____________________________


"AH HAHAHA!!! HA HA HA!!!" Flames shoot up behind Jack Stryker as he smiles evily. "Finally! The Culmination of my evil has finally risen!!!! BWAHAHA!!!" He grabs it and then spins around and puts a cookie tray with freshly baked cookies on the table and he begins to eat them.

"Any word yet on the translation of that....scroll thing?" A robot flys to Stryker and holds the scroll up to him. "The only word Translated is: The, Sir"

"Stupid robots when am i gonna find some real help around here?!", Just when he finishes with his cliched evil complaint a Puzzle Box falls onto his table.

"We found the box on the routine search of area 115780", Stryker picks up the box and looks at it. "So what does it do?"

Stryker opens the Puzzle box and a supernatural light shines out brightly and then a scream is let out as well, then a ghostly figure begins to emerge. Stryker sees this and Screams loudly

[Storm Wolf]

Kylie lifted her black twitching nose to scent the acrid city air. She snuffled, sneezed, and lowered her muzzle.

Acrid indeed. The many smells in the city burned her sensitive nose. She lifted her face to the sky. A new moon and no stars were visible to her sharp eyes. Kylie hated the city and yet she had remained here for some years now.

She shook her thick black mane of fur and sighed deeply "What a wretched depressing city." Kylie turned her attention back to her most important task of stalking her prey: The pizza delivery boy.

Human wasn't Kylie's cup-o-tea, only wild werewolves feasted on the flavorlessness of human flesh. It was a blood lust craving for Wilds. Kylie, however, was more focused on the pizza he was transporting. That would satiate her hunger for the night.

Kylie padded up behind the boy and was just about to make her move when the entire city block burst into howls. Kylie's ears perked. That noise...it was faint, but sounded like a scream.

Kylie slunk into the shadows. Perhaps she should investigate...

[Garou]

With an angry growl, Raphael turned off the TV. His brothers left the lair for about an hour ago, leaving him behind. He had had another fight with his older brother, like so many times before in his life. Slowly rising from from the couch, the red masked ninja turned to face the punching bag in the other end of the lair. Raph started punching the bag violently, trying to get rid of his aggressions...

*

Angel sat quietly on a rooftop, looking over the city. She had decided to leave the lair, when she saw the mood Raph was in. Suddenly, she hearded a scream in the distance.

"What the?" the feline muttered, standing up to try and locate the scream...

[KROW]

"He's mine!"

"No! He's mine!"

Although being tugged at both ends by the two beautiful ladies, Lucas smiled and chuckled inwardly.

"Ladies, ladies, please," he said between pulls. "There's plenty of me to go around, I assure you."

The trio were causing a scene outside a ritzy casino in Reno, Nevada. Lucas had just won a cool $500,000 at the crap tables and now his two escorts were fighting over which one would be more able to show him a good time.

Lucas hadn't had the time to have this much fun in a good few years. Prior to this evening, he was heavily involved in a matter of life and death -- someone's else's, as a matter of fact. After his... change... Lucas had been responsible for the deaths of a great many people. True, most of them were folks of an evil sort, with some being idiots that crossed him at the wrong time, but nevertheless, he felt no differently about it. Killing is killing, and he disliked being a killer. But, if he truly valued his own life, he would have to kill, as he swore that one fateful night in Teeside a millenium ago.

But that was the past, and the present held much more to smile about. Lucas began to laugh at the sport of his little entourage until a fell wind rushed through the lighted city.

The feel of it hit the three party-goers ferociously, but only Lucas bent over in submission. The girls gasped at his reaction, fearing that there was something wrong with their latest meal ticket. Lucas, however, was more concerned.

"Are you okay, Lukey?" the tart on his left asked.

That was no ordinary wind, Lucas thought. Something is amiss here... Something evil.

"I'm fine, cupcake," he said with a smile. "And don't call me Lukey."

He looked to the girl, but her eyes didn't meet his. He glanced at the other and saw that she, too, was still. Upon further inspection, it seemed that the entire area around him was frozen in time. Even the neon lights of the city streets stopped flashing.

What the hell?

As if to answer his thoughts, a pillar of flame sprouted from the street, taking him by surprise. Lucas has seen this before, and he never got used to it.

"Ohhh, no..." he mumbled.

Out of the flames emerged a creature with large bat-like wings and the face of a dog; a gargoyle-esque thing that frightened all who looked upon it. Lucas, though, was not as skiddish, for he saw this vile being before, even conversed with it.

"Dammit."

"Greetings, Mr. Villigrade," the creature growled. Its voice was like tires on stone.

"Griffyl," Lucas greeted with a small nod. He had to show some matter of respect to all denizens of Hell, or something bad will happen; not to him, but others.

"There has been a disturbance, Villigrade," Griffyl uttered. "The master requires your attention northeast of here."

"I'm busy."

"Pleasures of the flesh mean nothing to--"

"Not them," Lucas interrupted, signaling to the two women by a nudge of the head. "Just before your volcanic entrance, there was a strong wind that nearly took me over. I sensed evil in it, and I intend to investigate that first."

"Good," the imp snarled with a grotesque grin. "Go northeast, then, to the place called New York City. That is where the wind came from."

"Very well," Lucas muttered with a sigh. "I shall leave tomorrow morning."

"You will go now."

"I will not," Lucas said sternly, pointing his finger at the imp, resulting in a wide-eyed and angered expression from Griffyl, which is never a good thing. "I have not had a lull in my... occupation... for quite some time. Now that I have just ended the last in a total of six assignments for your master, I wish to divulge in some relaxation. Surely you can underst--"

"I do believe I said that pleasures of the flesh mean nothing. They mean nothing to me, nothing to your assignments, and nothing to the master. You will go now," Griffyl barked, pointing a gnarled finger at Lucas, "or my wrath shall be incurred."

"Really, Griffyl, there's no need fo--"

"The only pleasure you will get is of seeing these two bonebags turned to ash before your cursed eyes! Now be off!"

There was a pause, then. Lucas has seen enough death to last twenty lifetimes. He'll surely see more, but he'd rather be responsible for the killing by his own hand, not someone else's.

"As you wish, Griffyl," Lucas said, bowing slightly. "Forgive my insolence. I shall leave for New York City tonight. If I may please have some information as to why, however?"

"Yes. A tool of necromancy has been found and unleashed upon this world. It is your job to go to the source, find the tool, kill the one who possesses it, and give it to me to return to the master."

"Very well. What type of tool is it? A stone, a wand, a book?"

"A scroll."

"I see," Lucas paused, already strategizing. "Very well, Griffyl. I shall retrieve this scroll and destroy the one who holds it."

"Of course you will. When you have the item, utter the incantation you memorized to summon me forth and I shall take it from you."

"I will expect a vacation after this."

Griffyl snarled and disappeared, nothing but a puff of smoke in the air. Time began turning again; lights flashing, people laughing and carrying on, and his escorts once again going ga-ga over him. For all their efforts, however, Lucas gave no response.

"What's the matter, Luke?" the woman hooked onto his right arm asked.

"I have to go," he answered, a stern and frustrated expression covering his features.

[cowabunga14]

Casey woke up from sleepin' in a dumpster. He yawned "Man, this sucks. That Killer Scropions gang member had to knock me out with that crowbar. Then he stuffed me in this dumpster. I'll get those punkers." Casey opened the dumpster and read aloud a graffito on a wall "Mr. Jones, we're gonna kill you. You'll be one sorry vigilante when we get done with you. From: Big Bubba. Who's Big Bubba? The leader of that gang? Well, I'll have to look for him." Casey walked down the alley and saw two lowlifes robbin' a woman. "Help! Somebody please help me!" Casey ran to where the crime was takin' place. "Hey, you punks! Let her go!"

"What if we don't?,"asked the bald punk. He threw his knife at Casey, but it missed.

"Then I'll have to cause you guys a lot of pain," Casey raised his hockey stick in the air.

"Should we let her go, Larry?," asked the punk with the cornrows.

"No. We can take Mr. Jones,"replied Larry.

"You punks really think so, huh? I wouldn't count on it if I were you." Casey hit Larry in the head with his hockey stick. Larry fell down and he hit the ground hard. "Hya! All right, you want any?,"asked Casey as he pointed to the other punk.

"No, I don't." The punk ran away and dropped the woman's purse.

"That wussy. I'd knew he'd chicken out." Casey picked up the lady's purse and handed it to her. "Here's your purse, ma'am."

"Thank you,"said the woman with a smile.

"No problem. All in a day's work for Casey Jones." Casey walked out of the alley and headed for Central Park. He found a bench to sleep on. Casey heard someone spalsh in a nearby lake. He woke up and saw a green arm with three fingers stickin' out of the lake. "Is that...one of the guys?"

[The Stryker]

(Jeezum KROW, My eyes hurt from the reading...remember my brain is pea-sized)

The Ghost finishes escaping from the puzzle box and then stares at the cowering Stryker in the corner. The Ghost has the mask of Shredder but after that is basically a ghost octopus.

"Where am I?..." Said the Ghost in a Raspy voice. Stryker looks at the ghost and then screams again and runs to another corner.

"What is your Name, Idiot!?!" Shredder's ghost floats to Stryker and Stryker's eyes almost pop out from widening. "Uh....Jack Stryker, Evil Boy Genius....I do whatever you want! I swear just don't eat me!!!!"

Stryker gives the ghost a Buisness card and it falls right through Shredder's "Hands"

"Oh...Looks like you have a bit of a problem with your hands there."

[hazlov2004]

amy was on the rooftop with angel didnt know why raph got so mad hearing a scream that angle heard and said something aint right angle

[KROW]

(Jeezum KROW, My eyes hurt from the reading...remember my brain is pea-sized)
((Heh. Sorry about that. My intros are pretty long. The rest shouldn't be too bulky from here on out.))

[Ra]

((*blinks* so...long.... :o))

A dark figure moaned as it found itself flat on its back, a scaly being looking over it chuckled. "You need to watch your feet young one." He whispered as he offered a scally paw. Growling, the shadow took it and got to it's feet

"Well, if you didn't blind me with that fire blast...." the dragon's eyes narrowed

"Ra-san, if you want to be great Dragon Tamer, you must master the ways of the warrior-"

"Like adventure." Ra sighed. Yawning, she got to her feet. "Come on Drake, can we call it a night? Or a day? It's been ages since I've seen the sunlight..." Sighing, the elder dragon nodded.

"Okay. I will give you 24 hours to do what you have to. Otherwise, I'll over-train you until lava comes out of your ears..." But Ra had already left with her kyoketsu shoge in hand, going to the surface for the first time in a month, hopfully to see what the world had been up to in her absence

[Garou]

"No, it's not," Angel added to Amy, looking over at the female. She silently looked over the city.

"Let's check it out. It wasn't very far away."

[The Stryker]

"So....whats your deal anyway" Stryker put his hand through Shredder and then backed away shivering.

"I Am Oroku Saki, leader of the new york branch of the foot!...i ruled the city with -

"Yeah yeah yeah just get to how you got trapped in the box and you're all ghosty."

"Very well.... it was the year 1990 and me and my Mortal Enemies, the turtles were battling on my foot headquarters along with their master...the Rat. I didn't know that in his spare time the rat had been practicing forms of Shaolin magic."

"Ooooh....." Stryker eats popcorn.

"Near the end of the battle i managed to take down the rat but he also managed to use that puzzle box to incase my soul..forever....or until the right person opened it."

