Hey guys! I apologize to those I promised that this would be up on the weekend. Time goes by too fast, got distracted, school is hard, blah blah blah. But anyway, check out this new book! I'm really excited for it! Even though this chapter is not my best. A new one should be up soon!

If you have not read the other books, you should, but this will still make some sense in the matter that it takes place in season 2 of the TMNT 2012 series. You will see that there are three of my OCs in here so don't be alarmed! I try to make the dialog as close to the show as possible.

Alright! I'll set you loose! 1, 2, 3, GO!


With time, Raph began to heal. Though it was also much to his dislike, Raph was forced to sit it out and watch his brother's spar. He sat on the sidelines with Christy, Ruben, and even Jacob, who was promised he could have a cookie if he sat still for the whole session. Raph looked over and saw this plan slowly deteriorating as Jacob became more and more anxious and jittery. He chuckled at the youngest child, who was fidgeting and squirming.

None of the others noticed this, however; they were too enthralled in the scene playing out before them. It was Donnie and Mikey verses Leo, with no weapons. The two younger brothers circled their leader. Leo kept a calm still expression that did not waver until Mikey attacked first.

"Hoo-ah!" Mikey shouted as he sent a leg flying for Leo's face. Leo caught Mikey's leg and sent him hurling at Donnie. Donnie leaped to the side, avoiding his flailing brother, who eventually caught himself. Donnie dove forward and swiped at Leo's legs. The blue banded turtle jumped but could not avoid Mikey, who had leap-turtled over Donnie's back, and tackle Leo to the ground.

"Uh-huh! You got pinned son!' Mikey cheered as he sat on Leo's plastron. Leo grabbed Mikey's pointing arm and used both feet the kick Mikey's own plastron, causing him to fly away again, but this time towards the tree.

Splinter shook his head at the again upside-down Michelangelo with stars dancing in his vision, "The battle is not won."

Leo somersaulted backwards into a full standing position. Donnie gulped as his older brother ran at him. Using a roundhouse kick, Donnie managed to clip Leo's right arm out of the way, and it threw Leo off balance. "Heyah!" Donnie punched, but Leo blocked. Backing up, Leo became dangerously close to Raph, who decided to join in. Raph used his better arm to strike behind Leo's knees, and bring him down.

"Hey! Not fair Raph," Leo growled.

"Who said this was a fair fight?" Raph crossed his arms and smirked.

Leo snarled, but instantly was back in action as Donnie went at him again. Mikey gained his composure, and rejoined the brawl.

Later, after much tumbling, rolling, and tackling, Splinter decided that that was enough, and ended training for the day.

Splinter's ears went back in discomfort as he realized that something was off. looking around he could see three of his oldest sons, Leonardo, Donatello, and Michelangelo. To the side he saw Raphael, Christine, and Ruben...but where was Jacob?!

"My children," He started calmly, "Where is your brother, Jacob?"


Tell me what you think! I know it's not my best, but the next chapter will be better in my opinion.

I do not own anything in this story besides Ruben, Christine, and Jacob! TMNT is not mine!
