PATH OF THE NINJA: ONE YEAR LATER

[heretic888]

January 5, 2005.

"I hope you enjoyed your stay on Earth, highness. Have a pleasant trip home." Michelangelo said with a smile, bowing curteously to the High Princess of the planet Kadatha. She waved goodbye with a smile, and the Utrom transmat device enveloped she and her entourage in a brilliant flash of light.

Mike looked up at the clock. It was 5:30 in the afternoon. "Well, it's time for me to get going, guys." Mike motioned to his fellow facilitators with a nod. He removed his ornamental robe and headed toward the exit of the Utroms' base off the coast of Manhattan. A high-tech security device scanned his body and blinked a blink of approval. "Good evening, Facilitator Michelangelo Hamato," a computerized voice chimed at him. Mike chuckled and headed for the hover-vehicle that would take him back into the city.

As the vehicle soared across the water, Michelangelo was deep in thought. It had been over a year since Splinter had died of a heart attack. Even though it seemed like it happened in a dream, the pain of the event still tugged at Mike's heart like an ever-present weight. He didn't really show it, but he missed his father. A lot. How the others managed to cope with their sensei's demise was beyond him....

The 30 year old mutant immersed himself into his new job as a reorientation facilitator. He quite enjoyed meeting new alien beings and introducing them to North American culture. Occassionally, he found that he even had to play the role of bodyguard due to some of the human supremacist groups in the city. It was always exciting, and he was well-equipped for the task. He knew that the Oots had offered the job to him for a reason.

The hover-device docked onto the city port, and Mike deftly hopped off his ride. He waved goodbye to the Utrom pilot and headed toward his car. Mike began driving downtown. With luck, he should just be able to make his class on time...

About six months back, Mike used some of the money he had saved from his new job to buy a little property downtown. He had decided to establish a martial arts dojo to spread the teachings of the ninja to those who sought it. This is something he felt Splinter would want him to do, considering he hadn't taken his studies all that seriously in his youth.

Mike parked his car in a garage on the side of the building. He walked outside and looked up at the small sign. It read: "HAMATO NO BUDO", with the accompanying Japanese kanji below it. He had a very small, but loyal, base of students --- usually having no more then a dozen students on any given night. He smiled, walking in the front door of the school right at 6:00. The class was waiting.

"Evenin', guys." Michelangelo said with a smile.

"HEY, SENSEI!!" They yelled in near-unison. Mike chuckled. He preferred to run his classes informally, and this suited him quite well.

"Alright, guys, let's begin..." Mike said, noticing a few new faces in the crowd tonight....

(((Whereabouts would Leo be in the comic, just to fill me in.)))

[heretic888]

((they don't clarify in the comic what Leo's going to do with himself yet.

Do whatever you feel would be most in-character with him.))

(((okies here goes nothin)))

Leonardo sighed as he watched Silver get turned down for the eighth time that night. He missed the others dreadfully and wondered where they were.
Silver reminded him of an Australian Rapheal with a terrible addiction for smoking. He was also white and lost a finger on his right hand.

Although he missed his brothers, he missed Sensai terribly, he had to leave the memories but a year in Japan wasn't going to help him forget.

He found Silver in the airport asking the stewardess for her number, too bad she was a he. But then the kid was lost in America, he was looking for a 'HAMATO NO BUDO' in New York and he, being the helping guy he is said he'd take him there.

"Jeezus, ya'd think the shelias' 'ere wud be gentle wiv dem mani's they have." Leo looked up at the albino turtle, waking from his wistful gaze on his bandanna.
"Mani?" he repeated, raising an eyeridge. Silver smaked his forehead.
"Manicures, bruce!" he exclaimed shaking his head, leo could see the pink mark on the younger turtles cheek where the girl slapped him. He got up and tied his bandana back on, mumbling for him to follow.
Come to think of it Leo thought to himself he knows my past and yet he won't tell me his. I keep asking him and he changes the subject. I'd better keep an eye on him.

(((that ok?)))

[heretic888]

((that's fine. :wink: ))

((Yay, the RP is here! :wink: Hmm, I think I was gonna play as my character? Yes, I think so. So, I'll just roll along with this. Hmm, lesse, alone.. early thirties... okay, I'll actually RP now :P ))

Kenai sighed as she loked up at the apartment, now occupied by two college students who had enough money to buy it. She now had the money, but she had no idea where to go. She walked down Broadway St., whistling as she walked. She acted cheery, though she wasn't. Her life was falling apart. She wished that Master Splinter never left her friends and herself. She knew she shouldn't have sold her apartment, but they offered a little too much for her to reject. They bought her apartment and moved in last week. She'd been staying in the cheapest motels she could find, which meant she had to walk and take subways out of New York to New Jersey. Now she was back in New York, and trying to find a place to get some decent food.

((Was that okay? :wink: ))

[heretic888]

((Was that okay? ))

((Ummm... sure. You'll just have to explain why your character knows Splinter but not Michelangelo, and why she wasn't at his funeral.

Everyone, please don't "write in" a history between your own characters and the TMNT characters if you can help it. It will make things very confusing and is not conducive for good role-playing.))

((ooohhh.. I can't? Okay then, I'll just get rid of that Master Splinter part?
Would it be okay if my character meets the turtles like, in this RP? Hmmm, I guess that's all I can do or I'll switch to some un-used character or quit :P .))

[heretic888]

Would it be okay if my character meets the turtles like, in this RP?

((That would be ideal. :wink: ))

[Jade Green]

((Not so sure where to place Don or Miranda... but I'll try))

Miranda Ann Tezlof stepped off of the subway train, adjusting the collar of her favorite long coat as she did so. She only recieved a few stares as she made her way out of the station and onto the streets above. In a day and age where official 'alien visitations' weren't unheared of, a simple mutant like herself didn't even make a splash - especially in a city like Manhattan, New York.

She snorted to herself as she walked down the busy street. There had been a time when she and others of her kind were forced hide from the view of the general public, a time of harship where survival and freedom were the only things on their minds, it was a time of war; but those days were gone. A lot had happened since the Ultroms had landed... the Mutant Militia had all but disapeared and the Outlanders had wittled down from nearly three hundred to just twenty.

Freedom was pretty much theres for the taking, after all, the didn't have the Mutant Militia to worry about anymore and the Ultroms proved to be friendly; the only real trouble was the antialien/mutant extreamists... and most of them were usually worried about the aliens.

Miranda was one of those who had left the Outlanders, but not completely. She was still 'Greysight' to them and would always be there to lend a hand when the group needed it. She stopped at the street corner, leaned against the post and wondered what exactly she would do today.

[Hannah]

Kenai's stomach grumbled as she walked along the pavement. 'The Lion King? Sheesh, on broadway? I should've known...' she thought to herself.
Kenai blent in with the crowd well. No one cared for physical features much, so with her tan hat covering her shoulder-length brunette hair, a pair of tan denim pants,red sweater, and fur coat, she looked like any other typical human. She was wearing her best clothes so she didn't look like a bum. She didn't want that reputation, never would she want it. She sighed as she stepped into the path train from NY to NJ. She needed to find a home sometime soon.

[heretic888]

A thirty year old Mars sighed as she glanced about her apartment in the classy upscale part of town. After her father died, and she and the brothers went thier seprate ways, she found herself a place to stay.

((Mars, please recall what I said to Kenai.))

[Mars-Chan]

((Meep! Sorry. Thought it was Mirage..... :toops: My bad.....))

[heretic888]

((Meep! Sorry. Thought it was Mirage..... My bad.....))


((It *is* Mirage. Mirage, volume 4.))

[Mars-Chan]

((Then why in the world was the begining pointed out to be...ah, never mind....:dead:))

[Lady Estel]

Leo grumbled when Silver awoke him, joking about his old age.Though Silver only woke him because he had slept throught the entire journey on the train (or watever resembles one)
"i'm comming, Rookie!" The two turtles exited the station and adjusted thier jackets, Leo kept to the old trech coat and fedora whilst the 'rookie' wore a grey hoodie and baggy black pants.
"hello New York!" grinned the albino as he gazed at the site. Leo let himself smile as he wondered if one of his brothers was there.

"Hey, Leo." Silver looked at him seriously. "Do ya think they'd accept me there, I know i had my letter back saying im accepted...but what if they think i ain't good enough?" Leo smiled.
"Then I'll train you. It'll help me with pratice." He blinked with surprise as he was brought into a big hug.
"Cheers mate! Come on, lets find the building!"

[heretic888]

((Then why in the world was the begining pointed out to be...ah, never mind....))

((I asked everyone not to "write in" histories between their own characters and cannon characters. What Lady Estel did was okay, because she explained where Leo was and how he met Silver. All of this happened within the last year. What you're talking about in Mars is an in-depth, long history between your character and the others. I'd prefer to avoid that, if possible.))

[Jade Green]

She stopped at the street corner, leaned against the post and wondered what exactly she would do today.

Miranda, who also went by Randi, had found that she had quite the mind for business and economics. Starting a couple years back, she started doing a bit of stock traiding and got a little lucky. After a while, she bought an annonimous partenership in a small record business for hip-hop and R&B called 'Azrael Records'. When that grew in size, she bought titles to a few other companies and began to work on raising their profet too. She had been quite busy.

But life could get pretty boring sometiems for her. She had handed over most of her ownership duties to her 'assistants', leaving her to do the most important, (and sometimes, dumbest), work of all; and since she the type of person who - no matter what she did - could only sleep four to six hours every night, she did most of her work late in the evening or early in the morning thus leaving her most of her day free.

Right now, she wasn't bored. It had been a while since she had simply walked the streets of downtown Manhattan and it was fun just to quietly walk along and listen to random pieces of conversations and thoughts while casually window shopping. It gave her time to think about her 'business morning' or her upcoming 'business night'.

She stopped infront of a decore store, looking at the leapard print designs they had on sale.

[Mars-Chan]

((OOC: You know, I may just take myself out. Haven't decided yet....))

[Jade Green]

((Hey guys, don't be so bitter about this, okay? I mean, Kenai and mars- your stories contradict each other. How can you both know the turtles and NOT know each other in the first place? Heretic based this rpg off of the new comic series and only that. None of us with fanons can 'claim' to know any of them because none of our fanons are IN the comic series!
Now, Silver knows Leo, right? But they have a story behind how that happened: They met at the airport and Leo agreed to show him where Hamato No Budo was. That happened with in the next year and since she controls both characters, she didn't need to talk it over with anyone.
Now, if I had controlled Leo, she'd have to ask ME about that... but I would have more than likely said yes because it was a logical story.
As for Donatello, as you will find out later, does not know but is connected to Randi through his job...

*sigh*

Here's my thing: Are your characters' hisotries SO set in stone that you can't try them out in a senario where they DIDN'T know the turtles? Is that so hard to do? C'mon, yer writers, right? USE YOUR ABILITIES AND THINK UP A HISTORY FOR THEM NOT DEALING WITH THE TURTLES THEMSELVES!))

[Hannah]

((Aye, I did. Lookie at the postie.))

[Mars-Chan]

((OOC: The only reason why I said that is because I'm keeping my eye on other rp's and this one will probably take the cake since I haven't done a Mirage thing before. :D So sorry to upset anyone. And now...I take my leave.... *bows and leaves*))

[Jade Green]

Hey, I don't know all that much about Mirage comics, and I still role play them...

[Hannah]

((Mars! Don't leave! :( You can still RP, I don't know much about those comics. I never even read one, but I have the basics down. Come on, don't leave!))

[Jade Green]

((Mars! Don't leave! :( You can still RP, I don't know much about those comics. I never even read one, but I have the basics down. Come on, don't leave!))

Ya, just 'cause ya can't be the guy's sister doesn't mean you can't be Kenai's or something.

[Mars-Chan]

((OOC: Well...I guess I could TRY and be Kenai's sis...I'm sure she'd love that... :lol: Okily-dokily...I'm back in. Just...ignore the last post I made....just someone give me a place to leap in and I will. :P))

[mod edit by Machi: taken care of... :D]

[Lady Estel]

(((I don't own any of their comics mars so in one way im kinda confused on how Leo was in. :( Anyways I was thinking about this and its sumfin ta do wid silver and leo before dey met, someone who went to Japan to kill Leo and was in Silvers life, a scientist who has a grudg on da guys perhaps?)))

