((( :P All we need is for someone to get amnesia! *Grabs a giant mallet and goes off in search of Azure* Sshhhh... be vewy, vewy, quiet, I'm hunting blue turtles! :lol: )))

Shrouded in a traditional shinobi shozoku (ninja 'nightsuit'), Michelangelo stealthily made his way through the corridors approaching the Shredder's quarters. He skillfully coordinated his breathing and muscular efforts, blending his movements into the shadows of the hall.

Silencing his mind of all passion and thought, Mike entered a state of mu-shin, 'no mind'. In such a state, Saki would be unable to utilize his ability to feel the presence (sakkijutsu) of his reptilian assassin. And the shelled ninja warrior knew this.

Silenty, effortlessly, he entered the Shredder's room without arousing his prey. He krept up to the Japanese crimelord's bedside. No anger or contempt showed in Michelangelo's masked face. He was perfectly aware of the unspeakable atrocities Saki had commited in the past. But, this was not a mission of vengeance. It was a mission of justice, of detached action.

Maintaing a state of perfect calm and equanimity, as Master Splinter had taught him for so many years, Michelangelo silenty unsheated the straight-bladed ninja-to stapped to his left side. He raised the sword above Saki's slipping figure, the blade pointing five inches from his throat.

The last thing the infamous Shredder saw was the lightning-fast flash of steel that descended upon his being. Then.... darkness.

The mission was successful.

((Umm..Heretic...a lot of this section is RPG's. It's kinda distracting to put in character posts where people might get confused. You can assassinate Shredder in a new thread :wink: ))

[heretic888]

(yeah, but it WAS cool. :D )

[Kameko]

((( :nod: Yeah, it was pretty well-written, but as far as the current story-line is concerned, it's WAY off in left field, dude. :goofygri: )))

[heretic888]

(well, no one's perfect... :evilgrin: )

[Kameko]

(((...true.. :ohwell: .)))

[heretic888]

(okay how's this?)

Michelangelo gets kinda bored. So, he whips out his favorite cd, Limp Bizkit's "Chocolate Dtarfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water", and starts playing track 7 "Livin It Up". The insane postmodern rock blares throughout the lair, pissing everyone off royally.

Michelangelo moshes in glee.

(((It still doesn't make much sense. Try going back a ways and reading some of the earlier pages -- then you'll have a good idea of what's going on.)))

[azure turtle]

(( Sorry, had a very busy day today. I don't have time to catch up with all the posts tonight, since I gotta sleep... And I'm feeling sick at the moment. *sigh* ))

*Azure felt something fly right by him. Hearing a light "thud" nearby, he looked at the ground and saw the dart.*

Aw crap! Don't tell me it's hunting season!

*He turned around and ran as fast as he could towards the wooded area. Azure didn't notice that Leonardo was steadily approaching him*

[Kali]

Splinter: Raphael, please come with me.

*Raph shrugged and followed him out of the room. They headed for the bathroom, where Donnie was standing in the doorway, having managed to get Kali out of the corner. Kali was leaning up against the doorframe, looking just as miserable as when Splinter left her*

[Machias Banshee]

((Sorry, i've been working on some of my writing...If i dont get any done sooner or later, i'm gonna get lynched...:goofygri: ))

*Raph felt his heart sink when he saw Kali's condition. He went up to her, wrapping his arms around her in a gentle hug. kissing her forehead.*

Raph: Come on, Babe, its okay...everything's okay, i'm here for you...

[Kali]

((No need to appoligize.))

*Kali leaned into Raphael's arms, all her tears spent. she was slightly embarrassed by her breakdown, but it felt comforting to be in Raphael's arms*

*Don watched for a few seconds before starting to become uncomfortable* Well, I'm just gonna... I have to... um, yeah. *he headed off back to his lab*

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter turned away for a moment, letting them have a private moment.*

~ They need to discuss with each other, its becoming too important for Kali's well-being~

[Kali]

*in a weak voice* Raph. I'm sorry, Raph, I just can't go through with it.

Raph: Shhh... *he rubbed her back and started rocking softly* It's okay. Don't make yourself sick over this. You know I'm still gonna love you.

I know. *pause* I love you too, Raph.

[Machias Banshee]

*Splinter turned, regarding them both softly*

Sp: Raphael, take her to your room...I will meet you there in a moment.
*He turned and headed to the kitchen, to prepare a tea for Kali...*

[Kali]

*Raphael held Kali around the waist, walking her to their room. She sat on the bed and he brushed the hair out of her eyes before sitting next to her*

I'm sorry. I- I have no idea what came over me. Don's right, the injections are doing something weird to me.

