I do have this." Blane produced his most tresured posession, a small sliver locket. He held it out to the Rat King hoping he would take it.

[azure turtle]

(OOC: Nun, I think it's fair to say that it's your call whether or not the Rat King takes Blane's offer. After all, he's your character, and I have no idea what the locket symbolizes. Don't be afraid to use the Rat King in your posts! He's public property, heh heh :grin: )

[SeaThreePeeO]

((OOC I am new to this so I don't really want to control two characters, my brain just won't cope ADD))

[azure turtle]

(OOC: Well, okay, if you're sure....Here goes nothing :smile: )

The Rat King gazed at the shiny object Blane held before him. "Hmmm," he pondered. The Rat King stepped closer to examine the locket. Frost couldn't help but stare at this man, covered in rats. "How could he bare to live like this?" Frost thought to himself. He nervously looked at Blane. "I hope he knows what he's doing," Frost frowned.

The Rat King gently took the locket from Blane's hands, turning it over with his fingers. "What is this?" he questioned Blane.

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Its a locket" He answered. "Sliver I think. You can have it, I really have no need for it now." Blane glaced at Frost, he was starting to get cold kneeling in the wash of the sewers.

[azure turtle]

The Rat King gazed at the locket with wonder. He seemed to like it. "A locket, eh?" his voice lowered a few decibels. "Very well. I accept this offering. I grant you passage through my part of the sewers. Now go, before I change my mind."

Frost quickly stood up from kneeling and started to walk as fast as he could, away from the Rat King. He turned back to make sure Blane was following him.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane struggled to his feet, he had been kneeling too long. He ran to catch up with Frost.

[azure turtle]

As Blane caught up with him, Frost turned around to make sure that the Rat King didn't change his mind. Frost was startled that the self-proclaimed king had disappeared without a trace. Not even one rat could be spotted in the sewers. He sighed. "That was a close call," Frost said, wiping his brow. "If it were not for you, we could have been dead. Thank you," Frost smiled. He felt odd thanking someone. He had often been a lone wolf all his life, and rarely interacted with others. Frost shrugged, and continued to walk towards the Technodrome.

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Don't worry about it!" Blane sighed. He turned and looked back down the tunnel. "Did you get a load of that guy?" He smiled. "And I thought you were weird."

It was nice to have someone to talk to, all his life Blane had thought he had been the only one of his kind. 'Doesn't life deal you weird cards', thought Blane. 'This morning I was the only one.'

[azure turtle]

Frost smirked at Blane's comment. "Yes, the Rat King was odd," Frost said. "I am just grateful we got out of there in one piece." He shuddered at the thought of all those rats swarming the sewers. Frost continued to keep walking onward. "And you are as strange as they come," he chuckled.

[coolmike1586]

Casey: did anyone see what i jus saw??? cause i think i am seeing things

[BlitzTurtle]

Fishro stiffened, 'That human' he thought, glaring at Casey, 'Did he see me?' It was a possibility. 'Maranda, you sank to a new low, hanging out with... humans...'
Randi glanced to Casey, "Oh, now you're halucinating?" She asked, though she knew what he most likely saw.
~I know you're there, Fishro...~
~Yes, I know you know, Tezlof,~ He replied, ~But do they?~
~Why should I tell you such information?~ Randi replied, ~I should just shoot you...~
~I'd go into th shadows before you could do such a thing.~
~Your plan won't work, Fishro.~ Randi told him as she stared at the table appearing to be deep in thought, ~You'll die, and if it isn't by me... I'm sure that my allies can do the job.~
~IF they know I'm here.~
~IF they Know...~ Randi replied.

Randi looked up at the group again and eyed Oni as if to say, 'any-time-now'. She then sent a telepathic hint to all that were there, even Casey, to the location of the spy. She watched as the slight realizeation grew on their faces. Now they all knew with out knowing.

Fishro scowled, he couldn't read the expression on Randi's face. Was she talking to the others? No, her eyes weren't dialated to their full extent, she could't talk to them... right?

[coolmike1586]

*Casey hurriedly gets up and runs outside and looks around and as he is looking around starts turning in circles as if he just seen a ghost*

Casey: wha...what was that? *places hand on his forehead and bends over from confusement*

[HorseTechie]

Don looked at Randi again. He'd been quiet, brooding about her threat of that bomb mentioned. But something about her intriqued him. She may seem as tempered as Raph, but she also appeared very well educated. Even a psionic.

It was understandable why she and Oni seemed to have a link after that mental turmoil earlier. He noticed the two girls exchanging eyecontact since they came in the pizzeria.

"Who is it?" He asked Randi, with a sincere voice.

(( It'll be cute! I'll have Don flirting with ya in this RP, Randi! ))

[Kali]

Oni slipped a dart shuriken out of her gautlet, keeping it out of sight, but ready to be thrown.

Leo tried to look around the pizzaria without making it too obvious.

[BlitzTurtle]

(Ah well, Don IS Randi's second fave...)
Fishro slipped into the shadows again, and hid in the shadows that the purple masked turtle made just as he asked, 'who is it?' to Randi. Who is who? So they DO know some one was here! He grinned, apparently though, Maranda had failed to tell them who the spy was!
Randi's eyes flashed at Donatello, he could have very well ruined everything! And it didn't help that she couldn't sense Fishro's mind any more. "Mark McGuire." She replied, ~Play along.~ She ordered to Don, "Thats my favorite baseball player." She casually stood up, "Why do ya ask?"
This totally threw Fishro for a loop, what was goin on now? Was Randi covering up for the purple one's mistake? Or was that what he had really asked.

