5) Rebirth
Sound. Sounds of clashing steel and heavy breathing. It can be heard as the water flows in the sewer. Two large shapes move silently in the darkness. Each hold something. A bo and twin katana. The shapes move faster, sensing each others blows. Movement stops. The weapons are dropped, and the figures bow. Candlelight fills the dark void, and the shapes are seen.
They are turtles. Human sized turtles. Walking partially hunched on their back legs.
"Good bout Leo."
"We're getting better Don."
"Think Splinter will approve?"
"Who knows?"
The turtles walk through the water, silently making their way through the darkness. A sound breaks the silence. Running. A shadow. And voices. The shapes make their way to the sound, silently.
There are two shapes in the void. One cries. The other holds something.
A gun.
"Shut up bitch, or I'll blow your head off!"
"What do you want?"
"I said shut up!"
The armed one goes to strike his hostage. But his hand is stopped hard by a wooden shaft. A bo staff. The armed man's gaze follows the staff to it's wielder. He didn't have a chance to scream.
A hard blow with the bo to his gut, another to his head. Another to his gut. He moves backwards. Into another shape. And it's weapon.
A katana.
"Leave this place, and never comeback. Or I'll will make sure you feel my blade within you."
The man takes not a minute, and runs , runs to the nearest sewer cover. His hostage still sits.
The darkness blocks the few of her saviours.
"Thank you. Thank you for helping me."
The cold voice of the sword wielder is still apparent.
"It was our duty. Now leave this place."
The women stands up. The shapes are gone. All that can be heard, is splashing water. Then silence.
