Chapter Twenty-Six
Finding The Others
Meanwhile, the turtles were still fighting the ninja as Arashi stood and watched them.
"Why won't you fucking die!?" Raphael roared as he stabbed one ninja in the shoulder with his sai, but the ninja didn't go down.
"They must have been injected with Tyroth's Healing DNA!" Donatello cried as he aimed his staff at one ninja, but the ninja grabbed the staff and pulled him close to him then punched him hard in the face causing the brainy turtle to fall to the ground spitting up blood.
"Donny!" cried Michelangelo running to his brother's side and swinging his nun chucks to fend the ninja away from him.
"Leave him alone!" he shouted as he struck the ninja in the face and kicked him backwards before helping Donatello to his feet.
"Thanks Mikey!" said Donatello before turning to another ninja with his bo staff and the two turtles began to fight back to back to protect each other's shells and watch each other's blind spots.
Leonardo kept trying to slice and dice the ninja, but even though he managed to slice their clothes, any wounds the ninja sustained, they healed almost immediately, even if he managed to stab them a few times in the chest and stomach, they still healed.
"How the fuck are they not dying?" Leonardo shouted.
Arashi meanwhile continued to laugh as he watched the turtles struggle.
"My Good Dr Arden perfected the serum so the Ninja are unstoppable!" he said "The serum he created from the Dragon's DNA is indeed a lot strong than the lizard whore's DNA."
Raphael growled again and started to get more aggressive as he stabbed a ninja over and over with his sai before he finally stabbed the ninja in the heart.
At once the ninja went rigid, he fell to the ground and he no longer moved.
Raphael stared at the body for a few moments until he realised that there was one of their weak spots.
"Guys!" he shouted "Aim for their hearts!"
As he spoke, Leonardo decapitated one of the ninja and the black clad ninja fell to the ground and moved no more.
"Taking off the head also works!" he shouted.
"Well ain't that great news(!)" said Michelangelo in a sarcastic tone "For the turtles with the blades!"
"Where's Mona when you need her?!" asked Donatello as he struck one ninja in the stomach with his bo "She and her warfans would be useful here!"
"She must still be with Sephie searching for Tyroth!" shouted Leonardo "I hope she's alright!"
As he spoke, Arashi laughed again.
"I wouldn't be too confident about your little lizard girl." he said "Nor her gecko girlfriend. Dr Arden went searching for them, and knowing my good Doctor, he made short work of them."
Raphael went pale as he thought of his beloved Mona and of Sephie being confronted by the evil and sadistic Dr Arden.
"You're lying!" he shouted "You bastard!" he leapt over the ninja's heads as they continued to surround and fight the four turtles.
"Raphael no!" Leonardo shouted as he stabbed one ninja before decapitating another.
But Raphael was deaf to his brother's protests as he flew towards Arashi with his sai's ready to stab the evil Lord of the Foot to death.
Arashi smirked and got into a fighting stance and just as Raphael was about to strike, Arashi punched Raphael hard in the face causing the turtle to go flying!
"Raph!" Michelangelo cried in fear.
Raphael lay breathless for a while but then stood up shaking off stars and spitting blood.
"Alright Arashi!" he snarled "Let's try that again!"
He aimed for Arashi again with his sai, but the Foot Lord kept dodging his attacks and punched back and Raphael blocked his moves.
Raphael aimed for Arashi again but Arashi moved quickly and grabbed Raphael's throat with his hand.
"Gotcha!" he taunted as he lifted Raphael up with amazing strength!
"What the fuck!?" cried Raphael as he felt throat get crushed and he found it hard to breath.
"RAPH!" Leonardo yelled in terror.
"NO!" cried Donatello.
"Leave him alone!" Michelangelo screamed.
"How...are you...doing...this?" Raphael choked as he flailed around in Arashi's grip.
"Isn't it obvious to you?" Arashi snarled "I used the serum taken from Tyroth's DNA and I got his strength! Seeing you hanging here like this! It's the perfect opportunity to gut you like a pig!"