[HorseTechie]

Raph could sense now that all of them were on edge. He still worked at finishing his slice of pizza, but he stopped with the silly banter.

Don cracked a smile, immediately picking up on her attempt to retain their low profile. He had a very good guess now those miltary spies of hers are in the area.

Whether she actually knew it was there or not, Don nodded at the signed photograph of the Chicago baseball player on the wall near them. "Just curious to see how much you know," he made an effort to sound impressed.

Randi stayed quiet for a short moment; in truth, she had pulled that out of no where. Yes, she loved baseball, but she knew nothing about any human teams. Her real favorite team was the Ragers from North Benning Island. Nikolai String was her real favorite player. "Not much to impress anybody..." She walked over to the display, and looked it over. She then looked over at Don, motioning for him to come over. "Who's yer fave then?"

[HorseTechie]

Don shrugged. "The Yankees of course. But I don't watch the games much to have a favorite player."

[azure turtle]

Frost continued making his way through the dark sewers. He turned to his companion. "Only a little longer, and we shall be at the Technodrome," Frost said. "I am still uncertain as to how Master Shredder will react to you..." he trailed off.

[coolmike1586]

*Casey came in and sat back down and looks as if he saw a ghost*

Casey: im....ok....IM OK! lets eat!

[HorseTechie]

"Righteo dude!" Mikey served Casey a big oozing slice of tuna fish pizza.

[BlitzTurtle]

"If you wanna see real base ball, you've gotta see the Ragers." Randi replied and gazed around the room. She hated this! Fishro could be anywhere! He could behiding in the combined shadow that the table and the others made, or he could easily behining in her shadow! The cat had always been creepy...

Ragers! Bah! Fishro moved from the turtle's table shadow to a shadow closer to Randi. He was annoyed, they obviously weren't going back to their headquarters any time soon--especially since Randi knew he was there. He could snatch her now, pull her into the shadow world using her own shadow. Fishro had always been physically stronger than Randi, and none of her 'allies' were close enough to be of an assistance to her!

[HorseTechie]

"Ra-gers?" Don furrowed his brow. "You mean Rangers?"

But at the same time, he thought to experiement and see if Randi could pick up on his interjected thought. ~Why would you not want your spies to know we sense them?~

Sure, she may make fun of him again for wondering that, but really, it seemed it should be the other way around.

"I mean the Ragers." Randi replied, "Not Rangers."

~He isn't sure if you guys know.~ Randi explained, ~I know this guy, if he doesn't know something as a fact, he becomes worried... haisty... he-~
Randi stopped and jumped as sh felt Fishro's paws reach out from under her and nearly grabbed her, "Never mind what I just said Don," she growled, "Fishro! Its just like you ta hide!"
"And so?" the shadows seemed to reply, "An unseen enemy is a dangerous one."
"A pissed of Tezlof is murderous one." Randi retorted.
"Ah, but you are always angry about something," the shadows replied again, "Does that make you a serial killer?"

[coolmike1586]

*Casey looks down on his plate at the tuna pizza*

Casey: uh no i think i will pass on the TUNA pizza and go for the cheese, thanks anyways

[HorseTechie]

"Whatever you like dude!" Mike replied, while licking some sauce his fingers.

Raph stood upright, when Randi started getting excited about that spy watching them. His eyes were drawn to the darkness, wondering what was the best way to 'attack' a shadow.

Don scrutinized the shadow, only sparing a moment to glance back at the others, before answering Fishro's interrogation for Randi. "And would erradicating human lives from sea to shining sea be considered genocide?"

[BlitzTurtle]

"Ah, all in a matter of opinion." The shadows replied, "And I am only--..."
"Don't give him that 'I am only doing my job' crap Fishro!" Randi snarled, "You know very well the dangers of what Marx is doing!"
"You're right." The voice seemed to be more behind Randi and Donatello now, "I do, but I also know of the glory! Think of it, an entire nation of mutants!"
"That's if the bombs actually work!" Randi said, not bothering to turn around. Fishro may be behind her now, but he could change location at any time.
"Oh, trust me, they do!" Fishro replied, "Did you really think that the Benning Islands were the only uncharted areas that the government owned?" He laughed, "Come now, Maranda! I know you're smarter than that! Think about it!"
Randi's eyes widened and then narrowed; of course, why would Marx want to use something that he didn't know worked?

[HorseTechie]

Don also narrowed his eyes, trying to understand this new tip the Shadow was telling them. ~They have access to something else too?~ Don prodded Randi.

Raph and Mike exchanged glances. Then Mike whispered, "Quick, how did Peter Pan handle his shadow problem?"

[coolmike1586]

*Casey moving his head back and forth between Randi and Don tryin to keep up*

Casey:*stands up* WHAT ARE WAITING FOR?! LETS GO!

