Concealed
Chpt. 12
...
Leonardo's fingers stayed gripped upon the handle of the blade, his breath slowly came out to the nothing but soft beating of rain. His head peaked from behind the alley hand pressed against Raph tightly before nodding curtly without turning an eye to him, quickly stepping out into the opening of the thinning crowd.
"Don't follow me any farther Raphael," he whispered without even turning to him,"You'll have better luck of survival sitting about and awaiting your brothers to find a way to get you back."
Raph snarled under his breath,"You really are fucked in the head if you expect to just show me something like that and expect me turn back without much thought into the process."
"Where I go, there may be no turning back for you," he mused allowed as simply as saying he was going out for eggs.
"I except your challenge then, only question though, is if a spoiled little rich boy as yourself could possibly survive without my help."
Leo's eyes turned back to him a simple smirk crossing his face as his eyes rolled and the discreet words 'of course' fluttered from his lips.
...
"Leonardo," his father whispered to him the small child who was tightly squeezed in a ball before his master awaiting his next command,"You will not disappoint me tonight."
He nodded softly rising from his spot upon the ground, eyes brimming with determination awaiting his order, awaiting his first order as a foot soldier. He had anticipated this day since the first day of his training.
"I will not father," he whispered eyes glittering far too eargarly, his father shaking his head to his son's cockiness as he rose fingers glazing over his son's head through his shimmering black hair.
...
A sigh penetrated through Raph's clasped lips the space craft lurched once more, he had no clue how Leonardo could find time to sleep through this all. His eyes glanced over to the boy snuggled in his seat, something lurched once more nearly forcing vile from Raph's mouth. The alien next to him shook his head to how pale he was, Raph glared to him, he couldn't help it that he hadn't even been on a plane before much less a space craft!
"It is not my problem you will end up dead in battle, monkey boy," Leo grumbled in his sleep making the turtle snarl.
"I swear if your talking about me, ya'll be wishing you were in a nightmare," Raph growled slumping down in his seat, fighting the vile threatening to splash out.
...
"Well, well, well...looks like little Leonardo has finally grown up," Hun smirked watching the boy softly close the paper door,"Too bad today someone will die."
"Its not my problem you will end up dead in battle, monkey boy," the eleven year old scoffed a far too over confident smirk shrouding his face,"Who knows, maybe to me."
A sneer crossed the giant's face, the street punks behind him laughing foreseeing a dead punk. An over sized fist shot forward forcing the boy to crouch to the ground, a crater appearing upon the concrete wall behind them, Leonardo's eyes growing in surprise to the force yet a smirk remained. A creek slipped through the air as the hand pulled itself from the wall, the giant charging toward Leonardo who side stepped to the assault causing Hun to fall down the stairs. Laughter soon shaking the street punks.
"The boss just got beat Home Alone style!" they snickered Hun glaring in ever growing fury from the bottom of the stairwell as even little Leonardo began to laugh.
"I always knew you were stupid, but I never realized this stupid!" he laughed.
Hun snarled rising without even a thought of the pain that shivered through his nerves,"I'll make you pay for this humiliation,Leonardo! You'll wish you weren't even born when I get through with you!"
"Like I care..." the boy scoffed slidding out the window.
...
General Blanque growled in silent furry as Kol tightened more bandages around him, softly humming a distant melody.
"Don't worry sir," he said reassuringly,"Maybe the boy was simply more trouble then he was worth, besides, I have an ingeniose new invention I've been dying to try out on the triceritons..."
He stopped in mid sentence to the glare from the general his eyes turning away once more contiuing his distant melody slicing Blanque's finally nerve.
"Where is Lonae?" he spat Kol shrugging silently.
"She disappeared soon after the attack, no one has seen her since then..." some new found anger sparked in his eyes his fist pounding against the chair strings of foul words flowing freely.
"Sir?"
"If you ever see her again, I want you to personally kill her! But for now assemble the troops..."
"For what sir?" he asked nervously as shakily the general rose a mad furry brimming in his eyes.
"I'm ending this war sooner then anyone would have thought..."
...
"Wake up," Raph half whispered half snarled as he shook Leo trying to force him up, getting a groan of annoyance from him.
"What? I am sleeping, onee chan," he grumbled pushing his head further into the seat, Raph snarling pushing his shoulder faster and harder.
"Get Up!" he snapped pulling him up marvelling the lightness, the boy's eyes blinked tiredly to the sudden motion.
"Are we there?" the boy snarled glaring to him,"That is the only reason you should be bothering me!"
"Who announced you leader anyway?"
"Who would announce you leader is the better question!"
Raph's death glare made Leo smile almost laugh,"You must work on your anger issues."
"Like your any better," he grumble as walked behind the boy into some new world.
...
"I want my full payment for this one!" Lonae snarled staring into the triceriton's bleak eyes staring back into her own.
"Why should I?" he spat,"I did all the work this time around and you were completely useless..."
"I told you all you needed to know," she growled glaring to him,"Now I want my payment! I want what is-"
Her words stopped as she felt her chest, fingers lacing around the blood pooling out. Eyes questioning why, only to get a soft smile from the over sized lizard sliding the gun back in his belt.
"As you wish." were the last things she heard as her world faded to black.