((OOC:Sorry I haven't been around for the past week. if I type in anything terribly contradictory to the story, tell me. I've got a social exam in 2 hours so part of my mind is doing review and a bit of catch up :sleep: ))

Some people have all the luck. However Cynthia isn't one of those people. After her flight into New York was cancelled due to certain racist bastards trying some new trick to smuggle weapons into the US to wreak havok. She over heard that the machine guns were probably from Cuba, which doesn't suprise her. She finally gets to leave and then has to report a pipe bomb in the Toyota Celica she is currently driving. She would take have taken Public transport but, the tech behind the cars are still unknown to her, and the Utom's taxi's aren't as accesible here. Of course when she got near New York she had to leave her reliable little car on the outskirts and catch a Utom taxi.

She had checked ahead and gotten herself a small apartment in a respectable area, she coulden't afford upscale right now, but it was in a comunity that too diverse for gangs to work effectivly, so she new she was safe. She would have brought her little sisters with her, but neither wanted to leave their friends. Cynthia was efficient, and now she is currently looking through the classifieds for jobs. She knew that her previous career is still unfesable, but interplanetary immagrations looked like a booming buisness.

She had checked ahead and gotten herself a small apartment in a respectable area, she coulden't afford upscale right now, but it was in a comunity that too diverse for gangs to work effectivly, so she new she was safe. She would have brought her little sisters with her, but neither wanted to leave their friends. Cynthia was efficient, and now she is currently looking through the classifieds for jobs. She knew that her previous career is still unfesable, but interplanetary immagrations looked like a booming buisness.

((what was her previous career?))

Interplanetary immigrations was indeed a booming business; and because of the many new residents, other businesses were growing too. There was a saying that said, 'For every dollar put into space, seven dollars worth of technology comes back'.

What the quote meant was that for every dollar spent on space exploration, seven dollars worth of technology would be developed, (on Earth), for everyday use; and this fact held true for several years - and then the first wave if visitors came to Earth.

It was because of these visitors, the Ultroms and etc... that the quote took on a whole new meaning; well, at least it did for 'Mouki-technologies'. The business seemed to be feeding indirectly off of the incoming interplanetary technologies, getting new ideas for gadgets and learning new ways of improving old technology as well.

Even though Donatello had been working for 'Mouki-technologies' for six months, he still found the name to be kind of funny. 'Mouki', last he checked, meant 'blind turtle'; so essentially, the translated name of the company was 'Blind Turtle technologies'. He had decided to keep this little fact to himself, because he wasn't sure how his peers would react. Donatello Hamato was indeed a turtle and he loved technology... but he was most assuredly not blind. He knew that there were several people in the company that felt oddly... threatened by him.

Perhaps it was the controversy behind his being hired; before he came, it was the supervisor of each department who did the main hiring. Despite the new laws, some of them were still against hiring outside of their own species and so, when he came to put his resume into the research department and - much to his dismay - it had been promptly declined, (they didn't even look at his resume)!

But luck, it seemed, was on his side. As he was walking out of the department, a woman with short reddish brown hair was walking in. They had collided and papers had gone flying; it wasn't until Donatello got home that he realized that he had grabbed some of the woman's papers rather than his resume and then heard the message on his answering machine.

The woman, Jade McGreen, (ooc: lol, play on names, no?), had realized the problem far quicker than he had and figured out what had happened during Don's visit. Astonished by his credibility and the supervisor's refusal to hire him, Jade had gone straight to the company’s owner: A woman by the name of Miranda Tezlof.

The next thing Donatello knew, the supervisor that had refused him had been fired and he... hired in his place. A month later, a new department was created for the sole purpose of hiring and placing new employees with in the company thus taking the hiring ability out of the supervisors hand. Even now, five months later, the other supervisors still held a grudge against him for taking away one of their supposed 'rights'.

But Donatello didn't mind much that he had been virtually ostracized by his peers, those who worked under him thought him to be a Godsend to their department and as far as Donatello could see, there was no chance of him loosing his job any time soon. The owner herself had after all, hired him herself; however, oddly enough, Donatello had never seen nor spoken to the woman in question. In fact, no one in his department or the neighboring departments had. It seemed as if Jade, (whom it turned out was Ms. Tezlof’s personal assistant), and the head of the company, Mischev Bent, had ever spoken to her… and Don wasn’t even sure that Mr. Bent had even seen the woman himself… not that it was any of his business.

But now Donatello waved cheerily as the last worker left and locked the door to the offices. It was 6:45 p.m. and frankly, Donatello was starving. As started down the sidewalk, he began to mull through his mind on what he would have for dinner that night. It had been a while since he had been able to do anything with any of his brothers, but Michelangelo had his dojo among other things to worry about, Leonardo – last he checked – was out of town, and who knew what Raphael was up to.

He heaved a deep sigh, had they really grown that distant from each other?

[heretic888]

Class had ended early for Hamato no Budo that night. Michelangelo's lessons were short and to the point. Besides, he wanted to do a little "prowling" tonight.

At one point, Michelangelo was explaining the concept of utilizing the power of intention for effectiveness in combat, and constantly referred to the concept of 'ki'. One of his students, a bright young xenoform, who also happened to be a talented psionic, interjected.

"Mike-sensei, isn't this 'ki' and 'intent' really just another word for 'psi'??"

"No. Its not."

"What do you mean??"

"Psi is merely mental energy, Sara. You could think of it as a sort of intensified form of energy that the ego creates to affect the world outside of it. Ki, however, transcends the ego-mind. It unifies body, mind, and spirit together. Its everywhere and in everything..."

"But, sensei," the student interrupted, "isn't that just philosophical semantics?? I mean, in application, wouldn't ki and psi be the same thing??"

Mike smiled and looked at his student. She was an excellent martial artist, but sometimes did too much damn thinking. "Psi bends spoons, Sara. Ki is about attuning with the power of Nature. Here. Let me demonstrate."

Michelangelo walked to the center of the dojo and sat down in a simple fudoza no kamae, his knees tucked underneath his haunches. He smiled at Sara, and pointed to collection of bokken (wooden training swords) hanging across the left wall. "You may use your telekinesis to attack me with the bokken whenever you are ready."

Sara's eyes widened in a look of pure shock, but Mike's calm demeanor convinced her it would be alright to proceed. He nodded casually.

The entire class knew Sara was a TK, but she had rarely used her powers in action. Mike advised her against using her powers during training, as they would dilute the taijutsu lessons he was trying to teach. Now, he was asking her to use her powers wantonly to attack him. Oh well, here goes...

The first bokken raised up in the air and flew right at Michelangelo's head. It whizzed on by, missing him by no more than an inch or two. Mike remained motionless, sitting on the floor.

"I guess your aim's a little off, Sara. Try again." He smiled.

She did. With bokken two. Three. Four. Five. All of them missed.

"You may attempt a closer range if you wish." He commented.

She walked up to the wall and picked up the last bokken. She then walked right behind Mike, no more than ten feet away. She let the bokken dropped, and it hovered in mid-air. Suddenly, the wooden weapon flew right toward Mike's head in a perfectly straight line. There was no way it could miss, and Mike was not moving.

The sword crashed into the wall in front of Mike with a loud thud. Sara looked at her teacher in absolute shock. She had missed. Again.

"Wh-what was that??" She stuttered. The rest of the class was in awe, as well.

"That was ki." Mike chuckled. "And 30 years of training."

"Bu-but, I don't understand. I couldn't even hit you once!!" She protested. "I didn't even feel any resistance against the bokken, its like they were--"

"You didn't expect me to bat them away with my mind did you??" Mike laughed. "I'm not a psionic, Sara, I don't have telekinesis. You know that."

"Then, how did--"

"You missed your target because your target was not there. We don't call this the art of invisibility for nothing, chica."

"So.... you made an illusion of yourself then?? You tricked me into aiming at something that wasn't there??"

Mike sighed. "No. When you have perfectly attuned yourself with Nature, then you will become 'zero'. There is no longer any distinction between yourself, your surroundings, and your opponent. That is the true nature of ki. It is the power of the Universe itself."

"So--"

"So, then, if I am no longer separate from yourself... how could you possibly hope to defeat me??" Mike smiled knowingly.

"I don't understand."

Mike stood up and patted his student on the shoulder. "Don't worry, kiddo. Just keep at it, and you will. Eventually. Its all in the taijutsu, not in bending spoons."

Sara laughed, and assumed her position at the rear wall of the dojo.

"That's it for tonight, guys. I hope this has all been... enlightening." The class bowed out to their sensei and were on their way.

Alright, Mike thought to himself. It's time to do a little prowling...

In a silent green blur, he had disappeared from the empty room.

[Hannah]

((Wow. Do you study martial arts, or did you make that up? :o))

[heretic888]

((a little bit of the former and a little bit of the latter :lol: ))

[Jade Green]

((just a reminder, Randi ain't no level one as it were... 22 years of psi training and self defense too. ^.^ sure, she can't defeat Mike, but she does understand the basics of 'Ki'... and can still do MAJOR damage.))

Randi shoved her hands into the pockets of her coat as she continued down the sidewalk. She stopped, looking across the street where about 12 people were filing out of a small shop-like building. "Hrm..." she hummed. The 12 were stronger than the average person energy wise and... one of them even had a relatively high psi energy - no where near herself, of course. There was one more presence still inside the shop that was far stronger than the rest.

But she only was able to pinpoint the energy for a moment before it was gone. "Eh?" Curious, she walked across the nightly street and looked up at the sign. "Hamato no Budo?" Odd. Randi wasn't fluent in Japanese, but she knew enough to translate simple things like this. It was a Dojo for Bushido or something of the sort. It was the 'Hamato' that had her a bit confused. It was familiar...

Jade McGreen nearly jumped as she heared the familiar ring tone on her cell phone and quickly answered, "Aye, Missy Tezlof?"

"Heh, hey Jade, just gotta question." Randi smirked, looking up to the sign.

"I'll answer it to the best o' me ability."

"Well, I was walking down the street when I saw this Familiar name - but I can't place it: Hamato."

"Hamato? Hamato... Oh! That be tha Sur name o' the supervisor over in expiramental technology in Mouki." Jade replied.

"Oh? Oh, ya... ya..." Randi replied, "Alright, thanks for the extra memory cells, talk to ya later. Ciao."

Jade sighed, putting away the phone. Randi could be odd at times.

Randi put up her own cell phone, looking up at the sign again. Well, that strong power she felt certainly wasn't human... Humans had a specific psi-type signature and this one was... more like her own.

"Hrm, it looks like Mr. Hamato has siblings."

((just a reminder, Randi ain't no level one as it were... 22 years of psi training and self defense too. ^.^ sure, she can't defeat Mike, but she does understand the basics of 'Ki'... and can still do MAJOR damage.))


((*chuckles* I never claimed otherwise. I wasn't trying to portray the little scene with Sara as if Mike were the "Anti-TK Turtle" or anything like that. He was just proving a point to his student [that 'ki' and 'psi' are very different], and spouting a little "ninjer spirituality", too.

I'll post a bit more later.))

[Jade Green]

((No! Grrr! post now dammi! >.<;; I'm bored outta my mind here...))

[Lady Estel]

((sorry ive been gone long! Remind me, who is there?)))

[Hannah]

Kenai scratched her head as she walked down the street. She couldn't remember what she was going to do.

((Oy! Someone run into me! >.O heh.. now! :D))

[Mars-Chan]

((Thanks, Kenai. Here comes your sister! :D))
"Kenai!" The female voice floated out among the crowd, causing her to pause and turn around and see Mars running up to her. "...yo, Kenai, wait up! You leave me alone in the Anime store for one minute and I have to hunt you down like you were a fox of some kind!" The two then chuckled, as Mars flung a arm around her sister's shoulder. "Seriously, what's up?"

[heretic888]

The 12 were stronger than the average person energy wise and... one of them even had a relatively high psi energy - no where near herself, of course. There was one more presence still inside the shop that was far stronger than the rest.

But she only was able to pinpoint the energy for a moment before it was gone. "Eh?" Curious, she walked across the nightly street and looked up at the sign.

