Yes. I will be right there.
"Señor Hueso! Mi amigo! It has been too long, hasn't it?"
The bone man looked flatly at Leo. "And yet, somehow not long enough."
It was light in the pizza restaurant for a Thursday both in terms of staff and patrons. The angler waiter was attending a rhino-like couple in a booth by the door, Exploding Frankie entertained a family of five lizard-birds, and three rock-like Yokai sat in silence in a corner. It was the only reason the manager was lucky (or unlucky) enough to be serving Leo himself, much to the teen's glee.
He laughed at the banter. "That's a good one. Listen, I'm about to make up for all the business you missed from us because I have got a huge order to fill. And, it's to go."
Hueso looked skeptically at the booth the turtle had made himself comfortable in. Leo kept his trademark smile in place as the manager came around. The bone man could deny it all he wanted, but Leo knew he had a certain charm that worked on him. Surely, if Hueso was ever serious about being annoyed with his buddy/pal/mentee/partner in crime, he would just kick him out of the restaurant, right? At least, that was Leo's reasoning. But come on, Hueso loved him, didn't he?
"Fine," Hueso gave in. "What is the occasion?"
"Oh, nothing in particular, it's just been really quiet in the lair." Leo propped an elbow on the table while his other arm looped around the hilt of his odachi. "I mean, Raph's not sleeping well, Donnie's buried under his tech, and Mikey's still on a mission to draw our greatest foe to the light, which got him and Donnie grounded for like, ever. So I figure we get a whole bunch of pizzas from Run of the Mill and kick off a Jupiter Jim marathon to start everyone fresh! So whaddaya say about helping me out?"
"Hmm. For once, that is not such a stupid idea."
"I get those more often than people think, but perfect." He propped up a menu. "Now, for starters, we'll want at least four-"
He paused, frowning as he felt a tremor run up through his feet. He looked around to place where it was coming from, but there was no music playing or anything with a heavy bass that could account for it. "Do you feel that?"
"Pepino, I am made of bone, I do not 'feel' anything in the traditional sense."
Leo chuckled customarily, but subtly shifted his arm to grip his sword instead of merely lean on it. "Right, of course. So, um, like I was saying, we want four…"
The tremor took on a pattern, thrumming along the floor. He tried to focus on the menu but couldn't. He gave up and set it down, eyes coming to rest on the wall that led to the alley. For an instant, he could have sworn he saw outside. He blinked, but the mural was back, now. Trying to remain casual as the warning bells rang in his head, he nudged Hueso.
"Is something wrong with your door?"
Hueso turned.
The wall to the alley glitched again in a slow wave, like a lagging video game, and then cut out entirely.
A dozen humans stood outside.
And they were armed.
They all wore the same suits Leo had seen in Central Park, except for 3 of them. There was an orange-haired man crouching by a large, bulbous device on the ground that was emitting loud pulses, a huge guy in black tactical gear with a scarf and scar across his face, and a man in a long-coated suit.
That man raised his arm and pointed. "Move in."
The humans started rushing forward.
Leo was already on his feet, rolling his shoulders and swishing his sword. "I take it they don't have a reservation, do they?"
"No," Hueso answered, eye sockets going wide.
That was all he needed to hear. Leo cracked his neck and started running lightly towards the humans pouring in. He leapt over a table Starsky and Hutch style and twisted in the air, odachi changing hands. When he came out of the spin, his sword had enough force behind it to chop off the barrel of the first gun.
The human dropped the remains in surprise. Leo kicked it up into their face.
"Bulls-eye!"
Two other humans were moving around the gunless one, now, trying to flank him. Nope, definitely not a fan of that. He drove forward at one, thrusting the point of his sword into their gun to deflect it away from him. The air shifted around him.
Behind. Left.
He canted his body to the right and felt the ball of bright, blue energy crackle as it passed him. It slammed into the human he was attacking and they jerked, twitching violently. Electricity.
