Having A Day Off (Open)

[Natasha Fatale]

[

(ooc: March 7th. Morning. A thread to develop our underdeveloped Ask That Guy Characters or ones you hadn't used in awhile.)

Natasha sat on the back porch in a deck chair. She was dressed in a purple T-shirt and blue jeans. Being a spy for Pottsylvania she was used to wearing a variety of clothes and felt her purple dress wasn't really the best wardrobe for a war. She would still wear it on special occasions but she wanted to get used to wearing these jeans. She didn't remember the last time she had a day off. Being a spy was a full time job and Fearless Leader never gave them vacations. She sighed as she laid back in the chair sipping on some root beer. 

XXXX

Mano walked out shirtless dressed only in a pair of black shorts. He had a Coke in his hand as he sipped at it. The cool air was refreshing as he took a break from his chores. He just wanted to relax a little bit. He sat in another chair smiling at Natasha as he took another sip. He was glad Mechakara and the others were back now and regretted not being part of the battle. But he was still being punished along with the others for their failed attempt at a rescue. At least they were allowed to walk around the house and weren't locked in their rooms. Which he was grateful for. He sighed taking another sip as he looked around.

XXXX

Smith walked out with a grin wearing his regular black clothes and hoodie. He was glad his fellow scientists and the others were back now. Ask That Guy and Dark Nella had given everyone the day off which meant he couldn't work in his lab anyway. He was drinking a beer as he took a seet on the porch smiling at Natasha and Mano just enjoying the country air.

XXX

Scar walked out joining the group. He stretched his legs as he sat down next to Mano. He wasn't sure why but this human he felt safe around. Perhaps because he was a slave or a child. But it was also because of that ring. Mano had the power to make him do what he wanted or read his thoughts. But he didn't use the ring which impressed him. Mano wanted friends not slaves which made sense since he already was one. Scar was curious how the ring worked but being a lion he knew it wouldn't be able to use it anyway. He reminded him of him when he was younger. He was always in Mufasa's shadow and then when he finally got rid of him he thought he could rule the Pridelands But Simba returned and ruined all his plans with help from those treacherous lionesses. Well most of them. Some still sided with him including Zira. He hoped they were all doing alright without him or Zira to lead them.

[Deleted]

Upon walking outside, Zira stood still and allowed herself a moment to breathe in the crisp air. It was still cold, but not nearly as much as it had been when she first arrived. Zira was grateful for that – having been born and raised on the African plains, she was accustomed to the heat.

The lioness was quick to spot her mate, and her red eyes brightened. She padded over to Scar and settled herself next to him. Only now did she take notice of the human he was sitting with. Zira didn’t know who he was, but something about him felt strangely secure. She didn’t know what it was and decided not to acknowledge this until the human asked something of her.

Looking at Scar, Zira observed, “At least it’s getting warmer.”

[Rodney Antwiler]

Insano gave Rodney permission to fool around and hang out with more people. He had to admit he wasn't social in the past and did not know how the newer members felt about his previous forced slavery with Facilier. He had more freedom to think for himself and much more freedom to do what he wished due to his loyal services but Rodney did not know what to do other than spend time with Insano or Seven of Eleven and even then he didn't know what to do. He suddenly saw Dr. Smith and instantly smiled, perhaps being friends with the other scientists would make it easier to adjust to his new freedoms. The robot made a buzzline towards Smith and responded, nervously "Greetings Dr. Smith. I see you are enjoying yourself so far?"

Sage was glad he had a break thanks to his chores being done well, and like mano he was regretful not getting some action. Due to being a adult as well as a person not involved with the child-attack, Sage was not so severely punished as Mano was at first. He saw the other slave, speaking of which, and followed him to take a seat. Mano seemed to be a only friend sort of person to sage but the man wanted to truly get along with his co-slave if they had to work together. So he smiled and responded "Man those chores can be a bitch can't they?"

Shredder was not pleased with missing the battle which took previously to this day. He wanted to fight but something kept him from doing so that battle so he decided that he had no choice but to wait once more. He would. Oh he would and when he finally got to the turtles, his target, it would be the greatest pleasure to ever come to him. He turned to Natasha and saw her by herself, seemingly unaware of what to do. Shredder decided to amuse himself by speaking to new members similar to himself and sat beside her. He turned to her and responded, with a red eye narrowed confusedly "You were at the battle last night correct?"

[Dr. Zachary Smith]

Scar turned from looking from Mano to Zira and smiled.