((Ummm... just to clarify, Mike just darted out of the room really fast. He didn't actually teleport or anything goofy like that.))

Odd. Randi wasn't fluent in Japanese, but she knew enough to translate simple things like this. It was a Dojo for Bushido or something of the sort.

Bushido?! Ewww... don't mention that word in association with Mike in his presence. He'll get a chuckle.

((No! Grrr! post now dammi! >.<;; I'm bored outta my mind here...))

Gimme a minute!! Damn!! :o

((sorry ive been gone long! Remind me, who is there?)))

Ok, me posty real soon.))

[heretic888]

Randi put up her own cell phone, looking up at the sign again. Well, that strong power she felt certainly wasn't human... Humans had a specific psi-type signature and this one was... more like her own.


Michelangelo was crouched atop the building in question, watching Randi from a distance. He could sense an enormous inner power from her, and was masking his own for the time being.

'Hrmm... looks like Mr. Hamato has siblings.'

Hmm... does she know one of my brothers?? Mike thought to himself.

From where he was, he could barely see Randi in the dim light of the empty parking lot. She appeared to be a mutant turtle, like himself. Female. A little shorter and much more petite though. Her eyes had an almost eery presence to them.

Hmmm.... pretty. Perhaps I should go say hello?? Mike chuckled. Heh, this is more interesting than street prowling anyway...

With that, Mike vanished from the rooftop in a similar green flash and in an instant was standing no more than five feet away from Randi.

"Hi there." He said cheerily.

[Jade Green]

(OOC: No, but he is masking is energy, right? And he moved so fast that Randi - who wasn't even trying to pinpoint him completely - lost his signature. As for the bushido stuff and all of that... Randi's no ninja or anything of the sort. As for the Missing Raphael... I have a friend who might be interested in playing him as well as another character. I'll tell them that Raph IS free.)

Randi put up her own cell phone, looking up at the sign again. Well, that strong power she felt certainly wasn't human... Humans had a specific psi-type signature and this one was... more like her own.

"Hi there." He said cheerily.

Randi immediatly swirled about, causing her coat to flow about her for a moment. She stared at him for a moment, slightly surprised by his sudden presence; she looked him up and down and her surprise turned into amusement, as if his sudden appearance was some sort of joke. "Evenin'." She finally said and, still smirking, looked up to the sky, "Nice clear night for a strool, eh? Or as clear as its going to get 'round here."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo smiled at the stranger with a curious smirk. He was somewhat entranced by Randi's "unusual" eye colors.

He nodded in agreement to her question, still smiling. Geezus, I feel like I'm 20 again....

"My name's Michelangelo Hamato," he said cheerily, extending his right hand, "I'm the teacher at this school." Mike motioned towards the Hamato no Budo dojo that Randi seemed intrigued in a few moments ago.

He smiled once more, looking down at Randi. "My dojo seems to have caught your attention tonight, neh??"

He smiled once more, looking down at Randi. "My dojo seems to have caught your attention tonight, neh??"

She looked down at his hand, not bothering to take her own hands out of her pocket, and then glanced once to the sign before looking up to him. "No, not really," She replied, "Just thought I recognized the name." She then took his hand, shaking it. "The name's Randi - lets just leave it at that for now."

[heretic888]

"No, not really," She replied, "Just thought I recognized the name." She then took his hand, shaking it. "The name's Randi - lets just leave it at that for now."

Michelangelo smiled. "So, does 'Hamato' mean something to you, then??"

[Jade Green]

She looked down at his hand, not bothering to take her own hands out of her pocket, and then glanced once to the sign before looking up to him. "No, not really," She replied, "Just thought I recognized the name." She then took his hand, shaking it. "The name's Randi - lets just leave it at that for now."

Michelangelo smiled. "So, does 'Hamato' mean something to you, then??"

She shoved her hands into the pockets of her long coat again, smirking at him. "Michelangelo, there are a lot of names that mean 'something' to me." She pointed out, "And many more that mean absolutely nothing." Randi was perfectly aware that she had not answered his question, and she had no intentions of doing so yet. It was for the same reason that she cared not to give him her last name.

She gazed down the darkened sidewalk thoughtfully for a second and then looked to him, "The question is, in truth, would it mean anything to you if such a name did indeed mean anything to me -- now, if you don't mind, I think I'll finish my walk."

[heretic888]

Mike smiled. She was spunky. He liked that.

"Well, I'm not exactly in the middle of anything at the moment... mind if I tag along??" He said. "By the way, most folks just call me Mike. Or Mikey. Whichever flips your boat."

Mike shrugged, laughing cheerfully.

"Well, I'm not exactly in the middle of anything at the moment... mind if I tag along??" He said. "By the way, most folks just call me Mike. Or Mikey. Whichever flips your boat."

Mike shrugged, laughing cheerfully.

"Actually," She turned her head to look at him, "I'd rather not have my boat flipped if its okay with you -- I'd rather keep it afloat." She then started walking down the sidewalk, adding. "And no, you can't tag along; but this is a free country, so legally I can't stop you from going in the same direction as me, now can I? Nor can I stop you from coincidently walking next to me."

Yes, Randi knew that she was rather odd -- but that came with the territory.

[heretic888]

Michelangelo laughed. This girl was quite funny.

He hopped along beside the female turtle with a relaxed, casual gait. He didn't say anything for several minutes.

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo laughed. This girl was quite funny.

He hopped along beside the female turtle with a relaxed, casual gait. He didn't say anything for several minutes.

It was she who spoke first, "So tell me, Mike, Do you usually come up to complete strangers on the street and offer to 'tag along'," she stopped for a moment infront of a window showing the newest technology out on the market. Some of the products had a simplified eye symbol on them, the symbol of Mouki Technologies. "Or am I just some special case because of the similar features that you and I obvoiusly share?" She started walking again, glancing once into the next window and finding nothing of interest.

[Hannah]

((You people are too fast for me o-o))
Kenai grinned at Mars. "Turtle, not fox." she laughed, starting to walk again. She was feeling better now that she had company.

((and if Jade's friend doesnt want to play as Raph, I will! :D))

[heretic888]

She started walking again, glancing once into the next window and finding nothing of interest.

"Well," Mike chuckled, "it's not everyday that such 'special cases' actually walk up to my front door." He smiled warmly, and laughed silently to himself.

[Jade Green]

((Nah she wants to... but she'll be out of town this weekend... and so will I btw... but knowing Mandi, she'll let me check this at least once a day.))

"Meh." She replied, "All in a day's wanderings I suppose." She stopped again, looking into another window where several c.d.s were displayed. She smirked almost evily and started walking again looking slightly satisfied with herself.

[heretic888]

"Well, you're looking chipper all o' the sudden." Mike chuckled. "Something in that display case catch your attention??"

[Jade Green]

"Well, you're looking chipper all o' the sudden." Mike chuckled. "Something in that display case catch your attention??"

"Heh. Just happen to like some of the artist is all." She replied, stoping at a street corner trying to decide which way to go. Finally, she decided that she'd go left and began to cross the street.

[Mars-Chan]

"Kenai!!" Mars yelped, running to catch up with her sister, then pausing and sighing. "...wait a minute! You're going to fast!!! Okay then...guess I won't give you the gift I bought you...."

[Lady Estel]

Leo watched the two figures talk.

"Mikey...?"

[heretic888]

Heh. Just happen to like some of the artist is all." She replied, stoping at a street corner trying to decide which way to go. Finally, she decided that she'd go left and began to cross the street.

"I see," Mike said with a warm chuckle. He followed alongside her without making so much as a sound, almost as if his feet weren't actually touching the street at all.

Leo watched the two figures talk.

"Mikey...?"

"Eh?" Mike knew that 'feeling' from anywhere. "LEO!!"

Michelangelo's face lit up and a broad smile formed across his visage. "Bro!! How you been doin'?? How was Japan??"

[Jade Green]

The female whom Michelangelo had been walking with, stopped to look at both the albino turtle and Leonardo for a brief moment. One look at Leonardo made her relaxed smile turn into a knowing grin:

[i]So Donatello Hamato did have siblings.[i] She thought, looking to the white turtle once more and turning to continue her walk and leave the two brothers and friend to their visit.

[heretic888]

Heh, she's not gettin' away that easy...

"Hey, Randi!!" Mike yelled with a grin. "Lemme introduce you to my brother, Leonardo. Leo, this is Randi."

Mike chuckled silently.

[Jade Green]

Heh, she's not gettin' away that easy...

"Hey, Randi!!" Mike yelled with a grin. "Lemme introduce you to my brother, Leonardo. Leo, this is Randi."

Mike chuckled silently.

"Hi Leo," She said, not stopping, "Bye Leo."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo just laughed with a raised eyeridge as Randi walked away, turning again to his brother.

"Rosy, ain't she??" he chuckled.

[Hannah]

"Kenai!!" Mars yelped, running to catch up with her sister, then pausing and sighing. "...wait a minute! You're going to fast!!! Okay then...guess I won't give you the gift I bought you...."

"Huh? Gift? Aww, you didn't have to!" grinned kenai.

[Mars-Chan]

((OOC: :lol: You are SO gonna pummel me with pillows after this, Kenai...))

"Are you sure you want it?" Mars grinned with a sort of malicious grin, as she then turned back around. "...because I can always take it back if you want..." "NO!!" Kenai yelped, as Mars then chuckled. "Well...I know how much you liked that Inuasha show so much..." She said, reaching into the bag and then pulling out a book. "...and I know how much you love to draw, so...here. I got you this."

[Hannah]

Kenai took the book and grinned at it. "Aww, thanks, Mars!!" she said, hugging her.

((Why would I...? :O))

((edit: oh, inuyasha? I dont' mind it. ^_^))

[Mars-Chan]

((OOC: :D Because I'm sneaky...?))
"Hey," Mars said with a grin. "...that's what sisters are for. Now all that's left is my Ronin Warriors DVD of seasons two and three! Heheheheheee! :D" Kenai could only roll her eyes and utter something under her breath, as Mars cocked her head slightly. "What?" She asked, as Kenai shook her head.

[Hannah]

"Hey- that's expensive! I'm savin' up for it though! It might take a while, but I'll get it for ya.." said Kenai, grinning. "Hey.. wait a minute..." she said, looking down the road. "Those people.. they look.. familar... Ah, nevermind." she said, noticing her sister's curious looks.

[Mars-Chan]

((OCC: Do you care if I use your character?))
"Yeah, they kinda do..." Mars said, suddenly narrowing her brown eyes. "...h'm....they look awfully familiar....nah. So, Kenai...let's go to the movies, what do ya say?" Kenai then nodded as Mars smiled. "Good." She said, nodding for her to follow. She then passed by Leo, Mike, and Randi, the fireball scar on her back showing true. "...come on. Let's go!"

[Hannah]

((Naw, I dont mind. Keeps me from having to post :lol: ))

Kenai slowly followed Mars, her eyes darting around, searching for the people whom she had recognized.

[Lady Estel]

Michelangelo just laughed with a raised eyeridge as Randi walked away, turning again to his brother.

"Rosy, ain't she??" he chuckled.

Leo shook his head and looked at the sign to mikey.
"yours?"
Silver stared at the two with shock then grinned.
"so yer brothers, how many more are there of ya?"

[Jade Green]

Randi hadn't even paid Mars or Kenai any mind at all though she had sensed the familiar turtlean signature of thier energies a few minutes before hand. In fact, Randi was half way down the block before the two females even began to pass up Leonardo, Michelangelo and Silver.

She had decided that she'd leave Mike to talk to his brother and whomever that other turtle had been and let them deal with the two female turtles as well. She found the whole ordeal rather wierd because she had never encountered another mutant turtle - aside from Donatello Hamato, whom she had yet to personally meet - outside of the Mutant Militia or the Outlanders before; and, when it came to theother turtles in the Outlanders, not one of those other three had been the same species as she.

Yet tonight she had either encountered, seen and/or sensed five mutant turtles and at least two of them were the same species as herself, (she pointed out to herself that this also meant that Donatello was also of the same species, but she didn't dwell on that for two long).

