A moment later.
After Raph, Louie and Casey had reached to the topside, the turtles in red and black and their vigilante friend immediately climbed up to the rooftops to have some fun in there
Once there, the trio engaged each other into the race across the rooftops, while showing off the daredevil leaps and flips over the gaps between the buildings. Even though Casey wasn't a ninja as Raph and Louie, he was surprisingly capable to keep up with the turtles and even execute some acrobatic flips by himself.
However, while racing, the trio was not above of a new round of trash talk to each other.
"Amateurs!" Casey shot to Raph and Louie.
"Clown!" Louie shot back.
"Nimrod!" Raph shot back as well.
"Lightweights!" Casey countered.
"Gack-face!" Raph countered back.
"Pinhead!" Louie countered as well.
"Scrawny white Bob!" Raph shot again to Casey.
"Slowpokes" Casey shot back.
"Scar-face!" Louie shot back to Casey.
As the trio of best buddies kept racing, Casey managed to somehow take the lead by getting a one rooftop ahead of Raph and Louie, despite the turtles' in red and black's superior skills. Casey also picked up his pace, unwilling to lose his leading place and driven by his eagerness to boast his victory to the ninja turtle's faces.
However, after landing to the next rooftop, Casey halted instantly after landing he heard something that was coming from nearby.
"Huh?" the hockey-masked man muttered, looking around as he attempted to locate the source of the sound.
Louie then hopped onto the same rooftop next to Casey.
"Hey, Casey! Why did you stop? This isn't even 'Finish' line yet." Louie asked, a bit confused of Casey's sudden stop in middle of the race and behavior.
"Shh! You hear that?" Casey said.
Louie, initially confused of what Casey was talking about, suddenly started to hear a faint yet still audible hissing sound coming from nearby. Without saying the word, the turtle in black turned back to Casey and, with the suspicious frown on his face, nodded to him in confirmation that he indeed did hear something.
"Hey, guys! What's up?! The race doesn't even end here!" Raph, who had fallen behind of the two, suddenly said as he landed next to Louie.
"Spray painting." Casey said shortly after Raph joined them.
The turtle in red failed to get the clue of what Casey had just said.
"Spray painting? What kind of lame trash-talk is that?" Raph questioned confusedly, thinking that what Casey had just said was just another word of the trash-talk... though a pretty lame one he'd ever heard.
"You dope! That isn't a trash-talk at all! I think what Casey meant was that someone's spray-painting somewhere nearby." Louie said, hearing exactly what Casey heard.
"Exactly!" Casey said to the turtle in black. "And it's coming from down there."
The turtles and Casey looked down from the roof they were on, and much to their surprise, they saw six members of Purple Dragons in the alley, whom were their old buddies from the last encounter back at the Central Park a few weeks back: Blue-head, Cap-head, Blue-face, Shortie, Fatso(Two Ton) and Redhead (Spike).
While Blue-head, Fatso and Cap-head were in the watch, Shortie, Redhead and Blue-face were making with the paint sprayer an another purple-colored tag of a purple Eastern-styled dragon that was devouring eight turtles, just like in one of the tags in Casey's pictures.
"Why, why, why. If it isn't our old pals, the Purple Dragons... the dumbest lowlife of the underworld." Louie said with the smirk. "Though I thought those slime-balls were in the police custody after our last encounter back in the Central Park."
"Well, they're not anymore." Raph said in the matter of fact.
"And it looks like those scum are making another one of their "bait cheeses" for you, guys." Casey said.
"Yeah! Except of two things. One: they're lacking mouse traps and the big ones. And two: we're turtles - plus one maniac - and not the mice." Raph sarcastically commented.
"Yeah! Whatever." Casey shrugged, before the vigilante came up with something. "Whatta perfect opportunity to teach those pussies a lesson. What you say, guys? Who's on the good old spanking?"
"I'M ON IT!" Louie suddenly exclaimed as he unexpectedly jumped first off the roof without waiting for the others and fell towards the Fatso, Blue-head and Cap-head.
Louie executed a surprising split-kick to the backs of two thugs', Fatso and Blue-face, knocking them off their feet to the ground before landing himself on his feet, afterwards the turtle in black spun around and swept the legs from under of the Cap-head, making him fall over with the surprised yelp.
