Takes place between Chapters 38 - 41 in "Realities Collide"
They were gathered around the rabbit as the portal hummed softly behind them.
"He's a stubborn one." Michelangelo noted. "Been at this for awhile now."
Leonardo just grunted and kicked the rabbit again, for the countless time tonight. Stupid motherfucking- He paused as he clearly felt hate, and it was aimed towards him but not coming from anyone next to him. He spun around and looked up to the shadows of the catwalk, and met a pair of familiar blue eyes. Dammit all to hell! How did they know? He was beginning to understand the frustration those who dealt with them on a regular basis here felt. They were good, very good...
"Still trying to right the wrongs of your world I see." Leonardo called up to them. "It's to bad you can't sneak up on yourself though isn't it?" He didn't have to look behind him to know that his own brothers had spotted the group above them.
"Usagi! Oh my lord guys they have Usagi!" The woman cried out then.
Usagi? Who in the fuck was Usagi? He tried to puzzle it out as they had a quick conversation up there, then said fuck it and concentrated to the matter at hand as they came dropping down. Their Leonardo came down with her in his arms. Leonardo watched as he ran as the other turtle hit the ground in a roll and let her go as he passed over her, then was up on his feet to meet Leonardo's blades. She got up and ran around him, well out of his reach, with another woman he hadn't seen yet and he soon lost sight of them both as he kept his focus on the blue masked turtle in front of him.
"Stop them you fools! They will ruin everything!" Stockman was screaming behind him. That was followed shortly with the sounds of gunfire. A bullet whizzed by the two combatants as it narrowly missed their heads. What they hell were they doing back there! Couldn't Stockman hold back two fucking women? He managed to kick the other Leonardo away and risked a quick look just in time to see the gun fall from his hand, hit the floor with a discharge that hit the control panel and then she beat the snot out of him.
He snarled in fury and began to charge the woman, this meddlesome woman! She was just as bad as those damn goody two shoe turtles! He completely ignored the new woman as he rushed past her, his dark eyes focused on the one that was his counterpart's pet. She would pay tonight for this...she would pay!
"Vicky! Look out!" The other woman screamed and the call was heard. Her eyes grew wide after she spun around and saw him coming for her, his intent perfectly clear on his face as he leapt for her. She somehow managed to duck under his leap, but he reached out and grabbed the back of her sweater and pulled her along with him through the now fluctuating portal. And it snapped shut behind them once they passed through.
He lost his grip on her when they hit the ground and she promptly got up and ran into the forest they both found themselves in. He snarled again and rolled to his feet then chased after her. It was pathetically easy to catch up with her and he grabbed her and slammed her against a nearby tree before clamping his hand around her throat.
"You are a very meddlesome person." He growled at her. "You didn't actually think you could run from me did you?"
"I sure as hell wasn't going to stay with you!" She snapped back, her eyes full of fear. "Let me go!" She tried kicking out at him but he easily blocked it with his own leg.
He looked calmly down at her as he was once again overcome by that scent and he began to feel something start to stir in him. "You are a feisty one, aren't you? I think I know why he likes you so much."
"You don't know anything!" She hissed, still struggling.
He laughed softly, thoroughly amused by her pitiful attempts to break free. "Keep it up. I'm enjoying this."
"That's because you're a pervert."
"Never denied it." He brought his head close to hers. "And I'm about to show you just how much of one I am." He said softly as his free hand began to undo her pants, roughly. Again she tried to fight back and her attempts only stirred his arousal more. "Oh yes, I am really going to enjoy this..." He tightened his hold on her throat to where she was struggling to breath, calming her movements some as she began to cry.
It didn't bother him at all, and he reached a hand inside and began to fondle her warm flesh "Mmmmmm. Nice and warm. And of course your fear make this even more delicious." He began to push a finger inside her, hard, taking pleasure from her cry of pain, feeling her tightness around him. "Tight too. I bet you give him a good ride." He was getting more aroused by her fear and weak struggles, he wouldn't be able to hold himself back much longer. Her fear aroused him, his scent on her aroused him, he wanted to take her, now... He brought his head close to hers again. "I hope you like a good hard pound, because that's what I'm about to give you." Then he licked her cheek.
And a moment later there was a sharp pain on his own cheek as she bit down on him, hard. He clearly felt her break the skin as her teeth sunk in deep and he dropped her in pain and rage as his hand covered his wound. She took that moment of inattention to flee, but he couldn't follow.
