Chapter Ten
A Hint Of Revelation
The two father turtles and their daughters observed the ninja as they surrounded them.
Leonardo clenched his katana tightly and Raphael gripped his sai.
At the same time, Pandora gripped Mr Swinger and held the ball end in her right hand, her eyes fully focused on the ninja and her mouth curled into a snarl.
Kemeko meanwhile felt nervous, but she kept her tanto up to the level of her eye.
She had managed to handle the Purple Dragons earlier, but this was something new and she wasn't supposed to be facing this kind of enemy until she was at least fifteen.
She couldn't see behind the masks the ninja wore, but she could sense that they were focused on her, and it made her feel uneasy.
Leonardo could sense his daughter's discomfort and he glared.
"So…the two daddies and their little princesses are together at last in the field!" one of the ninja said and Leonardo and Raphael's eyes widened when they heard the voice and recognised it right away!
"No way!" they said together as they met each other's glances.
The Ninja who spoke removed his hood and he smirked and the turtles as well as Pandora's eyes widened when they saw the face of Izo Arashi!
"Arashi!?" Leonardo gasped.
The Ninja smirked then turned to the ninja next to him who also removed his hood and Leonardo and Raphael looked shocked as well as horrified when they saw the face of Dr William Arden!
"Arden?!" Pandora cried then she glared "Managed to fix your ugly face at last? Not that it's improved anything!"
Raphael coughed at his daughter to shut up, but he couldn't help but agree with her and that her remark was rather clever!
"On the contrary Monalisa Two!" Dr Arden's voice was heard behind the hybrid and she turned around to see another ninja remove his hood and reveal himself to be Dr Arden!
"No fucking way!" Pandora cried.
"Bloody Shell!" Raphael exclaimed.
"They're all clones!?" Leonardo cried.
"Correct A Mondo!" the first Arden clone smirked.
"And he's not the only one!" the Arashi Ninja snickered, and a couple of other ninjas removed their hoods to show they were clones of him too!
"Clones, eh?" Raphael hissed "Where's the Primes? The originals?"
"Too chicken to come out and play?" Pandora asked mockingly before making a few clucking sounds and flapping her arms like wings.
"Shut it, Pandora!" Kemeko snapped as she looked at the Ninja and she could see more clearly in their eyes they were eyeing her specifically.
Leonardo glared.
"Who cares if they're clones?" he asked with a snarl "We kill them all!"
Raphael looked at his brother with a smirk.
"Music to my ears bro!" he said as he gripped his sai.
"ATTACK!" Leonardo shouted and he leapt into the air brandishing his katana which he used to slash, slice and dice at the clones, the drive to keep his family safe, especially Kemeko as this wasn't the right time for her to fight the Foot.
Raphael wasn't far behind, and he stabbed and punched at the clones.
Pandora was quick to throw Mr Swinger about to clash with any clone who got close to her as well as kick out with her feet and stab with her tail blade.
"I'll disfigure all you Arden Clones!" she shrieked as she stabbed one in the chest with her tail blade as well as struck another with the ball end of Mr Swinger making him fall against a couple of other hooded ninjas making them fall like dominos.
Meanwhile, Kemeko held up her tanto and looked at her father, Uncle Raphael and her cousin honoured sister Pandora fighting the ninja, and she wanted to help, yet she wasn't sure how to, as these ninjas had more skills as well as hidden tricks the Purple Dragons didn't possess, and as Pandora told her to, she stood behind the hybrid, but kept her guard up just in case.
It was a good thing she did, as one ninja managed to avoid Pandora, Raphael and Leonardo attacks and made it over to her.
Kemeko gasped in fear as she looked up at the ninja.
"Well, hello little girl." The ninja said as he removed his hood showing to be a clone of Arashi.
"My, what a fine young woman you're turning into, not yet sixteen and in the field with your family!"
Kemeko looked up at the clone and glared.
"You…you're the one my father speaks of, once leader of the Foot, but now demoted since the Shredder's return!"
