TMNT RPG - Chapter 1

[DarthRaphael]

This was a day like most other days. It has been raining non-stop the past few days and has made the sewers extremely wet, and the stench picks up to the point of nauseum.

The guys have just sit down to the evening pizza, enjoying a few laughs. There has been an errie quiet in the city which has allowed for lots of play time. They have even slacked a little on their training, but Master Yoshi dosen't seem to notice.

Among all the happiness, there is a feeling that they all share that something is not right with the world. Trouble is brewing somwhere. Where and when it will strike are the only questions.

This is where we pick up our story......

[Peanut]

Dudes...Have you wondered why it's been so quiet lately? I'm sure not complaining cause I've got the chance to scarf some mondo amounts of pizza but it still feels weird.

[Peanut]

DUDES!

[Peanut]

*As Shredder ponders one of the many Technodrome screens lights up displaying people or mutants that have helped him at one time or another. Leatherhead lights up and is shown man handling all 4 turtles at once.*

[Kali]

Leo: Get it yourself. And keep it on the news Mike. Something important might come on.

(OOC: Is it safe to assume we're in the cartoon universe?)

[Peanut]

Awwwwww man!
*Mike throws down the TV guide*

*Mike pulls on a trench coat and hat, then walks out*

(OOC: We should put all of the universes together)

[chrome_dome]

Leatherhead: Ol' Leatherhead never that he'd be stuck down hea wit' dem turtles by gumbo. Ever since I met dat der Rat King I've been stuck down in dis here city.

(OOC: See Leatherhead meets The Rat King)

*Leatherhead hears footsteps*

*Leatherhead whips around*

[chrome_dome]

*Leatherhead looks at Chrome Dome*

Leatherhead: Watchu' say? Shredda ain't gonna like this? Well I'll tell you what I ain't likin' Mr. Bucket. And thats YOU!

*Leatherhead dives at Chrom Dome and pins him to the ground*

Leatherhead: Nobody, And ol' Leatherhead means NOBODY, talks to me with demands! I'm thristy for blood bucket boy, but I guess oil is good enough!

*Leatherhead bites down on Chrome Dome's head*

[DarthRaphael]

--Meanwhile, back in the sewers, it's 11 0'clock, do you know where your villans are?......

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead lets go*

Leatherhead: Well Mr. Bucket you've gone and got your self a deal by gumbo! You won't regret it I garoooontee!

*Leather shakes Chrome Dome's hand. Just a few steps away....*

Mike (Whisper) : Aw man! Leatherhead and Chrome Dome! I gotta get back and tell the dudes. I guess that new surfing flick will have to take a rain check.

*Mike runs off back to the lair*

[chrome_dome]

back at the technodrome...

shredder: ok here's the deal you big lizard, were to rob the new bank at midnight, can you comprehend that?

chrome dome: hey how come bepop and rocksteady aren't helping like usual?

shredder: they went on vacation.

chrome dome: where?

shredder: argh! that doesnt matter! anyway ill lend you a few weapons leatherhead so that you can actually stand a chance against thoughs turtles.

[Kali]

Leo glares at Raph. "Will you cool it, it's April."
He snatches the remote away from Raph before he can change it again.

[DarthRaphael]

--It's 11:56

Raph: Well, I'm going to bed. I've had enough fun for one day.

Don: Good Night guys. I''l finish those new communicators I've been working on tomorrow.

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead glares at Shredder*

Leatherhead: Ol' Leatherhead don't be needin' no weapons but I still take em' anyway since dem Turtles is tougher than raw hide snake gumbo, I garonte!

*Leatherhead takes a few weapons*

Leatherhead: You won't be sorry!

Meanwhile in the turtles lair:

Mike: DUDES!! I just saw Leatherhead and Chrome Dome making a deal! They shoke hands and everything. I don't know what's going down but you can be sure it's not cool!

[Kali]

Leonardo grabs his katana. "Where are they Mike?"

[chrome_dome]

shredder: now head up to the surface quick! the hour is upon us!

chrome dome and leather head climb into a module and leave for the surface.

meanwhile at the bank

policeman: *drinks coffee* ahh man this i can tell is going to be one boring night....

all of the sudden the module reaches the surface the policeman jumps back and spills his coffee

chrome dome: surrender now! him and leatherhead point their weapons at him and he runs away

chrome dome: man this is going to be a piece of cake!

