Life gets in the way of things sometimes... But here's the next bit.
The three younger turtles found themselves completely surrounded by the Foot Ninja with no way to escape unless they fought their way through. Raph growled his grip on his sais tightened, as he looked at the Foot with amber eyes, his hotheadiness was getting to him. The second oldest turtle attacked without thinking which forced his brothers to attack as well so that they were not caught off guard. Lightning flashed above their heads as the three turtles began the battle of their lives against an army of Foot.
"Come on!" Raph yelled as he kicked at a Foot Ninja.
Donnie and Mikey stayed close to each other as they fought against the army of Foot that swarmed around them. They lost sight of Raph in the sea of Foot Ninja that continued to surround them and tried to separate them. Yet the two brothers were proving that they were not going to be separated from each other like other times. The only way they knew that Raph was still fighting was the fact that they could hear him yelling from wherever he was.
Lightning flashed above them once more as a large figure appeared on the adjacent rooftop with more Foot flanking him. The lightning reflected off armor that caused the figure's entire body; as this man watched the battle below.
"The turtles will fall." the figure said, jumping from down toward the fight.
Raph took out the Foot that got close to him allowing his hotheadiness to cloud his judgement (like usual) and not realize what was coming. As he turned to take on the next Foot soldier, he was knocked back by an armored boot. The turtle landed hard and rolled away looking up he found himself swarmed by Foot Ninja. Donnie and Mikey were fighting when suddenly a boot caught Mikey in the face and a fist caught Donnie in the chest. They like Raph found themselves swarmed by Foot, losing their weapons in the process and held they are pulled onto their knees and held down by their arms and shoulders, by several Foot. Their weapons were out of reach and they were forced to look up as a figure appeared before them.
"Shredder." Raph growled, struggling to get free.
"It seems we are missing a turtle." Shredder said not really acknowledging that Raph had spoken.
"We don't need Leo."
"We shall see."
The Shredder moved forward his arm raised to strike the turtle; Raph watched growling at the man. As the arm moved to strike, the younger turtles closed their eyes thinking that their brother was gonna be dead soon. But the blow never came, the sound of metal hitting metal echoed around them in the silence of the coming storm. As they looked up blue bandana tails caught the breeze as a sword held back the Shredder's bladed hand.
"Leo!" the three turtles yelled in surprise.
"Leonardo." Shredder said calmly.
The eldest turtle didn't respond as he pushed the Shredder back away from himself and his brothers. He moved slowly as he and Shredder began to circle each other waiting for that moment when they could attack. Raph, Donnie and Mikey watched surprised then realized that the Foot Ninja were distracted and unsure of what to do. Though surprised themselves, the three younger turtles jumped into action getting themselves free.
"None of you shall escape this." Shredder told Leo.
"Says you." Leo replied.
The turtle jumped forward seeing an opening though he was blocked b the blades on Shredder's hand. Each of them fought hard against the other, both seeming to be equally matched against the other. Neither noticed that their battle was nearing the edge of the building as they continued to battle. The other turtles fought with the remaining Foot Ninja, staying close to not get separated and defeated once more. As Raph kicked the last Foot in the side of the head, the three turned to see how Leo fared.
Leo locked swords with the Shredder who had attained the weapon from a fallen Foot Ninja. The two pushed against the other trying to break the other under the pressure of the other. Not wanting to let the Shredder get to his brothers again, Leo pushed back and tackled the man around the middle. Raph, Donnie, and Mikey turned just in time to watch as their brother disappeared over the edge.
"Leo!" the younger turtles yelled.
