Reliving Nightmares(Ratigan, Basil)

[Master Splinter]

(OCC: August 8th, late afternoon. Four way battle between splinter, ratigan, drako and basil. First few pages will be ratigan and splinter then basil and drako enters the fray)

Splinter was wandering a bit minding his own business, training in the woods. He was doing some ninja poses, training himself to get his mind off certain things. He didn't feel right about not being there for basil during one of the battles that came. But splinter was told to stay guard for the critic's house, as it was susceptible to attack. So he awaited for the next change. Splinter's ears then heard some ruffling in the woods, then some snickering. Splinter replied curiously "Hello? Who's there?" He heard some snickering again. Splinter's red flags were warning him now. With his staff ready, he replied "Whoever is there show yourself now"

He then saw a shadowy figure enter the forest. He knew this might be a trap, so splinter quickly got his walkie talkie used for emergencies. He then pressed it "This is Splinter, I think there is a spy who inspected our house. I might need back up" He then put the walkie talkie in his robes before following the spy. He used his own masterful techniques to follow the spy. Then he cornered said person only to realize it was Ratigan. Splinter's eyes narrowed hatefully and he replied "You have a lot of nerve coming here sir. Surrender now and I might consider being merciful to you"

[Professor Padraic Ratigan]

Ratigan chuckled spotting Splinter alone. He could have his revenge on Basil and serve the army by hurting the father of the traitor Leonardo. Two birds with one stone. He smirked as the rat seemed to have known someone was there and he chuckled again. He stepped out of the shadows luring Splinter into a trap .

"You must be joking. I don't surrender. Certainly not to the likes of you. When I'm done with you your son will regret betraying Facilier 's army and I get to punish Basil as well. If only I could see how they'd react to your demise." said Ratigan.

He chuckled as he pulled out a sword and swung it at Splinter.

[Master Splinter]

Splinter's brown eyes narrowed angrily as ratigan proceeded to mock him. But then splinter's anger turned into rage as he threatened to take down both his lover and his eldest son. Splinter's eyes and ears narrowed at the threats. He wasn't intimidated but he felt disgusted at ratigan in particular. He had heard stories of him from basil and it was hard not to take it personally. The older rat then saw ratigan pull out a sword and quickly splinter dodged it having his staff block it. Splinter then aimed to strike ratigan to at least catch the other off guard. He then replied with some anger "Ratigan, as far as I am concerned, I intend to make sure you stay away from basil and my son"

He then sneered a bit, aiming to strike ratigan a bit more "Perhaps you are not as clever as you think you are. If you were you would know that threatening me is futile" He then kept fighting ratigan, thinking of something to distract ratigan but at the moment couldn't find anything. He hoped his walkie talkie warning would send someone down here later. But for now he was on his own, and ratigan seemed to be aware of this. Splinter knew ratigan would definitely fight dirty so he had to be careful.

[Professor Padraic Ratigan]

"I could care less of your traitor of a son. But we're prob a bly going to kill the lot of them anyway. Too much of an annoyance." said Ratigan.

Ratigan smirked.

"As for Basil and I well we have a history going back awhile. I 've tried to kill him before but nothing sticks." said Ratigan.

Ratigan chuckled.

"Or perhaps you underestimate how clever I really am." said Ratigan.

He chuckled.

"I don't make threats.I give warnings before I eliminate my targets. " said Ratigan..

He kept swinging his sword at Splinter.

[Master Splinter]

Splinter's ears narrowed more as he heard Ratigan apathetically mention his son once more. Strangely enough, he believed that Ratigan was being honest. He was more concerned about targeting basil and the others in this war were nothing more than obstacles. Splinter did however take it too personally to the idea of losing his children to a war. He attempted some attack moves against ratigan as the other rodent kept speaking. Splinter smirked a bit as ratigan commented none of his attempts to kill basil were successful "Of course they didn't. Basil is too smart and quick to be defeated by the likes of you" He snapped harshly

He then sneered some more as Ratigan claimed splinter underestimated him "I do not underestimate you at all, sir. I know what kind of person you are. You're nothing more than a brute and a savage" He attacked some more, dodging Ratigan's sword as Ratigan threatened to kill him. Splinter replied harshly "We'll just have to see who eliminates who then won't we?" He then jumped behind Ratigan, attempting to strike Ratigan hard across the back. He hoped it would stick but he wasn't sure.

[Professor Padraic Ratigan]

Ratigan chuckled.

"Oh no. He's clever but not too smart. He fell into one of my traps so brilliantly. If I hadn't had to go to complete a plan of mine he'd probably be toast. I admit I should have left some of my men behind to make sure my death trap worked. But next time he won't be so lucky." replied Ratigan.

Ratigan sneered at him.

"Then you don't know me at all. But it won't matter after tonight." said Ratigan.

He saw him jump behind him but he blocked it with his sword.

"If you thought you could defeat me so easily then you should think again." mentioned Ratigan.
