Chapter Twenty-Five

Falling into the Trap

Meanwhile, the turtles were making their way to the throne room. All had managed to stick to the shadows but were unaware that earlier they had been detected.

They soon made it to the throne room doors where they saw several foot ninja guarding the doors.

"Typical!" Raphael snarled "Arashi's got his men protecting him!"

"Agreed Raph." said Michelangelo.

"Coward!" Donatello growled.

Leonardo put his fingers to his lips and held up his katana swords.

"Ok guys," he said "On three..."

The other turtles complied and got ready to pounce.

"One...two...Three!" Leonardo barked then the turtles leapt out of the shadows and attacked the ninja.

The ninja, alarmed and shocked instantly fought back as they unsheathed their weapons and went for the turtles.

It was a short fight as the turtles fought back with every energy and strength they had.

Leonardo slashed and clashed his katana with many ninja who attacked him from all angles.

Donatello spun on his bo staff as well as knocked down several ninja who surrounded him.

Raphael stabbed with his sai and kicked at the ninja who attacked him and Michelangelo swung his nun-chucks and knocked down the ninja that came at him like skittles at a fairground.

As soon as the the ninja were down, the four turtles walked to the doors and Leonardo looked at the others.

"Be prepared for anything!" he said.

Donatello gulped.

"Something's not right guys." he said as he held up his bo staff "If I know Arashi..."

Leonardo looked at Donatello and shook his head.

"Ready guys?" he asked.

The turtles nodded and on the count of three they kicked the doors open.

"Arashi!" Raphael shouted.

At the sound of the doors being kicked open, several ninja appeared and surrounded the turtles who got ready to fight, but the sound of evil laughter and clapping was heard and the ninja stepped aside to see Arashi walking over.

"Clever, clever reptiles." he said calmly "I knew you'd come here first."

Leonardo held up his katana as he watched the evil Foot lord walk forwards.

"You might be clever for humanoid reptiles," said Arashi "But never clever enough to not fall for my traps."

"Don't make us laugh Arashi!" growled Raphael

"How did you know we were here?" asked Michelangelo.

"My ninja are indeed good at spotting freaks trying to break into my headquarters." said Arashi "Even if you and those lizard sluts managed to break into the headquarters despite it being surrounded by many guards, those you hadn't managed to sneak past were able to inform me where you were."

The turtles glared as Arashi insulted Mona and Sephie, Raphael snarled as he gripped his sai.

"Enough of your pointless monologuing!" Leonardo snapped "Where's Tyroth?"

Arashi laughed.

"Ah the Dragon mutant." he said "Needless to say, he's breaking in the dungeon as we speak...Dr Arden's serums have proved some help in bringing down that beast!"

The turtles looked shocked.

"It was quite a pleasure watching such a powerful creature be so helpless in the hands of my good doctor."

Donatello gripped his staff in anger as he thought of what serums the doctor would be using to break Tyroth.

"You have no honour Arashi!" he spat.

Arashi laughed again.

"Good with insults aren't you?" he said "Well let's se if that attitude of yours is still there after I break you!"

As he spoke, he took a sword off his back and the turtle's eyes widened as they saw it was Tyroth's sword.

"What the shell!?" cried Michelangelo.

"That's Tyroth's sword!" cried Raphael "You have no right to be holding that!"

"Quite a beautiful sword..." said Arashi "That was the other thing I tried to get him to talk about...where he got such weapons, such amazing metal could be useful for me and my ninja."

"Enough talk!" Leonardo "Fight!"

Arashi laughed again.

"Very well." he said "I'll bring you all down, and present you to Oroku Saki myself when we finally locate him!"

The turtles felt terror as they heard the name of the Shredder but they instantly sprung into action fighitng the ninja and trying to cut them down so they could get to Arashi.

As the ninja covered their boss, Arashi stepped backwards still holding Tyroth's sword and watched as the turtles fought the ninja.

"This is just the beginners fight freaks..." he said in a low voice "You have no idea what you're about to face next!"

Back in the laboratory, the girls were still fighting Dr Arden, the evil doctor had decided to toy with them for a bit before using any serums just to have a bit of fun.

Dodging a duel attack from Mona and Sephie, he punched Sephie aside causing her to fall senseless and he grabbed Mona's throat and held her up with surprising strength causing her to drop her fans and grab his wrists to try and break free!

