The Wolf Pack
Summary: Alternate ending to "Vengeance is mine". What would've happened if Karai and Leo fell into the mutagen tank, but instead of snake mutants, they become wolves with no memory of their past lives? The only thing they remember is a close bond that holds them together, and a pure hatred for the Shredder. Life begins a new as the newborn wolves must learn how to survive their new lives, in the harsh streets of New York City.
Chapter 1: Two fall in, two wolves come out.
This was it… This was going to end it. Goodbye to Master Splinter's pain, to Karai's anger and Leo's concern and heartbreak. But, sadly, that's not how events unfold at times…..When they were fighting the Foot Clan, head on, all in an attempt to save Karai. The family was united, everyone was ready for the fight….But not the results.
_Time skip_
The fight raged on for the turtles and their master, as they fought against the Foot bots, Rahzar, Fishface, Stockman-Fly, Tiger Claw, and the Shredder. Karai, trapped and restrained within her cage, held worried features that has now made its home on her face. Soon enough, Master Splinter was held by ropes, confining him from using his Jade-cane sword or to continue on fighting. As for the brothers, they were baited into walking onto some sensitive metal plates that soon turned out to be spring-loaded cages. Luckily, one of Leo's Katana got caught by some of the plates, preventing the cage from sealing the turtle inside of its trap and he was able to break free. He then ran to a set of chains, cutting one chain that brought him up in the air and to land on top of Karai's cage with ease. Leo took a breath of relief, then looked down at Karai, sun-gold eyes meeting ocean-sapphire eyes. Within mere seconds, Leo leaned over and ripped the tape off her mouth. She smiled and said two words that Leo thought he would never hear coming out from her…to him.
"Thanks."
Down below, the Shredder was infuriated, completely pissed that his plan is going to fail. He has had enough of this foolery, and he was going to make them all pay! And what better way to do so, than to end the life of the eldest son of his most hated enemy?! The one who has turned his daughter against him! Instantly, he knew what he had to do. He launched himself at the turtle residing on the cage, his steel claws held out and ready to make its kill. Master Splinter looked up and, realizing what was going to happen, tried to warn his son of the enemy coming down at him but was only had enough time to let out a single name to escape his mouth.
"Leonardo!"
The room became still, all fighting had ceased and all that could be heard was a loud cry of "Leo!" from the three brothers and caged Karai, as the eldest son of Splinter and brother of the turtles and Kunoichi was sliced from the neck and across the chest by the shredder's gauntlet. Leo was sent into a world of shock, as he felt his blood leak slowly out of his wounds and onto Karai and the cage. He was in excruciating amount of pain, then he started to go limp. Karai, with tears running down her face as she felt the red liquid of life fall out of Leo and down on her, screamed in terror, which in turn surprised and startled Shredder.
The Shredder's additional weight caused the cage to then tilt, which then had him to rely on instinct and reflex. He wobbled from the UN sturdiness and his hand, with the steel claws ready to tear into whatever comes its way, swung out in a poor attempt to balance himself and cut the chain clean.
The cage plummeted. Karai screamed. Master Splinter yelled in worry and anger, as any distressed father would and broke out of his bindings. At the same time on freeing himself, he went into freeing his three younger sons and made his way towards the tank to try and save his eldest children. Tears threatened to flow from his eyes as he pushed himself to go faster, but it was already too late; the cage landed with a loud splash into the mutagen, bringing Karai to join the terrible fate of Oroku Saki's plan with Leonardo. Shredder, who jumped to safety, stood there in his own shock, as his adopted daughter became submerged in the mutagen... This isn't what he wanted... This wasn't what he planned to happen... Not at all...
"MIWA! LEONARDO!" Cried Splinter, as he ran his hands against the mutagen tank, looking for any signs of his eldest son and daughter.
"Leo!" Yelled Mikey.
"Bro, no!" Raph followed.
"Please, be okay. Please, be okay...!" Whispered Donnie, in a sort of traumatized mantra. But little did they know, Leo would defiantly not be the same... Again.
All of a sudden, large bubbles erupted the surface of the mutagen and with a large splash, a large black wolf with sliver-markings sprung out of the mutagen and tiredly struggled to climb over the top of the tank. As the wolf finally made it over, it fell limply to the floor.
Splinter, the first to react, charged through the foot bots, slicing them into ribbons and collapsed by the fallen wolf. It took him a moment to try and figure out who this wolf is, but he could already feel in his heart that this was Karai, his beautiful Miwa.
"Miwa..." Said Hamato Yoshi softly, as the sharp-golden eyes of the wolf snapped open.
The large wolf shoved the old rat off her and let out a mighty roar of a howl. Even though she now possesses a new body, the old anger still remains trapped within her iris'. Her pupils shrunk to narrow slits, as she started to attack foot bots. Her anger was so uncontrolled, that she has forgotten who was the enemy and who was her friends, her family. Rage blinded her vision and mind, that she won't hesitate to kill whoever gets in her way. Her next kill was going to be that fucker in the metal suit. She has no idea why, but she could feel so much hurt and anger towards him, that was accompanied with flashbacks. The memories were too quick and she was too blinded with rage to recognize anything, that all she wanted was for him to be killed by her fangs! Just as she was about to strike and make her next kill...
