Dark Season-One

[Brodie]

*Brodie was on the pier. The wooden planks were wet, dirty, and slightly mushy under his feet. The air was rank with the smell of dead, aged fish and fat men who hadn't washed in ages. Brodie wrinkled his nose slightly, scoffing. It was 4 AM, and Boride wasn't tired. He couldn't afford to be tired, he had to find the man who's name was on that slip paper, at what ever costs...And plus, he had recieved a slight case of Insomnia since Mitoka died.*

"Get her, Roy!", a voice off in the distance.

A shrill scream and then a cackle.

"Where ya' goin' babeeeee?" A different voice.

"Just leave me alone, I didn't do anything!" A female, Brodie could tell.

*Brodie closed his eyes and tilted his head. Judging by the sounds of voices they were less than a mile away, and the echo would mean they were inbetween a couple of the steel walled Fish Hatcheries.*

"We ain't gonna let ya' go, toots, Ya' see, our woman ain't puttin' out and we need some pleazin'....You get our drifts?" The first man was speaking again.

*Brodie had heard this kind of talk in those cheesy 'Made-For-T.V.-Movies'. And he knew what it would lead to, Rape. And no one deserved to be raped, anyone could understand that, putting people through such a thing would cause a taint of their souls, and Brodie decided to stop this one. He started in a run, his torso bent forward, helping to increase his speed. His legs were brought up to his chest while he was running, and at the rate he was going he could have gotten to Jersey within an hour, yet it was at least an hour drive going 65MPH. He got to the first of the Fish Hatcheries, a rather large dumpster was at the back of the building. He jumped it, one foot hitting the center of the closed dumpster, and he went up agian, one hand's palm gripped the edge of the roof, he swung his body around, placing one foot forward. He was up straight in no time, running silently across the roof, as he reached the edge he kicked up into a leap, landing on the next building over with a low Thud sound.*

"What the hell was that?" One of the men.

"Prolly a friggin' fish flipped offa' a stand, get her shirt"

"No!"

*There was a crane lift that the fishermen would lift full nets out of the water with next to the edge of the building. Brodie grabbed the large hook, wrapping both hands around it. He brought his leg up, his knee hitting the chain's link. He held tighter as the hook and chain started to drop. Brodie shifted his weight, flying down and forward, his left leg straightened. The chain link had let off a click, enough to make the two men look up, which was perfect. Noting how close each man was to the other, Brodie stretched both legs, swinging down and planting his feet on each man's face, the force pushed them forward, the shock forcing them to let the woman go. Brodie dropped to the wet, wooden planks as the men dropped back. He turned to the woman who was holding her torn shirt up.*

-Speaking Japanese-"Are you alright?" he asked.

"What?" She replied, sobbing.

*Brodie shook his head, having forgotten where he was, he snapped his fingers, trying to think of the words.*--Ine english--"Sorry, Are you alright?"

"I think I'll be ok-- LOOK OUT!" She screamed.

*Brodie let out a slight 'Huh' sound and turned, one of the men broke the silence with a grunt, his arm flying towards Brodie. Brodie ducked, the fist flying over his head, he jerked forward, his left arm infront of him, elbow bent. He forced his elbow into the man's gut, causing the man to bend his torso painfully, blood splurted from his mouth, dripping onto Brodie's shoulder. He pushed the man forward onto the other who was starting to get up. The chain and hook started to come back, almost hitting the woman. Brodie swung his arm out, grabbing the hook right before it collided with the woman's face. He pulled down on it and swung it forward at the two men, the back of the hook hitting one in the face, pushing his head back into the nose of the other.*

"Thank you." The woman said.

*Brodie let out a sound, that was some what like "uh-huh". The woman stepped forward, looking at the men, her eyes wide.*

"Jesus, you beat them down good." She turned to look at Brodie... But Brodie was gone, without a sound or a trace that he was there, aside from the two bleeding men...

[azure turtle]

Zap watched the whole scene unfold before her eyes. She heard the woman's cry for help, but by the time she arrived, that mysterious man took care of both of the slime balls.

I wonder who this guy is... she questioned silently. The way he moved was interesting. Could he be a mutant? I wonder if Profesor X knows about him.

Zap hovered slightly above the buildings, watching the woman gather her belongings and quickly leave the scene.

I can't tell which way that guy went, but I'll keep my eyes open. He's bound to show up again sooner or later.

She made sure that the two thugs weren't getting up any time soon, and took off. Zap's nightly vigil wasn't over just yet.

[Brodie]

Brodie had hid in the shadows that one of the fish hatcheries had cast. He let out a sigh, wondering if his whole trip to the US would be a battle. Something told him it was. He had sensed another being aside from the woman and two thugs, but wasn't sure what it was...It was strong...

'Maybe it was just a really big fish...Hell maybe a really big shark... But that's ********...It had to be something else...' He thought to himself.

Brodie slid his hand through his wet, black hair. He sighed again, looking around...Someone else was there...Two beings... One human...Strong... One...something else...Stronger...

Brodie looked around the corner seeing two figures in the shadows. One had hair, he could see that much. The other was shorter, bald. They walked out of the shadows. Brodie couldn't believe his eyes, the short one, was green... And had a shell, a damned shell! It was wearing elbow pads, knee pads, and a belt...

'Sweet jesus, it's even wearing a bandana...'He thought.

The green one, Brodie decided a turtle...a Man-Turtle... Red bandana, weapons slid into the front of it's belt... Sai's...

Brodie slid down the wall, leaning back, breathing heavier. A Turtle-Man... The other one, what about the other one? He looked. It was a man, black haired, ear length. A hockey-mask was slid to his forhead, attatched with black elastic strips which disapeared at the back of his head. Brodie looked closer, the man was wearing a black t-shirt, a 'Middle Aged Genetically Altered Karate Lizards' logo on the front, and a hockey bag strapped around one arm, Baseball bats and hockey sticks sticking out.

"Can we go home yet, Raph?" The man said.

"Not yet, Case, just around these last few builds, then back to the sewer, a-ight?" The Man-Turtle said...Raph?

"Sweet deal, then we can get down to the 'Mad-Phat-Chick-Killer' video game playin' on that Game Cube!" The human, Case?

"Yea-hah!" He placed his hand to 'Case' and knocked fists with him." We can get in that manhole back on 96th and 4, Don an' me got some boards stashed in one o' those fenced up pipes. Take us 'bout a few minutes to get back."

"I hope Mikey hasn't broken the Game Cube yet..."

"Mike? I hope Don hasn't wired it to play DVD's and talk to itself..."

"Yeah..."

They kept walking.

"It's kinda small, Games must suck."

"Dude, I told you, size doesn't matter."

"This comin' from 'Short Pack'?"

"Bite me, or should I start telling people about you flaunting yourself off as 'Raph, The Green Teen Berret', maybe 'Sewer Scout Raph', or Should I bring up you and the others inviting that 'Venus' chick into your group? And the name change! COME ON! 'Next Mutations'?! Jeez, she was fake too!"

Raph narrowed his eyes- "It was a phase, Blus it was like 1992... ANd the Next Mutation thing... It was a fad! Every one had a fad in 1997, consider your Toy Collecting fad?..And how was I supposed to know that 'Venus' chick was actually human?"

"She was wearing a suit...She HAD A ZIPPER!"

Brodie sighed, they seemed harmless.[/i]

[Storm Wolf]

( OOC:I'll prolly change writting form later hope you don't mind)

Tiger in black panther form launched herself out of nowhere and landed on top of Raph panting heavily and speaking quickly

T: Raph... Raph, the foot are on the move, down on main stre....

Tiger raised her head and scented the wind, she pointed her ears foreward to hear better.

R: What is it Tiger?

Tiger pinned her ears back and face the shadows growling

T: some one else is here!!

R: Come on, you prolly just smell fish again Tiger, we need to go!

Tiger reluctantly turned from the shadows and followed Raph, but She knew there was something there she could feel it.

[Brodie]

Brodie remembered something Mitoka saying something about a clan, called 'The Foot' but it was another name in Japan, more complex, but it was simple in America... It sounded almost childish, pointless.

The newest addition to the Turtle and human...a Tiger...Person...

'Sweet Jesus...'

Brodie also noticed how silent 'Case' had gotten when the Tiger had made her apperance.

((OOC: What do you mean 'change writing form?))

[Storm Wolf]

((OOC: :P sometimes i change my writting form...ya know third person first person....ect. so don't get confused when i do that :P ))

[ladygarth]

Kat who had patroling the streets on her own as Warrior Kitty approached Raph who had a black panther next to him. Kat knew the panther was Tiger.

[Brodie]

Brodie lets out a sigh as the Animal people walk away. He beginds to think there are way to many ANimal People running around this city...

He turns to the wall behind him and jumps up, being totally silent he stands upon the roof. He looks around, deciding to continue his search for Hamato Yoshi. He ran silently across the roof of the fish building, leaping from one to the next, his feet lightly tapping, making an almost inaudiable sound as he lands. He reaches one of the last buildings, noting the rising sun, remembering back to his time in Japan...

Below him he heard the voices.

"You guys go ahead, I'll catch up." The only human, Casey.

"Fine by me, Space Case." The Turtle.


Casey settled back as the others went on, and turned around, looking up. As he did the light hit onto Brodie's face. Brodie noticed he was spotted, and decided to fall back. Brodie turned, running across the building, trying to stick to the shadows, but the sun light was hitting the steel roof behind each of his foot steps, he was being slightly quicker than the gaining sun.

Casey was following, not caring about the sunlight, why did he need to? He was sticking to the gaps inbetween the buildings, He suddenly knew he couldn't catch up to the Running Man. He looked up, his eyes following Brodie closely...Something above the building Brodie was on... A crane with an overly large hook and chain(yes, much bigger than the one Brodie had used before). This hook was almost as big as the roof, and with enough weight to make a pretty big hole in the roof...

Casey ran to the crane's control booth, but it was locked.

"Damn it." He mumbled.

Brodie was still running across the roof, almost past the center of the roof. Casey pulled a hockey stick from his golf bag, stepping back...He swung... Glass shattered, glistening with the morning light. Brodie skidded to a stop, looking back at the crane, and Casey. He started running again.

Casey made a hole in the side of the crane control booth. He stuck his arm out, the hockey stick held tightly in his hand. He grabs the 'Release' shifter with the curve of his stick, releasing the crane.

The hook and chain fell, a loud 'Chik-Chik-Chik' sound filled the air just before the hook and chain smashed into the center of the roof Brodie was running across. The Chain snapped through the wooden supports that were under the steel, causing the wooden planks at the opposite end to be uprooted. Brodie stopped, near the edge of the building. The side of the roof was lifted, throwing Brodie into the air, backwards to where he came.

In perfect American-"SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII---"

Brodie fell onto the next building behind he one with the gap in the center. He slid across the roof, sliding right off the opposite end onto the wood planks below.

"....ugh...." Brodie moaned, as he slipped in and out of conciesness

Casey walked up to him, poking him with his hockey stick.

"Hey, Tonto, get up."


Brodie dropped back, knocked out cold...Finally... A slip of paper fell from his belt pouch, Casey picked it up. He read it and looked back at Brodie.

"What does he want with Splinter....?"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger let Raph and the others head to where the foot were congregating , but with her curious nature she slunk back and headed to find Casey.

She found him standing over an uncounsious young man "Casey....what did you do!?" she cryed out, then she cautiously sniffed the young man and pinned her ears back "This was the goon who was hidding in the shadows!"

she growled, she went to take a swipe at the young man and Casey caught her paw.Tiger looked at Casey confused then he slipped the papper in front of her face "What does he want with Master Splinter?" Casey shrugged "beats me."

Tiger took a few steps closer to the unconcious young man to get a better look "careful....he could be dangerous!" Casey said from somewhere behind her, but she kept moving in until her nose was inches from his.....

[azure turtle]

Zap flew through the air, making her rounds one last time. She noticed a group of people silently darting about the buildings. Upon closer inspection she realized that one of them looked like a giant turtle.

What in blazes is that? she thought. Her curiousity captured, Zap began to follow the strange creatures.

[Brodie]

Brodie was slowly coming to. As Tiger got closer he jerked his arm up, grabbing her neck, his other hand sliding by his belt and pulling out a Shuriken. Spinning it between his fingers he holds it directly to her juggular.

"Leave me be, Woman." He snapped in perfect english.

Casey let out a sigh, slapping his forhead, yet not making a move to help the threatened woman.-"See? Told you he might be dangerous...But did you listen? No. Does anyone ever listen? Noooooooo...Jesus.."

[R-iZZy]

Stealth (read about him in the topic titled "Wanna meet my new RPG character? Well, here he is!!!" under the RPG forum) noticed the flying figure in the air. As he stood atop the elevated building, he reached behind his jacket to retrieve for his sniple rifle and looked at the flying object through his rifle's scope.

"I don't know who or what the hell you are," he said. "but I know what you will be!"

Stealth aimed at the figure and snickered. He thought for a second, as a mild breeze pushed against his cheek. He snickered a bit, and lowered the sniper rifle, showing mercy. He reached inside his leather jacket's pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He grabbed a stick and sticked it inside his mouth. He reached into his pocket, again, and pulled out a lighter. He lit up the cigarette and began to inhale the smoke. He placed the pack of cigarettes and the lighter back in the pocket and exhaled the smoke.

"I have a pretty good feeling we'll see each other again!" Stealth said. "Ain't no way God'll make me see sh*t like this and let it pass by. ::chuckled:: Maybe I'll have myself a lil one-on-one confrontation with the freak!"

Stealth ran across the building and hopped off of the edge, landing on the building beside. He pulled out a pair of binoculars, and attempted to follow the flying figure. He noticed the figure was a woman in a rubber, red body suit. He smirked at the flying figure.

"Who knows," Stealth began, "maybe this blonde could be worth something. I'll check her out!"

Stealth laughed methodically, and hopped from building to building, stalking the flying mistress.

((OOC: Weird, but I'm trying. Anyway, get used to having this in past tense.))

[Brodie]

((Sweet, aa guy who wants to kill me! Nice post, and don't worry about the passed tense, that's what I use.))

[R-iZZy]

((OOC: ok... just making sure. and don't worry about stealth, he's a confused being, insecur of his life.))

[enigma-1]

*changing back to her normal color again, 38, a little silver, lizard-like creature appears near Casey's foot*

Maybe that's because most of what comes out of your mouth is usually garbage.

