Chapter 19
Thanks for the help Chuck!
"ShadowLeader," The laser tag employee asked looking down at the list of gamer ID's.
Leo hesitantly raised his hand and the employee signaled for him to enter the room be hide him.
Leo walked in to the small smoke filled starting room and another employee showed him how to gear up.
"Sweet tag Leo," Mikey cheered from there group of 30.
"Princess27," The young employ continued to call out other gamer names.
"TurtleTitian," Mikey walked up after finally hearing his name and pumped his fist, cheering, "Go Turtle Titian!"
"Vigilantly," Casey also entered the gear room.
"Babe," April growled annoyed at the gamer tag Casey gave her and followed the others into the gear room.
"RedNinja," Raph shrugged and followed his brothers and friends into the gear room.
"Donatello," Donnie came in last.
"Donnie you're supposed to pick a cool tag name," Mikey complained crossing his arms and tapping his foot.
"I didn't know what to pick so I just used my name," Donnie said shrugging while struggling to strapping on his crest plate on.
"I thought we had too, damn, now I am stuck with a stupid name," Raph said annoyed with his straps.
"I like your name Raphie," Mikey beamed at Raph, "but it's not as cool as THE TURTLE TITAN!"
"Since we haven't been training a lot lately this is going to be counted as stealth training, that means no outs" Leo said walking up to his brothers fully geared.
The three youngest gave annoyed faces.
"Winner gets out of chores for a week," Leo added.
"Yes!" Mikey yelled happily.
"Sweet," Raph agreed buckling the last strap.
"I can live with that," Donnie nodded.
"Then were agreed," Leo said walking away, "good luck," Leo said looking back and smirking.

RIINNGG!
After the starting bell went off we had only ten seconds till the guns activate and people can start shooting each other, so for the next five minutes I need a plan.
I ran with the crowed before slipping off to the side and I saw my brothers disappear.
1. 'Let's see, three stories'
2. 'Bottom has the most cover and shadows'
3. 'But the most people'
4. 'Mikey's here'
5. 'Second floor covers most the walls'
6. 'Must have secret cubbies'
7. 'Leo is probably there '
8. 'Third floor doesn't have to much cover but has a lot of strobe lights'
9. 'Easy to charge and intimidate people'
10. 'Raph, defiantly Raph'
Pew pew pew
'Times up, I will stay between floors one and two,' I nodded to myself before ducking into the small hallway I am in and poking my head out.
There were two, no three people down the wall lining.
I looked around the other corner.
Two people where shooting each other around a corner.
'I don't want to be trapped so I will take out the three along the side,' I agreed with myself.
I pushed myself against the wall and slid my way around the corner into a wider area.
I pushed myself into the outer corner of the hallway I was in and ducked down. The kid closest to me was lending up against the wall a crossed from the corner I was in and did not see me sneak passed him.
I angled my shot, which was pretty easy even though I do not really like guns, and lasered the kid.
The 13 year old jumped in shock when his chest piece started going off. He whipped his head around to see where the shot came from but could not see me. The kid bolted threw the hallway I just came from to find somewhere else to hide.
'One down,' I smiled to myself.
Deeper in to the square-ish room I was in there was a teenage girl kneeling in the corner against the room's wall, shooting at a boy a little bit younger than her around the corner a crossed from mine.
I angled my laser gun and shot her.
The brown hair boy she was fighting was shocked and I took a shot at him, setting his chest piece off too.
The two spilt, the girl running passed me and the small hallway to where the entrance was and the boy ran the opposite direction into a wider space.
The wide hallway area was clear so I continued to slide down the wall and dipped into another corner.
I was about to continue till I heard footsteps coming from the direction I just came.
'Must be that girl coming back,' I thought to myself.
I looked up when I heard someone running towers' me from the other side and someone else chasing them.
'Crap what do I do,' I asked myself leaning deeper into the corner.
The footsteps got louder from the left but the girl ran the other way on hearing the two boys running this way.
I kept trying to push myself deeper into the shadows hoping the wall would eat me, AND IT DID.
I let out a startled breath when I fell back into a small room.
'I love secret rooms,' I told myself happily sitting against the wall in the secret cubbie.
I heard the footsteps speed past me and peeked my head out of the cubbie.
To the left there was a large gap with a square post in the middle and on the other side was another hallway.
I heard some kids shooting at each other in that direction, they would be easy to take out.
I left the corner and ran to the square post and leaned against the wall closest to the hallway.
In front of me and past the hallway there was another gap that had two maybe 12 year old kids shooting at each other. One was hiding behind a wall that was connected the hallway I was going too and the other was hiding behind a small wall in a corner that acted like a shield.