"Yes it is. Which I'm glad. Our home in the Pridelands was always hot. When there wasn't a breeze or rain of course. It took some time to get used to. A shame we can't take this nice weather with us. I do plan on going back and getting back the Pridelands. It's my birthright. I should have been king. Not Mufasa or Simba. I finally got my kingdom and Simba ruined my plans." said Scar annoyed.

He looked up in surprise as Mano started petting him. And rather than be angry or annoyed it actually felt nice. He'd never been petted before. But he wouldn't admit it of course not wanting to appear soft.

XXXX

Dr. Smith turned to look as Rodney joined him. He pulled the robot into a hug. He pulled black blushing slightly.

"Sorry. I just missed all of you. The lab was a very quiet and lonely place without you, Insano, and the others. I had Insuedo for awhile before he was caught. I'm just glad you're all back." said Dr. Smith.

He grinned at him.

"So how have you been since returning here?" asked Dr. Smith.

XXXX

Mano was lost in thought and didn't realize Scar and Zira were sitting next to him. He looked up hearing Sage speak.

"Yeah. I'm glad to get a day off. As well I don't know when the next one will be." said Mano.

He smiled as he absently petted someone next to him before realizing it was Scar. He nearly flinched but Scar didn't seem to object. He would still be cautious. Scar was a lion after all and a tempermental one at that. He kept petting him seeing Scar liked it for the moment but definitely would stop if Scar left or made sure he didn't want it. He turned back to Sage.

"So what do you want to do with your day off?" asked Mano.

XXXX

Natasha looked up to see Shredder and grinned.

"Yes. Thankfully we won and got some of our members back who had been brainwashed. It's not as many as I'd have liked but it's a good start." said Natasha.

She paused looking at him.

"You are The Shredder right? The one who hates turtles. I've had problems with animals myself. A flying squirrel and a moose named Rocky and Bullwinkle ruined all of our plans. I do wish Boris was here though. I miss him." said Natasha.

[Deleted]

Zira’s smile widened at Scar’s words.

“I’m glad to hear it,” the lioness practically purred, red eyes gleaming. “Before getting sent here, I had been planning to usurp Simba myself – in your name, of course – and place Kovu on the throne. But now that you’re here, the true king can return to power.”

She leaned in closer and became aware of the hand – Mano’s hand – reaching down to her mate. Zira’s first instinct was to bite, but as she was bearing her teeth, she observed that Scar showed no animosity towards Mano for the action. She looked at the human suspiciously, but he seemed just as surprised as she was.

[Karai]

Rodney was shocked Dr. Smith hugged him, not that he didn't like it but he felt shocked that Dr. Smith missed him enough to do this. He hugged back, tenitively due to uncertainty of hugging and smiled slightly. "It is a pleasure to see you also Dr. Smith. I am glad we have returned to where we belong" He smiled slightly then sighed "I have been alright. Though Insano reprogrammed me and gave me more of a personality although I still care for my master and seven of eleven I have more curiousity that I do not know how to handle" He sighed again taking a seat next to Dr. Smith "Is it possible you can help me learn how to act pleasant and with more personality?"
XXXXXX

Sage was shocked that Mano was petting scar, nobody had ever done that, and it seemed scar and zira were just as surprised. Sage was not one to pet lions, especially ones that could bite, and he felt nervous as Zira beared her teeth at his friend. He shook his head as Mano commented he was glad to have the day off and he smiled then, he shared the same opinion as mano did. He took one look back to the house and said "I'm gonna get a beer than you and I should get to know each other a bit more. I mean sure we've bonded with working but we still need to hang out and whatnot. Be right back" He quickly went inside and when he came back to mano he had a big bottle of beer with him. Sage drank some of it and responded "Ah. That's the stuff" He then sat and responded "So what's your story mano? You got some dirt or what?"
XXXXX

Shredder listened to Natasha and only nodded, glad that she was speaking to him finally. His expression perked up at Natasha's acknowledgement of his name and if it weren't for his mask masking it, he would be grinning arrogantly by this point. He nodded "Yes. I am the very same and only shredder there is" He then gave a pause as Natasha mentioned she too had animals bothering her and he sighed "Unfortunately many of us seem to be of great power that have fools for enemies" He then saw a woman come by and he quickly went up and responded "Karai? Is... Is that you?" When she confirmed it Shredder walked closer to her and gave her a small and quick hug "I am pleased to see you here" He turned to Natasha and chuckled "Natasha, this is my daughter karai"
XXXXXX

Karai admittedly was unsure of this place but rumors were quite on the increase about a man in metal being here and she was sure it was her father. Karai didn't want to get her hopes up but she didn't want to not try. She then saw her father, her actual adopted father, with a bunch of people talking to a woman. She was shocked, amazed, joyful and confused all at the same time. She went over and she said happily "Father!" She then saw shredder greet her and she nodded "Indeed father. It is me" She quickly hugged shredder despite the difficulty of his armor and nodded humbly as Shredder said he was happy to see her. And she immediately bowed for Natasha as Shredder introduced her, as was her duty to do. "How do you do miss natasha?"

