A/N: Neither Cath or Elisa have an important role in this one.
I'm sorry for the long wait, but I just didn't feel like writing as I haven't had many reviews since I did the Monster Hunter.
Late at night in the city, Raph was standing alone in an alleyway, surrounded by members of the mob dressed in black, while a young boy was crouched behind him, as he held his Sais out.
Raph: Man is this gonna be a long night. Two major problems: the first, is these guys, your basic...
The mobsters all walked closer to Raph, all holding chains, bats or pipes, as he twirled his Sais around.
..criminal-type thugs, which normally wouldn't be a problem at all.
"Hand him over, now?" a mobster demanded, being slightly different from the others, as he wore crimson red instead of black.
Except for the second problem...
"Come and get me, creepo!" the boy dared, as Raph turned to him, before he shook his head.
Some old guy once said, 'Anybody who hates kids and dogs can't be all bad.'
He blocked a whack from one with a pipe with his Sais, then kicked it and another with a chain away. He then blocked a strike from one with a bat with them, then kicked it in the chest, knocking it down. Three more then charged at him as he put his Sais away, then he pulled ones arm down, then grabbed and twisted it while twirling him around, then threw him into the other two, knocking them all out.
"Ah!" the leader gasped.
He took out a flashbang grenade out of his coat, then pressed a button on it, before throwing it at the boy, who was now against a wall.
"Ahh!" the boy gasped.
"Arh!" Raph growled, turning to him.
The boy shielded his eyes by turning away, as Raph dived in front of him.
Like I said, it's gonna be a long night.
The flashbang exploded right in front of Raph, which then creating a smokescreen.
Down in the lair, Donnie and Cath were working in Donnie's lab, while April, Leo, Mikey and Elisa were all looking at papers and maps on a table, as Raph was whacking a practice post. It had been about four days since the battle on top of the Shredder's skyscraper, where Master Splinter had disappeared, leaving everyone depressed.
Raph hit it with his elbow, then kicked it, then hit the top bit, spinning it around, but then hit it again, stopping it. He then hit it again, spinning it around in the opposite direction, then kicked the bottom half, spinning it around. He then spun the top half around in the other direction, then jumped up, then hit the top half, then spun the bottom half in the other direction, then stopped both halves.
He caught his breath as he rested against it, wiping sweat off his forehead, before he turned to those at the table. He then growled angrily, and then whacked the post, spinning it around again, getting everyone's attention.
"You okay, Raph?" Leo asked.
"Yeah, you seem more angry than usual." Elisa noticed.
Raph walked towards them all.
"How can you sit around talking when he's out there somewhere?!" he demanded. "Maybe hurt, bad!"
"Like I said, we have to organize the search." Leo told him. "Look at everything we know."
"But we don't know anything!" Raph snapped.
"Well, we know that when we were fighting the Shredder, Master Splinter took a major hit, for me." Mikey recalled, remembering how his father had saved him, before Shredder kicked him out of the damaged window.
Donnie and Cath approached the others.
"And when we looked for him after the fight, he just wasn't there." Donnie said.
"It was like he just vanished without a trace." Cath added sadly.
April turned back to the table. "I've been scanning the police ban for anything like a...giant rat sighting." she explained, sighing. "Nothing."
"So we should be out there, looking for him!" Raph snapped.
He turned and walked away, before Elisa and Leo ran after him.
"We have been, Raph, but Master Splinter could be anywhere." Leo pointed out.
Raph stopped and turned to them.
"How do we search the entire city of New York?" Elisa inquired.
"One block at a time, sis." Raph answered, walking towards his Sais - which were stuck in a haystack lying against a pillar.
He then took them out.
"Raph, not a good time for the hothead thing." Mikey said.
Donnie and Cath - now both back in the lab - turned to Raph.
"The Battle Shell's a couple hours being street ready after the beating it took." Donnie explained. "We could cover more ground."
"And it's faster than on foot." Cath added, folding her arms.