[BlitzTurtle]

"YOU CAN'T DO MUCH OF ANYTHING CASEY JONES!" Randi snarled and quickly forced herself to calm down.
"Ha! Ha!" The shadows farthest from the groups said, "Listen to Maranda, sometimes she actually USES those brains of hers."
Randi growled, "Come on out, Fishro." She ordered.
"And put myself at risk? I think not."
Randi's eyes sparkled, "Oh, so you are going to hide like you did that day so many years back, huh? So terrified of your own form that you hid inside that shadow void and cried the entire time..." If there was one way to get Fishro out of hiding, it was to play on his past.
"I did not cry!" A black form growled.
~No one attack him, not yet... I want him alive...~ Randi said.
"Yes you did, I remember it!" She then said in a mocking tone,"'I dun wanna be a kitty cat'!"
"I did not say that! And if my memory serves me correct, you HATED becoming a turtle."
"Ah, true, but I didn't cry about it."
"This coming from the woman who went to the assylum for three months..." Fishro trailed off and move slightly closer, still half way in the shadow void.

"The Technodrome? Master Shredder?" Blane questioned, dragging his feet. "This sounds better and better." He sighed.

Blane looked over to Frost. "So what got you involved with the Foot?"

[Machias Banshee]

*Meanwhile, not too far away, a pair of wise old ears listen to the conversation between the two figures trudging through the sewers...*

Hmm...I must find out who these two new turtles are...

*He follows the two males through the darkness of the sewers.*

[HorseTechie]

(( suddenly gasps at Splinter's appeearance *hehe* WB! ))

Don held out a hand to hold back Raph and Casey from solving this problem in their own way. The verbal battle between Randi and Fishro was starting to get very nasty. But Don didn't want to see what this shadow could do if they attacked it at the wrong time.

Raph was more than restless, and decided to do something. If they couldn't fight it, what if they just left it. As much as the idea sounded crazy, he decided it be harder for a shadow to 'hide' in the wide open of the streets.

"Let's... go... out," Raph whispered to the others before walking out the door.

[Kali]

Leo stood but was too late to stop Raph. He'd been listening to Randi's conversation with the "shadow" in silence, since he really had no idea what to do about it. He waited for Randi to decide what to do before he tried anything.

[Saisei]

Amaya tugged the hood of her coat further over her head as she made her way down the road. Her eyes were cast to the ground, in an attempt to better conceal her reptilian features from anyone who might be watching. At the end of the block, she paused for a moment catching the warm scent of food drifting towards her, causing her mind to wander.

She resisted the urge to look into the window of the pizza shop as she passed by, reminding herself that even if she did dare enter, she lacked the money needed to buy anything. Her thoughts shifted back into alert mode as she nearly walked into someone stepping out of the door. Her first instinct was to reach up once again to lower her hood, but she forgot that in doing so, her hand was exposed, giving the person a brief glance of green skin.

[HorseTechie]

Despite Leo's warning glance, Mike followed after Raph as well. But the two of them didn't get very far outside.

Also feeling somewhat self conscius of his appearance in the presence of other strangers, Raph turned his back to the person walking along the sidewalk. It took Mike longer to react, when his eye caught the tell tale sign of differently colored skin.

"Raph..." Mike whispered to him, "Look at... her, when she goes by, and tell me I'm not seeing things again."

Raph looked at him, then at the figure as she went by. "Yeah, well, she looks like another New Yorker to me," he muttered, wondering if they should just go back in the shop now.

"But her hand looked green," Mike insisted as his tried to keep his voice down.

"She was wearing green gloves...?"

Casey: man i hae had enough of that to last me forever

Casey: *whispers* hey guys whats goin on?

[HorseTechie]

"Tryin' to get Mr. Creepy to come out here, when Mike starts seeing things," Raph sighed.

[BlitzTurtle]

"Yes you did, I remember it!" She then said in a mocking tone,"'I dun wanna be a kitty cat'!"
"I did not say that! And if my memory serves me correct, you HATED becoming a turtle."
"Ah, true, but I didn't cry about it."
"This coming from the woman who went to the assylum for three months..." Fishro trailed off and move slightly closer, still half way in the shadow void.


"Ah yes, you had to be insane in my old line of work." Randi replied, ignoring the fact that Raph, Mike and casey had left--that Casey was useless anyways.
"In that, Maranda, I agree wit you." He replied.
"Ah good, so where at an agreement. Come out, and you won't get hurt--unless you attack us..."
"How can I trust you?"
"How can you not?" Randi retorted, "Is it a deal? A cease fire?"
"...deal..." He stepped all the way.

[coolmike1586]

(lol thanks blitz)

Casey: so are u to jus gonna stand ther or what?

*looks at Raph and Mike and then walks forward and taps the figure on the shoulder*

Casey: excuse me? um hello?

[azure turtle]

"The Technodrome? Master Shredder?" Blane questioned, dragging his feet. "This sounds better and better." He sighed.

Blane looked over to Frost. "So what got you involved with the Foot?"

Frost sighed. "It is a long story," he frowned. "My earliest memory was living in the mountains. I was very young, and I survived by foraging for fruits, nuts, insects, and anything else that was edible. I had already mutated, but I had no idea how or why. An elderly couple found me one day while they were hiking through the forest. They were intrigued by my appearance, and they visited every day, bringing me food. Eventually, they took me under their wing and taught me what they could. They were very surprised when I first started to speak," Frost chuckled at the memory. "I was happy throughout most of my childhood, until the bank robbery..." his face hardened. "They perished during a bank robbery. A group of thugs mercilessly killed them and other innocents in the bank. After I lost my parents, I came to live with Boko, my Father's nephew. I was only seven when I began to live with him. Since he is a soldier of the Foot Clan, he trained me hard for ten years so I could become an elite warrior. I have been with the Foot Clan for the past two years and was recommended by Boko to serve under Master Shredder. And that is how I came to be here." Frost sighed deeply. "That is my story," he turned to Blane. "Your turn. What is your story?" he asked.

