Chapter one.
"I hate the Foot!" Raphael growled and head-butted a Foot ninja away "I hate the Foot ninja's too! We're just minding our fucking business and these pussies show up! God I hate fighting these bozo's!"
"I've never seen Raph so mad about fighting, ever." Leonardo commented and swatted another enemy away with his sword.
"I never thought I'd see the day Raph wouldn't want to fight." Donatello responded and wacked another Foot ninja with his Bo staff "But he has a point; do Foot ninja's ever have anything else to do besides attack us? Sometimes I think they're all suicidal since it's pretty obvious we can beat them all with one hand tied behind our shells."
"I'd go with that theory." Leo agreed and slashed another opponent away – after fighting these Foot ninja so many times, the fights were rather boring and pointless. Actually, they used to be boring and pointless; that was, before the Foot Knight, Sharp started showing up. Sharp was a Foot Ninja like the rest, but the turtles regarded him as a knight because of his use of a double-edged sword among many other weapons, a knights trademark. But Sharp was a dangerously skilled ninja – when he showed up, the other Foot ninja;s cleared. Sharp could take on all of the turtles at once even though going against all three always ended in a stalemate.
"We better wrap this up before Sharp shows up, guys." Leo instructed.
"Speak of the devil…." Raph muttered bitterly and pointed to another rooftop, where a shape was jumping to them.
"Son of a bitch!" Don groaned in complaint, he was still sore from their last showdown with Sharp; how much energy did this guy have?
"Sharp's here!" One of the Foot ninja called to the others, and they all sighed in relief, re-sheathed their weapons and stepped back.
Sharp came to the rooftop; he already had his double-edged sword in hand, and countless other steel weapons gleaming from wherever they were kept. Sharp dressed like the rest of the Foot ninja, except he for some reason had a cape starting around his neck, and a metal helmet with tinted visors as eye-lenses.
"Bring it on, metal-head!" Raph roared and charged at Sharp with a sai clenched tightly in his fist, Sharp stayed calmly in place. Leo tried to warn his red-masked brother, but it was too late; when Raph was close enough, Sharp grabbed his wrist. Raph had anticipated this and kicked – only for his leg to be grabbed. Sharp twisted Raph's wrist, making his drop his sai; he then dropped his leg and started striking the dark-green turtle – jabbing several pressure points. Raph twitched in an effort to move, only for Sharp to grab one of his shoulders and punch him right in the gut, sending Raph several feet away.
Raph spat out some blood and twitched again "Can't…. Move…" He groaned, Don ran over to fight/distract Sharp while Leo undid all of the nerve strikes.
"Can you move yet?" Leo asked when he was sure he undid all of the strikes.
"No," Raph growled "there's somethin' in mah shoulda'…." He said, Leo saw there was a very small kunai sticking out of one of his brothers pressure points, keeping him frozen. Leo was about to pull it out when a bo staff was thrown in front of him.
"A little help, Leo!" Don yelped before Sharp slammed him onto the ground and kicked him, Don rolled a few feet away, clutching his hurt side.
Leo and Sharp circled each other threateningly – Leo with his twin katana, and Sharp with his double-edged sword. They were in for one hell of a sword-fight.
They both charged at each other and Leo struck with both of his swords and Sharp blocked, they pushed against each other for moments before Sharp suddenly ducked down for a slit second, elbowed Leo hard in the gut and slashed upwards with his sword.
They broke apart and there was a clang; Leo stared in disbelief at his swords, the blade had been sliced in half! And the top half of his swords were on the ground. That was the trouble with fighting Sharp, his style of fighting continually shifted from traditional to unorthodox.
Leo glared at Sharp, still brandishing his broken swords; there was some hope of beating Sharp this time, because Don had regained composure and was sneaking up behind Sharp.
Swiftly, Sharp re-sheathed his sword, bent over backwards in a suplex-like motion, grabbed Donnie by the belt, and flung the purple-masked turtle over him and all the way at Leo.
"Ouch!" Leo growled and hoisted him and Donnie back up.
"Help Raph; he's got a kunai lodged in a pressure point, I got Sharp." Leo said and took Don's bo staff from him, with his swords broken he would need a weapon.
Leo charged at Sharp again and struck with the bo staff, only for it too to be sliced in half by the double-edged sword. Leo was grabbed and slammed to the ground; the tip of the sword was mere inches away from his throat, and he could tell Sharp was about to end it all.
