Chapter 21: Castle Attack
"Where is he Belle?" He said into his earpiece as he ran through the dark, endless corridors looking for Slash.
"Slash will either be in his bedroom or his throne room, your not far from the throne room but I don't know where his bedroom is." Belle replied. Raphael began opening many different doors randomly in hopes of finding the evil king.
The mutant turtle pushed open one of the doors and saw that it was a royal Gothic bedroom.
It had a large queen size red silk bed, a humongous window, a weapons closet full of ninja weapons, an actual closet full of clothes, a black sofa, black coffee table and a nightstand by the bed. Raph started looking through draws and searching the room for anything that told him that this was Slash's room.
Suddenly he saw something on the nightstand.
The red masked turtle walked over to the nightstand and picked the thing up. It was a picture of him and Leo on their wedding day, but it had been ripped in half and he was missing from the photo.
"Raph, I've located Slash's throne room! It's just at the end of the corridor your on." Belle exclaimed. Raph put the photo back on the nightstand and ran towards the throne room...
"HOW LONG DO YOU THINK UNCLE RAPH WILL BE!?" Riley and the others along with the members of the resistance were struggling to hold off the soldiers in the dungeon. Dylan Jones bashed two soldiers away from his twin sister who they were about to ambush.
"Would you relax, We have no reason to worry." He reassured calmly.
Suddenly one of Slash's soldiers threw a grenade at one of the support beams. Soon the entire wood support in the dungeon went up in flames and the enemy retreated.
"Can we worry now!?" Jessie cried as the place started to collapse around them. Dil gulped.
"Yep. Now's good."...
Raph kicked the throne room doors open and ran inside. He skidded to a halt however when he noticed that there was no one sat in the throne. All of a sudden the doors slammed shut and a click told Raphael that he was locked in. All the torches in the room suddenly burst into flames, giving the room a red like glow.
A cold, dark and mocking laugh rang through the air around him.
"Raphael, I'm so pleased to see that you have excepted my invitation." Slash's voice echoed through out the room.
"Where's April and Casey?!" Raph spat.
"I have no idea, I just told my captain of the guard to do whatever he wished with them." The evil king laughed.
"YA FOOL! DO YA HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YER HAVE DONE?!" Raph cried. Suddenly the red masked turtle found himself getting kicked in the stomach and into a wall.
"Yes. I took your family away and now I can put an end to you once and for all." The armoured turtle hissed as he stood in the middle of the thrown room. Raph growled as he rose to his feet.
"Look very closely at this face Slash, 'cause it's tha last thing ya'll ever see!"...
"MOVE IT YOU GUYS!" Ace cried. They ran as fast as they could to get out of the burning dungeon.
"We're running as fast as we can!" Jessie shouted to her younger brother.
"Stop fighting and keep moving!" Mikey ordered. The orange masked turtle was carrying two young child on his shoulder that they had rescued from the dungeon. The rest of the resistance were carrying a few slaves as well. But there was hardly anyone locked in the dungeon and thankfully the dungeon was not joined to the castle...
Back in the throne room Raph and Slash were having a stand off.
"Slash, ya were once a respected king, a hero ta humans, mutants and aliens everywhere. 18 years ago I was a different turtle, I had everythin' I could want, a lovin' mate and a beautiful son named Caleb." Raph sighed at the memory. "But anger and jealousy consumed ya, ya wanted what I had."
He felt his blood boil at the memories.
"YA TOOK EVERYTHIN' THAT I LOVE AND YA STILL HUNT ME DOWN! NOW WE END THIS!" The red masked turtle shouted in rage. The two turtles then charged at one another. Slash attempted to punch Raph in the gut but the smaller turtle leapt into the air and kicked Slash in the back of the head.
He then tried to stab the king with his wolverine-like-claws but Slash moved out of the way in time.
The tyrant swung his mase at Raph, who managed to block the attack with his sais, however Slash was able and knock one of the sais out of Raph's hand. The larger turtle then tried to stabbed Raphael with his claws. But thankfully Raph dodged it.
"Why won't ya stop this madness?!" Raph exclaimed.
"You took Leonardo from me!" Slash shouted and unsheathed the rest of his claws.
"He never loved ya!" The green eyed turtle glared and shot a rope at Slash, lassoing his rival. Raph tried to shoot Slash with the poison Belle had given him. However, Slash managed to release on of his arms and smack the gun out of Raph's hand and to the other end of the room.
Raph still managed to hang onto the rope that trapped Slash.
"Ya never had anythin' but ya hatred and if ya kill me ya'll have nothin'!" He shouted. Slash broke through the rope and attempted to stab Raph. But the red masked turtle jumps out the way in time. Slash stood up straight and laughed.
"That Raphael is where you are wrong, you took something from me so I took something from you. Your son."...