The Arashi clone glowered.
"My Prime yes!" he snarled "The one he favours and praises above all and knows won't betray him!"
The clone drew a pair of wooden tonfas and spun them.
Kemeko recognised those weapons being the Chicago Knight Sarah the Cheetah's weapons back in Mutopia.
The clone then stepped closer to Kemeko, and she stepped back, keeping her weapons up.
"You scared to fight?" he asked, "Didn't that mutant you call a father teach you anything?"
Kemeko's eyes narrowed at the clone insulted Leonardo.
"Oh, he taught me so much!" she snapped "Don't underestimate me!"
The Arashi clone licked his lips and hissed and Kemeko felt uncomfortable as she could have sworn, she saw that his teeth looked sharper than human teeth were supposed to be.
"Well then…" the clone said, "Shall we see how good you really are? And not just a pretty face?"
Kemeko gritted her teeth.
"Come on!" she snarled.
The Arashi Clone chuckled knowingly and spun his tonfas.
As that happened, Leonardo saw Kemeko get confronted by the Arashi clone and his heart leapt to his throat.
"Kemeko!" he yelled "NO!" he tried to get close to her, but several Ninja Clones blocked him with their weapons and fought against him making it impossible to get close to his daughter.
"Lotus!" he cried helplessly as he fought against the ninja, trying to get past them so he could go over and protect his child, his adopted daughter, the one he promised Karai he would keep safe from harm, no matter what.
Raphael and Pandora had also seen Kemeko's plight and tried to help, but again they had several ninjas blocking them and keeping them on their toes to stop them getting close to Kemeko to help.
The Arashi Clone spun his tonfas at Kemeko and smirked.
Kemeko glared and spun her tantos watching the clone carefully.
If there was anything she had learnt from her family as well as her extended one in Mutopia it was to be prepared for anything.
There were also the wise words of Tyroth the Dragon that Pandora had told her when she had done training with him as well as faced his evil counterpart Vulstrun two years ago.
"Fight him, and you will only live as long as he will allow you to!"
Remembering those words, Kemeko squared her shoulders and looked up at the Arashi Clone.
"Come at me!" she snarled "I will cut you to ribbons!"
The Arashi clone smirked.
"You're a feisty one!" he said, "Whether you picked that up from your hybrid Cousin, or from your mother!"
No sooner did the clone say those words than Kemeko's eyes widened in shock.
"What?" she asked, yet she didn't have a chance to ask if she had misheard than the clone lashed out at her, and she was forced to fight back with her tanto.
The Asian girl slashed and stabbed with her tanto as the Arashi clone thew everything he had at her.
"You got the moves!" he taunted "I can see it all! You've learnt so much from those Turtles and their Lizard slut and Hybrid spawn, as well as that disgusting Rat they call Sensei! But I can see so much of a family resemblance in you, not just in your fighting, but in looks!"
Kemeko slashed her tanto at the Arashi clone and glared.
"What the Shell are you talking about?" she asked, "And what do you know about my mother?"
The Arashi Clone smirked and swung his tanto at Kemeko again making her lean back to avoid it and the Asian girl did a backwards somersault to avoid the weapon then she stood up straight.
"I suppose your daddy…" the Clone smirked as he stepped over, "Didn't tell you everything did he?"
"Tell me what?" Kemeko asked.
The Arashi clone smirked but before he could say anything else, the ball end of Mr Swinger appeared and wrapped around his neck, and he was pulled back!
Kemeko gasped in shock, and she saw Pandora appear behind the clone and yanking on her chain she pulled him onto his back before leaping on him and stabbing him in the chest with the dart end of Mr Swinger killing him!
"Get away from my sister Fucker!" she snarled then looked up at Kemeko.
"Kem!" she cried "Are you okay?"
Kemeko stared at her cousin, almost too shock to speak.
"Kem?" Pandora asked as she stood up and walked over to the Asian girl holding out her hands but before do anything else, a Dr Arden Clone ninja appeared and leapt for her!
