I don't own TMNT.
Leo's POV
We climbed as far as we could up the ventilation shafts, placing the explosives at random intervals. It was cramped in the vent and I had to constantly shush Mikey. We eventually met a barrier we couldn't get around so we dropped out the nearest grate which was already removed. I jumped down, hands on my katana hilts. My brothers followed suit and we all looked around confused. No one was here. Raph pushed me aside and opened the doors in front of us. The room ahead was large and made of stone. It looked ancient but was a disaster. There was charring on some of the stone and water everywhere. Mikey picked up one of three guns on the floor.
"I guess we know what the girls were talking about earlier," he said dropping the gun. Donnie stiffened.
"Wait, didn't they warn us to stay away from this floor?" he said.
I immediately pulled out one of my katana and looked around. No one was here. I walked to the back of the room and saw doors up a set of stairs. There was a lot of rubble in front of them.
"Guys I found an exit!" I called to my brothers.
They all looked relieved and we started walking up the stone steps. A short man wearing armor stepped in front of us holding a staff. I held my katana ready and my brothers each took out their own weapons. The armored man glared at us before spinning in circles. We looked at it confused until he turned into a large tornado. My eyes widened. The tornado started to come towards us.
"How do we destroy that thing?" Raph asked over the wind. I shook my head.
"We don't!" I yelled back.
I turned around and started to run to the other end of the room. My brothers followed and we stood, backs against the doors. The tornado came toward us and we all scattered. It followed Mikey and he ran around the room trying to lose it. Raph, Donnie, and I grouped by the doors up the stairs. They opened and we all ran inside. I looked out at Mikey; he was running at the opposite end of the room.
"Mikey come on!" I yelled.
Mikey turned at the sound of my voice and started running towards the elevator we were in. He tumbled in on top of me and the doors slid shut. Raph stood to the left of the doors pushing something. He sighed exasperatedly.
"Doesn't even work!" he said.
"Maybe that's because the girls have been through here," Donnie's voice echoed from in the elevator shaft.
We followed him on top of the elevator. One of the cables was missing and the bottom end lied on the elevator. I picked it up and inspected the tip. It had been sawed by a blade. Raph sighed and rolled his eyes before moving to the one remaining cable. Mikey and Donnie followed and they began climbing. I moved and turned the communication on, on my ear piece. Kayla's voice staticked through.
"Harley? Yea," she said. I flinched a little but spoke steadily.
"Kayla? Where are you girls?" I asked.
"Oh uh, I don't know," she replied.
"Well where did you go after the elevator shaft?" I asked again.
"Nowhere, we rode a cable to the top and are sitting in a hallway," she said. I started to climb the rope.
"What? Why are you sitting?" Raph asked. Kayla was quiet for a minute.
"Because Jade is having trouble," she answered.
"Trouble? What kind of trouble?" Raph's voice took on a protective edge.
"It's Harley again," she explained.
"Stay where you are, we are on our way," I replied.
We kept climbing and it was a surprisingly long way up. The shaft was cold and the cable dug into my hands. I couldn't help but think of what was happening to Harley. Was Shredder there? Would they be able to win in a fight with him? The questions buzzed around my head and I hit my head on Don's shell. Looking up I saw Raph jump through an open door. Mikey, Donnie, and I followed. When I landed on the floor I looked and saw Raph and the girls kneeled beside Jade. Her body was spasming and she was holding her knees to her chest. All of a sudden it stopped and Jade sat up shakily. Raph helped her up and looked at me for instructions. I in turn looked at Kayla.
She stood slowly and I could see the anger in her eyes. For a second though they flashed red, like Harley's did when she got angry enough. She walked down the hall and we all followed her. There were large doors with the sign of the foot painted on them. Kayla stalked up to them pulling out her fans. Don joined her pulling out his bow staff. I looked over at Mikey and Amber who pulled out their weapons and Raph who was still supporting Jade. I pulled out my katana and Kayla looked back at us and then at Don before kicking open the doors.
We all rushed in and found Hunn standing by Harley. My heart stuttered at the sight of her. She was on her side breathing deeply with her hands cuffed behind her shell. There was a dark bruise on her cheek and three deep cuts on her shoulder. From Shredder's claw no doubt. Hunn spun around in shock. Harley looked up at me and I wanted to run and take her in my arms. She then smirked up at Hunn.
"Gotcha," she and Kayla said at the same time. Hunn smirked and held up a remote.
"Not another step freaks," he said.
Kayla stepped forward and Hunn's smirk grew bigger. I saw a flash of fear in Harley's eyes as he pressed a button on the remote. Harley started to writhe as her body spasmed. Jade soon started spasming in the same way. Raph set her gently on the floor before looking up at Hunn. He pulled out his sai and ran at Hunn, kicking the remote from his hand. It slid across the room and by the windows. I started to run for it, followed by the largely muscled thug.
Jade's POV
Once I could move I crawled over to Harley. Everyone was too busy fighting for the remote to notice. I helped her to sit up and she leaned heavily on me. I pulled out one of my sai and tried to get the cuffs off. They were made of some weird material I had never seen before. I put my sai back and sighed.
"It's no use," I gasped. Harley started to shake and soon the pain shot through my body too. Once it passed Harley looked at me confused.
"Why are you shaking?" she asked weakly.
"We have some sort of connection. I feel when you are in danger and if you are, I feel what you feel," I explained.
Harley's eyes widened. A short shock passed through both of us. We looked over at the ongoing fight for the stupid remote. Hunn had it but was constantly fighting off two turtles at once. Donatello kicked it out of his hand again. The fight stopped momentarily before Hunn threw everyone off him and lunged for it. Kayla stepped forward and threw a shuriken. It hit the device which sparked before it stopped working. Hunn pulled the shuriken out before hitting the button. Both Harley and I flinched but it didn't work. We both sighed out in relief. Leonardo and Raphael ran towards us. Leo hugged Harley before trying to figure out her cuffs. Raph knelt in front of me.
"You okay?" he asked.
I nodded before throwing my arms around his neck. His arms wrapped around my waist and he pulled me into him, burying his face in my neck. Leo sighed after he too couldn't figure out how to undo Harley's cuffs. He moved aside as Kayla ran in and hugged her younger sister before trying to figure out the cuffs with Donatello. Mikey and Amber were looking for a way out after they effectively knocked Hunn out. There was an enraged cry from somewhere down the hallway and we all tensed.
