The brothers and the foot stared at each other, waiting to see who would make the next move.'
The Shredder voice haunted Yuuki to her very core "The time for games is at an end! No more charades!" The Shredder roared out. He pulled off his helmet revealing his face to them, Oroku Saki. The brothers armed themselves getting ready. "You see me as I am, it will be the last thing that you will ever see." He smirked, evilly.
Mikey whispered over to Donnie "Geez, someone loves the sound of their voice?" He replied sarcastically .
Saki put his helmet back on then raised his gauntlet pointing directly at them "Prepare to face your destiny and your doom!" Leonardo looked back over his shoulder to see her shaking frantically and breathing out of control. She was slowly losing her confidence.
"Well, he's your friend ,Leo." Donnie commented
"And he certainly have a strong sense of style. I mean outfit." Mikey replied
"Yeah, but something tells me he didn't get all dressed up for nothing. " Raph replied. Thunder struck, as rain began to pour down more heavier.
"Guys, we are in the fight for our lives." Leo replied seriously
"Foot ninja! Attack!" The Shredder roared out as he ordered. The ninjas charged at them "Destroy them!"
Yuuki felt someone push her out of the way "Don't just stand there move!" Raphael shouted as he pushed her out of the way from an ninja as they jumped bringing their sword down on her. Leo kicks one away. Donnie back flips knocking one clashes with the ninja holding the sword. He kicks them back Mikey faced three ninjas until he turned his head to see the Shredder walking towards Yuuki, completely frozen in fear. He quickly jumped over the ninjas and ran towards the Shredder swinging his nunchucks.
The Shredder grabs them not looking at him then flung Mikey aside sending him skidding to an edge of the roof. Donnie spinned his staff knocking away some ninjas until he saw the Shredders pursuit. He quickly jumped into the air bringing his staff Shredder kicked him sending him lying on his back. He gasps when He saw an ninja lunges for him in the air bringing their sword down on his face. Raph quickly blocks it with his sai stopping the sword inches away "Watch your back, brainiac!" Raph warned
"Isn't that what you're for Raph?" Donnie asked smugly. Raph knocked the sword out of the ninjas hands and punched them. He threw away the sword sending it flying into an generator. It exploded, setting off an large fire.
The Shredder continued his advance towards Yuuki, still paralyzed in fear. He raised his gauntlet bringing it down on her until Leo quickly jumped in and grabbed her rolling out of the way. He felt her trembling in his arms. He frowned in concern then looked up holding his kanata in one hand facing the Shredder, glaring at him.
Meanwhile in the lair, Splinter opened up the door to his dojo. He stepped out and looked around . He doesn't see the brothers and Yuuki around. It was quiet, too quiet.
He frowned in suspicion "They should've been back hours ago..." He muttered out loud.
He walked over Donnie's work station and picked up an note reading it. He puzzled in thought "Hm, what was the one thing that I told them not to do?" His eyes widen in realization "Face the Shredder!"
"I am sure that is what they have done!" He sees the remote for the Battle Shell on the table and grabbed it, just in case. Then walked towards the elevator
"I must find my family!"
The fight grew intense on the rooftops as the fire began to spread. Mikey kicked an ninja away but he gets kicked into more of them and they knocked him back, lying on the ground. Donnie walked up to him "Nice landing." He replied dryly
Raph saw the Shredder heading towards Leo and Yuuki and he leaped at him. The Shredder knocked him back kicking him. Leo tried to snap Yuuki out of her shock shaking her. Nothing. He gasps when He saw some foot ninjas surrounding them backing them into the edge. The fire spreaded even more, separating him from his brothers. His eyes widened as he saw the Shredder walk through it, completely untouched.
Leo growled (That is not normal! Nobody can survive that!)
He laughs evilly "I will finish you two first!" He raised his gauntlet at the two of them. But, the roof started to crumble giving away.
"What?!" The Shredder demanded . The fire completely engulfed everyone. Leo quickly picked Yuuki up carrying her bridal-style. He jumped off from the roof before it could reach them. Yuuki screamed as they fell. He sees an car and quickly flipped over on to his shell pulling Yuuki towards his plastron, protecting her. He bounced of and landed with a groan on the ground. They were both unharmed, little to worse. Donnie jumped off grabbing onto a streetlight before he slipped loosening his grip falling into the street. Raph jumped falling into an dumpster landing softly into piles of trash. The lid shuts protecting him from falling debris from the the roof. Donnie groaned as he held his head. He gasps as he saw Mikey struggling trying to push the huge piece of debris off of his leg "I can't take you anywhere, Mikey." He replied.
