Big Trouble Part 3
AN: You guys are going to be the death of me! XP Just like the last chapter, I am once again guilt tricked into writing a part 3. Well I'm going to give it a shot; hopefully it'll turn out as good as the other first two.
The dance was over; after several hours of dancing, chatting, and a few more kisses. The two finally decided to call it a night, and head home. Donnie knew that the city was filled with danger, and not just by the Foot, or Krang. Average citizens could be just as dangerous. He wasn't willing to take any chances. If his April got hurt, Donatello would never forgive himself?
Wait, his April? The turtle sighed shaking his head. 'This is just the first date, and already, you're acting like she's your girlfriend.' Taking a quick glance at his crush, Don couldn't help but drink in all her beauty. Her hair was a little messy, little string pieces sticking out randomly, but she still looked as gorgeous as ever. Maybe, after they go on a few dates, she'll agree to be his girlfriend.
But, wait, they kissed like a million times at the dance, if that doesn't prove they're in a relationship, he wasn't sure what did.
The ninja was snapped out of thought when his crush decided to clear her throat.
"Hey, Donnie?" She asked not sure whether she should meet his gaze or not. "I want to talk to you about earlier, in the dance."
Oh no, she was going to say something along the lines of "I really like you, but it'll never work out." Or even worse. "Those kisses didn't mean anything; they were just in the moment."
Would she really say that?
"When we kissed the first time, it felt like I was kissing… Shredder!" Donatello stared at her. "You felt like you were kissing Shredder?"
April glared at him, with the meanest look he had ever seen, before thrusting a finger up to the roof top. Donnie followed it and felt his eyes widen at the sight of their mortal enemy.
"I've been waiting for this for a long time, turtle." He chuckled in a deep, malicious, tone. Donnie urged April behind him, reaching to grab his staff. His felt went pale.
Out of all the things to forget, Donnie had to have forgotten his bo-staff? 'I must have forgotten it, while getting ready?' The turtle struggled to grab the air, but still could not feel the wooden staff he had master all his life.
"Don, what now?" April asked in a shiver, she was pretty quick on picking up that her friend was unequipped.
"D-don't worry, April, I'll think of something." He didn't dare add the words "I hope." It'll only scare her even more.
Shredder let out a loud booming laughter, the sound sent goose bumps across their bodies. The armored man jumped down in front of the two, and stalked towards his quivering prey. He had waited for this, sure it was only one turtle, but Shredder could care less. More would surely come, and he'll get rid of them all just the same.
Don moved in front of April, blocking her away from scar faced man. He wasn't going to give up, even without his bo-staff, he knew how to fight; even without a weapon. It might not be much, but hopefully it'll give April a chance to escape.
The moment Shredder unleashed his daggers Donnie charged. He first swung a round-house-kick, but Shredder easy dodged it, and slashed his knives to the mutant. Donatello struggled to keep track of the strikes, while also looking after April; one of Shredder's Foot members could easily swipe her away.
A sudden punch sent the purple banded ninja crashing against the wall. The world around him was a little dizzy, and he swore he saw two other clones of the metal man.
"Donnie!" April cried she looked around desperately to find some sort of weapon, anything to help him. All she could find was a small metal pipe; it will have to do.
The pipe was heavier then it looked, and it took much her strength just to lift it. She took a quick look at Donatello. He was up on his feet again, and dodging more attacks, while risking an opening strike every now and then. The gash on his head was leaking blood fast; he won't be able to last long.
April took a deep breath, and leveled the pipe onto her shoulder before rushing towards the enemy. There was no time to think, just act. With all the strength she had, the pipe collided with the side of Shredder's mask catching the man off guard, but only for a second.
He glared at her and swung his knives just barely missing her neck by an inch. Donatello countered attack, rushing to swing another hard kick. Shredder seemed more vigilant this time, and grabbed the turtle's ankle, swinging him around like a bat, to crash him face first the brick wall, with enough force to crack the red blocks.
April was forced to watch in horror, as her love slowly peeled off and fell unconscious.
"Looks like your boyfriend is out of time." Shredder crackled, his knives, clinked out once again, they seemed more threatening than ever.
April was frozen in place, she could do little. She was tired; the pipe was thrown away after it made its hit. She was standing alone against this horrid beast, who had once been a human being.
"Don…" She whispered in fear, risking at glance to her fallen friend; he was still out cold.
"It's just you and me now, kunoichi." This was it this was the end. As Shredder raised his knives for the final strike, April began to regret ever asking Donatello out to prom. It was all her fault, she should have just spoken up and said no to her aunt; if it meant saving Donnie's life.
"Any last words?" Shredder asked, relishing how her face turned stark white.
"Booyakasha!" Before anyone could react, throwing stars strike at the minis. April gasped, she knew that scream anywhere. Risking a look she couldn't help but cry at the sight of her other three, mutant, friends crowding at the top of the roof behind them, standing on the edge.
"April, grab Donnie and take him to safety, we'll take care of Shredder!" Leonardo shouted. The red head nodded, and moved as quickly as possible to her turtle.
Shredder glared at the turtles, he looked over at April who was struggling to pick up Donatello.
"Listen here, you over sized tin can!" Raph shouted with pure red fury. "You mess with me, that is one thing, but when you mess with my brother, you got another thing coming!"
"Yeah!" Mikey added he was just as mad as Raph, if not then more. Shredder's focus went between three turtles, to their fallen brother; and human friend. His options were limited, it was three against one, and the man hated to admit it, but Donatello had land some pretty mean strikes on him. His honor was wounded, and would be broken if he were to lose to a bunch of underground mutants.
Growling at his options, Shredder glared at the remanding three brothers. "This is not the end, turtles. Next time you'll regret challenging me!" With that Shredder grabbed a small hand full of flash powder. He only had a limited supply; it was only used in a situation like this.
With pound of his fist, the area was clouded with grey smoke. And Shredder was gone.
Donatello groaned at the dull ache in his head. Where was he? How did he get here? The last thing Donnie remembered was the Shredder and-
The Shredder!
Don tried to command his body to sit up, but something was keeping him down. Something warm and sweet smelling; like strawberries. He forced the pain aside to turn his head at what was next to him.
April was resting at his side; her head lying delicately on his good shoulder. Don felt his face grow red, the memories of what had happened came rushing back, and he could not believe any of that had happened. He felt like an idiot to come unprepared.
Don stared at the sleeping angel; she had a few bandages on her cheek and forehead, but nothing too serious, from what he could tell. As he took in his surroundings, Donatello began to settle down, when he recognized the place as the lair, his home.
Sleep called his name, after his nerves finally calmed down, now the turtle was relishing the way April molded next to him. Like a missing puzzle piece, a piece he hoped would stay with him forever.
AN: As always more fluff! X3 I'm sorry there wasn't a battle between the other three turtles and Shredder, but I just didn't know how to fit it in. Not to mention I suck at battle scenes. XD So, yeah, I was once again guilt tricked into writing a third chap. But hey, you have to make the reviewers happy. XP Most of the reviews asked for Shredder; so I put him in. I know it isn't much, but hopefully you guys will like it PEACE! \/
