TMNT RPG - Chapter 4

[Kali]

Synopsis of chapter three: After Splinter's premonition, Leo, Raph, Don, and Oni go out to try and find the threat first. They run into Randi, who's being chased by a group of mutants. They also have a run in with the Rat King. The voice in Oni's mind finally made itself known by taking over Oni's body, attacking the others. With Randi's help, she trapped it. They all head back to the lair for some much-needed rest.

***

Leo stepped into the lair. "Master Splinter? Mike?"

Oni asked Raph to help her over to the couch so she could sit down.

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi followed in after them and sighed deeply as Leonardo called for Master Splinter and Mike, whomever they were, and stayed close to the farthest wall. Her mind raced with calculations of how possible it was to meet mutants out side of the islands. The possiblity of there being one Mutant was 1 to 6. Billion. The possiblilty of there being two was... Randi couldn't even think of what the number would be called... and for those two mutants to meet... It was mind boggling! And here, in New York, where one person was like a needle in a huge hay stack, she had bumped into four. And if she was right, Mike and Master Splinter were Mutants too...

[Kali]

Splinter walked out from his room. "I am glad you are home, I was worried. You need to tell me what happened." He looked to Oni and Raphael, both of whom looked a little worse for wear. He then looked towards Randi. "And I see we have another guest."

[HorseTechie]

"Yeah, but... other than the possession Oni had, nothing happened really," Raph explained to Splinter as he led Oni over the couch for her to sit down.

[Kali]

Splinter twitched his nose. "Possession? I assume you defeated the monster."

Oni sighed. "Kind of, with Randi's help. It... It's still in here," she tapped her temple, "but trapped. I can destroy it, but it would take time."

Splinter nodded. He was aware of the process, although he had never witnessed it because it had to be done alone, over the course of several days.

Oni spoke again before he could say anything. "I'm truly sorry for all the trouble this caused. It said that it would take me to find others like me. I wanted to believe it so badly, I guess I didn't think. I had no idea it wanted to destroy you until it was too late."

"If that was its true goal, it would have found a way eventually." Splinter said.

Leo patted her shoulder. "It's all right, really, no one blames you. But do you know why it wants to destroy us?"

Oni shook her head.

[HorseTechie]

Raph crossed his arms, "Well, it's gonna die trying." He was still feeling big of himself for not letting this demon controlling Oni's body have the upper hand. But it took Raph longer to realize what he said.

"I mean, *it* is... not you, Oni," he looked at her with apologetic look in his eyes.

[Kali]

Oni smiled at Raph. "I know what you mean, Raphael."

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi stayed where she was near the wall and nodded to Master Splinter respectfully. She had no idea what to do in such a situation like this, her mind still raced with possibilites of action that Colonel Marx and his small troup would take.

[Kali]

Leonardo looked around. "Where's Mike?"

"I have not seen him since you left," Splinter said. "But I have been meditating."

[HorseTechie]

Raph itched once at the scratch on his face, then sat down with a plop on the couch next to Oni.

He decided to leave it to Leo to keep Splinter company, and lookied over to Randi. "We don't bite, come on over and make yourself at home."

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi merely sighe in response before moving to the lay-z-boy next to the couch and closing her eyes half way.

"Any clues?" Colonel Marx snarled to one of his subordinates.
The mutant soldier shook his head and replied, "Sir, we lost track of her; but, if I may speak freely?"
The mutant Rat frowned at the other mutant with fierce eyes. "Go on."
"Sir, as being one that had trained under her," He replied, "I believe that she may still be in the sewers. Hiding and waiting us out."
Marx smirked. "Hide, she can do... wait us out, she won't. CONTINUE SEARCHING!"

[Kali]

Leonardo stood off to the side with Splinter. "So what are we going to do?"

"About the demon?" Splinter shook his head. "Nothing. It is up to Oni how she is going to deal with it."

"Randi also mentioned a group of mutants were after her. I told Don to check the security systems. You were right, sensei, we should have stayed here."

Splinter touched his son's arm. "If you had, the demon still would have taken over Oni's body. And you would not have met Randi. Everything happens for a reason, Leonardo, remember that."

Leo lowered his head slightly. "I'm going to try and find Mike." He went off to Mike's room, hoping to find his brother there.

[HorseTechie]

(( So is Mike gonna RP here ... or his he not interested anymore? ))

[Kali]

((I have no clue. This is a lot easier when players give advanced notice that they won't be here for long periods. Mikey, if you read this, do you still want to play?))

[HorseTechie]

(( looks around -- yah know, I don't think he is now... ))

[Kali]

OOC: Okay, we need a new Mike. Anyone up for it? Under the circumstances, I can't give him away permanently, just until Michaelangelo comes back, but you'd play him until we got word. I'd play him myself, but I don't trust myself with it. I tried to write a part but it turned quite, uh, slashy.

[BlitzTurtle]

(*Thinks for a moment* Mike acts like a male version of K.Lynn on a sugar high... he loves to cook (From some stories I've seen) acts happy but thats only his exterrior... I guess I could try to play him for a while. Hell I play him in other RPs)

[Kali]

(OOC: Cool with me.)

Leo knocked on Mike's bedroom door. "Hey, Mikey, you in there?"

[BlitzTurtle]

"Mrr?" Mike replied from inside his room, "Yeah..." he murmured and stood up from where he had been sitting and opened the door. "You guys back already?"

Randi continued to sit where she was with her eyes half closed. Part of her was thankfull that Leonardo had asked her to come, but another part of her was even more nervous than before.

[HorseTechie]

(( Mikey's soooo fun to RP, esp when on a sugar high! ))

"Have one," Raph came up behind Randi and set a cold can of cook of her shoulder. (he's holding the rest of the six-pack in his other hand)

[BlitzTurtle]

(I'll assume you meant Coke :razz:)

"Gah!" Randi's eyes shot open as jumped slightly from the sudden cold feeling on her shoulder; she swallowed as she forced her breathing back to normal, "Thank you... next time, please... warn me before you do that..."

[Kali]

"No, we're still out," Leo smirked. "Always the observant one, aren't you, Mike? Want to come meet our new guest?"

[Kali]

Oni smiled a little at Randi's reaction, even though she knew she would have reacted the same way. It was obvious that Randi had a lot on her mind, and so did Oni. There was no easy way for her to get rid of the demon trapped in her mind, and she couldn't just ignore it, and risk it getting loose again. A simple exorcism might drive it into one of the others. No, there was only one way, and she needed to talk to Splinter about it.
"Excuse me," she said as she got up and walked over to where Splinter was sitting. "I need to speak with you."
Splinter nodded once and followed her into her room.

[BlitzTurtle]

Mike smirked, a new guest! Some one new to meet! "Sure!" he replied, "Who're they?" He asked as he moved into the living room just in time to see Randi yelp in surprise as Raph put the coke on her shoulder.
His eyes widened and a mischievious smile grew onto his face; where one female was good, two were better. "Whats her name?" He whispered to Leo.

[Kali]

"Randi," Leo whispered back. "Be careful, she doesn't seem all that friendly."

[HorseTechie]

A sly smile crept across Raph's face. Looks like they don't teach the military much in the way of ninja awareness. Or she was bothered by something. "Wull, if you had been alert, you would have known I was behind ya."

Raph pulled another COKE can from the rest and set the rest on the table to drink his.

[Kali]

Leo glared at Raph. "That wasn't nice Raph," he said, getting himself a soda. "Randi, this is our brother, Michaelangelo."

In Oni's room, she and Splinter sat to discuss how she was going to proceed.
"I'm not sure I can do this," she said.
"You must." Splinter patted her hand. "And we will help in any way we can."
Oni took a deep breath. "It's going to take a few days to acomplish, can you explain to them?"
"Of course." Splinter stood and quietly left the room as Oni slipped back into her mind.

[HorseTechie]

Raph just shot Leo a Look before taking a long drink from his Coke and belching loudly.

[BlitzTurtle]

"Not all that friendly?" Mike replied back to his brotherjust before Leo introduced him.

Randi's teeth clenched at Raphael'scomment about being alert but said nothing in response. Randi glanced back at Leonardo and Michaelangelo for a moment to acknowledge them before saying, "'allo."
"Hi!" He smiled at her happily only recieve a stern frown in return she then glanced at Raphael with the same expression and quickly assumed that she found what Raphael did to be annoying.
"Exscuse my brother, he has absolutely no manners."
"He's better than some males I know." Randi replied and finally opened the Coke, "None of them would have even thought of offering me a coke."

[HorseTechie]

Raph raised an eyeridge in response to Mike's remark about his manners. "And I suppose you're any better?"

[Kali]

Leonardo did the only thing he could in this situation, and that was to ignore his brothers. He took a sip of Coke and looked around. "Hey, where'd Splinter go? And Oni?"

Splinter walked back into the room. "I am right here, Leonardo. As for Oni, that is something I must discuss with you all."

[BlitzTurtle]

Michaelanglo smirked at Raph, deciding he'd get a comment on Raph later. When Splinter came out at the mention of Oni, he said, "Is she goanna be okay?"
Randi kept quiet, she could easily guess what the problem was.

A pair of soldiers walked slowly through the tunnels near by. "Of all the places for Tezlof to hide..." One of them whispered, "Why a sewer?"
"I dunno." The second replied, "Why does that insane turtle do anything?"
"Stratagy?" The first dumbly asked.
The second frowned at him, and decided not to get into an arguement on how dumb his partener really was. "Uh-yeah."

[Kali]

"I hope so, Michaelangelo," Splinter replied. "I do not know if you were informed, but Oni has been possessed by a powerful demon. And although it is trapped, it is still a danger. She must undergo a ritual to banish the demon, so it will not hurt anyone again. It will take several days."

