Chapter Six

Raphael's Trial

Raphael gritted his teeth and gripped his sai.

"Come on you bastard!" he snarled under his breath "Show me who I'm fighting! I'll tear 'em to pieces"

Everyone could see how eager Raphael was getting.

"He can't wait to get started" commented Donatello.

"Typical Raphael" said Leonardo "Always wanting to get into the fight"

He looked down at Mona and saw she was looking worried; he clasped her hand for comfort and reassurance.

"Don't worry Mona" he said "As long as I've known Raph, he's the toughest and most stubborn turtle I know"

Mona looked up at Leonardo and nodded in agreement with a weak smile.

Shang Tsung then clapped his hands and smiled a wicked smirk, he obviously had something planned.

Raphael cocked his head on one side in suspicion then Shang Tsung announced the combatant he had to face.

As soon as he said the name, everyone froze in shock and Raphael's eyes widened.

The combatant that appeared was not a human ninja monk like the ones Michelangelo and Mona faced, but a large dangerous and savage Tarkatan!

And to make matters more worrying, the Tarkaten was almost half as big as the previous Tarakatan's that fought in the trials.

"Hey!" cried Michelangelo in protest "That's foul play that is! He should have gotten a ninja monk!"

He was then whacked across the head by Donatello who shook his head.

"You heard what Raiden said!" he scolded "If you step out of line here they'll do worse to you!"

"I'm just saying!" said Michelangelo rubbing his head in annoyance "Why has Raphael gotten that monster for a combatant? He should have gotten the same as us!"

Both turtles looked across to Splinter, Raiden, Leonardo and Mona. Leonardo looked shocked, Mona looked terrified for her mate and Splinter and Raiden looked furious at Shang Tsung's decision for Raphael's combatant.

Shang Tsung just continued to smirk as he looked down at the scene below him.

"FIGHT!" he bellowed.

Raphael gripped his sai and glared hard at the Tarkatan.

"So you want to fight huh?" he snarled "Then come on" he charged at the Tarkatan and held his sai up as the savage monster clanged his blades on them.

Everyone bit their lips as Raphael battled ruthlessly against the Tarkatan throwing kicks, punches and his sai blades at every open area on the fanged beast.

"Go Raph!" cheered Michelangelo "Kick his butt back to the Neatherealm!"

Mona pressed her fists into her lips as she watched her mate fight fearlessly and honourably.

Shang Tsung frowned as he watched the turtle do well for about five minutes but then his smirk returned as the Tarkatan began to show no mercy by slashing his blades at the turtle's limbs intending to dismember him!

Raphael then back flipped away as the Tarkatan slashed his arm blades at his legs then flipped his sai so he was holding the tips of the blades.

Leonardo then saw what he was about to do and bit his lip.

Raphael then glared at the Tarkatan coming towards him and held up his sai in a throwing position.

"End of the line! Monster!" he snarled.

Then as soon as he got an opening, he threw his sai at the Tarakatan's head and the blades impaled his eyes!

The Tarkatan screamed horribly causing everyone to wince, then their jaws dropped as Raphael strode up to the monster who stumbled as he was about to fall dead and grabbed the hilts of the sai.

No sooner had he done that Raphael placed his foot on the Tarkatan's chest and pushed away with all his might ripping the monster's head off in the process.

Everyone gasped in horror and shock as the headless Tarkatan fell to the ground and Raphael held up its head above his own with the blood dripping all over him.

Shang Tsung looked rather surprised but he clapped and announced:

"Raphael Wins, Fatality!"

Everyone stared in horror at the blood-soaked Raphael and Michelangelo placed his hand over his mouth to keep himself from throwing up.

He knew Raphael to be quite bloodthirsty during battles with the Foot, Purple Dragons and other enemies they had fought but he never saw anything like that.

Finally the silence was broken by Shang Tsung's clapping.

"I'm impressed Raphael" he said "You performed the first Fatality in the trials, I wonder if you'll do it again, that is if you survive your second round"

"If it were a ninja monk, I wouldn't have performed that" said Raphael "He would have deserved a quick painless death, that Monster was a mindless creature with no humanity or remorse"

Shang Tsung frowned, but the other turtles, Mona, Splinter and Raiden looked relieved at the fact that he hadn't turned into a blood lustful killer.

Splinter gave a small smile at Raphael's honour.

Shang Tsung leaned back on his throne and got ready to clap his hands.

"Very well" he said "Now, prepare to meet your next opponent"

Raphael gripped his sai and got ready to fight as the next opponent appeared as Shang Tsung clapped his hands.

As soon as the combatant appeared, Raphael felt his heart pound hard with a twinge of fear.

Standing before him was another Tarkatan but this one was bigger than the one he just fought! And to make matters worse, this one looked very hungry for flesh and was swinging his blades around in a determined way.

"Fuck!" Raphael thought in his head.

The others all thought the same thing as they stared at the monster that stepped towards Raphael.

Michelangelo clung onto Donatello and Leonardo wrapped his arms around Mona as she looked terrified for her mate.

Splinter and Raiden bit their lips in worry.

Raphael gritted his teeth as he successfully hid his fear and swallowed his pride before charging at the Tarkaten and waved his sai about.

But the Tarkatan proved to be a rather difficult opponent as he kept slashing his blades at Raphael each time the hot headed turtle tried to stab him with his sai.