"Arashi!" Leonardo yelled "Get your hands off him!" he beheaded two ninja and ran over to Arashi who took Tyroth's sword and used it to deflect Leonardo as he tried to attack him with his katana.
Leonardo cried out as he was thrown back and he gasped as he hit the floor dropping his swords as he did, he then saw the sword get pointed at his face.
"Leo!" Donatello cried as he and Michelangelo tried to get to their brothers but several strong ninja blocked them.
Arashi laughed then lowered the sword to Leonardo's throat and placed his foot on his stomach.
"You try and move turtle!" he said "And your brother gets choked to death!"
He squeezed Raphael's throat tighter to prove his point.
"Get your filthy hands off my brother!"Leonardo snarled.
Arashi lowered the sword to Leonardo's throat then moved down his plastron cutting him and causing the blue mask turtle to wince as blood erupted from the cuts.
"Leo!" Raphael choked as he tried to get out of Arashi's grip. "Leave him alone!"
Michelangelo and Donatello tried to fight their way through the ninja but without having blades to fully finish them, it was almost impossible!
"Oh this is such fun!" mocked Arashi "Seeing you all in my grasp and at the mercy of my ninja!"
"Fuck you!" Raphael spat, despite the fact he was being held up by his throat, he was still defiant and wasn't going to plead for his life.
"You're a strong one!" said Arashi as he squeezed Raphael's throat tighter "I bet you won't be so strong when Dr Arden has finally settled his score with your little lizard slut!"
Raphael's eyes widened.
"Yes...that's right!" smirked Arashi "Dr Arden decided that since the Dragon holds more abilities in his blood, Mona is no longer a treasure and he has longed to make her pay for scarring his face!"
"NO!" Leonardo cried.
"He better not touch her!" Raphael cried.
Donatello and Michelangelo protested as they were overpowered by the ninja.
"And what are you going to do?" asked Arashi "You seem to be in no position to make threats!"
Raphael struggled more and tried to pull out of the evil Lord's hand but it was still difficult.
"Oh easy and fun it would be to kill you!" said Arashi evilly "To kill all of you...slowly...painfully...watch you plead for your lives, for the pain to stop until the life finally leaves your eyes...but I think I'd prefer to break you first, in a more amusing way!"
"Spit it out Arashi!" Leonardo growled, wincing in pain over the large long slice in his plastron.
"Yeah!" said Michelangelo as he and Donatello struggled in the hands of the Foot Ninja holding them captive "We're already dying of boredom here!"
"Very well then!" said Arashi "Release the Dragons!" he barked.
At once, the Foot Ninja backed off and some doors and trapdoors opened around the huge room and through the floor and at once the turtles saw several Dragons that resembled Tyroth come out.
"Holy Shit!" cried Donatello.
"Fuck!" cried Michelangelo.
Arashi smirked then dropped Raphael as well as moved his foot off Leonardo and moved back.
Raphael coughed and spluttered then moved over to Leonardo to check he was ok.
"Bro?" he asked scared taking his brother into his arms "Are you ok?"
"I'm fine..." said Leonardo running his hand over the slice in his plastron "Just a mere scratch."
He then saw Raphael's neck where there were bruises from Arashi's fingers.
"You alright though?"
Raphael nodded then looked up at the Tyroth clones that appeared from the doors and trapdoors.
"Shit!" he cried.
"Tyroth clones!?" cried Leonardo.
The turtles shock soon turned to horror when they suddenly saw some other mutants appear, this time half lizard, half dragon.
"NO!" cried Raphael as he saw the resemblance of Mona in some of them.
"HOLY SHELL!" cried Donatello "Dr Arden must have combined Tyroth's DNA with some of Mona's from his previous experiments!"
"MONSTER!" cried Michelangelo.
Arashi just laughed as he stepped back and let the clone dragons and dragon lizard mutants surround the turtles.
"This will be fun..." he said with a smirk "Let's see how strong you really are!"
At once the turtles gripped their weapons and faced the clones and mutants ready to fight to the death.
"I don't know if I can fight these creatures!" cried Michelangelo "When they look like our friend!"
"These guys aren't Tyroth Mikey!" said Donatello "They're clones! They were created to only obey Arashi and Dr Arden."
