Last Chance
I noticed that DragonMasterOf10 had started writing a story by the name of "Chances" that touched on the areas of Leo being emotionally abused by his younger brothers while fighting for his own life in the process. While his brothers and father live perfectly normal lives Leo has to do everything and continue to train harder than anyone else has to. When the two children of Death come to take Leo to the afterlife they decide to give the Hamato family three chances to threat Leo better or they risk losing him forever. With permission and help to write a version of the story "Chances" with some changes towards the relationship of each brother and the two children threatening to take Leo away from them. Thanks DragonMasterOf10! Please go read DragonMasterOf10 work its great.
This is an AU story. I respect the whole 2003 series TMNT cast and just retelling it with some a twist to the friendship between the brothers.
I own nothing.
Prologue:
Two paled looking kids continued their walk into total darkness. As they reached their destination they raised their hands into the air and started chanting in an ancient language and soon their hands started to glow. The glow started to become brighter around their hands and soon a portal appeared in front of them. They stare into the portal as the chosen one appeared in front of them. A black cloaked figure behind them walked over to the children standing behind them as they continued to watch what was being unfolded in front of them.
"Is this the next one you were talking about?" the little girl asked not taking her eyes away from the figure. She had long dark hair that ran past her shoulders, wearing an all-black outfit with a spider web design on the bottom left corner of the dress.
"Yes, this is the next one. You both know what to do." The figure behind them said pointing a boney finger at the figure.
"Yes, father" they said in unison
They took a step back to watch the chosen one; it was Leo, he was only fifteen; lying in bed with the sheets half on him half on the floor as he starting coughing into his right hand. He was laying on his right side in a cold sweat with a trash bin near the bed. The only light in the room was coming from his nightstand.
Leo P.O.V:
*cough**cough* I stared into my right hand and held it in the light of my lamp on my nightstand. More blood again. Soon my coughing fit began to get worse and worse, I tried to sit up so I didn't choke on my own blood only to get a dizzy sensation as I begun to raise my head. I fell back onto my sweat soaked bed; I curled myself into a ball while pulling the sheets closer to my chest. Once again I was home alone to fight off whatever is happening to me, my brothers do nothing but make my life worse; messing up the lair to not doing their chores. Father places all the blame onto me and soon leaves me to clean up and do all their chores; still I am forced to do my extra training and look after my younger brothers.
Why does my father make me do everything while they continue to enjoy life?
When I only 8 years old my father pulled me aside one evening telling me that because I was the oldest and wises out of my brothers that I would become leader. I never asked for the position and soon my childhood ended as soon as it started. While my brothers went around enjoying life I would either be training extra or watching them from afar; wishing to join them. Soon my brothers stopped asking me to join them and started to make my life worse; blaming me for anything thing they committed or making me feel like I wasn't a part of the family. To my family I am just weapon and soon my usefulness will end and I will be thrown away. I have been ill for a long time and my brothers really don't care about me anymore. I continue to hear from them
"I hate ya. Ya are the worse older brother. Why can't ya for once not be perfect Splinter Jr? Who needs ya come on guys lets go, fearless don't need us anyway." Raph yelled.
"Why do you act like such a stick in the mud? Boredardo." Mikey snickered.
"Can't you see I'm busy? Why do you always have to bother me; just leave me alone already I'm stick of you always in my face." Don spat.
"My son; you are a great disappointment at times like these, you must look after your younger brothers, after all you are the eldest and the leader I expect more from you." Splinter lectured.
And so on and so forth.
Tonight my brothers went out to see a movie that just came out; they left a mess in the living room and told me clean it up since I was staying home. Father decided to visit April and would return when my brothers came and got him after the movie.
No one noticed me leaning on the column more than usual, no one noticed the dark circles under my eyes or the paleness in my usually forest green colored skin. No one noticed because no cares.
The portal started to close and disappear with the last thing since was Leo laying half death in his bed with another portal showing his brothers and father having the time of their lives laughing and joking about the movie as they made their way home.
"Remember why you both were created and leave tonight while the boy is sleeping." The clocked figure said as he began to return into darkness.
The children nodded and waved their hands in front of their selves and started to walk into the portal and waited in total darkness for their mission to finally beginning.
