---------
Leo sat with Donny as they watched their brothers move furniture around.
"Guys, come on this is silly, I want to help." Donny complained.
"No way donny, you need rest" Said Mikey helping Raph lift up the couch.
"But I have rested! I've rested for weeks. I rested while you cleaned up the lair, I rested while you moved furniture, heck on more then one occassion I was sitting on the furniture you were moving! I'm done resting!" Don said, Leo he could understand, but now he felt fine.
"We'd rather not have you relapse" Said Leo, "Yeah donny you weren't exactly fun when you were 'sick'" Said Raph.
"Fun!" Mikey asked, still wary of his mate. "He was a monster! An absolutely horrible nasty drooling big bang monster!" He then pointed a finger at his mate. "You tried to eat my leg!"
Donny's heart sunk a little his feelings hurt, "Like I could control what i did then" He grumbled. He looked down closing his eyes sadly.
"I-I'm sorry Mikey." He said appologetically. "Guys, I don't remember any of that." He said softly, his own mates accusation stinging him hard, but then he couldn't blame him if he never came near him from what he's heard.
Mikey, even though he was wary of Donny, guiltily creapt up, he still loved his mate...
Leo heaved himself to his feet, despite Don and Raph's complaints he still managed to wear his gear, katana included, it made him feel more secure.
"It's ok Donny." He turned and laid a hand on the others shoulders. "You know we have been cooped up in here for a while." He grinned. "Who's up for some late night entertainment?" He asked, and smiled at the raised hands. Despite his condition he still kept himself in shape just incase.
Raph frowned not to sure of his mate being able to go or not, but knowing Leo he wouldn't stay behind.
"Alright Leo you can go, but becareful, if you look in pain or uncomfortable at all, you're comming back home." Raph said sternly.
Leo sighed nodding "Okay." Now he knew how Raph felt when ever he lectured him on coming home late.
Don got up and untied the wrap that was around his leg. Leo went to let Splinter know they were headed out. Moments later Leo came walking out of Splinter's room ready for the night run.
----------
Leo happily ran across the rooftops with the other three turtles, landing ontop of a water tower and watching his bros jump past before he jumped off again following them, carefully carrying his katana in his hands, it felt good to run, and the baby seemed to agree as it seemed to just sit back and enjoy the ride, letting it's dad have a good time.
He landed on the next rooftop, running before jumping to the next one enjoying the feeling of momentairly flying before he stopped along with his siblings at the next rooftop.
"Man, it feels good to be out and about again." Don said as he stashed his bo away again. Leo as well sheathed his katana.
Leo nodded agreeing with Donny, the wind whipped around them making their bandana tails flap in the wind.
Raph got up from tackling Mikey, and frog leaped over Mikey to come and stand between Leo and Raph, while Mikey used Raph to back flip into the other side of their little circle. Don watched his mate with a smile
"Are we sure Donny's all better?" Mikey asked. "See the full moon Donny? Do you feel the monster inside? The monster taking control?" He said in a spooky voice, and raised his hands making scary noises, obviously playing.
Donny smiled glad to play with his mate "Oh no! I think I'm changing" said donny joking back, fake roaring before chasing Mikey around.
Mikey made a playfull scream and ran away in a cirle with his hands in the air. "Oh no, he tried to eat my leg again!" He yelled still playing, and the two ran around as Leo and Raph watched. Unseen by all four, they were being watched as they played,
The brothers suddenly tensed from their play looking around, before they drew their weapons.
The figures walked forward in bowing toward the turtles looked at each other confused before Leo bowed back guessing. His other three brothers bowed as well.
"Leo, if it comes to it, only fight if you have to." Donny said concerned as they straightened again. Leo nodded, he'd rather not risk the baby's life, the other ninja chose that moment to attack the turtles.
Leo threw two stars at the one that came at him, but was forced to quickly draw one of his katanas, and block the tonfa comming at him. He strained against his attacker. The other three turtles took the defensive and leaped over theirs, landing in crouches.
Leo tried to sheild his belly the best he could, being pushed back a few feet. He amanaged to force the attacker back enough that he could leap onto the ledge behind him, and drew the other katana.
"Who the shell are these guys?" Raph asked as he got up, growling.
"No idea." Said Mikey trying to knock the guy attacking him back.
"They don't look like the foot." Don said.
"Well one thing for sure they know how fight." Said Mikey wincing as he recived a nice blow to the shoulder.
Raph squared off with his, and the attacker managed to disarm one of his sais. Raph hrred at him, and looked confused at the attacker bowed. Raph slowly backed up and retrieved his weapon. "They sure don't fight like foot either."
Mikey dodged another blow to his shoulder throwing a punch to the guys gut reciving a unpleasent senation of bone meeting wood.
