Part 11
I woke up. Now with a bigger fear of what's going to happen, it was another nightmare. I stood up, it was like the dream getting ready to go meet Killer. Nothing could be worse than that dream, and the worse part was that it felt real, too where I could still hear the devile talking to me. I grabbed my swords and put them on my belt. Than walked to the lunch room.
I couldn't help but think to myself. Is there a hell, am I going there if so. What is going to happened to me. Will I ever get away. Worry just filled my head, along with fear. Once getting in the room, I looked to see everyone was in the same places as my dream, than I started to feel like it was Ground Hog day. I sat down next to the Shredder. Than Killer walked in. This time he didn't sit down, he just walked over to Terror.
"Is this everyone you have choosen?"
"Yes dad, this is all my best fighters." Terror said standing up and walking towards Killer. For the first time in my life I saw fear in Terror's eyes.
"Who is who and tell me about them." Killer than sat down, but not at the table with us.
"This over here." Terror said running over to Mokeshan. "Is Mokeshan, she was our first human W. I got her from the town that the Shapers grew up in on Earth. She's been one of the best since we got her, she use to be looked at as an hero to the humans. Now she's one of us." Terro than walked up to Shredder.
"This is the Shredder, his real name is Oroku Saki. I found him as a leader to a crime wav here on Earth. They called it the Foot Clan. He grew up with the thought of revenge for his brother's death. In doing so have killed many, including the deaths of his brother's killer. But more came from that one kill, he gain some ppl or should I say Turtles who went out to stop him, he failed to ever win these Turtles."
"You're wrong!" Shredder stood up. "I have won these Turtles many times! I just haven't been able to kill them!"
"Sit down Shredder" Killer said. The sound of his voice reminded me of my dream. But it wasn't the voice of Killer in the dream, it was the voice of the devil. "Now tell me about the Turtle, Terror." Terror walked up to me.
"The Turtle here, is the newest to our little family. His name is Leonardo, he's the leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Killer looked at me.
"Earth the world of entertainment. Ah, one of their stories is ture. I've watch the cartoon a few times." Killer smiled. "Oh this is too funny, the Ninja Turtles and the Shredder. HA! This has to be a joke." Killer than looked at Terror. "Does he fight as well as they are known for?"
"Yes dad, and yet better. He can stand pain longer than any of the others. He fights back, but we can break him down. He'll be seeing there's no way out of here soon enough." Killer got up and walked over towards me. I looked at him, I could feel pure evil, it felt as if he was the devil. This is Peter's dad?
"He has a strong soul. We can use him for more than just causing problems here on Earth." Killer said walking towards me. I turned my head, for some reason I didn't want to look him in the eyes. "Yes, we will break him, but that might take too long." Killer looked over towards Terror. "I say we bring him up our way."
"What dad?"
"I say we turn this little Turtle back young and bring him our ways."
"Dad before you do that, we must use him to take on the Shapers." Terror said standing up. "Than we can try that, you know that might even work. Just make sure that he keeps all his Karate skills when turned to a kid." Terror smiled.
"Don't worry Terror, I know more than you on this topic. For I have done this before." Killer looked at me. "Once our job is done here on Earth, you will have a new life ahead of you. In the mean time, I want you get the other Turtles Terror, we can use all four of them, and that Rat of their's." Killer walked out of the room, as Terror ran up to him. I could hear them talk, as they walked out.
"Dad, I don't know if we can get all of the other Three."
"Why not?"
"Because I kind of had Shredder take one of them down, I don't think it will live." Killer looked at Terror.
"Well good than, we'll only have two Turtle to get." Than they were gone. Shredder stood up, he looked at me and smiled.
"You poor fool. I get to go free after the Shapers are out of the way, and I get to loose you four geeks at the sametime. I'll be free of all my problems, the world will be mine!" Shredder laughed and walked up to me. "You see Turtle, things go right for the one who is right, and it wasn't my brothers fault for his death, it's you who is getting the rest of your life taken away early. HAHAHAHA!!!!" Shredder walked out of the room, I could hear him laugh all the way down the hall.
