What Do Fire, Wind and Heart Make? (Open)

[Linka]

(June 9th. Morning.)

Linka stumbled around the house in a daze. She'd come here last night so tired and hurt she'd practically passed out after coming here. But she had learned Wheeler and Ma-Ti were here somewhere. Gi, Mano and Duke Nukem were in other armies and threats. A part of her hoped they could reach Gi despite everything. Maybe if they'd been able to find Ma-Ti sooner. But now she was just eager to see Wheeler and Ma-Ti. And she hoped Kwame was ok. As she walked into the kitchen looking for something to drink she heard footsteps. She looked up see Ma-Ti.

"Ma-Ti?" asked Linka.

She walked up to him wrapping Ma-Ti in a hug.

"No, you are not Ma-Ti. We are together again." said Linka.

Linka shook her head.

"Are you kidding? I could never hate you. You are the little brother I always wanted. It was hard enough losing Boris and almost losing my grandmother. When you disappeared it just brought all that pain back. I'm so glad you're alright." said Linka.

She raised an eyebrow as a vacuum spoke to them and moved around them.

"A talking vacuum and a bear? Maybe we are dreaming." said Linka.

Ma-Ti yawned as he got up. He'd been spending the past couple days mostly with Wheeler. He'd felt bad for neglecting Iheart and his other friends. But he had his friend and brother back. And it gave him hope one day more of his friends would come. As he walked into the kitchen he froze seeing Linka.

"I'm not dreaming this time right?" asked Ma-Ti.

Ma-Ti held her tightly fresh tears going down his face.

"Wheeler doesn't hate me for ending up here. He said you and Kwame didn't but I'm glad he was right." said Ma-Ti.

Ma-Ti chuckled.

"No. This ist just the usual around here now." said Ma-Ti.

Kirby drove in as he began his daily cleaning.

"Out of my way! Never mind. I'll go around." said Kirby.

He went around them not wanting to interrupt what looked like a tender reunion. It made him miss his friends. He knew Radio and Lamp were around here somewhere but he hadn't seen them. And he hadn't seen Toaster, Blanky, The Master or the rest of their friends since coming here either. Kirby glared at the bear.

"I am not grumpy." said Kirby.

XXXX

Tender Heart walked out spotting the group.

"Well hello. I heard we had a new member. Welcome. I'm Tender Heart. Old grumpy over there is Kirby." said Tender Heart.

[Wheeler Halliwell]

Mickey was trying to get used to his surroundings. The most he had to true family here was Max, Goofy's son. Mickey was max's godfather and was very much like his uncle so it felt nice to spend more time with max, after all max needed someone to look out for him. Well it was him and some mutant turtle that max grew immensely fond of recently. Mickey turned to see ma-ti, Wheeler and a blond girl all talking and he saw the touching display of both friendship and romance. It made him miss minnie. But he would not be mopey about that, he would be positive as much as he could. Mickey waved to the three teens and replied "Hiya miss. I'm Mickey. Just wanted to welcome you to our... um, interesting group" He then replied "Don't mind me, just felt like introducing myself"

He then turned to kirby and couldn't help but chuckle a bit as kirby demanding he wasn't grumpy. "Aw it's alright kirby. You're just doing your cleaning. I respect someone who works hard" He replied, hoping praise would pacify kirby.

"Man. Gotta say. More people come faster than my eyes can take it" Raphael commented sarcastically at the expense of linka. But then seeing how absolutely joyful both wheeler and ma-ti were, it made him soften. The joy of theirs reminded him of his joy when leonardo finally came home. He couldn't fault the universe for finding a friend and bringing her back to her friends. He then went to her and replied "You get used to it real quickly. Trust me I did" He then replied "Name's Raphael. Welcome to the team"

Wheeler was basically attached to ma-ti's hip. A small part of him afraid he would lose ma-ti if he didn't keep a eye on him. He hoped he would get over his bump of anxiety with that but he couldn't help it. The planeteers really was a family to him. At least a true, non-toxic family. He heard ma-ti speak and couldn't help but curious as he too got out of bed. He then heard that oh-so-familiar sweet russian voice. Could it be linka? Could this be true? He went over to see her in person, joy filled him quicker than ever. Quickly he pulled her in for a hug, unconcerned whether it made him look bad. He replied "Linka! Thank goodness! You're alive! I thought I'd never see you again!"

