Ch 13 An Unexpected Foe
Leonardo followed the trail of purple that Bebop's pack had left. The blue masked turtle knew it was foolish of him to go alone and without his weapons but at the current moment all he could think about was getting Donatello back. So Leonardo jumped from roof to roof until he ran into someone. Literally. The two collided and hit the ground with a thud. "Hey watch it!" a familiar voice cried out as Leonardo was shoved off of him.
"Casey?" Leonardo said, surprised his friend was there.
"Leo?" Casey said, his voice full of the same surprise.
"What are you doing here?" the pair said at the same time.
"Donnie was taken by Bebop," Leonardo informed his friend.
"And you were gonna rescue him alone?" Casey asked not even bothering to hide the surprise in his voice.
"Well obviously," Leonardo said, rolling his blue eyes.
"No offence Leo but that's like seriously dumb," Casey said with a slight laugh.
"Ugh I don't have time to sit here a debate this with you," Leonardo growled. "I've gotta save Donnie!"
"Well I'm comin' with ya," Casey said as he pulled out his T-com. "I'm letting the others know whats' goin' on."
"Fine whatever lets just go," Leonardo snapped as he jumped to the next roof. Casey groaned and went after his friend after sending an SOS message to Karai and Michelangelo and letting them know to track his T-Com. But unknowingly to Casey he had also sent the same message to Raphael, who was struggling to sleep. After reading the message Raphael sat up in bed and pulled back his covers
"Slash wake up," the red masked turtle hissed shaking Slash's arm.
"Huh?" Slash muttered rubbing his eyes. "What's wrong Raphael?"
"Leo and Casey need our help," Raphael informed his friend as he slid out bed and into his chair. "Donnie's been captured again. C'mon I'm already trackin' 'em." With that Raphael grabbed his gear and sais and wheeled out the door.
"Right behind ya," Slash said, grabbing his mace. With that the two turtles headed out of the lair. But to their shock they found the Shell Raiser was already gone.
"Damn it Karai and Mikey must've already left," Raphael grumbled.
"And my team too," Slash grumbled. "Those sons of bitches didn't even come get me when they left."
"They probably didn't want to wake me," Raphael grumbled, sounding really disappointed.
"Well that don't mean we can't still go," Slash said, grabbing the back of Raphael's chair and pushing him out the lair. "This way don't have any ladders to climb," Slash informed his friend.
"Just step on it," Raphael grumbled. With that the snapping turtle ran at top speed both of them hoping they'd be able to help save Donatello.

Meanwhile Leonardo and Casey had arrived at the Shredder's new lair. By now the pair had met up with Michelangelo, Karai, April, Mondo Gecko, Leatherhead and Dr. Rockwell. "Hey where's Slash?" Casey asked, surprised Slash wasn't there.
"I knew we were forgettin' somethin'," Mondo said, slapping his forehead. "Man he's gonna be pissed as Hell when we get back."
"Never mind about that," Leonardo hissed, putting his katana that Michelangelo had given him in their holders. "We've gotta save Donnie. Anyone got any ideas?"
"Leo you're the leader," April pointed out. "Its your call." Leonardo gave the redhead an unsure look. "Leo it'll be fine," April said gently, putting her hand on Leonardo's arm.
"I don't know," Leonardo said softly. "Maybe someone else should lead. What if I mess up?"
"Leo that won't happen," Karai said, with a small amount of force. "You can do this."
"Yeah bro," Michelangelo said with a smile. "We believe in you." Leonardo smiled back at his friends.
"You really think I can do this?" he asked.
"Of course we do," Dr. Rockwell said. "After all you are a well experienced leader." Leonardo smiled at his monkey friend and motioned for the group to follow him.
"Ok," Leonardo whispered, once they were inside. "We're gonna split up. Mikey you and Leatherhead go left. Casey you, Karai and Dr. Rockwell go right. Mondo you and April are with me. We'll go straight."
"Got it," the group said together as they dispersed. Leonardo, April and Mondo went straight hoping to find some sign of Donatello or Shredder and his goons.
"Geeze this place is huge," Mondo whispered as he scanned the area.
"Shh," Leonardo hissed. "Quiet. Someone will.." But before he could finish the sentence suddenly the duo was flung backwards by Rocksteady, who had heard them approaching, and into the wall.
"Hello little turtle," Rocksteady sneered. "And you brought a little girl and a little lizard too. Good. More for me to smash."
"Hey dude I'm a gecko not a lizard," Mondo shouted, glaring at Rocksteady.
"It matters not," Rocksteady declared, putting on his brass knuckles. "Both smash the same." With that Rocksteady charged towards the duo full force. But Leonardo and Mondo were ready and jumped to the side causing Rocksteady to crash into the wall. Snorting in rage the rhino charged again. This time he connected and sent Leonardo threw the air and he landed hard on the ground. But Mondo was ready and he hit Rocksteady hard with his skateboard. But the skateboard broke and Rocksteady laughed at the orange skinned gecko. "Nice try little lizard," he scoffed raising his fist to strike Mondo. But April was watching and she kicked the rhino as hard as she could, sending him to the ground. Then together April, Mondo and Leonardo attacked, sending Rocksteady to the ground unconscious.
"C'mon," Leonardo said after catching his breath. "Lets go find the others." With that the turtle, the human, and the gecko left to meet up with the rest of their group.

