WARNING: Some rather violent and gory content appear in this chapter which some may find distressing.
Chapter Sixty-Five
Confronatations!
"So you survived the attacks from our last battle?" One of the ninjas asked as he stared down the turtles and Monalisa then they saw Sephie join them from the rooftop.
"That we did." Monalisa smirked "Can't say the same about Shredder though, can we?"
"Yeah! Bucket-head got toasted didn't he!?" Michelangelo joined in mockingly to which the Ninjas crouched and lowered their heads.
The Hamato Clan and Sephie couldn't see their facial reactions, but they could tell they were furious due to their body language.
"And so will you guys if you don't let Richard and Erica go!" Sephie shouted as she readied her bow.
The Ninjas glared and got closer to Richard and Erica who hugged each other in fear.
"Don't do it!" Sephie warned "Don't do it! You know what happened before!"
"They'd be fools if they don't listen!" Donatello muttered as he spun his bo staff.
The Ninjas nearest to Richard and Erica got ready to grab them until they suddenly got knocked down by Heather and Percy who appeared from above! Then battle cries were heard as Sarah, Kate, Jack, Amber, and Sharky appeared from the sides.
"Give it up!" Jack howled "Let them go! And you won't get seriously hurt!"
"You think you have a chance, freaks?" one of the ninjas shouted, "Where's that Dragon friend of yours?"
Sephie looked up then smirked at the ninja who had spoken, then there was a rushing of wings and a growl then the ninja was grabbed by his head and was pulled up struggling!
Everyone looked up and watched as they saw Tyroth appear, having grabbed the struggling ninja he squeezed around his head hard and it cracked like an egg making the ninja go limp in his grip!
Almost everyone winced at the sound but then they saw the dragon grab the dead ninja's shoulders then rip him in two making blood splatter everywhere!
Erica covered her eyes at that part, but the others watched with wide eyes.
"Fatality!" Michelangelo shouted.
"Jesus Christ!" Jack gulped then looked at Sarah "Thank fuck he's on our side."
Sarah only nodded in response as she tried not to be sick at the sight.
Meanwhile earlier, Hanako and Boss Kodama had watched the Ninjas chase down Erica and Richard as they escaped.
"They won't get far!" Hanako growled "My ninja can run a lot faster than those old beans! And they'll get them back!"
Boss Kodama smirked.
"They are reliable!" he said.
"How did they escape?" Hanako demanded as her smirk turned to a sneer, curious to know how Richard and Erica had escaped in the first place.
Boss Kodama was about to answer when the door opened, and Pandora appeared.
"Kodama!" she shouted as the Yakuza Boss turned around and saw her, as did Hanako.
As soon as the woman saw Pandora her eyes widened in shock.
"The Huntress…" she muttered under her breath.
Boss Kodama meanwhile glared as well as quickly reloaded his gun.
"What!?" he cried "You got out?"
"I told you; you shouldn't underestimate me!" Pandora snarled and brandished her tail blade "All of your goons including that disgusting abomination are dead!"
She then got ready to pounce and she leapt up towards him with her claws outstretched!
Boss Kodama glowered and held up his gun.
"See if you can dodge this!" he snarled then fired at Pandora who flinched as she saw the gun and just managed to get out of the line of fire, but the bullet still grazed her side!
Pandora shrieked in pain, but she jumped on top of Boss Kodama and pinned him to the bonnet of the car making him drop his gun!
At the same time, the Hybrid caught sight of Hanako standing behind the open car door.
"Hanako!" she cried then her eyes narrowed as she eyed the Japanese woman who Arashi called a lover with hateful daggers, yet she never let go of Boss Kodama who struggled under her grip and winced as he felt her sharp claws digging into his skin.
Hanako meanwhile leapt onto the top of the car and drew her blades.
"So, this is the Huntress I've been informed about?" she asked spinning her blades "Hmmm, not quite what I was expecting, but then again, I have seen a lot of things!"
Pandora said nothing but continued to glare hard at the woman who silenced her father and tried to kill her.
Meanwhile Boss Kodama struggled under Pandora's grip.
"Get off me!" he demanded yet each time he did he felt Pandora's claws dig into his skin through his suit.
Pandora glowered then she threw Kodama to the side sending him against a wall as she faced Hanako.
Boss Kodama winced as he was thrown aside, and he studied his wounds before looking up at Pandora.
"Little Bitch!" he muttered as he picked up his gun.
He was tempted to shoot her there and then, but as he saw Hanako get ready to fight the hybrid he decided to wait and watch and see where it led.
"How I've been wanting to face you!" the hybrid snarled as she looked up at the Japanese woman "You evil slag!"
Hanako got into a fighting stance.
"Oh, really now?" the Japanese woman smirked "You've been wanting to face me in a duel? Can't think of why, have we met before?"
Pandora gritted her teeth and clawed her hands.
"You almost killed my dad!" she spat then ran at Hanako slashing her claws.
At Once Hanako moved quickly and jumped off the bonnet of the car doing a somersault then turned to face Pandora who came at her again with her claws and tail blade, yet she dodged her moves as well as tried to stab with her swords.
"You tried to kill all my family!" Pandora screamed "You, your lover Arashi! Dr Arden, Shredder! You tried to kill them!"