All three beaten thugs' groans in pain caught the rest of the Purple Dragons' attentions and they instantly turned around to see what was going on behind of their backs... only to see Louie standing victoriously over of their downed comrades.
"Hello, boys!" Louie greeted with the smug grin. "On the loose on the streets again, eh?"
Soon after, Raph and Casey joined him, and the Dragons stared at them with the surprised looks on their faces.
"Evening or good late evening, boys! We're the Neighborhood Clean and Green. Doing our part to stamp out taggers." Raph said jokingly to the Dragons.
The Dragons, at least the ones who were still on their feet, instantly grabbed to their weapons and prepared themselves for the brawl. Redhead got the pair of baseball bats, the Shortie got the chain and the Cap-head, whom had already recovered and got back to his feet far quicker than what his other two comrades were, squeezed his hands into a fists.
Shortie charged at Raph, swinging his chain towards his head. But Raph easily dodged his attack before the turtle in red kicked the thug in the chest and sent him flying aside.
"Dude, you're totally stealing my act!" Casey complained, personally offended by the fact that the Redhead was mimicking his fighting style with the pair of baseball bats. The thug ignored this and attacked Casey, and the brutal duel broke between of vigilante and the thug.
While Casey and Redhead were exchanging the blows of the bats with each other and Raph was dueling with the Cap-head, Blue-head thug sneaked away from the fight and hid behind a nearby dumpster, where he pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number to call someone.
"We got two of them! Send the pick-up team to our sector." the thug whispered to someone, till he spotted someone standing next to him.
"Peek-a-boo! I found you!" Louie said in sing-song tone, before the turtle in black forcefully grabbed him from his sweater and picked him up, making him to drop the phone to the ground.
"Hey! Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Let go of me! Put me down!" Blue-head pleaded as he was lifted bodily off the ground by Louie.
"Sure, no problem." the turtle in black said and threw the thug hard against the wall.
"AGH!" the thug groaned, before he fell off the wall to the ground.
Casey was still struggling with the Redhead. The vigilante and the thug had locked their bats together after Casey had blocked with his bat the Redhead's own when he had attempted to smash his head with it. However, Casey managed to defeat Redhead with the kick to his stomach, sending him over to the ground.
Fatso, meanwhile, had recovered and was attacking Louie again with the angry yell. He swung his large club at the turtle in black, but Louie ducked it from under of the swing before he swiftly spun around and back-flip kicked the big fat thug with his left foot to the face, sending him to the ground.
The last one, Cap-head, attempted to attack Raph with the bare fists, but Raph managed to beat him easily by spinning around and kicking the thug with his right foot, sending him flying on top of the pile of other battered thugs.
Raph, Louie and Casey stood victorious over the pile of defeated thugs.
"That felt good." Raph said as the turtle in red lifted his leg on the pile.
"Piece of cake." Casey commented happily.
However, Louie happened to spot something on the rooftops at the other side of the street. The turtle in black narrowed his eyes at the sight of the three ominous-looking figures, whom were ominously staring down on them, standing on the edges of the rooftops.
"Don't be so sure, guys. Blue-head with the phone just called for backup." the turtle in black said as he pointed at the figures he spotted.
"And here it comes" he added, as the figures leaped off the rooftops they were standing on and landed right to the entrance of the alley, blocking the escape route from the trio.
Casey was completely astonished by the recent stunt of these new adversaries, because the distance between the entrance to this alley and the roofs of the buildings on the opposite side of this street was far too long for a HUMAN to jump over like that.
"Wow! Did he... Did he just... Did he just jump all the way here from the roof of the building on the opposite street?!" Casey said puzzled. "Those things definitely aren't humans!"
Raph merely scoffed that fact while spinning a Sai in his hand. "Well, in case you haven't noticed, neither am I and Louie."
Louie took an observing glance at these new guys. Luckily for them, the moon shot its lights into the alley, revealing to the trio this new trio's appearances and identities to them.
They were ninjas! But they looked a lot different than the ones from their previous encounters.
However, it didn't require more than one glance at the symbols on the buttons in their belts to convince Louie of who these guys were with.
"Raph? I think that we just happened to run into our old ninja-buddies again." Louie informed. "Though in a lot of new-styled suits."
