CH:32 Battle of Wits

As we are rushing up the stairs to get to the 23rd floor the lab is on, the whole building is filled with the sounds of a monkey screaming and shrieking in pain. Once we get on the right floor, we can hear Falco's voice, "Oh, stop struggling, Tyler. You were always so dramatic."

Sensing them, I point down the hallway yelling, "Their three doors down from the end! Room 47!" We all book it like crazy to the end of the hallway just to find that the door is locked. 'That poor monkey is barely making any noises now... What the fuck did that doctor do?!' With my hand still on the doorknob, the thoughts rage in my head.

"I got this", Donny says, pushing me out of the way and snapping me back to reality. He pulls out a little electronic device and shoves the skinny end into the slot just below the handle of the door. After a short moment the light turns from red to green.

Seconds later all of us were in the room just to see the poor Rockwell monkey passed out drooling while still latched into the chair. While Falco is standing in front of the monkey still in the back of the room with a wicked grin and freakishly red bloodshot eyes. 'Like, seriously, his eyes are redder than the devil's balls. Now the doctor is starting to resemble the monster that he is.' I couldn't help it think as hatred was boiling up inside me while I glare at him.

As Leo pulls out one of his swords he says, Alright, Falco, we've had enough of your.."

But before he could finish Raph cut him off with a very annoyed tone, "Do not say, monkeying around."

Making Leo get defensive as he slightly yells back, "I wasn't going to!"

All I can do is roll my eyes before Falco starts maniacally cackling. "Yes, you were!" He says as his grin turns psychotic and he crosses his arms over his chest.

Donny points at him saying, "It's over Falco we know it was you who mutated Rockwell."

Falco just chuckles a bit and says, "Yep, I use him as a guinea pig."

Mikey puts both of his hands on his hips and with a very serious accusatory tone he says, "Well, it didn't work. You turned him into a monkey." Earning him an immediate side eye from me and the other Turtles.

Falco's eyes get a little bit wider as his crazy look increases while he says, "The psychic neurochemical I extracted from his mutant brain is changing me. Your minds are opening up to me."

Donny squints his eyes at Falco, "So, this was your plan all along?"

Standing up straight and professional with his hands behind his back Falco says, "Of course! No man can defeat you when you know his every thought."

As Raph is getting just as annoyed as I am, he speaks up saying, "Oh really? Then you must know I'm going to sm.."

Before he can even finish his banter, Falco interrupts saying, "Smack the white off my lab coat?" And starts fake laughing, sarcastically adding, "How humorous."

This just ticks Raph off even more as he growls out, "Lucky guess!" Then charges at the monster with a battle cry.

Raph does a perfect quick spin kick aimed for Falco's head that the doctor avoided effortlessly, with his hands still behind him as he just took a few steps back. Shocking the crap out of all of us.

"This is not good..." I couldn't help but mumble under my breath.

Falco is dodging everything Raphael can throw at him. Eventually the doctor grabs one of Raph's sais that were still attached to his belt. With a spin, in the same swift motion and using Raphs own momentum, Falco smashes the sai into Raphs forehead knocking him out with the extra force before any of us can react.

As rage fills me for my fallen comrade, I charge my body making myself glow a bit and lunge at him as fast as I could thinking I can overcome him with speed. But much to my surprise Falco steps out of the way just in the nick of time. Making me trip over Raph's shell, as he is still passed out on the floor. The doctor smirks and says, "I would rather not deal with this firecracker." While he smashes the sai into my forehead in the same manner he did to Raph. Finishing off by perfectly mimicking Raphs spin kick from earlier, quickly kicking my torso incredibly hard pushing me and Raph into the other three Turtles, knocking them all down like bowling pins.

In the blink of an eye I flop to the ground like a sack of potatoes unable to move. Thinking to myself, 'I will not pass out. I will not pass out.' I keep blinking to keep myself awake when a realization hit me, 'That fucker must have hit some kind of pressure point, I can't even feel my body.' I fill with a bit of horror as all I can do is watch on unable to help. Cursing myself and my stupidity for letting my emotions get the best of me once again.

