Chapter 4

Enter Slash the Killer Mutant

Raph: "Leo, wake up!" Leonardo obeyed as he looked to see he was in a dark alley with his brother by his side.

Leo: "What happen?" He said while his head was throbbing of pain.

Raph: "A guy jumped on yea that what happen." Leonardo then looked around his surroundings.

Leo: "Where Mona?" Raphael crossed his arms as he seems to be waiting for something or someone just in the right timing too as Mona thrown an out-cold hunter to the ground.

Mona: "The area is cleared now." She replied happily. "Did u contact thy others Raphael?" Leonardo sighs as Raphael held his shell cell in hand.

Raph: "Yeah except only Michelangelo isn't responding."

Mona: "You think he in trouble?" Raphael slightly pouted off the side.

Raph: "Yeah probably with all those mutant hunters running loose." Leonardo was confused for a second as he stood up tall.

Leo: "What's going on?" He was lost as Raphael filled him in.

Raph: "If u hasn't noticed, these so called hunters are trying to get ourselves captured and trade us in for high profits." Leonardo moan as human socially will do anything for money. "Anyway we should find Mikey." He said with crossed arms suddenly his shell cell ranged. "Now what…?" He picked up groaning and annoyed. "Yell-ow?"

Don: "Raphael! Thank god u picked up!" He replied worried.

Raph: "Why? What wrong Donnie?" As he heard guns fired at thy other end.

Don: "I might need a little help…maybe more then little."

Raph: "Where are you?" He asked wondering.

Don: "We at the Lexington Avenue and u better hurry before…AHH!" Suddenly the cell went dead as Raphael became shocked.

Raph: "Donnie!!! Shit!" He hangs up his cell then he looked at Leonardo and Mona. "Come on, Donnie is in trouble."

Mona: "But what about Mikey?" She said with concern, Raphael slightly looked away unknowing what to say or do.

Leo: "I got an idea. Raph go and get Donatello while Mona and I find Mikey."

Raph: "That fine with me." As he climbed aboard his motorcycle and droved off. Leonardo looked at Mona.

Leo: "Let's go."

In all places in Lexington Avenue, Donatello and Celia had hidden in the church.

Celia: "Is that better?" She said while wrapping a long piece of white clothing over Donatello bleeding hand.

Don: "Yeah…Thanks Celia. Damn those mutant hunters blasted my cell." Celia sighed a bit.

Celia: "It's only a cell phone Donnie…at least you're not hurt." Then there was silent…

Don: "Celia…." Celia perked up and looked at Donatello.

Celia: "Yes Donnie?" He begins saying with no sound replied.

Don: "Nevermind…." He was silent again as he begins thinking of thoughts through his head. 'Why can't say it….' He looked at Celia looking at the entrance of the church. 'But then again…she human and I aren't.' Suddenly they heard the entrance doors rammed.

Celia: "Donnie, they coming…"

Don: "I know. And they won't stop coming till they got me captive. Celia you have to go." Celia was stunned and shook her head.

Celia: "No! I won't go at least you come with me." Donatello shook his head.

Don: "I can't…they after me anyways. You could still have the time to escape." Celia wildly shook her head.

Celia: "Never!" As they argued they heard the slammed doors stopped with a sudden. They looked as they heard the mutant hunters speak.

"Did you hear that?" said one nervously the other loud shouted.

"Holy shit…it's him…ARRH!" Celia gasped as Donatello held her close, hearing gurgling sound and the scent of fresh blood aroma filled through the church. Celia was frightened as Donatello kept them hidden between the benches. They silently heard the church doors open as the murder of the hunters step in, sniffing thy air while Donatello and Celia kept themselves quiet.

"Lovely scent of blood…" He sniffed again as he caught scent of something else. "And sewer aroma? Strange but interesting…" He took another step as Donatello take one peek at the killer. Another mutant, snapping turtle, spiky shell, wearing a long black bandanna, battle gear and Donny recognize who it was…Slash was his name…the killer mutant sniffed again. And it's was Donnie chance for survival, as he and Celia crawled along the benches to the column of pillars, with a shift of noise, Slash spun around just in time to see a speck of Donnie's purple bandanna before it vanish behind the pillar. Slash growled happily as he walked towards the pillar where Donnie hid behind. Donatello kept himself silent as he already knew Slash had spotted him. He heard the growling louder, he closed his eyes and stay stiff, with the tense he was in, he sweated. Now the growling noise was beside him as Slash suddenly throws a punch at the pillar as Donnie dodged his attack to the floor. Slash finally found what he was looking for.