"Ow!" Mikey cried. Don glanced at his mate, but had to look away intime to block an attack from above by his attacker. Mikey shook his hand a moment before jumping away from a side swing.
He flipped up to the roof of a small stairway building, and showed off with his 'chucks. The guy jumped after Mikey on the small stairway throwing a few punches at mikey.
Mikey yelped and jumped back. Leo meanwhile kept fighting with his oponent protecting his belly at all times. He jumped up after another block, and came slashing down, burying one of his blades into what he thought was the guys head.
The guy stopped battling pulling the blade from his head holding it in his hands bowing to Leo. Leo blinked and backed up in shock.
"Uh, th-they're made of wood!" He announced in amazement. He hesitnatly took his sword before backing up holding up a defensive posture
The attacker quickly drew it's tonfa again, and attacked. It managed to land a kick to Leo's chest and sent him flying back, the turle just managing to catch himself before he went down on his stomach.
Leo sat on all fours and glanced over at one of his brothers, before he got up and charged at his attacker, but the attacker dodged and slammed down on his shell, sending Leo down again with a yell, barely catching himself as he tried to get up again.
The attacker landed one last blow that sent Leo tumbling off the ledge, and landing on his shell unconcious on the roof.
"LEO!" shouted raph distracted from his attacker. Raph's attacker launched at him. A tonfa connected with Raph's head knocking him out.
"Raph! No!" Donny shouted just before he was attacked, and slammed down onto his chest unconcious. Mikey fought harder trying to stay awake to protect his brothers. He unfortuantly was kicked back onto his shell, and knocked unconcious.
Each one of the guys picked up the turtle they had fought slinging them over their shoulders. As well as picked up their weapons and carried them off into the night.
----------
Raph blinked and quickly looked around seeing his brothers and his mate, and was relieved to see Leo waking up as well on his back.
Leo looked around seeing raph "Raph?" he said softly momentrarily confused before it came back to him He rolled over to his side, and eventually up on his hands and knees, getting a helpful arm from Mikey to get up. He looked around again. "Where are we?" He asked confused.
"No idea, I just woke up" said raph looking around the room. He walked over to the door to the room.
"Where ever we are." He said gruffly and banged on the door a couple of times. "We're locked in." He added, and drew back to hit it again, but is shocked when it clicks and opens. "Huh?"
They walked out of the room into the hallway, seeing there weapons floating in a blue force field.
"This just keeps getting weirder and weirder." Leo said. Raph stepped toward the wall.
"Weird or not, I'm getting my gear." He said, and grabbed the handles of his sais, pulling them off the wall. Donny followed suit grabbing his bo staff, Leo pulled his katana's from the wall, Mikey pulled off his nunchucks.
"Um, if we have all of our weapons, then who's weapons are those?" Leo asked and pointed at weapons on another well. As if on cue two doors down from the room they were in a door opened.
"Um, maybe theirs?" Mikey suggested, as they watched four humans emerge from 4 seperate cells, each one giving them bad looks. The guys got into defensive positions, and drew their weapons are the humans retrieved their own.
"Are you the ones who brought us here?" Said the woman holding her weapon at ready.
"Hey goldie locks, we haven't a clue as to what you're talking about." Raph replied.
"Who sent you?" One of the men asked.
"We weren't sent by anybody." Don replied.
"Some wooden manequin guys with tonfa knocked the snot out of us and we woke up here!" Mikey said. The woman eyed them warily, not to sure wether to trust these whatever they were.
The woman gave a nod and they all straightend up, the turtles relaxed as well. "Who are you?" One man asked. "What are you?" The woman asked.
"Thats kinda of a long story.." Said Leo "We're ninjas." Grunted Raph still wary about these guys and girl, "And turtles" added donny "Ninja turtles" said mikey a smile on his lips, "I'm Leo" said "Thats Raph," he said pointing at his mate "Thats Donny" he said. "And that's Mikey"
The woman nodded. ""Greetings Leonardo, I am Joy." "Adam." The big guy answered. "Farachi" The black man said. "Torra." The last man responded. "We were abducted too."
"We're going to see what's going on here, you can follow us if you like." Said Leo
He then turned with his bros and headed down the hall, the humans shrugging and following as well. Leo suddenly groaned softly and put a hand on his stomach, stopping for a minute.
"What's wrong Leo?" Asked Raph stopping by his mate. Leo closed his eyes for a minute, Don and Mikey stopping to look worried as well. He reopened his eyes. "I think I'm ok, he just decided to remind me he's still there." He replied, atleast that's what he hoped it was as he straightened again. "Lets go." The others nodded, Raph watched his mate worriedly, and walked next to him protectively.
