The girl shifts so the beast in her arms can lay his head against her shoulder, now sitting up and resting her hands on his horns and rubbing. She addresses her current roommate, Slash, as he curls against her like a giant puppy, rather than a giant mutant.  "If you weren't so tired, would you still be doing this?"‏

 

"Doubt it." The beast snorts, shutting his eyes and getting comfy. "I'm usually out, busting on Kraang. It's a dangerous job for a Lady like you."

She grins, "Well don’t get used to it any way" Kimmie states, lidding her eyes while she pokes his chest gently.

"Psh, Thanks but no thanks for the chivalry, I think I could do that too." The girl smirks and lets go, crossing her arms over her chest.

He opens both eyes this time, rolling his pupils up to stare at her in resssponce.

"No ya can't, you don't know have any idea what those alien scum can do."‏

 

She blinks a few times and lids her eyes.

"Not entirely, but I’m not a princess, or a damsel in distress."

She pouts. "All men are the same."

 

Slash blinks, a little taken back, then fully sits himself up.

"Hey,"

The mutant states, using his hands to cup her face.

"Listen, I'm just looking out for ya, alright? No need ta feel upset."

He blinks again, his eyes showing both worry and sincerity.‏

‎

She crosses her legs before sighing, tensing up slightly as he cups her cheeks, she opens her big green and hazel eyes.

"Mhh.. I know. I’m sorry...I just feel girls are under estimated sometimes."

She glances away briefly, holding his index fingers gently.‏

 

The mutant smiles, leaning forward to press his snout against her free cheek.

"You are...the most important thing in the world to me, Baby. Yer the reason I keep fight'en, keep living."‏

 

She smiles a little and looks back, nuzzling his large hand, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks as she then nuzzles his snout. "Mh... Heheh. Dont lie to me.."

Kimmie plays, softly hugging around his neck.

The Redhead smirks, about to make another playful remark before being pulled into his lap. "Woah!"

She snickers and looks up at him.‏

Slash laughs with his booming voice, then tilts his head down, staring into her eyes.

"Hmm." The mutant grows quiet, his smile slowly fading. Slowly, his giant hands slide down to rest on her hips.‏

The Red head snickers and smiles lovingly with his laugh before she closed her eyes and rested the back of her head against his chest, relaxing a moment, before shifting from the large, yet gentle hands on her hips, making her rest her smaller hands atop his.

 

"...Slash....?"‏

 

‎"Mhm, Kimmie," The mutant mumbles, rubbing the red head's thigh's gently. "For a while, I..."

 

Slash is cut off from a sound outside, like metal crashing.

 

"Aw, no."

Carefully he scoops her up and sets the girl on the couch before lumbering over towards the window and peering through the dark drapes.

"Hmmm, something's outside, I better take a look..."‏

 

The girl pauses to listen, before tensing from the sound, twirling her head toward the noise before making a confused sound as she’s set down, blinking at Slash.

 

"Mh? Uh...

O...Okay, Be careful though."

 

She crosses her legs and blinks at him, going to follow him when he steps out.

"Probably just some kids."

Slash states, turning and grabbing his mace from closet and strapping it to his shell. He walks back to his partner and bends on one knee, carefully cupping her chin.

"Stay here Kimmie, alright?"

He looks into her eyes, hoping she'll listen.

"I'll be right back fer ya."

 

 

She turns her head to glance out one of the windows before feeling the gentle force under her chin to tilt her head forth, batting her eyes, slumping slightly when he says not to move.

 

"Mh.."

 

She rests her hand on his and nods in agreement.

"Be careful..."

 

Her eyes twinkle.‏

He nods, pressing his muzzle to her hair and slowly wraps his strong arms around her. The beast sighs, taking in her scent, her warmth, everything.

"Mmn,"‏

 

 

 

 

She lifts her arms around his neck and slides up onto her knees, nuzzling close and gripping his mask tails.

"Please."

 

She grips as tight as she can.

 

 

"I'll be back."

He promises, slowly pulling away after a few more minutes of just embracing her. Slash shoots her a cocky, confident grin while his eyes glimmer with love.

