Chapter 1
"We're dead."
"No we're not."
Trinity and Splinter were running up a long set of stairs with three agents and a lot of police backup close on their heels.
"We ain't gonna make it outta 'is one," Splinter insisted.
"Yes we will," came Trinity's deadpanned reply.
"Anyone ever tell ya you're a hopeless optimist?"
"No. Anyone ever tell you that you need to lighten up a bit. Life isn't all doom and gloom you know."
"It sure ain't a flippin' bed o' roses."
They never even broke stride as they both charged up the stairs in a desperate dash for freedom. It wasn't that they thought they could outrun the Agents forever or anything. They were just hoping to get to a hard line that was still intact before the Agents finally caught up with them.
Right about then, as they reached the top of the first stairway and rounded the corner, at the end of the hall, they saw an Agent with his gun up and ready to shoot. They both just barely ducked out of the way before the first bullet slammed into the wall behind where they had been standing.
"This ain't good," Splinter moaned.
"Will you shut up!" Trinity snared at him.
"I say again, darlin' we're dead."
Trinity was about to reply when they heard the Agents gun begin barking again, but it sounded like the bullets were flying the opposite direction. Even more strange, the bullets didn't seem to be hitting anything. The gun stopped firing, and a few seconds later, they heard the Agents scream, and what sounded like a digitized, muffled explosion.
Then, for a few seconds, there was silence.
"Are you two coming, or are you planning to wait around for the rest of the Agents to show up?"
It was Neo. They both ran around the corner and there he was. black trench coat, wrap-around sunglasses and all. The Agent, of course, was nowhere to be seen. All three turned and continued running up the stairs.
They reached the top without further incident. When they reached the top, they were greeted by group of 10 policemen, in a semicircle, with guns at the ready.
"Freeze!!"
Naturally, they had no inclination to do so.
Splinter went for the three on the left, Trinity for the three on the right, and Neo went right up the middle.
Trinity hit the guy in the middle feet first, and then snapped up to a standing position with arms straight out and clothes-lined the two others on either side.
Splinter jumped forward and slid feet first at his first opponent, on his left. He kicked up with his left foot into his opponent's chest, sending him flying toward the edge of the building. At the same time, he kicked the next guy down with his right foot, caught his gun, and shot the last one with it, just as he was beginning to morph into an Agent.
Neo simply ran right at the last four, taking the back two down with running punches to the throat and dodging the bullets the other two, so they ended up shooting each other.
Neo didn't even break stride as he ran toward the edge of the building, with Trinity and Splinter in close pursuit. When all three jumped, Neo jumped higher, so that, even though he jumped first, he landed almost a full second after Trinity and Splinter. As they soared over the gap, Neo turned in midair and shot the three policemen that coming running out the door they had just gone through. When they landed, they ran to the other edge, where Trinity, then Splinter dropped onto the fire escape and climbed quickly down. Neo planned to wait until they got to the bottom, then drop down and let the gravity that only existed in his mind get him to the bottom a lot quicker than climbing would have done. When they were halfway down, three Agents on the other building came out the door and started firing at him. He just held up a hand, and every bullet they fired stopped almost three meters in front of him, then dropped to the roof top.
He turned, planning to follow Trinity and Splinter. And ran into the last thing he ever expected.
I just want any Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans to know that, no; there is no connection between the Splinter in this story and the Turtles rat- like leader.
