The Fire still burns...

[Jo Dawn]

Don looked at Stryker trying to beat the door down, then off towards where Mars had been dragged. Sighing, he tok off in the direction Mars' attackers took her.

[Mars-Chan]

"You'll...never get away with this..." Mars gasped out, as the tears of pain rolled down her face. "...when my brothers get word of this, they'll be on you so fast---" She then gasped out again, as a Foot's foot went sailing into her stomach to get her to be quiet. -It's worth a shot, but....- Mars thought, as she then raised her head up from gasping for air. -...right this second...I could use ALL the help I can get....- "DONNY! SOMEONE!!! HELP!!!!!!!" Ushering up all the strength that she had left, Mars let out another cry for help, in the middle of gasps for air, and she feverishly looked around to see if she could spot any of her brothers comming to her aide.

((OOC: Quick note here---in my fan-fictions, Donny and Leo were the first to discover Mars on an outing to a pizzaria.... ....and they spotted her fighting...who else?...the Foot. That's the reason why those two are the biggest over-protectors of her out of the four of the brothers.))

[Jo Dawn]

Don looked up quickly as he heard Mars' cry for help. His movements became quicker, and soon he was running full speed towards where he thought her voice had come from.

He stopped as the noises became louder. He looked back once, debating whether to go back for backup... But she needed him now. Don moved forward, towards the voices.

[Mars-Chan]

-Where are they?!- Mars thought, letting out a weakened cry, as the pain shot through her body like someone took a knife to her stomach and jabbed it in countless times. -....I'd thought they'd be here by now....-

Mars still glanced about, and gave out one last weak cry (it sounded almost like a wounded animal) and everything around her then went black.

[Jo Dawn]

Don came to a halt as he heard another noise. Mars... She sounds hurt! It was enough to urge him on as he ran faster. A moment later, he saw movement... the Foot.

Don reached behind him and grabbed his bo. He needed to get Mars out of there, and fast. Without another moment's hesitation, he jumped into the fray, making contavct with as many Foot as he could, while dodging the attempts on their part. Between the movements, he looked over at Mars. She looked unconcious... He hoped to have her out of there soon. He ducked another kick at his head. He hoped to have both of them out of there soon.

[Mars-Chan]

After what seemed like walls and walls of blackness, Mars slowly opened her eyes to a familiar sight.

Something green.

"nngh....my head...." She groaned, blinking her eyes hard enought to get them to focus. "...feels like a dump truck hit me head on without stopping....ah...man...whew..." A sharp pain ran through her left arm and she grimmaced as she held it with her left hand. "Do...do..Donny?" She groaned, as she blinked her eyes again, the image of her brother still not clear. "...Don?"

[Jo Dawn]

Through the noise of the battle, Don could hear a familiar voice... He hit a Foot ninja in the head, then looked over towards the voice. Mars! He sighed in relief. She was awake!

"Mars..." He got out as the few remaining Foot advanced on him. "Don't move. I'll have us out of here in a jiff."

He quickly defeated the last few ninjas, then ran over to Mars and knelt beside her. He wanted to make sure she was alright, but they had to hurry. He knew full well that these Foot ninja weren't alone; there'd be more of them, and quickly.

[The Stryker]

Foot ninjas surrounded don and mars but they did not attack

Blaze walked out from the gang of foot ninjas

Blaze:"...so...what are you two green ****s planning?"

(OOC: Blaze is a very R-rated character...thank krang for censorship)

Meanwhile...

Stryker:"I got it!!!"

Stryker then turned the on the door slowly and opened the door

Stryker:"...that was easy...i was expecting more of a tr-"

The lights in the foot HQ then turned on to reveal about three dozen foot ninjas

Stryker:"...ap..."

[Hannah]

Michaelangelo ran as fast as he could to the sound he was hearing.
Fighting. Foot. Pain. He ran full speed ahead until, out of fear,
stopped. Donatello was crouching down to help their sister and behind
them stood ...blaze.

[Mars-Chan]

Mars then blinked her eyes and everything came into focus. Donny was kneeling next to her with a concerned look on his face and overlooking them was Blaze. She then held her arm and grunted in pain and glanced up at the Foot and their leader. "What do you want?" She hissed softly, trying hard enough not to move her wounded arm. "...have you no honor? Striking a ninja when they are down?" She then grunted again and looked up with a defiant glance, though there was some pain registered in the look. "Agh....my arm...." She then glanced at Don with a look that basically asked "Now what?".

