Sad Souls
Ch 1
It's a year after Mike Jr. and Serena's mom Libra was murdered in cold blood by Karai's daughter Jence. It was the last day before Winter break began and Mike Jr., his girlfriend, and Serena stayed home from school. They all decided to go to the mall and do some shopping for their uncles and their aunts' anniversaries. They decided on Bloomingdales mall. Mike is now dating a girl named Angelina and Mike Jr. and Serena don't like her because she's not their mother.
As Mike Jr. entered the kitchen he overheard his father saying to his brothers.
"She is going to pay for killing my wife and that I swear to on my honor! "
He gulped as he entered and decided to ask.
"Dad can we please go shopping with Uncle Leo? We really don't want to stay inside today."
Mike sipped his coffee as he looked at the tears forming in his son's eyes and held him tightly.
"I know you miss your mom Jr. We all do miss your mother and I promise Angelina will not try to take her place in you and your sister's life. I will not allow it and that I promise. It's ok let the tears out I'm right here you too Serena."
She ran to her father and cried on him with her brother by her side.
Leo looked and sighed.
"Jence has no idea what she just did. Our younger brother may be sweet but when you cross him you better ruin for cover. He's one ninja you don't want to mess with when he seeks revenge! Raph don't do it, you know how he gets, fine then Mr. know it all do what you want. I'm not pulling him off of you this time bro! You'll learn the hard way then to mess with Mike when he's seeking revenge."
Raph looked at his brother and laughed as Mike and Serena ran out to Leo's SUV.
"Sure whatever you say bro, but Mikey doesn't scare me! Watch this!"
Raph began to mess with Mike and his face turned red and he glared at him.
"Raphael if you don't knock it off I swear I'll kick your shell in! Now leave me the shell alone, I mean it bro cut the crap! I'm in no mood for fooling around right now!!! Now go!!"
Leo laughed as Raph gulped.
"Umm Bro on second thought I'll join you at the mall! I'm oughtta here!"
Leo smiled slyly.
"Told you not to mess with him! But no not you shell for brains let's go then!"
Raph joined his brother, niece, nephew and Mike Jr.'s girl as they all got in the SUV and headed to the mall. Leo parked his car and they all piled out. Mike Jr. looked.
"Umm Uncle Leo and Raph you're in turtle form still."
They both hit their watches and followed them into the mall. Leo went to the Jewelry Exchange to pick out a gift for Trista. After hours of walking from case to case he decided on a crystal heart on a gold necklace for her. When he finished, they all continued their shopping and spent hours at the mall shopping. Then they all headed back to Michelangelo's house for the party. Don and Angel arrive first with their son and Don looks at Mike in the corner. Then he walks over to him and puts his hand on his shoulder.
"Bro if you weren't ready to move on with another woman then why are you with Angelina? Mike listen to me; being with another woman won't ease the pain it'll just make it worse on you and your kids. Mike look in my eyes bro; your new girlfriend has no idea that you're not human and she also has no idea that you're a lethal ninja! What if Jence finds out you have a new girlfriend and decides to use her as bait to lure you? Did you ever think about it?"
Mike looked up and sighed.
"No Don I never did. I just can't believe she killed my wife and my kids' mother! I guess Angelina comforted me when my wife was killed and I guess I wasn't thinking straight when I asked her to be my girl. Stupid ninja turtle!"
Angelina arrived and walked over by Mike and greeted him with a kiss. Serena and Mike Jr. glared and walked away toward the front door to wait for their cousins to arrive. They saw Leo Jr., Raphael Jr., and Familla arrive and ran to greet them. Leo Jr. looked at his cousins and asked.
"Let me guess; your father and Angelina are making out again? How can Uncle Mike just get involved with another woman after he watched your mother get brutally murdered by that Bitch Jence? Ooh it pissed me off when I found out about them…"
Leo glared at his son with his arms crossed by his chest.
"Excuse me young man! What did I tell you about swearing! You better watch your mouth and stop putting your Uncle down understood? I mean it Jr. next time you swear or put your uncle down my hand will crack you across your mouth now get inside on the double!! March Leo!"
He gulped and responded.
"Yes sir. Dad I'm sorry it's just I don't understand how he can love another woman after he seen Aunt Libra get murdered by Jence! I didn't mean to put him down though; I love my Uncle a great deal and know he's still in pain after losing his wife!"
They all entered the house and Leo looked.
"Umm bro I think dinner is burning."
Mike smelled the smoke and screamed.
"Oh shell no, sorry babe I have to save dinner! Be right back!"
He ran to the oven and opened it just in time and sighed with relief.
"Whew that was close. It's time to eat now! Jr., Serena, Leo, Raph, Don, and Familla come on time for dinner."
Angelina helped Trista set the table and looked at her son.
"Wow he looks just like his father. Just like my man's son Mike looks just like him. I hope if we have a boy he looks just like Mikey!"
