"Don't worry Emma I got you!" April huffs and puffs as she ran with Emma in her arms while the foot ninjas chased them down the block, Emma looks in horror as a foot ninja takes out a sharp pocket knife

April stops seeing they've run into an alley she puts Emma down and moves her behind her as the foot clan soldiers close in on them all around them

"Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa!" April puts her hands out in front of her looking around with a nervous smile "You guys really don't wanna do this right? It usually doesn't work out well for you guys. Because I have the ... four friends ... they're green .... ninjas."

The ninjas stay silent pulling out their weapons coming closer by the second

"Give us the ooze and hand over the girl." One soldier demanded holding his arm out

Emma looks around at them hugging onto April's leg shaking

They wanted to take her back

Back to the lab

Back to the horrible

Excruciating

Experiments

When she realized that for the first time something clicked in Emma

Something

Snapped

Emma's green teal eyes glow bright her pupils suddenly sharpened like a cat as her canine teeth grow sharper, without a single thought she pounces on the foot solider in front of her. She grabs him by the collar of his neck and does a front flip throwing him as hard as she could into the brick wall knocking him unconscious

She looks at the other soldiers and let's out a demonic anger yell. April slightly backs up taking back by Emma's suddenly burst of anger

The foot soldiers charge at hoping to over power her

One solider goes in for a stab with his knife but Emma quickly grabs his arms, twisting it before shoving the knife on his shoulder making him scream out in pain as he falls to the ground in agony

Two soldiers try to gang up on her but Emma holds out her hands and lifts them up in midair, she moves her left hand down making the soldier slams his body down hard on the ground before taking both her hands and swinging it making the soldier yell in pain before being throw into the wall hard as his body slid down motionless

A ninja sneaks up behind her and puts his arm her neck in attempted of chocking her out

Bad idea

Emma growls making her even more angry as she opens her mouth wide and bites down on his arm hard "Agh!" He screams out quickly dropping her Emma does a back flip landing on his shoulders with her knees locking his head in place and doing another back flip making him land on his stomach with Emma on top of him

April stood in horror as she saw Emma

This sweet little girl

Bashing the man's head into the ground hard numerous times as she let out an angry grunt with each bash

Emma turns her rage full eyes at a frighten soldier run down the alley trying to get away, Emma stretches out her hand as the soldier trips onto the ground and starts to be dragged back to her

"Ahhh!! No no no no no no no!! Please! Please!" The soldier screams digging his nails into the ground trying to get away, Emma telekinetically holds him upside making him look her in the eyes

"Please don't kill me! Please! Please!!-"

His cries of mercy go unanswered as Emma telekinetically swings her hands down to the left as the man yells out his whole body smashing into the ground and smashed onto the right side his screams going quiet as his bloody body laid limp

Emma slowly turns to one last soldier who was shaking terrified, he quickly drops the knife he was holding as liquid goes down his left pant leg showing he had peed himself

"Go!" Emma democratically barks, the soldier quickly turns and runs as fast as he could leaving the bloody scene

............................................

Emma's pupils go back to normal as she groans holding her head in pain "Ugh ow my head." Emma blinks a couple of times and noticed that the soldiers were still surrounding them

They were still alive as if what she just saw never happened.

Was that an illusion?

Was that something that she wanted to image happen killing all those soldiers?

A soldier grabs her by the arm snapping her back to reality "No! Let me go!" Emma screams out trying to get loose

"Don't touch her!!" April angrily growls but a soldier grabs her by her wrist trying to get the ooze as she stretched her arm out so he couldn't reach it

Out of nowhere hit the ninja holding Emma's wrist knocking him down to the ground, then another went flying making another ninja drop. The third grunts in pain setting April free as she looked around to see what the hell just happened

One of the soldiers wrapped his arms around from behind "No! Leave her alone!" Emma pulls on his arm but he pushes her away hard making her land on her arm "Ow!"

