I DO NOT OWN T-M-N-T!

'New York City my home for the last 19 years where you could get beat up and robbed at any moment, this was my city' thought the shadowy figure as he took in the smells which were almost never pleasant and the sight of the starless sky.

The dim lights of the street were the only light to the shadow as he searched through the junk yard looking for anything he could fix up and use at home. After finishing up a pile and having no luck after and hour he finally saw something that caught his attention. "Hmm…" he said crouching down and picking up a piece that looked fixable "Maybe…" he said to himself. He was about to go on to another pile when his shell cell suddenly rang.

Grabbing it out of his belt he answered it.

"Hello" He said still examining what he had grabbed thinking up how to fix it up. "Do you need anything?"

"My son, when will you be returning?" It was Master Splinter, but it was kind of hard to hear him his voice seemed distant and barley above a whisper.

"In about another twenty minutes or so why? Is there something you need sensei?" He asked.

"No nothing my son I just wished to call to say…" Master splinter paused for a moment taking in a shakey breathe, "…to say that I love you my son… and that I'm sorry I had to leave so soon."

He shot up and began to run home dropping what he had been holding. "Sensei hold on I'll be there shortly." He said trying to keep the panic from leaking into his voice. He climbed the fence out of the junk yard.

"I'm s-sorry my son but… my life is coming to an end… just know I love you and that I will always be with you…"

"Master Splinter please hold on I'm gonna be there in a moment, but please…" He said as he landed "just hold on a little longer." He ran at full speed. "You have to hold on."

He had to make it he couldn't break his promise. He ran even faster he had to be there for Master Splinter. He took to the roofs and ran as fast as his legs could carry him.

"I know it hurts my son" Master Splinter took a small breath, "but promise me to live m-my son…"

"I-I… I promise sensei." He said slowing down he wasn't going to make it no matter how fast he could run it was just too late.

"They are waiting for me…my son…"

He wept at his Master's words he felt everything just crumble to the ground around him. This just wasn't fair, "I-I love you…Master Splinter…" He said through his tears there wasn't anything he could do.

He fell to his knees as his tears poured down his cheeks, it was too late to do anything, "I love you… my son…" and he heard the cell hit the floor and then the line went dead.

He hung up and looked at his cell. This couldn't be happening this was all a trick or something. He tossed the shell cell aside. He shook his head, this couldn't be happening Master Splinter he couldn't…

"No, no, no, no…" He repeated over and over, "NOOOOOO!" he screamed to the heavens. He began to run again, the burning in his legs cried for him to stop, but he kept on running. He was pushing himself even though the pain grew more, but all he felt was numbness. He jumped and then landed in an alley, pulled up the manhole, and jumped straight in.

He kept running nothing could stop him. Breathing became harder but reality just didn't seem to touch him. He made it back to the lair he rushed towards Master Splinter's room, flung the door open and saw Master Splinter's lifeless body there. He froze where he stood trying to take in the scene. This couldn't be happening this was just a dream his mind was racing trying to make meaning of this. It had to be a trick or a horrible dream this couldn't be happening. His tears kept falling as made his way toward the body. Looking at his Master everything came at him at once. He fell to his knees, placing a hand on his father's cold lifeless hand.

"Father… please wake up… you can't leave me…" He said his voice weak. "Pl-please you have to wake up…" He cried, but it was hopeless no amount of pleading would ever bring him back.

"I love you father." He whispered his silent tears streamed down his cheeks, growing as the minutes passed. His father's figure laid before him and all he could do was cry, reality finally catching up to him. His silent tears growing into desperate sobs knowing that he was all alone. It just seem like he couldn't cry enough, everything had just come crashing down it was sudden how could it take one night? Everything had been fine this morning but now… everything was gone.

After what seemed like forever he pulled himself together, numbness claiming him once again for who knows how long, and began to plan on what to do next, but that was just it, what was he going to do next? He picked up Master Splinter's body surprised at how light it was. He went to the infirmary and placed it on the bed, and gently pulled a sheet over the body.

He slowly walked into the living room. It was so quiet; it sent chills down his spine. There was no sign of life, and he hated it. Klunk came up and gazed up at him feeling his uneasiness. He knelt down and pet the small cat, "Guess it's just you and me now," fresh tears streamed down his face again. He couldn't keep them in anymore; his numbness vanished leaving behind realization. He was all alone. "They're all gone boy, all gone." the sobs escaped him. He cupped his face in his hands and cried, nothing was left, he was all alone, and they were all gone.

He then began remember those memories he had tried so desperately to forget. They flashed threw his mind bring nothing, but more sadness and anger. It all weld up inside him and he couldn't take it anymore. It just wasn't fair his brothers ripped away from him, the memories kept coming and this time the pain engulfed him… all those memories of his dead brothers.