She silently noted the two hoodlum-looking men who stood across the street from her and did not react as they started to cross. She didn't have to read their minds to who what they wanted to do - she could simply feel the malice the were emitting from the aura of their emotions. She continued to walk, pretending she didn't see them.

They started to follow her at a faster pace, and Randi simply kept her normal, casual one letting them catch up to her.

"Hey mutie!"

She stopped, turinging to look at them, causing the tail of her coat to flow about her slightly. One of them, slapping a baseball bat against his gloved hand stepped forwards. She smirked, raising her eye ridges to him, as if to say, 'yes?'

"Who do you think you are, mutie?" He asked, "Don't you know that from here to main street its a mutant free zone?"

"Is it?" She blinked, feigning surprise, "Really?" She gave them her own malicious grin, "Oh my, I didn't know that." She began contimplating exactly how she was going to have fun with this group - could always go on a whim...

"...and any mutant that enters, don't come back out alive." Added another with a golf club, also standing forwards.

"Check in, but you don't check out." She replied, "I didn't know I had reached roach city - are you the ambassadors? Damn, yer ugly for a roach. Hey, you're ugly for a human to boot."

The man's eye twitched, "Let me have a go at her," said he to the first, "She can't get away with that!"

Before the leader could speak, Randi spoke "You don't want him to attack me." She said, "You want to attack him." The man blinked twice, then sneered, turning to his partener and began to hit him repeatedly. "You hate each other." She added as a final manipulated mental blow before turning and walking away.

[Lady Estel]

Silver gritted his teeth as he saw the thugs insult the young lady they had just met. But felt his jaw drop as he saw the girl walk on unharmed. the the goons had stopped and were arguing.

/Heh! So they turned inta good s'mari'ans ay? Serves 'em righ'!/ Taking off his sunglasses he watched the brothers talk and felt a chilly wind blow through his bones. He looked up in shock to see Giselle standing on top of the building.

[Mars-Chan]

"Well...what're you waiting for, Kenai?" Mars huffed slightly, as she tapped her foot on the ground impatiently. "....an open invitation or something?! By the time we get there the movie will have started....and I am not missing "Van Helsing" for the world!!!!"

((OOC: Seriously...when it comes out...I'm going to go see it! ^_^))

[Hannah]

"Sorry.." mumbled kenai, "I was distracted.." she said as she started to walk again.

[heretic888]

Leo shook his head and looked at the sign to mikey.
"yours?"

"Nah, bro. Just met her an hour or so ago." Mike smiled. "And, she's apparently not interested, so..." Mike just shrugged and laughed.

Still, I could probably track her if I wanted to with relatively little trouble...

Silver stared at the two with shock then grinned.
"so yer brothers, how many more are there of ya?"

"Ummm... two more, in addition to Leo and myself." Mike replied casually, with a raised eyeridge. "By the way, who are you??"

Suddenly....

/Heh! So they turned inta good s'mari'ans ay? Serves 'em righ'!/

"No." Mike said, squinting his eyes slightly, then widening them again. "She did something to them. Interesting."

I thought I felt something unusual about her... she's kinda like Sandra, but much more intense. Interesting, indeed.

Mike smiled to himself in an amused manner. Then he noticed...

Taking off his sunglasses he watched the brothers talk and felt a chilly wind blow through his bones. He looked up in shock to see Giselle standing on top of the building.

Mike looked up. "Eh?? Hoozzat??"

[Jade Green]

Leo shook his head and looked at the sign to mikey.
"yours?"

"Nah, bro. Just met her an hour or so ago." Mike smiled. "And, she's apparently not interested, so..." Mike just shrugged and laughed.

((Think he meant the Dojo dude

And I'll add later))

[Hannah]

"Hey Mars, I'm the one pulling you along now! Mars?? Ok, I'll just see the movie myself!" taunted Kenai as they reached the theater. "Savvy?"

((sorry.. i just needed to say "savvy?" :evilgrin: ))

[heretic888]

((Think he meant the Dojo dude

And I'll add later))

((Heh. If so, then my bad. :D))

[Mars-Chan]

((OOC: You HAVE TO get me on the Savvy thing!!! :D))

"Huh? Oh, sorry." Mars said, shaking her head and running to catch up with her sister. "...I was just thinking..." "About what?" Kenai asked, as Mars shoved it off with a shake of her head. "Nothing..." She sighed. "...come on...we still have time to catch the opening part...."

[Lady Estel]

Giselle smiled at the albino turtle, pursing her lips.

Leonardo had to keep a hold on Silver.
"Gerrof me! She's a killer!"
"I know..." said Leo softly.
Silver turned to face him, Giselle gone.
"...she killed Megumi...a little girl I...was caring for...she was Hamato Yoshi's niece..." a small tear fell down his cheek. "...she was only seven..."

[Jade Green]

Giselle smiled at the albino turtle, pursing her lips.

Leonardo had to keep a hold on Silver.
"Gerrof me! She's a killer!"
"I know..." said Leo softly.
Silver turned to face him, Giselle gone.
"...she killed Megumi...a little girl I...was caring for...she was Hamato Yoshi's niece..." a small tear fell down his cheek. "...she was only seven..."

((Nani? Megumi? Yoshi had a niece?))

[heretic888]

((Nani? Megumi? Yoshi had a niece?))

((I'm sure Estel will explain it as the story progresses, Jade. ;) ))

Giselle smiled at the albino turtle, pursing her lips.

"Gerrof me! She's a killer!"
"I know..." said Leo softly.
Silver turned to face him, Giselle gone.
"...she killed Megumi...a little girl I...was caring for...she was Hamato Yoshi's niece..." a small tear fell down his cheek. "...she was only seven..."

Michelangelo looked up at Giselle and then back down towards Leo and Silver.

"Umm... Leo?? Care to explain??"

[Lady Estel]

Leo let go of Silver and faced his brother.
"Giselle is an assasin from Oroku Saki, ex-assasin. She's from Japan, Giselle her codename. She was hunting me down in Japan, how Silver knows her I dunno."
Silver shook his head. "Giselle's a scientist mate, kicked off the assasin gig long ago." He shivered, giving Mikey a pleading look.
"Can we go in, mate?"
Leo chuckled muttering Australian before it struck him.
"Who else is here, Mikey? Raph, Donnie? heard anything?"

[heretic888]

Leo let go of Silver and faced his brother.
"Giselle is an assasin from Oroku Saki, ex-assasin. She's from Japan, Giselle her codename. She was hunting me down in Japan, how Silver knows her I dunno."
Silver shook his head. "Giselle's a scientist mate, kicked off the assasin gig long ago." He shivered, giving Mikey a pleading look.
"Can we go in, mate?"
Leo chuckled muttering Australian before it struck him.
"Who else is here, Mikey? Raph, Donnie? heard anything?"

Michelangelo motioned for them to enter his dojo. The walk with Randi has led the two around in a circle and they were right were they had started.

"Sure, uh, Silver." Mike smiled reassuringly. He then faced his brother. "I haven't spoken to Don or Raph in quite a few weeks, dude."

[Lady Estel]

Leo let go of Silver and faced his brother.
"Giselle is an assasin from Oroku Saki, ex-assasin. She's from Japan, Giselle her codename. She was hunting me down in Japan, how Silver knows her I dunno."

"Sure, uh, Silver." Mike smiled reassuringly. He then faced his brother. "I haven't spoken to Don or Raph in quite a few weeks, dude."

"DAmn! It would have been nice to see them too! I missed ya bro!" he smiled then remembered Silver.
"oh yeah, Silver's supposed to join or something...oh god! Don't tell me Mr Goof Off Training's teachin kids! "

[Jade Green]

((Nani? Megumi? Yoshi had a niece?))

((I'm sure Estel will explain it as the story progresses, Jade. ;) ))



((Oh, uh, course she will. It just caught me off gaurd. Don't confuse the sick girl *cough*sniffle*cough* :dead: ))

...The fight between the two men that had orginally planned to harm Randi, turned into a chase as the one with the golf club turned and ran - his ex partener at his heals. Maybe a part of her did feel a pang of guilt for manipulating their minds like that, but the effects were temporary and there were far worse things she could have done. She reached the stairs to the subway and sighed, it was getting late and she had some more work to do. Might as well go back to Tribeca now.

[heretic888]

"DAmn! It would have been nice to see them too! I missed ya bro!" he smiled then remembered Silver.
"oh yeah, Silver's supposed to join or something...oh god! Don't tell me Mr Goof Off Training's teachin kids! "

"Leo," Mike laughed, "I haven't goofed off on my training since we were 15!! And.... especially not since Splinter died."

He paused in silence for a moment.

"So, Silver wants join my dojo, neh??" Mike grinned evilly.

[Lady Estel]

"Leo," Mike laughed, "I haven't goofed off on my training since we were 15!! And.... especially not since Splinter died."

He paused in silence for a moment.

"So, Silver wants join my dojo, neh??" Mike grinned evilly.

"You want any help teachin him? He's probably gonna chase the girls in the dojo and I haven't got aything to do."

[heretic888]

"Sure, bro." Mike said with a chuckle. "My class size is starting to get a little intense, anyway. Could use a helping hand..."

[Jade Green]

She stared down the stairs, sure she had work to do... but the night was still young. Right? She turned on her heal, walking in the direction in which she had just come from.

She soon passed the spot where the two men had been fighting before they ran off, not paying the blood on the ground any mind. She reached the corner and then looked up at the black sky.

[Lady Estel]

"Sure, bro." Mike said with a chuckle. "My class size is starting to get a little intense, anyway. Could use a helping hand..."
Silver glanced at the two older turtles and grinned.
(BTW where so the guys, or where did the guys live b4 they split?)

Randi, watched the three males move back towards the dojo as she leaned on the street sign. The three of them were rather interesting, that was for sure. Each in their own way. Leonardo was more powerful and yet weaker in sertain areas than Michelangelo and the younger of the three - the albino - he had some potential too. She looked down the road, she could just barely see Mars and Kenai in the distance.

Five tutles in one night, She thought, Seven including Donatello and myself. She smirked, maybe I should go on walks more often? She contemplated on whether or not to 'crash' the little party that the three males were having or to investigate the two females... After a moment, she decided to do both, almost. She placed a mental tag on Mars and Kenai so if she was nearby them again, she'd know it and started after the three males.

((They were living in their sewer home. I don't know where Raph and Don are right now, but Mike has been alternating between his dojo, the sewer home, and April & Casey's apartment.))

Full time college and other such things.

(((I'm doing full time college and a play)))

((Heh, I did full time college last semester and was the leading female role in the play at my college too... as well as part time work and etc...

D's got full time college, she's also got other duties such as keeping her house clean, taking her boyfriend - who lives across the hall from her - to his Navy meetings, working on her endless amounts of art work, (trust me, art majors are made to do like... five completed artworks per week per class and that's an understatement), she's got two D&D games she's in, she's in the college Chess club, she's got nefews that she often has to watch, (three of them, all five and under), She's the president of the Anime club at the college, and she helps out in the college music club as well, plus Kickboxing and yoga and hip hop dancing, her father has been ill, plus most of the people she knows turn to her for help when they're in trouble...

So, ya, she's got a lot going on. >.> and I doubt I've even got half the things she does down...

And as she has said, "Some of us have our priorities in order." Meaning this rpg isn't the most important thing in her life.))

Giselle hoped over the rooftops singing to herself. Now she had gotten rid of Megumi Hamato she can kill off the failed experiement and the other turtles. The Shredder had told her, before his death to kill any family of Hamato Yoshi, even illegitamete ones...

[heretic888]

(Alright!! :P ))

Giselle hoped over the rooftops singing to herself. Now she had gotten rid of Megumi Hamato she can kill off the failed experiement and the other turtles. The Shredder had told her, before his death to kill any family of Hamato Yoshi, even illegitamete ones...

While still inside the dojo, Michelangelo and Leonardo continued to talk, reminscing about the past and what had been happening in each of their respective lives during the past year. From time to time, Mike's eyes wandered to where Silver was. There was something about him that was, just.... off. Like he was hiding something from the two of them.

During a pause between his chat with Leo, Mike turned to face Silver. He smiled warmly. "So, Silver... mind tellin' me who that was on the rooftop before??"