"What the...?" Mona choked as she felt her throat getting crushed.

"That's right bitch!" the Doctor taunted "I got the big guy's strength! Perfect serum huh? I also perfected it so it lasts a lot longer than the serums I made before!"

Mona struggled in his grasp and tried to kick and strike with her tail but Dr Arden kept squeezing her throat each time she did.

"Oh how easy it would be to gut you right here!" said Dr Arden "But I think I'll play with you first before that!"

Sephie shook herself trying to shake off stars and looked up to see Dr Arden holding Mona in his grip, Mona was going slightly pale as he was stopping her from breathing properly.

"MONA!" Sephie screamed, she threw one of her daggers at Dr Arden causing it to hit his side and he dropped Mona who gasped and choked on the ground.

Dr Arden cursed as he fell to the ground and tried to wrench the dagger out of his side as Sephie ran to Mona's side and helped her up.

"Thanks." said Mona as she picked up her fans and rubbed her throat.

Dr Arden growled and pulled the dagger out of his side then threw it at Sephie where it impaled her shoulder.

"Have a taste of your own metal bitch!" he mocked.

"SEPHIE!" Mona screamed then jumped up to protect her as Dr Arden aimed for her again.

"Stay away from her!" Mona roared as she fought against Dr Arden's syringes with her fans.

Sephie, grunted in pain as she pulled the dagger out.

Studying her wound, she knew she could heal but it was still painful.

Gripping her dagger she stood up and decided to continue to fight despite her injury.

Mona was managed to stand her ground with Dr Arden but he was now starting to aim at her with his syringed fingers on his left hand which she kept striking away with her fans.

Mona then leaned back on her tail and performed a kangaroo kick at Dr Arden sending him flying back into a table of surgical tools.

"Nice move!" Sephie called out.

Mona turned to face Sephie to check on her and saw she was cradling her shoulder but her wound was healing.

"I'll be ok Mona!" said Sephie before Mona could ask if she was alright "I can still kick that quack's butt!"

Dr Arden meanwhile pulled himself up from the surgical tools table and faced them with a few scalpels between his fingers like ninja stars.

"You think you can take me down bitches?" he asked "I'll strap you both to my table and steal your abilities...though with you Mona...I think I'll be less merciful..."

Mona held up her fans and continued to stand in front of Sephie. Though she knew her friend was strong and was a good fighter, she didn't want to take any chances with the man who cruelly experimented on her.

"We can do this all day Arden!" Mona spat "Give it all you got!"

Dr Arden nodded.

"Very well!" he then threw the scalpels at the girls who deflected them with their weapons and dodged them.

Mona saw Sephie evade the scalpels with the moves she had shown her at the lair on the plum flower poles and she felt a sense of pride for her friend that she was using what Mona had taught her.

As Mona deflected the last scalpel she threw her fan at Dr Arden distracting him as he ducked avoiding it.

"Well done Sephie!" Mona said as she prepared to fight again "You truly have shown to evade attacks! I think you're more than ready to avoid ninja stars in training rather than ping pong balls!"

"Cool!" said Sephie "Well you're the best, Lady Sensei!"

Mona nodded at Sephie, though they were in the middle of battle she hoped in her heart if hearts they would come out of this alive.

Dr Arden jumped up again and held up another scalpel.

"Ok then..." he said "You wanna play rough, do ya?"

"Bring it!" Mona snarled.

"Give it all you got!" Sephie spat as she spun her daggers.

"Very well then!" said Dr Arden and he held up her hands showing the syringes "Time to bring you both down and strapped to my tables!"

Mona's eyes widened as she saw he was ready to stab them with his syringes.

"Shit!" she thought as she got ready to defend Sephie again, if those serums got her, she knew Sephie would be helpless.

Dr Arden aimed for the girls again then began to strike with his syringes, all the while the girls dodged and avoided his attacks.

Sephie managed to evade one attack by doing a backflip before grabbing onto a giant tube using her gecko abilities to an advantage.

As soon as Dr Arden saw that, he smirked.

"I'll enjoy stealing that advantage from you!" he said "The ability to grip without the use of a ladder or climbing tools."