"Hey, I was trying to move but the building just jumped out and attacked me." Mikey answered innocently
"Let's get you out of there." Donnie used his staff to push it out of the way.
Mikey let out a groan in pain" Ow! I think I hurt my ankle! "
"Duh! Come on. I'll help you." Donnie replied. He helped him up supporting Mikey and over his shoulder. The walked away from the flaming building avoid some falling debris. They turned their heads back and let out a gasp in shock
"Uh-Oh."
" Oh, man."
They saw the Shredder emerge from the building entrance which was completely blocked off by fire, unscathed.
"Tell me that I'm not seeing what I'm think I'm seeing." Mikey whispered
" I wish I could Mikey. I wish I could." Donnie answered gravely
The foot ninjas gathered around around the Shredder waiting for orders. "Find the turtles and bring me Yoshi's can not be far. Do not allow them to escape!" Sirens could be heard in the distance. He lets out an growl in irritation "Foot ninja! Disappear! Report to me when you have found them. I want to finish them myself!" Shredder demanded. He and the foot ninjas disappear as the police arrived. The car door opened and Michael stepped out off it.
He frowned as he stared at the engulfed building in fire "Well, this brings back memories."
"Hopely, there was nobody in it this time." His partner answered "How's your daughter been doing?" They asked .
Michael made a soft smile "She's been hanging around her new friends alot lately, it's almost like she's never home. Her mom drives me crazy with her constant worrying. But, I'm sure Yuuki's fine."
Yuuki felt some one shaking her gently. She opened her eyes and saw Leo close to her face.
"Are you okay?" Leo asked
She felt tears began to burn her eyes and looked away covering her face with her hands "I'm a coward." She softly muttered as she cried.
"Splinter is right. I'm not ready."
She felt Leo pull her hands away from her face turning her head making her look at him. He wiped her tears away
"You're not a coward. It happens to anybody. " He replied "Besides you took out Hun no problem. I think that you have the makings of being a ninja." He smiled and winked at her. Yuuki felt her heart fluttered by his complement. Leo helped her up but she noticed he tensed up. "Leo, what's wro-?" Leo quickly covered her mouth with his hand telling her to be quiet. Her eyes widened when she saw two foot ninjas in front of them. Leo and Yuuki remained hidden in the shadows under a stairwell. They looked around until they ran away.
"We gotta find Raph, Mikey, and Donnie. We got to regroup." Leo replied
"We can't be much help if those guys find us first." Yuuki commented . She felt her hair being rustled as Leo rubbed it "Now that's being a ninja." She smiled
Leo and Yuuki vanished into the shadows, to find the others.
Foot Ninjas jumped from the rooftops. Raph peeked out from the dumpster "Man, if these foot goons don't finish me off, the stink of this dumpster will." He muttered silently. He climbed out with an banana peel stuck to his shoulder. He flicked it off in annoyance.
Donnie helped Mikey as they walked "Don, we need to go back. Mikey asked, worried
"I-I know but you're in no condition to fight, Mikey. Let's get your ankle wrapped up and then we'll start looking for the others." Donnie replied. He and Mikey stopped in an alley to rest. Let's text for an second. " Donnie explained. He looks up until he sees someone in the distance, the Shredder and some of his foot ninjas.
"Woah! It's the Shredder!"
" And some of his little friends! Look! " Mikey pointed out as more ninjas appeared at the other end of the alley. They look at each other then up to a staircase above them. Donnie held his hands out helping Mikey up before climbing up himself, escaping them.
The Shredder and the ninjas gathered "Nothing? Keep searching!"
Donnie looks down from an window that they climbed into before turning back towards Mikey. They were in a bathroom.
" My ankle is killing me! You better leave me here, I'll only slowing you down." Mikey replied
" Can the noise, Mikey. It's just a sprained ankle. We need to wrap it properly." Donnie replied while looking through the medicine cabinet. He saw no bandages. He turned around and saw some stockings hanging above Mikey on a shower curtain rack. He smiled and snapped his fingers taking them. Then wrapped it around Mikey's ankle.
