"Alright boys! We need to find April! Mikey and Don: you search the East side of the city while Raph and I search the West side. When you're done meet us back here," Leo said in the best leader voice he could muster. "Stay safe and leave your shell cells on at all times." With those words, the two groups parted, one to the left, one to the right.
"Where to first bro?" Mikey asked, probably a little too enthusiastically to be on a mission to rescue his friend from possible life threatening danger.
Donnie thought for a moment. "How about we check around some of the warehouses on the dock first?"
"Sure!"
"Why is he always so happy?" Donnie thought to himself. "Eh... I guess it's just another one of those unexplainable things in life." The genius watched Mikey sprint ahead joyfully. Shaking the random thoughts from his head, Donnie picked up the pace and pulled up beside his brother.
Soon enough the two teens caught sight of the giant warehouses piled at the edge of the harbor.
Donnie crouched down and whispered to Mikey, "We need to do this strategically so that would mean we need to start with the one nearest us and spread out from there. Got it?
Don't forget to alert me of anything suspicious."
"You sound just like Leo," came the answering whine that Donnie took as agreement to his plan. Moving as one, the turtles silently crept down to the back of the first wooden structure.
The turtles smashed a low lying window and entered the building with caution. Quiet as snakes, the two amphibious teens searched the warehouse but, excluding a few empty crates, the storage area admitted no one and nothing. After only a few minutes, the boys decided to move on to the next building.
When they reached the entrance, Mikey broke the lock with his nunchaku. He pulled the door open, barely an inch, and slipped inside with Don hot on his heels. Without a word, the ninja slunk down the hallway. Not long after, the boys heard the roar of a large crowd in the distance.
"Humans!" they thought instantly. Donnie leaned over to Mikey and whispered in his ear slit, "Let's go back a bit. I'm going to call Raph and Leo for reinforcements."
Mikey nodded and they walked to the entrance.
"You keep watch," Donnie said as he pressed buttons on his shell cell.
Five minutes later and Leo nor Raph had answered their phones.
Donnie groaned and looked down. "Those two," he said and sighed.
Mikey held up a placating hand. "It's okay. Let's just go in there ourselves. We can take them."
Donnie looked doubtful. "Are you sure that's a good idea?"
"Of course I do!" Mikey said, completely confident.
"Well." Donnie paused. "I guess that's okay."
Mikey grinned and swung an arm across his brother's shoulder. "Stick with me bro and we'll be fine."
Donnie and Mikey crept back down the hallway leading to the cavernous room that occupied the entire population of the brutal gang known as the Purple Dragons. The Purple Dragons are big, buff and easy enough to spot with the giant dragon tattoo branding every single ones' skin.
"Is that suspicious enough for you Don?"
April squirmed in the suffocating hold of the rope tied around her midsection. The rope that hung her from the walkways barely even shuddered. The girl tried to work her arms free, but no such luck was bestowed.
Below her April could see the large crowd filled with ugly, stupid punks.
April sighed and listened to Hun addressing his "people". "Like they could even be classified as people," she muttered bitterly under her breath.
"And so, by capturing this girl," Hun said, flinging an arm up to point at April accusingly. "We will draw the turtles here and finally be rid of those green freaks." The crowd screamed its approval and stomped its feet.
Not one to give up, April scanned the room to find anything that could help her escape. A snatch of green flashed in the corner of her eye and her head snapped around. Her eyes widened and April gasped softly, only just able to contain her surprise at spotting Mikey and Donnie standing in the doorway of the room.
The boys raised their fingers to their lips, signaling April to keep quiet as they hugged the wall and inched their way around the edge of the room. Mikey and Don stepped along with their backs to the wall until they reached a ladder built to reach the scaffolding April dangled from. They crept up the ladder and ran to April. With Mikey holding on to the rope, Donnie untied the bulky knot. The boys pulled April up and soon enough she was standing next to them on the walkways high above.
Together they slinked to the ladder and climbed down. Unfortunately, just as they reached the bottom, a Dragon spotted them and screamed, "The turtles are here! I see them! They're rescuing the girl!"
Not caring about stealth anymore, the turtles and April ran for the door, but were blocked by a sea of thugs. Immediately Donnie, Mikey and April rushed the crowd. Before any of the brutes could recover from the sudden movement the small band of heroes were upon them.
"April! Go!" Donnie yelled as he took down gang members left and right.
Finally, after at least half an hour of intense fighting, the girl and turtles made it to the exit. The teens stood in a half circle with their backs to the door, fending off punks.
"Yeah! We got them!" Mikey said, panting slightly, but still going strong.
"Is there even a chance of getting you guys to change your minds?" April asked.
"No!" the boys yelled in unison. April didn't answer; instead she turned for the door, trusting the boys to watch her back. Just as April shut the door into the small ally, she heard a boom come from behind her. Instantaneously, a force pushed her from behind and April catapulted forward to hit the opposite wall. The girl let out a strangled gasp and collapsed to the ground like a Raggedy Ann doll. Unmoving.
Even after the few seconds of April being gone, Mikey and Donnie were already feeling the stress of one less fighter.
