TMNT RPG - Chapter 5

[Kali]

((I've decided to create a new chapter because quite a few things have changed, and it's about time I did it anyway.
The whole group, plus Oni, is in an alley by the docks. Frost and Blane plus Bebop and Rocksteady are heading towards them. Randi and Fishro have disappeared, as has Amaya. Whether they stay gone is up to their players.))

From chapter four:
Leo quickly exited the warehouse the way he'd come in.
Don took advantage on the confusion to get out of there with Casey. He met up with Leo outside and they ran back to the group waiting in the alley.
"Where's Randi?" Leo asked.
Don dropped Casey on the ground and looked back to the warehouse. "I don't know. I think she got away, but I didn't see which way she went."
"We should go find her," Leo said. "Make sure they didn't get her."
"We've got other problems," Oni said, jogging back from the other end of the alley. "Those Foot mutants we fought earlier are headed this way."
"What about-?" Leo looked towards their prisoner to find him gone. "He escaped. Damn."

[Dr. Terminus]

((ok heres my first appearence))

*jumps off a roof of a house in the near by alley landing next to the turtles*

"wh..who we are of the same king"

[Dr. Terminus]

((i meant to put kind))

[azure turtle]

(( OOC: Excellent notion, Kali! Chapter 4 was getting a bit confusing. ))

(Responding to Blane's comments in chapter 4)

Frost shrugged. "Perhaps you are right, Blane. Maybe I am just anxious about our upcoming confrontation."

[Kali]

((BTW, Leo101, you can edit you posts to correct typos without extra posts to correct yourself.))

Leo drew his sword out of reflex. He could sense Raphael drawing his weapons as well. He looked over the new arrival and asked, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Just last week Leo believed he and his brothers were the only mutant turtles in the world, and now they were bumping into them practically everywhere. Some, like Oni, were friendly, but others weren't, and Leo didn't want to risk anything.

[HorseTechie]

OOC:
*comes back in and hopes she can reclaim Don* Yeah.. good idea to say that Randi and Fishro got away.

Oh, I guess I can RP as Raph here too... unless someone else wants to play him (not to be a hog or anything).

[Dr. Terminus]

My name is vango and im trying to find a place to hide im not wanted,but you you are also a...a turtle

[Kali]

((OOC: Go ahead and take Don, HT, and Raph if you want.))

Leonardo lowered his swords. "Yes," he replied slowly. He wasn't sure what to make of this new Turtle. "If you want to chat, you're going to have to follow us. There're four other mutants around the corner trying to kill us." He looked back at the others. "Come on, we gotta go."

He looked out the alley entrance and saw no one. He gestured for the others to follow him out of the alley and down the street.

[HorseTechie]

((FYI: Mike is open for grabs in this RP. He'll be a NPC for now. ))

Raph still kept a wary eye on this nerw person as they took off intot he alley. "He's not one of them from the warehouse, is he?" Raph asked DOn.

Don shook his head. "He's not wearing military gear,"

[Dr. Terminus]

*starts following them cautiously*

[HorseTechie]

"What do you want with us?" Raph stopped and confronted the new mutant.

[Dr. Terminus]

"i understand your insecruity,but i just found you im lost im alone please alow me to help you"

[Kali]

Leo shot a look towards Raphael, then looked to Vango. "You can come with us, just stay out of trouble."

[Dr. Terminus]

thank you

[enigma-1]

E: *glides on, her mind going between the mutants she just met and the job at hand*

[HorseTechie]

Raph ignored Leo, as more questions came up in his mind. "What do you wanna help us with? Our problems finally just left," he asked Vango.

Don just sighed, looking to the others.

[Dr. Terminus]

your problems have jus arrived

[HorseTechie]

Raph looks at him, then looks all around real quick. "Where? Or are you talking about more of those invisible shadow types?"

[azure turtle]

Frost paused, and put his hand up in the air. The other three mutants stopped in their tracks. "Listen..." Frost whispered. "I hear voices nearby."

[Dr. Terminus]

yeah and what do these people want witrh you

[Kali]

Leonardo ducked into another shadowed alley. "Well, the ones following us work for a guy who we've been fighting for years. They want us dead, end of story. Another group, well, we were just in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Oni looked around. "There's a manhole over there, maybe we can lose them in the sewers."

Leo nodded. "But they're close, someone'll have to stall them."

Oni smiled. "Leave that to me, I'm not the one they're after."

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane stopped and listened hard.

"So now whatta we do?"

[azure turtle]

Frost stared in the direction that the hushed voices were coming from. "Prepare yourselves for combat, but remember, do not attack any innocents," he whispered. Frost quickly hid within the shadows, waiting to see who the voices belonged to.

[enigma-1]

E: *still scanning and gliding around looking for the missing piece, picks up the same mutants from earlier* Hmm. Guess these guys get around faster than I thought.

*decides to see what they're up to and veers off in their direction*

[Kali]

Before anyone could stop her, Oni was headed down to the other end of the alley.

Leo glanced at her with worry before bending down to open the manhole cover. "Alright, everyone in."

Oni listened. There were at least three she could hear, but guessed there were more hiding their presence. She looked one last time over her shoulder at the others, managing to catch Raphael's gaze, then moved to confront their stalkers.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger watched from the darkness as the female turtle turned from the rest and headed in the oppisite direction. She stood for a moment wondering who to follow, then she shapeshifted into a large black panther, she knew that she might regret the transformation later,but she seriously needed the exercise, and so she followed the female...Oni...was that what they had called her? Tiger trailed Oni, making her presence as little known as possible, and hoping they would meet some bad guys soon so she could strut her stuff, gain there trust, and maybe make some new allies who were just like her......well sorda...

[enigma-1]

E: *scans again, this time picking up some new forms* Hmm. Guess this must a mutant gathering or something.

[HorseTechie]

"I ain't leabving her alone," Raph bluntly told Leo before going off itn he direction that Oni went. But he froze before he completely reached her, catching site of some large and black in the shadow of the alley. He drew his sai, keeping 'soft eyes' on both situations.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger was keeping her attention on oni and nothing else, Then suddenly the wind blew a scent to her and she cautiously turned to see the red masked turtle looking in her direction. as she turned to pursue Oni the light hit her eyes and she quickly shut them and scurried deeper in to the shadows "Damnit....." she cused her self silently he had to know she was there now, how could he miss her green luminescent eyes?

[azure turtle]

Frost heard several scurrying noises and a few hushed voices. The odds might be stacked against them... Frost gritted his teeth and signaled to the others to remain in their positions and keep silent. Whatever...or whoever was out there was going to walk right into their little trap...

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane came to stand a little way behind Frost.

"What's the plan?" He Whispered. "Do we rush them or wait for them to come to us?"

[Kali]

Leo cursed silently and ordered everyone into the sewer. There was no way he could let either Oni and/or Raph go up against an enemy by themselves.

Oni looked over at her shoulder at the noises. She spotted Raph only because she half-expected him to be there. There was also movement in the shadows, in a different direction from the ones following them.

The sound of a hushed voice alerted her to the position of the ones following them. They'd gotten closer than she expected. As she stepped around the corner to meet them she could only hope the others had gotten away.

[HorseTechie]

Raph flared his nostrils, trying to make sense of everything. He caught site of the green eyes in the alley, and for some reason felt more at ease. It ws prolly an alley cat.

But Oni looked hesitant as she waited and listened, and that concerned him. Something was up and he didn't like it. Like the calm before the storm, it made him itch with anticipation. He stood aside Oni, and then whispered "Feh... why wait for the inevitable?"

He leapt around the corner and attacked the two on the other side. :evilgrin:

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger watched as the turtle jumped around the corner and began the battle, she was thinking of leaving when suddenly she saw an enemy creep up behind him. Tiger paused for a second this was her chance to shine, She filled her lungs and let out a roar that shook the ground beneath her, then she sprang from the shadows and tackeled the man and before he could react she laid her claws into his cheek. He screamed and scrambled away form her. Tiger was so busy thinking of how nicely her claws had sliced through the enemys flesh, that she backed right into the male turtle....

[enigma-1]

E: *lands out of sight overhead, watching those below*

[azure turtle]

(( OOC: I'm glad to see that you're here, Nun! I thought Blane was going to stand idle during this battle ;) ))

"The plan is to..." Frost began whispering his response to Blane, when Raphael suddenly jumped out from behind the corner.

"ATTACK!" Frost yelled.

He quickly deflected Raphael's attack then stepped back as Rocksteady and Bebop opened fire on him and his new cat ally.

[Kali]

"Well, at least we took them by surprise," Oni commented to herself as she moved in. She vaulted and knocked over Bebop, his laser skidding across the concrete.

