Raphael groaned and he slowly opened his eyes. "Ugh, where am I?"
He squinted as he saw a bright light being shined on him. He tried to move but couldn't. He was strapped down to a table. He frowned (Well, this can't be good.) A machine with needles lowered down in front of him and started poking all over him "Hey watch where you're poking those things! When I get outta here, I'm gonna -"
A noticed a giant man walk up from behind, Hun. The head honcho of the Purple Dragons. He held up one of Raph's sai in front of the turtle, taunting him "This is some nice steel. How about you tell me who gave them to you?"
"Yo momma.~" Raphael retorted as he made a smug smirk. Hun threw the sai's both landing each side of Raphael's head.
He walked over and pulled them both out "I'm sorry I didn't quite hear you."
Then throws them onto a table and picked up the turtle's shell cell "You know I get a little clumsy with people who don't answer my questions." Then he crushed it with just two of his fingers with ease. Raphael noticed another one just as Hun picked his up and broke it. It was Yuuki's.
(Aw, shell,...Don't tell me they got her too!)
Raphael let out an angry growl "Where is she?"
Hun smirked "Who?"
"Don't play games with me! Where is SHE?!" Raphael shouted
Then, Raphael heard a door open. He glared as noticed the invisible ninjas they were holding someone, Yuuki. They dropped her onto the floor near Hun's feet. She fell with a thud, still unconscious. Raphael felt some relief leave his body knowing that she was okay, for now. But, they needed to get out of here. He needed to get the Hun's attention away from her.
Raphael noticed the giant purple dragon tattoo "Hey nice tat. Purple Dragon or some big ugly chicken?"
In a flash, Hun's face was in front of his as he grabbed Raphael's head and pulled the blinding light closer to him "Let's start with just exactly what kind of freak you are anyway?"
Back in the lair, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello were continuing their training with Splinter on the bamboo poles. Splinter noticed that something was off. He turned his head to see Leonardo staring off, which was unusual for his son to be distracted.
"Is something the matter, my son?" Splinter asked, concerned
Leonardo broke out of his trance to see his sensei staring at him.
He quickly answered "No, it's nothing, sensei."
(Why does he have the feeling that something is wrong?) Leonardo shook his head trying to shake it off.
"Don't sweat it, sensei. Leo's just bummed out because Yuuki left. He likes her!" Michelangelo replied as he grinned mischievously and laughed.
"I do not Mikey! She's a girl who just happened to be my friend, that's all." Leonardo quickly answered, stammering
"Yeah, your girlfriend.~" Donnie commented, smiling
"Focus on your training." Leonardo replied, sharply
Splinter raised an curious eyebrow, at what heard. This was news to him. Then turned his attention back towards the blue masked turtle. The realization hit him...his son was in love. His thoughts were cut short when someone entered the lair knocking down the poles along with him and the three brothers. They turned the lights back on to see that it was Casey, again.
"You can almost set your watch by this guy." Mikey replied, dryly
Leo helped him up "Casey, What happened?"
"Where is Raphael and Yuuki? " Splinter asked
"The invisible ninjas took em!" Casey exclaimed
Mikey and Donnie at each other "Invisible ninjas, huh?"
"This story wouldn't involve Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, by any chance?" Mikey replied in amusement
"I got proof!" Casey argued, then he pulled out the orange eye, that he knocked off one of them.
Donatello took it from him and studied it "Oh, some kind of optical device. Heavy duty hardware. "
Leo frowned as he used his shell cell "Raph and Yuuki aren't answering their shell cells."
"Ah!" Casey let out an angry yell. He picked up a stool and threw it in frustration "This is all my fault!"
"Don't worry. I installed tracking signals in the shell cells, just in case." Donnie explained then he noticed he wasn't getting anything "Interesting, not picking up a signal."
"Aah!" Casey kicked the couch, flipping it "We'll never find em! "
"I may be able to calibrate the scanner to trace the comm's signal from your invisible ninjas."