I took three fast steps and made it into the hallway and blended into the shadows on the left side. The hallway had three other hallways connected to it with a square post the middle where they all connect.
One of the boys was in the hallway to my left. I slide down the wall I was on and turn into the corner to my left and saw the boy.
Before I could shoot the boy he took a step giving more risky and turned right out of the hallway.
I sighed and continued down the hall till I got to the end of the slender hallway. I peeked around the corner a saw the boy chickening out and scooting back down the wall toward me.
I looked around, no secret walls to save me this time. The boy was getting closer so I jumped up and place both my feet and hands on opposite sides of the wall to hold myself up and held the gun in a loop in my pocket.
The boy carefully looked into the hallway before entering and turning his head back to the other boy and continued shooting at him across the gap.
I smiled before reaching for my gun with my right hand and shooting the sandy blonde boy square in the back sending his alarm off and him looking around wildly be huffing and running to find a new target.
I dropped to the ground and went to the corner again; the other boy was still hiding behind the small wall probably wondering where the other boy went.
While he was not looking I rolled to the wall across from me where a shadow covered the area and began crawling to the small wall.
The wall had openings on both sides and the boy was hiding in the middle. I figured I would go to the left and get him before he looks up again.
I peeked around the small wall and saw the dark headed boy giggling before looking over the wall disappointed.
I smirked; right as the boy turned back I shot him. He looked at me in shock before looking down at the timer on his chest, that said he had five seconds to run before I could shoot him again, the stood up and ran.
I sat in the corner the wall made behind the small wall and planned what I would do next.
I was thinking before I noticed a dot of familiar blonde hair popping in and out of a dip in the ground pass the square post I hide behind before entering the hallway.
Kids surrounded the dip in the ground trying to get close only to get shot by Mikey and run back into hiding.
I watched gap mouthed, Mikey must have like 20 points and I only have what 5! I need to stop thinking and start shooting.
I nodded to myself and scaled the back down the wall passing by the hallway I just came out of down to the end of the wall.
I turned the corner and passed one of the hallways that was connected to that four way hallway. After that hallway there was a dip in the wall that made a corner where the sandy blonde kid from the hallway was hiding. I took him out and kept scaling the wall. I was about the past another hallway that was very short, but caught sight of a small blonde girl sitting against the wall with wide eyes and small honey freckles.
I entered the small hall and tapped her on the shoulder.
She whipped her head toward me her deep green eye staring at me in fear and gasped.
I put my hands up in surrender, "I promise not to shoot I come in peace," I said quickly and she giggled a little and I sat beside her against the wall.
Then the little girl huffed and looked down at the floor.
"Hey what's wrong," I asked the girl concerned.
"My brother is going to make fun of me cause I can't shoot anyone," She sighed after a while and played with the lase of her pink shoes.
I hummed for a while before I had a suggestion, "Hey how about I help you get a few points?"
"Really," she said happily gleaming at me.
I smiled warmly at her, "Sure why not," I stood up and looked down the hall I just came from before signaling her to come over.
There was a gap in-between this small hallway and another corner behind it.
I pointed out a boy barely visible in the shadows and the girl nodded before taking a couple shoots and missing each one. She sighed and shook her head. I grabbed my chin thinking before picking her up and putting her on my shoulders
I looked up at her and she smiled happily at me. I silently snuck up behind the boy before I signaled for the little girl to try again. She shoot him first try.
"Awww how do you do it Leo," Mikey asked his older brother looking at the score board.
Leo was at the top of the score with 46 points and 0 outs.
Raph was second with 42 points and 2 outs.
Mikey was fifth with 36 points and 5 outs.
Donnie was twenty-seventh with 8 points and 10 outs.
"Dud what the shell happened!?" Mikey asked in shock looking at Donnie.
"I uh got… preoccupied," Donnie said smiling at the board searching for a certain name.
Princess27 was thirteenth with 26 points and 3 outs.
"Well Donnie I hope you don't get 'preoccupied' tomorrow, when I take you out for extra stealth training," Leo said walking passed fight siblings to the exit.
"Right," Donnie said rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Uh hurry up guy I am tired," April said grumbly signaling for them to leave.
"You should be after I kicked you butt in laser tag," Casey said cockily pumping his fist in the air.
"I will lock you outside Jones," April said walking to the exit.
"Not if I can get their first!" Casey said running to his truck and taking off.
"Floor it April!" Mikey said leaning into the front seat from the back.
"Yeah, no now sit back," April said flicking him on the nose and starting the car.