[HorseTechie]

Wee Little Roachie was hungry, so Roachie creeps from under the couch to investigate on any new crumbs these big greeen fellows might have dropped.

He waved his annenae about, sensing the air. It was sweet, and kinda like that bubbly syrup in the metal cans.

Roachie was a little thirsty too... and scurried about the floor in search of any spilt drops.

(( so I'm BORED! :razz: ))

[BlitzTurtle]

Mike's fae showed an amount of worry about this, but from what he could gather, Oni would be fine. "Oh, well... okay."
((HT, you are mean and Cruel))
As Randi took a sip of her drink, she happened to look down and see a huge roach coming her way. She covered her mouth as she coughed and pulled her legs up onto the seat. She told herself that she was not going to scream... as long as it didn't touch her, she'd be fine.... right?

[Kali]

Leo noticed Randi's odd reaction. "Are you okay?" he asked.

[HorseTechie]

(( but... what else am I supposed to do until you guys can post? :eyemouth:))


Raph suddenly sat up, looking around as if Randi was reacting to those problems she was taking about.

Lil Wee Roachie suddenly stops to sense his surroundings. Those hovering green towers are moving to fast for his liking again. He suddenly turned to the right and stops again, waving his long straight antennae.

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi sat in the Lay-Z-Boy, sitting slightly cross legged, "No." she said calmly, "I'm perfectly fine."
"I agree." Mike said, only to recieve an angry look from the female turtle. "What? I'm agreeing with you."
"Were you dropped before you were hatched?"
Mike blinked at her, Leo was right, she wasn't really nice at all. He smiled, maybe he could get around that. "Wouldn't know, can't remember that far."
Randi rolled her eyes, trying not to look at the roach on the floor. "Never mind."
Mike sat on the couch seat closest to Randi, "So, where ya from?"
"No man's land." Randi replied, this was what she said to all that asked where she was from because it was more or less true, and she wasn't giving away any real information.
Mike blinked for a moment, unsure of what she meant, "Ooh, you mean you come from some place full of women???"
"Uh... Yeah." Randi said, watching the roach from the corner of her eye.
"Then how do you have kids?" He asked jokingly.
"... shouldn't you be asking some one else about the birds and the bees?"

[Kali]

Leo listened carefully to Mike and Randi's conversation. He wanted to ask her his own questions, but he had a feeling that he wouldn't get very far. True, Oni had been a bit closed as well, but Randi seemed downright hostile towards them. He started going over everything he'd learned about her in the short time they'd known her, trying to fit things together.

[HorseTechie]

"Damn.. I thought I was the only one with the attitude," Raph remarked.

[BlitzTurtle]

(Dun worry, Randi will open up... sooner or later. She's one of those who keeps most away emotionanlly for fear of being harmed...)

"I'll pretend that's a compliment." Randi replied quickly to Raph.
"Coming from," Mike joked, "that is a compliment."
Randi merely took another sip of her coke in response.

[Kali]

Leonardo set his soda can down on the table. "Randi, I think it's about time you told us more about these mutants who are chasing you. It would help to know what we're dealing with in case we run into them."

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi frowned for a moment, she would have liked it better if they would stay out of it, but she doubted that this Leonardo would like that.
"I'll tell you what you need to know: They work in a military style. There are between 15 to 20 mutant soldiers working under a single comander, a Rat named Colonel Marx." She explained, still watching the roach from the corner of her eye, "Each shoulder carries at least one baretta 9 mm gun and have their own Psyonic Ability." She clicked her tounge as she thought of what to add. "These abilities can range from the manipulation of energy to controlling an element of some kind like fire, water, or even electricity to Psychic powers like my own--but as far as I know, none of the soldiers stationed here have psychic abilites."
"Wait... first some demon possesses Oni, then, this new chic--..."
"If you want to live another year I suggest you don't call me 'chic'."
"... sorry... and now Randi here is being chased by mutants who can... manipulate enery, control elemental forces and read minds?"
"Thats basically it, yeah."
"Why are they after you?"
Randi smirked, still watching the roach with the corner of her eye. "They think I'm an insane, Criminal mastermind."

[Kali]

Leo sighed. This was going to be a lot harder than he thought. The guns were bad enough, and they could probably deal with them, but if these soldiers had psyonic abilities...
"Damn," he muttered under his breath. At least they had the early warning system to alert them to any intruders. Besides, they'd dealt with a lot over the years, and they'd deal with this too.

[BlitzTurtle]

At least Leonardo hadn't note the reason why the soldiers and Colonel Marx were after after her. "I've lost them before." Randi said, "It was only because I wasn't paying attention that they found me again..." She glanced over to Raphael. "And no, I'm not from DC like you first said, its the other way around, I'm heading to D.C."

[HorseTechie]

Nodding Randi's occasional looks to the floor while she spoke, Raph pulled a sai and slung it in that direction.

"So... you go AWOL on them then?" he asked, while picking up his sai with the roach stuck on the longest point, it's legs twitching spasmically.

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi jumped slightly as he slung the sai only to close her eyes and shudder as he took it back again. "More or less..."
"More or less?" Mike said, "How can you go 'More or less' AWOL?"
"'Treason', 'Assult', 'breaking an entering'... 'Steeling confidential informaion'." Randi replied, looking at Mike, "Take your pick..."
Mike shook his head, Randi' reply didn't really make sense to him. Why list a bunch of crimes when he had asked... Wait, he got it, these were the reasons why she left and why she said this group of mutant soldiers thought of her as a 'insane, criminal mastermind'! This only made him not like the situation even less.

[HorseTechie]

you mean ignore both your post and the quote on that on Randi's reply to AWOL...? (You can delete em too, if you want)

[Kali]

Leonardo crossed his arms. "I'm going to assume you had good reasons and intentions behind those crimes. So what were they?"
Great, just great, they'd taken in a wanted criminal. The fact she carried guns made him suspicious of her; he never trusted guns, or the people who carried them. And her attitude was quickly getting to him, but he told himself that he was doing the right thing and hoped it wouldn't blow up in their faces.

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi smiled at Leo, amused that he suggested that she had a good reason for what he did. "I used to work under Colonel Marx." She answered. "After a while... I started getting clues... Colonel Marx would start talking to officers that on normal occasions, he would have nothing to do with. I didn't like the clues I was getting, the pointed to something... catastrophic. So I..." She frowned, "Broke into his office and looked through his files... I found... information that was even worse than I expected. Colonel Marx walked in on me and I erased his memory of my being there; however, it was only temporary and only gave me enough time to... escape... When Colonel Marx did regain his memory, he blew everything out of perportions to hide anything that I found..."

[Kali]

"And what exactly did you find out?" Leo asked.

[BlitzTurtle]

"That if Colonel Marx has his way... nearly half the population of the United States will be like us... mutnats."
"Wait..." Mike shook his head, completely confused, "How is the dude going to accomplish this?"
"How much do ya'll know about World War Two and Victory in Japan?" Randi replied.
"That... we won?" Mike shrugged, "why?"
"We bombed Japan with two particular bombs--the uranium and plutonium atom bombs--Fat Man and Little Boy."
"...So?" Mike asked, still not getting what she said.
"The split uranium and Plutonium atoms to get those bombs... to mutate me, and other mutants they use a prossess called Muta-Fusion: Its basically the destruction of human dna and fusing what remains with particular animal genetis..." She sighed, "The same people who discovered the Muta-Fusion process have found a way to... create a bomb that, when detinated, will act as a massive mutation for whom ever is with in radious of its sonic wave."

[Kali]

"This is most serious," Splinter said. "How do you intend to stop this Colonel Marx?"

Leonardo just stood there in shock. That wasn't possible, was it? Half the US, millions of people, mutated.

[BlitzTurtle]

"I didn't plan to stop him directly, sir." Randi replied to Splinter. "I planned to be more or less an informant... a messanger... I plan to tell those who can put the whole thing to a stop for good. you see, sir, even if I were able to stop Colonel Marx and the soldiers he has brought along, there are others who could take his place in leading this under ground rebellion..." She sighed and shook her head. "This is what happens... a conspircay with in a conspiracy... WITH IN a conspiracy... **** hits the fan and every one is hit."

Mike stared at Randi as if she was some alien who had just stepped off some huge space ship armed with guns and other weapons aimed at every one only to say, 'we come in peace.'
"A bomb? That mutates? Conspiracy with in a conspircay?" He broke out of his trance and shook his head, "Are you sure about this? I mean, c'mon! Is it even possible? and this conspiracy with in a conspiracy stuff, how can you have so many conspircies in conspiracies?"

"Would you like me to explain the conspiracies?" Randi asked with forced calmness, "Why not? 've told you everything else."

"Go ahead... this I want to hear."

"The first conspiracy I've already mentioned. Colonel Marx and his followers and thier plan... they are all members of another Conspiracy which I am a member of as well: The Mutant Militia. The Mutant Militia was created by a covort group called the Amos Project who also helped fund different businesses--most of which now have folded or who's owners have... just dissapeared."

"Like what businesses?" Mike asked.

"If I had known this was an interrigation..." She trailed off, "I only know a few business names... I don't know what the businesses did."

"Then names then." Mike quickly replied, maybe if they knew everything about these 'conspiracies' there could be a way to defeat this Marx guy.

"The Rhine," Randi replied with a slight growl but quickly calmed down, "A.R.I. --don't aske me what it means, I don't know-- T.C.R.I, Grendel Industries, The F.9... thats all I can think of off hand."

(Note, I said that the Amos Project helped FUND these companies.)

[HorseTechie]

(( Raph is suffering from deja-vu... will return in a moment. :razz: ))

[BlitzTurtle]

((Oh shut up))

[HorseTechie]

Raph flicked the cockroach into a trashcan then sat back down. It was funny how Mike had a way with making women talk, he mused.