"Please be okay," Donnie silently hoped.
There was bout of shouting and an object about the size of a baseball was thrown at the boys. It rolled along the floor, almost innocently, until it exploded and everything went to hell(Tartarus). Anyone or anything within feet of the door was thrown. The turtles crashed into the wall behind them and fell to the floor, unconscious.
"Where ar' they?" Raph growled, clenching his fists. "They shoulda bin here by now!" The tough talking turtle was extremely worried about his brothers, though he'll never admit it out loud.
"Raphael. It's ok. Maybe Mikey and Don are just being slow," Leo tried to reassure his brother. But, deep down they both knew that it was a fruitless hope.
Hun grunted as he heaved his enormous bulk to his feet.
"What happened?" he roared to the few Purple Dragons that were standing.
"I think someone threw a bomb or somethin'," one of the men said, scratching his sparse brown hair.
"Where are those two turtles?" Hun asked gruffly.
"We don't know," another of the thugs answered dumbly. Hun shoved the five Dragons to the side and stormed past them, scowling.
"I'm surrounded by idiots," he grumbled to himself as he searched the room for the orange and purple turtles.
Quickly, Hun spotted the area of the blast. The walls and floor were blackened with scorch marks for at least ten feet around. But, in the middle of all the black he saw some green.
"You!" he screamed turning to point a fat finger at the Dragons he left behind. "Make yourselves useful and tie up those turtles! I think I know who would enjoy them."
"I'm goin' ta look for them! Wit' or wit'out you!" Raph screamed in Leo's face, spittle flying from his mouth.
"How about we try calling them before we start running all over the city?" Leo suggested, wiping the spit from his cheek calmly. He pulled out his shell cell and paused.
"Donnie already called me. About an hour ago," Leo said, surprised.
Raph pulled out his own phone. "Yeah. Me too."
"I'll just call him back," Leo said and held the phone up to his head. He listened to it ring and ring and ring. "Ok, I give up," Leo muttered. Leo dialed Mikey's number and attempted to make contact with his younger brothers again, but was met with the same gut wrenching result.
"Dats not good. We gotta go find 'em!" yelled Raph as he started to run in the direction Mikey and Donnie had gone those long, long hours ago.
Shredder was lounged on his throne thinking up ways to finally defeat Hamato Splinter when he heard a knock on the door.
"Enter!" he commanded in a dark voice. Hun pulled the door open and walked into the room, his head bowed.
"Yes Hun?" Shredder asked, annoyed at being interrupted.
"Master Shredder! I think I have something you would want," Hun said, boldly raising his head to look his master in the face.
"What is this thing?" Shredder asked, a bit more interested this time around.
"Actually two things," Hun said with an evil glint in his eyes. He turned and shouted at the partially open door. "Boys! Bring 'em in!" Four Purple Dragons came into sight struggling under the weight of two motionless green lumps.
"Well, well... It appears you do have something I want," Shredder purred.
"So, about my reward-"
"What reward?" Shredder stopped Hun with a leering sneer. "You will get no payment. Be lucky you're leaving with your life for your impertinence! Now go!"
Shocked and slightly afraid at the outburst, Hun and his henchmen scurried out the door, leaving the orange and purple masked turtles slumped on the floor. Shredder chuckled darkly and rubbed his hands together.
"Finally."
"Let's check the warehouses first!" Leo yelled over the rush of the wind as he and his brother sprinted across the rooftops.
After a while the two turtles reached a hill overlooking the harbor area.
"Look for anyth-"
Leo was interrupted by Raph shouting.
"What da shell happened der?" He pointed a finger at what appeared to be giant scorch marks covering part of a warehouse.
Before Leo could say a word, Raph was off and running towards the huge black marks. Leo sighed and ran after his hot headed brother.
Raph reached the site first. He stood there in awe, thinking of what possibly could have happened.
"I bet ya Donnie and Mikey were here," Raph said as he sensed Leo stopping beside him. Leo said nothing and studied the scene. Right away he noticed some red coloring on the walls near the ground. It took less than a second for the leader to realize it was blood and it took even less for him to start running towards the area.
"Wha- What's he doin''?" Raph wondered out loud before he followed his brother.
Leo gasped. Lying in the middle of an everblossoming rose of blood was the very person that had started this entire horror story. April. The redhead was a deathly pale and her eyes were shut. The only movement was her chest, moving up and down shallowly.
"April!" Leo shouted and rushed towards the girl. He gently picked her up in his arms and she moaned. She murmured something intelligible and her head lolled, dripping blood. "April. April." Slowly, but surely April's eyelids rose and unveiled cloudy green eyes.
"Leo?" She croaked.
"Yes. I'm here. Don't worry." Leo cooed softly to the injured human.
April launched into a violent coughing fit and Raph appeared beside Leo to help him support the girl as she coughed. After what seemed like forever, the coughing died down and Leo mopped up the drool that had dribbled down April's chin.
"Who did this to you?" He asked narrowing his eyes, a half baked revenge plan already formed in his head.
"I," she paused. "I don't remember."
