When Leonardo woke up in that cell tied to the wall he thought of many ways to free himself, he was almost sure he could dislocate his wrists to put a hand through the shackle, it would be painful, but he could hold on. He could fight with one of his captors to ask them to release him when they came to check him, he could even try to negotiate with one of them... because they were going to go and check him, right?
They had to go or they would be horrible jailers.
After the roars there was silence, only broken by the worrying creaks in the walls and the sound of hurried footsteps going from one side to the other quickly. Unfortunately none of those steps stopped at his cell to inform him something or at least see that he was still alive... terrible service, 0/5 stars as Mikey used to say.
He sighed heavily when he thought about his little brother, and consequently the rest of his family, and wondered how they were doing, his mind still refused to remember how he had gotten there, his last memory was meditating, but surely his little brothers are worried, the sensei must also be dismayed by their absence... the lair must be chaos. He lets his head fall towards his chest, he has to hurry to escape from there and be able to give signs of life to his family before they go crazy with worry; Maybe he was exaggerating, in reality he is the one who always worries the most about his little brothers, there's a reason they called him mother hen, and for them it wasn't that important... maybe they even felt relieved that he wasn't at home . He denies, pushing those thoughts away, he knew his brothers, he knew that they loved him as much as he loved them, they had gone through bad times like families, but they were always there for each other, they would not forget him in that seedy cell. They would come for him, he just had to be patient.
A new, even more powerful roar shakes the walls around him, and to his horror, he can see a crack rip through the wall from floor to ceiling. The positive thing is that the crack loosened the hasp of the right chain which allowed him, after a long struggle, to free the chain and recover the mobility of his arm. Using the same chain, and at the cost of some misdirected blows at the beginning, he took advantage of the weakness of the wall to free his other arm; There would be bruises, but I was free.
Now the only thing left was the detail of getting out of the cell.
He heard commotion outside, more footsteps and screams in all directions, apparently the source of the roars was more problematic than they had considered and Leo began to find the situation funny, karma for them that they had him kidnapped.
He stayed listening through the metal door, perhaps he could get someone's attention and convince them to open the door for him, he didn't like the creaks that came from the old walls at all; For a long time he heard nothing but people running and screaming, no one stopped at his door long enough to catch his attention and he was starting to get frustrated. At that rate it was easier for him to wait for the wall to open than for someone to appear to get him out of there. He thought about calling, but he didn't want to give himself away yet.
Someone stopped at the door, an annoyingly familiar buzzing sound was heard through the metal, and the annoying voice of the scientist known as Brandon Roughman? He didn't really remember it well, well, that guy was outside and Leonardo was sure he could convince him, he was a genius, yes, but also a coward.
His mind was filled with images of the times they had to face him, the strange shape of his body, the humming of his wings, the annoyingness of his voice... he didn't notice when his body began to glow in a soft tone of blue, his mind was only focused on the memory of the fly man. Suddenly, the same sensation he had before losing consciousness came over him, only this time it did not fade but he let himself be enveloped by the sensation, by the warmth that burned in his chest... his eyes widened in surprise when he stopped. He was leaning against the door and almost fell to the ground when he became unstable. How did he get outside the cell? From the other side of the metal door he could hear Troxman yell in confusion and start punching demanding to be freed, but from what the young ninja could see, that wasn't going to happen anytime soon, no one was anywhere near there.
The next roar was heard nearby and was accompanied by the sound of electricity and the cry of pain from whatever they were holding prisoner. Looking to his right, the ninja in blue saw a hallway and at the end of it a metal door labeled as an exit, the escape route was clear and there were no guards around: a perfect escape, but... he didn't like it at all. The least bit left that creature in the hands of his heartless captors, who was involved with Shredder of all people. He debated between escaping and looking for help or following the sounds and checking what type of creature he was in, a glance could tell him if the being represented a danger to everyone and had to be eliminated or, on the contrary, it was a prisoner like him, who needed a rescue. Surely his family would understand why he didn't escape immediately in the first place.
Disguising himself among the shadows that plagued the hallways, Leonardo used his ninjitsu skills to reach, unseen, a rickety wooden door that was ajar. Another loud roar arising from within gave him the clue that he was on the right path. He opened the door carefully and slipped through another stone hallway, from whose ceiling a few pieces of stone fell that he preferred to ignore, he trusted that the building would hold out a little longer.
He reached an open gate that led to a staircase that led down to a stone pit where, tied with thick chains and surrounded by several robot guards, a huge turtle roared at its captors. He could see, standing to one side of the prisoner, Razhar and Fishface watching, at a suitable distance, the captive, who thrashed violently trying to free himself from the chains and roared at them with genuine fury. Leo could see how the fishman flinched with each roar and took a step back, but Bradford tried to appear stoic, although his bristly hair gave him away otherwise. It would be difficult to get close.
It was noted that Fishface retreated enough to be out of the range of vision of the mutant dog, which could allow him to be eliminated without the others present realizing it, except for the gigantic turtle that did not take its eyes off both captors, showing him its fangs. and growling at them in a clear threat. Leonardo could only hope that this was one of Angelo's brothers, although there were two left, and that the giant understood that he was a friend and not an enemy, he would prefer to get out of there alive to return home.
