Chapter 27

Raph leaned his head against the cold metal wall of the back of the military van that he and Leo were being captured in. He looked up and over at Leo, his face remained the same, eye's closed and emotionless. Raph sighed and felt the truck hit a pothole, jerking his body off the seat for a second. He heard the shackles on his wrists jingle as the truck continued on the smooth road.

Raph grunted and slammed the shackles against truck , leaving a dent. He cursed and sunk back down in his seat. Rested his elbows on his knees and buried his face in his palms. They had him, there was no hope for any of them. Leo is in a state of comatose, Don and Mikey are still gone, and Coplan got them. He got all of them.

"That bitch" Raph muttered under his breath, then looked back up at Leo, "I could really use your help here Leo"

…..

"Don!" Leo shouted, franticly looking around, seeing that he was alone.

"What the heck" Leo said softly

He looked around hopelessly, seeing nothing but himself In a room, surrounded by dark. He grunted in confusion, "Don!" He shouted again

He went to walk, but his foot gave away as he stepped on it and he hit the ground hard. He looked up and saw he vision slowly fade to black. Then, nothing.

….

Leo's eye's snapped open, he blinked, trying to remember where he was. He looked around and squinted in confusion, wondering where he was. He tried to move his arms, but he looked down and saw his wrists were in shackles. Then he saw Raph sitting across from him.

"Raph?" He said softly

Raph's head jerked up, "Leo!".

Raph sat there in complete shock, staring at Leo, not knowing what to do.

"What happened to me?" Leo asked

"I don't know!" Raph admits, "You were ok one minute, then just dropped to the ground"

Leo looked around, "Are we in the back of a truck?" He asked

Raph's expression changed in an instant, "Yeah..."

"Coplan" Leo said softly.

"Yeah" Raph said softer.

"Damnit" Leo said, leaning his head back on the wall, then felt something brush against his foot. He looked down and saw the sword that he had in wherever he was. He bent over and picked it up.

"Where did that come from?" Raph asked in amazement

Leo stared at the sword, not knowing what to think about it. He held it tightly and stood up, signally Raph to stand up as well.

"Hold out you're shackles" Leo ordered and Raph followed instructions

Leo placed the blade on the chain and jerked it down. The chain broke, freeing Raph.

"Thank god, Let me see" Raph said, out reaching his hand for the sword. Leo gave it to him and Raph broke Leo's chains.

"Good, now how do we get out of here?" Raph asked

Leo took the sword and looked around the truck, he walked up to the wall and placed his hand on it, gently tapping his knuckles on it.

"I got it" Leo said

…..

Robert sighed as he flipped through the radio stations, hearing the same old stuff. "Screw it" He muttered and turned off the radio. He exhaled and leaned back I his seat, staring at the scenery as they sped by. It wasn't much of a scenery, UFTU soldiers crowded the streets, armed to the teeth. He looked down at his armor and examined the UFTU patch. He grunted and tore it off.

"That's not a good idea" Paul spoke as he turned the wheel

"Who cares, the boss is full of shit anyway" Robert added

"He might be, but he'll kill you if you don't have you're uniform on"

"I don't care anymore" Robert muttered softly

"Why say that?" Paul asked

"Cause look at us, we're apart of some stupid club to find something that doesn't exist" Robert protested

"Well you see we have two turtles in the back" Paul added

"They didn't look real to me, looked like a costume….I just…I hate this….I hate it"

Paul was silent.

"I mean I was a lawyer before all this shit, I had a family, I was successful! Then this piece of shit starts this and I'm forced against my will to join…and stupid me, joining meant losing my family"

There was a chilling silence in the truck.

"I know how that feels, losing someone you love…It's like-"

Robert heard Paul words turn to cries of pain, he jerked his head and saw a sword sticking out of Paul's chest. Paul's arm's flailed around, leaving the steering wheel unattended. Robert cursed and went to control the wheel, but as he grabbed it, the truck hit a the curb. Forcing Robert to turn the wheel left, causing it to turn suddenly and tip over. The truck skidded across the road and headed straight into traffic.

The truck hit several other cars and caused a massive pile up. Loud noises erupted as a few cars burst in flames.

….

Don stared at the artifact that hung from the wires in the middle of the lab, he slowly walked around it. Examining it's every feature.

"Can it take us home?" Mikey asked

"Yes Mikey….We can go home" Don said happily

He walked up to the artifact and placed his hand on it.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Mikey almost shouted

"Just hold on Mike" Don said

"Hurry up" Mikey impatiently said

Don sighed and examined the artifact closely. He looked inside the artifact and found two holes where a wire was supposed to be.

"What are you doing?" Mikey asked

"Just….Looking" Don said

"Come on I want to go home!" Mikey shouted

"Ok ok ok" Don grabbed the artifact and yanked it off of the wires, "You ready for this?" Don asked

"I've been ready ever since I got here" Mikey said, walking closer to it and placing a hand on it.

Don took a deep breath, closed his eyes and pressed the button.

…..

Leo felt the dull pain roll through his body, he slowly moved his arm closer to Raphs, "Raph?" He says softly.

"I'm alright" Raph says softly

Leo places his hands on the floor and pushes himself up. He looks up at the door and see's it halfway open. He crawled to Raph and placed a hand on his shoulder, then heard the doors be bashed open. He snapped his head over and saw Coplan standing there.

"I've had enough of you shit for brains" Coplan turned to darkness then appeared closer to them, he grabbed Leo's neck and launched him out of the truck. He flew through the air and landed hard on a car, breaking the windshield and rolling onto the ground. He looked and saw Raph hit a car near him. Then Coplan transported near them.

"I'm sick and FU*KING tired of you too shitfaces ruining all my plans" He continued as he walked closer to them, "You don't understand how much I hate you shit f*cks…I'm going to take all four of you turtle shitters and –"

A large sound buzzed through the air, Leo and Raph couldn't process fast enough and only saw a blue blur hit Coplan at full speed. Leo looked over to where it came from and saw Coplan smashed between a blue car and a building.

"Holy shit" Raph muttered under his breath

Leo continued to look at the car and saw the two doors swing open. One side, Don staggered out, Mikey on the other side.

"Oh my god" Leo said under his breath

Don looked around for a second before spotting Leo and Raph, a smile grew on his face.

"GUYS!" Don shouted and ran to them, Mikey looked and his face grew in joy.

Leo and Raph shot up and they embraced, Leo held Don tightly while Raph grabbed Mikey and tightly grasped him. They held each other, not wanting to let go.

"Awww, isn't this sweet" They all heard

They turned around and saw Coplan standing in the middle of the road, unharmed. One arm still missing.

"You bastard" Raph said softly

"No need to be violent Raphael, now I'll appreciate it if you all would just DIE ALREADY" Coplan screamed, pulling out a gun and pointing it at them.

Then the artifact shot out a white flash and started shaking. Then a two swords shot through the artifact, Leo jumped up and caught them. Then two sai's, a bo staff and two nun chucks. They all caught it and examined it.

"Guys" Leo said softly

Coplan looked at them oddly.

They all quickly moved to their signature positions.

"Time to finish this" Leo said
