Heyya everyone! This is my first ever fanfiction so please be nice to me. I have had this idea FOREVER and I finally decided to put it into action. I do not own the TMNT and frankly I do not know any person who writes fanfictions who does own them. In fact, the only person I know who wrote a fanfiction about something, was a girl who wrote about Xmen. I am very jealous of her. Anyway, my writing program doesn't show if I misspelt anything, so I am very sorry if I misspell anything. EEEEEEEENJOY MY LOVELY READERS!
IMPORTANT! IN THIS STORY THE SHREDDER HAS ALREADY FOUND OUT ABOUT HAMATO AND HAS ALREADY FOUGHT HIM AND SPLINTER HAS FOUND OUT ABOUT MIWA. EVEN THOUGH THE TURTLES ARE LIKE 10. SHREDDER ALSO KNOWS ABOUT THE TURTLES. OK NOW FOR THE STORY.
A 10 year old Leo sat on the dojo floor, his legs crossed. He was in a deep meditation, so he didn't notice his father coming into the room. Splinter cleared his throat loudly and Leo opened his eyes and turned to Splinter. Splinter looked distracted, sad, and confident all at the same time. "Is something wrong?" Leo asked.
Splinter sighed and placed his paw on Leonardo's shoulder. "Come, I wish to take you to the surface." splinter told him quietly. Leo's heart soared at this news. "Only us?" He asked gleefully, jumping to his feet.
"Yes, only us. Do not tell your brothers, they will want to come too. We will tell them that we are going to scavenge in the dark part of the sewers." Splinter told him. Leo shuddered, the dark part of the sewers was disgusting and always smelled like all of New York City had died down there and were covered in moldy cheese.
Splinter began to leave to dojo and was quickly followed by his eldest. He could feel the excitement radiating off the small turtle, but splinter knew the truth. The real reason why they were going up to the surface, not for training, but for peace.
They bumped into the other boys as they passed through the living room. Mikey had stolen the game controllers and Raph and Donnie where trying to get them back. "My sons! Stop!" Splinter barked. They stopped dead in their tracks and faced Splinter.
"Me and your brother are going to Scavenge in the dark part of the sewers." Splinter informed them. " Ew! I feel bad for you Leo." Donnie said sympathetically to Leo. Leo tried to sound sad and disgusted as he answered. "It's ok don." Raph and mikey were laughing their shells off as Splinter and Leo left the lair for the surface.
As they climbed up the slimy ladder, Leo was shaking with excitement. When he saw light filtering through the manhole cover and he began to climb faster, eager to escape the sewer. Once he had removed the manhole cover, he crawled onto the surface and gasped at the sight.
"Wow." He murmured as Splinter came out after him. Leo was staring, his eyes wide at the sight of the stars. He reached out, trying to touch one. Splinter gazed sadly at his son, then said briskly "Come."
Leo followed his sensei up the side of a building using the fire escape. He was still trying to take in all the scenery around him. The buildings, the roads, the cars, and the stars. His favorite star was the one that seemed to shine the brightest.
"I like that star!" He exclaimed as he pointed to the sky. Splinter turned around and saw the light of the moon bathing his son as he pointed into the sky. He looked so peaceful, so happy. "We must hurry, Leonardo." Splinter commanded and Leo stopped staring into the sky and back at his sensei. They continued on, Leonardo was too excited to be tired as they jumped over rooftop after rooftop.
Eventually they stopped on a building to catch their breath. "Can we go back now sensei?" Leo asked as he sat on the roof, trying to catch his breath. Splinter shook his head, he was waiting.
Leo started to fall asleep when a tall figure jumped onto the roof. He had a strange helmet on, and shiny armor. He had many soldiers surrounding him carrying various weapons and a young girl stood next to him. She was very pretty, but they looked like trouble, so Leo took out his katana and got into a fighting position.
"Put it away, Leonardo." Splinter commanded. Leo slowly put away his blades and stared at the man. "Hamato Yoshi. Have you brought what I asked for?" The man asked. Slinter nodded, then suddenly touched a pressure point on Leo, making him fall in a heap on the roof.
Leo cried out, confused. The man smiled from behind his helmet, then hit the girl hard over her head so she fell unconscious. One of the soldiers threw the girl across the roof, and splinter caught her. Leo started to cry as one came to him and dragged him across the roof to the sharp man. Leo looked back to his father and saw him throw down a smoke bomb. When the smoke cleared, he was gone. "SENSEI!" Leo screamed.
"You are no longer his child, you are my way to break Yoshi." The sharp man said. "What?" Leo asked, trying to keep his voice from shaking. "He will come back for you. He will try to get you back. I will let him take you, after I've had my FUN of course." He said coldly.
Leo felt a sharp prick in his neck and saw that a soldier had put a dart in his neck. "Take him to the dungeon. Make sure he is secured." The sharp man said before Leo gave in to the drugs in his system.
Leo slowly opened his eyes and saw that he was in a cell of some type. It was cold and wet, and he was chained to the wall by his wrists and ankles. There was also a chain around his neck. He tried to break free, but to no avail. He reached for his Katana, but it wasn't there.
In fact, none of his gear was there. Only his mask remained on his head. He looked out the small window on his cell, and saw the star shining still. 'You'll be ok! I'm still here! I'll never leave!' It seemed to say as it twinkled in the sky. This made him feel a little better but he was still haunted by the question, why did his sensei give him up? He gave him up for a stranger.
"But he's coming back for me." Leo told himself. He sat in the dark for a while, waiting for his sensei or brothers. His brothers weren't as skilled as him in being a ninja, but they could still get the job done. Leo could hear a metal door grinding open and he straightened up and looked too see who would appear.
A huge tiger appeared in the doorway. He wore a blue scarf, and had an eyepatch covering his eye. "Hello cub." He said his voice booming. Leo tried not to shake and held his gaze with the tiger. "Master shredder wanted me to welcome you." He said as he took a key from his pocket and opened the door. He walked over to Leo and grabbed his chained wrist.
"Welcome to the foot cub." He growled as he twisted his wrist. Leo heard a snap, and his hand felt like it was fire. He cried as the tiger stood back up and walked up out of the room, locking the door behind him. Leo cried out for his family, for his brothers. They didn't come.
He tried his best to make the chains not hurt his hand more than it already was. He sobbed for what seemed like hours until he fell asleep.
Leo awoke to the loud metal door opening and he saw the sharp man enter his cell. "Hello boy." He said as blades came from the things on his wrist. "Let me take care of that arm of yours. I hear it is hurting you." He said as he lifted the blades above his head, and dropped them on Leo's arm. Cutting off his hand.
So that was it. I will mainly be focusing on Leo, but will definitely have some chapters with the other turtles and Splinter and Karai. Thank you for reading and please comment happy thoughts!