[Linka]

Linka blinked in surprise seeing a talking mouse, bear, and turtle who were also human sized.

"This is turning into one weird day." said Linka.

She paused seeing Wheeler and ran over hugging him nearly knocking him over in the process.

"Wheeler! You're alright!?" said Linka.

She was in tears probably holding him too tightly.

"When we got separated I thought I'd lost you. I don't know what I'd do if I...."

She trailed off and pulled him into a kiss. She was tired of hiding or ignoring her feelings. They nearly died on a daily basis as Planeteers. Then their captivity with the eco-villains, losing Ma-Ti and getting separated. She wasn't going to wait any longer. She pulled back gasping for air and grinned.

"I'm sorry. I've flirted with you, pushed you away so many times. But I can't deny my feelings for you any longer. I wouldn't blame you if said no though. Or if you found someone else." said Linka.

She would step aside if he had. She owed him that much. She'd played with his heart too many times. Looking back she was trying to protect herself but she'd been cruel to him. She was just grateful he'd stayed her friend all this time. If that's all she had she'd take it. When Ma-Ti spoke she blushed. She'd forgotten they weren't alone.

"Ma-Ti!" said Linka.

XXXX

Ma-Ti grinned at the reunion between the pair and gasped as she kissed him.

"It's about time. I thought I'd have to lock you two in a closet. " said Ma-Ti.

He chuckled.

"What? You two clearly are in love." said Ma-Ti.

He smiled at the new arrivals.

"Hello Mickey Mouse right?" asked Ma-Ti.

He smiled at Raphael and Tender Heart.

"Hello, Raphael. Hi Tender Heart. Welcome to the new soap opera." said Ma-Ti.

XXXX

Kirby rolled his eyes.

"Great. Another couple. As if we didn't have enough already." said Kirby.

He paused at Mickey's words and smiled briefly. He was kind and reminded him of his old master. His smile fell and he sighed.

"Thank you." said Kirby, as he went back to cleaning.

XXXX

Tender Heart smiled.

"Ah, young love. Always such a nice thing to see." said Tender Heart.

[Wheeler Halliwell]

Wheeler was definitely surprised by linka's hug but managed to keep his footing. It felt like such a relief to see her. He smiled and replied "I'm so glad to see you linka" He then saw her cry and he smiled assuringly "Hey hey I'm not going any---" Suddenly linka kissed him and then proceeded to tell him that she had feelings for him all this time but pushed him away thinking it wouldn't happen. He then replied insistently "Are you kidding? Linka, it's always been you. That's why I flirted back. That's why I kept trying. You ain't gonna get rid of me. I'm stuck on you, babe" He then made a amused face as ma-ti joked with them "You keep outta this, dude"

He then ignored the rest and replied seriously to linka "I would be a total idiot if I said no to you. I want us to be official. As long as you want to"

Raphael couldn't help but snicker as Kirby and ma-ti made comments at wheeler and linka's expense. He replied to Kirby with a amused grin "Yeah it's so sweet in here I'mma get a cavity" He then felt a bit sad, feeling loneliness of his own. But he had a positive feeling he'd find someone too. And overall he was content with seeing people stay together. He then laughed as ma-ti said he was welcome to watch this soap opera "Thanks but I got enough soap operas from sensei" He chuckled, watching the nice romance unfold