Casey: *glares down at her* No one asked you, twerp.

[Brodie]

Brodie stands, his arm wrapped around Kat's neck, one swift move and he could snap her feline neck. He holds the sheriken to her neck still, just in case. He steps back from Casey and the tiny Lizard.

Brodie utters two words in english. "Hamato Yoshi."

"Calm down, dude... Let her go." Casey held up his hands, showing hat he meant no harm.

Brodie started to speak in Japanese, Growling and yelling.

"What? I don't get you, English, please... Hamato, it's Splinter! I know Splinter!" Casey tried to reason.

"...Spl-...Splinter?" Brodie replied.

"Yeah, big rat dude! I know him!"

"He is no rat, idiot! He must be more, Master Motaka knew him, he must be great!"

"Dude, Hamato Yoshi is Splinter, he's a rat now, he was human, now he's not."

"...Impossible..."

[R-iZZy]

Stealth followed the figure, as she soared through the air, gracefully. But from the shrilling scream below, Stealth altered his attention to the floor below, noticing a thick bodied male had a woman pinned against a wall in an alley way. As Stealth looked on, he had totally forgotten about his target, but ignored the female. The brute, down below, brushed against an innocent female's hair and began to laugh.

"Is there somethin' 'bout men not gettin' their own lady?" Stealth questioned himself.

It finally occured to him that he needed a bit of action, and took out his sniper rifle. He smirked a bit, as he looked into his sniper scope. After a bit of adjusintg, the head of the brute was centered in the target. Stealth settled his finger and chuckled. A sudden rush surged through his finger, as he pulled the trigger. The bullet soared through the air, and hit a target. It appeared that the brute was not quite dead.

"What the hell?!" the brute yelled.

Stealth only replied by saying, "Perfect!" He looked below to see the brute walk around, dazed and confused. The woman broke free, but the brute caught her arm and jerked her back toward him. Stealth snickered a bit more, and aimed his sniper rifle.

"Now the part gets fun!" Stealth said.

He aimed at his target and fired the gun. As the bullet took flight, Stealth placed his sniple rifle back in its place on the leather jacket, and began to run toward a ladder, which was connected to the building. He climbed down, grabbing rung by rung. After touching the floor, he noticed the brute fallen, clutching his shoulder.

"Good Lord Almighty!" the brute yelled. "Who or what in the hell are you?"

"Everything you'd hate me to be!" Stealth replied.

The brute gawked at Stealth wide-eyed, with horror strucken in his expression. He inched his way backward, then hesitated on his next remark.

"W... w... why don't you kill me?" the brute asked, hesitantly.

"Is that supposed to be considered a bluff?" Stealth asked. "Because I would be more than willing to fulfill that role."

"You won't kill me, will you?" the brute bluffed.

"Get up!" Stealth said.

Stealth offered a hand to the brute, and the brute accepted. But other things surged through the brute's mind, and a colossal fist swung at Stealth's temple. Stealth ducked the attack and chuckled. The brute stared at Stealth in fear, but took anothe swing. Stealth threw himself on the floor and swept the brute from under his feet. The brute yelled in pain, as his blood began to drench the shoulder area of his shirt. Stealth picked himself up and stared at the fallen assailant in disgust.

"Brave you attempt to be," Stealth began. "But foolish you will always remain!"

Stealth reached for an object in his belt, and pulled out the handle to something.

"Are ya gonna taser me to death? ::laughs hysterically::" the brute taunted.

Stealth laughed back, and mashed a button on the handle. A glowing blade rushed out of the handle, and there stood a glowing kitana, rested in the grip of Stealth's hand.

"Would you like to consider it a taser?" Stealth teased. "Well, you will feel a bit of a sting.

Stealth drove the glowing kitana blade directly into the heart of the brute. The brute grabbed the blade, but it came to no avail as it burnt his hands. The burning blade put the brute to rest, as the brute's eyes rolled to the back of his head. Stealth slowly removed the blade from the unfortunate creep, and Stealth noticed the lady lying on the ground.

"She'll know when it's time to get up!" Stealth said. "Well, I'll be nice for once."

Stealth walked over to the woman and lightly placed a foot under her fallen body. He moved his foot around, and the woman began to gain consciousness. She looked up to see nothing but a fallen rapist and a silent alley way. After a brief moment of looking at her surroundings, she picked herself up and ran off. Stealth revealed himself from behind a dumpster, and looked up at the sky to see nothing more than the night sky staring back at him.

[enigma-1]

*looks up at Brodie* Two things: Yes, Master Splinter is now a rat and for your own sake, you might want to let Tiger go, Mister.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger waited untill Brodie began to converse with Casey and the lizard then she made her move. she unsheathed her claws and swatted the hand holding the sharp object digging her claws into the flesh, but it did not cause the effect she had wanted it too and she felt the slice her beneath her chin, but it did giver her the time she needed to wriggle free from his loosened grip.

" What the hell is your problem?" she said as she ran her paw under her chin and saw it covered in blood " I oughtta rip your throat out for that!" She growled, her green syes flashing towards brodie. Casey stepped on her tail and she glared at him "It's ok i think hes friendly." Casey said. "you call this friendly?" she said lifting her chin to show the deep laceration.

Tiger looked at brodie "So your looking for Master Splinter huh?" She turned to Casey "he can follow me to the lair, I need Don to stitch me up anyways." She then looked at the lizard "you can come with, and ride on my back, just in case this joker trys any funny buiness."

Casey looked at Tiger "man you and Raph need some anger management classes or somethin."

"Shut up Casey!" she growled at him then she headed twards the nearest manhole

Tiger turned her head a bit and looked at Brodie "by the way kid....I didn't quite catch your name."

[enigma-1]

*scuttles after Tiger, absently glancing at Brodie* Don't say I didn't warn you, Mister.

(btw, the lizard is named 38

[R-iZZy]

Stealth walked down, past a pier, and walked toward the water. A sudden feeling made him want to see him for the beast that he was, and he stared into his reflection. Stealth became disgusted with the look and pulled out his pistol, blasting the reflecton in the water. After four shots, Stealth dropped the gun to the floor and fell on his knees. He held his hands in his face and stared at his large, green hands.

"Look at me," Stealth began. "I'm nothin' more than a FREAK!"

Stealth had noticed that he left his weapon to remain on the ground, but decided to place it back in its belt. Stealth, then, exhaled the aired, but coughed it back out.

"I smell blood!" Stealth said.

He followed the scent, and down by the Fish Hatcheries, he found two bloddied figures, unconscious. One of the bloody figures moved, and lifted his head up, staring at the figure that gawked back at him. After the sight of watching a mutant snapping turtle, the figure collapsed back to the floor.

Stealth growled maliciously at the figure, and pulled out his pistol, pointing it at the fallen body. He decided to hold the gun at its position, then put it back in the belt. He instead executed a spinkick on the fallen body, then stomped on the other figure that remaine unconscious the whole time.

Stealth left the scene, and walked past a crane, but stepped on glass.

"G*d dammit!" Stealth yelled!

Glass had inserted itself into the soles of his feet. His blood spilled and spread across the floor. Stealth, then noticed shattered glass on the crane. Stealth's curiosity came into play, and hopped inside the crane. One thing he noticed, while he was inside, was that the chain to the crain had entered through the roof of a building right in front of him.

"This might be some fun for me!" Stealth said to himself.

He climbed to the top of the crane, ran at full speed, then hopped all the way across, landing on the roof of the building. He walked over to the chain and noticed a very wide hole.

"A heist?" Stealth asked himself. "Why in the hell would someone wanna steal from this old bag of a place?"

Stealth grabbed the edge of the hole, and bent down to look inside. He noticed a panther/tiger-looking creature, a man in a hockey mask, and a Japanese man all in a group. A tiny silvery lizard was near the tiger/panther-looking mutant.

"It may not be a heist," Stealth whispered to himself. "But it looks like a party has just begun!"

Stealth drew out his glowing kitana's edge, and mashed the button, forcing the glowing blade to pop out.

"It's time to play spy," Stealth whispered to himself.

((OOC: ooooo, this is getting really interesting. what is stealth gonna do (i'm hoping that zap runs into him))).

[Brodie]

Brodie halts, not following after them. When the feline asks for his name he growls.

"My name isn't up for discussion, Feline."

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger glared at Brodie. " Damnit, Kid do you wanna see Master Splinter or not!" she Sighed, Then obviously not angry with the young man any longer she smiled at him. "look buddy, i don't want any trouble ok......My name is Tiger and i am a shape shifter."

immediatly after saying this a beautiful young girl appeared where the panther once was, her shirt was soaked in blood. "look you can either come with me to see the master or.....you can stay here with Casey and gab about him being a giant life-sized rat."

she twirled her long hair boredly. "whatever the choice is make it now, before i bleed to death!" she winced in pain as she moved her lower jaw to speak. Then without hearing his answer she started twards the manhole once again.

[ladygarth]

Kat walks up to the group. Michaelangelo is with her. She sees a bloody Tiger lying on the ground. Kat draws her sword.

"What's going on here?" Kat interuptes whatever is going on.

[Brodie]

((...She's..uh.. not on the ground.....))

[ladygarth]

Correction:

Kat goes over to the group and draws her sword thinking that Tiger is in trouble.

"What's going on here?" Kat asks.

[Brodie]

Brodie glares. He clentches his fists, now showing the blades on the upper side of his hand, much like Shredder's, only sharper. He slaps his blades to the other, a single spark popping out.

"This is not your place, nor is it your business.You," He points to Casey." You come with me, help me find this.. 'Splinter'...."

"Done and done, Cap'n"

[enigma-1]

*snorts, watching the whole exchange as she follows after Tiger* Geez, what a dork.

[R-iZZy]

After watching the rest leave to another location, Stealth looks deeper into the hole, until the creatures are no longer visible. Stealth snickers and hops into the hole, keeping his noise to a minimum.

"Yeah!" Stealth whispered to himself.

He landed on his feet, like a cat, and squatting down in his landing. He stayed low, while watching the others from behind.

What should I do at a time like this?, Stealth thought to himself.

Nothing more came to mind but to eliminate what was to be in his field of vision. He pulled out his pistol from the belt and loaded his gun. The clicking noise of the gun echoed throughout the area, catching the attention of the other creatures.

"You wanna know the little Japanese boy's name? Believe me, I'll be able to make him say it for his own sake!" Stealth said. "See if you can bounce this bullet, ninja boy!"

Stealth fired the gun at their direction, watching the bullet soar toward Brodie...

((OOC: how will you get out of this one?! i know i can't kill anyone's character... so i'm challenging to see how you will retaliate))

[Brodie]

Brodie keeps his back to Stealth. Noticing being followed he noted to stay slightly behind. When Stealth uttered his words, and fired his gun Brodie spun with an incredible speed, his sword, The Bishamon, already drawn. He brings the sword up, flicking his wrist, the sword contacts the first of the bullets. The blue side blades contact with the others, the thick, sharp Mandalorian Demon Alloy deflecting the bullets. As the bullets stop, Brodie narrows his eyes, holding the blade infront of him. The Japanese symbols seem to glow in the dark sewer.

"Your first mistake, following me. Your second mistake, firing upon me. Your third mistake, speaking to me without respect. Your fourth mistake..." He glances at his sword, then looks back to Stealth with a gold grin. "Well, you will not be able to make another mistake..."

He lets out a growl and lunges forward, his speed remarkable. He brings arm back, swinging as he gets toward Stealth, he swings, turning his wrist at the very last second so the blade misses Stealth's face. The handle still in his hand, the blade backwards, against his arm. The butt of the handle facing Stealth. Brodie brings his arm across again, the blade slicing Stealth's gun in two almost equal pieces. He pulls the handle back, throwing his arm forward and bashing the butt of the handle into Stealth's face, close enough to the temple to knock him out...

[R-iZZy]

Stealth had no idea what had happened, he had lain on teh ground for so long, but he knew for sure that he wouldn't take this standing down. As he lie on the ground, he thought to himself, Am I losing it? He lifted his head up and shook the cobwebs out.

Stealth sprung back on his feet, and clutched the handle of the glowing kitana from his belt. He stared at Brodie, with fury and rage in his eyes.

"Your mistake was to ever retaliate to me!" Stealth chuckled.

He mashed the button to reveal the glowing blade, which rose from the handle. Stealth twirled it around like an acrobat, then twirled his body around like a spin-up doll. The sword stuck out, making it look like a glowing circle was surrounding him.

"Don't get too distracted!" Stealth exclaimed.

But with that said, he quickly halted the spinning and let out a glowing ray, that left the sword in the blink of an eye, and made contact with Brodie's chest, the attack too rapid for anyone to follow.

Stealth looked at the fallen body of Brodie, then looked at the others who had accompanied Brodie.

"Quitcher worryin'," Stealth began. "He ain't dead! I have a certain likin' to this one! I've dealt with punks of his speed, but not his skill. I've NEVER been knocked out in m life!"

Stealth looked at Brodie, and advised him of a word.

"Did you know that that G*d damn gun was irreplaceable? Stealth began. "I oughtta eliminate you for that, but I feel generous, and I have my dragon sword to thank."

Stealth offered a hand to Brodie, to help him back on his feet. Stealth snickered as he stared at Brodie.

"I'll get my pistol back," Stealth said. "Count on it. Now are you goin' to take my hand or am I gonna have to kill ya?"

Stealth kicked away Brodie's blade, so that it could not be within Brodie's reach, and held his glowing blade out right in front of Brodie's throat. The other hand of Stealth stuck out for Brodie to accept the hand to help him up.

"Either be stubborn and die," Stealth began. "Or be of acceptance and have your life spared. The choice is yours, but I am never regretful to make one die!"

[enigma-1]

Yipes! *ducks to the side when the fight starts*

[Brodie]

Brodie, lying on the ground, his back now wet with water and other...liquids. His hands at his sides, he looks up at Stealth, his eyes narrowed. Unseen to Stealth his fingers slide into his belt, and he brings out a Ninja Star, the edges sharp, and jagged. He flicks his wrist, the Ninja Star flying upward and slicing the side of Stealh's wrist, contacting the bone. This causes Stealth to loose grip of his own glowing blade.

"Never under estimate a downed opponent." Brodie mumbled.

He brought his knees up, kickingStealth as well as jumping to his feet, in a crouch. He flipped back towards the others, finally standing. He grabs his own sword, placing it in the sheath.

[R-iZZy]

Stealth gripped his wrist, watching the blood flow.

