Golden Angel
Chapter 63
“LEO…”
The blue-banded turtle tried not to look up from his meditating.
If he did, he probably would NEVER go back…
“Come on, love…What are you scared of?”
A light touch on his arm, like a warm summer breeze, and he fought the urge to look up at her.
“Don’t you want to play?”
Her warm breath near his ear, the suggestive lick under his jaw, and he couldn’t fight it anymore.
Looking up at her wide smile and registering that she was affectively straddling his lap seemed to turn him on like NOTHING else…
“Feeling hot, love?”
He couldn’t help a smile as he nuzzled her cheek.
“Why?”
She giggled as he licked the side of her neck slowly, savoring the taste.
She may have smelt like a warm spring breeze, but her velvet skin tasted like light chocolate.
“You always look so hot when you do that…”
A nip made her give a startled yelp, then a soft churr.
“YO!”
Both looked up at the couch, seeing Chi ‘glaring’ at them.
“It’s ‘ard ‘nough makin’ out wit’ Mike without ya two turnin’ each other on! Go get a room!”
Mikey chuckled, pulling the blind Earthbender back down to his level.
“Don’t worry about them, babe…We can distract each other…”
She smirked.
“I can live wit’ that…”
Splinter sighed, trying to keep himself in his meditation.
He often wondered why he had to live with nine hormonally-charged teens while six of them were in relationships…
If he recalled, Mizu and Don were enjoying some ‘privacy’ near his computers, and Kasai and Raph were together working on his Shell Cycle.
If anything, he hoped that when they started up a relationship that it wouldn’t be as public…
AS public…
He couldn’t ask for a miracle...
The ground began to quake, and everyone jumped to their feet in an instant, finding their balance.
“What’s goin’ on?!” Chi shouted as a portal opened over the water, pulling it around almost wildly.
“Master Splinter?!”
“We’ve seen that kind of energy before!!”
Artemis rooted herself firmly, clenching her fists.
A dark form came through the portal…
“Drako!!”
“And the Daimyo’s son! This is what we told you about, Master Splinter! They merged somehow! Combined together!”
“All inta one UGLY package…”
“We told you we would return! We told you we would have our revenge!”
“Get yer asses on the ground an’ I’ll show ya where my foot’s headed!”
“Don’t make me go up there!” Artemis threatened.
“Revenge THIS, whackbag!”
Raph was frozen in midair, and thrown back into a pillar shell-first.
“RAPHIE!”
Kasai ran to his side as the hybrid laughed evilly.
“As if you could simply fight us!”
Mizu clenched her teeth, water swirling around her feet.
“We control time and space! With Lord Simultaneous’s Time Scepter, we are unbeatable!”
“We’ll see ‘bout that!” Chi challenged.
Everyone jumped to attack the hybrid man, but were frozen in the air.
The Earthbender tried to struggle, feel solid ground, but it was hopeless…
THEN she hit something hard…
Whatever it was fell over, and she was sprawled on her back, dizzy.
‘MAN…I ‘ate ‘im so much…’
A large, stony-feeling hand grabbed her around the waist…
‘Oh hell…’
“Get OFF of me, you worm!”
Being hurled into a wall…
NOT fun…
And it REALLY pissed her off…
“Hey, jerk! What the ‘ell was that fer?!” She demanded, standing and whirling around to face her opponent.
He was at least bigger than Hun, with stony skin, small head, and large, muscular arms.
A Meteor Hammer swung in his hand almost angrily, and he growled at her.
“For landing on me, you little peasant!”
“What did ya call me?!”
“You heard me!!”
“Don’t get me STARTED, ugly boy!!”
“UGLY!?!”
He swung the weapon at her, and she ducked it easily, flipping her spiked metal bracelet over her knuckles and lunging for him.
“STOP!!!”
Both stopped, one from obedience and the other out of curiosity.
Chi ‘looked’ over her shoulder, pulling the sharp spikes away from her opponent’s vulnerable neck slowly.
The man in the doorway was comparatively small, wearing an expensive suit and ‘jewelry’, and had a gun hidden in his jacket.
“What do ya want?”
“To make sure you don’t kill my champion fighter.”
He looked her up and down, as if sizing her up.
“You’re rather good at fighting, for one so small.”
“Don’t even START…” She seethed.
“Why not join the competition?”
She quirked an eyebrow, crossing her arms.
“What competition?”
“Come with me and you’ll see.”
Cautious from years spent with jerks that like to play pranks or try to jump you, Chi slowly followed him.
“I am Ashi, and I fund the competition and its best fighters.”
He looked back at the red/gold-haired girl, and she quirked an eyebrow at him.
“You’re the most interesting fighter I’ve ever met. Small in size, but fierce and violent. Why not join in? You might be surprised at how well you do.”
“…Maybe…” She admitted, still wary.
“I might just have ta see the fighters…”
He opened double doors, and she ‘saw’ the massive auditorium, along with the ring and the screaming fans.
Two creatures were fighting at the moment, and her brow knitted.
‘They ain’t fightin’ ‘cause they want ta…More like they’re forced ta…’
Already, she had a bad feeling, but played like she didn’t.
“Seems interestin’…I’m in.”
“Good…”
Ashi seemed just a bit TOO pleased…
“You may have the next battle.”
Chi breathed out, grumbling something, before she was led down by an assistant.
Facing off against what looked like an immense, misshapen dog, she took a stance.
The beast’s heart was racing with terror, she realized, and decided not to hurt it.
The creature roared, charging, and she ducked under its long claws.
