~Sounds good. I gotta finish my project anyways. bye!~

*Machias woke, suddenly feeling a heaviness about her. She panicked as she felt the shackles on her arms and neck.*

voice: Dont worry, lass, this wont hurt a bit!

*Machias looked up and found herself looking into the most frightening face she had ever seen...Dr. Hammond.*

Saisei · 04-08-2002, 09:38 PM

~G'night, guys! Can't wait till tomorrow~

Mike: But she needs me, Leo!

Raph: *grabs his arm* Dammit, Mikey! Listen to him! You're not gonna be of any help to her if you rush in there with your mind elsewhere.

Mike: *backs off a little* Why did I have to be such a jerk to her?

C'mon. Let's go try to find Splinter and Azure and round up some more weapons.

*Mike mumbles a 'fine' and the group turns to leave, but Don stops them*

Don: Wait a sec! If their goal is to get Machias back into a full blooded raptor, then we might need some more of that antidote. There should still be a sample in my lab near the computer.

Leo: Right. One of you take care of that and try to bring everything over as soon as possible; we'll be keeping an eye out for you.

*They part in different directions*

**Kali** · 04-09-2002, 04:25 PM

~Okay, where is everyone? I got lost somewhere.~

Saisei · 04-09-2002, 04:45 PM

~Heheh...Well Leo, Don, Mike, Raph, Kali, and Saisei are all somewhere between the dojo and the pool, about to split up to help Machias who is in the inGen facilities I think. Azure is unconscious in the dojo with Splinter trying to help him out. I don't know where SC is at the moment. Hope that helps somewhat~

**Machias Banshee** · 04-09-2002, 05:15 PM

~That's right. Except I'm not in the facilities, I'm stuck in a truck heading there...Mike's gonna do something stupid to try and save me i fear.
Jeezum, this stupid opera turned completely into my friggin story! We got to change things somehow!~

*The needle went deep, and she hissed. She couldnt move, she was bound too tightlym, and now this sedative was starting to knock her out again. She looked up at the Doctor hurtfully, and he just roughly patted her cheek.*

Dr.: See Lass? Everythings going to be fine. We're just going to take you to a nice place to meet others of your kind, give you a nice place to sleep, and good people to take good care of you.

*Machias growled, and Hammond sat back. He didnt seem to like the response. His driver (bounty hunter) could see the doc's face and snorted*

BH: Eh, stupid little Lizard's not gonna be a problem once we get back to the conmpound.

Dr.: She's not a lizard, and she is NOT stupid, I assure you! The DNA in this young lady is Velociraptor, which makes her very important to the experiment. My plan depends upon her in order to accomplish our goal.

BH: What's your experiment, Doc?

Dr.: you'll see, you'll see...it will be Evolutionary

*With one last look at the Doctor, Machias focused on the mental practices taught to her by Master Splinter, and now sent out a desperate cry to him for help.*

~Help me, Master. Please...help me~

**azure turtle** · 04-09-2002, 05:25 PM

(( I'm completely at a loss for what to do next. And I'm unconscious, which doesn't help very much. Argh, the only bad thing about participating in RPGs is writer's block...*looks at Becoming and TMNT Chapter 4 RPGs* Ack. ))

**Machias Banshee** · 04-09-2002, 05:29 PM

~start waking up, do Splinter if you want. Whatever floats your mangoes.~

**azure turtle** · 04-09-2002, 05:47 PM

(( Oh man, I've never really RPed as Splinter...okay, here goes))

*Splinter continued to sit with his unconscious student, trying to figure out what had caused him to black out. He decided that the substance used was not very powerful, since Azure managed to wake up earlier. Splinter stood up and was about to go to the kitchen to mix some herbs whose vapor would awaken Azure, but something made him stop. He heard something. Wait, he felt something too. It was a cry for help...*

Splinter: Machias! I must inform my students! I'm sorry, but I need to leave you for a short time, Azure....

*Splinter runs to where the others had gathered*

Splinter: My students! I have received a message from Machias...she is in great danger and in a world of pain. You must act now, and you must act quickly!

**Machias Banshee** · 04-09-2002, 05:56 PM

~*snicker* Not bad for a first time. Dont worry, you'll get better with practice.~

*The others saw Splinter, worry etched into his face.*

Mike: She contacted you?! Is she okay?

Raph: Contact? What she reach, a phone or something?

Mike: No, you doof, she's got Tele-whatever powers.

Raph; How the hell am i supposed to know that?!

Sp: Enough. Arguing will not help anything. *Raph and Mike bowed submissively, and Splinter looked at everyone concernedly.*
I fear the danger for Machias is much worse than we first believed. She only said a few words before she disappeared again. the fear in her presence was very strong...

Saisei · 04-09-2002, 06:08 PM

Damm...we'd better hurry up and get the hell out of here then! There's not telling what they could do to her.

Mike: *growls* If they so much as touch her... I'll go get the antidote stuff Don asked for then. You guys go get the rest of the stock.

Splinter: *nods* I will be in the kitchen preparing some herbs. Would someone please watch over Azure while I'm gone?

