A/N: Hello once again, readers! Long time no see, huh? I haven't written in a while i know. Yeah well the plot bunnies have been hungry for me. Day by night, I stayed in hiding, until the day came when they found me. Now they made me write this little fluffy story right under this long note heheh. It's 4:00 a.m. and I want to sleep. X_X

~WARNING~: This chapter has some graphic content and blood and (does vague hand gestures) yadda yadda. You can skip if you wish to the second chapter, as this is just kind of introducing the story. Sorry for the inconveniences.

Enough blabbering, then. This is my first time writing a Leo-centric story, so it might be a bit rusty. You may now read as you please! Enjoy! :D

Ooh and I don't own TMNT, but I wish I did. T_T

A Nightmare

The clinks and clanks of metal filled the roofs of New York, breaking the peace of the dark cloudy night. Leo breathed heavily as he fought and defended against the hostile foot bots that surrounded him and his brothers. They had been ambushed while on patrol, and Leo slapped himself mentally for not having perceived the danger. There were too many of them, and more of them seemed to join the endless fight to replace the fallen. It seemed that hours had passed since they had begun, and he and his brothers were quickly tiring out. They couldn't retreat as more foot bots came to block their way. Leo was already covered in cuts and knew that if they were not treated quickly, would get infected very soon. He hoped his brothers were faring better with their own enemies than he has with his own. They had to do something quickly or else-

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a blood-curdling scream that, once Leo could turn around, figured belonged to his youngest brother. He couldn't see him, as so much foot bots crowded around Mikey. What he could see, however, made his blood turn ice-cold and then white-hot with rage. Blood rained around in ribbons as Mikey was getting pierced by the weapons of the foot bots. Leo tried to push through his own enemies to help, but more blocked him as he kept trying. He felt helpless, screaming for his name. Suddenly, he heard a shout.

"MIKEY! LEAVE 'IM ALONE YOU DISGUSTIN' SCRAPS OF METAL!"

It was Raph.

Leo felt the dread falling over him like a giant wave. He knew that Raph would do something drastic to help his baby brother, and he could not stop him. He just hoped that he succeeded, and that both turned out safe. Leo then saw many foot bots get thrown across the air, as if a monster had struck them with intense force. He had never seen Raph so angry. Then he heard Raph give a loud agonizing scream that made Leo realize that Raph was now in danger as well. Leo hoped that, somehow, he was wrong. This didn't stop him from shouting to his brother as he continued to fight, however.

"RAPHAEL!" he shouted, before hearing Donnie shout as well.

"LEO! WE NEED TO HEL-" Donnie was interrupted. Leo's worry seemed to go past his limit as he looked for his younger brother.

Then, as quickly as it had begun, the fight ceased and the robotic soldiers retreated away from the scene. It only took a second for Leo to recover from his surprise, as he turned around to look for his younger brothers; the guilt for not having protected them seeping in as he panted for air. He was met with a grisly view of his red and orange clad brothers, laying on a pool of blood.

They were both covered in cuts and bruises, too many of them to be considered safe. His heart skipped a beat as soon as he saw the mortal punctures on both his brothers' plastrons, blood quickly oozing from them. He couldn't believe it. He wouldn't believe it. They had been there just a few minutes ago, fighting and breathing. And now, they just lay there unmoving; empty shells rid of life. His view turned red with fury and rage. However, he then remembered about his younger brother before being interrupted by something unknown.

Leo quickly turned around, hoping for the best but expecting the worst. He joyfully saw that Donnie was still moving; with many injuries, but alive. However, his hopes were swiftly extinguished by the guest behind his younger brother. The guest held Donnie cruelly by the mouth with his left hand, lifting him off the floor to his metallic armor. He grinned at Leo, aware of the attention, and caressed Donnie's cheek roughly with his sharp claws, creating a round bloody cut on the cheek and making Donnie trying to suppress whimpers. Donnie looked at Leo's direction, with fearful eyes that seemed to scream 'Run!'. Leo looked away from his brother's red-brownish eyes and glared at the glowing amber ones from the guest, who hadn't moved an inch.

"Shredder" Leo spat out with venomous hatred, while the Shredder seemed to try not to laugh.

" . … NOW!" Leo shouted, knowing well that it would take more than shouting to move Shredder.

"As you wish, you annoying terrapin" Shredder answered, delight in his voice.

Leo's eyes opened wide in shock at the Shredder's words, seeing as Donnie did the same. Just then time slowed down, as the Shredder quickly thrusted his claws into Donnie's throat, making the purple clad brother jump with an audible gasp as blood quickly flowed away from his body. Leo screamed and ran for his little brother, but not before hearing the Shredder's haunting voice.

"You have failed, turtle. What a brother and leader you are, allowing your brothers to die," he laughed and threw the perishing body of his brother towards him, before lunging at him with the bloodied claws on his gauntlet.

Leo caught the battered and bloodied body of his younger brother and tightly held it in his arms. He looked up at the incoming Shredder.

"NO!" Leo shouted before his vision went black as the night above.