Stryker looks at Shredder and pulls wax out of his ear. "Huh? Thats me right?....Alright! Go Stryker! Go Stryker!"

"SHUT UP!!....we have mission to complete...if im going to destroy those turtles once and for all i need someone with solid hands to help me collect these ancient items..."

Stryker looks at Shredder and both of them begin laughing evily, and they continue until a bell goes off. "Oh! my cheesy tortilla chips are done!"

Shredder just watches the idiot run off and groans

[hazlov2004]

amy then nodded to angle and gave her a thumbs up and said allright lets get going

[cowabunga14]

Casey held the green hand and lifted the turtle out of the water. The turtle was without his mask and his weapons. "Casey...it's me...Mikey."

"Mikey?,"Casey pondered with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yeah. The Killer Scropions knocked me out and threw me in that lake. They threatened to kill me with a shotgun if I didn't cooperate. I didn't have much of a choice."

"Well, that's terrible,"said Casey. "Did they take your nunchakus and your mask?"

"Yeah. Big Bubba did that. He threw 'em in a dumpster. Then a garbage truck came and lifted the dumpster and dumped the garbage."

"That sucks,"replied Casey. "You think these guys are workin' with the Foot Clan?"

"I dunno,"responded Mikey. Big Bubba had a Foot Clan tattoo. Some of the gang members had clothes that had Foot Clan logos on 'em. Maybe they're trainin' to become ninjas."

"We should find shelter for the night, Mikey. We can figure this out in the morning."

"All right. I think there's a manhole not too far from here. We can sleep in the sewer."

"Ok. Let's go. You need any help gettin' up?,"asked Casey.

"No, I'm fine." Mikey and Casey got up and headed for the manhole. Mikey opened the manhole and they walked down the ladder.

Casey found some pillows and blankets in the sewer. Mikey found a place to lay down. "G'night, Casey. See ya in the morning."

"G'night,"replied Casey.

[Storm Wolf]

Kylie perched at the corner of the rooftop, overlooking the dark city block.

"Nice night for a run." She spoke to herself, her nose twitching as she did so.

The howling of stray dogs had thrown her off and she wasn't able to pinpoint the exact location of the sound. she would have to search the surrounding area to find where the noise had originated from.

Kylie usually stuck to the gound when traveling, but had decided a good run across the rooftops might rid her of that rundown feeling she'd been having for sometime now.

Kylie backed away from the edge and made a running leap to the next roof top. Her heart raced and she was filled with a sense of excitement as she made her way, searching for the thing which had caught her intrest...

[KROW]

Lucas peered out of the hotel window at the night sky. The moon was veiled underneath the numerous gray clouds. The ground featured a desolate desert with scattered brush poking through the sand. He was glad that he requested the view be away from the bright lights of the city. Tranquility was such an odd commodity in his existence. He was spending his last night in Reno, and time was against him once again. He looked to the bed at the sleeping ladies and sighed. He hated his life. All the pleasantries were wasted on him; the gambling, the late nights, the adventures. He could never truly enjoy himself. The only time he ever felt that rush of excitement course through his veins was when he utilized his powers.

Those powers, those hellish powers.

He opened the window and stood upon the sill. The high elevation brought with it a fierce wind. One of the two women felt the sheets flutter and instantly awoke to the rushing cold.

"Luke?" one of them asked, sleepy-eyed and still a bit dazed from the night's previous exploits. "Luke, what are you doing?"

Lucas pivoted upon the window sill on one heel, put his right hand on his heart, fanned out the other, and said dramatically, "My dear Candace, I fear I must venture forth into that unknown which man has never seen. I must tread the waters of fear and drink from the lips of that mistress named Death. I whole-heartedly bid you farewell. Please tell the sweet Bambi beside you upon her waking that never in my life have I been serviced in such a way, and that her talents shall never be forgotten, nor shall they be duplicated."

Candace stared at Lucas in complete bewilderment. As if to add to this, he bowed very low and smiled.

"Goodbye, my succulent lady of the night."

He leaped, but he never fell. Not but two feet upon his departure, his body began to change shape. Where his arms were there became feathered wings. His feet shortened into two great talons, and his head became plumed and his nose stretched forward into a hardened beak that hooked downward slightly. With not a sound, Lucas Villigrade flew from Reno, Nevada on his way to New York City in the form of a giant eagle.

Candace gasped at the spectacle. It was a full hour before she moved.

[Garou]

"Alright," Angel responded, leaping off the roof and spread out her white wings. It felt good to stretch the wings, especially when she couldn't do that in the sewers. Angel came to a stop after some time, her ears perking in the silent night. She knew the scream had to be somewhere around the place she was at, but where? She looked over the city for anything unusual...

[The Stryker]

Two Guards walk out of a Bank and lock the doors and then begin to talk. "So hows the wife?", "Oh she's fine just been watching alot of clow-

A Giant Drill vehicle drills out of the ground and stops in front of the bank, Stryker climbs out, Decked in Black leather and dark goggles. "Oh yeah evil stryker...Cower!!!" The Guards aim their guns at Stryker and he quickly shuts up and gets back in the vehicle, Then four robots fly out of nowhere and attack the guards, throwing them into trash containers.

Stryker crawls out of the Vehicle followed by Shredder, Shredder looks back at the drill, "Hm.. Seems vaguely familiar"

Stryker sets a charge on the door and it busts open, "Alright Money, Riches! Bling Bling! all for Jack!"

"NO! we're here for the Fire Cascade and thats it!"

"Oh fine...but im taking atleast two gold bars"

[hazlov2004]

amy started fellowing angel by running and jumping on the rooftops amy liked being with her friends for amy

[Garou]

"What the heck?" Angel turned around and ran to the edge of the roof, looking down. Near the bank, she saw two figures, one she didn't regocnize and one that looked like - Shredder?

'No, it can't be,' Angel thought. It had to be an imposter. Shredder was dead... and the feline wasn't going to believe otherwise.

"Looks like we have a job to do," she called to Amy, "How good are you at fighting?"

[hazlov2004]

amy then called back to angel im very good at fighting angle allright lets teach them badboys something they wont forget

[Storm Wolf]

Kylie skidded to a halt and took a peek at the scene below "What's this, What's this?" she whispered with a curious tone.

Usually Kylie wouldn't get involved in such human activities, but she sensed something within the bank. something new in the city.

This drew in, even though she could sense the presence of others...not all of them entirely human. Large groups made Kylie antsy, made her feel vulnerable.

She grunted and re-assesed the situation. Her curiosity got the better of her. This was just to intriguing to pass up.

Kylie made her way down the side of the building by fire escape and crept closer to the bank...

[The Stryker]

Shredder flys around Stryker as he digs through a pile of safe boxes, Stryker then opens one and it shines bright.

"Ah-ha!....The Fire Cascade!"

Stryker pulls an Orange orb out of the box, the center seems to glow with the same power as an open flame. "So...What does it do?"

"You can control the element...my foot elementals mastered the technique but before their deaths...they stored the power inside these orbs...once we find all of them..we shall rule!!"

"All right! lets hear it for EVIL!!! Woop Woop!"

[Storm Wolf]

Kylie peeked into the bank window, her eyes reflected the light of the strange glowing orb "Wow..." She gasped.

She was captivated by it...drawn to it like a dog to a tennis ball. Kylie pressed her nose to the window "I must have one."

The glass cracked slightly from the pressure...

[The Stryker]

"We're being watched......" Shredder flys upwards, Stryker just continues to look at the orb.

"How do i use this thing?" The orb then darts out of his hands and attaches to his belt. "woah...magnetic?" Stryker's Hands then light on fire.

"Uh-oh..."

[Storm Wolf]

Kylie ducked down realizing her mistake. Surely they would notice the crack that she left in the window...or the wet noseprint.

"what's wrong with me?" she growled to herself "I'm a werewolf...nothing in this city should make me cower beneath a window!"

Kylie rose up, trying to catch another glimpse of the firey orb.

[The Stryker]

When Kylie rose up, Shredder was staring back at her with those inhuman red eyes. "Hello...." Shredder flies through the window and through Kylie's head hitting her with an insane feeling of cold.

Stryker moves his arms around trying to extinguish the flames. "Ahh! Ahh get it off!!" Then one ball of fire flys off and crashes into a pillar. "Hey...Saki! i need some help over here!!"

[KROW]

Flying over the vast city of New York, Lucas enjoyed the rush of the air through his body, feathered though it was. He smiled inside himself and reminded himself that he must do this more often.

He was about to close his eyes to further relish in the moment when suddenly he saw a flash of orange light like flame emit from below.

Gods, he thought. What might this be?

He decided to soar down and investigate the source of the light, perhaps finding the scroll he was assigned to attain.

Upon landing, Lucas reverted back into human form, the mystical attributes given to him also allowing his clothes to change with him, thereby preventing him from being nude. He collapsed to his knees soundlessly, exerted from his transformation. He was fine when in the form of another animal, but upon changing back, he needed a few moments to recuperate.

A few seconds and a few deep breaths later, Lucas stood upright and attentive, fully in control of his faculties once more. The orange light was glowing from a nearby building; a bank from what Lucas could gather. Suddenly, that light flashed again, causing the shapeshifter to cover his eyes with one hand.

Scroll or not, he thought. This is definitely abnormal. I can feel it. Even if this isn't what I'm to look for, I should do something. There's evil inside here.

Lucas looked for a way in, but found nothing but concrete staring back at him. He walked the length of the wall and finally discovered a sidedoor. Unfortunately, the door was impossible to enter from the outside. Lucas smiled. Impossible it may be to a common man, but he wasn't common anymore.

Breathing deep, Lucas Villigrade closed his eyes and changed shape again. His legs spindled tight, his shoes changing hoof-like. He hunched over and smacked his hands on the pavement. Grunting, Lucas' hands morphed to match his feet, his arms thinning taught, as well. His back arched forward and his spine crackled upward, resulting in a loud bellowing growl from his lips, which bulked out to form the mouth of some great beast. His eyes shrunk and separated, his ears elongated, his head stretched and formed large horns, and he grew a tail that lashed about in throes of pain. Smoke vented from his nostrils, which grew large and dripped.

Scuffing the ground with his forelegs, he eyed the sidedoor and charged. The steel blockade bent like paper and caved in upon impact. Lucas was inside, in the form of a bull, peering at a young man in leather with a bright orange orb attached to his belt, and an apparition in the garb of ancient Japanese armor.

[The Stryker]

Stryker screams all high-pitched. "A Bull!!!.....wait what?. whats an animal doing trying to thwart an evil genius like me?"

Stryker then throws one fireball at Lucas by accident.

[Garou]

Angel blinked at the light coming from the bank and decided to check it out. When she was halfway down the wall, she heard the loud crack and saw the bull crash through the door.

"This city is getting strange," the feline sighed, deciding to follow the beast. Upon entering the door, she stood directly behind the bull and saw the fire ball coming towards them.

"Oups..."

[KROW]

Stryker screams all high-pitched. "A Bull!!!.....wait what?. whats an animal doing trying to thwart an evil genius like me?"

Stryker then throws one fireball at Lucas by accident.
Knowing that fire is one thing that can end his existence, Lucas promptly prepared to dodge the oncoming fireball.

Unfortunately, a bull is not very agile.

Lucas splayed his hooves flat on the floor and reverted back into human form. The strain almost incapacitating him, the flame soared over his body as he tried to regain his composure. Although he was tiring rapidly, he was still alive for the moment.

Bad news, he thought. I've got to get that orb away from this clown. Clearly he doesn't know the power he possesses. And this ghost. No doubt this is who the scroll resurrected.

