I don't own TMNT.
Harley's POV
We moved methodically through the yard silently taking out guards as we travelled. When we reached the far right end I jumped onto the top of a train car and pulled out the binoculars from my belt. Raising them to my eyes I scanned the area. I took count of each of the guards and raised my eye ridges in disbelief, as the number grew to double digits. A vibration passed through the rusted metal underneath me. Someone kneeled a little behind me.
"Over there," I said turning and handing the binoculars to Donnie.
He took a look before nodding and I leapt onto the next train car. We moved silently over the tops of the train cars. As we passed by I threw darts at the guards, taking them out. I jumped onto a particularly wide car and looked down at the men patrolling back and forth. Leaning down I pulled out two darts and waited for them to walk back towards me when they stopped. Flattening myself against the roof of the car I watched as they listened to their radios. The sound was full of static and I tried to listen to what the person on the other side was saying. The guards put their radios away and headed further right. Standing up I signaled for the others to follow and continued after the guards. They weaved through the cars at a fast pace and were soon joined by the other guards. They marched at the same pace looking like clones with their similar uniforms and builds. Reaching the last car I held up and fist and stopped the others behind me. The uniforms marched on forward until they stopped in a large crowd. Behind them was a gleaming black train that looked like a subway train. Another uniform stood in front of the whole crowd with a scowl on his face.
"What are you waiting for? You know what to do!" he shouted.
The uniforms dispersed around the train and positioned themselves. My eyes narrowed, this would be harder then I thought.
Leo's POV
The guards gave me blank stares. The smirk fell from my face and I sighed before pulling my katana out. These guys were more stupid than I thought. Their eyes widened and they raised their weapons. With a quick strike I cut the barrels of their guns in half. Sheathing my katana I held up my hands and beckoned them forward. The one in the middle raised the rest of his gun like a club and ran at me. I kicked him in the stomach making him double over. Grabbing his wrists I swung him around into one of the others. They fell in a crumpled heap against one of the cars.
The last guard held his broken gun to his chest. We circled each other waiting for the other to make a move. The guard finally ran forward keeping his gun close to his chest. I stood still and waited for him. He moved to the right and I followed him only for him to move left and kick me in the shoulder. I staggered sideways and turned to see him try to club me with his gun. I ducked and weaved around his attacks trying to find an opening. Ducking under another swing at my head I noticed his wide stance. The gun came around again and I flipped backwards. The guard swung at my head again and I ducked and swept one of his legs out. The guard fell in the splits and dropped his gun. Kicking it away I pushed the guard backwards where he lay sprawled on the ground.
I climbed onto the roof of one of the cars and looked around the train yard. Bright lights illuminated the far right of the train yard. Shrugging my shoulders I moved towards the light, feeling like a moth. On my way I spied the guards lying on the ground, darts sticking out of their shoulders or necks. At least I was on the right track. I reached the last car and looked at the scene with mild surprise. The train was sleek and expensive. The guards were positioned around it with their guns ready.
I scanned the horizon and caught sight of four shadows jumping on the cars in a wide arc around the train. Following behind them I kept an eye on the guards. It was unnerving to me how much they looked like each other. Shaking my head I looked back ahead of me and the shadows had, once again, disappeared. I let out an exasperated sigh. Following the cars around I approached the expensive black train. Taking a deep breath I blew it out and focused on being silent and undetectable. Leaping lightly I landed silently on the roof of the train, careful not to slip on the shiny surface. I paused and when nothing happened let out a breath. A loud alarm sounded in my ears making me jump in surprise. Looking below I saw the guards running around and pointing to where I stood.
Growling I looked around the shiny surface and found a service hatch. I pulled it open and dropped down into a car. Looking around I noticed the wooden crates piled to the ceiling. They were short and long with an insignia printed on the top. An eagle was holding a triangle with a globe in the middle of a circle. The outside read EPF Earth Protection Force. Pulling out one of my katana I approached the nearest crate and pried off the lid. My mouth dropped at what was inside. Lined up four to a crate were black, egg shaped, metal cases. Reaching in I picked one up and the egg trembled before turning white. I dropped it in surprise before picking it up again and examining the outside. The metal was gone and the outside felt like flesh. I put the egg under my arm and walked towards the door between cars. The familiar clash of flesh on flesh rang through the metal and I narrowed my eyes. Securing the egg under my arm I pulled out my katana with the other and kicked the door open before jumping through.
Harley's POV
I lead the others across the train tops to the large train in the center. The bright lights surrounding the train shielded us from the guard's view. Smirking I jumped off of the last train car before the train. I was jerked backwards onto the train car. Looking behind me I saw Donnie release my bow. He reached into his bag and pulled out an old spray paint can. I was about to snap at him when he placed a finger over his lips. My mouth snapped shut and I watched him spray whatever was in the can over the surface of the train. Slowly a grid of red sensor beams appeared around the roof of the train. Turning to Donnie who was returning the can to his bag I whispered as quietly as I could.
"How did you know that was there?" I asked. He shrugged.
"I didn't but if they went to this much trouble I though they would spare no expense," he whispered back.
"Well what now?" Jade asked from behind Donnie. My gaze swept the area.
"There," I pointed to an open door that guards were loading crates into.
"Are you crazy? There are a bunch of guards there!" Raph exclaimed.
I rolled my eyes and dropped down in between the train cars. The others landed behind me and I took off back around the way we came. Once we reached the front of the train I watched the guards load more crates before walking off to get more. I motioned for the others to go and they ran past me and jumped into the car. As each turtle passed I took count. When Leo didn't follow the others I looked around the train car. He wasn't there. Panic started to rise in my chest. What if he had been captured?
"Harley! What are you doing? Come on!" Jade whisper-yelled from the car.
I shook my head and ran back to the others. Leo could take care of himself, I was sure of it. Once inside we ducked behind the crates as more guards appeared with crates. I looked around the car at the stacks of them. Each one was tall and thin with an insignia on the side. EPF was within a large circle. Looking to the other side of the car I met Raph's gaze. He pointed to one of the crates and mouthed 'same logo'. I nodded and turned back to the guards standing outside the car.
"Is that everything?" one asked.
"Yes that was the last of the crates," the other replied.
"Alright well we better get ready to leave," the first one said.
He pulled the car door closed and locked it. The guard's voices were scarily similar. Standing up I walked up to the door that separated this car from the next. The handle turned smoothly and the door opened soundlessly. We walked through and into the next car. It looked like a larger version of Donnie's lab. The sides were lined with counters that were covered in notes and solutions in test tubes. Pushed into the far corner were glowing blue rings moving up and down. I moved closer and something inside growled in response. Stepping back I examined the rings more closely. Inside was what looked like a saber-toothed tiger, but it was standing on two legs and had long fur running down its back like hair.
"What is this place?" Jade asked.
"A laboratory. But I'm sure you have deduced that already," a male voice replied.
I whirled around and glared in the direction the voice came from. A man stepped out into the artificial light. He was tall and looked in his mid thirties. His dark hair was cut close to his head and his eyes were covered with glasses. He was tall and dressed like an office worker. A black jacket covered his white shirt and black tie and reached his ankles.
"Who are you?" I asked sternly.
"Well I don't think I've had the pleasure," he replied, his smirk growing. He held out a hand as if to shake mine. "My name is Bishop of the Earth Protection Force and you?"
Yep! Even though Shredder is gone someone else will take his place in the turtle's list of enemies! Tell me what you thought! See you next week!
