Chapter Seventeen: The Shredder Strikes Back Part One
Harry looked around at the Foot Ninjas surrounding him at the moment. This predicament was definitely not one he wanted to be in at this time, especially without a weapon and had made a vow not to ever use magic to harm Muggles, as it would make him no better than the Dursleys, at least that is how Harry felt in his mind. To top this situation off, Harry knew he could not get to his Portus-Amulet in time, as he was too busy trying not to become sliced and diced by a dozen Foot Ninjas. The Foot Ninjas charged at Harry, but Harry threw himself on the ground and the Foot Ninjas hit air. Seizing his opportunity, Harry leaped up, kicking one of the Foot Ninjas, and stealing his sword. Another Foot Ninja charged Harry but Harry ducked and leaped up, before breaking the ninja's weapon in half with a simple swipe of his sword.
Four Foot Ninjas charged but Harry leaped up over them and they turned around. Harry took out two of the ninjas with a split kick and blocked a sword shot by the third before sweeping the leg out from underneath the assassin. Harry punched the fourth ninja in the face.
The remaining six ninjas charged Harry but Harry managed to back flip over them, kicking two in the back while punching the third into the back of the head. Leaping up, Harry sliced one of the Foot Ninja's in the chest with the sword. The Foot Ninja clutched his chest before falling to the ground, not moving. The remaining two ninjas attempted to attack Harry but Harry threw himself to his back before kicking his feet up. Harry flipped them over onto their backs.
Harry turned around, wiping the sweat off of his forehead as the rain poured down from the sky. Harry took a step forward but on another rooftop higher up, he saw trouble in the form of more Foot Ninjas yet, eight of them to be exact. They leaped down to Harry but Harry rolled forward, slicing a clothesline wire before using it to swing across the city to a second rooftop, away from harm or so it appeared.
Harry looked up where he landed and more Foot Ninjas were closing on him. Three of the Foot Ninjas charged, wielding spears. One attempted to stick the spear straight into Harry's stomach but Harry expertly lifted up before bouncing off the spear and taking two of the Foot Ninjas out with a split kick. Three of the Ninjas closed in on Harry, wielding the ever dangerous, Kusari-Gama. They swung the sickles towards Harry but Harry managed to bat them back with a vicious swipe of his sword.
Without warning, Harry leaped up, latching onto one of the head of one of the Foot Ninja before snapping it back. With a sickening crack, the Foot Ninja fell back. His two fellow Ninjas went towards Harry, managing to wrap the chains from the Kusari-Gama in around his feet and attempt to drag him forward to attempt to jab the sickles into his body but Harry managed to slice himself free from the chains with his stolen sword. The impact from the viciousness of the blow sent the two Foot Ninjas flying back, off the edge of the building towards parts unknown.
Harry picked up the chain sliced off from the Kusari-Gama. Two Foot Ninjas charged him and Harry tossed the chain at them, managing to cause it to wrap around one of the Foot Ninja's feet and causing him to fly face first onto the pavement but his fellow Foot Ninja continued the chase, raising his Naginata up into the air and slicing Harry's stolen sword in half. Harry decided to go for the more old fashion method of fighting, namely bringing his knee a bit south of the border namely into the crotch of the Foot Ninja. The Foot Ninja dropped to the ground, in agony as Harry picked up his Naginata to use as his new temporary weapon before attempting to get away from the heat of the battle.
Back at the abandoned sporting good's warehouse, the Turtles were just waking up from sleeping. Splinter had been up for several hours and was enjoying a sushi tray and some tea for breakfast.
"Hey, where is Harry?" asked Leo, noticing his human brother was missing from the warehouse.
"Your brother has gone on a walk to think over some events which happened in the past few weeks, I suspect he will be returning any moment right now," said Splinter.
Donatello looked outside, seeing the storm brewing and the sound of thunder in the distance.
"Harry is nuts to be out in this, he'll get soaked," said Donatello.
"Hey, Harry just fought a fifty foot snake, I am pretty sure he can handle a little bit of rain," said Mikey in a reassuring voice.
Harry was still holding his own against Foot Ninjas on the rooftops but barely. The blasted ninjas seemed to be multiplying at an alarming rate, like rabbits. He wondered if this was some twisted Ninja vendetta thing for Splinter knocking Shredder off that roof and finishing him off that night over a year ago.
Harry leaped up, jabbing his way through the hordes with the Naginata, before leaping up, using the Foot Ninja's heads as a way to propel himself to a higher rooftop and away from trouble. Harry dropped to his hands and knees, he had been fighting Ninjas for at least twenty minutes, and they had been relentless in their assault. The fun had just begun as when Harry looked up, a trio of Invisible Foot Ninjas had just made themselves visible. These ruthless assassins were known as the Foot Tech Ninjas and they had more advanced strength and stealth capabilities then their normal counterparts.
