As Leo walked out with Karai trailing behind him, he noticed her press a small little button on her wall.
So, maybe I can't trust her, Leo thought. Maybe I can avoid anyone who comes along if she has betrayed me. I'll be on my guard.
"I will go to my father, Leonardo." Karai said as she began to head for a hallway.
"What should I-" Leo began.
"Stay there, act normal and put your mask on, I know The Foot have been informed of what you look like." Karai ordered and disappeared around a corner.
"Alright, just be on your guard, Leo," Leo muttered to himself. As if on cue, Leo heard someone behind him.
Leo wheeled around to come face to face with the four Elite Guards.
"Thought you were safe, didn't you, Leonardo? You've made our job a lot easier. Mistress Karai may have saved you that one time, but she is loyal to The Shredder. Even you should know that." One taunted, stepping forward, raising his deadly sharp weapon, preparing it to enter the small boy's body.
"Shell," Leo muttered before dodging the oncoming blade.
Before Leo could run, the one with the axe appeared in front of him in a cloud of smoke. Leo could feel the triumphant smile from under the mask. "Bring him to the Master. He will be very useful."
No! Leo's mind screamed. This isn't happening.
Before the Elite could grab him, Leo faked to the left before making a desperate dive to the right. Leo felt the hilt of a blade slam into his back, sending him flying to the ground on his stomach. Leo gasped for breath as he scrambled to his feet.
He looked up to see the Elite towering over him. Leo knew he would have to think of something fast or else he would surely die along with his brothers.
Let's put this small size to good use. Leo thought just before he dove in between the legs of an Elite and sprinted around the corner.
Leo looked for a place to hide. He noticed a group of Foot Ninja heading the opposite way.
It's my only chance, Leo thought as he quickly joined the group.
A few passed him a glance before one asked, "Did Master Shredder assign you to look for Leonardo?"
Leo nodded quickly. Thankfully, The Foot Ninja didn't ask about his height.
Leo's heart pounded to a stop when the Elite rounded the corner and stopped their group of Foot Ninja.
"Have you seen any sign of Leonardo in this hallway?" The one with the axe asked. "He ran this way,"
"No, none here, we are checking the containment area to see if he went to rescue his brothers now." The one who had questioned him said.
The Elite nodded, but not before passing Leo a glance. "You,"
Leo's heart was beating out of his chest as he stepped forward. "Yes?" Leo deepened his voice as low and real as he could.
"Take off your mask." He ordered.
Leo froze, take off his mask? He couldn't, but if he didn't, then the Elite would probably take it off themselves.
Try to make your face as unrecognizable as possible. Leo thought, he brought he cheeks in a little and as he took off the mask, tried to get as much hair in his face as possible.
The Elite with the spear stepped forward and examined the scared ninja before murmuring something to one of the Foot Ninja. "Watch this one,"
At the very moment he could, Leo pulled the mask back over his face. He had to contain a sigh of relief as he stepped back into the group of Foot Ninja.
Leo then remembered the Foot Ninja had said. This group was going to lead him right to his brothers.
Leo walked through hallway after hallway. He knew he was getting close because of the increased number of Foot Ninja watching the area.
The group of Foot Ninja Leo had been using as a shield stopped at the entrance to the main cells... one of which, contained three mutant turtles.
Leo would've snuck away if not for the constant gaze of the ninja the Elite had talked to.
After five minutes that seemed like an eternity, the one Foot Ninja pulled Leo to the side.
"Look, Leonardo, I know it's you." Leo's heart stopped. "I know because i watched your transformation because i gave you the formula. Listen to me and listen to me good. Get out of here. You can't keep this up forever. Just leave."
Leo's emotions swirled around in his head. Anger, frustration, thankfulness that the Ninja didn't turn him into the Elite.
"But my brothers..." Leo began,
"I'm still loyal to the Shredder, it's just I want you to have a chance at life. I can still turn you in. I might even if you don't get out." The ninja's voice dropped to a cold, threatening hiss.
