Lori screamed for the world to hear, "I NEVER WANTED THIS!"
Everyone's attention went to Leonardo who charged at Lori, who blocked herself weakly.
She and Leonardo were locked with their weapons tangled together.
Leo growled, "You brought this onto yourself." He pushed her back a bit and lunged back at her.
She jumped and started to run up a column with her katana dragging. She flipped and was behind Leonardo just before her whipped around and lunged at her again.
"I didn't lie! Sure I thought about coming back and I almost did. That day you guys came here I was on my way to say yes to Toung." She was interrupted as Leo kicked her legs from under her. She only had a split second as Leo's swords came down onto her head. She shielded herself with her single katana.
Tears started to slid down her face again, "You guys helped me stay good. I thought about it and decided it was fate that brought you to save me. Then you caught my eye Leo. I couldn't shake the feelings. I had forgotten about Toung! I could only think of you!"
Leonardo grabbed Lori by her neck and glared into her eyes. Hatred reigned there, Lori could see that much. She was done for and the last look she'd see in Leonardo's eyes was this hate.
But boy was she wrong.
The kiss he bestowed upon her was rough and uncaring.
The room around them seemed to un-tense. A thud was heard behind the wall of Foot. Splinter came before Leonardo and Lori as they parted.
The elder sensei looked at the now sneering enemy, "Toung, please call this whole thing off. She has chosen our family over you."
Tai Toung laughed, "Never old foe."
A quick clap and all hell broke loose. Every Foot ninja leapt into action. Raph, Mikey, and Mikey teamed up with Leo, the old team together again. Lori whistled up at Alycia and Ria. The sisters smiled down at her and leapt to her side. Splinter stood on the side-lines, helping out only when necessary.
Tai Toung led each attack, giving orders and shouting insults when the Foot were knocked out. The turtles used their older strategies while girls' team fed off each other. Alycia and Ria had synced up with each other, using each other to knock a few Foot. Lori had thrown her katana away.
"Hey Ria! Come here!"
The ex-Foot ran over to the legend, her hands ready for the 14 year old. In an instant, Ria was flying over everyone's heads. She planted a kick into a Foot's face, knocking the goon out.
Alycia smiled at her sister's victory and yelled to her friend, "What about me?"
Lori smirked and pointed to her back. Alycia made a running start and jumped onto to Lori's back. The moment her feet Lori's skin, she was thrown before Lori, taking out the goons attacking her.
Not all the action was on the girls though. The brothers were kicking butt as per usual. Donatello used his boe as a pole-jump, taking out at least three goons. Raphael was having a ball, using kicks and punches to take down his foes, a wicked smile gracing his lips. Mikey was laughing at his foes, making jokes and using their slowness to his advantage.
Leonardo though was in a heated battle with Tai Toung. The rivals were fighting for the life of Lori. Tai had picked up Lori's discarded katana. All three swords clanged and bashed against each other. The fierceness of the battle became apparent. Each had slashes on their bodies from the foe's successful hits. The heavy breathing was a sign of their battle taking a toll on each of them.
A scream pierced the battling. Each ninja stopped and looked around. A hint of sunlight was a spotlight as Lori staggered. A Foot had stabbed her with his small handled dagger. Alycia was holding her sister back as Lori smiled and coughed. A small amount of blood making its way past her lips. Her stance slowing faded.
Leo raced over to her side, though she was to her knees now.
"Lori?"
Silence.
His brothers and father made their way to him offering to get her home.
Tai Toung smirked. But not for long.
"What's the matter Tai? Toung tied" Lori said slowly, as she stood weakly.
His face registered his disappointment and his disinterest in her comment, "What's the matter Lori? Got an owie?"
Leonardo caught as she started to fall, her family circling her as she glared at the man that brought her to this state, "Ya know? I feel sorry for you. At least I have a family who cares. You have to order someone to care for you. You're pathetic Tai."
Tai growled at her, "I have power. That's all I'll ever need."
One of her eyebrows went high, "Oh really? Good so you won't need help after Leo does this."
Only now did Tai see the turtle holding Lori up was Raphael, so the question was where was the leader? The Foot looked around wildly, looking for an clue where the missing turtle was.
Toung's guess was right as he felt a katana blade touch his neck. A low sentence was whispered into his ear, "This is for my girl."
Ria turned into her sister as Leonardo slashed the older man's neck. Alycia covered her sister's ears and she closed her own eyes as the body slumped to the floor in his own pool of blood.
Leonardo sheathed his katanas as he walked to Lori. Raph stepped back as his brother took over his position.
Leonardo smiled down at Lori, "You gonna be okay?"
Lori smiled back at him, "No." Her eyes rolled back into her head.