"Waitaminute... T.C.R.I.?" the the acronym sounded all too familar to him. "The cops busted that joint years ago, when a strange beam -- one that sent US into deep space for a short honeymoon with some savage Tricerton beasties -- blasted from the roof. All I care to say, that company wasn't your typical goverment organization..."

"Trecerton..." Randi squited her eyes, obviously thinking about this, "Like I said, I knew nothing about any of these companies, they're just names on pieces of paper to me... no offence. See, like I said, all I know is that the Amos Project helped fund this TCRI and started the Mutant Militia."
"Who started the Amos project?" Mike asked as he sat down.
Randi took a long drink of her coke before replying, "A group of people in the U.S. Military system... No one's sure of their true identies..."

[Kali]

"Then maybe we can find out," Leo said. "Do you know how much time we have before these people try to set off the bomb?" he asked Randi.

((Everybody welcome back Machias, the true Splinter! *returns control of Splinter back to Machias*))

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi gave Leo a distressed look, "Thats what I wasn't able to find out. I don't know when, but when I left they already had four bombs made. One for the four largest cities in America: L.A., Houston, Chicago and New York."

[Kali]

"You said you were heading to D.C.," Leo said. "We'll help you in any way we can."

[HorseTechie]

(( Lessee... attention DOnatello! Leo101? You still out there?

If the dude doesn't reply... Donnie's offically mine! :evilgrin: ))

[BlitzTurtle]

((I agree with HT, if the guy doesn't reply, Donnie is hers.))

"Ditto." Mike nodded, "There is no way we can let this happen."
Randi gave them all a frown that as far as Mike could tell was not of annoyance, or of anger; it looked like the type of frown one gave when saying 'Thanks, but...'
"I can't risk any one else's life in this..." Randi mumured.
"You won't be." Mike said quickly, "We'll be risking our own."
Randi closed her eyes, obviously deep in thought.

[Kali]

((I was just about to suggest that. He has until tomorrow. Hear that Leo101? Tomorrow. You were told you'd have to be here often.))

[HorseTechie]

Raph shrugged. Now this sounded like a good piece of action he wouldn't mind risking his life for. "It's what we do, after all... there's no job or family or kids to live for. Unless Oni is not feeling up to it..."


<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: HorseTechie on 2002-01-24 13:22 ]</font>

[Kali]

Leonardo shook his head. "Maybe," he replied to Raphael. "Though I think it's better to let her finish whatever it is she's doing than risk the demon gaining control again."

[BlitzTurtle]

Thousands of new stratagies entered Randi's mind as she stared into the abyss; how would four more, maybe five, if they waited, help in this problem? They all were obviously good in fighting as Raphael showed, and in stealth... It would be great for breaking into where she wanted to go; but she doubted that they'd agree to her plan, much less comprehend why she was truly going to D.C.

Michaelangelo noted the distant look in her eyes and quickly concluded that she was a deep thinker like Leo and Don.
"If, you help," Randi finally said. "You must understand that... that I've been working on this plan for quite a while and... it may sound preposterous, but its truly the only chance."

[Kali]

"If it's the only way," Leonardo nodded. "Believe me, we've come up with some... odd stratagies of our own."

[Machias Banshee]

(OOC: Jeezum ,this sounds like something from the X-files!)

Master Splinter had been on the sidelines listening intently to the situation that lay before them.

SP: No idea is foolish, merely different. Please tell us of your plan so that we may assist you in any way possible.

[BlitzTurtle]

"There is truly one group that could actually stop this, but since they have died from old age... we have to settle for secong best..." Randi looked them over, "I hope none of you are democrats."
"Why's that have anything to do with it." Mike asked curiously.
"Have you not een listening?"
"Yeah I have." Mike replied, "Government conspiracies, a bomb..."
"I also said I was headed for D.C... to the White House."
"The White House?" Mike eyes widened, "To where the President lives?"
"To where the Comander and Chief of the United States Military resides, yes."

[HorseTechie]

(( it's been a full 24 hours... Donnie is offically mine! ))

Don had been quietly listening to Randi's confession, prompted along by Mike's curiousity. The thought of a nationwide attack to turn humans into mutants put him in a state of shock. It wasn't as simple as this Marx may think. It's not going to be BOOM and then the country is now a mutant one.

It doesn't matter *what* had been seeded int he bombs... he knew that nuclear bombs were *nuclear* bombs. If the people didn't first just die from the radiation effects, maybe they'll be lucky to live on as a mutant. But there'll be so many people dying under the direct blast of the bombs in the major cities... this danger choked him up from participating in the conversation.

Blame it on his research of Einstein, and the scientific discoveries this great scientists had found... the things he read about splitting the atom, relative theories, light and sound. A 'MetaFusion Bomb' didn't make sense... had this Col. Marx gone insane. He's just gonna kill the whole country for the glory of mutants... like Hitler.

"Do you know when the attack will happen? If anything else, I can help you get into the systems Marx might use... find a way to make it harder for him to 'push the button'... make it harder for him to communicate to his troops--" Don stopped himself, realizing he was interrupting Randi's before she fully explained what she had in mind. "Sorry..." Don got back up, to walk to the other side of the room while wringing his hands.

"It is extremely hard for even an expert hacker to hack into their system." Randi muttered, "And even if you could hack into the system, you'd not only 'slow' communications for Marx, but you may... jepordize everything for the very whole of the Benning Islands."
"The Begining Islands?" Mike asked almost stupidly,
"The Benning Islands. Its a community--a city--of mutants."

[Kali]

"Mutants," Leo repeated. "No Man's Land," he realized.

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi let out a heavy sigh and finished the rest of her coke. "I put everything to thought. I couldn't do anything on the islands because one: I was already wanted for certain things and two: I do not want to be the one risking the lives of those citizens... or risking any part of thier lives."
"So you'd rather risk your own life trying to go to DC?" Mike asked.
"I don't like having other people's lives in my hands..."

[HorseTechie]

Raph narrowed his eyes at Randi, not sounding to happy about her advice for Don to not hack into Marx's system. "Oh, okay... so preserving an island full of government controlled mutants is more important than saving the United States? Makes perfect sense..." he grumbled.

Don just gave Raph the Look, since he obviously missed the point again. "No... she doesn't wish to make any sacrifices... other than herself," he turned away from Raph. "I see what you're saying... use peaceful measures to stop this attack... instead of an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth tactics."

(( okay, no remarks about there being 'no peace' Randi! ;P ))

[BlitzTurtle]

"Actually, the way I see it, this is a job for the... other military forces of America." Randi replied calmly to Donatello, "I see myself as a... messenger..."
"Oh, you're just going to tell the President and let him and the army handle it?"
"Basically, yes." Randi as she fiddled with her empty coke can before releasing it and watching it foat to the trashcan. "Let them decide the TATICS... I've been doing it long enough..."

[Kali]

Leonardo watched the soda can float over to the trash. It reminded him exactly what they were up against. "So that's it, just tell them what's going to happen and let them deal with it?"

He didn't like it. He admired Randi for wanting to risk her own life for others, but how could she just leave an entire country to their fate? It was like telling someone they had a fatal disease and you had the cure, but they were going to have to figure it out on their own.

[HorseTechie]

Raph laughed once, synically. "Yeah... and I'll bet they'll just nuke the mutant island instead to stop Marx. Always seems to come to that..."

Don just bit his lip in thought, looking from Randi to Leo. "We still gotta do something..." he muttered.

[BlitzTurtle]

"Basically, I believe that the main Militaries will be able to infiltrate the Islands and find those that are part of the... Mutiny, exscuse the pun." She said, "They may even be able to retrieve the information involiving the time and locations of the bombings..." She sighed, "Besides, I'm sure that Colonel Lepummel and General Matterhorne will be glad in helping the Main Military's of ridding the island of any rebels."

"I highly doubt they'd actually nuke the island." Randi then replied, "Too much scientific research is done there; plus, if they 'nuke' it, they'll be bombing their own property..."

[Dr. Terminus]

i wilol be gone for a while no one fill in for me!


Don walks out of lair*

(( Sorry Leo101, since you ARE gone for so long, it's important that SOMEONE substitutes for Donatello while you ARE GONE to keep the story going. ))

Don looked to Randi, "But what if the regular military runs into the same snags you warned me of? Or Marx still manages to weasel out and get ahead. Wouldn't it be wise to still be on alert to act as a back-up -- or a power boost -- to make sure they come through," he pressed.

Raph shook his head, "I agree."

"Besides, I don't think the fact the island being government property will stop them. If the human military attempts to stop Marx fails, I can easily see how they would then use a higher power, like going to Napalm if the A bombs are too much. It's their property, so it would be a hazard to civilian land if this island turns to a lost. It was also government property, that section in the middle of the Nevada desert, they used to test atomic bombs too... I just think they need more help... or something..." Don ended with a whisper.

[BlitzTurtle]

"I appologize for bein pesimist (sp) but I doubt that... 6... 5... mutants, only one of which possessing psyonic abilities will be able to help."

[Kali]

Leo shook his head. "I don't know about you, but we aren't about to just sit around while other people fight. Even if the humans don't accept us, this is still our home, and we need to help protect it."

[BlitzTurtle]

"Home..." Randi muttered under her breath, "At least you have one..." She then thought for a moment before saying aloud, "Fine... but... there might be something we need to do before we try to go D.C."
"Wazzat?" Mike asked.
"Kill Marx..."
"Thought ya said he had a troop with him."
"He does, Mr. Michealangelo." Randi replied, "But I doubt that they know what's really happening and why I'm really being hunted..."

[HorseTechie]

Don sighed and looked at Randi. She really wasn't making much sense.

"Now I can handle that plan. Kill Marx... my treat!" Raph went along with that suggestion, dispite sounding slightly sarcastic.