Mikey saw Casey break a wooden chair "Better make it fast. We're running out of furniture." Mikey murmured to Donnie.
"We've been over this again and again, freak. I'm only going to ask you this one more time. Who do you work for? How long you been on this planet? What is the level of your technology?" Hun demanded
"Planet? Technology? Boy, you're barking up the wrong shell." Raph replied
Hun smashed his fist in the table causing it to rock "Answer me!"
"Come to think of it. Who do you work for? I mean, you look way too dumb to be in charge of this." Raphael asked
Raphael and Hun heard a soft groan. They looked to see Yuuki slowly sitting holding her head.
"Look who decided to wake up." Hun smirked. He walked over to her.
Yuuki heard foot steps thudding as they got close and Raph yell out "Get away from her!"
She looked up and she gasped as saw the huge man from her dream. He grabbed her shirt and her up until she was face to face with him. Yuuki coughed and nearly gagged as she smelt cigarettes from his breath "My master's been expecting you. He asked us to bring you to him. But, what he didn't specify was how you were turned in. He wouldn't mind if I roughened you up a bit."
Yuuki's eyes widened in fear when she saw Hun smirked "Your old man's been given my men and me a hard time. Deliver this message to him."
Before she could react, she felt the wind being knocked out of her as Hun delivered a fierce punch directly to her stomach. Hun let go and she slumped to the floor coughing frantically trying to regain her breath. The world began to spin as she tried to sit up. Yuuki could her Raphael scream out something but she couldn't make it out as her ears began to ring. Then she felt something hard made in contact on her right eye and she fell to face forward onto the floor when Hun kicked her. She curled her body up into a ball to protect her self after oncoming blow after blow. What seemed like hours, Hun threw her and she skidded across the floor and slammed hard against the wall with her back. She felt herself began to drift in and out of consciousness as she saw Huns feet began to walk away heading towards Raphael.
Raphael let out an angry growl "You just made a big mistake!"
Hun looked at Raph "Big talk for someone's who's tied down." Then he walked over and grabbed the saw from the machine above his head "Your choice. You can talk or you can let the DNA do the talking for you. Now, is there something that you want to tell me?" Hun lowered the saw inching it closer to Raphael's face.
A voice shouted out "NO!"
Yuuki quickly jumped onto Hun's back biting his shoulder. "You little Spider monkey!" He slammed her against the wall hard making her slump to the floor. As, Hun was distracted Rapheal manged to free his arm out from his restraint
"Hey!" He called out. Hun turned around only to have a gas mask shoved into his face "Sweet dreams, lard butt!" He falls back, dazed. Raphael grabs the saw and cuts off the rest of his restraints, freeing himself.
He stops by the table and grabbed his sais and his and Yuuki's shell cells "Don will kill me if I leave these."
Then he quickly rushed over to Yuuki "He really did a number on you. You still with me?"
"Did I win?" Yuuki asked she groaned out
"Hang on, we're getting out of here." Raphael picked her up carrying her behind his shell. He burst through the door to see that they were on a boat, with the city not to far off within the distance.
Raphael walked to the edge of the boat looking at the water "Good thing turtles are amphibious."
He looked over his shoulder at Yuuki "Can you hold your breath?"
"I'll try." Yuuki groaned as she answered
"Hang on tight." Raphael replied
Stockman, who was watching the interrogation the entire time, scolded "You fool! I was this close to obtaining a DNA sample and you let him escape, with the girl nonetheless! He is going to have both of our hides! "
Hun makes a spy smirk "Precisely I let them escape. To lead us to the others. Even as we speak, a squad of foot tech ninjas, are trailing the creature and the girl. So now it's so it's up to your invisible boys. Better hope that they don't blow it."
Meanwhile, back at the lair. Donnie gets a blip on his scanner "I'm getting a signal it's Raph and Yuuki! "
"Wahoo!" Casey shouted happily but also broke a lamp in the process.
