AN/: I'm back! Woo! So busy busy busy over here! Lots of stuff I had and still have to do! But I finally have some time to sit and write. And am very happy.
TMNT 2012 Series is premiering in September! I'm actually very excited! I was really skeptical at first, but after seeing all the preview clips and trailers I can't wait! The animation is WWAAYYYY better than I thought it was gonna be. The character designs look pretty cool (Except for Don. Not crazy about it, but he could be really adorable if they animate it right) So, over all I'm pretty happy with the new series so far. Still have to watch it to be sure though!
Well, that's enough out of me. Hope you like the chapter!
I'm not sure what I was expecting. To drown, to suffocate, or maybe end up in another dimension. I have to say I wasn't expecting to end up on one of the cities roof tops. It was still night time and the sky was clear enough to see the stars. What is going on here? Did I just dream that up? Did I just sleep walk up here?
"Nice of you to join me."
I spun around and found my self face to face with a man I'd never seen before. He was well built, at least a foot and a halt taller than myself. He dressed in all black with a mask covering all of his face except for his eyes, which were a bright gold color. He carried two spears with 3 blades each on his back.
"Who are you?" I asked getting into a defensive fighting stance.
"Your opponent," he told me simply.
"Opponent?"
"Yes. This is a universal challenge that I requested."
"Why me? Do I even know you?"
"I'll answer your questions if, and only if you beat me in fair combat."
I didn't like his tone, "And if I refuse?"
"Then your life is forfeit."
That wasn't an option. "Fine. I accept your challenge, who ever you are."
"Excellent," He said as he reached behind himself for one of his spears. I instantly tensed up and readied myself for an attack. Then he did something I wasn't expecting. Instead of attacking me with it, he tossed it to me. I caught it and I must've had a dumbfounded expression on my face because he bowed to me and said, "I am not without honor. I will not attack an un-arm warrior." He took the other spear in his hands and readied himself as well.
"You may have the first move," His voice was deep and steady, I could tell that honesty rang true in his words. There was something about the words themselves that sounded very familiar. As though I've heard them once before.
Raphs POV
This joker in the red mask is really starting to tick me off. He just thinks he can come out of nowhere and make Leo go along with his "Universal Challenge" like he owns the place. They guy isn't even fighting fair! And to make things worse, this other bozo with the fancy water tricks is keepin' us from helping him. Master Splinter says that the only thing we can do is cheer him on and believe in him. I know Leo can take care of himself and I know that he can beat this guy. But it just really gets under my shell to know that if he does need help, I'm not allowed to give it to 'em. Leo and the goon in the mask were fighting on the bridge and things aren't looking good for my bro right now. Master Splinter put a hand on my shoulder.
"It is hard to watch my son, I know. But we must."
"Sensei, isn't there anything we can do!" asked Donnie.
Splinter paused for a minute, "Yes, there is." He turned to the clown with the fan, "As family members, we claim right of attendance."
"….So granted," he answered. He waved his fan and the next thing I knew we were on the bridge. The Ultimate Ninja was flat on his back and Leo was the one standing.
"Woah! This isn't how we left things!" said Mikey.
Apirl was grinning from ear to ear, "Change is good!"
"Yo! You go Leo!" Casey the big bone head cheered.
Leo looked like he had this in the bag as he walked over to his opponent who was still makin' best friends with the concrete. That's what it looked like anyway. When Leo got close enough he threw some kind of greed dust in Leos eyes and started attacking while he couldn't see! I really hate this guy. I wish I was the one fighting him instead of Leo. With every blow the Ultimate Ninja dealt, Leo took another step back. He was getting closer and closer to the edge. Until the no good-dirty-rotten-cheating- son of a bitch pushed him right over the side!
"NO! Leo!" I shouted,
The air erupted with the maniacal laughter of Leos challenger.
Fiurri POV
My challenger was very strong and very skilled, but he was holding back. I felt he wasn't giving his all. Which, to be honest, made me feel a little insulted. If he went threw the trouble of challenging me, why isn't he trying harder to me beat me? Well, that's fine with me. If he's not going give everything he's got, then I will. The sooner I kick his butt, the sooner I get my answers, and sooner I can get back the lair. Everyone is probably back by now and wondering where I am. I don't want them to worry about me. We had been fighting for a while now. It could've been minutes or it could've been hours, I couldn't tell. I was at a slight disadvantage due to my lack of still with spear weapons , but it was better than nothing. The sound of steel crashing against steel rang in my ears with every strike and blow either blocked or deflected. I knew there was something faintly familiar about his fighting style, like I'd seen it before. It doesn't matter there was no use wondering about it now, I'd get my answers after I win. It was time to get serious. I quickly dodged the blade on his weapon and counter attacked. I knocked him off his feet a sweep kick and gabbed at him with a lot of force, more force than what I had been using so far. Before my blade made contact with his flesh he got back on his feet and put a good 8 feet between us. I jerked my spear out from the ground and got in my stance once again. We were glaring each other down now. I was expecting him to lunge at me or make a move, but he just…..chuckled.
"Finally getting serious now are we?"
"That depends. Are you done wasting my time with your stalling tactics?"
He took his spear and stuck in the ground next to his feet and put his fist up. A gesture requesting hand to hand combat, "Why don't you come and find out?" I could hear the smile in his voice. I copied his movements, putting my weapon in the ground also. I smiled back, "Gladly." I charged him closing the space he put between us and went for a few punches and kicks. He dodge every one of them with ease then landed a right hook across my left cheek, making me stumble back a few feet. So he was faster than he was letting on….I think he even made me bleed. I lifted my hand to wipe the blood from my chin but I noticed something, my cheek now felt really cold. I touched it with my finger tips. Frost? I had frost on my cheek! This guy was a Fridgian? I don't have the time to stop and think about it, I need to keep fighting. We exchanged punched and kicks once again, only this time, I was the one dodging and he was the one getting hit.
I don't get it, what could a Fridgian want with me? What could he possibly gain by fighting me? Last time I checked, the Pironian and Fridgian empire were on good terms. What is going on here! I hate this being left in the dark crap! For all I know this guy could be a nobody with nothing of any importance to me and he's just wasting my time. He dodged my next punch and for an execution kick to my head but I dodged it. If you can call it dodge, I barely had to move because he aimed too high.
Wait.
His kick was….too high.
Too high…
The wheels in my head slowly turned, and then, it finally clicked. I know exactly who he is.
AN: Cliffhanger again! Mawhahahahahaha!
I know it was kinda short, but I'm sort on time over here. Next Chapter will be up soon! : )
Review please, I need motivation! X D
