Turtle II Secret of the Ooze

Chapter 10

Turtle laid in the bed quietly. She knew her brothers had gone with the professor to deal with Tokka and Rhazar... However, she KNEW in her heart that this is not the way to do it.

The Shredder needs to be defeated... But will they be able to pull it off?...

Just then, Turtle jumped hearing a noise. Keno had walked into her room.

"Hey Keno."

"Hey Turtle..."

"Father made you stay behind too huh?"

"Yea... I hate it!"

Turtle nodded sympathetically...

"You're right you know." Keno said.

"About what?"

"Tokka and Rhazar."

"You believe me then?"

"Yea.. you need to get outta here and help them."

"I.. dunno how. Father will catch me in an instant. Not only because he's a Master and I'm a seven year old, but because of these broken ribs.."

Keno thought for a moment, then leaned in and whispered into Turtle's ear.

"Tell you what kid, I'll distract the old man, while you make a break for it. K?"

Turtle smiled.

"Are you sure he won't catch on? He's old, but... he trained us to be NINJAS. I'm pretty sure sneaking past him won't be so easy."

"Maybe not." Keno said with a sly smile. "But if it's one thing I know about elders, they love to tell stories of the good old days.."

Keno sat in front of Splinter, who was enjoying a cup of green tea.

"Master Splinter?" Keno asked.

"Yes, young one?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"What was it like, living in Japan?"

Master Splinter smiled and put his cup of tea down. "Aaaaah, Japan." He said, closing his eyes, remembering. "The perfect sky, the snow covered mountains. The air always smelled like the plants around the house. It was here, I was raised by my Master Yoshi. And I was very happy..."

As he talked, Turtle peeked out of the bedroom. She hoped this would work..

She quickly walked to the other side of the lair.

Almost there.

Almost there.

Almost there-

Alas, she accidently stumbled over a coat rack! Causing it to fall and crash!

She had no choice! She made a speedy run out of the exit!

Splinter turned around to see what had happened. He saw the coat rack laying on the floor.

"How did that-"

"Master Splinter, maybe the trench coats were too heavy for it on one side.."

Splinter looked at the fallen coat rack, as he stroked his beard with a knowing gleam in his eye.

"Hmm hmm hmm." He chuckled. "Yes that's probably it."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turtle was at the bottom of the ladder where the man hole was. She was holding her chest, gnashing her teeth in pain!

That sprint had caused her to hurt her healing ribs.. But it was a small price to pay for a good cause..

She climbed up the ladder, grunting a little from the pain.

Luckily, the man hole had already been loosened. So she just used her weapon to easily move it to the side.

Once she made it to the surface, she immediately kicked it back into place.

Good... now... She looked to the east. A full moon loomed over the city. She didn't know what she was gonna do... but she better do it quick.

Time is running out, for ALL of her brothers.
