Chapter 10
Old Steel Mill
Mikey and Raph were making their way to their position while keeping an eye out for foot ninjas that might be hiding in the shadows. When they got to their position they hid so that they would not be seen and waited for the signal to attack. Mikey, being bored because he had to wait decided to ask Raph something that had been on his mind for a while.
"So, what do u think about Leo and Electra?" Mikey asked.
"Well, they seem like a perfect match, both are nothing but train-ahollics" Raph snorted.
"Yea but they seem happy together, Maybe she'll get Leo to lighten up a little?" Mikey teased.
"Yea, if anyone needed to get laid to relax a little it was him" Raph laughed. After having their little laugh they went back to being quiet, while praying that April was ok. This time it was Raph who broke the silence.
"I hope April is ok" Raph thought out loud.
"Don't worry bro, I'm sure she is ok, and this time we are gonna kick the shit out of the shredder" Mikey agreed.
"I swear if he hurt her we're gonna make him wish he had never been born!" Raph steamed.
Don and Casey were already in position waiting for Leo to give the signal, Don could make out his other two brothers in the shadows and was grateful that they had not run into any foot ninjas on the way. So far so good Donny thought to himself as he and Casey waited. Don was looking down as he saw April being held captive, she looked unharmed for where he was sitting but he was anxious to get down there and make sure that his friend was indeed ok.
Leonardo and Electra made it to their position and Leo was also glad that none of his brother had ran into trouble getting into position. Leo looked at Electra and knew that if anything happen to her under his watch he would never forgive himself. He had to make sure that she stayed safe. From his spot Leo could clearly see that they were by far out numbered, not to mention that the Shredder was also down there as well. Leo also knew that before he went down there he had to tell Electra how he felt about her if he never go the chance to again.
Leo turned to Electra and took hold of her hand and lifted her head so that he could look into her eyes, "Promise me that you will stay by my side, I do not want to lose you"
"I promise, I do not want to lose you either, but I have to set things right and this is my chance" Electra said.
"Listen, I know I have not said this but I think now is as good as time as any, Electra I-I love you" Leo said blushing.
Electra just smiled and cupped his face with her free hand and kissed him. After a moment of passion she pulled back and looked at him, " I love you too".
"Now me must go and save your friend" Electra said calmly and collected.
"Yes, I know" Leo agreed. Leo gave the signal to his brothers and then he jumped down right in front of the Shredder and his men while Electra made her way behind the Shredders men to where April was being held.
The Shredder stood like a statue as the four turtles landed in front of him. Behind his mask he was smirking, Finally it ends Shredder thought to himself. Leo and the other drew their weapons and waited for the Shredder to make the first move. Shredder just stood there for a moment, then it hit him and he asked the turtles;
"So where is your lover, Electra? Did she finally wise up and take off because she knew she was not getting paid or did she leave because you disgust her, I mean really how could she kiss a freak!" Shredder laughed, trying to get under the skin of the turtles.
"Its none of your concern Shredder, we are here now release April and let her go, this is between us!" Leo yelled to the Shredder.
"Very well she is of no importance to me, nothing more than bait" Shredder hissed at Leonardo. Then as his foot ninjas were about to cut her loose Shredder held up his hand to stop them.
"However, she has help you turtles foil my plans before, therefore she is also my enemy, I think that I will kill her now and make you all watch then kill the rest of you" Shredder said coldly. Before he could walk over to her Leonardo reached in his belt pouch and grabbed a handful of throwing stars and threw them at the Shredder, one hitting him in his arm that was unprotected by armour, which ended up drawing blood. Shredder hissed and grabbed his arm and turned back towards the turtles with hatred burning in his eyes.
"Kill them all, leave no one alive!!!" Shredder yelled to his men and they instantly charged the turtles.
Electra silently made her way to April and in one quick movement knocked out both guards that were holding her. Kneeling down she grabbed April and started to carry her to safety when her path was blocked by four more ninjas. Electra laid April down gently and pulled out her sais as they advanced on her. It didn't take much to dispose of the ninjas since they were nothing more than flunkeys in her opinion. After beating the foot ninjas she grabbed April and made their way to safety.
"Don't worry I am getting you out of here" Electra said to April.
