You Know What They Say About Fear...

Raph tossed him harshly against to the marble floor, as he did so John picked up Kyou's sword.

"He is going to pay for the death of my mother."

He held the sword under Kyou's chin.

"John you can't go through with it, he's not worth the trouble. Let the police get him," Don urged.

"No. If he hadn't recruited me and forced me into joining then my mother would still be living."

"If you kill him you will give him the satisfaction of becoming a martyr in the Black Lotus, he would suffer much more if he were forced to live without the Lotus rather than to die for it. Plus if you kill him the cops won't be able to get the info out of him to end the Black Lotus practices of recruiting youth and other families will go through the same pain and suffering you went through," Leo reasoned.

John tossed the sword away and helped Don tie up Kyou with computer plugs and wires.

"Stop where you are," a raspy voice ordered.

John and the turtles turned slowly and saw the longhaired guy John had shot.

"Why aren't you dead?" John asked bewildered.

He laughed and then answered John's question.

"You didn't shoot me up bad enough to kill me. You just got in a few shots here and there. The shots took a toll on my body so I played possum to recover some energy."

"Who are you?"

"Don't you know who I am ... I know who you are. I am the awesome, Jun Kurosawa, second chief officer in the Black Lotus."

He ripped off the bloody remnants of his shirt and tied scraps around his thigh and shoulder. Kurosawa had been shot badly in the right shoulder, twice in the chest, and three times in his left thigh, yet he was still alive.

"You're not leaving this building breathing, you traitor!"

Clearly Kurosawa recognized John, but John did not know him at all. They circled each other as their fight began. John struck first; he delivered a merciless kick to Kurosawa's right shoulder. Kurosawa was in obvious agony and the force of the attack knocked him back. John attacked the vulnerable shoulder again with a left hook and followed up with another kick. John slid into his legs and knocked him down, they both got up at the same moment and Kurosawa charged first. He grabbed John by the wrists and they struggled for dominance. Kurosawa head butted him, which caused John's nose to bleed. He kicked Kurosawa in the chest, using both feet to break free of his grip. John wiped his nose and resumed his attack.

John fought at full speed; jabbing Kurosawa in the face repeatedly until his face was bloody, then he head butted Kurosawa with full force. Kurosawa fell and John began kicking him in the ribs, however he soon rolled away and was able to dodge the next kick. He rose to his feet quickly and smiled at John, while baring his bloody teeth. Kurosawa came at John bombarding him with kicks to the chest, ribs, and face and then attempted to finish him with a powerful elbow to the gut. John began to fall back, but he was able to bicycle kick Kurosawa, catching his chin with a powerful blow. Kurosawa hung in the air for a split second and then crashed headfirst onto the marble floor, blood instantly trickled out from his head.

"All right, it's all over. Lets get out of here and let the police sort everything out," Leo said.

Leonardo and Raphael grabbed their weapons that were lost in battle and everyone was about to leave.

"Hold on Leo. John's prints are gonna be all over the gun, we need to erase them."

Don used Kengo's shirt to wipe the gun clean and just in case added Kengo and Kurosawa's prints to cover any partial prints leftover. Michaelangelo pulled a nearby fire alarm and they all left the building. A week later the turtles were watching the news and once again Tina Chung was reporting.
