Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (My Version)

Chapter 7 ~ It's What Mikeys Do

~ Chapter 7 ~

Ever since I did that whole "Death Dragon" thing, the turtles has been treating me like I was the turtle living in the sewers.

When I was boredly leaning against the counter in their kitchen, Leo came out of their Dojo and up to me.

"Okay, Nick," he said with a deep breath. "Do you honestly not know how you preformed that move?"

"I don't!" I threw my arms in the air. "And if this 'Shredder' guy is the only one who did it, besides Dogpound, how do I of all people know it?"

Leo sighed and gave me a blue eye stare. "It does explain why he's sending all the ninjas after you, if he knows."

I scowled. "The attacks started...what? Five days ago? So why now? Why not five...ten years ago?"

Leo shrugged. "Listen, the real reason why I came out here was to ask you something."

I tilted my head to the side. "Really, what?"

"Well, I wasn't sure at first but you can obviously take care of yourself. So, the guys and I go out at night and kind of do this thing called patrol."

My eyes regarded him. "Patrol?"

"Yeah, make sure the Purple Dragon aren't doing anything along with Shredder's Foot Ninjas. And I was wondering if you would like to come with."

I grinned. "Uh, duh, of course I do!"

He relaxed a little. "Okay, good."

Before he walked away, I called out. "Hey, Leo?"

He turned. "Yeah?"

I propped my elbows on the counted and rested my chin in my hands. "How bad is this Shredder dude anyway?"

Leo's shoulders sagged and pushed his straps aside to see his plastron a blotchy gray instead of the yellow tan. "He did this to me when two of his...uh 'disciples' were mutated. It never went away and I don't think it ever will."

I frowned. "Well, what's exactly does he look like?"

Leo glanced around. "He wears a samurai amour and a Kuro Kabuto that's metal."

I arched my eyebrow. "What's a killer ka butt?

He rolled his eyes but surppresses a smile. "Kuro Kabuto, it's a helmet passed down by past generations."

"Cool, what's it look like?"

Leo frowned. "It's kind of hard to describe, Nick."

"Oh, well, I guess I'll see it when we whoop his butt."

He stared at me. "When are we going to whoop his butt?"

I grinned. "Well I figured we were gunna do it eventually."

He shook his head. "No we're aren't. The Shredder isn't someone you can just challenge, you have to train and train and train and then train some more. We fought him and he beat us to pulp."

My grin disappeared. "I know I'm gonna have to see him some time. He's tried to kidnap me numerous times!"

Leo's expression hardened. "Don't take this the wrong way but, you don't want to see him, meet him or anything. Splinter struggles with just talking about him. He's scarred us all."

"How'd he scar Splinter?"

Leo turned away, his expression pained. "The Shredder is the one who killed Tang Shen."

My eyes widened. "W-wha..?"

"GUUUYS..!" Mikey yelled. "YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!"

Leo and I walked to Mikey who was in front of the TV.
