Chapter 2: Back in Action
Leo was mediating when Raph's whoop, broke the serene calm of the Dojo. Leo didn't even have to ask, Don had finally given Raph permission to train again, since the ankle had healed.
At least Raph would be in a fairly good mood today…for a while at least.
Leo attempted to resume mediation but grumbled as Raph came in and flicked the lights on, Sais in hand as he strode out into the middle of the mats and started a fast Kata.
Mike cam in and started to tease his older brother.
Chaos soon ensued as Raph's temporary good mood shattered.
"WOULD YOU SHUT UP!" Leo roared as Mike and Raph began arguing.
They froze and looked toward Leo's enraged figure, still seated in the lotus position, golden-brown eyes flashing angrily.
Both brothers winced and mumbled "sorry", to which Leo simply grunted and closed his eyes, returning to his meditation.
"Smooth Chuckle-head," Raph grumped.
Mike stuck his tongue out to which Raph growled.
Leo growled and got up, before walking out of the Dojo.
"Great now Fearless is in a bad mood," Raph grumped.
Mike winced.
"Patrol is going to be fun later," Mike mumbled.
Raph chuckled and gave Mike a half-hearted glare.
~*~Later that Night~*~
Mike moved slowly beside Leo as they worked along the roofs above the warehouse they had followed the Foot to. Raph and Don were on the other side. They were moving carefully to get a look through the windows. Leo and Mike dropped onto the roof before moving across it and peeking into the main area through the top windows.
Leo waved Mike after him as they moved the pane of glass away. They dropped in and moved along the shadows, silently searching for the ninja that were supposed to be in here.
Leo touched his ear bud and waited for Don to respond.
We're coming in…they just vanished up here…Don replied.
"Same down here, they're just…gone," Leo whispered, "Scratch that!"
Leo jumped back as a ninja leapt out of the shadows. Mike dashed forward as Leo ducked and dodged Katanas out and blocking. His ear bud was jarred loose and clattered to the floor as he and Mike frantically attempted to get back out of the building.
Leo? Leo?
Mike! Why isn't Leo answering!
"Um…ninja decided to play!" Mike replied as he caught up with Leo.
We're coming in!
Time to kick some ninja butt…
Leo grunted as he dodged and backed into the wall. One of his Katana went flying and he charged the ninja in front of him, sending a fury of kicks and punches as he tried to regroup with Mike. Leo jumped up and flipped over the line of ninja, landing in a crouch before dashing toward Mike.
Then just as they regrouped the ninja vanished again.
"What the?" Mike muttered.
Leo shifted uneasily and glanced at his Katana.
"Guys….get out of here…" Leo said as he took Mike's ear bud.
Why?
AH come on LEO!
Mike walked forward with Leo's Katana, point toward Leo as he prepared to flip it to allow Leo to take hold of the hilt.
"Something's not ri-" Leo started.
WHOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPHH
Leo was thrown forward, his Katana, still in Mike's hand, piercing his plastron as Mike slammed into the wall behind them. Mike's head smashed against the wall, knocking him out cold. Leo's head following the same motion, blood gushed down his plastron.
Flames slammed into them and the building began to collapse in on its self as more explosions went off.
~*~
Raph and Don had just started to turn and were half out of the building when the explosions went off.
They were thrown clear, and sat up slowly, coughing.
"NO!" Raph screamed as they staggered to their feet and stared at the burning building.
Don remained frozen as he frantically tried to get his brothers to answer on the ear buds.
"Guys?" Don whispered, again touching the ear bud and hoping for an answer.
He locked gazes with a shaking Raph and jumped as sirens alerted them to the presence of emergency vehicles on the way.
"We have to go," Don managed, "Raph we have to hide."
"They're in there…Don they're in there!" Raph cried.
"We'll find them, but we have to hide!" Don insisted.
