At the sound of the command the Foot immediately leapt the distance between the buildings and dropped into battle stances surrounding the two turtles. The instance Leonardo and Raphael heard the command they shifted their stances so they were guarding each others shell, in hopes of sticking close by each other and preventing too much injury. As the Foot slowly closed in on the two brothers, Leonardo frantically looked around scanning the area for any idea as to how they could quickly escape this predicament.

Then it came. The first strike attempt was a katana aimed directly toward Raphael's head. Raph, sensing the enemy attacking him, reached up with his sai catching the blade between the prongs of his weapon. With just a flick of his wrist he had his attacker disarmed and put his other sai through the guys shoulder, making him unable to fight any longer. As the guy went down, clutching his shoulder, in a lame attempt to stop the pain and blood flow where Raphael's sai had penetrated, Raphael thought to himself, If the rest of these guys are as easy as that one, this'll be jus' like the regular sparrin' session.

Leonardo was also holding his own quite well, just behind Raphael. In the moment Raphael was taking down the first attacker, Leonardo was fending off two others, of his own. The first struck at him with his set of nunchakus, though it was a failed attempt, as Leo expertly dodged the attack. He then swept the mans feet out from under him and with the hilt of his katana knocked the guy unconscious. He then looked up and jumped across the guy he had just taken out, to intercept the next attack aimed for him.

Soon Leonardo and Raphael were on opposite sides of the roof as they both were now on the defensive, fighting at least five men at a time. Both brothers were beginning to tire rather quickly now, as every time they took out one attacker, another would immediately replace him. They were battered and bruised, though nothing too serious, and needed a plan for escape.

Then, without warning, the Shredder leapt from the other roof heading directly toward Leonardo, with fist clenched and the bladed hand pulled back and ready to strike.

Raphael, suddenly feeling immense danger, struck out at the guy he was fighting, quickly rendering him unconscious. He then turned around to where his sibling was and in a split second located the source of the danger and sadly realized there was nothing he could do to help Leonardo from the other side of the roof. Being stubborn as he was, Raphael would not give up. He took off in a dead sprint toward the other end of the building, screaming the only thing that came to his mind.

"Leo!"

When Leonardo heard the distress in his brothers voice, as his name was yelled, he instantly whipped around to see what was his brothers problem, but was met head on by something he was completely unprepared for.
