Unexpected Gift

Chap 2

Leonardo was alone tonight. He had had another fight with Raph. Mikey and Don, who was out of his lab for once, were playing video games together tonight to go out with him. Leo had had to get some air to cool his temper down after shouting his lungs out for the past two hours at Raph.

None of the others had wanted to go on patrol tonight, so Leo went out to do it alone. Aside from wanting air. He was also the most dedicated to the ninja arts. He also wanted to get some training in on the run too. But like always, with turtle luck running to form, it didn't work out this night.

Ninjas had been looking out for him for nearly a week now. Saki had been getting impatient. Now it would be rewarded this night.

Leo was running and jumped over a rooftop and landing on the other side, when the Foot spotted him. This was their turtle! And good, he was alone too. They took off after him.

Leo kept on running and sensed they were following him. He turned his head around and saw them. He growled to himself. Didn't these losers ever give up? Nope. They were relentless. They wouldn't give up until him and all his family were dead.

He couldn't take it anymore. Leo had to stand and fight now because his running was only being rewarded with him being chased some more and more. He stopped, panting. The ninjas were letting him catch his breath for the moment. The ninja who's idea it was to go after him was leading the attack.

"Get him!" The order was given and the ninjas attacked the lone turtle.

Leo immediately took out his katanas and began fighting back, giving out his well known battle yell.

He kicked, punched, used his swords, he knocked most of them down or out. But he didn't kill. He won this time. But more were popping up now, now that he had been spotted.

Most of the night, Leo was trying to get home again, but the ninjas wouldn't give up the chase. He fought and ran, ran and fought, never killed, but he just couldn't get away from these guys. He was getting so exhausted from running. He had training in the morning and he needed some rest, but these ninjas weren't going to give it to him.

Leo had no idea why they were after him. Just to bring him down and weaken his family, he knew that part all too well.

The leading ninja glanced at the lead turtle's stomach. That was why he was after him. But Leonardo was not an easy one to take down. Finally, he recommended a dart and drugs used to sedate him a bit, just enough to take him down.

A blowgun was used.

Leo was standing near the edge of a rooftop, panting hard, watching the ninjas, who were ready to attack him at any second, then he felt a prick in his left arm. He winced and looked. A dart was in his arm. He was already beginning to feel its effects.

He looked at the ninjas one last time and wanted to get away so bad, but he knew he couldn't. He blacked out.

Leo fell to the ground onto his stomach, dropping his swords. "Have a good nap, Turtle." The lead ninja said, stepping forward now. He leaned over and rolled the turtle over to his back. He looked at the stomach for a moment, then Leo's face. It looked like it was in pain.

"Can we do it to him right here?" One asked.

"No. We don't have the stuff here with us. We have to take him back to the building to get everything ready, and even grabbing some of his DNA for fertilization." The leader said.

Leo was picked up and he was carried back to the Foot building. His swords and shell cell were left behind. "We'll bring him back here when we are through with him. Mark the spot."

"Okay Sir."

The spot was marked and a note made of where to drop the leader off when they were finished with him for now.