"He just wont face the fact that his brother was causing trouble, and your master Yoshi did what he had too." I turned to see Mokeshan standing behind me.
"Thanks Mokeshan. I know one of these days he'll learn the truth and I hope I'm there when that day comes." Mokeshan and I walked out of the room. I looked at her, feeling away I never felt for a human, she was caring and she too was in the trouble that I was, but she was human. We went down to the dojo and worked together for a few hours.
"Mokeshan.. what do you think that meeting was about?"
"I think Killer's taking over, this is taking to long. He wanted the Shapers caught years ago. Terror is showing him around."
Later that night I couldn't sleep. I just lyed in bed, no matter how tired, my a two dreams brother me. Is Mikey alive? Is the devil real? Can I win this fight? I tossed and turned in my bed for hours, just thinking about what has happened. I wanted to run home and check on Mikey.
To get my mind off of my dreams I went to the lunch room to make myself some food. I noticed Shredder sitting in there, also awake. I went to head away, because I didn't want to fight with him. He was drunk and might try something dumb. As I was leaving I could hear the Shredder talking to him self as he broke a few dishes.
"IT'S HAMATO'S FAULT!!! HE KILLED MY BROTHER!!! I HAD A RIGHT TO KILL HIM!!!!" He tossed a cup across the room. "If those Turtles want to stand up to me for giving my brother peace than so be it! I'll kill each and everyone of them! Than I will be left alone!!" He picked up a plate and threw it at a window, breaking both. "I'm not going to take no order from the Turtle!! He's NOT MY BOSS!! HOW DARE THEY EVEN TALK ABOUT LETTING THAT TURTLE BE PLACED HIGHER THAN ME!!!!"
What? What is he talking about? They can't place me higher than him! Why would they want too? I'm not evil, Shredder's evil to every last bone, I don't think there's anyone in this world he cares for.
"There you're wrong." I turned to face Mark. "Saki does have feelings, he's just locked them away."
"How would you know?" I asked taking time out to hear what Mark had to say.
"Because we met Saki before he was Foot, before his brother died. He wasn't like this before, infact he cared for ppl. He was close to his brother, and his cousin."
"Cousin? I didn't know about him or is it a her?"
"It's a him."
"What happened to him?"
"Well you see, when they were real young they met a cousin, not a close cousin in realation, he was from England. I better start from the beginning with this, let's return to your room." Mark turned and started walking towards my room. I fellowed. Once we got to my room, I sat on my bed as Mark took a seat near the window.
"Before us Shapers got to Earth is when this story begins. You see it took place in England, a young boy lived with his mom and dad. They were a happy family, till one day some ppl broke in and killed the mom and dad to the boy. They made the kid watch as his mom and dad were killed. Than one of them, took the boy in a car. He was going to kill the boy, but had to get away from the area first. He took a plane to Japan, to get rid of the kid where no one would find him. As driving the car crashed." Mark looked out the window. "The boy lived, and was taken to a hospital there in Japan."
"I bet that kid was hurt bad!"
"Yes Leo, he was. Both his legs were broken, his name is Davy. Saki's brother was the one to find the crashed up car, so he would go in and check on little Davy. One day a doctor came in and told Nagi that Davy was a cousin of his, but couldn't speak japanese. Nagi did know english and went in to talk to the kid. The doctors gave all rights of the kid, while in Japan to the only English ppl in that town. That was Prof. Matt and his twins."
"Shouldn't the Oroku's have got him?"