"Thanks, I'm fine I can walk" April said to Electra.
"So, you and Leo huh?" April smirked, "Mikey and Raph told me that Leo was seing someone but its good to finally meet the person that made Leo fall in love" she finished.
"Thanks, I think, I have to get back to the guys, Splinter will be here in a moment to help you, now I must go" Electra said, bowing she left quickly to join Leo and his brothers who were already having enough trouble with all of Shredders foot ninjas.
Raph and Mikey were back to back, taking out all the foot ninjas that came at them but they had been in many battles before and knew that they were trying to wear them down by shear numbers.
"Just need to catch my breath" Raph said out loud as he knocked out another ninja that came at him.
"You would think these guys would know when to give up and go home" Mikey laughed as he swung and connected with a foot ninjas head with his nunchuck.
"Do you see Donny and Leo anywhere?" Raph asked, blocking another attack and stabbing the foot in the chest with is sai, killing him instantly.
"Yea, Casey and Don are together cracking some serious skulls and Leo is over there" Mikey said pointing to where Leo was fighting.
The Shredder was tired of seeing his men fall to the turtles so he decided to take action and kill the turtles himself. He stalked his way to where Leo was fighting his men and swung down with all his might, trying to kill Leo quickly with his guatlet. Leonardo turned just in time to see the Shredder try ti strike him down and quickly flipped out of the way to avoid the blow and raised his swords towards the Shredder, preparing for another attack.
"I shall enjoy killing each and everyone of you green freaks!!" Shredder hissed.
The Shredder looked to where April was supposed to be held and noticed all of the guards were either dead or unconscious. Then he turned to see Electra jump down and stab another one of his ninjas through the neck. He turned to her and ran at her but Leonardo was to quick and got in his way and used the Shredders own forward momentum to throw him into a crowd of his own men.
The Shredder got back to his feet and locked eyes with Leonardo. "I will personally make you watch all of your brothers die then your lovely Electra will be next.!" Shredder hissed.
"Shredder, I am personally sending you straight to Hell!!!" Leo yelled as he charged the Shredder. Leonardo swiped at the Shredder abut the shredder side stepped and kicked Leo in the side sending him in to ground about ten feet away. Leo got back to his feet quick enough to dodge an attack by the Shredder and slashed his right leg with his katana. The Shredder staggered back and grabbed his leg and locked eyes with Leo again.
"Looks like I draw first blood, Shredder" Leonardo hissed. Getting into his stance and waited for the Shredder to attack Shredder charged at him again and faked a round house kick to the mid-section and followed it up with a back fist to Leonardo's chest, using his guatlet to to cut into his Plastron. This time Leo stumbled back and fell to one knee clutching his chest.
Electra saw Leo fall to one knees and raced over to him, killing any foot ninja that got in her way. When she got to his side he tried to put himself between Electra and the Shredder but Electra quickly moved in front of him as the Shredder approached them both.
"How sweet, you both can die together" Shredder laughed as he raised his arm ready to strike down Electra and Leonardo. "I will not let you harm anyone else you sick bastard!!" Electra yelled and blocked the strike with her sais. The Shredder tried to use his shear force to make Electra drop to one knee but as she did this she performed a leg sweep and as the Shredder fell she used a spinning leg kick to the Shredder's face to momentarily knock him out cold.
Taking this opportunity, Electra picked up Leonardo and tried to get him to safety. She looked back at his brothers to see how they were fairing and it looked like they were about done with all of the foot ninjas. Even Casey was making quick work of the foot ninjas that came his way.
"Raphael, we need to get Leonardo out of here!" Electra yelled. Raph looked over to Electra and seen her holding his brother and saw that he was indeed in need of medical attention.
"On it, Mikey, Don we're getting out of here, cover us!" Raph ordered his two brothers.
"You got it!" Don answered.
As Electra made her way to Donny and Mikey for safety they did not notice the Shredder getting back to his feet. The Shredder picked up one of the swords that was laying on the ground next to one of his now dead ninjas and charged Electra and Leo from behind. Leo looked back in time to see the Shredder coming toward them and right as the Shredder to to them Leo threw Electra to the ground just at the Shredder stabbed him in his midsection.
"NOOOO!!!!"
