So this chapter took some extra research. Hope you like it!
It was finally Saturday. 'A day of anything but school.' I yawned as I got out of bed. It was still dark outside. I was going to spend the whole day down in the sewers helping Leatherhead on his transportation vehicle he was making. Don had insisting basing it off of a train they had 'gotten from' Agent Bishop a while ago. A time that, I guess, was either not around or when they had gone off on their own.
I make my way out of April's apartment. April seemed not to be up yet, so I left a note saying the time I left, and continued on my way. I noticed it was raining just in time to grab a raincoat. I made it to the nearest manhole no problem, I stayed in the shadows. I had gotten more muscle tone so it wasn't very hard to move the cover. I was unaware of the trouble I had missed above ground till I heard them right above me. A take a peak as I watch a large, black, armored vehicle was making its way around to the manhole down the road. A group of shady guys all decked out in black clothes and headsets opened the manhole and dumped out some small device down into the sewer. Once they were done, they hurriedly closed it up and made their way to my manhole. I quickly slide down and ran off, 'I better let everyone know! This might be pretty dangerous!' I race through the sewers as fast as the muck would let me. I could hear the things plop into the water behind me.
The sound finally dies with the light behind me as I reach the guys' lair. I find the hidden pipe and pull it down so the lair opens up to me. They were settled down on some mats in front of Master Splinter's room. There were candle sticks surrounding them. As Master Splinter acknowledged me with a nod, he continued talking to the group.
Master Splinter clears his throat, "We have survived these many trials and tests by following the path of ninjutsu and by following and using…." He waits patiently for an answer. I wait by the doors till they close completely before walking towards them.
Leo scratches his chin pondering the question, "Our inner strength?" He looks up.
Master Splinter nods turning towards the whole group, "Yes, Leonardo. Only by focusing on our inner strength can we overcome our enemies." By this time I have reached the group and point to Mikey with a smirk. Master Splinter then realizes Mikey is not listening. "Michaelangelo, where is your focus?" He looks right at Mikey.
Mikey turns back to Master Splinter with a hand to his chin before responding, "Right over there Sensei." He then points behind them. "In the pool." Which causes everyone else to turn a look and watch as little black objects pop up.
"What the shell are those things?" Don inquirers as they all stand.
"I saw some men up top just, dropping them into the sewers," I say.
"Did you see any actually person?" Don says coming up past me to get a closer look at the objects. As he reached the pool, a loud high pitched sound is heard. Nothing seemed to change until Leo yelled, "Master Splinter!" I turned around and saw Master Splinter who looked like he was in a ton of pain; he was twitching around and had put his hands to the sides of his head. Leo turned towards us, "Don, what's the matter with him?"
Don leaned over and picked one of the black objects, "It's these." He looked at it the way he does when he has no idea what to do. I rushed over to him and snatched it out of his hands.
"This is what I saw the men drop," I say.
"The sound! I cannot block it out!" Master Splinter dropped his hands from his head and fainted. Luckily he landed in Leo's arms. But the damage had been done.
Leo stared done at the fainted rat in his arms, "We need to get him out of here! Now!" He picked Master Splinter up and ran towards the elevator.
The rest of us sent a glance at each other and raced off after Leo. The sound was everywhere. We rushed into the battle shell as silently as possible. Leo places Master Splinter in the back chair as Raph gets buckled in the front and starts the vehicle. Once it starts, he floors it. Right through the garage door into the driving rain. "Man, I'm hearin' it up here to."
Don, Mikey and Leo stand around Master Splinter. I pace the back of the truck thinking. Thinking about Leatherhead. Thinking about if it was hurting him to. I clench my fists and growl. Don walks over to me, "Kameko, everything is fine. No need to get mad now. He is fine." I gawk at him before turning away trying to hide a blush. He goes back up and looks out the window. "It seems to be some kind of sonic disruption throughout the entire city. Though it does not appear to bother humans, it's clearly targeted to other species. "
Leo sends a frown around before looking down at Master Splinter who had awoken up long enough to continue twitching. "Like rats."
Suddenly, Raph yells, "What the shell?!" The truck is sharply turned into an alley. The sound of crashing into trash barrels is heard. The truck slides all over the dark, wet, slippery roads. I shakily make my way up to between the driver and passenger seat, as Mikey took the passenger seat.
I watch as two pitch black helicopters are suddenly seen up a head. They send a volley of missiles as the truck drives beneath them.
Mikey yells, "We got missiles incoming!" He looks out the passenger window so he could see past the rain.
Raph swerves off the road onto the sidewalk as the missiles are shot at them. I am thrown against Mikey who holds me upright with a smile. We watch as one goes through a mailbox. It doesn't explode, but releases a load of gas. I squint at it as we drive down the road some more. "This is not good." I turn back towards Don and Leo, "We can't hide from them!" I walk past them as Raph does another sharp turn. As I am turned around, I view out the front of the truck and get a sinking feeling. Just as it intensifies, one of the helicopters comes out of hiding from the building to the right; Raph's blind spot. The helicopter shoots at us again. This missile doesn't miss.
We look up at it as the cap of the missile pops off and releases many small round black balls. Even Raph and Mikey looked back when they heard the thud of the missile. "What are those things?" Mikey shouts.
Don gets very aggravated, "I don't know!" I rush to them and pick one up as they all explode at once. I drop it as smoke is released. I cough heavily. "Kameko!" Don yells as he tries to get to me, but the smoke was growing in intensity and was spreading all around the truck causing everyone to cough.
Once it reached Raph, he became a really bad driver. I mean really bad. He closes his eyes and waves his hands before him to remove the smoke. All it causes is for him to spin the truck out in a dead-end. As the truck slows down, Raph and Mikey jump from the back seat and rush with Leo and Don to get the back door open. All they caused was a pileup outside the truck.
I tried to grab Master Splinter, but I could feel the smoke making its way through me. I felt it fore its way through my nose and down my throat. I felt it reach my lungs. It felt like a billion little knives were making their way through me. The pain increased until I passed out in front of Master Splinter. The last thing I thought about was that the sound that started this horrible day had finally stopped.
That stupid noise...So, please review; comment, questions, needs, and concerns.
I know I got a question: Any thoughts on a 'Christmas' chapter later on?
