I hope you like the first chapter and here is the second

"Michelangelo how long have you been working on that?" Splinter asked as he watched his youngest son build a town out of playing cards.

"umm I'm not sure Raph what time is it?" Micky asked as he placed another two cards on his tower

"does it look like I wear a watch ask Don." Raph said as he sent other two punches to the dummy

"Don what time is it?" Mikey asked again

"I don't know ask Leo!" he said only for everyone to freeze and stare at one another before looking at their master

"Master Splinter when is Leo coming back?" Raph asked walking over to their make-shift living room

"he has been gone over a two months now." Donny said looking down during the two months they kept forget Leo was gone and would call out to him or look to him for something and then realize he isn't there this was mostly difficult the first few weeks after he left. Now every time someone mentions Leo the room goes quite almost like they are guilty for bring it up, they all try to forget Leo isn't there.

"I am not sure my sons he has a lot to work though in his mind and his heart." Their father looked down he too was missing Leonardo.

"uhggg I just wish things would go back to normal we have been stuck down here the entire time Leo's been gone I am starting to go stir crazy!" Raph shouted

"Raphael, it is dangerous on the surface you mustn't go out there until your brother returns."

"right because everything is better when the mighty Leonardo is there to protect us!" He huffed and stormed to his room making a point to nock Mikey's towner over, and to reserve a loud Hey from the orange clad turtle.

"I wonder why you didn't send him to Japan." Donnie mumbled as he turned back to his work. Master Splinter sighed at his second eldest quick anger.

As quickly as their peace returned an alarm started to sound Don quickly got up and ran to the monitors with the rest of his family close behind him.

"What is it Donatello?" the old rat asked with concerned eyes

"Well it looks like April send a distress signal from her place." He said franticly typing on the computer

"Well what are we waiting for let's go save her!" Raph shouted as he twirled his Sai

"My sons it is too dangerous"

"No offence Master Splinter but we can't wait for Leo to return to rescue a friend." Raph said as the three turtles ran out of the Lair.

At Aprils a little earlier

'today has been a slow day.' April thought to herself as her head rested in her hand, she looked over her empty shop.

"I wonder how the boys are doing?" she said aloud to no one in particular she hasn't seen the boys for over two months she had called but Donnie said they were keeping a low profile for a while not really telling her why, of course she did not complain the turtles have been running around almost non-stop taking out the purple dragons and the foot ninja they deserved a break.

She thought about going down as well just to say hi but she thought against it she found she needed a break to from all the craziness that comes with knowing the teenage mutant ninja turtles. She also thought this would be a good time to work on her store and actually have it open for business but there are always days like today where she would be lucky to even get one person in the shop, it was also days like this that she missed the turtles the most.

April's eyes snapped open when she heard the ding of her door opening "hello welcome to my shop if you need anything I would-" she cut herself off when she recognized the person at the door. "Casey what are you doing here?"

"I came to see you." He said both blushing slightly "it doesn't look like you have to many customers … would you like to go down to visit the guys it's been awhile."

"I would love to Casey but I really need to keep the shop open for a full day before I go running off." She sighed almost regretting what she just said. Just then the door opened again but instead of the customer she was hoping to see five-foot ninja came into the shop.

"Not again!" April cried as Casey began fighting the ninja but Casey was having trouble fighting these ninjas has they were better trained then he remembered them being. So, both Casey and April were over run and now they were held by them. The door opened again and a dark hooded figure walked in and chuckled at the sight before them.

"Who are you!" Casey shouted as he struggled against the ninja holding him.

"Who am I? I am the person that will destroy the turtles!" the figure said as they lifted the hood to show a very familiar smiling face

"Karai!" they shouted

"What do you want!" April said shooting her best glare at the ninja, despite the fear she felt inside.

"I want the turtles, now tell me where they are!" she demanded

"We won't tell you anything!" Casey shouted

"I want the location of their lair." Karai said again her voice begin to sound annoyed along with her usual cruel tone.

"You just wait Karai they will be here soon and they will make short work of you and your ninja!" April shouted before she even knew what she was saying. It didn't seam she spoke to soon because just then three human sized turtles knocked out the ninja's holding their friends.

"You wanted us well here we are!" Raph shouted

"Only three of you where is Leonardo?" Karai asked not at all surprised that her five ninjas were taken out

"Wouldn't you like to know." Mikey said as more ninja began to poor in at all sizes.

