CH:17 Counter Attack

Right before we walk out the door, Master Splinner finally finishes his deep meditation and comes out of his dojo. He quickly eyes us up, noticing all our gear and asks, "What is going on here?!" With a serious look on his face as his left ear twitchs.

"The Foot Clan invaded the sewers so we were going give them a reason to clear out." Says Ralph as he cracks his knuckles with a grin.

"And is this a wise course of action?" Asks Splinter full of judgement as an eyebrow raises and he strokes his beard.

I speak up saying, "Don't worry Sensei. We will stick to the shadows and we have a few extra surprises up our sleeves." I finish with a mischievous glint in my violet eyes. With that we take off down the tunnels before sensei could say no, leaving him shaking his head at our antics.

Once we finally came across the first group of ninjas we all duck down side tunnels to not be seen. As they passed the openings of our hiding spots, we each snagged a ninja from the back of the group without being spotted. Knocking them unconscious and tying them up before we move on to the next. We work through the tunnels doing this as much as we can, using the odd smoke bomb for extra coverage. Bringing all of the unconscious bodies to the middle of the flood chamber that Donny mentioned.

The ninjas started realizing what is going on when we were 3/4 the way through clearing them all out. Raph started using the explosive bombs to spook the ninjas into the direction we want them to go, laughing maniacally in the darkness whenever one went off. When he ran out though, he traded his flashbangs for Mikey's explosives just so he could have more fun.

Mikey, being the perfect bait that he is, then through a few flashbangs at the remaining ninjas form behind to annoy them into chasing him as he led them into the flood chamber, constantly taunting them the whole time.

These ninjas weren't going down without a fight so Ralph, Mikey and I were trying to hold them back. While we kept the ninjas busy, Donny and Leo are setting up the next stage of our plan.

The flood chamber itself is a large round room. It kinda resembled a huge toilet bowl made of stone and concrete. Leo and Donny are on the upper ledge with pipes covering the walls behind them. While Raph, Mikey and I are down inside the bowl, surrounding all the ninjas making sure they stay there. There is a deep drain that goes straight to the Treatment Plant in the back of the bowl.

"Any time now guys!" I yell as I start to feel exhaustion taking me from over using my power again. As frustration fills me, my instincts kick in and my pupils turn to slits. I start using my claws to hack and shash at the ninjas before me. Cuting through their swords like butter, maiming them like a wild animal in the process.

This makes Mikey freeze when he gets splattered with blood. He stares at me with wide fear filled eyes saying, "Damn girl, you're scarier than Raph." Making Raph chuckle in approvement while he stabs his sai into multiple ninjas in quick succession, spraying more blood all over the floor.

Meanwhile, Donny has his bo staff jammed in a shut off valve trying to use it for more leverage to get the damn thing to move. "Leo! I need a hand!" He yells as he realizes he's not strong enough to do it by himself.

After finishing cleaning out the large plugged pipe that is pointing towards Raph, Mikey and I, Leo runs over to Donny and takes out one of his swords. He weaves it through the other side of the wheal shaped shut off valve and applies all his strength. Finally feeling it nudge under his leverage he yells out, "NOW!!" Then gives it one last shove, releasing all the built-up pressure.

With that signal Raph, Mikey and I all jump out of the way just as a tidal wave of raw sewage comes shooting out of the pipe Leo just cleaned out. Smashing into the ninjas and literally washing them down the drain as we all cheer.

On our walk back to the lair Mikey couldn't stop praising our "Ninja Bombs" as he calls them. Stating the blue ones were clearly his favorite and the red ones scare him after he accidentally dropped one at his feet, blowing him into the wall behind him. 'Yeah he is definitely band from those and he's never going to live this down', I think to myself as we all fall on the ground dying in laughter.

Ralph and I hung back from the group a bit as we were trying to wipe all the blood off. "Sensei will definitely give us a round of Randori if we show up like this", grumbles Raph.

"Randori?" I couldn't help but ask as I tilt my head to the side with an eyebrow raised.

"Yeah, Sensei says it's training to detect a hit you can't see but he usually just uses it as punishment to hit us with a stick." He sighs out.

I chuckle at the thought, "So, if you can dodge the hit then you don't get punished?" I couldn't help but smile as I asked.

"I honestly don't know, none of us has ever been able to dodge it." He says as he rubs the back of his head in memory.

Once we get back to the lair, Master Splinter called us to the dojo for a full explanation. Leo explains our plan in full, how we executed it, and the outcome in grate detail. Only leaving out how Raph and I were painting the place with the blood of our enemys. But it's harder then one would think to hide the sent of blood from a rat.

As Master Splinter paces back and forth in front of us, while we are all taking a knee in a row, he squints his eyes as his nose twitches. "Is there anything else you want to tell me?" He says in a very accusing tone.

Mikey says, "Something we want to tell you? Heh, nope."

Master Splinter then reaches his hand out and with one finger rubs a tiny speck blood off of Mikey's cheek, making him flinch. He rubs his thumb and index finger together as he glares at Raph. "Are you sure there's nothing you want to tell me?" He asks us all once more and with wide eyes and tight lips we all shake our heads. Making him squint his eyes again as his left ear twitchs in annoyance saying, "So you would not object to a little randori?" pulling out a wooden sword, literally out of nowhere. Making all the turtles gulp hard.

'Good thing I'm sitting on the end', I think as I watch sensei walk around behind Raph first. Holding the stick above his head for 10 seconds before swinging down hitting Raph hard enough to make him fall over in pain. Next is Donny who impulsively moves forward three times before he too gets a whack in the head, making him double over holding his head in pain.

Then Mikey, but Splinter holds the stick in the air a fair bit longer this time making Mikey freak out. Unable to handle it he asks, "Just so we are clear, are you or are you not planning to use that sick?" Just as he finishes this question he gets a hard wack in the head, making him fall backwards as the daylights literally got knocked out of his poor head.

Sensei then moves behind Leo, again holding the stick over his head. He holds it for just under 10 seconds this time before he swings down just hitting Leo on the shell as he ducks. Sprinter still used enough force though the knock Leo onto his stomach. With a small chuckle he says, "Nice try Leonardo, but not close enough."

As sensei moves toward me, my concentration becomes even harder as this whole time I was trying to familiarize myself with Splinters energy right before he strikes. 'I got this', I think to myself as Master gets into position. Just as his energy spikes I tuck and roll to the side, completely dodging the stick as it slams onto the floor.

"Very good", says Splinter with wide eyes and approval in his voice that disappears in an instant. "I hope you have learned, turtles, that truth isn't the only thing that hurts. Now we train!" He says aggressively with a hand over his beard, making all the turtles and I groan.