Before the blade could go down, however, one of the Foot ninja called "Sharp! Our master Shredder is calling us back!"
With Sharp momentarily distracted, Leo shot up and did an undercut; his fist slammed against Sharp's chin, making the silent Foot Knight yelp in pain and step back as his helmet flew off.
His head came back up and blue eyes stared back at Leo.
Familiar blue eyes….
Familiar blue eyes, with an equally familiar orange mask and aquatic-green skin surrounding them.
Leo dropped the bo staff, eyes wide in disbelief; he could hear Don and Raph gasp behind him, meaning he was indeed not being delusional.
Sharp turned away to leave with the other Foot ninja, before Leo called him back "Mikey!" Leo called. Mikeystopped and he turned his head back to look back at them with confused recognition in his eyes at the mention of the name.
"Sharp!" One of the other Foot ninja called; shaking his head, and giving the three other turtles a fleeting glance, Mikey ran off, following the other Foot ninja.
"Wait!" Leo called and tried to follow, but when he came to the edge of the rooftop the Foot Ninja, including their beloved little brother, were all gone.
Sharp sighed and entered his room and as expected, a blur of fur shot at him. "Sharp!" A really high-pitched, childish voice cheered as the owner of it clambered on him.
"Hey Fluffy." He said to the tiny mutant and smiled as she climbed onto his shoulders. He took Fluffy off of his neck and rested her back on the bed. Fluffy was a mutant like he was, but while he was a turtle, she was some strange mammal-hybrid. She was a small child (estimated, she is five years old) covered in dark-gray fur, with thicker, long black hair on the top of her head, with strange pointy cat-like ears. She has a bushy gray tail, claws paw-like hands, and clawed feet. Fluffy also has very wide green eyes, with a pink nose, and a black diamond shape stamped on her furry forehead, there was a black patch around one eye.
From what the Foot clan knew, she used to be human; before the scientists used the same mutagen they had used to create him, and used it to mix her DNA with cat, rabbit and squirrel, making her into an adorable freak of nature. Then the scientists eventually stopped caring about her, and she just wondered the Foot clan, stealing food-scraps from the ninja. When Sharp came along, she instantly attached herself to him. Not that Sharp minded, he enjoyed that he at least had a friend. All of the other Foot ninja hated him.
Sharp should be younger than Fluffy was; he had one day woken up in a pod with no memory, with Fluffy prodding at the glass, staring at him wide-eyed. The pod opened and she jumped on top of him staring intently. She asked him what his name was, he didn't know but he just kept mumbling 'sharp' because her claws were digging into his shoulder and he was actually trying to ask her to remove them. Fluffy, however, spread the word that the 'new ninja' was name Sharp so he just went along with it.
Sharp was told that he was created in the lab, except he hadn't been human like Fluffy was; he had originally been a normal turtle, which they mutated and rapidly aged. They had implanted training in his brain so he immediately joined the ranks of the Foot clan.
"The other turtles saw my face today." Sharp said and sat on the edge of the bed "They were shocked; they must have thought they were the only ones of their kind." Fluffy was somewhat listening, somewhat chewing on his cape "But then the blue one said something weird; he called me 'Mikey'…. It sounded really familiar."
When Sharp first started doing missions with the other Foot ninja, he was of course surprised to see three other turtles, but no one answered him when he asked about their existence. He always felt somehow drawn to those turtles…. But he would never disobey his masters orders, so he fought them anyways.
"Like how?" Fluffy asked, looking up at him.
"I don't know…. It's just really familiar." He said and shrugged, he lay back. Sharp grabbed a mouse-toy from under his pillow and threw it a couple feet away, Fluffy chased it. Sharp yawned, not feeling up to playing "We can play tomorrow, Fluffy…" He said and rolled onto his side. "Time to sleep." He heard Fluffy whine.
"I'm not tired!" The other mutant wailed and threw herself on the ground, flailing her furry limbs around in complaint.
"Three…. Two…." Sharp counted down, then the sound of flailing stop; he turned around again to see Fluffy was passed out. Chuckling, he got up and picked the small mutant up. He lay down on his shell and placed Fluffy next to him. Fluffy curled into a ball similar to the way that her animal attributes would.
"Good night Fluffy." He mumbled and petted the top of the mutants head, and he went to sleep too, dreaming about four turtles and a rat….
Me: Normally I don't start writing until night (hence the name) but I was in a writing mood. This will be a chapter story, but it won't be a very long one.