[Saisei]

Amaya's heart skipped a beat as she noticed the stranger come in her direction and felt the slight tap on her shoulder. Stepping away from his reach, she spun around to face him noticing that he wasn't the one she had first run into. Her hands went to her pockets, which were conveniently made to enable her to touch the weapons in her belt, as she sized up the speaker and the two others that stood near by.

"Look, buddy. I don't talk to strangers and I'm kinda in a rush right now, so if you'll 'scuse me..." She began to turn away, knowing very well that shouldn't have let him touch her. Hopefully, he hadn't been able to notice any of her features under the hood, but the shape and feel of the shell on her back wasn't easy to miss.

[HorseTechie]

Don breifly held his breath, surprised now that Fishro agreed to come out and face them. But it still could be a trick, he wasn't too sure about this guy yet.

_____________

"Go ahead, you're the human," Raph muttered as Casey approach the lady walking down the street.

After hearing her response, Raph looked to Mike. "Sounds like a typical New Yorker to me."

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane carried on down the tunnel with Frost, unaware of the new presence following them. He listened carefully to Forst's story, nodding every now and then.

"My story?" Blane questioned, rubbing the back of his neck. "well." He started. "I don't remember much from my early years. I lived in England before I came here. I was found wondering the streets of london at the age of five. I was taken in by a family, much like yourself." Blane looked down at the sludge they were trudging through and sighed. "Unlike you I didn't have a happy childhood, I ran away from home many times and found myself living on the streets. I guess I was looking for the truth about myself." He shruged. "I found it alright, I found that I was different to everyone else and that most people hated me for that. All except Anya, she got me away from the gangs and helped me survive on the streets. But that's all history now, that was before I came here."

Blane looked at Frost. "I guess I am just looking for acceptance. I just seem to look in all the wrong places."

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter listened intently, and shook his head*
thoughts

SpC:They have both had many difficulties and hardships in their lives. Becoming allies with Shredder would be a dangerous choice for them...

*Splinter followed more closely, waiting to see what they would do next...*

[coolmike1586]

*Casey Jogged up again and tapped on the figures should*

Casey: hold on there, i have sumthin i think u will want

[azure turtle]

((Yay, Machias is back in the RPG!!))

Frost nodded in agreement. "I know the feeling," he said with a solemn look. "For years I have searched for a meaning to my existence. Why I am here, and how I came to be. I have yet to find those answers. I always thought I was alone until I arrived here in New York. Now I realize that there are others like me, like us. It is a shame that I could not speak to those turtles earlier. I was hoping they might have had answers." Frost continued walking, but he noticed Blane's look of disgust at the sludge. "Do not worry, we are almost there."

[Saisei]

Amaya paused with an exasperated sigh and turned again. "How the hell could you possibly know what I do or do not want?" She was getting uncomfortable around this man and it was evident by the sharp tone in her voice. Her eyes widened in surprise as a sudden breeze chose that moment to knock back her hood. Knowing now that it was nearly impossible for any of them to have missed the sight, she didn't bother pulling it back on. Instead, she quickly took the two steel ribbed fans from her pocket, readying herself for their reactions.

[coolmike1586]

*Casey's eye's widened and pointed back between Raph and Mike and this female turtle*

Casey: wha..yea. but.....how.. did she...AH....guys u might wanna come see this!

[HorseTechie]

"Ooo... they're like coming out of the woodwork now," Mike gasped.

"And she looks just as feisty as the other two," Raph agreed, drawing one of his sai and leaving a hand on the other under his coat.

Mike stepped forward, holding his bare green hands up in surrender to her. "It's cool, Lady... our friends was just, uh... making sure you were okay."

~Becareful,~ Randi warned Leo, Don and whomever else of their party that was left, ~Even if he doesn't go back on his word, he could always find a loop hole.~
"You do realize, Maranada, that my job is to find you and take you to Marx."
"Yeah," she replied, "I know that Fishro, but you'll have a hard time doing so at the moment. I doubt my friends here will let you just take me."
"You?" He chuckled, "With frieds? Now that is a new one."

[Saisei]

"What the..." Amaya blinked as she spotted the color and shape of his hands, wondering whether or not she was seeing things. As realistic as they seemed, she wouldn't let herself trust them too quickly and held her stance. She took the time to notice the armed one behind him, frowning at the sai in his hand before looking up to try to visualize the features beneath the shadow of their fedoras. The human's neither frightened nor hostile reaction had surprised her at first, but not nearly as much as the sight of other mutants in the city.

Lowering her weapons slightly, she approached the one who had spoken, keeping an eye on the others. Watching him for any sign of disaproval, she slowly raised her hand to remove his hat. "You mind?..."

[HorseTechie]

(( "Hay, not on the first date, lady!" j/k :lol: ))

"Not...really," Mikey smirked as the mutant turtle lady reached up to take off his hat.

Raph dropped his hands and rolled his eyes in disbelief.

Inside:
Don just nodded in response to Fishro. "Yes, you heard her correctly."