Emma whimpers in pain sitting up putting a hand to her arm she feels something wet and sticky as she holds up her hand to see a little bit of blood

Her breathing gets deep as she gets a splitting headache and could her eyes morphing in her skull as she slowly stood up looking at the back of the soldier

No no no no

The illusion she just had was about to happen

She didn't want to hurt anyone

Let alone

Kill anyone

Luckily something hit him in the face making him release April and snapping Emma back to normal, who loses her balance and fell forward making the vial in her hand slip and roll onto the ground

Suddenly a guy wearing a hockey mask holding a hockey mask charges at the two soldiers who start to charge at him, his weapons connect with theirs. April crawls out of the way trying to get the purple ooze but gets knocked out of her reach

The mystery man fights his way though the battle he blocks a ninjas blow and connects his hockey stick to the the soldier's goin who grunts out in pain before falling to the ground

April runs to get the vial but a foot soldier grabs her and throws her to the side making her land on a bunch of garbage bags

Emma tries to go for it but one of them grabs her by her hair as she lets out a yell in pain

The man hears Emma's cries of pain and quickly head butting the soldier he was fight with before running over and smacking the soldier holding Emma in the face with his hockey stick, the foot clan ninja falls to the ground

"You ok kid?" He asked bending down to Emma's level

"Y-Yeah I'm fine- Look out!!" Emma points behind him, the man turns as a solider throws something in the blink of an eye

"Where'd it go?" He asked April who taps the side of her head indicating it was a ninja star stuck on the side of his head

Him and April were both knocked to the ground by a ninja, the vial slipping from April's hand, rolling down the alley again.

The very last ninja ran after it, but the guy was quick to flick a hockey puck in the air and, with clear aim down the alley hitting the ninja in the head. The ninja collapsed to the ground, right as two police cars showed up.

Emma looks to see a soldier looking dead at her, out of fear Emma runs as fast as she could out of the alley as the soldier follows her

"No! You stay away from her!" April yells out running after them both, the hockey guy notices and speeds with them

Emma comes at a dead end as the soldier creeps up in front of her "S-Stay back!" Emma could feel her left eye twitch as she tried to keep control "I don't wanna hurt you. Please get away from me!" Emma holds her head as she goes in and out of mental consciousness

The soldier doesn't listen as he continues to walk, he's hit in the back of the head with a rock, he looks around to see what it was as April runs pass him hugging Emma close to her body as the ninja stopped.

"See, that guy with the hockey stick... in the other alley, We" April backed up a few feet as the ninja stalked her, "have nothing to do with that."

The ninja continued to approach, but let out a pained grunt as someone suddenly slammed into him and he was thrown into the dumpster, unconscious.

The man let's out a muffled, "Whoo!"

April smiles panting out of breath and relief. "Thank you. What's your name?"

His voice was muffled behind his hockey mask

"What's that?" she asked.

The guy repeated it again, his voice still muffled

April squints an eye "Stacy Moans?" she guessed.

"Oh, uh..." The guy realised the problem and raised his mask, smiling at her. "Casey Jones," he told her.

"Hi." April smiled as the guy smiles back, he looks down to see Emma hiding behind April's leg "No need to be scared kiddo those guys aren't gonna bully you ladies anymore." The man gives a kind smile

A sai zips itself in the post right by Casey's head making him jump back in surprise

"Get away from them!" Raph growled.

"Whoa! Hey! Whoa!" Casey exclaimed, pulling April and Emma behind him protectively as he stared at the turtles, who glared back at him. "Get back. Get back."

"Do... not... eat us!" he said, even as the turtles continued to approach him. "We are not... food! The people of Earth are not... your enemies."

The four brothers laugh Casey nervously chuckled hoping it was a good thing they were laughing. "Yeah? Yeah."

"Watch this," Mikey whispered, jumping forward and doing several flips through the air before landing in front of Casey, who aimed his hockey stick at him.

"Whoa! Hey!"

"We were sent by the Supreme Leader," he announced in a strange voice as he twirled his nunchucks around, "to eat delicious humans... and dip them in ranch dressing." Emma giggles as Casey stared at him

Mikey cracked a smile. "I'm just kidding," he said, punching the Foot Ninja as he began to recover, knocking him unconscious again. "I'm a vegan. Except for meat and cheese... and eggs."

