The Fifth Turtle
Chapter 4: Loss of the Masters
Facing the turtles, Stockman shot out a blast of flames, setting the floor alight as the turtles dodged the attack. Leo jumped back into the fray, somersaulting with his sword and bringing it down on Stockman's arm slicing it cleanly off causing Stockman to cry out over the loss before blasting Leo with his missiles, knocking him back into the wall.
Lucian stood still, watching from beside his master before asking
"What should I do, Master, what are my orders?" Saki turned to look at the turtle and then motioned toward Stockman's arm saying
"With me!" the two raced forward, Saki slicing through a leg while Lucian jumped up and sliced off another arm, Stockman now wobbling with his balance thrown off making it easier for the other three turtles to knock him back enough to push him out of the window. Stockman cried out as he fell yelling
"This is just a minor setback!" As the crash echoed up to them, the turtles turned back to the room with the orange one…Michelangelo if he remembered what the rat said right…saying
"I'm going to miss that guy…not!" They halted then, drawing their weapons as Leo said
"Alright Shredder, let's finish this!" Saki chuckled, getting ready replying
"I intend to." Lucian looked toward the window, ears picking up a very faint noise he heard learnt to listen to after been with the Foot for 14 years before he quickly jumped, tackling his master backwards as Stockman burst into the room, jets blazing as he laughed manically.
"My internal jet pack array. I spared no expense..and why should I? After all, you were footing the bill, Shredder!" Lucian tackled his Master once again as Stockman blasted a missile in his direction before jumping out of the way of another aimed at him, the blast knocking more than just him back. As he landed he said
"Hey! What'd I ever do to you?" He paused then as Stockman glared in ager in his direction. Blinking he grinned and shrugged adding
"Ok, wrong question…hey!" He ducked as a fire blast flew over his head and he murmured
"Close shave, good thing I don't have hair." Over in the corner, Michelangelo rubbed his head and said from his upside down position
"Man, can someone please shut down that flying toaster oven?" The purple banded one knocked away the missile aimed at him as his brothers regrouped near him saying
"Maybe we can pull his plug. Leo, his exo-suits power supply! Those radium power cells on his back!" Leo narrowed his eyes and yelled back
"On it!" before jumping toward Stockman, dodging the attacks and flying over his head as Stockman said
"You Peons stand no change against my vastly superior intellect! I, Doctor Baxter Stockman shall-" His sentence was cut off as Leo sliced the cords connected to his power pack sending him crashing to the floor. Lucian walked back over to stand beside his Master as Michelangelo said happily
"Finally! Shut him down and shut him up!" only to take a step back as Stockman rose from the floor. Leo drew his blade asking
"What do we have to do to stop this guy?" Lucian and Saki emerged from the smoke behind him replying
"I have asked myself that question many times." Lucian nodded adding
"..and so far without an answer." Leo looked at him, frowning slightly before their gazes all turned back to Stockman.
"That deploy might of worked against a lesser mechanoid but, as always, I'm one step ahead in my design work. In addition to the centre power nodule, each component of my cyborg armour has its own internal back up power source. Ha!"
Lucian looked up at his Master before leaning back and motioning, catching the purple banded one's attention. Without catching his Master's attention, he motioned with his head in the direction or Stockman's lost arm and the olive skinned turtle immediately understood, nodding and putting his bo staff away as he walked forward saying
"So what you're saying is this arm should still be fully functional right?" He picked up the arm, aiming it toward Stockman as the cyborg turned saying
"Oh no" before hopping his way toward the hole in the wall. He wasn't quick enough. The turtle grinned and then yelled
"Fire in the hole!" The fire that shot out blasted Stockman in the back sending him flying out of the building and across the city, screaming right up the point that he exploded like a giant firework.
Lucian chuckled at that thought as Saki stepped forward saying
"Now, where were we?" The turtles were immediately on their feet, some trying to sneak up behind the Shredder as he said
"Oh yes…" Launching two kicks backwards he caught two turtles in the chests, sending them flying backwards before going to slice another in half only for the rat to step in, knocking the orange one out of the way in time. Saki growled and charged at the rat, knocking him backwards and out the wall with a hard kick. Two of the turtles cried out, Leo securing a rope before diving out after the rat and leaving his brothers to deal with Saki.
Lucian looked up as Saki raised his hand, the signal to get involved. So he did, aiming a sudden flying kick at the turtle closest to him…the red banded one. The dark green turtle growled, blocking the attack and only been knocked back a bit before attacking back, Sais clashing with Chakrams before he managed to get a kick in, throwing Lucian back against the wall. He stalked toward the black banded turtle as he rose, one amber and one faded blue eye locking with brown (A/N: I've seen people say their brown, some say they're green. I'm going brown so I'm sorry if that's not right but they looked brown at this point! Stopping rant now…) as the dark green turtle yelled
"Who the shell are you and why are you with Shredder?!" Lucian stood, eyes narrowing as he growled out
"None of your damn business!" He lunged at the other turtle, tackling him to the floor only to be thrown again and slamming into one of the pillars still remaining. The red one growled again and turned saying
"Argh, you are so not worth my time!" before he ran out to help his brothers fight the Shredder.
Lucian sat up, rubbing his neck and mentally noting the red one had a temper and was quite skilled at fighting but wasn't all bad. Not fighting back while appearing to fight would keep his Master happy and keep the turtles out of the loop on his skills. That would be revealed in time but for now…he had to keep helping his Master while learning what he could about the brothers. Racing outside, he jumped back into the fray only to see Leo had returned and used the Sword of Tengu to blast his Master back. He looked up as the sounds of guns caught his attention…his master had summoned back up. He shook his head and made his way through the Foot Ninjas to his Master's side, keeping anyone who got too close back so his Master could retrieve the Sword Leo had dropped.