[BlitzTurtle]

"Then Hades has frozen over." Fishro grinned evilly, "Not that it matters any..." he looked to Randi again, "even if you are stopped, Tezlof, we will be successful."
"Bah, even if youhae proven that those... monstrosities work, you won't succeed!"
"Funny, wasn't it you who said that the United States has lowered its guard?" Fishro asked, "Even after sept-..."
"After then, they only expect it from those who'd be labeled 'terrorists'--yes, I did say that--but even then, it won't make your job any easier." Randi was getting annoyed, she did not want to discuss strategy with FISHRO! "Enough of this." She spat, "You are going to stay with us."
~Meaning no going back to the lair,~ Randi told Leo,Oni and Don, ~He'd just love that.~
"Stay with you?" Fishro laughed, "An' why would I do that?"
"Because, if you get out of my sights, I kill you." Randi said bluntly, "And you know I don't need to use physical harm to do so... meaning no going into the shadows, little Fishie."
Fishro growled and muttered profanities under his breath; patience, that was what he needed. Patience...

[Kali]

'Where can we go aside from the lair?' Leo thought. And now that they had this Fishro guy, what were they going to do with him?

Oni still keep alert for any sudden movements. Because it looked like the others were watching carefully, she took a second to look out the window to see where the others had gone. They were still outside, and there was another person out there with them.
'I don't believe it... another one?' she thought to herself.

[Saisei]

Amaya caught herself staring as she took off his hat. Any doubts on the possibility of there being other mutants had now vanished completely . She broke her astounded gaze as she noticed the smirk on the turtle's face. Pushing the hat into his hand, she stepped back and put up her weapons. "So," she nudged her head to indicate the human, "does your friend have the habit of checkin' up on every New Yorker who passes?"

[HorseTechie]

Don stifled a sigh. This guy sounded like a big pain, and part of him wished their was a way to contain him somewhere so they others could be more at ease... Don looked to Randi, another worry still bothering him. ~I take he can not read our thoughts like you can?~

***

"Not unless we tell him too," Mike shrugged, innocent like. He put his hat back on out of habit. "Are you new around here... or?"

Raph hand been glancing through the window, and noticed Oni's inquisative look. It also looked like things were coming to a close or soemthing. "Hey, we better check back inside..." Raph interrupted Mike.

[Saisei]

"To the city? Depends how you look at it..." Amaya trailed off, but was saved by the other one's comment. She turned towards him to avoid being questioned any further on the subject. "Why? What's going on in there?"

[HorseTechie]

Raph just gave the new face a look of indifference. "Some kinda freaky military spy threatening..." he paused, realizing how strange the explanation alone sounded.

"Or you could find out yourself," Raph pushed open the door.

[Saisei]

Amaya gave him a questioning glance, intrigued by his explanation. Pulling the hood back over her head, she stepped up beside him, trying to listen to the conversation through the open door. After a moment, she decided to enter but remained near the doorway, leaning on the wall.

[HorseTechie]

"Well.. say hi to our new prisoner of war," Don told Raph and the others coming inside.

"What? We're keeping the creep now?" Raph walked up to Don and Leo to excahnge glances. He then lowered his voice to a mocking tone. "Mhh... can't I just kill him and be done with it?"

Mike lagged behind, looking once to the girl. "Yeah, GI Kitty gone bad... by the way, I'm Michaelangelo."

[Saisei]

Amaya took the time to analyze her surroundings, studying the new group around her. She glanced back as Michaelangelo adressed her, smirking at his comment. "Just when I was beginning to think I knew this city..." She spared another look around the room, hesitating a bit before deciding to continue. "The name's Amaya."

[coolmike1586]

Casey: Great i pull u back and all u do is quak at Raph and Mike, i cant believe it, it happens with everyone, "its a talent"

[BlitzTurtle]

~No, he can only hide and control shadows.~ Randi replied and then said to Raph, "That pleasure belongs ta me."
"You-..."
"Shut up Fishro." Randi snapped she then looked to Leo, "ther might be a place we can stay... I stayed there for a few days..."

[Saisei]

Looking around, Amaya tried to spot the figure which seemed to preoccupy the group, but it was all to no avail. Getting irritated at the confusion, she spoke to no one in particular, waiting for a decent explanation. "So what's this guy done to get everyone's death wish anyway?"

[coolmike1586]

*Casey looks at her as if she is a woman who doesnt know proper grammer*

Casey: geez u dont see or hear that everyday!

[Kali]

Oni fought the urge to reach out and smack Casey over the head. Instead, she just answered the new turtle's question. "He's part of a military organization we're trying to stop. Don't ask for the long story, you'll get a headache."

Leo nodded to Randi. "Let's go there then. Can you secure this guy for the trip?"

[coolmike1586]

*Casey laughs*

Casey: look you did it again, u called her a he lol ok sorry *ducks to watch the swings*

[Kali]

Leo sighed. "We're talking about Fishro, Casey."

Oni started to absent mindedly twirl her dart shuriken around her fingers. Her patience was wearing thin.

[BlitzTurtle]

"I don't need to be, 'secured'." Fishro growled, "I-..."
"I can secure him." Randi said quickly and before Fishro could do or say anything, a plate struck him in the back of the head and knocked him out.
"Thats what he gets for trusting the word of an enemy." Randi said and then looked to Amaya, "Hey girl, welcome to the confusion."