She thrust her tail blade at Hanako, yet she blocked it by crossing her swords.
Hanako sneered then she cocked her head as she took a good look at Pandora.
"Wait a minute!" she said then she pushed Pandora's tail blade back with her swords.
She recalled the battle back at the Foot Headquarters before those strange mutant animals and the Dragon had arrived, and how she had faced Raphael and Pandora, the turtle with the sai, along with his crossbreed daughter who like the one before her had claws and a tail blade along with meator hammer and rope dart weapon, yet this one was absent.
She then remembered how she had stabbed the red masked turtle in the throat!
"You!" she cried "You're that red masked turtle's little brat!"
She smirked as she swiped her blade at Pandora, yet the hybrid ducked, but Hanako saw her chance to kick her backwards towards the bonnet of the car and Pandora felt her head hit the car hood and she saw stars for a moment.
"Ha!" Hanako smirked "Not so tough!" she walked over to Pandora who shook her head.
"Such a pity, for a daughter to see her parents hurt!" she cackled "If only I had managed to kill them properly!"
Boss Kodama smirked and stood up to go over, but Hanako turned to him and stopped him.
"This one's mine." She said then licked her lips as she went over to the dazed hybrid and held up her blade.
"Well, no matter, instead, I might just use you for bait to bring them to me! Then watch you suffer the guilt that you decided to be a stupid girl and go out on your own to fight a battle you couldn't win that you brought your family to me to be tortured and killed slowly!"
Pandora shook her head as she looked up at Hanako who reached down to grab her, yet just before she could, she stopped and touched her ear.
"What!?" she barked angrily having been interuppted, and Boss Kodama looked over at Hanako.
"Back up? Can't you handle two old idiots yourselves? What!?"
Boss Kodama glared then Hanako mouthed to him.
'The Dragon!' to which the Yakuza Boss looked horrified, and he took out his phone.
As Pandora saw Hanako's lips move, her heart leapt to her throat.
"Uncle Tyroth!" she thought then she heard the roar which was no doubt her powerful Dragon Uncle!
Seeing that Hanako and Boss Kodama were distracted, she decided to seize her chance to escape, and she moved to the side to run!
As she did, Hanako and Boss Kodama saw her!
"No!" Hanako shouted and Boss Kodama narrowed his eyes and fired his gun at the hybrid hoping to shoot her in the leg or arm so she couldn't flee, but Pandora leapt onto the roof of the warehouse and the bullet grazed past her right arm!
It was merely a graze, but a deal of flesh was torn, and the Hybrid cried out in pain, yet she grabbed the roof and leapt onto it before fleeing.
"Fuck!" Boss Kodama shouted as he watched Pandora escape and Hanako glared.
"Come on!" she said grabbing Boss Kodama's arm and they started to run after Pandora from the ground.
Back with the Hamato Clan and the Knights, Tyroth had dropped the torn up remains of the Ninja and landed on the ground to face the Ninjas.
As he did, the ninja started to back away, unsure of whether to fight or run after what had just happened.
Tyroth glared and snarled, his mana glowing around him, and Richard and Erica saw their chance to run towards Amber and Sephie who instantly got them to stand behind them.
"Thank Goodness you came!" Erica cried.
"What happened?" Amber asked.
"We'll get there later Amber!" Sephie reminded her sister-in-law to which Amber nodded and they both watched Tyroth facing the ninjas before him.
Tyroth took a breath yet as he did, a loud bang was heard, and he felt something rip through his wing!
He looked up distracted and he saw a Japanese man in a suit holding up a machine gun!
"What the fuck!?" he thought, then he looked around and saw several other Japanese men and women appear with similar guns along with many more Foot Ninja!
"Odin's beard!" he thought "It's Boss Kodama's assassins!"
He knew they would unleash fire any second and he knew he could take the bullets, but his friends wouldn't be so lucky, especially the Hamato Clan and his parents who couldn't use the well if they were hit!
The Rest of the Knights and the Hamato Clan saw the Assassins and ninja appear and went pale.
"Aww Shell! This isn't good!" Michelangelo said as he started to sweat, and he looked around for Kate who like him and everyone else was standing still and looking up at the gunmen ready to shoot their guns.
Monalisa glared.
"We're surrounded!" she muttered as she looked towards Raphael who looked back at her, he was glaring but he was sweating with worry.
Richard and Erica hugged each other close and Sephie turned to them.
"When I give the word, Run into that alleyway behind you!" she whispered.
"But Sephie…" Richard said,
"Just do it!" Sephie snapped "That's an order!"
"But…" Erica followed up.
"We can use the well if we get hit!" Amber hissed "But you can't! Just do as she says mum, dad!"
Reluctantly Richard and Erica agreed and got ready.
Tyroth meanwhile glared and bared his teeth as he tried to think about how to go about this, both to get everyone to safety and take on the gunmen.
"Think Tyroth…think!" he muttered, yet his heart was beating hard in his chest as he knew it was only a matter of seconds between whether he moved, or they moved…
Yeesh! That was pretty action packed and gory! Not quite what I was thinking I'd be writing at Christmas, but there we go!
And then we end on another cliffhanger! Dun Dun Dun!