"You son of a b*tch!" Stealth yelled. "Now I have to go through this again. ARGH!"

Stealth picked the ninja star out of his wrist and watched his cut become smaller and smaller. This healing process caused agony and pain. The blood loss was beginning to diminish, and Stealth yelled words that television would never air.

"Do you know how much that?..." Stealth began, but interrupted himself with a quick throw of the same ninja star to Brodie's knee, entering it at high impact speed. Stealth ran to his glowing blade to retrieve it.

Stealth grabbed his glowing blade, and watched the blood flow from Brodie's knee. He stared at Brodie, and snickered.

"I never underestimate, kid," Stealth began, "I usually calculate. Did you think I'd go through MAU (secret organization that Stealth was once a part of, stands for Mutant Assosciation Underground) without knowing the basics? MAU has seen you before... Brodie! Did you think that you would always stay hidden in the shadows of silence? ::chuckled:: You are too much, Brodie. MAU had stayed silent, making sure our presence would not be discovered by you. And guess what? I was the one to stalk you and give MAU everything they needed to know about you! We're everywhere Brodie. It's just if you can keep up with us."

With that said, Stealth rapidly ran to his sliced pistol, and retrieved it.

"I'm sparing you, but MAU is dead," Stealth began. "But believe me, Brodie, it will not be too hard to find me! You want me? Too late!"

With that said, Stealth pointed his glowing kitana toward the roof in the hole, then launched a glowing ray upward. He used it as a hook, and exited the area. Stealth stood on the roof, looking down at an injured Brodie.

"Don't look for me Brodie..." Stealth began, "For I will find you, myself. Believe me. I'll explain everything the next time we meet."

With that said, Stealth threw a flash grenade inside the hole, and watched the explosion cause a blinding flash.

As the scene faded back to darkness, Stealth disapppeard, and was no longer seen.

[Brodie]

Brodie dropped to his knee, Casey there to catch him. Brodie yanked out the star, throwing it down.

"Ugh..."

"You ok?" Casey asked.

"I'll be fine, It's him who should worry... Poison tipped stars. He'll be vomiting for weeks, I on the other hand have become immune."

[enigma-1]

*comes out of hiding* Why was that guy after you to begin with?

[R-iZZy]

Stealth stood atop a building, somewhere in the center of the city, looking into a device. He smirked at a blip, and put the device away.

"::laughed:: Who does this kid think he is? Me?!" Stealth said.

As he sat on the edge of the building, looking down below, he felt a strange feeling in his stomach.

"Not again." Stealth said softly.

A strange feeling surged through his body, but Stealth laughed.

"Make me feel the pain, please!" Stealth began.

The pain spread, but it had become apparent that his body had just fought whatever was attempting to inflict pain internally. The pain faded away, and Stealth sighed, deeply. Stealth pulled back out the device and watched the blinking blip.

"I can't wait 'til we meet again, sunshine. Good thing that the sword's blast puts a knockout radar on this guy!" Stealth said.

He stared off into the night, and witnessed a shooting star pass by.

"As if the lil b*stard would know!" Stealth said.

He laughed maniacally, and witnessed the shooting star pass by, over his head.

[azure turtle]

Zap watched as the strange creatures she was following slipped into a sewer. There was no way that she'd be going down there. Zap let out a sigh and decided to call it a night. She was tired, and she wanted to go home.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger watched the whole fight intently " I am twice as good as they." she mumbled to herself, the fight was over quickly and had left Brodie on his knees. She looked at 38 then to Brodie, "So.....your name is Brodie?" Then she remembered she was still bleeding and put her hand up to her chin and burned the wound to close it "forgot i could do that!" she chuckled.

Tiger walked over to Brodie "I'm going after your little buddy." she softly touched his cheek and winked at him, then she launched herself out Stelth's exit before anyone could protest.

Once outside she transformed into her panther form and began to scent the wind and strain her ears. Tiger looked up and watched a star shoot across the sky, then out the corner of her eye she spotted a dark figure on a building. She silently climed the fire escape and sat in the shadows watching the mutant closely reading his feelings and actions to determin his character.

Tiger sensed a sadness and rage within him and was suddenly overwhelmed with her own emotions. She wanted to ease his pain and heal him of whatever plauged him, but how could she do that she thought to herself he was bad news, very bad news.

[R-iZZy]

Stealth looked down to the floor below, contemplating on what was plaguing his mind.

Why am I like this? he thought to himself.

He reached into his jacket's pocket, and pulled out a repaired pistol. He stared into the hole, keeping a finger on the trigger.

Say good-night, dear soldier. Stealth thought to himself.

He held the pistol up to his temple, and kept his finger locked on the trigger. At the blink of an eye, he quickly altered the target to a figure off the corner of his eye, pointing it at a panther-like figure.

"STATE YOUR BUSINESS!!!" Stealth ordered.

[Storm Wolf]

Tigers heat beat top speed as she was suddenly faced with the barrel of a gun " easy there big guy, I'm here to help......I don't want no trouble." she said softly

She looked at him then at the gun once more " If you put the gun down it might be a little more comfortable for the both of us." she bowed her head not really knowing what to say next and hoping he would giver her a chance to help him.

[Brodie]

Brodie steps into the sewer lair of the Turtles, amazed even more that these mutants could decorate. Casey led him into another room, Brodie stepped over toys, comic books, video games and various items. As he steps into the new room his eyes widen, in front of him is an overly large Rat.

"Brodie Mitoka...It has been a long time..." It said.

Splinter, when he was human, had viseted Mitoka many times in Japan. He had only seen Brodie once.

"....You..." Brodie mumbled.

"Yes..."

[R-iZZy]

Stealth stared at the figure for a long minute, keeping the gun held to its target.

"So, what makes a kitty like you want to play with a rough one like me?" Stealth asked, as he lowered the gun. "What can you do to help me?"

Stealth stared at the panther-like creature with a look of sorrow spread across his face. He reached for the glowing blade's handle, but did not pull it out yet.

"You're a friend of that little Japanese b*stard!" Stealth began, "So why should I trust you?"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger Immediatly took offense to his words "I am not with him, I would have killed him had Casey not stopped me!"she calmed her self down and turned into her human form" I can help if you'll just let me I don't know how, but I will." she spoke tenderly to him

Tiger knew it was a long shot and saw his hand on the blade but she walked right up to him "I am basicaly harmless as a human that is how much i am trusting you, and i am asking you to do the same."

She looked him straight in the eyes and reached out her hand to touch his cheek all the while softly speaking to him "I see the great pain in your eyes, a pain that no one should have to go through....alone." She knew that her touch was soothing and comforting and thought that if she could just touch him he would see that she meant everything she had said and the rest would come easily.

Tiger knew that she was putting her life in danger just being there, but she felt somehow connected to this mutant.....perhaps becase she had once gone through the same thing? Her abnormality had always driven her family and friends away from her so no one tried to help her through her ordeal, except for the men who only wanted to sleep with her because she was a "hott chick" as they always said.

[R-iZZy]

At the touch of his cheek, Stealth removed his hand from the blade's handle, and lowered his face to the floor below his feet. He placed his gun back in his belt, and stood from the building ledge, intentionally moving his cheek away from her helping hand. Stealth turned his shell to Tiger, revealing the spikes of his shell to penetrate through the rear of his leather jacket.

"You know," Stealth began, "If you're expectin' me to be all sentimental because you care, you gotta look deeper than that into me!"

Stealth looked into the sky, feeling the gentle breeze pushing against his face. He slowly shifted his face to Tiger, with a relaxed, yet focused expression plagued across his face.

"What would make a...?" Stealth began, but noticed a scar under Tiger's chin.

Stealth slowly approached Tiger and placed a cupped index finger under her chin, gently lifting her chin.

"So, the work of an uncaring human?" Stealth asked. "Don't feel alone, look at this!"

Stealth released his index finger from Tiger's chin, and removed his eyepatch, which revealed a severely scarred right eye. He placed the eyepatch over his eye, again, and looked to the floor in disappoinment and insecurity.

"So," Stealth said mournfully, "Which merciless homo sapien would commit a foul act against you?" as he noticed the scarred chin once more.

[Storm Wolf]

"Do you think I would be up here if i didn't intend to take a deeper look?" she shook her head

She had tried to hide her scar but Stealth had spotted it and questioned her about it after showing her his own.

Tiger didn't know if she should tell him about her accident but it slipped past her lips and she looked ashamed as she talked about it " Well Brodie had the blade to my......It was a miscalculation, it was all my fault." she said quickly trying to cover up the name she had spoken

she put her head down "please continue with what you were saying before....my scars are not important and I am here to help you not myself."

Tiger thought about what she had just said most of her scarring was on the inside and some of it had not healed fully. She wondered if perhaps she was here to help herself and by realeasing his suffering perhaps realease her own?

A single tear rolled down her cheek as she thought of the pain still locked deep inside her. she often wished she had someone to come to and cry on or at least someone to care for her as she often did others, but what were the chances of that happining?

[R-iZZy]

Stealth stared at Tiger, and approched her. He wiped the tear from her eye, and took a step back.

"You, dear saint," Stealth said. "Have nothing to worry about. As for I... I am a loner, a rebel, a nomad that wonders from place-to-place."

Stealth glared at the sky, for a second, and looked back into the innocent, sweet face of Tiger.

"I could have expected Brodie to do such a thing to you," Stealth said. "Merciless, but cowardly. Listen here, I should have no place in your heart. I was once sent to infiltrate bases and murder those who were sent to be my target."

Stealth turned his back to Tiger, and ran at full speed from one building to the next, feeling the air resist and push against his body. Stealth landed on his feet like a cat, turned around, and saw Tiger look in sorrow from the rooftop he just evacuated.

"You are just too fair to try and connect with a freak like me!" Stealth began. "Please kid, don't try. It would only end up bringin' you more pain and sufferin' if you learn my past!"

Stealth turned his back to Tiger, once more, and began to walk to the other end of the rooftop.

[Storm Wolf]

Tigers heart sank. Her hands were not clean either, she had killed many in her past, both innocent and guilty." The enemy must be eliminated!" she shuddered as she thought about the motto she had once lived by.

It was true she was created by the military for no other purpose than to kill, but though they had tried they could not totally wipe out the personality she had been born with. So they altered her mind and programmed her like a machine to do what they commanded. 626 yea that was her name, project 626, and that part of her still had a lust to kill.

Tigers powers were gifts born form torture by the enemy and had set her mind free in the end, but she was doomed never to lead a life with a family as long as she had them.

She had never told anyone about her secret past but now is the time she thought to herself

"look in the military files for Project 626, there is someting there you should know, before you say that about yourself." she yelled before she dissappeared in the dark alley below.

as she hurred back to the lair she knew they would meet again, she had his scent.

[R-iZZy]

Stealth looked behind himself to see what Tiger was talking about, but she was no longer visible to his sight.

"What?!" Stealth yelled, wondering what Tiger meant by Project 626.

Stealth had always refused to bond with a single person, but what made Tiger so different to him? He didn't even know the madam's name. He looked on, puzzled and confused.

Is this lady some kinda mind toy to me? Stealth asked himself. And if she is, who in the hell sent her?

Stealth had no idea what was going on. The multiple missions he had to execute for the MAU had scarred him for life, but also prepared him for the toughest challenges.

Stealth reflected on the past, where he was not always known as Stealth, but a nameless figure. He rememered when a human-formed mutant accepted him into the MAU, and could remember the commander give him the code-name of Stealth.

Stealth thought to himself, I've never felt compassion before. So why should I start now?

Stealth felt a stinging pain in his scarred eye, and he dropped to the floor contemplating on how the event happened.

How could you do this to me? Stealth thought to himself. How could you betray me? Did you only accept me to kill me? I hate you for this!

Stealth held out his glowing kitana's handle, and drew out the blade. He swung the blade frantically, but at no target. After a while, Stealth felt the pain fade away.

Of all things that healed on my body, Stealth thought to himself, Why does this scar on my right eye not heal? Why is it eternally here?!

And in his head, he could hear a voice whisper to him. Give him insight on what he needed. It said, "you will have everything explained to you... soon enough!"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger stopped just befor she got to the turtles Lair, She really didn't want to go in knowing Brodie was there, so she turned to the nearest manhole and climed out. She walked to her apartment in the dark, every sound making her jump

what the hell is wrong with me? I can take out anthing this street has to offer she thought to herself

She walked up the stairs of the apartment complex to the top floor and unlocked her door. "hey, baby!" she picked up the little black cat that greeted her at the door and cuddled him.

Tiger proped her balcony door open to let some of the cool night air in her apartment. After taking a shower and feeding her cat she plopped down on her old worn couch and turned the television on. She flipped through all the music channels untill she found the one labeled "Atomospheres" and began listining to the sound of humpback whales.

Soon it began to rain outside but thinking it was on her T.V., Tiger drifted off into a peaceful sleep :sleep: .....leaving her balcony door open!

[R-iZZy]

Stealth stared at a faraway building, but behind him was trouble approaching him unexpectedly. As Stealth looked at the building miles ahead of his eyes, he heard a door close, and he sharply rotated his face to the site.

"Who in the hell are you?" one of the three masked men asked?

"You mean what in the hell are you!" another of the three said.

Stealth sneered at the figure, and without remorse, he quickly drew out his pistol and took a shot in one of the three masked men's forehead. The man collapsed to the floor, and the other two drew out their artillery. Stealth sprung in the air, as the other two took their time, blasting at Stealth's body. Stealth somersaulted in the air multiple times, and landed on his feet, taking a shot to each one. One of the men were popped in the right quadricep muscle, the other getting hit in the shoulder.

"You son of a b*tch!" the man with the hit quadricep said. "You're gonna pay for this!"

"Would you like to place a guarantee on that?" Stealth said. "Humans that witness my face do not live to tell it!"

Stealth held out his glowing kitana, and pressed the button to withdraw the blade. Stealth blasts a glowing beam from the kitana and knocks the man who was hit in the leg, right on the top of his head. The man drops down to the floor, and the other man called for help. Five more men bust through the door, and Stealth charges with anticipation.

One man swings a fist, and Stealth absorbs the blow to his face, executes a sharp kick to the man's abomen, then spin-kicks the man in his face. The others brought out their artillery and balsted their bullets at one target... Stealth!

Stealth scurried away from the scene, but hopped unto a ledge of another building, feeling the wind carry him across. As Stealth lands on the rooftop, he tumbles behind the legde wall, keeping himselg ducked. Stealth pulled out his sniper rifle, and picked off assailant-by-assailant, as the others blasted their bullets over Stealth's head.