Mike heard that and thought of Libra because she was the only one that called him by his nick name. Then tears rolled down his cheeks and he went out to the barn and punched a punching bag pretending it was Jence as the memory of his wife crying out in pain as Jence killed her with one swipe of her grandfather's katana and heard her laughs as Libra's blood formed a river.
"Now you green freak you'll see how it feels to have someone you love get brutally murdered! I'll make you watch me kill your precious wife like you made me witness you and your brothers murder my mother!!!!!!"
Angelina ran out to the barn and put her hand on his shoulder.
"Mikey what is wrong? Are you ok?"
He turned and glared at his girlfriend and his eyes slanted in anger.
"Don't call me Mikey! Just leave me the shell alone! Now!"
She tried to comfort him and he pushed her away.
"Leave me alone Angelina! I just want to be left alone; just go inside and eat dinner I'm not hungry right now!"
She entered the house and asked Mike Jr.
"What has gotten into your father? He won't let me near him and keeps on punching that bag like he's trying to kill someone!"
He glared and stared.
"Why are you asking me? He's your boyfriend; he seems to pay more attention to you then his own damn kids! Figure it out yourself and leave me alone! Even if you knew what was wrong with him you wouldn't care so stop asking me!"
Leo overheard him and yelled.
"Jr. take that back right now! Angelina is an adult and you will respect her now apologize to her this instant now young man!"
He yelled at his uncle.
"No I won't Uncle Leo she's trying to replace my mom and I'm tired of it!"
He ran up to his room and held the picture of him, his mother, father, and sister as he cried into his pillow! Serena ran up to her brother's room and stroked his forehead gently.
"Come on Mikey we have to stay together for dad's sake! He's so near to losing it that's it's not funny! I know you miss mom and so do I but we can't disrespect her like we are; mom and dad taught us better than that!! You're forgetting dad witnessed mom's murder and he's in more pain than we are and as his kids we have to help him through this even if it means accepting Angelina! Ok bro calm down and go apologize to Angelina and Uncle Leo!"
Mike entered the house again and stared at his wedding band on his finger and sighed.
'Libra I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from her; but I was knocked out and couldn't even move! I swear honey I will avenge you even if it means sacrificing my own life! I miss you so much; but I know you're watching over us from above!'
He wiped the tears from his eyes and joined his brothers and sister in laws in the living room as they opened their gifts. Then his kids ran and sat by him resting their heads on him.
"Dad we love you so much! If you really love Angelina then we promise not to disrespect her anymore!"
He hugged his kids and smiled as he kissed their foreheads and sighed. Then Angelina sat next to him and he put his arm behind her head and apologized.
"I'm sorry for yelling at you sweetie. Please just don't call me Mikey; I have a lot on my mind right now and tend to lose my temper often not on purpose though. Please forgive me."
She smiled and kissed him on the lips and rested her head on his shoulder as they watched Trista open her gift from Leo.
She opened it and her mouth opened as he placed it on her neck. Then she gave him a kiss and a hug.
"Leo thank you so much. I swear I'll never take it off! I love it just like I love you!"
He smiled and kissed her on the lips and said.
"You're welcome honey. I'm glad you like it!"
Around midnight everyone turned in but Leonardo. He watched as Mike went to bed and sighed as he meditated. While he was meditating he had a premonition that the worst fight was yet to come. He opened his eyes and realized his breathing wasn't normal at all. At the same time his brothers woke up with the same premonition and sat up in their beds. The next morning the 4 brothers woke up and trained hard as their kids watched. When they finished training they all headed to the pizza parlor to get a bite to eat.
When they finished eating they exited the pizza parlor and Jence's father Brandon approached Mike.
"Stay away from my daughter you green freak; or feel the wrath of my blade across your neck! Do I make myself clear?"
Mike's eyes glared and he took out his nunchuckus ready to fight.
"Why should I? Your daughter killed my wife in cold blood just like your wife killed my father as me and my brothers watched her do it! When we were not responsible for her father's death! So don't even think of threatening me!"
Brandon unsheathed his katana and knocked Mike's nunchucks out of his hands and held the blade to his neck.
"Some ninja you are. You didn't even see me coming! You're nothing but a green freak!! Just like your father was nothing more than a rat!!"
He glared at him and grabbed Leo's Katana from his harness and lunged at Brandon in a rage and with one swipe of his katana He sliced off Brandon's head! Jence stared in horror as she saw Mike kill her father! Then she threw a smoke bomb and disappeared before saying.
"Beware Michelangelo! I will make you pay for murdering my parents mark my words. I killed your wife because you and your brothers murdered my mother. Now you murdered my father and I will kill someone whom you love and make you suffer for taking my family away from me!! Better not leave your new girlfriend home alone I will avenge my father!! Farewell Michelangelo you freak!!"