"It's okay. Go blow off some stream, Raph." Leo said. "Maybe you'll find something out there."
Raph cracked his knuckles. "Count on it." he said.
He then walked away, as everyone watched him.
"You want me to go with him or not?" Elisa asked, turning to Leo.
"No." Leo said, shaking his head. "I think not even you can help him this time."
"Okay." Elisa understood.
Later, Raph ran along a bunch of rooftops as the moon shined over the city. He jumped onto a water tower, then onto another rooftop, and then ran along it.
"Sit around, talking all night!" he huffed.
He jumped down onto another building, then he stopped to catch his breath. He then looked down at the street as a van turned around a corner and rode along it, and then he jumped down and landed on it. He looked to his right as it rode along, before something caught his eye in an alleyway.
"Ah. Master Splinter?!" he gasped.
The van pulled over as it reached a set of traffic lights, which turned red. A bus then came around the corner and rode down in the opposite direction, as Raph jumped off the van and onto the bus. The bus rode down the road, then Raph jumped off it when it got to the alley, then landed at the entrance.
"Ah!" he gasped, staring at what he thought was his father.
He ran towards it as fast as he could, then reached out and grabbed it, but then it fell apart, as it was just a pile of junk that looked like Splinter in the shadows.
"Ah! Master Splinter, where are you?!" Raph shouted loudly, his voice echoing.
Later, he jumped onto another rooftop, when a noise got his attention.
"Huh?" he muttered.
He ran along the rooftop, then jumped onto the edge of another, before he saw a bunch of flashlights down below in a alley.
"Hello? What do we have here?" he wondered.
Down in the alley, a bunch of men in black suits were holding a flashlight each, moving around like they were looking for something or someone. One of the men knocked over some boxes, then kicked a small one away in anger. Another then pushed a crate away, then looked behind a big box, but saw nothing.
"Hurry it up and find him!" one ordered, wearing crimson instead of black, was bald, had sunglasses on and had a red beard on his chin. "The boss needs this tied up tonight if he's gonna make his bid for the top. And when the boss moves up, we all move up."
Raph ran along the rooftop his on, then jumped down onto another, and then jumped down into the alley. He then ran towards some bins and hid behind them, as a man picked up an old coat out of a dumpster and dropped it on the ground. He then slammed the lid shut and followed after some more, when a young boy - younger than Angel - lifted the bin up slightly.
"Ah!" Raph gasped.
The men in the suits kept searching around.
"Need I remind youse what'll happen if we fails to recapture our quarry." the leader said. "Find him!"
"He ain't here." one argued.
"Then try the next alley." the leader suggested, as they began to walk off.
The boy lifted the bin lid up higher.
"No, kid!" Raph hissed. "Stay down!"
The boy peeked out from behind the wall, as a old lamp behind him fell off the bin and smashed.
"Ah!" he gasped.
He ducked back down, making the bin lid slam on top of him, as the goons came running back towards the bin.
"Come out, come out, wherever youse are?" the leader called, pointing his flashlight at the bin.
The boy lifted the bin lid up slightly, peeking out, and while the goons didn't see him, Raph did.
"No, kid! No!" he hissed. "Stay down!"
"Time to stop playing hide and seek, kid!" the leader sneered.
Raph brought out his Sais, then jumped onto the bin lid.
"How's about it's your turn to hide!" he sneered, jumping onto the ground in front of it, right in the flashlight.
The boy lifted the lid up a little more.
"Whoa." he said, amazed.
"I'll give you to 3." Raph said, twirling his Sais around. "1..."
"Whoa! Wrong time of the year for Halloween, freak!" the leader scoffed.
Raph stopped twirling his Sais. "..2..." he counted.
"Okay, boys, time to peal this guy out of his monster suit." the leader sneered, as most of the goons approached Raph.
"3!" Raph finished.
He jumped up as the boy lifted the lid up again.
"Whoa." the boy awed.