[Lady Estel]

Silver looked at the two, now broken from his daydream.
"Aw! Nuffin' you old timas need ta worry abat! Justa silly ol' bitch who screwed arand sumfin she shudna..."

[heretic888]

Old!, Mike chuckled to himself, I just turned 30 last month!

He smirked. "Well, she seems to had gotten you a bit upset before, dude. You feel like talkin' about it??"

[Lady Estel]

He smirked. "Well, she seems to had gotten you a bit upset before, dude. You feel like talkin' about it??"

"Yeah, we won't tell anyone if you don't want us to, we can keep a secret."
Leo placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Nah! Not now! "
"It's a miracle, he actually doesn't change the subject..."

[heretic888]

Michelangeo laughed and shrugged. "So... watta you guys wanna do now?? Night's still young, yah know."

[Lady Estel]

Michelangeo laughed and shrugged. "So... watta you guys wanna do now?? Night's still young, yah know."

Leo got up and stretched. "still prowl?" sheathing his katanas and grinning.

[Jade Green]

Randi stopped under the sign to Michelangelo's dojo and looked at the door thoughtfully as she considered whether or not to go through with it. She reasoned to herself that it wasn't every day that one ran into three mutant turtles in one evening, but she could always come back onother time to vist; but the question would be when would she again have the time to do so? finally deciding, she knocked on the door and waited for some one to answer.

[heretic888]

Michelangelo was about to answer his brother's suggestion when he heard a knock on the door. He walked towards the entrance to the dojo. Whoever it was, they were emitting a very powerful 'energy' that was unmistakable to someone of Mike's level of skill.

He opened the door casually, curious to see who this visitor might be...

[Jade Green]

((This is odd, why can't the last posts that Heratic and I did be seen?))

[heretic888]

((huh?? I can see 'em... unless you posted an 'she walked in' post I haven't seen yet. :-? ))

[Jade Green]

((Now it shows up... *grumble*))

When he opened the door, he found Randi casually leaning against the door frame, waiting. She smirked up at him. "Hope you don't mind if a femme crashes your all male party."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo smiled warmly at Randi, who seemed to be in a much more sociable mood than before.

"Sure," He replied with a grin, "C'mon in." He casually made way for her to walk in, subtly rolling his eyes over to his brother.

Leo, do me a favor and try not to make an ass of yourself.

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo smiled warmly at Randi, who seemed to be in a much more sociable mood than before.

"Sure," He replied with a grin, "C'mon in." He casually made way for her to walk in, subtly rolling his eyes over to his brother.

Leo, do me a favor and try not to make an ass of yourself.

Though she didn't hear what was said through the mind link between Mike and Leo, she did feel it. "Heh, huh..." She chuckled to herself and walked past Mike, shoving her hands into the pockets of her jacket.

[Lady Estel]

Michelangelo smiled warmly at Randi, who seemed to be in a much more sociable mood than before.

"Sure," He replied with a grin, "C'mon in." He casually made way for her to walk in, subtly rolling his eyes over to his brother.

Leo, do me a favor and try not to make an ass of yourself.
Leo blinked and gave Silver the same look.
"Wha', What i do? Hey love, I'm Silver" Silver extended a hand to Randi whilst Leo was pleading that he wouldnt slap her bum.

[heretic888]

"So, Randi," Michelangelo said with a calm smile, following her into the dojo, "what brings you here tonight??"

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo smiled warmly at Randi, who seemed to be in a much more sociable mood than before.

"Sure," He replied with a grin, "C'mon in." He casually made way for her to walk in, subtly rolling his eyes over to his brother.

Leo blinked and gave Silver the same look.
"Wha', What i do? Hey love, I'm Silver" Silver extended a hand to Randi whilst Leo was pleading that he wouldnt slap her bum.

She looked Silver up and down for a moment and then shook his hand, "Randi." She replied then looked to Leo, noting the look he was giving Silver. "Eh..." She politely stepped away from the two men just as Mike spoke.

"So, Randi," Michelangelo said with a calm smile, following her into the dojo, "what brings you here tonight??"

"Boredom." She replied. "Didn't feel like headin' home yet."

[Lady Estel]

Silver gave Randi a lopsided grin, trying to be friendly.
"love the eyes Shelia!" he managed, bracing himself for a hit, while Leo did stragling motions behind his back.
"My names Leonardo, I think you've met my brother Michelangelo and the aussie is silver." Leo brought out his hand."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo ignored Silver's somewhat lewd behavior (although he found Leo's attempt at restraining his friend amusing), and simply smiled casually at Randi.

"Bored, eh?" Mike replied. "So, then, have any particular plans on how to spend the rest of the evening?? A movie, perhaps??"

[Jade Green]

Silver gave Randi a lopsided grin, trying to be friendly.
"love the eyes Shelia!" he managed, bracing himself for a hit, while Leo did stragling motions behind his back.

She raised her eyeridges at the Australian. "I get that alot.

"My names Leonardo, I think you've met my brother Michelangelo and the aussie is silver." Leo brought out his hand."

"I kind of gathered that much." She replied, leaning against the wall so she could keep her eyes on both all three males.

Michelangelo ignored Silver's somewhat lewd behavior (although he found Leo's attempt at restraining his friend amusing), and simply smiled casually at Randi.

"Bored, eh?" Mike replied. "So, then, have any particular plans on how to spend the rest of the evening?? A movie, perhaps??"

"A movie?" She snorted, "If I wanted to go to the movies, I'd already be there. Surely you can think of something more original than that."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo laughed in a good-natured tone.

"Oh," He said, raising an eyeridge, "Did you have something in mind, then, Ms. Creativity??"

Mike smiled inwardly. This night might turn out to be more fun that he expected...

[Lady Estel]

Giselle watched the turtles with hatred, she aimed her knife with accuarcy at Silver.
Once I get rid of S1lv3r everything will be over and I can retire in Los Angeles

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo laughed in a good-natured tone.

"Oh," He said, raising an eyeridge, "Did you have something in mind, then, Ms. Creativity??"

Mike smiled inwardly. This night might turn out to be more fun that he expected...

"Sorry, but I just waisted what was left of today's ration of Creativity on choosing to come here rather than going home doing more work." She shrugged. "I usually go to Jullian's, (a giant arcade with resturaunts and pool etc...) on wednsdays nights a play a few games, but that's just the inner teenage brat shining through."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo smiled, about to respond to Randi, when suddenly his expression changed and he raised his head up in shock.

"Wait... something's wrong." He said with mild alarm.

[Lady Estel]

Michelangelo smiled, about to respond to Randi, when suddenly his expression changed and he raised his head up in shock.

"Wait... something's wrong." He said with mild alarm.

Giselle threw the knife at Silver, shattering the glass window and landing in Silver's right bicep.

"****!" Silver pulled out the knife and muttered something about the assassin being a blind bat as Leo bolted towards the window.
"Whoever it was, I can't see 'em? You ok?"

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo smiled, about to respond to Randi, when suddenly his expression changed and he raised his head up in shock.

"Wait... something's wrong." He said with mild alarm.

Randi looked at Mike once before letting her mind expand and fill the room, 'feeling' each of their minds and sensing the same danger that he felt; she began to ready her TK for anything, but wasn't fast enough...

Giselle threw the knife at Silver, shattering the glass window and landing in Silver's right bicep.

"sh**!" Silver pulled out the knife and muttered something about the assassin being a blind bat as Leo bolted towards the window.
"Whoever it was, I can't see 'em? You ok?"

Randi frowned, having been unable to 'catch' the knife and stead she turned her psychic attention to outside; spanning out towards the direction and angle the knife had come. (I'm assuming she's on the run already). Her frowned deeped and she let her mind spread out even more hoping to catch a hint of the retreating assasin.

"See any one that would've done this to you?" She turned, narrowing her eyes on the injured turtle, "And ya, know, I wouldn't make comments about whomever it was being blind as a bat -- might want to check to see that blade wasn't poisoned."

[Lady Estel]

"Poison's already in me blood, Shelia. Even if it's already poisoned, it won't affect me!" he pulls out the blade and looks at it. "Yep, poisoned! Giselle's callin card, Snake on the handle."

"Couldn't someone have stolen it from her?" Leo asked,Silver laughed darkly.
"And survived the poison on the blade when they sheathed it, they would examin it right? The blade's a lil sharp for the goons. Ouch! see?" Shows the tiny cut. He walks up to mikey.
"Can I melt this somewhere?"

[heretic888]

Mike cocked his head and looked at Silver strangely for a moment.

"I suggest not destroying the blade," Mike said calmly, with a nonchalant demeanor across his face. "If one of us gets poisoned, it will help to have some on-hand if we need to come up with antidote."

Mike looked out the window and then looked to Randi briefly, and then to Silver again. "Chances are our would-be 'assassin' is gonna be back."

[Lady Estel]

Mike cocked his head and looked at Silver strangely for a moment.

"I suggest not destroying the blade," Mike said calmly, with a nonchalant demeanor across his face. "If one of us gets poisoned, it will help to have some on-hand if we need to come up with antidote."

Mike looked out the window and then looked to Randi briefly, and then to Silver again. "Chances are our would-be 'assassin' is gonna be back."

"Not surprised, she been following me for ages...as soon as I got away...hell, you might as well know!"
((Is that ok? It's his history.)))

[heretic888]

((That's fine.))

"I see." Mike said calmly, looking over at Randi then back at Silver. He was worried that all this might scare her off. "Why don't you tell us about this person, then??"

[Lady Estel]

((That's fine.))

"I see." Mike said calmly, looking over at Randi then back at Silver. He was worried that all this might scare her off. "Why don't you tell us about this person, then??"

"Giselle worked for an australian laboratory on the east side of the coast, I was one of the hatchlings they had stolen from the nests." Silver looked at Randi, "You ok? With listenin' to this I mean!"

[Jade Green]

((That's fine.))

"I see." Mike said calmly, looking over at Randi then back at Silver. He was worried that all this might scare her off. "Why don't you tell us about this person, then??"

"If I weren't okay with it, I woulda stopped you already."

[Lady Estel]

"ok, this was around...well, 22 yrs back. Me lil hatchlin, pre mutated...didn't get mutated until I was 10. Most they chose were leatherbacks"He showed them his shell " part of the mutaton gave me the white skin, the things they did envolved poisen in the blood, artifictal heart. self detinator; for suicidal reasons. About 90 of the lads decided that was it and SPLAT Turtle entrails."

[Jade Green]

"Self Detinators," Said the female turtle, "I'm almost Jealous."

[Lady Estel]

"Self Detinators," Said the female turtle, "I'm almost Jealous."

"Wish I can take 'em out."

[Jade Green]

"Self Detinators," Said the female turtle, "I'm almost Jealous."

"Wish I can take 'em out."

"Ignore me," Said Randi, "My sense of humor isn't for everyone."

[Lady Estel]

"I can't shake out the dead in my mind though. I can't die of natural courses or poisen, that leaves bullets. Never would have been out of there if it weren't for good ol' Frank. He's the, was the janiter there, he 'ad enough of what they did so he stole 9 of us, I was the eldest along with a snapping turtle. The midgets were all giant tortiose hybrids that were crossed gened with other wild animals, many died trying to get out."

Leonardo watched the albino with interest.
"What about Giselle?"
"she had been gettin her claws on the cash made to deliver the hatchling mutants to militery groups"

[Jade Green]

"Actually..." Randi muttered after a moment, "That does sound sorta familiar... I think I did hear something about that, they were just going to investigate it after I left. Something tells me they either never got around to doing it, or they didn't get to far in thier invstigation."

[Lady Estel]

"hmm...seems right!"
Silver sat back on the chair. "ol' Frank died cus of 'em! Milertry shot 'im down by the opera house! Me an' the remaining lilluns made a run for it in the harbour. one problem was that they couldn't swim, got knocked outta their natural system."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo had been listening with mindful intent the entire course of Silver's explanation, not saying a word. He appeared to be in deep thought while, at the same time, appearing completely casual.

Something about Silver's story was striking a cord with him, a long-forgotten dream that he hadn't thought about in years.

"DARPA??" He said out loud, in a very mild-mannered tone.

[Jade Green]

"I don't think you and I are talking abou the same military group, sweaty." Randi said, then, when Mike spoke. "Was that the name of it?" She shook her head, "Either way, we really should focus on the subject really at hand here: Giselle."