"No not my shop not again!" April cried the turtles carried the fight to the roof tops and away from Aprils shop so they didn't destroy it again but now they were thinking that was a mistake because they were being surrounded

"Raph what the plan!" Mikey shouted as he punched on ninja in the gut and hit two on the head with his chucks.

"Raph there are too many we are being surrounded!" Donnie shouted as he knocked several ways with his bow staff.

Raph couldn't think; he wasn't used to leading his brother he wasn't used to being asked for what to do next normally he would worry about what he was doing in a fight and then Leo would come up with a plan, he would give him a hard time about it and they would win and go home. But Leo wasn't here and now the responsibility landed on him and he didn't know what to do. Maybe Splinter was right it was too dangerous when their was only three of them.

"Raph!" both his little brothers yelled to grab his attention he looked over at them he saw Donnie was boxed in and Mikey was trying to get to his brother but got hit on the head. Raph then was hit and sent flying from Karai kicking him in the back.

"Micky, Don!" Raph shouted now he was mad. For him everything when red and he shot to his feet punching and kicking the foot ninja left and right trying to get to his brothers. Before he knew it all the ninja just disappeared. Not thinking much into it he ran as fast as he could to his closes brother which happened to be Donatello; who was slowly getting back to his feet and using his jo as a cane.

"Mikey are you ok?" Raph called behind him as he helped Donnie the rest of the way to his feet. When he didn't get an answer, he turned looking in the direction he last saw Mikey but nothing was there. "this isn't funny Mikey come out!" Raph shouted annoyed at their youngest brother. Again, there was no answer

"Mikey!?" Donnie called but he too did not get a response back. Raph left Don to scowler the roof tops looking for their now missing brother after ten minutes and not finding anything he went back to Donnie's side.

"Anything?" Don asked. Raph shook his head not trusting his voice to speak "what? You don't think…" he didn't need to finish that sentence they knew the dark truth the foot had their little brother and at that moment they couldn't do anything.

Normally Raph would go running off looking for his baby brother he would march into foot head corners and demanded his brother back he was still planning on doing just that but right now he had to get Donnie home.

Raph's POV

Back in the Lair I was sitting on the couch waiting for Master Splinter to come out of the infirmary after he fixed up Don. My mind began to wondered what would Leo do if he was in this situation he would probably forcing me to calm down and come back home so they could come up with a plan to get Mikey back I would yell at him that they should just run in there and take out who ever got in their way, then Leo would tell me everything wrong with that plan then find a way to calm me down like he always does… or at least what he used to do before that final showdown with the Shredder.

Now I am not sure, now I am the oldest and I am so lost on what to do. I let out a low growl and stood up; I walked over to my favorite punching bag. This always helped me to let out some steam and to think.

Punch, punch, punch my mind went back to the fight on the roof top; punch Donnie and Mikey calling my name, punch everything going red, punch then everything just disappeared Mikey disappeared I gave a really hard punch making the bag to go flying off the chain.

"Raphael." I turned to see Splinter standing behind me.

"I am so sorry I failed Mikey… it's my fault he's gone, if I was thinking differently if Leo was here-" I said tears threated to fall my shoulders slumped as I turned away from my sensei

"Raphael none of this is your fault you wanted to go to miss O'Neil's add."

"But I got Don hurt and Mikey's gone!" I shouted my anger returning

"Yes, and we will get him back but I am proud of you that you did not run off looking for him or going after the foot when you had another brother in need." Master Splinter said

Why was he not yelling at me why was he not disappointed in me? I didn't understand I messed up and he said he was proud of me for trying and bringing Donnie home if Leo did half of what I did he would have gotten a lecture why?

I did not voice my opinions and before Splinter could say anything else the door opened to revile April and Casey.

Normal POV

"Guys I am so glad you are ok you guys didn't come back to the shop after you lead the ninjas away." April said

"Where was Leo I didn't see him there?" Casey asked with a serious tone after he saw how Raph was acting April picked up on this mood to she knew something was wrong.

"And where is Don and Mikey." April asked

"Leo left." Don said as he stepped out of the infirmary his ankle was wrapped and he was still using his bow staff as a cane.

"Don! What do you mean Leo left where is he?" April yelled as she ran up to the injured turtle

"He is on a journey to find himself." Master Splinter said somewhat regretting that he banished his eldest son to Japan.

"And Mikey well the foot has him." Raph said quietly

The two humans looked at each other with worried expressions.

"Don't worry we will get Mikey back." They said with determination.

So, I hope you liked this chapter Mikey is gone and the war is just beginning.