*Saisei arches an eyebrow* Wha...

Splinter: He was evidenlty hit in the crossfire while they where taking Machias from the dojo and rendered unconscious. I'll be over to see to him shortly.

I'm on it. *heads off in the direction of the dojo*

**Machias Banshee** · 04-09-2002, 06:17 PM

~Sheesh! It was a joke!

~Glares very threateningly at Machias

j/k~

*Stepping into the lab, Mike quickly found what he was looking for and tucked it into his belt. Since the others where all busy in other parts of the cave lair, he used the opportunity to slip away before he could be stopped to search for his endangered girl. A grin crossed over his face as he noticed Raph's bike near the entrance...*

~

Mikey will always be my favorite, no matter how dumb he can be sometimes!~

*Everyone eventually rejoined in the living room, checking supplies before they headed out on their rescue mission.*

Don: Okay, we have weapons, tracking devices, Heat-sensing devices--

Raph: Jeezum, why dont we get our bazooka as well?

Leo: We need this if we're gonna find Machias.

Don: Well, the last thing we need is the Anti-dote, and Mike's supposed to be giving that to us.

Raph: Well, where the hell is he?

**Kali** · 04-09-2002, 08:35 PM

Knowing Mike...

Leo: Don't tell me he left already.

*the sound of a motorcycle starting up can be heard*

Raph: My bike! *they run out to the entrance just in time to see Mike take off on the bike* Damn him!

This just means we'll have to hurry up, or we'll have to rescue two of our friends.

Leo: Right. Kali, come with me. Raph, you, Don, and Saisei track the truck. Try and stall it if you manage to catch up.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-09-2002, 09:27 PM

*Mike sped away, not caring about how this could cause problems with the others' plan. He just wanted to get his girl back. He followed the tracks, increasing his speed as his worry multiplied.*

*Meanwhile, Machias laid in the truck bed, unconscious. The Doctor looked at her, amazed that he had found her after all these years. A sudden nasty whistling noise came from the vehicle before the truck slowed to a stop. The driver jumped out, muttering obscenities under his breath as he open the hood to inspect the engine.*

BH: Damnit, its getting overheated! I need some water...

Dr.: Here *hands him water jug* Now git a move on, we dont want her friends to catch up to us...

BH: Nah, they cant stop us...

~Hehehe, boy are they in for a surprise!~

**Kali** · 04-09-2002, 09:34 PM

*Leo held his hand out to help Kali up onto the top of the cliff*

Okay, why are we up here again?

*Leo took a pair of thin binoculars out of his belt and looked around* Where are they?...There! *he took out his turtlecom* Don, Raph, can you hear me? The truck's stopped about a mile north of the cave.

*Don, through the com* Got ya, Leo, we're on our way.

*Raph, also through the com* You see that bike-stealing brother of ours?

*Leo looks again* He's gaining on the truck. We'll meet you there.

**Machias Banshee** · 04-09-2002, 09:40 PM

*The driver shut the hood and went to try and start up the vehicle. Off in the distance, a buzzing noise slowly increased, to a point where Hammond could hear it.*

Dr.:Hurry up and go!

BH: Im tryin' Im tryin'!
*He tried again and again. Soon the small form a figure on a motorcycle came into view. The driver turned the key, the roar of an engine finally filling the air. He kicked the truck into gear and spun the tires in their departure*

mike: Dont even think you'll escape me now...

**Kali** · 04-09-2002, 09:44 PM

*Mike, being the highly trained ninja that he is, managed to take two shuriken from his belt and throw them at the truck. One hit the tire. He rode around to the front of the truck.*

Mike: End of the line, dudes.

*Leo and Kali caught up to the others on the main road just as they heard gunshots in the distance*

**Machias Banshee** · 04-09-2002, 10:02 PM

~Eeh, this is getting good!~

*The driver struggled to keep the truck on the road, while trying to hit the person on the motorcycle. The Doctor leaned over Machias's body, trying to shield her from any debris.*

Dr.: Blasted, watch where youre driving!

BH; I cant with that twerp coming after us!

*mike positioned himself just to the side of the truck. He threw some more shuriken, one cutting into the driver's hand, another knocking the gun from his hand.*

BH: Damn! Who the hell are you?!

*Mike calculated the speed of the two vehicles, and with a kiai, jumped onto the truck bed.*

Mike: Your worst nightmare!

*Skeletoncrew* · 04-09-2002, 11:34 PM

~I'm kinda in limbo right now since I rarely am on when you guys are. But maybe I can help out a bit.~

*A sleek and strangely silent black hearse pulls up next to Don and Saisai. The passenger window rolls down and they see Skeletoncrew at the wheel*

Hey guys, would you like a ride to the action? Its kinda hard to catch a truck on foot!

*Don and Saisai look at each other and hop in. Don and Saisai are thrown back in the seat a bit as SC accelerates.*

Don: Whoa! I didn't think a hearse could move like this!

I've souped it up and modified it a bit.

*Up on the cliff Leo notices the new vehicle.*

Leo: I'm not sure, but it looks like Skeletoncrew has joined the chase.