Meanwhile Michelangelo and Leatherhead were scanning the area in search of any signs of activity. But it wasn't long before the activity found them. Soon they found themselves face to face with Tiger Claw and Dog-Pound. "Alright this is exactly what I need," Dog-Pound said cracking his knuckles.
"You mean exactly what we need," Michelangelo shot back as he got out his nunchakus. "Booyakashaw!" With those words Michelangelo and Leatherhead attacked. Leatherhead charged at Tiger Claw full force. But the assassin was ready and quickly dodged the attack. Tiger Claw then hit Leatherhead hard with his chain sending the alligator to the ground. Before Leatherhead could recover Tiger Claw blasted him with his laser gun, stunning him. Michelangelo went to help his friend but he was stopped by Dog-Pound tacking him to the ground. The orange masked turtle threw the wolf off of him and hit him hard with his nunchakus. "Trust me son you do not want a piece of me!" Michelangelo cried out.
"I'll teach you you pathetic piece of sewer garbage!" Dog-Pound snarled as he charged forward. But Michelangelo wasn't going down any time soon and he was fueled by determination. And that was not letting his fear get the better of him. Michelangelo shook away his fear and let his only concern be rescuing Donatello. "For you Donnie," the freckled faced turtle thought. With those thought Michelangelo charged and lept as high as he could and wrapped the chain of his nunchakus around Dog-Pound's wrists and with all his might he flung him hard into Tiger Claw and both went down. By now Leatherhead had recovered and he slammed into the pair, ramming them both into the concrete wall and knocking them out.
"Come my friend," the mutant alligator said. "Lets find the others." With that the turtle and alligator left to catch up with the others.

Meanwhile Karai, Dr. Rockwell and Casey were doing their own searching. "Man this sucks," Casey muttered. "This place is huge. How are we.." But before the teen could finish his thought suddenly him and his friends were knocked off their feet by a purple blast.
"What the.." Karai cried out as she and her friends got to their feet.
"Ooh yeah take that suckers!" Bebop cried out as he flew over head. "And take this too! With that he flew forward and head butted the trio making sure his sharp tusks hit them. The group flew backwards only to be met with the mechanical leg of Fishface/
"You thought this was going to be easy?" Fishface sneered. "Well fun time is over."
"Damn right it is," Karai growled, glaring at the fish.
"You two handle him," Dr. Rockwell said. "I've got this little piggy's number."
"Hey man don't call me little piggy!" Bebop snarled, as he shot another blast at the monkey.
"Oh please," Dr. Rockwell scoffed. With that he shot his own blast at Bebop, catching him by surprise and causing him to lose control of himself. Dr. Rockwell quickly used that to his advantage and swung up on one of the pipes and delivered a hard kick to Bebop's chest, sending him flying backwards where Casey was waiting. Casey hit Bebop hard with his hockey stick, knocking his out cold. "Well done Casey," Dr. Rockwell praised.
"Thanks Doc," Casey said with a grin. The duo looked up and saw that Karai had easily taken Fishface out. Satisfied the trio left in search of the rest of their group.

A few minutes later the entire group had met back up. By now they had reached the center of the building. "Great and still no sign of Donnie!" Casey groaned.
"You want a sign?" a voice said from the shadows. "Here's your sign!" Before any of them could react a large blast knocked them off their feet. Suddenly the figure jumped out from the shadows and attacked. He took out April, Casey, Mondo, and Dr. Rockwell with ease. And he had his sights on Leonardo and Michelangelo starting towards the two brothers. "You two are mine," he snarled, taking out his weapon. Leatherhead stepped up to intercept but Leonardo held up his hand.
"No," the oldest turtle commanded. "Me and Mikey got this."
"But Leo," Karai began. But she was stopped by Leatherhead putting his hand on her shoulder. Locking eyes the teen ninja nodded her head, knowing she should do what Leonardo said.
"You want us?" Leonardo growled, aiming his katanas at the figure. "You got us!"
"Yeah bring it on!" Michelangelo snarled, trying not to show how scared he was.
"You two are going to regret saying that," the figure snarled back.
"Hold it that voice sounds really familiar," Casey said scratching his head.
"Yeah it sounds like.." April began. Then her blue eyes widened when it dawned on her who the figure was. "Donnie!" she cried out