"Ooh, youse gonna pay for dat!"

Oni leapt off his chest and held her weapon in front of her. "Bring it on, pig breath." Bebop lunged for her and she dodged, but he caught her by the bandanna. "I knew I should have gone for a shorter style."

[enigma-1]

E; *watches, part of her wondering whether she should join in this battle or just go on her way*

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger saw Bebop catch Oni by the bandanna and raced into action. She sprang onto Bebops back and rolled him onto the ground, she hopped onto his chest and and pulled her paw back preparing to lash him when he pulled out a tiny swiss army knife and stabbed her in the shoulder with it. Tiger reared in pain but came down on Bebop slahing his ches open a little. She rolled off him, the knife still embedded in her shoulder and watched scoot away from her in fear. Her shoulder throbbed and she was loosing blood quickly despite the little wound, but she stood ready to help the others

[SeaThreePeeO]

((Oopsy Missed the start of the battle :oops: ))

Blane was taken completely by surprise, his body froze the fist few seconds as Oni, Raph and the cat creature attacked.

He quickly gathered his thoughs, he knew that none of these were the turlte he and Frost were looking for. He recognised the one in red as the guy who had wrestled the gun out of his grasp in the 'earlier' battle and hadn't the female turtle enquired about Ayna?

The cat was another problem, but it seem preocupied by Bebop.

Blane finally decided the best course of action would be to tackle the one in red with Frost. He moved closer, searching for an opening or a moment when he could 'uneven' the odds.

[HorseTechie]

(( heh..I start the fight and it takes off without me ))

Raph held off a minute to realize it was those two turtles and Shredder's buffons again. "oh, this is a sign something must be up," he commented to Oni, after knocking Rocksteady out of his way.

[Kali]

"We'll ask questions later," Oni replied, as she rolled back onto her feet. She glanced at their new ally and focused her attention back to their enemies. Ironically, one of the reasons she'd left home was to get away from people trying to kill her. People like that were everywhere, she supposed.

Leo waited in the shadows for his time to strike. Raphael was right about one thing, something was definitely up. Shredder had sent these four out to find them, not something he usually did. Shredder did nothing without a reason, and he had to find out what that reason was.

[enigma-1]

E: *watches a moment longer before internal scanner's pick up Leo's biosigns* Hmm. Well, well. Sneaky, aren't you? Well, Doc always says better to help someone you know than let them get hurt by a stranger.

*lifts forefoot, aiming into the shadows where Leo is hidden, a brief flicker of light reflecting off the metal casing of her leg*

[azure turtle]

(( OOC: Darn! I'm having major writer's block... :oops: ))

Frost saw Rocksteady and Bebop get disarmed, so he quickly stepped back into the battle. Rocksteady seemed to be struggling with Raphael, and Bebop and Blane seemed to be ready to collide with Oni and Tiger. Frost quickly decided give Rocksteady a helping hand, so he deflected one of Raphael's attacks with his spear.

"Rocksteady, pick up your laser gun! Hurry up...you and Bebop are practically useless without them!" Frost glared at Raphael as Rocksteady began to search for his lost gun.

Frost took a defensive stance. He would try and keep Raphael at bay with his spear. "Your move..."

[Storm Wolf]

((OOC: its ok im having a major writting block as well))

Tiger saw Bebop go for his gun and she dived in and grabbed it. She put her paw to it and it began to glow red untill eventually it melted beyond recognition. She glared at Bebop and growled and he backed down quickly, then suddenly she began seeing two of everything from the major loss of blood.

not wanting anyone to notice she was weak she charged the blue turtle knowing he was the leader, but she tripped on one of the guns and crashed into the back of his legs

[HorseTechie]

(( :lol: I don't even come around to post when I'm having one! ))

"Rocksteady, pick up your laser gun! Hurry up...you and Bebop are practically useless without them!" Frost glared at Raphael as Rocksteady began to search for his lost gun.

Frost took a defensive stance. He would try and keep Raphael at bay with his spear. "Your move..."

"Hah, those two are useless no matter *what* they have," Raph commented his opinion about B and R while circling Azure.

"But what happened to you? Did Shredder get his mutagen mixed up with some kinda blue dye?" Raph taunted him. He then faked a couple moves, before lunging his sai at Azure's spear with the intent to disarm the strange blue turtle.

[Kali]

((*snicker* Psst, HT, it's Frost. not Azure.))

Rocksteady bumped into something as he searched for his gun. "Ow." He looked up at Oni, aiming the laser gun straight down at him.

"Looking for something?" she smirked. The rhino mutant jumped at her and she ducked down and fired at him. He flew backwards into a dumpster. "Good thing it was on stun."

Leo smiled as Bebop and Rocksteady were pretty much taken out of the game. Maybe he wouldn't have to get involved after all. Then he caught a flicker out of the corner of his eye. He somersaulted out of the way and turned back in the direction of the reflection, looking for whatever might have caused it.

[azure turtle]

(( OOC: LOL!! Looks like HT's confusing me with Frost yet again. :P ))

Frost glared at Raphael after hearing his taunts. Before he could react, he was caught off guard by Tiger, and he lost his balance. Frost hissed as Raphael took advantage of the situation and managed to cut his forearm. He tumbled backwards and quickly stood up again, right next to Blane. Frost inspected the cut, noticing that it wasn't as deep as he thought. He took a defensive stance and frowned at the failures known as Bebop and Rocksteady. "Perhaps we have underestimated you." Frost narrowed his eyes at the trio of his attackers.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger was suddenly crushed beneath the blue turtles weight and quickly scambled away when he rose off her. Seeing that the others had everyting under control she dragged herself to the wall and layed down.

Tiger grasped the knife in her shoulder with her teeth and ripped it out, feeling the serated edges grind with her shoulder blade. Her blood began to spill out of her shoulder and soon her whole leg was soaked in it. Soon her double vision became one big blurb and then everthing went black.

She could still hear the faint sounds but she could not make her body move so she layed still.

[enigma-1]

E: *catches Leo's movement on her scanners, cursing to herself as she lowers her leg* Well, can't do it nicely, just do it the old fashioned way.

*launches off her perch, diving into the battle headfirst*

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane grabbed hold of Oni's arm from behind and tried to wrestle the laser gun from her grip.

"Be a good girl and drop it!" He hissed

[HorseTechie]

(( Mhh... :oops: not that there's much of a diff between Frost and Azure! ))

"Aww.. did you get hurt?" Raph taunted 'the big blue turtle with a spear'. "Serves ya right, for beating up on endangered cats!"

Raph was about to luncgh another round of jabs and kicks when he noticed anotehr starnge creature enter the scene.

[Kali]

Oni tried to pull away from Blane without twisting her arm too far. "Why don't you let go!" she snapped back.

Leo moved in and knocked out Bebop just as he was getting up. They now had the advantage of numbers. He hoped the others were okay down below.

Meanwhile, in the sewers:

"I'm telling you Mike, the lair's this way."
"Nuh uh, that pipe looks familiar."
"That's because we've passed it three times!"

((Hee hee, couldn't resist.))

[enigma-1]

E: *gives a screech as her only warning as she dives into sight, slamming into Leo, her claws extended and ready*

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane held on as best he could.

"Why don't you let go of the gun?!" He growled, trying to twist it from her grip

[Kali]

"Because I don't want to get shot!" Oni yelled back as she tried to keep hold of the blaster. She kicked at Blane's shin and gave the laser a good yank.

Leo reacted instantly to the screech. Not fast enough to avoid the hit, but he did manage to turn so his shell took the brunt of it. The scratches on his shell stung, but they weren't really damaging. He rolled up to his feet into a crouching position and drew his katana. Seems like things just evened up.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Oni's kick connected with Blane's shin, he was unable to hold onto the laser as she yanked it from his grip.

His shin stung, causing his eyes to water slightly, but he kept his attention on the now armed and angry Oni.

"Did I mention getting shot wasn't on my 'to do' list today?"

[Kali]

"Well, getting ambushed wasn't exactly on mine!" Oni huffed. "Stay put and I won't have to shoot you."

Keeping one eye on Blane, Oni glanced over to see how the fight between Raph and Frost was going.

[azure turtle]

(( OOC: There's a big difference between me and Frost! Don't forget, Frost is fictional! :razz:

Frost: I am NOT fictional! We already had this discussion!

Okay, shut up already! You're still in a fight scene with Raph! ))

Frost noticed that Raphael was distracted by something. He saw movement from the corner of his eye, but he decided to take advantage of the situation. Frost executed a quick leg sweep, hoping to catch Raphael off guard.

