First TMNTFF fanfic. After 'Zixth Sense' but before 'Temus Fugit'. The main inspiration for this was from the episodes 'Obsolete', 'Bad Blood' and 'DNA is thicker than water. I'm still having trouble fitting some bits and peices for later on together, but for now, this will have to do.

Disclaimer: I'm gonna turn Raph, and re-arrange someones face if they think I own anything.

Armed and in Danger

"Aargh!"

It is the hour 5:04 am in Cody's Penhouse and noise can be heard from the Virtual Symulation Dojo. Who, you might ask, would be doing stuff in their at this hour of the morning? Well, if you know anything about the Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, then you will know that it is Leonardo practising his katas, if not, now you know. But then you may ask the question, 'Wait a second. Leo and the rest of the gang can walk in the day light, so why would he still need to train at these early hours when he could be kicking ultimate ninja butt in his sleep?' I would answer, 'Leo's that type of guy, he is always training and sharpening his already advanced skills. I mean, he is in the Jonin level of ninjitsu, almost a master, but, as usual, there is more under the surface.'

As you and I enter the VSD, we come across a light green, sweaty, blue masked, sword-weilding mutant turtle. He is out of breath at the moment, but not for the many katas he has just performed in the last 4 hours. (You heard right, he's a train-a-holic) No, it is not for the apparent lack of sleep that has been happening to him the last few weeks.(Yes, you heard right again) But it is what has been driving him from his sleep that makes him so exhausted.

It is a throbbing pain in his left arm. Now, usually you think, if you know him, you would say 'But susrely he would go to one of the geniuses to get it fixed, wouldn't he?' In normal circumstances, this would be a must, but, to tell you the truth, Leo has only just started to feel how much pain he is in. If you got inside his head, you could see that...has any one broken a femur, the biggest bone in your body, I haven't but I hear rumour that it is like every bit of imaginable pain that is X1000000 and maybe even more. Well, Leo felt something like that pain, but only a little less worse.

He has come to know where he had gotten this strange diesease from, because every now and then, if it were pitch black, up his lower arm, you could see blue bolts of what looked like lighting just appear with a crack at amazing speeds. If you blinked, you would've missed it. It also seemed their is an actually cracking sound that happens during those uncomfortable moments, but only Leonardo could hear them. It wasn't helping, either, that everytime he something simple and soft, he would still get pins and needles shooting at his arm like darts.

He has not told his family, yet, for he seems to control it for a long while, then it simply seems to vanish. But, as turtle luck would have it, he would get the pain right back and when he usually ddn't need it the most. Lately, it's also been getting harder and harder for him to control it and soon, he fears, he might just stop trying. If he must do anything, hemust tell his family, or maybe Cody or Serling.

But not now, he'll wait 'till they wake up...

...but will it already be to late.

Posted all of this in one night, I am a gun. Oh yeah, please review. More reviews the less the Cliff hanger will haunt you.

P.S. If there are any mistakes in the fic in, like, the VSD...don't care, my story and that's all she wrote.
