Note: I am also wanting to give additional gratitude to Jettrooper12 for helping me out with this. Read and review!
It was a dark and stormy night, the clouds gloomed threateningly over the city that never sleeps. The rain hasn't hit this hard in months, like someone did something to piss it off and now it's taking it revenge out on the city. It didn't show signs of letting up, not even by an inch. The falling rain hit the ground with such force, making each rain drop sound like drum sticks hitting the snare drum of a newly built drum set.
The sky was eerily lit, showing no light, except the white light that radiated off the moon. The city was bathed in a creepy darkness, as if all the happiness was evicted. The happiest person could walk into the city and feel worse than a abused child.
Oroku Saki sighed deeply as he stared out the large window, although he couldn't see very far due to the rain. But he saw enough to make the feeling in his gut become worse. He pressed his forehead against the cool glass, feeling it infiltrate him and soon take over his whole body. Leaving him feeling like a ghost of his former self.
…
"Get that shit out of here Leo… I don't even want to look at you anymore!" Raph yelled, his voice radiated throughout the lair.
"What, now you're just going to give up?" Leo yelled back, never feeling this angry. "It's not like you to give up so easily, or have you actually realized that this was all your fault?"
"Listen you sack of shit, what happened tonight wasn't even close to being my fault… It was your stupid plan that failed! You're the leader, your just blabbering like a baby because you think you're so perfect."
"Listen to yourself. You're the one acting like a kid, cursing and insults won't help you here Raph. It only admits that you're losing!" Leo screamed.
"Oh, you want to see losing?" Raph yelled, "Here's losing for you!" Raph grabbed a snow globe that Mikey bought one day and launched it at Leo.
Leo, not expecting an attack so soon, took the snow globe right in the face. He fell back and held his face, feeling warm, fresh blood run from his nose and through his fingers. He took the hand away from his face, examining the blood.
"Raph!" Leo said in disbelief.
"For once…I don't regret that." Raph said angrily.
…
Oroku Saki raised a hand and placed it on the window, thoughts running through his head about that damn turtles. 'I need to find a way to rid those fu*king turtles, but every time I try, they always find a way to thwart me.' Saki thought.
He forcefully rammed his head against the window in anger, the windows were strong so it left nothing but a ache in Saki's head. He clenched his fists in a ball and tightened every muscle in his body. He swung his head back and forced it against the window, smashing it into little pieces. He relieved his anger as the rain from outside traveled through the broken window and landed on Saki's suit. He felt the fresh drop of blood roll down his forehead and travel down his cheekbone and onto his neck.
…
"Are you really going to resort to physical violence toward your brother because you can't admit that you screwed up?" Leo screamed.
"SHUT THE FU*K UP!" Raph screamed as he ran toward Leo, who still laid on the ground. Raph lifted his knee and intended to hit Leo in the face, but Leo caught his foot and slammed Raph into the ground.
"What is wrong with you? Hitting a ninja while he's on the ground is not what honor is about." Leo screamed at Raph.
"Fu*k honor!" Raph said.
Leo felt as though a load of bile came from his stomach and into his throat, refraining him from speaking.
"What? Cat got your tongue?" Raph said mockingly, "You know, Leo…I have no idea what that old rat was thinking when he made you leader. You're not a leader; You're a pussy."
Leo felt a chilling coolness embrace him, he didn't feel anger, or pity… No… he felt hatred.
…
Oroku Saki stood in front of the broken window, letting the speeding rain splatter all over him. He heard the door swing open and footsteps.
"My lord," a small and familiar voice said.
"What is it?" Saki said sharply.
"The Foot are growing restless…When shall I continue training them?" Karai asked.
"Later… I have business for you." Saki stated.
"My lord… what has happened to your window?" Karai asked curiously.
"Forget it." Saki stepped away from the window and stepped in front of his glass case where his infamous suit was preserved. "The Foot will not be trained until I get what I want."
"And what is that?" Karai asked.
"Those turtles."
…
"It seems I've hit a nerve. Does our fearless leader not like being called a pathetic sack of shit?" Raph said.
Leo clenched his fist, trying to stop himself from doing something stupid.
"Or maybe it's the fact that our fearless leader is a pussy." Raph said.
Leo cringed.
Raph let out a evil chuckle, "Come on Leo. You can do better than sitting on the floor and cowering like a baby… show me what you got." Raph said.
Leo stood up, "You think I'm a fool, but yet, you're too dumb to understand that you're the fool."
"Ohh Leo… That hurt…now listen here!" Raph started.
"No!" Leo interrupted, being blinded by anger, "You listen! You think you're some kind of god, walking around here, giving orders like you're some kind of overlord. But you struggle to understand. You're alone. The truth is Raph, no one loves you! Mikey doesn't, Don doesn't, I sure as hell don't…not even Splinter."
Raph stared at him, at a loss for words.
"Oh…I see the cat has your tongue now…Good…shut you up for five minutes." Leo said, nose throbbing.
Raph breathed in and slid his sais out of his belt.
…
"I want those turtles' heads on a platter! Infiltrate their base if you have to, but I want a turtle by midnight!" Saki shouted.
"As you wish my lord." Karai said.
Karai turned around and walked out her lord's den. Her new mission was a stale one, one that has been given to her many times. She walked passed her den when Saki's voice rang through the intercom.
"Karai! I have selected a few ninjas that will be joining you on this mission, they are waiting for you outside."
Then the intercom shut off.
Karai turned the corner and headed for the door. When she walked out, she was greeted by a heap of rain. She covered her face and spotted the army of about five or six ninjas that stood a couple feet from her.
They looked at her and nodded.
"Ok…Let's go." She said.
…
Leo stared at the sais that Raph had in his hand. "And what do you plan on doing with that?" Leo asked.
Raph didn't respond.
"Oh come now… surely the great Raphael has a plan up his sleeve." Leo mocked, blinded by anger.
Raph tightened the grip on his sais.
"Give me your best shot." Leo mocked once more.
Raph twitched, he lifted his hand and launched his sai through the air. Leo saw this coming and proceeded to catch the sai in mid air, twist around and launch the sai back at Raph, who wasn't expecting it. Raph saw the sai fly toward his face, but didn't react as quick as he could have. He closed his eyes as he felt a fast flow of air sweep his face and then disappear. He opened them again and saw Leo staring at him, eyes in complete disgust.
Raph looked down and saw his body was untouched, turned around and saw his sai sticking out of a wall.
Raph turned back at Leo with shock and disbelief.
Leo looked at him for a second, then turned around and walked toward the door. He opened it and walked outside, leaving Raph alone.
Once the lair door closed, Leo took in a bunch of air and coughed out.
"Leo!" He heard.
He quickly turned his head toward the sound and saw Don walking toward him, supporting Mikey. Leo wanted to ask how Mikey was doing, but couldn't get the lump out of his throat. He walked and pushed pass them, walking down the tunnel alone.
"Leo!" He heard Don shout behind him, but he didn't turn around, he just continued walking.
He climbed up the ladder and pushed the lid up and over. He climbed out and was instantly soaked from the rain. He ran down the alley, not bothering to fix the lid. He slid in front of a ladder and quickly climbed it to the top of the building. When he got to the top, he looked around, let out a sob and knelt down. Letting the rain wash over him, he held his hands to his face and cried softly in his hands, horrified at what he had done. Then when he took his hands away, he saw three legs. He quickly looked up and saw two foot ninjas and Karai.
He quickly shot up and bumped into a couple more Foot ninjas.
"There's no escape this time." Karai said with a smile.
Leo's heart dropped as he realized that he was surrounded, with no escape.