[enigma-1]

E: *swerves after she hits, barely managing to right herself and curves back on her course*

*hovers, flexing claws and eyeing Leo* Not so nice to have someone sneak up on you, is it, friend?

[SeaThreePeeO]

Taking advantage of Oni's temporary distraction, Blane decided to rush her. Hopefully knocking her of her feet and the gun out of her hand at the same time.

[HorseTechie]

Raph curses under his breath when Frost's sweep caught him off guard. He forgot about what that strange thing was that attacked Leo, and glared at Frost as he jumped to his feet again.

Raph went up to Frost, hooked the length of the blue turtle's spear in both of his sai and strained to break it. "What else can you do?" he threatned while hearing the wood in the staff start to crack.

[Kali]

Oni snapped her attention back to Blane as he charged her. With no time to dodge, Oni hid the gun behind her to keep him from getting it. Blane slammed her into the wall, incidentally crushing the blaster between her shell and the brick wall. It wasn't a pleasant experience for her hand either.

Leo narrowed his eyes at his strange opponent. It was someone he'd never met before, so he had no idea what they might be doing in this fight. Not that he cared at the moment. They had attacked first, and he wouldn't let them get away with that.

[enigma-1]

E: *hovers a moment longer* I believe it's your move now. Either we fight or you leave this battle as it is. Your choice.

[azure turtle]

Frost gritted his teeth and met Raphael's fierce stare.

Damn, he silently cursed. Well then... How does that old saying go? "Desperate times call for desperate measures"? Frost heard his spear straining under the pressure of Raphael's sais. I believe this qualifies as "desperate"....

"I can do this." Frost quickly executed a headbutt.

[SeaThreePeeO]

This wasn't the outcome Blane was hoping for, still Oni was unable to use the laser gun against him, surely that was an advantage.

Using all the strength he could summon, he continued to push Oni into the wall.

[HorseTechie]

Raphael steped back a few feet to lessen the blow of Frost's headbutt. But then the same fluid motion, he grabbed the blue turtles arm and half spun/half threw him against the brick wall of the building. "Doe say doe, n around we go," he mused.

[enigma-1]

E: *flexes claws casually and looks at Leo* Well?

[azure turtle]

Frost landed in heap on a few garbage cans. He quickly sat up, favoring his shoulder. That went well... He got back up on his feet and let out a sigh. This was much more difficult than he had hoped. Bebop and Rocksteady were both down for the count, but the strange creature Frost and Blane met earlier has joined them to even out the odds. The blue turtle turned his attention back to Raphael.

"Master Splinter has taught you well. It is always an honor to fight such skilled warriors." Frost smirked and got back into an attack stance. He was going to use the reach of his spear as an advantage over Raphael's smaller sais.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger could hear the battle in front of her.I hope no one lands on meshe thought

She heard the something land on the trash cans I certainly hope the good guys are winning....who ever they are.

[i]

she tried to stand but her body was locked in the down position, she then tried to open her eyes which seemed glued shut.

[HorseTechie]

"How do you know Master Splinter...?" Raph asked Forst with some surprise, while he still stood in attack mode.

[azure turtle]

Frost couldn't help but smile. "I bumped into him rather unexpetedly... But I assure you he is safe. He is a good-hearted person, even willing to share a meal with his own enemies." Frost sighed sadly, lowering his gaze a bit. "A shame that I cannot say the same about my sensei..." He quickly shook his head, trying not to allow his emotions to get the better of him. Frost still had a mission to carry out. "I would love to continue chatting with you, but it seems like we have unfinished business." He jabbed at Raphael with his spear.

I hope we can continue fighting at this pace. Otherwise, we shall have to make a hasty retreat...

[Kali]

Oni tried to squirm away from Blane, but every movement was painful, the way her arm was caught behind her back. She finally decided that the best thing to do was stop fighting and just try and make it out of this alive.

Leo stepped back and pulled his swords back into a defensive position. "I won't fight if you don't."

[enigma-1]

E: *nods* Fair enough. But remember. Set one foot into this battle and we fight.

[HorseTechie]

Raph cursed under his breath, caught off guard by this blue fool. "Now you asked for it!" he warned Frost, before lunging at him with 'spiked fists'.

(( Okay, I'm starting to feel sorry for poor Tiger Powers ))

"I know Leo told us to go back to the lair, but this is starting to worry me," Don told Mikey as they watched the fight from a distance.

"Yeah... the Force must be talking to us if we kept going in circles without never reaching home," Mike mused. "Whoa... wait, what's that?"

He pointed out to Don the shape of a black feline creature laying by the dumpster. "A casualty of war?" Don crept closer to the figure to check for vital signs.

[Storm Wolf]

(*sighs* at least someone loves me here.......lol)

Tiger heard something approaching her and since she could do nothing she layed still, heart racing wildly as she struggled to catch her breath.

[SeaThreePeeO]

((Writers block))

Blane relaxed a little once Oni stopped squirming.

"Drop the gun , please."

[azure turtle]

(( LOL!! Sorry Tiger, but I have no idea as to how or when this battle is gonna end... :tanime: Maybe we can speed things up a bit for her? ))

Frost cursed in Japanese as Raphael lunged towards him. He stumbled a bit as he tried his best to block Raphael's punches, but a few got past his defenses. Frost felt his foe's sais scratch his plastron and shoulders. He swung his spear in hopes of driving Raphael away.

[HorseTechie]

(( hrmm... decides to apply Turtle in Time VG tactics here :P ))

"Dam.. you just don't give up?" As last resort, Raph just grabs Frost and throws him over his shoulder into (Enigma's char).


Don felt the large cat's racing pulse, andf then noticed the bloody gash on her shoulder. Surely, she was a new stranger to these parts, he could tell that much. "Shh.. I'm not going to hurt you,"

"Dude... who is it?" Mike looked over he shoulder, while at the same time keeping an eye on the fight ahead of it.

"Dunno..." Don shrugged, remaining in the crouched positon by her.

[Kali]

Oni managed to pull her arm out from behind her and drop the gun. It was kinda... smashed a bit, and a few pieces broke off as it hit the ground. "Oops."

[enigma-1]

E: *grunts as Frost's weight hits her and she's knocked to the ground*

[azure turtle]

(( OOC: Omigosh! HT used something she saw in a VG! Who says VGs can't be educational? :P ))

Frost moaned as he slowly sat up and rubbed his sore head. He didn't expect to be hurled several feet into the air. Frost suddenly noticed that he hit the creature he met earlier. "Are you all right?" he asked.

[enigma-1]

Echo: *sighs, drumming claws on the ground* I've been better and I'm sorely tempted to rephrase what I said earlier.

[HorseTechie]

(( *lol* be glad I didn't grab ya by the wrist and whump you around like a ragdoll a few times! ))

"Hey. Leo... where's the rope at?" Raph asked him, while keeping an eye on the two lying on the ground.

[enigma-1]

Echo: Touch me and I WILL defend myself, mutant.

[azure turtle]

(( OOC: A ragdoll?! Eep! That's too painful! ))

Frost struggled to get back to his feet. He was a bit groggy from the landing. He tried to analyze their situation. It seemed like Blane had the advantage over Oni, but Rocksteady and Bebop were still out of the fight, as well as the turtles' new ally. Maybe now was a good time to call a retreat, especially with Raphael and Leonardo still standing...

[Kali]

Leo pulled his grappling hook from his belt and pulled the rope out. "Looks like this is the best we have, Raph. We better hurry before they get their senses back."

[enigma-1]

Echo: *gets to her feet and launches shakily into the air again*

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane saw Leo remove something from his belt. But what could he do? Oni wasn't likely to stand still and watch as he counter attacked.

Blane pulled Oni from the wall, holding on to her as best he could while trying to reach something in his coat pocket

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger heard gentle words of peace and relaxed, her pulse slowing to its normal rate.

At least they mean no harm she thought, she opened one eye with much difficulty to see a green blur before her, she closed it and a small barely audible “Help.” escaped her lips.

[Kali]

Oni struggled against Blane's hold on her. This wasn't really turning out the way she had hoped. "Lemme go!" she screamed, trying to stomp on Blane's feet.

[SeaThreePeeO]

((Grr brain cramp))

Blane fumbled in this coat pocket, clinging on to Oni for dear life. This was no easy task, given the fact that she had now decided to stamp on his feet.

Blane let out a deep growl as Oni managed a well placed stomp.

"Just do me a favor and calm down." He hissed before untangling a small knife form his coat.

[HorseTechie]

"Thanks..." Raph snatched the rope and made easy pickings out of Frost since he was standing there in a daze. He pushed the blue turtle up against the wall to wrap the rope about his hands behind his back.

