Th-Thump… Th-Thump… Th-Thump…
Hands on my knees, I leaned on them, gasping for air. Sweat beaded on my brow as I caught my breath. Wiping my forehead, I looked around myself. I stood on the roof of a high apartment building, trying to get my bearings. I sighed, closing my eyes as I breathed through my nose. I opened them again, before taking off.
The tails of my headband blew in the breeze as I ran from roof to roof, before I found myself in a tricky situation. Damn, forgot that there was a side street there…
My hands missed the ledge, I felt myself falling. Panic rose in my throat as I looked down, before it disappeared. I bounced off the cloth tent below me, confused shouts reached my ears before I used the momentum to flip, going back up and grab the edge. I flipped over the edge before the night owl pedestrians could come out from underneath the tall tent and see me.
It's been a good three hours since I snuck out, the moon was high in the sky before I met up with them.
They were stealing some lady's purse and robbing her of her stuff, having the girl being knocked out cold. I huffed. Making sure my face was concealed, I leaped into action.
I back flipped onto the first of the seven guys, knocking him out cold. "Hey guys, looking for something?" I smirked when they whipped around, weapons ready. I used a roundhouse kick when the first two came rushing towards me. I tsked. "Don't you know any better?" I leaped and punched another guy in the face, before kneeing him in the gut. "Stealing is bad!" They came at me.
We leaped from roof to roof, looking for something to do, or rather, looking for someone's butt to kick. A scream made us run in another direction. Raph had that kind of glint in his eye again; he's been waiting for something to happen for a while now. The past few weeks have been strange; hardly any crimes have been taking place, which just makes all of us on edge. If something big was going to happen, we needed to be prepared for it if it cannot be prevented.
Raph, being the first one to the scene, suddenly stopped before the edge of the roof, making the rest of us skid to a halt.
"What's-"
"Shh. Look." Leo kneeled by the edge, pointing at something in the alley. I and my other brother looked, eyes widening as we took in the sight. Several Dragons were in the alley, all out cold. A movement in the shadows caught my eye. I saw someone standing over a woman, shifting in the shadows as they fidgeted with the woman's wrist.
"Who the shell is that?" I heard Leo ask, to which Raph growled.
"Someone who already took out all the fun."
"Raph, wait-" Too late. Raph jumped into the alley. Leo sighed before the rest of us followed suit.
"Just what do you think you're doing?" Raph smirked, twirling his sais as he itched for a good fight.
The figure turned around, body tense when he saw us. As quick as they could, they took out a pair of tonfas out of their leg pockets, but was too slow. Raph was already charging before they could take them out completely. Raph jumped, yelling all the way with a smirk. The figure seemed to blur in that moment. Leaning low, they ran until they were almost underneath Raph. Taking out the tonfas, complete with a quick twirl, they stabbed one into Raph's stomach, then turned and delivered a swift kick to his side.
He crashed into the alley wall with a grunt, getting up with a glare.
"That was good… for a beginner."
I saw the person dressed in black get ready, going into a defense position, slowly twirling the tonfa pair. As one, they leaped at each other and started delivering blows, each one being blocked or dodged. Leo leaped into the fray, causing the black clad man stagger for a split second, blocking each of my brothers' blows, a tonfa for either of them. I looked to Mikey, shrugging with him before we ran towards our brothers to help.
We were going easy on him, but it seemed that the guy was getting a work out because before long, he was panting for breath. We managed to corner him, that's when I noticed that the woman was gone. Probably ran off when she saw four giant turtles fighting the enemy. Although, we're all the enemy to the average passerby.
Before long, their back was up against the wall before we stopped in our movements, weapons at the ready.
"Give up?" Leo asked, narrowed eyes watching the guy's every movements.
The guy wheezed for breath, taking a step forward, making us get ready for an attack. The guy put the tonfas away, back into the side leg pockets he first took them out of.
