CHAPTER ELEVEN - Head On

As we entered the elevator, everyone suddenly went silent, including me. Nothing but silence, and the sound of the turtle's breathing heavily. The beeps of the elevator triggered Mikey to start making a beat out of it.

Raph soon joined in, then Leo and Donnie. I nodded my head to the beat as it continued. It was a bit of a banger...I pictured it being hard to get out of my head later. Nearing the end of our freestyle I joined in, adding some vocals.

"Drop the beat, drop the- Drop the beat, drop it!"

The final chime hit, and we all cleared our throats and released a battle cry as we exited the elevator to face off against Shredder. It felt intense as if it were some kind of final boss battle. A silly way to picture it, but it was the reality of the situation.

"Hey Mikey," Raph spoke, "You remember that thing you used to say when we were kids?"

"You made me promise never to say it-"

"Forget about that!" He said, "You still got one in the tank?"

"I've been holding it in for years!"

"Wait, guys!" Leo spoke abruptly. "We need a plan!-"

It was far too late by this point. Before I knew it, all of the others were on the ground. Leo and I were speechless, to say the least. He charged at Shredder with his katanas.

He was kicked and punched before being thrown off of the building, causing debris to slide off and fall into the streets. I yelled out to him.

"Leonardo!" I looked over the edge to see him holding on.

I turned around to see Shredder fighting with Donnie before flinging him off the side of the roof. Then, Mikey came at him with his nunchucks, but then he too was thrown over the edge. Raph was the last one, and he came running up from behind. Shredder kicked him off, to my amusement. I was all alone now.

Shredder chopped off the end of Donnie's staff, which he wedged underneath metal on the roof. He fell, letting out a scream. I yelled for Raph and Leo to hold on, praying that he wasn't on the verge of falling.

"Shredder," I spoke, putting a bit of distance between the two of us.

"Just so you know...this is the last. Fucking. Time!"

I began firing shots at the armored man, he hollered, hit by some bullets whilst he dodged others.

"You!" He yelled, pointing at me. "You hubris, treasonous brat!"

I continued shooting, dodging as he tossed blades my way. One quickly shifted towards me, slicing my arm. I yelped, clutching my arm. He didn't break the skin. He merely cut the sleeve.

I continued shooting until the clip was empty, I'd knocked off a decent amount of his armor. He was weak at a distance, but if he got close, I was as good as dead. That's exactly what he did, jumping impossibly high to break the distance between us.

Before he could snatch my gun, I aimed for the head and pulled the trigger. It knocked him back a bit. At least, that's what I thought. I broke the armor, but the gun was empty. I didn't have enough time to reload, so I tossed the empty firearm and booked it to the right.

Donnie and Leo came flying over the edge. I bought them enough time to get the jump on Shredder. And, so they did. They eventually had him down at one point, before he quickly threw the two turtles into the tower. Raph soon joined them, as did Mikey. They were all leaning on the tower weakly.

I ran over to them as Shredder scoffed. "Enough...this lesson is over."

"We're getting our asses kicked out there!" Raph grunted, shakily standing back up.

"We only have 50 more seconds before the toxins release," Leo informed us.

"Hey, who wants to play Buck Buck?" Mikey asked with a smile; Leo soon began to smile as well.

"Yeah," Leo smiled, "Let's play Buck Buck."

I stammered. "W-...I-I don't understand."

"It's okay," Leo reassured me, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Listen...if we get Shredder down, try and use your powers to keep him busy while Donnie disables the deployment. Got it?"

I nodded, observing them as they played Buck Buck. I was pretty impressed, their strategy was enough to get Shredder to the edge. I ran over and held my hand out, attempting to Exploit Shredder as Leo ran over to Donnie, talking to him about if he could disable the deployment or not.

I wasn't focused enough to do so. I ended up backing away as the sick and twisted iron man trod closer to me. Donnie ended up disabling the toxin dispersment after all, but Shredder had other plans.

The blades easily cut through the metal, causing the tower to tilt and come close to falling over. While the turtles ran to catch it, I focused on Shredder. He threw a few more sharp blades at me. My anger and focus combined made me instead walk toward them, not away.

"Stop," I demanded, my words echoing as the world around the two of us went dim. The blades moving past me shattered mid-air, cutting my face and arms and causing bleeding. I didn't care, I just wanted this to end.

It's over Shredder. You're finished.
