17. Torn
General Narration
Shredder had done all the malicious thinking and couldn't wait to end the turtles, once and for all. And his key piece of his plan, was Breeze. He wouldn't be able to pull this off without her. She was basically bait, but also the muscle, considering her powers.
She would lure the turtles to the Shredders lair and once they were trapped. . .attack.
Breezes POV
"Are you ready?" Shredder asked me. I finished sharpening my kunai and nodded to him. "Good, then we shall begin immediately. Karai, follow Breeze. When the turtles show, kidnap Breeze and bring her back to the lair." Shredder instructed. "As you wish father." She replied whilst bowing.
I hooked my weapon to my belt and flew out of the building. I took to the rooftops and casually flew around, keeping a sharp eye out for the turtles. "They should be on patrol round about now." I muttered to myself.
And as I thought.
In the distance I spotted the blue clad leader standing at the edge of the building with his followers behind him.
I spied Karai and nodded in her direction. "Time to put on the show." I said to myself as I put on a worried look and flew at full speed towards the turtles.
"RAPH!!!" I yelled as I stopped just before him, stumbling into his arms. He caught me, wearing a shocked expression in his face. "CASSANDRA!!!" He yelled back. "I'm sorry Raph, I'm so sorry, I don't know what I was doing!!" I pleaded, trying to force out some tears. He then did something I never expected.
He pulled me into a warm, protective, strong hug. My eyes widened. As I was fake-panicking, I couldn't help but melt into the hold, it felt. . . good. The more light, sane, controlled side of me was tugging at the other half of me, trying to take over control. I shook off the feeling and pulled back, going back to the plan.
"Karai! Foot! They're, they're after me!" I rapidly said. "Where?!" Leo said, unsheathing his katanas.
"Right here Leo." Karai said while atop the rooftop next to our own. She jumped to our rooftop, foot bots following her. "Get behind me Cas." Raph ordered, ushering me behind him, protectively standing in front of me. I couldn't believe it, after everything I'd done, everything I'd said, he still cared and forgave me instantly.
"Foot bots! ATTACK!!"
As soon as Karai yelled out I was knocked out of my trance and back into reality. The turtles fought the foot bots furiously, except Leo who went after Karai of course. I was about to pretend to help before two bots came up behind me and knocked me on the head, hard, knocking me unconscious. I know the plan was to kidnap me, but that was a bit uncalled for. The last thing I remember is blackness and Raph calling out my name.
-------
I don't know how long I was out for but it mustn't have been long because when I awoke Shredder was smirking at the four trapped turtles.
I shakily came to my feet and rubbed my head, instantly wincing as I touched the tender part where I'd been hit. My vision was blurry at first but came into focus soon after.
"You turtles are mine now. Splinter will soon come after you and you will watch as your dear sensei falls!" Shredders voice echoed and bounced off the cold walls of the building.
General Narration
"You won't harm our sensei!!" Michelangelo yelled to shredder.
All the turtles were furious at Shredder, making threats and warnings to him. Then Breeze came into sight. . .
"Cassandra?! Cmon! Y-you're free, help us out." Michelangelo pleaded, desperation showing deeply in his baby blue eyes.
Breeze stood still unable to react, frozen in fright and shock and all things related.
All of a sudden Karai came slowly walking up and stood next to Breeze, smirking, leaning all her weight on her right leg and crossing her arms. "You're too late turtles, she's with us." She slurred the words making sure they heard every part of her sentence.
Raphael's head perked up a little at her words. He emerged his way through his three other brothers and came up to the bars, holding a bar in each of his hands.
"Cassandra. . .is it true?" He asked in desperation, pain and hurt written all over his face. His emerald, green eyes searching for the answer he so wanted to hear.
She opened her mouth to answer him but no words would form past the lump that had already taken place in her throat. She closed her eyes and looked away unable to stare into his desperate eyes any longer.
"Cassandra, please." He begged, his voice cracking at the 'please'. The desperation laced around his words was unbelievable. "That's enough from you turtle." Shredder boomed as he grabbed a small square controller and pressed a red button. Instantly, Raphael yelled in agony and fell to the floor as the bars he held, and the rest that surrounded him, began to surge with electricity, sending a shocking current into anyone making contact with the bars.
Breeze looked back up, returning her gaze to the red masked turtle, who was now lying on the floor scrawling in pain as the currents kept surging through his body, slowly dying down.
"Leave them to suffer." Shredder ordered as he left the dungeon cells and returned to his throne above. Breeze was unable to move and kept staring at Raphael, shocked at the current sight.