Mona felt her blood boil. All the images of her being subjected to D Arden's tortures dug into her brain like a drill and the thought of Dr Arden doing to Sephie what he had done to her and now Tyroth she felt something snap!

"I'll kill you if you touch her you freak!" she snarled as she ran for Dr Arden screaming but the Doctor did a roundhouse kick and got her in the chest causing her to go flying backwards and into another giant tube where she fell dazed.

"Mona!" cried Sephie as she jumped down, but Dr Arden grabbed her by the throat and pinned her to the tube before holding up a syringe finger before looking over to Mona who was trying to shake off stars.

"I'll deal with you later!" he growled.

He turned his attention to Sephie who struggled in his grip.

"Now I've got you bitch!" he said, his burnt skin wrinkling horribly as he got close to Sephie's face "You'll be perfect for my experiments, with gecko abilities like yours, the ninja can get anywhere they wish!"

"Let go!" Sephie cried grimacing at the close up of the burnt skin "Let go you bastard!"

"Shut up!" Dr Arden said as he lowered the syringe to Sephie's neck "This serum will make you nice and sleepy!"

"Get off me!" Sephie screamed as she tried to push Dr Arden's arm away, but due to the super strength serum Dr Arden had injected himself with, it was proving next to impossible!

Just then, the doors of the laboratory opened and an animalisic roar was heard!

Dr Arden stopped what he was doing and looked over his shoulder to see Tyroth standing at the door, he was glowing red almost like he was on fire and his eyes were glowing blood red and his teeth were exposed.

"ARDEN!" he shouted.

Sephie, as soon as she saw her lover, she felt so relieved, but when she saw the state she was in, her stomach gave a frightened jolt!

Dr Arden let go of Sephie in shock and alarm at the sight of the berserker fuelled Dragon and the gecko girl instantly crawled over to Mona who still lay there dazed and held her close.

"YOU!" Dr Arden cried in horror "How did you? Is it possible?"

"DR ARDEN!" Tyroth snarled "You stole my DNA! You tortured me! You tried to find out sercrets! You hurt Sephie! You will die for this!"

Dr Arden, even though he was confronted by a giant anger fuelled Dragon he wasn't going to give up without a fight.

Flexing his syringe fingers, the evil doctor faced Tyroth, seeing the angered mutant, he felt fearful, but he did not show it.

"I took you down once Dragon!" he barked "I'll take you down again!"

Tyroth growled at Dr Arden.

"Bring it on!" he snarled "You'll pay for what you've done to me!"

He flew towards Dr Arden and before Dr Arden had a chance to fire his syringes, Tyroth impaled his large claws into the evil Doctor's side and chest.

Dr Arden yelled in agony as the claws impaled him, yet he tried to fight Tyroth, but no matter how many times he tried to stab the infuriated Dragon, he couldn't bring him down as he seemed immune to all his serums.

Tyroth growled again then ripping his left hand out of Dr Arden's side, he grabbed the Evil Doctor's throat and stabbed him over and over with his claws before finally throwing him backwards in some metal shelves where the evil doctor collided with such force they collapsed and many sharp tools and serums along with chemicals fell on top of him and buried him underneath.

Staring at the mess of broken glass, metal and spilled serums all over the floor Tyroth glared as he was certain the evil doctor was dead and crushed.

"Good riddance!" he growled, as he got his breath back he slowly began to calm down and the glow around his body dimmed.

He turned around and saw Sephie and Mona by the giant tubes on the other side of the laboratory and ran over.

"Sephie!" he cried as tears fell from his eyes seeing his beloved again, he ran over and dropped to his knees as he held her close to him.

"Are you two alright?" he asked.

"We're ok..." said Sephie "If not a little bruised."

"I'll live." said Mona as she clicked her neck.

"Oh Sephie! I thought I'd never see you again!" Tyroth said as tears streamed from his eyes.

"Likewise!" cried Sephie gripping her lover tightly around his neck, "I couldn't let you be subjected to those cruel tortures! I couldn't just sit there and let Dr Arden do those things to you!"

Tyroth said nothing but held her close, so happy to feel her in his arms again, her her sweet voice and smell that warm scent in her hair.

"You have a relentless lover there Tyroth." said Mona, causing the two to look at her "I have to say, if it wasn't for Sephie, me and the turtles would never had gotten in here!"