He looked over only to duck as a nunchuk flew close by his head. He turned to look at Michelangelo, raising his Chakram and smiling saying
"Hi." The orange banded turtle blinked and grinned back.
"Hey-ey…Woah!" He ducked as Lucian threw the Chakram at his head, grinning as it flew off.
"That was stupid! Now you'll never get it back!" Lucian just grinned and pointed behind him. The sea green turtle blinked and turned, crying out and diving to the side as the Chakram flew past him again, stopping when Lucian caught it with a large smile. He settled back into a fighting position saying
"Boomerang Chakram, my own invention. Neat hey?" Michelangelo looked up at him and nodded before spinning and catching Lucian's feet with his own, knocking him on his carapace as he stood saying
"Real neat! Now, if you'll excuse me, I gotta go help my bros!" With that he ran off, knocking an elite ninja back as Lucian stood once more. The orange one was a bit easier going than the others, especially compared to the red one anyway. He grinned as he watched the four fighting together, knocking the elite ninja out and into a pile of unconscious bodies.
He looked over at his Master who was searching for the sword, standing and summoning more Foot Ninja as the turtles approached him. His eyes then widened as he watched his Master's enemies, the Guardians, appear, landing before the turtles as allies and attacking the Foot, leaving Leo and his brothers to fight the Shredder. Lucian looked between the two, noticing his Master had got his hands on the Sword of Tengu and was looking mighty pleased as its power coursed through him once again before he used its power to blast the turtles back. He approached them slowly, sword raising as he neared he red banded one. Lucian's eyes widened, jumping up and racing toward the turtles and his Master only to stop as a Guardian attacked. The man frowned at him asking
"You're a…turtle?" Lucian nodded, tightening his grip on his Chakrams as the man frowned deeper before attacking. Lucian ducked and retaliated, throwing his Chakram to the side as he rolled and blocked another attack with his other Chakram. He looked up and then ducked as the Chakram flew back over his head, the Guardian only just managing to dive to the side before the Chakram sliced him arm off. Lucian caught it as it returned, throwing himself toward the man and knocking him back with a well aimed kick to the chest.
He cast his eyes quickly toward his Master once more before crying out as Leo sliced his Master's head clean off. Saki fell to the ground, collapsing as his head rolled to the side and there he remained, unmoving. Lucian fell to his knees, staring at his Master's body before gasping as a blow caught him in the back, sending him flying through the wall onto the ledge outside where he stayed, groaning as he tried to retain consciousness. He remained still, vision swimming as he tried to focus on the rat lying against the wall. He couldn't move when the Guardians landed on the ledge as well, one picking up the rat and then saying something, pointing at him. He tried to tell them to go away, tell them to leave the rat alone…tell them anything! but his mouth wouldn't move and neither would his body. They started to approach but looked up as electricity raced down the building before an explosion sounded. The Guardians said something else and then left in a rush, leaving Lucian to finally give in to his exhausted body, his eyes falling shut, world fading to black as four shapes moved toward where he lay…
With Leo…
Leo looked at his brothers, giving a soft relieved sigh as he said
"Let's get Master Splinter and go home." They all smiled and nodded, following him to the ledge where he had left their Master. Four pairs of eyes widened slightly in surprise when they found the ledge empty except for their Master's walking stick and an unconscious black banded turtle. Leo ran over, picking up the wooden stick saying
"Wait a minute, I don't understand…I left him right here. He was in no shape to move…" Sirens sounded in the distance as Mikey asked
"How can he be gone?" Raph grounded his teeth, Mikey holding onto his shoulder as if tryign to calm him down silently as Don peered over the edge of the building saying
"Guys, we can't say here. We have to go." Reluctance showed on all their faces before Leo pointed at the helicopter not too far away from them.
"Donnie, the helicopter." Don looked over and nodded, going to head toward it before stopping and looking back at the prone form of the black banded turtle.
"What about him?"
Leo picked up Splinter's walking stick, looking at his brothers before standing and walking over to the unconscious turtle. Don walked over, kneeling down and placing a finger to his neck before saying
"He's alive at least. Leo?" Leo looked down, Raph growling out behind him
"Oh just leave him 'ere! He's with the Shredder!" Leo frowned once more before saying
"No, he was with the Shredder…and we can't just leave him here…" Raph crossed his arms muttering
"We could." Mikey knelt down, pulling the turtle up by the arm.
"Come on dude, he wasn't that bad. Like, didn't you notice he didn't really fight back?" Raph was silent before he nodded. Leo grabbed the mint green turtles other arm, pulling him upright and walking to the helicopter. Don slipped into the pilot seat, Leo and Mikey placing the unknown turtle in the back before the other three took their seats as well.
Don had them up in the air quickly, all four looking back down at the building.
"We did it, Leo, we defeated Shredder. " Leo cats his eyes at the red banded turtle before back down at the walking stick in his lap saying quietly
"But the price was too high." Mikey leaned forward, worry on his face as he asked
"You don't think Master Splinter is…" He didn't finish his sentence, he didn't have to. Leo bowed his head slightly answering quietly
"I don't know Mikey, I truly don't know." The four fell silent, Don flying them away from the flaming building and heading back home, their loss weighing heavily on them all…
*Coughs and groans, rubbing head* Somehow I managed to type this up and post it…but I tell you, my head is killing me now! Word of advice: don't get tossed through a wall..it hurts! I'll get started on writing the next part as soon as I can concentrate on typing, promise. ^_^
Of course, leave a comment below on what you think so far. Catch you all soon!