Raph dived and kicked one of the goons in the chest, then he jumped back as another tried to whack him with a chain. He then jumped up as the goon tried to hit him again, then he landed on his shoulders, and then kicked himself off the goon, knocking him down. He then near a third, as he tried to punch him, but then he axe kicked the goon in the face, knocking him down.
The leader watched in complete shock as Raph jumped and kicked another right in the face, not believing his eyes.
Raph then sliced another's pipe in half, followed by another's chain, then kicked the first against the dumpster bin, knocking him out as he hit it hard. He then kicked another hard, sending him flying towards the ground, and then knocked a third onto his chest out cold.
He then landed near the dumpster, spun his Sais around, and then crossed them over.
"Next." he smirked.
The leader and the last two goons gasped in shock, frozen with fear, their eyes wide, and their mouths open.
"Don't be shy, boys. There's plenty for everybody." Raph smirked assuringly.
"What are you?" the leader demanded frantically.
"I am Green Vengeance!" Raph answered grinningly, twirling his Sais, feeling like Batman.
"Green Vengeance?" the leader questioned, confused. "What?!"
"Alright, never mind. Don't like green, huh? How 'bout, black and blue?" Raph asked, twirling his Sais.
"Ge-get him!" the leader commanded, fear in his voice.
The boy lifted the bin lid up again, as the last two goons approached Raph.
Raph then ducked as one tried to whack him with a pipe, then he kicked the goon in the chest and then the face, knocking it away. He then flipped himself up while turning to the other, then he pulled a door of a building open, which the goon then hit, before pulling the door back.
"Argh." the goon groaned, as he collapsed rom dizziness.
Raph then jumped away, flipping around in the air as he did, and then landed on the ground, as three more came out of the building. He stared at the three of them, as they glared at him, one armed with a pipe, another armed with a chain - which he spun around above his head - and the third held his fists up. Raph then looked up, and saw a neon sign above them all, and then he threw his Sais at it.
The Sais then hit the hinges, which were holding the sign up, and then it began to fall. The three goons all looked up and gasped, and then ran away, the two with the weapons dropping them as they did. They all then jumped as the sign hit the ground, and then they landed on their chests.
Raph rubbed his hands together, and then he walked towards one of his Sais, as the goons moaned.
"Oh, no!" one gasped, as they looked up and all panicked. "Let's book!"
They all got up and ran away scared, as Raph picked his Sai up.
"Come on!" he dared with his hand. "We're just getting started."
The goons kept running away scared.
"Let's get outta here!" one cried.
The leader stepped into the shadows of a building, then took a phone out of his pocket, and then dialed a number.
"Uh, boss, we got us a problem." he explained.
Inside a building, the Boss was sitting in a chair behind a desk in the shadows, in a dimly lit office - like in a mobster flim.
"Just tell me you got the kid." he said.
"Well..." the man replied, mumbling about how Raph had whooped the boys.
"What?! How many of them were there?!" the Boss demanded, snarling.
"Um, well...just one." the man explained, his voice mumbled.
"One?!" the Boss exclaimed, not believing his ears.
He hit his desk with his fist, then got out of his seat, and walked towards the window - which was blinded slightly.
"Hey, you listen, Weasel, and listen good. You get an army if you have to, but bring my that kid! There's a gang war coming now that the Shredder's out of the picture." he explained, before he turned around, with an angry look on his face. "And nothing's gonna stand in my way. Nothing!"
Back in the alley, after Raph had put his Sais away, he walked towards the dumpster the boy was in.
"Kid, it's okay, I won't bite." he said. "I'm one of the good guys. Honest."
The boy lifted the bin lid up, and then glared at Raph.
"Come on. Let's get you outta there." Raph said. "Don't be scared."
The boy climbed out of the bin, and then glared at Raph as he folded his arms.
"What's your name?" Raph asked. "Well?"
The boy punched him in the face.
"Ow!" he yelped, rubbing it. "Cute. Real cute. Now just clam down."
The boy punched him again.