If only he could approach Xever unnoticed and from that position push Rahzar out of the way...if only he could switch places with Fishface...
He feels that warmth again in his chest, the same as when he left the cell... perhaps it was his own mystical power that somehow awakened in him and allowed him to leave the prison by changing places with Scritman. Perhaps if he concentrated he could repeat the feat, but this time thoroughly.
He fixed his cobalt blue eyes on the strange fishman and felt the heat in his chest increase. She clung to him, took a deep breath, and let the warmth of power envelop her body, accepting him as he was: part of him, of his family legacy. In amazement she saw how the soft blue light enveloped him and she laughed softly, now she understood Mikey and Donnie, it was exciting in a way that was difficult to explain. With a nervous smile she focused on the fish man and, an instant later, she found herself standing in the place previously occupied by the enemy, she did it, she did it, she was able to control the power and in a risky situation. Ha!
She heard Xever shout in amazement from where Leonardo was seconds ago and that caught the attention of the huge dog-man, who, seen up close, was quite bruised.
—What the hell are you doing there, Montes? - the martial artist asks with annoyance, the Brazilian simply looks at him with fear and points behind him. Rahzar turns around only to find himself face to face with the young mutant in blue, who smiles at him before knocking him unconscious with a well-placed blow to the head with the steel chains that he still carries in his arms. Without waiting for the former human to fall to the floor he runs towards the trapped turtle, knocking out the foot robots that are trying to stop him, the chains were a very good weapon.
The unknown turtle remained silent and watched him intently as he dispatched the enemies quickly. Apparently some of them had received blows from the giant because they were in very bad shape, Leo wondered if the wounds that Bradford was sporting were caused by the older mutant, but, upon taking a second look, many of them had been treated and bandaged. , were from a previous battle. He expected it to have been a humiliating and painful battle, the guy was a pretty unpleasant pain in the ass most of the time and he had it out for Mikey which made it even worse. He didn't like the way he looked at his little brother at all.
When the track was clear Leonardo turns to look at the chained mutant, and boy was he chained, at least a dozen thick chains surrounded the turtle's enormous body, his wrists were anchored to the floor and the same thing happened with his ankles, They were both bleeding because of how much the older one struggled trying to free himself. His eyes, surrounded by a faded scarf that was once red, followed his every movement with passive distrust.
— Hello... eh, Raphael I suppose? - The older man's look was deep and serious, the look of someone who has seen hell and is not up to shit - My name is Leonardo and I know who you are because your brothers have told me a lot about you - as he spoke he came closer step by step. step by step to the older mutant, the deep gaze was still fixed on him, analyzing every movement and, to Leonardo's surprise, a deep and dangerous growl rumbled in the older man's chest, the other Raphael did not trust him and was quite clear about it. Leo backed away, his heart beating fast and his instincts surging, his scales bristling and the desire to run almost taking over him, but he swallowed hard and forced himself to repeat the breathing exercises his master taught him until he died. He felt master of his mind again. The older turtle looked at him curiously, perhaps she was used to everyone running away from him, probably she saw Fishface and Rahzar backing away like the cowards they were and expected Leo to do the same; That made the younger man smile.
— I'm sorry, Raphie — the oldest raised an eyebrow — I'm not going to run away, I'll free you and we'll go out together so you can reunite with your family — the other's gaze lit up and Leo sighed, grateful that he could understand it — now let's see how...
"Careful back," the older mutant's rough and worn voice warned him a second before one of Fishface's metal legs hit his head and thanks to that warning he was able to dodge it, causing it to graze his cheek, leaving a painful cut on the skin. . It was still better than a bruise, he didn't want Donnie's scolding.
— Phenomena, we knew it had a relationship with you — the Brazilian continued trying to hit him with his fast legs, blows that Leonardo could only dodge. The chains passed and slowed down his movements, his wrists hurt, he was beginning to be in a bad position and things would get worse if he didn't think something quickly. Unfortunately the fish man seemed to realize Leo's situation and increased the speed of his attacks.
A soft warmth settled in the chest of the young man in blue, although at first he tried to ignore it, it grew in intensity until he could no longer stop paying attention to it and let it envelop him, so far that sensation has not caused him any harm.
He saw his skin glow again in that soft shade of blue and the image of him and the other Raphael exchanging places passed through his mind, if it worked before with Xever why wouldn't it work now? She focused on the image, let the idea dominate her mind, and just a second later she felt his body move through the air. When he realized he had changed places with the red major, the heavy chains that contained him began to fall around him and he had to dodge them so that they did not fall on top of him; When he was safe, he turned to look at the fight just at the moment when Montes gave a useless kick to the older man's scarred head and the latter returned the blow with his fist, sending him flying against a wall where he was left lying on the floor without help. move again.
"Oh my god, I have mystical powers," Leonardo let the emotion take over him and he jumped twice on the spot, barely containing the squeaks that escaped his throat. He'd never made sounds like that before, but he guessed his body and his overwrought mind let the animal side of him take control. His surprise was enormous when he received a soft purr from the older mutant in response.
