Chapter 4

All right. As promised, I am going to attempt to write a fight scene. I hope it works. It's short, but it will be 'continued' in the next chapter. And a special note to Dory's Human Replica: You are quite welcome. I like your story too. I am 14 also. OK. ON with the show!

THUMP. A loud noise was heard in the kitchen of the turtles' lair. Donatello looked up for a second while sparring with Leonardo. That second earned him a kick in the head.

"Ha! You should always keep your focus in a fight, Don," Leo said triumphantly.

Don put his hand up, a signal for a time-out. "Hang on, Leo...did you hear that?"

"Hear what?"

THUMP.

"There it is again."

Leo was thoughtful, listening hard. "It's coming from the kitchen." He and Don exchanged looks and headed to the kitchen.

Nothing could prepare Don and Leo for what they saw upon entering the kitchen.

Michelangelo was sitting on the counter, Sonny at his feet, holding a hammer, pounding away at one of the cabinets. And Raphael was...helping him.

Donnie scratched his head. "Now there's something you don't see every day," He said.

Leo stood with his mouth open. "Raph...Mikey...what are you doing?"

Mikey looked up from his pounding. "Fixing the cabinet, bro. It was broken." Mikey grabbed the cabinet door and swung it from side to side, to demonstrate how he fixed it. Suddenly all the hinges came apart and the door came off in Mikey's hand. "Oops."

Don sighed and came forward, grabbing a screwdriver from Raph. "Here....let me help."

Leo looked down at Sonny, who was staring up at Mikey. "That cat really likes you Mikey," he commented.

"Yeah, that's probably 'cause I rescued him from the wild," Mikey said happily.

"Oh yeah, Mikey, you're a real Lassie," Raph said from his spot on the floor.

Mikey frowned. "No...Lassie's a dog. I'm a turtle."

All three brothers laughed at that. Just then Splinter came into the room.

"My sons...April is on the...shell cell. She says she has important news."

While Donnie went to go answer the phone, Splinter observed the room. "Michelangelo," he said, "What did you do to the cabinet?"

In the living room, Donnie picked up his shell cell and held it to his ear. "April?"

"Hey Don."

"What's up?"

"Just thought you guys ought to know...there are some guys robbing the Artifacts Museum next to my apartment. They look kinda like...Foot soldiers."

"We'll be right there April." Click.

Don came back into the kitchen. "Leo. Foot soldiers. Artifacts Museum. Now."

Leo immediately understood. "Guys, get your weapons. We're going to kick some Foot butt!" Leo threw a quick glance to Mikey, then to Sonny. "And Mikey...please make sure Sonny stays here."

"No problemo."

Inside the Battle Shell, across the street from the museum, Raph strained to see in the dark. "I don't see anyone," he said. "Think they bailed?"

Leo frowned. "Maybe..." Suddenly he saw a movement near one of the windows. "No! There! Let's go!"

All four brothers jumped out of the Battle Shell and stealthily approached the building.

"Ok," Leo instructed in a whisper, "Raph, go up the left side alley. Mikey, the right one. Donnie, go in through the back. I'll go in through the front. And be careful."

With that the turtles all separated and quietly approached their entrances.

Raph got to his side entrance first. He spotted a fire exit. Good, he thought to himself. Now I won't have to crawl in through a window.

He reached towards the door to pull it open. But his ninja senses stopped him. Swiftly he whipped around, expecting to see some Foot ninja. What he saw was....Sonny. Staring up at him with those huge brown eyes.

Raph groaned inwardly. "Come on, ya dumb cat, what do you want? You're supposed to be Mikey's pet. And I ain't got time to be your scratching post right now." He paused. "How did you get here anyway?"

Raph shook his head. He was talking to a cat. Raph leapt towards the cat, growling, in an attempt to make him run off. Sonny stood his ground, still staring. Something about that stare gave Raph the shivers.

Raph shook his head again. He didn't have time for this. He opened the fire exit and went in.

Inside the museum, it was dark. Having lived in a sewer for most of his life, Raph was accustomed to this kind of darkness, but it still made him uneasy.

He passed a row of Ninja statues. Raising an eye ridge, Raph went to take a closer look. Suddenly one of the 'statues' whipped out a sword and began to attack him!

Shoulda seen that coming, Raph thought to himself as he blocked a painful blow form the Ninja's sword with his arm. Luckily the flat side of the blade struck his arm instead of the sharp side.

Fending off the Ninja as best he could with his sais, Raph caught a glimpse of something across the room. Something brown. And furry. Sonny! And he was heading straight for the Ninja.

SQUEEEEEE!!! I'm happy. I made the chapter longer. For me at least. Don't worry, this isn't all there is to the fight scene, there will be more in the next chapter. Oh, this wasn't originally in the plot line, but I just thought of this like yesterday. For the rest of the story, there is going to be a little mystery about Sonny. Just so you know.