Tyroth hugged Sephie close again then looked back at Mona.

"You ok?" he asked "You look pretty dazed."

"I'll be ok." said Mona "I've been thrown about before." she stood up and picked up her fans before putting them in her belt.

"Listen." she said "We have to find the others, they've gone looking for Arashi!"

"Arashi!" Tyroth cried as he went pale.

Mona felt her blood run cold as she saw the look n Tyroth's face.

"What is it?" she asked.

"When I was in the dungeon, Arashi and Dr Arden found out you guys had gotten in! Dr Arden went after you girls, but Arashi went to hide in wait for the turtles!" said Tyroth "I don't know exactly what! But we gotta help them!"

Mona went pale as she thought of what Arashi had planned for her mate and adopted brothers.

"Well what are we waiting for?" cried Sephie taking her daggers "We gotta get there now!"

"They'll be in throne room!" said Tyroth "Arashi said that's where they were heading!" he jumped up and walked over to a couple of tables where many syringes were lined.

"What are you doing?" asked Mona.

"These serums are the ones Dr Arden made from my DNA! If we're gonna face Arashi, he might be using the clones of me to fight the turtles! We're gonna need some assistance."

"Huh?" asked Sephie.

"What?" asked Mona.

Tyroth held up some syringes, the ones in his right hand had the Super strength serum and the other was the super healing serum.

"Look, even though Dr Arden extracted my DNA forcefully, if I were to give my abilities to anyone, it would be the ones I loved and cared about, and those people are you, Sephie, Mona, and the turtles, you need these abilities if you're to stand any chance against my clones!"

Mona looked hesitant. Tyroth noticed her doubt.

"Mona!" he said "Isn't it true that you used the healing serum to save Leonardo's life? You wouldn't let him die so you were willing to give him your ability in a serum so he would live again, yes?"

Mona looked at Tyroth and at Sephie who saw Tyroth's point.

"Yes..." she said "We had only just got Leonardo back...and we weren't going to lose him to the Foot..."

"Exactly!" said Tyroth "Now I'm willing to let you use these serums if it will help you fight the clones and the Foot and save the turtles!"

"Ok Tyroth." said Sephie "I'm willing!" she looked over to Mona.

"What about you?" she asked.

Mona chewed her lip as she still felt angry about Dr Arden stealing Tyroth's DNA but he knew that Tyroth's clones were strong, it was hard enough fighting the cross-breed mutant earlier and if she stood any chance of helping her lover and adopted brothers, the serum would hep her.

"I concur." she said holding out her hand.

Tyroth tossed her a couple of syringes and Mona instantly injected herself with both.

Sephie did the same and Tyroth took a bag and filled the bag.

"Just in case we need an extra dose!" he said "How do you two feel?"

"Alright." said Mona "I feel a little more energised though."

"Me too!" said Sephie.

"Ok then!" said Tyroth "Let's get out of here and find the others!"

"Right on!" said Sephie.

"You got it!" Mona agreed as they ran for the exit.

As they ran through the doors, Tyroth stopped and turned back to the laboratory before inhaling and blowing a huge jet of fire at the area letting it all alight.

"Just to make sure that that Evil Doctor's work burns up with him!" he growled.

"Good work Tyroth!" said Mona "Come on! The throne room's this way!" and she lead the way to the throne room, Tyroth and Sephie running behind her.

Back in the laboratory as the flames burnt the area, the pile of broken glass, metal and debris began to shift and before long a fist pounded up from underneath and Dr Arden emerged.

Coughing and choking, the doctor looked around as his laboratory, the tubes of developing mutants and all his work were burnt up.

"NO!" he shouted angrily flexing his syringe fingers then bringing one that had the healing serum in it to heal himself from any wounds he had sustained from Tyroth's attack.

"You fools!" he snarled "You think you've stopped me?" he looked towards the open door where he knew the mutants had escaped "These serums have made me stronger than you think!"

"You won't escape this place alive!" he growled as he walked towards the door "My Lord Arashi will make sure of that!"

Whoa! That was a lucky escape for Sephie there! Tyroth's found the girls, now they're gonna find the turtles and battle Arashi and whatever other horror's they'll face.

But Dr Arden's still alive! It seems the serums have indeed made him stronger! What's going to happen next?

Stay tuned to find out!