"I'll always come back for you."‏

After a moment she feels him slowly slip away, her arms sliding down his till their fingertips part and she sits again, giving a small nod,

"...I know"

She smiles and watches him go.‏

"Hmm." He gives her a firm nod before stepping back, heading towards the window to draw the curtains away and slide the glass open. With the night breeze tugging his mask tails back, Slash looks over at Kimmie one last time before rolling through and disappearing into the darkness.

 

All is silent for a few seconds, then another blast, louder this time, rattles the place.

The window is still left open....

 

 

The Ginger breathes and watches him, her eyes large and slightly nervous as he walks back.

She remains plastered to the couch, slowly relaxing as he vanishes, and she’s left with an empty feeling.

 

The girl stays there a moment longer till the blast shook her, and instantly she yelped, covering her mouth quickly and digging her nails into the couch with a gasp,

She stays like this for a moment, knowing he wanted her to stay but she couldn’t.

 

The Red head sprung up and ran over to the window, sticking her head out to look anywhere quickly, the breeze tugging her hair over to one side and letting it dance like a flame in wind as her eyes remained large, her breathing increasing, all the bad thoughts rushing through her mind at once and it makes her mouth dry.

BOOM!

Another loud bang rolls through the air and shakes the small apartment as well as the rest of the city. Sirens blare from all directions in warning. It's happening again, another nightly attack.

 

The girl gasps again, being shook in the window frame as she holds on, breathing and looking out again,

 

"..."

She waits and swallows, before taking a large breath,

 

"...SLASH!?"

 

Bangs and blasts are the only answer Kimmie gets in return. At times like this, all citizens of the city are to stay inside until the word is given by the EPF that the coast is clear.

But Slash isn't inside, he's out there, alone, with nothing but a metal mace to protect him from the dangerous weapons of the Kraang.

 

She shakes in the windowsill again from the blast, this time knocking her off,

"AH!"

 

She luckily catches herself on the ledge, holding on tightly, she looks around, then down to see a metal staircase platform, before letting do and sliding down to catch another ledge, and landing safely,

Though scared out of her mind. The girl looks around, taking a deep breath before heading the way she saw Slash go.

 

Running down the stairs to ground level, the red head looks around again, panting.

Her heart hurts, and so does her mind,

She must find him.

 

 

Blasts of light blind the night sky as the tall metal drone’s crash through the streets, stomping on cars, trucks and anything that gets in the way. These are the mighty machines the Kraang use to pilot, and so far the people of the city are unable to stop them. The Protection Force has disabled them in the past, but never fully destroyed one. Every once and while, like a night such as tonight, these giant machines will power back up and get back  onto their feet and start moving mindlessly once more, as if they have simply awoken from a mere slumber.

She had heard legends of those,

Though for the past few years when they began this rain, she had never known the fear...

It was because that one faithful day her lift changed when Slash fell into her life.

 

Kimmie was fully protected, and never disobeyed Slash's orders,

It’s how she’s still around to this day, he protected her, He always had.

 

And she was grateful. But now he could be in danger...

 

 

Slash...

 

The girl shook her head, hearing one begin to stomp closer and closer, and instantly she runs into a dark alley, pressing her back to a wall and holding her breath so it could pass by.

 

She trembles in her spot.

 

 

As the leg of the drone marches near, a loud whooping sound echo's out. It's the weapons being booted up, the lasers.

From above Kimmie's head, the arm of the drone starts to shift into a gun, clicking in place and firing up.

 

"LOOK OUT!"

Something big crashes into her and pulls her away, just as the blast is fired. The area that was once the alley she hid in is now a pit of ash and rubble.

 

The strong and familiar arms she's cradled in slowly loosen up, and it's Slash that's holding her tight to his chest.

"K-Kimmie?"

The brute chokes out, his electric eyes wide with concern. Slash's cheeks are coated in dirt, and he's panting hard, as if he was running for his life.

"Kimmie, I told you to stay inside!"

She ducks her head a moment before seeing a fink flare and her eyes lighten up in a gasp before covering herself with her arms. But before she knew it, she was swept up, and shielded from a large crash as that gruff voice filled her ears.