Harry cursed his rotten luck and leaped up, attempting for the attack but the Foot Tech Ninjas pressed the button that activated the cloaking controls on their armor. Harry looked up and his invisible foes hit him with a full force attack. As well as kicked by his invisible foes and lifted up into the air and slammed onto the ground, before getting kicked into the ribs while he was on the ground. The kicks came in succession over and over again, as the Foot Tech Ninjas seemed to be wearing Harry down for a final blow.
Harry felt himself being lifted up and tossed off the edge of the building. It was a long drop, a long fifty-foot drop, all the way down to the concrete below.
At the warehouse, the Turtles were sitting around, finishing their breakfast, a unique combo of soda, chips, and chocolate and their seemed to be a bit of worry setting in.
"Now, I think Harry really should have gotten back by now," said Michelangelo. "He normally does not stay out this long."
"Mikey, Harry was through a lot the past year and no doubt he needed time to reflect upon it," said Leo. "Besides, how much trouble can he get into out there."
"I agree with Leo, after fighting that fifty foot snake, I doubt, Harry could get into anything worse for a long time," said Raph. "He can handle himself."
Splinter felt a feeling of unease that he could not explain. It felt as if an old enemy thought vanquished was beginning to stir once again but the wise old rat attempted to cast it out of his mind. He would wait fifteen more minutes before allowing himself to go into worry at his son being gone for so long.
Outside the building, Harry managed to stick his Naginata in the side of the building and grab on it to slow his decent, pushing off, Harry managed to propel himself to a ledge, before climbing up. Harry could sense the Foot Tech Ninjas coming back to check on him. He decided since he could not see his foes, he would shield his eyesight so he could focus on using other senses.
Harry ripped off a sleeve of his shirt and made it into a makeshift blindfold, putting it around his eyes. He could hear the Foot Tech Ninjas closing in, their steps making a sound in the rainwater. Harry leaped up, managing to slash one of the cloaking controls with the stolen Naginata. A burning smell existed and Harry kicked one of the Foot Tech Ninjas back. The Foot Tech Ninja fell back into the water, becoming visible and getting a small shock in the water by his cloaking control malfunctioning. The Foot Tech Ninja thanked his luck stars Baxter Stockman, the inventor of the Foot Tech armor, made the cloaking controls virtually shockproof, just in case of an event like that.
The Third Foot Tech Ninja attempted to attack Harry but Harry stabbed his Naginata right into the cloaking control. Another sizzling sound and the third Foot Tech Ninja became visible, stunned by the shot. Harry pulled off his makeshift blindfold, breathing heavily. No doubt more trouble would be on the way. Harry decided he had to keep on the move. As he looked over his shoulder, Harry could see an army of Foot Ninja chasing him across the rooftop.
Despite being obviously tired and winded from the battle so far, Harry kept up his pace, as the Foot Ninjas chased him across the city. Harry must not let them catch him. If he could give them the slip, he could get back to the warehouse undetected. He attempted to take a detour to throw them off but the Foot Ninjas kept on Harry, no doubt not wanting to lose their prey.
The Turtles were starting to get more worried as time goes on. The four exchanged uneasy looks before Raphael began to voice what the others were thinking about their brother.
"You know, I really think we should be looking for Harry right about now," said Raphael in an agitated voice. "He has been gone for an awful long time."
Raphael got up, in an attempt to get after Harry but Splinter grabbed his arm.
"Stay put, Raphael," said Splinter sternly. "If we are to look for your brother, we are going to do it together. We shall wait about five more minutes before making plans to head out."
"But Master Splinter..." said Raph but Splinter was unmoving.
"Sit, Raphael," said Splinter in a tone of voice that left no room for argument.
Raphael sat down, gritting his teeth in agitating.
"What a jip!" said Raphael underneath his breath. "We are sitting here, cooped up in this blasted warehouse while Harry gets to go out and do goodness knows what."
Raphael continued to sat, his arms folded, moving his leg in agitated, obviously bursting to get out of the warehouse, and pick a fight with the first person that looked at him cross-eyed.
The chase involving Harry and the Foot Ninjas across the city had continued before Harry fell to his hands and knees, not able to move anymore. Harry turned onto his back, shakily pulling himself up, as at least fifty Foot Ninjas formed a wall in front of him. The three Foot Tech Ninjas came out in front but they had just joined by a special guest, a new addition to Harry's trouble. The fight was about to get more painful, as Shredder's right hand man and the official leader of the Purple Dragons street gang, the mountain of a man known simply as Hun, had joined the battle.