"Hey.. where you going?" Raph noticed the other one leap away.

****

"If you're not going to hurt us, we'll help you," Don told the big black cat. He wasn't sure yet if she was friend or foe, or someone who just got caught in the middle.

[enigma-1]

E: Away from you, mutant. I have no intention of being anyone's prisoner.

*glances at Frost, sighing inwardly* And I'm afraid that I can't let you take him either. Doc taught me better than that.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger gathered all her strength "Hurt you?" she tried to laugh but it came out a cough "not in this state, and if you help me I would never dream of harming you."

Tiger rolled on her side laying her head on Donatello's knee

[azure turtle]

Frost was pressed hard against the wall as Raphael continued to tie up his hands. He was able to watch as Blane struggled to keep Oni under control. Then he noticed Oni stomping away at Blane's feet. Hmm... That looks like a good idea. While Raphael was distracted by the winged creature, Frost began to stomp on Raphael's feet, hoping to get loose.

[HorseTechie]

Raph side glanced at the winged creature heckling him. "I ain't taking him any---" but he was cut off when the blue turtle managed to stomp down on his foot and toes hard. He backed away in pain, but fortunately he had made the knots tight in time.

****

"Awww... I think she likes you," Mike mused as he watched the tiger rest her head on his brother's knee.

"Eh.. yeah.." Don blushed. But he couldn't really take her anywhere, until he was sure this battle was over. "Uhm... go see if they need any help, Mikey."

[enigma-1]

E: Let him go. Now.

*holds up a foreleg, aiming it at Raph*

[HorseTechie]

Mikey makes note of the situation while swining a chuk.

[enigma-1]

(um, E aka Echo is about 20 feet in the air. did mikey just jump up at her or what?)

[azure turtle]

Frost saw an opening and quickly began throwing kicks at Raphael. Unfortunately, his hands were tied, and he couldn't put up much of an offense. A desperation attack... I have lost if this does not work...

[HorseTechie]

(um, E aka Echo is about 20 feet in the air. did mikey just jump up at her or what?)
Echo is way up in the air? Where was that stated? :-?

*goes back to make an edit*

[enigma-1]

(Echo: *gets to her feet and launches shakily into the air again* I posted this on page 5.)

E: *flaps wings, keeping her aim steady* Last chance. Let him go.

[HorseTechie]

(( *tsk... wull, you didn't say 20 feet in da air! ))

Raphael dodges Frosts kicks, while glancing at Echo and Mikey. *Gonna just hang there, or are you gonna do something?* he thought to himself about those two. He had no intentions of letting Frost go, especially if he was still fighting him.

Mike looked at the fire escape the flying mutant creature was hovering near, and finally formed a plan. He skirted to the left, to jump up to the lower rung of the ladder and climb up.

[Kali]

Oni kicked at the knife Blane was holding. "I don't do favors for people trying to kill my friends."

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane was stunned as the knife clattered to the gorund.

"Kill is such a strong word." He struggled to drag Oni with him. "Just play along and maybe we can all go home with our limbs intact?"

[enigma-1]

E: *alerted by internal sensors, swings around as Mikey climbs toward her* Oh no you don't.

*aims for him instead, firing a dart from the band on her foreleg*

[HorseTechie]

"Oww," Mike muttered to himself when he felt something sting his arm.

[enigma-1]

E: *shakes head, flapping her wings a few beats so that she's farther out of range* Sorry, but I wouldn't worry. You'll only be out for a few hours.

[HorseTechie]

(( Azure...? Where'd you go? ))

[Dr. Terminus]

*Bumps into the turtles*

Whoa! uh heh do you remember me?

[azure turtle]

(( OOC: Sorry, HT! I thought you were gonna attack Frost with Raph! :goofygri: ))

Frost continued throwing kicks at Raphael's direction, but trying to hit his enemy was nearly impossible. He struggled to see if the ropes around his wrists were loose. Unfortunately, it seemed like Raphael had tied them well. Frost cursed under his breath. If only I can get my hands free...

[HorseTechie]

(( *lol* and I was waiting for Frost ta do something more! ))

So then Raph thought about throwing something at that flying bird lafdy again... but he decided he better secure Frost a little more. He grabbs a old torn sheet from the dumpster to wrap Frost up in, and then glartes at the bird lady (Raph just doesn't know Echo's name yet). "So, what are you gonna do about that?"

Mike was slotched on the railing of the fire escape, and gave Echo a dreamy look. She looked so magical and sparkly, like a she was a fairie who had come to save the day. "Yeeeah... I no woooorree. I be haaaappy now... mmmm.." he stared at her and Raph below with a drunken gaze.


Don looked up to see the mysterious guy that was talking to them ealrier. "Uh, hi.. yeah... I got a cat lady here who's not doing too well."

[enigma-1]

E: *flicks a wing at Mikey* I took him out. If you don't let that mutant go, I'll do the same to you. Only I'll make you don't wake up after more than a few hours.

[azure turtle]

(( OOC: LOL! Looks like you and I were both playing the waiting game, HT! ;) ))

Frost was continued to struggle, but he was trapped. He couldn't imagine what the enemy might do to him, so he tried everything in his power to break free. Unfortunately, all of Frost's movements caused him to lose his balance and he fell towards a wall, bumping his head.

"Argh!! That...hurt..." Frost fell onto his back and remained motionless.

[HorseTechie]

Raph let out a huff of disbelieve, both at Mike and his two opponents. "Hey, the dude knocked his own lights out. You go get him if he's that important."

He drew his sai, and kept an close eye on her as he ran over to climb up the fire escape to get to Mike.

[enigma-1]

E: *merely glares at Raph, then glides downward again, placing herself between others and the unconscious Frost as she thinks to herself*

Doc, I swear you better have something good waiting when I get back. You're the only reason I'm helping these guys.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger heard an unfamillar voice speaking to the mutant next to her and a small growl rose in her throat "who.....is....there?"

[SeaThreePeeO]

((eek slow down!))

"Hey Mr Sunshine!" Blane yelled in Raphael's direction hoping to gain his attention.

"I think I have something that belongs to you." He sneered Pulling Oni towards him. "It would be an awful shame if she got hurt, don'tcha think?"

It was a struggle to keep hold of Oni, she was surprisingly strong for her size.

"Now I suggest you just pack up and leave!"

[HorseTechie]

(( ehh... sowwee! ))

Raph gitted his teeth upon realiizing Oni was in the other one's clutches. Now where did Leo go, he thought he was helping Oni out. "F...." he muttered before forgetting about Mike, since no one was going after him.

"No.. I suggest you guys leave," Raph spat back to Blane. It was strange for him to say that, but he was getting outnumbered fast.

[enigma-1]

E: *sighs, shaking her head, making a mental decision to keep out of this any further beyond guarding the unconscious mutant behind her*

[Kali]

((OOC: Sorry for the absence, I've been sick.))

Oni continued to struggle slightly against Blane. But she knew she was no longer in control of the situation and would have to rely on the actions of the others around her. Being a damsel in distress was not something she was used to.

Leo had drawn his swords again. He had moved back into the shadows and was trying to get behind Blane undetected. Now he just had to figure out a way to get Oni out of harm's way before attacking.

[azure turtle]

(( OOC: Just a quick question... Who's RPing as Don, and where is he in the RPG?? I'm a little confused. Thanks in advance! ))

[Storm Wolf]

((OCC: I think HT is using Don and he is with Tiger......I think))

[HorseTechie]

((OCC: I think HT is using Don and he is with Tiger......I think))
Yep.. you are correct! Don is witht he injured Tiger out of harms way behind a trash dumpster.

Mike is the Non Player Character in this RPG, and he's conviently knocked out of play again.

[SeaThreePeeO]

((Welcome back Kail. We missed you :) ))



"No.. I suggest you guys leave," Raph spat back to Blane. It was strange for him to say that, but he was getting outnumbered fast.

An evil smirk spread across Blane's face. He had never been in control of anything in his life and against his better judement he was letting this get the better of him.

"Temper, temper." He goaded Raphael. "We wouldn't want anything nasty to happen, now would we?" Blane tightened his grip on Oni's arms and swung her round to face Raphael.

[enigma-1]

E: *shakes head, knowing that things can only get worse from here*

[HorseTechie]

Fire seemed to smother in Raph's eyes upon hearing Blane's threat. Blane wasn't hurting Oni yet, but the grip he had on her still piffed him off. "Let her go..." Raph growled his warning first as his grip tighted on his sai. His mind was quickly forming a new plan on how to take Blane down without getting Oni hurt too much.