His eyes were wide, his breathing coming in heavy breaths as he stood there. That bite had awakened his other side again and it was pleading for him to stop, leave her be. Hoping that her lover would come and save her. Emotions whirled around in his head as he once again fought with himself. Once again he saw those accusing blue eyes. He collapsed to his knees, his head in his hands as the two sides fought for control. No...he couldn't do this anymore! He couldn't... But he had too, it was what he did... But it wasn't right... He had been trained to do it...to hurt others to get what he needed... "Stop it!" He whispered out into the night forest. "Stop it!" He almost screamed as tears ran down his cheeks. He just wanted it all to stop! The voices, the hate, the visions, all of it! "Stop...please stop..." He whimpered as his hands dropped to the ground and he leaned on them, tears flowing from his eyes.
But, as usual, the shadow won and took control again. It took longer, but it slowly forced everything else away again. He wasn't really sure how long he was there, struggling to control himself when he finally stood up. His eyes were now focused on where she disappeared to, and he slipped into the woods to find her. He had something he needed to finish.
His meltdown already forgotten he tracked her and found her very easily. Why in the hell was the stupid broad in a tree? Did she seriously think that he wouldn't find her up there? Lord... He rolled his eyes at the stupidity he had to deal with. He knew he should just go up there and deal with her, but he didn't. He found himself watching her instead from his hidden spot in the trees. With curiosity of all things. What did he see in her? Why did he protect her? What was so important about her that he would risk everything? She was just a plain woman, and definitely not very skilled. Leonardo had taken women just like her so many times he couldn't count, then never gave them a second thought. So why did his counterpart even deal with her? Vicky...he remembered the other woman saying... Her name is Vicky...
Still he just stood there, quietly watching as she stayed hunkered down about forty feet up. And he finally admitted to himself that it was out of reluctance. He didn't want to do this... He didn't want to rob another little girl of a parent... But he had his own life to think about. He still had to eliminate those other turtles, and she would be a major step to breaking one of them down.
And she bit him! She had the nerve to fucking bite him! He didn't know what was worse, the fact that she did or the fact that no one had done it since he was a kid and she had even been able to do it! If he didn't kill her he'd never live that down!
Muttering to himself he finally moved out from the trees and glared up at her as she watched him in return. Then he began the forty foot climb. He saw the desperation on her face as he drew closer and she began to look around frantically before she found a branch and snapped it of, waving it around her like a club. Leonardo just rolled his eyes again, oh please... She did take a swing at him when he got close enough, one that he easily dodged though. She swung at him again and he pulled out a katana and knocked the branch from her hands and she watched as it tumbled to the ground below.
She looked around frantically again for something to use, but found nothing and by now he almost had her. She took a deep breath, then leapt off of the branch she had been sitting on. He was so shocked that he couldn't fully comprehend what she just did and took a half assed swipe with his katana, managing to slice her leg as she fell past him. The fucking crazy ass bitch...just jumped out of a tree... Well...shit...
He looked down and saw her clinging to a branch below, just as the sounds of it breaking met his ears. Her eyes widened as she also heard the sound, then the branch snapped and she went tumbling down, flopping and plopping into every branch she came across. Huh, didn't seem like that idea worked out to good now, did it? Hell at this rate he wouldn't have to kill her, her own stupidity would... He actually winced a little at her thud when she finally hit the ground...that must have hurt...
Even from up here he could make out her quiet groan as her body shifted. "You have got to be shitting me..." He mumbled under his breath. The dumb broad was actually still alive after all of that? Jesus christ...can't even count on the stupid laws of physics to do a damn job right... Now he had to go back down and get her...
Grumbling a lot of unpleasant things, he quickly made his way down the damn tree and took up the chase again. She didn't make it very far when he hit the ground and by now he was more than a little angry at the problems she was causing him tonight. One fucking woman shouldn't be so god damn hard to kill! He leapt and tackled her from behind and they both hit the ground.
She struggled to crawl out from under him and he spun her onto her back and slapped her across the face but she still struggled. Her hand found a rock and she slammed it to the side of his head, stunning him a moment as she again tried to crawl away. He quickly shook the blow off and again scrambled on top of her before he slapped her again, and once more. "You're almost more trouble than you are worth." He hissed at her.
"Get off of me!" She screamed back, slapping his already sore cheek. Her arm came up for another hit but he pulled out a knife and sliced that attacking arm.
"I was going to let you live long enough to get some pleasure out of you." He snarled into her fear filled face. "Now I'm just going to kill you. Painfully." He brought the knife to her chest and slowly began to push it in. "This is going to hurt you sooo much, and I'm going to enjoy it." Again he found amusement at her tears and the pitiful attempts to hold his arm back. But at the same time he heard his own screams in his head, screams for him to stop this...