[HorseTechie]

For the love of god, are we gonna have to get another mod in here too? Friggin' spam idiots who have too much time on their hands...

[Saisei]

I'm with ya there, HT!

[coolmike1586]

I have to agree on that, cause this is ridiculous

[Saisei]

(Back to the rpg...)

Amaya gave Casey a quick glare before turning towards Randi and Oni with a smirk. "Right...so where exactly are we goin'?"

[coolmike1586]

*Casey points to the others*

Casey: im jus along to make sure these guys dont get into trouble, and if so, then im here to help....

[azure turtle]

((OOC: Don't people have anything better to do than spam the forums? If you don't like it here, lol (or should I call you Speed?), get the hell out))

Frost continued walking through the sewers with Blane following closely. Frost came to a halt when they came across a giant hole in the wall of the sewer. "Here is the last stretch to the Technodrome," Frost pointed to the hole. "Once we go through that tunnel, we should finally arrive at our destination."

[lol]

lol. Who is SPEEd?

[Saisei]

(You sure you don't already know? cuz you're doing the exact same thing he was with all these long, blank messages... And please move to another topic if you wanna talk about this. This is supposed to be rpg only, I think.)

[HorseTechie]

Yes, this is RPG only.

[BlitzTurtle]

"I'm goanna need some one to carry that guy." Randi said, "I'm not strong enough an' I don't want to where out my powers."She then looked to Amaya, "To an old where house, a group of military mutants have a warrent out for me... dead or alive."

[Saisei]

Amaya nodded solemnly to Randi. "Tough situation to be in..." She stared at the fallen figure on the floor, wondering just how she managed to get herself into these messes.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane looked down the hole. "So this is it then." He sighed. "No turning back." Blane shuddered a little and looked towards Frost. "Do you ever get the feeling that someone or something is watching you?"

[Machias Banshee]

~Gee, i wonder where you ever got that idea?! :wink:~
*Splinter continued to watch, thinking to himself. He knew that past this point, it would be impossible to 'catch' them. So, with a calm determination, made the first move...*

Sp: You are very perceptive, child...

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Bejesus!" Blane nearly sprang up the wall. He clutched his chest, trying to control his breathing he turned to face the voice.

[azure turtle]

Frost jumped at the sudden sound of a new voice. He turned around and gasped at what stood before them. It was a giant rat. "Well, I have seen giant turtles, but a giant rat? This is odd," Frost thought. He got into a defensive position, pointing his spear at Splinter. "Blane," Frost called, trying to keep calm, "get ready to defend yourself. It looks like the Rat King had second thoughts about us traveling through his domain." Frost eyed the rat, wondering what would happen next.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane looked at Frost and shook his head. "I don't think I can." He squeaked.

((Oops no pun intended))

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter looked at both of them calmly, a little amused by the idea of him being sent by the rat king.*

Sp: You have no need to fear me. And i was NoT sent by the Rat King. Please, lower your weapons.

[HorseTechie]

"Carry him? Shee.. he's a tough kitty, why don't we just drag him along," Raph responded to Randi's suggestion.

Mike just smirked, looking back to Amaya in hopes she would get the joke on Casey. "We don't have to carry him, Raph... that's why we have Casey to help us!"

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi rolled her eyes the two and then glanced at Don, and then back at the others. "Lets go." She said and led them outside as she pulled her hood on. She led them through the streets and alley ways. If they were paying attention, they'd realize they were near the ports.

(It happened here, HT)

[azure turtle]

Frost stared at the giant rat with confusion. He sounded harmless, but Frost didn't trust him very much. "Very well. I shall lower my weapon, but you must stay at that distance." Frost lowered his spear but kept a firm grip on it. He glanced at Blane, who seemed too shocked to respond. He let out a small sigh. "Who are you? And what business do you have with us?" he asked the giant rat.

[coolmike1586]

*Casey looked to Mike with an evil eye*

Casey: uh.......how bout we jus get over this and lets get him outta here before we create to much commotion..*picks up fishro* if u all really have to have a "man" do it then lets go...

[HorseTechie]

"Ooo... he said you weren't 'man' enough, bro," Mikey laughed at Raph, then hurried out to the alley where Randi was waiting before Raph could thwack him.

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: HorseTechie on 2002-03-22 15:41 ]</font>

[Saisei]

Amaya tried not to snicker at Michaelangelo's initial comment, but she couldn't contain it at Casey's comeback. With a small laugh, she began to follow the others back out the door.

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter remained where he stood, keeping a steady eyecontact with the two young turtles.*

Sp: I merely want to talk to you...

((OOC: Im getting Rpg brainblocks! anyone got any ideas?

[azure turtle]

((OOC: Ack! Me too. :sad: ))

Frost continued to keep his eyes on the rat. "What is it that you wish to talk to us about? If you were sent by the Rat King, tell him that we paid his tax." Frost looked over at Blane, but he seemed to be speechless.

[SeaThreePeeO]

After the first few moments of shock and panic, Blane found his voice.

"If the Rat King did not send you, then who did?"

Blane still hung back behind Frost. God how he hated rats.

[Machias Banshee]

~Gee, thanks :roll: ~

*Splinter could see the nervousness of the two young turtles, but the blue one tried to hide it better.*

Sp: I come here by my own choice. As you can see i am unarmed. If you do not trust me, you can look for yourselves. I merely want to talk...