Hun walked up to Harry, cracking his knuckles. Harry knew he would have to use his speed and agility to wear down Hun as he knew there was no way he could fight a man Hun's size head on. Hun leaped up into the air, preparing to blast Harry in the face with one of his beefy fists, but Harry leaped up over Hun. The behemoth grunted in confusion, before turning around when Harry tapped him on the back with the Naginata.
Hun went after Harry, attempting to punch the lights out of him but Harry rolled underneath and kicked Hun into the back, causing the big man to fall clumsily onto his face. Hun popped up, growling in anger, before ripping a pipe loose from the roof. The big man gave a mighty bellow, managing to knock the Naginata from Harry's hand before knocking him back with a vicious shot to the ribs with the pipe. Harry flew back and Hun dropped the pipe before cracking his knuckles, walking forward for the closing blow, raising his fist into the air towards Harry.
Harry looked up, as he saw his back was to a chimney. Hun advanced on Harry, raising his fist into the air. At the last possible moment, the Boy-Who-Lived maneuvered his body out of the way of the coming fist aimed at his face, no doubt about to crush it and Hun cracked his knuckles into the bricks of the chimney. Harry slipped behind, as the bricks had been loosened. Leaping up, Harry kicked the bricks towards Hun, toppling them towards the big man.
Hun looked up, with a confused look on his face before his body had been buried in bricks. Hun was trapped underneath the bricks and Harry used the distraction to slip away, picking up the stolen Naginata as he went.
The Foot Ninjas did not stay out for long, as they got up, following pursuit of wizard. Hun burst angrily out of the bricks and joined the case. No little brat was going to get the better of him; Hun would make sure the Potter boy would pay for humiliating him.
Harry leaped from rooftop to rooftop but the fifty Foot Ninjas, the three Foot Tech Ninjas, and one pissed off Purple Dragon wielding a pipe was following him across the city, dogging his every step. Harry could not shake them, as Harry briefly wondered, his paranoid Slytherin sense kicking in, if they were setting up for something bigger than the attack, which had taken place so far. Harry just could not figure out what that might be.
The chase lasted only a short time before Harry just collapsed. He could not stand to battle any more. He had been drained from the assault, worn down by sheer numbers. It was not due to a lack of skill he was in this predicament but by the overwhelming numbers of the foot. Harry's pursuers joined the attack but Harry threw himself behind a power antenna as Hun and the three Foot Tech Ninjas leaped down in front. Hun charged Harry but Harry grabbed the power antenna before whipping it back. The antenna struck Hun in the face, causing Hun to fly back into the rainwater below.
Lighting flashed across the sky, as Hun picked up, rubbing his jaw, blood pouring from his nose from getting whacked in the face from the metal antenna. Hun prepared to go after Harry to knock him around but stopped, spotting something on a rooftop higher up then where the Foot and Harry were. Hun started chuckling at what was about to happen before turning, along with the Foot Ninjas, to bow at this new presence.
Harry turned to see what Hun was looking at. Standing high on top of the building was four elite looking ninjas, dressed in red and black cloaks with the Foot symbol on them, with red capes, with red clothes obscuring their mouths. They also had mushroom hats on their heads and they had demonic glowing red eyes. Each was wielding different weapons. One carried a trident, another a battle-axe, the third a double-edge sword, and the final ninja wielding a spear. They looked extremely dangerous and ready to do some serious damage to someone, most likely Harry.
Harry had enough of this mess, he was going to take an offensive and right now. He leaped up but the four mysterious red and black-cloaked ninjas teleported out of Harry's line of sight in a puff of smoke. They reappeared in the same puff of smoke below and joined the normal Foot Ninjas on the ground. The Foot Ninjas, the Foot Tech Ninjas, Hun, and these new ninjas all turned, bowing to yet another presence.
Reluctantly, Harry looked above and what he saw chilled Harry to the bone, seeing who he saw standing high above him
"No," whispered Harry in a terrified voice.
Indeed, standing high above the building, as lighting flashed upon the sky, was the head honcho of the Foot, the most skilled and vicious fighter of all of the Foot. The man who Harry thought to be dead after getting squashed by the water tower that night on the roof but apparently he was not as dead as it appeared. Indeed, The Shredder was looking down at Harry, the red eyes within his helmet glowing with disdain.
In a flash, the four red and black cloaked ninjas teleported up in a flash of smoke. Harry attempted to fight but the ninja with the spear knocked the Naginata right out of Harry's hand and they pounded the ever-living stuffing out of Harry. Harry was kicked and punched in the ribs, dozens of times, falling to his knees. One of the red and black-cloaked ninjas sliced towards Harry's face with the double-edged sword, opening a nasty gash underneath his right eye. Blood dripped down from Harry's face and Harry came within a few inches of losing his right eye due to the hands of that ninja.