[Kali]

Leo rubbed his temples. This whole thing was giving him a headache. "Didn't you say earlier that killing Marx wouldn't help? What good would it do besides stopping him from stopping us, and giving these people yet another reason to come after you?"

[BlitzTurtle]

"True, it won't stop the... bombing..." Her eyes flashed, "But... now, I don't care about it giving them another reason." She stood up, "As one officer once told mem 'I'f you're already in the ****, a bit more won't change anything'. Over all Marx will try to stop me, and whom ever helps me with death... why not give him the same conditions? And YES I know that I'm changing my words from what I FIRST said. Its called changing your mind."

[HorseTechie]

"So what you've been planning is not set in stone yet then...?" Don ernestly asked Randi.

[BlitzTurtle]

"YES! ...NO! I DON'T KNOW!" Randi turned from the turtles and place her hand on her forhead. She needed a rest... being mentally, physically, and psychically tired was not something that Randi liked; but sleeping she didn't like either, and for good reason.

[Kali]

"Okay, okay, just cool it," Leo said. "Maybe you... we should all just sleep on this. Oni's in the extra room, but you can go ahead and stay in my room if you want, I can sleep out on the couch."

[BlitzTurtle]

"If its all the same to you, I'd rather the couch..." Randi muttered in replied; it was one of her quirks, she only liked sleeping in a bed if it was her own or if she was sharing it with a friend or... well Randi had never had a significant other...
"Are you sure?" Mike almost pouted, "I mean... You're a guest."
"And my preference is the couch."

[HorseTechie]

"Uhm... well okay," Don accepted the fact Randi wanted to sleep n the couch. He decided also to not mention it's lumpy condition, or the numerous things Mike and Raph spilled on it. "I'll get some blankets,"

Raph shrugged his indifference and went back to were Oni was meditating. He knelt, watching her, then spoke softly. "Hey... Oni...?"

[Kali]

Oni didn't even open her eyes as she whispered, "Yes, Raphael?"

Getting rid of the demon was turning out to be easier than she expected, but not so much so that she let her concentration drop any. If she continued like this, she would probably be rid of the demon completely by morning.

[HorseTechie]

"I guess you're gonna do that all night then... " Raph second guessed Oni's actions. "But if you ever get tired, or need help, er something.. lemme know. Can have my bed... to sleep in," he explained.

[Kali]

"I'll let you know, Raphael. I'm fine for now." She didn't want to sound rude, and she appreciated his concern, but at the moment her focus was elsewhere. She'd tuned out the conversation the others had been having, but she still sensed that they were very worried about something.

[BlitzTurtle]

"...Thanks..." Randi muttered to Donatello.

Mike scratched the back of his head, "Need anything to eat? We've got Pizza."

"Pizza doesn't settle well on an empty stomache." Randi replied.

"Oh... Well, we have other things..." Mike shrugged.

"Cereal would be nice... if you have it."

[Peanut]

*His eyes opened slowly. I looked around then stared at the hard concrete ground. He'd been around here for awhile, ever since his last battle. He'd been done in by the dumbest of the group. He stood up and wandered into the shadows of the alley.*

"You...I need...Someone"

*He turned around looking into a small branch off from the alley. He could see something back there...a person maybe? He was feeling hungry. He walked back and began to tremble. He dropped to his knees and his blood turned colder than it ever was.*

"Please...don't be a hurtin' me!"

*His head dropped as he stared at it...what ever it was...the eyes glowed...he began to feel wossy...he fell over*

"Yes...you will do."

[HorseTechie]

Raphael just watched Oni in her meditative position a little longer before sighing audiably. "Okay..." he got up to go back to the main room.

Don came back with the blankets, and set them on the arm of the couch. "Yeah, we got Honeycomb, Wheaties, and Captain Crunch" he told Randi.

[Kali]

Leonardo watched Raphael walk away from Oni, noting his brother's slightly disappointed expression. He was tempted to go over and talk with him, but Raphael never was one for a brotherly chat.
Instead he got up and went over to phone over in the corner of the main room. As he punched in April's number, he hoped he'd be able to catch her, as she was out on stories most of the time.

[Peanut]

"This thing stinks!" He thought out loud as he sniffed the scaly skin of his new body. But no matter. At least he was fully in this dimension now. Able to do whatever he pleased. Kill, Destroy, Conquer! The world was his for the taking and there was nothing anyone could do about it. But he was hungry...and for some reason...he felt like eating...Turtles!?! He didn't know why but the taste was something he desired, even though he had never eaten a turtle before. Oh well. Might as well satify his craving.

[HorseTechie]

(( looks to Mikey - are you supposed to be Leatherhead now? ))

[BlitzTurtle]

"Honey Comb, Please, Thank You Mr. Donatello..." She trailed off and sat on the couch and crossed her legs and in doing so...she suddenly felt 'blah' for 'blah' was the only way to describe it.

[HorseTechie]

Don nodded to Randi. "In a bowl with milk, or just plain?"

Raph yawned, then looked ot the others. "If anything happens.. let me know. I'll be asleep," he went back to his room to crash.

[Kali]

Leo waited for a few rings before he heard April's voice answer. "Hello?"
"Oops, sorry, did I wake you up? I didn't think it was that late."
"Leo? Oh, it's not, I just had a rough day. What's up?"
"I have a favor to ask," he said, lowering his voice. "I've got a few things that need looking up. The Amos Project, The Rhine, A.R.I., Grendel Industries, The F.9, and a Colonel Marx. I don't know if you'll find anything though..."
"I'll let the computer search overnight. I'll let you know if I find anything."
"Thanks April." Leo put the phone down and decided to follow Raph's example and go to bed.

[Peanut]

*He lifted the sewer cover and dropped down. This place smelt almost as bad as the body. He was so hungry for something he'd never tasted before...or even heard of for that matter. He picked up the scent quickly. As he tromped down the murky waters of the sewer he moved his hand to the sack on his back.*

"What's this?"

*He thought out loud as he pulled a large rifle from the sack. He moved his hand towards the trigger and pulled it up to his eye to look through the cross-hairs.*

"I've never fired one of these before...but I feel as if I've had a world of experience with it."

*As he stood still and dropped the rifle back into the sack he wonderded if this body was different. He'd been to many different dimensions but never had he kept such strong thoughts in his mind from the past owner of a body. Could it be this body wasn't like all the others of this planet? No matter. Once he full filled his hunger he'd make contact to the others so that they may feed upon this un-knowing world. Oh how he loved his job*

"Aaaaaaaa. This must be it!"

*He stood outside the den of the Turtles and pulled the rifle back out. He might need it. But he doubted it.*

[Kali]

Leo covered his ears as the den's proximity alarms went off. He ran from his room into the main room. "We've got company!"

[Peanut]

"What the?"

*He pulled kicked in the door and began blasting wildly with the rifle. He felt so alive. More than ever before. He saw green things scurrying and diving all around. Turtles? He thought. He grinned as he watched a small box in the corner of the room explode and stuffing fly from a lumpy blue object in the middle of the roof.*

"I need to feed! My brothers are waiting!" He growled out as he changed the clip in the rifle and began to fire again.

[HorseTechie]

Don didn't have much time to act when this unimaginable creature busted through and started firing at them. He ducked over by the counter, his brain a fuzz trying to decide wha to do next. He hoped Splinter and Oni were okay.

Raph flew from his bed at the sound of the alarms only to be followed with gunfire. His first thought was that Randi's military police had found them. Sai clutched tightly in hand, he stood close behind the brick wall that separated the sleeping tunnels from the main room.

Once the thing turned his back to Raph, he took the lunge. Raph jumped on its back, trying to spear it's neck and shoulders with his sai.

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: HorseTechie on 2002-02-02 12:09 ]</font>

[Kali]

Oni was jarred from her meditation by the sounds of alarm and gunfire. After a short pause she decided that she'd weakened the demon enough so that there was no risk of repossession. She grabbed up her hoko and rushed into the main room, trying to remember places for cover.

(OOC: Mike, please confirm that you are Leatherhead, who has been possessed.)

[BlitzTurtle]

In a flash, Randi was up and her guns were out. "Damn!" She hissed as Raphael jumped on the thing's back; she wasn't about to shoot at it with him so close. "Damned what-ever-it-is." She hissed as she put up her guns and backed up a bit and waited for an opportune time.

[HorseTechie]

(( ...is waiting for Mike's reaction... or shall I have Raph go for the jugular next? :wink: ))

[BlitzTurtle]

((Randi can't do much of anything with Raph so close, can't shoot--might hit Raph, can't throw whom-ever-it-is--Raph is on top of him, can't use her other mental power (the one that causes the major migrane feeling)--The stranger's reaction might injure Raph. So since Randi can't fight phyically, she's staying in the back ground waiting fer her chance so... I can't post until he does either... am I ranting?))

[HorseTechie]

(( hrmm.. well, if Raph is on the dude's shoulders, then shoot at the dude's feet! ;p ))

[BlitzTurtle]

((Nya... If Randi uses her guns, she'll shoot where its most.. *thinks for a moment* but I've got another idea!))

Randi scowled as she watched the struggle between the thing and Raph; she could easily stop this... or at least that thing. She pulled out her left gun and fired once at the creature's right calf.

[Kali]

Leonardo cringed as Randi's gun went off. He really hated guns. He had his swords drawn, standing defensively in front of Splinter and his brothers. Why did Raph always have to be so reckless?

***

Oni gulped when she realized that she was on the other side of the room from the others, and this huge monster stood in her path. She saw that Raphael was on its back, trying to fight it.
She saw Randi aim her gun and fire, then waited for an opening so she could attack without the risk of hitting Raph or getting shot.