Mickey, unlike raphael who found humor and Kirby who found disgust, he only found himself sighing in nostalgia. The love of his life Minnie and him were just as loyal as wheeler and linka seemed to be with each other. It made him miss her all the more. But he was absolutely happy to see happiness unfold. He nodded to tenderheart and replied sweetly "Yeah. It's beautiful. Gosh, it reminds me of when I first met Minnie" He blushed remembering that day well. He loved his princess and missed her terribly. He then turned to Kirby who took his compliments well and proceeded to clean. Wanting to get his mind off of Minnie, he asked gently "Would you mind if I helped you a little? If you want. I used to be a janitor before I became a musketeer"

[Linka]

(ooc: couldn't resist adding more drama. xD)

Linka grinned at his words.

"I've been such a fool. I thought it'd ruin our friendship. Or you would get bored of me and want someone else. And all this time you waited for me. I don't think I deserve you but I'm tired of denying what I want." said Linka.

She chuckled at Ma-Ti's words.

"Well we are together now so you don't have to do that Ma-Ti." said Linka.

She smiled at him as he trailed off.

"After you went missing we were all captured and put in different cells after awhile. I hadn't seen Wheeler, Kwame, or Gi since then. I fear they did something awful to Gi if she would rather be in a villain army. Without you we couldn't summon Captain Planet and they took our rings. My memories are fuzzy of..."

Linka stumbles around the office running into Kwame, Gi, and Wheeler. Kwame was handing them their rings.

"Kwame?" asked Linka.

"Linka. Take your ring. This place is going to blow." said Kwame.

"We have to go. Blight and the others got out of here. I think they probably thought we'd die on this thing. We have to go and find a way back to Hope Island. Hopefully, Gaia's found a way to find Ma-Ti." said Gi.

As Linka took her ring the ceiling began to collapse as the four scattered in different directions ru n ni ng off to different parts of the ship. She could 't see them anymore but she heard the cries.

"Earth! Fire! Water! knowing they were scaping.

"Wind!" said Linka.

She used her ring to break a window as she dove out into the water as a piece of debris hit her and everything went black.

"I remember now seeing, you Kwame and Gi before we got out of here. Gi's hair was purple. It was strange. But the ship was collapsing. The eco villains were gone and we had to escape separately. I remember blowing part of a blowhole away and jumping into the water. Something hit me and I blacked out. And woke up here." said Linka.

Linka pulled Ma-Ti into a hug.

"This was not your fault. You were brought here by the same technology that started this war. Not even Gaia could have foreseen this. I'm just glad you're safe. Part of me was afraid Blight and the others had killed you. I wanted to have hope but Duke Nukem .... he said he killed you. He enjoyed torturing me. He said he was going to perform experiments on me if we hadn't escaped I might be dead or be looking like him." said Linka.

She sighed.

"I should never have believed him. I'm sorry Ma-Ti." said Linka.

XXXX

Ma-Ti grinned.

"I'm glad you're together. I only wish...."

He trailed off looking sad. When Linka spoke again he nodded.

"Well if you two and Gi made it out then so did Kwame. I'm just sorry I couldn't find a way back to you sooner. If I had we'd all still be together." said Ma-Ti.

Tears were going down his face as he looked away.

"Gi hates me and blames me for what happened. What if Kwame does too?" asked Ma-Ti.

He paused at Linka's words and smiled.

"You lost heart Linka but you were tricked. The only ones to blame are them. But if I see Duke Nukem again.... he may be the one who ends up dead." said Ma-Ti.

How dare he make Linka think he was dead? He wasn't sure how but he was going to make that radioactive mutant pay somehow.

XXXX

Kirby sighed as he kept vacuuming and ignoring them all for now. He turned to Raphael and shrugged.

"Finally, someone else gets it." said Kirby.

Kirby paused at Mickey's words and grinned.

"Sure. I could always use more help." said Kirby.

XXXX

Tender Heart smiled.

"I'm glad to hear it. Sometimes I wish I could find that." said Tender Heart.