"I can see that clearly myself, bro." Raph said dismissively.
"Ninjas? There's more ninjas in this town than just you? And you even know these guys?" Casey questioned, apparently never having realized that the turtles weren't the only ninjas in the town.
"Yeah. We kinda have crossed paths with these bozos a few times in the past, though our knowledge of these guys is still highly limited." Raph explained shortly.
"Then, let's take these clowns out and then let's ask some questions from them." Louie suggested.
Raph and Casey agreed with Louie, before the trio charged towards the ninjas.
However, before they could reach to these ninjas, they raised their hands over the symbol-branded buttons, which was followed by three "clicks" as they pressed them down. And in the flash, much to Casey's, Louie's and Raph's surprise, the ninjas vanished from the sight like ash into the air.
The trio halted their charge instantly and looked around, surprised and confused by their disappearing act.
"Whoa! What was that?!" Louie exclaimed in surprise.
"Where'd they go?" Casey asked.
Suddenly, each one of the trio felt an unseen force hitting them in the faces or chests from the empty air, as if they'd just been punched by someone. The force of the blows was enough to send all three of them flying to the end of the alley, till the trio landed on their backs or sides next to the scaffolding.
Groaning in pain, the turtles and Casey slowly rose up on their feet from the ground.
"Man! What exactly hit us? I didn't see anyone giving me a left hook to the chin... and a pretty hard one." Louie said, as he rubbed his sore chin with his hand.
"They must have some kind of, what do you call it, cloaking devices." Raph guessed.
"Cloaking device? What are they, Klingons?" Casey guessed, as he rubbed his left shoulder.
"Whatever chameleon-men these guys are, they better show up and..." Louie said, and he walked with confidence towards the alley's entrance.
However, it was quickly cut short as the invisible force struck him hard to the face again, making his head fly backwards from the impact. Then the same force struck him again and this time to the stomach, causing Louie to gasp in pain and bent over, holding from his sore stomach with his arms. However, before he could fall on his knees in pain, Louie felt then invisible uppercut punch striking him in the chest and the force of the invisible blow actually sent the turtle in black flying across the air till he hit against the wall and proceed to fall on his shell-back to the ground.
"OW! DAMN! That hurt!" he whined, remaining to lie there while moaning in pain.
Raph then noticed one of these invisible ninjas walking through a few puddles of water, leaving wet footprints to the ground, as the ninja headed towards downed Louie, who was at the moment incapable to defend himself.
The turtle in red leapt at the invisible enemy to tackle him in defense of his brother, only to be captured by the invisible ninja. Raph, while slightly surprised that the ninja didn't even budge from his forceful attempt to tackle him with his weight, remained to float in the air while struggling against his invisible captor.
"NGGGHHH! LET GO OF ME, YOU CHAMELEON-MAN!" Raph groaned as he tried to get free.
Casey, spotting a few of the Dragons' spray paints lying aside in the ground and seeing the opportunity, rushed to the sprayers, picked up one and sprayed the purple paint to the empty air in front of Raph. The sprayed purple pain instantly covered the ninja's right arm and part of his head, revealing his presence.
The ninja was momentarily confused of this counter-attack, allowing Casey time to charge at him and hit the ninja really hard with his hockey stick, causing him to drop Raph and step backwards from the impact. The strike also caused the ninja's left orange eye device to fall off.
Right after that, fully recovered Louie leaped over Casey and towards the ninja, delivering the direct kick to the ninja's still invisible chest, which sent him flying over to the ground.
"Think twice before you start mess with the turtle, pal!" Louie snarled, as he picked up the trash can's cover with his right hand to use it as his shield against their invisible attackers.
"Louie! There's one behind of you!" Casey shouted as a warning, after seeing one of their invisible attackers walking through of the puddles and leaving behind to the ground out of nowhere appearing wet footprints as he headed towards Louie from behind.
Louie turned around and dived down on all fours to the ground out of instincts, feeling afterwards the faint gust of cold wind right above of the back of his head and neck, hinting that the ninja had either attempted (and failed) to swing his sword to cut him from the waist, or then he had attempted to either lay a punch or a spin-kick on him.
