Chapter 5

Three way triangle

The city was quiet but only noised by the mutant hunters roaming around the city searching for a nice catch. At home, Casey Jones was potato crouching and drinking beer at the same time. As he glared at the television his favorite show flashed into a news report.

Casey: "What's the shell?" As the news present Irma Langinstein.

Irma: "Hi Irma Langinstein and I had been reported to tell everyone to stay at home that there is a mutant danger activities going on tonight. A group called the Mutant hunters formed by Sean Filch and among his council had permission the mayor of New York City to seize these mutants so here now Vernon Fenwick." While Casey was gulping his alcohol drink, he purged it out as he sees his friends on television, Donatello, and Raphael strapped on long medial wheeled beds, loaded into fairly large vehicles, as for Vernon trying to get an interview of one of the hunters.

Vernon: "Please tell me, is this difficult task to capture all those menses that lurks around these areas?" The mutant hunters refused to talk as continue their work. All hope was lost for Vernon till he found the man himself, Sean Filch. He pulled his cameraman towards Sean Filch who was about to aboard a vehicle his back facing the camera.

Vernon: "Mr. Filch! Wait!" He tugged on Sean as he spun his face around to Vernon face to face. "My! What happen to your eye?" Sean growled as Vernon took a step back. "Ok…let's forget the patched eye. How about why did you made a group of mutant hunters anyway?" Sean snarled again.

Sean: "Mutants don't mix with humans that much." He huffed out as he aboard the vehicle drove off leaving a trailing smoke from the vehicle. Vernon coughed and fanning the smoke away.

Vernon: "And there you have it folks!" Casey turned off the television and looked out the window, hearing sirens and burning rubber. He was prepared as finally he steps out to the danger zone.

In the old playground as April O' Neil used to play, sat on a swing staring at the ground, waiting for a friend she once knew. Lotus Blossom approached her.

Lotus: "Just in time as always." April looked up to see her childhood friend. April was worried and concerned as she asked a question to her friend.

April: "Why did you call?" Lotus first sighed as she looked at her.

Lotus: "April…I need help and a friend of mine need help." April was confused.

April: "What do you mean?" Lotus huffed out the cold frozen air.

Lotus: "This friend is a mutant." April cheery sighed aside.

April: "You're not thy only one." Lotus eyes widen.

Lotus: "Really? You have friends that are mutants?" April nodded then she remembered earlier of the convention.

April: "Who is this mutant?" Lotus then remembered why she called her.

Lotus: "His name is Leonardo…" April was surprised then ever.

April: "I know him too." Lotus was glad.

Lotus: "That great!" April stood up and faced Lotus.

April: "Why did you call me in the first place?" She asked, Lotus remembered what she heard from Sean and his hunters.

Lotus: "I was hiding and I overheard Sean Filch one of the mutant hunters talking about this mutant turtle named Michelangelo is been captured and I bet that's probably one of Leonardo-san siblings." As Lotus looked at her friend face, she was shocked. "April?" Her friend shook her head.

April: "Michelangelo captive?" Lotus nodded her head. "We have to go." She grabbed her friend's hand and pulled her off among with her. In her red mustang, April droved her fastest and dialing at the same time, hoping she could contact thy others for help.

April: "Come on, come on. Answer Splinter…" She listen her cell ringed many times. Unknowing to them on thy other side of the phone line among the streets, it's was pouring rain as Splinter seemed wounded on the ground, resting his strength as mutant hunters approached him. He stared at them, they aiming their tranquilizers guns at him. Splinter could hear his shell cell ringing loud beside him.

"Come on! It's raining man! Let's just bring him in." said a mutant hunter the other hunter shook his head.

"Don't be a pussy. It's only rain. Besides I love animals that suffer." He aimed his gun at Splinter, his partner refused to this to happen as he placed his hand on his friend weapon.

"You're sick. You know that?" His partner pouted. "Besides he too weak to fight, let's just bring him in." As the hunters talked, Splinter lifted himself off the ground, kneeing and his hands placed on the dry tar ground road.

"Would u look at that? He is still not giving up." His partner sighed. "Leave him alone, besides this is last moment of the outside." His partner snarled aside. As for Splinter, he senses his children. Three captive, two running free, but he felt his seems to be youngest child, Michelangelo sick, very sick.

Splinter: "Stay strong…my son…." He said to thy air and his message was delivered to his son. 'I will…father…I'll try…' He heard his son's voice among his head as he felt pain and suffering through both of them. Splinter placed his hand on his forehead as he telepath to his roaming free children. 'Leonardo…Mona…' Then he felt a hand touched his shoulder, he looked at the mutant hunter and his partner still disbelief.

"Come on let's go." The two hunters took Splinter away leaving his ringing shell cell in the rain.