The light side of her being was calling to her and gradually, slowly taking over.
"It's time, to go." Karai said sternly, a silent threat within her words. Breeze shut her eyes closed and walked off. Karai smirked and remained a little longer in the dungeon cells.
She crossed her arms proudly, leaning her weight on her right leg. "Karai. Let us go." Leonardo said strongly, not showing any weakness. "No Leo! Splinter will pay for taking my mother away!" Karai spat, venom in her every word, determined to make Splinter suffer. "Splinter is your father! Shredder is lying to you." Leo pleaded, begging for the truth to reach her.
Karai didn't reply, she turned on her heel and left the four turtles to await their demise.
"What're we gonna do?! Splinter will get worried about us and surely come after us! Then what?! He'll have to verse shredder and shredder will definitely be ready for him and-"
"Enough!" Leonardo interrupted Donatello's rant. "We'll get out and escape before splinter even thinks about coming after us. Understood?" Leonardo explained. Donatello and Michelangelo nodded in response. The blue leader turned around to his brother, clearly shattered and broken. "Raph. . . Are you up for this?" He asked. Raphael stood up silently and nodded at his older brother, determined. Determined to bring back Breeze to her normal self, to save her from herself.
Leonardo searched the dungeon looking for a key, a lever, button anything. "Over there!" Donatello exclaimed, pointing to a set of keys on the other side of the dungeon, hanging off a hook.
"Great job Donnie." Leonardo praised as he unsheathed one of his katanas in an attempt to grab the keys. He slid his arm through the bars and stuck out his katana. He then lowered his arm in defeat. "It's too far." He groaned.
"Here lemme try." Donatello spoke up, grabbing his bo staff. He followed the same procedure as Leonardo did and failed just as his older brother had. "It's useless, it's too far." Donatello spoke.
"Stop being so melanic dude!" Michelangelo chimed in, skipping towards his older brothers and taking Leonardo's katana and Donatello's bo staff. He swung out his kasurigama chain and tied the katana to the end of the bo staff, hooking his chain and locking the weapons in place. "Taadaaa!" Michelangelo cheered and stood up proudly. "I call it. . . The Katarigastaff." He said.
". . . Melancholy." Donatello corrected Michelangelo. "Whatever dude." He retorted back. Leonardo grabbed the new weapon Michelangelo had made and tried once again to grab the keys.
He was about to grab the keys and pull them off the hook until his arm gave out and the front of the weapon hit the floor. The length of the weapon was too hard to hold from the other end of the staff. He was about to try again when Raphael slid his own arm through the bars and placed his hand a little higher than Leonardos.
Leonardo looked at his younger brother and smiled as Raphael smirked back at him. Together, they brought the weapon back up to mid air and stretched their arms out as far as they could. They finally connected the top of the katana to the ring of the keys. They heaved the weapon up and swung the keys over the hook. "Aw yeh dudes!" Michelangelo cheered and jumped as his older brother brought the weapon back through the bars and grabbed the keys off of the katana. Donatello unchained the weapons and handed each weapon to their rightful owner.
Raphael twirled the keys around his finger and smirked proudly. "Now, let's get outta here." Raphael approached the lock and put the keys through the bars and inserted the key in the hole.
He fiddled with it until he finally heard the click and the door jumped open. All four turtles ran out of the cell and headed up to face Shedder, the only way to get out of this hell hole.

"So, what'll happen to the turtles?" Breeze asked cautiously, secretly worried about them. "They will be killed as soon as they serve their purpose." Shredder explained heartlessly, not caring a single bit. Breezes heart skipped a beat, unable to imagine a world without them. "Why? You care for them?!" Shredder asked, his voice deep. "N-No! Never. I-I was just wondering." Breeze stuttered.
Shredder rose from his throne and his blades sliced through the air as they came out of his gauntlets. He slowly stalked towards Breeze as she slowly backed up herself. He held his blades up to her face.
"If you have any thought of betraying me and helping he turtles, the consequences will be dire." He threatened slowly. She gulped and nodded her head.
"SHREDDER!!!!" Raphael yelled from across the room. "Let. Her. Go." He said sternly. "Turtles?! How did you get out?!" Shredders voiced boomed. "With a katarigastaff bruh!" Michelangelo chimed in, swinging his hands in front of himself in a gangster manner.
Shredder took his blades away from Breeze and faced the turtles. "FOOT!!" His loyal ninjas stood by his side as his followers, like karai fish face and the many others, took their battle stance. "ATTACK!!"