[Princess Jasmine]

Scar smiled at her.

"Well once we get back you shall be my queen again. And Simba, Nala, and anyone foolish enough to oppose them will be eliminated. I trusted those hyenas to finish him off as a cub. I should have done it myself or asked you to help me. A young cub would have been so much easier to get rid of. We'd just have to think up a good plan so when we go back we're ruling the Pridelands once more." said Scar.

He paused looking up at Mano and back at Zira still feeling odd at him petting him. He leaned over whispering to Zira.

"I don't know why but out all the humans here I trust the boy the most. I'm not sure why. It's as if something's telling me this human can be trusted. It's weird I don't feel this way about any of the others here even the leaders. I didn't expect to get attached to any humans here but now I think I have. But this is so odd for me. The only one I've trusted before was you. Even the hyenas and the Outlander lions I kept at a distance. Perhaps spending so much time iwth humans I'm getting soft. Or going crazy." whispered Scar.

XXXX

Mano kept petting Scar seeing the lion not say anything againsth im. He paused as Sage left to get a beer. He paused seeing Sage get up to get some beer. Mano just sat there petting Scar as he turned to see Sage return.

"Well I've heard you know about an alternate version of me that's still called Ma-Ti like I used to be. Ask That Guy renamed me Mano when he captured me." said Mano.

He paused as he continued.

"I was happy as a child but like all good things it came to an end. My parents died when the house they were in was caught on fire. Our village was attacked and all the adults were killed or captured. They dumped me and all the kids off at an orphanage. All because they wanted to use our land for their greedy purposes." said Mano.

He paused realizing he was crying as wiped the tears away.

"I became a Planeteer thanks to Zarm the Spirit of the Earth. I met Kwame, Wheeler, Linka, and Gi and we became the Planeteers causing chaos wherever we could. Unfortunately thanks to the efforts of people like Dr. Blight, Greedly, and others they ruined many of our plans. We were lucky to get away and not get sent to jail. And getting captured here and made a slave has just added more bad times to my life. But I suppose it's not all bad. I have you. You're probably the only friend I have here since we're in the same boat." said Mano.

XXXX

Dr. Smith smiled as Rodne hugged him back. He let go knowing the robot was probably still new tio emotions.

"I'm glad to hear you and the others are ok. There was no permanent damage to what Facilier and the others did to you? I just wish we could have gotten Bender and Leonardo as well. But we'll have to rescue them another time." said Smith.

He paused with a grin and nodded.

"Of course I can. I'd be honored to help you. Insano helped you by adjusting your personality and gave you more freedom. If you wish to not have more programming and do it the regular way then I'll try to help you. But aside from updating your personality with programming it will be ultimately be up to you. No matter what advice I can give you it will be you who chooses your own personality and how to use it in the end." said Smith.

XXXXX

Natasha paused with a grin.

"I remember now. We joined the army on the same day. Although so much has happened lately and we've been so busy it's good to have this day off so we can relax and interact more. I would like to get to know my new allies after all. But being trained as a spy for years it's hard to get too close to people. The only one I suppose I've completely trusted is Boris Badenov. I love him but sometimes I don't think he feels the same way." said Natasha.

She paused as a woman came up and hugged Shredder as they reunited. She smiled at Karai.

"Well it's a pleasure to meet you Karai. So you two are warriors. That is good. I'm a spy so I know how to use a lot of weapons and grenades and things. But combat was never my strong suit. And I know at some point I may have to fight so perhaps you two could help me with that sometime? If you two aren't too busy that is." said Natasha.

XXXX

Jasmine meanwhile walked out next. She had a collar around her neck matching Mano's. SHe was wearing a green tanktop and a pair of green shorts and was barefoot. She had been made a slave after Ask That Guy had paid off Cyclonus giving him energon, supplies, and anything else he wanted. Cyclonus hadn't really wanted a human prisoner anyway just more stuff after all. She paused with a frown as she walked over ot Mano and Sage and took a seat knowing they were both slaves as well. Unlike Mano who could leave the house she couldn't step pass the porch and was stick in the house.