"I'm happy for you, little one," the other Raph's voice was soft despite his wear and the look he gave him was kind. Angelo told them about how sweet his Raphael was at one point, but they all thought that his memory of him was distorted by nostalgia and affection. It was a pleasant surprise to realize that this was not the case.
— I think it's a very useful skill, I have to show my brothers that I'm this cool — a childish giggle escaped him, he really couldn't remember the last time he had felt this excited, his life was almost always kept between the stress and fear of taking care of his brothers, of not returning from a mission, of making a mistake... in those moments he could only think that he had to be perfect, follow his teacher's teachings, not make mistakes, not lose. in focus, no... but in that second, in that moment alone with the Raphael from another world, he could afford to be moved by what was happening — although for that we must get out of here.
—Will it be good to leave them here? - following Major Leonardo's gaze he sees that both Bradford and Montes are unconscious on the floor under a roof that looks very unstable - I think the building is about to fall - well, weren't those guys holding him prisoner? Deep breath
— We can leave them somewhere safe but — he approaches the older man — I'm not going to take them out of here, let them take care of it — the older Raphael nods accepting the younger one's order and Leo smiles gratefully, he wouldn't know how to face the huge mutant if his attitude was like that of his own brother in red. The ninja in blue watches as the burly mutant carefully picks up the two enemies from the ground and looks with regret at the footbots distributed - they are robots, it is not worth getting them out of here, let Shredder spend money making more - deep laughter The largest one floods the pit and they begin to walk towards the stairs - you are very kind.
— Where I come from we tried to save as many as we could, I kept that idea — Leonardo and he climb the stairs, the oldest carrying the other mutants on his shoulders like two bags of sand, talking. Leonardo felt lighter in the company of the adult, the older man's aura transmitted confidence and security, something that he normally did not feel since he was the one who had to transmit it to his younger brothers, he was good and warm - I suppose that since you met my brothers, they They talked about our situation - it did not go unnoticed by Leo how the eldest avoided the topic of the apocalypse and, thinking about it, the other two brothers also responded evasively, with the exception of Angelo's story, they did not have much more knowledge about the terrible event that they had to suffer.
— They have told us something — the one in blue responds — we didn't want to push to know everything, you know, it was difficult and we prefer that you relax before reliving the hard past — I wasn't going to tell him that he was a little afraid either. Asking something that would make Von Ryan angry, you could tell he was someone you didn't want to bother with too many questions.
——That's very kind of you — the soft smile that the adult Raphael showed him was answered by one of the minor's own. She felt that they could get along well, being the older ones gave them a bond that the younger ones couldn't understand.
They went up the last flight of stairs before going out into the hallway that led to the door, from there Leo had an idea of how to get out and, once outside, communicate with his family so that they would come look for them. He hoped to give Raphael's brothers a big surprise and, hopefully, the older one would know how to control, even a little, Von Ryan. He would be very grateful to you for that.
—Where do you think you're going? — the menacing man's voice stopped the conversation between both ninjas and they turned towards the door where, standing menacingly, a huge tiger man was blocking their way — it was lucky that Master Shredder sent me first to check on the prisoners —behind the mutant you can see at least a couple of dozen footbots—it will be an honor for me to introduce the foolish leader of the turtles to my lord and you—he observes the older Raphael with arrogance, although with all his height he does not care. It reached the shoulder of the one with the red scarf - you are new, interesting - an unpleasant smile crosses the feline's face and reveals its fangs; In response, Raph leaves the two unconscious mutants on the floor and sighs.
— Raph doesn't like bullies — says the oldest, moving his shoulders — except those who threaten children — the body of the snapping turtle is surrounded by a semi-transparent red aura that takes the same shape as the ninja in red, increasing in size. of this almost double, so much so that he has to bend down so that his head does not touch the ceiling of the hallway - I suggest you leave - Raphael bumps his fists and red sparks explode around him. Leonardo can see, with satisfaction, how the weretiger takes a frightened step back before giving the order to his robot soldiers to advance and attack them.
Leonardo felt at a disadvantage, he did not have his katanas and there was little he could do with the chains tied to his arms, apart from the pain he felt from the rubbing of the shackle on his wrists. If Donatello continued like this, he would have many bad words to say to her.
No one wants to be on Donnie's bad side when he decides you got hurt like that just because you're an idiot. And Leo speaks from experience.
After a few seconds he realizes that he has nothing to worry about, in reality Raphael is taking care of everything, destroying the soldiers who try to get close with his strong hands and covering them with his body when one is too close to hurt him; It was like having a huge wall around him that protects him from all evil and both Leonado and his tired and sore arms are grateful for it.
Not even three minutes passed when the robot bodies of the foot soldiers were reduced to a pile of charred iron around the two unharmed turtles. Tiger Claw's hair stood on end. Despite the snapping turtle's demeanor, he did not expect it to actually be such a powerful being. He was used to the pace of the younger turtles, those he could intimidate with a few robot soldiers. and exhaust to