Mikey saw a brush and picked it up"While you're doing that. I'll brush my long flowing locks. " He replies with an laugh.
Donnie looked at him with an blank face "Nice." He replied dryly.
They both a door creak open. Their eyes widen as the saw a little boy walk in rubbing his eyes. He sees them and his mouth dropped. Donnie put his finger to his lips shushing him while Mikey made a sheepish smile.
"Mom! Mom! There's two giant turtles in the bathroom! And one of them got your stockings! " He shouted out as he ran to get his mother. Donnie and Mikey both made a sheepish smile.
"See! mom! See!" He drags her into the bathroom, to find them both gone. She crossed her arms looking down at him and raised an eye "But,... they were there I swear."
Donnie and Mikey and hanged from a clothes line, watching.
Two ninjas appeared in an alley and one of them sniffed "Something around here really stinks."
"Don't look at me." The second one replied in denial
Hands reached out from behind, grabbing their heads smashing them together. Raph stepped out from the shadows.
He sniffed his armpits "I don't smell that bad,... do I?" He asked. He doesn't notice another pair of hands reaching out from the shadows and they grabbed him, pulling Raph in.
He struggled to get out of their grip until they mysteriously let go. He growled and turned around facing them. He looks in shock "Master Splinter!"
Splinter shushed him, to lower his voice "The others. We got split up." Raph explained
"Come we must find them." Splinter replied
Leo and Yuuki found themselves backed up against a wall as they were cornered by ninjas. Leo glared as they got closer. Neither of them could do anything in the tight space. A man in a trench coat jumped down in front of them facing the foot ninjas. He pulled out a sword. It started to illuminate in blue. Leo and Yuuki looked in shock at him.
Donnie and Mikey struggled to walk until two people appeared in front of them. Donnie quickly set Mikey down drawing his staff. He sees Raph and Splinter.
He lets out a sigh in relief " Am I glad to see you guys! "
"We heard you two miles away" Raph replied. He heard a groan and saw Mikey.
"Mikey are you okay?" He asked in concern
"I don't know if I can make it. Raph, is that you? The lights are turning out. It's all going dark. Tell Raph,...tell Raph." Mikey answered quickly
" I'm right here Mikey! I'm right here next to ya. " Raph assured
Mikey grinned "Tell Raph... that he's always been a big cheese head!" Raph frowned at him.
"Psych i can't believe that you tell for that! Oh, oh, the lights are turning out!" Mikey replied as he laughed.
"I'll turn your light's out for real wise guy. Raph warned, as he raised his fist to punch the turtle.
"Raphael, Michelangelo, quiet down. If we can hear you so could the foot ninja. We must move more quickly than this." Splinter scolded them
"We could always leave Mikey behind." Raph suggested that
"Hey!" Mikey yelled, offended
Donnie searches himself " I didn't bring the remote for the Battle Shell of I can get it-" Splinter pulled it out handing it to him "Here." Donnie grinned "Perfecto, sensei! Looks like we-" his face dropped when he sees an army of foot ninjas. "We're surrounded." Donnie replied nervously as he saw some more jumped down from behind .
Donnie pulled his staff "Master Splinter! Use the remote! Get the Battle Shell." He spins his staff jumping at the ninjas. Raph joined in to help him. Splinter tried a button, nothing happens. He wasn't exactly tech-savvy when it comes to technology. Back at the warehouse, the Battle Shell headlights came on and smoke came out the back. Splinter tried another button, confused. The Battle Shell backed up into some boxes. Splinter makes an annoyed look.
Raph kicks, disarming three ninjas. Splinter continued pressing buttons. The satellite dish comes out of the top and goes back in then back out then back in again. Splinter made an annoyed growl and pressed again. A missile cooked out get ready to launch until it stops and continued again then stops going back into the Battle Shell.
Getting tired and irritated , "Donatello here" Splinter hands Donnie the remote "I will fight you will drive." He jumps into the fight smacking ninjas left and right with his staff. " Activating remote." Donnie replied as he pressed the obviously big red button that was sitting dead center on it. The Battle Shell activates and started to drive to their location.