[Lady Estel]

"I don't think you and I are talking abou the same military group, sweaty." Randi said, then, when Mike spoke. "Was that the name of it?" She shook her head, "Either way, we really should focus on the subject really at hand here: Giselle."

Silver looked around, "got a computer?"

[heretic888]

"Sure. Its in my office." Mike replied casually, directing the group to the rear of his dojo, where his office lay.

[Jade Green]

Randi pulled off her hat and ran her hand over her head. "Well, at least I'm not bored anymore."

[Lady Estel]

"Sure. Its in my office." Mike replied casually, directing the group to the rear of his dojo, where his office lay.

"Alright if I show you her records, most of the stuff I'd say may cause a detonater to edject itself and blow this place up."

"No crashing the system..." Leo warned.

[heretic888]

((A detonator eject?? And blow his computer up?? How explosives can be digitally transported I do not know... :P ))

"That's alright," Mike laughed jovially. "Donny built my firewall himself. Damn thing's virtually impregnable."

[Lady Estel]

((A detonator eject?? And blow his computer up?? How explosives can be digitally transported I do not know... :P ))

"That's alright," Mike laughed jovially. "Donny built my firewall himself. Damn thing's virtually impregnable."

(((the detonators are in his left bicep, his artifical arm.)))

Silver nodded and pulled the ar, elbow down off and deactivated the detonator, a long thin wire then was pulled from the arm and attached to the computer. the files rapidly appeared, showing premutated Silver, to 51vl3r. The moniter flickered an image from a childs point of veiw...of the head scientist and teen Giselle kissing.
"yeuch!" Leo shudered

[heretic888]

(((the detonators are in his left bicep, his artifical arm.)))


((Heh. Scratch my last post, then.))

[Lady Estel]

(((the detonators are in his left bicep, his artifical arm.)))

The moniter flickered an image from a childs point of veiw...of the head scientist and teen Giselle kissing.
"yeuch!" Leo shudered

"Cute." Mike replied, eyeing the image warily. "But there some point to this beyond watching Giselle make out with some guy we've never met??" He raised an eyeridge in mild amusement.

[Lady Estel]

Silver blushed "THAT was the head scientist, and the REASON she's hunting me down, I have all this info and I could show it the government and they'll be destroyed.

[heretic888]

Mike, still a bit skeptical, decided to play along.

"Alright, so you've got all this uber-duber top-secret info. Great. Mind telling us what it's all about, so we actually know why it is we're gettin' shot at??" Mike raised his other eyeridge.

[Lady Estel]

Mike, still a bit skeptical, decided to play along.

"Alright, so you've got all this uber-duber top-secret info. Great. Mind telling us what it's all about, so we actually know why it is we're gettin' shot at??" Mike raised his other eyeridge.

"Giselle gets a lil bit freaky, you see me old man knew more than I did on their illegal animal testin and inputted the data in me. Which is giselle's fave past time, hurtin animals and she was the reason why the scientist decided I show be shot at. she ain't stupid though. I have almost every thin about here AND the email adress for good ol' Mr President!"

[Jade Green]

"And because of what you know, you're a threat." Randi said, "Sounds perfectly logical. You could easily sell her out, but the question is, are you?"

[heretic888]

Mike crossed his arms, leaning his back shell against the nearby wall. He watched the conversation with a calm attentiveness. He looked over to Leo, wondering what he thought on the situation....

Then, a thought suddenly came to him: Donny. Don's technowizardry would be much more useful in this situation than his shoddy PC. It wouldn't hurt to have an extra body on hand, either...

"Alright," Mike said calmly. "I think I'm gonna give Don a call. He's much more capable of looking into this kinda stuff than I am."

Michelangelo began to walk toward his phone.

((aren't you happy, Jade?? Now you get to play two characters. :P ))

[Jade Green]

((evil, so evil... I like that traite.))

Randi raised an eyeridge as she watched Mike dail the number.

Donatello had just finished eating when his cell phone rang. The tune - the bafoon - immediatly told him it was Mike. He flipped open the phone and answered. "Hey Mike, what's up?"

[heretic888]

"Donny!" Mike said jovially. "Guess what?? Leo's back, and.... uhhh, better meet me at my dojo. Something's come up. Laterz."

*click*

[Jade Green]

"Donny!" Mike said jovially. "Guess what?? Leo's back, and.... uhhh, better meet me at my dojo. Something's come up. Laterz."