[Kali]

April appears on the TV screen. "I'm April O'Neil, reporting in front of the newly opened bank, which seems to be being robbed!"

The screen goes all staticy and turns off.

Leo sighs, "Nevermind, I have a fair idea where they are."

[Peanut]

Mike: THAT'S IT! Their at the new bank! Let's take the Turtle Van!

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Michaelangelo on 2001-12-12 00:19 ]</font>

[chrome_dome]

chrome dome: we've hit the jackpot!

they look around the room with money

chrome dome: quick throw all you can in the module, we dont have much time, the turtles will be here soon

[Peanut]

Leatherhead: By gumbo I've never seen some much money in my entire life I tell you!

Gaurd: STOP!

*Leatherhead pulls out his gun and blasts away at the gaurd turning him into shreds of skin and bone*

Leatherhead: I be liking this here gun by gumbo!

[chrome_dome]

chrome dome: dammit leather brain! you'll attract attention, now grab thoughs bags.

they pile several bags into the module

i think that should do us, this will be enough to last us for years.

[Kali]

Leonardo drives the Turtle Van to the bank and skids to a stop across two parking spots.
"Hope we don't get a ticket for double parking."

(OOC: Who's with me? Did Raph and Don really go to bed?)

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead turns around after putting everything in the module and sees police gathering outside the bank*

Leatherhead: I done told you I had a hankering for some blood!

*Leatherhead walks to the door and kicks them open*

Officer: Drop your weapons and put your hands above your head...and your tail.

*Leather head grins*

Leatherhead: Oh you be funny by gumbo!

Officer: OPEN FIRE!

*Leatherhead pulls out his guns and begins to blast away at the police while diving behind a pillar. He drops the guns then dives into the crowd of police ripping and tearing them to pieces*

[chrome_dome]

chrome dome talks to shredder on the communicator.

chrome dome: shredder we've got enough money to get us through for years!

shredder: exellent, now bring it back to the technodrome, before thoughs turtles foil the plan!

[Peanut]

(OOC: I guess just me and you)

Mike: HOLY COW! What's going on!

*Mike pulls out his chucks*

Mike: We could be in for some trouble Dude!

[chrome_dome]

chrome dome: enough dammit, shredder want's us back at the technodrome, the faster we get there the faster you can get your money and leave.

chrome dome starts to get into the module

[Kali]

"There!" Leo points a katana towards the module. "Don't let them get away!"

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead pulls an arm from his mouth and looks back*

Leatherhead: You've got a poin...

*Mike dives out from behind a car and kicks Leatherhead in the face*

Mike: Chill out home boy!

Leatherhead: Oh boy...I'm gonna enjoy this!

*Leatherhead lunges at Mike but Mikes jumps up and cracks him over the head with his chucks*

Mike: Come on big, dumb, and ugly! Hit me with your best shot!

Leatherhead: Alright turtle!

*Leatherhead fake punches then swings his tail and levels Mike*

[chrome_dome]

pulls out the communicator

shredder we got company

shredder: dammit, hurry up and send the module back to the lair, and finish off the turtles!

chrome dome: right! setting module on auto pilot

the module starts up and begins to move

[Kali]

"That's leaves you to me," Leo told Chrome Dome.

[Peanut]

*Mike gets up and shakes his head. Leatherhead grabs him by the shell and holds him in the air*

Mike: Leo I could use some help here dude!

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Michaelangelo on 2001-12-12 00:35 ]</font>

[chrome_dome]

if its a fight your looking for, then come and get it

chrome dome blasts toward leo with his laser gun

[Peanut]

*Mike starts kicking his legs and swinging his chucks but Leatherhead smashes him through the bank wall*

Leatherhead: Turtle gumbo! Sounds good!

[chrome_dome]

haha by now the money should be half way to shredder by now! you lose turtles!

chrome dome dashes away into the pit the module had made.

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead looks back at Chrome Dome*

Leatherhead: You be a lucky one son! Next time I see you I be rippin' out your spleen!