"Hello. I'm Jasmine." said Jasmine.

She paused getting a get look at Mano and looked at him in shock.

"Ma-Ti? What are you doing here?" asked Jasmine.

(ooc: Decided I'd make Jasmine a temporary slave of the army until her rescue so I can have more to do with her. But I still consider her part of Critic's army.)

[Shredder]

(OCC: That's fine. Peachy keen. And I apoligize for Sage, he can't control himself. Feel free to slap him. XD)

Sage turned to see Mano explain his life and Sage would've been lying if he said he didn't feel bad. Mano was very similar to Ma-Ti's path, that he became a planeteer through Zarm, though he was also quite different. Instead of being raised by a village leader, he was raised in a orphanage and instead of spreading peace they spread chaos. So he was the sympathetic villain type of character and that Mano was forced into slavery the minute he got here. Sage knew of his slavery but unlike Mano he kind of liked it, though that was the magic and manipulation of nella talking, and thought mano was being too negative of his life. "Hey cheer up. Slavery isn't all that bad. You get free food and free beds and free benefits" The other slave was aware of atg's attraction to mano and made some type of humor with it. He was trying to get mano to feel better. "Hey, as long as you do what they say, they'll pretty much treat you like the rest of the army". He responded with a grin "Well then. I'm Bennett the sage, which is pretty much sage for short. My life's not really as complex as yours. I was raised like a normal kid, except with tons of anime and porn but the porn I didn't get until 17 so that's pretty normal. Anyway I review some things like anime cartoons and animated films and live-action japanese movies. Then I came here and pretty much the same happened to me except nella found me instead of ask thatguy"

He then turned to see Jasmine, and he grinned admittedly wickedly. Sage was pretty attracted to Jasmine for quite some time and the fact she was here with a collar was extremely noticable to him. "Well hello gorgeous. Did it hurt when you fell down from heaven? Are you from tennesseee, because you're the only ten I see!" He then pondered with her question of what was ma-ti doing here. Sage looked and laughed, leaning close to jasmine as if to explain something very simple to her "You see cupcake, that's not ma-ti. That's pretty much a alternate version of him. He's mano and he's my friend. And if you wanna hook up as a trio just let me know or we can go together, that's fine"
XXXXXX

Rodney smiled slightly. He was touched by Smith's compassion and kindness towards him. He was unaware of his emotions still but he knew that what smith was saying was for his benefit as well as smith's own benefit. So it was a good thing. He then responded to his concerns "Not that I know of Dr. I seem to be acting fine otherwise. Dr. Insano and Insuedo feel more relieved about their relationship. However, I am regretful to say that DarkHeart has expressed many dissatisfactions upon arrival. I fear she is unto something, something risky. She might want to fight back one day" He said this quietly and he didn't want to spread gossip but his concerns for his love's sister were somewhat there. He responded "I do not want to be assumed for gossip so please keep that to yourself for the moment" He then sighed in relief as Smith willingly accepted to teach him about how to depend on his emotions and how to react. He even gave him a chance to program with more freedom. As much good that sounded, the robot wanted to LEARN not program his way out of things. He wanted to be more natural about it.

"As easy as programming sounds, I prefer you taught me your ways. I want to appear natural to you and the others. I want to feel realistic to others" Rodney said politely
XXXXX

"We can certainly be allies. The more the better for my conquest to destroy the enemies that persued me or tried to defeat me" Shredder said arrogantly to his new ally natasha. He responded as Natasha expressed it was hard to get close to people "I think that weakness is the best thing you can have by this point. Only trust those you work with, not who you must fight against. Besides, your duty to what you must do can be so much more important than honor" He then turned with a firm but collected nod, his way of approval for karai as natasha said that the two were obviously warriors and requested their assistance in combat. He responded "I would help but I am trying to assist the leaders in many other affairs. Fortunately Karai is here and now she can be able to teach you what I have taught her. I assure you, she is extremely intelligent and more than capable"
XXXX

Karai smiled at Shredder's praise but only nodded at it, as the physical sign of his words affecting her. She was humble when it came to her father's words, as was taught to her at a early age. Nevertheless it was nice to always hear her father's approval over her. She always wanted to impress him. Now that someone needed her help, now she could show her father that she listened and followed his teachings and make him more impressed than he actually was. Karai listened and responded to natasha "My father is right. I am more than happy to teach you combat and skills that are not in your possession. I assure you I will do nothing more than the best to teach you"

[Deleted]

“You can’t blame yourself for their failures.” Zira almost purred the words. “And besides, you didn’t want me to be culpable for anything in your plot. If it weren’t for that, the cubs and I would have surely been killed instead of exiled.”