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Yeah?" Blane snarled. "Well what if I don't wanna? What are you going to do then tough guy? Call me names?"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger could still hear the sounds of fighting in the background and she pushed herself up to a sitting position "Are you sure your friends don't need help, they sure sound like it." she looked at the mutant turtle before her her vision normal " I can still help as well, some of my strength seems to be returning." she smiled at Donatello and stood up "Still a little wobbly." she said to know one in particular

[enigma-1]

E: *thinks to herself as she watches Blane* You're really asking for it if you keep that up, kid. I hope someone doesn't have to pick up the pieces when this is over.

[Kali]

Oni caught a movement out of the corner of her eye. She figured it was Leo, seeing as he wasn't anywhere else to be seen. Hopefully Raphael would distract Blane long enough for Leo to follow through with whatever he was planning.

Just a few more seconds, Leo thought.

[HorseTechie]

Don bit his lip, upon seeing the injured cat lady get up. He was still trying to figure outr what happened to Mike, and if he could get over there.

"Are you sure you can help... in your condition?" he was dubious about the cat lady's offer.

~~~~

Raphael had imagined an eloborate flip manuver over Blane head, that let him hook his sai into the top of the punks jacket to flip him, when he had noticed some movement behind the two. That's where Leo was! He prolly had something better in mind.

"Yeah, you lame overgrown excuse for a mutant turtle!" Raph wrapped his fingers around a sai's prongs and taunted Blane with his speared fist.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane narrowed his eyes and glowered at Raphael. His grip on Oni losening slightly

"Why you!" Anger began to fog his mind and trip up his tongue.

He failed to notice the movements behind him

[enigma-1]

E: *sighs as she scans, realizing what's about to happen as she watches Blane* Oh boy. This is not going to be pretty.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger looked at Don "Oh sure I've been a lot worse off." she collapsed but quickly pulled herself back up into a sitting position

[Kali]

NOW! Leo cued himself. He leapt out of the shadows behind Blane and grabbed him around the neck and shoulders.

Oni took advantage of Leo's attack and slipped free from Blane's loose grip. She backed up next to Raphael and got into a defensive position in case Blane managed to get out of Leo's grasp.

[HorseTechie]

Don nodded, again realizing how little he know to this lady. It was hard to pass judgement on the situation otherwise. "What is your name? I'm Donatello."

~~~~

"You okay?" Raph whipsred to Oni, as he also keep an eye on Leo's take on Blaine, as well as the winged creature above.

[enigma-1]

E: *watches Blane and the others, debating whether she should help him out after all or just stay put*

[Kali]

Oni nodded in reply to Raphael's question. "My arm's a little sore, but I'll be fine." She too kept her guard up in case any of their enemies decided to try another attack.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Leo's attack took Blane totally by surprise. A wave of anger surged through his body. How could he have been so stupid?

He managed to keep his anger under control, he new that trying anything now while everyone was on edge would be disasterous. All he could do was groan inwardly at himself

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger stood up the rest of the way "Donatello huh?......mines Tiger, nice to meet ya." she stretched herself and headed to for the fight "Shall we?" she turned her head and smiled at Donatello

[Kali]

"Hey Raph," Leo said as he kept his hold on Blane. "Got any more of that rope left?"

[HorseTechie]

Don shrugged, and held out a hand to help Tiger to her feet. "The three that look like me are my brothers. Two of them look like they have things under control, but I'm worried about the third who's passed out on the fire escape up there. See the flying dragon mech up there, she's still capable to taking us all out if she wanted too... don't let her out of your site," Don quickly explained the situation there.

Raph twisted his face in dissapoint to Leo's request. "I don't think you want me to take it off that one," he nodded to the unconscious blue turtle.

"Maybe this would do," Don appraoched him and Oni from behind, with a roll of duct tape in hand.

"Thanks," Raph took it with the intent to help Leo bind Blaine's feet and hands.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane narrowed his eyes at the duct tape. He did not want to imagine having to peel that off his skin. He chose that moment to muster up all his strength and struggle.

With a deep growl he set about trying to dislodge Leonardo from his person

[enigma-1]

E: *watches the group warily, but almost falls to the ground when she spots Donatello and Tiger*

No way. So the Doc was right. It is possible for a double. Weird.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger started to climb the fire escape watching the the thing flying above her closely, she was intent on getting Donatello's brother out of harms way. She made her way slowly to him "Hey, get up this ain't no time for a nap." she shook him slightly, keeping her eye's on the flyer.

[enigma-1]

E: *casts a sideways glance at Tiger* It won't do you any good to try and wake him. The dart had enough drugs in it to make him sleep for about three hours. After that, he'll wake up w/ a headache but otherwise be fine.

[Kali]

Leo struggled to keep a hold of Blane. He tried to restraint Blaine so Raphael would have an easier time duct taping him but he wasn't cooperating at all.

[HorseTechie]

(( *lol* *ahem* ))

An evil twisted grin came across Raph's face as he unrolled a strip and held it out to stick it across Blaine's chest. "Leo, grap this," He gave the roll to Leo while glaring right in Blaines face real quick before backing off.

Don stood near, keeping one eye on Tiger with Mike, and another on Leo and Raph.

Mike barely fluttered his eyes and mumbled something incoherent before dozing off into that beautiful dream with lots of warm sun, beaches, and babes.

"True..." Don commented what the dragon mech told Tiger. "But that's not going to stop us from helping him down." He would go up there too, but it could be a trap. "Keep trying to wake him up," the turtle pleaded to Tiger.

[enigma-1]

E: Go right ahead. I have no reason to object to that. *shrugs* I wouldn't have even knocked him out to begin w/ if he hadn't tried to jump me from behind. I don't like that.

*glances at Raph and Leo* What do you plan to do with these mutants and their companions?

[SeaThreePeeO]

While Leonardo was behind him taping him up Blane decided to take a chance and try and slam him against the wall.

After all desperate times call do stupid actions

[Storm Wolf]

"Alright then, if he can't be waken up then I'll just have to carry him down." Tiger in human form managed to pick up the yop half of Mike "Man, he's really gotta lay off the junk foods!" she grunted as she began to drag him down the fire escape.

[Kali]

"Oof!" Leo wasn't expecting Blane to fight back like that. He lost his grip on the tape as he slammed against the wall.

Oni stepped forward in a heartbeat to grab the roll of tape and circle it around Blane's chest and arms as she moved around him. "You okay, Leo?"

Leo got up and dusted himself off. "Yeah, I guess. You think after living with Raph so long I'd be used to desperate, reckless tactics," he grinned.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane's temper was near erupting point. He glared daggers at his captors.

"Great, good for you. So now what are you going to do? Leave us here?"

[HorseTechie]

"Hey... you were the one asking for something to bind him with," Raph snapped back at Leo. Using some Judo tactics, he stood now with his leg crossed infront of Blaine's to keep him from lashing out with any kicks at Oni. "Tap his ankles,"

((*lol* Sorry Nun! Question: how many ninja does it take to tie up a tough mutant turtle? :P ))

Don sighed, after he saw that Tiger was going to attempt to bring Mike down herself, despite her conditon.

"Wha... p'nk doods...?" Mike mumble-slurred, wondering way he suddenly felt like he was floating.

"Tiger... lemme help you with the ladder," Don yelled to them. The really long drop from the end of the ladder tot he ground that concerned him the most. It sure would be nice if he had a grappling hook on hand, so he could make a pulley device to ease Mike. "Hey... Tiger... does his have his grappling hook?" Don asked.

[enigma-1]

E: *sighs, watching the whole scene* Doc old boy, you are definately gonna owe me for this one.

[azure turtle]

Frost began to slowly stir, mumbling incoherently. "...head...hurts..."

[enigma-1]

E: *looks down at Frost, then shrugs, gliding down and landing beside him*

Just hope you hold still long enough for this.

*flexes claws, then starts ripping into the ropes that hold him*

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger hesitated, she really didn't know much about things like that, but she grabbed a small object off Mikes belt and threw it to Don "Is this it?" she asked

[Kali]

Oni wrapped the tape around Blaine's ankles a few times and tore the end. "That everyone?"

Leo rubbed his shoulder. "Looks like it. Let's go help get Mikey down, then we can get out of here."

[enigma-1]

E: *continues, only stopping when most of the ropes have been torn away and it would be possible for the turtle to remove the rest on his own*

[HorseTechie]

Tiger hesitated, she really didn't know much about things like that, but she grabbed a small object off Mikes belt and threw it to Don "Is this it?" she asked

Don smiled in relief. "Yeah! Just hook the metal claw to his belt, and throw the rope over that railing there. I'll grab that and then ease him down."