"Since the Oroku's family was never use to anyone so.... how to put this.... lets just say, Davy was so bad, any wrong move could break him. Saki and Nagi both were not ones to stand still long enough to take the kind of time needed to take care of Davy, at least that's what ppl thought. One day while Prof. Matt was at work, the building went up in flames killing him. By this time us Shapers have gottan to Earth. We didn't know any of them yet though, besides Prof. Matt, for he was the one to kill my brother Jim." Mark looked down, he was telling me so much, but it still hasn't gottan to what I wanted to hear.
"After Prof. Matt died, his two sons were taken in by another family, but Davy was given to the Oroku's. Saki and Davy got real close as kids, they would hang out with a gang of other kids. Even though Davy was in a wheele chair, he knew how to have fun. Around this time, we noticed Davy and would help him if he ever needed it, but we wouldn't talk to him, for we didn't know how to talk in any ways like humans. To hear the sound that humans made were weird, we couldn't tell one from the other." Mark walked over to me. "This is where we saw that Saki had feelings, he loved his cousin and took care of Davy's every need. Davy left Japan before Nagi's Death and was never to be seen again. I know, that no matter how mad, or out of it Saki is, he'll always care for his lost cousin, who left on a plane ticket to England at the age of 7 years old. To find his family that lived.. like Grandma's or Grandpa's... I hope he found a home."
Mark got up and looked over. "It's time I go. Now when you look at that mad person in the lunch room, remember he did have a life before this, and if it can be pulled out, there might be a chance for him yet." Mark shaped away into the ground.
I walked back to the lunch room, Shredder now was down. His metal mask placed on the table, his head in his hands. "DAMNIT NAGI!!! WHY AREN'T YOU HEAR FOR ME!!!! Why...why...why...?" I now saw the pain in Shredder, that all the anger in him was because he lost the only two ppl who he really cared for in his life, and he was taking it out on everyone else. "I'll get that DAMN TURTLE!!! He's the one causing us pain now!! I'll put you out of all your pain!!! I miss you!!! I'll get all who says it was right for you too die!!!! YOU DID NOTHING WRONG! YOU WERE THE PERFECT BROTHER!!" I looked down, hearing Shredder. I couldn't face him tonight. He didn't seem like himself, but than again, drinking can do that to a person.
I went back to my room, this time with more thoughts on my head. Now, what was the Shredder to me, just a big cloud of anger, or is there some love hiden within it. And the other thoughts hunted at me too... how is my brothers... I want to go home. After a few hours of lying down, I finally got to sleep.
When I awoke the next morning, Terror was standing at my door. Blades wasn't to far behind him.
"Wake up shell back!" Terror said turning on my light. "I want you to go down to the DoJo right now. You have to work out for three hours, than you'll get to eat." Terror turned and walked out. Blades looked at me, than followed Terror. I could hear him in the back ground talking..
"Please Lord Terror, I just want to go for a bit... I want to go see my home, it's around Chirstmas time, I haven't been home for years now." As the voices was gone, it hit me... Chirstmas... already... again. I sat down, how many years has it been since I haven't been home for a Chirstmas.
I got up and walked to the DoJo. Shredder was standing in there, over to his right was Killer... and too his right was Mokeshan. "We are here to see who gets first in command amoung the three of you. The first too fighting will be Mokeshan and Leonardo. I will pick who is the winner, and you do not stop fighting until I tell you too." Mokeshan walked out in front of me. I couldn't believe Killer was telling me to fight her. We started with our basic moves, slowy working up.
I did a Mae Geri, but Mokeshan buke it with a Gedan Barai uke. I followed my Geri with a Hidari punch... She didn't see it coming. I got through, as she went to uke a Migi punch. As she was left open from my punch, I hit her with a Mae Geri... it sent her flying back a few steps. Enough for her to caught her breath. I really didn't want to be the one in first command, I didn't care... for I'm not evil. I lightened up on her, knowing if I won I would have to fight the Shredder, and while sparring we could hurt each other... and I heard Shredder say he wanted us dead, but he has nothing against Mokeshan. When Killer saw me light up on Mokeshan he put a pain down my shell.