[BlitzTurtle]

((I must wait to see if the bullet hit... wonderful... meanwhile...))
Michealangelo stood next to Leonardo with his own weapens drawn and winced at the sound of the gun going off; he could see the obvious displeasure in Leo's face. He was sure that Leo was going to give Randi some kind of speach after this was all over. Mike watched as Randi stepped back, still holding the gun in her left hand; funny, she had drank her coke with her right.

[HorseTechie]

Don ducked behind the counter again when he heard another gunshot, but then saw that it came from Randi. He bit his lip again trying to think of the best way to stop this.

This was turning into a freaky situation, with Raph wrestling with what looked like an angry an injured intruder.

[BlitzTurtle]

((hello?))

[Kali]

((I hereby place our dear possessed Leatherhead on temporary public control. Just don't kill him or seriously hurt him.))

[HorseTechie]

(( Are you sure it's not a Zombie? ))

[Kali]

((Well, maybe, but it's definitely Leatherhead. In Mike's first post, Leatherhead woke up, then encountered *something* in the alley.))

[Dr. Terminus]

Im back))

[Dr. Terminus]

sits down waiting for the other turtles to say something*

[BlitzTurtle]

((Leondardo 101, are you sure you're mentally there? We all are currently fighting LEATER HEAD!))
((Public control? okay.))

Leather Head (or so we think it is) screamed in pain as the bullet embedded itself in his thigh and moved quickly to flip Raphael off of his back.

[Dr. Terminus]

*jumps up behind leatherhead*

*backicks him*

HIt him hard guys

[BlitzTurtle]

(... I think I have a headache...)

[Kali]

((I KNOW I have one.))

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Kali on 2002-02-11 15:51 ]</font>

[coolmike1586]

*sitting on pipes above the turtles head in there lair, (quietly)* waits for the turtles to make there next action before ??? makes *its* move!

[BlitzTurtle]

(I ish waiting for someone other than 'Don' to do something... Maybe if Raph reacted to the fact that LH is trying to throw him off of his back...)

[HorseTechie]

(( *grumbles* Okay, I'm making LeatherHead an NPC ))

Raph grabbed Leahtherhead's rifle as he was flipped over the alligators shoulder. But Raph landed on his feet and then thrust the gator's rifle under his jaw.

"What the funk are you doing?" Raph growled, "We got noticing on you!"

*tag anyone who wants to RP Leatherhead next*

[Kali]

((Problem is, Michaelangelo obviously had something planned with Leatherhead.))

Leatherhead raised his arms and glared at the Turtle.

Oni approached, stopping just behind Raphael. Something about this struck her as strange, but then again, her life hadn't been exactly normal lately.

"What do you think we should do with him?" Leo asked.

[BlitzTurtle]

"Tie em' up until we know what to do with him." Randi blandly replied. "An maybe we can work on his would while we're at it."
"You mean banage it up?" Mike suggested.
"Or make it worse."

[coolmike1586]

*???* falls asleep while atop the pipes and fall off and onto the floor!!!!

[BlitzTurtle]

"What in...!" Randi glares at the new unamed person who litterally DROPPED from the cieling!

[coolmike1586]

wakes up lookin eye to eye at the round headed figure!

[Kali]

Leo looked down at the person on the floor. "You could have used the door, you know."

[HorseTechie]

Raph turns around while still holding the rifle to Leatherhead, to see what Randi was yelling about now. "Okay... who squealed about the location of our lair?" he asked openly.

[coolmike1586]

(cough) well... I was spose to keep an eye on you secretly and i had been watchin you guys for a couple days without any sleep and BLOP!!!! HA oopppsss and to let u know i did use the front door.

[Kali]

Leo glared down at the figure on the floor. "Okay, you've got about five seconds to tell us why you were spying on us."

[coolmike1586]

*stands up* cause i have been asked to watch over you many times, but uh my name is Casey Jones and i am here to help you

[HorseTechie]

"Casey who...?" Raph raises an eyebrow.

[coolmike1586]

Casey Jones: Casey Jones... why do u as twice did i st-st-studder?

[HorseTechie]

Raph just stared at the odd man, then back at the overgrown lizard. "Can I wake up from this veeery bad dream now?" he muttered.

[coolmike1586]

take care of the lizard i swear i wont do anything

[BlitzTurtle]

"Why do I not believe you?" Randi hissed at Casey Jones before giving a quick glance at the Mutant Crocadile who then flew backwards and slammed against the wall, "Some one should tie that guy up."
Mike blinked, still awed by Randi's abilties and then said, "I'll go get the rope."

[coolmike1586]

Casey Jones: no need to tie me up, *glares back imensly into randi's eyes* trust me!!!

[Kali]

Leo stood in front of Casey. "You snuck into our lair and spied on us, and we're supposed to trust you? I think not." He thought for a moment. "Won't tie you up though. But I'm keeping an eye on you."

"Gee," Oni said. "And here I thought my life was exciting."

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Kali on 2002-02-18 18:19 ]</font>

[coolmike1586]

Casey: exciting? you have no idea, *stands up and looks in Oni's face with a stern look on his face* DANGEROUS is more the term for it!!!!

[azure turtle]

(OOC: Finally, I think I've found a way to introduce my character....I hope no one objects to me bringing back Bebop and Rocksteady :grin: )

*Meanwhile, somewhere on the surface, three figures are lounging around in an alley covered with shadows. They seem to be discussing something...*

Bebop: So....uh....the boss says that yous supposed to be good at fightin'.

Rocksteady: Ya, he says that yous come straight from the Foot in Japan.

*Silence....*

Rocksteady: Umm....are we's gonna sit around forever? What's the plan?

*The figure before them grunts in response. He turns his back to them.*

Bebop: Aww, is the little toitle feelin' sad that he had to leave his mommy and daddy in Japan?

Rocksteady: Ya, I don't know what the boss was thinkin'. All toitles are nothin' but a bunch o' weenies.

*The two mutants share an evil snicker. Rocksteady turns to Bebop*

Rocksteady: I guess what's-his-name's not used to being in such a big city. Look at 'im, he's tremblin' with fear!

*Suddenly, the figure turns and a flash of light temporarliy blinds Bebop and Rocksteady. When they open their eyes, a sharp blade glints lazily in front of them. They both gasp in fear*

????: My name is Frost, and I do not fear anyone. Not even the likes of you two.

*Frost's eyes are full of rage, and the other two mutants fall silent. They sigh with relief when Frost moves his spear away from their faces*

Frost: And the plan is to wait and watch until our targets decide to make an appearance.

[HorseTechie]

(( Cool intro! ))

"Hay, I got an idea," Raph spoke up to the others, how about one of you guys tie up the alligator, then drag him out to an undisclosed place in the sewers?"

"Yeah... he's got a good idea," Don nodded. But he decided he didn;t want to be anywhere near Leatherhead for this one. Or at least until he invented a big croc trap.

[coolmike1586]

Casey: give me that blasted rope!!! i will do it!

*takes the rope, goes and ties the alligator up*

Casey: where shall i place him at?

[Kali]

"WE are going to take him," Leo told Casey. "I'm not leaving you alone with him. How do we know you aren't going to let him go? And what are you going to do if he manages to get free?"

He narrowed his eyes at Casey. "Like I said, I'm not letting you out of my sight."

[coolmike1586]

den get ur turle shell over here and lets settle this!!!

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi rolled her eyes annoyedly, she had meant to tie up the Croc, not that Casey person. She'd make a suggestion, but she doubted that Leo trusted her any more than that Casey.

[HorseTechie]

Releived, Raph lowered the rifle, then looked it over before standing it on end and leaning on it like a cane. "Yeah, then escort em out, will ya, Leo? I'm getting tired of smelling that croc," he said, while wiping some Leatherhead grime off his arms.

[Kali]

Leo took a loose end of the rope and pulled Leatherhead to his feet. The croc was a bit groggy, but fortunatly could walk. He'd hate to have to carry him. "Come on, Casey, let's go. You have this trip to convince me you mean good or I'm leaving you with this overgrown handbag. And Raph, get rid of that rifle."

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi's eyes sparkled with a joyous evil, ~No, don't get rid of it! Let an ace MARKSWOMAN have it!~

[HorseTechie]

Raph scoffed at Leo's order to 'get rid of the rifle', but when Randi interjected her thought into his head, he went into full rebellion.

"And why should you have it? You already got two guns!" he looked over to her.

[coolmike1586]

*follows Leo*

Casey: if it makes u feel better OH FEARLESS LEADER, why dont u let me drag this scumbag?

*noticing the commotion in the lair as they leave*

[Kali]

Leo looked back at Casey. "Because, it won't make me feel better."

Oni wasn't quite sure how to respond to all this. She just cleared her throat and headed towards the kitchen. "I think I'm going to get a glass of water."

[coolmike1586]

*to only Leo*

Casey: so uh where do u plan on puttin this fool?

[Kali]

Leo thought for awhile as they walked. "Not sure. Maybe I'll set him loose in Rat King's territory. With any luck he'll run into those mutants who are after Randi, too."

[coolmike1586]

Casey: as far as i am concerned he can hang by his feet from a pipe!!!

[azure turtle]

*Somewhere on the surface....*

Rocksteady: Hey, Frost, me and Bebop are gettin' bored. When do we get to shoot somethin'?

Bebop: Ya, da boss gave us some new toys to play with!

*Bebop affectionately pats a rather large looking gun. Frost opens his eyes, and snaps out of his meditation. He glares at the two sitting before him*

Frost: Have you no respect for the orders of your master? He specifically instructed us to wait for any signs of those renegade turtles. Going against Master Shredder's orders is going against the will of the Foot Clan. We shall wait here. I do not wish to discuss this topic any further.

*With that, Frost closes his eyes and returns to meditating. Bebop and Rocksteady look at each other with confused expressions*

Bebop: Since when was da boss a master?

