TMNT 2007: NightWatching Love (Raph X Jamie)

Chapter 1: After Shredder's Death

In the Central American jungle, everything seemed to be at peace. That is until a thief and some of the people who worked for him were driving along in their jeep filled with the stuff they just stole from the village. The lowlife bit into the gold necklace to see if it was real and chuckled to know how much he could get for it. Suddenly, they came to a stop and he slapped the driver upside the head.

"Idiot, watch where you're going," he insulted.

"There's a log on the road señor," the driver pointed ahead and they looked to see a huge tree laid out in front of them.

"Well, if you're not too busy, remove it!" the thief commanded and continued to mutter something.

One of his men went with a line from the front of the truck to tie it around the tree. But the next thing you know, he was flung over the tree. The driver replied in Spanish in shock. Another one of the thief's workers readied his gun, but then he fell into a trap and was lifted into the tree.

"Who are you? Show yourself," the thief demanded.

"It's the ghost of the jungle. He punishes those who prey upon the weak. He's coming," the driver explained fearfully.

As they continued to look around, the driver squeaked in fear when he saw the person who had the gun drop down to the ground, unconscious (A/N I didn't know if he was or dead, so I just guessed).

"I just remembered I left the stove on. My wife, she hates that!" the driver screamed and ran from sight.

"Coward. Get back here!" the thief commanded.

"You're on your own, Jefe!" the driver yelled as he continued to run away.

The thief looked, swinging his machete as he said, "Show yourself. Do you realize who you're dealing with?"

He looked around in fear and anger, not knowing what he would find. Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared behind him.

"What is this-?" he questioned, saw the pair of eyes then screamed, "What?!"

He ran, slicing away the plants in front of him then fell down a hill. Once he recovered, he found his machete, got up, and stood defensively.

"I am not afraid of a myth. I'm not afraid of a ghost!" he yelled into the night.

That's when a human-sized turtle with a blue mask landed in front of him. The thief gaped in shock and fear as the turtle drew one of his katanas.

"What are you?" the thief wondered out loud.

Then they charged at each other, but what came next was the thief's scream that no one but the blue clad turtle and himself could hear.