*Leatherhead tosses Mike into a car cutting his head open*

Leatherhead: I be a comin' Mr.Bucket

*Leatherhead jumps into the hole*

[Kali]

(OOC: sorry, I had to restart my comp!)

Leo thinks about going after them, but sees that Mike needs his help.

"You hurt, bro?"

[chrome_dome]

back at the technodrome

shredder: ah yes! this is stupendous!

chrome dome: we were lucky enough to get away from the turtles

shredder: oh who cares about you guys, we got the money thats all that matters!

as for leather head....

shredder opens an air vent and chrome dome pushes leatherhead into it.

chrome dome: that'll send him back to the sewers!

shredder: now there's no way the turtles will ever get the money back! hahahaha

[Peanut]

*Mike looks up at Leo*

Mike: Leo...I don't feel so good.....

*Mike passes out*

Meanwhile....

Leatherhead: Why those two timing punks! Ol' Leatherhead be teachin' them a lesson or two!

*Leatherhead jams his claws into the vent and begins to climb upwards back towards the main control room of the Technodrome*

[DarthRaphael]

---back at the lair, Leo wraps up Mike's wounds.

Raph and Don: What happened, and why didn't you wake us up?!?!

This ends my posts for the night. Feel free to write my characters in where needed. Have fun all!

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead busts open the vent and looks at Shredder and Chrome Dome talking*

Leatherhead: You be thinkin' you can get rid of me?

*Leatherhead smiles showing his blood stained teeth*

[Peanut]

Mike: Dudes...I...I don't feel so good...I can hardly breath...

*Mikes eyes begin to shudder then he passes out again*

[chrome_dome]

back at the technodrome...

shredder: i dont care how much it is, listen i have the money to pay for it!

builder: its going to take a lot more then money to satisfy me.

shredder: fine, take as many lunch breaks as you like!

[Machias Banshee]

(At the lair, we see Splinter suddenly come into the living room as Leo is leaning Mike against his shoulder.)

Sp: What happened to Michaelangelo? Quickly, bring him into the infirmary. The cut on his head will need stitches.

Now, Leonardo, tell me what happened.

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Machias Banshee on 2001-12-12 03:20 ]</font>

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead runs out of the vent and decapitates the builder*

Leatherhead: He won't be a buildin' nothin' for a long time I garoooooonte! An' you Shredda ain't gonna be doin' much for awhile either!

*Leatherhead grabs Shredder and Chrome Dome and begins to squeeze them*

[chrome_dome]

shreddder: argghh, cant breath...

chrome dome uses his eye lasers and burns leatherhead in the arm

leatherhead lets go and shredder quickly reaches for a weapon

shredder: now listen up, you will do as i say, unless you want to become crocodile soup!

chrome dome keeps a close eye on leatherhead

suddenly a mysterious buzzing noise could be heard over the dimension x screen.

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead turns his head and looks at the screen*

Leatherhead: What dat be tin man?

[Kali]

(OOC: Okay, RP 101! FIRST RULE: NO CONTROLLING OTHERS CHARACTERS. You say Splitner's lines, than wait for others to reply. The only exception is if players are free, like Shredder, or Raph and Don (at the moment). Not to be mean, but that's an important rule. I'll let that Leo line slide 'cause you're new at this and it dosen't matter.)

"Well, you see Master, Chrome Dome and Leatherhead robbed the new bank. We got there too late, and with too few numbers." He glares at Don and Raph. "Mike got thrown through a brick wall."

(OOC:I'll try to remember that!)

SP:And where were you two at the time?

[chrome_dome]

baxter: bzzz bzz it'zz me baxter!

shredder: blast it baxter go away, your presense is not needed!

baxter: shredder shut your big trap

baxter notices the money

baxter: go on a little raid did we, hmmm?

[Peanut]

Mike: Guys....Don?...Raph?...WHERE WERE YOU TWO! I ALMOST GOT KILLED CAUSE OF THIS!

*Mike puts his hand on his head and fells the stiches*

Mike: Seems ok! I'm outta here!

*Mike gets up and storms out of the lair and into the darkness of the night sewers*

Back at the Technodrome

*Leatherhead looks at Baxter*

Leatherhead: This place be too weird for me! I'm gettin' outta hea!