Rocksteady: I dunno. I always thought he was just a boss. Oh well. I wish da boss didn't stick us with dis crazy toitle.

Bebop: Ya, he's boring too.

*Bebop and Rocksteady continue to argue, as Frost slowly slips away from the world around him*

[coolmike1586]

Casey: Lets leave him out to dry! but we need to do sumthin quick before he snaps out of his mood

[Kali]

Leo took a deep breath and turned to Casey. "Look, you aren't doing a good job of getting on my good side. It's only a few more minutes until we're in Rat Land, then we'll dump him, and I'm taking you to the surface."

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi shrugged, "Yes, but why should one not TRAINED to use guns keep it? If I found, or recieved a SAI or a Dagger, I'd give it to you, seein' how you are obviously TRAINED to use them."

[HorseTechie]

Raph gritted his teeth in contempt now. She sure did have a way of stepping all over his hot buttons. And now that Leo was gone, he wasn't going to hold back as much. "So what makes you think I don't know *how* to use a gun?" he faced her.

Don cleared his throat, looking to Mike. "Uhm... think we better intervene?"

[coolmike1586]

*noticing the foot up ahead*

Casey: Leo take him to were you need to go i can handle em!

*pulls out hockey stick*

Casey: Ha step up!

*with a twirle of his hockey stick Casey hits 3 of them with another 6 or 7 coming*

[Kali]

Leo just shook his head and turned down another tunnel. He should have been worried about Casey, but for some reason, he wasn't.

When he had reached his destination, he tied the end of the rope to a pipe and left Leatherhead there. Instead of going back the way he came, Leo decided to go to the surface. Maybe he'd go see April and see if she had found anything yet.

[SeaThreePeeO]

((Ooookay! I am now going to try and introduce my character. So Leonardo has gone up to the surface to find April! Right, I'll try and follow him, here goes))

Blane sat on 'his' fire escape and watched the strange new figure that had come in to view. Today had been pretty slow where action was concerned. He tried to ignore the twisting hunger in his stomac. Maybe this person had some money on them, after all he hadn't eaten in days. I quick bump job, that's all it would take. Blane checked the coast was clear and slipped down from his view point. This was gonna be easy.

((That's it I hope I don't upset anyone))

[BlitzTurtle]

"Don't put words in my mouth." She said quickly, "I didn't say you didn't know HOW to use a gun." She closed her eyes and shook her head, "Keep it, I like My guns any way."

[Kali]

((That's fine, Nun.))

Leonardo wasn't even out of the alley when he realized he was being followed. It would have been easy enough to slip out onto the street, but he didn't have his disguise. Raphael would have turned and faced the guy, which made him all the more determined not to.

He looked out at the street and realized it was empty.

"Right, like 'not trained' suddenly doesn't mean 'not knowing how to use' now..." he grumbled and turned away from her. But that's the thing, anyone could pick up a gun and shoot it to have a 75% chance of killing someone. But it takes a heckuva lot more experience to pick up something like a sai and kill someone with it.

He looked at Don, as if to ask 'what?' before sitting down at the kitchen table to look the rifle over. He really didn't want to keep it, as Raph liked the thrill of beating up punks with his bare hands. Maybe if it was still in good condition he could pawn it off somewhere.

(( gotta love reoccuring themes! ;p ))

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane hung back an watched the figure. He stared for a long while tring to make out just what he was following. Was is a person or just a bad trip coming back to haunt him?

He decided to keep his distance, maybe this person was linked to Anya's disapperance. He had heard of ninjas kidnapping people from the streets and experimenting on them. Was that what happened to his friend?

[Kali]

Oni sat down across the table from Raphael as she sipped her glass of water. She supposed she should have gone back to meditating, but she just didn't feel the urgency anymore.
"Do things like that happen... often around here?"
***
Leo felt very exposed once he was out on the street, even if there was no one out. He decided that he'd better hurry and find a safer place to be. April's apartment was only a few blocks from here.

[coolmike1586]

*hurries back to the tunnel that Leo took to put Leatherhead in and notices Leatherhead gone off the ropes, Casey bolted down the tunnel and to runout in the street, sqwinting to see Leo a couple blocks from him, and noticing a figure in the shadows following him*

Casey: now this is what u call an adventure!

*sneeks up behind the shadowed figure to slap him on the back of the head he realized that he was noticed also by darkened figure in the shadow*

Casey: Ahem, uh BOO??? (chuckles)

[azure turtle]

*As Leonardo, Casey Jones, and Blane play "follow the leader," a new threat is waiting just around the corner*

Bebop *whispering* : Hey, I tink we should dump dis toitle, and go look for da other ones. Then we get to try our new toys!

*Bebop once again affectionately pats his large, shiny, new lazer gun*

Rocksteady *also whispering* : Ya, but da boss told us to stick with dis toitle. If we don't, da boss'll get mad at us again, and he won't give us any new toys to play with.

*Bebop and Rocksteady both frown. Suddenly, Frost's eyes bolt open. He stands up, gripping his spear fiercely in one hand*

Bebop and Rocksteady *surprised* : What?!

Frost: I sense someone approaching. Ready yourselves, but stay within the shadows. I do not know if this person is one of our intended targets or an innocent.

*The two mutants nodded in agreement, and stayed close to the wall of the building. Frost took his position accross from them, peaking out from behind the corner*

Frost: Do not move unless I tell you to...

*Bebop and Rocksteady share a suspicious chuckle*

Rocksteady: Uh...sure thing, Frost.

Bebop: Ya, we'll wait for your orders...heh heh....

[Kali]

Leo stopped and turned at the sound of Casey's voice. He groaned inwardly. This guy was really getting on his nerves, did he have no common sense?

But before he could go and see what Casey was up to, he got the feeling that there was more trouble on the way. There was an alley not fifteen feet down the street, and he approached it cautiously.

[azure turtle]

*Frost sees Leonardo approaching. Suddenly, he hides back in the shadows, a surprised look on his face*

Frost *thinking to himself* : I cannot believe this. He looks like me! When Master Shredder described the evil band of turtles, I had no idea that they would resemble my appearance. Maybe.....maybe he can tell me how I ended up like this?

*Frost glances down at his blue hands*

Frost *still thinking to himself* : How did I end up like this? Was I meant to live as a turtle, or this strange being that I am now? Perhaps I should try to find some information from this turtle, before I execute my orders.

*Frost feels terrible having to disobey Shredder's command of "kill on sight," but he wants to learn more about his origin. He turns to Rocksteady and Bebop*

Frost: Wait here until I give you my command to attack.

Bebop *excited* : Dat means da toitles are here!

*Rocksteady shushes Bebop*

Rocksteady: Okay, Frost. We'll wait right here.

*They both snicker*

[azure turtle]

*Frost steps out from the alley way, and approaches the blue-banded turtle. Leonardo looks completely surprised*

Frost: You.....I have a few questions that I would like to ask you.....

[Kali]

Leo blinks a few times to make sure he's not seeing things. 'Whoa, what is this, a mutant Turtle convention?' he thinks to himself. To Frost he says, "Who are you?"

[coolmike1586]

Casey: WHOA!!! I am seeing doubles now!!!!

*looks down to the shadowy figue and he is gone*

[azure turtle]

*Frost blinks a few times before speaking. He hopes this isn't some sort of dream...*

Frost: My name is Frost. I.....want to know how we became this way......I always thought I was alone, until now. Who are you? And do you know anything about how we came into existance?

*Before Leonardo could answer, Rocksteady and Bebop burst forth from the alley, guns in tow*

Bebop: I knew it was a toitle! Quick, let's fry him!

Rocksteady: Ya, we're gonna get us a toitle! Da boss is gonna be happy with us!

*The two start firing away at Leonardo with their lazer guns*

Frost: You fools! I told you to wait!

*Frost curses and jumps out of the line of fire*

Frost: Idiots! You could have at least waited for me to get out of the way!

[Kali]

Leonardo flipped out of the way of the laser blasts. Even with their new lasers, their aim still sucked. Two well placed shuriken took care of the guns.

"This is turning out to be a very bad night." He turned to Frost. If you can tell me you're not in league with these two, I may answer your questions."

[coolmike1586]

*Casey glances up*

Casey: Man you know i sure hope that Leo starts trustin me! you know me savin his shell and all!

*runs around to the other side of the ally*

Casey: *whistles* Hey Boys whats up?

Bebop: It's good, we is finally gettin us a TOITLE!

Rocksteady: yea (snorkle) what he said!

*they both realize that he is a good guy and turn to shoot butt he is gone, the turn back around to shoot at Leo and he is swiftly gone*

Casey:*comes up from behind and plasters both of them!* that'll teach u twirps!

[Kali]

((coolmike, no offense, but you need to pay more attention to the other posts. Bebop and Rocksteady were already disarmed.))

[azure turtle]

*Frost lowers his head, sadly. When he looks up, tears could be seen welling up at the corners of his eyes*

Frost: I apologize for this ruckus, but yes, I am an ally of theirs.

*He motions to the two mutants. Bebop is crying over the metal heap that was once his new toy. Rocksteady is trying to console him*

Frost: I am a member of the Foot Clan, and I have been sent here from Japan to work for Master Shredder. I wish we could have met under different circumstances, but I have pledged my loyalty to the foot.

*Frost reluctantly raises his spear into an attack stance*

Frost: You must be quite skilled to cause Master Shredder so much trouble. Let us hope for your sake that you are as good as I have been led to believe.

*A sad tone can be plainly heard from Frost's voice. He is trying his hardest not to let his emotions get the better of him.*

Frost: Now.......

*He points the blade of his spear at Leonardo*

Frost: Face me.

[Kali]

Leonardo unsheathed his katana and slid into a defensive position. He was taught to never make the first strike, to let the opponant attack first.