Pandora was alarmed as she had seen him out the corner of her eyes but wasn't quick enough to react and the clone grabbed her by the throat before pushing up her up against a wall!
Raphael had seen his daughter get grabbed and he tried to help but had been knocked back by several other ninjas.
"Pandora! NO!" he screamed as he saw red and started to fight against the ninja to get to his child, even if it meant dishonour, he wanted to save his daughter
Pandora gasped as she felt herself hit the wall and she looked at the clone before her.
"You're the spitting image of your mother!" the Arden Clone snarled as his eyes flashed and he licked his lips.
Pandora slashed with her claws as well as kicked out with her feet and stabbed with her tail blade, but the clone kept her at arm's length as he pinned her against the wall.
"My prime will enjoy torturing you!" he smirked "Just like your slut of a mother!"
Pandora bared her teeth in defiance, but her eyes widened as she saw the mouth of the clone open wide, almost like that of a snake and his teeth were shown to be sharp and pointed!
"The fuck!?" she exclaimed in her head as she continued to struggle and fight as the Arden got close to her and opened his mouth more, so much it dislocated and opened so wide she could see every sharp snake tooth in his mouth.
"You're one of the Doctor's Abominations!" Pandora screamed as she kicked and slashed at the mutant Arden Clone, but she was unsuccessful as she was held tightly against the wall, and she barely had any energy left due to her throat being crushed.
"I am yes…" the clone hissed as a forked tongue appeared from his mouth "And he has a score to settle with her…and you will be a prime key to getting to her!"
Pandora grimaced as she saw the forked tongue appear from the clone's mouth as well as smelt the foul breath.
She gripped the wrist of the clone to try and pry his hands away but as she did, she saw a blade appear from the clone's mouth and he shrieked in a high pitched voice before dropping her and the Hybrid coughed before crawling away to see Kemeko behind the clone with her tanto in hand and she wrenched it out of the clone's head before he fell dead on the ground.
"Kemeko!" she cried rubbing her throat "Thanks!"
Kemeko nodded at her cousin then turned with her tanto ready to fight the other ninja that were fighting Raphael and Leonardo.
Her eyes blazed and her mind was filled with questions after what that clone had spoken to her about, and she wondered if any of the others had answers to her questions.
Yet as that happened, a couple of arrows were fired at a couple of ninjas who dropped to the ground bleeding and dead, and the two girls looked up to see Monalisa appear from a rooftop with her Japanese Bow and arrows along with Donatello and Michelangelo with their weapons drawn and ready to fight.
As soon as Monalisa, Donatello and Michelangelo appeared to join in the fight, the cloned ninjas were alarmed but were not prepared for the attack the two other turtles and Monalisa would bring on them.
Donatello spun his bo staff striking at all came close and Michelangelo swung his nun chucks in the same manner.
"Thank goodness you came!" Leonardo called out as Monalisa landed beside him and flicked out her fans.
"Always on call Leonardo!" Monalisa called out and slashed her fans at the few ninjas who had survived the fight started to retreat.
At the same time, Pandora stood in front of Kemeko to protect her and started swinging Mr Swinger at the few Ninjas that still stood alive.
She slashed her claws and snarled and as she did so, along with her family, the Arden and Arashi clones backed off.
"Retreat!" Leonardo ordered as he looked at Kemeko who was pale in the face and in shock and he wanted to get her home as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, from a building not far away, Black Mamba had been watching the whole scene through her binoculars and she glared.
"Damn!" she snarled "I would have been easier if myself and the other V5 had been given the task!"
She watched as the remaining clones backed off and the Hamato clan started to back off as well as make their way back to the sewers.
"Damn…" she snarled "The master's will be disappointed!"
Whoa! So nail biting! Looks like the clones have hidden mutations! And One has given a hint to Kemeko about her past!
Will Kemeko speak of this to her family? Well, stayed tuned to find out!