Bringing up a column of earth, she slammed it into the dog-creature’s stomach and chest, making it fly back.
It fell out of the ring, and a bell rang shrilly, hurting her ears.
“Winner, our new challenger! The Blind Bandit!”
‘OH, clever…’
“Her next challenger, our own Flaming Wing!”
A large, Amazonian-like woman with large, fiery wings stepped up onto the earth-made ring.
“Are you ready, little girl?”
“Bring it on, hag.”
The Earthbender side-stepped a large knife, and used earth to shackle the woman’s feet firmly to the ground.
“How ya gonna beat me when ya can’t even move, ‘Flamin’ Win’?”
The Amazonian beat her large, fiery wings, but could not free herself before earth bound her wrists.
Chi smirked, bringing up a boulder…
“Check an’ Mate…”
A cry, and the Amazonian flew out of the ring.
“And we have a WINNER!”
‘That voice is startin’ ta piss me off…’
“Let’s give her a rest as our own Stony Fist takes a swing at the competition at the one and only FREE-FOR-ALL BRAWL!”
‘I say keep ‘em comin’…’
Walking off the elevated stage coolly, she walked past Ashi.
“Too easy…”
“You’ll be surprised when this is over…”
Furrowing her brow at that comment, Chi was led into a room to wait.
‘Better start tryin’ ta get ‘ome…’
She was worried about what was happening to Mikey…
‘Is ‘e hurt? Scared?’
Putting a hand on the wall, she let her senses spread over the building…
‘Auditorium, room, room…Is that a prisoner?’
Looking around, she rested her forehead on the smooth wall.
‘I think…’e’s doin’ somethin’ in there…’
Determined now, she followed the vibrations to a firmly chained, locked door.
‘Easy…’
Ripping the metal chains with Metalbending, and opened the door easily.
“Who are you?”
The old man, wearing robes as he sat Indian-style in the middle of the room, looked up at
the petite girl.
“Technically? I’m Chi. Who are ya?”
“I am a sorcerer, Kashikoi. I was brought here by Ashi to insure that his competitors fought for him.”
Her eyes narrowed, though they couldn’t see…
“That’s why I felt those animals fightin’…They were fightin’ ya…”
“Yes. Why are you here?”
“I kinda…dropped in.”
“Then you are also doomed…”
“Nobody controls me…” She replied defiantly.
“Are you sure of that?”
She never once wavered as she stood there, facing him like a statue.
“’A course.”
“…Then I believe you can break my spell…”
Her very body seemed to waver, glowing blue as she felt the earth disappearing under her feet.
“What’s goin’ on?”
Whatever it was stopped, leaving the Earthbender confused.
“And now it’s time for the final battle…Stony Fist versus The Blind Bandit!”
“You must go now.”
She was reluctant to leave him, and fidgeted in place for a moment before nodding.
“I hope you will succeed.”
‘Me, too…’
Walking out and fixing the chains, she headed to the auditorium.
The very creature that had decided to call her ‘worm’ and such was in the ring…
‘I’m gonna enjoy this…’
Stepping up, she already heard the swing of the Meteor Hammer as he twirled it within his hands…
“Time to crush you, little girl.”
“We’ll see ‘bout that, pebble-man.”
The heavy weapon flew at her, and she side-stepped the heavy sphere so barely that she felt the wind against her skin…
Moving her hands up, she brought up a sharp shard of earth, cutting the chain.
Once the heavy weight fell, Stony Fist charged for her in rage.
Ducking his fist and kneeing him in the stomach, she flipped away and landed solidly on her feet.
Bringing both hands up, she felt him stop, unable to move.
“Well, what do we ‘ave ‘ere? Can’t move?”
He growled at her, a gravelly sound that she already disliked, and she smirked.
“Buh-bye…”
With a swift move, he was bodily thrown into the air and smashed through a short wall.
“Winner! THE BLIND BANDIT! Show her the prize!”
Turning, she saw a group of men behind her, and quirked an eyebrow.
“I’m guessin’ I ain’t gonna enjoy this…”
One large man grabbed her wrist, and she allowed it until she saw a strange tattoo-cattle iron in his hand.
Smashing him into the ceiling with a pillar from underneath him, she stepped back and brought up a wall of boulders.
“Bring it…”
They jumped, but she slammed them away easily, not even breaking a sweat.
Ashi stepped forward, pulling out his long-barreled gun.
“I don’t believe you understand…”
He pointed it at her, and her eyes narrowed.
“You can’t kill me wit’ that…”
“I think I can…”
The gun fired, but the bullet stopped before her eyes, and she smirked at his surprised expressions.
Flipping her bracelet over her knuckles, she rushed him, knocking him onto his back as a spike threatened to slit his throat.
“I think it’s ‘bout time I broke this spell yer makin’ ‘im do an’ free these people…”
“You can’t stop me!”
“I think I just did…”
‘Seeing’ the strange pendant in his hands, she crushed it easily, causing his eyes to widen.
“NO!”
The angry creatures surrounded him, teeth bared and hisses filling the air.
“I think I’ll just leave ya ta them…”
That strange pulling feeling, and she felt the earth leave her temporarily…
‘What now?’
Closing her eyes at the floating feeling, the pull led her away…
‘Comin’, Mikey…’
The blue-banded turtle tried not to look up from his meditating.
If he did, he probably would NEVER go back…
“Come on, love…What are you scared of?”
A light touch on his arm, like a warm summer breeze, and he fought the urge to look up at her.
