Ch.6: Stringing Through The Clues
An evil laugh escaped from Crimelord's throat as he continued to watch the pathetic struggle of the turtles through his viewing globe. Everything was going exactly as he had planned.
With the turtles now divided, destroying Raphael would be all more sweet. And all the world would bow to the Crimelord!
"Phase 3 is ready to start", said Crimelord, getting up from his chair " I go and see how the lackeys in the next room are doing,"
However, just before the villain could leave his dark chamber three interesting images appeared on the viewing globe. Leo, Don, and Mikey, walking the streets, in search for clues.
Curious about the brothers actions, Crimelord decided to watch and listen.
"So what are we looking for Leo?" asked Mikey.
"Nothing," said Leo, confusing his brothers.
"What do you mean?" asked Don.
"Something is seriously wrong here guys" said Leo, with a serious look " I think Master Splinter may have been right when he said something more was going on,"
"You mean about this Crimelord guy?" said Don " Come on Leo, we don't even know that this guy exsists,"
"And you think Raph would really be so heartless to betray his whole family" said Leo " Look at the facts Donnie!"
"What facts?" asked Mikey.
"We've been attacked at least twice now at places that Shredder and Krang wouldn't know about" said Leo " April says she saw a duplicate of her at the news station, and now we got this mysterious note from Donnie to Raph saying that he should pay a visit to Baxter,"
"Yeah" said Mikey " those are pretty strange. But what does it mean?"
"Someone wanted us to turn against Raph" said Donnie in sudden realization " that's why he set those attacks, to break our brotherhood,"
"Why go after Raph though?" asked Mikey " I mean if this crime-dude really exists, then why does he want to separate us from our brother?"
"That's what we have to find out" said Leo " we're going to track this Crimelord down,"
"Where do we start?" asked Don.
"How about you start with me," creeped an eerie voice, as fearful image of Crimelord suddenly appeared from a cloud of smoke.
The turtles turned stunned at the unexpected arrival, and before they could reach for their weapons to defend, a mystic, green glow lit up Crimelord's left hand.
"Be gone!" shouted Crimelord.
"Aaahh!" cried the turtles, disappearing in a green flash. Nothing left but a burning cinder lay on the ground.
"Hmph" said the Crimelord " that should keep the meddlesome trio out of my way. Their care for their brother shows little difference. Inside their souls they still scorn him. Little do they know, that one day that scorn will rise to something much, much brighter."