"I want you guys to fight, and not let the other win. Fight you hardest.. and that goes for you Leonardo! I know you can fight better than this, if what I was told is ture." I knew if I didn't live up to what he thought of me few things could happen. The good side is, that I wont be the one he wants. He wont turn me into a kid, and I would be set free. That was what I wanted.. I might not be set free right off the bat, but as soon as they leave Earth they'll leave all who has failed them behind. I wouldn't mind them taking Shredder out of our hands though... but than it hit me.. I looked at the Shredder... could he be cured... is there any love left within that ball of anger.
Mokeshan came at me full force. I backed away letter her geri miss me and she fell off banlace. I saw she just wanted this over, while her back was towards me I geried her, knocking her down.. than I thought of being free again.. of not being first in command. Than it hit me, the bad part of letting them down by not fighting the fight.. is they might kill me or worst, make me go down in pain for the rest of my life. Each day the pain getting worst... I had to fight the fight. I jumped down at her, she rolled out of the way. This was just the beginning of the fight. Mokeshan and I, both knew we were good fighters.. and I've always looked at her as the best. I would study her when I was younger, I never thought I would be fighting her. She came up at me, hitting me on my Hidari arm, I looked to see blood come down, she used her blades, which I've never seen her use. I held the scream of pain in, as I threw my blades into her Migi Nawa. I could see the pain in her eyes. I drew back with a scream of pain. I looked towards Killer, to see if he would call the fight over yet, but he didn't.
"Keep going Turtle. You're not done yet." Killer said watching as if he was enjoying this. Mokeshan heard that, and wasn't going to let me get her again. She stood up and jumped at me, with a flying Nawa Geri... I jumped off to the side doing a round Geri hitting her to the ground. She got up, as fast as she could, the pain in her eyes hurt me, I didn't want to fight her. As she got up again, I knew I had to take her out, before she got hurt worse, I wasn't going to let myself get hurt and right now I had the upper hand, being the one who has had the blades not as long as the others, I had more power over my anger.. poor Mokeshan lost that to herself years ago, her anger still grows to this day.
I jumped at her, going down with a punch to finsh her, to put her in a state where she can't fight anymore.. it would only last for a few minutes if I hit the right spot. As I was going down, I felt a blade go down into the Mae of my shell. I screamed out in pain, as I felt the blood come out. Mokeshan was faster than I thought. I grabbed her arm, and I heard a snap... I knew than that I broke it. I didn't mean too, but I was in pain. Mokeshan screamed out and than rolled away, holding her arm. I fell to the ground holding my shell, I knew if I stayed down to long Mokeshan would try something.
I got up to my feet. I turned to face Mokeshan, who also came to her feet. I brought my blades out, ready for this fight... not wanting it to end, because I feared what was going to happened. I feared either Mokeshan or me dieing, I knew they wouldn't let us die, but they would let us get close it death. Mokeshan came at me, I was ready for her this time, but I wasn't ready for what she was about to do. So far the main thing she was doing was Geri, but this time she threw a punch, with blades out, she hit me across my face. I felt as it cut into my skin, feeling the pain from what she was doing.. it got the anger in me, but I fought it. I had to keep control, but the blades started to burn again... the last time that happened I fought Raphael and I didn't want to lose my control again.
Killer's eyes went on me. He saw I still had control, yet Mokeshan didn't. Killer smiled, he was making his choses before the fight was over. As the blades burned, held it back. I filped over Mokeshan and jumped her from behind, just in the right place. She fell to her knee, then to her hands and not being able to hold herself up anymore... she fell out of the fight.
"Good job Turtle." Killer said walking towards me. I couldn't stand anymore, my shell was in deep pain, it brought back the pain from the sais as well. I fell to my knees, Killer smiled. "Today you have won, but tomorrow, you'll be facing the Shredder." Killer turned and walked away. "Take Leo to his room, he'll need the rest for tomorrow."