The red and black-cloaked ninjas callously kicked Harry over to the ledge, and Harry held on for his life, dangling on the side of the ledge, but barely. Calmly, one of the red and black cloaked ninjas walked over, kicking Harry right in the face, right in the area of the gash in his eye, causing him to fly back to his doom.
At the warehouse, the Turtles were pacing around nervously. Splinter got up, leaning on his cane.
"This is really getting unnerving," said Leo in a low voice.
"I know, Harry should have checked in by now," said Michelangelo in a low tone, worried tone of voice. "What if something happened to him?"
"This is a first, but I agree with Mikey," said Donatello.
Raphael turned to Master Splinter who was walking towards the nearest exit himself.
"Master Splinter, should we..." stared Raph but Splinter cut him off.
"Go," said Splinter in a short tone of voice.
The Turtles prepared to go off and search for their brother but a whooshing sound halted their progress to go out. The four Turtles and Splinter looked up to see Harry came sailing into the warehouse, by way of through a glass window. Harry landed to the ground with a thud, surrounded by broken pieces of glass, while lying in a pool of his own blood, cut up from going through the glass.
They looked at Harry in horror, as blood gushed out of the nasty gash underneath his eye.
"Harry," screamed Leonardo in horror. "Speak to us, please."
"Who did this to you?" said Michelangelo anxiously.
"I am going to go and find who did this!" yelled Raphael in anger, drawing his sides.
"Raph, wait," said Harry weakly from the floor.
"What, Harry, why?" asked Raphael.
"He's back, Raph, he's back," whispered Harry weakly.
"Who's back, Harry?" asked Leonardo, wondering what could have happened.
Harry lifted his head a half an inch up the ground, with a terrified glare within his eyes, gathering up all his strength to warn his brothers and Master Splinter of the danger that was coming shortly.
"The Shredder," whispered Harry before collapsing to the ground, passing out from the pain of the beating he suffered from the Foot.

To top this situation off, Harry knew he could not get to his Portus-Amulet in time, as he was too busy trying not to become sliced and diced by a dozen Foot Ninjas. The Foot Ninjas charged at Harry, but Harry threw himself on the ground and his attackers had hit nothing but thin air. Seizing his opportunity, Harry sprung up, to knock one of his opponents back with a kick, and stole his sword. Another Foot Ninja charged Harry but Harry ducked and broke the ninja's weapon in half with a simple swipe of his sword.
Four Foot Ninjas charged but Harry once again avoided their attacks. They turned back around to face their opponent. Harry took out two of the ninjas with a split kick and blocked a sword shot by the third before sweeping the leg out from underneath the assassin. Harry struck down a fourth adversary with a punch.
The remaining six ninjas charged Harry but Harry managed to back flip over them. Harry landed on his feet wasting little time in kicking two in the back while punching the third into the back of the head. Leaping up, Harry sliced one of the Foot Ninja's in the chest with the sword. The warrior clutched his chest before falling to the ground, not moving. The remaining two ninjas attempted to attack Harry but Harry threw himself to his back before kicking his feet up. Harry flipped them over onto their backs.

"This is a first, but I agree with Mikey," said Don.
Raph turned to Master Splinter who was walking towards the nearest exit himself.
"Master Splinter, should we..." stared Raph but Splinter cut him off.
"Go," said Splinter in a short tone of voice.
The Turtles prepared to go off and search for their brother but a whooshing sound halted their progress to go out. The four Turtles and Splinter looked up to see Harry came sailing into the warehouse, by way of through a glass window. Harry landed to the ground with a thud, surrounded by broken pieces of glass, while lying in a pool of his own blood, cut up from going through the glass.
They looked at Harry in horror, as blood gushed out of the nasty gash underneath his eye.
"Harry," screamed Leo in horror. "Speak to us, please."
"Who did this to you?" said Mikey anxiously.
"I am going to go and find who did this!" yelled Raph in anger, drawing his sides.
"Raph, wait," said Harry weakly from the floor.
"What, Harry, why?" asked Raph.
"He's back, Raph, he's back," whispered Harry weakly.
"Who's back, Harry?" asked Leo, wondering what could have happened.
Harry lifted his head a half an inch up the ground, with a terrified glare within his eyes, gathering up all his strength to warn his brothers and Master Splinter of the danger that was coming shortly.
"The Shredder," whispered Harry before collapsing to the ground, passing out from the pain of the beating he suffered from the Foot.
