Part 22
Revyen noticed me, and tried to fight her way towards the battle around me, but I saw the W's go down harder on her. What's going on here? I thought to myself. Than my eyes went back upon Terror. A wave of fear went through my head.
"Leonardo, how nice to see you." Terror said walking towards me. Shredder jumped in his way.
"He's mine!!! I WANT TO BE THE ONE TO KILL THE TURTLE!!!"
"We're not killing him Shredder. We're taking him back." Terror said walking towards me. Holding my sword as tight as I could, I swung it hitting his W on his belt. Terror dropped down in pain. Seeing him in pain was my chance to get away. I turn around cutting my sword into one of the W's kids, I watched him fall, leaving a path for me to get out. Keeping my eye on the Shredder, I started to head out, than Shredder jumped me.
"Now is my Chance to kill you! You will pay! My brother can't rest, till all who stands for Yoshi is DEAD! YOU MUST DIE!!!!"
"Shredder, shut up and listen to yourself! Nagi did this to himself, and you'll never be happy till there's no where else for you to go! I wasn't there for Nagi's death, therefore, I had nothing to do with it!!!" Shredder swung his sword at me, bringing my sword up I blocked it. "Shredder, stop this!" I wish he didn't drink, it's easier to get away when he's not so mad.
"WHY DID NAGI HAVE TO DIE?! I'LL TELL YOU WHY!!! BECAUSE YOUR RAT'S MASTER WANTED HIM DEAD!!! NOW YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT HE DID!!! ALL WILL PAY FOR NAGI'S DEATH!!!" Some W kids grabbed him back. Others ran around me. I could handle the W kids easier than Shredder, so I was happier.
"Down Shredder, we'll handle the Turtle." One of the W's said.
"NO! I WONT LET YOU BE THE ONES TO DO IT!! THE TURTLE IS MINE!!!!" Using his blades he cut one of the kid's arm that was holding him. I looked back seeing him get away from the W kids, seeing the blood all over the one that got cut. If I didn't fight him, he would kill these kids for holding him back, and some of them are like I was, made to work for the W's with no choice. Should I run or fight? I looked up to see Raphael and Ninjara jump out into the fight.
"LOOK WHAT YOU'VE GONE AND DONE LEO!!!" Raph yelled. "But even though you made another mistake, I'm helping." This was my chance, Raph and Ninjara would handle the W's while I take care of the Shredder, but was that a good idea?
I held my sword strong, but not strong enough, Shredder got free from the W kids and jumped right on me, knocking my sword off to the side. He brought his blades right down into the same spot Raph's sais went. I felt the pain, but couldn't give in. I threw my arm up as the blades came out and hit Shredder off me. Cutting him in the gut, Shredder screamed out in pain.
"YOU WILL DIE TURTLE!!!!"
"Shredder! I'm not here to kill YOU!" I looked up as Revyen got over here. I notice a W kid grab her back. She kicked the kid off her, than kicked Shredder off of me. I looked up at her.. what's going on here? I thought to myself, is she helping me.
"I need your help Leonardo!"
"Why should I help you?! You Killed Master Splinter!!!"
"Because, when I showed up to the war.. which I didn't see any of you guys at!!!! Mokoshan tried to talk things out with me and the W's attacked! They took Mokoshan. I'm trying to free him!" I looked at the fear in her eyes, as Mark said, she does care for him.
"Ok, we'll work together in this one battle, but any sign of you betraying us, than you'll be going down."
"Thank You Leo." Shredder jumped back up, he was slow, much slower than normal at reacting to stuff, I never fought him drunk before, and it seemed weird. Holding his sword he came at me. Revyen jumped in the way, and took on the Shredder. I backed up a bit, just to let some of the pain in my shell take a break. I felt the blood going down the front of my shell, it hurt so bad.
I felt a rush of wind coming at me from the back of my head, I dunked just in time to see a sword go pass, one of the W kids got up behind me. I turned around and hit him up against a tree, grabbing out my other sword, the blades took control. I stepped back, to see what I've done. I looked down, I didn't mean too.. I don't want too.. why does the blades do this? I walked over to a cold body with no life. "I'm sorry" I said in a low voice and lowered my head.
Raph looked at me, as he hit a kid down. He didn't look happy. He knew I didn't like killing and always tried not too, unless I had too. There was a time that I would kill the ones we fought with no problem, like the Purple Dragon gang, but I grew out of that and Raph knew it, even though he still killed, I always told him not to... now he sees me killing. He didn't trust me before, now what does he think of me, did I lose more of his trust?