*click*

"Huh? wait, wha-." But Mike had hung up. Donatello sighed, putting away his phone and starting for Mike's dojo.

~~~

"Well that was rather quick." Randi said, "You sound like you need to be in one of those cellphone comercials that claim not to charge by the minute."

[Lady Estel]

"And because of what you know, you're a threat." Randi said, "Sounds perfectly logical. You could easily sell her out, but the question is, are you?"

"waddaya mean?" Silver raised an eyebridge

[heretic888]

"Well that was rather quick." Randi said, "You sound like you need to be in one of those cellphone comercials that claim not to charge by the minute."

Mike's entire demeanor had changed to one of deadly seriousness, a sharp contrast to his normally relaxed and amicable self. He was staring straight up at the dojo ceiling, and didn't even bother to respond to Randi's jib.

"Y'know," he replied in a sullen tone, "I almost didn't sense you there. Almost."

Suddenly, a shadow seemed to spring to life and descend from the ceiling. It corporealized somewhat, and took the form of a tall, muscular anthropomorphic black panther.

"Greetings, Michelangelo." The panther sneered.

"Hello, Kagato." Mike replied calmly. "What are you doing here, exactly??"

Randi kept her expression the same as the panther dropped from the cieling, making it impossible to tell whether or not she had really noticed the mutant's precense or not. She kept silent, noting the demeanor between the turtle and the panther, waiting to see what 'Kagato's' reply was before she really did anything; howver, that didnt mean she couldn't charge up her own... defenses.

[heretic888]

"Heard some shots, old man." The panther replied with a cocky grin. "Just wanted to see what was up and up."

"I'm sure you were deeply concerned," Mike replied sarcastically.

"Of course." He said with a low laugh.

"Well, if there's nothing else," Mike trailed off, turning his back to the panther. "I'm kinda in the middle of something."

"Yeah, there is, kame." Kagato replied. "Our rematch."

Mike turned his head around slowly to Kagato. "I see."

There was a moment of silence piercing the room...

[Jade Green]

"Yeah, there is, kame." Kagato replied. "Our rematch."

Mike turned his head around slowly to Kagato. "I see."

There was a moment of silence piercing the room...

And the silence was broken by the clearing of Randi's throat. "This is going to sound Ironic, seeing as we're currently standing in the middle of the Dojo, but now's not the time to fight."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo looked at Kagato for a moment. He then turned away again.

"She's right," He replied calmly. "We're in the middle of something right now, and I don't have time to waste with you, Kagato. Perhaps.."

"Hell NO, kame!!" Kagato screamed out loud. "You humiliated me!! We're gonna settle this..."

"Watch your tongue, student." Mike interrupted him, in a very calm, forboding voice. His words seemed to have an eery air about them, an effect similar to 'the voice' in Dune. Mike pointed his right index finger at the panter. "YOU were the one that betrayed this dojo. YOU were the one that sought to usurp my position. YOU were the one that tried to sell out MY students to the Foot. That was inexcusable behavior."

Kagato growled in reply. "Why, you self-righteous...."

"And," Mike continued. "When I found out about your dishonorable actions and confronted you, you actually had the GALL to physically challenge me. You couldn't leave the dojo in peace, but felt the need to dishonor yourself further by attacking its master. You got what you deserved."

Kagato was silent.

"We have nothing further to say," Mike said. "You brought this 'humiliation' upon yourself. You are a disgrace to this dojo and to our tradition. Go back to the Foot, traitor."

With that, Kagato charged with a ferocious roar...

[Jade Green]

But the ex student would never even make it to Michelangelo -- at least not with that attempt -- as a sudden, large psionic force collided with Kagato's side like a football player tackling an apponent and sending him flying into the wall opposite the female turtle.

"I don't think I made myself clear." She said, her red eye seemingly getting bright as she peered over her sunglasses at him, "This is not the time to fight."

However, she thought as several bladed weapons pulled themselves from out of their holding stand and fly over towards the panther. The blades cirounded him and stopped a few feet from Kagato, to act as a threatening precense against him. Exceptions can be made.

[heretic888]

By this point, Mike had become fully aware of Randi's psi --- but neither of them seemed to concered with that, at the moment. Mike had stood in place, completely unmoved from his initial position. As was as if the last few moments hadn't even fazed him at all...

The psychokinetic 'blast' was powerful enough to hurl Kagato across the room, but not to actually damage him. He flipped to his feet as he was thrown, with a satisfied grin on his face.

Suddenly, the weapons flew at his body --- freezing him in place.

Kagato turned to Mike, "Lettin' y' new girl do y' fightin' for yah, eh, kame?"

Mike's expression did not change, as he know the panther was trying to get a rise out of him. Kagato doubted such a coy tactic would work against the turtle, anyway...

The panther sneered and turned to Randi. "That the best y' got, sugah?"

With that, he disappeared in a black blur --- almost completely unseen in the dim light of the dojo. He was charging right towards Randi, and whizzed right through the weapons without difficulty.

"Randi!" Mike knew what Kagato was about to do, the panther's claws extended.

[Jade Green]

With that, he disappeared in a black blur --- almost completely unseen in the dim light of the dojo. He was charging right towards Randi, and whizzed right through the weapons without difficulty.

"Randi!" Mike knew what Kagato was about to do, the panther's claws extended.

Randi wasn't surprised that he was able to escape the weapons, he was a martial artist and the weapons were just floating there anyways. As mentioned before hand, she had been preparring her own defenses as Kagato and Mike were talking making her psionic field wider than what she normally kept it.

As soon as she felt him enter her range, she forced him back again with another burst of tk -- just enough to destract him -- and immediatly forced herself into his mind, and quickly finding his hypothalamus, (or what ever the senses are connected to) temporarily cutting off his sense of hearing and sight.

[heretic888]

"Whu?!" Kagato was slightly taken aback by the attack. Just slightly. He quickly rebounded and darted toward Randi again, as if he somehow knew where she was.

"You'll have tah do better than that, girly!!" He boasted, planting his left foot across the side of her face. "Mikey used to teach me blindfolded all th' time!"

[Jade Green]

"Whu?!" Kagato was slightly taken aback by the attack. Just slightly. He quickly rebounded and darted toward Randi again, as if he somehow knew where she was.

"You'll have tah do better than that, girly!!" He boasted, planting his left foot across the side of her face. "Mikey used to teach me blindfolded all th' time!"

(He's also deaf ^.^)

Alright, so she wasn't expecting that. It was a basic instinct for most people whom have suddenly lost control of ther sight and hearing to, well, panic. The main reason she had taken those senses away was to simply catch his attention, but obviously she'd have to be a bit... Louder. She took a few steps backwards to catch her balance and rubbed her sore cheek and grinned.

Have a seat. She replied cheerfully in the deaf feline's mind as a strong force of TK slammed him onto his butt. She kept the TK force on him, keeping him down. Now, Mr. Kagato, as I was saying -- believe it or not -- this is not the time to fight. We've got more important things to worry about at the moment and frankly, I am not in the mood. She paused in thought, On second thought, however, it would be fun to whitness a real ninja at work as he differentiates himself from a psuedo ninja... Randi shrugged visibly. Then again, I could always make you think you're a chicken... or mouse, sound like fun?

[Jade Green]

Randi then eyed Mike. "He's your enemy, your ex student." She told him, "The effect I put on his hearing and sight won't last long, what do you want to do with him?"

[heretic888]

Michelangelo had been fairly calm this entire time. Kagato knew Mike could have probably easily intercepted one of his attacks but did not. Why?? He just seemed to stop suddenly, and step back on the sidelines. Why??

"Nothing, Randi." Mike replied casually. "His caretakers have already arrived, just as I'd predicted."

"What?!" Kagato piped.

Two shadowy figures appeared next to Michelangelo. They were higher-level Foot ninja. And they seemed a bit annoyed.

"I apologize for the inconvenience, Michelangelo-san," One of them said sincerely, with a slight bow. "Kagato was instructed not to cause contention for you and your family. You can be assured that he will be disciplined for this discretion."

Mike nodded. "No problem."

Kagato was livid. He stared blankly at Michelangelo, even though he couldn't actually see him yet (Randi's attack was still in place). "You knew this would happen!! You played me!!"

"Yes, student." Mike said calmly, turning back to Kagato. "I did. One of the most basic lessons I taught was to avoid direct confrontation, and you should have heeded that. Now, instead, you are to be punished for your recklessness. I think there's a lesson here, neh?"

"But," Kagato blurted, "how did you know?? How did you know they'd find me?? How did you know they'd come here??"

Mike smirked. "I've been doing this stuff fer near-30 years, kid. After a while, you start to pick up on subtle hints and patterns that you missed out on before."

Kagato was actually flabergasted. He now knew Mike was faking his "outrage" beforehand, clearly to buy the Foot guardians some time to arrive. Kagato gasped in actual shock.

"Come, student," the second Foot ninja said. "It is time to return home. You have some explaining to do to Mistress Karai."

As they were on their way out the door, Mike said, "Please send Karai my regards."

The Foot ninja nodded. And, with that, they had disappeared.

[Jade Green]

Randi released the force of psy energy that was holding Kagato to the ground and looked to the two that had come for him. "He can hear now, but it might take another fifteen minutes before he can see again." She then looked to Mike, Leo and Silver.

"Well, now that's over with, back to the topic at hand."

[hazlov2004]

amy had no idea why she was fellowing the turtles if one of them see`s me i am so gonna get my butt kicked she started to think

[Jade Green]

(wtf, Hazlov, do yourself a favor and READ what's already posted)

[hazlov2004]

ok i`ll play as amy

[Jade Green]

alright, you're playing as AMY
but how are you following the turtles?
First of all, they're not going any where,
they're INSIDE Michelangelo's Dojo.
Are you listening in on thier conversation?
If so, how are you doing it? From were in or out of the Dojo are you listening?

[heretic888]

((oy vey. :roll: ))

[hazlov2004]

amy had listening to them talk form outside she had been near the door and started to think my dad alway`s did this spying on people good thing that me and my dad is rich her dad`s company had started going under and spying on people did not do any good

[Jade Green]

amy had listening to them talk form outside she had been near the door and started to think my dad alway`s did this spying on people good thing that me and my dad is rich her dad`s company had started going under and spying on people did not do any good

(...*cough*... do you know what quotation marks are?)

[heretic888]

(......)

[Jade Green]

(......)

(*sigh*)

Randi felt yet another presence outside near the entrance of the Dojo; for a moment she thought that Donatello had finally made it, but then she realized that the psi energy was not turtle-like at all. "Do you always have random visitors during all hours of the night, or are things a bit slower than usual tonight?"

~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Donatello parked his car across from his brother's Dojo and spotted a girl (Amy) putting her ear against the door. Well that's unexpected, he mused, stepping out and locking his door. He was sure that Michaelangelo already was aware of the girl's presence and since he had not done anything about it yet, that the girl was no threat. Moving swiftly and silently, he came up behind Amy.

"Can I help you?"

[heretic888]

"Well," Mike commented nonchalantly, "not all are random. Donny's here."

Mike seemed to be completely uninterested in the girl, and showed no sign of being aware of her presence.

[Jade Green]

Randi decided not to point out the girl's precense any more and waited for Don to enter.

When the girl didn't answer, Don shrugged and went in side. "Hey Mikie, Leo, Sorry I'm a little late, but -- uh..." The first person Don noticed was Silver, and then Randi. "Well, uh... this is new."

[hazlov2004]

amy looked behind her she looked at the turtle for a minute wait she said dont go i want you to help me with something she stoped him and said i need your help you see my dad`s compeny is going under and i want to get it back on top amy had to do something but not tell him why she had think my dad alway`s told me to lie but if they find out im gonna get my butt kicked

[Jade Green]

But alas, Donatello did not hear a word Amy said because he had already walked inside and was utterly dumb struck by the sight of an albino turtle and a female turtle.

Which was kind of funny, seeing that Amy was supposedly a turtle..

[heretic888]

((*sigh* hazlov, could you at leat attempt to punctuate your sentences??))

"Donny!" Mike exclaimed cheerfully. "Glad you could make it on such short notice, man!!" He ran up and hugged his brother.

[Jade Green]

Donny hugged back, smiling, but was obviously distracted. "Hey Mikey, Leo... I haven't seen you two in a while -- I guess I've been too busy with work."

[heretic888]

Mike smiled broadly, but just as quickly his smile subsided. At least somewhat, anyways.

Mike quickly went about explaining to Don the situation, and what had taken place the past 24 hours. "So, y'see, we kinda need your expertise here, bro."

[Jade Green]

Don nodded, "I'll see what I can do." He said, "But i've still got work and all, as Supervisor, I sorta need to be-..."

"Don't worry about it." Randi said.

Don looked confused, during his explaination, Mike had been kind enough to introduce Silver and Randi to him; however, not even Mike had known Randi's last name. "I'm sorry, what?"

"Don't worry about your job."

"What? Why?"

"I'll get some one to fill in during your absense, no big deal." She shrugged.

"Wait, and exactly how are you going to do that?"

"Eh?" Randi thought about it for a moment, "I'll just give Jade a call in the morning," She replied, "She'll take care of it."

Now Jade was a name that Donatello knew. She was the personal assistant to the very owner of the company, someoen by the name of: "Miranda Tezlof?"

"In the flesh, or should I say, shell?" She shrugged again, "Like I said, don't worry about it -- worry about this -- Its more important, I think."

[heretic888]

Donny's boss?? Mike thought to himself. Well, this should be interesting...

[Jade Green]

Donny's boss?? Mike thought to himself. Well, this should be interesting...

Still a bit ruffled on meeting his boss and finding out that she was in actuallity a turtle, he looked to Mike. "Alright, show me what information on this woman you have so far." He meant, of course, the information Silver had shown them earlier.

[heretic888]

Michelangelo nodded to Silver. "Silver??"

[Lady Estel]

Michelangelo nodded to Silver. "Silver??"
((sorry, I've just finished college. Just think Leo's hugged DOnny, kay?)))

Silver nodded at the new turtle.
"Creature file: 51lv3r. I was 'ear to learn ninjitsu and ended up havin to tell 'em a lil summat 'bout my past. These files might in'erest you, accordin' to them."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo sat down into a lotus position, and prepared to which the rest of the 'footage' that Silver projected...

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo sat down into a lotus position, and prepared to which the rest of the 'footage' that Silver projected...

Donatello watched with keen interest, taking mental notes of times, places, technologies used.... etc; on the other hand, it was hard to tell if Randi was really watching at all thanks to her sunglasses. She sat the farthest away, her shell against the wall and crossed her arms.

Once the projections were done, Donatello looked to Silver. "To get this cleared up, is the company that mutated you still around? IF not, when did it disband?"

Silver looked down. "Nah, It's been destroyed. These files are all that's left. It's kinda hard to control the detonators...in short I blew it up. I don't know if it's disbanded though."
"Giselle will, right?" Leo raised an eyeridge.
"Probably."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo, still in lotus position, turned his head away from Silver and toward Don. "So, bro, think there's anything you can do to bypass that stuff??"

[Jade Green]

((*feels very stupid* Do you mean bypass the stuff that would case the detinations on Silver or what? >.< I'm sorry, I'm not 100% clear on what is wanted of Donatello))

[heretic888]

((Yes, bypass the security countermeasures programmed into Silver.))

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo, still in lotus position, turned his head away from Silver and toward Don. "So, bro, think there's anything you can do to bypass that stuff??"

"Its goanna take time," Donatello replied thoughtfully, "And I'll need the propper tools." He looked to Randi.

Randi shrugged, "Use what ever you need, I'll be sure Jade makes out the proper papers if such is the case."

"Thanks..." Don said, not sure what else to say. "When do you think you could get them to me?"

"By lunch, the latest." She replied. "But knowing Jade, earlier than that."

[heretic888]

"By lunch??" Mike said with a raised eyeridge. "Guess we're talkin' an all-nighter, then?? Not that I thought something like this would actually be resolved in a single night, but...."

Mike looked at the others. "So, what's the plan, then?? Should we all meet up sometime in the mornin'?? I also have places to sleep here, if anybody is interested..."

[Jade Green]

"By lunch??" Mike said with a raised eyeridge. "Guess we're talkin' an all-nighter, then?? Not that I thought something like this would actually be resolved in a single night, but...."

Mike looked at the others. "So, what's the plan, then?? Should we all meet up sometime in the mornin'?? I also have places to sleep here, if anybody is interested..."

Randi stood from where she had been sitting on the floor. "I'm going." She said, "I need to get in contact with Jade plus I've a few more things I need to personally get done before morning."

"I'll stay here." Don replied, "Having hung out here for a while anyways, right Leo?"

[Lady Estel]

"By lunch??" Mike said with a raised eyeridge. "Guess we're talkin' an all-nighter, then?? Not that I thought something like this would actually be resolved in a single night, but...."

"I'll stay here." Don replied, "Having hung out here for a while anyways, right Leo?"

"We'll stay, right rookie?" Silver nods.
"Gonna hafto ain't I, gots nowhere else ta go. You workin on me den, tommorra?" (I sound bloody English Cockney than Australian.)

[heretic888]

Michelangelo nodded. "Right. The, let's all meet up here again around 10 in the morning, 'kay??"

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo nodded. "Right. The, let's all meet up here again around 10 in the morning, 'kay??"

"Ten it is." Randi said, walking to the door. "That should hopefully give me enough time anyways..."

"Ms. Tezlof, wait....!" Randi stopped and glanced curiously at Donatello. He rubbed the back of his head, "It was a pleasure meeting you..."

"...right.... likewise.. good night." She turned back to the door.

[heretic888]

Michelangelo chuckled at his brother's shyness in the presence of his boss. "G'night, Randi."

"C'mon, guys." Mike laughed, "We got a lotta catchin' up to do...." He said, walking toward the kitchen (off to the rear of the dojo).

[Jade Green]

Randi merely nodded to Mike and the rest and left. Outside, she adjusted her long coat one last time and started down the street. "Hrmm... who says that one can't have interesting nights anymore...?" She pulled out her phone and began to dial away...

~~~~~

Don grinned at his two brothers and the austrailian albino. "Agreed, Leo, I want to hear everything that happened in Austrailia."

[Lady Estel]

Michelangelo chuckled at his brother's shyness in the presence of his boss. "G'night, Randi."

"C'mon, guys." Mike laughed, "We got a lotta catchin' up to do...." He said, walking toward the kitchen (off to the rear of the dojo).

"Yeah, G'night hotstuff!" Yelled Silver, Leonardo clouted him on the head.
"Yeowch!, You all metal or something?" Silver shakes his head.

[heretic888]

Michelangelo rolled his eyes at Silver as he went back to grab some sodas out of his dojo's mini-fridge...

[Jade Green]

((Well, can we assume that nothing else is happening that night?))

[Lady Estel]

Michelangelo rolled his eyes at Silver as he went back to grab some sodas out of his dojo's mini-fridge...

Silver innocently grinned.

"What's this job then Donnie?" ((I am assuming Donnie is there.))

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo rolled his eyes at Silver as he went back to grab some sodas out of his dojo's mini-fridge...

Silver innocently grinned.

"What's this job then Donnie?" ((I am assuming Donnie is there.))

Donatello sighed, "I'm going to bypass the security countermeasures that have been programed into you and possibly deactivate, if not safely take out intirely, those detinators you were talking about." He grabbed a Dr. Pepper, "Hopefully, by doing so, we will be able to get the needed information more freely and... you don't have to worry about any accidents."

Leo smiled looking at the nervous Silver. "You have nothing to worry about, rookie. Donnie is a genius when it comes to technology." He took a diet pepsi(I asume he'd drink something like that.). "Cheers mike. "

[heretic888]

Michelangelo just shrugged and laughed, downing his Mountaind Dew: Code Red. :lol:

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo just shrugged and laughed, downing his Mountaind Dew: Code Red. :lol:

While the guys talked the rest of the night away. Randi had made her way back to her own place, immediatly getting to work on her 'chores'. Mouki Tech, after all, wasn't her only business. She made sure to call Jade McGreen and told her about the situation. Jade, of course, was happy get get to work on it.