*Raph chuckled and kissed her temple* Everything's alright now.

[Machias Banshee]

*The water boiled as Splinter prepared the herb blend for Kali's tea. Once prepared, he took the pot from the stove, filling the cup, allowing the tea to permeate the water. He turned off the stove, picked up the mug of tea, and headed back to Raphael and Kali's room. He knocked gently twice...*

[Kali]

Raph: Come on in.

*Splinter opened the door to see Raph and Kali cuddled together on the edge of the bed. He handed Kali the tea and took a seat in a chair, waiting a few moments for her to drink some tea and calm her nerves a bit*

[Skeletoncrew]

*Skeletoncrew slowly awoke in the infirmary. She was initially uncertain of her surroundings, but her aching body reminded her of the last few day's events. She wanted to stay in bed, but her bladder insisted that she get up.*

[Vespera Blaze]

(((Hah! Back from Chibi-con and ready to go! ah....where were we? Just kidding)))

*Manjari watched as the dart skimmed past Azure and imbedded in the ground. Clean miss, exactly what she was looking for*

Dallas: I can't belived you missed! You said you had it! *shoulders his rifle quickly and fires off a shot of his own*

*Kevin slipped off the ridge and down towards the woods in case the second shot missed*

[Skeletoncrew]

*After taking care of her first need, Skeletoncrew stared at herself in the mirror.* ~I'm a mess. I want a bath.~ *She walked slowly to the tub and started to fill it up.* ~I hope I'll be able to get back out when I'm done. I'd hate to have to yell for help.~

[Kali]

*Leonardo paused as Azure ran towards his location. By the way he was looking over his shoulder, Leo guessed he was running from something, and not towards him. Azure didn't even seem to notice he was there*

*Leo grabbed Azure's arm as he ran past and pulled him down into the bushes, covering his mouth* Azure, be quiet, it's me. *Azure settled down, but didn't lose the panicked look on his face* Azure, what happened?

**Kali sighed and stared into her half-full tea cup* I'm sorry I overreacted like that Splinter.

[azure turtle]

*Azure started babbling in a mad rush*
I went out for a walk, and suddenly this dart came flying after me, and I think someone's trying to kill me, so I started to run, and I didn't see you, but I swear someone's trying to kill me!!
*He runs out of breath and begins panting heavily*

[Kali]

*Leo grabbed Azure by the shoulders* I believe you, little bro. The question is, who is trying to kill you? *he moved past Azure to the edge of the bushes and tried to see if anyone was out there*

**Splinter nodded* It's quite understandable, child. Here, I believe this is yours. *takes Kali's folded dress out from his kimono and sets it on the desk*

Thank you, Splinter.

[azure turtle]

*Azure continued shaking nervously*
I... I... don't know...
*He looked around cautiously, dreading the possibility of being found*

[Vespera Blaze]

*Leo felt more than heard the thwipof the next dart passing close to his head*

Leo: Crap! Azure, move!

*He showed himself briefly, then bolted in the opposite direction from Azure. Maybe he could lure them away. There was another soft noise and he could see the neon pink tuft at the dart appear in the tree next to him. Yup, I defenitely got their attention.*

Dallas: Another one! This ones green... *he continued to fire at Leonardo*

*Manjari shook her head. Great. Not one, but two of them out for a walk when we come through. Perfect. Just what I needed.*

*Kevin stalked through the woods silently, and a crashing noise came to his attention. The blue turtle they had been stalking came into view, running along the trail to his left. He shouldered the gun, aimed and fired all in one smooth motion. Sweet! Perfect shot!*

[azure turtle]

*Azure yelped in pain as something stung him on the shoulder. He was shocked to see a dart sticking out of his skin and quickly pulled it out*

Gotta keep running! I can't stop...

*Suddenly, Azure felt a sickening sensation sweep through his body. His legs turned into rubber, and it felt like he was running through quick sand*

No... Can't give up...

*His eyes became heavy. His breathing slowed to a crawl*

S%&#... I'm finished...

*He collapsed face first, on the damp earth. He twitched a few times, until all was still.*

[Skeletoncrew]

*After waking Shredder pondered his dilemma. Leave Skeletoncrew alone and let her make her own decision regarding the child; or approach her about it? She surely wouldn't know about it yet....He finally sat down and sent her an e-mail before getting to work on Krang's big project.*

[NightwatchersOnlygirl]

Raphsgirl2004 ran into the room she was holding a dress for Kali to wear at the party that she was having she looks at Raphael and said "Are you coming too?" Raphael just smlied at her. :x