As he slashed the blades, Raphael kept trying to block each move with his sai and duck as the sharp blades flew over his head and at his legs.

Shang Tsung's smirk got wider as he saw the turtle struggle to keep moving to avoid the blades.

"This is getting good" he said "I can see he's starting to get tired, he won't survive this!"

Mona saw Shang Tsung looking smug and saw his lips move. Leonardo did as well and his blood boiled.

"That bastard!" he growled "That Dishonourable, despicable fiend!"

"If Raphael doesn't get out of there he'll be slashed to pieces!" cried Donatello.

Splinter looked terrified as he saw how Raphael was getting tired and he couldn't keep up the fight for much longer.

Shang Tsung smirked and watched the whole show.

Mona felt tears in her eyes as she felt scared for her mate seeing how he was clearly starting to struggle.

Finally Leonardo could take it no more! He was furious that Shang Tsung had unfairly placed a more difficult opponent in front of his brother and how Shang Tsung had deliberately made sure that this monster would kill him.

Now seeing his brother in danger of being hacked to pieces he felt that something had to be done!

He quickly took out a kunai knife from his belt and threw it at the Tarkatan. Mona saw him do so and her eyes widened, as did the other turtles, Raiden and Splinter.

"Leonardo!" cried Splinter and Raiden in shock as he the small blade then embedded itself into the neck of the beast and stayed there.

The Tarkaten yelled and stopped slashing at Raphael to tend to his neck.

Raphael seeing his chance then leapt onto the Tarkatan and began to stab him several times with his sai making blood spray up from the wounds then he punched the Tarkaten so hard in the jaw he broke it.

Finally Raphael finished the job by stabbing the monster in-between the eyes and standing up.

He then turned around to Leonardo in shock realising he had thrown the knife to distract the beast so he could fight back.

"Leonardo!" cried Splinter still shocked by his eldest son's actions. Even though he was pleased that Leonardo had stepped into help his brother as he was in dire need, he knew that Leonardo might be punished severely for breaking the rules.

"LEO!"

Raphael ran over to Leonardo with wide eyes but before he could get close to his brother, Shang Tsung appeared with his arms folded.

"Leonardo" he said "Don't think for a minute that I didn't see what you did"

Leonardo glared at Shang Tsung whilst everyone else looked terrified.

"You saying I played unfairly or cheated?" he spat "After you deliberately choose a way too strong opponent for my brother to fight when my little brother and sister were given equally strong ones!"

Shang Tsung crossed his arms and glared at the blue masked turtle.

"The tournament rules are stated in the trials as well as the main tournament, that no combatant will have assistance from another, unless they are in a dual fight" he said "Thus you broke that rule and we punish those who break rules very severely!"

Everyone looked at Shang Tsung dreading the punishment he was going to pass over Leonardo and Raiden lowered his head in sadness.

"Leonardo" he said seriously as a smirk crossed his face, "You have broken one of the tournament rules by helping your brother when he was fighting his opponent"

"You chose that opponent so Raphael would be mincemeat!" growled Leonardo "You have no honour!"

"Well said Leo!" spat Mona "Pathetic! Cowardly!"

Shang Tsung looked across to Mona and glared.

"You hold your tongue lizard!" he snarled "or you'll share the same punishment!"

Raphael instantly pulled Mona towards him despite the fact he was still covered in the Tarakatan's blood.

"You will not touch her!" he growled.

Shang Tsung looked at Raphael and glared again.

"Count yourself lucky I'm not going to make you fight again" he said "You may have been lucky because of your big brother, but you won't be so lucky in the main tournament!"

"Is that a Threat?" snarled Splinter "You dare threaten my children?"

Shang Tsung looked at Splinter and narrowed his eyes unthreatened by the wrathful rat.

He then looked back at Leonardo.

"For your actions Leonardo" he said "You will be locked in Goro's Lair!"

"GORO?!" cried Michelangelo in terror.

"That monster!?" cried Donatello.

"WHAT!?" cried Mona

"No!" said Raphael.

Shang Tsung then looked at the turtles, Splinter, Raiden and Mona then grinned and grabbed Leonardo's wrist causing him to disappear in a light.

"LEO!" cried the turtles and Mona together

"My son!" cried Splinter.

"What did you do to him?" Raphael demanded furiously.

"I merely teleported him to the dungeons outside Goro's Lair" said Shang Tsung "And there he will stay until it is time for him to face Goro for his trial, and I very much doubt he will survive"

"You son of a bitch!" snarled Mona.

Splinter snarled angrily.

"You had better not let my son be hurt!" he said "Never have I seen such dishonour!"

"Silence!" barked Shang Tsung "Leonardo will be just fine, maybe just slightly uncomfortable in the dark dungeons, but still alive"

He then floated back to his throne with everyone glaring at him.

"We shall continue the trials until you have all been tested" said Shang Tsung "and then" he added "We shall watch and see if Leonardo survives his trial with Goro"

Raphael hugged Mona close in fear for his brother.

Donatello and Michelangelo tried to reassure Splinter who looked worried for Leonardo.

Raiden glared at Shang Tsung but he worried for Leonardo having to face Goro when his brothers and sensei had finished their trials.

Raphael's performed his fatality!

But Leonardo broke the rules by helping him out with his second fight!

Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