Finally, Stealth reached the last person. Unfortunately, the man had a carrying case with him, a rather large one. He opened the case and brought out a bazooka. Stealth stared at the item, wide-eyed, and began to run. The man set his weapon up, and launched the rapid missile. Stealth noticed a balcony, and hopped to it, as the missile trailed along. Stealth rose in the air and clung on to the balcony, noticing an opened door. He couldn't have a human witness his face. What would this person think?

The missile approached, and Stealth pulled out his pistol. No other alternative came to him, and he shot the pistol at the approaching missile. After the bullet came in contact with the missile, it exploded with a thunderous boom, right behind Stealth's back.

Now Stealth clung on to the balcony with one hand. Hopefully, the exploding missile would have caught the attention of someone. But what would it matter? His only hope was to see if the resident of this room was a mutant.

[enigma-1]

*after the business w/ Brodie, wanders about in the night, just trying to find some dinner*

Hmm, now where's a cockroach when you need one?

*clings to a wall, using her camaflauge techniques to remain unseen*

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger raced across the battlefield dodging the bullets like she had been taught to. Suddenly she reached a small group of tents "kill him.....I don't care how just do it!" the orders ran through her mind clearly as she entered the enemy leaders tent. She snuck up behing him and grabbed him by his hair, she listened to his pitiful whining befor she sliced his throat clean through, loving every gruesome minute.

Tiger awoke with a start, panting and sweating "It was just a dream!" she sighed, Then a loud explosion filled the air. "What the.....?" she grabbed her hand gun from the side table when she spotted something dangling from her balcony, She slowly made her way across the room and leaned over the the railing pointing the gun at the dark figures head.

Tiger was about to pull the trigger when she recognized who it was "Oh my god.......!" she quickly grabbed Stealth and pulled him in using all of her human strength, but before she could return to the safety of her apartment a shot rang out and the bullet grazed her shoulder.

With the speed of a cheetah she pulled up her gun and fired it into the darkness, she heard the body drop and closed the balcony door satisfied with her sharp shooting technique.

[R-iZZy]

Stealth lain on the floor, a mess, and attempted to stand on his feet. Apaprently, the event was just too much for him. He stared at the figure, which saved his life.

A human! Stealth thought to himself. No, it's the tiger lady!

Stealth looked at Tiger's shoulder, noticing a bit of blood evacuate from the bullet's wound. Stealth looked back to see who had done it. Of course it appeared to him as one of the masked men.

"Are you okay?" Stealth asked Tiger, and then fell to the ground. But before he could go into his sleep, he whispered out the last words that were on his mind. "What do you mean Project 626?"

Stealth felt a burning sting, that felt like it was eating away at his flesh. He felt his cheek, and noticed a stain of blood stood in his hands, and after that moment, he collapsed on Tiger's floor.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger looked at Stealth sadly "What have you gotten your self into?" somehow she managed to carry him to her bed and lay him on it.

she took his wepons and layed them in the corner of the room "There will be no need for thoes here." she said to herself, to scared and hyper to sleep she pulled up her recliner chair and sat the whole nite through with him waiting for him too wake.

While tiger waited she thought of a way she could tell him about Project 626....and how she was once this evil project that had a lust for killing and fed off others fear. How would he react to this she wondered silently.

She watched him for a while and listened to his labored breathing, then she remembered her own wound which was still slightly bleeding Nah.....after he wakes then i will attend to myself she yawned and layed her head on the chairs armrest

[R-iZZy]

Stealth fell through a hole, leading to things he had seen in his past. He found himself landing in the center of rubble, once a building he knew. He noticed what the building was. It was the MAU base, now destroyed, and he knew who did it.

All of a sudden, the floor engulfed Stealth into another location. There, he stood on a floating platform, and there stood the one man who brought him into the MAU. The one that showed him the ropes, and then turned against him.

"This place seems oh so familiar, does it not?" the human-formed mutant said, with his British accent.

"Why did you do it, Rex?!" Stealth yelled. "You and me were like peas in a pod! Why did you do it!"

"Well, I did say everything would be explained, didn't I?" Rex said. "You seek the answer to why you cannot rid of that hideous mark across your right eye."

Stealth growled at Rex, but knew not to tamper with Rex, a mutant that was just too quick for anything to touch him. Rex was top-notch priority for the MAU, and grew fond of Stealth at a time.

"(laugh) You don't seem to be au fait with the idea of me terminating the MAU," Rex said. "It was your faux pas to ever put full trust into someone you barely know!"

"Barely know?!" Stealth yelled, "How can you say I barely knew you?"

"If you knew me enough, you would have understood why I caused that mark upon your face," Rex said. Rex drew out a long, metal blade. "And if you knew me, you'd understand why I am preparing to put another scar on your left eye!"

Stealth froze, and in the blink of an eye, a blade came across his left eye, a long, metal flash slicing through his eye!

Stealth woke up quickly and reached for his pistol, but had no luck finding it. He jolted out of bed and stared at Tiger with eyes of horror and a disturbed face.

"Where is he?" Stealth yelled at Tiger. "WHERE IS HE?!!!"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger jumped when Stealth popped up and began to shout. She sat next to him on her bed "Easy there is no one else here, its just us!" she reashured him. She rubbed his shoulder softly "I promis you no one else is here."

Then her curiosity got the better of her "Who is HE??" she asked cautiously.

What frightened him so She wondered to herself as she attempted to calm Stealth from his nightmare. such a strong figure.....frightened?? she thought

[R-iZZy]

Stealth rubbed his eyes, and felt his heart rush. He felt his left eye, but found nothing abnormal about it. He sharply turned his head to Tiger, wide-eyed.

"Don't worry about it," Stealth said. "HE is just a figment of my imagination."

Stealth thought to himself, Maybe she should know about Rex. But not until I learn about Project 626.

"I'll tell you what," Stealth said, placing a hand on her knee. "If you care to explain what the hell you were talkin' about with this Project 626, then I'll explain all you need to know about who I was yellin' for."

Stealth stared into the lovely eyes of Tiger, awaiting a reply from her tender lips.

[Storm Wolf]

Stealth rubbed his eyes, and felt his heart rush. He felt his left eye, but found nothing abnormal about it. He sharply turned his head to Tiger, wide-eyed.

"Don't worry about it," Stealth said. "HE is just a figment of my imagination."

Stealth thought to himself, Maybe she should know about Rex. But not until I learn about Project 626.

"I'll tell you what," Stealth said, placing a hand on her knee. "If you care to explain what the hell you were talking' about with this Project 626, then I'll explain all you need to know about who I was yellin' for."

Stealth stared into the lovely eyes of Tiger, awaiting a reply from her tender lips.



Tiger sighed “Well…….626 was created in a military base laboratory, a test tube baby created specifically for war, but almost rejected because it was female.” she paused and looked at the floor “ 626 was trained in sniping and heavy artillery usage, but became an expert in hand to hand combat, because of her lust to watch her victims slowly and painfully die. Being female was also another advantage as she was often sent in to seduce the enemies men, then after she got the information she needed she’d mutilate them beyond recognition.” She pause as pictures of the many bodies flashed through her mind, “Luckily 626 was not really a killer, but had to be injected with a serum every week to curb her real personality and to keep her following commands.”

Tiger lifted the mattress up and pulled out a hunting blade and a vanilla folder. She unsheathed the blade and looked into her own green eyes “This blade has taken thousands upon thousands of lives both innocent and guilty alike.” She sheathed it and handed it to Stealth , next she picked up the folder “pictures of 626’s doings, but I am sure you have seen things much more gruesome in your life.” She handed him the folder “If you have any other questions just ask.”

Tiger stood up and turned her back to Stealth for some time before she spoke again “If you haven’t already figured it out I am 626.” Then remembering that she hadn’t yet introduced herself she turned to him “ But you can call me Tiger.”

[enigma-1]

*heads on, still looking for her dinner*

[R-iZZy]

Stealth stared at Tiger, confused, mind-bent. He took the blade out of its sheath and stared into the blade.

"So, you were sent to kill as well!" Stealth yelled in amazement, yet confusion. "But... but I don't understand. (sigh) Look Tiger, that was teh past, if you ever regret committing actions you could not control. It was not your fault at all, it was the military's. If it is eating at you all the way to the core, don't worry. That was not your faux pas, but the military's."

Stealth leans toward Tiger and pats her on the shoulder, but contemplated on Rex. He held his hand on her shoulder, unknowingly, thinking of his past.

Now it's your turn, Stealth, Stealth thought to himself. He recognized his hand had remained on her shoulder, and quickly removed it. Stealth stared into Tiger's eyes, then Stealth looked to his toes. All of a sudden, he could here a growl. Apparently, it came from his mouth, and he began to explain his bottled secret.

"Tiger, you might wanna grab a bucket of popcorn," Stealth began, "Okay, I was once an experiment from TGRI. I heard four other guys went through the ooze i was experimented with. (pauses) Well anyway... I was gettin' pretty sick of the joint and broke free." A flash of Stealth murdering all that experimented went through his mind. "I killed every single one of those b*tches that held me and robbed me of my freedom, and I dare not regret doing it, either. Anyway, after that incident, I moved from location to location in this city, until I was found by a guy in some trenchcoat."

Stealth paused for a long second, putting his hands over his face. He lifted his face out of his hands, and spoke to Tiger, explaining of his troubles.

"Well, he appeared to be some human-looking mutant," Stealth continued to explain. "Anyway, he showed me to this underground organization for mutants to infiltrate human bases and eliminate those who are to be executed. The organization was known to be the MAU (Mutant Assosciation Underground). Your tactics would definitely not have worked, for we entered high-security, secretive bases ran by mutant-hating humans. Anyway, the name of the trenchcoat guy was referred to under the code-name of Rex. Stealth was my code-name, of course. And he introduced me to a world I loved forever more! We both were to infiltrate bases together. We sniped all that were to be enemies. The whole point was to infiltrate, not murder, but we killed just for the hell of it."

Stealth paused for a second, thinking of the good 'ol times with Rex. The two were like brothers, until that one day. Stealth sigh deeply, and continued with his explanation.

"Well, the last base," Stealth began, "Was in Britain, Rex's homeland. We were to infiltrate and collect information from a female mutant held hostage, so that we could destroy the British base. The commander didn't go into depth with the lil diva, but who cares. Anyway, there stood the Britsh commander, back in a corner. Me and Rex stood side-by-side, ready to eliminate this son of a b*tch that wanted to destroy people like you and me. (pause) Well, I had secured the hostage secured, and Rex drew out his blade, ready to thrust his blade into the British commander's heart. But what plagued my mind was what took him so long? But the answer came in a split-second when he turned around and cut my right eye! He and the British commander shook hands, and Rex told the commander of the MAUs location. A missile was sent to destroy the base, and they let me be, thinking that the blade had gone through my skull and into my brain. It didn't though. I stood there in my own puddle of blood, while Rex eliminated the female hostage. I couldn't believe what I witnessed."

Stealth bellowed at the top of his lungs, looking into the ceiling with concealed eyes. He settled down, looked back into Tiger's eyes, and continued to talk.

"Rex ruined my right eye, Rex ruined the MAU's base, and Rex ruined my life," Stealth said. "And when I find that b*stard, he will regret ever turning agasint me! I know he's in New York, because I can hear him calling me everyday. And when he voice gets loud enough, I'll make sure his voice molds into a blood-curdling scream!"

Stealth panted and noticed his weapons in the corner. He directed his attention back to Tiger, then spoke again.

"You may regret your actions, but I don't," Stealth said. "And the actions I take upon Rex will be no different!"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger stood in the awkward silence, for once in her life she was speechless. Then without thinking she wrapped her arms around Stealth’s neck and hugged him, suddenly finding the words she wished to say
“ No matter what happens, I shall not betray you like the others in your life have.”

She pulled away from Stealth, picked up her blade and attached it too her belt “ I haven’t used this thing in three years.” she growled, “ 626 is a part of me I must accept and the truth is I miss it…..miss the killing and the bloody battles on the fields.” She looked at Stealth and smirked “I want to battle by your side…… teach me to be silent in the shadows, to blend with them as you do!”

Tiger knew her face still had the sweet and innocent look it always held [/i]it must be hard for Stealth to picture me as a killer she thought or anyone for that matter.

[R-iZZy]

Stealth stared, shockingly, at Tiger as he turned to her. He held her hand, and gave her a word of advice.

"The first thing you'll need is a strong pair of legs," Stealth said. "But I think foxes like you have it naturally."

Stealth walked over to his weapons and picked them up, placing them all in his belt. He stared at Tiger and placed a hand on her soft shoulder.

"I'm glad you see things my way!" Stealth said. "Now follow me!"

Stealth ran to the door, which led to the balcony, he looked back, watching over for Tiger to follow.

Hopefully, I won't betray her like Rex did me! he thought to himself.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger followed Stealth to the balcony, her nose twitched as she scented the wind "You'd think with all these animal senses and instincts ,I would be a natural at something like that....but...." she sighed "Ah-well" she turned around and jumped up, grabbed the edge of the roof and pulled herself up.

She looked out over the other buildings "seems a little too quiet today" She raised a brow and scanned the area again. Tiger shifted into her panther form " I feel so [yawns] tired i need to get my blood pumping."

She gave Stealth a sly look"so lets see how your speed measures up to mine...I'll race you across those four buildings." She growled "so are you up to it?" before Stealth could answered her she shot off across the first building gaining speed rapidly.

((OCC: Hey what happened to Brodie :-? . heheh we kinda took ever didn't we))[/size]

[R-iZZy]

Stealth thought to himself, Who does this gal think she is?

He launched off of the balcony and landed past the edge of the first building. Noticing Tiger was ahead, he grabbed a nearby rope from the ledge of the building, threw it like a lasso, and caught Tiger by the legs. He ran up to Tiger and knelt beside her.

"Oops," he told her, "I guess there's a new leader of the race!"

Stealth patted Tiger on the shoulder, gave a quick kiss on her cheek to taunt her, and continued the race.

"Meet you at the finish line!" Stealth said as he walked the rest of the way.

[Storm Wolf]

Tigers growl shook the building as the rope around her feet burst into flames "I see how it's gonna be?!" she hissed to Stealth. She jumped up and sped toward him when she got close enough she launched herself at Stealth planning to tackle him, but just as she was mid-way to him something pierced her right flank.

