8: First Mallynap: Action | Voice

Jan 17, 2011 10:46

[April is very quietly arranging flowers on the kitchen table when the droids come tromping through the door. She can hear the metal footsteps in the hall, and without even thinking drops what she is doing and runs barefoot out the kitchen door. April's special fear of killer robots gives her the adrenaline rush needed for a sprint through the snow ( Read more... )

flashbacks to baxter, mallynapping, not mousers but probably worse

April! Where are you?

Leo! I'm....passing the barracks now! HELP!

[Leo, do you hear that sound? It's a sound reserved for only two things - charging bulls and a rampaging, bloodthirsty Raphael on a mission. He thunders out the front door, practically barreling through it, sai drawn. The picture of unbridled rage.

Shit is going down.]

honorthecode January 18 2011, 01:57:29 UTC

We're coming April!

[Leo's not far behind his brother, charging out of the house. He's armed with one katana, but one katana's all he needs as far as he's concerned.]

What are those things?

[Raph doesn't have the presence of mind to provide a response. Darkness, anger pure and raw have completely overtaken his mind.

The minute he sees the droids, he lunges with a feral yell, ready to bury his sai in the robot's armor.

Before he can even so much as touch the thing, the droid swats him away like a fly, striking him with the force of a semi-truck across the plastron so quickly the blow can't even be seen. Raphael's helpless to stop it.

In less than a second, he's sent flying through the air like a rag doll, landing sprawled out on his shell several yards away.]

[Leo tries striking the bot as it's distracted, but he meets with the same treatment, winding up sprawled on the ground as well, as the bots take off with April.]

[No matter how much you try, you can't beat the Droids. Mercifully April passes out as they take her, overwhelmed with panic at a particular, claustrophobic memory of being trapped in the sewers by hordes of Mousers. It won't be long till she's back, boys. In what condition? Who knows.]

[Raph's back on his feet in a second, despite the dizzying ache in his lungs from having the wind knocked out of him. But April's gone. All that's left is signs of struggle in the snow.

He falls to his knees and tries to catch his breath between horrible roars of frustration and rage. Every single molecule of fear and loss and desperation, anger, worry and anxiety are pooled into that single instant.

You can practically hear him snap.]

[Leo's back on his feet as well, ready to try again. But the robots and April are gone already. Trying to force air back into his lungs]

No!

[He moves to pick up the fallen sword, with a frustrated noise. He glance at Raph, before he closes his eyes, trying to calm down and think. But robots just barging into their house and kidnapping April has him tense and alert.]

meanandgreen January 24 2011, 01:22:14 UTC

[Raph roars at the top of his lungs, pounding his fist on the ground.]

Son of a bitch!

honorthecode January 26 2011, 01:29:53 UTC

[Took the words right out of his mouth, Raph.]

Is there anyway to track those things?

[You know screw getting thrown around by them like rag dolls, there had to be something they could do!]

meanandgreen January 26 2011, 01:55:50 UTC

[There's a whole mess of emotions flooding him at once. His words are choked, a half-growled yell, tainted with something gut-wrenching and painful enough to make his voice waver.

He glares at Leo dangerously from the corner of his eye, battle-frenzied and raw.]

What do you think!? You think I'd be sittin' here on my goddamn ass if I could do something!?

honorthecode January 26 2011, 02:48:49 UTC

[Leo will glare back for a moment, before turning to glare at the spot April and the robots disappeared at. He knew it, but he couldn't help thinking there had to be another way.]

Ugh I'm starting to really hate this place.

[He growled softly, and turned heading back to the house.]

meanandgreen January 26 2011, 03:18:43 UTC

[Raph gets up and stalks off to meet him, angrily sheathing his sai.]

No duh, Leo. When'd you figure that out. I told you what a steamin' hole this place is! This ain't even the half of it!

honorthecode January 26 2011, 03:48:27 UTC

I see that.

[Leo ignored him, or tried to ignore him as he headed back. There was no point in arguing over something they couldn't fix.]

meanandgreen January 26 2011, 03:52:32 UTC

So what, no brilliant plans? No suicide missions?