"This guy's bad news even when there's good news." Mikey whispered to Leo
"It's faint but at least we've got a blip that we can follow." Donnie explained until he noticed a few more were trailing behind the other two "Make that several blips."
"The invisible ninjas signals?" Leonardo guessed
"Raphael and Yuuki may not even be aware that they're being followed." Splinter replied
"Which means we've got to find them before they bring in some seriously unwanted house guests." Leo ordered
Mikey looks at Casey "We already got one of those."
"So, uh, how do we stop something we can't see?" Casey asked, curious
Donnie pulled out some goggles "Already got that one covered: turtles vision heat sensor goggles. After all, an invisible body is still a warm body. " He handed them out to Leonardo, Mikey, and Casey, putting them on.
Mikey looks over at Casey who was wearing the goggles over his hockey mask "That's a good look for you."
"Let's go."
( Hang in there just a little longer. We're coming.)
Raphael carried Yuuki and he stopped in an area with an big whirlpool in the center of it. He walked over to the wall setting her down to rest.
"You still with me?" He asked
Before she could answer, Raph noticed Leo and Donnie "Hey! Huh?"
The shouted "Banzai!" as they landed in front of him and started fighting.
Raphael looked at the confused "Uh, guys what are you?"
"Ever heard the one about the invisible ninjas?" Donnie called out. Then an ninja grabbed Leo and threw him over Raphael, landing on his shell.
Casey leaned down by the there's head "Hey did I mentioned that these guys were really strong too?"
Leo groaned in pain "Ugh, might've been some useful info." As he got up, he, Donnie, Mikey, and Casey saw Rapheal fighting the ninjas but to no avail.
Raphael let out an irritated growl "Come on! Show yourself! Where are ya you lousy-!" But he was cut off by a punch, and was left feeling dazed.
"Uh, think we should give him a hand?" Mikey suggested. The three brothers and Casey jumped in.
Casey pulled out his hockey stick and striked a pile of dirt near his feet "Fore!" which landed on two ninjas near Raph. He could now see them.
Raphael smirked "Ah, much better." He kicked the two ninjas as they tried to grab him sending them flying, lying on their backs.
"Now you see em" Mikey grinned as he hit two ninjas "Now you don't. "
"Their cloaking controls should be somewhere around their chest plate." Donnie informed
"You mean here?" Leo slashed two of the ninja's chest plates revealing themselves and Donnie swung his staff taking both of them out.
" Can I call em or what?" Donnie gloated
Raphael twirled his sais "So I guess that's that?"
They heard Casey yell and looked up to see him being hung over the giant whirlpool by a invisible ninja "Drop your weapons and surrender."
Leo narrowed his eyes until see he saw that they were surrounded "My grip is loosening. I suggest you drop your weapons. Now. "
"Don't do it! Guys I'm not worth it!" Casey called out
" You know he's got a point? " Donnie commented
"Drop your weapons." Leo replied, firmly
Donnie looks at him "What?"
"I said, drop YOUR weapons." Leo ordered
The brothers threw their down in front of them. Then suddenly a realization hit Raphael. He turned his head to see that Yuuki had vanished. During fight, he had completely forgotten about her. He looked around until he spotted her above the ninja holding Casey tryin to walk across on a pipe. He nudged Mikey signaling him to look up. He and Donnie looked staying silent.
"Where is the girl?" The ninja holding Casey asked
Yuuki weaved and wobbled nearly losing her balance. She took in small breaths trying to calm herself down stabilizing herself. She remembered Splinter's advice "The way of balance and the way of invisibility." She can do this...
"I won't repeat myself. Where is she?" The ninja replied growing impatient
A shout called out from behind him "Right here!" Yuuki jumped down landing into the ninja knocking him down along Casey.
Donnie hits a ninja out of his and makes a quick grab for his staff. Casey reached out in time and caught it as the ninja falls into the whirlpool. He flings Casey over him and he pulled out his baseball bats and he and the brothers knocked the other ninjas into the whirlpool.