"Ow!" he yelped, rubbing his beak. "Man, I hate kids." He lowered his arms. "Okay, so we're past the scared part."
The boy punched him in the face again.
"Ah!" he groaned.
The boy sent another punch at him, but this time, he blocked it with his fist.
"So far, we're kid: 3, Raph: 0, but that's gonna even up real quick if you don't keep your hands to yourself." Raph said.
"What's your name, turtle?" the boy asked rudely.
"Raphael." Raph answered, touching the boys shoulders. "So, kid, what'd you do to kick off those goons?"
The boy pushed Raph away. "Don't call me 'kid'! I'm Tyler, and I can handle this myself, turtle." he said rudely.
"Fine, don't tell me. I'm the middle of something right now anyway." Raph said, turning around and folding his arms. "I'm just gonna get you to someplace safe, and then I'm outta here."
Tyler however ran off, which Raph then noticed as he turned around.
"Oh, great. Just great." he moaned sarcastically.
Tyler ran down the alley, but as he briefly turned around, bumped into Raph's chest.
"Oah!" he moaned, falling onto his butt.
He looked up, and saw Raph leaned against the wall, while twirling one of his Sai's.
"You can't sneak away from a ninja, kid." Raph smirked, putting his Sai away.
"Leave me alone!" Tyler gritted angrily.
"And you can't go messing with those Mob Goons on your own." Raph argued. "You're just a kid. You're gonna get hurt."
"I told you 'don't call me, kid'!" Tyler snapped. "And you're not the boss of me!"
"Oh, yeah?" Raph snarled, as he bent down.
"Yeah!" Tyler snarled.
"Oh, yeah?!" Raph growled.
A little later, Raph carried Tyler under his arm down the alleyways, until he saw the Police Station on the other end.
"There's the Police Station. For obvious reasons, I can't go in there." Raph said, putting Tyler down in front of him, and then he crouched down. "Tell 'em where you live, and they'll get you home."
"But-!" Tyler argued, protesting.
"Get going." Raph cut in. "And no funny stuff, I'm right here watching."
He turned Tyler around, who then frowned, but reluctantly walked onto the road. He stopped after a few steps and checked to see if any cars were coming, then walked across the street as Raph stood up. Once Tyler made it across, he walked up the steps towards the door, but then turned around to Raph, who motioned him to go in with his hand, and then Tyler reluctantly went into the station.
"Ah, kids." Raph sighed happily, as he turned around and walked back down the alley.
Tyler however, then opened the door again, ran out of the station, and then along the road. He then ran into another alley, and kept running down it, until Raph came up behind him and grabbed his shirt.
"Hey!" Tyler complained, as Raph lifted him up.
"Tell me what's going on with you, or I'm gonna keep taking you back all night?" Raph demanded, as he turned around and walked back down the alley. "And I'm gonna get more honked off every time!"
"Alright." Tyler sighed, giving in. "Ah! Right, okay."
Raph put him down, then bent down to his level.
"It started today after school." Tyler began.
(Flashback)
Tyler was sitting in his living room in his house, playing with a toy bus, while watching the TV, which showed the movie 'Lone Wolf and Cub'.
"I got my homework done, so my sitter let me watch my favourite movie of all time."
The front door opened up, and then a woman wearing glasses came in.
"Then my mom came home. She was really happy."
She closed the door and walked towards Tyler, who got up.
"She's a reporter and she got a tape recording..."
Tyler ran to his mom as she lifted him up, and then they hugged each other.
"..of a bad guy that was gonna put him in jail, and she was gonna be famous."
Later, Tyler was asleep in his room, when a noise of a glass breaking woke him up, making him sit up in his bed.
"But I guess the bad guys found out about the tape..."
The living room was kicked open, then a few of the mobsters - including Weasel - came into the house.
"..and they wanted it real bad."
Tyler's mom ran up the stairs to Tyler's room and opened the door.
"But mom knew they'd get rid of her if she gave it to them, so she didn't."
A mobster grabbed her arms and held her tightly, a mean look on his face.