After his invisible adversary's failed attack, the turtle in black swung his right leg towards the puddles in attempt to sweep the legs off from under of the invisible ninja. However, his leg didn't hit anything. The ninja had most likely anticipated such of counter-attack incoming and jumped off the ground to avoid it.
However, Louie had anticipated this as well and jumped off the ground, swinging the trash can's cover in the manner of uppercut punch upwards with all his strength. This time, he felt that he actually hit something in the empty air. Right after, a couple of trash cans nearby fell loudly over to the ground on their own like something had just crashed into them.
"Raph! Casey! I think I got... UGH!" Louie exclaimed, till he was cut short again as he felt someone kicking him from behind, sending him flying on his stomach to the puddle, making the water splash beneath of his body.
"Louie!" Raph exclaimed and attempted to stood up and go to help his brother.
However, the same ninja partially covered by the purple paint charged at him from out of nowhere. He squeezed his paint-covered hand into a fist and then struck Raph to the guts hard enough to force the wind out of him, making the turtle in red gasp in pain from impact. Gritting his teeth in pain, Raph fell into his knees to the ground, holding from his sore stomach with his hand while gasping for air.
"HEY! DUDE! YOU WANNA MORE?! COME GET SOME!" Casey shouted at the partially invisible ninja, pointing his hockey stick at him.
Forgetting Raph for a moment, the ninja moved towards Casey to knock the lights out of him too.
Casey attempted to whack ninja with his hockey stick again, but it suddenly snapped off from the impact as the ninja blocked it with his paint-covered arm.
Casey looked at his broken stick, taken aback by these ninjas' superhuman-like durability and strength, before the vigilante turned back to the ninja.
"Uh oh!" he gulped, realizing to be both in trouble and defenseless before of these invisible attackers.
And soon, before Casey, Raph and Louie could do anything more to defend themselves, the invisible ninjas knocked all three of them a pretty hard again, sending them flying into the scaffolding and causing it to collapse onto them right after, knocking them all out.
Partially buried under the collapsed scaffolding along with now unconscious Raph and Casey, Louie weakly lifted his head slightly up and saw through his fuzzy eyes the ninjas reappear from out of nowhere in front of them, looking down on them menacingly.
Louie was starting to lose his own consciousness totally, as the ninjas approached them.
"Damn... chameleon men." he mumbled, before his sight blackened totally as he collapsed to the ground out cold.
The three victorious Foot Tech Ninjas then knelt down and pulled both Raph, Louie and Casey from under of the debris, before starting to drag them out of the alley. One ninja dragged both Raph and Louie by their arms while the second took Raph's and Louie's possessions - Sais, Butterfly Swords, Manriki-Gusaris and Shell Cells - and the third ninja, the one partially covered by the spray paint and missing the left eye, dragged Casey by his arm.
"Targets apprehended." ninja 1 said pridefully.
"But what about this one?" ninja 3 asked, dropping Casey down.
"What about him?" ninja 2 said, turning to ninja 3.
"Well... he saw us and knows about us, which makes him a witness. Maybe we should kill him so that there will be no witnesses." the ninja 3 suggested.
"Ahem?" someone cleared his throat behind of the ninjas' back, making all three to turn around to see who it was.
It was all six Purple Dragons, Blue-Head, Shortie, Red-Head, Cap-head, Blue-face and Fatso, standing in front of them.
"If you ninja-boys don't mind, we'll have him for you." the Red-head said. "It's time for the long-awaited payback."
The three ninjas exchanged the considering glances with each other, before they turned back to the street thugs.
"Deal." ninja 1 said, before he lifted Raph over his shoulder. The ninja 3 then came from behind and picked up Louie, lifting the turtle in black over his shoulder.
"Do whatever you want with him." ninja 1 said to the street thugs as he and his comrades walked away with Raph and Louie.
"With the pleasure." the Red-head said coldly, as he and his comrades walked over to Casey and surrounded him.
"Ugh..." Casey moaned, as he was starting to stir awake from his unconsciousness, only to see through of his fuzzy eyesight the figures of the Purple Dragons standing over him, melee weapons in hands.
"You're awake, vigilante-boy? Good." the Red-head snarled. "Now we can put you back to sleep... permanently!"
