Turtle II Secret of the Ooze

Chapter 7

Turtle sighed. She wished she knew how to somehow contact her brothers. She needed to tell them that Shredder was still alive... but how...

Just then, the doors burst open! In walks metalhead himself.

"Tch.." Was all Turtle said to him. She didn't even look in his direction.

"Unlock her and bring her to the training grounds." He snapped. With that, two ninjas unlocked her wrists.

She made no hesitation to begin swinging, only to be pinned down once more...

She was weak... they hadn't fed her since they captured her. Only given her water to keep her alive. The Professor tried to share his food with her, but when he was caught, he would get no food the next day..

They lifted her up and dragged her outside. When they dropped her on the ground, she heard the clinking footsteps of Shredder approaching her.

Shakily, she tried to get up, but The Shredder kicked her in the stomach, causing her to collapse again...

"I have decided to be merciful and let you die today." He said, kicking her over onto her back.

Turtle coughed and groaned. "How nice." She said sarcastically.

With that, several young boys surrounded her.

"This child!" He said, raising his voice to them. "Is one of the freaks we so hate! She has defeated your brothers, show her now! Show her that our family can not be broken. Go now, destroy her.. and enjoy it.."

Shredder left, and Turtle stood up shakily. She assumed a fighting stance.

"Come on then!" She said. "Are you gonna fight me or not!?"

Two of the boys rushed at her! Turtle ducked down and swept her feet under both of them, causing them to fall and conk their heads together!

She leapt up and stood back in a fighting stance.

But she was weak from hunger... She stumbled a little, but maintained her stance.

"You call yourselves ninjas?!" She said mockingly. "More like ninj-aints. Because you aint no ninjas!"

She felt a sharp pain on her head as one of the boys hit her! She stumbled back, only to be kicked in the back by another! She was launched forward, then launched in the air as someone kicked her in the stomach!

She quickly regained her balance and landed on her feet! Weak from hunger, and in pain, she breathed heavily. She could feel her vision blurring out.

"Hey Keno, why aren't you getting in on this?!"

Turtle looked around. She spotted who they were talking to! It was the boy from the robbery! He looked at her, horrified at what they were doing. Why was he here? Was he a foot member now?

She turned around and held up her fists.

"Yea Keno, why not?"

Keno shook his head slightly.

"I can't, she's a little girl! This is shameful!"

"You'll never make top rank if you keep talking like that Keno!"

Keno looked at her sadly.

"Turtle I-..."

Turtle's eyes widened. He knew her name? That means he knows her brothers..

"Shut up and fight me!" She said, then suddenly leapt in the air and punched Keno in the face, knocking him over!

Just as she suspected, the others joined in, punching her, kicking her, and Turtle was too weak to fight on!

Finally she just collapsed on the ground.. They gathered around her..

"Finish it." One of them said.

One brought out a sword and held it over Turtle.

"Any last words kid?"

Turtle stared at the sword..

"Like my Grandfather before me, I will die at the hands of the Foot, but unlike you.."

Turtle closed her eyes and extended her chest, offering her heart to the boy!

"I WILL DIE WITH HONOR!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Turtle heard the screams as a fight broke out around her! She felt someone partially lift her up! It was Keno!

"Keno.." She said weakly.

"Hey.." He said. "We're here to save you!"

"We...?"

Turtle looked toward the direction of the fight, and smiled as she saw a familiar figure..

"Raphael..."