Picking my sword back up, leaving the body there. I was ready for anyone else to come at me, and I was hoping that I wouldn't do anymore killing. The Blades started to burn, I felt like letting them take over to stop the pain, but I couldn't. A kid came jumping at me from a branch in a tree. I swung around, but again the blades won, as my sword brought some more blood into this battle. I wanted out now.. this was to much, the blades was winning, as I turn around with my sword again upon another W kid. I'm feeling bad, real bad... this isn't what I want and Raphael is watching me. I looked over seeing Revyen fighting Shredder I could hear him yelling.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY YOU DOG!!! I WANT THE TURTLE!!! I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!! You know I could use a shell hanging on my wall for all to see." Shredder really was loseing it.. but he's drunk, and that can do that to a person. Shredder brought his sword down at Revyen, she was able to block it, and as long as she could handle herself I was letting her, for I could hardly stand, losing to much blood. I watched as Ninjara took off into the woods, now it was up to Raph, Revyen, her wolfs and me to win this war. Why did Ninjara leave us?
Around three more W kids came down upon me. It took my blades but seconds to take them out. I was feeling bad for them, but I couldn't help it. Raphael came down near me.
"Leo, since when do you not leave anyone a live?"
"I'm trying Raph, but these blades really don't like leaving ppl a live. I have to get out of this battle before I kill more."
"You better just hope you live getting out of here Leo!" Raph wiped some of the blood from my shell. "I'm worried Leo, you can bleed to death because of this."
"I'll be ok Raph, but right now we have to find Mokoshan, he's here somewhere.. the W's have him." Raph went to pull me towards the woods, he was to worried about me to think of Mokoshan, I knew he still cared. "Raph, Revyen told me they have Mokoshan, we have to save him!"
"How can you trust her?" I looked back, as Shredder cut her arm. "She's the one who got us into this mess. I don't think I want to deal with the likes of her, unless it's in a fight to the finsh." I knew the feeling Raph was talking about, but if we didn't work to find Mokoshan and get this war over with, than we would be letting Master Splinter down.
"Raph! We need to get this war over with! Now just because I was gone for a few years doesn't mean I'm a changed Turtle" Which I knew I was. "Let's get this war over with." I knew I changed.. I knew it all to well. I looked around at the W kids that I killed.. I didn't mean to, but it happened, what happens if I get made at one of my brothers? I have to lose these blades somehow.
Raph looked at me. You could tell he just wanted out of the fight, but he listened to me. "You're out to get us killed Leo." I looked down, knowing what I was doing was right, why couldn't Raph take my word on it. I felt a sharp pain, and I wanted to fall of to the ground and just go to sleep, but I didn't let myself.
I need to rest, and out of this fight. I knew it, but I also knew Mokoshan needed my help, and that was more important. My shell was yelling at me, with pain. I was feeling kind of dizy from the lost of blood, but that wasn't going to stop me.
Raph went back into the battle, I could tell he wasn't happy. I looked at Revyen holding the Shredder back in a fight. Both of them were cut up badly. At the time it seemed like Shredder was winning, because of a cut on Revyen's leg. Even though Shredder is drunk, he's dangerous.
Raph jumped down hitting Revyen off to the side. "Let me handle him, before you get yourself Killed!" Raph said with a smile upon his face, as he blocked the Shredder's sword from coming down upon him. "This is a job for a Turtle, not a wolf." I could tell Raph was having fun putting Revyen down, like she couldn't handle herself, but Revyen was getting mad.
"True Turtle, I would rather fight you!" Shredder said with an evil laugh. "YOU WILL DIE FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO NAGI!!!" Raph stopped and looked at the Shredder.
"What?" I saw the confused look on Raph's face, because he never saw Shredder this drunk before. Just at the car, and he didn't really understand that either. "Nagi? Where does Nagi come in on this fight?"
Just than I felt something was behind me, I turned around to take on whoever it was, but before I coud do anything a wolf jumped the person. It was another W kid alright, and that wolf took care of him.
When I looked back towards Shredder and Raph fighting, I noticed Revyen was fighting the Shredder again. I looked around, but I didn't see Raphael. I walked towards the fight, feeling the pain in my shell with every little step. I still couldn't see Raphael. Shredder noticed me, and jumped at me. I moved out of the way watching Shredder land on his face. I looked at Revyen.
