Rescuing Usagi-Chapter 6
"There. I've found them." The Daimiyo said, as he raised his warstaff in the air.
The Turtles and Splinter saw through a swirling mass of mystical energy a green lush land of high hills. There on a mountain surrounded by white mists was a large gray castle.
"That is the kingdom of Hirsutia. Descend into the portal and it'll take you directly to the castle." The Daimiyo told them.
"We'll bring Usagi back." Leonardo said.
"Be careful, my sons." Splinter told the Turtles.
"Don't worry, sensei. We're great fighters. We can take down Usagi's new girlfriend." Raphael said.
"You kidding, dude? She's the size of Godzilla!" Michaelangelo exclaimed.
"Besides, we don't want to hurt Red Bella." Donatello said.
"We must retrieve the Chamolife plant from her. No telling what trouble it'll cause if she continues to use it." Leonardo said.
The four Turtles jumped into the portal.
" I'll only be able to keep the portal opened for an hour. Good luck, Turtles." The Daimiyo said.
"I shall go, too. To help them defeat Red Bella." The Ultimate Ninja said, diving into the portal before his father could stop him.
"My son!" The Daimiyo cried out, "Come back!"
"It is too late, old friend. He is gone." Splinter said.
...
"I can't wait to be married to you, my sweet.." Red Bella purred.
"And I to you, my darling Bella..." Usagi replied, holding her in his arms. Her arms were wrapped around Usagi's neck.
They were about to kiss when suddenly there was a crash. The ronin and his queen looked up to see the Turtles getting up after crashing on the balcony of the castle.
"Is this a private party or can anybody attend?" Michaelangelo joked, whirling his numchuks.
Loenardo was brandishing his swords. Raphael had his sais drawn. Donatello gripped his staff.
Red Bella glared at the Turtles as she released Usagi. Then she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Guards!"
Within minutes, the balcony was crawling with guards armed with swords and spears.
"Get the Turtles!" She shouted.
The guards converged on the four heroes in a half shell. Raphael came at the guards charging and yelling ,socking ,and kicking them. Leonardo fought some others with swords. Metal blades clanged against blades that shown like a silver moon sparkling. Donatello took out some soldiers with his staff while backflipping and spin-kicking them. Michaelangelo struck several guards in the head with his numchuks. Within minutes, the Turtles single-handedly beat all the guards.
'''Let Usagi go and release the Chamolife plant to us." Leonardo said, as he and brothers confronted Red Bella.
"Never! I like both and they're here to stay!" She cried out, taking out their swords, "Usagi, don't let them take me!"
There was a sound of swords unsheathing.
Usagi came charging at the Turtles who scattered. The young ronin was swinging his swords at them.
"I am sorry, my young friends, but I cannot allow you to hurt Red Bella." Usagi said.
"Wake up and smell the coffee, Usagi. That witch has got you under some spell or something!" Raphael replied, as he ducked and dodged Usagi's attacks.
"I don't smell anything." He said, sniffing into the air.
"Usagi, snap out of it! Red Bella kidnapped you. We came to rescue you." Leonardo said, coming to his brother's aid.
"Red Bella and I are to be married, Leonardo-san. She has used herbs from the Chamolife blooms to heal her father and he has hired me to be a bodyguard to the family. Congratulate me or I will be forced to fight you." Usagi replied.
"Surrender or be taken!" Donatello told Red Bella.
"You will never get it back!" Red Bella cried, clutching the Chamolife plant while fighting him off with her sword.
Swords clashed against each other. Red Bella's sword clashed against Donatello's staff. Michaelangelo struck her hand with his numchuk causing her to lose her grip on the Chamolife plant. Donatello picked up the plant with his staff.
"No!" Red Bella cried out, with a hand outstretched.
"Hey, Raph, heads up!" Donatello hurling the plant towards him.
The hot-headed turtle caught the plant with his sais.
"Give it back! It's mine!" Red Bella cried out, charging at him.
"Uh-uh-uh." Raphael warned, holding her back with one of his sai. He held the plant in his other hand.
She grunted angrily.
She tried using her magic by twiddling her fingers at him. He anticipated this and held up the Chamolife plant. It glowed with a mystical and unearthly aura. It put a protected shield around the turtle.
"My magic! It isn't working?" She exclaimed.
"Looks like your little mumbo jumbo doesn't work on me, lady." Raphael said.
"Please, Usagi. I don't want to hurt you." Leonardo pleaded.
The bewitched ronin continued to fight the remaining three turtles.
"But I will stop you from harming Red Bella." He replied, swinging at them.
"Usagi, We're your friends. Stop this at once." Donatello said.
"Yeah, dude. Chill. Didn't I give you and Genn a most righteous tour of New York City the last time you came to Earth?" Michaelangelo asked.
Splinter had asked Usagi to come to Earth that time to give advice and help to Leonardo when the troubled young leader of his brothers felt he didn't have confidence to lead his brothers after a fight with the Shredder. Usagi told Leonardo what happened to his former master how he failed to protect him resulting in his death. Usagi was able to move on from that experience. Michaelangelo and the Turtles were happy to see Usagi. Michaelangelo offered him a night time tour of New York. Usagi was impressed but told them he missed his dimension with its wide open fields and countryside.
"I'm sorry but I don't remember any of that. All I know is I must serve Red Bella." Usagi replied.
"He has to be brainwashed not to remember New York! Greatest city in the world! Pizza and comics! What's not to like?" Michaelangelo asked.
Usagi thrusted out his sword. He was about to stab Michaelangelo when suddenly he felt metal puncture his adomen. Leonardo had just stabbed him.
"Leonardo-san?" He cried out, in shocked.
Red Bella turned her head to see Usagi fall to the ground.
"USAGI!"She screamed, rushing to his side. She cradled him in her arms.
"Usagi...I..." Leonardo stood in total shock at the prostrate form of his good friend not moving.
This was his worst nightmare.