*Leatherhead runs to the vent and jumps back down*

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Michaelangelo on 2001-12-12 01:12 ]</font>

[Kali]

"Uh, we were... I mean, we..." Don sighed. "We were asleep sensei."

They looked up at Mike's outburst. Leo smacked his forehead. "Let's bring him back. He's in no condition to leave!"

(OOC: Sorry I sounded so bossy in that last post, but as I said, it's important.)

[Machias Banshee]

Sp: No, I will go Speak to Michaelangelo.

(Splinter dons cloak and leaves the lair, leaving Leo to his two brothers.)

[Peanut]

*As Leatherhead lands back in the sewer who did he happen to run into?*

Mike: Oh man. This just isn't my day!

Leatherhead: You can say that again!

*Mike tries to run but is grabbed by Leatherhead*

Leatherhead: You in fo' some big time poundin' I garoooonteee!

Mike: DUDES! HELP!!

*Mike pulls out his chucks and cracks Leatherhead in the snout. He raises his hand to it and feels a trickle of blood*

Leatherhead: Now...YOU DIE!

*Leatherhead slams Mike to the wall and raises his claws above his head*

[Machias Banshee]

(Splinter suddenly appears and knocks Leatherhead upside the head, knocking him unconscious. Then, walks over to help Mike up.)

Sp:Michaelangelo, are you alright?

[Kali]

Leo looks to his brothers and shrugs, not knowing what he should do.

Raph, draws his sai. "I'm goin' after 'em. I ain't leavin' my little brother out there like that. You losers can stay here if you want."

[Peanut]

Mike: Master! I'm sorry I did that I just...WATCH OUT!

*Leatherhead raises from the ground and wraps his hands around Splinters entire body*

Leatherhead: It ain't that easy mousy!

[Machias Banshee]

(Splinter struggles to escape from the giant alligator, and as a last resort, bites leatherhead's hand)



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Machias Banshee on 2001-12-12 01:26 ]</font>

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead looks down at Splinter's hand*

Leatherhead: You do know I'm an alligator right? I got da toughest skin around by gumbo!

*Leatherhead slaps Splinter across the face*

Leatherhead: There ain't nothin' you can do!

[Kali]

Leo steps in front of Raphael. "No, Master Splinter told us to stay here."

Raph got right up in his face. "YOU can stay here and play the good little student, Leo, I'm leaving."

He pushes past Leo and stormed out of the lair.

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead grabs Splinter's head and starts to squeeze it*

[Kali]

Raphael jumps out of the shadows and lands on Leatherhead's back. "Let him go you overgrown hand bag!"

[Machias Banshee]

(Splinter quickly grabs one of the large alligator's fingers and bends it backward, dislocating it.)

SP:Do you think you can handle that?

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead stumbles back and begins to shake*

Leatherhead: You stupid rat!

*Leatherhead bats Splinter against the wall*

Leatherhead: Now for you!

*Leatherhead tries to grab Raph but he's to quick*

Leatherhead: I'll get you!

[Kali]

"Ha, you couldn't catch a cold!" Raph rushes forward and dives inbetween Leatherhead's legs at the last second, trying to get between his sensei and the mutant alligator.

(Splinter struggles to upright himself, and quickly realizes that he cannot seem to locate Mike.)

SP:Oh, my head. Ow. hmm, where is Michaelangelo?

[Peanut]

Mike: Splinter! I'm over here!

*Mike waves his hands to Splinter as he uses the wall to hold him up*

Leatherhead: You damn turtle! I'll whoop you good by gumbo!

*Leatherhead swings around but misses Raph leaving his head wide open*

[Kali]

Back to the shadows... Don and Leo are with Mike.

[Machias Banshee]

(Splinter joins them in the shadows)

SP:It is good to see you here. We must assist Raphael, quickly!

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Machias Banshee on 2001-12-12 01:40 ]</font>

[Kali]

(OOC: Damn it, I hate it when messages get mixed. Okay, everyone's in the shadow's except for Raph and Leatherhead.)

[Peanut]

Leatherhead: Hold still you little...Aw no! Not more!

[Kali]

Leo and Don step out to help their brother. "You're outnumbered now, Leatherhead."

