I won't let you

Slash's POV

I don't own TMNT

Slash finally found him. After weeks of recovering and training, Slash started searching for a certain mutant turtle. He has now found his prey after days of jumping from rooftop to rooftop, taking extra care to stay under the cover of the shadows. He is now waiting in these same shadows behind the turtle and his brothers, preparing for the most opportune moment to strike.

"Anything on the mutagen tracker yet Donnie?" asked Mikey.

"For the thousandth time, no!" said an agitated Donnie.

"Ugh, can we just keep on moving? We're wasting time that could be used to fight some Purple Dragons or Foot!" complained Raph. Why Raph why? Why did you pick your brothers over your best friend?

"Yeah, there's nothing happening here. Let's go," ordered Leo as he headed to where Slash was. Slash gripped his mace tightly. That's it scum, come closer.

"Woo hoo!" cried Mikey as he slapped Raph's shell. "We're outta here!" Raph growled and pulled Mikey into a headlock and gave him a good head noogie.

"Hey! Stop that!"

"You sure? I could do this forever."

"Yes I'm sure! Let me go!"

"I don't know Mikey. You look pretty comfortable," joked Donnie. Leo stopped just a few feet out of Slash's reach and turned around. Slash heard a slight chuckle come out of the eldest turtle's mouth.

"Who wasting time now Raph? Let him go so we can leave."

"Whatever you say fearless leader." Raph then let Mikey go, who immediately rubbed his head, moaning a bit. Leo then turned around and started moving towards Slash again. Just a few more feet…just one more foot…there!

"Hello." Leo's eyes widened as he recognized Slash's figure. He tried to dodge but it was too late. Slash swung his mace, which hit Leo squarely on his side and sent him flying to the wall. Leo didn't get up. Good.

"Leo!" cried his brothers. Slash stepped out of the shadows. The turtles' widened in fear and recognition.

"I would love to stay and chat, but I still have a pressing matter to intend to," said Slash with a sneer. He then ventured towards Leo. Once he was gone…

"Oh no you don't!" yelled Raph. Slash was then attacked by the remaining brothers.

"We won't let you near him!" cried Donnie.

"Yeah, if you want him, you have to fight us!" added Mikey. Slash shrugged.

"Very well." Slash then swung his mace at Donnie, who dodged it. Donnie then aimed for his head while Mikey aimed for his back and Raph for his side. Slash growled and managed to grab Donnie's bo. He then proceeded to swing the bo, with Donnie still hanging on, around in a full circle. The result was that Donnie's head collided with Mikey's, whose body then crashed into Raph's. Donnie and Mikey both got knocked back several feet in one direction and didn't get up. Raph also got knocked back in a different direction but after a few seconds started to slowly get up. He also didn't have his sai. But even better was that he was the closest to Leo. Perfect.

"The last time we met, I thought I had the perfect plan to make you the warrior you are meant to be. Get rid of your brothers, and you wouldn't be held back anymore," Slash said as he moved closer to Leo.

"Well it wasn't perfect. I defeated you! And it is because of my brothers that I am becoming a better warrior!" yelled Raph as he finally got up, looking around of his missing sai.

"You are almost right Raph. It wasn't a perfect plan. But I had the right idea. I just didn't count on the fact that you loved your brothers more than me." Slash had reached Leo by this point and pulled the katanas out of their sheaths.

"You are still being held back Raphael. But not by three brothers. Just one." Slash held the katanas high above his head.

"The one who you hold in the highest regard. The one you are the closest to. Say goodbye to your leader Raph." Slash lunged.

"NOOOOOO!" The Katanas went through mutant turtle flesh. But instead of feeling satisfied, Slash was horrified. Why Raph why?