Tiger fell onto Stealth's shoulders knocking him down, her whole back half was paralyzed "What the hell.....?!" She pulled green a dart out of her hindquarters with her teeth and looked in the direction the dart had come.

She focused her eyes and caught sight of someone readjusting the scope on their rifle and ducked as another dart flew over her head. " Damn....they found me!" she shifted into her girl form once more and lay flat on the ground.

She looked to Stealth and pointed in the shooters direction "Third window to the right!" she hissed keeping her body as low as possible.

well lets see how good he is at sniping she thought to herself I am certain this darts effects will wear off, they never make it strong enough for me

[R-iZZy]

Stealth stared at the sniper, looked at Tiger's weak defenseless state, then back at the sniper. The sniper took the shot, but Stealth quickly drew out his glowing kitana's blade and drew out the blade. The dart hit the glowing blade, and fried in its location. Stealth noticed the sniper was becoming hesitant and nervous.

You crazy little *sshole! Stealth yelled to himself.

He drew out his sniper rifle and dropped to the floor. The wind howled in his ears, as he looked into his scope, finding Tiger's assailant placing another dart into the sniper rifle. But it all came to no avail as a sensational surge flowed through Stealth's pointer finger, as it drew back to fire the bullet. The bullet soared through the air and connected with the opposition's forehead. He noticed blood rush backward, and his head snap back, as he fell to the floor, dead as a chopped tree.

"What the hell were you thinking?" Stealth whispered to himself, asking the assailant.

Stealth walked over to Tiger and knelt beside her fallen body. He placed a hand under her head and lifted it up from the ground, as the other hand lifted her back from the ground. He stared into Tiger's eyes.

"Ah, are you okay?" Stealth asked.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger's back legs began to tingle, she looked at Stealth "Yea....I'm ok its already starting to wear off." she held on to Stealth steadying herself as she shook the sleep feeling from her legs "Luckily they......!" she pushed herself away from Stealth and began to heave, suddenly she went down on her knees and vomited a crimson stream.

Tiger stared at the puddle for a moment not wanting to believe it "Stealth maybe it's a good idea if you go." she swallowed as her stomach churned painfully and she put her hand on it and snarled "I am dying......in about 30min my insides wont be inside anymore." she gave him a painful smile " I don't think there is a cure either." She turned from him as more blood poured out of her mouth. "I am sure you will find some other psycho beauty to take my place though." she chuckled as she walked away from him.

:wink: :wink:

[ladygarth]

"Tiger!" Katrina cries out. Form a distance Kat spots Tiger and can tell she's hurt bad.

"I must go to her and help her" Kat says to Mike.

Kat quickly flies of to help Tiger.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger saw kat coming and stopped her "Kat that might not be a good idea, you should just forget me and leave cause this ain't gonna be pretty."

"A blood bath." she sighed as another heave brought forth more blood "but death is just another challenge." she said in a barely audible voice.

[ladygarth]

"I can't leave you to die like this," Kat said. "I can help. I have healing powers.I can save your life."

[Storm Wolf]

"Sorry but this can't be healed it's a virus and only one person has the cure." She looked at Kat sadly "but thanks for trying my dear friend."

Tiger grimaced as her stomach seemed to be detaching itself from the rest of her body, "but it is ok I am not afraid to die."

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory watched Tiger, Stealth, and the cat creature from the shadows, waiting for his signal to move in

Poor Tiger I didn't want you to be in pain, but it is the only way for me to get back with you and get that mutant he thought as he crept for a closer view of his opponent

Cory looked at a snapshot of the turtle So Stealth why do you have such a large price on your head? he wondered to himself

Suddenly he heard Tiger announce she could not be healed and he watched the painful expression on her face, the signal......he came out the shadows towards her.

"Get back!!! Give her some room for god sake" he pulled a shot gun out of his trench coat and pointed it at Stealth and Kat. "Back!"

Cory pulled a small black case out of his inside coat pocket "Tiger.....I have the cure baby, I won't let you die."

((If yall don't want me here I'll delete this post, but I thought u might like some more characters))

[R-iZZy]

With the blink of an eye, Stealth drew out his glowing kitana with his left hand and sliced the shotgun in half, watching the other half fall to the ground. He quickly held out his pistol from his right hand, and jeered at Cory.

"State your business!" Stealth yelled.

He noticed that Cory had called Tiger... "baby". Stealth had become heart-sunken, feeling the need to just pull the trigger from his pistol. He slowly lowered the gun, as he noticed that Cory was here to help Tiger, and aid her pain.

"F*ck this," Stealth said. "I got things to do!"

Stealth felt the stinging pain in his heart, and ran away from the scene, noticing Cory, Kat, and Tiger diminishing in size from his perspective. He couldn't bare seeing his future partner in infiltration and stealth assassination fall in pain, or in love with someone she left behind a long time ago. Maybe she was more than a partner of assassination to him. Maybe she was a partner of something else.

Stealth continued to run, but stopped and thought about it. He had noticed that he was already at the other end of the rooftop. He looked back at Tiger, seeing Kat try to verbally ease her. Stealth thought, This wasn't my place, anyway. He looked down at his feet and felt like spewing out his own blood. What could he do, stand next to her in her time of need? Or should he just continue on with his life, pretending that she meant nothing to him?

((OOC: Little Filly, i think we need more people in this RP, so i'm welcomin' you with open arms... i mean hands! welcome to the looney forum!))

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

ooc: that nuzzles him kindly

[ladygarth]

"I was only trying to help and comfort, tiger," Kat said as she reluctantly backed away from Tiger as the young man pointed his gun at her.

[Storm Wolf]

"C...C....Cory?!" She walked up to him "your alive.....but how?" her heart raced, she forgot she was sick, she hadn't seen him in over two years.

Tiger suddenly noticed that Stealth was gone, she turned to see him down at the next building, his words ecohed painfully in her mind. "Stea....." she stopped herself maybe he did have better things to do, then waste his time on her.

i thought he cared, but i guess as usual I am wrong, I guess that'll teach me to be with someone like that the thought saddend her, so she turned her attention to Cory "It's ok they are friends, they won't hurt me." she sighed

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory threw down his sliced shotgun disgusted, "Well, I am not quite sure how i survived I was in coma for six months, but that dosn't matter I have the Cure and you're sick." he paused "Don't you die on me, cause I don't want to lose you again!"

Cory looked to Kat "I am sorry if I frightened you, you may come closer if you'd like." he rolled up Tigers sleeve and injected the cure into her system.

"If you haven't already guessed my name is Cory, and what might your's be?" he pulled Tiger to him tenderly "Stealth..... why was he here?" he kissed her lightly on her soft lips before she could reply.

[R-iZZy]

Stealth could've sworn he stood on that next rooftop for a long minute, contemplating on what happened. He stared at the other three from across his view, yet sensed danger somewhere. Looking behind himself, he noticed it was that masked man with the bazooka, but with an AK-47 in his grip instead.

"I told you that you would pay!" the masked man said.

"Oh please," Stealth said. "I've seen things in the toilet more challenging than you!"

The masked man pulled the trigger, but Stealth ducked the attack and forced his head into the groinal section of the assailant. The assailant dropped the weapon, clutching his jewels.

"You are pathetic!" Stealth yelled in anger.

Stealth, then, grabbed the masked man by his pants and threw him off of the rooftop. The assailant's screams could be heard echoing all the way down to his concrete fate below. Stealth peered down and found a bloody mess on the ground below.

He ain't gonna make it to his family's reunion, anymore. Stealth thought to himself.

He looked back at Tiger, and thought to himself. This is to you, kid. He quickly saluted Tiger and hopped off of the rooftop, yelling with joy!

She won't think I'm dead, will she? Stealth thought to himself, as he looked below to land on the floor like a cat, his feet hitting the ground with ease. I just hope she will have a place in her heart to think of me again while that Cory fella is layin' smooches all on her face! I'ma miss ya trooper.

[Storm Wolf]

For a plit second Tiger thought her body was on fire as the cure coarsed through her viens, but she sighed in relife as her stomach stoped its hellish twisting.

Suddenlt Cory's question came to her but before she could answer he kissed her lightly on the lips and she pulled away from his kiss and his grip "Stealth......he is my friend."

Tiger noticed the hurt look on Cory's face "I am sorry.....It's just been so long.....and this is a shock.....and......and......I just want to go home now."

she walked towards the roof of her apartment complex, she couldn't decide if she wanted Cory to come or not, then she turned hearing the horrible screaming, she watched as Stealth saluted her and dissapeared from sight.

no, what have I done, am i making the wrong decision she though. there was no way Stealth would die that easy not without his revenge, that she did know

[R-iZZy]

Stealth grabbed a flag pole, which was hanging horizontally off of the wall of the building. Stealth swung around the flagpole like a gymnastics athlete, and flipped off of the pole, landing on his feet like a cat. He stood beside the fallen, deceased body and felt its flowing blood, cold as a block of ice. Stealth shuddered at the touch of his foe's blood, yet enjoyed it.

"Oh God," Stealth began. "I haven't done something that brutal in a long time! Hopefully, others will understand... (hesitates) like Tiger did."

Stealth walked off with his head bowed and his jaw low. He couldn't believe that some fellow she knew in the past would jump on the scene and replace him in an instant. Or maybe he was just jumping to conclusions. He never heard the words from her mouth, but what were words when he was still willing to save her life?

"Have a happy life, Tiger," Stealth said soflty, only for his ears to hear. "Because that is all I can do. I'm sure that guy has something more in store for you than I ever could. Just be careful on what you do!"

Stealth held out his pistol and fired three shots in the air. Just so you wanted to hear from me for the last time. Stealth said in his head. He returned the gun back into his belt and slowly turned around, walking down that lonely, dark road of hatred and rejection. Living among himself again, and the humans that rejected him as part of the society. He was back on his own two feet.

Stealth looked over his shoulder and smirked a bit. He gave one final salute, and continued his walk.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger's sensitive ears picked up the gun shots and her whole body quivered with her pent up energy. She wanted to go after Stealth, but why she thought he left me, didn't even give me a chance to explain Cory's presence she purposely tried to make herself angry at him for leaving, but the feeling just wasn't there. Stealth is just a creature of habit she told herself he probably does this all the time she sighed then why dose it hurt me so? She contained her urge to flee as far and fast as she could from the scene. She clenched her fist I can’t keep running when things don't go my way.

Tiger walked over to Kat and hugged her "Thank you Kat, you should go home now and rest up." She paused and in thought for a moment “Please don't tell Mike and the others about what has happened....about me and Stealth, the last thing I need is to be interrogated." she whispered in Kat's ear. She then turned to Cory "You have a place to light tonight, cause it will be dark again soon."

Stealth crossed her mind again, where would he stay? She shook her head he's a big boy he can take care of himself she looked up into Cory's eyes and waited for his reply.

[ladygarth]

“I gotta go,” Kat said.” I won’t tell Mike anything about what happened.”

Kat teleported to the Train Station.

Meanwhile in the year, 2050…

14 yr old Goshen was messing around in his great-uncle Donatello’s lab. Uncle Donnie didn’t like it but he wasn’t there right now. Goshen came upon a strange machine. It was small but big enough so a person could sit in it. Next to the seat was what looked like a computer. Goshen realized what it was-Donnie’s old time machine that he built a long time ago. He took a seat but as he did he accidentally hit a button. Suddenly, the computer like object came to life a door closed, locking Goshen inside. A year flashed on the board-2004, the last time it was used.

“Initiating Return Trip.” The computer voice said. “Please keep all body parts inside the time machine at all times and remain sitting.”

“No, how do I stop this thing!” Goshen shouted.

He started pushing buttons at random. Nothing worked.

“He we go!” the computer voice said.

The time machine with Goshen vanished. A split second later he arrives on the docks near where Tiger and Cory are.

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

"Naw, I don't have a plce to stay" he smiled showing his perfect pearly whites.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger took off at a run and landed on the next building then jumped of the right side landing softly on her balcony, she then used the guard rail to steady herself as she leaned out and looked back at Cory "Come on then!" she called to him.

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory scanned the area one last time befor her followed Tiger and landed beside her on the balcony "This is what you live in?" he looked at her puzzled

[Storm Wolf]

"Yep welcome to my humble home." Tiger poured a bowl of cat chow and watched as a little black cat slinkked in and devoured it's food. "So, how do you know Stealth?" she asked him

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory looked at her and raised his brow "You mean you haven't seen you lover in almost 2 years and you have nothing to say other than that? he put his arms around her waist "You don't need to worry about that freak, some one so beatiful shouldn't be with some thing so disgusting!" he wrinkled his nose at the thought of Stealth even laying eyes on her. He bent to kiss her.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger pulled away from him dodging his kiss "How could you say something like that??" she looked at him surprised "Outsides don't matter, I am sure under all that rough exterior, Stealth has a kind heart." she thought for a moment "He's just a misunderstood being in a harsh world."

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory looked at Tiger his words cmae out harsh "Stealth is a cold-blooded killer, and not to be trusted." he grabbed her by the shoulders "I don't want you to go near him....ever!" then his voice softened "I am only telling you this because I love you." he bent to kiss her again.

[ladygarth]

Goshen gets out of the time machine and looks around. and sees noone. A breeze blows up stirring his hair. He looks down at a newspaper on the ground. The date says 2004.

"Whoa! No way!" Goshen exclaimes.

He is wearing silver metalic skin tight pants and a vest the same color over a black and silver metalic shirt. This style is all the rage for teens in 2050 but looks out of place in this time.

[Brodie]

((OOC:WTF? You guys changed this into YOUR story instead of the story about Brodie, Splinter and Stealth...))

[Kali]

((OOC: That tends to happen to RPs if they aren't strictly controlled and monitered. I've had a couple of others highjacked like that. Just drag the story back into your possession.))

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger dodged his kiss "How could you say that?" she backed away from him "outsides don't matter, and deep down under all that rough exterior he has a very kind heart, I am sure of it." she didn't know why she felt this sudden need to defend him, he had left her in the first place.

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory looked at her seriously. That thing is a cold-blooded killer, and is not to be trusted.I don't want you to go near him! he grabbed her by the shoulders I am only telling you this because I love you.his words were kinder now and he tried for another kiss.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger listened to his words I was a cold-blooded killer once to, does that mean I can't be trusted she thought. Cory bent to kiss her once again and this time she didn't refuse.