Lucas glanced behind him, feeling a small presence, and saw a strange, bat-winged creature about to collide with the fireball.

Great, he thought. Decision time.

Lucas stood up shakily and charged the leather-clad youngster with every ounce of energy he had left.

She's got wings, Lucas concluded. She'll be fine... I hope.

[The Stryker]

Stryker sees Lucas coming towards him and he quickly begins running, Flailing his arms and screaming, He stops at a wall and then gets hit by Lucas pretty hard. "Hey....what did i ever do to you?!"

[KROW]

Stryker sees Lucas coming towards him and he quickly begins running, Flailing his arms and screaming, He stops at a wall and then gets hit by Lucas pretty hard. "Hey....what did i ever do to you?!"
Lucas tackled the boy to the ground, taking the orb off his belt and holding it up away from his reach.

"Do you realize what this could have done?!" Lucas shouted, "Evil such as this should not be allowed to--"

The shapeshifter looked at Stryker with a confused expression.

"How old are you?"

[Storm Wolf]

What to do...what to do....who...when...what's going on?
Kylie's mind was racing Bulls...ghost...boy....orb.

Suddenly all else drained form her mind ORB her eyes locked on the object and the hand that held it Round....Shiny....pretty....must have it!
Without much consent from the logical part of her brain, Kylie lept through the window.

She landed with a thud, shards of glass littering the floor around her feet Must have it....gotta get it She sped foreward on all fours, tongue flopped to the side like an overjoyed house dog BALL!

Before any of the party had noticed her breakin she had the orb firmly clasped in her jaws and was making a mad dash toward the door Lucas had busted down Mine....yes...yes... She raced into the street mouth full or Orb MINE.

[KROW]

Before any of the party had noticed her breakin she had the orb firmly clasped in her jaws and was making a mad dash toward the door Lucas had busted down Mine....yes...yes... She raced into the street mouth full or Orb MINE.
Before Stryker could answer, Lucas felt a sharp twinge in his hand. He looked and saw that though his hand was still there, the orb was not. Peering further near the wall of the complex, he noticed a black wolf-like creature running away through the opening he himself had made, its mouth a bright orange.

"Ahhh, crap," he muttered.

More decisions. Lucas concluded that even though the scroll was why he was here, the boy and the ghost were obviously in this bank to procure the orb. Now that the artifact was in the clutches of an unknown, he had to make sure it wasn't used for any ill purposes, by accident or otherwise.

He clutched Stryker by the collar of his leather clothing and pulled his face close to his own. "You," he growled. "You have unleashed enough Hell on this world. I should kill you, but I have other matters to attend to. Remember this, worm, your time will come. I will be back for the scroll you used to summon forth this apparition, and I will promptly take it from you after I end your miserable life."

Lucas dropped Stryker to the floor and transformed once more, this time to that of a wolf. He sprinted out of the opening he made, determined to get back the dangerous item which was taken from his grasp. Once that is done, he will return and destroy the foolish boy, take the scroll, send the ghost back to whence it came, and give it to Griffyl.

I am definitely getting a vacation after this, Lucas thought as he ran after Kylie. Definitely.

Casey woke up and said "Mikey, you should get up. We should get some breakfast."

"All right. I'll get up,"said Mikey as he yawned. "What're we gonna have for breakfast?"

"Well, I haven't eaten for a few days,"replied Casey. "I was thinkin' we could have some pizza. I don't have a lotta money. Just fifteen bucks."

"I have $5.49,"Mikey responded. "You wanna combine the money?"

"Sure. It'll probably pay for everything. Earl's Pizza Place isn't too expensive. We should head out. Its a quarter to eleven,"said Casey as he checked his watch. "Mike, you might wanna find a trench coat and a hat. That way someone won't find out that you aren't human."

"That's a good idea." Mikey found a trench coat and a top hat by the sewer ladder. "Who just leaves their stuff in here? Is someone tryin' to set a trap?"

"How should I know? It isn't likely that this is a trap. Maybe someone just forgot to pick their stuff up. It happens."

Casey and Mikey headed out for Earl's Pizza Place. They walked in and ordered their food.

"What can I get you two gentleman?,"said the man behind the counter.

"We'll have a ten slice pepperoni,"replied Casey. And a
milk and orange juice."

"That'll be $8.34. You guys are number twelve." The man handed Casey the change and the drinks. Casey and Mikey sat down. Mikey opened his orange juice carton while Casey looked out the window.

"What're you lookin' at out there?,"asked Mikey as he sipped his orange juice.

"I thought I saw a Killer Scropion, but it might've been someone else. He looked like he had a Foot Clan tattoo. I wonder if it was Big Bubba?"

"Was he about seven feet tall?,"pondered Mikey.

"Looks like it. He hid somewhere, though. I didn't get a good look at him."

"That was probably him,"replied Mikey.

Big Bubba and four Killer Scropions snuck around in an alley. "I think Mr. Jones spotted us,"said Big Bubba with a gruff voice. "We have to be real careful." Bubba and the gang members walked into Earl's Pizza Place.

"Number twelve, your pizza's done,"yelled the man. Casey got up and picked up the pizza. Bubba waited till Casey sat down. He and the gang members walked up to the table.

"Mr. Jones," yelled Big Bubba as he punched the table. The impact of Bubba's fist broke half of the table.

"Are you lookin' for trouble ?,"asked Casey as he reached for his hockey stick.

"Yeah,"replied Bubba. "We wanna fight you!"

"Why? Huh? Tell me why."

"Because we can,"answered Big Bubba.

"I don't think that's a good enough reason. I need somethin' better. Somethin' that'll convince me,"said Casey.

"You wanna be convinced, huh? I'll convince you...with my fists!"

" You should cool it, dude,"Michelangelo butted in at the wrong time.

"Who's your little green friend here? I think I saw him before. He looks familar."

"What's it to you? I thought you wanted to fight me. Let's go,"said Casey.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Casey. Do you really wanna fight him, Bubba?"

"Of course I do. That's why I came here. Jones, let's fight! Come on! You know you want to!" Bubba's taunting caused Casey to get up and smack him in the face with his hockey stick.

"You happy now?,"asked Casey.

'I'm ticked off!" Bubba lifted Casey by his shirt and threw him at the counter.

"Hey, what's goin' on out here?,"wondered an employee.

"You wanna fight too, huh?,"asked Bubba as he pointed to the employee.

"Not really. I'm gonna tell the manager."

"Well, too bad,"Bubba punched the employee in the chest and he fell down. "Who wants some? Huh? Do you?"

Mikey shook his head no. He tried to see if he could wake Casey up. "Casey, get up. Bubba's on a rampage." Casey woke up after Mikey slapped him in the face a few times. He saw a pizza tray and threw it at Bubba.

Bubba turned around and picked Casey up by his neck. "Was that you? Jones, did you throw that?"

"Uh-huh. I wanted to get your attention,"Casey's voice altered as Bubba held his neck, almost choking him.

"I was just about to head out the door. I'm not finished with you!" Bubba dropped Casey on the floor. He and the gang members walked out the door.

"I'm gonna get you, Big Bubba. Even if it means havin' to hurt myself. I'll find and fight you,"Casey talked to himself and got up. "Mikey, let's go."

"Where are we gonna go?,"wondered Mikey.

"I dunno. Some place safe. Some place where we can keep an eye on Big Bubba."

[Garou]

Angel blinked, seeing the bull transform into a human before her. It almost paralyzed her, until the fire ball came a little too close. Without knowing what she did, the feline set up a shield of water, which killed the fireball as they connected. She had no idea of what was happening. Suddenly, one wolf crashed in, grabbed something and ran again, and then the bull, man whatever turned into a wolf too and ran after the other.

"Wolves, it had to be wolves," she grumbled, trying to think of the best thing to do. Should she follow the wolves or find out what was going on here. With a look around, she saw Stryker on the ground. But where was the one dressed like Shredder?

[The Stryker]

"Get them!!! they're getting away!!!"

Stryker dusts himself off and looks at Shredder and blows him off. "Fine fine don't rush me...i got it all undercontrol....Stryker-Bots!! Chase!"

Five Robots with jet Packs fly past Stryker and in the direction of Kylie and Lucas, Then Stryker jumps up and jets come out of his Boots and he flies after them as well. "AND IM 17!!!!!"

[Storm Wolf]

Kylie skidded to a halt in a familiar alley way. The sky was gradually begining to lighten, in a matter of hours the sun would be creeping across the rooftops.

Kylie rummaged through a few discarded boxes, Orb in mouth.

She gave a muffled growl where did I....ah ha... Kylie pulled out a ball of clothing and spat the orb out.

"Someone will come looking for this, but If they don't know I'm lycanthrope...", Kylie then began the process of reverting back to her human form. She stretched herself out and stood up on two legs, she rolled her shoulders and craned her neck placing everything in its proper position. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and concentrated...

The thick fur began to melt away, her body shrank and her skin once again became the soft white color of human flesh. Her muzzle shrank down to a soft pale nose and the thick full lips that only a woman can posess.

Klie stood shivering for a moment, it felt like she had ice in her veins. She never could get used to the temperature shifts when changing.

Kylie dressed herself and placed the orb in the inside pocket of her coat. The firey ball glowed faintly through the coat. "dammit...", She snarled "Like no one is gonna notice that."

[hazlov2004]

amy looked at stryker she then started thinking about why stryker was on the ground

[KROW]

Lucas sprinted, exerting himself terribly. It was fortunate that he changed into a wolf; running wasn't as painful. Also, he could faintly smell fur and feel the heat of that orb. Truly these heightened senses come in handy.

Suddenly, the scent was gone. Lucas skidded to a stop on the pavement in hopes to get it back again. No luck; it was gone. However, he could still feel the warmth of the orb. He walked now, letting the heat guide him as he caught his breath and regained his strength.

After a good few minutes, he saw a very dim glow up ahead on the street. He closed his eyes and concentrated. Upon opening them again, he was able to not only feel the heat of the ancient artifact, but also see the trail that heat left behind.

Beautiful, he thought, and smiled.

He began to trot now, the orange glow getting a little brighter, the heat a little more intense.

I've got you now.

But what he saw then took him by surprise. There was no black wolf, but a slender and beautiful woman. She was wearing a coat and shivering a little. Also, she carried a familiar scent with her...

Ah, Lucas contemplated. A woman, eh? Must be a lycan. This could work to my advantage.

Lucas ran into an alley and changed back to his human self. He quickly tried to recover from the transformation so he would not lose sight of the woman. A few short breaths later and he dashed out of the alley, eyes darting around.

There she is.

Kylie was walking down the sidewalk near some closed down stores. Lucas sauntered after her, cool, calm, and collected.

[Ra]

Ra grinned as she jumped from rooftop to rooftop. This was great - getting out of training for once. She skidded to a stop though, when she saw something like smoke. Little did she know that this was coming from the ghost of Shredder. "What the hell...?" She muttered, her eyes narrowed. "It looks like a fire." Her voice whispered to herself. Growling, she found that there was no pathway from the rooftops to get to this patch of smoke. Hissing silently in frustration, she jumped from the roof and landed on the ground with a dull thud. Looks like running will have to do for now

[The Stryker]

"Oh No you don't!" Stryker flies in front of lucas and towards Kylie quickly seeing the heat from his goggles. "Boy Genius! HAHAHA!!!"

"Wait..."

"AHH! How did you catch up so quick?!"

