Anthrophobics

Suddenly John and the turtles heard a door close and saw a man by the door leading up to the roof. They also heard helicopter blades beginning to whirl above them, they couldn't get to the door because the guy was in the way. John saw that the man was Tatsuya Kyou, the third chief officer of the Black Lotus. He was average height, not muscular, and had long black hair tied into a ponytail. He was dressed to fight; he wore a stylized version of the Black Lotus uniform that was all black and seemed more protective than the regular one. He also held a sword in his right hand.

"The other chief officers are gonna get away if we don't hurry," John said.

"We'll distract this guy, you and Don go after the others," Leo shouted.

Kyou leapt down from the stairs he was standing on and proceeded to attack Mikey, which gave Donatello and Don a chance to run up the stairs. The opened the door and rushed up the stairs only to find that they were too late, the helicopter was already too high off the ground for them to do anything.

"We're too late the helicopter is too high up," John said.

The helicopter looked like it was headed in the direction of the airport; the chief officers seemed to be trying to flee from the city. Donatello and John raced back down the stairs to help the others.

"You will pay for ruining our plans! If you had died as we had intended we might have convinced the Council that firearms are more beneficial than the old ways. They were close to siding with us; this would have contributed to our argument and given us enough honor and glory to rule on the Council."

"If you like firearms so much why aren't you using one now?" Mikey asked.

"Never mind your idiotic question freak!"

John and Donatello weren't sure what they were talking about, but they could see that the turtles were losing. Raphael didn't have either of his sais and was slumped in a corner, Leonardo was kneeling on one knee holding only one of his katanas, and Michaelangelo was panting heavily; meaning he just got his shell kicked by Kyou.

"I'm giving you three choices: You can either surrender peaceful and survive with your life, fight me in a another battle where you may get beaten severely or die, or I'll let you take the honorable way out and commit seppuku," Leo said to Kyou.

"Ha! I will never give up against you freak and I will not lose either. Seppuku is dead, like taboos in Japanese ninja gang warfare were about to before you destroyed my dream! No, I will not commit seppuku that is for the old and traditionalist cowards back in Japan."

Leonardo readied his blade and the two sword masters began to circle each other. Leo leapt toward Kyou, but when he made the mistake of exposing himself in midair Kyou saw it and cut Leo's arm. Leo saw the cut was not deep and continued to fight. Leo's katana struck the metal of Kyou's sword and the clashing metals rung throughout the room. Leo forced Kyou backward and knocked him to the ground, Leo stabbed at him and was blocked by Kyou's sword. Kyou kicked Leo back and gained enough time to get to his feet.

They swung at each other repeatedly, only to have their attacks blocked. Leo pulled back and stared his opponent in the eyes only to see blind hate and rage being fueled by ambition. Leonardo charged forward and slit open Kyou's uniform's chest area.

Kyou put his hand to this chest and saw that Leo's attack drew blood. Kyou flipped Leo on his shell and attempted to cut off his head, but Leo withdrew it in time. Leonardo spun in order to knock Kyou off of his feet and brought his head out of his shell. Both of them rose to their feet very slowly and their sword fighting resumed. Leonardo went for Kyou's neck, but was instantly blocked. Kyou kicked Leo back, knocked his katana out of his hand, and forced him to the floor. Before Kyou was even able to move another half step Donatello was already on his back and wrestled him to the ground. Leonardo got up and kicked Kyou's sword away and began to question him.

"Where are the other chief officers headed?"

Kyou remained silent.

"I'll make him talk," Raph said.

Raph picked him up and dragged him toward the large office windows and proceeded to open them. He grabbed Kyou by the collar of his uniform and dangled him outside.

"You gonna answer the question now tough guy?"

Kyou looked down at the gaping height and knew he would be killed if he fell.

"I swore total allegiance to Kagemi Ryu and the Lotus; I will never betray either of them. Do you actually think I would be scared to die for the Black Lotus? If I die now, I will be remembered as a martyr for the Lotus, as someone so great that he had to be killed out of battle."

"Raph put him down; we need to leave him for the cops to find," Leo ordered.
