The Truth Comes Out-Chapter 4

"They got away." Raphael said, "Donnie, you have any way we can track them down?"

"I'm a scientist and engineer. I don't know anything about magic."He replied.

"Those two must still be after the war staff." Leonardo said .

"Not just them. Usagi's new girlfriend is involved as well." Donatello said.

"How do you know?" Leonardo asked.

"I overheard them planning to steal the war staff from the Daimiyo." Donatello replied.

"We gotta protect Master Splinter, too. That ninja guy tried to frame him before." Raphael said, "Accused him of trying to hurt the Daimiyo."

"No duh. So how do we stop them? We need to warn Master Splinter." Michaelangelo said,.

"Drago followed us here. He and the Ninja had to have been sent to Earth due to the rift in the portal caused by the war staff the last time we fought them." Leonardo said, "They had to have somehow managed to find their way back to this demension."

...

"Usagi..." Red Bella began softly.

"Shh. You mustn't try to talk." Usagi told her, "You were poisoned. I found the entry wound and treated it with herbs."

"My father...He is very sick...I must have the Chamolife plant. It is only thing that can save him." She said.

"I know the place where this flower can be found. It is a very trecherous and dangerous area." He replied.

"If I don't live..." She began.

"You will live. But you must rest." Usagi told her.

"If I don't live, you must get the plant to my father." She managed to say, "Drago and the Daimiyo's son told me they had the only plant. They said they would give it to me if I helped them steal the war staff from the Daimiyo." Red Bella said, gasping at the pain of the poisoned dart.

''The Daimiyo's son tried to assassinate you." Usagi said, "You saved my life. I am forever in your debt."

"Dear Usagi...you have saved mine." Red Bella said, placing her hand over Usagi's hand that held a pestle.

"My sweet Bella..." Usagi began, then a frown passed on his face, "You must not trust Drago or the Daimiyo's son."

"You have my word, but dearest...is anything else troubling you?" She asked.

"You are an angel descended from the heavens. I am but a poor, penniless ronin. What could I possibly offer someone as beautiful and special as you?" He groaned.

Red Bella smiled. She cupped his face in her hand.

"I care for you alone, my love." She said, leaning her face towards his and they kissed. A gentle kiss that became passionate.

"Oh, I must let you rest." He said, breaking the kiss.

"Of course." She replied, looking disappointed, "Promise me you'll get the Chamolife plant to my father?"

"As a samurai following the code of Bushido, you have my word." He bowed to her, "But I know you will live."

Then Usagi frowned again. The Daimiyo's son had to pay for trying to harm Red Bella.

"Usagi?" Red Bella questioned, at seeing his face.

"I am fine. Rest, my sweet. I will be back." He said, going out.

"Usagi must not die. The Ultimate Ninja is a dirty fighter. Drago is underhanded as well. I must help Usagi." She thought to herself.

...

"Why did you shoot Red Bella? She was part of our plan to get the war staff?" Drago asked the Ultimate Ninja.

The two villains were in the streets of the medieval village. It was night time.

"I meant to shoot the ronin, but she got in the way." The Ultimate Ninja replied, "The plan can still work out. She can keep the ronin occupied, while we steal the war staff."

"But what about the turtles? And the rat master?"Drago asked, "They could still be a threat."

"We sure are." Said a voice.

Drago and the Daimiyo's son looked up to see the Ninja Turtles.

"It's the end of the line for you, bozos!" Raphael cried out, taking out his sais.

Leonardo had his swords drawn. Michaelangelo whirled his numchuks. Donatello gripped his staff.

"My ninjas! Attack!" The Ultimate Ninja cried out.

Leonardo socked one ninja while spin-kicking another. One ninja lunged for Raphael who backflipped twice out of the way. Michaelangelo flipped over one ninja back kicking him. Donatello took out several with his staff.

Drago grabbed two of the turtles, Donatello and Michaelangelo, with his tail.

"Can't get free." Donatello said.

"Talk about a tight squeeze!" Michaelangelo said.

"Mikey! Donnie! Hold on!" Raphael cried out, holding off some ninjas with one of his sais. He broke free making his way to help his two brothers.

He struck Drago with his sai. The latter was trying to strike Raphael who ducked.

"No one messes with my family!" He cried out.

"You think you are a match for me, little turtle?" Drago sneered.

"I'm gonna cut you down to size, snake man!" Raphael cred out, screaming.

He soon knocked Raphael into the wall of a building then grabbed him.

"I can't be stopped. I am invincible!" He crowed.

"Raph!" Leonardo cried out, running at the giant dragon monster.

The two fought. Leonardo backflipping and dodging his attacks. But Drago soon even had Leonardo in his fowl grasp.

Suddenly, something struck him making him drop the turtles. Usagi ran to help the turtles up.

"Thanks, Usagi." Leonardo said.

"It wasn't just me, Leonardo-san." The samurai said, pointing.

"Sensei!" Michaelangelo cried out, excitedly.

Master Splinter was in a fighting stance and holding out his wooden cane like a staff to face Drago

"So we meet again, rat master." Drago said.

"Yes, it would appear so." Splinter said.

"This time, the outcome will be different." He said.

...

"We must find the Daimiyo's son." Usagi told the turtles.

"Stay here and protect Master Splinter. Usagi and I will find the ninja." Leonardo said.
