Hey, Roxy Goth here. Sorry for the delay, I've had a bit of writers block. But I'm back now.
See chapter 1 for the disclaimer and let's crack on.
Upon Mikey's screech of 'It's moving!', panic descended.
"Okay stay calm!" Leo bellowed, above the hysteria of his brothers. "Use your skills! Fight back!"
None of his brothers actually verbally replied, but Michael leapt in front of the snake and twirled his kusari-fundo quickly in front of the snakes face in order to [hopefully] confuse it, with a merry 'Booyakasha!' as he did so.
While Mikey was doing that, Donnie turned to Raph and started whacking his shoulders with his bo-staff.
"Ow! What are you doing!?" Red snapped as pain bubbled all over his shoulders.
"I'm trying-"
"-Ow-!"
"To get-"
"-Donnie-!"
"You out-"
"-Stop it-!" Raph screamed, feeling his shoulders bruising with every strike.
Leo, who had been watching the scene in a state of semi-shock was brought out of his bemusement by Michael's high-pitched scream of terror.
Turning round, with a speed that would make a cheetah envious, Leo saw that the Mr-Oraku-snake had finally had enough of Mikey's insane spinning skills and had decided to strike at him.
Seeing the snake recoil and prepare to strike again Leo leapt into action, raising his sword and preparing to kill if necessary.

Saki had had enough of his meals attempt to distract him. As he prepared to devour it though, he was aware something coming closer towards him on his right side. Whipping round he saw one of his potential meals descending on him with a sword.
With supreme effort he coiled himself up before launching of to the side with such force he hit a wall.
As he lay on the ground, pain erupting all over him, he cursed the hand that had mutated him.

Leo hadn't expected the snake to change into a slinky, but life always did have a habit of surprising him. As the former Mr Oraku lay on his side looking like a piece of discarded rope, Leo looked round the room slowly before slowly putting his sword away and backing off, whistling a little tune as he did so.
Meanwhile Donnie whacked his bo-staff into Raph's shoulders one more time causing two effects, 1} He was dislodged from the window. 2} He fell backwards onto the ground from a very high drop.
Hearing their brother's yell of pain Donnie, Leo and Mikey ran to the window and looked down to see Red lying on the ground in an un-dignified heap.
"Raph!" Mikey called down, concern evident in his voice. "Can you hear me?" When no answer came, he tried again, this time a bit more urgently. "Talk to me, Raphie!"
Leon leaned further out the window and called down. "Raph! You alive!?"
From the ground Raph, dizzy, disorientated and in general pain all over, managed to raise a hand and give a vague thumbs up in reply.
There was a beat, then Donnie said, airily. "See, he's fine."
To which Leon and Michael turned to him with equal expressions of 'really!?'
Purple looked confused. "What?"
Leo rolled his eyes and waved a hand. "Never mind, twinsie." He said, turning round. "Now what do we do about Mr Snakey over-?" He stopped dead.
Upon seeing the empty space where Mr Oraku had previously been about five minutes ago, Mikey voiced everyone's thoughts. "Where'd he go?"

"I still think we should have followed her home." Munnin said, sulkily.
Huggin took a sharp breath and said, not for the first time. "We know where she lives, nincompoop. I want to see this snake all the humans were talking about."
"The boss will kill us." Munnin moaned.
"The boss will be happy that he has another mutant." Huggin corrected. "Now-ow!" He yelled as Munnin threw his hands around his eyes.
"Look Huggin-!"
"-Get of me!"
"Look, one of the turtles!"
"GET OFF-wait. Did you say 'one of the turtles?' Where? Wait. Why am I asking you? I'm the one with the binoculars." With that he raised the binoculars to his eyes and looked through them.
He saw the big turtle with the spikes on the floor, looking a little worse for wear. Just as he was about to say something to his colleague, his attention was caught by a movement in the door. He focused the binoculars on it and was intrigued to see a jet-black mutant snake with glowing amber eyes and blood-red tongue that was flicking in and out hungrily.
Huggins mouth twisted in a sinister smile. This would be interesting.