"Im a ghost....we can move pretty fast...let the Lycan go...her greed and inner evil will eventually eat her from the inside and then we'll be able to retrieve the Cascade much more easily.."

"Aww...but I want it!"

"There are still three more...if we have just two more than them...we'll always the advantage...and i know where the water element is located...not to far."

"Oh...sounds great where is it?"

"Follow me."

Stryker looks at Lucas and sticks his tongue out and then flys up after Shredder.

[Garou]

"This is insane," the feline hissed to herself, trying to follow up with Stryker and Shredder. Angel pulled out the shell cell from a small pocket and opened it. After a few seconds, it was answered.

"Raph, something strange is going on in the city and I need your help. I - I think Shredder's back..." The other end of the line was dead for a second.

"I'm coming," Angel gave the turtle her exact position and cut the connection, still trying to follow after Stryker. When the boy came to a stop, Angel hid behind a dumpster to listen.

*

"Damn," Raph hissed, grabbing his Sais on the way out of the lair. He didn't bother leaving any note for his brothers. He didn't care. Hearing that Shredder may still be alive was hard to believe - but he had tricked them before. The turtle sprinted off, leaving the empty lair behind him...

[Storm Wolf]

Greed....inner evil....

Kylie cocked her head to one side "Tough talk from something that's purely just that." She growled under her breath.

She turned in time to watch Stryker shoot into the air. She shook her head "The pup must only be 12 summers old...much to young to dabble in evil."

Kylie turned her attention to the man standing before her. Something about him was odd, though she couldn't quite put her claw on it. She moved her emerald eyes to meet his, searching for the answer.

Kylie's pupils narrowed and her body tensed. She remained silent, waiting for what was next...

[The Stryker]

"So where are we going next?" Stryker took off his goggles and put them on his head.

"the Brooklyn bridge"

"Hm? sounds kinda...done before, like in some crappy movie."

"Shut Up! idiot! they were scattered by some force and were placed in those places for a reason!"

"And the reason is...?"

"Lets just go...how did i get stuck with an idiot like you?"

Stryker and Shredder begin to fly again and head over the ocean, Stryker laughing evily for no reason.

[cowabunga14]

Casey and Mikey run up a ladder to a rooftop. They waited. Finally Big Bubba and his crew showed up. "That sun of a gun must pay,"mumbled Casey as he put on his hockey mask. Big Bubba's feet stomped on the ground as he walked. The gang members had a difficult time keepin' up with him. Mikey threw a pebble to get Bubba's attention. Bubba looked up, but Casey and Mikey hid.

"Mikey, are you out of your mind?," asked Casey. "He coulda spotted us."

"Relax. I was tryin' to get his attention. Tryin' to play a prank on him."

Bubba walked up the ladder and said "I'll be down in a minute guys. I wanna see who threw that pebble." Bubba got to the rooftop and saw Casey and Mikey layin' down. "Who threw that? Who was it?"

"It was me,"answered Mikey as he stood up.

"All right, turtle boy,"yelled Bubba. "You wanna fight me, huh? That can be arranged!"

"I don't wanna fight you. Where did you get that idea?"

"I dunno. I guess I'll let you go this time. Next time you won't be so lucky."

"Phew. That was close,"said Mikey as Bubba walked down the ladder.

"Yeah,"replied Casey. Is Bubba goin' anywhere?"

"Looks like it. I think he's headin' for the Foot Clan building."

"We should follow him,"said Casey. "Find out what he's up to."

"Casey, are you sure about that?"

"Yeah. I have a plan." Casey and Mikey headed down the ladder and hid so Bubba couldn't see 'em. They followed Bubba quietly.

[Ra]

Ra ran as fast as she could, keeping her sharp eyes on the faint cloud that was from Shredder's ghost. After five minutes of following, Ra was more determined than ever to find out what this was. It couldn't be a fire, otherwise there would be people screaming, maybe even a dragon. But the smoke was very whispy and light, almost like the clouds in the night sky. Grinning, she jumped over a park bench and ran though a crowd, people parting for her like a knife through butter. No one would be sane enough to mess with this very wild looking girl. Especilly since they thought she had escaped from the local asylem

[Garou]

Angel growled and started to fly after the boy and Shredder's ghost, all the time scanning for any of the guys on the ground or the rooftops. She had tried calling the Leo, but he didn't respond. Maybe the other guys were off fighting... The feline suddenly spottet something. Ra? The human girl was running through a crowd of people, so how did she get her attention?

The feline landed in an alley where she knew Ra had to pass her sooner or later. When the human passed it, Angel shot out her arms to grab Ra by the shoulders and drag her in.

[hazlov2004]

amy started running after angle and headphones and tryed calling mikey and was in the ally with angle (hey garou im gonna be going somewhere but i`ll be back ok)

[The Stryker]

Stryker continues to fly and looks down quickly and notices a couple of people looking at him and even fewer actually following. "You would think they never saw an evil jetboot rig before"

"Don't watch the ants...they'll all be dead by next morrow."

"Huh?"

"TOMORROW!!!....idiot"

Stryker puts on his goggles and looks towards the Brooklyn bridge. "Only a couple hundred more feet...and i can spot it from here..theres a sharp dip in the temp of the bridge...it seems to be inside the pavement."

Stryker puts the googles over Shredder's eyes and he looks through them and smiles evily. "Perfect...all we need to do is stop traffic"

"No Problem... Stryker-Bots! stop traffic!" 7 bots fly past Stryker and Shredder and towards the bridge. "Im not such an idiot after all, Huh?"

[Ra]

Ra gasped as she felt a pair of paws grab a hold of her and pull her into an allyway nearby. She struggled, managing to squezze out of a very tight grip. As she turned and pulled out her kyoketsu shoge, she reconized the figure right away. "Angel?" She lowered her weapon. "Geez! Don't scare me like that! You know how up tight I can get."

[Garou]

"Sorry," Angel smiled, "But I couldn't just walk out on the street and wave..." The feline looked past Ra to see if anyone was looking, just to be sure that she hadn't been spottet.

"Alright, we have a slight problem - I think Shredder is back or... rarther his ghost. He and some boy are on their to the Brooklyn Bridge. We need to find out what they are up too. I've called Raph, but Leo isn't picking up his cell shell..."

[Ra]

Ra's eyes widened. "And does this ghost produce a trail of smoke, prehaps?" She asked. "I've just gotten out of training when I saw something. I'm following it to the source. Well, I was following it."

[Garou]

"Ehm," Angel thought for a second, "Yeah, I think it does..."

[KROW]

Kylie turned her attention to the man standing before her. Something about him was odd, though she couldn't quite put her claw on it. She moved her emerald eyes to meet his, searching for the answer.

Kylie's pupils narrowed and her body tensed. She remained silent, waiting for what was next...
Lucas stared into Kylie's eyes and saw a fire there that, in all through his days, hasn't been matched in years. He smiled confidently and chose to put on his trademark charm.

"Good evening, young lady," he said. "My name is Lucas Villigrade. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Lucas started to pace in front of Kylie slowly, yet still keeping his eyes locked on hers.

"Ive been following you for a good hour or two, simply because you have something I would like..."

He stopped and saw that the woman was not impressed. In fact, she looked downright unamused. But Lucas wasn't done.

"... a moment of your time," he said, bowing his head just a little and smiling, his eyes still meeting hers. He stood upright and offered his hand to her.

"Care for a drink with me?"

[The Stryker]

Stryker lands on the center of the Brooklyn Bridge, He looks around and stares at the River. "Hm...water..kinda fitting"

He then pulls out a glove with metal claws and begins digging into the pavement, He hits a spot and then sees a part of the water orb. "Ah-ha"

"The Water Element...once we have this the Fire element held by the Lycan will be all but useless...."

"Great! All for Jack!"

Stryker pulls the orb out of the pavement and holds it up as it glows as well but in a blue glow different from the fire. "Wow...neat..WATER!!"

The water around the bridge shoots up and forms an arch over the bridge.

"MWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

"Enough with the laughing!!!"

[Storm Wolf]

"... a moment of your time," he said, bowing his head just a little and smiling, his eyes still meeting hers. He stood upright and offered his hand to her.

"Care for a drink with me?"

Kylie raised a brow at the offered hand, slightly amused and yet some what amazed. Finally she gave a smirk "Kylie...", She placed her hand on the offered one "Kylie Yareni and I am quite pleased to meet such a gentleman in this city."

Kylie gave a wide smile showing her slightly enlarged canines "A drink would be nice about now.", She kept her eys on Lucas, but her free hand clenched the outside of her coat where she had placed the fire orb.

[Ra]

Ra nodded as Angel talked, but then her attention was diverted as pillers of water came up from the Brooklin Bridge. "Oh crap..." She looked back at Angel. "Fill me on the way. It looks like Shredder has something going down at the Bridge! I just hope Raph as the same idea."

[The Stryker]

"I finally feel the power....the flames freaked me out but now i understand it all...but one question...why was I the one chosen to open the puzzle box and release your soul?"

"What?"

"The Scroll said the Box would stay closed until the one who is supposed to open it, Opens it...why me?"

"My Bad luck......Quickly i can sense oncoming law enforcement and the distinct energy waves...of the turtle they call raphael.."

"Oh don't worry man, if he comes here and tries anything, He's Turtle soup..."

"Ugh...my son..."

[Garou]

Angel nodded to the human.

"Alright."

*

Raph sprinted over the rooftops, his gaze suddenly falling upon a huge water arch.

"Now that's not something ya see every day," he commented to himself, quickly getting closer to the bridge. On top of it, he could see two shadows, but not who it was. Without any further thinking, he raced towards it...

[cowabunga14]

Casey watched Bubba walk into the Foot Clan base. He found some handcuffs and keys on the ground. He decided to use 'em for his plan. Casey snuck up on a Foot Ninja and said "Look up, punk." The impact of the hockey stick made the ninja fall to the ground. Casey took off the Foot Ninja's costume and wore it. He hid the body in a nearby dumpster. Casey put the handcuffs on Mikey as part of the plan. They walked into the Foot Clan base.

Casey walked up to another Foot Ninja. He held the handcuffs by the chain. "I caught a Ninja Turtle. He gave up so easily. I couldn't resist."

"Right this way." The Foot Ninja escorted Casey and Mikey to where Big Bubba was trainin' the Killer Scropions to become ninjas.

Casey walked up to Big Bubba and spoke. "Bubba, I caught a Ninja Turtle. He wanted me to take hm here."

"Ok,"replied Bubba. I know where to take him." Bubba took Mikey to a dungeon.

"Now, wait just a minute,"yelled Casey from across the room. Everyone that was trainin' stopped and listened. They stared at Casey. He removed the mask. Bubba turned around.

"Who's that?,"questioned a Killer Scropion.

"Whenever there's injustice, you'll find me. Whenever liberty in bein' threatened, I'll be there. The name's Casey Jones and I probably don't like you."

"Jones, you'll pay for this!" Bubba rushed up to Casey and punched him in the face.

"You really think so? What if I don't wanna fight you?"

"Well, tough luck. I'll fight you anyways. I probably won't lose."

"I could make you lose,"said Casey. What are you gonna do to me, huh?" Casey found a bo staff on the ground and hit Bubba with it.

Mikey got the key from Casey and unlocked the handcuffs. He found some nunchakus and fought some Foot Ninjas. Casey continued to hit Bubba with the bo staff.

Bubba picked Casey up and threw him at a wall. Casey landed with a grunt. "That was startin' to annoy me, Jones."