[Peanut]

Leatherhead: But I got a plan turtles!

*Leatherhead jumps over all of them and grabs Mike*

Leatherhead: I could kill him with one hit! And yous all know it by gumbo! I be gettin' outta hea now! An' I be takin' this little fellow with me!

*Leatherhead runs off into the shadows carrying Mike*

[Kali]

"We have to go after him!" Leo cried.

"But Mike..." Don argued.

"That dude'll crush him if we DON'T rescue him," Raphael shouted back.

[Peanut]

Mike: DUDES! YOU GOTTA HELP ME!!

Leatherhead: You better be shuttin' your trap boy!

Mike: Go suck a lemon dude!

Leatherhead: How about you suck the wall?

Mike: I'll stop...

Leatherhead: Good!

*Leatherhead keeps running*

[Kali]

Leo looked to Splinter.

[Machias Banshee]

Sp: We have a better chance of rescuing Michaelangelo if we do not chase them. Your brother is critically injured, and chasing after them could have dire consequences.
I have a feeling that there is something ominous about this...as though this might have been planned.

[Kali]

Raph crossed his arms. "So what do we do? Go home and wait for the ransom note?"

Leo shot Raph a look. He didn't like leaving Mike with Leatherhead anymore than Raph did, but he did trust Splinter's judgement.

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead jumps out of the sewer into the busy streets. A car runs into him but he shoves it out of the way*

Mike: What are you gonna do with me dude?

Leatherhead: I'm gonna use you as bait!

Mike: Great! Well what if I decided to do this?

*Mike pulls his chucks from his belt with his foot and slams them into Leatherheads under side*

Leatherhead: OOOOOOOH! MY GUMBO!

*Leatherhead lets go of Mike and Mike crawls off into an alley and hides under some paper*

Mike (Whisper) : You gotta save me dudes.

[Kali]

"What do you propose, sensei?" Leo asked.

(OOC: Dudes, can we break soon? It's getting kinda late, and we can always pick up in the morning.)

[Machias Banshee]

SP: Actually, it can be the opposite. I can do some 'soul searching', and attempt to locate him. Since they know that we did not follow them, they will not expect us to, 'drop in for a visit'.

(OOC:Yes, definitely. I gotta get up for studying tomorrow.)

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Machias Banshee on 2001-12-12 02:04 ]</font>

[Peanut]

(OOC: Yeah I think that might be a good idea)

[Kali]

(OOC: Okay, bed time! See you guys in the morning. (Where I will give my control of Raph and Don back to DarthRaphael.))

[Machias Banshee]

(OOC:Sleep well)

[DarthRaphael]

Raphael: I can't wait around here knowing that my bro is out there with that big goon. I'm going to look for him, with or without you guys.

Don: Wait Raphael, come back!! What will Master Splinter say!?

Raph storms out of the sewer on a personal quest to save Mike. He has a big score to settle with Leatherhead and can't wait for the chance to shove a Sai right through his skull.

He continues on to the place where they had their last confrontation. He follows the path Leatherhead took and spots a very small trail of blood, probably from poor Mike's head. Raph continues on this path. The blood stops and forms a small pool off to one side. He looks up and spots a manhole cover. "Jackpot" Raph says to himself.

(OOC - I won't be able to post much untill late, say 9PM. If it is necessary to continue the story, write Raph and Don in again. Very good job so far.)

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: DarthRaphael on 2001-12-12 11:58 ]</font>

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead runs into the shadows of the city and leans against a wall*

Leatherhead: That there turtles ain't gonna get the best of ol' Leatherhead by gumbo! I'm a gonna find you boy and once I do I'll be rippin' you to shreds I garoooonte!

Meanwhile at the other end of the alley...

Mike (whisper) : Oh dude...not him again! I can hardly stand but I've gotta get out of here somehow. My bod is really aching though and I feel real tired.

*Mike lifts his hand to his head and feels the stiches busted opened. He begins to poke around his body and finds yet more cuts and holes*

Mike (whisper) : I have no choice. If I'm gonna die...I'll go down fighting like a turtle!

*Mike jumps out from behind the boxes and pulls out his chucks to face Leatherhead*

Mike: Let's do this hand bag!

Leatherhead: Oh I be happy to oblige I garooonte!

