Chapter 6 : Never Say Xever
Since April found this new noodle shop owned by Mr. Murakami we've been going to it almost every night. Since he's blind we thought it would be fun to have the turtles come to his shop. He doesn't get many customers so it'll be perfect. I can't wait for them to try it.
Me and April are walking down the street while the turtles are being stealthy. Which I don't get why, the streets are empty. We stop walking and April yells, "You think you could hurry it up guys?"
Donnie pops out from behind the ticket booth and asks, "Are you saying turtles are slow?"
"That's a hurtful stereotype." Mikey says coming out from behind the ticket booth with Raph behind him.
Leo who's leaning against the up coming movie says, "Trust us, we are better off keeping a low profile. We find people treat us better when they don't know we exist."
"Sorry we're just so exited to get you out of the sewers for a change." April replies.
"What are you talking about, we go out all the time." Raph says like he's offended.
"Yeah but tonight you're going to be doing something other than hitting people." I say, squealing with joy.
Raph lets out a sad sigh and April tells him, "Don't be sad you guys are going to love this little noodle place I found."
"And you're sure we'll be welcomed?" Donnie asks, concern and worry fill his voice.
"Oh yeah, Mr. Murakami doesn't care what you look like. In fact he won't even know what you look like, he's blind." I say to reassure him.
We get to his noodle shop to see people destroying the place. A hand rises up to my mouth and April lets out a gasp. We both say in unison, "Oh no.."
We run over to the shop to see the Purple Dragons tearing up the place. "Who are those creeps?"
"The Purple Dragons." I spit out. "They think they own the streets around here." April finishes for me.
We see has Mr. Murakami hits the leader with a cutting board and the leader hits the island around them. The leader hits Mr. Murakami causing him to fall to the ground, he picks him up and throws him at a wall. Mr. Murakami slides down and lets out a scared groan.
"Well so much for not hitting people tonight." Leo says to us.
The turtles bust in, Mikey saying his catch phrase. "Alright, let him go. You don't want any trouble."
"Well we on the other hand do." Raph says to the Purple Dragons.
"Woah, those guys were serious. There really are giant turtles." The Purple Dragons ring leader says to his other members.
"You've heard of us?" A confused Mikey asks. "Dude's were famous."
"That's probably not a good thing Mikey." Donnie says in a mater of fact tone.
"Whatever, these streets are ours. So why don't you slither back to the ocean you came from." The leader says to them.
"Actually we're freshwater turtles-." Donnie says while saying other science gibberish about where they came from and gets cut of by the leader yelling, "Get them!"
The fight breaks out and me and April sneak in. April helps Mr. Murakami and I poke my head up and look to see how the fights going. I see Mikey picking up the spoon from the bowl and was about to eat it. One of the Purple Dragons members sees he's distracted and was about to hit him.
I grab a lib and throw it like a frisbee and it hits the Dragon member knocking him down. "Whoa, thanks Star."
"You're welcome." I reply before helping April get Mr. Murakami outside where it's safe.
Soon the Purple Dragons take off running out of the noodle shop saying that it wasn't over. We help Mr. Murakami back inside and I say to the guys, "That was awesome you guys!"
"Thanks Star, did you see when I popped that one guy and flew him over the counter. Did it look cool? I bet it look cool." Donnie says.
"The coolest." I say acting like I was saw it.
"You didn't see it, did you?" He asks.
"No, I did not." I say apologetically.
"My friends, I am indebted to you. Please allow me to make you a meal, free of charge." Mr. Murakami says to all of us.
"I don't see why not?" Raph says to Murakami.
"What is you're favorite dish?"
We both knew what was coming. "PIZZA!" The four them yelled.
Mr. Murakami starts to cook and he slices the bread and Donnie says, "Mr. Murakamisan that was awesome."
"Yeah, you're like a ninja but for food." Mikey jumps in.
After a couple of minutes Mr. Murakami sets down a little tray in front of the four turtles saying, "Pizza Gyizo."
The turtles plop one into their mouth and chew it. They all seem to like it so that's good. "It's like I've got a one way ticket to flavorville."
April holds up our soup bowls and says, "You know this is pretty good to you know."
They ignore her comment and continue to eat their food. "Hey Murakamisan do the Purple Dragons come around a lot?" Leo asks.
"Yes, they want protection money but I refuse to pay. They will surely be back." Murakami replies.
"Well they wouldn't if someone wouldn't have wimped out." Raph says, making Leo close his eyes and hang his head low.
Mikey on the other hand saw an opportunity to take his brothers food and took it. Leo got really frustrated and mad at his youngest brother.
Since the turtles can't really talk to anyone they enlisted me and April's help. We headed on the street around the Chinatown part of New York and see a man sweeping in front of his building. We walk over to him I ask, "Hey, do you know where I can find the purple dragons?"
He looks around worriedly and says, "I don't know what you're talking about."
April looks around before saying to the man, "Don't worry I can protect you. We're undercover cop."
"You two look like you're sixteen." The man replies.
"We know, we're really good at our jobs." She says to reassure him.
"Are you? The let me see your badges."
"Are you crazy? We can't carry a badge, that would blow our cover." I say.
"I suppose that makes sense." He says scratching his head. "They're in the old fortune cookie factory."
April calls the guys and tells them where the Purple Dragons hideout is. I'm guessing that they went there to make sure Murakami wouldn't be bothered. After telling them we start to head home but something was telling me that we needed to go and check on Mr. Murakami.
"Hey, April?"
"Yeah?" She asks.
"Can we head over to Mr. Murakami's to make sure he's okay?"
"Yeah we can."
So we turn around and head over to Mr. Murakami's. When we walk into the resturant the place is trashed and Murakami is nowhere to be found. April calls the turtles and says, "We need you guys at Mr. Murakami's now!"
We wait out side for a couple of minutes. "What's wrong?" Leo asks as him and his brothers ask as they jump down from the roof top.
"It's Murakami." I tell them.
We head inside and they see the place, April walks over to the note on the wall saying, "Someone took him and left this."
Donnie grabs the note and reads, " No more running, if you want the old man meet us on the rook of the old fortune cookie factory."
"Well what are we waiting for lets bust in there and save Mr. Murakami."
"Hold up, not so fast. Think Raphael." Leo tells his brother.
"Those are two words that don't usually don't go together." Donnie shoots out.
"This is obviously a trap." Leo continues.
"Well what choice do we have?" Raph argues.
"Maybe we do need to think more like Xever."
"But Master Splinter-." Leo cuts Donnie off by saying, "I know! But Xever crossed the line, dragging Murakami into this. He's gotta learn that we can cross the line too. No more Mr. Nice Turtle."
"Yes! I never did like Mr. Nice Turtle." Raph says happily.
After the turtles save Mr. Murakami they head back to the lair with some free Pizza Gyizo. They heat some of it up and Donnie says holding one of the dumplings out, "Come one, just try one. Sometimes things that seem like they don't go together actually make a great couple... I mean food."
"Fine." I say opening my mouth.
He puts it in my mouth and I start to chew it. It's actually pretty good. "Whoa! These are amazing!"
I grab the plate from and say, "April, you've got to try these!"
"Nah, I'm good."
Since she doesn't try one I eat some but then remember that they're Donnie's. I hand him back the plate and mumble out, "Sorry."
"It's okay." He says finishing them off.
After a couple of hours we head back home and have a movie night with our aunt who just got home from her shift at the hospital. I put in one of the spider-man movies and me and April sit on both sides of our aunt.
Halfway into the movie she falls asleep so me and April turn off the movie. I grab a blanket that's sitting in an empty chair and put it over her. After that we head to bed.