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger hooked the claw to Mikes belt and threw the rope over the railing just as Donatello had told her to "Are you sure this is gonna work?" she had her doubts about mechinisms and such, because she really didn't understand them to well

[enigma-1]

*looks up from her work, watching the others* Hmm. Maybe I should just go. This really isn't any of my business and I still have to find that part for the Doc.

[azure turtle]

Frost struggled out of the ropes, but his head hurt and his ears were ringing. He slowly sat up and blinked a few times, taking in his surroundings. "What is going on here?!"

[HorseTechie]

"Me too..." Don remarked Tiger's concern. Hopefully Mike wasn't heavier than he looked. He grabbed the rope, pulled Mike up, then strained to ease him down to the ground.

"Damn... I can fly..." Mike mumbled though blurry eyes, and then attempted to weakly flap his 'wings'.

Raph rolled his eyes at this, then looked over to the awakening blue turtle. "Trust me on this, you don't wanna know. Go back to sleep!"

[enigma-1]

E: *sighs, shaking her head* Maybe I should have used the Z73 vial instead. I had no idea he'd end up that way.


(um, should i just give them an antidote or should we just let mike cont. to make a fool of himself? :P )

[HorseTechie]

(( *lol* ooo... whatever you want! I can make Mike totally zany no matter what state of mind he is in... provided I'm also in tune with my inner Mikey ))

"Oh... bull excrement..." Don muttered when he felt the railing ont eh fire escape give. *crash* Mikey fortunately landed in the garbage dumpster.

"Uhh... damn, lost that happy thought..." Mike groaned, while slowly rolling over to get his face away from an old bag of half eaten fast food.

Don ran over to look inside. "Mikey, hey.. you okay? Mikey?"

"I... dunno," he just laid there looking up to the night sky. "Purty stars..."

"Yeah... well, can you get up? We gotta get you out of there," Don looked at him, then glanced over to Raph and TIger who were approaching.

"Uhm.. okay... waidaminute..." Mike said, but didn't move yet. "How do wai do dat?"

[Storm Wolf]

(( lol....yeah either way Mikey is pretty hilarious!))

Tiger glanced at Mike then to Don "Uhhh.....I would hope he's not always that way." she tried her hardest not to laugh.

Tiger scrambled into the dumpster, dodging some of the less desirer able food groups and pulled Mike up into a sitting position "You just relax, and don't think to hard ok?" she flashed a bright smile at him and then looked to Don "uhhhh......he's pretty outa it, I don't think he's gonna be able to even sit up without support." She held Mike in the sitting position with one finger "I guess I could try and pick him up again and hand him over to ya." She rubbed her shoulder lightly man I'm gonna regret this later she thought.

[enigma-1]

E: *sighs, already aiming her foreleg again* All right, get out of the way. I don't want to end up hitting one of you instead.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger moved out of the way at the mech's request but still held Mike up with one finger "uhhhh....will the antidote take immediate effect?" she lifted her brow questioningly

[enigma-1]

E: It should. Doc designed this specifically for mutant turtles. I just misjudged before b/c I was rushed. This time it shouldn't be so...messy.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger shrugged "well at least I won't have to ruin my shoulder any worse then it already is." She looked at the mech "If you don't mind me asking what do I call you?"

[enigma-1]

E: I have no true name as you would, but you may call me Echo.

*aims her foreleg, firing a second dart*

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger laughed "Do you even consider Tiger a name?" she watched the dart Echo fired hit Mike "good shot!"

[enigma-1]

E: *merely shrugs* That is more than I will ever have. I am only called Echo b/c Doc insists on it instead of using my full designation. He claims that no creature, even a mechanoid, should be w/o a name.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger nodded "Oh I agree......names are very important....everything has to have one."

[enigma-1]

E: That is something I will never understand of full organics. This need for names.

*watches Mike* It should start to effect him in a moment or so. I made sure the dose was stronger this time.

[HorseTechie]

Don also stepped back, only to find himself having to hold Raph back away from the strange mech. "Chill Raph... don't she's gonna hurt Mikey this time," he tried to convince him.

"Yeah but, how do you know she's... not gonna... finish him off?" He continued struggling, regardless of the fact they were talking about antidotes.

"I just know.. okay," Don muttered.

Mikey flinched when he felt that sting again, then suddenly he stood upright with his eye wide open as the strange sensation surged through him. "Ahhhh!! I'm, I'm, I'm on fiire! Ahhahahaaa... okay. okay... wha...?" He nearly fell over in the trash as the intial shock wore off.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger gave Echo a little salute "Thanks a lot."

Tiger caught Mike and stood next to making sure he was stable enough to walk/stand. "You feelin ok?"

She then hoped out of the trash bin and walked over to Don and Raph "Has anyone ever explained to your brother here, that you get more with sugar than with lemons?" she shook her head and laughed lightly.

[HorseTechie]

Mikey gripped the edge of the dumpster, blinking and twitching nervously while trying to remeber what all had just happened. "Wow... you look cute. What's your name again?" he blurted out to Tiger in response to her quesiton.

Don just blinked, not knowing exactly what Tiger was telling him. "Eh?"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger blushed from Mike's remark and she smiled broadly "Oh...it's Tiger." she said softly

Then hearing Don she turned to him "Rowdy red there,(points to Raph) can't just go tryin to dominate everyone and everything in sight, like that." She paused for a moment "Do you think if he would have spoke to the mech before I did that it would have givin your other brother the antidote?"

Tiger sighed and rubbed her shoulder "So what exactly was this battle over?"

[azure turtle]

Frost gave Raphael a complete look of terror. "Who are you? What do you want from me?" He paused for a moment, and looked at his surroundings. "Where am I? By the gods, this isn't Japan..."

[HorseTechie]

"Tiiiger... *rooowll*, "Mike purred to tease her more, as he leapt out of the bin.

"Oh... you were talking about Raph! Heh, I thought you meant Mikey," Don smacked his hand to his forehead.

"Shyaa... right. She was threatening to do not so nice things to us if we didn't leave that, that blue dork alone. And then she shot Mikey... so yeah, i'm not liking that dragon thing a whole lot!" Raph stepped up to Tiger, still very much peeved.

Don dragged Raph back agaon, to better explain what he saw of the situation. "Well, you see those two guys there, they were obviously with our sworn enemies -- who had run off now -- and helping them do something we decided to but a stop too...."Don hesitated and then looked to Echo. "I guess you really weren't with them... but just trying to stop their fighting?"

[enigma-1]

E: *shrugs* You could put it that way. I normally don't fight unless someone threatens me first.

*glares at Raph* And the only reason I shot at your brother was b/c he jumped me. I was defending myself, something even you could understand.


*looks back at Don* But the only reason I even stepped in was b/c your friend in the blue mask was about to jump him. If it hadn't been for that, I would have just kept on my search and gone home.

[Kali]

Leo walked over to the group. "Well, now that we seem to have everything sorted out, we should get out of here before anything else happens."

[Machias Banshee]

*Meanwhile, Splinter is happily enjoying the quiet time that he's had. He has a pot of green tea on one side, a plate of fruit at another, and he's reading The Count Of Monte Cristo*

Sp: Ah..... :D



(Geez, i gotta get caught up with these things...)

[SeaThreePeeO]

Frost gave Raphael a complete look of terror. "Who are you? What do you want from me?" He paused for a moment, and looked at his surroundings. "Where am I? By the gods, this isn't Japan..."

Blane groaned inwardly at Frost's sudden memory loss.

"Hey blue boy!" He yelled, struggling to get into a more comfortable position. "Glad to see your awake! This isn't Japan, your in the USA and if you want answers I suggest you stop that gang of punks that just jumped you." Blane jurked his head in the direction of the turtles.

Hopefully that would be enough to stir Frost into some sort of action.

[enigma-1]

E: *nods* For once, I say we're in agreement. From what I understand of this world, mutants and the like aren't exactly the most welcome of sights in human standards.

[azure turtle]

Frost turned his attention to Blane, completely confused. "Do I know you? And why are you tied up? They jumped me?" Frost turned to the group of turtles and noticed that they were joined by a tiger and a strange creature with wings. "There seem to be no humans in this country." Scratching his head, Frost stood up and walked over to Blane, who was still tied up with tape. "Hmm... You obviously know who I am, so I guess I should give you a hand." He looked around for something sharp, and noticed a spear on the ground. Frost quickly snatched it up, and used its blade to free Blane. "There you go. Now what should we do? I am so lost..."

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Thanks" Blane muttered as he rubbed his skin, now sore from the tape.