Harry looked around at the Foot Ninjas surrounding him at the moment. This predicament was definitely not one he wanted to be in at this time, especially without a weapon and had made a vow not to ever use magic to harm Muggles, as it would make him no better than the Dursleys, at least that is how Harry felt in his mind. To top this situation off, Harry knew he could not get to his Portus-Amulet in time, as he was too busy trying not to become sliced and diced by a dozen Foot Ninjas. The Foot Ninjas charged at Harry, but Harry threw himself on the ground and the Foot Ninjas hit air. Seizing his opportunity, Harry leaped up, kicking one of the Foot Ninjas, and stealing his sword. Another Foot Ninja charged Harry but Harry ducked and leaped up, before breaking the ninja's weapon in half with a simple swipe of his sword.
Four Foot Ninjas charged but Harry leaped up over them and they turned around. Harry took out two of the ninjas with a split kick and blocked a sword shot by the third before sweeping the leg out from underneath the assassin. Harry punched the fourth ninja in the face.
The remaining six ninjas charged Harry but Harry managed to back flip over them, kicking two in the back while punching the third into the back of the head. Leaping up, Harry sliced one of the Foot Ninja's in the chest with the sword. The Foot Ninja clutched his chest before falling to the ground, not moving. The remaining two ninjas attempted to attack Harry but Harry threw himself to his back before kicking his feet up. Harry flipped them over onto their backs.
Harry turned around, wiping the sweat off of his forehead as the rain poured down from the sky. Harry took a step forward but on another rooftop higher up, he saw trouble in the form of more Foot Ninjas yet, eight of them to be exact. They leaped down to Harry but Harry rolled forward, slicing a clothesline wire before using it to swing across the city to a second rooftop, away from harm or so it appeared.
Harry looked up where he landed and more Foot Ninjas were closing on him. Three of the Foot Ninjas charged, wielding spears. One attempted to stick the spear straight into Harry's stomach but Harry expertly lifted up before bouncing off the spear and taking two of the Foot Ninjas out with a split kick. Three of the Ninjas closed in on Harry, wielding the ever dangerous, Kusari-Gama. They swung the sickles towards Harry but Harry managed to bat them back with a vicious swipe of his sword.
Without warning, Harry leaped up, latching onto one of the head of one of the Foot Ninja before snapping it back. With a sickening crack, the Foot Ninja fell back. His two fellow Ninjas went towards Harry, managing to wrap the chains from the Kusari-Gama in around his feet and attempt to drag him forward to attempt to jab the sickles into his body but Harry managed to slice himself free from the chains with his stolen sword. The impact from the viciousness of the blow sent the two Foot Ninjas flying back, off the edge of the building towards parts unknown.
Harry picked up the chain sliced off from the Kusari-Gama. Two Foot Ninjas charged him and Harry tossed the chain at them, managing to cause it to wrap around one of the Foot Ninja's feet and causing him to fly face first onto the pavement but his fellow Foot Ninja continued the chase, raising his Naginata up into the air and slicing Harry's stolen sword in half. Harry decided to go for the more old fashion method of fighting, namely bringing his knee a bit south of the border namely into the crotch of the Foot Ninja. The Foot Ninja dropped to the ground, in agony as Harry picked up his Naginata to use as his new temporary weapon before attempting to get away from the heat of the battle.
Back at the abandoned sporting good's warehouse, the Turtles were just waking up from sleeping. Splinter had been up for several hours and was enjoying a sushi tray and some tea for breakfast.
"Hey, where is Harry?" asked Leo, noticing his human brother was missing from the warehouse.
"Your brother has gone on a walk to think over some events which happened in the past few weeks, I suspect he will be returning any moment right now," said Splinter.
Donatello looked outside, seeing the storm brewing and the sound of thunder in the distance.
"Harry is nuts to be out in this, he'll get soaked," said Donatello.
"Hey, Harry just fought a fifty foot snake, I am pretty sure he can handle a little bit of rain," said Mikey in a reassuring voice.
Harry was still holding his own against Foot Ninjas on the rooftops but barely. The blasted ninjas seemed to be multiplying at an alarming rate, like rabbits. He wondered if this was some twisted Ninja vendetta thing for Splinter knocking Shredder off that roof and finishing him off that night over a year ago.
Harry leaped up, jabbing his way through the hordes with the Naginata, before leaping up, using the Foot Ninja's heads as a way to propel himself to a higher rooftop and away from trouble. Harry dropped to his hands and knees, he had been fighting Ninjas for at least twenty minutes, and they had been relentless in their assault. The fun had just begun as when Harry looked up, a trio of Invisible Foot Ninjas had just made themselves visible. These ruthless assassins were known as the Foot Tech Ninjas and they had more advanced strength and stealth capabilities then their normal counterparts.
