I'm No Hero

Chapter 16: Plot Twist

Leo's POV

"Welcome back to the world of the living, Moon. I swear everything that happens revolves arounds you." Raph joked.

"Uh huh." Moon said distantly as she watched Donnie and Casey carry the old guy towards the party wagon.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

She turned and looked at me, hesitating for less than a second before launching forward and kissing me.

My eyes widened before I kissed her back, something we had never even gotten the opportunity to do before. It was short and sweet, but meaningful.

Moon smiled at me, "We never got around to that, and my dad told me to go for it."

"Your dad?" April asked.

"Yeah, that's actually why I passed out. He was trying to talk to me, but we were in different dimensions. We got to talk for a little while before the dream beavers interrupted us." She explained.

"Passed out? You had a seizure and almost died." Raph deadpanned. "It's been over two days."

"Yeah yeah. Well everyone is fine now." She waved it off.

"I'm just glad everyone us okay." I told her.

She smiled.

Suddenly a crashing sound rang through the house.

"What the heck?" Moon furrowed her eyebrows.

"Casey!? Donnie!?" April called out as all of us pulled our weapons free.

A single pair of heavy footsteps made their way closer until he stood in the doorway, casting a shadow over the room.

"I believe I sent an assassin here to kill, not fraternize."

Tigerclaw.

"How did you find us?!" I demanded, pointing one of my blades at him.

"Easily. Moon made a map for me." He said, patting his pocket.

I heard Moon growl softly from her place at my side.

"You mind controlled her!" I accused.

I mean, obviously, but I just wanted Moon to hear that so she still knows where we stand.

"Me? Mind control? I have more honor than that, turtle. We both know that you are the ones who changed Moon's memories." He stated.

"Like we're going to believe you." April rolled her eyes.

I saw Moon pull a wooden dagger from her sleeve. Good. She isn't buying it.

"Either way, I suggest you all surrender peacefully. I have the whole place surrounded, you'll never escape." He said.

"Surrounded huh? We've dealt with worse." Raph said before launching forward, the rest of us at his heels.

Raph's sais cut straight through the chest of the hologram. Then he growled and found one of the small metal bots that was creating it.

Raph crushed it.

Suddenly, the sound of shattering glass was present as the entire house was infiltrated by the foot- I mean, tiger bots.

No normal ninjas. He was afraid we actually would succeed and interrogate them. Which is fine, I like it when my enemies are scared.

We all fought our way through them towards the closest exit, the smashed livingroom window.

It almost seemed like we would make it too, before April cried out, having been kicked in the back of the head by a fo- tiger bot.

"April!" Raph, who was the closest to her, jumped forward and fended off the attackers.
