Chapter 14: Blast From The Past
"S-Slash?!" Michelangelo echoed what Grimble had said with a shiver a fear. Casey Jones and the others could only stand there with shocked expressions on their faces. Raph could feel his legs wobble as the name he had hoped never to hear again was spoken.
The kids were told about Slash and what he had done to Raph.
"Yes, it was his men that shot me out the sky and into the forest where the boy found me."
"Wait a second, you work for Slash?" She asked nervously.
"Used to." The old man corrected.
"I hate him and everything that monster has done." He growled.
"Why did he try to kill you?" Riley asked.
"When Slash and his army invaded the small town where I lived 10 years ago I fought back." Grimble growled.
"Slash thought he could use that so he took my family. He promised me that if I followed orders no harm would come to them, and I've been doing his dirty work ever since, but after 5 years I just couldn't work for that thing and I attempted to free my family but I was caught and now I'm on the run." Grimble sighed and looked down and his hands.
Everyone were at lost for words.
Jessie finally stepped forward and placed a reassuring hand on Grimble's shoulder.
"We very sorry for your lose Grimble." She said.
"What is Slash up to?" Raphael growled. The old man sighed sadly.
"He's built an army, powerful enough to take over the entire world." He replied. Raph growled slightly and left the room before he lashed out at something or someone...
After he had left the room Raphael went into his bedroom to meditate. Once he entered the Spirit Realm the scarred turtle went to find his parents. He needed someone to talk to.
"Son? What's tha matter?" Kane asked when he saw the state his only child was in. But Raph didn't say a word. Instead he rammed himself into his father's middle and hugged him. As Raphael sobbed his heart out Kane sighed and returned the hug.
This was gonna be a long night...
