LEO'S POV

My brothers and I are chasing the Purple Dragons. Again. We have information that they are looking for an old friend of theres. A really valuable friend. We've been following there every move for a week now (with the help from April, Lea* and Rose*). We got information yesterday that their friend was going to go to the abandoned cookie factory on fifth, so we're waiting for him.

"Leo, get this," Donnie came up beside me. He was carrying his computer. We had captured a former Purple Dragon a few days ago. He had proven to be a very useful. We let him go, of course (after placing a tacking system on him),"The friend they are trying to find, he was apparently the head of the Purple Dragons during their most recent glory days-"

"You mean a year ago." Raph said from somewhere in the back. "And their 'glory days' only lasted a month. They went back to being losers when he left."

"Which is exactly why we need to find him before they do." I said without looking back. If the Purple Dragons had once again had this 'friend' of theirs, they would be unstoppable. But I guess that was because he hired better fighters and ditched the original guys. But they didn't stick around when he left. And without a sense of direction, the original went back to being the bottom of the food chain. Thats why they were trying to find Him again. Last time we almost died.

"But dude, how are we gonna find someone who we've never seen?" Mikey asked from behind.

It was a valid question. We've never actually seen him. From the time He became the leader of the Purple Dragons from the day he left, he never showed his face. He always had someone else do the work for him. We have only heard his voice. He had a deep voice, raspy and low. Sort of like a growl. He sounded so confident and in charge, it made me want to follow his orders as well. It was so hypnotic, his voice, that we would some times find our selves fighting against one another to his order. It was scary to even think about it.

"Come on losers…," that voice got me out of my trance. I looked down to see two Purple Dragons. They were hiding behind a bench. It looked as if they were waiting for something…..

"Here He comes," I whispered. We all took out our weapons and got ready to pounce. For a minute nothing happened, then we heard foot steps. I tensed up and started to remember everything I had studied about our opponent, which was nothing. This guy was impossible to trace. He left no clue or evidence he had ever even been there. Not even his followers could tell us where he went.

The foot steps got close. I was ready to pounce. The two Purple Dragons took out a knife and a pipe. Then we saw what looked like a teenage boy, about our age, maybe younger, in all black, walk by. I stood up. There had to be a mistake. This could not me the leader of the Purple Dragons. He was so skinny. He didn't seem to have any muscle. He wasn't menacing or even intimidating in any way. I was about to tell the guys to fall back….. But that was before the Purple Dragons jumped him.

"Come on!" We jumped into action. We took the fire escape as our way down. We landed exactly behind the fight, so we were undetected for a minute or so. Since I was in front, I could hear what they said. "Long time, no see Alex."

Thats when he turned around. Even when he turned around, we could only see half for his face. His eyes were hidden behind his hoody.

"So your name's 'Alex'?" Raph blurted out. That made the two Purple Dragons turn around. I swear, I will never get tired of seeing there startled faces when they see us. They went completely pale with fear. And then after a few seconds, it turned to pure rage (with just a hint of hesitation). The guy on the right was skinny and held a butcher's knife. The one the left was big and muscular and had a pipe in hand. The big one came at us while the wimpy on went for Alex.

Raph stepped in front of me and blocked the pipe. I side-stepped and jumped in the direction were I last saw Alex. What I saw stopped me in my tacks. Alex was dodging the wanna-be butcher's attacks with ease. But that wasn't what stopped me. It was what she said.

"Come on, you can do better then that!" When he swung at his torso.

"You call that an attack?" At a swing to the head.

If his plan was to get the poor guy angry, then it worked. The butcher was now swinging his knife wildly. Alex kept dogging with ease. "You know, for someone that carries around a butcher's knife, I would think you would know how to use it." He rolled behind him and kicked him in the back.

"You know, Leo," said Raph from behind, "he's almost as smug as you."

"But did you notice his voice?" Donnie walked beside me. "It's so…. high pitch."

"Dudes, weren't we supposed to, you know, catch him?" Mikey asked.

"What?" I wasn't listening to them. I had just witnessed Alex fight for the first time. And I must say, he's pretty good. If only he weren't the enemy, maybe he could teach me how to fight like that. He had left the guy unconscious on the pavement and was looking down at him, like how an animal looks at its prey before it eats it. As I looked at him, he snapped his head up to see me. He smirked. I wish I could see his eyes. Sansei says those are the gate ways to the soul. If I could look into them, maybe I could figure if there was good inside him or not.

As if reading my thought, he started to walk towards us. He carried himself with such confidence that it sent a shiver down my spin. I pulled out my blades. "You're coming with us."

"Oh? And why would I do that?" He was now standing a mere foot from us.

"Dude you don't have a choice," said Mikey.

"You can run, but we'll catch you" threatened Raph.

"Its either us, or the cops," said Donnie. He pointed towards the sound of police cars coming.

I looked down at his leg. His black pans were soaking with blood. He must of missed a swing and got cut on both legs. I hadn't even noticed it. "Come on, we can help you." I walked towards him. He didn't look at me, but nodded his head as a response. I put my blades away and put and arm under him. I motioned Mikey to come help me. Which I didn't really need. He was really light. We both ran toward a man cover, opened it and helped Alex down it. When we were down there, I got a full view of his leg. His pans leg was so soaked in blood, it was starting to drip. I started to worry if the blood had dripped a path to the man cover, so I went back up the latter to check.

"You guys go ahead, I'll meet you back in the lair." I said.

Raph nodded and led the guys to the lair. I climbed up the latter and wiped some droplets of blood leading towards the man cover.
