Leo POV:
The sound of water dripping from the manhole covers filled the air around me. It was night time up top but the dark didn't bother me. I walked ahead of my brothers, who stayed a ways back. Listening to their laughter, I couldn't help but feel left out. But, It was my choice
Even now, after 18 mutation years, the division of my leadership has grown wider. They are belligerent and stubborn. Especially Raphael. The exhaustion of the day was beginning to sink into my bones. The rustle of footsteps ahead made me look up, suddenly alert. A figure half hidden in the shadows, stared back at me with dark eyes. The outline of a turtle, like us. The turtle turned and ran.
"Hey wait!" I dashed after them, following the gentle splash of quick footsteps along the tunnels. Coming to a dead end hall, I walked down just a ways. "Hello?"
I barely had time to bring up my katanas before hers clashed with mine.
"Hey! I just want to talk!" Her foot collided with my chest and I crumpled.
"Tāmen zài nǎlǐ? She spoke darkly. Was that Mandarin?
"What?"
" Nǎlǐ shì wǒ de jiěmèi ma?" She spoke again. Yep. Mandarin.
"English please?" She glared at me darkly, holding the katanas at my throat.
"Where are my sisters? Explain yourself!" She spoke with authority, clear and angry. I held up my hands.
"My name is Leonardo. I've never met a girl turtle like you before... I can help you find your sisters." She looked me up and down.
"Leonardo?"
"Hey Leo! Huh?" Raph had a confused look as he took in the strange sight. Mikee and Don turned the corner soon after.
"What is it Raph? Oh. Never mind." Don had a shocked expression. But Mikee...
"She's beautiful." Mikee moved a step forward. She jerked me back, one katana at my throat, the other pointed at my brothers.
"Guys, stay back." I called out, disguising the nervousness in my voice with a command.
"One wrong move and he gets it. Back off... now!" Her voice demanded respect and following of her orders. I glanced up to her.
"Look they won't hurt you. They are my brothers." She chuffed at that.
"Won't they? I was made to kill you, Leonardo. Shredder made me." Her words made my eyes widen.
"What?"
"After he met you, he got a sample of the ooze that created you. He created my sisters and me to be perfect matches for you and your brothers. And I know you have them captive. Shredder sent me to destroy you. And bring my sister's home." I blinked at her a few times. The others whispered their confused words.
"What?" "Shredder?" "How?"
"But, shredder is... dead." She smacked me to the ground, pressed her knees into my chest, holding a katana at my throat. That wasn't the right thing to say.
"How dare you speak of Master Shredder that way!" Her eyes were dark.
"But... I know he's..." Her eyes flickered a moment, bright blue eyes showing for a moment.
"Impossible..." Then the dark took over again. "I will bring Shredder your head on a platter, painted in your blood!" She brought up her sword, where Raph caught it between the blades of his psi. She jumped, flipping in the air and began fighting each of my brothers with skills that rivaled my own. They had her cornered. Raph began to move in.
"Wait! Don't hurt her. She's under Shredders control!" She glowered at me.
"I am under no one's control-" Thwap! She slumped down, Donnie standing behind her fallen body.
"Fascinating... but a bit too bossy for my taste." Donnie knelt beside her as I did, checking to make sure she was just unconscious and not physically wounded. She seemed unhurt.
"Let's get her back to the lair. We can make sure she's alright there." I heard a chorus of confused cries.
"What?!" Each spoke their piece. "Why?" "She tried to kill you!" "This is nuts."
"Because we don't leave turtles behind now let's go."