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory pulled out of the kiss gently and smiled at Tiger See I am still the same as I used to be. suddenly he was overcome by yawns Uhhh.........where do I sleep? he asked her

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger led him into her room by his hand "You can sleep here, I'll sleep on the couch."she smiled at him. "Make yourself at home pleases!" She grabbed some clothes from her dresser "I'm gonna clean up, you can use the shower after me if you'd like." she closed her room door and headed to the bathroom.

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory laid on the bed waiting for Tiger to get out of the shower she hasn't changed one bit, still beautiful and still helping poor ugly saps on the street like Stealth he thought Its ok though he won't ever set eyes on my baby again. Corys eyes were getting heavy and he heard the blow dryer running She'll soon forget about Stealth though and we can move on with our lives and when I get that paycheck for killing him off we can move away from this trashy city. Cory yawned one last time and fell into a deep sleep.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger came out of the shower wearing her velvet pants and a spaghetti strap shirt depicting a female angel on one side and a male devil on the other with the words "good girls like bad boys"written in sparkles across the middle, her hair dry was and fragrant, it framed her soft face and fell down past her small shoulders. She walked in to her room to discover Cory sleeping peacefully on her bed, she smiled he was so cute when he slept. She backed out of the room, and closed the door quietly.

Tiger slipped on her baby blue sneakers and headed out the front door leaving a note on the counter went out to the bar with some friends to sing be back later, much later love ya lots Tiger. She walked around aimlessly for awhile not knowing what to do with herself, the words Cory had said still fresh in her mind cold-blooded killer? Not to be trusted? "Cory had always treated her like a little kid always overprotective, never letting her fend for herself. At least Stealth treated me like an equal, like I was strong not like some little girl who can't fend for herself".he treated me like what I am, what I was bred for.

A cool gentle breeze pushed her face and she sniffed curiously "Hmmmmm...........pizza, ::sniffs more:: burgers, and some drunks too ::sniffs again:: the Hellfire gang, some teens smoking weed. she sighed "No Stealth."she shook her head and walked on.

[Storm Wolf]

((OCC: so sorry Brodie we didn't know what happened to ya, we didn't think you were coming back and in the process of waiting for ya........ we kinda began our own little story.....but really i am sorry))

[R-iZZy]

((OOC: well geez Brodie, you have to be here to actually keep the storyline going. otherwise, this would've been a dead RP. we're just keeping it afloat for ya. Sorry for any problems!!!))

[R-iZZy]

Stealth walked down the lonely road, where the shadows of despair overshadowed him. He scratched his head, but remembered Brodie.

"Ah yes," Stealth said. "The little punk that tried to show me up!"

Stealth pulled out his device, which plotted where Brodie's exact location was at the moment. He followed the location where Brodie's blip stood, and led to that hole in the roof. He dropped down, once again, and saw blood on the floor.

A flashback of this location reminded him just moments ago, this was where he had made his first physical interaction with Brodie, and he remembered the words of Tiger, pinning the scar under her chin in the hands of Brodie, as well. Stealth knelt down and wiped the blood from the ground. It was Tiger's all right. He knew her scent, her sweet blood, it reminded him of her beautiful face. He shook his head, as he imaged her approaching him with a helping hand, then in a flash, her dagger entering his heart!

"Whatever!" Stealth said. "Her hick of a boyfriend can go milk some goats while he keeps trying to imagine Tiger as another one of his cow-sized girls."

Stealth followed the trail, and looked at the manhole, where he found the shocked Brodie confronting Splinter!

((OOC: Brodie started the RP, he needs to be back in it))

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger walked alone silently, she couldn't remember a time when she had ever felt this torn, this confused, or this lonely. She scented the wind often trying to find some traces of Stealth, but she could find nothing. She walked nowhere for the longest time lost in her own thoughts and feelings. She finally realized that she wasn't walking nowhere she was retracing her steps, back to the very spot her and Stealth had met.

Tiger climbed the fire escape and stood for a moment remembering every thing exactly how it was. She sat quietly as the flashbacks flooded her mind, trying to decide on what to do.

Finally she made the decision to go after Stealth, but what would she say? Surely he didn't feel the same way she did, or did he?

"So many assumptions, and yet it is not right to go on any of them." she sighed

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

ooc: god nija turlte ur mean (sp)(spelling0lo well god i don't know what to write post later bye

[Storm Wolf]

((OCC: filly thats not mean...you are a hick in RL :embarass: anyways...lol

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory woke to the eerily silent apartment, he took a look around and found a note left by Tiger. “Out with friends?” he scratched his head “maybe she has changed a little.” at least she won’t be around when I finish her mutant friend off he thought

Cory walked three blocks and turned down a small dark alley where he had last parked his bike, “Vincent, Cory!” his voice boomed in the tiny space. Suddenly the alley was lit up by the bikes headlights, then a woman’s voice “Good evening, Cory.” Cory tripped as he started for the bike “What the……?” an unconscious man lay on the ground. Cory kicked the man “Teach you to try in steal…..won’t it?” He jumped on the bike and pushed a glowing button, a map popped onto the screen “You know who were tracking!” He hissed to the bike, and a red blinking dot appeared on the screen.

Cory revved the bikes motor and took off in the direction indicated by the bike.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger herd a rumble in the far distance and she looked up to the sky “Thunder, but there are no storm clouds?” she was puzzled even more so when the sound became louder and louder until it was practically on top of her. Her eye’s picked up the jet black motor bike “Cory??.... What are you up to?” she said to herself, Stealth temporarily disappeared from her mind as she decided to stalk Cory instead.

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory pulled his bike up into a dark alley near Stealth's location to hide it from view. He grabbed his machine gun and katana putting them into his belt as he walked out of the shadows. "Alright, it's time to finish this freak!" he said to himself

"Stealth, come out and play, cause I got a job to do!" he called, knowing Stealth was nearby "You wouldn't dare turn down a challenge from me, would you?"

There is only room for one in Tiger's heart, and that can't be a freak like him. he smiled thinking about how satisfying it was going to be to get that large paycheck and take off with his girl, and just for spilling a little useless mutant blood.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger caught up just in time to see Cory putting his weapons into place "What is he doing with those?"she panted to herself.

She slipped into the shadows behind Cory I know I'm not very good at this type of thing, but I'll just consider this my first lesson she had her breathing under control but it seemed her heart was loud enough for the whole city to hear.

She heard Cory call Stealth which was no surprise to her, she knew he was here for him all along though she did not want to admit it at first. Cory has changed so much since I had last seen him, It's like being engaged to a total stranger. she shook her head, knowing it was true.

Tiger thought back to when she had first meet Stealth, what had given her position away? She couldn't remember so she stood as still as she could, her curiosity gripped her she wanted to see what was going to happen next.

[R-iZZy]

Stealth could hear a voice ring in his ears. The voice of a familiar person. But who? He thought of Tiger, as he peered at Brodie, who was speaking with Splinter. Stealth didn't read the words, until the echo said it clearly, Stealth, come out and play! He heard those words clearly, and smirked as the words bounced off of the areas walls. Stealth looked up at the giant hole in the roof, and lept toward it, grabbing the edge of the hole. He climbed his way up, mustering all of his strength. He finally made it to the roof, both feet planted on the ground.

"Who seeks for me?!" Stealth yelled. "Who seeks for meeeeee?!"

Stealth walked to the edge of the roof to find a human with a kitana and a machine gun.

Goody, a toy! Stealth thought to himself. He pulled out his pistol, and drew out his glowing kitana blade's handle, then mashed the button to draw out the glowing blade. He soared off of the roof and somersaulted multiple times in teh air, before landing on his feet like a cat. He stood before Cory, his face shoved in his assailant's.

"Is it me you want?" Stealth bumped chests with Cory. "Because I'm right here!"

Stealth stepped back and held his blade up, and his pistol held in his right hand!

"If your job is to eliminate me..." Stealth began, "Then YOU'RE FIRED!!!"

((OOC: sorry about the hick comment. my excuse is that was stealth, not me! :tlol: ))

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory pushed Stealth backwards "You wanna get outa my face, before you give me some kinda sickness, freak!" he pulled his katana "Lets put your words to the test then!"

"You were a fool to leave Tiger, she probably wouldn't let me kill you." Cory swung his katana at Stealth, then spun around quickly bringing up his gun to smash Stealth in the face.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger's heart almost stopped in it's place as the two began to fight there gonna kill each other she thought frantically, but she stayed still in the shadows, she wanted to watch this battle surely it would be one sided.

[R-iZZy]

At the impact of the direct hit, Stealth backflipped, and kicked his feet up... causing a backflip kick to Cory's chin. Stealth held his blade out as he landed on his feet. Stealth chuckled, as he smirked at Cory.

"I have one message to give you..." Stealth began. "After I eradicate you, I'll see you in hell when Tiger avenges your death!"

Stealth pointed his glowing blade to Cory's heart, as he pointed the pistol to Cory's forehead.

"Finish me like you did with my relationship with Tiger!" Stealth threatened! "Do your job, but no one said that work was that easy!"

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

"Funny you would ever think you had a relationship with her, she is way outta your league, she just took pity on you." he stared at Stealth "so if you know that Tiger is going to avenge me then why kill me?" he sneered "Then you'll just have to kill her as well."

[R-iZZy]

Stealth lowered his blade, and sudden emotions rushed through his head. He stared at Cory, as flashbacks of of his encounter with Tiger on the rooftop flooded his memory. He remember the gentle feeling of her touch, and remember the moment they shared with top-secret assassinations. He remembered her dagger, and he remembered her sweet, innocent feeling of caring.

"You will die the dog you are, Cory!" Stealth said, "And Tiger will understand why!"

Stealth couldn't help but think of Tiger, as the intentions of murdering Cory were also there.

"You are no different from the rest of the poor souls I ridden of," Stealth said. "Which is why I will treat you like one of them!"

Stealth stomped the ground with his left foot, and twirled his glowing blade.

"Enough with the chatting," Stealth said. "Let me get this sh*t over with, RIGHT NOW!!!"

Stealth shot his pistol directly on the ground, just centimeters away from Cory's toes!

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger couldn't stand being in the silent shadows any longer and she emerged from them trembling with rage "STOP THIS!!! stop it this instant!"

She glared at Stealth, then Cory a wolf-like growl growing in her throat, as she put herself between the fighting two. she shook her head as she walked to Cory "What do you think you are doing!?" her growl became louder "Killing him won't make me love you more....You've changed Cory, and I don't like it much either."

Tiger bravely walked right up to Stealth " I'll get to you later, so you'd better keep your feet planted!" She ran her pointer finger down the center of his chest "STAY!" she repeated more firmly.

She turned to Cory once more "So do you have one of your mind quizzes for me or..." she unsheathed her dagger "...Do you wish to battle me on this one?"

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory put his weapons away knowing that as long as Tiger stood before him no fancy tricks would be pulled from Stealth. "Tiger you know I would never battle you." he scratched his head "My job is to take him out, it was what I was hired to do...but for you I guess I can make an exception."

Tiger is such a clever girl what could possible be hard enough for her? Cory took a quick look at Stealth and wrinkled his nose that's it, if Stealth's appearance is repulsive to me then...... "Ok Princess, I got a tough one for you......you give me three good things about Stealth's physical appearance and I'll let him off the hook!"

[R-iZZy]

Stealth growled at Cory, then noticed Tiger, but anger always came first in his emotions. Never did Rex's feelings come before his anger. And now, it all became clear to him. Who hired Cory all this time. The mystery began, but the past came to him.

It's Rex, Stealth thought to himself.

"REX SENT YOU!" Stealth said. "Where is Rex? He has was once my colleague, and now my opposition!"

He recalled explaining about Rex to Tiger. And now the past came to haunt him. He glared at Cory's face and envisioned Rex's face in front of Cory's. He could see Rex clearly, and not even Tiger would restrain him from this opportunity!

"Send Rex my regards when you see him in hell!" Stealth yelled, and charged toward Cory with both hands gripping the glowing kitana's handle.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger's body heated up as her anger rose. alright Stealth you asked for it she jumped in front of Cory and braced herself I can't let this happen it saddned her that she might actually have to hurt Stealth, but if it came down to it she would.

Rex couldn't have sent Cory, could he, wouldn't he have sent someone a little stronger so it would be over and done with?

[R-iZZy]

Stealth looked at Tiger, but his legs couldn't stop. He was too focused with rage, seeing Rex's face replacing Cory's. He thought of Tiger, but remembered that she was with Cory, and not his trainee in infiltration, anymore. He envisioned Tiger as just another human walking down the street, but her face quickly shifted back to the helping Tiger.

What's wrong with me? Stealth thought to himself. Quick, do something!

Stealth attempted to stop himself, but ended up hopping over the two's head, but accidentally kicking Tiger in the head.

HOLY SH*T! Stealth thought to himself. Ugh... er... (hesitates) that's Cory's problem, not mine!

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory looked at stealth and said "I don't know who this Rex is and I have no clue if he is the one that hired me, All I know is that I was sent to get Tiger to take her back so my client can make her an offer which was about eliminating u but, I see she has become fond of you so now, I must kill you"He looked at Tiger. "See I told you, he has no heart, no feelings!" He put his hand on her head "He so blinded by his own self-pity, he can't even see the signs, but I can, I know how you really feel about him."

Cory shook his head "Just stick with me kido, at least I'll treat you right!"

[Storm Wolf]

Tigers head throbbed from the kick and she heard nothing but the last thing Cory had said to her and she flinched when he touched her "Shut up Cory! I can't hear myself think." she shook her head "Luckly i have a really hard head otherwise that would have hurt a lot worse!"

Tiger took a few steps back from Cory "Kido? I am not a child Cory when will you learn that?" she growled

She looked at Stealth "Look, i care about you a lot more then you think, obviously....." she paused her head was still pounding "Man you've got one hell of a kick, i'd hate to feel it from you if you were really trying........unless you were?" she gave him a questioning look

((OCC: grrrr....brain cramps))

[R-iZZy]

Stealth stared at Tiger in amazement, She does care about me! Stealth said to himself, but the question from Tiger pressured him. He began to hesitate, as he answered, but got the words to finally slip out of his mouth.

"No, not a chance in hell!" Stealth said to Tiger.

He laughed with glee, as he knew that Tiger was still with emotions for him. He nodded his head from side to side, joyous over the fact that Tiger still thought of him as Stealth and not a freak!