He pulled his sword from their gun before it could spread to him and whirled at the human who had fired the shot. Swing, up. The next shot went into the ceiling. He kicked the human backwards before they could recover, sword hooking their gun away in the same movement. It collided with the first human's helmet and they went down.
Leo took a couple steps back, breathing hard. A shuddering thud drew his attention to the right. The slow-moving angler was somehow now in a metallic cage. Two more humans tossed a couple metal cubes at the rhino-Yokai trying to escape their booth. Upon impact cages sprang up around them, as well.
"Okay, that's not good."
He started to move towards them but was interrupted by the most vicious battle cry ever. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Frankie screamed, and hurled himself at a group of humans. He exploded just before impact, and the humans flailed.
Despite himself, Leo laughed. "Oh, every time," he wiped a tear from his eye. He gripped his sword with both hands and jumped into Frankie's place, protecting the bird family. "Get out of here, go!"
They squawked and scrambled, unsure where to go with the main entrance blocked. Leo glimpsed Hueso ushering the rock Yokai towards the coveted Hall of Champions. Of course! The maze wasn't exactly a way out, but maybe they could lose the humans in it should they follow.
Swish, clang. He rebounded a cube-cage at the human who threw it. When it popped open it swallowed another person with it. He grinned. Oho, two in one! How many could he get to fit in the next one?
Frankie was reassembling when Leo felt the ground tremble beneath his feet, contrary to the pattern the machine was giving off. He turned and saw that the large man with the scarf had jumped towards the crowd running for the maze. His jaw dropped when the guy actually cleared the distance, beating the group to the door. The entire restaurant shook with the force of his landing. Unclipping them from his belt, Scarf-face flung a handful of cube-cages at them.
Leo grabbed Frankie's reformed hand. "C'mon!"
He threw the googlyschmootz towards Hueso and the patrons and sailed through the air after him. Tucking inside his shell, he spun. The air charged and snapped around him as the humans took aim with their stun guns.
When he landed, Hueso nearly tripped over him, the only one thin enough to slip out of his cage. "Señor, I think we might be a bit outnumbered. We need to get out of here."
"Yes, but they have blocked all of the exits." They ducked as another cube-cage sailed overhead. It trapped a chair against the far wall.
"Then we make our own exit." He brandished his odachi. "Grab what cages you-"
Frankie cried out, body twitching with blue energy.
Leo whirled, barely bringing his sword up in time to deflect the stun gun. It was the man in the suit. How did he get behind-?
The man let the gun sail out of his grip and pulled out a machete, meeting his counterstrike. "So, you want to play, huh?"
"Is that what you call this?" he hissed through gritted teeth. This guy was strong. If only he could-
The man stomped on his foot. Leo bit his lip hard to keep from crying out. In a flash, their hold broke and the man sliced sideways at him. He barely managed to arc his gut enough to avoid the hit. This guy was quick. Another slice. He jumped backwards, putting more space between them.
"Pepino!"
Something hard and bony slammed him to the side. The air crackled and his eyes widened as Hueso took the shot meant for him. The electricity fizzled around the manager… but Hueso remained standing.
The bone Yokai turned and looked miffed at the scarred man who had fired. "Really, coleta?" he said dryly. Green flames ignited around his head. "I have no nervous system."
The suited man lunged with his machete. Hueso caught it with his forearm. Leo flinched as steel bit bone.
"Get out of here, Pepino!" he shouted.
"I'm not leaving you!"
"Yes, you are. FIND HELP. Now go!" He let the machete cleave through his arm, then snatched the limb with his other hand while the blade was on the downstroke. The suited man lurched backwards to avoid a long-ranged slap.
Leo felt more than saw Scarf-face raise his stun gun towards him again. Biting his lip again and tasting blood, he sliced his sword in a circle on the ground. If he timed this just right…
Scarf-face fired. Leo held up two fingers as he fell through the portal. "See ya."
He vanished, but not before he glimpsed the volley of electricity slam into the dueling suit and skeleton. Bulls-eye.
