Disclaimer: I don't own them, now on with the story.
Leonardo was leaning on the spikes that were still shoved into his body within the Iron Maiden. He was too tired to stand within the small confines of the Iron Maiden. He had lost count of how long he'd been in the Iron Maiden, too tired to even meditate. He was getting tired of thinking the words: Iron Maiden.
A creak of metal on metal rang loudly. Leo cracked his eyes open and the spikes were ripped out of him quickly. He gasped in pain and toppled forward, sprawling outside of the Iron Maiden.
Hun grinned down at Leonardo. A team of two medics quickly dressed his wounds and inserted a syringe into the crook of his elbow. A clear liquid quickly entered his system. The medics then packed up their medical supplies and exited the chamber.
Hun threw Leo over his shoulder and walked over to another product of the twisted minds of humans. Hun dropped Leo on his plastron onto an iron bed. Metal cuffs were immediately restraining the turtle. Hun grinned at him and lit a match. Leo didn't recognize this torture. He studied it with tired eyes.
It was just an iron bed raised about four inches off the ground. Hun brought the match underneath the bed and lit something. He quickly moved away from the metal. Leo immediately felt the effects.
The metal under his body began reddening with the heat. Leo tugged at the cuffs; he knew what was going to happen now. Fierce burning pain shot through his entire body as the heat finally reached him. He ground his teeth together in pain. The smell of burning flesh reached his snout.
Leo strained to get his face away from the metal, his snout hovered mere centimeters from the red metal. Hun slammed Leo's head against the red hot metal. Leo screamed and the sound of hissing flesh remained even as the scream died out.
Donatello sat at his computer, tapping away at the keyboard rapidly. He was focused intently upon the monitor. Raph stood behind him gripping his sais tightly. Don tapped one more key. He sighed in relief. "Okay, I'm in." Donatello announced.
He linked into their COMM system. "Okay, Leo's still alive from what I can hear, and they'll be taking him to Shredder soon."
"We can go through the ventilation system on the third floor then get to the top when they take him to their Master; we'll just need the get the helicopter nearby and…" Don began before face palming himself. "Stupid, stupid, stupid…" Don muttered.
"Ya' just realized we could fly to the top huh?" Raph asked. Don sighed and nodded. "Well…that makes a bit more sense…" Raphael added.
"Less talking, we need to hurry up." Mikey said from behind them with his arms crossed. "Geez, Mike, you're acting more like Le-oh…" Raph began. Michelangelo glared at Raphael and moved into the dojo, preparing for the fight. "The sooner we get Leo home, the better. So we can't be taking our vengeance on Shredder, Leo's probably in pretty bad shape so…no screwing around okay?" Don said, glancing at Raph and Mikey who was walking back into the living room.
"Yeah, we get it Don, let's just go get Leo." Mikey huffed in irritation.
Leonardo was dragged down a hallway by two Foot ninjas. The side of his face was scarred badly by the fire. His plastron had darkened to a gray from the same torture. His abdomen was rewrapped and all his equipment was gone.
A large set of doors opened to them. They dragged him in front of an altar and dropped his torso on the floor before bowing and returning to the exterior of the room. A clunking of metallic boots made Leo look up to see the Shredder standing behind the altar in his armor.
"You still have not given up the secret of your home." The Shredder said. Leo glared at him, his strength returning at the sight of his enemy. Shredder turned his back to Leonardo and plucked a sword off a rack behind him. He walked around the altar and stood in front of Leo, brandishing the sword. It looked very familiar to Leo.
"Do you recognize this? You and your band of freaks tried to destroy it. I reforged it from the pieces I found in the debris of that explosion. This is the Sword of Tengu." Shredder said, bringing the sword to life with its crackling blue energy.
Leo stared with his mouth in a grim line. He suddenly leaped and tore the sword out of Shredder's hands. The sword began burning the skin of his palms, Leo ignored it. Leonardo used the sword's power and blasted the Shredder through a screen and into the Japanese rooftop garden.
Rain pelted the two combatants, lightning flared in the sky, and dark clouds swirled angrily like the two opponents on the rooftop.
Leonardo limped after him, blasting the Shredder once again. The large human crashed into a statue and stood up from the rubble with a roar. He ran at Leo with startling speed.
Leonardo blasted the sword at Shredder again, this time the Shredder leapt over the blast and drop kicked Leo.
Leo hit the ground hard, the sword clattered and rolled out of his hands. Shredder grabbed his throat and swung him into a statue. The statue crumbled as Leo's carapace struck the limestone. The wounded turtle slowly stood from the rubble, panting. Shredder bent over to pick up the sword, Leo landed his own drop kick and the Shredder went flying forward into a pond.
He picked up the sword and blasted the Shredder's chest. Shredder growled and shot forward punching and kneeing Leo's abdomen. Leo dropped the sword, smoke drifting from his hands. The only thing keeping him up was the Shredder's kneeing and punching.
Shredder gave Leo a fierce uppercut. The turtle flew upwards and landed in the pond face first.
The Shredder picked up the sword and stood over Leo as the younger ninja struggled onto his feet. Shredder brought the sword down upon Leo's head. The young terrapin warrior brought up his hands and trapped the burning blade in a sword catch. The two shook in a power struggle, they both knew the Shredder would win this.
A bolt of lightning flared brightly and struck the Shredder's metal suit. The lightning channeled from Shredder through the Sword of Tengu and into Leonardo. The two warriors shook in uncontrollable spasms, Shredder roaring while Leo screamed.
Both dropped from their previous positions and remained prone on the ground, smoke drifted from both bodies.
A helicopter rose up close to the Japanese garden. It landed on the helicopter pad. Three figures dropped from the pad and into the Japanese garden. They circled the two still figures near the pond. "Whoa, Leo put up a fight…" Raph whispered, eyeing the Shredder's still form. He sucked in a breath at the sight of Leonardo.
"Shell, is he gonna' make it Don?" Raph asked. Don knelt next to the unconscious Leo. "They took care of his wounds, but it looks like Shredder beat the shell out of him up here." Don then turned Leo's face so his eyes could inspect every detail. The three turtles gasped in shock of the severe scarring on the left side of his face. "Okay, let's get him onto the copter. Raph you carry him from the shoulders, gently, and Mikey you get him by the legs. Careful, he looks a lot better than he really is." Don was saying.
"What about the Shredder?" Raph asked. Don glanced at the prone figure. "Leo did him justice, he's finished." Don said. "For now, he'll be back like always." Mikey huffed.
They moved the wounded Leo into the copter and they departed from the tower quickly.
Shredder slowly stood up from the ground on shaking legs. He groaned. Foot ninja flooded into the Japanese garden. "Master!" Hun cried, shoving through the Foot Ninja. Shredder stared at them all. He was surrounded by his loyal soldiers. "Bring the medics!" A female voice called, moving through the crowding ninjas. "Karai," Shredder thought as he stared at his daughter who was making her way through the ninjas.
A migraine struck him hard, and the next thing he knew, he was on the ground out cold.
A/N: And now the plot takes over. Here's something weird: this story came to me in a dream! I actually thought it was reality...then I woke up. Ah, life can be a bitch, can she not?