The Ginger clung tight and gasped, Looking up at the dirty Mutant, her heart is both happy, yet afraid,

She knew she disobeyed, yet terrified still, but so happy he was partly okay.

 

"Slash!"

 

She swallows and grips closer.

"I-I Know! I’m sorry! I couldn't though! Y...You told me it’s almost impossible to beat those things! Why did you run out?"

 

Her eyes tear up, squeezing him as her head presses to his chest, trying to feel his heart beat through his panting and thudding chest as he runs.

 

"I know, I know."

He pants, Shifting Kimmie safely in the crook of his arm so he can run. There is no time to yell at her as the drone charges up again. It seems like their main targets tonight are the buildings.

 

"We're getting outta here." Slash promises, fleeing through the darker areas of the city. "We'll go to the country, find a farm house, and I swear Kimmie, I'm gonna keep ya safe and happy..."

 

 

She clutches closer in responce, burying her face in his neck as she swallows hard.

"Mh... S-Slash I-

Uh, WATCH OUT!"

The girl catches something at the corner of her eye, a small handful of Kraang coming another way, leaving them one way to go,

 

She gasps and closes her eyes.

 

"Gah!"

Slash skids to a halt, instantly turning to shield the girl. A laser blast zaps through the air and hits the mutant's shell, causing him to roll. He tries to keep a firm grip on Kimmie, able to shield her body from the laser fire, but not from himself. His large claws rake through her left arm as they spin across the street and land in a heap. He's left lying on his front, and she's just a few feet ahead of him.

 

"D-Damn!"

He growls, lifting his head and himself up onto his knees.

"I lost my mace way back there, Kimmie."

Slash's eyes grow wide as he scrambles forward, grabbing her good arm.

"Y-Yer bleeding!"

 

 

The Girl feels her body shake around until feeling the large body squeeze her tighter when she hits the ground, only seconds after feeling the painful scratch engrave in her arm, and for her to roll out of his grasp, onto her side.

 

Kimmie grunts, wincing from the tumble and burning red ooze leaking down her arm, its bright, and she smells it almost instantly, causing her to sit up and gasp, looking away as she felt woozy,

"Mh.."

 

It hurts, really bad.

But at the same time it doesn’t.

The numbness kicks in and she can barely move it, It’s intense.

However Slash pulls her back to reality, now on her feet as she swallows and blinks up at him.

 

"Nh! I-Its okay, Its not my good arm, I’ll be fine."

 

She steps closer, trying not to move her arm much.

 

"Slash, A Farm is long to run to, you'll die if you run...

Why not...

 

Wait,

What if we take the sewer system?

Slide down east, it would be  a matter of minutes to get to farm land.."

 

She blinks up at him,

In a matter of minutes she’s already harmed, leaking blood and torn clothes and dirty skin,

But she’s okay,

In all... she’s glad Slash is okay.

"Damn, I'm sorry!"

The mutant shouts, keeping his grip on her firm. He almost reaches out to grab her wounded arm but suddenly decides against it. His claws are wet, he can feel it. He can feel her blood on him.

 

Slash listens and instantly shakes his head. The sewer system that could be a bad idea for someone with an open wound, but going underground might be their only chance.

Without an answer, Slash scoops Kimmie up so she's sitting in his arms, and he starts moving again. He's much slower this time, his entire body aching. Plus he's still stunned from the sight of her blood. But the beast keeps moving, trudging ahead. They'll get to the sewers then to their farm house. Then he'll yell her ear off for following him once they're safe and she's all healed up.

Slash can see it all in his mind. A happy ending for both of them.

 

---

 

From a good distance away, the alien Kraang halt in their metal bodies, watching Slash specifically as he runs off with the human girl. Right away the grotesque pink brains wrongfully recognize him as their greatest threat.

 

"Kraang, it's one of those, known as the one we call, Turtles!"

 

A few shuffle closer as they nod their metal heads in agreement.

 

"Yes Kraang that is the one known as, Turtle. Shall we eliminate?"

