THE
SEED(Part III)
"Not so fast jerk let the ladies go and we might not beat you up too badly," Mikey warned.
The thugs looked at the turtles in a combination of fear, confusion, and anger and seeing the turtles the girls were becoming hysterical.
"Who the hell invited these freaks to the party?" The angry one asked.
"Does it matter? Come on lets teach these weirdoes a lesson." Someone said.
The thugs let go of the girls and they ran out as quick as possible. All of the thugs either had pipes or chains. Leonardo jumped high, spun, and then kicked knocking two guys out. Raphael charged toward someone holding a pipe. His assailant brought his pipe down hard to hit Raph, but he stopped it with his sais. Raph did a split kick to get the guy off balance and to get more space between them. The thug dropped his pipe and was still wobbly so Raph attacked. He dropped his shoulder and rammed the guy into the wall. Michelangelo, Donatello, and Leonardo surrounded the three remaining guys in an attempt to finish them off.
They looked at each other and nodded.
"Shellshock!"
They turned their shells to the thugs and sandwiched them, crushing them between their shells. Their attackers instantly crumpled into a pile.
"Who were these punks?" Raph smirked.
"That test did not measure up to your skills," a voice said from above.
The turtles looked up; the voice belonged to a Black Lotus standing on a balcony ledge. He was dressed in ninja garb that was all black with blue cloth wrapped around his arms and legs, it was a bit similar to the Foot's uniforms, but clearly distinctive enough to tell the difference. He stood there and examined the turtles and the trash and thug strewn alley and laughed.
"Who the hell is this loser?" Raphael growled.
"Can't you tell? Oh well, it doesn't matter I'll give you a closer look," the masked stranger said mockingly.
He hopped down from the balcony with the gracefulness of a cat.
"Whoa, this guy is for real." Donatello exclaimed.
As usual Raphael rushed into battle.
"Humph! Leave this to me!"
Raph charged at the guy fist first. However as fast as Raph attacked, this guy was ready for his assault. He quickly sidestepped Raph and allowed him to barrel into the wall. Raph whipped around and spin kicked, hitting the ninja's ribs. The ninja recovered quickly and sweep kicked Raph off his feet. Raph got up and they backed away from each other; with the enclosed space of the alley their moves were limited. Mikey, Don, and Leo wanted to jump in and help, but it was never a good idea to get in Raph's way in the heat of a battle. The ninja came at Raph with an elbow to the cheek, a hook to the chest and then a knee to the gut. Then he kicked him in the face sending Raph into the wall again.
Raphael got up slowly and they both attacked, he swung at the ninja and missed leaving himself open for a dropkick. However the dropkick didn't knock him down, rather Raph did a dual spinning kick and both times his blows struck the ninja in the face. Then Raph elbowed the ninja in the gut, causing him to double over.
"Is that all you got?" Raph asked.
No sooner than the last word had come out did the ninja strike back. He landed a monstrous kick into Raph's lower chest plate that forced him into the wall. Then he flipped Raph on his shell and began punching; Raph was defenseless. The ninja assaulted his face and chest with a barrage, but as he tired Raph was able to block his face and began to time the blows. Then Raph waited until an opportune time when he finally knocked the ninja off. They squared off only a few feet from each other and before the ninja expected it Raph used the walls to his advantage. He leapt from the left wall to the right and landed consecutive kicks to the ninja's face.
The ninja hesitated while on the ground for a second too long and Raph was able to land his vicious knee drop into the ninja's gut. The Lotus was gasping for air, Raph was ready to strike again, but he was stopped.
"Hold on Raph, we need to keep him conscious if we're gonna get any info from him," Leo urged.
Raph glared at Leonardo, then the ninja and stepped aside. The turtles moved closer to the fallen Lotus member and formed a circle around him. He was panting heavily, but otherwise only seemed shaken.
