TMNT University

Aone was silent for a brief moment before her face paled and she threw the phone on the ground, smashing it. Raph was beside her in a moment, kneeling next to her when she sank to her knees.

"Aone? What's wrong? Was it Zazie?" He asked quietly but Aone shook her head, tears in her eyes.

"Raph, I gotta get away from here, now. The Labs found me, and they're coming to get me now, and kill all the witnesses! They captured Zazie!"

Kaida covered her eyes. Prof. Raph hit her on the head. "Real appropriate."

"We'll help you," offered Prof. Leo. "Zazie is our friend too."

"Zazie!" gasped Nozomi. "That's the lady I met who calmed me down after Michelangelo captured me! We have to help!"
"I don't know who this Zazie is," said Molli, "But I'm siding with my sister."

"Thank you." Aone smiled at the others before blinking as lights from a truck shone at them.

"Well well, it looks like she's not here." A man yelled and Aone held tighter to Raph.

"That's them. They must not recognize me."

"Would you like me to tie up the truck with vines," asked Nozomi. "Plants are my magic nature."
"My is fire," said Molli. "I can get them outta here real quick."
"No, we need to get, Zazie," said Leo.
"Tying up their truck is a good idea maybe," said Mikey.

"Who are they?" asked Kaida loudly. Prof. Raph slapped his hand onto her mouth while Prof. Leo face-palmed.

"Indoor voices," Prof. Mikey said.

The men confered among themselves for several moments before crossing over to the group. "Hello, I don't suppose you know where Aone is, would you?" One person asked the others, not noticing Aone.

"What's an Aone?" asked Prof. Leo coolly.

Molli was struggling not to giggle. Nozomi took an unnoticeable side step to the left to shield Aone a bit more.

The men glanced at each other, obviously confused. "About this high, half robotic and half human..you'd know her if you'd seen her." The men responded, his hand held at about his shoulder height. Aone noticed Nozomi step to the side and she smiled gratefully, still clinging tightly to Raphael.

"Robots? Excuse me gentlemen but this is a private university, not some sort of laboratory" Donatello exclaimed.
"If you're looking for something like that, you better go check Stocktronics. It's the only place in town that handles those types of things. Although it has been closed for years" I added, grabbing Donatello's hand.

"Aone is a person?" said Prof. Leo, sounding surprised. "Well, I would certainly know if there was an unaccounted person here. And I'm afraid to say there isn't."

The men stared Leo in the eye for a few moments before he turned to walk back to the van.

"Well, if she wants to play it like that..." He whispered quietly, pausing for a moment before climbing in the van. He said something else but Aone didn't hear it because a shock raced through her body, blacking her out for several moments.

Kaida yawned, moving casually in front of Aone. "Have we got any more chips?"

Tom got close to Kaida.
"Your friend just passed out! And you're asking for chips? Woah" he commented.

"I'm fine." Aone muttered blinking her eyes open and looked at Raph's concerned face. "I'm fine, honest."

"I was not telling them about Aone," said Kaida. "They might have heard us."

"Be careful," whispered Nozomi, who had grabbed Aone's hand as the girl had fallen. 'We need to get her out of here,' she thought.

"I'm trying." Aone smiled as Raph helped her to her feet.

"And we'll help you all the way," said Prof. Raph.

"Thanks." Aone smiled before she looked up at the university. "Let's not worry any other students though."

"Yes," agreed Blossom. "They don't need to know that there are problems. It just makes people anxious when it isn't their burden to carry."

Kaida yawned, stretching her arms. "Well, I'm bored. I'm going to have a nap in my room."

"Ah, Kaida..." said Prof. Leo. "About that."

Kaida, who had been about to walk away, froze. She slowly turned her head and replied sweetly, "Yes, Professor Leonardo?"

He smiled. "Sensei and I need to talk to you. Would you mind coming to my office?"

"I would."

He sighed. "Come on."

Molli chuckled at Kaida's predicament. Nozomi shook her head at her sister as she patted Aone's arm sending a few healing waves in as well. Mikey suddenly took her by the hand and began to lead her inside. She blushed fiercely.

"Apparently we'll all have to stay low for a while. Maybe even take some vacations off the campus. Especially Aone and Raph" I stated.
"That won't be necessary. If those men come back, we'll be ready for them" Donatello assured.

"So will we!" said Molli. "My sister and I can set up a few magical barriers and traps. But if you guys want, you can come visit the Fairy Realm for a...well, I guess field trip, there is a festival coming up soon that we have to go to. Nozomi and I can probably slip yopu guys in. They let odd mortals in some times, no offense. Plus, if you get in good with the fairy crowd, we may have a hiding spot for you if we need it."
