There is a time where you can't stop.

Your nerves may play on your mind...

You breaths may become raspy...

Your hands could start to shake...

Your knees could become weak...

Though, despite all this, you keep going. You power through. You keep fighting till the end.

Splinter always used to tell me and my bro's that we would never totally understand how passionate we are about ninjitsu until you are in this quivering state and I must admit I never really listened to him. I am Mikey after all. It is not my job to listen to my skilled, sometimes scary, rat father. That is what Leo, Raph and Donnie are for.

Now though, they are not here. I am alone. Well... they are here but on the floor, unconscious and covered in blood. I can't rely on them to protect me anymore. Instead, I must protect them. I must save them. I must kill the enemy.

I ready my nunchucks and the enemy does the same. My heart pounds inside my chest, battering against my rib cage. I leap. My nunchucks whirl around in my hands as I land, in my opinion gracefully, on my two feet behind the unknown enemy. This enemy was one we had never faced before and was very skilled.

The enemy, unaware I was behind him, glanced around with a confused look on his face. Taking in a deep breath. I repeat what my father had said to me in my head.

Though, despite all this, you keep going. You power through. You keep fighting till the end.

I leap forward and grab the man by the shoulders.

You keep going...

I wrap the chain around his neck.

You power through...

I pull back.

Till the end...
