Chapter 3

Hunted Reptiles

Leonardo had ran the fastest he could go, hoping he can make it in time while running along the rooftops he watched as the military units fired their bullets on the roaring motorcycle, Raphael kept his motorcycle with pace as Mona stood up on the moving motorcycle with her tail wrapped around Raphael's waist for support. She starts throwing her daggers at the cars chasing them. She had blown a tire on one of the cars. That car had slowed down and had brought another along with its crash. With one more car to deal with, Mona had run out of her daggers.

Mona: "Damn. I should have brought more." Raphael heard her whined as he dug his hand into his black trench coat, he was wearing. He showed Mona some shurikens.

Raph: "How about these?" He replied as Mona took them off his hand.

Mona: "Perfect." She said with a smile as she thrown them at the car. Three bound off the windshield of the car. Mona revealed three more on her hand. "Bulletproof huh? Well try this!" She had thrown them hard as they zoomed straight at the car's front wheels. The wheels was blown as the car begin to slow down, Mona cheered as she got the aim right, as Raphael smiled. Mona sat down holding on around Raphael's waist. But somehow she knew as she looked behind to see more of the same vehicles after them. "Raph…" Raphael knew too and soon speeded up some more.

Raph: "Hang on!" While riding his shell cell rang. "Now what?" He picked up his cell as he heard Leonardo's voice at thy end.

Leo: "Again finding punks to beat up?" Raphael snickered.

Raph: "Must you ask?" He said sarcastically.

Leo: "Raphael listen to me, I want you to turn left."

Raph: "Left?" He asked confusedly, Leonardo moaned.

Leo: "Just do it!" He replied back. Raphael was confused for a moment as the hunters were slowly catching up to them.

Raph: "Whatever you say fearless leader." Raph hang up as he made a sharp left turn that when Leonardo jumped off the roof and landed on one of the car hood. He stabbed the hood with his katana ripping it apart. The car halted as the masked hunters ran off as Leonardo jumped off before the car exploded.

Leo: "That, that's." He dusted himself until he sense more were coming and they did. Lights were flashed at Leonardo, blinded from the light, he blocked his eyes with his arm as the lights dimmer. He looked to see he was surrounded; guns were aiming at him as he slowly draws his katana showing no fear against these so called hunters. "Who are you!?" He yelled at them, none of them nudged keeping their focus of aim at Leonardo. "Answer my question!" the hunters cracked up their guns as Leonardo knew this might be thy end for him.

"Don't you dare fire!" called a voice that Leonardo once heard before but as he looked at the hunters, they lowered their weapons as they back away to make room of a man…the man that Leonardo once saw on the streets…the one with a patched left eye. "Leave us!" The hunters shattered off as finally the man approached Leonardo with a devilish smile. He made Leonardo shivered down his spine as he knew something was dark among the man. "Where your sensei…turtle?" He spoken that made Leonardo lost of confusion.

Leo: "You know my sensei?" He replied as the man just grinned at him making Leonardo stress tight as twisted.

"Splinter…? Of course I do." Leonardo was beginning to feel nervous as somehow this man knew about his sensei. "And you must be Leonardo. I heard about you, strong, stealth, good leadership, perfect, and unbeatable." Leonardo felt dark and lost but not afraid to speak up.

Leo: "Who are you? And how do you know about me and my sensei?" The man circled around Leonardo, scanning his figures, muscular body.

"You grown stronger Leonardo and not to mention how well is your brothers?" Leonardo kept his silent. The man came unsteady. "Giving me a silent treatment, isn't gonna work."

Leo: "Who are you?" He asked one last time, the man just tinted his head.

"Sean Filch" He showed his hand as Leonardo refused to shake it. Sean frowned as he put away his hand to his pocket. "And I have heard my little experiment is living with you and your family somewhere in the sewers."

Leo: "Your experiment?" Sean smiled his rotten teeth.

Sean: "Yes, Mona Lisa is her name. You heard of her right?" Leonardo begins to become disgusted.

Leo: "You leave her alone!" Sean eyes widen with surprise.

Sean: "You like her. Don't you?" Leonardo awestruck but he kept himself standing, feeling so nervous inside. Sean then grab out a cigarette for himself, smoking his nasty bad breath of his. "Admit it Leonardo, u can't escape warmth feelings forever."

Leo: "Like you?" Sean coughed of laughter.

Sean: "You're funny Leonardo, really u are." Then he laid his hand on his shoulder as Leonardo felt annoyed as his touch was nothing but frost. He removed his hand off his shoulder.

Leo: "Don't touch me." He replied angrily.

Sean: "Temper, temper, Leonardo, your just like Raphael." Suddenly Leonardo grabbed hold on his collar pulling him up off the ground.

Leo: "Look Sean Filch! I have no idea, how the shell do u know us all of sudden?!" Sean smirked as he hung there laughing.

Sean: "Why don't you ask one of your friends?" Leonardo was confused as he finally lowered him down.

Leo: "Who would that be?" He asked hoping and wishing he is getting answers but nada.

Sean: "You'll soon find out. I promise." Unknowing to Leonardo a hunter on the rooftops fired a sleeping dart at his shoulder that didn't stop him first. As he felt the dart stabbed and now dozing through his body, he soon has fallen to the ground sleeping. "Good night Leonardo." Suddenly he heard roaring vehicle sounding closer, as Sean looked a red motorcycle with one passenger was zooming pasted him, the motorcycle halted beside Leonardo.

Sean: "No!" The passenger was no other but Raphael as he picked up his brother to his vehicle.

Raph: "Stay alive, Leo!" He drove off escaping from Filch hunters.

Sean: "Damn so close!"

"Sire, we caught one of the mutant turtles." A hunter approached anger Sean but as he heard the news he ease his anger.

Sean: "Really now?" the hunter nodded his head.

"The one named Michelangelo." Sean smiled then grinned.

Sean: "Good work soldier. Now focus on thy other mutants for capture."

"Yes sire!" replied the hunter as he ran off leaving Sean smiling. Unknowing a girl named Lotus Blossom spied among thy dark alley.

Lotus: "Mutant turtle? Could it be?" She grabs out her cell phone and phone a friend from childhood. "April? It's me Lotus, listen meet me thy old playground as soon as possible."
