The four sisters walked down the brightly lit hallway, their eyes blindly guiding them to wherever they were being herded to. Each sister felt the chained collars being tugged every once in a while by Hun, who led the menagerie of fools and cowards down to the main laboratory of the Sacks Estate. Their hands bound by thick metal cuffs, either a Foot soldier or a Purple Dragon behind each of them, they all knew the inevitable was here. There was no way out of this mess, and they knew this hell would be their last place as a family.
Hun was pleased, very pleased. He had finally caught the prizes that he was promised, and now that he had them, he knew that he had to present them to the Shredder before he had his way with the girls. He tightened his grip on the chain as he barged through the main door, a smirk etched on his face when he saw the looks on the faces of the many scientists as well as Eric Sacks.
"I'm very pleased, Mr. Hun. You have completed your mission flawlessly." Eric beamed as he watched the Foot soldiers as well as the Purple Dragons forced the four girls down onto their knees before him. He couldn't have been anymore pleased with the success of capturing the girls. This had greatly pleased him to know end, and now, he would have his way with his trophies.
"I'm so glad - very glad that I can officially meet you four at last." Eric said as he approached the girls, looking at each of them with satisfaction in his eyes. He studied them - they were frightened, a few bruises and cuts here and there, but overall, in almost perfection condition. It was a long time since he had seen them, but none of that mattered.
"What do you want?" Lauren steadily asked the billionaire before her, her blue eyes cold and hard, sending him an unforgiving look in her eyes.
Eric smirked before kneeling down before the eldest sister, a playful smirk etched onto his sleazy face. He brought a cold hand to cup her cheek, his icy fingers gently touching the curve of her cheekbone, relishing in the feel of her youthful skin. It took all of her self control to not jerk away from the older man before her; Lauren's icy blue stare bore into his, letting him know that she despised this man with a passion.
"Well, I wanted to save the surprise for later, but since you have been such naughty girls, I might as well just fill you in. The four of you were once a part of a science experiment eleven years ago. We had been experimenting with various animals, including red eared slider turtles." Eric began to say, standing up to his full height and slowly pacing in front of them, his eyes never leaving them. He silently took notice of when the four sisters flinched when he mentioned the turtles, and smiled inside, fully knowing that these girls were truly connected to the mutated terrapins.
"You see, since we were beginning to see much success with the turtles in regards to our experiments, we decided to start experimenting with human subjects. We found four infant girls at a local hospital, who had no mother to take care of. We adopted you four, and brought you into the world of science. You four, you precious girls, have what we call 'mutagen', coursing through your veins as we speak. This mutagen will restore all the healing properties to those who have immune deficiencies, sicknesses that cannot be cured with chemotherapy at an advanced rate. All that we ask, is you four donate your blood to us, in the matter of scientific purposes." Sacks ranted on, giving each of the girls a heartfelt story that he would hope they would buy into.
"And what do you get out of it?" Rachel growled, trying her hardest to keep her temper in control. This, of all times, was not the best time to lose it, and if she or any of her sisters wanted to get out alive, she needed to keep her cool.
"The city will know that my company introduced the serum to the government, and I will receive a blank check, and will become rich. Like stupid rich, but of course, some of the proceeds will go to you four." Eric answered, his smirk growing when the mention of money was ever talked.
"You killed them, you know that, dude?" Erica whispered, still not wanting to believe that her beloved Michelangelo was dead. There was something in her mind, wanting her to believe that they weren't dead. She truly wanted to believe that Mikey was going to come back like some awesome superhero, but she also knew that it would never happen.
"You mean those mutant freaks that were holding you hostage down in the sewers? Yes, we did kill them. It was unfortunate, for we wanted to bring those turtles back to the lab. But you four will do just as much." Eric Sacks answered, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.
Rachel gritted her teeth, hating the word '"freaks". It made her cringed with fury, that one word setting her blood into a roiling rage that she desperately tried to keep tamed in its cage. She knew that Raphael, as well as his brothers, were different than them; there was no doubt that they were completely different species, but she knew that he was special. She just didn't realize just how important and special he meant to her, and that was something she couldn't get back.
"Don't you call them that, asshole." Rachel growled under her breath, her whole body shaking and jittery from restraining herself. Even in chains and collars, she was still a force to be reckoned with.
"And why is that?" Eric asked, curiosity piqued in his voice.
"You don't know what they went through to keep us safe. You have no clue what they sacrificed to keep us happy." Rachel ground her words out through gritted teeth, her eyes not clouding her hatred for the billionaire before her.
"They were nothing more than monsters, who were a part of our creation. They were nothing more than an experiment to us, money poured down the drain so to speak. Their lives, their 'feelings, mean little to me or anyone else here." Sacks answered, a facade of boredom etched onto his aged face.
"You're the monster." Danielle muttered, her teal eyes glued to the floor, not wanting to see the man before her.
Eric paused, and looked at the second youngest sister as she kept her head down. He stalked over to her and knelt down to her, wanting to hear the words she muttered beneath her breath. He took hold of her chin between his thumb and forefinger, tilting her head up to look into the four eyed girl's unique eyes. Her lips quivered, no doubt that she was scared, but not for what was prepared for the four of them.
"I didn't quite catch what you said. Would you kindly repeat that phrase?" Eric questioned, mischief glittering in his dark eyes.
Danielle wanted to keep quiet, she truly did. But there was something inside her that dared the timid teenager to be brave. The genius sister could feel the eyes of her sisters as well as the eyes of every participant in the room looking at her, waiting to see what she would do. Even bound in chains, she could try to fight, even if it was a tiny glint of hope. The glass eyed girl looked up at Sacks, defiance written over her face. Not wanting to turn into a cowering child, she acted on impulse.
SPIT!
The room went silent as everyone witnessed what had transpired. Danielle had no idea what she had done, acting without thinking rationally. She made her deal with the devil at that very moment.
"You just sealed your fate, as well as the fate of your sisters, my dear." Sacks said as he gleamed at Danielle, glancing back at Hun who cracked his knuckles with a sickening smirk on his face.