Despite what she said, Zira knew that her mate was right. Had she been given the task of killing Simba, Scar would still be ruling the Pridelands today and she would be his queen.

The lioness listened to Scar talk about Mano.

“You’re not going soft,” she was quick to reassure him. “And you’re definitely not crazy. I can feel it too. Something about this boy gives me a feeling of security.” She shook her head. “I don’t understand it any more than you do.”

[Scar]

Mano paused and smirked.

"I suppose so. At least I got you. I didn't expect to find a friend here and I'm glad I have." said Mano.

He blushed at the free benefits part.

"I haven't been getting anything like that lately. I think with their wedding so near he's chosen to focus just on his wife. Which I'm fine with." said Mano.

He paused as he listened to Sage about his life.

"Wow. So you review things? There doesn't seem that mean reviewers here. Well except you and Ask That Guy I think." said Mano.

He turned to Sage and chuckled.

"You do know she's probably engaged or married right? I mean she's a princess. An attractive princess." said Mano.

XXXX

Jasmine blushed a little at the flirting. by both of them. No one had been so forward with her before like this. Especially on their first meeting.

"Sorry but Mano's right. I'm taken. I'm engaged to Aladdin and I plan to marry him." said Jasmine.

She paused still blushing at the attention.

"You two are slaves too right? We could escape and go back to Critic and the others. I'm sure Ma-Ti would like to meet you Mano. And if you have any friends over there like Critic and the others I'm sure they'd be happy to see you too." said Jasmine.

She paused turning back to Sage and glared at him.

"And don't call me cupcake. The last person who did well let's just say it didn't end well for him." said Jasmine.

XXXX

Dr. Smith smiled at Rodney.

"I'm glad to hear that. Although Mechakara seems to be avoiding ice lately. I poured myself a cup of soda with ice but as soon as he saw it he vaporized the ice along with the cup and soda as well. I asked him what was wrong and he said nothing and left. I hope he's ok." said Dr. Smith.

He smiled knowing just how Insano and Insuedo were. The lab was just a happier place with them here. Although sometimes he felt like the third wheel especially when they started getting all "lovey dovey" and kissing each other. He was happier for them but sometimes he felt like they might do more than kiss if he wasn't in the room. He paused as Rodney spoke about Dark Heart.

"That's not good. Perhaps I should speak to Insano about this. It may not be gossip. If something's bothering her and she's not talking to Phantom Virus, Mechakara, or Seven of Eleven about this then she needs to talk to someone. Perhaps she'll talk to Insano. He was with the group the longest and was one of the first to break from the spell. Perhaps he can help us with that." said Dr. Smith.

Smith paused as he said he'd help teach him how to use his emotions and react. When Rodney preferred to be taught the programming Smith nodded.

"That's alright. I'll help you. Perhaps you should also get help from Insano, Mechakara, and the others. The more help you get the faster you'll learn I'm sure." said Smith.

XXXX

Natasha smiled at Shredder.

"Thanks. I heard two of the turtles worked here for so long and now at Critic's with a third one nad a rat. And their former leader Leo is working in Facilier's army. I heard he doesn't remember anything. Not even you. Should be interesting if you fight him." said Natasha.

Natasha nodded at Shredder's words.

"That makes sense. Before I only really trusted my partner Boris but he's not here. So I need to rely on others more." said Natasha.

He paused as Shredder turned him down but offered Karai to help train her. She looked to Karai who agreed to help train her.

"Thank you Karai. I would like to improve my skills a bit. Perhaps we could train in the next group sessoin. Or train separately a few times." said Natasha.

XXXX

Scar nodded.

"I suppose you're right about that." said Scar.

He nodded agreeing with her second statement.

"You shouldn't have been banished at all. You were my mate and Queen of the Pridelands. You should have ruled in my absence. At least until Kovu could take over." said Scar.

He growled annoyed Simba had banished his family and allies. He listened as she spoke about Mano. She said he wasn't going soft or crazy that she felt it too. But she didn't understand it either. He paused leaning forward.

