8. Rescue

I tugged and pulled at the chains. I need to get out of here. If I say yes to Shredder I'll be turning against my family. If I say no, I'll either die or be forced to work for him against my will.

Not much of a choice.

"Argh! Stupid chains! Break already!" I quietly yelled. All of a sudden I was whacked to my side. I flew to my left, but being tied to the chains, I got pulled back getting whiplash.

I slowly sat back up, wincing in pain. "Ahh. . . " I whined as I held a hand to the back of my neck.

"You'll stay put if you know it's good for you!" I heard a deep, husky voice say. Suddenly a giant dog looking mutant came out of the shadows. From all the stories I've heard, I'm pretty sure this ones, "Dogpound. Nice to finally meet you, you know, not in the heat of battle." I said not letting him see how much pain I was in.

He obviously didn't like this. He growled and raised his hand about to whack me once more. I shut my eyes awaiting the hit.

"Bradford! Enough." I heard a voice say. I opened my eyes and found the one and only Shredder.

"I do hope you have come to a decision." Shredder started as he walked towards me.

"I will never join the foot." I spat at his face. "Grr stupid little girl!" He scolded before unsheathing his blades from his gauntlets.

Before I could even cower in fear he swung his arm and gave me two deep, long gashes across my right arm.

"Arghh!" I cried in pain as I watched the blood slowly drip down onto the floor.

I'm gonna die here. I'm not joining the foot and selling out my only family. And the turtles don't know where I am. This is where I leave.

General Narration

The turtles headed topside and split off into four different possible directions Breeze could've headed.

"Dudes I can't find anything!" Mikey yelled out from his rooftop. "I don't care! Keep searching!" Raphael demanded. "Holy Jaloopa ok ok I will, just calm down Raph!" Mikey said.

Raph was about to lose it, but for Breezes sake he kept his cool. He was gonna find her.

Then he found it.

"Guys get over here, now!" Raph shouted. All three turtles rushed to their red bandana brother.

"What'd you find?" Donnie asked. Raph simply held up Breezes kunai. "It's Breezes!" He exclaimed. Raph's eyes slowly lingered down to Leo's hand, he was holding something.

"Leo? Did you find something?" He asked. "Yeh. A foot-bot arm. They were here." Leo explained. "So she's with Shredder?" Mikey asked. "Yes. And we're gonna get her back. Let's head to Shredders lair." Raph ordered.

The turtles ran across the rooftops and finally reached Shredders lair.

"We should attack from the roof." Leo instructed. "Yeh, we get in save Breeze get out." Raph finished. "Everybody know the plan?"

"Yes!" They all whispered.

The turtles sat on the roof and went inside sitting in the corner of the building looking for Breeze.

They saw her. Chained to the floor. Cuts all over her arms and blood everywhere.

Raph looked at her horrified. "Let's go." He said before they all jumped down.

Breezes POV

I've been tortured, mostly by Dogpound but there were times where Shredder would get in on the action and cut me.

I'd passed out about three or four times from the pain.

Shredder then returned. Great.

He came up to me and readied his blade. "You will work for me or else!" He demanded. "Or else what?! I'll never work for you!" I spat. He raised his blades ready to strike me. I shut my eyes tight.

But instead of the cold metal slicing through my skin. I heard metal clash with metal. I opened my eyes and saw Raph in front of me blocking Shredders attack with his sais.

I sighed in relief and smiled weakly.

Shortly after his three brothers joined him in the ground.

"Leave. Her. Alone." Raph threatened in a deep voice. Shredder then pushed him back.

"Turtles! How nice of you to join us! Attack!" Shredder yelled out. Mikey charged Dogpound while Leo and Donnie attacked the Shredder. Raph ran to me.

"Breeze, holy shell! You look like crap!" He said trying to break the chains. "Well, *cough* aren't you a perceptive one." I smirked back.

Raph finally broke the chains and helped me up. But got whacked to the side my Dogpound. I fell back to the ground. "Raph!" I yelled.

Dogpound was about to attack me but Mikey wrapped his chain around dogpounds fist. Seeing the opportunity I pushed Dogpound back all the way into the wall with all the force I could conjure up.

Mikey ran to my side, I looked to my left and staggered towards Raph. Dogpound was down.

"Raph? Is he ok? Does he need mouth to mouth?" Mikey asked worriedly. Before I could answer, Raphs hand covered Mikeys face. "Absolutely not!" He said sternly. We all laughed and Raph quickly got up.

"Cmon! Let's get outta here!" He said. I nodded and limped after him. He turned around and saw my right leg had been cut badly, he ran back to me and picked me up bridal style.

"Leo! Time to go!" Raph called to his older brother. Leo nodded and threw a smoke bomb, covering Donnie and his escape. While Mikey, Raph and myself left through the window.

They made their way to the nearest manhole cover. Now that I knew I was safe I rested my head on Raphs plastron and allowed myself to gain the sleep I had been deprived of.

---------

Once again. I woke up in Raphael's room. I sat up and stretched. Only to wince and cry in pain as the memories of yesterday came flooding back.

I looked at my arms and legs. White bandages every where. Some bandages had red spots on them, where the blood hadn't stopped bleeding and seeped through.

I made my way to the door and opened it. I staggered to the couch and sat down. I laid my head back and closed my eyes.

"How are you?" I heard a voice say behind me. My eyes snapped open only to find Raph.

"I've been better." I replied back flatly. "I'll bet." He replied back while sitting down next to me.

Donnie came in and then rushed back his lab once he saw me. He reappeared with medical supplies and new bandages.

He made me drink some medicine and put new bandages on my wounds.

"You should go get some rest." He advised. I nodded and walked off. But first.

I waked to the dojo and cracked the door open, finding Leo inside meditating.

I crept in and sat in front of him.

"Leo?" I whispered. He opened one eye, then both. "Breeze it's good to see you up and well!" He exclaimed. "Yeh, um, sorry for going out late. And, um, thanks for saving me." I thanked him.

He smile at me first. "I'd love to say 'your welcome' but Raph is the one who organised everyone and set out the plan to rescue you." Leo explained.

My eyes widened. "Oh ok then thanks Leo." I said as I left the dojo.

I headed to Raphs room and knocked on the door.

"What!" He yelled. "Uh, it's me Breeze." I replied through the door. "Oh um right come in." He said.

I walked through and I saw him reading some magazines. 'Modern Day Ninja' it read.

"Are you ready Modern Day Ninja?" I asked intrigued. "Yeh. You read em too?" He asked full of hope. I sat on his bed. "Yeh when I. . . Was with the purple dragons there were some magazines there. They're pretty cool." I explained.

He smiled. "Finally! Someone who has good taste in magazines. Leo only reads his stupid Space Heroes comics!" He said. I laughed.

"Hey, um I just wanted to say thank you." I said. "What for?" He questioned. "For rescuing me. Leo told me you got everyone organised and planned out my rescue mission." I smiled at him.

Tell me if I'm wrong, but did I just see Raphael blush! Only a little though.

"No problem. Any time." He smiled back.

I headed for his door and was about to shut it. "Night Raph." I said. "Night Breeze."
