Chapter one-unexplained murders reported & Raph discovers the killer
The following morning in the lair...
The old rat trained his sons to the extremes of morning exercises as normal as any other day. Always been cautious, wanting the best for his children also sometimes expect alittle more vigilance to be used when either patrolling or just playing around the city.
Standing before his sons and telling them what to do.
"Shuto." Splinter instructed
"Kia." The four terrapins shouted as they stood in defence stance waiting for the next instruction.
"Back fist strike." Splinter commanded
"Kia." They shouted then threw their fists
"Front snap kick." Splinter ordered
"Kia." performing the kick in front of themselves
"Upper rising block." Splinter ordered
"Kia" the four terrapins shouted and raised their arms up above their heads.
"Double kick counter." Splinter told them
"Kia." They shouted as they jumped up and kicked front of themselves then behind.
"Again." Splinter ordered
"Kia." Shouting again and continued their attack as instructed
"Now, finish." Splinter gently said, lightly tapping his walking stick to the ground
The four terrapins landed on the ground and bowed their sensei before falling upon their behinds with exhaustion and aching muscles as they began to complain.
"Ok...I can't move." Don Whinced
"Who wants to move." Raph grumbling asked
"Walk me for breakfast." Mikey requested, rubbing his sweaty bald head as he leaned up and positioned himself in sitting position.
"Note to self...buy mikey some new deodorant." Leo reminded himself when his nose was over powered by the sweaty over bearing stench of his odour.
"Training has concluded for tonight, we shall continue in the morning." Splinter told his sons as he turned around and walk to his room to retire for the evening.
Mikey jumped to his feet like he hadn't trained his shell off so hard in his life; running to the kitchen and prepared himself something to eat. While his brothers whinced, grunted and moaned as they tried to walk. Don and raph walked to the couch letting their arms to just dangle as they felt terribly sore from the extreme over worked training.
"Oh man, finally get to sit." Raph grunted, flopping into the couch
"Tell me about it, raph." Don told him, joking
"Humph. What is mikey doing anyways?" raph wondered, leaning his head back on the couch head.
"You know what he is usually up when he feels like he hadn't been fed." Leo replied, annoyed and whinced as he sat down and leaned back making himself comfortable.
"Oh no...Don't say it?" raph grunted, lifting his head and glared Leo, narrowing his tired eyes into ticked off stare.
"You said it. Mikey's cooking again." Don replied, giggling softly
"Grr...Not again. I am not eating that garbage." Raph hissed angrily, slapping his face and covering his eyes not wanting to see the food or whatever scraps.
"No one said you have to eat it, raphie." Mikey shouted, walking out of the kitchen carrying a tray of food that don't look over cooked or appeared to be something that vomit up for once.
Both Leo and Don glared the food with enticing desire to eat the food, mikey prepared. Remaining silent and looked each other and without saying one word they thought to play along with mikey and joke raph around so they could have his plate.
"Oh Man, Raphael. I don't think you would eat this...Yuk." Don teasingly said as he shoved a forkful of food in his mouth.
"Yeah Raphael, you don't want to eat this...it was cooked for too long again and there is spinach in the mix this time, too. Yuk." Leo also teasingly said as he shoved a forkful of food in his mouth and enjoyed playing the prank along with his purple clad terrapin brother. Trying their best to not giggle or laugh as it was getting to the point they couldn't any longer and started laughing.
"Huh?" raph grumbled and removed his hand and saw the food.
Narrowing his eyes at his prankster brothers and snatched the plate then ate without hesitation.
"Real funny guys. Jerks." Raph hissed, shoving the food into his mouth fast he could so his brothers wouldn't steal it even they wouldn't. They laughed so much that they had do it again and again.
"Hardy har har. I'm going out. See ya round guys." Raph grumbling told his brothers, storming out the lair after he finished eating his plate then leaving it on the coffee table.
"Ha ha, that was awesome. Should do that again." Mikey chuckled
"Yeah it was funny but I think we shouldn't do that again since he looses his temper too quickly and takes the joke too seriously." Leo assuringly told mikey
"I wonder what the old television has on for us tonight." Don said, reaching for the television remote.
"PUT IT CHANNEL TWO. COUNT DRACULA IS ON TONIGHT." Mikey told Don, fighting his brother for the remote.
"Give me the remote, mikey. Cut it out." Don hissed, telling mikey to stop fighting him for the remote.
"Give me the remote and quit fighting for the remote." Mikey replied, whinging
Leo giggled as he watched his brothers squabble over the TV remote and sat back, waiting until the remote either fell to the floor or slightly flung away so the blue clad terrapin could catch the remote and change the channel that he wants to watch; like the news for instance.
While mikey and Don squabbled over the remote, not taking any notice that it has fallen to the floor and then Leo reached out for it as fast he could, started flicking the channels as he listened to his brothers continued to squabble before realising something was missing.
