Finding Yourself in Darkness

by ninja-warrior101

Kameko Dotou had a hard life. Will she ever find out who she is if she never lets go of her past? The Turltes, Master Splinter, and Leatherhead are her last hope. I have been working on this for awhile, too scared to publish. This is my first real story. Please Review so I can get advise! Thanks a bunch! I do not own any of this but Kameko and the plot!

37. Questions and a Wrong Answer

Leatherhead P.O.V.

'Today is a special day.' I thought to myself as I got out of bed, releasing a yawn. I had decided to actually get a good night's sleep last night. All because Kameko was coming to visit for the whole day.

I rubbed my hands together as I walked away from my sleeping quarters and to the lab sector. I quickly sniffed the air, it was very moist. That meant that it was raining above ground. 'I do hope that does not dissuade Kameko from wanting to come down here…' I close my eyes thinking of what we could get done today. 'Maybe I can finally ask her my question…' I release a sigh.

As I began to get out the days equipment out, I hear a high pitched sound. It intensifies from just a sound, to pain. The pain was unlike any I ever recalled going through before. I went right through my ears and into my brain. I tried to keep the sound out by placing my hands over my ears, but the sound was still there. The pain was continuous. I started to walk away from my lab area, 'Maybe….just maybe….I can find an area….get away from the sound…' It was getting hard to even move around, but I forced my way through it while the pain grew ever still.

With my eyes still closed, I shuffle along till I somehow managed to hear another sound-rat feet patter. I open my eyes just enough to watch as thousands of rats make their way out of my home and out through the sewer. 'I wonder...' I hurriedly follow them out and find myself above ground, so I quickly rush into a deserted building. I then take note that the sound had stopped. As I take my hands from my head, I watch as a truck, which seemed familiar, swerved in the area in front of my building.

Then, a few pitch black trucks come around and release men in in black clothes. As I follow them with my eyes, I notice they were heading for the turtles. I stalk my way to get closer as I watch them pull Master Splinter out of the first truck which I now recognize as the turtles. I begin my way out of the building as I watch them take Master Splinter in to one truck.

But I feel my heart stop as I watch other men grab Kameko and take her into another truck. I clench my fists as I release a growl as the two trucks race off into the driving rain. 'Come-on Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, Michelangelo. Wake up.' As some men pick their guns up and point them at the turtles. At my friends, I lost it. I let a roar loose and charge them. I knock them all out, grab the turtles, and rush back to my home.