"That's not my problem,"reponded Casey. Casey got up and threw his bo staff at Bubba. The end of it hit him in the face.

The Killer Scropions saw what Casey did to Bubba. They started to fight Casey and Mikey.

"You think we could take 'em, Mikey?"

"Yeah. There's about twenty of 'em."

Casey and Mikey took out some Killer Scropions, but more kept comin'. Some Foot Ninjas came with axes.

"What are we gonna do now, Casey?"

"We could run! There's a exit out the back." The two ran for the exit and locked it. Mikey and Casey headed for safety. They rested in an alley so they could figure out what to do.

[KROW]

Kylie raised a brow at the offered hand, slightly amused and yet some what amazed. Finally she gave a smirk "Kylie...", She placed her hand on the offered one "Kylie Yareni and I am quite pleased to meet such a gentleman in this city."

Kylie gave a wide smile showing her slightly enlarged canines "A drink would be nice about now.", She kept her eys on Lucas, but her free hand clenched the outside of her coat where she had placed the fire orb.
Lucas took her hand and gently kissed it.

"Lovely to meet you on such a pleasant night, Ms. Yareni," he said with a smile. The two walked inside a nearby tavern and sat on two empty stools. Lucas could sense the orb emanating from her clothing, but couldn't tell exactly where the werewolf had hidden it. If it was just in her coat, then he nnedn't too much concern. However, if she hid it somewhere cloer to her person, things could pose problematic. He might just have to find some way to disrobe her.

Still, there was something about her that he fancied that he never noticed in other women. She held a fire in her eyes and her demeanor was downright alluring. Easy, Lucas, he thought. That's just the wolf in her taking effect on you. You're a changeling. Act like it. Adapt for Chrissake.

"So," he said, "What's your preferred drink, Kylie?"

[Ra]

Ra climbed an escape ladder and closed her eyes. Magic wasn't a strong point of hers. In fact, she wanted to stay as far way from the subject as possible. But if it meant to stop Shredder....

With afew well chosen words, shadows came from all over the city onto one disk. The disk transformed into a dragon-like creature, but had more of a bird like apperance. Ra jumped on it and turned back to Angel. "Well, are you coming or not?"

[The Stryker]

"Alright i think i got the hang of this thing...lemme try it out..."

Stryker thrust his hand forward and a wave of water shoots over the bridge and knocks a police car into the barracade of the bridge. "Hahaha!! I Have the power!!!"

"We should get going....NOW"

"Heh, Why? theres noone that can stop me...i control water! who else can say that?!"

Stryker then spots a News Chopper and looks straight at it. "Jack Stryker!! New York...FEAR ME!!!!"

[Garou]

Angel blinked. She knew Ra was a Dragon Tamer, but it was still amazing to look at.

"Heck yeah!" she replied, jumping onto the dragon with Ra.

*

"Well, well, well," a dark voice came from behind Stryker. The red-masked turtle smirked to himself with crossed arms, "You really think a boy can take over the city?"

[The Stryker]

"Ha....i've been waiting..." Stryker moves his arm up and then a blast of water smacks from from the side with intense speed and force.

"Im issuing a warning to you and anyone freedom fighters that might rise up...Me and the Saki man are taking over and once we have all the elements there will be no one to stand in our way!" Stryker then hits Raph with another wave of water.

[Storm Wolf]

"So," he said, "What's your preferred drink, Kylie?"

Kylie was a bit flattered by the kiss on the hand, but hadn't shown any signs. It would be unwise to show this man that I have emotion such as that She reasoned.

"Drink....yes..." She thought for a moment "Normally I'd go for a Strawberry Daiquiri..."

She paused with a half-smile on her face "...But I don't feel very fruity today. Better make it a Bloody Mary."

Kylie looked to Lucas "Out of curiosity...what will you be having, Mr. Villigrade?"

[KROW]

"Drink....yes..." She thought for a moment "Normally I'd go for a Strawberry Daiquiri..."

She paused with a half-smile on her face "...But I don't feel very fruity today. Better make it a Bloody Mary."

Kylie looked to Lucas "Out of curiosity...what will you be having, Mr. Villigrade?"
"Please," Lucas said with a very warm smile. "Call me Lucas, or Luke if you prefer. Bloody Mary, eh? Sounds apt for a night like tonight. I'll have the same. Barkeep!"

The bartender ambles over and takes Lucas' order. Once the drinks were served, he leaves to attend to other consumers. Lucas takes advantage of the silence, and decides to make an attempt for the orb.

"Kylie, forgive my impertinence but, what is that strange orange glow coming from your legs?"

[Ra]

The summoning of the shadow dragon had weakened Ra. Still, even though as she slumped against the dark neck of the shadow dragon, she never let it show on her face. She gasped as she saw a pillar of water rise up from the bridge. She turned around "Angel!" She yelled over the roaring wind. "Hang on! We're going to go really fast!"

[Garou]

"What the-" Raph barely had time to cry, until he was thrown off his feet by the water. The turtle got onto his knees and was ready to draw his sais and attack - if it hadn't been for shot number two. The last blast caught him totally off guard, sending him closer to the edge.

"Elements? What elements?" he growled, trying to get up again.

*

Angel looked down and then turned her gaze to Ra. She pressed her own wings closer to the body, so they wouldn't catch the wind and make her fall of.

"Alright, bring it on..."

[The Stryker]

"I will control the elements Amphibian...and with your meek powers they'll be nothing you can do to stop me!"

Shredder flys from behind Stryker and looks at Raph "Hello old Friend...hows Splinter?"

[cowabunga14]

The two ran for the alley and sat down. Mikey sat on a cardboard box and Casey sat on a stack of newspapers. "Ya know, Mikey, we gotta fight the Foot Clan. Not chicken out."

"Yeah, I know. There was too many of 'em. We had to get outta there. I didn't wanna end up clobbered."

"I know what you mean,"replied Casey. "If we fought most of 'em, then they wouldn't chase us down later." Casey heard someone walkin'. "You hear that, Mikey?"

"Uh-huh. I wonder what it is." Five Foot Ninjas jumped into the alley and drew their weapons. Casey picked up his hockey stick and hit two ninjas in the head with it. Mikey took out the nunchaks he found in the Foot Clan base. He fought the remaining Foot Ninjas. The bodies fell to the ground like ragdolls. "They don't make Foot Ninjas like they used to."

"Truism,"said Casey. He walked up to a katana on the ground. There was blood on the blade. He picked up the weapon and swung it. "I wonder who did this. Is this a was of sayin' that someone wants to kill us?"

"How would I know?,"questioned Mikey. " It looks like Big Bubba's katana. I saw him holdin' a katana earlier. I wonder who he impaled with it?"

"Who wants to know who he stabbed with it? I don't think he cut himself. That wouldn't be a wise thing to do. He probably just did it to some innocent person. I'll keep the katana cuz it might be useful. It might even be a clue."

The two walked up a fire escape to Casey's apartment. They watched the news for information on the Killer Scropions.

[Storm Wolf]

"Kylie, forgive my impertinence but, what is that strange orange glow coming from your legs?"

Kylie looked down at herself, noticing her jacket had fallen open slightly Dammit she thought how could I be so careless? She pulled the jaket around her trying to cover the glow.

"What? that?" She couldn't think of a proper explination "That's nothing my dear, Luke.", She smiled sweetly knowing he wouldn't buy that explination at all.

[KROW]

Kylie looked down at herself, noticing her jacket had fallen open slightly Dammit she thought how could I be so careless? She pulled the jaket around her trying to cover the glow.

"What? that?" She couldn't think of a proper explination "That's nothing my dear, Luke.", She smiled sweetly knowing he wouldn't buy that explination at all.
Lucas peered at Kylie, his eyes narrow slits upon her facial features. He finished his drink and decided to stop playing.

"All right, Kylie," he said, standing up suddenly. "I'll be honest with you. I saw you earlier tonight, running through the streets, carrying a certain item of orange, and..." Lucas paused. He looked around, making sure that no prying ears were listening.

"...dressed in black fur...

"Now before you speak, I must tell you that your alter-ego does by no means intimidate me, nor does it cause me to cower in fear and awe. I am a changeling, one who can alter their appearance to that of any animal at will. You may know this already, for I saw you in the bank tonight after I transformed back from being a bull.

"But that's not important right now," Lucas said with a wave of his hand. "What is important is that you give me that trinket before it can cause someone some serious harm. I know what type of item it is, and therefore must protect it from being used by the ill-willed, and the unknowledgeable.

"Please, Kylie," Lucas said, almost pleaded as his eyes grew with deep concern. "Please give it to me."

[Ra]

Despite being weakened, Ra couldn't help but give off a smile of a maniac. "If you say so." With a nudge of her knees, the shadow dragon gave a harsh call and took off at break-neck speed

[Garou]

"Wah," Angel gasped at the sudden change, not prepared for the speed. But she managed to hold on tightly, praying that the dragon didn't notice the sharp claws being digged into it's skin.

*

Raph was nearly fallen off the edge of the bridge. When Angel had said, the Shredder had returned, he had expected someone alive - somehow.

However, the mentioning of his old Sensei set his blood on fire. He had never really gotten over the loss of him. Never. With an angered cry, he grabbed for his Sais and Lunged at Shredder's ghost...

[The Stryker]

Raph just flys through Shredder and tackles Stryker. "Hey man i don't swing that way!"

Stryker kicks Raph off and then begins to fly up with his jet boots as Shredder stares at raph for about half a second before following Stryker. "A word of Advice Baldy..stay out of our way...for your own good..."

"Nice to see you again old friend...."

The Stryker-Bots then change direction and fly towards Raph yelling "Attack"

[hazlov2004]

amy then starts helping raph and angel with the robots (im back heh)

[cowabunga14]

"The Killer Scropions have been committing crimes from bank robberies to purse snatchings. The police have not always been able to catch the gang when they go above the law. The victims of these crimes feel like the police don't care anymore. They feel as if the Killer Scropions want the police to forget about them. Its almost as if the police are working for the Killer Scropions. The crime wave has been increased due to the absent-mindness of the police. There's only one to turn to keep these crimes from happening. Where are those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? They kept the crimes to a minimum. Have they stopped fighting crime? What's going on with them? If they're watching this right now, then they should really solve the crimes where people can see them in action. This is Bill Edwards signing off for Channel 3 News. Good night."

Casey turned off the television and said "This sounds serious, Mike. The city needs you and your bros to get out and fight crimes. I'm always there to help."

"I know it sounds serious. My bros haven't been around much. I wonder what's goin' on with 'em. Are they fightin' crimes where no one can see 'em? I don't wanna be seen in action unless I have a disguise. People might be freaked out if they saw what we look like. I know you that you'll help us, Casey. I haven't really been involved in any major crimes lately. Petty crimes happen every once in a while when I'm around. I guess that isn't the same for my brothers. That'd be intrestin' to find out if they're fightin' major crimes."

"Well, what do you wanna do?," asked Casey. Should we stay in here till somethin' somes up?"

"Yeah, we could do that," responded Mikey. "Its kinda cold out there."

Casey heard someone walk on the fire escape. They stomped loudly. He noticed that he forget to close the window. "I wonder who that could be,"pondered Casey.

"I don't have a clue,"replied Mikey.

The bulky figure looked into the apartment. He face was shadowed by the darkness. Big Bubba walked in in and said "Jones, you'll pay for this." He pointed to the mark of the bo staff on his face. Casey didn't know that he hurt Bubba. "Have you seen a katana?"

Mikey lifted up the katana that Casey put on the bed. "You mean this one?"