To our surprise, they back flipped; feet met the wall before they jumped over our heads, clearing a good 7 feet away from us. Before we could completely turn though, something made Mikey fall backwards with a yelp. The remainder of us looked back to the guy, only to be met with the sight of a twirling chain in one hand, a small ball at the end of the chain while a kusarigama, a small hand-held sickle, in the other hand was on the other end.
Raph rushed the guy, sais held between his fingers before he started throwing punches and kicks at the guy, the guy blocking and dodging all of them. The guy jumped back, throwing the chain with the ball on the end at him. Raph jumped back, throwing a sai at the chain the split second it was near the ground. Pinning the chain there, the guy only had a moment to tug on it in an effortless attempt at freeing the chain before Leo came out of nowhere and started attacking with his katanas.
I helped Mikey to his feet; he held his head as the wave of dizziness faded away before watching. The guy, going around in circles around his pinned down chain, kept dodging and blocking the attacks of our two oldest brothers.
"That guy's good." I nodded silently as we watched. I then looked down and noticed the end of the chain, eyes widening slightly.
"Guys-!" Too late. With a swift tug, the chain came free, along with the sai. The sai went straight at Leo as the ball crashed into Raph's plastron with a sickening crack of the chain. Leo blocked the sai but Raph was sent back before crashing his shell into the sidewalk. He groaned as Mikey and I joined the fight.
The guy noticed this, because he twirled the chain again, one end in each hand. Leo charged his left as Mikey and I charged from the right. He back flipped into the air, lashing each end of the chain to the side, hanging onto the middle. We thought nothing of it before Leo crashed into us, sending both me and Mikey to the floor as two cracks sounded out. I looked up after Leo rolled off with a groan. I couldn't contain the gasp when I saw the small sickle digging into his carapace; the ball had left a smudge on the other side of his shell.
"LEO!" Raph charged the guy again when he had landed, retrieving his other sai as he went. The guy had barely enough time to let go of the weapon and dodge one blade before getting struck by the other. He flew into the wall by the sheer power of the blow, groaning lowly as he slid to the ground. Mikey had to hold Raph back before he dealt anymore damage to the guy, who was slowly losing consciousness. I eased the sickle out of Leo's shell, luckily only the tip had managed to penetrate the hard shell, in one of the creased edges too. No blood was spilt, but how much pain Leo had faced was probably the reason for his blacking out, for he groaned quietly before opening his eyes.
Raph couldn't be held back; Mikey was slowly losing ground before Leo got up and told Raph to back down. Raph growled but Leo sent him a look before going over to the man on the ground. The guy groaned again, rubbing his head before being lifted by the front of his shirt by my blue bandana wearing brother.
"Who do you work for?" Leo glared into the man's half closed eyes as Leo held the man's body up easily. The guy answered with a punch to Leo's neck.
Leo dropped the guy, gasping for breath as the guy ran away from him, towards us. He leaped at the wall at the last second, running along on it before reaching the other side. He grabbed the rope like object that was around his torso before snapping it at us, the end hooking onto his kusarigama's chain, snapping it towards him to which he caught the handle with ease. Raph charged the guy, yelling in anger as Leo managed to recover from the blow to his jugular and went to join his brother, charging the man that took a step back while placing the chain weapon in its holster on the man's back. He took out a rondel dagger at the last second, dodging the first of many attacks from my brothers as Mikey and I rushed to join the battle again. I managed to whack the guy in the middle of his back as he jumped away from Mikey's nun-chucks, causing the man to gasp for breath, pausing in his moments as his breath was took away. Mikey hit him on the head with a swinging nun-chuck as Leo took that opportunity and slashed the man in one leg, then the side, just as Raph punched him in the gut before the guy was pushed away, flipping over my bo and landing in the middle of the street with a breathless gasp.
Leo chose the moment to close in on him, his katanas poised at ready for the bleeding man to get up.