"Uh, can someone get me down?" Yuuki asked as she clings onto the pipe above them.
Leo held his arms out to her "Jump I'll catch you. " She leaped and landed into his arms
"Thanks i owe you one." Casey, thanked
"We take cash, personal checks, and most major credit cards." Mikey joked
Casey stretched his arms out into the air "Man, I'm beat maybe I should crash at you guys place tonight?" The brothers looked at him horrified .
"No!" Leonardo said quickly "I mean nothing beats the comfort of sleeping in your own bed. "
"We'll give you a ride and have you home in no time." Donnie suggested
"We'll carry you up the stairs, tuck you in. Heck, we'll even read you a bed time story." Mikey replied
Yuuki laughed "You guys are so funny." As Donnie, Raph and Mikey led Casey away walking to the Battle shell to take him home.
Yuuki looked at Leo "Hey."
"Hey." Leo replied awkwardly
She smiled and replied softly "Thanks you know. For the rescue."
He quickly answered "It was no problem. It was noth-" then paused when he saw her covering her right eye "Why are you covering your eye?"
"It's nothing! Really! Just a little mishap!" Yuuki answered quickly
Silently, Leonardo took her wrist moving her hand away. He gasped when he saw a bruise a forming around it and was starting to swell. Anger began to cloud his thoughts.
He shouted furiously "You call this little?!"
"It's fine really. The worst part's over. Let's just go home." Yuuki replied
He reached out and gently touched it. Yuuki hissed in pain as he did "You need to put some ice on that."
Yuuki felt anger full her entire body and she slapped his hand away from her face "Stop babying me! I'm not a baby! I swear, you're no different than my parents and everyone else! I'm sick of it! I'm not helpless! I'm tired as being treated as such!"
Leo's eyes widen as he looked at her with disbelief shocked by her sudden outburst and stammered "Yuuki, I-...I never said that you were."
Yuuki let out a tired sigh "Let's just go."
Leonardo watch as she walked away and let out an exasperated sigh. He just doesn't understand girls. Then followed after, piling into the Battle Shell.
Back at the foot headquarters, Stockman, Hun, and the Japanese man spoke in front of a line of foot tech ninjas "Another operation marred by the sickening stench of defeat. No doubts that you are both well aware of my extremely limited tolerance of failure!" The man exclaimed, angrily
Stockman gestured to Hun "It was his fault, this bumbling oaf let them escape!" He accused.
Quick as lighting, Stockman was grabbed by the man "The plan was sound! And get it was your creations who failed to, how did you put it, "Deliver the goods?" He growls then threw the man towards two foot tech ninjas and gestured. They began dragging him out of the room.
"Wait where are you taking me?!" Stockman, demanded
Hun makes a smirk as they dragged him out of the room "Take your hands off of me! I am your creator!"
The Japanese man turn his attention towards Hun "What did you learn from your interrogation?"
"I've worked over a lot of tough guys in my day, but I'm telling you, these turtles never even heard of your enemies, let alone worked for them." Hun explained
"Hmm, then perhaps they can be useful to me when the time comes to confront those enemies."
In a black room with white lights, a black circle with a white outline is in the middle of the room, and three purple seats are on the far end of it. In those seats, seated three people with abnormal light blue hair. A man in a trench coat approached them walking into the lighted circle.
Masters, it is true. Our enemy has discovered our presence in this city." The man replied
One spoke "And what of- "
The second one spoke "The four-"
Then the third one finished and asked "Creatures and Yoshi's daughter?"
"Still an unknown factor. We need more information." The man replied
" Learn all you can about them. "
"If they pose no threat-"
"Do not engage them."
" But, if they are in the employ of our enemy-"
"Take the necessary steps."
The three of them all said at once "Neutralize them."
The man bowed and walked away, silently, said nothing.
