Part 3 Of Sister Moon

Message In A Bottle

Chapter 1

Angel Eyes

Angel glowered as she came to, realizing where she was… and more importantly, what she had become.

A prisoner of an endless war.

"Bishop," She finally choked," You're a sick, twisted fiend!"

"I do what it takes to defend my country," Came his cold, calculating voice.

Angel sneered," I still say you're a sick twisted fiend. And from what I've seen, we don't need any more of your kind in the government!"

Agent Bishop, watching her from within an outer room, pinched the bridge of his nose as he dryly noted," I'm not surprised. Few people are willing to understand the passion of a man who will do anything for the safety of the country."

Angel sighed," yep, sacrificing your sanity is a BIG help to the government!"

Agent Bishop glowered as he looked over at his agents.

"Is the trap set and ready?"

"Yes sir."

"Good. Be on high alert. The turtles are coming. And they know full well what I want."

Leatherhead blinked for a moment at the world that was before him. It took his breath away. He was barely conscious of Jolene whispering," Oh heaven! It's so big!"

"Indeed," Leatherhead rumbled back, looking around, he began walking.

Jolene stayed close by him," I… I hope we find him here!"

"For your sake, so do I," Leatherhead replied as he glanced down at the electrical compass he had brought. Jolene had both crystal and sketchpad. The landscape was both dark and bright in hues. The land was dark green, the sapphire sky bright, with flashing, shimmering stars. Was it night at this moment in time? But the land was illuminated so sharply...

Jolene took in the distant forest, the hill speckled land and beyond that… a sparkling sea. Truly, she couldn't take in the whole area, but what she could see was fantastic. Leatherhead took the lead, striding up the tallest side of a hill. Jolene followed, with some difficulty, as the hill was quite steep. Leatherhead sensed her struggling and half turned to her, taking her gently by the hand, he helped her climb the hill.

Jolene took a breath as they made it to the top and told him," Thank you, Leatherhead."

"Think nothing of it," He rumbled in reply as they surveyed the land. There was a dense forest to the east of their position. In the darkness, just beyond the trees appeared to be a city. They could see the lights, shimmering like distant fireflies.

Leatherhead looked down at Jolene, who looked back up at him," I guess that would be our destination."

Leatherhead nodded," I believe you're right," As he contemplated, he finally spoke," take my hand. When we reach the bottom of the hill, stay close. We don't know what inhabits this land."

Jolene nodded as they began to make their way down the hill. For some reason, she didn't feel particularly worried about her own safety. With Leatherhead there, she felt secure.

As she walked beside the gentle giant, she couldn't help but feel an irony.

Normally, in fairytales, the dragon is the one hindering or harming the damsel in distress, not helping her, or coming to her aid, Jolene smiled slightly as she thought this, taking three steps to his one.

Leatherhead looked down at her with a smiled," We'll find him, Jolene. I promise."

Jolene smiled back, her pale face slightly flushed pink as she replied," I'm sure we will. Thank you."

Chloe snuck over by the wall, her mouth grim as she looked over her shoulder. Raph was in place, as was Donatello and Michelangelo. She waited patiently, as Tristan came forward, stepping into the light, he growled as he came to the door, pressed in the code. Security guards came out immediately and he grinned," Hey guys. I'm here to see about an Angel!"

He attacked them. As security guards gave chase to the wolf like creature, Leo, Don and Raph were, at the moment, scaling the wall. April and Casey were parked a few blocks away in the Battle Shell, and April silently hacked into the system, working fast as she manipulated the system.

As Donatello and April worked at trading information, Raph and Leo worked to get in.

As they entered the second floor of the building, Chloe, Tana and Alex came into play.

Tristan had been overtaken by security and was outnumbered. Chloe and Alex came to his assistance, Tana giving a shout," Yoo-hoo! Hey boys, cat got yer tongue?" She giggled as they opened fire on her," Aw, now that's just mean!"

Tristan faded out, meeting with Mikey in the back of the building.

The security camera blocked their entrance. Mikey quickly and silently chucked a sai at the camera as Tristan rushed forward, hacking into the system, with with April's help. Security was mostly looking towards the front, where Chloe, Tana and Alex were keeping the cameras and guards busy.

Tristan and Mikey quickly made their way to the lower levels, sneaking past guards and using stealthy fighting when they needed to. Tristan's nose twitched as he nodded," Yeah, she's here alright."

"You smell her?"

"Well with that perfume she wears…"

They kept going, Mikey snickering, as Tristan glared slightly.

Leo, Don and Raph, meanwhile, had entered phase three of the plan.

Don, with April hacking into the system and feeding him information, lead the way to the security room. As Leo and Raph took out the guards, Donatello began shutting down the security cameras and alarms, communicating to Mikey," Alright, Mikey, Tristan, 34th floor, cell block 92."

"92? Why would they need 92 cells?" Mikey hissed as he and Tristan headed that way. Tristan growled slightly as he continued to follow his nose.

Chloe popped her rope into her assailent's face, grinning as he fell to the ground with a thud before whirling on the next bad guy. Alex and Tana had both joined hands, unexpectedly clotheslining a few of their own enemies.

Tana laughed like a maniac as she agilely danced, her tail swishing like it had a life of it's own as she called," Now, you guys must be military reject or something, I mean, I've never seen anyone with worse aim!"

Alex chuckled slightly as she ducked before swooping down, kicking out the legs from beneath another guard.

Chloe barely caught sight of Charis, who was watching from the rooftops. She had the important job of…

Well, you will see.

Chloe whooped as large guns were brought in.

She yelped," Let's go, guys!" as several shots rang out.

Alex shoved Tana out of the way of an oncoming rocket. All three disappeared into the sewer.

Charis readied the grappling hook in her hands. Her radio tucking over her head securely, she listened for Donatello's signal.

Angel looked up as Tristan and Mikey burst into the room.

"Hey there, baby, looks like you got time to kill," Tristan grinned.

She snorted," You doofus, you walked into a trap!"

And the door behind them was suddenly barricaded. Tristan gave her a wink as sleeping gas flooded the room. Mikey and he both took out breathing masks from a bag Mikey was carrying. Mikey quickly placed a third mask over her face as Tristan undid her bonds. Angel blinked owlishly as Tristan looked at the door and simply gestured at it with his hand.

It came open.

As they ran out of the room, Tristan placed a pink crystal on the table, growling, he shouted through his breathing mask," THERE! MY MISSION IS COMPLETE! I'M DONE WORKING FOR YOU, BISHOP!"

"Gentlemen," Bishop announced, his eyes glinting hard," We have a hacker in our system."

Well, What do you think thus far? Comments, questions and constructive crit are all welcome.