[Machias Banshee]

(Splinter comes from his study. He has a worried look on his face.)

SP:My students, I have located Michaelange- Where is Raphael? Oh,I take it he went after them. I will deal with him when the time comes.
Nevertheless, I have located your brother up above. They are not far, but Michaelangelo is in dire need of help. They are in an alley two blocks from here to the northwest.You must hurry, my sons.

(OOC: I am going to have a difficult time getting a chance to write in over the next two days, so either someone can use my character for me, or just let him be.)

[Kali]

(OOC: We'll just let him be.)

Leonardo stopped cleaning his sword. "Let's go Don, before we have to patch up two brothers."

[DarthRaphael]

Raphael emerges from the sewers, still follwing the blood trail. He is forced to make some quick maneuvers around traffic, but makes it to the streets safely. He leans up against a building to get his bearings and to figure out which way to go next. He hears some loud talking and what sounds like chains clanging. Naw, could it be that he found Mike already?

Meanwhile in the sewers Don and Leo are following the directions Master Splinter gave them.

Don: These directions are taking us to the place where we last fought that leathery monster. Do you think we'll find Mike in time Leo?

*Mike sees his breath in the air. It's freezing out and the cold is begining to make his cuts sting.*

Mike: I'm not running any more...

Leatherhead: That might not be such a wise decision boy. Ol' Leatherhead is gonna make you pay for hittin' my gumbo!

*Mike spins his chucks around on his finger then raises his hand and motions for Leatherhead to bring it. Leatherhead dives at Mike claws first. Mike jumps into the air and cracks the chucks down over Leatherheads snout. The both land on their feet and turn around. Leatherhead smirks then pulls out one of Shredders guns*

Mike: Damn...

*Leatherhead begins blasting and Mike tries to dodge all the flying lasers but gets caught on the leg. He tumbles sideways and lands shell down on the pavment. He uses a can to get to his feet and stares at Leatherhead. Leatherhead stares right back.*

Mike: Cowabunga dude!

Leatherhead: What you be sayin' turtle?

*Leatherhead turns around to see something shiny heading towards his face*

[DarthRaphael]

Leatherhead quickly falls to his feet after catching a Sai right between the eyes. Raph had found where they were fighting and leaped into the air and caught Leatherhead off guard.

Raph: Take that you poor excuse for a handbag!! That should teach you to mess with my Bro!!

Leatherhead squints as the blood runs down his face and into his eyes.

Leatherhead: You're gonna pay for that, by gumbo!

[Peanut]

Mike: RAPH!

*Mike makes his way to Raph slowly. Just as Mike is about to reach out his arms Leatherhead jumps to his feet knocking Raph and Mike away. Raph lands on his feet. Mike attempts to but quickly feels his ankle colapse and he falls to the pavment*

Leatherhead: You didn't just do that to old Leatherhead did you boy?

[Kali]

Leo looked back at Don. "We have to."
He stopped under a ladder and pointed up. "This is where we go topside."
They manage to make it out of traffic, and find their brothers fighting against Leatherhead.
"Mike! Raph!"

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead turns his head to see Leo and Don*

Leatherhead: I sure be gettin' tired of you four!

[Kali]

Leo pulled out his katana. "Then maybe it's time we put you to bed." Then he charged.

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead snaps his head around to make sure Raph and Mike aren't moving then turns to face Leo. He jumps forward and grabs the katana with his hand*

Leatherhead: Guess what boy. You gonna DIE!

[Kali]

Leo tried to pull his katana away, but Leatherhead kept his grip on it. He sliced Leatherhead's wrist with his other blade.

He saw Don out of the corner of his eye, making his way towards Mike and Raph.

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead pulls his wrist away in pain and without think his other hand causing the katana to make a deep cut through his tough skin. He swings his tail and knocks Leo to the ground. He jerks his head around and sees Don. Leatherhead dives at him from behind and pins him to the ground*

[DarthRaphael]

Don: Get off my shell!!!

[Peanut]

Leatherhead: I'm gonna tear you apart son!

[Kali]

Leo shook his head and slowly sat up. He took one look at Leatherhead pounding on his brother and headed in.

He didn't go two steps before he felt the pain in his ribs.