"GET OFF OF HER!" A voice thundered in the clearing and Leonardo felt someone slam into him, knocking him off of her. Leonardo suddenly found himself in the fight of his life as his counterpart locked onto him and began to pummel him mercilessly. Leonardo was too busy trying to get him off to even think about fighting back. Leonardo finally managed to get a leg in between them and shoved him off and the other turtle hit the ground in a roll and came to a stop on his feet, blades drawn.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't rip you to shreds right now." The blue masked turtle said. "You just crossed a line you will wish you didn't."
Leonardo laughed at him, the idiot still didn't understand. "Because I know breaking her, killing her, will make you easier to deal with, you soft hearted fool. It's never been about her. It's been about breaking you." He narrowed his eyes. "She is your weakness. The key to your defeat and I will use her if it helps me. Even now your concern for her blinds you."
"Try me, and see how blind I am." Came the grim, deathly quiet reply.
Well, since he insisted... Leonardo rushed him. They came together in a flurry of movement, blades clashing and circling around each other. Leonardo knew right away that he was trying to keep the fight away from her as she struggled to get up, but couldn't. So of course the dark clad turtled tried to use that to his advantage as he tried to get around him, to her.
"I won't let you near her." Blue Boy snarled . Twisting his blade around the one he had just blocked and bringing it down and wide.
"Weakness." Leonardo snarled back and brought his free blade in only to have his other one meet it. Leonardo pushed with enough force against the locked blades to send his opponent falling backwards and he had to do a flip over her to keep from falling on her. He saw his chance as she lay now undefended in front of him, and swung his blades down, only to have them blocked.
"Strength." The rabbit from earlier told him firmly as he held the turtles blades back as he stood over Vicky, straddling her with his legs. "You shall not harm her." He pushed the attacking blades away, then followed them with his own. His blade circling in to catch both katanas and swinging them out wide to the side, then he spun himself inside those out flung blades and landed an elbow into the exposed side, knocking Leonardo even further away. He steadied himself and growled in frustration as he launched another flurry, that was picked off cleanly by the rabbit ronin. He had to do this! He couldn't afford to lose again!
Then the other Leonardo was there, his blades reaching out and and slapping the katanas out of the way as he came in spinning, then followed that spin through with a kick that sent Leonardo flying and he hit the ground hard enough to knock the wind out of him for a moment and he glared at the turtle who stood there calmly and watched him as he stood back up. "Please, Usagi. Get her back, I'll deal with him."
"As you wish, Leonardo." The rabbit answered carefully picked her up, then carried her through the portal that was now open not far away.
Now it was just the two turtles and they stood facing each other, hate filling their eyes as they exchanged glares. "I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You are a coward." The other turtle spat at him. "If you want me, fight me. Leave her out of it!"
"But it would be so much more fun to do it my way." Leonardo grinned at him. "I like watching her suffer..."
Leonardo fully underestimated the shit storm he unleashed with that comment. Blue eyes flared as he came in and Leonardo found that he was having a very difficult time trying to keep those swords away from him. Again this turtle fought with something fueling him that he couldn't keep up with. A foot found it's way past his defences and landed solidly against his plastron and Leonardo went flying back through the portal and into a group of men who just happened to be in his landing zone. He also noticed that he landed in the middle of a huge cluster fuck and scrambled to get out of the way.
Even as he made his way around the room, he watched his prey as he picked Vicky up and cradled her gently in his arms. She buried her face against him and held him tight as he began to make his way across the room, somehow managing to get past all of Bishop's men that had filled the place.
Leonardo snarled as he pushed some of those own men out of his way, his intent clear as he broke through the crown in front of them. "I'm not done with you." He hissed.
"I've had enough you." Came the quiet reply. "Get out of my way." He said through clenched teeth.
Leonardo brought the blades down, but once again they were blocked by that meddlesome rabbit! He was about to scream in frustration when a blinding pain exploded on the side of his head as the other Leonardo connected with the side of his head with a foot and once again he found himself airborne before he smashed into the wall and slid down. He looked up in shock at the other turtle and met a blue eyes glare that actually chilled Leonardo to his bones. The glare told him to stay down, and this time he listened.
He just quietly watched as they left before he got up to follow him. He watched as they made it outside and over the fence before he leapt up there himself. There he just quietly watched as his brother's joined him. "Still haven't managed to kill her I see." Donatello smugly noted as they watched the group retreat.
Leonardo just snarled at him as he held them back from charging. His eyes had met those icy blue orbs again, and he clearly read the warning in them. Come and try if you dare, and you will die. Leonardo didn't want to die.
