To Die Happy (Tmnt Donatello Fanfic)

16. The Fighters Have Fallen

-Raphael's POV-

What?

I can't give them Donnie, but if I don't Hannah will die. What the shell do I do?!

"Don't think I won't do it Raphael," Karai threatened, lifting Hannah's head up so she could see me.

"Don't do it Raph! Don't you even think about it!" Hannah snapped, staring into my eyes. She gave a quick scan of the area, without moving her head and gave me a wink.

What the shell? Why did she just wink?

"Noble eh Neeson? Or have you forgotten what April ended up like?" Karai said.

"No, but haven't you done enough to Donatello already?" Hannah hissed back. She looked me in the eye again, and mouthed the word 'run'.

I stared back at her. What the shell is she thinking? Does she want to die?

But then her face turned green, and she dropped out of Karai's grasp. She had shifted into a...snake?

I had completely forgot she was a shapeshifter!

She slithered away at lightning speed, before transforming into her turtle form.

"Come at me then Karai! Shredder!" She yelled, getting into a fighting stance.

Both Shredder and Karai stopped in their tracks, before Shredder charged for Hannah, and Karai turned to me.

"RUN RAPH! RUN!" Hannah screeched, making her turtle form as tall as Shredder and tackling him to the ground.

I did as she said, and turned, running for the exit. Having Donnie slowed me down, but I was quick enough considering I was carrying him.

I was out of the courtyard, running for the outskirts of town where the shell raiser was, when Karai launched herself on top of me, and I tumbled to the ground, Donnie's body rolling out of my grasp.

"Damn you bitch." I growled angrily, raising myself of the ground slowly. God that hurt, and who knows, Donnie could have broke something else there now.

I got up, having to leave Donnie on the ground to fight Karai. I pulled out my sais, and this time, I didn't care if I killed her.

She charged, tanto raised. I blocked it, then attempted to stab her with my other sais. She dodged around me, forcefully pulled away her tanto, and attempted to stab me again.

I shoved her to the ground in a desperate attempt to slow her down. She was quick, I'd give her that. She got to her feet quick and attacked, slashing her sword at me. I blocked as much as I could, but I was exhausted. From getting no sleep to having to fight that many soldiers at one time, my face was still stinging like hell and bleeding.

She ripped her sword away at lightening speed, and before I could raise my sais to stop her, she had stabbed her tanto through my plastron.

In silent horror, I slowly dropped to the ground, finally falling on to my back. The pain was paralysing, but I couldn't seem to scream out like I should have. The panic rised in me at an extremely quick pace, it was like a ton of bricks slapping my face.

It had went into my stomach area, and Karai thankfully had no plans of taking it out...yet. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

Seeing a blurry Karai watch me and then sprint for the courtyard again, the world started going black, and I was praying it wasn't the last time I would close my eyes.

-Hannah's POV-

Being a shapeshifter is probably the only way we're getting out of this, but shifting into a bigger turtle isn't enough when I'm fighting by myself.