Harry cursed his rotten luck and leaped up, attempting for the attack but the Foot Tech Ninjas pressed the button that activated the cloaking controls on their armor. Harry looked up and his invisible foes hit him with a full force attack. As well as kicked by his invisible foes and lifted up into the air and slammed onto the ground, before getting kicked into the ribs while he was on the ground. The kicks came in succession over and over again, as the Foot Tech Ninjas seemed to be wearing Harry down for a final blow.
Harry felt himself being lifted up and tossed off the edge of the building. It was a long drop, a long fifty-foot drop, all the way down to the concrete below.
At the warehouse, the Turtles were sitting around, finishing their breakfast, a unique combo of soda, chips, and chocolate and their seemed to be a bit of worry setting in.
"Now, I think Harry really should have gotten back by now," said Michelangelo. "He normally does not stay out this long."
"Mikey, Harry was through a lot the past year and no doubt he needed time to reflect upon it," said Leo. "Besides, how much trouble can he get into out there."
"I agree with Leo, after fighting that fifty foot snake, I doubt, Harry could get into anything worse for a long time," said Raph. "He can handle himself."
Splinter felt a feeling of unease that he could not explain. It felt as if an old enemy thought vanquished was beginning to stir once again but the wise old rat attempted to cast it out of his mind. He would wait fifteen more minutes before allowing himself to go into worry at his son being gone for so long.
Outside the building, Harry managed to stick his Naginata in the side of the building and grab on it to slow his decent, pushing off, Harry managed to propel himself to a ledge, before climbing up. Harry could sense the Foot Tech Ninjas coming back to check on him. He decided since he could not see his foes, he would shield his eyesight so he could focus on using other senses.
Harry ripped off a sleeve of his shirt and made it into a makeshift blindfold, putting it around his eyes. He could hear the Foot Tech Ninjas closing in, their steps making a sound in the rainwater. Harry leaped up, managing to slash one of the cloaking controls with the stolen Naginata. A burning smell existed and Harry kicked one of the Foot Tech Ninjas back. The Foot Tech Ninja fell back into the water, becoming visible and getting a small shock in the water by his cloaking control malfunctioning. The Foot Tech Ninja thanked his luck stars Baxter Stockman, the inventor of the Foot Tech armor, made the cloaking controls virtually shockproof, just in case of an event like that.
The Third Foot Tech Ninja attempted to attack Harry but Harry stabbed his Naginata right into the cloaking control. Another sizzling sound and the third Foot Tech Ninja became visible, stunned by the shot. Harry pulled off his makeshift blindfold, breathing heavily. No doubt more trouble would be on the way. Harry decided he had to keep on the move. As he looked over his shoulder, Harry could see an army of Foot Ninja chasing him across the rooftop.
Despite being obviously tired and winded from the battle so far, Harry kept up his pace, as the Foot Ninjas chased him across the city. Harry must not let them catch him. If he could give them the slip, he could get back to the warehouse undetected. He attempted to take a detour to throw them off but the Foot Ninjas kept on Harry, no doubt not wanting to lose their prey.
The Turtles were starting to get more worried as time goes on. The four exchanged uneasy looks before Raphael began to voice what the others were thinking about their brother.
"You know, I really think we should be looking for Harry right about now," said Raphael in an agitated voice. "He has been gone for an awful long time."
Raphael got up, in an attempt to get after Harry but Splinter grabbed his arm.
"Stay put, Raphael," said Splinter sternly. "If we are to look for your brother, we are going to do it together. We shall wait about five more minutes before making plans to head out."
"But Master Splinter..." said Raph but Splinter was unmoving.
"Sit, Raphael," said Splinter in a tone of voice that left no room for argument.
Raphael sat down, gritting his teeth in agitating.
"What a jip!" said Raphael underneath his breath. "We are sitting here, cooped up in this blasted warehouse while Harry gets to go out and do goodness knows what."
Raphael continued to sat, his arms folded, moving his leg in agitated, obviously bursting to get out of the warehouse, and pick a fight with the first person that looked at him cross-eyed.
The chase involving Harry and the Foot Ninjas across the city had continued before Harry fell to his hands and knees, not able to move anymore. Harry turned onto his back, shakily pulling himself up, as at least fifty Foot Ninjas formed a wall in front of him. The three Foot Tech Ninjas came out in front but they had just joined by a special guest, a new addition to Harry's trouble. The fight was about to get more painful, as Shredder's right hand man and the official leader of the Purple Dragons street gang, the mountain of a man known simply as Hun, had joined the battle.
Hun walked up to Harry, cracking his knuckles. Harry knew he would have to use his speed and agility to wear down Hun as he knew there was no way he could fight a man Hun's size head on. Hun leaped up into the air, preparing to blast Harry in the face with one of his beefy fists, but Harry leaped up over Hun. The behemoth grunted in confusion, before turning around when Harry tapped him on the back with the Naginata.
