Thought I'd start putting this one up too. Hehe. :D Hope you all like it.

Disclaimer: Sadly none of the TMNT are mine. Hmmph... You think they'd notice if I snatched Leo? Yeah they probably would.

Chapter 1

Leo crossed his katana in front of him, stopping the blade of the Elite standing over him. His breathing came harder. He had to get out from under the Elite. Had to get off the floor. He narrowed his eyes and kicked the Elite off of him, jumping to his feet. He backed up, bumping into the corner of the second floor room of the warehouse, surveying his options. There was about a dozen Foot soldiers, seven Foot tech ninjas, and the Elite Guard. And the worst of it all… He was all alone. His shell cell lay four feet from him completely busted. A fire danced around the floor of the building. Smoke rose to the ceiling, collecting as a deep black fog. His best shot was to go through the Foot soldiers on his left. He took a deep breath and got ready to move.

The Foot soldiers and Foot techs had their eyes narrowed on him, then suddenly scattered.

'What now?' Leo thought.

The roof creaked above his head.

Leo looked up wide-eyed and immediately dove to the left.

Burning wood crashed to the ground where he had just been standing. Scorching the floor black.

"That was a little too close," Leo murmured, turning his attention back to the Foot.

The Elite guard darted forward, surrounding him, glaring at him with immense hatred.

Leo blocked a blade with each sword. He pushed them back and knocked two to the ground with a round house kick. He looked around for the other two. He spun around.

They were gone!

It was just him and two unconscious Elite ninjas. Not even the other ninjas that had surrounded him just moments ago could be seen. They had all vanished!

More burning wood rained down from the ceiling all around him.

Leo jumped out of the way and felt a kick to his stomach. He staggered back and glared at the Elite who'd reappeared.

'Where's the last one?' Leo thought searching the room while watching the one in front of him, so he wouldn't be jumped.

"Looking for me?" a low voice asked.

Leo spun around right into a strong uppercut from the missing Elite ninja that sent him crashing into a wall.

The wall creaked and the ceiling quickly started falling.

Leo gasped as a beam of hot wood fell on his legs. "Ahh!"

The whole ceiling started to collapse all around him, kicking up smoke and broken wood pieces as the ceiling parts landed.

"Goodbye freak." The two Elite smirked and disappeared with the other two unconscious Elite over their shoulders.

Leo tried desperately to get the beam off of him, burning his hands in the process. He let out a yelp and managed to push it off. He stood on shaky and burning legs, took a quick breath, and ran forward to the window.

The roof gave another creak as this side also started collapsing.

"No!" Leo yelled. His path out of the building was now blocked. He scanned the building, but couldn't find another way out. His heart fell. This time there was no way out. Not even the stairway he had used to come up to this floor could be seen. This was finally it.

Raph raced across the rooftops towards the burning building. Don didn't have to tell him twice that Leo was in that building. He took off the second Don said it. He slid to a stop on the building next to it and stared in horror as the whole building fell to the ground before his eyes. "No!" he screamed. Raph gripped the building's ledge, about to jump over. He had to get to Leo. There could still be time.

Hands grabbed him. Pulled him back.

"It's too late Raph," Don said grimly. "It's too late…"

"Leo…" Mikey moaned, watching the building settle on the ground. The fire dancing over it. Mocking the three turtles.

"But… But…" Raph choked out. "No. Search the area. He'd have to have gotten out in time." He glared at Don.

Don looked grim and sad eyed. "Mikey search the north. Raph east. I'll take the south."

Mikey left without a word.

Raph searched the whole east side of the burned building. Going five blocks away. Nothing. Leo wasn't there. He growled in frustration. This couldn't be happing. Not now! Not ever! He wasn't supposed to lose his brother today. He should have been here for Leo. Should have known something was wrong.

He felt a hand on his shoulder and spun around, pointed a sai in someone's face.

Don stepped back, hands up. "Whoa, it's just me."

Raph relaxed slightly and put his sai down.

"Nothing?"

Raph looked away. There was nothing to say. No need. What could he say anyways?

Mikey grimly walked up, shaking his head.

"Come on. Let's go home," Don said.

Raph turned his angry eyes on Don. "But what if they find him in all that? What will the emergency people do then? Huh? We can't leave him down there at their mercy!"

"We'll watch the news. But the fire was so big…" Don gulped. "There might not be anything left."

Raph stomped away, heading for home. His stomach churning at what Don had just said. This couldn't be happening. Someone was going to pay for this. And he had a pretty good idea who that somebody was.
