((Author's Notes: Yes, yes, yes--corny title. BUT I think Mikey--and maybe Raph--would totally dig the movie 300. In fact, there are certain parts of that movie that I'll be drawing inspiration from for the next few chapters. Besides, this chapter is where the first real fight scene actually happens...and the title seems fitting. AAAAAAND of course, it MIGHT be something that Mikey would shout, if given the opportunity...

...also, this is the first fight scene that I've actually written for a fanfic and NOT for an RP. Thus, I'm not going into too much details. sweatdrop Sorry, but please bear with me! Also, Goldilocks ain't familair with fighting stuff, so she didn't know that those "strange dagger-type...thingies" were actually sais. Thought I'd clarify that...))

Goldilocks had followed Michelangelo's orders. She was using her anti-grav skateboard as a shield--though she cringed at the thought of having the prototype wrecked even further than it already was. And she was in the back--well...technically. She was actually kneeling behind the driver seat, keeping the board between her body and the wall while she peeked through the corner of the broken front-door window. She saw the Ninja Turtle facing off against those ninjas...and they had bows and arrows.

~THAT explains the shield thing,~ she thought. ~But...what about Mikey? I mean, those four archers look like they got shooting lessons from Robin Hood...~

She immediate got her answer when Mikey did a running leap against them--a running, twisting leap that put his shell towards the enemy just as the archers fired their arrows. Two bounced off, while the other two made shallow marks in the shell. The turtle acted as if he didn't feel anything as he finished the twisting leap with a roundhouse kick that caught the speaker--who appeared to be caught by surprise from the sudden attack--square in the jaw.

Then, once he landed, he wailed into his opponent with his spinning weapons. Once...twice...three times, the young woman heard a bone cracking from such blows. One was a collar bone; one was in the right arm; and one...was actually two or three vertebrea around the waist. He must've hit the spinal chord with that last one, for the enemy suddenly collapsed to the ground screaming in pain and acting as if he couldn't use his legs anymore.

Then, her brave green protector turned to the others just as the other four melee warriors rushed up to join the fray. One had a pair of ninja knives--kunai, as she recalled from various anime series--and two more were wielding some kind of sharp weapons with both sides of the hilt guard curved up around either side. The last one was whirling the same kind of weapon Mikey had--except that Mikey's had metal parts, and probably hurt more.

Her green "protector" didn't seem phased by their choice in weapons. In fact, he seemed very familair with such items--as if he had practice with people who used such weapons on a regular basis. Goldilocks began to wonder if her new companion had more than one brother as she watched the unfolding battle.

Mikey blocked, kicked, and slammed his way around his opponents. When they had surrounded him at one point, he pulled a set of moves that could only be called "The Hurricane Technique". He disarmed the kunai-wielder and cracked his head open at the same time, and then took out the other two opponents--the ones with those strange dagger-type...thingies--by breaking a leg...or four...with some arm bones as well.

Then, he duel with his fellow "chucker", as he had called the only standing melee fighter left.

Goldilocks suddenly noticed the archers moving around until they could all get a good shot at Mikey--all at angles that would NOT make the arrows hit the shell again. At least, three of them were. The fourth was coming towards the back door of the van.

Or, to be more precise, coming to nab Miss Winter. And said lady wasn't feeling up to being nabbed by that creep today. Thus, she moved herself into position, quietly putting down the board and picking up her "leetle friend, Mr. Mace". As soon as she felt she was within striking distance, she settled into stand-by mode, really to unleash her weapon as soon as that door flew open.

Which it did, just a moment later.

And as a result, the would-be-kidnapper was howling from the unforeseen assault of the king of pepper sprays. And said howl was quickly cut off with a quick kick to the face via Nike Air Jordan.

"That's what'cha get for messin' with me, b*****d!" She screeched to the KOed ninja.

And then, another howl of pain filled the air--only it wasn't from one of the attackers.

"MIKEY!!" Winters yelped as she saw her new friend gripping the shuriken that was digging into his thigh--one that was thrown from the ninja that had spoken earlier. While his legs were disabled, at least one arm wasn't--and said arm was reaching for another shuriken as Mikey was trying to hold off his opponent--and the three remaining archers were getting ready to fire.

Goldilocks pulled out her pocket knife and threw it at the archer closest to her. She smiled grimly as she saw it sink deep into his forearm. She then remembered the dagger that she had pulled out from her board, and then took that blade out and threw it at the shuriken-wielding ninja.

It landed right between the shoulder blades.

The woman prayed that she didn't just kill someone...even if he was trying to kill Mikey.

Mikey, who had finally knocked out the last melee fighter, turned to see that the girl had saved his butt, and grinned this thanks through the pain as he ripped the throwing star out of his leg. He then threw it at one of the remaining archers, landing right in-between the eyes, and then pulled out one of his own and threw that one at the second archer...with the same result. Then, he grunted as an arrow dug a little deep into the shell, and whirled around to glare at the last remaing archer--who was still able to shoot despite having Goldilock's knife stuck in his arm.

The turtle only took a few moments to make quick work of the remaining fighter.

The blonde gazed at the battlefiend as a horrified realization dawned in her mind. At least five of them were dead...and one had actually died by her hand. Her own hand...

"You okay, babe?" Mikey weakly called out, limping over to her, looking concerned about her and not about the fact that he just took some lives.

She wasn't so sure herself, with her hand clenched over her mouth and all the color drained from her face. She felt like she wanted to puke... She had seen death before; that wasn't the problem. She had seen a few dead bodies--usually when she had stumbled across them during her skateboarding runs around the area. But this...this was different. This was all because of her--either by her own hand, or otherwise.

~I didn't want this when I asked for an adventure,~ she thought, feeling a bit horrified and...filthy...