It was about 3 am before Randi finally tried to go to sleep, and about 4-4:30 before she actually did...

[heretic888]

Michelangelo awoke quite early, around 5 AM. He usually only required 5 or so hours of sleep, and was a bit excited due to the series of events that had occured in the last 24 hours.

He got up and begen doing some stretching in the dojo to loosen up his ligaments....

Randi couldn't exactly sleep all that much either. Her mind was racing with thoughts of duty and business and so, about Six thirty she slipped out of bed and grudgingly headed for the shower. She wondered a little if she was going to regret ever meeting Michelangelo and the rest.

A little too late for that now.

Stepping out of the shower, she toweled off and headed for the kitchen. Food, yes, that's what she needed. Food.

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo awoke quite early, around 5 AM. He usually only required 5 or so hours of sleep, and was a bit excited due to the series of events that had occured in the last 24 hours.

He got up and begen doing some stretching in the dojo to loosen up his ligaments....

"Morning, Mikey. Donatello said as he entered the dojo, stretching out his arms and then moved to one side to work out his own ligaments. It wasn't that Donatello stoped practicing ninjitsu, it was just that now days he had put most of his time in his carreer. "You know..." He said, working out his legs, "I always thought that the owner of Mouki Technologies was just extremely introverted; I never even considered her to be a mutant, muchless a mutant turtle like us..."

He paused and rubbed his forehead in thought. It was more than a bit improbable but he susposed he shouldn't be so surprised given the name's meaning: blind turtle. Randi Tezlof sure as hell didn't seem blind to him. He shrugged it off and went back to his own ruitine.

[heretic888]

"Yeah.... it is something of an odd coincidence." Mike nodded, stretching his neck to and fro. "Think she might'a known who we are??"

[Jade Green]

"Yeah.... it is something of an odd coincidence." Mike nodded, stretching his neck to and fro. "Think she might'a known who we are??"

"I dunno." Donatello rolled his shoulders, "You met her fist... though now I understand why I got my job." He recalled that day. The supervisor had refused him because he had been a mutant; Donatello, while leaving, had bumped into an irish woman by the name of McGreen... Tezlof's assistant. Their papers got mixed together and...

Donnie smirked, HE was now the supervisor for experemental technologies. He guessed Randi didn't take it so lightly when she found out that a mutant like her had been rejected. "Maybe she recognized the name of the dojo?" He asked, "ITs the only way she would have been able to connect us with out looking in deeper."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo nodded. "I suppose so." He did a few brisk rolls, and then turned to his brother again. "Soooo, Donny," He grinned in a half-evil way, "think she might go out with me??" A smirk.

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo nodded. "I suppose so." He did a few brisk rolls, and then turned to his brother again. "Soooo, Donny," He grinned in a half-evil way, "think she might go out with me??" A smirk.

"Uh..." Donatello didn't look too keen on answering that question. Some how, the idea of his little brother dating his boss didn't sound kosher to him. True, up until now he had presumed that Miranda Tezlof was human; he was still getting used to her being a mutant turtle like them. Finally, he shrugged his shoulders, "I dunno. She might." She was kinda cute; he wondered what she looked like with out those sunglasses? He grinned, "But then again, maybe she'd rather date me."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo laughed. "Date an employee? That's not against company policy??"

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo laughed. "Date an employee? That's not against company policy??"

"Dating the employee's little brother is almost as bad." He countered. At least it would be for him. "Besides, I don't think many of the people there know that she's a turtle, aside from Jade and me... well, maybe Mischev too."

[heretic888]

Little?? Michelangelo chuckled with a grin. "Whatever, bro."

After finishing his morning stretches, Mike headed to the 'kitchen' to scrounge up some breakfast...[/i]

[Jade Green]

Little?? Michelangelo chuckled with a grin. "Whatever, bro."

A few minutes before nine thirty, Randi Tezlof stepped onto the very street corner that she had been on last night when she had spotted Mike's Dojo. Almost immediatly a slender red haired woman confronted her. "I really dun' know why ya choose ta walk all tha blo'dy time, ma'am." She said quickly in an irish accent, "If ya dun' want ta drive, ya know I will -- 'tis part o' me job."

Randi only grumbled incoherently in reply. Not only did she get to bed late, but she could barely sleep. If it wasn't because she was plauged with one thought or another, it was because Wolfram, (germanic meaning wolf-raven) her adolescent border collie, chose to bark at something outside. Not that there really should have been anything outside, seeing as her loft was on the top floor.

It wasn't that Randi couldn't drive; she very well could if she wanted to. She just didn't like to. It was just too much of a hassle to determine the color of the stop light. You'd think it'd be easy enough: far right or top - red, far left, or near the bottom - Green; but try determining that from far away as you're some distance away!! And as for Jade's driving?

Jade had never gotten into a car wreck before, but the woman drove like -- for lack of a better term -- a bat out of hell: Weaving to and thro through traffic as if it was no problem at all... Some times, even Randi liked to take things peacefully.

"When I need a lift, I'll tell you." Randi replied, crossing the street.

"Oh, yes, I got ta pro'pa papers ready for Mr. Hamato-..."

"Donatello Hamato."

"Righ'." Jade nodded, walking along side her. "An' as fer you, yeh've got a conf'rance call w'Mischev some time today and errr they've been mean' ta speak to yeh too." Randi merely nodded at this, reaching the other corner. "An' also," Jade added cheerily, "I've scheduled yer bi anual appointment with Dr. Scotland." To this, Randi moaned. "Oh dun' give me tha', you need teh 'ave yer check up an' you know it."

"All that woman ever talks about is her 'wonderful' husband and her three 'darling' hatchlings." Randi grumbled, "'Gabriel did this last weak', 'Alexiel said thisyesterday', 'Azrael is growing up so fast!'"

"Oh, but Morgan loves it when ya visit!"

To this, Randi snorted, "That's because I'm the only other female turtle she really knows here in the north." She stopped a few feet short from the dojo's door. "Do you know what she had the nerve to ask me last time?! She asked me when I was going to try and settle down! Can you believe that? 'Michael an' I know of a male who'd love to meet you'!" Randi frowned, "On of Michael's poker buddie's and patient... some guy by the name of 'Raphael'. Supposed to be some sort of bad-ass... Ha!"

"They do have a point though, ya really do need ta start datin'." Jade replied, "Yer not gettin' any younger... say, why not one o' Mr. Hamato's brothas? Tha' Michaelangelo ya mentioned sounded interestin'..."

Randi merely hushed her assistant and knocked on the door.

[heretic888]

Randi had barely gotten the first knock in when the door casually swung open. Michelangelo was standing there with a relaxed grin. It was evident he had sensed Randi's approach for quite some time (her psi levels, after all, were enormous) and decided to meet her at the door.

"G'mornin', Randi." Mike smiled. He then turned to Jade. "Hi." He grinned again.

"G'mornin', Randi." Mike smiled. He then turned to Jade. "Hi." He grinned again.

"Like wise," Randi muttered, moving past him and into the Dojo.

Jade was more cheerful. "Why good mornin' there good sir! Ya must be Michelangelo, eh? Or are you Leonardo?"

"Michelangelo." Randi called out in reply.

"Ah, nice ta meat ya then." She offered her free hand for a shake.

(Sorry!)

Silver awoke watching the festivities as Leonardo warmed up. He snikered as he heard Mike speak of dating Miranda.

"Hiya Randi. "
He looked at Silver, who was upside down half awake, and grinning.
"How the heck-?"
"Keeps me charged."
"More like charging your brain." Leo laughed as the younger turtle fell on his head with an "oof."
"Ha ha, ol' fogey!"

[Jade Green]

Not in any mood to deal with such stupidity. Randi merely muttered a morning to both Silver and Leonardo heading straight for Donatello who was in Mike's 'Office' doing something or other on the computer. Jade, after greeting Mike, simple nodded to the other two whom she assumed to be Leonardo and Silver and followed her boss.

"Morning Miss Tezlof." Donatello said cheerfully as Randi reached the door to which she merely mumbled something about him just calling her Randi for now.
"Jade's got the papers." She simply announced, "All the Technology at Mouki Tech is now available for your personal use until the situation with Silver's resolved."
"Thanks," Donatello nodded and looked to Jade with a grin. "Morning Jade."
"Mornin' Mr. Hamato." Jade smiled with respectful cheerfullness, handing him the documents as Randi wandered back out into the Dojo. "Since its a saturday, there's not many people at Mouki Tech, this might be the best time to start..."
Donatello nodded and ensuring that Randi was out of earshot he whipsered to her, "Why didn't you tell me she was a turtle?"
"Y-you didn't ask?" She suggested, "And Miss Tezlof likes to handle things from behind the curtain, if you know what I mean." She shrugged.

Started back over to where Michelangelo stood, "Got anything to drink here? Like maybe Coffee? Or Sodas?"

Leonardo nodded at both ladies. "Nice to see you again Randi, Miss...?"
Silver smiled, standing upright and shaking his wrists.

"Jade." She replied, "Jade McGreen, pleased ta meat ya." She offered her hand to Leonardo.

[Lady Estel]

Leonardo shook her hand, "Leonardo Hamato, Donnie's older brother and Mike's"
"I'm Silver." the albino smiled at the girl warmly and contiued to adjust the settings on his arm. [/quote]

((pssst... Estel, they're all the same age. :P ))

"Michelangelo." Randi called out in reply.

"Ah, nice ta meat ya then." She offered her free hand for a shake.

Michelangelo casually took Jade's hand. "Likewise," he grinned, intentionally mirroring Randi's response from two seconds earlier. He chuckled jovially.

Started back over to where Michelangelo stood, "Got anything to drink here? Like maybe Coffee? Or Sodas?"
"

"Oh," Mike replied, "sorry, Jade, but I don't drink any coffee and I discourage my students from doing so. But, there should be a few sodas in the fridge." He motioned back to the kitchen. "Please help yourself."

Mike was a bit amused at Don's little 'conversation' with Jade, and turned to talk with Randi. "Got a good night's sleep, I hope??"[/quote]

Randi shrugged half heartedly and opened the fridge only to raise her eyebrows. "Mike, the reason for discouraging your students to drink Coffee isn't because of the caffine, is it?" A Mountain dew shot to her hand.

[Lady Estel]

"possibly, or Mike doesn't want hyper students. He never needed the stuff to be full of energy."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo raised an eyeridge in amusment. "Actually, that Mountain Dew probably has more caffeine than the coffee. I dissuade them from drinking coffee because of the effect the chemical makeup has on 'ki' flow..."

Randi chuckled, opening the Mountain Dew. The very reason why she asked Mike if it were because of the caffine in coffee was because of how much more caffine Mountain Dew had. "Ki flow... better reason than the caffine then..." She took a sip as Jade walked out of the 'office'.
"I be havin' some work ta do, Randi." She told the female turtle, "Call me if you need me."
Randi, gave her a thumbs up, "Will do."
"An' don't ferget, tom'rrow at Eight A.m."
"Right... right..." she muttered taking a sip of her drink, "Tomorrow, eight, Daily... right."
Jade nodded her good byes and left.

[heretic888]

Michelangelo smiled at Randi's chuckle and then turned back towards Donatello. "So, Donny, how long you think this'll take yah??"

[Jade Green]

Michelangelo smiled at Randi's chuckle and then turned back towards Donatello. "So, Donny, how long you think this'll take yah??"

"Well..." Donatello rubbed the back of his neck and glanced over to Silver. "If we leave for the lab right now? I'd say it'd depend on how long it will take me to by pass the initial security in his system, which is by far perhaps the most risk we will-..."

"In a nut-shell: He doesn't know." Randi interupted, taking a sip from her drink. "Might as well start heading down there..."

[heretic888]

Michelangelo nodded, tossing his emptied soda can into the garbage. "Alrighty, then... let's head out."

He started to head toward the door. "But, keep yer eyes open. Dunno if that assassin is still snooping about..."
