Chapter 8 Battle
A/N It's been awhile since I updated, sorry! Thank you to everyone who reviewed!
Leo POV
Bang Bang
" Wakey wakey turtle" I hear someone call. I open my eyes to a dark room. I sit up and look around trying to figure out where I am, but I can't see. The ground is freezing and smooth, so I assume I am in a metal cell, but I don't know where.
The door creaked open letting in the light. I squint, and see that Fishface is at the door.
" Ahh!" I yell as I leap up and charge at fish face. I immediately fall feeling a sharp pain in my wrists, arms and my left leg. I look down to see I am chained.
" I will get out, and when I do you'll wish you let me go right now"! I threaten.
" You still fight, even when you are clearly defeated" Fishface stated walking into get me. " Master Shredder wants to see you."
I wait for him to unlock the chain that connects these shackles to the wall.
Click.
I charge at Fish Face and knock him over as I sprint to the door, but I crash into Tiger Claw who is standing guard at the door.
" You will not be getting out" Tiger Claw growls at me before dragging me down the dark hall and up a flight of stairs.
Plan. I need a plan, but first my injuries. I know that my left leg has a deep cut, and so does my left arm and other minor cuts and bruises, maybe even a concussion. I will need to treat them as soon as I can.
I limp into shredder's new lair. I glare at shreder as I take in my surroundings. I notice that there are dozens of foot bots standing around the edge of the room. It is smaller than his old lair, but not by much. There is an above ground pool for Fish Face in the corner. There are no window, and I only see three doors. There is another one on the other side where I assume will lead to another part of the lair. The big metal doors that the shredder is facing must be the exit.
" Leonardo, I'm glad you could join us" the Shredder said. So, he is alive.
" Let me go" I demand.
" You are my prisoner now, turtle" The shredder said getting up from his throne, but I notice a slight limp. " I will make you a deal. Tell me where Yoshi is, and when I have him I will let you go"
" Never" I shout instantly without hesitation. I will never betray my family, I will protect them with my life.
" It is your choice. Either you tell me where Yoshi is and I end him, or I end you and take Yosh's son away from him. Either way, he will lose. You can still save yourself"
" Never" I repeat.
" Very well. Every day you will fight either Tiger Claw, Beebop, Fishface or Rocksteady for an hour. Every day I will ask you where Yoshi is, and if you tell me you will be set free. If you can no longer train Tiger Claw, Beebop, Fishface and Rocksteady, I will finish you" The shredder tells me. So, I will be fighting them and they will be able to study my moves, the same moves that my brothers have learned.
" I will never betray my family, I am not like you" I shout at the Shredder.
" Very well" the Shredder says. Tiger Claw, prepare to battle Leonardo, Fishface, give him two katanas and take thoes shackles off. Then go with Rocksteady and Bebop to guard the door. If you were thinking of escaping, it is locked as well" The Shredder says.
I am given two unfamiliar katanas while my shackles are removed. I need a plan, but I will focus on that later. Now I need to be completely focused on fighting so I don't get any more injuries.
Tiger Claw charges at me beginning our fight. We dodge and attack ferociously. This is like training, except Tiger Claw means to harm me. After about few minutes I manage to completely disarm Tiger Claw. I attack, but I am stopped by the foot bots.
" What are you doing?" I demanded angrily. This fight was supposed to be between me and Tiger Claw, not some foot bots.
" I will not let them be harmed" Master Shredder said.
Ok, I can't get ahead or beat them or they will cheat. I only need to dodge the attacks.
I spend the next hour dodging and blocking. By then end Tiger Claw and I are breathing heavily.
" Enough" The shredder shouts causing Tiger Claw to stop his attacks. " Where is your father"
I refuse to answer. I think of charging, but even if I can get past the Shredder, I need to get past the door. I need a solid plan.
" Very well take him to his cell.
Bang, I hear the door slam shut. I am back in my cell. I am used to longer training sessions, but I usually don't fight with wounds, and I am able to treat them too. I can't see my wounds, but I take the wrappings from my hands to cover the worst.
" Leonardo" I hear from the other side of the door. " You will take my deal eventually"
I continue to treat my wounds ignoring the Shredder. I try to push away the fear. The fear that I will never see my father brothers or sister. The fear of what is to come. But I know I will never tell the shredder where my family is. Not in a million years.