Leo walked on, the pain subsiding for the moment as his mind went back to the task at hand. They found a door, and opened it, stepping into a dark blue tinged room that seemed to not have anymore doors.
"It looks like there are no doors" said Adam looking around, Torra looked back "and it looks like the door we came through is gone also"
Everybody blinked and looked back as well. "Ok, I am not enjoying this whole haunted house motif." Mikey said. "I want a door and I want it now! Please!' A large door suddnely appeared before them
"This is like some kind of fun house." Adam said as they turned again to face the new door.
"Yeah, without any of the fun." Mikey added. Raph glanced at Mikey and then walked toward the door.
"Well lets find out who's running this freak show and file a complaint." He said, and started to push on the door, Mikey and Don helping, they managed to get the door open and walked on into the room beyond.
The next room was a large throne room four thrones of diffrent colors sat inside and a bunch of wooden guys stood imobile higher up on archs "Hey Leo, check it out." Raph said, as they looked at the wooden guys. "Stay on your guard, be ready." Leo warned as they moved toward the darkened throne area.
They walked toward the area before it lit up showing four figures in shredder style helments with diffrent colors.
"Bow when you enter this sanctuary." A voice boomed.
"What the shell!" Raph yelled, drawing his sais. "Four shredders!"
"This doesn't look good." Don said weapon drawn as well.
"Yeah, we could barely handle one shredder." Mikey said.
"Stand your ground. Be ready." Leo said. Joy, Faranchi, Adam and Torra pulled there weapons at ready, Raph eyed the shredders less than pleased to see more than one.
"Silence!" One of the Shredders said. "We are the ninja tribunal, prepare to be judged."
"There is a great evil comming." "And as pathetic as you are, you eight are our best hope."
"What if we don't feel like being judged?" growled raph "You will fight each other, and the ones laft standing will becoming out accolites."
"You want us to fight each other?" Leo asked. "Forget it bucket heads!" Raph called.
"You will fight, or you still be destroyed." A shredder said, and turned his head as the wooden guys jumped down. They croweded around the group of eight ciricling them there weapons out ready to kill the eight.
"Fight, be judged."
Donny stood in front of Adam reluctant to fight, but if he wanted to get away from this place he had to fight him, he held his bo staff in battle stance
Leo clashed swords with Farachi, and then pushed the blade aside. "This is crazy." "I agree, I have no wish to fight you." Farachi said.
The others agreeded they rather not fight each other,
"Then if we're all agreed, lets kick some shell!" said Leo, they all charged at the tribunal members, several wooden guys jumped in front of the tirbunal members blocking the attacks.
"Not these guys again!" Mikey said as the eight moved so they could sort of cover each others back as the men surrounding them.
"I don't know about you Mikey, but I welcome a rematch, I got a score to settle with these walking treetrunks." Raph said. Raph took out a few he and joy back to back both of them taking out quiet a few of the log guys,
Leo went to attack one, and he suddenly sound himself grabgbed by two of them as they restrained him. "Hey! Let me go!" He struggled to get out of there grasps, he hated not being able to aid in battle.
The two held on to him formly but otherwise did nothing to him. Raph caught this. "Hey! What the shell are you doing to him!" Raph was going to attack the wooden guys who held his mate only being blocked by more wooden men.
He tried to fight them off but got knocked down along with Joy. It seemed after awhile the others were knocked down as the one of the tribunal members shouted "You have been judged!" Leo blinked and looked toward the tribunal along with everybody else.
"Your skills are limited and you are weak," said one "But since you all we had, you will do"
"You will be trained in the most secret techniques of ninjitsu arts, the training will be hard, the weak will be seperated from the strong."
"Now go up" said one as a stairway suddnely appeared leading up to a hole in the roof. "And reflect on all that you have seen and heard thus far."
The wooden men let go of leo with a small push as the other got up heading for the stairs wary. Leo erked as he was pushed. He caught himself before falling raph coming to his side walking with his mate glaring at the wooden men and the tribunal.
"I'm not liking this, not liking this one bit." Raph said as he and Leo started up the stairs after the others.
Leo nodded "This is werid to say the least"
They stepped out into what seemed like a village. Leo managed to stand without Raph's help by then. "Let's find outwhat this place is." He said, headed toward what looked like the end of the place.
The others stood there looking at something, when Leo got there he saw what they were looking at.
"Whoa!" Raph shouted along with others. "We're in the middle of the ocean."
"Well looks like were far away from home now" Said Mikey pointing out an upcoming peice of land.
"That sure as shell aint New York." Raph said.
"Where are we?" Farachi asked.
"My friends." Joy said. "Welcome, to Japan."