Hun went after Harry, attempting to punch the lights out of him but Harry rolled underneath and kicked Hun into the back, causing the big man to fall clumsily onto his face. Hun popped up, growling in anger, before ripping a pipe loose from the roof. The big man gave a mighty bellow, managing to knock the Naginata from Harry's hand before knocking him back with a vicious shot to the ribs with the pipe. Harry flew back and Hun dropped the pipe before cracking his knuckles, walking forward for the closing blow, raising his fist into the air towards Harry.
Harry looked up, as he saw his back was to a chimney. Hun advanced on Harry, raising his fist into the air. At the last possible moment, the Boy-Who-Lived maneuvered his body out of the way of the coming fist aimed at his face, no doubt about to crush it and Hun cracked his knuckles into the bricks of the chimney. Harry slipped behind, as the bricks had been loosened. Leaping up, Harry kicked the bricks towards Hun, toppling them towards the big man.
Hun looked up, with a confused look on his face before his body had been buried in bricks. Hun was trapped underneath the bricks and Harry used the distraction to slip away, picking up the stolen Naginata as he went.
The Foot Ninjas did not stay out for long, as they got up, following pursuit of wizard. Hun burst angrily out of the bricks and joined the case. No little brat was going to get the better of him; Hun would make sure the Potter boy would pay for humiliating him.
Harry leaped from rooftop to rooftop but the fifty Foot Ninjas, the three Foot Tech Ninjas, and one pissed off Purple Dragon wielding a pipe was following him across the city, dogging his every step. Harry could not shake them, as Harry briefly wondered, his paranoid Slytherin sense kicking in, if they were setting up for something bigger than the attack, which had taken place so far. Harry just could not figure out what that might be.
The chase lasted only a short time before Harry just collapsed. He could not stand to battle any more. He had been drained from the assault, worn down by sheer numbers. It was not due to a lack of skill he was in this predicament but by the overwhelming numbers of the foot. Harry's pursuers joined the attack but Harry threw himself behind a power antenna as Hun and the three Foot Tech Ninjas leaped down in front. Hun charged Harry but Harry grabbed the power antenna before whipping it back. The antenna struck Hun in the face, causing Hun to fly back into the rainwater below.
Lighting flashed across the sky, as Hun picked up, rubbing his jaw, blood pouring from his nose from getting whacked in the face from the metal antenna. Hun prepared to go after Harry to knock him around but stopped, spotting something on a rooftop higher up then where the Foot and Harry were. Hun started chuckling at what was about to happen before turning, along with the Foot Ninjas, to bow at this new presence.
Harry turned to see what Hun was looking at. Standing high on top of the building was four elite looking ninjas, dressed in red and black cloaks with the Foot symbol on them, with red capes, with red clothes obscuring their mouths. They also had mushroom hats on their heads and they had demonic glowing red eyes. Each was wielding different weapons. One carried a trident, another a battle-axe, the third a double-edge sword, and the final ninja wielding a spear. They looked extremely dangerous and ready to do some serious damage to someone, most likely Harry.
Harry had enough of this mess, he was going to take an offensive and right now. He leaped up but the four mysterious red and black-cloaked ninjas teleported out of Harry's line of sight in a puff of smoke. They reappeared in the same puff of smoke below and joined the normal Foot Ninjas on the ground. The Foot Ninjas, the Foot Tech Ninjas, Hun, and these new ninjas all turned, bowing to yet another presence.
Reluctantly, Harry looked above and what he saw chilled Harry to the bone, seeing who he saw standing high above him
"No," whispered Harry in a terrified voice.
Indeed, standing high above the building, as lighting flashed upon the sky, was the head honcho of the Foot, the most skilled and vicious fighter of all of the Foot. The man who Harry thought to be dead after getting squashed by the water tower that night on the roof but apparently he was not as dead as it appeared. Indeed, The Shredder was looking down at Harry, the red eyes within his helmet glowing with disdain.
In a flash, the four red and black cloaked ninjas teleported up in a flash of smoke. Harry attempted to fight but the ninja with the spear knocked the Naginata right out of Harry's hand and they pounded the ever-living stuffing out of Harry. Harry was kicked and punched in the ribs, dozens of times, falling to his knees. One of the red and black-cloaked ninjas sliced towards Harry's face with the double-edged sword, opening a nasty gash underneath his right eye. Blood dripped down from Harry's face and Harry came within a few inches of losing his right eye due to the hands of that ninja.