The Purple Dragons then raised their weapons - Red-head with the pair of baseball bats, Blue-head with the chains, Shortie with the crowbar, Fatso with the wooden club, Cap-head with the metal pipe and the Blue-face with his bare fists - over their heads. And shortly afterwards the alley was filled with the sounds of beating and grunts in pain as the Dragons began beating up Casey, with the intention to beat him to death as revenge for the month of interfering their businesses.
###
Mich later, in the unknown location, Raph was starting to slowly stir awake. The turtle in red was still a bit dizzy from the pretty hard wallop he received from those ninjas and he also found his eye-sight a bit fuzzy. Raph then shook his head to get both his head and the eye-sight clear.
"Ugh! My head!" Raph moaned.
However, when Raph attempted to move one of his hands over his head, he both felt and realized that something was holding his arm still, preventing him from moving his hand. The turtle in red soon realized that he couldn't move any of his limbs, neither himself.
Raph then leaned his head downwards to see that what was holding him.
"Whatta?!" the turtle in red exclaimed, snapping fully awake when he realized that he was strapped to an operating table.
Raph attempted for a couple times struggle against the restrains tied over of his chest, thighs, ankles and wrists to free himself, but they were tied too tight so that they could both hold him still and prevent him from escaping.
Raph then lifted his head up and looked around to see where he was, but all what he could see was the darkness and nothing else.
"What is this place?" Raph asked from no one.
"Ugh! Shell!" Raph suddenly heard somebody moaning next to him.
Raph turned his head to the left and saw Louie, strapped to an operating table next to his as well.
The turtle in black was starting to wake up as well, shaking his head to get it clear from all the dizziness.
"Louie? Bro? You still with me?" Raph said to his brother in order to get his attention.
"Raph? Where...?" Louie asked, still a bit groggy.
"I'm here, bro. Are you alright?" Raph asked with concern. That was the soft and caring side of the Raph, what the turtle in red rarely showed.
"Well, what do you think, bro? No. Not at all. Feels still like I've been struck with the sledge-hammer to the head or something." Louie groggily replied.
Louie then turned his attention to the restrains that tied him and Raph to the operating tables, including to the strange room's darkness.
"Where the shell are we?" the turtle in black asked, turning to Raph.
"How should I know, bro? I have no idea where we are." Raph replied back.
Both Raph and Louie eyed the dark space around of them.
"Funny. This ironically reminds me one of those old detective movies where the private eye wakes up after being knocked out cold, just like we were a moment ago. They always end up saying that same "Where am I?" line when they find themselves tied up in some totally strange place. Don't you think?" Louie said.
"Definitely. Maybe not exactly original, but it's true." Raph replied. "Judging by these operating tables we're tied on, this place might be operating room like in the hospitals... or maybe even the torture chamber in the bad guy's secret hideout."
"Or maybe even an interrogation room or something." Louie suggested.
"Don't be daft, bro. They do not use the operating tables to interrogate people." Raph said, denying Louie's guess. "What do you think, Casey?" the turtle in red then asked from Casey, expecting him to be in the same room with them.
However, there was no answer from Casey, but it didn't take long from the trapped turtles to realize that Casey was nowhere to be found.
"Hey! Where's Casey?" Louie asked, seeing their vigilant-buddy nowhere.
"What they have done to him?!" Raph asked with growing anger and worry.
"I hope that he's okay. He's too thickheaded and stubborn to be taken down." Louie said, trying to assure himself that Casey was okay and had escaped the capture.
Suddenly, A bright light turned on in front of Raph's and Louie's faces, blinding them both momentarily.
"WHATTA?!" both turtles exclaimed in surprise, as they closed their eyes out of instincts and turned their heads away from the light.
And then, that was followed by the echoing voice... ominously familiar voice.
"Greetings, you abominable freaks! We'll meet again." the voice said through of speaker.
The turtles' heads jumped upright right after recognizing the voice's owner.
The turtles even managed to locate the voice's source. It came from the control room on the right side of the room.
And there, behind of the room's big wide window-screen, was standing all too familiar-looking person from the past.
"BAXTER STOCKMAN!" the turtles exclaimed in surprise.
"In the flesh... so to speak." Stockman said with the smug grin.
Both the turtles, especially Raph, weren't happy to see their old enemy again.
However, observing Stockman a bit carefully, Louie spotted something physically different in the doc.
