Chapter 19
"Leo" Rico came into the dojo sulking interrupting Leo from his meditation "I don't think I can wait anymore. I have to tell him… about you"
Leo nodded his head understanding the whole situation "What happened Rico?" he asked when he noticed his friend nearly in tears
"It- its Tony he… he threatened to leave me this morning" at that he broke down
"Oh Rico, why didn't you tell him earlier"
"I don't know, I love him, but you guys are family. I don't know what he'll say or do"
"I know you're worried about us and you want to protect us, but I don't want you to"
"I can't help it. Seeing how many enemies you have, it's hard not to"
"Bring him here okay… don't worry about anything"
He shuddered and nodded "Thank you"
"Now head home and make sure he stays there"
"I'll bring him here tonight
Rico stood up and walked out of the dojo just in time to see Vanessa wandering around the lair looking rather… bored. He shook his head and started heading back home
"Hey Auntie" Dirk called stopping her in her tracks "What's wrong, you are walking around aimlessly"
"Nothing I'm… just so bored. I need to go out, I'm going stir crazy"
"Then why don't you just go out" Erica asked
"Oh please your uncle would never allow that. Not while I'm with child"
"Well where is he?"
"Down at the junkyard looking for spare parts for his new invention"
"What if we went with you? You won't be by yourself at least" Dirk suggested
Mason walked out of Don's lab after hearing the whole conversation
"What were you doing in there?"
"That's not important right now" Mason said "Let's just go we'll call Uncle Don later and tell him what's up alright"
"… okay, go put some clothes on" The teenagers cheered and headed up the stairs while they did this Mason called up his uncle
"Hello" he heard Don say
"Hey Unc guess what, we're going out"
"Um… okay, it's fine with me"
"And we're taking your wife with us" he added that last part really quick and waited
"No you're not"
"Come on Unc she's bored, we're bored let us go we'll watch over her I promise"
"I don't know, she shouldn't be out"
"Says you Unc" Mason chuckled "If she doesn't leave soon she'll go stir crazy, I've seen her when she gets stir crazy… it's not a pretty sight" he heard him sigh then he turned the phone on speaker so Erica and Dirk could listen
Dirk finally said something "Listen Uncle Don, I know you're worried and wish you were back down here right now, but we swear that we'll keep her safe" he still didn't say anything "We may not be ninjas, but the overprotective, survival instincts will kick in. It's in our blood; she's going to be fine. No matter what" he reassured
Don groaned "Fine… you can go"
"Thanks Uncle" with that he hung up
"Nice one bro"
"Thank you"

A little later on at Rico's
"So are you ready to tell me what's going on?" Tony asked when he saw Rico with his case in his hand. He crossed his arms and stared
"Yeah…" he motioned for him to sit on the couch "Listen Tony I love you so much"
"And I love you" Tony said quickly "Now start off by telling me what's in that case"
"Right" he set the case down on the floor and opened it, pulling out his weapon "This is called a pudao it's my ninja weapon of choice. I have been training with Sierra's husband Leonardo for over ten years now" he continued "And I haven't told you about him because he's…" he froze and looked out the window. He sensed someone was… watching them. He stood up slowly
"Rico, what's going on?"
He quickly shushed and motioned for him to follow "Stay close" he whispered and headed for the door. Outside was quiet, but he could still feel like someone was there… a lot of someones.
"Stay here, I'll be right back" Rico climbed the fire escape of the apartment next to theirs. Tony has never seen him move like that. He never touched the ladder and disappeared over the ledge. He was curious he wanted to know what was up there. So naturally he followed him, not the same exact way, but still effective. Once at the top he saw Rico in a fighting stance and a bunch of other people in black ready to fight him "Rico, who are they?"
Rico seemed startled at first, but then his face turned into a look of concern and worry "What are you doing up here Tony?" he asked not taking his eyes off the one hundred or so ninja in front of him "Never mind, no time for that" he reached into his pocket for his phone "Take this and call Leo" as soon as he said this the ninja started attacking. Rico charged at them taking out the first couple of ninja within reach. Tony climbed down off the ledge so he was sitting on the fire escape. Looking through his phone he found the name and pressed the call button. He waited… and waited… and waited until…
"Hey Rico, you're late for training"
"Um, this isn't Rico, this is Tony"
"Uh hello Tony, what's going on?" he asked sounding a little nervous now
"I have no idea Rico is on the roof fighting a bunch of people in black. Like they were waiting for him"
"Shit" he heard him mutter and then there was lots of shuffling followed by shouting of other people's names "How is he holding up?"
Tony had to peek his head over the ledge and saw that Rico was still standing and still kicking ass, but more kept coming "I'd say pretty good, but there's a lot of them I'm not sure how long he can last before he gets too tired" he ducked his head as Rico kicked one off the roof and landed with a loud bang as he hit the dumpster below
"Alright hang on we're only a few minutes away" he said
"Please hurry" he hung up quickly 'So' he thought 'I'm finally going to meet his teacher'
He waited there for a while not wanting to get in the way of Rico's fighting, but after a few more minutes he looked over ledge again when he heard a grunt. Rico was on his back and was about to get run through by a katana wielding ninja. He rolled out of the way and quickly snapped to his feet. Tony clambered back onto the roof just in time to see a ninja charging at him. Rico looked over to him "Tony… NO" he yelled
With no time to move he shut his eyes and waited for the pain, but it never came. He felt a hand push him to the ground and then a loud clang of metal. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a shell in his face he had one of his swords blocking the other ninja's
"What the…?" he whispered
Leo disarmed the ninja and promptly slit his throat. Two other figures stopped on either side of him, he looked around seeing Melanie and another turtle with a red bandanna
"Melanie get him outta here" Raph told her then blocked another ninjas attack with his sais then ran to help his friends
"Right, come on Tony" the small red head pulled him away from the fight "Stay here" Melanie hid him behind the shed on the roof off to the side. She unsheathed her kunai and went to help the others. When she left, Tony couldn't help himself he had to see what was going on, there was metal clashing together wood making contact with people's faces and other weapons. He even saw Rico kill a few which scared him a little. With the help from everyone else all the ninjas collapsed. Rico took a deep breath and sheathed his weapon on his back "Thanks guys" then called "Tony"
He slowly walked out of his hiding spot, eyeing the giant turtles carefully
"Tony this is Leo" he said "Sensei and one of my closest friends. These are his brothers Don, Raph and Mikey, you remember the girls and the blonde back there is Dimitri"
He didn't really say anything, he kind of stared blankly "I kinda figured this would happen" he mumbled
"Come on, let's get outta here before they send back- up" Don said
Everyone that was there headed back down the building, but Don and Mikey stopped as they remembered something important "Guys, what about Vanessa and my kids?"
They stood there frozen 'Oh God, what if…'
"Now hold on don't panic. Call them" Leo said trying to calm them
Don shakily pulled out his shell cell and dialed her number

Meanwhile in an alley
There inside the alley were four cells, one of them ringing, lying on the floor, but their owners were nowhere in sight.