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane straightened up a bit, his street bravdo returning. He cocked his head to the side and gave the rat an indifferent glare.

"So talk already!"

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter arched an eyebrow at the turtle's attempt to look tough, and folded his arms.*

If you want to be so rude, perhaps you do not wish to know of your origins...

~help me! RPG block reigns again!~

[SeaThreePeeO]

The rats reply angered Blane and he was having a hard time hiding the fact.

He shifted his weight still nervous about being in the company of the one thing he feared.

His brain buzzed as he tried to think of something to say.

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter could read Blane's anger like an open book, and thought of something*

Your anger controls you i see. You are very similar to my son Raphael, who also happens to be a turtle...

*Splinter held back a smirk, waiting for a reaction...*

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane looked dumbfounded for a few moments before his temper returned.

"What do you know about me and my anger?"

He stepped forward a bit his anger over shadowing his fear.

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter could just imagine Raphael standing here...he knew what was going to happen.*

Sp: I know that anger clouds the mind, and can hinder one's performance as a warrior...

*He slowly slipped into a defensive position, and waited for the young one to lose his control on his anger.*

[SeaThreePeeO]

((Jeez am I that predictable?))

Blane began to breath deeply, he watched as the Rat got into a defensive stance. Was this person actually trying to gode him into a fight? This made Blane all the more determinted not to lose control.

[azure turtle]

Frost watched the scene between the rat and Blane unfold before him. Splinter's mention of their origins caught Frost's interest, but he decided to wait until Blane was finished venting. Then he would ask the rat. Frost completely lowered his weapon and observed the rat's defensive stance. "He certainly has some fighting experience," Frost thought.

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter saw the blue colored turtle lower his weapon, and relaxed a little. Knowing that at least one was not going to be a problem, he relaxed his defensive stance, but still kept an eye out on the other...*

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane noticed the change in Frost's body language. He backed off slightly, maybe learning about their origin could be of some use.

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi waited almost impatiently as everyone reached her position and then with out a word, led them towards the docks.

[HorseTechie]

(( Shyaa.. talk about the RPG blocks. At least you guys can go somewhere. :wink: ))

Raph And Mike follwed the others as Randi led them tot he docks.

"So like, why are we going to the docks, dudette?" Mike asked Randi.

[BlitzTurtle]

"IF you had been paying attetion," Randi said, "You would have known that I had spent a couple of nights in a whare house--which happens to belocated rigt there." She motioned to the old wharehouse. "But I dun' want us to go into there until some one an' I ensure that its safe."

[Kali]

Oni rubbed her temple. She was getting a headache again. She'd been distracted from her meditation, and hadn't been able to get back to it. The demon was still too weak to do anything harmful, but better safe than sorry. She hoped she'd be able to get some more rest before too long.

Leo looked over the outside of the warehouse. "I'll check it out with you." He wasn't about to send one of his brothers in, he was the leader after all, he'd take the risks.

[HorseTechie]

((I need more conflict than this... :wink: ))

Don then touched Leo on the arm to stop them. "Are you sure...? If there happen to be any hidden cameras or 'bugs' set there, I can disable them without setting them off."

[coolmike1586]

Casey: oh come on lets jus barge through, u guys are now for once so worried bout not being invisible?

[Saisei]

Amaya gave a frustrated sigh as the arguments arose, being sure to make herself loud and clear as she spoke. "Are we just gonna stand here, or what? Maybe we should just walk in, check the place out, and if anyone has a problem with it then we scout out somethin else!"

[HorseTechie]

"Yeah, that's why I'll go with Randi to go an check.. before the rest of us do," Don tried to get them back on the objective again.

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter relaxed his stance as he watched the two turtles. They obviously were not planning to take a course fo action against him. He walked over to a pipe near the Blue turtle and sat, motioning them to come forward.*
((OOC:I hope that sounds Splinter-y enough))

[Kali]

"Alright," Leo said. "Don goes with Randi to check the place out. We'll wait here until you two give the all clear."

[BlitzTurtle]

"Good." Randi said quickly and motioned for Don to follow her. "There weren't any detectors of sorts when I was there... but things change."

[HorseTechie]

Don nodded, and silently slid through the warehouse doors after Randi.

[azure turtle]

Frost eyed Splinter wearily. He glanced at Blane who was still poised to fight. Frost shrugged before approaching the giant rat. He still carried his spear with him, a little unsure about the rat's intentions. However, he had no plans of attacking unless the rat decided to attack first.

[SeaThreePeeO]

On seeing Frost appoach Splinter, Blane relaxed a little. He still kept his distance from the strange rat.

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter oculd see the nervousness of the two turtles, and shook his head slightly*

Sp: I assure you both that i pose no threat towards either of you. Please, sit here.

*He motioned to the floor before him, hsi brown eyes having a calming effect on the two individuals...*

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane moved forward slightly before stopping.

"I'll stand thank you." He said looking at the floor.

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter nodded8
Sp: If you wish.
*Splinter looked at the blue turtle. Similar to Leonardo, but with a softness that of Michaelangelo. The other one reminded him of Raphael, fiery-tempered, the thrill of the fight strong in his behaviors...How to start the story was now his next question he asked himself*

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane carefully watched the rat, trying to decide what he was after. He cleared his throat.

"You said you knew of our origins."