Stealth slowly approached Tiger, yet stared at Cory in the process.

"I'm not leavin' ya," Stealth said, and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Like I did before! Forget this jerk, he's apparently got issues with racism against his opposites. Why love a man who can only live in hate for what he can't conceive? I'm still Stealth, the assassinatin' snappin' turtle... as I still remember you as my sweet, 'lil partner."

He raised an eyebrow at Tiger and greeted her with these words, "Whatta ya say?"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger could't help but smile and she jumped up and wrapped her arms around Stealth's neck "I was hoping you would say that!" she whispered to him, then she kissed him on the cheek and dropped back down beside him. It pleased her to see Stealth so happy, but something.... guilt...still hung in ther back of her mind.

Tiger turned to Cory, her smile fading "Look.....Cory I....I...." she took a breath, and choose her words carefully. "Cory I am sorry if i have hurt you....but two years is an awful long time to wait for someone, and even if you are a racist jerk,(smiles) your still someones one and only.....just not mine." She took Cory's hand "Pleases respect my decision, If you really love me then you'll let me go, let me be happy....." she sighed not knowing what else to say to him, but hoping he would understand that she had never intentionally ment to hurt him.

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory look at Tiger "well i guess i should go now shouldn't i?" as he turned to walk away he went up to Tiger gave her and hug then went to Stealth and put a hand out "look, sorry bout that, wish i could have know u before i got hired by who ever he is but hey how about u, Tiger and me go and find out and see who this p.o.s is really i mean it and i promise i won't try to kill u what do u say!!????" :-? :-?

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger looked at Cory, his hand outstretched to Stealth as he offered his apology. She bit her lip wondering if Stealth would accept or not. Then she spoke up "Well the logical thing to do would be to work together on this." she looked at Cory then to Stealth "If your willin, and you (looks at Cory) haven't reported to your employer that i have refused the offer, then i can still go undercover and help catch this creep."

Tiger stood back from the two, but prpared herself in case a fight broke out. She doubted that Stealth would ever fully trust Cory, but she had a hunch he might accept the apology if there was even the slightest chance that revenge on Rex could be had.

[R-iZZy]

The sudden image of Rex slowly faded into a human being's face. Stealth raised an eyebrow, looked at Tiger, then back at Cory. He noticed an extended hand, and thought about it.

Oh please, try to befriend a human? Next, you'll be square dancin' with Brodie! Stealth thought to himself.

He then, imagined himself actually square dancing, but that image faded immediately. He slowly reached out his hand and gripped Cory's, accepting the invitation to finally trust a human being, for once.

"I don't know, but somethin' tells me this is gonna be the beginnin' of a beautiful relationship!" Stealth said with a smirk.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger smiled "This is great, I'm glad you two can be comfortable with each other..." She glanced at them both seriously "...And no funny buisness either, or I'll put something on your *ss Ajax won't take off!"

Tiger looked at Cory "Now, report to your employer that i have taken up on his offer." She had a good idea in mind, but she didn't want to reveal it untill everything was set in motion.

She couldn't contain the joy in herself "ooooo...I simply love undercover missions, always have and always will!"

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

looks at stealth "me square dancing hahhahahahah. no i may ride but no." lol looks at tiger "what is ur plan i want to know plz u r all ways so good with them" starts to walk away and say congrats to stealth"u r a lucky man to have her" he walked away to go tell rex or who ever.\


OCC: who will play rex as an inactive chara- :-? :P i say stealth sould lol he is good at being bad :P

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger Looked at Stealth hesitantly "Did i forget to mention he was telepathic?" she shrugged "He is not supposed to read minds without permission, but......just don't think to hard ok?" she laughed at the thought of Stealth square dancing.

Tiger yelled to Cory "I'm not ready to tell my plan yet, but it will all be revealed in due time." she thought for a moment then added "You read anymore minds without permission, and I'll break you arm off and beat you with it!" she teased

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

hey tiger i'm grown now and what huh what about beatting with my own arm what hey what did u say starts to run b/c he knows she will come after him :P

[R-iZZy]

Stealth stared at Cory in confusion. He then looked at Tiger, and shrugged. He thought of Cory reading his mind, and quivered at the thought. But something seemed wrong. Cory was a racist against his own mutant kind. Humans couldn't be classified under the special abilities category, but ignored the fact.

"I'm coming for Rex," Stealth said. "You can count on that!"

A voice, all of a sudden, spoke to him, inside his head... "I'm just a hair away from you, old colleague. The time is drawing nearer, the time you become vanquished is soon to come. Peer into the hands of time and watch them rotate. I will be there to watch it with you!"

What the hell?! Stealth thought to himself. But looked back at the two companions. He held his head, then shook it.

"I'm ready, who's in it with me?" Stealth said.

Stealth pulled his hand in, looking for a hand pile-up. Rex was his, at least to him. Stealth was focused, but was he really ready for Rex?

((OOC: I wanted to play Rex, on account of I created him. So, I wouldn't mind playing the quick villain! :tgrin: ))[/i]

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger started after Cory then stopped "Thats right you'd better run!" She then turned her attention to Stealth, she stared at his hand for a moment thinking deeply I really haven't been on a major mission like this in so long....what if I'm not ready for this? many what ifs ran through her mind about if she was ready, but she managed to shake them from her mind for the time being.

Tiger laid her hand on Stealth's "I'm with ya till the end on this one!"

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory walked into the "secert" layer and looked for rex "hello n-e-one home?" Rex jumped from the shadow's "so u r the one that hired me?" "Tiger has taking u up on ur request what should i tell her?" Cory looked at the dude and thought how could stealth say i look like that thing? and then he looked at rex more and waited his replie

[R-iZZy]

Rex stared slightly into Cory's eyes.

"I've been scouting you, old chap," Rex began, "And quite frankly, I was disappointed in you. (laughs) Do you find me an amateur? I am a man of great tactical skills, and you did not complete my mission."

Rex held out a gun to Cory's head.

"You did not possess the audacity to carry out the duties that were required to be fulfilled! Now you must reimburse for your cowardly ways!"

Before the trigger could be pulled, a gunshot explodes in the air, and Stealth could be seen with his sniper rifle in hand. He couldn't kill Rex, he was a part of his life.

"ARGH! (holds wrist) Stealth, it's been quite some time since I last happened to glance upon your hideous face! How has your eye been?"

Rex laughs psychotically at Stealth, as Stealth grows angrier.

"You're mine Rex!" Stealth yelled.

Finally, the moment of truth was here for Stealth. He needed remedies, and he needed them now! Rex was the man to give it to him, but will Cory's focus interfere in this escapade?

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory looked up at stealth and thouhgt thank go* he came!! Cory grab the shot gun. and yelled to stealth "where is tiger?" He was going to get her so if something happened she would know. All of a sudden he felt a sharp pain in his back and fell to the ground. He looked to see rex laughing "You will die for this one day" he laid there and then he looked up at stealth "tell Tiger I said I love her and nice to meet u buddy and I final realized that i was racest aganits my own kind but hey i like u buddy bye" As Cory said his last good bye he wait for tiger as long as he could he thought plz get here soon

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger heard the gunshots echo and raced in just in time to see Cory laying on the ground "Cory!" she screamed and she slid to his side "Cory....everythings gonna be ok." She turned her firey gaze to Rex "You b*stard, You'll pay for all the pain you've caused!" She held her ground at Cory's side protecting him from any further harm, though every part of her body screamed at her to leap upon Rex and tear out his throat like the wild beast she was.

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

ok u guys it is dieing we need to get moving come on plz

[Storm Wolf]

((OCC: all i can say is thoes must have been some serious weeds he was pullin :lol: ))

[R-iZZy]

((OOC: Sorry, school has flooded me, here's the RP))

Stealth slowly approached Rex's direction, but Rex only chuckled. He quickly zoomed to the other end of the location, and watched the suffering Cory meet his fate. Stealth kept his attention focused on Rex, as he drew out his glowing kitana blade.

"You will reimburse for your foolish mistake!" Stealth threatened.

"Oh, but it is you who has been the foolish one..." Rex began, "Believing that this impudent mortal is one of us! Stealth, you and me are one of a kind, (pause) rejected from society's arms because of our physical appearance!"

"You're gonna rot in hell for this, Rex!" Stealth yelled.

"Tell that to that wretched wench aiding your enemy," Rex began, "For I will eradicate your little girlfriend, prior to assailing you!"

The two charged at each other and lept in the air. Both somersaulted and kicked each other with an extended right foot. Both flew back, hitting the ground with impact. Rex lept to his feet, as Stealth sprung to his.

"I will make your other eye my casualty!" Rex threatened.

Stealth charged again, but was met with a spinning kick to his temple. He dropped to the ground, as Rex stared at Tiger. He altered his attention to her and Cory, then approached their direction! Stealth struggled to his feet, but Rex was thinking of different targets.

"GET BACK HERE, COWARD!!!" Stealth yelled.

But it came to no use, Rex continued his path toward the two.

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

ooc:: it is ok same with us:: Cory looked at Rex coming towards him he looked at tiger " Go now tiger if u really love me u will go and help stealth! Plz just get away so he doesn't kill u i can die but u can't"

[Storm Wolf]

"I am not leaving you behind soldire, you got that?!" Tiger's voice rang out like a drill sargent and Tiger took a step over Cory's body, ready to defend him.

Tiger thought about what Rex had said to Stealth and she shook her head and laughed seriously "Who really is the foolish one here.......For there are always the few, like myself, who understand looks don't mean a d*mn thing (pauses in thought) you have choosen your own fate...... it's just too bad you can't admit that to your self and the others around you!" Her mouth was digging her a deeper hole.

She lived for moments like these, when death was knocking at her door, and if death did happen to enter her house, she would welcome it with open arms.

A coward dies many times befor there actual death, but the valliant only taste death but once another training quote.

Tiger stood, watching.....waiting

[Storm Wolf]

((OCC: it's ok i know what ya mean ::snickers:: and just thought the mutant weeds got ya :lol: ))

[R-iZZy]

((OOC: Mutant weeds? :tlol: mmmkay, I'm lost. I've been gone for too long!))

Rex continued to approach, until he had finally reached his destination. He grabbed Tiger by the hair and held a dagger to her throat.

"You are a mutant, who seems to be too naive to understand that humans rejected us!" Rex said, "But in the end, it would all culminate to a blood bath. A war that was fought and won by the mutants!"

Out of nowhere, Stealth charged at Rex and tackled him to the ground. Stealth threw a flury of punches to Rex's eye.

"FEEL MY PAIN!!!" Stealth yelled.

But Rex flipped Stealth over, not noticing that his dagger fell beside Tiger's foot. Stealth somersaulted in the air, charging toward Rex, as Rex did vice versa. Both charged at each other and collided with a thunderous boom!

Rex flew back, but twirled in the air and landed on his feet like a cat. Stealth made impact with the ground, shell-first, as Rex drew out a loaded AK-47.

"It is times like these that make me wonder..." Rex said. "Why? Why did I ever become a component of the MAU! Why couldn't I help old Britain earlier than I did? Do you want to know the true meaning as to why that scar remains to stay on your eye?"

Stealth nodded his head, submissively, as Rex chuckled. Rex lowered his weapon and chuckled.

"My, don't unanswered inqueries make you the least bit nervous? (laugh)" Rex said. "Of all scars that refuse to stay on your body, the fatal scar on your right eye remains the least bit obscured from us. It was a weakpoint shot, Stealth! This scar was thought of as a scar of friendship!"

Stealth growled, as Rex continued to explain.

"You see, that scar reminded you of me!" Rex continued. "You never wanted to me to slip your mind, and the only way that scar will heal is through the reuniting of our friendship or the soul of mine to take! You want that scar to be ridden of, but what is the point? You will remain hideous, ugly, and downright grotesque! I wanted nothing to do with you! But you were more of my lottery ticket! It was guaranteed that I would walk out of missions alive, as long as you were partner. Those times are through! I am my own person now!"

"Why? You were already swift enough to dodge any attack possible!" Stealth yelled!

"And what good does that do me? A guarantee of life? And what is the point when you cannot eliminate?" Rex said. "I wouldn't take on an entire military sentry by my lonesome. I'm not Solid Snake!"

With all the time wasted, Stealth drew out his pistol and fired, but Rex was too alert and dodged the bullet with ease. Stealth sprung to his feet, but Rex flashed from his location to standing directly behind Stealth. He held his AK-47 to Stealth's back and kept his finger on the trigger, steadily!

"You have conversed with humans," Rex said. "Now you will die as one!"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger bent down slowly and picked up the dagger, Rex had taken his eyes off of her just long enough to contemplate a plan. She raced up behind Rex on silent feet and lept upon his back, the dagger clenched tightly in her fist.She plungged the dagger into Rex's shoulder and then shifted into her panther form digging her claws into his flesh as she catapulted herself backwards to avoid any counter attack he might have planned.

Tiger stood back in the shadows "I was not born a mutant you fool....I was tortured by my own kind and made this way by them, it's not just mutants they treat like trash, so stop acting like it!" Her eyes flashed with rage " Besides, it's mutants like you that ruin any chances of us ever being accepted!"

[R-iZZy]

Rex clutched his shoulder and stared at Tiger with intense eyes. Stealth dropped to the floor and crawled away from the scuffle. Rex shifted his attention to Stealth, but only for a quick second. He felt his blood drenching his hand, and looked at Tiger with fierce tenasity.

"It is mutants like I," Rex said. "That will brew up a new revolution of mutants. No longer will I remain under the homo sapien spell! And to make an example of my future reign... (pause) I will have to go through you!"

And with that said, his lightning-fast quickness aided him into lunging forward with a flying kick to Tiger's temple, caught unaware. Stealth couldn't even detect the move! Stealth looked wide-eyed, as the strike made a sickening thud!

"Die hypocrit! DIE!" Rex yelled in fury!

[Storm Wolf]

The quickness of the attack had sent Tigers body into a state of shock and she shifted into several different animals before she finally hit the ground in human form once again.

Tigers natural instincts told her to spring to her feet, but being so disorinted she rose up on shaky legs, blood flowing from her nose freely. "You may think..... you can win,..... but when they find..... out your future plans......they will come (pausese cringing from the pain) I was one of the eldest.....we were bred for the war (laughs evily)....killing me helps you.... none.

Tiger caught Stealth's gaze and shook her head sorrowfully before colapsing back on the floor in a heap.