"Yes Kraang. Kraang, set guns to eliminate."

"Aye Kraang."

 

They all click their guns, allowing the weapons to boot up.

 

"Fire!"

 

 

 

The explosion throws Slash off his feet, causing him to go flying. While in the air, the mutant tucks himself in as best as he can, nearly crushing but protecting his precious cargo. When he finally hits ground, a loud crack fires through Slash's body, and he falls hard, a loud scream of pain ripping from his mouth.‏

 

 

Before she can answer, she’s thrown gently up and close against her mutant,

"Mh!

 

I...Its okay Don’t worry!"

 

Kimmie clutches closer, rubbing her eyes with her good hand as she felt her heart pulse through her,

That blood sight getting to her, but she stays conscious, feeling as she was carried towards the Sewer man hole, they were almost there.

 

 

Once again, so close but so far,

Kimmie tucks her head in close, and that large weight carrying her mound around her as he’s on the ground once more.

That loud painful scream tearing at her heart, and hot tears lash from her eyes,

 

The Red head gets Slash to his good side, on her knees as she panics and looks around for the wound, which isn’t hard to miss...

 

She gasped and shook, her hands hovering over Slash as she covered her mouth with one hand.

 

"N-NO SLASH!"

 

 

"Ugh."

The blue turtle rolls limply to the side, unable to move due to this fiery pain in his back. He winces and breathes harshly, trying to grab for her hand...but to avail.

 

Slash's once gray shell littered with beautiful green spikes is now burnt and coated black as well as most of his skin. Dazed and unresponsive, the broken mutant lays limp on the street.

 

He's done and now she must run.

 

 

The Red Head continued to shake, instantly taking his hand,

Her tears warmly dropping onto his hand and down his arm,

 

"S-Slash.... No..."

 

She leans in and hugs him best she can, no matter how much her arm hurts,

She cries and hiccups, not budging.

But her eyes open briefly to look over and see the droids slowly approach them,

She isn’t running, she isn’t leaving him behind.

 

She buries her face in his neck and sobbed harder, squeezing him closer.

The guns click once more as the Kraang's voices ring out from over the chaos.

 

"Fire!"

 

Boom.

The ground explodes around them as both Slash and Kimmie are thrown up into the air once more. Luckily, for the girl, she never hits ground. Something small and fast darts out of nowhere and snatches her up.

 

"Whooo!"

The strange rescuer shouts, skidding behind a building and coming to a halt.

 

"Shell, that was close! Are you alright?"

He questions. It sounds like a he, and when Kimmie opens her eyes she's greeted by a bright freckled face wrapped in an orange ninja mask.

The girl clutches on tightly, before feeling her body in the air and she slips from Slash, her eyes opening to see him fall, as she cringes to close her eyes and wait for the hard ground to come, but it doesn’t.

 

The Girl clings for dear life before feeling smaller, slender arms around her, and they’re on the ground with an unfamiliar voice whaling by her and her green eyes dart open,

And her eyes flood with that shining image, and big blue eyes,

 

Her heart thuds in her chest and she chokes a minute before letting out a small yelp,

 

"AHH!" She pushes back a moment before cringing form her arm,

"! O-Ow... Mh"

 

Kimmie closes her eyes tightly before remembering why she’s hurt, and quickly she looks over the Orange turtles shoulder in panic,

 

"S-SLASH! Where is he!? W-What are you doing? W-Who are you!?"

She trembles and has a small panic attack,

She just wants Slash.

 

"Hey, nonono, don't freak out" The rather young voice soothes, loosening his grip around Kimmie. Carefully he helps her to sit against a brick wall, hovering over her like a fly.

"I'm not going to hurt you, promise. Just sit still for a moment."

He works fast, untying some fabric from around his own arm and applying it to her bloody one. Through all darkness and haze his face is hard to see, but it's clear this guy isn't human.

 

Another explosion tares through the city and rattles the place, causing the mystery man to lean forward and shield her against the wall.

"Dammit," He breathes harshly near her ear. "What's taking so long, DONNIE, I NEED YOU!"