Emma jogs in front of Casey to Donnie who automatically knees down to her level "Donnie I gotta a boo boo!" Emma holds up up from slightly bleeding elbow to him with a sad cute little face

He and his brother quickly glare at Casey angrily and protectively "You do that to her?!" Raph barks angrily stomping over to Casey ready to beat him into the ground

"What? No! No no no no no." Casey scrambled waving his arm in front of him

"A solider pushed me and I fell." Emma explained as Donnie examines her cut

Raph looks at April who nods in agreement and then back at Casey before huffing like a bull as warning

"Casey," April came over to stand beside Emma and her brothers, "They're my friends."

"Oh. Oh, they... They... They're your friends," he repeated faintly.

April nodded. "Yeah, they're my friends." She looked at them. "Tell him."

"Yeah," Mikey agreed. "Donatello over there in the purple, he's a technical genius, who is technically a genius!" Donnie turned away then looked back over his shoulder with a small smile like a game show contestant.

Mikey chuckled and points to Raph "Raphael over there in the red, he's like a big cuddly teddy bear..." Here, Raph smirked faintly as Mikey paused, "... if big cuddly teddy bears were incredibly violent."

"This is Leonardo," Mikey pointed to the eldest brother. "He's in the blue. Fearless leader. Silent but deadly."

"And I'm Michelangelo, sporting my signature orange. I'm a triple-threat... brains, brawn, and obviously a dazzling personality. Ladies like to call me Mikey."

"And this little bundle of adorableness is our baby sister Emma!" Mikey picks her up holding her in his arms like a teddy bear as she giggles "Isn't she the cutest? She gets it from me! But be careful she a little demon when she's hungry." Mikey snorts giving her a noggie getting sidetracked as his little sister squirms trying to get down

"Are you done?" Leo asked, slinging an arm over Mikey's shoulder.

Mikey nodded. "Yeah."

"S-Sister?" Casey raises an eyebrow confused "But you're human."

"Uhhhhh not really." Emma smiles raising a single finger, Casey looked confused until he saw his hockey stick floating above him midair "What the-"

"Sorry we're late, April," Leo cut in as they gathered around her. "You want to walk me through what's going on here?"

"Uh, okay, um, so we went to go see Baxter," she began, "but then Shredder was there. And then he was talking about opening up some sort of... portal, like, to another dimension, and then he... He took this purple ooze," She held up a small dart, "and he injected it into those two criminals that, uh, escaped with him -"

Donnie took the dart from April and walked off a few feet, inspecting it closely.

"Yeah," she nodded.

Behind her, Raph and Mikey were teasing Casey once more, mockingly trying to rile him up but he just held out his hockey stick in defense, clearly still wrapping his brain on what is happening.

"And then he turned one of them into a rhinoceros and the other one into a warthog," she finished.

Casey then took off his hockey mask and stared at her. "You have eyes on Bebop and Rocksteady?" he asked.

"Why do you care about those two?" Leo stepped closer to Casey.

"Let's just say that I have a vested interest in bringing them to justice," Casey replied.

"Let's get back to the lair," Leo nods turning to the others as he stood next to Casey. "Raph, grab Friday the 13th here and follow. If he can help us find Bebop and Rocksteady, he's coming with."

Casey immediately shook his head. "No, he's not. Not a chance. I'm staying right here," he said firmly.

"Oh, I'd agree with you," Raph huffs , "but you're wrong. See, we, too, share a 'vested interest'."

"I don't share anything with you guys," Casey argued

"Fellas, fellas..." Mikey interrupted. "Now, the people of New York need us to set aside our differences and work together. Which begs only one question." He paused and turned to April and Casey. "Are you two guys like a thing or..."

Donnie and Leo rolled their eyes. Raph sighed and shoved Casey along in front of him. "Come on, move it!" he growled

"Come on Emma." Donnie picks the little girl up carrying her in his big green arms "Let's get that cut bandage before it gets infected."

Emma looks over Donnie's shoulder seeing the soldier still unconscious as she gets a tight feeling in her stomach

If Casey hadn't knocked him out in time

Who knows what she would have done to him