As he spoke, many of the Tyroth clones opened their mouths showing their teeth and held up their claws and the lizard Dragon mutants smirked and got into fighting stances.
"Be prepared for anything guys!" said Leonardo as he held up his swords.
Raphael spun his sai and growled, ready to fight.
Meanwhile, Mona, Sephie and Tyroth were still running down the hallways towards the throne room, as they got close to their destination, they were soon ambushed by several ninja.
Mona narrowed her eyes as she took out her fans.
"Let nothing stand in our way!" she bellowed as she ran towards the ninja yelling like a barbarian and slashing her warfans slicing and cutting down many ninja that tried to fight her.
"With you Mona!" shouted Sephie taking out her bow and arrows and shooting down several ninja by hitting them in the heads.
"Don't let me miss out all the action!" yelled Tyroth as he ran behind the girls and punched down many ninja and slashed them with his claws.
As the three mutants fought the ninja, they noticed many of them got up again even after sustaining serious injuries.
In fact Sephie who had switched from her bow and arrows to daggers almost got stabbed in the back by a ninja she had shot down but got up again, but Mona threw one of her folded warfans at the ninja impaling him in the head.
"Holy crap!" cried Sephie in shock as she turned around to see the ninja fall again with Mona's fan in his head "How come he got up again? I thought I killed him."
Mona spun over and took her warfan from his head then slashed across the throat almost decapitating, making sure he never got up again.
"Dr Arden must have injected these ones with my DNA!" Tyroth shouted as he used his claw to stab one ninja in the chest piercing his heart and killing him.
"Aim for the hearts!" Tyroth yelled
"Or decapitate them!" said Mona slashing her fan down to get rid of the blood.
"Got it!" Sephie yelled as she stabbed one ninja in the heart, Mona also complied as she used her warfans to decapitate two at the same time.
As she fought the stronger ninja, Mona felt really energised, she didn't know if it was the serum given to her by Tyroth or weather it was because she was fuelled by adrenaline, she didn't care but she was determined to bring all the ninja down then find her beloved mate and adopted brothers.
After abut ten minutes the three mutants were able to bring down the rest of the ninja.
Tyroth stabbed three ninja's in their chests then threw the bodies to the sides.
"I wish I had my sword with me!" he yelled "But that bastard Arashi took it!"
"Taking another warrior's weapons!" Mona snarled "Doesn't sit well with me! Especially with Arashi! That dishonourable prick!"
She kicked another ninja in the stomach then used her folded fan to stab him in the chest, then used her unfolded fan to slice another ninja's head off.
Soon there were only a couple of Ninja still standing and they aimed for Sephie. The gecko used her daggers and stabbed one in the eye then slashed his throat killing him, she then turned to the last one who tried to punch her, but she avoided his attack then kicked him in the stomach.
As the ninja fell, Sephie then launched herself up from her feet positioning her elbow so it was above his head then brought it down with all her strength and might!
As soon as her elbow came into contact with the ninja's head, a sickening crack was heard as the skull cracked like an eggshell and the ninja fell to the ground bleeding heavily from the head.
Mona and Tyroth stared for a moment at Sephie as she stood up from striking the ninja down.
"Crane wing strike..." said Mona softly.
"Whoa..." said Tyroth.
Sephie stared at the ninja at her feet then felt her elbow checking for bruising.
"I did it!" she said as if she didn't believe it at first "I did it!" she then cried excitedly "I performed the Crane Wing strike!"
"Well done Sephie!" said Mona clapping "I knew you'd get it eventually!"
"That's my girl!" Tyroth beamed.
Sephie cheered and leapt into the air excitedly.
Mona clapped again, then she looked up the hallway remembering their duty.
"Come on guys!" she said "We better keep looking for the throne room!"
"Ok." said Sephie and Tyroth together and they followed Mona as they ran down the hallway looking for the throne room.
Yikes! Looks like the turtles are in trouble! Hope Tyroth, Sephie and Mona get to them in time to help!
But Sephie has perfected the Crane Wing Strike! Well done Gecko gal! :)