That's when I took a good look at him. In the moonlight, I noticed that he was covered in head to toe in black. Black long sleeved shirt, even though it was warm out, long black pants, black combat boots, black fingerless gloves, and a black mask. The only thing I could see on him that wasn't black was his eyes and fingers. Black shin and arm guards shone in the moonlight, as well as his half hidden weapons. This guy was loaded with them! I saw that his skin tight pants were bulky with packed pockets, a tonfa on either side of his thigh pockets. Even the upper part of his arms had pockets, slightly bulky with small weapons. The rope like weapon was actually a rope dart, wrapped around his torso, over and under his shoulder, his kusarigama and chain were in a holster on his back, no doubt digging into his skin, and his rondel dagger laid a good yard or two away from him.
"I'll ask one more time; who do you work for?" He growled, glaring at the man staring up at him on the hard floor. The man breathed raggedly, chest heaving as he struggled to breathe. I looked over his body, trying to see what damage he had caused himself and watching as he twitched a few muscles here and there; he seemed to be checking his body too because he cried out in pain when he tried moving his left arm.
Raph walked to the other side of him and stepped on the same arm, causing the man to scream. Odd, that's a little higher than I would've thought, but Mikey screams like a girl now and then too. Also the fact that he was still struggling to breathe might add to the effect.
When the man just continued trying not to cry out in pain again, trying to get used to the pain, Raph added pressure, earning a strangled groan.
"We'll let you leave, without any more harm, if you tell us." Leo said.
"But only if we like the answer." Raph growled.
The man opened his eyes; pain clouded them as he fought not to pass out from the pain.
"Guys, he's going to pass out if you-" I tried to warn, but Raph cut me off.
"Then we'll just somehow wake him up." He smirked down at the man who caught the hidden threat. The man managed to catch his breath, but he just stared silently around at the four of us. Raph put more pressure on the guy's arm, making the man wince but stay silent.
"Too loyal to the bad guy that you'd risk your life, huh?" Leo glared as the man's eyes widened before glaring back up at him, struggling a bit. Raph lifted his foot from the arm it was on, before crashing it back down, earning us a muffled pain filled scream.
"Yeah, but loyal enough to go through all this pain? Who do you work for… the Shredder?" Raph interrerogated darkly.
Mikey must've noticed the look in the guy's eyes too because he put a hand on Leo's shoulder.
"Guys, I don't think this dude knows who the Shredder is..." Leo and Raph looked at him, before looking back down at the man again.
"Nah," Raph said after a moment of thought. "He's probably just trying to trick us." He smirked down at the guy as he leaned more onto his foot; the man squeezed his eyes shut in pain as he lay limp on the ground.
I walked over to the guy's head, kneeling beside him. I looked into his eyes when he heard me coming, trying to read them. The guy glared up at me, as I stared in confusion at the lack of actions the guy has done. I looked over his body when it hit me. Both shoulders dislocated, a cracked, if not broken, rib or two by the way his chest shook with every breath, bruising perhaps on every limb this guy has, cuts by the dozen here and there, a concussion by the way his pupils dilated differently while glaring up at me, sprained if not fractured ankle by the way he let it hang loose, a few slashes courtesy of my older brothers of course, then maybe a fractured leg by the way he stiffened it up.
This man couldn't struggle against us even if he tried.
I looked back at the guy's face before closing my eyes, shaking my head slowly.
"How'd you get the fractured leg?" I asked calmly, opening my eyes again. One of his eyes widened slightly before narrowing his eyes at me, a low growl rumbling in his throat as I got up and walked back over to Mikey.
"Guys! The Dragons woke up!" Mikey yelled, twirling his nun-chucks as he got into an attacking position. Raph got off the guy and readied his sais.
"Finally." He smirked.
Leo looked back as well, giving the guy his chance to make a move.
I looked back, only to be met with the sight of the guy standing up, holding up his right arm and throwing a small ball down.
"Smoke-" Too late, our group, and the Dragons, where hidden in the white smoke. When it cleared, the guy was gone, and the Dragons were confused as they looked at their two unconscious members, foot prints on both their faces. I looked up to the roof and saw the man back flip over it, disappearing into the dark.
Raph shrugs when he notices the disappearance of the man, then charges the Dragons, eager to fight again.
