A Hero Who Cares
Chapter 1: The Confrontation
"Akira hold on!" cried Leo, running towards Akira. "I'm trying!" yelled Akira trying to readjust her grip on the building. The rain wasn't helping any and she had lost feeling in her fingers. Leonardo was running towards Akira when out of nowhere the Shredder appeared. "You want the girl, you have to go through me." Leonardo looked behind the Shredder and saw Akira struggling. He pulled out his katanas and frowned. The Shredder raised his claws and smiled. "The girl will be your undoing!" he cried charging Leo. Akira watched as Leonardo and the Shredder dished it out in an all out fight. She pushed her chest onto the top of the building and readjusting her grip. Meanwhile the Shredder and Leonardo continued their life or death struggle. Leo was on the receiving end of the Shredder's blows. He dodged and weaved and tried to get closer to Akira. But the Shredder knew what Leo was trying to do and managed to keep him at bay. Leonardo knew Akira couldn't hold on much longer and made a mad dash to try and reach her. He ran as fast as he could and just as Akira lost her grip and would have fallen to her death, he managed to grab her hand. "I got you Akira!" he said pulling Akira to safety on the roof. Akira and Leo sat there catching their breath. When Akira went to thank Leonardo, a look of terror came across her face. The Shredder was coming up behind Leo with his claws raised. Akira tried to warn him but she was frozen with fear. Leo gave Akira a confused look but that look was replaced with a look of pain as the Shredder brought the claws down on the side of Leo's neck. He then dragged them all the way down to Leo's side. "Leo!" cried Akira as he fell into her arms. Lightning danced across the sky and the Shredder raised his claws to strike Akira.
