11:00 PM
New York City
The night cold and slightly damp. The city street lights shinning through the darkness. The Turtles stood on top of an apartment complex. They soon grabbed their weapons, split and backed away from each other, facing off in one big circle.
"Go!" Yelled Leonardo
With that order the others each began to attack Leo one by one. Raphael
threw a sai at Leo's head and it was easily knocked away by a katana.
Donatello soon came to attack and swung his staff, but Leo blocked the
weapon and sent his brother to the ground with a well placed kick!
Michelangelo came next with his nun-chucks, but it took only a few kicks for
Mikey to be thrown straight toward Don! Raph gripped his other sai and
came at his brother, slashing and stabbing. Their blades clanged harder
and harder until they soon fell from both brothers and their battle
went from weapons to fists.
The two of them were able to get a few punches and kicks to connect
with the other. Moments later Leo decided to finish it, he threw a kick to
Ralph's stomach and then landed an upper cut while his brother had the
wind knocked out of him. This sent Raph into the air and crashing hard
on the rooftop! Raph got up and dusted himself off as Leo walked over
to him and extended a hand, but Raph just pushed it away and glared at
his brother.
"Well…. that's enough sparring for one night." said Leo
"I don't know about you dudes, but I could go for some deep dish action." said Mikey
"Yeah, I'm hungry too…let's head home." said Don
It only took a few seconds for the four to pick up their respective
weapon and put them back in their normal resting places before leaving the
roof. They looked down at the streets below for only a moment before running off into the darkness. Jumping, flipping and sliding off wires from building to building. There came a cry from the darkness and they stopped, looking down.
"Help!!!" A female voice cried out
Down below the streets, a gang of thugs was chasing a young woman, a grin came across Raph's face.
"Looks like we get to see if our work out paid off…" said Raphael, clenching onto his sais.
On the ground the woman was running as fast as she could to get away
from the gang. She soon came to an alleyway and tried to use it to
escape, unfortunately it was a dead end. The group of thug surrounded her
within moment, the men grabbed her arms and legs as they pinned her to the
ground. She tried to cry out for help once again, but one of the thugs
pulled a cloth from his pocket and tied it around her mouth to prevent
that.
Soon one of the men ripped off her shirt as tears ran down the woman's
face. The thug was about to go further when they heard odd noise. The
men all looked around until they came to a very dark area of the alley
and one by one the Turtles appeared from the shadow.
"You scumbags couldn't find a date so you resort to this. I'm
very disappointed at what I see." said Leo as he unsheathed of his
Katana
The gang quickly forgot about the woman as they released the woman and
pulled out their guns. The woman was too scared to stand up as to
crawled behind a trash bin to hid and clutch the remains of her shirt to her
chest. One by one the groups fought it out.
The thugs tried shoot the strange green men, but the turtles speed was
too quick for them to aim and the shots all missed. The turtles used
that speed to get close to the men pummeled the gang until they heard
pitiful pleas of mercy. One of the men was able to get clear to aim and
clicked back the hammer as he prepared to shoot Raph, lucky for the
turtle the bullet just grazed his shoulder and scraped the egde of his
shell. Raph kicked his current opponent to the side and rushed over to the
man that tried to shoot him. With one stab his sai went through the
gunman's hand and the ninja dropped his other sai as he threw the man to
the ground. The red wearing turtle started to wail on him and kept
punching until the thug was bleeding, though the man was lucky he couldn't
feel the pain now that he was unconscious. Mikey looked over at his
brother and ran to stop him.
"Dude…that's enough!" said the brother "He's out…let him go!"
Raph pushed him away and continued, Then Leo soon came over and jabbed a left hook to the back of Raph's head. Raph loosened his grip, gasping for air. Everyone of the thugs had been beaten down. Don looked around and went over to trash bin with his brothers.
"You alright there miss?" asked Don.
She nodded in awe and disbelief at the sight of her rescuers.
"It's ok, you're safe now." Said Leo
"Yeah…we got em but good!" said Mikey. "They had guns but nothing like these guns!"
The other three brothers just sighed and shook their heads as they
watch Mike flexing his arm. Just as Leo was helping
the woman up there came a noise, the sound of police sirens. The woman
turned her head to the approaching sirens and when she turned back to
her rescuers she discovered that she was alone with the beaten men
scattered around the alley. Headlights flashed into the alleyway as the
officers got out of the vehicle to look around. Meanwhile the turtles
looked
down from the roof of a building as the cops arrested the unconscious
men.
"Impressive." said a voice.
They all turned around with weapons still in hand to see a man hopping
down from a roof hut behind them, clothed in a tall black cloak with
red clouds. His hair was long, black and tied in a ponytail. Around his
head was a blue cloth with a metal band and a leaf with a spiral in the
center engraved in the metal, but there was a long slash mark running
across the leaf.
"You fight well…You 4 have trained deep in Ninjitsu" Said the man. "Obviously the legend of the 4 demons was true."
The 4 brothers looked at each other and back the cloaked stranger. It was hard to decide he was friend or foe.
"He doesn't look like one of the Foot." said Mikey.
"Just who the hell are you?" Raph grunted.
"My name is Uchiha Itachi." Said the man. "You should remember it."
Without hesitation Raph darted towards Itachi, his sais held tight in his grip. But before he could even get a swipe in, Itachi easily countered and knocked Raph hard to the ground. That gave the turtles their answer. Itachi closed his eyes for a second and soon they were no longer black but a blood red with a weird black design.
"Attack as one!" Leo commanded his other brothers.
They all were moving fast from different angles, but then Itachi
extended his hands from his cloak to reveal Kunai knife in each hand. When
the small blades he blocked both Leo and Don's weapons! Mikey ran in to
try and kick, but was knocked back with a foot to the chin while he
continued to hold back the other two turtles! The enemy soon did a 360 and
kicked both brothers back a few feet.
Raph got back up and swiped at him with his sais. The metal from their
weapons clanged and sparked a bit, Raph threw in a kick and Itachi
simply ducked and stabbed Raph in the shoulder and send him back with a
right hook! Raph shook his head, his vision was blurry when he looked back
at Itachi as their eyes synced with each others. Seconds later Raph
looked around to see that everything looked like a camera's negative and
he tired bring his hands to rub his eyes, but he soon discovered that
his arms and legs were tied down on a cross. Itachi was now multiplied by
thousands, each of them holding a katana.
"Let me out of this!" snapped Raph.
"Everything you see is under my control." said Itachi," For the next 72 hours you shall be continuously stabbed."
Then from all directions came the blades, digging in deep to the exposed turtles flesh. Blood gushing from the wounds, Raph cried out in pain, but none of his brothers were in sight and with only a flash, he was brought back to the rooftop, he collapsed from the pain and was hyperventilating. Leo and Mikey rushed over to help their brother.
"What have you done to him you son of bitch?!" yelled Leo
"Tsukuyomi" Itachi replied "I tortured him for what seemed like 72 hours in only 3 minutes,only done by somebody who posses the Sharrigan"
The came a loud clap of thunder, the wind started to pick up.
"I won't kill you this time." said Itachi," But if we meet again, don't expect mercy".
And just like that, he vanished into the darkness. The Turtles gathered themselves up and headed down to a manhole cover, one by one jumping in.
Author: Chapter 2 shall be up, I want to give a special thank you to Shadow B Panter for giving me a helping hand in this project.