"The first thing you do my friend is stop those punks!" Blane snarled pointing in the direction of the turtles

[enigma-1]

E: *glares at Blane after hearing his words* One would think you would have learned your lesson by now.

[Storm Wolf]

"Tiiiger... *rooowll*, "Mike purred to tease her more, as he leapt out of the bin.

"Oh... you were talking about Raph! Heh, I thought you meant Mikey," Don smacked his hand to his forehead.



Tiger tried not to laugh at Mike's rusty purring "Uhhhh......Mike's a little to nice!"

She walked up to Mike "Amature.......!" she then let out a soft cats purr and smirked at him

E: *glares at Blane after hearing his words* One would think you would have learned your lesson by now.

Tiger looked at Echo and frowned "Yeah you would think.........but for some reason he seems to be lacking a decent portion of his brain!"

[enigma-1]

E: That appears to be the trouble w/ many specimens. They don't learn from their mistakes and end up in more trouble.

[azure turtle]

Frost turned back to look at the group standing before him. "They do not look very nice," Frost whispered to Blane. "And it appears that we are outnumbered. I do not think we should attack them... But I cannot remember for the life of me why they would attack us."

Frost scratched his head in thought, and accidentally touched a giant bruise. "Ouch! I believe I am already wounded!" He quickly turned around and began heading out of the alley. "This is too much for me to handle. I must first figure out who I am and what I am doing in America..."

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Oh for the love of God!" Blane rubbed his temples before throwing his arms in the air and chasing after Frost.

By the time he caught up he was a little out of breath.

"Listen up - You are - a member of - the - foot clan." He glaced over at Frost. "Ring any - bells?"

[enigma-1]

E: Does anyone know what that was about?

[HorseTechie]

Mike cracked a small smile that suddenly turned into a big one after hearing Tiger purr so well, and so close into his ear. "Wild!" he mused.

Don just tried hard to not bust up laughing in response to the scene between Blane and Frost. "I think the blue guy lost his memory. What did you do to him, Raph?"

"Me... Ut! I didn't do that. He knocked his own self out after I 'bagged' him," he explaned rather defensively. "Sides. he asked for it."

[enigma-1]

E: This coming from one who doesn't seem to have even the remotest sense of intellect.

*watches Frost and Blane go* Hmm, if that mutant really is hurt, Doc would say that someone should check on him. It could be more worse than it seems.

[azure turtle]

Frost gave Blane a most bewildered look. "I am a member of the Foot Clan? Is that some sort of dance club?" The confused blue turtle grimaced at the thought. "I certainly hope that I am not an interpretive dancer..."

[SeaThreePeeO]

((Remembers those we lost :cry: ))

Blane began to thump his forehead with the base of his palm. "No, no, no noooo." Again he looked at Frost this was going to be harder then he thought.

[HorseTechie]

E: This coming from one who doesn't seem to have even the remotest sense of intellect.

*watches Frost and Blane go* Hmm, if that mutant really is hurt, Doc would say that someone should check on him. It could be more worse than it seems.
Raph grimanced at her suggestion to help him. "Yeah.. after he tried to kill us, now you want me to play good samaritan? Riight...." Raph crossed his arms, then noticed the disapproving looks from Leo and Don. "What? Don't tell me you agree with her."

(( BTW.. where did Kali go? ))

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger looked at Raphael "Well its not like he knew what he was doing....now that he's someone else perhaps he will be a bit friendlier?" She looked at Echo "You are right, if he has lost his memory he could get hurt or lost."

[Kali]

((Sorry! I just couldn't think of anything!))

Oni looked back after Blane and Frost. "I think maybe we should help. Maybe we can use his lost memory to our advantage." She looked to the others.

Leo thought for a second. Raph did have a point, as cold as it was. "They were the ones who attacked us first. They'll just go back to the Technodrome and get help."

"But the blue one doesn't know to go to the Technodrome," Oni replied. "Or he could lead us right to it," she suggested.

Leo did his best not to glare at her. He hated it when others had ulterior motives he didn't know about, and it seemed to him like Oni did. "It's almost morning, we're going back to the lair. Master Splinter will be worried." He looked at Echo and Tiger. "If you two are so worried about him, you could always go after him yourselves."

[enigma-1]

E: *sighs* It may be a sidetrack, but I know that's what Doc would want.

*flaps her wings, veering after Frost and Blane*

Though from what Doc's told me, I would have expected more from the Ninja Turtles, even in the case of an enemy.

*flies off and is gone*

[azure turtle]

Frost shrugged at Blane's frustration. "I hope that means I am not a dancer... I am truly sorry about this, but I cannot remember anything." The confused blue turtle stepped out of the alley and looked at all of the strange buildings. The sun wasn't up yet, but dawn was quickly approaching.

"I feel a little hungry..." Frost spotted a man walking towards him. The man had his head down, and he was wearing headphones. Frost stepped in front of him. "Excuse me, but could you help me find a restaurant that is open at this hour?" The man gawked at Frost and practically screamed bloody murder before turning around and running in the opposite direction. Frost rubbed his chin in thought. "How odd... With so many strange creatures living in this city, that man acted like he had never seen one before."

[Machias Banshee]

*Meanwhile, Splinter still sits in the lair, going through some of the writings Michelangelo has written for him, a mug of green tea at his side*

Sp: *smirk* Now, if i could only get him to practice as hard as he works on his stories...

*Splinter chuckles as he sets the book down, and repositions himself to go into a deep meditation, once again keeping an eye on his pupils...*

[enigma-1]

E: *glides up, hovering near Frost and Blane* Hey you! Hold on a sec!

[SeaThreePeeO]

((Oops we forgot about Bebop and Rocksteady))

Blane grabbed Frost by the arm and pulled him back into the alley. He peered round the corner in time to see the hysteric man disspear from view.

Blane sighed and shook his head, suddenly Bebop and Rocksteady stummbled into the alley. "Great." Blane's face lit up. "Where have you guys been?" Bebop and Rocksteady exchanged bewildered looks. "It seems your leader here took a blow to the head and it's wiped his memory." Blane continued. "And since I am the only one left with a measurable amout of brain power, I say the best thing to do would be to get back to that Technodrome thingy."

Bebop and Rocksteady conitued to stare blankly at Blane.

"You do know where it is don't you?"

"Yeah sure." Snorted Bebop.

"That way." Rocksteady and Bebop said in unison, pointing in opposite directions. Blane's face crumpled and he let out a small sob.

Just then a voice startled Blane, he turned round to see the flying creature that had released Frost from his bindings.

"What do you want?"

[enigma-1]

I came to see if your friend was all right. Is that a crime?

[azure turtle]

(( OOC: LOL!!! That was a great post, Nun! I'm glad to see Bebop and Rocksteady back... I thought someone said that they fleed from the scene earlier. Ah, but it's good to have some comedy relief, no? :D ))

Frost blinked at the arrival of Bebop and Rocksteady. "Who are you? Do I know you two as well?"

Bebop and Rocksteady exchanged looks of confusion. "So Blane wasn't kidding when he said you lost your memory..." Rocksteady scratched his head in thought.

"Wait, if Frost doesn't know who he is, then who's the leader here?" Bebop asked. The two mutants turned to Blane.

"Oh! Oh!" Rocksteady started jumping up and down, waving his arms. "I want to be the new leader!"

"No! Me!" Bebop joined in the strange dance.

While Bebop and Rocksteady argued about the being the leader, Frost thought about what Blane had said earlier. I am supposed to be in command? Am I a soldier of some sorts? He kept his thoughts to himself when a familiar winged creature approached them. Frost listened to Blane's exchange with the creature, and decided to answer for himself.

"Yes, I am alright. But I seem to have lost my memory..."

[SeaThreePeeO]

((Hee hee))

Blane was growing more and more agitated with Bebop and Rocksteady's jostling for leadership. He began to pace the alley rubbing his temples as he went. Every so often he would throw a worried look at Frost and the winged creature.

His head was now starting to pound. "Will you two pack it in!" Blane spun round and snapped at Bebop and Rocksteady. The bafooning pair stoppped mid prance and began scuffing their army boots on the sidewalk.

Blane looked again at Frost. "And you remember nothing, right?"

[azure turtle]

Frost turned to Blane and tilted his head slightly to the side. "No, not a thing..."

Bebop and Rocksteady looked rather disappointed at Blane's outburst. "Hey Bebop," Rocksteady whispered, "I think Blane's angry 'cause he wants to be the leader."

"That's not fair!" Bebop whispered back. "I'd make a better leader!"

"No, I would!" Rocksteady's voice rose to a harsh whisper. The two mutants were close to starting an argument once again.