Later, the mobsters drove Tyler and his mom towards a warehouse in a car - both of them, Weasel and a mobster sitting in the back.
"She told me I had to be brave."
Tyler turns to his mom, who then hands her the tape.
"She gave me the tape and told me to run."
"Mom, I'll be back for you. I promise." Tyler promised, as the car stopped.
The mobster grabbed Tyler's mom, and dragged her out of the car, as she groaned, while Weasel grabbed Tyler and did the same on the other end.
"Come on, you little-" he said, before Tyler kicked him in the knee. "Ahh!"
Tyler ran off as fast as he could.
"Hey! After him!" Weasel ordered. "Somebody grab that little brat!"
(Flashback ends)
"And that's pretty much when you showed up." Tyler finished.
Raph got up. "You're not making this up? They really got your mom?" he asked, walking around Tyler.
"Yeah. And I'm going back and gonna kick all their butts!" Tyler swore angrily, kicking his foot up.
"Bad idea." Raph said sternly, holding his finger up. "Look, kid..."
Tyler frowned at him.
"Uh, Tyler." Raph corrected. "Look, if your story is true, I promise I'll get your mom out, but first I gotta get you to a safe place."
"No way!" Tyler snapped. "You're not dumping me!"
"Uh!" Raph sighed. "What does it take to get through to ya? It's way too dangerous. You wanna get..."
Tyler began to cry, as he was deeply worried about his mom, making Raph realize how similar they were, as he was worried about Splinter.
"Oh!" he sighed, face-palming himself. "Look, Tyler, I...I know how you feel. My dad's missing. I was out there trying to find him, when I found you."
"Really?" Tyler asked, sadly.
"Really." Raph answered.
"Awe. This is truly touching!" a familiar voice laughed.
Raph and Tyler turned, and saw Weasel and a bunch of the goons at the end of the alley.
"Is the poor little freak missing his daddy?" Weasel squeaked.
Raph growled as he turned around, and saw more of the goons on the other end of the alley, trapping him and Tyler. He brought his Sais out, getting ready to fight, as the goons walked closer to him, carrying either a bat. pipe, chain or club, and then he twirled his Sais around, as Tyler hid behind him.
"Hand him over, now!" Weasel demanded.
"Come and get me, creepo!" Tyler dared.
He got up from behind Raph.
"I'll kick their butts! Hyah" he shouted, doing some punch moves, before Raph put the handle of one of his Sais under his shirt. "Agh!"
Raph put Tyler down behind him, then Tyler ran away as Raph gave him a stern look.
Raph then blocked a whack from one with a pipe with his Sais, then kicked it and another with a chain away. He then blocked a strike from one with a bat with them, then kicked it in the chest, knocking it down. Three more then charged at him as he put his Sais away, then he pulled ones arm down, then grabbed and twisted it while twirling him around, then threw him into the other two, knocking them all out.
"Ah!" Weasel gasped.
He took out a flashbang grenade out of his coat, then pressed a button on it, before throwing it at Tyler, who was now against a wall.
"Ahh!" Tyler gasped.
"Arh!" Raph growled, turning to him.
Tyler covered his eyes with his arms, as Raph dived in front of him, and then the flashbang exploded in front of him, creating a smokescreen. Once it cleared, Raph coughed loudly, then Tyler lowered his arms to look at him, as they both stood up, then Raph rubbed his eyes.
"Kid, we got a problem; I can't see a thing." he said, as the flashbang had blinded him.
Tyler gasped in shock, as Weasel - who now had a knife out - and the goons came closer to them both.
"Kid, where are you?" Raph asked. "I'm dizzy and I can't see! I'm blind!"
"I'm behind you." Tyler told him.
Raph turned around. "I gotta get you outta here." he said, picking Tyler up, and then brought one of his Sai's out.
"If you run straight, there's a skinny guy dead ahead." Tyler whispered.
Raph twirled his Sai around as he charged at the mobsters.
