"How long have we been out here?"
"About half an hour," Leo answered. He looked over to his brother, Donnie, and sighed. "I don't know if we'll find him tonight, Don."
"We can't just stop looking." Donnie started to say.
"There's over two dozen warehouses out here," interrupted Leo. "It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack."
An almost blood-curdling scream rang out through the vicinity. Leo and Donnie quickly looked to each other. "Raph!" They both exclaimed simultaneously. They stopped looking around and ran towards where the heard the scream. They came upon the largest warehouse in the area. Leo rushed forward towards the building before being stopped by his brother.
"What?" Leo asked.
"Look." Donnie pointed towards the lone guard standing in front of the entrance.
"I'll take care of him." With that, he parted momentarily from Donnie and went around the warehouse, soon sliding next to the guard. He unsheathed a single katana and clouted the guard with the blunt side of his sword. The guard's body went limp as it became unconscious. Leo waved his brother and creaked the door open slightly.
He looked inside, only to see a large, dark, and empty room. "Doesn't look like anyone's around," he whispered as his brother appeared by his side.
"Looks can be deceiving Leo," warned Donnie.
"Isn't that the truth?" A voice called from inside the building. Leo and Donnie turned from each other and looked back inside. There, standing in the center of the room, was a figure masked by the shadows.
"Who are you?" Demanded Leo.
"Well isn't that the question of the day." The figure laughed. "Won't you come in little turtles?"
Leo opened the door fully and walked in slowly, Donnie following at his heels. While Donnie's eyes remained locked on the figure, Leo looked around the room continuously, watching out for an ambush. "Answer the question," Donnie ordered.
"Who I am isn't important.what's important is that I know where your brother is and you don't!" The figure taunted.
As the turtles continued their slow advance on the shadowy form, they drew their weapons and prepared to fight. "Tell us where he is," Leo commanded.
"Now why would I want to do that?" Asked the figure in a curious tone.
"'Cause if you don't, we'll shred you into pieces."
"Oooh, I'm really scared now."
Leo growled and lunged for the figure. As he became closer, he leaped into the air and slashed at their opponent. However, as he landed back on the ground, he realized that the figure had dodged his attack.
"You'll have to do better than that." Then, the playfulness from the figure's voice disappeared and turned angry. "A lot better."
The lights in the warehouse turned on suddenly and the turtle brothers found themselves surrounded by a crowd of Foot Soldiers. They looked over to where the figure had been and were slightly shocked to see a cat-girl. She raised one of her hands into the air and pressed her thumb and middle finger together. An evil grin appeared on her feline face. "Have fun," she giggled before snapping her fingers.
The Foot Soldiers rushed towards Leo and Donnie as the cat-girl faded behind the crowd.

A nearly unconscious Raph was strapped down onto metal bed, electrical wires attached sporadically around his body. He had been going through a torturous shock therapy, courtesy of the evil talking brain called Krang. The little creature was sitting on its wheeled chair in front of a control panel, its slimy pink tentacles wrapped around a small lever. An evil grin spread onto its face as it pulled the lever once more.
Electrical surges went throughout Raph's body, causing him tremendous pain. He had let the first shock get to him earlier, but he bit his tongue and wouldn't let his enemy get the best of him. Krang laughed maniacally before pushing the lever back up, stopping the torture briefly.
"Well, Kurai, things are going well out front?" Krang asked as the feline mutant walked into the room.
"Yes, yes. Both of the turtles are fighting the Boss' soldiers right now." She looked over at Raph, who slowly turned his head to look at her. She noticed his state and a sympathetically looked back over to Krang. "Don't you think he's had enough?"
"What? Of course not! There's no such thing as too much torture!"
"But you'll kill him if you keep putting him through this," she argued.
"That's the point, my dear," Krang told her.
"Krang. If we kill him now, then we won't have the pleasure of seeing all three of the turtles being killed together," Kurai pointed out.
"Very well," he acquiesced. "Take him back to his cell. I have to go talk to my associate anyways." He left the room, leaving Kurai to deal with Raph.
Kurai walked over to him and began to take the straps and wires off of him, not worrying about him escaping at the moment. She knew that he was too weak to move, much less get away.
"Did.did you mean that?" Raph was able to cough up.
Kurai quirked a brow and looked down at him. "Excuse me?"
"Did you.mean what you.said about.seeing me and my brothers.being killed. And enjoying.it?"
Her expression softened as she looked away and continued taking wires from his body. "No, I didn't."
"Then...why'd you say it?" He asked, tilting his head slightly.
She stopped what she was doing and looked him in the eye. "I have to say and do certain things to keep myself from being killed," she confessed. "I.I wouldn't really want to see you, or your brothers, killed. I'm not like that." She looked away from him again and finished taking all the straps and wires off of him.
"Well.thanks," he said as she started pulling him off of the table. He smiled at her, that strange feeling coming over his body once more. A small smile appeared on her face as she slung his arm around her shoulder and began to carry him back to his cell.
Well.I hope you liked this chapter! I know I sure did! ^.^ hope you also like where the story is going.and if you don't know where it's going then shame on you! ^.~ kidding! More to come soon!