"Yes," replied Bubba. "That's it."

"No. You can't have it,"said Casey in a stern voice.

"Excuse me?,"questioned Bubba with a confused look on his face.

"You heard me. Why would you wanna keep the weapon that you killed somebody with? There's blood on the blade. Is that the reason why you came here? I'm gonna tell the police what you did. Did you stab someone?"

"I did. A man was tickin' me off. I had to do somethin'."

"Did that give the right to kill him? Huh? "

"Well, no but he..."

"I'm not lookin' for excuses. I'm gonna call the police right now. You've gotten away with too many crimes. You derseve a puishment. Seein' as I can't beat you up myself, I'll let the police take care of you." Casey dialed the number. "Hello, police? This is Casey Jones. The leader of the Killer Scropions has killed a man. His name is Big Bubba. He's gotten away with other crimes besides that." The police asked for the address and Casey gave it to 'em. He told Mikey to hide. Casey hung up when the police said that they'll be on their way.

"You can't do anything now, Bubba. I don't even think you're smart enough to invent a time machine. Just face the facts. At least I won't have to deal with you anymore."

A police officer knocked on the door and Casey got up. He gave the katana to the police for evidence. One of the officers pulled Bubba out of the apartment. His wrists were too thick for handcuffs, so they tied 'em up with a rope. They put Bubba in the back of the car and drove away.

"Mikey, you can get out now. Bubba's gone."

"Did you have to do that, Casey?," asked Mikey.

"Yeah, it was the only way to get rid of him. That'll stop his crime wave. It'll make it so the Killer Scropions won't have any motivation. Their master will be behind bars. They probably don't have any money to bail him out. We should get some sleep, Mikey. Tomorrow's gonna be a busy day."

"All right,"responded Mikey. Casey found a sleeping bag for Mikey for him to sleep on the floor. Casey slept in his bed. "G'night, Casey."

"G'night,"said Casey as he turned out the light.

[The Stryker]

((Im sorry but Cowabunga, You do know that theres a storyline and plot to this rp that centers around all the characters right?))

[Garou]

(Eh, hazlov, Angel isn't with Raph, she's with Ra...)

Raph was about to charge after Shredder and Stryker, if it hadn't been for two things: 1, he couldn't follow them over the egde of the building and 2, he was being attacked. Raphael focused his mind on the robots coming at him, tensing his muscles and with a sprint, attacked the first one with a kick, making it fall backwards.

He suddenly saw a shadow not far away from him.

"Hey Amy, out for some fun?" he called, thrusting his sai into another robot.

[Ra]

Frowning, Ra could see three figures out in the light, and one in the dark. "I hope Raph can hold of those robots off until we can get there." Ra mummbled to herself. She was growing weaker by the second as the dragon sped on. Until the shadow dragon disappered, it would feed off her energy to stay. But when it disappers, her energy would be back and she and Angel could help the turtle try and fend off the two bad guys

[cowabunga14]

((Im sorry but Cowabunga, You do know that theres a storyline and plot to this rp that centers around all the characters right?))

((What're you gettin' at? I know that the plot centers around all the character, but my characters haven't interacted with 'em yet. I'll interact with 'em in, but you'll have to be patient. I don't see why you worry so much. There's nothin' good about it. I just decided to take my time and choose when my characters will interact with the other characters.))

[hazlov2004]

no im helping you guys amy said after punching a robot

[The Stryker]

"What are you doing?"

"What do ya mean?"

"Those Robots of yours don't have any defensive skills!! They just get hit and fall down and explode!"

"Its called distraction. Maybe if you had learned that word you wouldn't be a floating head right about now."

"GO AND KILL THE TURTLE!!!"

"Fine."

Stryker Pulls a Metal rod out of his pocket and it extends into a metal Bo staff. Water rises around him as he flies back towards Raph, With a Cheap shot he hits Raph on the shell to no effect. "Oh boy"

[Storm Wolf]

Lucas peered at Kylie, his eyes narrow slits upon her facial features. He finished his drink and decided to stop playing.

"All right, Kylie," he said, standing up suddenly. "I'll be honest with you. I saw you earlier tonight, running through the streets, carrying a certain item of orange, and..." Lucas paused. He looked around, making sure that no prying ears were listening.

"...dressed in black fur...

"Now before you speak, I must tell you that your alter-ego does by no means intimidate me, nor does it cause me to cower in fear and awe. I am a changeling, one who can alter their appearance to that of any animal at will. You may know this already, for I saw you in the bank tonight after I transformed back from being a bull.

"But that's not important right now," Lucas said with a wave of his hand. "What is important is that you give me that trinket before it can cause someone some serious harm. I know what type of item it is, and therefore must protect it from being used by the ill-willed, and the unknowledgeable.

"Please, Kylie," Lucas said, almost pleaded as his eyes grew with deep concern. "Please give it to me."

Kylie stared at Lucas for a moment. "I can't.", she finally said "Something about it....I feel....I feel like I have to protect it...or....", Kylie shook her head

"It's mine...what do you want with it anyhow?" She questioned him.

[Garou]

Raph was about to answer Amy, when he suddenly felt the bump on his shell. He looked back at Stryker, with an expression that would have been followed with a chibbie-sweatdrop. Soon, his face turned hard again.

"Ya could atleast put up a fight," he growled, sending the kid to the grown with a clenched fist.

[The Stryker]

"Ow!! Wait a minute man...how bout we call a truce? join me and Shredder? Come on, Me an evil boy genius You a mutant brute. It's perfect!!"

Behind Raph Two spinning pillars of water begin to rise up.

[Garou]

Raph was too centered on Stryler to notice the pillars behind him. The boy's words angered him more than he would have ever admitted.

"JOIN YA?!?!?" he cried at Stryker, "Man, what've ya got up in yer head, mustard?"

[The Stryker]

"Fine...If you won't Join us...then im gonna have to kill you....Freak"

The Two Pillars then rush downwards at Raph defying gravity and hit him in the back, Stryker moves out of the way as the water continues to shoot in a continued stream.

"Once i find the other two Elements...the city is mine..and theres nothing you or any of your friends can do about it...Got me?"

[Ra]

Ra growled, her body leaning forward on the shadow dragon. While Raph and Stryker had been chatting, the mock dragon had gotten close to the bridge. Now she and Angel could hear every word they spoke, despite the howling wind. "Oh yeah? We'll see about that!" She belowed as she jumped from the dragon's back and onto the evil boy genius, sending him sprawling onto the ground and the water orb flying from his hand. Almost instantly, the shadow dragon evaporated and patches of shadow flew from where it was hovering and back to their origonal summoning spots

[The Stryker]

"No...No!!! not again!!"

One of Stryker's robots quickly picks up the orb and flys off. "I don't need water powers to defeat you...."

"You idiot! you need the element!! where did you send it?!"

"Back home, i'd rather fight without it then lose it to a freak and a chick...no matter how...attractive she is.."

[Ra]

Ra's eyes widened, curled her fist and punched Stryker in the face as hard as she could (which, with out her dragon taming training, would've been quite weak in comparasion) "Shaddup and tell me where that orb is!" she growled

[Garou]

Raph was taken by surprise, getting doubled over by the water. The impact from it sended him off the edge of the brigde, and the turtle had to thrust both of his sais into the wall to keep himself from falling off.

"I hate water," he stated with a growl, coughing some up.

*

Angel jumped off the dragon as well, though paying more interest to the robot with the orb than Stryker.

"I can play that game too," she hissed, flying after it. The feline formed something in her hands, which grew bigger by the second and send a fireball at the robot, hitting it on the side.

[The Stryker]

"Sorry....ow..can't give you that information...." Stryker Kicks Ra in the Shin and then Hits her across the head with the Bo staff. "Now...if you're willing to give me something...i might give you that info Know what im sayin?"

"This Isn't the time to be picking up Women Idiot!!!"

"Don't mind the floating head...he won't be a problem.."

The robot gets hit on the side and doesn't explode but just begins to fall, Spiraling violently and then crashing into the Hudson and sinking

[Ra]

Ra payed no attention to the robot as she faced Stryker. "How to you know Shredder?" She demanded. "And what do you mean by 'me willing to give you something'? What the hell do I want to do with you?"

[The Stryker]

"He is my son...as much as i want to deny it..."

"Shut Up!...Maybe you would like to join our Ranks? i don't know if you've noticed but evil is doing pretty damn well right now, Join the winning side girl..."

[Ra]

Ra smiled sweetly and advanced towards Stryker, before spitting at his feet. "Your 'father' up there deserves to be dead and then killed ten times over. It was HIS group, the Foot, that wreaked my whole life! He took my parents for God's sake! I don't care how good evil may be doing right now, but I'll stick to this side of the bridge, even if the padock burns." She hissed

[Garou]

Angel dived after the robot into the cold water. She wasn't glad to admit, that she wasn't the best swimmer, but atleast she could move around. She grabbed onto the orb, pulling it out of the robot's hands and - just starred at it. It was beautiful, she had never seen such an amazing object in her life. Suddenly, the feline realized that she was still under the water, and in lack of air. She hurried up to the surface, gasping for air.

*

Raph pulled himself upwards, looking over at Ra and Stryker.

"Christ, won't that guy ever give up?" he moaned, now standing on his feet and on his way to help Ra - though she usually didn't need help...

[The Stryker]

Stryker's Watch Beeps and he looks over to the River and spots Angel. "Great...Stryker-bots..formation 3478...bring em both" Stryker then Swings his Bo staff at the advancing Raph, trying to block him for atleast a second.

The Entire legion of robots fly towards Angel, some shoot out metal ropes and tie her up. The robots then fly up and lift her and the orb into the air.

"Make her squeal..."

Then the robots start charging electricity through the ropes.

[hazlov2004]

amy who had seen the robots go after angel started punching at the robots

[Ra]

Ra's eyes widened. "ANGEL!" she cried. She would've gotten her kyoketsu shoge and tried to hit one of the robots, but they were to far away. Just then, she became aware of Shredder's ghost behind her. Fuming, she spun around, her lips drawn into a snarl. "You..."

[Garou]

Angel cried, feeling the electricity go through her body. The pain was too strong to let out a counter attack, and she was trapped. Her muscles ached, as she held on tight to the orb.

"Angel, hold on!" Raph cried, instinctivily turning and running to her aid. He thrusted his sai into the air, making it hit the robot in the head.

[The Stryker]

The sai hit the robot on the head and it exploded, A soon as that robot was destroyed another seemed to appear and continue to carry and torture Angel.

"You can't stop it..you're all dead!!" Stryker Tackles Raph over the Barracade.

Shredder looks back at Ra and his eyes begin to glow green. "Hello...Have any more Relatives you want to tell me about?"

[Ra]

Her teeth clenched, Ra spoke. "You know who they were. You sent the oder to finish take my parents. You did the house of personally." Her whole body started shacking in rage, the shoge down by her side trembling. "JUST LIKE I WILL FINISH YOU!" She roared, running at him with the weapon, completly forgeting about Shredder being a ghost. It was as if he was trying to get her to do it

[Garou]

Raphael gasped, as he was being tackled from behind. With a twist, he did his best to get the human off his shell.

"Let go of me, kid!" he belowed, his rage building up.

*

Angel thought she had been saved, until another robot took over, where the other had left. She had to think... maybe the orb could enhance her own powers? She got the hand with the orb free, aiming it at the robot holding her and shot a thick tream of water right at it, knowing the electricity would follow the water.