"Miwa, stop this!" Yelled Splinter, trying to calm her distress and hope she would recognize the sound of his voice. Unfortunately, in her eyes, he was just a giant rat who stands in her way and her kill. His attempts only spiked her rage, that she flashed her fangs and let out a deep growl. She then began to slowly circle around Splinter. "Listen to me, Miwa... You must calm down... Come with m-AHHH!" Master Splinter was cut off when the wolf pounced upon him and held him down, all her rage directed at the rat trying to communicate with her. "Miwa, please! We're family!" Splinter pressed on, despite being pinned to the floor and unable to defend himself from the wolf.
She raised her head and bared her teeth once more, ready to strike the rat where he laid, when another splash was heard, which came from the tank. The sound was then followed by a splat, as if something wet just landed on the ground on the other side of the tank, hidden from their view. A whimper could be heard and that sound, alone, caused Karai to cease her attack on Splinter and eyes to return back to normal. Splinter saw this and relaxed a bit, as he saw that there was indeed still human inside her. She then sniffed the air, a familiar scent hit her nose and her rage immediately disappeared, while compassion and fear filled her heart and her ears perked up as another whimper was heard.
She turned her head to the direction of the whimpering sounds and muttered "brother" in a soft tone, before jumping off of Splinter, thrashed her way through enemy foot bots, before vanishing behind the tank. The black she-wolf made her way to the other side of the tank and there, lying on the ground in front of her and in a puddle of mutagen, is another black wolf, a male wolf to be exact. Unlike her, who has silver-markings in the mixture of her black-fur, this one has green and blue markings. She hurried over to him and sniffed his fur; this wolf is of her pack, which must mean he must be her brother. The downed wolf then whimpered, before lifting his head to get a clear view of the she-wolf that stood next to him. Blue eyes met gold eyes and instantly, their bond was sealed. They were of the same pack, brother and sister.
"Brother?" Spoke the female.
The male leaned in and licked her nose, then whimpered again, because for some reason he couldn't speak and he's in pain. The female sighed and lifted the male up by the scruff of his neck (you know, that part of the neck where animals lift their young by) and jumped on falling wreckage, making their escape out of the burning building, for there was no time for a proper introduction right now.
Flames started to consume the building. Turns out the electricity from the broken foot bots sparked onto the oil leaking from them and started the fire to rise. Splinter took notice of that and told his three remaining sons to flee. With pain in their hearts, Donatello and Michelangelo turned and leave, but Raphael stopped them.
"NO!" He exclaimed.
"What did you say?" Splinter asked with confusion.
"I'm not leaving till we get Leo!" Yelled Raph.
"That's right, you're not leaving, but you will all pay! Every single one of you!"
Soon, the remaining Hamato Clan turned to see the Shredder charge at them once more. Splinter simply narrowed his eyes, his own pain turning into anger. Couldn't the Shredder be content with the killing of his wife and raising his daughter to believe that he was the murderer instead? No! He just awakened Hamato Yoshi's inner anger, with the possible death and mutation of his eldest children. Just as the Shredder was about to strike, a large fiery beam collapsed in his path.
"What?! NO!"
"Master, we must leave!" Tiger Claw spoke urgently. "The rat suffers now; the loss of his two cubs brings him pain!"
The Shredder sighs and closes his eyes.
"I will avenge you, my daughter." He vowed, making a solemn promise to the child he had raise as his own, before making his leave from the fiery death trap of his own creation.
While outside the building, with the Hamato Clan, Mikey was crying onto Donnie, who was trying not to cry but tears still rolled down his cheeks; what would you do if you lost your big brother? Not only that, they also lost their long-lost big sister. Raph, who was so angry, tears poured out of his emerald-eyes as he tried to resist the urge to punch, kick and yell at anything and everything around him. Leo was his big brother. his only big brother! Now… he didn't know what has become of him. He took a deep breath and let it out, then he turned his attention to his distressed father, staring out at the city and refusing to look back at his sons.
"What now, Sensei?"
"We go home, my sons... We go home."
TBC…
Hope you like it! This took me a while but chapter will be out soon depending on whether or not I get reviews *evil laugh with thunder and lightning* the reason that the conversation between wolf Leo and karai was all like female and male wolf, was because they don't really remember each other very well yet or their own names. Their knew looks will be better described next chapter. As for the invasion and the new episodes of the awesome season 3 they will happen but with a twist so just wait. Well any way hope you like it.
Also, Thank you Sairey13! You are awesome and you all should love this person and read all their stories!
Karai: LEO, THERE SHE IS! D:
Leo: LETS GET HER!
Me: hehe *sweat drop* BYE!