"Oh, shell! Look at you, doc! I wouldn't say "in the flesh" totally if I were you, because you're noticeably missing a part of yourself." the turtle in black stated, surprised of Stockman's scarred face and the missing left eye, but also slightly taunting him for it, much to Stockman's irritation.
Raph too noticed Stockman's hideous injuries in his face.
"Ha! Yeah! Hey, doc! You're quite in a wrong territory 'cause wicked scars and missing eyes don't belong to the geeks. Or did that injury came from the explosion of your army of Mouser-cockroaches back in Stocktronics, doc?" Raph asked mockingly.
Stockman glared at the turtles with the enraged, scornful and yet vengeful glare.
"SILENCE, YOU IMBECILIC SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE FREAKS!" Stockman snapped sharply, banging his hands hard onto the control tables, before the one-eyed doc pointed at his missing eye with his finger. "THIS DAMAGE CAME RIGHT AFTER THE DESTRUCTION OF STOCKTRONICS, THANKS TO YOU!"
"You're welcome." Louie coolly replied.
"Yeah, whatever!" Raph said, dismissing the first topic before moving to the next one. "Now, you seem to be behind of all of this, again, aren't you, Stockman? So what you're up to this time, you one-eyed whacko?!" Raph demanded, wanting to know the reason to all of this.
Stockman then created a sadistic grin on his lips and began to tent his fingers.
"Oh, let us say that all of this... is just all about the sweet revenge." Stockman sadistically explained. "My partner will ask you some questions at first, before I'll began to search the answers to the questions of my own by dissecting both of you... piece by piece."
Stockman then activated some robotic arms with the pair of needles, that instantly started poking both of them numerous times.
Both the turtles felt uncomfortable of being poked by them all around of their bodies.
"Hey! Hey! Watch where you're poking those things!" Raph shouted.
"That is extremely unwanted harassing!" Louie commented.
Stockman chuckled at the turtles' discomfort.
"Tickling, aren't they? Don't you two worry. That is just beginning of your discomfort. Soon it will switch into a lots of pain. MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAA!" Stockman taunted, as he let out the malicious laugh.
Both the turtles glared at the one-eyed doc with a vengeful glare.
"Go ahead and laugh as long as you still can, Stockman, but once I get outta here, I'm gonna totally kill you this time!" Raph vowed with threatening voice.
"Big words coming from you, freak." said another deeper-toned voice behind of Raph and Louie.
Raph and Louie turned their heads to the right, and saw Hun appearing from the room's darkness next to them. He was holding in his hands one of Raph's Sais, making them to look like a tooth stick compared to the size of his own big hands.
However, the hulking man had somewhat impressed and admiring look on his faces while eyeing the turtle in red's weapons.
"This is some nice steel." Hun commented, before turning towards the turtles. "How about telling me who gave them to you?"
"Your mama. Who else?" Raph calmly yet tauntingly replied with the wide grin.
A bit irritated, but keeping his calm, Hun threw both Raph's Sais at each side of his head.
"I'm sorry. I didn't quite hear you." he said sarcastically, as he picked Sais off the table and threw them onto the table standing next to them, along with Louie's Butterfly swords.
Hun then picked both Raph's and Louie's Shell cells and lifted them in front of both Raph's and Louie's faces.
"You wanna know something? Sometimes, I get a little clumsy when people don't answer my questions. So unless you don't want this to happen to your tiny little skulls and brains, you'll answer to my questions nicely." Hun said sadistically, as he wrapped his hand around of the Shell cells and squeezed, crushing them, before he put the damaged cells down onto the table.
As Hun turned around, Raph noticed the Purple Dragons' tattoo that reached from the back of his right hand to his right shoulder.
"Hey, nice tat! Purple Dragon or just some big ugly chicken?" Raph laughed mockingly.
"This must mean that you do not differ much from your friends: As an oversized pile of muscle without the brains." Louie added mockingly.
In retaliation for Louie's taunts, Hun went to Louie and grabbed with his large hand a quite roughly from the turtle in black's head.
"Big mouth you got there, little one." Hun sneered. "How about a little headache that will keep you quiet for a moment whle I interrogate your friend here?"