"I wasn't aware that The Foot used mutants as well. I commend your loyalty, no matter how misplaced."

[azure turtle]

*Frost looks at Leonardo, a slightly confused expression on his face.*

Frost: Mutants? So that is what we are called?

*He quickly shakes his head*

Frost: I wish we could talk to each other as friends, rather than enemies. I cannot let myself be distracted much longer.

*Frost gets ready to strike, but he's rudely interrupted*

Bebop: Look! Da blue toitle's fightin' the other toitle!

Rocksteady: Ya, and the other toitle's wearing blue!

Bebop: Maybe they're related?

*Frost cringes upon hearing this*

Rocksteady: Who cares? Da blue one is on our side! Go get him, Frost!

Bebop: Ya! Show us what yous made of, Frost!

*The two mutants continue jumping up and down, cheering. Frost slaps his forehead with his hand*

Frost *muttering* : This must be why Master Shredder was in need of help.....

[Kali]

Leo smirked. "Uh huh, I thought ol' Shredhead would never get new help. It was getting kinda boring, beating these guys all the time. I'd love to talk too, but I've got to get going." He backed away, still keeping his eyes on Frost.

[azure turtle]

Frost: I am truly sorry, but I cannot allow you to leave here alive. My orders were to exterminate the four troublesome turtles. You, I believe, are one of them.

*Frost grits his teeth. This is harder than he had ever expected. He finally finds someone that can understand him, give him some answers that he'd been searching for all his life. Bebop and Rocksteady were right to a certain extent. This turtle could be the closest thing to a relative that he may ever have. And now, he has to kill him.*

Frost: This is not going to be easy.....

*Frost readies himself and begins his attack with a quick jab of his spear*

[Kali]

Leo expertly dodges the spear. "Okay, I can see you're not joking around. Wonder how Shredder'll react when he finds out there are now six of us." He pulls out his Turtle-com and jabs with his other sword. "I'll make it easy for you, you won't have to track us down." Into the com he says, "Guys, is anyone there?"

[azure turtle]

*Frost's eyes widen in surprise*

Frost: Six turtles?! I was informed that there were only four! I am not alone after all.....But I cannot let this get the better of me! My allegiance lies with the Foot!

*He continues to deflect Leonardo's attacks, trying his best to keep his offense going at the same time*

[Kali]

"Then your allegiance is with dishonor!" Leo cried, blocking and striking. He deflected one of Frost's attacks and lashed out with a kick.

[azure turtle]

*Frost staggers back, caught off guard with Leonardo's kick*

Frost: How dare you insult the Foot Clan! I shall not allow you to see the light of day ever again!

*Frost, blinded with anger, unleashes a flurry of attacks*

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane watches the fight from his hiden vanatage point. What is going on?? This can't be real! Blane feels an unexlpained rage burn inside him. How dare these people trespass on his streets and start causing trouble. Before any sense of logic could kick in Blane hurtles towards the 'blue' stranger.

((sorry I got a bit lost there, my computer mouse refused to work yesterday!))

[azure turtle]

(OOC: Hey Nunchucker, is your character charging towards Leonardo, or my character? I know my character is blue, but Leo's wearing blue too. I'm confused!)

((I am charging you! I don't know why though. Maybe you look starnger than Leo.))

[azure turtle]

(OOC: Me? Stranger than Leo? LOL! We ALL look strange!! Okay, thanks for the heads up :grin: )

*Frost quickly steps away from Leonardo, and the two pause, panting*

Frost: You are indeed skilled. It is an honor to fight with you. But I shall not let you escape. Not after that comment.

*Suddenly Frost gets distracted by a noise to his right. Foot steps. He looks up*

Frost: Who.......is that?!

*Frost quickly readies himself for a collision as the stranger gets dangerously close*

[SeaThreePeeO]

((hold that thougt I've just got to take Ana to school, But i will be back to collide with you later!))

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane crashes into the strange creature sending himself into the ground. With a little effort he manages to right himself.

((I guess I should mention that Blane has a disguise on, so looks kinda human))

[azure turtle]

(OOC: Is it daytime there, Nunchucker? I'm about to sleep in half an hour! But it's okay, post away. I'll respond tomorrow :smile: )

[SeaThreePeeO]

((Sure thing. Hey everyone! I was thinking, since I am in a different time zone, could someone take over Blane while i'm not here. His Bio is up if you need to know his history. Just don't make him do anything namby pamby!))

[azure turtle]

(OOC: Hmm, I'm sure someone would be willing to, Nunchucker, but if no one does, we'll wait for you to post. No problem :wink: )

*Frost falls on his side as the stranger collides with him. He sits up a few moments later, rubbing his sore arm. Frost looks a the stranger*

Frost: Who in the seven hells are you?! Are you an ally of the troublesome group of turtles?

*Frost quickly stands up, getting into a attack stance*

Frost: It does not matter who you are. You attacked me, thus you are my enemy. I will fight both of you. I am not afraid.

*Frost takes turns looking at both the stranger and Leonardo*

Frost: Attack me if you wish to live....

*In the background*

Bebop: Hey, should we help da blue toitle?

Rocksteady: Nah, da boss loves him. I wanna see why he's so special...

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane brushed the dirt from his torn and faded jeans. "Ninja, I hate ninja." He growled to himself, his stomac seemed to growl in agreement.

*turns to face Frost*

"I am no ones ally, but my own and I don't fight ugly people. They have less to lose."

Blane pulled a small 9mm handgun from inside his jacket. He leveled the gun at Frost.

"Hey ninja master." He smirked "Dodge a bullet?" Blane quickly glanced over at Leo. "Now I suggest you get off my streets before I kill one of you!"

((Curse my fingers))

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Nunchucker on 2002-02-22 10:06 ]</font>

[HorseTechie]

(( dang... and I'm lucky to post here during the day too.))

Raph set the rifle down and looked to Oni. Something about the way she asked him the question made a small smile appear. "Uhm... we do have our share of enemies, but not like Leatherhead. Usually it's just the Foot clan." Raph sat back in the chair and folded his hands behind his neck.

Don heard his Turtle com beep ((I'm assuming Leo had called)). "Ut-oh," Don had a bad feeling before he opened the reciever to see that it was indeed Leo. "Are you in trouble?" Don asked.

[Kali]

Leo kept one eye on his com and the other on his enemies. Did everybody have a gun? "You could say that. I ran into a little trouble on the way to April's. Shredder's got a new goon that's pretty good, and now some guy's got a gun. I'm across from Luigi's."
***
Oni leaned forward on her elbows. "The Foot's causing trouble for you too? They've been bothering my clan for a few years now."

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane glared at Leo.

"Calling for back up? Can't handle me be yourself? Aren't you ashamed?"

Blane backed up a little making sure that he had everyone in his sights.

"I won't warn you again. Get off my street!"

[Kali]

Leo narrowed his eyes at Blane. "One, these are public streets. And two, aren't you ashamed of hiding behind a gun?"

[SeaThreePeeO]

Fury started to cloud Blanes judgement.

"What did you say?" He hissed lowering his gun. "I've had it with your lot, muscling in on our streets and taking a cut in our business! And you can tell your black clad friends to stay clear as well."

[Kali]

"Black-clad? The Foot? That's them," Leo points his sword at Frost, Bebop, and Rocksteady. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane paused for a moment, turing the words over in his mind.

He narrowed is eyes. "You lier! Why should I believe you? It's just another one of their tricks." Blane pushed the peak of his baseball cap a little higer to aid his view.

He kept his gun lowered and quickly glanced around the street.

"So where's your back up Glory boy?"

[HorseTechie]

"You know the Foot too? Damn..." Raph replied to Oni.

"Geez... Sounds like you need help!" Don looked up to alert he others. Leo's got himself into a fix on the strrets, near Luigi's. I's say we go and give him a hand,"

Raph stood up with a laugh. "What he get into now..?"

"A gang member and a new Foot recruit, actually," Don told Raph, then focused his attention back on the com. "Hay Leo, still there? We'll be coming right away then!"

"Ooo... I can wait!" Raph paused, then looked back at the rifle on the table. But he changed his mind as he didn't have any ammo for it.

[Kali]

"It's not like I'm going anywhere," Leo said into the com. He looked back to Blane, a little surprised by what he saw under the brim of his hat, but didn't say anything. Frost was still here, still ready to fight, while Bebop and Rocksteady stood aside.

Oni grabbed her hoko from where she had leaned it against the kitchen counter. If the Foot were involved, she would definitely fight.

[BlitzTurtle]

((*snert* what's funny is Col. Marx an co. are STILL in the sewers! THIS is going to be good.))

Randi frowned, "I don't know who these Foot are... but, sine you guys offered to help me... I'll help."
"Well, thanks, Dudette!" Mike smiled at her as he grabed his nunchuchs, "Th-..."
"Do NOT call me Dudette."
"But..."
"Just... DON'T."
Mike shrugged, "Okay. Yo Donnie, lead the way."

[azure turtle]

*Frost narrows his eyes at Blane. The fight between Leonardo and himself had been brought to a standstill, thanks to this stranger. And now, Blane is holding them all at bay...*

Frost *angrily* : If you are a warrior, then you are a dishonorable one. A true warrior would not need to hide behind a gun.

*In the background*

Bebop: Huh? Diddya hear dat, Rocksteady?

Rocksteady: Ya....funny thing is, I feel like we've just been insulted....

Bebop *yelling at Leonardo* : See! You dumb toitle! If you didn't break our new toys, that dweeb wouldn't be able to hold us hostage!

Rocksteady *also yelling* : Ooohh, dats right! You dumb toitle!

*The tension starts to mount between the three parties involved in this staredown...*

[coolmike1586]

Casey: *runs aside Leo* come on Leo I dont see you takin these 2 on!!! oh by the way did i mention Leatherhead got loose?