[Jo Dawn]

Don's mind raced as he tried to figure out a way for them to escape. He looked at Mars, trying to assess their situation. Bruises were already starting to form. Her arm was the worst, though. It could be broken...

He looked up at Blaze and scowled. "What do you want?" He asked, standing up, a hand resting lightly on Mars' shoulder.

[Mars-Chan]

Mars then struggled to her feet, despite the fact her legs felt like jello at the moment, put an arm around her brother's shoulder for support and grimmaced slightly.

-Ow...shell...Whatever you're thinking about for an escape plan....- She thought, as she stared down Blaze and the Foot with a sheer look of defiance...or meer hotheadedness. -....Make it go a whole lot FASTER, Donny-boy...agh...my arm... feels like someone stepped on it...-

[The Stryker]

Blaze:"....Honor?..i have no honor for anyone...im not a little ninja like youze"

Blaze's arms then lit up in flames and he raised them both into the air and then quickly whapped them down, flames coming off his arms and trailing along the floor around don and mars

Blaze:"...try to jump over it...and you'll be attacked by MY foot ninja...but..if you don't tell me what you and the dip-**** are planning to do in the former foot HQ....i'll just......*puts cigarette in mouth and flicks thumb, thumb ignites in flames and lights the cigarette, shakes off thumb*
Persuade you..."

Blaze then points upwards to a large pile of metal beams held above mars and don by a single rope, two foot ninja holding the rope and another holding a blade to the rope in case of any sudden moves

(OOC: sorry for the late post...these late nights are killin' me)

[Hannah]

Michelangelo knew that it was time to strike. He could attack either the foot or blaze himself, which ever didn't see him. He had to attack now. His siblings were in trouble. Inhaling one, deep, breath, he leaped at blaze, attempting to take him down in a few simple hits.

[Mars-Chan]

((OCC: Dude, I know...I'm in the same boat with you...and it's sinking fast! ))
Mars then slightly backed up to Don, as the flames creapt closer to her, gulped a silent gulp and straightened her back. "You don't know what kind of trouble you can get yourself into, Blaze..." She said, ducking out of the way as Mike leapt over the two. She then went tumbling backwards, pulling her arm off of Don's shoulder as she fell, and landed on her shelled back towards the fire. "...YEOW!! Things can get a lot worse, you know...."
-So much for me stalling for time...- Mars thought, grabbing her wounded right arm and grimmacing. -....it didn't work out like I had hoped....-

[The Stryker]

Blaze turned quickly and looked at mike for a split-second before a foot ninja threw a net onto mike, the weights tying around the turtle's feet

Meanwhile...

Stryker ran into the gang of foot ninja and began fighting them off, not doing so well but not getting shellacked

the foot threw stryker into the air and he quickly grabbed a loose rope and hung from the ceiling with one arm

Stryker then looked over to the corner of the room and saw three foot tech ninjas, them turning on the stealth system and disappearing from sight

"........****..."

[Mars-Chan]

Something inside of Mars snapped. Ignoring her wounded arm, she reched behind her, pulled out her bowie knife, clamped it in her mouth and leapt over the flames. After knocking some Foot out cold, she ran over to Mike's side and started to cut at the ropes with the bowie knife. "Have at 'em, Mike..." She smirked, putting away the knife and nodding him on. She then faced off with a Foot and nodded for Don to leap over the flames and assist her.

[The Stryker]

Blaze:"....don't you understand?! you can't get away from me like that!!"

all three foot tech ninjas grabbed stryker and launched him into the left side of the foot headquarters, he broke through the wall and smashed through the metal wall of the bunker


Blaze looked up to where stryker bashed through the wall

"....owwowowowowowowow"

Stryker then landed on blaze back first and knocked blaze down

"....woah....what happened"

Blaze's arms then lit up in flames

"uh-oh"

[cqb101]

Casey charged into the mass of foot ninjas trying to help Mars and Donny. "Goongala!" Casey swung his bat and fought the foot ninjas off as fast as he could.

[Mars-Chan]

"Oh, what a sight for sore eyes..." Mars groaned, leaning against a nearby boulder to watch and catch her breath. "...dude...Case....I'd thought you'd never come. Thought Donny, Mike and me would have to fight them off for ourselves..."

-Maybe now I can stay off my arm and relax a little...- She thought, resting her head against the boulder and exhaling with a whoosh of air. -...I've really got to do that....-