"Whoa!" Tyler yelped.
The mobsters all moved out of the way, as Raph ran towards the wall.
"Oh, watch out!" Tyler yelled, pointing left. "Turn that way!"
"Which way that way?" Raph asked confused, having just told him he was blind.
He then yelped as he bumped into a wall, making him rub his head.
"That was the wall." Tyler explained.
"I needed to know that one second earlier." Raph told him.
"There coming for us!" Tyler gasped, as he turned slightly. "Get going! Left!"
Raph turned left and ran off.
"The other left." Tyler corrected.
Raph turned left and ran down the alley, as Weasel and the goons kept chasing them both. Tyler looked around as Raph kept running, until he saw a fire escape on a nearby building.
"Put your left hand up!" he said.
"Why?" Raph asked, putting his Sai away.
"Just do it!" Tyler snapped.
Raph held his left hand up, until it touched the fire escape ladder.
"Got it." he said, putting Tyler down.
"Climb." Tyler instructed.
"Hang on, kid." Raph said, putting his right hand on the ladder.
Tyler climbed onto Raph's shell, and then Raph began climbing the ladder. Once the mobsters got there, one-by-one, they began to climb after them, dropping their weapons as they did.
"Ah! Ha, ha, ha, ha!" Weasel sniggered, as he watched, thinking he finally had Tyler.
Tyler and Raph then made it to the top part of the fire escape.
"Tyler, where's this thing bolted to the wall?" Raph asked.
"Here." Tyler answered, touching the side rail.
Raph moved his hand along it, then Tyler moved it along until he found the bolt which had it against the wall. He then pulled out one of his Sai's, and then put it against the bolt, while he and Tyler grabbed the ladder leading to the rooftop.
"Okay, you go up first." Raph said.
Tyler began climbing the ladder, as Raph pried the bolt off with his Sai like it was a crowbar.
"Ah!" the mobsters gasped, fear on their faces.
Raph pried the bolt out of the wall, put his Sai away, kicked the fire escape, then climbed up the ladder.
"Whoa! Oh!" the goons moaned, as the entire fire escape fell off the building, with them on it.
They all landed hard, but none were killed, but some were shaken and badly hurt.
"Ah! Losers! Find another way up!" Weasel ordered. "They're getting away."
Raph grabbed Tyler and ran along the rooftops.
"Okay, keep going straight." Tyler instructed, as they made it to the shadows. "There's a step coming up."
About an hour later, two goons were standing outside the warehouse Tyler's mom was being held in, as Tyler led Raph along a rooftop near it.
"Hey, Tyler, where you taking us, kid?" Raph asked.
"Just a little further." Tyler assured.
Raph sat down at the edge of the building, as Tyler looked down from it, and saw the warehouse.
"This is it." he said. "This is the place where they've got my mom."
"Okay." Raph said. "Tell me everything you see in there."
Tyler saw two goons pacing around near one of the walls.
"Um, I see a couple of goons whose butts I'm gonna kick." he said.
He began to run off, when Raph grabbed him.
"Whoa there, quickdraw." he said. "You better take a breath and think before you act. You can't just go storming off like a hothead!"
He then looked embarrassed, remembering what his siblings keep calling him and occasionally Elisa.
"Hey, listen to me, hothead." he said, slapping the side of his face.
"What?" Tyler asked, confused.
"Nah. Just something my siblings were trying to tell me." Raph sighed.
Tyler looked over the rooftop again, and saw his mom tied to a chair through a window.
"Hey, Raph, look." he said.
"I can't look!" Raph reminded him.
"There she is! It's mom." Tyler said. "I've gotta get down there."
He turned around and ran off.
"Ty, wait up here!" Raph called. "I'll..."
"I'm not waiting here!" Tyler argued as he stopped, and turned to Raph. "I can't. I promised her. I promised I'd come back for her. I promised."
Raph knew he was serious by the tone of his voice.
