Yeah! Chapter 2! Thanks for the reviews! I love them! :)
Disclaimer; really? Do I have to say it? I will NEVER own tmnt!
Leo opened his eyes. At first, he was confused by where he was, then he remembered. His father had rescued him.
As if on cue, Oroku Saki walked in. "Hello, my son, did you sleep well?"
"Yes father."
"You will get dressed and then Karai will begin your training."
"Yes, father... I feel like I'm missing something, I can't remember it, but I feel like... I don't know." Leo sighed.
"Leonardo, I'm sure you'll remember in time, now we must get ready. Your first training run will be tonight."
"Already? But father..."
"You must trust my judgement, my son." The Shredder snapped.
"Yes father." Leo grabbed his training outfit and got dressed. It hung loosely on his thin frame, except for the belt tied around his waist.
The Shredder led Leo into a room where Karai was standing. "Hello, Leonardo, I trust you are feeling better?" She said.
"Better, thank you, though I can't remember much." Leo looked down as though embarrassed.
"Do you remember our training before the accident?"
"Sorry, Karai, but no."
"We will run through katas and maybe spar." Karai said.
At the lair...
"Shell! Where is Leo?!" Raph screamed.
"I'm still looking, I'm worried too Raph." Don continued to look for anything that might help find their brother.
"Man, this is our faults. If we hadn't been mean to Leo, he wouldn't have went out." Mikey began to pace frantically.
"My sons, it is not your faults. Leonardo chose to go out. But now we must find him, I have sensed that your brother is in danger." Splinter lay a hand on Mikey's shoulder.
Foot HQ...
Leo dodged another attack and leaped over Karai's head. They had run through katas and now were sparring.
Karai never knew that Leo as a kid was this good.
She ducked as a foot soared towards her head. The then swung her leg around and knocked Leo off his feet.
Before he knew what happened, Karai had her katana to his throat.
"Well done Leonardo." Karai helped him up and they grabbed their water.
"Do you really think father will let me go out tonight?"
"Leonardo, it may seem too soon, and, personally, I feel it is, but you should feel honored father would let you go out this soon after an injury, specifically to the head." Karai said. "Now go shower and get ready for your run."
Leo nodded and walked to his room to wash off.
After a long, hot shower, Oroku Saki knocked on the door.
"Leonardo, I suggest you get ready. You will be leaving soon."
"Yes father." Came the reply.
Leo got into his foot uniform and grabbed his katana.
The Shredder was waiting there in full body armour except for the helmet which he held.
"Good, we will bring some foot ninja with us and you will watch closely." The Shredder put his helmet on and began to walk with Leo right behind him.
At the lair...
"That's it, I'm going out to find him." Raph stormed to the door.
"You and us all." Don grabbed his bo staff and joined Raph at the door.
"Don't forget me." Mikey stepped up, swinging his nun chucks with determination.
They all went out to search for their brother.
Leo followed the Shredder as they ran across the rooftops. As much as he tried, he kept falling behind.
"Leonardo, hurry up now!" The Shredder commanded harshly.
"I can't father, you're going too fast." Leo panted.
The Shredder stopped and turned around. Leo could feel his glare through the helmet.
"Get over here, boy."
Leo slowly walked up to the Shredder, only to be struck on the face and sent sprawling across the rooftop.
"Never slack off, never say you can't do it and never defy me!" The Shredder yelled.
Mikey, Don, Raph and Splinter were walking across another roof when suddenly an angry cry met their ears.
'Never slack off, never say you can't do it, and never defy me!'
They all recognized the voice... The Shredder.
They ran to see the Shredder towering over an extremely small foot ninja.
"Shredder." Raph growled.
"Ah... if it isn't my old enemies."
"Where's Leo?" Raph demanded.
The smaller foot ninja slowly looked up.
"Father, what are those things?" He slowly asked.
"Shut up." The Shredder hissed at the boy.
"Father? What happened to Karai?" Don snorted.
"Quiet freaks." The Shredder hissed.
"You never answered my question. Where is Leo?" Raph took a threatening step forward.
"Somewhere..." The Shredder laughed.
"Where is he?" Mikey and Don joined.
"I'll tell you..." The Shredder ripped the mask off the small foot ninja's face, revealing a small boy, around the age of nine, with brown eyes and black hair. "Leonardo, these are the things that caused your memory loss."
Everyone's hearts stopped. Raph, the first to recover, stuttered, "L... Leo?"
"What do you want? Why did you do this to me?" Leo stepped back.
"What did you DO to him?!" Don yelled.
"Nothing, it's what YOU did to him." The Shredder laughed as he, the foot and Leo ran off.
"What just happened?" Mikey asked.
"I don't know, but we found Leo." Don said.
Foot HQ...
"I am very disappointed in you. Since you don't remember, let me remind you of the punishment of disappointment."
The Shredder punched Leo in the stomach repeatedly until the young boy was on the ground, gasping for air.
"I'm... sorry." He wheezed.
"I expect high things from my son."
"Father, what tided those things want?" Leo asked.
"They were the cause of your memory loss and wanted to finish the job."
"Why did they seem to care?"
"They wanted to convert you to their side."
"Oh, but why me?"
"We go back a while and they want to devastate me by taking my only son away."
Leo looked down, somehow, in his gut, he knew what his father had said wasn't true.
Alright, there is chapter two!
Tell me what ya think :)
