The sparkle of white in the full moon caught his eye it paced on a building, watching the city below, from his vantage point it appeared to be a great cat of some kind. He moved closer to get a better view; it looked straight in his direction and it's icy blue eye caught his own, Raphael froze in his trek across the roof tops searching for any clue as to the whereabouts of his father. It's ears twitched in his direction be fore it turned and rapidly disappeared into the penthouse of the building before him. Here moved closer normally he wasn't one to be curious about such things but what if this thing was a danger to whomever resided in this penthouse. As he got closer he saw a girl come out with the great cat she was about 16, dressed in a kimono and the cat seemed to bounce be hind her like a child following it's mother he growled to himself. As quick as he did he wished he hadn't , it turned and trotted over his direction. He was now face to face with the large female white tiger in a pounce position.
" Asia come away from the edge." the girl's voice was soft,but firm as the tiger looked back toward her; Raph took his chance and slid down the drainage pipes to the ally below and looked back up at the tiger who roared down at him.
" Well that was a little close." he sighed, "Who in their right mind would keep tigers as pets." he shook his head as he continued on. Everything seemed to be a blur as he continued on one road to the next perhaps that is why he was caught off guard by the two mutant thugs in front of him a warthog and a rhino from the look of it, but what he saw on their left front uniform breast is what really drove him over the edge, the symbol of the Foot.
Raph twitched his hands and brought up his sai Pair. " What do you freaks want, I'm busy."
" Lookie here Rocksteady, the freaks callin us freaks. Whata we wanna do about it?" The warthog stood there in very Leo-like fashion with his arms crossed, a smug smile on his face. The rhino smirked as well and pulled out a Krangg weapon and aiming it at raph. " Boss said he wanted him alive not unharmed,unlike the shaman from a week ago." Rocksteady began to fire the weapon in Raph's general direction.
" Aww shell!" Raph dodged every shot fire and landed his sai in the barrel of the weapon causing it to blow up in Rocksteady's hands. Giving Raph a momentary breather before the warthog charged Raphael's direction which he easily avoided while he kicked the warthog over into a nearby dumpster. He didn't have time breath this time as he was rammed in the back by the rhino. Raphael managed to escape the rhino's grip before he was slammed into the wall.
Raph laughed at the two thugs. Laying her in a heap. " You two are pathetic." He holstered his sai and walked away. Unaware he was being followed silently from above by something else something hidden, something far more dangerous that the two thugs he's just faced.
Jackson Drake ex military sharpshooter turned assassin, followed the turtle, at his max range for a death shot. Raph stopped and looked around he had an eerie feeling he was being watched but he saw nothing, his stop was all of three maybe four seconds but it was a perfect time and target for the assassin to strike, a single shot flew at Raphael, and met it's mark centered in the crack in his plastron.
It took very little time for the turtle to fall, as his eyes closed he saw a purple chameleon drop from the rooftop and sling his bow over his back, taking the mask from Raph's face; his world went black.