"Okay, alright, but we do this together." Raph said, giving in. "But we do this together. You're gonna have to be my eyes, and no steering me into walls this time, right?"
"Yeah, right." Tyler understood.
"We gotta get out signal straight first." Raph explained. "Here's what we do."
A little later, one of the goons walked past a bunch crates inside the warehouse. Raph - with Tyler holding onto his shoulders - pushed a window open, then climbed into the warehouse, then jumped down and landed on all fours.
Tyler looked at him as he sniffed through the air, smelling two goons ahead of them, before Tyler climbed off his shell.
"Good thing these guys wear a lot of aftershave." Raph admitted, as they both crept towards a box.
They both hid behind it, then Raph jumped out from behind it and stared at the goons.
"My advice: give up now." he said, getting the goons attention. "Save yourselves a world of hurt."
The goons laughed as they backed away, and then more of them showed up - including Weasel.
"Hey, I should thank you for making things so easy." he admitted. "We just had to wait till you brought the kid right to us. We got him boss!"
Tyler turned to Raph, as the Boss came out of the shadows.
"So this is the costume freak who caused me so much trouble." he said, taking his jacket off. "Do you know what I do to people who cause me trouble? I make 'em pay, personally."
He punched his fist.
"Talk to me, kid. Where is he?" Raph asked Tyler.
Boss smirked. "You're blind as a bat." he said with a sick grin.
He punched Raph in the face, knocking him onto his shell near Tyler, and then his men all cheered for him. Tyler helped him up, then he and Boss began circling each other.
"Now, kid, now!" Raph called.
Boss came at Raph again.
"2 o'clock!" Tyler called.
Raph ducked under a punch from Boss - just barely - and then jumped and roundhouse kicked him in the chest, knocking him back as he landed on the ground. Boss grunted, and then began to circle Raph again, as Raph stood still.
"5 o'clock!" Tyler shouted.
Raph roundhouse kicked Boss in the chest, knocking him back.
"Duck and roll!" Tyler shouted.
Raph ducked and rolled forward as Boss tried to punch him, and then he kicked him in the back, knocking him to his knees.
"Somebody shut that kid up!" Boss demanded, as sweat poured from his face.
"3 o'clock!" Tyler called, before Weasel came up behind him, and gagged him with his hand.
"Nice little game, but now we're playing blind man's bluff!" Weasel sniggered.
"Kid! Kid!" Raph called desperately.
Boss punched him right in the face, knocking him onto his shell.
"Ahh!" Raph groaned, as the goons laughed.
"Ahh!" Tyler groaned, muffled.
"All that karate stuff don't mean nothing, if you can't see!" Boss grinned sniggering.
"You got this, B!" a goon called, as Raph got to his knees.
"Kid, what's happening?" Raph called.
Boss then side kicked him in the chest as he got up, knocking him against some of the goons. The goons all laughed, and then the one closet to Raph pushed him towards Boss, who then punched him in the chest, making him fall to his knees.
"No!" Tyler cried, muffled.
"This is so easy." Boss smirked, rolling his sleeves up.
Raph groaned as he looked up, before Boss punched him in the face, knocking him onto his shell.
Tyler frowned, having enough, and then he bit Weasel's hand, making him let go.
"Ahhhh!" Weasel cried, touching his hand.
Tyler ran off, but then stopped by a few crates that were plied together, as Boss approached Raph - who was now back up.
"1 o'clock!" he called.
Raph jumped and kicked Boss in the chest, knocking him back.
"7 o'clock!" Tyler called.
Raph punched Boss in the chest, then spun around and kicked him in the same spot.
"3 o'clock!" Tyler called.
Raph roundhouse kicked Boss in the chest, knocking him back.
"Oh!" Boss moaned.
"1 o'clock!" Tyler called.
Raph ran a few steps forward, then spun around and kicked Boss in the chest.
"1, 1, 1!" Tyler called, as Raph kicked Boss three times.
"Ohh!" Boss groaned, before he fell down onto his back.