"I feel like I'm in a bar fight." She smiled at me, as we watched Shredder trying to get to his feet.
"I can kill him now!" Revyen said.
"NO! Don't Kill Him!" I said stepping in her way. "Death is never the answer." I looked around again, I'm getting worried about Raphael. This fight was getting out of hand and I had to do something about it. But before I did anything I wanted to find Raphael.
"What do you mean don't kill him?!!" Revyen yelled. "That's good come from a Turtle who has been killing anyone who attacks him!! Isn't it!" I looked down, what she has said is true, but it wasn't my biggest worry right now. I worried more about Raphael and Mokoshan, but I didn't want Shredder to die over this fight. Revyen went to go down at him with her sword and I jumped in the way blocking her from killing him.
"Don't kill him!" I looked at the Shredder as he got back on his feet. Than looked at Revyen. "To kill someone while they are down, is to kill without honor. Now, just hold him back! NO KILLING!!" Just than I felt some blades go into the back of my shell. I let out a scream of pain, the Shredder got me. Now I was bleeding from the front and back. I wanted to drop to the ground, but I knew Shredder would kill me with no problem. I turned around cutting at the Shredder, my blades were at full power now and wanted Shredder dead. I jumped at him, now as if I was out of control, Revyen stepped back and watched me as I brought as sword down, cutting into the Shredder's shoulder... he let out a yell. The W kids jumped both of us at once to try and stop this fight, but it was seconds before those kids lost everything they had, and Shredder and I was back into a fight.
"Now look who's out to kill Leo." Revyen said while watching the fight. I stopped and looked at her, than I realized what was going on, I let the blades win me. Shredder came down at me again.. I jumped out of his way. I than fell in pain from the blades, they wanted me to fight, and that was the only way they wont hurt me, but if I let them win, that I would be letting myself lose. I looked up at Revyen.>{?
"Please take over the ......fi..ght." I said, everything was dizy to me.. but I couldn't pass out, not now. I didn't care about the blood lost, I had to find Raphael. Revyen went back into the fight, keeping Shredder from getting me, and some wolfs came around stopping the W's from jumping me. Now it was up to me to get back on my feet. I removed my elbow pads and knee pads, tieing them around my shell to use like a bandage till I could get out of the war. Than uses a tree I got back to my feet. I didn't want to talk, or fight, I wanted to run, but I couldn't do that. Not till Raphael was found and Mokoshan was saved. I wish Ninjara didn't run off on us.
I walked around looking for Raph, a few wolfs stayed by my side, keeping the W's back. A W tried to jump me from the tree, it was but seconds for me to step out of the way, and finsh him off. I didn't want to do this, killing wasn't the answer and I was filled with it tonight. I looked back at Revyen fighting, as if she didn't even miss Raphael. Where could he be.
I noticed that Terror was back up fighting the wolfs, trying to save the W kids, because he needs them. I wonder how long he has been up, I know that Shapers are not as easy to take out, and he couldn't have been out that long. I walked over and looked down, with no sight of Raphael. I feel up against a tree. I failed him. I looked up to see Revyen fall again, I couldn't take this, and I wasn't fully on my two feet anymore with all this blood lost, but I had to do something.
The fight was my fight, and it was to be finshed by me. I took my sword and looked Shredder dead in the eyes. Even though he was there, he was lost. My goal now was to control my blades. The blades began to burn harder, knowing what I was up too. Shredder took a few shaky steps towards me, for once I saw him as a drunk man, who couldn't even stand striaght. It was time.
I thought of my teachings, of what I have learned from Master Splinter. I was only aloud one hit, if I failed Shredder would kill me himself. But when can I get that hit in, and what would I use? It's got to be something good to take out the Shredder. The best thing about this is that the Shredder is drunk, and he wont even know what hit him, when I'm done.
"Come on Turtle! What are you a Chicken or a Turtle?"
"Turtle" I said, than went towards him. He threw a side kick, it was the messes side kick I've ever seen come from him, and I was able to block it. I followed the block with a spare hand strick to the throat. Shredder fell to the ground, he was out cold, but not dead. I stepped back, than looked at all the W kids, who have stopped to see the Shredder down, they backed away, fear in their eyes, for they've never seen the Shredder go down so fast. But the war was not over. Terror was waiting for me. Holding my sword in my left hand, I was ready for him.