Slash: "Donatello! It's been awhile." Donnie hesitated to answer as he knew Slash awhile back in the past. Donnie quickly stood up and throws a punch at him as Slash grab hold on his wrist and thrown him across the room as Donnie landed on the hard wooden benches. Donnie dazed after the crash as Slash approached closer to him.

Slash: "Come on Donnie. Fight back." Donatello opened his weaken eyes.

Don: "I wish I could, only if you weren't so all brawn-headed." Slash angered as he shot-out his hand around his neck lifting him high off the ground.

Slash: "Say that again genius? I can't hear you!" Donatello moaned as Slash tighten his grip choking his prey then he saw Celia standing across from him. "You…" Celia was silent and speechless, but the look of her face was shamed.

Don: "Run…Celia…" He coughed out. Slash glared at her as she looked down among her feet.

Celia: "I'm...sorry…" She cried out as she looked back to the mutant. Slash dropped Donatello to the ground and already running towards Celia with his own favorite weapon his katana drawn out for the kill…

Slash: "Celia!" Celia stands her ground as her guilt had told her too. As she feared so her fate was beginning to become to thy end. Slash draw closer to her, feeling her heart beating hard, she only heard the clanging sound of weapons chucked with each other. Curious what had happened she looked to see Raphael had stopped Slash's attack as each of them pushed their weapons to the max.

Celia: "Raphael?" Raphael gritted his sharp teeth while forcing his sai against Slash's katana.

Raph: "Don't mind me! I'll take care of this muscle brawn!" Slash snickered, showing his sharp teeth to Raphael.

Slash: "Is that all you got hot-head?" Raph growled as his rage became active, he slashes the snapping turtle with his sai in hand as Slash returned fired, swinging his katana at Raphael but merely missed every time he got a chance. "You're such a coward Raphael! Why don't you fight fair and square?" Behind Slash, Raphael winded up a dragon punch.

Raph: "You asked for it!" Slash spun around to see the impact of Raphael's fist. Feeling his jaw cracked, Slash stay his distance away from Raph on the floor kneed down. "What the matter Slash? A fellow mutant is beating thy old mighty one?" Slash growled with rage as he shot out on top of Raphael. With an element of surprise Raphael landed to the floor, banging his shell at the rugged floor as Slash was on top of him, grasping his wrists for no inferring. Slash gritted his teeth happily.

Slash: "I always admire your judgment Raphael." Restrained, Raph still struggles to get free but unable as Slash was on top of him, threatening him. "Poor Raphie-boy, your life is finally in my grasp. Now tell me…who the better killer?" Suddenly something whacked Slash's dome head. Feeling dazed a bit, he looked up to see wounded mouthing bleeding Donatello with his bo-staff placed as a baseball bat.

Don: "How about who the better mutant!" He swing his bo again as Slash was already prepared as he grasp on the bo-staff before it hit him. Donnie was shocked as he feared Slash might return another attack. So Donatello forced on, with one arm free, Raphael grab hold on Slash's arm that held Donnie's bo-staff still. "Let go of my brother!" Donny cried out as suddenly the doors of the church opened. As a bright flashed light blinded their eyes as it seems the sound is so quiet among them.

"There they are!" Donnie was shot with two tranquilizers as he dazed off to the floor sleeping.

Raph: "Donnie!!" Both of the mutant turtles looked at the bright light as Slash was fired three tranquilizers but it wasn't a enough as Slash was about to rise, he was fired again with two more as finally he fallen asleep on Raphael. Raphael was thy only mutant awake as he looked at the light seeing the mutant hunters closing in on them. Raph quick think as he pushed Slash off the aside, freeing himself to stand and fight. He stood with his sais drawn, showing the hunters he means business. Then two tranquilizers fired at him, as he felt a slightly dazed but he kept his focus awake and steady. He ran towards the hunters as he felt two more shot were pinned down in his dark green skin. A bit more dazing was filling Raphael's head as he encourage on. When he was about to clobber the hunters he was shot again only from behind. Now he finally felt he couldn't make it as his dazed took over, but before had he fall asleep to the floor like thy others, he spun his head around to see who shot the final tranquilizer but he was quiet shocked. As he saw a friend of his…Celia aiming her tranquilizer gun at him, feeling neglect from her friend. She fired again as finally Raphael fallen and sleeping.