Splinter swings his staff finishing off the last ninja "Master Splinter! You kicked butt!" Raph commented as an ninja groaned out in pain.
Back at the cornered alley Leo and Yuuki stared at the man with the glowing sword, as they prepared for a fight. The man slices and slashed all of the foot ninjas weapons in front of them and defeated them. They both look in shock. He threw an ninja on the ground then sheathed his sword back into his trench coat.
"Okay, that's new." Leo commented
The man turned around and walked towards them. Leo held out an arm in front of Yuuki as he got closer.
"You're definitely a ninja but you're not one of them. " Leo replied. He looked nothing like the foot who were loyal to the Shredder.
"I am simply a guardian. Beyond that I cannot tell anything more." The man replied
"That's...pretty helpful." Leo raised an eye at him skeptically
"I am sorry but I cannot reveal everything to you now. Just know that you are caught up in a battle much more than you can imagine."
Yuuki raised an curious eye at the man. That was almost similar to what the Shredder had said. "" We had pretty much heard similar to Orockwho Socktea."
Leo gave her an look while the man made a small laugh "Oroku Saki." He corrected her. Yuuki blushed, embarrassed. Japanese names aren't exactly her strong suit yet, as she was still learning her heritage.
"Yes, it was only the truth, that the Shredder told you. But, know this... " The man takes a step closer "By rejecting The Shredder and his evil, you have made an ally today."
Yuuki let out a sigh in relief and Leo smiled putting away his swords. They stepped up to the man and shook his hand.
"Slow down, you drive too quickly." Splinter scolded from the back of the Battle Shell as it drove up to Leo and Yuuki "And that turn was too sharp."
"Master Splinter you've been backseat driving the whole way." Leo an Yuuki squinted their eyes at the bright headlights. The window rolled down. Donnie leaned his head out of it "Hey need a ride, you two? "
Leo and Yuuki smiled, glad to see him. Leo replied "Sure guys, we like to introduce you to the-" He gestured towards nothing. The man had mysteriously vanished.
"To the mystery ninja." Yuuki softly replied in wonder
Everyone piled in the back off the Battle Shell.
Yuuki felt arms wrapped around her tightly as Mikey hugged her "I'm glad to see that you're okay!" She hugged him back "Good to see you to Mikey."
"We were all pretty worried." Donnie replied
"Yes children, but now you are all safe." Splinter replied as he stepped up before he raises his hand and smacked them all in the cheeks.
Yuuki yelped holding her cheek in pain and began to tear up "Why?!" She shouted out
"Ow!" Mikey exclaimed
"Hey" Donnie replied as he rubbed his
"What was that for!" Raph exclaimed in pain
" For being so foolish!" Splinter snapped out as he scolded them.
"You should have tried to face the Shredder alone. He is too powerful." He explained .
"You're telling me. I've got bruises that got bruises." Donnie answered
"And did you see the way The Shredder walked right through that fire?" Leo asked, curious
"Yeah, it was like he was the shreddinator of somthing." Mikey replied in an German accent
"You have stirred the hornets nest. He will not rest until he finds us." Splinter replied
"What should we do, Master Splinter?" Leo asked. Master Splinter stays silent thinking until an idea popped into his mind. "Let him find us. I have long wished to avenge my Master Yoshi. Now is the time." He narrowed his eyes, seriously.
"But how do we let him find us?" Donnie questioned
"Sit still." Splinter simply answered
" I don't know Master Splinter. Sitting still isn't exactly one of our strong points. " Mikey commented. Splinter glared at him.
Mikey made a sheepish smile "Right, sitting still it is. I like sitting still. Sitting still is good!" He quickly answered nervously.
Splinter looked at Yuuki "And you. You will wait here in the car."
Yuuki mouth dropped, shocked "You can't bench me! I want to prove that I can do it! Please ...I know that I can. " She faltered.
"You will wait here until we come back." Splinter replied
Yuuki looked at each one of the brothers for help but they stared in silence.
"Let her do it, sensei." A voice answered . Everyone looked and saw that it was Leonardo.
"She can do it. I know that she can."
Splinter looked at him for a while before turning back towards Yuuki who was clasping her hands together giving him a puppy dog pout, staring at him with big eyes . Splinter let out an exasperated and placed an hand on his forehead
"Very well."