Elsewhere in the city…Mona and Leonardo hided among the shadows in thy alleys away from range of the mutant hunters. Leading and huffing for breath, they didn't have to worry about sweating up as rain cool them. Feeling the wet drops splashing among her body and face, she had the voice of her master.

Mona: "Sensei…" Leonardo was confused as he faced her.

Leo: "What the matter Mona?" She placed her fist on her forehead holding the pain that came through her master then Michelangelo, she had felt it too…Mikey is sick.

Mona: "Master Splinter…Michelangelo…those hunters…" Leonardo was still lost as Mona looked upon him; he could see her tear eyed shine among the moon. "Mikey is sick…Sensei is hurt and they others are captive…" She looked at her side, Leonardo finally understand her as he placed his arms around her then she laid her head among his chest, crying.

Leo: "It's ok…we find them…" He said in a gentle voice, she looked upon Leonardo.

Mona: "Will we?" He nodded his head.

Leo: "Yeah…" She halted her tears and exchanged it with a smile. Then they hugged again feeling the warmth comfort through the rain. "Mona…" He recalled suddenly.

Mona: "Yeah Leo?" Looking at his face, he was nervous and feeling guilty at the same time for what is coming from his own voice.

Leo: "Do you…truly love Raphael?" Her eyes widen as she break apart from him, looking towards the empty wet alley, sadden. Then she spun her head around to Leonardo.

Mona: "Why did you ask?" Leonardo felt sick and worst yet guilty. "You love me don't you?" Leonardo looked aside grunting and Mona could see she was right. "I'm sorry…Leonardo…I just…can't." Then she ran off towards the dark alley leaving him to the rain pour. She climbed a ladder that reaches to the roof as she stare the wet raining city. "Raphael…" She called out to thy air "Where are you?"

"Trying to find your boyfriend I presume?" Said a voice from behind Mona was shocked as she realize that voice, she spun around to look. Sean Filch was there, her eyes filled with fear as she back away from him.

Mona: "How…how did you survive?" she asked, Sean smirked.

Sean: "I guess fate told me not to die yet even through active those explosions on my submarine!" Mona smiled with a grunt.

Mona: "It's was best." Sean snarled.

Sean: "To free your stupid mutant friends that was aboard?!" Mona drawn her dagger from her pants pocket, she twirled it.

Mona: "It's was nice for you to care for me but enslaving people even for mutants is despicable." Sean angered and shook his rage away, leaving him smiling and laughing. Mona was confused as she halted her twirling of her dagger.

Sean: "Of course. A leader needs many followers and you are the one that made my dream come true." Mona remarked that answer.

Mona: "Because you turn me into a mutant?" She said angry tone next thing she knew she was surrounded, 7 hunters aiming their tranquilizers guns at her. She looked at Sean smiling. "What the matter? You can't do this alone?" Sean nodded.

Sean: "It's better this way." Mona looked around her surroundings as she grab out many of her daggers from her pockets. "Take her down." The tranquilizers guns fired as Mona thrown her daggers. Her daggers broken the tranquilizers before it hits her as leaped into the action. Drawing out her Tessen war fan and using it for self-defense. She attacked the 7 hunters, as while throwing her daggers at them and after a while all had fallen expect for Sean. Her heart raced as she run towards him. She swung her black tessen at him but as she did she missed as Sean had dodged. She then tried to attack back but every time she tried her results of attacks were blocked or dodged. Tried of this rain and this fight, Sean decided to finish it. As Mona was about to kick Sean, he was fast as lighting as he grab hold of her leg. She shocked as Sean thrown her off the roof luckily Mona hang on the edge by one hand as she hanged she tried to reach her other hand to the edge but before that happen Sean stepped on her hand as she yelp in pain.

Mona: "Damn you!" She cried out as Sean crushed her hand a bit more.

Sean: "Say that again and this will be your last moment…alive that is." Mona growled as her hand was grown with pain. "Now where is Leonardo hiding?" Mona disgusted.

Mona: "Why would I tell you?" Sean was impatient as he lowered himself to grab hold of Mona's pink bandanna around her neck and raise it making it uncomfortable for her neck.

Sean: "The world isn't perfect...because you are part of it." Suddenly Sean heard the running feet and the swift of a sword sound, as he looked around his eye widen as his life was sliced. His blood spread out from his body as he fell over the building seeing the sight of his killer, Leonardo. "Leonardo!!!" He landed in a large trash bin; he died with his insane eyes opened. Mona looked at the man she once knew dead, as she hanged on the edge. Leonardo offered a hand, she took it. Leonardo helped her up but as she got to the safe point she hugged Leonardo stunning and confusing at the same time.

Mona: "Thank you…" She shut her eyes to keep her tears away, Leonardo sighed as he landed his cheek on her hair.

Leo: "It's alright…"