"I know he has that ring. But he hasn't used it. Perhaps we should ask Ask That Guy and Dark Nella for their permission. I have this urge to protect him. Perhaps if he was appointed our slave we could keep him safe and explore this feeling. This connection. All I know is I don't want anyone to hurt him. Perhaps because he's a still a kid he reminds me of Nuka, Vitani, and Kovu." said Scar.

[Shredder]

"Awww. Thanks" Sage responded at Mano's response that he was glad to have sage around. He shrugged at Mano's response at the free benefits because he honestly didn't care. However when both mano and jasmine pointed out she was engaged, Sage responded with a grin "Hey, he doesn't have to know. He's not here. You don't have to tell him and we can keep secrets" He smirked dirtily as Jasmine pointed out that the other two were slaves and that critic could help them out. Unknowingly to Jasmine, Sage was far more loyal due to Nella's spell messing up his mind as well as his physical stature. "Nah. I'm good here. This people are my kind of people, get what I'm saying? Sure critic and the others are nice but mano here I'm buddies with so it ain't my cup of tea" He then once again got closer to Jasmine as she threatened him to not call her cupcake "Oooooh. Fiesty. I like that. A girl who takes charge and takes no shit. Really sexy"

(OCC: Again. Feel free to slap him. I'm seriously trying to pull him back but he ain't listening to me XD)
XXXXXX

"It is because Facilier.... froze him. He's triggered by ice now because of it. Insano told me this. I don't think Mechakara would be happy if he knew I told you, yet I think you should know. I don't blame him for fearing ice due to his lack of power against it. I am more afraid of magic I am afraid" He sighed, Rodney was honestly scared by the magic users but didn't feel like bringing it up until now. He did trust nella but the others spooked him, he feared that they too would betray him. However La seemed calm, Loki was more focused on making the young son of Ask Thatguy laugh and Hades usually offered Rodney some "spiked" oil. Something of which confused him and so he declined

Rodney nodded as Smith said what DarkHeart was doing was not very good, and that if she wasn't talking to anyone, she best was in need of help. Even advicing that Insano got involved once more. "I heard her talk to herself that she was going to...." He looked around before leaning much closer to smith "I'm quoting this "kill those blasted magicians for harming my family". I think she wants to involve me, seven of eleven, her father, virus and you but she is more into planning it first. I saw her writing in a journal and I asked her what she was doing, and she got panicky and said "I'll tell you when it is done my friend". She's planning something. I'm afraid she'll do something stupid or suicidal" Rodney said in some sort of panic and hurt. Why would darkheart be so secretive all of a sudden? Why was she doing this? What was her deal? "It's best we tell mechakara then if it is not gossip. Maybe he will convince her that or like you suggested insano" He sighed, rubbing his arms in some sort of worry

"Thank you, Dr. Smith. The master and Insuedo and you will be extremely helpful to me. Besides, it could be, how did the master say it "fun"" Rodney said with a smile
XXXXX

"Ah. So leonardo is once more at vunerability against me. Indeed, thank you for giving me this lovely knowledge. As for the two turtles here, even if they were on the same side, I would've killed them. So it is good they left before I had the chance to ally with them" Shredder said bitterly "As for the rat, he especially has gotten on my nerves. He has hated me the longest, according to his words, because of his pathetic owner being murdered by my hand. I don't remember due to it not being such a loss to me" He shrugged as if this wasn't a big deal to him. "Indeed you must. As do I. More people means more chances of winning. Exactly what I want. Winning"
XXXXX

"Good. Because improving your skills will make you more useful, trust me" Karai replied curtly "Next group session we will indeed learn together. However I feel that when you have free-time we should make a scheduled visit to give you a hour or two of training. It will be beneficial and disciplinary" Karai said, a smile gracing on her lips. She turned to her father as he said he liked to win, Karai only fought for what she thought was right, which was normally what her father wanted. So in a way, she liked winning also.

[Deleted]

Zira couldn’t help but growl along with Scar, red eyes narrowed. It was true. As his queen, she should have been allowed to rule the Pridelands after he was killed. Instead she and her cubs had been forced to the Outlands.

“Ask their permission for what?” Zira inquired. She listened to the rest of Scar’s suggestion, that they make him their slave in order to protect him, and found herself drawn to the notion. It would be a safe way to look into the strange connection they felt to Mano without either of them appearing soft.

Besides, the idea of having a slave was appealing to the lioness. Having someone to command would be a surefire way to make her feel like a queen again.