Leo glared at the ninja before turning and disappearing into the shadows of a secluded hallway that led towards the exit.
Leo watched for minutes before walking back into a separate group of Foot.
"Let's go to the lab to check there." Leo heard one of them say.
The formula and the lock for the cell! Leo thought, excitedly.
They walked into the lab and began to thoroughly search it. Leo, remembering where it was decided to check that place first. He saw the flask and grabbed it while keeping a low profile.
Leo searched near Stockman's computer next. Leo saw a lock combination scratched on a piece or paper. On it read 'Lock number for cell 28'
Leo's thoughts drifted back to when he first saw the cell. What number was it? Leo remembered the first number being a two, all he could hope for was that the second number was an eight.
He grabbed the piece of paper and walked out of the room, thankfully unnoticed.
Leo was finally having some luck with this. Now all he had to do was get to his brothers.
Leo made his way through hoards of Foot Ninja before finally having the entrance to the main cells in view. The number of Foot Ninja were too many to count.
Leo knew he would have to get there... one way or another. What would he be able to use? Leo remembered the Foot Tech and thought back to where the Shredder showed him the suits. Unfortunately, all the extra suits were in the Shredder's main room which was most likely crawling with Foot and possibly the Shredder himself so that was out of the question.
Leo realized that he would just have to rely on his ninja skills because anything else would cause risks that couldn't be taken lightly.
He took a deep breath before making his way through the crowds of Foot. He got to the entrance and snuck in.
The (thankfully) shaded hallway provided fair hiding, at least, enough to get him to cell 28. Leo looked in to see his brothers there, looking miserable. The sight of them broken broke Leo's heart yet at the same time fueled his need to defeat the Shredder and save his family.
Leo typed in the pass lock that, unfortunately, was very long... less time to get his brothers out.
The door finally opened and he walked in. The looks from Raph, Don and Mikey tore his heart out more. Their looks were looks of pure loathing.
"What do you want?" Raph hissed.
"Come to beat us more?" Don glared daggers at Leo.
"Come to strip us of what little family we have left?" Mikey asked, his voice cracked out of the mention of death.
"No, I'm here to get you out." Leo removed the mask to receive shocked and slightly unbelieving looks from his brothers.
"This is a cruel trick." Don whispered.
"No, Donnie, it's me, Leo. They said I was dead, Shredder thought I was, but people helped me. I swear to you it's me... I have the same scars. Look at my eyes and tell me what you see." Leo prayed desperately that they would believe him after all he went through.
"Come here." Raph said. Leo walked over there. Raph looked him square in the eyes before whispering, "my gosh, it's you... Leo!"
"I have to get you out of here." Leo said as he reached for his katana to slice them free.
"Leo..." Mikey had tears streaming down his face, staring at his eldest brother with eyes that had never been so happy.
"The Shredder, does he still not know?" Don asked, smiling, yet concerned for the fact that they were still in Foot HQ.
"Unfortunately, he found out. We have to..."
"Leo! GET DOWN!" Raph screamed.
The nine year old ducked just in time to avoid a katana that would have decapitated him.
Leo spun around to see about thirty five Foot Ninja standing there and the Elite right in the front.
"Shell." Leo muttered.
"Alert Master Shredder." The Elite commanded before approaching the boy who held his katana in a death grip.
The dance began. Leo dodged, kicked and occasionally cut his way out of the cell room away from his brothers. As much as the nine year old tried to hold his ground, he was soon driven against the wall.
"This is the end for you." The Elite hissed.
Leo needed a plan. He remembered the formula he had in his suit. He grabbed it drank it. After a second, Leo felt his bones begin to grow. It was agonizing pain as he felt his bones rearrange. The Elite took the opening and brought his axe down towards the transforming human.
Wow! Long and quite confusing chapter! If you think I need to rewrite it, just say the word in the reviews and your wish shall be granted :)
Love you all :) peace out