The red and black-cloaked ninjas callously kicked Harry over to the ledge, and Harry held on for his life, dangling on the side of the ledge, but barely. Calmly, one of the red and black cloaked ninjas walked over, kicking Harry right in the face, right in the area of the gash in his eye, causing him to fly back to his doom.
At the warehouse, the Turtles were pacing around nervously. Splinter got up, leaning on his cane.
"This is really getting unnerving," said Leo in a low voice.
"I know, Harry should have checked in by now," said Michelangelo in a low tone, worried tone of voice. "What if something happened to him?"
"This is a first, but I agree with Mikey," said Donatello.
Raphael turned to Master Splinter who was walking towards the nearest exit himself.
"Master Splinter, should we..." stared Raph but Splinter cut him off.
"Go," said Splinter in a short tone of voice.

Chapter Seventeen: The Shredder Strikes Back Part One
Harry looked around at the Foot Ninjas surrounding him at the moment. This predicament was definitely not one he wanted to be in at this time, especially without a weapon. To top this situation off, Harry knew he could not get to his Portus-Amulet in time, as he was too busy trying not to become sliced and diced by a dozen Foot Ninjas. The Foot Ninjas charged at Harry, but Harry threw himself on the ground and his attackers had hit nothing but thin air. Seizing his opportunity, Harry sprung up, to knock one of his opponents back with a kick, and stole his sword. Another Foot Ninja charged Harry but Harry ducked and broke the ninja's weapon in half with a simple swipe of his sword.
Four Foot Ninjas charged but Harry once again avoided their attacks. They turned back around to face their opponent. Harry took out two of the ninjas with a split kick and blocked a sword shot by the third before sweeping the leg out from underneath the assassin. Harry struck down a fourth adversary with a punch.
The remaining six ninjas charged Harry but Harry managed to back flip over them. Harry landed on his feet wasting little time in kicking two in the back while punching the third into the back of the head. Leaping up, Harry sliced one of the Foot Ninja's in the chest with the sword. The warrior clutched his chest before falling to the ground, not moving. The remaining two ninjas attempted to attack Harry but Harry threw himself to his back before kicking his feet up. Harry flipped them over onto their backs.

Harry decided to go for the more old fashion method of fighting, namely bringing his knee a bit south of the border namely into the crotch of the Foot Ninja.

Indeed, The Shredder was looking down at Harry, the red eyes within his helmet glowing with disdain.
In a flash, the four red and black cloaked ninjas teleported up in a flash of smoke. Harry attempted to fight but the ninja with the spear knocked the Naginata right out of Harry's hand and they pounded the ever-living stuffing out of Harry. Harry was kicked and punched in the ribs, dozens of times, falling to his knees. One of the red and black-cloaked ninjas sliced towards Harry's face with the double-edged sword, opening a nasty gash underneath his right eye. Blood dripped down from Harry's face and Harry came within a few inches of losing his right eye due to the hands of that ninja.
The red and black-cloaked ninjas callously kicked Harry over to the ledge, and Harry held on for his life, dangling on the side of the ledge, but barely. Calmly, one of the red and black cloaked ninjas walked over, kicking Harry right in the face, right in the area of the gash in his eye, causing him to fly back to his doom.
At the warehouse, the Turtles were pacing around nervously. Splinter got up, leaning on his cane.
"This is really getting unnerving," said Leo in a low voice.
"I know, Harry should have checked in by now," said Mikey in a low tone, worried tone of voice. "What if something happened to him?"
"This is a first, but I agree with Mikey," said Don.
Raph turned to Master Splinter who was walking towards the nearest exit himself.
"Master Splinter, should we..." stared Raph but Splinter cut him off.
"Go," said Splinter in a short tone of voice.
The Turtles prepared to go off and search for their brother but a whooshing sound halted their progress to go out. The four Turtles and Splinter looked up to see Harry came sailing into the warehouse, by way of through a glass window. Harry landed to the ground with a thud, surrounded by broken pieces of glass, while lying in a pool of his own blood, cut up from going through the glass.
They looked at Harry in horror, as blood gushed out of the nasty gash underneath his eye.
"Harry," screamed Leo in horror. "Speak to us, please."
"Who did this to you?" said Mikey anxiously.
"I am going to go and find who did this!" yelled Raph in anger, drawing his sides.
"Raph, wait," said Harry weakly from the floor.
"What, Harry, why?" asked Raph.
"He's back, Raph, he's back," whispered Harry weakly.
"Who's back, Harry?" asked Leo, wondering what could have happened.
Harry lifted his head a half an inch up the ground, with a terrified glare within his eyes, gathering up all his strength to warn his brothers and Master Splinter of the danger that was coming shortly.
"The Shredder," whispered Harry before collapsing to the ground, passing out from the pain of the beating he suffered from the Foot.
