Prologue:

17 years after Leonardo Hamato gave up his humanity to become one of the four kings of the underworld being reborn into Shabriri. But at the same time the miracle of life was happening and a woman gave birth to a healthy boy she named Leonardo. The Hamato family left alone by their friends after discovering the truth behind Leo's fall into hell now meets with the boy named after their brother on the very night Leo was first lost to them. But this meeting wasn't a mistake but faith working its wheels so that the boy and the three remaining brothers in the Hamato family together for a battle that bring the world to its knees as both heaven and hell collide with earth in the middle.

One month ago:

"Leonardo"

The three turtles paralyzed with fear stayed down and just stared at the boy with wide eyes. 17 years without their older brother and now a boy who could be him was standing just one yard in front of them was saying the same name as him. But deep in the back of their minds they knew their brother was gone and his soul was now resting in hell as one of the four kings.

The boy Leonardo walked over to the three turtles and reached out his hand towards the youngest.

"Need help?" Leonardo asked.

Mikey with a shaky hand reached out towards Leo but Raph grabbed Mikey's hand quickly and shook his head no.

Leonardo shrugged his shoulders and backed off.

"I get it. Don't worry I won't say anything." Leonardo said.

Leonardo started to walk away when something flew over his head. Reaching up to grab it Leo saw it was a small shell like device. Looking over his shoulder Leonardo nodded his head and placed the device in his pocket. Even without words somehow all of them could communicate to each other.

"See you around kame." Leo said walking over to the ledge with his hand in the air.

A month of silence from the three turtles Leonardo went back to his quiet life. Leonardo was the son of two wonderful people but one night when Leo was five his mother was in a car accident and was killed. After his mother's death Leonardo's father raised him by himself as a single father to this day. When Leonardo would ask why his father never remarried after his mother's death he would tell him that his mother was the love of his life and so was he. His father loved only her and wants to keep it that way. Due to his father's work he travels most of the year so Leonardo is alone at their small apartment with little contact with him in his teenage years. So his father has told Leonardo agreed in letting Leonardo get his own place since he was barely home. His father helps with the rent but that's it after paying the rent Leonardo doesn't hear anything from him other than on his birthday and the anniversary of his mother's death.

One day during school Leonardo was getting ready for his after school activities. Leonardo changing in the locker room into his uniform when the shell like device started to buzz in his bag, Leonardo picked up the device looked over his shoulder and read on it:

TONIGHT MIDNIGHT PARK

Leonardo placed the device back into his bag and went to practice for the day. Leonardo was on the track team and was one of the co-captains, along being captain on the swim and dive team and the soccer team Leonardo was one of those guys who was liked by all even though he felt at times he really didn't fit in with everyone. To him those three creatures he meant for only a few moments were more of a family to him than everyone he has meant in his whole life. Leonardo went to his part time job as an instructor in a local martial arts dojo in his neighborhood.

Leonardo was an instructor for the local kid's class helping those who need a place to vent out their frustrations on the mat in a safe environment to help with self-confidence and control. By the time Leonardo got home, showered and ate it was close to midnight. Leonardo looked around the small one bedroom apartment before going downstairs and walking to the park across the street. Leonardo looked around the park to see nothing but the playground equipment. Leonardo walked over to the swings that were squeaking and moving in the breeze, grabbing one of the seats Leonardo took a seat with his elbows on his knees and back bent.

"I'm here want to get out of that tree already." Leonardo said.

The tree behind him started to move and shift as a great weight moved off and onto the ground.

"How did you know?" asked a one of the turtles with a slight New Yorker accent.

Leonardo shrugged his shoulders.

"I just did." Leonardo said.

"What do you want?" A gentle voice asked.

"Nothing" Leonardo said looking down at the ground, bobbing back and forth on the swing.

"Everyone wants something." The final one stated.

"Fine tell me your names it weird talking like this." Leonardo barked back.

Leonardo sat there with nothing the squeaks of the rusty playground equipment going back and forth.

"Fine" Leonardo said standing up fixing his jacket. "I have class in the morning so I'm leaving."

Leonardo placed the shell like device on the seat of the swing.

"You need this more than me." Leonardo said placing his hands in his jacket pockets.

Leonardo started walking back without looking over his shoulder.

By the time Leonardo got home it was almost 1 am, as Leonardo walked through the doors to his room he shivered. The air in the room was colder than the rest of the house but he couldn't understand why. Placing more clothes onto his body and another blanket on the bed Leonardo fell into a deep sleep.

Without notice two pairs of eyes glowed in the dark corner of his room.

To the Hamato family the silence of letting the boy go was weighed heavily on their shoulders especially the two youngest. When Leo left them, then their father and friends all the brothers had were each other but now with a boy who could their older brother was alive and standing in front of them the walls that were built high and strong crumbled down in an instance.

17 years without nothing but themselves each of the roles the brothers had were quickly reversed. Raph took over protecting and looking after the younger brothers the best he could but no was the same after their time in Hell. Donnie locked himself in his lab or the in the dojo beating his knuckles until they were covered in splinters and bleeding. Mikey tried his best to keep a smile on his face but night terrors and the things he saw down there was too much and threw him into a catatonic state for the next ten years. Raph overwork and barely sleeping did nothing but sit and stare at Leo's door that has been shut since the day he felt. Raph sits and waits for doors that will never open again, holding onto a small thread of hope that the doors could open and Leo would walk through them again. The one thread of hope keeping his sanity together was breaking more and more with each tick on the clock.

After endless silence with the sounds of clicking and watering moving and dropping from the pipes Donnie stepped out of the lab and never took a step back in there or the lab. Mikey finally out of his catatonic state woke up in a daze but Raph never woke up from his dream even when his two younger brothers were with him, he was just too broken.

Seven years later on a night when they hoped that just a harmless night in the city would do them some good ended with a battle for their lives and a boy with the same name.

After returning home Raph and his brother dropped their weapons and treated their injuries migrating to the living room to ask them why.

A boy with the same name and eyes just as their older brother came to them 17 years later, could it be faith or just some bad luck. Just getting better after Leo's death a boy came and saved them the look on his face, the eyes even the sound of his voice sounded like Leo but they knew…no they had to believe he was gone reborn in the underworld to a happier life.

Donnie throwing the boy their shell cell to communicate with the boy was out of the question to Raph but when he looked at Donnie he could see that he was just trying to hold himself together. His hands clasped together to keep them from shaking with his eyes darting back and forth reminded him of the first time Leo was almost taken from them.

Going their separate ways once again the brothers returned to their "worlds" Mikey trapped in his old comics covered in dust and video games touched by time, Donnie taking something apart and reassembling it again and again, and finally Raph back to his spot just staring at the door.

All while this was happening someone was watching the scene unfold…make that two people. Watching from the safety of their world as the three brother try to understand why a boy was even there in the first place. The two siblings holding each other's hands tighter tightly turned their gaze from the family that was falling apart again to their home in what the world above called war.

"What are we going to do sister?"

"I do not know but we need him."

"I agree show me him."

The window changed from the turtles to Leonardo arriving home.

"It looks like your time is up Leo."

"Yes angels can't save you now."

The twins gripped each other's hands tighter and started plotting to get the boy and turtles together to save their world and the ones above them.
