alright, here it goes...
Special thanks to 'Who am I. Well. I'm just Me' for helping me out with the idea. :)
"Raph, why can't you just accept the fact that Splinter made me leader?" Leo tried to reason with his hothead brother.
"I can't because you're a failure!" Raph hissed in retort.
"Raph..." Leo raised his voice in warning.
"You fail at everything, Leo. You couldn't even fight off the foot ninja when we were at April's! Face it, Fearless, you're useless."
Raph then punched Leo in the jaw and stalked into the dojo.
Mikey, who had watched it all unfold, walked over to a shocked Leo. "Bro, don't take it seriously, he and Casey had an arguement and Raph is in major cranky pants mode right now."
Leo, to shocked to speak, nodded and went to his room to meditate.
3:00 AM...
Leo groggily dragged himself downstairs to find Mikey playing Gear of Wars.
"Mikey, please go to sleep, it's three in the morning and we have training at eight." Leo said.
"Dude, just I'm almost done, give me another hour." Mikey said.
Leo pulled the plug to the TV.
"DUDE! I spent six hours playing that and I just lost all my progress! What is wrong with you?! Raph's right! You are a failure!" Mikey stormed off to bed.
As much as Leo tried to think that Mikey was sleep deprived and didn't mean anything he said, the words struck like a knife.
Leo dragged himself back to bed, it was going to be a long day.
The next day...
After dragging himself through practice and lunch, he notched that Don wasn't at lunch.
He threw together a deli sandwich and walked into the lab.
"Don, I..."
"Quiet, Leo, I'm about to finish something that might help penetrate the Shredder's body suit."
After a minute, Don took the tube and poured it on a piece of scrap metal. When nothing happened, Don cried out in rage.
"NO! I was sure I had it!"
"Maybe this is a bad..." Leo began.
"Shut up, Leo! I don't care about your dumb sandwich! Just get out before you mess something up like you always do!" Don saw the hurt flash across his eldest brother's face and, unlike his other brothers, immediately regretted it.
"Leo... I"
"I'm going to go get some air." Leo quickly ran out of the lair.
When Leo reached a certain distance, he began to quietly cry. What did his brothers have against him? He loved them but now, he was considering theirs.
He couldn't get their hateful words out of his mind.
He heard a noise and looked up, four or five foot ninja were standing on the rooftop next to him. In a matter of seconds, more appeared until he was completely surrounded.
Leo immediately took defensive position. Suddenly, a voice rang out.
"Leonardo, long time, no see." The Shredder stepped forward.
"Shredder." Leo prepared for an onslaught of attacks. When nothing came, he looked up and saw that the Shredder wasn't even raising his gauntlet.
"Get him to foot head quarters."
Leo kicked a foot ninja about to grab him and leaped over another. He was soon overwhelmed by the sheer numbers. They eventually got him pinned down and squirming to get free.
"Let's go." Leo was then dragged to foot headquarters.
At the lair...
"I'm worried, Leo should have been back by now." Don sighed. He felt bad about blowing up at his brother.
"Yeah, I'm really worried." Mikey agreed, he too wanted to apologize.
"Nah, he'll be fine, plus we finally have the dojo free." Raph wanted to, but didn't want to admit it.
They stared at the clock, hoping their brother was okay.
Foot HQ
Leo was led into a room with a large machine and a couple of foot.
"Sit." The Shredder commanded.
Leo sat as a foot ninja came forward with a tattoo needle.
"Courtesy of Stockman." The Shredder laughed as the foot symbol was engraved in Leo's arm.
They finished it and Leo smirked. "What did that do?"
Suddenly, he felt all his bones begin to move, he had felt pain before, but not like this.
Then, as quickly as it started, it stopped. Leo looked down to see the body of a human, a naked human.
"What did you do to me?!" He stopped, his voice sounded young.
The foot ninja held out a mirror and Leo's heart stopped. He was met with a skinny nine year old kid with black hair, pale skin and large brown eyes.
"It's more human DNA which worked with the mutagen to cause you to become a full human mixed with an anti- growth formula." The Shredder said then pushed Leo into the seat with the large machine over it.
A foot ninja strapped the machine to his head, flicked a switch and Leo knew no more.
At the lair...
"I can't find anything on his shell cell." Don said, frustrated and worried for Leo.
"That's cause he left it here!" Raph yelled.
"Where could he be?"
"I don't know."
Suddenly the phone rang. It was April
"Hello, April?"
'Any luck with Leo?'
"No, we don't know where the shell he is." Raph yelled.
'I'll keep looking.' Came the reply.
Don looked up and whispered "Leo, where are you?"
Foot HQ...
The Shredder watched as the former turtle was dressed and put in a hospital bed.
He stood up as the boy stirred.
"Hello, Leonardo." The Shredder whispered.
"Is that my name? Where am I?" Leo asked.
"Yes Leonardo, that is your name, I am your father, Oroku Saki, and you are at our medical institute."
"Um... what happened?"
"We were walking when a gang jumped us, they pinned me down and knocked you against a wall so hard, that you unfortunately lost your memory."
"Oh... I remember little bits and pieces."
"And what would those be?"
"Um... My favorite color is blue, I practice ninjutsu, I like katanas... that's it." Leo replied.
"Good, my son. You've healed fully now, let's get you back to your room."
The Shredder led Leo to a room with a large bed with blue covers. On the bed, there was sleep clothes, a foot ninja uniform, and a training outfit. Next to those were a pair of katana.
"Father, thank you."
"My son, anything for you. Your training will start again tomorrow. Your sister Karai will train you. Do you remember her?"
"A little, maybe. I remember the name." Leo sat down on the bed and curled under the covers.
"Do not strain my son, now get some sleep." Saki closed the door as Leo fell asleep. He liked his home.
Well, here the new and improved chapter one! Didn't expect that, did ya?
Review to know what happens :)
