Chapter 7
The way to April's house wasn't as straight and narrow as Leo had thought it would be. The sewers were crawling with purple dragons and Foot ninjas and they had to fight for every step to get out of the sewer.
"There's the sewer cap!" Mickey cried out, pointing about 10 feet away from Leo, who lead the group. A large purple dragon charged Leo, who shifted position and his feet crossed, left in front of right. He spun on his left foot, the right coming up and out, catching his opponent squarely in the jaw. The man fell over and Leo jumped over him, attacking the Foot ninja who took his place. Behind him Mickey called out a move to Donny, who through a fist through a short Foot ninja's abdomen. Donny sprinted and jumped over a tall purple dragon member and into the circle that had formed around his little brother. Mickey used his momentum to swing his brother around and throw him into another large gangster. A punch aimed for the youngest turtle's head missing by barely a hair while Mickey reached up and used the punch to throw the man over his shoulder and into Donny's perfectly aimed kick.
Val extended her claws while linking hands with a smaller Foot ninja, who screamed in pain. She grinned and let him go, laughing as he stumbled into a row of ninjas behind him. She dropped low to the ground to doge a hit from behind and let the man hit the new attacker in front of her. She hit the man behind her with a swift kick to his crotch while sending a punch into the man's throat in front of her, making sure he could tell her hands where lethal weapons. A man came up and bare hugged her from behind. She squirmed for a bit, desperate to get out when she latched her teeth into the man's thick arms. He screamed and let her go, earning him a kick in the groin and and punch to his adams apple. She ran her tongue down her teeth and licked away the blood, smiling.
Across the room Raphael loudly laughed as he chucked one purple dragon into a dozen Foot ninjas. Behind him and punch connected with his lower back and Raphael rolled around it, ignoring the pain, and hitting his head against the other man's nose. He felt a kick coming behind him and he jumped to the side, raming the man he had just head butted into the guy who just tried to kick him. A group of five circled around him, making his smile grow.
"Bring it!" He yelled, throwing a round house kick to down any of them not quick enough on their feet. He knocked down 3 but missed 2. One of them took ahold of his foot and threw the hothead turtle, who didn't fight the throw at all. He fell to the ground and rolled back to his feet, seemily not harmed. "That all ya got?" He snarled, pulling out his sais. The man before him disappeared as Ari swooped down and dropped a giant piece of loose concrete on his head. Raph smiled up at her and bent his knees, narrowly avoiding and oncoming hit. He grabbed the man's hand and forced it back on the guy so that his attacker was staring at the palm of his hand. Raph dug his sais into two pressue points on the back of the mans hand and watched as the guy fell to the floor in pain. Raph raised his foot with a sour smile and curb stomped his victim. Blood splattered up his leg, spreading his grin further.
"Was that necessary?" Leo grumped from across the room, running his arm up under a purple dragons ribs and using his entire body to put more force into the hit. Raph laughed like a mad man.
"Absolutely!"
"Dude, we need to get Rory outta here!" Mickey called, sticking his hand out in front of him to poke a Foot ninja in the eyes and sending the man screaming in pain.
Leo reached out a hand to Donny and jumped over his brother's head, landing on an attacker behind his younger brother. "Make a beeline for the sewers cap! Me and Raph will protect the flank!"
The group ran towards the exit, Donny standing by to help everyone up the long stairs. Once everyone was up he looked back at his two brothers who still were fighting behind everyone.
"Everyone's up! Run!" He screamed. Leo heaved his weight around his own body, cross stepping to make sure the kick landed perfectly.
"You first." He grunted at Raph. His younger brother stuck a sai through a purple dragon's thigh and kicked the man to the ground.
"Don't think so fearless!"
Leo sighed. "Fine on the count of three. One..." Leo caught the bandana of a Foot ninja's outfit and yanked it back in the opposite direction of his kick.
"Two.." Raph grunted, tripping a purple dragon into the Foot ninja Leo had in his grasp.
"Three!" Leo let go of the Foot ninja and let the two attackers fall into each other. Both him and Raph sprinted to the sewers cap and rushed up the ladder, Leo making it first and Raphael close behind him. After getting out Leo held a hand down to Raph and swung him out of the sewers. Raphael close the sewer lid and flopped onto the ground, soon followed by Leo, both breathing heavily. Donny ran to their side with a worried look.
"You guys ok?"
Leo's chest heaved as he rocked his head to face Raphael. Raphael looked back at him and started laughing. Before long, the leader joined in till they both hooted in laughter and rolled around on the ground. Val leaned against a wall in the background and scrunched her nose.
"What's so funny?"
Mickey shrugged. "Beats me."
Leo wiped a tear from his eyes an laid a hand on Raphael's stomach. "Good fighting lil brother." Raph closed his eyes and grinned.
"Same ta ya, fearless."
"Hate to break this moment but...where are we going?" Looking down at them was Faye, her face twisted in confusion. Leo jumped to his feet and brushed himself off.
"Follow me." He smiled, heading off in front of the group. Raph's smile disappeared as he rolled to his feet and followed beside Val.
Above them Ari flew, making sure the area was safe. She closed her eyes and felt the cool air rush over her. A smile eased over her young face. The worst had to be over...right?
"Are you sure you're ok?" April asked again, ushering the guys and their friends into her story and up the stairs to her apartment.
"We're fine April. Just in need of a place to rest." Splinter laid a hand on the old friend's shoulder and smiled. "We might also require minor medical assistance. Nothing more then what we can handle, I guarantee.." April smiled nervously and opened the door to her house.
"So who are your...uh...friends?" The guys headed in, Mickey first carrying a still passed out Rory over his shoulder. Ari was still nowhere to be found but Val insisted she's still show up.
The cat lady stopped in the doorway and held out a hand to the redhead. "Name's Valentina, but I go by Val. The passed out idiot is Rory, the tall fish girl is Faye, and later to come tonight is a winged human called Arianna, or Ari. Nice to meet you?..."
"A-April. April O'Neil."
Val shook April's hand and headed into the house, standing next Leo. Mickey laid Rory on the couch and bent down next to her. The blue clad turtle laid a hand on his younger brother's shoulder.
"The most you can do to help her right now is get some sleep." He sai. Val huffed behind him.
"She's fine. This isn't the first time she's passed out by pushing herself too far. Just give her some time. She'll wake up." For once, Mickey didn't say a word.
Raphael rolled his shoulders and cracked his neck. "Well Imma hit the sack. Night bros."
Val looked back at Raph and nodded her head. "Me too. See you guys tomorrow morning.
Leo bent down beside Mickey. In the background Faye could be heard asking April if she could sleep in the bath tub.
"Yes, but I don't quite understand why..."
"Don't ask. I'll explain later." Donny laughed. They all could be heard exiting the room. With Splinter already headed out to bed almost as soon as they got there, Leo, Mickey and a passed out Rory were the only ones left in the living room. Leo sighed.
"I'm going to bed Mickey...be sure and get some sleep."
Mickey nodded his head and curled up on the end of the couch with Rory. Leo gave a small half smile before exiting the room.
"Night Mickey. Good luck." He whispered.