[enigma-1]

E: *growls* Oh why don't you both shut it before I knock you out myself?

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Please do." Blane's voice was thick with sarcasm.

Again he shook his head. "Don't you like, have a communicator or something on you?" He asked Frost

[azure turtle]

"A... Communicator?" Frost blinked a few times before patting the belt that he wore. He opened up one of the pockets and took its contents out. "Well... These look like metal stars..." He continued going through the small pockets before finding a strange looking device that was purple in color. It had a little screen in the middle. "Is this what you are looking for? It seems like a portable television." Frost handed the device to Blane.

Bebop and Rocksteady exchanged glances. "They're no fun..." Bebop snorted.

[SeaThreePeeO]

"Great!" Blane smiled, suddenly his face fell. "How do you use it?"

[enigma-1]

E: *sighs* Let me see it. Maybe I can tie into the signal and trace it back to this Technodrome place.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger sighed "Now I would just love to practice what i preach...but I need to find a place to stay." She scented the wind "I think it might actually be a gray, rainy day!"

Tiger looked at Don "You wouldn't happen to know about anyplace dry I could light for the day would you?"

[HorseTechie]

Raph just tossed his hands up at the blue dragon that left. But it did surprise him that Leo actually agreed with him. He thought for sure they would all be against his idea. Still stewing in his tho9ughts, he just crossed his arms and sighed in wait for the others to get moving.

Before Don could reply to Tiger, Mike jumped in to drape an arm around Tiger. "Hey... you're more than welcome to stay at our place," he cooed rather invitingly.

Don just rolled his eyes... wondering if Mike's present mood was a side effect from the antidote.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger smiled at Mike "Oh.....how sweet of you, but shouldn't you make sure thats ok with your brothers as well?" She looked at Don with a raised brow and instantly began to laugh man this guy thinks he's slick or somethin...but he is funny she thought. she couldn't belive how friendly Don's brother was.

[Kali]

Leo nodded. "You helped us out. Even when you didn't even have to get involved. We owe you at least that much. Let's get going." Leo walked over and opened the nearest manhole cover.

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter still sat in mute concentration, meditating on the location of his students. He gave a small sigh of relief to see that all in all they were fine.*

[HorseTechie]

"Ha-haa.. cool!" Mike beamed as he skipped over to the manhole. "Need any helping going down?"

[HorseTechie]

(( hey.. you beat me tot eh post, Machias! ))

[Machias Banshee]

Sp: Ah, they are bringing a guest...we shall be ready for them then...

*He rose, took care of his items, and took his mug to the kitchen. He ran out of ideas of what to do because his stupid writer was having a bout of block, so he just sighed and took care of things in the living room to make it more presentable than the turtles had left it.*

[azure turtle]

Frost watched Blane and the creature warily. "What does this 'communicator' do? And what is the 'Technodrome' that you speak of?"

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane began to quietly sob once again. He lowered himself onto the floor.

"This can't be happening to me."

[azure turtle]

Frost watched Blane have a nervous breakdown. He felt bad about not being able to remember anything. "Perhaps a nice breakfast will cheer you up?" Frost suggested. "I am still rather hungry..."

Bebop and Rocksteady started jumping up and down in agreement. "Oh! I want pancakes!" Bebop called.

"I want a giant omelette, with everything in it!" Rocksteady bellowed.

[enigma-1]

E: *sighs, feeling that this is going to be a long day* Oh, shut it, you two!

*glides a bit closer but keeps a relative distance* I don't know about finding food here, but a communicator is something that allows you to talk w/ others over a long distance.

[Storm Wolf]

Leo nodded. "You helped us out. Even when you didn't even have to get involved. We owe you at least that much. Let's get going." Leo walked over and opened the nearest manhole cover.

"Oh....well it was nothing." Tiger stared at at Leo as he opened the manhole cover "Well it's better than my box i suppose."

"Ha-haa.. cool!" Mike beamed as he skipped over to the manhole. "Need any helping going down?"

hmmmmm.....this could be fun! tiger thought to herself "Oh... yes please!" she smiled at Mike.

[HorseTechie]

Don overheard Tiger's comment about a box, and that intriqued him. Could mean many things, from a card board box int he alleys to a cage in a zoo or a lab. He decided to wait til later to ask about that.

"Hold my hands, til you get down to that ladder. When you reach the bottom, be careful to not step on a rat or an aliigator down there," Mike said to Tiger, the last part of his advice intended more to be a joke.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger laughed at Mike's comment "Ha! are you kidding they'd better watch out for me!" she followed Mike's instructions on going down the ladder.

[HorseTechie]

Mike just blinks, then suddenly screams "Aaaahhhhhhhhh!" as if to make her jump. But then he gets his head thwacked by Raph.

"Geez.. we don't need anymore enemies," he muttered.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger laughed "Donatello do they always act this way?"

[HorseTechie]

"Well..." Don thought for a moment as he climbed down the ladder. "It usually depends on how much sugar Mike's consumed. The anitdote must have been in a glucose base."

"Blech... who sneezed on the ladder?" Mike paused on the ladder when his hand touched something slimy on the rung. So he then decided to wipe it off on Raph's foot right above him.

"Aww.. Mike! Get it off!" Raph yelled at him.

But he just jumped down from the ladder, with Raph close after him.

"Baby," Mike told him instead, seeing as it was on Raph's foot. Not like they walk in the smuck all the time.

"Lick it off then!" Raph held his foot up Mike.

Mike just grimanced his face, then tickled the foot with his finger.

"Gah," Raph kicked at him, which Mike was quick to dodge. He just sniggered as Raph walked off ahead of them in the direction of the lair.

[Kali]

"Coming?" Leo asked Oni, who was still standing a few feet from the manhole, looking back in the direction that their enemies had left in.

She snapped out of her thoughts. "Hmm? Oh, yeah." She climbed down the ladder and Leo followed her down, pulling the cover back behind him. They had to jog to catch up with the group.

[enigma-1]

E: *sighs again* Look, since he knows more about this, just let Blane be in charge till you get back. Then you won't have to argue.

[SeaThreePeeO]

Blane stopped rocking back and forth. He looked up from holding his head in his hands.

"Knows more about what?"

[enigma-1]

E: About what needs to be done. I don't know what you're doing but from the looks of it, you're more suited to get your job done than those other two.

*nods at Bebop and Rocksteady*

[azure turtle]

Frost turned to Blane. "Yes, you seem to be the best candidate to lead us. So who are you going to contact with the communicator?"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger shifted into a little blak cat and hopped onto Donatello's shoulder careful not to use her claws "Sorry....I don't like to get my feet wet....so to speak." she culed her tail lightly around his neck "Hope your not allergic."

[enigma-1]

E: *flaps wings to keep airborne* That's up to your friend. I'm just offering to do the dialing.

[HorseTechie]

Don's eyes about popped out for fear that she might claw him when Tigar suddenly hopped onto his shoulder. So he had a few bad prior experinces with cats. "No... not allergic, just uh... skittish," Don replied, trying to not sound too wimpy.

Mike only sniggered as he followed behind.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger tickled Don's nose with the end of her tail "Awwww.....that's ok lots of humans don't like cats either...especially black ones." she leaned against Don's head and purred "But thats ok you don't have to be skittish of this little kitty!" she smiled showing the tips of her tiny fangs "I'm not bad luck, and i don't scratch unless provoked."

[Machias Banshee]

((hehehe, i can only imagine the look on Splinter's face when he sees Donnie coming in with a talking cat glomming onto his shoulder... :P ))

[HorseTechie]

(( *lol* or that the cat is a shapeshifter, and can be as big as he! ))

Don just nodded nervously, quietly wondering why she picked his shoulders to ride upon and not Mike's.

[Machias Banshee]

((oh jeez! :lol: Warning for everyone, random character boredom and silliness ahead...))

*After the cleaning is done, Splinter decides to pull out a pack of cards. He merely looks at the cards, then, starts an 'exciting' game of solitaire*

Sp: *looks at the author* You believe this to be exciting? You get in here, get stuck alone for who knows how long, with nothing good on the television, being too awake to take a nap, and not being able to talk to the great beings of the astral plane without threats of eternal banishment, THEN you can come and tell me that solitaire is exciting. Do i make myself clear?

*After nodding and mumbling a quick apology, the author mopes away, trying to think of something better for her character to do...*

[Kali]

"Here we are," Leo said as they turned around the last corner. He entered the lair first and called out. "Master Splinter, we're home!"

Oni walked past Leo and took a seat at the end of the couch. The night's adventures are nearly wiped her out, but it wasn't until she sat down that she realized how tired she was.