“That does sounds like a good idea.” Zira smiled, showing her gleaming white fangs. “We should talk to Ask That Guy and Dark Nella as soon as we see them again.”

[Dr. Zachary Smith]

Mano grinned at Sage.

"Your welcome. Having a friend like you and my new brothers makes this place more bearable." said Mano.

Mano smirked at Jasmine said she was engaged.

"A shame. Well since we're stuck in the same boat I don't see why we can't be friends. I mean it's not like someone's going to rescue you anytime soon. After all how long did we have Chester, Iheart, and the others and then Facilier's group took them as well? You guys sure took a long time to get them." said Mano.

He laughed at Jasmine's offer to go with her.

"Even if we agreed there wouldn't be a rescue any time soon. And there's no way you could escape even with our help. Face it, princess. You're stuck here." said Mano.

XXXX

Jasmine glared at Sage.

"I'd know. I don't want anyone else but Aladdin. But Mano's right. We can be friends." said Jasmine.

She paused at Mano was mocking her offer.

"I know you're right. I may be stuck here for awhile but I'm not staying here. I will get out of here no matter how long it takes." said Jasmine.

Jasmine glared at him as he got too close. She slapped him before shoving him back.

"Stay away from me. I'm not interested." said Jasmine.

Mano seemed nice enough. He reminded her of Ma-Ti a little. But Sage made her nervous with his flirting. She hoped he would take the hint and back off.

Dr. Smith listened to Rodney's store.

"So Mechakara was frozen? That's awful. No wonder seeing or hearing about ice upsets him." said Dr. Smith.

He paused and nodded.

"Don't worry. I won't mention it to him. I am glad to know so I can help him if I can." said Dr. Smith.

He paused at Rodney admitting he was afraid of magic.

"Magic isn't something to be afraid of my boy. Hades, La, Loki, Dark Nella, and others here use magic. Magic can be good or evil. I personally prefer science to magic myself. But I understand your fear. Magic was used to enslave you, and Mechakara and the others. Don't stay afraid for long. Magic can do some good things even though I don't like it much." said Dr. Smith.

Dr. Smith listened as he spoke about Dark Heart.

"She's planning to go after them. I heard from Insano Malachite was weakened from an earlier battle and Mechakara hurt him even further. But Rita and Facilier are still as strong as ever. And there are other sorcerers in their army as well. Getting to Rita or Facilier won't be easy. It's a suicide mission." said Dr. Smith.

"I think we should tell them both. Get Mechakara and Insano and tell them. They'll know how best to proceed. They've known Dark Heart the longest out of everyone here." said Dr. Smith.

Dr. Smith smiled as Rodney thanked him.

"Your welcome Rodney. I'll help you however I can." said Dr. Smith.

Natasha nodded.

"Yes. You know if you could capture him in this state and make him your servant that might be more fun than killing him. Plus you could force him to help get rid of the rest of your enemies. I'm sure one of the sorcerers here could help transfer the spell from Leonardo's current master to you." said Natasha.

She paused and shook her head.'

"You would not have killed them. At least not until they tried to escape. Everyone who joined this army was protected from the wrath of others. If you tried to kill them you would have ended up dead or in a cell for sure. So It's a good thing they joined Critic's army before you joined." said Natasha.

Natasha listened and smirked.

"Interesting. Well this rat and turtles are yours. The only ones I'd really be interested in are Rocky and Bullwinkle. A flying squirrel and a moose. The squirrel's pretty smart but the moose is dumb. And yet they always ruined my plans. I was a spy for my country Pottsylvania. I heard it doesn't exist in this world." said Natasha.

Natasha turned to Karai and smiled glad she was helping her.

"Thank you for assisting me. I'm trained in a lot of weapons, bombs, and things. But in a war you can't always rely on that. Perhaps if I'd had more combat training I wouldn't have failed so many missions." said Natasha.

Natasha grinned.

"I agree. Regular training and private training would help me. " said Natasha.

Scar turned as Zira seemed interested in the idea as well of having Mano a slave.

"Excellent. Perhaps Jasmine as well. I haven't forgotten the injuries she and Sarafina gave me. Since I can't kill her like I'ed like to making her our slave would be the next best thing." said Scar.

He nodded with Zira's suggestion.

"Yes. We should talk with them as soon as possible. And take them both. Mano to protect him and Jasmine to punish her." said Scar.