[Kali]

Leo gritted his teeth. This was turning into one of the worst days of his entire life.

[coolmike1586]

Casey: come on Leo you and me can take em!

[Kali]

"Okay, you go first," Leo said. "I'll slip behind him while he's pumping you full of bullets."

[coolmike1586]

Casey: eh...no i think i will wait for the others to i will jus look scary

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane noticed Casey draw up beside Leo. His disposition changed and he raised the gun once again. He hated ninja, but he despised humans.

"Is that all you've got?" He snarled at Leo.

*Blane's Thoughts*

Trust him to pick a fight like this one. Blane started to feel nervous, he knew he was hopelessly out numbered. How long before they realised the gun wasn't loaded?

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Nunchucker on 2002-02-23 12:05 ]</font>

[HorseTechie]

Raph quietly leapt from the fire balcony over head to land neatly by Blane. "Nope," he answered the punks question to Leo. Then with lightening quick speed, Raph grabbed the punk's arm and twisted it to make him drop the gun.

Donatello stepped from the shadows near Leo. "Where's the Foot?" he whispered, then spotted the three others figures off to the side.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane tussled with this new person. He lost his gun, but what did that matter.

"Don't touch me!" He yelled producing an army combat knife from is belt.

[HorseTechie]

Raph narrowed his eyes as he also fell back into a defensive stance with his two sai drawn. "Try me," the turtle taunted him.

It was then he also noticed the unhuman like qualities about this punk as they faced off.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane crused himself. Why did trouble follow him around.

Blane held the knife up in an unagressive manner.

"Look I don't want to fight. I just want you to get off my street before you attract the cops!"

Blane shifted his weight nervously. "I don't know about you but I don't want to be arrested again." He narrowed his eyes. "Do you have any idea how difficult cuffs are to remove?"

[HorseTechie]

Raph raised an eyeridge, as he also lowered his weapons. "So... you're trying to scare us off the streets for our own good?"

'That's a first,' he thought to himself as he glanced over to the others, then back to this unusal kind of vigilante.

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Hey!" Blane snorted "For my own good!"

He placed his knife back in his belt. "If it isn't the cops causing trouble it's the Foot!"

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Nunchucker on 2002-02-23 16:47 ]</font>

[coolmike1586]

Casey: wait a minute wait a minute did i miss sumthing?

[HorseTechie]

Raph noticed the others and the two mutnat goons at what still appeared to be a standoff. Or a staring contest.

"You have it against the Foot too?" Raph looked back at the punk. "Then if you help us get rid of those three, we'll leave you alone then."

[SeaThreePeeO]

A sly smile crept out on Blane's face.

"I'm doing nothing right now and I guess I could use the workout."

Balne pulled the peak of his cap back down and turned to face Frost and his hench-creatures.

[coolmike1586]

CAsey: yea now thats what i am talkin about!

[HorseTechie]

(( Mhh.. now we'll have to wait for Kali, Azure, and Blitz to post ))

"Cool," Raph nodded in the direction of the others before heading that way.

[azure turtle]

*Frost notices that Blane had just switched alliances. He isn't too thrilled, especially seeing that he is now completely outnumbered*

Frost *yelling at Blane* : You are most dishonorable! First hiding behind a gun, then lying about your allegiance. I promise, you will have the same fate as these....*he finds it difficult to say this*...turtles!!

*Frost, still in an attack stance, slowly begins to back away from the growing group of enemies*

Frost *thinking* : I cannot believe how many turtles there are!! I....wish I could get to know them. I wish I could get answers to the questions that have plagued my mind for years. But no matter how alike we are, we come from completely different worlds. I do not think I can ever be allies with them, especially since they are enemies of the Foot.

*As Frost backs away, he gets closer and closer to Rocksteady and Bebop*

Rocksteady: Hey! What're yous doin', Frost? Aren't yous gonna fight 'em??

Bebop: Ya, Mr. Ninja from Japan! Da boss says yer one of da best warriors from da Foot! Yous can beat 'em!

Frost *angry* : You idiots! I am a warrior, but I am not a fool! The odds are against our victory!

Rocksteady: Want us to help yous fight 'em?

Bebop: We can stomp 'em good! Besides, I owe dat toitle *points at Leonardo* for breakin' my toy!

*Frost slaps his forehead in frustration*

Frost: You two are useless without your lazer guns.....

*Frost joins Bebop and Rocksteady, as the three of them try to come up with some sort of plan*

[coolmike1586]

Casey: *gets a smirk on his face* what hosers!

*Casey ag's them on to come and attack*

Casey: yea bring it on big boys *starts walkin towards them* lets see what u got!

[HorseTechie]

Frost *yelling at Blane* : You are most dishonorable! First hiding behind a gun, then lying about your allegiance. I promise, you will have the same fate as these....*he finds it difficult to say this*...turtles!!

Raph let his arms drop and looked over to his brothers. "Where have I heard that line before?"

But in a renewed sense of spirit, Raph fell back into fight stance against this *blue* turtle and those 2 dimwits. "C'mon then... hit me as hard as you can!"

[BlitzTurtle]

((Aww... I wanted Fishro to follow them! Oh well...))

What joy! He had found her! He had found Tezlof! Lt. Col. Fishro was SURE that this would enure him new rank! Yet, who were these other turtles that she was with? They were surely not from the Islands. He quickly decided only to follow and observe for now.
He moved silently as a shadow, for in essense, this gray mutant feline WAS a shadow. None of the turtles could have suspected a thing!

Randi stayed in the shadows, watching closely what the punk, Leo, Raph, the new turtle, and the two idiotic looking mutants were doing; Mike stood right next to her, deciding that it'd be best to make his own presence known only when the time was right.

Fishro grinned sadisticaly as he watched all that was occuring; it was rather funny how Tezlof being a psychic could not tell that HE was hiding as a shadow right behind her. Then again, she seemed to be preoccupied...

[Kali]

Leo was relieved that his backup had arrived, and even more so when one of his opponents became an ally. Now all that was left were Shredder's three goons. He turned to them, with his katana ready. He didn't like the way they were standing, they were up to something.

Oni had stayed up on the fire escape, trying to get a feel for the situation. Now that the sides were clear, she decided that the best strategy was to get around to the other end of the ally and block the exit in case the three Foot agents tried to escape. The shadows would hide her until she was needed.

[coolmike1586]

Casey: Does anyone else hear that?

[azure turtle]

*A small beeping catches Rocksteady's attention. He takes out his communicator, and a picture of Shredder appears*

Rocksteady: Uh...uh....hi boss!

Shredder *angry* : Well? Did you get the turtles?

Rocksteady: Well boss, y'see, it's kinda like dis...

Shredder: What?! You didn't get those turtles, did you?! Where's Frost? Let me speak to him!

*Rocksteady, quivering, hands the communicator to Frost*

Shredder: Ah, finally, a mutant with a brain. Frost, how did the mission go?

Frost: I am sorry, Master Shredder, but we are currently out-numbered.

Shredder *angry again* : What do you mean you're out-numbered?! There are only four of them! You can easily fight two, and Bebop and Rocksteady have the newest lazer gun model this earth has seen!!

Frost *nervous* : Uh....the guns were destroyed in battle, Master Shredder. And there are more than four turtles....it seems as though they have gained allies.

Shredder *enraged* : Those blasted turtles!! Will I ever be rid of their troublesome presence?!

Shredder *calms down a bit* : Okay, I've got a lock on your position. I'm sending a transport module to pick you up. Oh, and tell Bebop and Rocksteady that they're going to pay for losing those laser guns....

Rocksteady and Bebop: *GULP!*

Frost: Thank you, Master.....

Shredder: And YOU! You're supposed to be good! You're going to have some explaining to do when you get back to the Technodrome!

Frost *cringing from all the yelling* : Y-Yes, Master Shredder.

*Shredder's image disappears from the communicator. In a few moments, a transport module plows through the surface. The three mutants hurry in*

Bebop *yelling* : Yous ain't seen da last of us!

Rocksteady *also yelling* : Next time, I'm gonna beat up all of yous!!

*As Bebop and Rocksteady step in, Frost hesitates, looking at the advancing group of turtles*

Frost *to himself* : I hope we get to meet again. Maybe......it will be under different circumstances.

Bebop: Frost, hurry up! Dey're catchin' up!

*With that, Frost hurries into the transport module, and it disappears underground before any of the turtles or their alllies could reach it*

Csaey: oh MAN not again! why dont when we have them we go after them?

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane threw his arms up in disgust.

"Just when things were getting interesting!"

He stood there for a while staring at the hole left by the transport device. He then remebered about the other people in the alley. He turned to face them.

Leo lowered his swords and sighed, "Cowards."

Oni walked over and stood at the edge of the transport tunnel. "Aren't we going after them?"

Leo shook his head. "They'll be back sooner or later anyway."

[coolmike1586]

Casey: and until that time i spose i will be walkin to the station!

[BlitzTurtle]

Randi took a step closer to the group and muttered to no one in particular, "And as we move one, only more of it hits the fan."
"More of it???" Mike said as he walked around the group to the other side, "More of what?"
Randi scoffed, "Never mind."

Fishro continued to watch, maybe if he followed them he'd be able to find where these five, six others live; and THEN, he could not only get a promotion for capturing Tezlof, but a raise for the others!

Casey: *walks back towards the group* uh hmm Randi i dont know if i knwo exactly what u mean either? could u explain a little bit more in detail?

[Kali]

Leo put his swords away. "Come on, let's go, there's no point in staying here. Besides, if our fight didn't attract attention, the module did."

Oni edged around the hole to join the others.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane watched Leo.

"Wait!" He raised his hand. "Who are you and what do you know of the foot?"

Blane bent down and picked his gun off the ground. He replaced it in his jacket.