Leo yells, "Ying! Raph!" Before doing a back hand spring to get onto his feet. Pulling out his other sword, so he has one in each hand and rushing in to attack the doctor. As Leo is using all of his best expert swordsman skills, Falco is dodging everything like it's child's play.

Knowing my mistake, all I wanted to do was scream to get them to attack together. I was sure that if all three were attacking at once he would be overwhelmed. Psychic or not he's still just a human. But unfortunately I couldn't move a muscle. Honestly I'm surprised I can barely move my eyelids.

As Donny and Mikey get to their feet, Mike looks over at Leo fighting Falco and with wide-eyed amazement saying, "Whoa! Dudes! It's like he can read our minds!!"

Making Donny facepalm as he replys, "That's because he is psychic! Shell brain! He literally just said that!"

But before their conversation could continue, Falco hooked Leo's swords with the sai that was still in his hand and hucked the swords towards the other Turtles. Making them jump out of the way in the nick of time to avoid being skewered. Making my eyes bulge as I scream in my head, 'HELP LEO BEFORE..' I couldn't even finish the thought as the doctor did two quick secession kicks. The first to Leo's head followed by the next to his chest. Sending him flying into the wall behind him, cracking it on impact with his shell. Passing out before he even hits the floor.

Mikey looks over at mine, Leo's and Raph's limp bodies and starts to freak out, "Dude! Our big guns are down!" He looks over at Donny who is just getting to his feet, holding his own head in his panic, "Your the idea guy! THINK OF SOMETHING!"

Falco chuckles as he walks up behind Mikey knocking him out with a quick jab to the back of the head with Raphael's sai while saying, "Thinking will do you no good." He starts to approach Donny while continuing, "A man who can read minds is unstoppable. Once I dispose of you, no one will be able to stand in my way. And as a bonus, I even get a few more guinea pigs." He finishes laughing slightly maniacally.

Don yells, "We'll just see about that!" As he charges at the Mad Doctor, combining all of his best moves. Even using quite a few false moves to switch up his attacks right in the middle. Just to see if he can get the upper hand without any success. As the doctor casually dodges every move Donny can throw at them. Eventually Falco grabs the end of his bo staff, and using Donny's own momentum to smash him against the wall.

As Donny rolls onto his side in pain before he gets to his feet, the doctor starts gloating, "I really must admire that complex brain of yours. You come up with so many ideas! Too bad I can see them all coming."

Donny takes a deep breath getting into a low fighting stance with his bo staff in hand and mumbles, "Don't think, just do." Then he charges at the doctor. Who literally steps out of the way and knocks Don down with a fast back handed swing of his arm.

"Do you really think it will be that easy? HA! I can see your every intention!" Falco starts gloating again as Donny picks himself up off the ground once more and worry fills every inch of me.

Don looks really pissed off, glaring at the monster of a man before him, as he wipes a bit of blood from the corner of his mouth. "You want to read people's minds? Then fine!" Falco starts laughing but immediately stops as his eyes go wide while he listened to Donny. "Have a taste of advanced Algebraic geometry combined with some Optimization and Control Theory, topped off with a little Inverse Problem Theory and it's rigorous application as the cherry on top."

By the time Donny finished his threat, Falco is screaming in pain holding his head. "Make it stop! I can't... It's too much! MAKE IT STOP!"

I can hardly believe what I'm seeing as Falco is practically in the fetal position, kneeling on the ground ripping out his hair in pain. With wide eyes I couldn't help but think, 'Just how intelligent is Donatello? I wonder... if he wasn't limited Earth's primitive technology, how much he could truly advance...'

I watch on as Donny walks up to the bad doctor and literally mumbles, "Taste math bitch." Before curb stomping Falco, making him pass out.