[hazlov2004]

amy then said dont worry angel free you from those robot she then punched the that was hurting angel

[KROW]

Kylie stared at Lucas for a moment. "I can't.", she finally said "Something about it....I feel....I feel like I have to protect it...or....", Kylie shook her head

"It's mine...what do you want with it anyhow?" She questioned him.
Before Lucas could answer, he glanced up at the overhead television in the corner of one of the tavern walls. He saw, with great surprise, Stryker and that ghost clashing against a few of the creatures he encountered in the bank earlier, as well as a humanoid turtle.

They all seemed to be fighting over a bright blue orb...

Another one? Lucas thought, This is getting way too complicated.

He looked back at Kylie and said, "There's no time for that, Kylie. Come with me. We're going downtown... to get another orb."

[The Stryker]

Shredder flys right through Ra's Head and reads every single bit of information in her mind all in a millisecond, He then turns and faces Ra. "I know your grief young one..and think of it...the elements combined are the powers of a god...With that power i can give you anything you want..."

Stryker Punches Raph in the back of the head and laughs. He is pushed off of raph and almost falls off of the bridge, He holds on by the end of Raph's Bandana. "Crap...Sh*t....Excrement...either you fall with me or i split your head in two...Damn freak.."

The robot finally stops shocking angel but the metal husk quickly falls, Dragging Angel with it.

[Garou]

Raph's head was being jerked backwards by the weight of the human. He had to think fast. True, either he'd follow him off the brigde, or he'd atleast break the neck.

The turtle grabbed for his sai, sticking it up between his head and the bandana, getting the red cloth off his head.

*

Angel's body finally relaxed, when the electricity had stopped running through her. She almost couldn't move, and it was only her stubborness keeping her from dropping the orb. She could feel the wind, as she was dragged downwards, but she was too exhausted to struggle.

[cowabunga14]

The alarm clock woke Casey up at nine. He turned it off for Mikey to continue sleepin'. Casey changed into pants and a tanktop and decided to make breakfast. He got the eggs and the waffles from the fridge. He turned on the stove and cracked the eggs on a pan. Casey cooked the eggs till they were scrambled. He put the waffles the pairs of waffles in the toaster one at a time. He put 'em on the plate and put butter on his waffles. "Mikey, you should get up! Breakfast is ready,"Casey exclamied as he poured syrup on his waffles.

Mikey got up and sat down. He put butter and syrup on his waffles. "Casey, is Bubba gonna have a trial? Do you know what's goin' on with that?,"asked Mikey in a gruff voice.

"Well, I don't really know. I know that he doesn't have a lawyer. My lawyer has been busy with other cases for the most part. He probably have the money for me to sue him anyways."

Casey finished his breakfast before Mikey and got his gear. He was ready to fight crime. "Hurry up, Mikey. This Jack Stryker fellow might be responisble for some of these crimes,"said Casey as he put on his hockey mask.

Mikey finished his breakfast and got his nunchakus. The two jumped from rooftop to rooftop tryin' to find Stryker's hideout. The two stumbled across somethin' unusual. They walked into it and waited till somebody spoke.

[The Stryker]

Stryker falls to the water, He thinks for a second and clicks on his jetboots, He shoots back up and manages to catch Raph with a rocket propelled Uppercut. "I understand why Shredder hates your kind so much!"

The Robot and Angel finally hit the water and the robot continues to drift down pulling Angel as well, Under the water there is a drifting block of ice containing two frozen figures.

[Garou]

Raph growled, touching his soaring chin. With the anger burning violently in his eyes, he set out to hit Stryker in the abdomen.

"And I start to remember, why I don't like kids!!"

[Ra]

Shredder flys right through Ra's Head and reads every single bit of information in her mind all in a millisecond, He then turns and faces Ra. "I know your grief young one..and think of it...the elements combined are the powers of a god...With that power i can give you anything you want..."

Ra's breathing was labored from Shredder messing about in her mind. Yet she held firm. "You are an idiot. I already HAVE everything I want. Except for a life with out you..." A thought hit her. If she remembered correctly, there was a wind orb. With that wind orb, she could use it on Shredder, who should be blown away by the force of the wind. It had to work. She just needed to get out the infomation from Shredder where that orb was. That is, if he knew where it was. "So, Shred-head, why the hell do you want the orbs anyway?" Ra asked casually, her hand moving ever-so slowly down to her belt with a smoke-bomb on it. "I mean, you're son will gain all the glory, use the orbs and then use them on you. What's the point in that?"

[The Stryker]

"My son is an idiot....but i'll admit he has quite an arsenal at his disposal...im going to use him to find the orbs...but im not going to just use the orbs to destroy my enemies...no, With the orbs combined i can summon a god...one with unimaginable power..."

Stryker continues to fight with Raph as Shredder continues.

"Me and The Rat were the only ones that know the proper means of bringing about the god...The one who summons the god shall wield the power...im offering you a way in...you can survive the onslaught that the power will bring about if you just join us now..."

[Ra]

Ra thought. God? What god? Egyptain, Greek, Underworldian? And what did Splinter have to do about this? This was starting to get to much for one day. She glared at Shredder. "Why do you want me to join you?" her voice was steady but laced with confusion. "You hate my guts!"

[The Stryker]

Shredder begins to laugh evily he then flies upwards and disappears.

Stryker manages to smack Raph on the head with the Bo staff, He looks over at Ra and throws a small tracer on her back. "Listen turtle its been hip but i have a previous engagement...and i don't wanna touch you anymore...ew.."

Underwater, Something walks on the ocean floor and catches Angel, He takes the water orb and unties her, He then lets her float back up to the surface.

[Ra]

Ra frowned at Shredder as he floted upwards. 'Like father, like son I suppose.' she thought to herself. Growling, she took out her shoge and used it's chain end like a whip right next to Stryker's ear. "Shaddup and talk - where are the other orbs?" she roared

[The Stryker]

"Um...you know i don't really know that exact piece of information...Shredder tells me and we just kind of go...ya know?"

Stryker Smiles all embarrassed like

[Garou]

Raph grumbled loudly at Stryker, preparing to whack him on the head, when the chain came flying at the boy. Raph slowly got up - that bo would leave a mark...

But where was Angel? The masked turtle spun around, running to the edge of the bridge, when he saw a figure in the water. Quickly, he tied the grappling hook to a metal bar and jumped, reaching the water as quickly as he could and grabbed the feline...

[Ra]

Ra saw Raph climbing down, so she knew that she would have to keep Stryker busy. "What kind of a father would use you like that?" She whispered. "I mean, once you have all the orbs, no one can boss ya around. You can just do what you want. And if that idiot father of yours tries to stand in your way, you could just use the power he wanted against him. You'll have no one to stand in your way."

[The Stryker]

"You know what? i've thought of that...but he needs me as much as i need him, He needs me to collect the orbs and control the god...i need him to summon the god...and since i can't destroy a ghost...i figure why ruin a good thing?"

Stryker smiles he walks close to Ra and Kisses her. "When the worlds mine...i'll make sure you suffer...." A smoke bomb goes off and Stryker flies up quickly laughing.

[Ra]

Ra stood there, her mouth hanging open with shock, staring into the sky. Did that spineless thing did what she thought she did?!? If so, he would regreat it. Her stare soon turned to a glare at the boy's words. "Not as much as you're gonna suffer..." she growled. Frowning, she ran over to Raph who was almost near the water. "Hey, Raph? Need a hand?"

[The Stryker]

Stryker flies for a couple of seconds and lands on the edge of a pier, two homeless men are fishing as he lands behind them. "Hows it going? caught any godzillas?"

Shredder appears behind Stryker. "IDIOT!!! you let the Water element get away!!"

"Hey hey no i didn't...i just took a bit of precaution" Stryker snaps his fingers and a huge 7 foot tall muscular man comes out of the water and steps onto the pier, The homeless men staring in amazement. "Shredder, Xendrak Kaine, Xendrak, Shredder"

Xendrak Gives Stryker the Orb and stares at him intensely. "I'll be expecting my money by sundown."

"Hey man...don't worry..you'll have your money...but i would advise to wear a rain coat later on...Meet me in the square..i'll be waiting."

Xendrak nods and gives Stryker a "You'd better be there or i'll kill you" look and then drops back into the ocean.

"So...where are we going now?"

"We wait...the orbs have decided to conceal themselves for now.."

"Oh i get it...time for character development..."

"Ugh...."

[Garou]

Raph pulled Angel up by the wings with a grunt and got a better hold on her afterwards.

"We could use a pull upwards," he called back to Ra. It was amazing how heavy wet fur was... Angel coughed a bit looking up at the turtle, still weakened.

"Sorry," she shivered, "I - I lost it..."

Raph blinked. He had forgotten the orb for a second. He slowly started to pull himself up the rope.

"Don't worry," he smiled, "We'll get it back."

[Ra]

Gritting her teeth, Ra pulled hard on the rope, draging Raph and Angel upwards. Time to think serious here. If I were an orb, where would I hide.... She gasped as Raph and Angel hit the bridge, Angel coughing less now. Her mind focused on one thing as she pulled the two up. "I think I know where an orb is...the Statue of Liberty."

[The Stryker]

Police sirens fill the air and Police cars drive onto the bridge late of course, They surround the Gang and Officers aim their guns at Ra and The Rising Raph and Angel
"Get on the Ground!!"

[Garou]

Raph pulled himself up to a sitting poition on the edge of the bridge, looking up at Ra.

"Why there?" he asked, not really sure about the connection. As the turtle was about to stand up, the police cars came at them.

"Juuuuust great," he growled, getting up, "Let's get out of here..."

[hazlov2004]

amy then said yeah lets get out of here then going to angel she said you ok?

[Ra]

Ra groaned. "I'll explain later. Right now, we've gotta get outta here!" Sighing, she looked down. Looks like the old shadow dragon will have to come into play again. Again she summoned it and buckled at the knees as her energy fed the looming black shape. "Get on. Just do it." She moaned

[Garou]

As Ra sank to her knees, Raph hesitated for a few seconds. He slowly nodded, getting up on the large creature. If things continued like this, they would lose the battle...

[Ra]

Gasping, Ra crawled onto the shadow's back. Two summonings in one night really didn't sit well with her, but if it ment saving the rock she swore to protect, it better be worth it.

[The Stryker]

The Officers having just seen a damn dragon reacted in the way New york cops do.

The Officers begin shooting at the Dragon as more news choppers fly over the scene.

________________________________

[The Stryker]

((Dude, Seriously stop it. You've been spamming all over the place. Stop It))

[Ra]

((Yeah. We've had this issue before. If you want to Role Play, please read the rules first stickied to this thread. I don't know how many times I've said that, but it will show you how RPGs work here))

Ra swore silently. "Great. Just great. More cops." Her eyes then adjusted to the floodlights that would've blinded her if she weren't looking down. A voice spoke into the chopper's speaker

"This is the New York Police. Drop your weapons now, and get off that dragon!" The man's voice boomed, feeling some-what proud. It wasn't everyday that a human cop like himself would order a flying shadow dragon onto the ground.

[Storm Wolf]

((*cough* interruptions))

Before Lucas could answer, he glanced up at the overhead television in the corner of one of the tavern walls. He saw, with great surprise, Stryker and that ghost clashing against a few of the creatures he encountered in the bank earlier, as well as a humanoid turtle.

They all seemed to be fighting over a bright blue orb...

Another one? Lucas thought, This is getting way too complicated.

He looked back at Kylie and said, "There's no time for that, Kylie. Come with me. We're going downtown... to get another orb."

