Turtles Forever

Dreams Or Reality

Yuuki opened her eyes to find herself in an unfamiliar place. She began to feel uneasy as she looked around. This was the same dreams that she was having constantly. She hoped that it didn't end the same. Her eyes scanned the room to see a Japanese style room. She looked up to see a familiar red symbol above her. She backed up feeling scared. This must be their headquarters. But why was She here? How did She even get here? She was just at the turtles lair, sleeping.

She jumped when she heard a voice behind her. She realized that she wasn't the only one in the room. As she turned around, there was a Japanese man with dark blue hair and two scientists standing in front of her. Yuuki wondered why they haven't noticed her and she walked over to them and waved an hand in front of their faces.

Nobody answered her. They couldn't see her. She felt her entire body froze as she heard the man speak. His voice was like ice cold and without emotion, which send shivers down her body "For a long time longer than you can possibly imagine. My enemies have managed to elude me."

He stood up and walked over to a case which contained a metal body, that the helicopter fished out, which was worn out and corroded after years of being in the ocean and was covered in seaweed and barnacles. "Here at last is proof of there presence in this city and all it cost me was the sword of Tengu!" The man let out an angry growl and he swung his arm smashing it against an empty glass case that used to hold a sword. It was the sword that the ninja used on the turtles. They must have gotten it back from them. What did he call it? The Sword of Tengu?

One of the tech scientists answered "Master! There were extenuating circumstances! These four strange creatures. They came from nowhere!"

The man bent down and picked up a picture that was on a small table and held it out "Were these the creatures you saw?"

Yuuki peeked over the two scientist's shoulders to get a better look. She gasped as she saw four red thermal figures on it. They were holding ninja weapons like the turtles. In fact it was them.

The two men nodded and answered "Oh yes."

The man waved them off and replied "That will be all."

The two scientist's bowed and walked away but as they opened the door a someone was waiting there for them. Yuuki took a step back, overwhelmed. This guy was huge! He was built like a walking freight building. He had blond hair out up in a long tail and a long giant purple dragon tattoo on the right side of his arm. He grabbed the scientists and they let out horrified screams and slammed the door leaving Yuuki alone with the man. She tried to calm herself down to keep herself from trembling but she couldn't. Fear began to consume her.

(Calm down! Get a hold of yourself! This is only a dream! It has to be! This is only a dream! Nothing can hurt you.)

She nearly jumped as she heard the man let out an anguish growl as he picked up an gauntlet. He brought it straight down stabbing through the picture, of the turtles, and the table "These freakish thorns in my side must be removed permanently! I will rest until all of my enemies lies broken and battered and my feet especially Hamato Yoshi daughter!"

Yuuki let out a small gasp. Her eyes widen and she quickly covered her mouth. He paused for a second. Then he slowly turned his head. Yuuki 's eyes widen in horror as she saw him looking in her direction. No...looking directly right at her.

Everyone were each doing their own thing. Raphael at his punching bag throwing in a few punches and kicks. Michelangelo sitting on the couch in front of the TV watching it. Donatello in his lab, tinkering. Leonardo and Splinter practicing meditations. They all stopped when they heard a blood curdling ear piercing scream. It was Yuuki. Leonardo was first to make it to Michelangelo's room and stopped at the door entrance. He saw her tossing and turning in her sleep as if she was fighting something.

Yuuki screamed "No! Get away!"

He quickly rushed to the bed and shook her "Yuuki! Wake up!"

As he tried, a fist quickly shot up, hitting him in his beak. He grabbed his nose and hissed in pain. Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael walked into the room. Donatello walked in the on the other side of the bed and sat her up began to shake her attempting to try and wake her up.

A voice shouted "Stop! Don't move her!" Donatello immediately stopped. He looked and saw that it was Splinter.

"Sensei, she won't wake up. We gotta do something."

Splinter replied "Wait it out."

The four brothers looked at each other then back towards Yuuki who was still groaning and tossing and turning. Then suddenly, she stopped. Everything went silent.

Michelangelo broke the silence and asked "Sensei?" Splinter held up his hand and the orange masked turtle paused.

Then before anyone could blink, Yuuki was launched sending flying into Raphael and Michelangelo, crashing into them. Yuuki groaned and her eyes fluttered open. She looked up to see Leonardo, Donatello, and Splinter looking at her in concern.

She heard a groan underneath "Do you mind?" She looked down to see that she was sitting on top of Raphael who was on top of Michelangelo. She quickly got up, getting off of them.

Yuuki asked "What are you two doing on the floor?"

Michelangelo answered as he took Raphael 's hand as he got up "You were screaming in your sleep. You wouldn't wake up! What happened?!" Yuuki felt eyes on her as everyone waited for an answer.

Splinter raised an eye and asked "Do you wish to tell us something?

Yuuki shrugged and answered "It was just a nightmare."
Leonardo narrowed his eyes at her in question and replied "It seemed more than just a nightmare."
"I've had them before. When I was little, my parents told me that I would have these strange dreams of a man in metal armor...and you guys. It eventually went away but now they're back, constantly now. "
Splinter made a small smile and replied "I believe you have a gift Miss Yuuki."
"Not many could do this, even at such a young age. What you've been experiencing is astral projection. When your mind and spirit leave the body, an out of body experience. Also, the way of a ninja. It seems that you're more in touch with your spiritual side." He finished as he explained.
Yuuki asked "You mean what I've been seeing. They're actually happening?"
Splinter nodded then made a stern face and replied "Yes, it is. But, It is also dangerous, to let it go unaided. Looks like it's time to begin your training, little ninja."

"I'm afraid it's the only way, to control it. Without it would be unwise. What if you end up in someone else's body instead of your own next time?"