Hun then proceeded to wrap his big thick fingers around of Louie's head, and right afterwards he began to slowly squeeze them around of turtle in black's head with the superhuman-like strength.
"Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! OW! OW! OW! OW! OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!" Louie cried loudly in pain from Hun's grasp's painful pressure around of his head, making the turtle in black to think that his head was in the vice. Gritting his teeth, Louie tried vainly struggle against his restrains to get at least his hands free and make the giant to loose his squeezing grasp from his head.
Hun grinned sadistically while watching Louie squirming in pain.
"Trust me, little one. If it is up to me, I'd demonstrate to you further what happened to the last guy who had guts enough to speak out to me like that. But today I happen to be too merciful to be content with just giving you a fierce headache instead. AH HA HA HA HA HAA!" Hun cackled cruelly, before he squeezed his fingers around of Louie's head again and even harder this time, making Louie's headache even more painful and intolerable.
"OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW! LET GO OF ME, YOU FAT ROUGH-HANDED GORILLA!" Louie cried painfully as he kept squirming in his restrains.
Raph gritted his teeth while witnessing Hun torturing his brother in front of his eyes.
"Psst" came the silent whisper near of Raph's right ear hole, making the turtle in red to turn his head to his right to see that who had whisperer to him.
Raph saw a woman standing next to him.
Raph studied her with his eyes from head to toes, seeing her beautiful narrow, smoot and stoic face, her amber eyes and the black chin-length shiny hair, which covered the left side of her face. Raph also saw that she was dressed in the sleeveless black ninja suit with V-neckline with the collar, over which she wore the armored vest, and her arms were covered with the black bandages and the wrist guards. Raph also saw that she had two finely crafted Katanas resting in the X-shaped scabbards tied to her back, including the pair of equally finely crafted Tanto-swords resting in two smaller scabbards tied on the sides of her waist.
It was Jennika, though Raph didn't know who she was.
However, seeing the same - though golden this time - three-toed ninja-symbol resting on her suit's chest, Raph immediately identified her as a comrade of those ninjas wearing the same symbol and was thus an enemy. The turtle in red then shot a cold glare at the woman, growling at her through of his gritted teeth.
However, instead of glaring back at him with hostility like Stockman and Hun did in the same room, Jennika eyed Raph rather with the interest. Seeing these two two-legged, talking and human-like behaving humanoid turtles, who had caused them a lot of trouble lately, with her own eyes was a quite interesting opportunity to her indeed.
Raph didn't knew what in him interested this ninja-woman, but he didn't care one bit.
"Hoy! Jennika!" Stockman suddenly called through speaker, making both Raph and Jennika to turn to Stockman.
However, something caught Raph's attention in the lower corner of his eyes and he looked slightly down to see that what it was. To his surprise, he saw that Jennika was secretly holding in her left hand a short Tanto-blade without the guard between the blade and handle. Jennika held the weapon from its blade as if wit hthe intention to hand it over to him.
Raph looked the blade in Jennika's hand in confusion, before he looked up at Jennika - as the woman was still turning her back to him while facing Stockman - with distrust. Whatever the woman was up to, it had to be some sort of plot.
"What are you doing here, Jennika?! You were supposed to be guarding the deck!" Stockman chided via the speaker.
"I'm just routinely checking the situation down here, Dr. Stockman. Nothing more." Jennika claimed stoically, as she secretly nudged the Tanto in her hands towards Raph's right hand, silently and secretly demanding him to take it.
Even though Raph remained distrustful towards her and her intentions, Raph decided to give it a shot, if it meant to get both him and Louie out of here alive.
The turtle in red checked at first both Hun and Stockman with the quick glances to make sure that their attentions were elsewhere. After making sure that both villains were distracted with their recent doings, Raph reached for the Tanto's handle with his restrained right hand. Luckily, Jennika stood close enough to hold the blade close enough for the turtle in red to take it without being seen
And once Tanto was in his hand, Raph changed the blade's position to hide it under of his hand to wait for the right moment to use it.
Feeling the Tanto's blade slipping away from her fingers, Jennika, while still speaking to Stockman, withdrew her hand back.
"I was just on my way out." she made an excuse and started to take her leave out of the room.
"Sooner the better." Stockman dismissed, before he turned back to Hun and the two turtles.
