They faught long and hard but they were everywhere and they soon fell
first it was Raphael to four Foot who had jumped on him and pinned him down restraining the strong turtle
then he could only watch as Donatello was hit with the blinding gas and attacked from all angles
he felt something stir deep within himself
He watched as Mike freed Donatello only to be stabbed in the leg and then hit with a bo staff he watched as both his brothers fell then he slowly turned his head to their leader and oldest brother
Leonardo.
He was fighting with his usual strength and grace but Raph knew that even with his skill level in the art of Ninjistu he too would soon fall and Raph knew when he did it was over
"There it is again" Thought Raph as that feeling came back
what is it
he tried his hardest to figure it out and then it hit him
#10 Years Ago#
"Raphael my son I must speak with you" came the voice of Master Splinter
Raph smiled his eight year old smile as he ran to his fathers voice
"Yes Father?" he asked
Master Splinter looked at his eight year old son and felt saddness at his vision and that in time what he would have to do
"Raph can you make me a promise?" he asked
Raphael was confused he thought his father could trust him to do anything he wanted
"Yes master I can" he replied
"Raph I ask this of you not as your Master but as your Father"
Now Raph was completly lost
"Yes father anything you want" he said wanting to do nothing but please his father
"Ok I want you to promise to keep your brothers safe not matter the cost" he said in a stern voice
"I woul.." started Raph before Master Splinter cut him off
"I need your word Raphael"
"I promise Father"
#Present#
As Leo fell to the sheer numbers Raph snapped
he lifted himself up to his feet even with the numbers hanging onto him despretly trying to keep him down
he threw them off before his world started to fade
He went into Rage.
#Leo's POV#
Leo watched as his brother of red fought in a way he had never before he wasn't showing any mercy but as Leo tried to stand he could feel himself weak and un fit to fight
Raph now had all the foot in front of him and his brothers behind him
Leo just watched and listened
"Leo" he said his voice calm but serious
"Get them out of here"
Leo just widened his eyes in shock
"We arn't lea.." Raph cut him off
"LEO.. Leave now"
they way Raph said it Leo knew it wasn't up for discusion
LEo went over to his brothers and somehow found the strength to lift Mike onto his shoulder and get Donny's arm around his other
Right before they left Leo took one last look at his Brother of Red
"Goodbye.. My brother" he said with a Tear in his eye
#Raph's POV#
Raph picked up a Sai in his right hand and a Katana into his left in reverse grip so the blade ran along his forearm
"Come and get me boys" he growled
The Ninja just charged him
To the Raph the fight felt like over 3 hours but it onle went half that time
As Raph looked down at his fallen enemies panting he smiled to himself
but not because he killed Foot but because he had kept his promise and his brothers were safe
"Time to go home" he said lightly to himself but as he turned to leave he fell straight to his knees and he looked up at the clouds as his weapons fell from his hands
Clang.
the sound seemed so loud.. but it wasn't and as Raph looked up he felt it start to drizzle and he looked down at his body, at the blood, at the weapons some still in him, the cuts and bruises
he knew this was it
"Good bye.. Bros"
Raphael then fell onto his Shell/back
and listened to the rain around him
Everything was just so Peaceful
#Leo POV#
As I ran my muscles burned and burned but I didn't care I had to get back there to Protect him
As I ran I remembered all the good times We had
the time I saved him from the Croc
the way he helped me slowly conquer my fear of snakes and took as long as I needed
the list goes on and not just for me for Mike and Don too
I ran even as it started to ran and the roofs got slippery
I knew I should slow down but I couldn't I had to get to him before it was too late
But as I got there I saw him fall back I ran faster and slid on my knees to him
"Raph It's ok your going to be alright" I said trying to comfort him
"Hey.. Big bro.. Don't worry I ain't planning on leaving you" he repiled
"Same old stubbern Raph" I said and we shared a laugh
I held him close and felt the tears come out
"Don bring the battleshell Raph's badly hurt"
I saw him closing his eyes
"Please.. don't Go" I said while sobbing
Raph just smiled
and I listened to his Raspy breath as The Battle Shell could be heard coming to a stop in the street below