He then moaned as he lay unconscious, and then his boys gasped, all not believing their eyes.
Weasel then shook his head and snapped out of his shock.
"Don't just stand there, get 'em!" he bellowed loudly.
The goons all yelled as they ran towards Raph, as did Tyler, who then grabbed his arm and lead him away, making the goons bump into each other.
Tyler led Raph to a bunch of crates and boxes that were plied up.
"Push these over." he said.
Raph grabbed one of the boxes at the bottom, then pulled on it, making it and the pile fall, as the goons charged at him, blocking their path.
A few minutes later, Tyler led Raph to a barred door, which had his mother on the other side.
"I think they got my mom in here, but there's a big lock on the door we have to break." Tyler explained, making Raph touch it. "Then, we can..."
"Tyler, one sec." Raph interrupted, touching Tyler's shoulder, before crouching down. "It might not be the best thing for your mom to see a big green turtle right now. You promised you'd come back for her. Now go ahead and get her, pal."
"But, what about you?" Tyler asked.
"I'll follow ya out, but remember, head straight for the Police Station." Raph told him.
"Got it." Tyler understood.
"Hey, we did good for a couple of hotheads." Raph admitted, touching Tyler's shoulders. "Almost as good as me and my sister Elisa."
"Really?" Tyler asked, as Raph got up.
"Really. Guess that's why I'm closer to her than the rest of my family." Raph said.
"How many of you are there, anyway?" Tyler asked.
"Six, four boys, two girls." Raph answered. "I'm second eldest and Elisa's third."
Meanwhile, the goons were all trying to move the boxes and crates, which were pretty heavy.
"Come on! Come on!" one said.
"Hurry it up, you stupid dupes!" Weasel demanded, as he just watched.
Raph took one of his Sais out, and then used it to pick the lock of the door, which then opened.
"Mom!" Tyler called, running towards her, as Raph hid behind the door in the shadows.
"Tyler?" his mom questioned, shocked and happy.
Tyler hugged her once he reached her.
"But how did you-?" his mom asked.
"Later, mom." Tyler promised, as he began to untie her.
The goons kept moving the boxes and crates and Weasel watched.
Once untied, Tyler led his mom back through the door.
"Come on, let's go!" he said.
Once they were both out, Raph closed the door and stepped out of the shadows. He then rubbed his eyes, then held his hand out, before his vison suddenly went back to normal, telling him he was no longer blind. He lowered his arm, as the goons finally pushed the boxes and crates out of the way, creating a gap to climb through, and then he smirked, before walking off.
Weasel watched as the men all walked over the crates and boxes, when he felt someone touch him from behind, making him turn around, to see it was Raph.
"Well, if it ain't Mr. Blind Green and Ugly?" he smirked mockingly.
"You got some nerve talking about 'ugly', pal, wearing a tie like that." Raph smirked, pointing at Weasel's tie.
Weasel gasped slightly, and then looked worried, now knowing he was no longer blind.
"Wha?! You can see?" he asked, fear in his voice.
"I can see." Raph grinned, before grabbing Weasel by the collar. "Though, looking at you, I'm already kinda missing the blind thing."
He then threw Weasel into the crates as he screamed, making them all topple over.
"Aghh!" the goons moaned, as they fell over with them.
Raph laughed with a snigger.
Later, Tyler led his mom towards the entrance to the Police Station. He then let go of her hand, then picked the tape up out of his pocket, and handed it to her. They both smiled at each other, then Tyler turned, and saw Raph standing up on the opposite rooftop.
Raph then held his thumb up, then Tyler turned to his mom as she looked up, but saw nothing. Tyler turned back to the roof, before turning to his mom, and then pushed her into the Police Station. He took one last look at the rooftop, and then followed his mom inside the station.
Raph looked down from the roof and smiled, then he turned around and ran along the roof. He jumped and grabbed hold of a pole, which he then swung around, before he let go and landed on another rooftop. He then ran along it, then jumped off it when he reached the end, continuing his search for his father.