 

The Girl shakes still, it’s not that she’s entirely afraid of the other, but all of this... why as this happening, and ow her arm!

 

She closes her eyes and looks away, feeling the fabric wrap around her dried bloody arm, it hurts but she'll live.

 

"Mh, Ow.."

 

She sniffles and rubs her eye from crying earlier,

Though before she can speak--

 

"WAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

 

Bang!

Out of nowhere another strange creature like the one helping her flew over the wall, smacking into the one behind her and the Orange one,

 

"Oof!...Auhg.."

This one’s a little taller, and his voice sounds different,

But once peeling from the wall and falling on his shell, this one rose and rubbed his head, walking slowly forward, his big chocolate-- almost red velvet eyes glowing bright,

Kimmie presses herself more against the wall and shuts her eyes tightly, clutching her arm.

 

"Im here, Ngh, Barely...

And the others can’t hold them off much longer,

And that big guy is barely with us!

...We gotta spare him, He’s another Mutant! Fascinating!!"

This one has  a purple mask, and from his words he clears his throat and kneels down to the red haired lass, holding out a hand,

 

"Uh, Sorry, Please.... Don’t worry, we wont harm ya."

 

...

 

Kimmie opens one eye from the creature saying 'big guy' and 'barely with us'

Her eyes shoot open and she becames alarmed again,

 

"UH! S-Slash!! Barely alive!? NO!"

 

"Wo-woah no wait--AUG!"

Before the Purple one could stop her, Kimmie pushes away, accidentally smacking The Bo staff wielder’s snout and attempting to get up, but she doesn’t  get far, only stumbling to one knee,

 

"Ah!"

 

...

 

Donnie rubs his nose and  groans, standing up and giving Mikey a worried look before looking down at the red head.

 

The orange one quickly goes after her, bending down to gently wrap his arms around Kimmie to keep her steady. "I found a girl!" He chirps stupidly, shooting the one know as Donnie a goofy smile. He then looks back down at Kimmie, turning his attention to her.

"She's bleeding badly from some sort of...scratches. Can you help her?"

Mikey looks back up at his brother once more, his eyes hopeful despite the situation.

 

From across the street, more sirens blare, followed by blasts and explosions. It's turning into a really rough night forKimmie, a nightmare even. Things are looking pretty hopeless right now.

 

"Come on guys, we're leaving."

A new voice states as a third being appears from out the shadows. He has something big draped over his back.

"Raph, give me a hand carrying this guy, will you? Donnie, help the girl."

The voice sounds young, but firm and in charge. These new mutants seem to know what they're doing, or at least they appear to be.

Donnie’s worried sight turns to an irritated one.

But with a sigh he shakes it off and Nods,

 

"Mh, Yeah"

He blinks, watching the red head fidget.

 

 

Kimmie becomes weaker and weaker, feeling everything move in and out, blurring and sharpening before her heart is in her ears, slumped over Mikey’s arms as she groans.

 

Donatello then helps her stand, leaning against Mikey,

"I can help her when we get back to the lair I--"

 

...

 

"Mh, ALRIGHT!"

He calls over to the other two.

 

"Mikey, Carry the girl home, I’ll go help the others with the bigger Mutant, come on."

 

Kimmie finally blacks out and slides lower.

 

 

...

 

And finally the last one comes out, running around the corner with his thick voice in a harsh tone,

"AHH! Dammit! Jeez, what’s up the Kraan'gs butts now!?"

 

Raphael.

 

The Fourth tucks himself under the Bigger mutants arm and helps Leo as Donnie cames out of nowhere and heleds the two,

 

"Alright, S'gonna be hell gettin him down in the sewer."

Raph sticks out his lower lip, grunting when pulling the large one.

 

"Mhh, We might have to take him around back and enter that way,

It’s the only way he will fit,

But watch his shell, its cracked, can’t get any dirty water in it..."

Donatello states from behind.

 

 

The blue one, Leo, shoots Donnie a steely look as the genius shifts to his side, decreasing the weight for them. "I told you to watch the girl." The leader mutters coolly, pressing forward as all three shuffle through the darkness. The air is thick and clouded with ash and smoke, leaving New York in the most damaged state it's ever been. It's hard for the turtles to move while carrying this new big mutant, but by some miracle they're able to avoid the Kraangs fire.