"Ow, musta hurt something." He threw himself against Leatherhead, pushing him off Don.

[Peanut]

*Leatherhead jumps from the ground and claws at Leo. He could see the look on his face. He knew something was wrong. Leatherhead smiled...for a second. Then came a blast. He looked down to see blood pouring from his mid-section. He turned his head slightly and saw Mikey sitting in the shadows holding his gun*

Mike: Turtle Power dude!

[DarthRaphael]

Raph : Good Shot Mikey!!! He looks good in red.

[Kali]

Leo stood to the side, breathing heavily. He really didn't like guns.

"Mike, put the gun down."

[Peanut]

Mike: Dude don't get so uptight! I just saved our lives. I think I might carry this around for awhile.

[Kali]

"Absolutely not!" Leo yelled. He used his blade to cut the barrel of the gun, rendering it useless. "Let's go home. We need to re-stitch your wounds."

[DarthRaphael]

Back at the lair, the boys in green tend to their wounds.

[Kali]

Leo took a deep breath and cringed. He looked around at his brothers. "We really have been slacking off. As soon as we're all healed we're going to start training again, double time to make up for our downtime."

[DarthRaphael]

Raph: Even I will agree to that Leo. I don't want to have this happen again.

Don: I think we ALL agree with you, right Michaelangelo?

[Kali]

Leo looked expectantly at Mike.

Mike: I agree dude. I've never been taken by someone like that. And of all people that redneck Leatherhead! Sorry if I caused you dudes trouble...this really is my fault.

[Kali]

Leo smiled. "Then we're agreed. We start training again." He winced and placed his hand on his chest. "After resting up."

He placed a hand on Mike's shoulder. "Forget it Mike, I think this is the wake up call we needed."

(OOC: There, all clean again! My fault. I must have been REALLY tired when I read your post, Raph. It makes perfect sense now.)

[Peanut]

Mike: Totally dudes. So what do ya say we get some pizza compadre's? I'm mucho hungry!

[Machias Banshee]

(Splinter puts a hand on Mike's shoulder.)

SP:I believe you should get some rest,first.

(OOC:Glad to be back! one final down, two to go! :grin:)

[DarthRaphael]

Don: You know what, I'm tired too. I'm going to bed. I didn't even finish the new communicators yet! So much to do.....

Raph: I think I'll curl up with an old flick and sleep here on the couch. Later guys.

[Kali]

"'Night," Leo replied, heading back to his room.

[Machias Banshee]

(Splinter bids goodnight to his students, and starts to head for his study. He had noticed Leonardo wincing and clutching his chest, so he knocks on his son's door lightly, and opens it.)

SP: Leonardo, are you alright? I can see you are having some difficulties with something.

[Kali]

Leonardo looked up at his sensei. "It's nothing, Master. I think I just bruised a few ribs. I'm sure I'll be fine after some rest."

[Machias Banshee]

SP:We will see. If you are not better by tomorrow, I want you to have Donatello check you, and if need be, sit on the sidelines for practice. You do not want to risk getting injured anymore if your ribs are cracked.

*Leatherheads eyes open and he looks around. He could feel a large amount of pain on the right side of his thigh. Leatherhead drops his hand down and feel the scar. He gets to his feet and searches around the shadows*

Leatherhead: I think I be headin' to Florida I garontee!

*Leatherhead limps off into the night to find a boat to stow away to Flordia*

[Kali]

(OOC: Just a thought. Should we start a new chapter/thread? The guys won't be totally healed, but they'll be a little better. And we can do a different story with a different bad guy. It just feels like this has ended. Just my opinion.)

[Peanut]

(OOC: Yeah good idea)

[Machias Banshee]

(OOC:Sounds good. Maybe we should ask the others too. :smile:)

[Peanut]

(OOC: I don't think they're here)

[Machias Banshee]

(OOC: So what do we do?)

[Peanut]

(OOC: Kali make a new chapter!)

[Machias Banshee]

(OOC:Yeah!)

[Kali]

(OOC: Okay, fine! I will, geez...)

[Peanut]

(OOC: good job!)

[Machias Banshee]

(OOC:cool beans!)

[Kali]

(OOC: Go! Play!)