"Hee Ha ha, I have the remote now; quit the squabbling you two." Leo giggled, flicking through the channels then came across the news report about mysterious murders of three gang members.
"I am in the alley where three bodies that we are not allowed to show on television. Three gang members were mysterious murdered in this alley only just last evening. That make the death toll to 12 in this week alone. Anyone with information about if may heard or seen anything suspicious; please call the police immediately. This is Jessica Nicholson reporting channel 3 eye witness news." News reporter announced
"Oook, that is just weird." Don confusedly stated
"What was all that about...gang members?" Leo also confusedly wondered
"Well at least three off the streets." Mikey mumbled with mouthful of food in his mouth.
"Something doesn't seem right about this." Leo stated wary
"Like what?" Don asked, raising a wary brow
"I don't know...I don't know but I'd like to find out." Leo replied, switching the television off and walked to the weapons cabinet and retrieved his twin katanas, sheathing them in their katana covers upon the blue clad terrapin's shell. "Well are you coming or not, you two?"
Both mikey and Don quickly gazed eachother, quickly stood up and grabbed their weapons then followed their elder brother to the garage and drove out to investigate and search for answers.
Unaware their sensei was watching them from the shadows of his door but remained in the lair as his sons left.
Meanwhile topside...
Raph leaped the rooftops through the City in the shadows until he came to miniature alley where a group of thugs were dealing illegal substances. Crouching on the edge of the rooftop, calculated where he should leap down and hide before taking action. Calculating is not using the red clad terrapin's strong point which happens to his elder brother's area of pectise.
Stealthing his way down the fire escape until he finally got to the ground and hid behind the large green trash bin; listening to what the punks had planned as they trade the product.
"There you go, lil shit. That is 200 bucks." Drug dealer told his junkie customer
"Here, 200 straight up." junkie replied, desperate for his next fix
The drug dealer snatched the money then ordered the drug addict to take a hike. "Thanks little shit. Now take a hike before I gut ya like bone fish."
The drug addict ran off without no hesitation or a second thought except to enjoy his next fix. While the drug dealer counted his collected green; unaware that he is been watched.
Raph takes one sai from his belt and readied himself to beat the crap out of the purple dragon punks until a large shadowy figure creped around the corner of the alley. A low snarling hissing sound was heard that made the gang members tremble in their boots.
"What the hell is that, boss?" Marcus asked, trembling and tried to grab his gun from the gun jack of his belt
"Why don't you go and find out." Jackson told him, pushing Marcus ahead while he stood back
Marcus slowly walked to the corner, quickly looked back to his possie for a second wondering if they were close by and ready to help him with whatever or whoever that could be lurking about. Raph remained in the shadows behind the large trash bin and watched silently.
"Hello? Look here, whoever you are; come out or I will have give a lesson for ears dropping and snooping around." Marcus ordered as he shouted out loud and continued to walk closer to the alley corner
GROWLING...HOWLING
The drug dealers trembled and stopped in their tracks but Jackson slowly walked backwards and decided to leave his companion to die while he made his escape. Raph jumped slightly from the growling and howling sounds but kept his cool and remained strong as he made sure to show no fear.
Marcus moved closer then he heard the growling sounds as he peeped around the edge of the alley wall then he tried to run when he was grabbed and dragged into the shadows. He was clawed and had his right arm bitten off. Fighting off the best he could, so he may escape, alive hopefully. Which it is unlikely. The walls and pavement were covered in blood splatters as the beast bit it's prey limb off.
"Jackson don't leave me to die here, help me...please help me." Marcus calling out, pleading while he ran and held his bleeding limb
A large clawed hand reached out and dragged the frightened injured man back to the shadowy corner and resumed the killing. While his friends ran off with such scarcely fear, not returning to the scene and try to rescue their comrade from his bloody fate. Raph listened to the screams of the criminal; even though he enjoys beating these punks but no one don't deserve to be killed in any way; no matter what the criminals have done.
Allowing the other drug punks to leave which raph will catch later on but right now, he wishes to know what or who is killing. Listening to the pleas, screams then finally gurgling silence filled the air; walking closer to the wall corner when footsteps began to drew towards him.
Leaping up the fire escape and avoid contact with whatever it may be round the corner. When finally hidden in the shadows above; what the red clad terrapin saw not only blew his mind with disbelief but also confusion with no fear as it was something he never wanted to be ever.
Watching the large white beast walk by then stopped for a second. Sniffing the air before returning to take it prey along with it and disappeared. Looking over the rooftop edge and noticed the walls and pavement were covered in red substances that drizzled down into bloody paddles beneath. Grabbing his cell phone from his belt and call his brothers to tell them about what he had seen.
The question running through his mind as he opened the phone and stared the numeric keypad; ready to dial the number.
'Will my bro's believe what I am gonna tell them?' raph wondered to himself until decided to put it away and follow the beast. Follow where this creature will go and then decide what should be done when returning to the lair.
