He knew it was coming, he didn't have to look up from the book he was reading. Leo reached out and caught the ball that was heading for his head without even looking up. Then he looked up and Dennis, Amy and, not surpisingly, Mikey were trying to sneak out of the living area. "I guess our training today didn't wear you guys out enough. What have you been told about playing ball in here?"
Raph came walking in from the kitchen and smacked Mikey on the back of the head, lightly of course he didn't want to acciently hurt his little brother again. "Good way to set an example." then he kept on walking to Donnie's lab.
"Oww. Ok, sorry geez."
Leo just shook his head. "Go play ball in the playroom. We didn't make you guys that big room for it not to get used."
"Cmon, Uncle Mikey lets play dodgeball!" Dennis said.
"Yeah! You be on my team!"
"No I asked him to play. He's on my team!"
"But I asked him to be on my team so he's on my team."
"He's a boy like me so he is on my team."
Leo just chuckled as they moved out of the living area and into the big open room the turtles had built for them to play in.
Vicky came in carrying Mir. She had just given the baby girl a bath."What was all that about." she asked as she sat down on the couch next to him and he wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"The three children were playing ball in here."
She chuckled. "Mikey seems to be feeling better."
"He always did heal quick. I think he's getting cabin fever though, he's been cooped up for three days. Donnie won't even let him ride his skateboard."
"That changes today, Leo." Donnie said as he and Raph came out of the lab. "He can start going out again."
"Thank god." Raph said "Give him one more day cooped up in here and he's going to bring the lair down on our heads."
"What have you guys been working on? Haven't seen much of you the last two days." Leo asked them.
"Nothing." came out of two mouths.
Leo and Vicky exchanged an amused glance. They were obviously hiding something. "Nothing huh," Leo said "and it took you all that time? Must be a really big nothing."
"It's on a need to know basis." Raph said "And you-"
"Don't need to know. I got it" Leo finished. "So, Donnie, did you ever check out that key card? Or were you to busy playing super spy builder with Raph."
"Pfft I checked that out in the first ten minutes of getting home that night."
"And why didn't you tell me?"
"You didn't ask."
Vicky started laughing as Leo gave his brother the 'I'm going to hurt you.' stare. Apparently her laughing was contagious because Mir started to laugh too. "Now look what you did. Turning my own daughter against me."
"Oh, I dunno. I think she is catching on pretty quick what a silly goof her dad is." Raph said.
"Your not helping."
"I wasn't trying too."
Suddenly there was a screeching sound coming from Donnie's lab. Donnies eyes got wide. "Perimeter alarm!" He turned and bolted to his lab.
Leo was off of the couch in an instant and ran to follow him. "Raph get Mikey. Sensei, Vicky take the kids to the bunker, stay in there until we come and get you."
Splinter rose from the chair he had been sitting in and went to open the secret trap door. Donnie had installed a bunker shortly after finding out that Vicky was pregnant. Since there were now idividuals under their care that couldn't fight off an intrusion they felt safer having the bunker to protect Vicky and the kids.
Vicky went to get the kids from the playroom.
Leo followed Donnie to the moniters in the lab. They didn't see anything at first then Leo saw a shadow cross the screen on one of the cameras. "Donnie there." he pointed to the screen.
"Sector 3."
By now Raph and Mikey had joined them in the lab. "They are in the bunker." Raph told Leo.
Leo looked at his brothers. "Lets go."
Quietly they made their way through the tunnels. They made not a sound, there was no bantering or joking. The only expression on those faces was grim determination. Something had strayed to close to their home and if it was a threat it needed to be dealt with. They arrived in the area Leo had seen the shadow on the moniter. They took to the deepst shadows and moved not making a sound, following the direction the shadow went.
They came upon a large tunnel intersection. It was a circular tunnel about one hundred feet in diameter with numerous tunnels meeting here. Whoever, or whatever, could have went in any direction. Leo held up a hand. The others sensed it more than saw it and they stopped. Quietly they stood, motionless, listing for the slightest sound. Then there came a sound from one of the tunnels to their right. Leo motioned and they moved out listing for it to come again so they could pinpoint exactly which tunnel it came from. There it was again...footsteps. Leo motioned them forward and they followed him into the tunnel, swiftly, now with weapons ready, following the sound of footsteps.
Once again they ran into an intersection, this one a small four way. Leo halted them once again and they listened. Left this time and once again they moved out. This tunnel had ledges and Leo motioned them to go up, two on each side. Raph and Donnie went up the right. Leo and Mikey went up the left. Still they moved on silent, swiftly. The footsteps seemed to be moving now away from the lair but they were taking no chances. They had to much to lose if they were wrong. Then up ahead they saw the shadowy figure. There was hardly any light down here in the daytime but it was now evening with what little daylight that did come down here fading the only thing they could make out was a moving shadow. Leo signaled to Raph they slowed down to barely a crawl, keeping the shadow in sight but not engaging, still not sure what was ahead of them. The the shadow stopped. They didn't need Leo to signal for them to stop. They were about twenty feet away Hands gripping weapons tightly, they waited.
Then the shadow started to move up on Leo's side of the tunnel. Then they heard a manhole cover being pushed aside. As the cover started to open and a street light shone in they finally were able to see who had entered their territory. It was a woman. 'What the hell...?' Leo thought. He exchanged quick surprised glances with his brothers. They quietly watched as the blonde haired woman made her way out of the sewer. As she got top side she started to slide the cover back. She didn't get it closed however when she suddenly screamed a scream full of fear.
Leo didn't hesitate and he felt the others right behind him. He was up the ladder in a flash and launched himself hight into the night air. He quickly saw the woman cornered on the wall in front of him. There were about twelve men standing around her, all of them armed with assault rifles. Leo angled his fall and landed in the middle of them knocking two of them away as he came down. He then brought his katana up and knocked the rifel out of a third's hand and punched him out. Right after he landed he heard his brothers make their entrance. Raph struck out with a kick to one then turned and grabbed another one and threw him into yet a third. Mikey, obiviously enjoying his freedom again, kicked the legs out from under one and then spun around with his nunchucku whirling taking a second out with a quick blow to the head then returned his attention to the first one by kicking him in the head as he tried to get back up. Donnie spun his staff in a circle jabbing on in the stomach then kicking him away and immediately bringing it around to take another out by hitting him in the side then coming around rapidly with the other side to hit him again. The man collapsed.
The remaining two tried to flee and Raph ran after them. Before they got very far though a large shadowy figure dropped down in front of the fleeing men from the rooftop over them. "Shit!" Leo whispered as Raph stopped so fast his feet slid on the slick pavement and he fell onto his back his eyes wide in shock. Donnie gasped. "Dudes...I think we just found it... " came from Mikey quietly.
In front of them was something impossible. It stood about ten feet tall, it's body covered in dark brown and black fur. It's wolflike head on top of a bearlike body. The arms and legs were catlike and they were tipped with very large claws that it put to work on the two remaining men. With hardly any effort it tore them apart in seconds. Then it's yellow gaze fell onto Raph who was still laying on the ground in shock. It took a step forward growling.
"NO!" screamed the woman behind Leo. She ran, dodging Leo's grasp, and stood between the creature and Raph, who was now starting to get his composure and trying to get up. "No. He saved me. Do not hurt him."
The large eyes went from Raph then to the woman. "Please don't go, please." she said to the thing. It then snorted and climbed straight up the wall from the building it came down from then was gone.
They stood there for a moment in shock then Leo walked up to the woman. "Lady, you have some serious explaining to do...
