Freaks Wanted
"Finally I get a shot at taking down a freak, there's no way I'm gonna lose!"
"Where did you come from?" Don asked.
"Does it really matter I'm here now, here to kill a freak."
They stopped talking and started fighting; Donatello swung his bo staff like a bat and connected with the ninja's gut. The ninja shoved him back and while Don was trying to regain balance he was punched in the face. The Lotus attacked with three more punches and Don staggered a little. Don shoved the Lotus and attempted strike with his bo staff, but the Lotus hurdled over his head before he got the chance and drove his foot into Don's skull. Don fell to the ground and ended up dropping his weapon. The Lotus ninja grabbed Don's bo staff thrust it into Don's chest forcefully and then began to repeat the move. The ninja raised the bo staff high over his head to attack even stronger, but Don managed to roll out of harm's way.
Don got back to his feet and instantly grabbed the ninja and tossed him into the warehouse wall. He didn't give the ninja a chance to move when he charged after him to unleash a fierce body slam. Don put the Lotus in a tight headlock and assumed that the battle was soon to be over, however he was wrong in his assumption. The Lotus ninja fought back with elbows to Don's midsection and finally hit Don hard enough to escape from his hold. Don palmed the ninja's head like a basketball player would with a basketball and slammed it into the wall.
"Aaah!" The Lotus ninja screamed in pain, but he wasn't about to let it affect him.
He elbowed Don in the face to get away from the wall and then dropkicked him, they both took some time before getting to their feet. The ninja swung, but Don grabbed the assailant's fist and punched him in the face with his free hand. All of a sudden the faint wail of several police sirens could be heard, which meant the police were coming soon. Don released the ninja's fist and smashed the ninja's head with his elbows. The Lotus ninja clutched his ears and staggered about.
"Don, finish this quick we gotta get out of here," Raph urged.
Raph was right the sound of the siren's was keener than before, within moments the NYPD would be all over this area. At Raph's urging Don tried to finish this quick. Don attacked the Lotus with a powerful kick to the stomach and then he ran the ninja straight into the wall, which apparently finally knocked him out. Then Donatello, Raphael, and John escaped to the sewers with just enough time that the police missed them. When they finally returned Leo gave them some time to catch their breath before asking them question about what went down at the warehouse.
"How did it go?"
"Lion's still alive, but he and everyone inside the warehouse are going to be behind bars for a while," Don answered.
"Did the police see you?"
"Are you kidding me Leo? This is New York's "finest" we're talking about, do you think that if you're not always 'supervising' we'll just go out and screw up and forget our training?"
"I'm sorry, I guess you're right Don."
"Do you think we have finally defeated them?" Michelangelo asked.
"The Black Lotus are pretty determined to get control and set up a base so it's hard to say if they will ever give up."
"Master Splinter was right when he said things were going to get tougher so I doubt they'll give up this early, we will have to be ready to take on whatever new obstacles they bring at all times," Leonardo said.
Only a few days after beating Lion and the Black Lotus, John and the turtles began some intense training. They sparred with only one or two of them against two, three, and four others and they exercised and sparred with one or both of their arms tied behind their backs. Master Splinter was surprised by their initiative to train.
"By learning to overcome what used to be disadvantages you can surprise opponents and take the upper hand in what normally would be a loss."
He also taught them that a good defense is as crucial to battle as good offense. He showed them that they needed to use their weapons to block attacks and that the best defensive measure is not being hit at all. After a week of nonstop training they finally ended on late evening. They gathered around the couch and Don clicked on the TV and reporter Tina Chung was beginning to speak.
"Once again the notorious Black Lotus gang resurfaced in the community however once again mysterious vigilantes dispatched them. As we reported not too long ago, the Black Lotus was using the abandoned plastics warehouse as their place of operation. The police received a tip from an unknown person indicating the whereabouts of a staggering number of Black Lotuses. The skeletal remains of Kagemi Ryu, who was believed to be one of the high ranking officials in the organization, was found in the furnace. Lion Kyonarei, who is believed to be the number one Chief Officer and who had only recently arrived from Japan, is expected to be out of the hospital in the next few days."
"In fact there were many newly arrived Japanese members found at the warehouse, initial police reports confirmed sixty-one have been arrested and many more in hiding. There are said to be anywhere from thirty to sixty more Japanese members still loose on the streets."
"Also the police wanted me to send a message to the vigilantes. They would like a meeting with you to see if you know any information that might be beneficial to them."
"The city is going to try to work with customs officials to see if anything they have learned in dealing with this deadly gang will help to prevent more members from entering the country. The police do not believe the Black Lotus will just slink away from the area. The police are working with the FBI and possibly even the CIA to get the Japanese police force to crackdown on the gang over there. So that the Black Lotus will be forced to stop their North American spread because of a lack of resources and funds from intensified scrutiny due to police crackdowns. This is Tina Chung ended a live report from Chinatown and sending you back to the studio."
Donatello turned the TV off and began discussing the live report.
"I can't believe the police are hunting us down now. You'd think that they would be grateful for us doing their jobs twice."
"Of course you know their only plotting the meeting to find out who we are and why we're fighting the Black Lotus. We will definitely have to be even more cautious than normal from now on if we go to the surface or fight the Black Lotus." Leo said.