Kylie's eyes sparkled "Another orb?" She smiled "This is great."

She glanced at the T.V. "...but...theres no way a big black wolf will go unnoticed...." She sighed heavily I'll just have to figure something out when I get there.

Kylie downed her drink and made for the door. "Well, come on....we're wasting time!" she dashed out the door and onto the streets.

Now the fun begins she thought

[hazlov2004]

amy got up on the creature she was glad the fight was over but looked at her hands that where hurting

[Garou]

Raph ducked his head to avoid the incoming bullets and then looked to Ra.

"Don't this thing have some artillery?" he called, moving his head just in time to avoid another attack from the cops.

Angel looked down. She still couldn't get the mind off the orb...

[KROW]

Kylie's eyes sparkled "Another orb?" She smiled "This is great."

She glanced at the T.V. "...but...theres no way a big black wolf will go unnoticed...." She sighed heavily I'll just have to figure something out when I get there.

Kylie downed her drink and made for the door. "Well, come on....we're wasting time!" she dashed out the door and onto the streets.

Now the fun begins she thought
"Great," Lucas uttered, and followed Kylie out the door. He grabbed her hand and turned into an alley.

"You might be afraid of being noticed as a big black wolf, but perhaps I can alleviate that problem."

Without warning, Lucas transformed once again, this time sprouting great leathery wings. His body stretched, covered in scales. His face contorted, his nose elongating into a lizard-like beak.

When the alteration was done, Kylie stood before a great green dragon. It wagged its neck and snorted, then said in a grating voice, "Hop on, Kylie. We've got an orb to capture."

[Ra]

Ra growled. "Hang on!" She cried. The dragon wasn't real, just a combanation of shadows. It won't feel a thing if a bullet penitrates it's fleash. Unfortunatly, that would mean that it would hit somebody else on it's back. Soon the shadow dragon was twisting and turning, avoiding and dodging whatever bullets came it's way. The chopper with the officers in it gasped, for the dragon was coming right for them

"What is this place, Casey?,"asked Mikey.

"I dunno. Is this Stryker's hideout? Where is he? Come out, Jack!"

"Hey, what's this over here?,"asked Mikey as he walked into a lighted area.

"I think that's a Stryker Bot," responded Casey. "Somethin' you don't see every day."

Mikey noticed that the particualr Stryker Bot was turned off. He touched it. "This guy feels hot. I wonder if he overheated?"

"Who cares if he's overheated? I just wanna find Raph or whoever. Speakin' of which, where the heck is Stryker? I wanna know what's goin' on. This is a bunch of baloney."

"I don't think Raph or Stryker or anyone is around. What should we do, Casey?"

"Well, that sucks. I suggest we move on and see if we can anyone. Let's go, Mikey." Casey and Mike walked outside. They saw the police shootin' a dragon.

"Hey, what's goin' on out here?!,"questioned Casey. "Looks pretty crazy! I think we should stay out here! That way we won't be alone!"

The two hid in a crevice. They hid until it was safe to come out.

[The Stryker]

Stryker walks down the street humming to himself and watching as more police cruisers drove by. "Looks like we're winning here...the do-gooders are all tied up and we have access to the next orb without any problems."

"Don't get so cocky...once we get the Earth Orb then We'll be able to defeat those avengers quickly and retrieve the fire and wind orb..."

"And then what?"

"The World is ours...."

Stryker smiles and climbs up a fire escape, He gets to the roof, Shredder looks around searching for any kind of energy reading.

"Ah...found it...."

"But what if they go after it as well?"

"No...Ra is too concerned with the Wind Orb...she'll be going after that in the statue of liberty...but the Earth orb will make the wind useless..."

"Alright sounds like a plan...Up up and away!!"

Stryker flies towards the top of the Empire State Building.

[Garou]

Raph clunged on tighter to the dragon, not having any intentions of falling off.

"Ya sure, ya know what'ya doing?" he asked Ra, seeing the chopper straight ahead of them...

[Ra]

Once again, despite the situation, Ra grinned like a maniac. "Have you ever heard of the one with the dragon and the chopper?" She asked. At that moment, the shadow dragon unleased a ball of blackness onto the helichopter. The blast damaged the tail and went twirling down to the road below. Ra couldn't resist but call out - "What's wrong guys? Afraid of the dark?" before chuckling and sending the dragon out to sea

[Garou]

"Nice shot," Raph commented lightly, "So, off to find the next orb..."

[Ra]

Ra sighed and explained what she knew. "Shredder went though me. He saw my life, I know it. It all flashed before me. What I know, who I know, and where things are. In return, I managed to see something he knew also - the location of the wind orb. It hard to explain, but I just know it's there." She suddered suddenly. The two shadow dragon summonings had greatly weakened her

[Storm Wolf]

"Great," Lucas uttered, and followed Kylie out the door. He grabbed her hand and turned into an alley.

"You might be afraid of being noticed as a big black wolf, but perhaps I can alleviate that problem."

Without warning, Lucas transformed once again, this time sprouting great leathery wings. His body stretched, covered in scales. His face contorted, his nose elongating into a lizard-like beak.

When the alteration was done, Kylie stood before a great green dragon. It wagged its neck and snorted, then said in a grating voice, "Hop on, Kylie. We've got an orb to capture."

"Oh...like no one's going to notice a dragon flaying around the city." Kylie rolled her eyes, but mounted the dragon.

"I'm...obviously not a flying creature so take it easy...", Kylie had never actually flown before, nor had she ever had the taste to try it.....but for an orb....

[Garou]

"Aright," Raph grinned, "Then let's go find it."

Angel had pushed herself up to a sitting position, finding it rarther amusing to fly on a dragon.

((Does anybody know how to delete a post????))

[Ra]

((We need a mod for that O_O))

Ra's eyes narrowed as the shadow dragon banked. Her breath was becoming more labored by the second, but she hid it by gritting her teeth. Suddenly, the solid form underneath her vanished into whisps of smoke, sailing back to their somoning points. Crying out in anguish, the girl turned in the air to call out to Angel and Raph in vain. All three of them were slowly falling towards the ocean below

[KROW]

"Oh...like no one's going to notice a dragon flaying around the city." Kylie rolled her eyes, but mounted the dragon.

"I'm...obviously not a flying creature so take it easy...", Kylie had never actually flown before, nor had she ever had the taste to try it.....but for an orb....
Lucas soars high into the night sky.

"Hang on tight," he growls at Kylie. "It's going to get a bit harsh up here."

Lucas increases his speed and searches for the location of the battle happening on the city streets. Before too long, he finds that the battle has ended, but notices the one stray robot drone flying ahead holding the water orb.

There we go, Lucas thought with a grin. Cake.

Lucas takes the fire orb in one of his talons and focuses his unholy energy. A few moments later the orb shoots a beam of high intense heat at the Strykerbot, causing it to explode and the water orb to plummet.

With a tense of his wings, Lucas dives down and catches it with his free talon.

Two down. Now to get the others and that scroll.

[Garou]

Raph suddenly noticed how nervous Ra had turned, as the girl looked back towards them. It made him look down, seeing the dragon slowly dissapear beneath them.

Angel looked down too, trying to think of a way to get out of the mess. She looked over to Raph.

"Think you can make a dive for it?" she asked, and the turtle caught the idea. But they were pretty high above the surface...

Angel looked over to Ra.

"Try to get the rest of the dragon lower."

[The Stryker]

Stryker walks into the Empire state building, He pushes people out of the way and strolls into an elevator. when the doors close, Shredder appears next to him.

"The earth orb is somewhere at the top...the others are on their way to the wind orb though."

"I figured...and we got a problem."

"What"

"The Strykerbot carrying the water orb was destroyed..but luckily i got a track on it..so once we have the earth orb...we can kill however has it."

"Right.."

Stryker gets to the top and walks out, he looks around.

"Hey..i don't see it.."

"Its in the light at the top"

"D'oh..."

[Ra]

Ra nodded at Angel's suggestion and closed her aching eyes as she concentrated. The remaining dragon lowered itself down until it was afew feet from the water then completly disappered. As the three fell, Ra could feel her energy returning even as she hit the water. Too bad she couldn't really swim. Gasping for air, Ra did a kind of dog-paddle to Angel and Raph and let herself float on her back so she wouldn't drown. That's when she realized it. "Well, at least we don't have to swim far." She comented lightly, pointing with a limp hand to the Statue in all of her glory.

[Garou]

Angel folded out her wings and flapped, just before she plumbed into the cold water. Her feet and knees hit the surface, making her chill a bit - she had had enough of water for today. Hovering over the water, she looked down at Raph and Ra.

Raph hit the water with a loud SPLASH! and quickly searched up to get air. He looked to Ra, noticing her dog-padling.

"That's a relief," Angel replied, looking over at the big statue...

[Kali]

((I assume you did want that first, shorter post deleted. For everyone's reference, the best way to get a double/accidental post deleted is to edit the post to say "Delete me." :) ))

[Storm Wolf]

Lucas soars high into the night sky.

"Hang on tight," he growls at Kylie. "It's going to get a bit harsh up here."

Lucas increases his speed and searches for the location of the battle happening on the city streets. Before too long, he finds that the battle has ended, but notices the one stray robot drone flying ahead holding the water orb.

Lucas takes the fire orb in one of his talons and focuses his unholy energy. A few moments later the orb shoots a beam of high intense heat at the Strykerbot, causing it to explode and the water orb to plummet.

With a tense of his wings, Lucas dives down and catches it with his free talon.

Two down. Now to get the others and that scroll.

Kylie clung tightly to the mighty Dragon "Good...you got the orb....can we land now?", A blast of air caused a bit of turbulance and she dug her fingers into Lucas " I hate flying!", she growled softly "Wolves weren't ment for the sky...".

[KROW]

Kylie clung tightly to the mighty Dragon "Good...you got the orb....can we land now?", A blast of air caused a bit of turbulance and she dug her fingers into Lucas " I hate flying!", she growled softly "Wolves weren't ment for the sky...".
Lucas winced fiercely as he felt Kylie's womanly talons dig into his scales.

"OW!" Lucas growled. "Easy, easy! Hang on, I'll bring us down a bit."

The shapeshifter lowered to a less windy area. Here, they would be able to talk better and perhaps he wouldn't have to suffer any puncture wounds.

"Okay. We've got two out of four orbs. Whatever evil this ghost is planning is seriously hindering my mission. Thankfully, my demonic powers have homed in on the whereabouts of the orb that holds the power of the earth element. We could chase after the one made of wind, but I figure our 'friends' have that covered. This would save us a diversion and bring us right to the source.

"Alright! Brace yourself, Kylie! We're going to be hitting some high speeds!"

Lucas straightened his wings back and stretched his dragon body to form that of a gigantic flying needle with scales.

[Ra]

Ra spat out a mouthful of water as she tried to swim for shore. "I think we'd better take some thought into some swimming lessons..." She spluttered as a wave of water washed over her

[KROW]

((Hey, remember this? How about we continue it, eh? Please?))

[Storm Wolf]

"Alright! Brace yourself, Kylie! We're going to be hitting some high speeds!"

Lucas straightened his wings back and stretched his dragon body to form that of a gigantic flying needle with scales.

Kylie agreed. "Wha? Wait...high speeeeeeddddsss!!!", Her breath was taken by the rush of air and she had no choice but to cling to the mighty dragon and pray for a safe flight.

[Garou]

"What'ya mean 'we'?" Raphael smirked, looking to Ra, "Ya sure ya don't need a hand?"