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

Cory looked at tiger and stealth i love u guys like family but my time and efforts are dun out of no where cory jumped up and was out of the hole in the ceiling hearing tiger call for him almost made him come back but keep running until he flew to the sun and dissapered into the ligh

[Storm Wolf]

((OCC: man i was thinking about the word hypocrit last night, I don't know why, but it seems like one of the harshest words you can call someone......don't ask, i was just thinkin.))

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

hahahhah man i miss u up at teh house :cry: i got to fill u in on some stuff ok love u bye

[Storm Wolf]

((awwwww....you miss me? :) :toops: heheh! fill me in I am your personal shrink!))

[Little_Ebony_Filly]

what the heck oh well it is gone

[Storm Wolf]

(( gone??? what? hey now no accusations!"))

[Storm Wolf]

(( *yawns and does a hand-stand* hehee :lol: ))

[Storm Wolf]

*waits ever so Patiently still* hey I'm flexible!

[R-iZZy]

Rex stared at Tiger in confusion.

"What the hell is this, Looney Tunes?" he asked.

A fist came flying out of nowhere. It belonged to Stealth's, at it knocked Rex to the ground. But as soon as Rex collapsed, he jolted right back up. He snickered at Stealth and gave him a word of advice.

"If I may," Rex began. "It is important that you know never to hunt what you can not kill!"

"That's exactly why I'm gunning you down!" Stealth said,

"You were always feeble-minded when it came to insults," Rex criticized.

"Take this as an insult!!!" Stealth yelled, and threw a fist toward Rex's direction, but Rex dodged the attack and stared at Stealth's fist.

Rex grabbed Stealth's fist and twisted it in different directions. Stealth yelped in pain, as Rex enjoyed the torture. Rex placed a boot on the lower back of Stealth, as he brought him to a knee.

"Admit it..." Rex said. "I was ALWAYS better than you in our little infiltration missions! I never needed you to aid me in these ludicrous situations. You were always the extra weight I had to haul around, and that's what led to the fall of the MAU. (pauses) First, your little future-freak-of-a-wife will die... then you can have a morbid grave beside hers."

Rex looked over at Tiger's direction and gave her a point of the finger, "Are you prepared to become a martyr, wench?!"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger wiped the blood from her face with the back of her hand, she wouldn't allow herself to give in!

She pulled herself up onto shakey knees "I will not give in to you...Freak I may be, but who's the good-looking one?" She flipped her hair foolishly.

She thought perhaps in his anger he might make a few flukes, and give either her or Stealth a chance to get in a good attack.

[R-iZZy]

"The charming one," Rex boasted haughtily, "Indubitably, it is I who contains a great deal of beauty. Should I hand you a mirror and have you peer into my face for all eternity?"

Stealth had noticed that Rex was catching himself off, as he was too fixated on his appearance. Stealth knew his appearance was repulsive, but what could he do about, go to the Fountain of Youth? He was still a hideous, malicious beast who craved the blood of others to spill.

Stealth gradually crept behind Rex, but as he was but a few inches away, Rex swiftly turned around and backhand smacked Stealth in the face, then did a spinkick to his face. Stealth collapsed to the ground, and Rex looked back over at Tiger.

"Give me you next intrusion!" he begged her.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger stared at Rex and sighed "I have nothing left to say...I cannot tell you what you already know about yourslef."

Tiger's next move was not logical even to her, she knew she was not physicaly stronger, but her hand shot out with lightning speed, her nails driving towards his eye's.

[R-iZZy]

And with that attack flinging toward his pupils, he recognized the attack coming. He quickly snatched her wrist and threw her over his shoulders, watching her fly through the air and hit the ground with a loud thud.

Stealth tried getting to his feet, but for what use? Rex was just too strong for any of them to touch, and with his display of strength, the obstacle just seemed even harder.

"Is this what has become of the mutant race?" Rex asked tauntingly. "Then I will lead this new revolution of mutants. I will condescend upon all of you impudent weaklings and climb the ladder to the top. I will push every single one of you from sprigs to trees! You will all reach your maximum potential, only to serve me!"

"But what about the MAU?" Stealth asked. "Haven't they taught you anything? Anything at all?"

"As a matter of fact," Rex replied. "They have. They have taught me to do things on my own terms and my own free will. Why save this wretched world when you must do so in secrecy? That is but flea-bidden nonsense. The day I do not give credit for my own saves is the day I announce mutants inferior to humans!"

"Why not think that we're all equals?" Stealth said.

What am I saying? Stealth thought to himself. Humans and mutants as equals? Maybe Tiger can change a life!

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger was in imense pain so she spoke from the floor "You don't understand...killing, rebellion...it all makes it worse." she shook her head "Humans will never be inferior to mutants...theres just to many humans!"

She stared at Stealth then to Rex "I can change mutants into equals...I have the power to do that....yet you would still dispose of me?"

[R-iZZy]

"Would I still dispose of you?" Rex laughed. "HA! Why should mutants become 'equals' to the human race? We've lived under our own shadow for years. Mutants have been dispised from generation to generation. Tell me, my dear, which mutant can you think of that has made history in this country, let alone this world!"

Stealth looked over at Tiger, hoping that she would have an answer to his little remedy. He attempted to stand on his own two feet, but could only make it to a knee. Rex gave Tiger a little smirk, hoping that he had stumped her. He knew, to his knowledge, that there were NO mutants that became historical to the country or the world.

Rex had his hand on an AK-47, as it was held in his belt, hoping that the wrong answer from her would result in an immediate kill...

[Storm Wolf]

"So perhaps none have...yet, but does it tempt you to be the first?" She stared at him for a moment "If I please I can make Stealth the first mutant in history to do something great...I can make simple humans worship the groud he walks on...All with a simple word from my mouth." She took a quick glance at Stealth then looked back at Rex "I Can make you the first, Rex...If that's what you want."

what the hell am I saying Tiger thought to herself What exactly is my plan, what I speak is the truth, but if he takes my offer, that means my freedom. She sighed, nothing in her mind ever made sense to her...she couldn't ever remember a time when she looked before she leaped.

[R-iZZy]

Rex slowly released his hand from the gun. He chuckled at Tiger, in a menacing way and approached her. He knelt down beside her and cupped his hand under his chin, then peered into her eyes.

"You pass the test, dear." Rex said. "You gave me the answer I was looking for. Not the fact that you could make me a historian, because I can do that for myself. But there has been NO mutants to make history."

Rex released his hand from her chin and gave her a quick slap in the face. He turned his back on her and continued talking to her in a methodical fashion.

"History is not my intention, history is not my motive." Rex began. "What you fail to realize is that mutants are in a time of crisis. Did you know that there are human organizations that devote their lives to making sure that we become extinct? Do you see scientists trying to reserve us? No! You see us being put in these experiments. We're no equals. We're more of a nomadic tribe, trying to wander from place to place until we can find a secure area to dwell."

Rex looked over at Stealth, as his arms are behind his back. Rex walked over to Stealth and shoved a boot in his gut. Stealth fell to the floor, clutching his stomach.

"You'll die for this Rex!" Stealth yelled at Rex.

"Shut up, you hideous ingrate!!!" Rex yelled back, and gave Stealth a backhand slap to Stealth's face.

Stealth dropped to the ground, as Rex laughed.

"I pity you, because you have nothing in this world but a few guns and a blade. And what better than a love that will die from my fury!"

Rex looked back at Tiger. "Perhaps I can make her my own queen of the mutants. But you know what, Kitty? I'll give your little invitation a whirl. Speak your voice. Bedazzle me! What can you do to make me king of the new generation of mutants?"

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger stood up boldly and placed herself between Rex and Stealth "That Human Organization you spoke of...I once was the leader of the troops, They seem to think I was kidnaped by mutants and have been searching for me for the past three years or so...If you were to return me safely, they would trust you fully." She paused for a moment planning her next words carefully "Once returned I can get you any of the top secret files...anything you desire."

Tiger glanced over her shoulder at Stealth, at least for the moment Rex might cease his beatings. "I I will let you take command of my troops...once human has been turned against, The simple humans will be blinded by confusion, and except you willingly as thier new leader." She paused for a breath "I have great influence on my underground military base."

poor Stealth, I wonder what he's thinking in all this Tiger thought Hopefully he has learend enough from the first incident with Cory to know that I would never truly abondon him.

[R-iZZy]

Rex chuckled a bit in Tiger's face and gave her a quick glance. Who knew how this would culminate to. Whether this was a set-up or not, he knew that he was too intellectually strong to be deceived. He stroked Tiger's hair and placed a hand on her cheek.

"So... you can truly help me... eh? he asked her, "Because if this is a set-up, I will be more than willing to eradicate you from existence, is that understood?"

He quickly removed his hand from her cheek and gripped her arm.

Stealth didn't know what to think. He stood on the ground with blood coming out of his mouth. What could he do to alter this crazy situation? He was unsure of what to do. Why Tiger? Don't let him! he thought to himself. He knew that if she were telling the truth, this could me the condescending of Rex. Maybe he was a hot shot in the MAU, but owning the world was different. Sure, there were other mutants out there, but Rex's abilities were uncanny, compared to other mutants. He was just too quick to detect.

Rex brought his face closer to Tiger's, waiting for a reply...

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger flinched when Rex touched an her bottom jaw quivered, as she suppressed her Instincts to lash out at him "I understand." her voice was submissive and she dropped her eyes to her feet.

Tiger glanced back over at Stealth, the scar he had shared with her crossed her mind "Wait...How do I know that once you have what you want, you wont just kill me anyway?" She took a step back from Rex

"Yes, I could help you...but there is no guarantee my life will be spared when I become a thorn in your side." She flared her nostrils "How do I know I just won't become another Stealth to you?" She growled.


((OCC: *Ponders the meaning of the past exausting homecoming week* Sorry if my post have been a little....well you know.....they just shoved final exams right smak dab in the middle of homecomingand I'm still recovering! Thoes fiends! :evil: ))

[R-iZZy]

Rex gave Tiger a very sly look, with a wide grin across his face and an evil glow in his eye. He held out his arms and began to explain, "C'mon Kitty... what would possess you to think that I'd deceive such a beautiful creature? I can be as trustworthy as a diary."

Stealth tried yelling to Tiger, "No Tiger... don't do it!!!"

Unfortunately, Rex lashed out a pistol and fired it at Stealth's side. Stealth shrieked in excruciating pain, as his blood flowed from his side like a rushing river.

Rex looked back at Tiger and placed an arm around her shoulder, then brought her closer to him, their eyes locked. He put up a very evil grin and spoke his words to her, "Believe me... when I become king of the mutants, I will reward you the position to be queen. As for Stealth, he can either be a jester or a meat for the lions' den. I'd rather he become a jester than a meal for my pets if I were you."

Tiger bit her lip causing it to bleed "Tempting..." She said softly, more to herself than anyone, then she backed away from Rex until she was beside the bleeding Stealth "but perhaps another time...I just can't trust someone who has complete control over weather I live or die...words, promises don't mean Sh*t coming from you." her voice tone was calm

She kneeled beside Stealth and placed her hand on his shoulder, but still spoke to Rex "I just couldn't live a happy life always wondering when you might see it fit for me to cease existing."

[R-iZZy]

"You b*tch!!!" Rex yelled and held out his pistol, which contained a scope.

Rex held his finger on the trigger and a loud bang echoed through the air. Rex stared wide-eyed at Stealth, an evil glow of delight in his eye. Was Stealth dead? Rex laughed out loud, as though he were delirious. He looked down at his diaphragm, and there stood the stain of flowing blood.

He had been shot, but by who? He looked straight ahead, seeing Stealth place his pistol back in his belt. Stealth struggled to get to his feet, as Rex dropped his weapon and fell to his knee, then to face-first into the ground.

Stealth wrapped his arms around Tiger's body, needing assisstance on getting up. As he stood straight up with Tiger, he embraced her. "Glad you're alive kiddo."

Stealth wasn't sure if it was a tear running down his eye or a trickle of blood. He wiped his eye and found that it was both. The blood, the sweat, and the tears it took for him to confront Rex for so long had finally came to a close. His long journey to killing Rex was finally written and the final chapter was read. Stealth continued to embrace Tiger, thinking of his younger days with Rex and his most recent with Tiger.

"I'll never forget the old bastard," Stealth whispered in Tiger's ear.

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger sighed relieved, as Stealth embraced her, somehow Rex had opened her eye's even further and she now saw the path before her. It was a new path one of suffering and hardship for her, but in the end it would lead the mutants to being equals to humans. Yes, it would probably cost her her freedom, and her memory of who she had become, but it would be worth it if Stealth and others like him could walk amongst humans without ridicule, without shame of being different.

Tiger would have left it at that, but there was a question hangging in the back of her mind, and it itched at her untill she could stand it no longer "Stealth......what are you going to do now that Rex is dead?" She whispered to him "You have had so much rage built up, for so long.....do you have any other goals to keep you going?"

[R-iZZy]

Stealth slowly released Tiger and looked down to the ground, pondering the remedy for her remedy. It was a good question, but what could he do? He thought about it, and replied.

"Eh... start a new life. I can't guarantee that my past will be gone, but it's a new present. It's time I grew up and faced the world for what it was."

[Storm Wolf]

Tiger nodded and backed away "I have a few things to take care of myself....Don't forget me, for I will never forget you, Stealth!" She kissed him one last time,not a kiss on the cheek, but a real true kiss "You know where to find me if you ever need anything, my blaconies always open!" She turned from Stealth, a pleasant smile on her face, and swayed towards the exit.

[R-iZZy]

Stealth stared at her back, wide-eyed, as he dropped to a knee in disbelief. He didn't know what to think. He looked at Rex's body and knelt toward it. He was dead alright, no pulse was detectable.

Stealth didn't know what to do. Maybe this was where he drew the line from here on out. Tiger wouldn't escape his mind, and neither would Cory (wherever he went in the skies). Stealth had come to realize that throughout this whole situation, he still didn't know what to think of humans. He and Rex were fighting for the same cause. What would possess him to kill his own kind? But what had possessed Rex to be so hell-bent on killing Stealth?

Things rushed to him in queries. They never left his system, all near impossible to answer. Is tomorrow guaranteed? Will there be a day that he could come to terms with humans? Will he ever see Rex again? He was unsure, but this was it. And what about that Brodie fellow? Where did he go all this time? He was never present anymore. But it was all right. He was still alive somewhere. Maybe Brodie was his next target. But then again, maybe he could spare him.