[Machias Banshee]

Sp: Yes. But do YOU know of your origins? The people who 'raised' you, did THEY ever tell you where you came from?

[SeaThreePeeO]

"My mother never really said much to me about my past or where she found me."

Blane hung his head.

"But what has that got to do with anything?" Blane looked up his frustration returning.

[Machias Banshee]

Sp: Knowing you origins can be very important...Blane, is it? It makes you who you are, what you are like, many things...

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane looked surprised.

"How do you know my name? What do you want from us?"

[Machias Banshee]

Sp: I want nothing. I merely want to talk to both of you. Introduce you to some
'friends' you might know...that is all.

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Friends? What friends?" Blane was starting to get suspicious, no one gave something for nothing in New York city.

[Machias Banshee]

Sp: they are actually my students and sons.
*Splinter rose from the pipe he was sitting on adn started to turn back towards the lair.*
Sp: If you wish to know, you may come and meet them. If not, that is your own choice.

[Kali]

~Remember that your students are not in the lair, sensei.~

[Machias Banshee]

~I know, but i can still talk to the two turtles. Hmm...maybe i should have Splinter and them meet up with you guys somewhere, considering you guys havent been there for a while.~

[azure turtle]

Frost eyed the rat suspiciously. He had a very bad feeling that he somehow knew these students Splinter spoke of. He decided to follow anyway. "I must keep my wits about me," Frost thought to himself. He trailed behind the rat, walking beside Blane. Frost spoke up. "My parents did not know of my origin. They merely found me. I desire to know how I became this way..."

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi moved slowly as she and Don entered the back way of the ware house, "Be 'En Guard, Monsiuor." She ordered.

[HorseTechie]

Don walked along the wall and neared some scaffling that lead up to some catwalks going over the obsolete machinery. He looked back, to see Randi talk a different route. Then he heard a noise come from the other end of the open area.

[coolmike1586]

~Casey leaned against the wall waiting for the 2 to give the go, starts to fall asleep and falls over into the trash can next to them~

Casey: opps

[Kali]

Oni jumped a little at the sound of Casey falling into the garbage can. She leaned towards Leo. "Maybe he'll get stuck," she whispered.

Leo sighed. "We aren't that lucky." He went back to keeping an eye on the warehouse. He was worried about Don and Randi going in there alone, but understood the need to be cautious.

[SeaThreePeeO]

"So do I!" Blane turned to Frost. "But are you sure this is the right way? We know nothing of this person or what his plans may be!"

Blane jogged a little to catch up with Frost.

"I don't like this one bit, it dosen't feel right."

[azure turtle]

"I know what you mean," Frost whispered to Blane, "but what if he speaks the truth? We'll never know unless we follow him. Besides, there are two of us and one of him. We should be all right..." He continued to follow the rat through the sewers.

((OOC: Too bad Machias won't be around to continue this for a while. Well, Nun, I guess we can use this time to think of things our characters can do once she returns :smile: ))

The look on Randi's face showed that she was not only surprised, but some how expected this. As foot steps came their way, the two quickly hid.
Randi had to keep herself from hissing in rage, as the two officers of he mutant milita passed by. This was not good.... not good at all.

[coolmike1586]

*Casey thought now that all of them were lookin away would be his turn to get away and go help the others in case they needed it*

Casey: aight, time for me to go help them

*quietly snuck away without causing any disturbance, and ran around the back to see if there was another entrance, noticed a window in the back open and climbed through*

Casey: oh yea, now i will see sum action

[BlitzTurtle]

"The only action YOU'LL be see'n." A voice next to Casey said, "Is a gun to the face if you don't put your hands up!" The uniformed ferret appeared to be very serious, "I suggest you do it now... human!"

[coolmike1586]

*Casey turns quickly with his hands down*

Casey: u have to be kiddin....

[BlitzTurtle]

The earth shook a bit around Casey as the ferret growled, "I'm NOT Kidding!" Then, into his mouth piece he said, "India, East, Halo, Over."
The reply came back quickly: "Charlie! Over!"
The ferret grinned at Casey, "Put your hands up and cooperate or I'll be forced to hurt you."

[HorseTechie]

(( argh.. think.. think.. think.. ))

Don froze and moved out of sight behind the factory machinery when he heard some voices. It sounds like someone was caught.. but who? Randi was somewhere behind him, while this was up aways.

All senses alert, he silently moved in to where he heard the angry voice.

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi snatched Don by the back of his bandana and pulled him back, ~What do you think you're doing?~ She hissed.

[HorseTechie]

Don's senses reeled at first from Randi suddenly pulling back on his bandan tails, but he didn't put up a fight.

"I was--" he faced her. ~I heard someone in trouble over there and I was going to check it out,~ Don explained his motives to her. ~Or is it actually a trap...?~

[BlitzTurtle]

~I don't know what it is! This group consists of people dumb as bricks to those whom might even smarter than you.~ She let out a soundless sigh, ~even with Ninja skills there is a chance you might get caught... here...~
A group of soldiers hurried by to assist the ferret, she waited and grabbed one of the lower rank ones who had been straggling behind and instantly turned off his com system. The soldier struggled for a moment, but that was soon stopped as Randi used a wrench that had been left behind to knock him out. She pulled of the belt and shoes ad handed them to Don. ~Put these on... and take this gun and Com system... At least then you'll look like a common soldier from far away.~
