The rain was thundering down terribly, those with a keen eye would have seen the silhouette of four bulky figures on the rooftop of the apartment block, visible only by the lightning that would flash around them. One would think that they were misplaced gargoyles reserved for churches and the like.
But these were no gargoyles, but like the gargoyle they were protectors from evil, tonight was no exception.
Leonardo knelt near the edge of the rooftop, focusing intently on one of the windows of the hospital across the street. Raphael sat on the ledge to Leo's right, his back to the window and his left leg resting casually on his right knee, idly twirling a sai. Donatello knelt at his left, holding his bo horizontally across his lap. Michelangelo stood behind him swirling his chucks in figure eights. Donatello was sure that Mike's chucks were getting close to his head, he could feel the rush of air as they flew past.
"Somebody wanna remind me why we're here again?" Raphael was antsy, they'd been standing on the rooftop for four hours now, in the pouring rain, no less.
"Because Master Splinter told us to" Leonardo responded, sighing heavily. Raphael was beginning to annoy him, if he didn't stop whining, Leo was sure that they'd end up fighting, again.
"And why does he want us to watch these two girls?" Leo's shoulders slumped, he let his eyes close slowly, his head tipped down and he shook it gently.
"Contrary to popular belief, Raph. I am not privy to every little detail. You may find it difficult to believe but I know just as much as you do right now" Raph tried to respond to that but Don intervened. "Uh guys, we got movement" Leo followed Don's gaze to a group of black clad ninjas, slowly making their way down the fire escape. Don squinted his eyes to try to get a better view, "I count twelve" Leo nodded, "Me too" Raph pulled his other sai from his belt and stood, "Alright, now we get to have some fun" Mike looked to Leo. "What's the plan, bro'?" Leo stood, he didn't turn but kept looking to the window. "Hit 'em hard and fast. Don, you and Raph take the roof. Mike you're with me. Stay in the shadows, the last thing we need is to be seen by hospital workers and patients" Don and Raph nodded to each other and headed off for the hospital roof, Leo and Mike jumped for the fire escape.
Everything seemed to go in slow motion, four ninja were still on the fire escape, three, had made it into the hospital room already. The remaining five was on the roof, where Raph and Don had now presumably engaged them. Leo watched as a forth ninja headed through the window, he grabbed the ninja around the neck and hauled him back out, he kneed him in the stomach then punched him in the temple, letting him drop. He glanced to Mike to see him holding one ninja in a headlock whilst fending off the other with a heavy kick to his stomach, then, finishing him off with a kick to the side of his head. He gave his captive a chance, releasing him. The ninja came in for the attack, Mike smiled then winked, angering the ninja further.
Raphael yelled a war cry as he dived into the fray. He decided to take the three on the left, leaving Don with the remaining two. He knew Don wouldn't mind. He easily disarmed the first ninja carrying a katana. If he could disarm Leo on a good day, or on one of Leo's bad days, he sure as hell could disarm this guy. Then he swung around, giving the ninja behind him an elbow in the face. He heard the distinctive sound of a bone breaking. It only added fuel to Raph's fire.
Donatello swung his bo at his first opponent's head, the ninja ducked. Don smiled, that's just what he wanted. He quickly dropped and swung his leg, taking the ninja's feet out from beneath him. He dropped to the floor and Don quickly slammed the end of his bo into his face. "One down one to go, how you doing, Raph?" He turned quickly, to see Raph taking the hilt of his sai to his second opponent's head. He looked up at his brother, "Why, you need help?" he replied jokingly. "Har de har"
Leo ducked quickly as the katana swiped close to his head. He punched the ninja hard in the stomach and brought his head up quickly, smacking the ninja's chin. He spun around at the sound of a woman's scream. "Mike, we gotta get in there" "On it" Mike flew through the window with Leo right behind him.
Raphael slapped Donatello hard on his shell. "Well that was easy" Don nodded "Hmm, they seemed a little....amateur" "I'll say" They were interrupted by a loud scream. Raph shook his head, "Man, someone's got a serious set of lungs" They jumped from the roof and headed down the fire escape, "Yeah, but I don't think we were the only ones to hear that. Security are bound to be heading for that room by now" Don replied. As they neared the window, Mike came quickly through. "Hey guys, we could use a hand" Leo suddenly appeared carrying a brunette in hospital patient attire. "Donny, go grab the doctor, we can't leave her here" Don nodded and climbed through the window "And why can't we?" Raph asked. "Because she got a good look of two giant mutated turtles and we can't hang around here to wait and find out if we can trust her or not" "Good point" Mike half stepped in to the room, "Here, give me your hand" Raph gaped at the woman Mike was helping through the window, she was a spitting image of the woman in Leo's arms. He looked to Leo and mouthed 'twins' Leo simply nodded. As Don made his way out of the window, Leo looked about, after he was certain the coast was clear, he spoke, "Let's get home" They dropped silently to the ground below and made their way to the nearest manhole cover, "Am I the only one who thinks that we are gonna be in serious trouble when we get home?" Raph rested his hand on Mike's shoulder "No Mikey, you're not the only one"