"Well. That's good. I'm glad I'm your buddy" Sage said with some triumph. Then as Mano talked about being fine as friends with jasmine, the fact that jasmine thought she was getting out of here was pointless and that she was stuck here. "Yep. What Mano said. You're stuck here sweetling" He then was shocked as Jasmine slapped him across the face and shoved him away. The fiestiness of Jasmine DID still attract him but a slap was like a wake-up call for the perverted slave. Sage held his cheek and responded, honestly impressed "Wow. What a hit! No wonder Aladdin never wants to piss you off!" He rubbed his cheek and responded "Fine, fine. I'll back off. I probably would have to answer to your fiance's genie anyway if I tried. Still, you're hot and you should take pride in that"

He sighed "So are we cool now, princess? Can we still be friends at least? I mean I don't want you to hate me. Because having you glare at me is kinda scary and that's saying a lot because not a lot scares me"

(OCC: Sage... What? XD)

"Yes. I was very upset when it happened. Ice is the worst thing for him now. I tried to keep ice away from him but it always seems to appear" Rodney said, a sad tone in his voice and a regretful look on his face evident. He then nodded as Dr. Smith said magic wasn't something to really fear. That Magic could do good, and that people like Hades, Loki, La and Dark Nella used it for good. Rodney sighed "You are right. I should not fear something that is useful. I will do my best to get over it. It is not logical to fear something that is beneficial. Loki, La, Dark Nella and many others are very good people from what I have heard and seen"

When the subject of DarkHeart once again came up, Rodney grew much more serious than ever. DarkHeart was Seven of Eleven's sister. She and DarkHeart were close, if anything happened to her Rodney wouldn't know what to do because seven of eleven might risk her own life to help out also. He nodded "Yes. That must be it. She seems to be willing to risk her life for a chance to have Repulsa taken down or Facilier punished. I know of Malachite's injuries and weakness but the other two are well and healthy. She might get killed"

"Yes. Mechakara and my master will know what to do. Perhaps Seven of Eleven and Dr. Insuedo should come too. As well as you and me, since we have discovered this together! It will protect her by us telling Mechakara. He will force her to stay, hopefully" Rodney said with a enthusiastic tone of voice. He didn't want to not prevent DarkHeart from getting hurt if he could possibly avoid it. She was a part of his family in a sense and he would feel terrible if anything happened to her.

Rodney smiled as Dr. Smith said he would help him in anyway he could. As a response, Rodney hesitantly hugged Dr. Smith and asked nervously "Is this alright? Or am I being innappropriete with you?"

"A splendid idea, Natasha. I will definitely consider it. Perhaps Dark Nella will assist me! Leonardo at my hand would be a perfect end for the rest of those mutants" Shredder said, a pleasant tone in his voice. He really liked the idea of Leonardo serving him and being against the others at his will instead of malachite's. It would make things so much more interesting and painful for the whole family. It would be more fun indeed to keep him instead of destroying him

"Indeed. You have a point. Regardless I am glad they are on Critic's side. It will be easier to destroy them now" Shredder said with a hint of awareness of the fact alliances made people protective of said allies.

"I thank you. As for your enemies, feel free to take them down. I have heard no country called Pottysvania so I am sure it does not exist here unfortunately. But perhaps when we win the war, you can make that happen" Shredder said kindly. Well, it sounded gruff but the pleasant way it was handled sounded like he was trying to be kind. He turned when Karai started speaking

"Perhaps you would have won more but weaponry is extremely useful, especially in war but combat is always a needed tool for any situation" Karai said politely. She smiled again as Natasha politely thanked her, which Karai humbly bowed her head in response to "You are welcome. Assisting allies is a important thing, if we do not help each other we will not win"

"Good. Then we shall start as soon as possible. You make a schedule available for private training and whenever we have regular training, meet me and we will fight together. This should be easy to arrange" Karai said with a business-like tone. A calm smile on her features and her head held high in some sort of prideful stature was with her tone of voice

“Jasmine?”

Zira looked at Scar in surprise. She listened to her mate explain that the human had been one of the people who had injured him. She hadn’t known this before, thinking that only Sarafina was responsible, but now it was perfectly understandable. She stole a glance in Jasmine’s direction, and her red eyes narrowed.

“Since I can't kill her like I'd like to making her our slave would be the next best thing.”

“I agree,” Zira growled. She turned back to Scar and gave her mate a chilling, bloodthirsty smile. “It would be wonderful to punish her. I wish you had told me about her sooner.” She nodded, as though confirming the idea with herself. “I’m sure they’ll let us take them both.”