For now.

 

"We need to be more focused, better disciplined-"

Leo's words are cut off by Mikey, who's lingering behind, carefully holding Kimmie in his arms and seeming to be very happy at doing so.

 

"Sheesh, Raph, tell your mate to calm down, will you? Loosen his mask a little."

 

This time it's Mikey who receives a harsh glare from Leo, followed by a slight blush. He's about to scold the youngest turtle when they finally meet their destination and all personal squabble is halted.

 

Donnie holds his hands up in defense,

"I’m gonna I’m gonna. Mikey's got her, I’m gonna help you guys so this guy doesn’t crush you."

He goes back to helping Leo carry the big guy.

 

 

Raphael shifts and gives a small snicker after Mikey’s remark before stiffening from Leos cool gaze and clearing his throat                    , smirking when saying; "Can it Mike."

 

He keeps his eyes forward and smirks still,

"So, why are we doin this again anyhow?"

 

Raph breaks the silence after a moment,

 

"..Well, we do help people and, these are uh people....in danger, and one of our own. They didn’t seem to be hurting anyone, they seemed to be in the middle of it,

 

I’m unsure, I’ve never seen them before, but the girl said something about this big guy being called, Slash, or something. Though we don’t know her name,

 

Let’s hope Sensei will have some answers on what to do with them."

 

...

 

"Right, and then we can go back out and destroy these punks once and for all, im sick of the Kraang destroying our city, and we wouldn’t be work’en our shells carrying these two if they hadn’t!"

He grumbles,

 

And from that spurt, Kimmie stirs a little in Mikey’s arms, her head rolling against Mikey’s chest as she shifts, and falls limp again.

 

"Slash, sounds like a bad guys name." Mikey remarks, glancing down at the girl and shifting her more comfortably in his arms. She really is beautiful. "Kinda close to your pet turtle you lost a while back, Spike, wasn't it?"

 

"Enough."

Leo huffs, coming to a stop near the entrance of the sewer tunnel.

"Go in first Mikey, set up a bed for her, Donnie you follow and watch Slash's head."

 

"Aye, Fearless!"

Mikey does as he's told, crouching himself down to shimmy himself through the opening, being extra careful to not drop or hurt Kimmie any further.

 

"Don't worry, Miss,"

He assures the unconscious girl while splashing through the tunnel.

"My brothers and I will help you."

 

 

Kimmie lets out a soft breath, although she’s in pain, she looks much more relaxed than before, and she keeps curled up in Mikey’s arms unknowingly.

 

 

Raphael continues to pull Slash along with Leo.

"Yo, Don, I think we got it from here, Go help Mikey and fix'er up, we'll be down in a bit."

 

After a moment, Donnie blinks and nods.

"Alright, be careful."

 

The Genius nods and turns to jump down the Manhole and closes it, going after Mikey and the girl.

 

And so The Red one grunts again, before glancing at Leo.

"...What’s up your butt tonight anyhow?" He perks a playful brow.

 

Leo frowns, having to shift himself from the weight. It's just like Raph to send Donnie away so the two of them can be left alone.

Only they aren't alone.

They have a dying mutant to carry and a wounded girl awaiting their attention.

 

"Splinter's going to love this." The blue one sighs, shutting his eyes for a brief moment before turning and looking back over to Raph. His face holds irritation and slight embarrassment as the leader grits his teeth, showing off his pearly whites so maybe the Hot Head can take a hint.

"I don't have time for this, Raphael, now help me ease him down."

Leo trails his foot over towards the edge of the hole, slowly turning to reach the ladder.

 

"Oh-ho yeah."

He blinks, shifting the weight before kicking a trash can for a huge wall to open up slowly as they bring him down,

 

"...I’m just curious?"

Raph grunts again as they slide down, only now a few steps from their lair.

 

"But I’ll leave it be."

He lids his eyes, and continues to walk.

 

 

Chapter One, End
