Song: We are one
Artist: 12 Stones

"Uh, look guys! People in turtle costumes!"

Leo couldn't help but to roll his eyes, this must have been the hundredth time he heard that. As quick as the revealed themselves from the shadows people always said the same thing; People in turtle costumes. It's not that he blamed them, who would believe that creatures like them existed, but it was getting tiring. The leader could feel how his brothers took their stance behind his back, weapons ready and muscled tensed, their mind ready for the fight. No one seemed to notice the different in quantity between them.

"You're going to fight?" One of the muscled men said, swinging his bat as he thought he scared them by showing it. "Four against seventeen? You're odds are bad?" Leo furrowed his brows as he cleared his throat.

"Four? No… We are one, we will stand together. We live to win another victory."

And with an invisible sign from their leader the turtle made their move, their move towards victory.


Song: Born to lead
Artist: Hoobastank

"Why?"

Raph looked up from the bike he was bending over, his right hand clenching a wrench and the left holding up the notebook from Don, which carefully explained everything he had to do before installing the new exhaust to his precious bike. The one who had interrupted him was no other than Mikey, crossing his arms and looking at him with an incredulous look.

"Why what?" Raph asked, leaning back from the bike to get a better look at his younger brother.

"Why do you keep pretending?" Raph sighed, he hated when his brother were giving vague clues like this.

"Pretendin' what, Mikey?"

"Pretending everything's fine!" Mikey sighed loudly, making Raph glance at him with confused eyes. The little brother sighed before he continued talking, while going closer to his hot-headed brother. "I know you were shaken by Don's second mutation, that you wanted to go after Bishop so badly. It's over now, I know that, but we all are still shaking by it, I know even you are. So why do you keep pretending everything's fine?" Raph listened closely to every word Mikey said, taking in every little tone he used. When the young turtle finished his brother was smiling.

"I don't know Mikey." He said, while shrugging his shoulders. "I guess I do it 'cause deep within I know nothin' will get better with me kickin' some asses… But at the same time I know I nothin' will go wrong if I lose my temper a bit 'cause…"

"'Cause…?"

"'Cause you're there to keep me in line…"


Song: I'd Die for You
Artist: Bon Jovi

"Why do you keep goofing off like that Mikey, you only get hurt while doing so!"

Don sighed while bandaging his little brother's newest wound. "You know you're not only hurting yourself, your jeopardizing our safety as well when you're goofing off like that! You were lucky that I was close today, or else I would… Maybe I would not have a little brother to patch up tonight… And you know… I might not be a savior… So next time you maybe aren't so lucky." The genius sighed as he leaned back on the chair, glancing at his little brother, who was unusually quiet. Don knew he had been rough in his speech, but Mikey needed to understand. He needed to face the reality of this cruel world they were living in, where people died every day.

"If…" The purple masked brother tensed as Mikey's weak voiced could be heard. "… If you could see inside my heart, then you would understand I'd never mean to hurt you." He lifted his big, blue, innocent eyes to carefully peak at his brother, who, to his relief, was smiling a gentle smile.

"I know, goofball. I'm just worried about you."


Song: Anthem of The Angels
Artist: Breaking Benjamin

"I'm through with this Leo!"

Leo tensed as Raph's sharp voice reached him like a lash, but it didn't matter because he still couldn't see him. It had been four months since he had lost his sight, three years since Casey passed, six years since Splinter had passed away and eleven year since Donatello had disappeared, and things had just fallen apart, brick by brick. The Shredder had taken over, Manhattan was changed from the good old days, they were changed and they would probably never go back to the same.

"What do you expect me to do Raph? What do you expect US to do? We're not the same as we just to be!" Leo defended himself, turning around to face his brother, even though his eyes never would show his face again.

"Ya're an ass Leo, ya know that! Just 'cause Splinter and Donnie isn't with us any more ya just give up! I'm through with you, I'm leavin'!"

"What do you plan to do Raph? Taking on Shredder by yourself? It's hopeless to be alone out there, and you know it!" Leo's breathing was hard, his frustration level was higher than ever before and he felt how his fist was clenched by pure anger. Before he never lost his temper like this… Before, when everything was alright…

"I can't stay here with you… There is nothing left of you, I can see it in your eyes…"

"How about Mikey?" Leo asked, and though he couldn't see it he felt how Raph tensed, a sore point for him.

"He'll manage…" He sighed before he took a new breath. "It's just for me to leave…" Leo felt how his shoulder shagged, how hope slowly faded out into nothingness. He took a deep breath, as he heard how Raph's footsteps were bringing him further away from him.

"…And say the last goodbye." He whispered.


Song: The City Is Mine
Artist: Jay-Z

The lair was dark and quiet, four turtles slept peacefully in their beds. No, not four, only three, once was sneaking up, tiptoeing his way past his brothers' room, being extra carefully past his older brother's room. His made his way to the garage, letting the large room flow in light from the lamps.

"My baby…" Raph smiled as he genteelly stroked the bike's seat with his hand. It was a beautiful night outside, way too beautiful to be locked inside the lair sleeping. Turning around he looked for his helmet, only to notice it wasn't where he had left it.

"Looking for this?" The gentle voice of his genius brother made Raph spun around, only to find him standing by the door opening with his helmet in his hands.

"Don!" Raph nervously began, looking around for a escape. "I.. I was only checkin' the oil, I thought I had forgotten to fill it up yesterday but it seems as I was mis…" The hot-headed brother was suddenly interrupted when Donatello tossed the helmet to his brother. "Mistaken?" Utterly confused Raphael looked at his brother, who shrugged his shoulders.

"You belong to the city." He said, with a small smile playing on his lips. Raph was awestricken by his brother's comment but then filled with gratefulness. Nodding quickly to his brother he pushed the helmet over his head and within ten seconds he had given life to the bike under between his legs and roared out from the garage with high speed. Don watched his brother, amused by his love for riding his bike through the city at night.

"Why did you let him go, you know Leo will be pissed at him when he finds out he have sneaked out again." A sleepy Mikey came through the door, scratching his neck and hiding a yawn behind his backhand. Don shrugged yet again his shoulders.

"He's a man of the night." He said before turning around to go back to bed. "Besides, Leo already knows."


Song: It's My Turn to Fly
Artist: The Urge

Donatello took a deep breath, felt how his muscled tensed for a second before he let the air out and the muscled relaxed. He needed his focus; he needed all the mental focus he could gain if he wanted to win this. It was all up to him now, Raph had taken Mikey away since their little brother had fainted and Leo was away battling some other foes. Now it was up to Don to not let anyone pass by him… and to not get defeated of course.

"It's my to fly…" Don whispered lowly to himself as he took his stance, his bo staff raised slightly. His enemies tensed before leaping towards him. But Don didn't fear, he felt so calm and relaxed. "Father be with me tonight…"

When Raph and Leo returned to Don he stood calmly in a circle of defeated Foot-ninjas, proud filling his eyes as he had soared higher than ever before.


Song: Own little world
Artist: Celldweller

The man glanced at the creature behind the bars; amazed that it actually existed things like that, or him as it apparently was of male sex. When John Bishop had talked about it to him he hadn't believed him at first, called the man loony behind his back, but right now he had to eat those words, because right in front of him an example was. And just to think three more of those existed out there. Suddenly you looked at the world with new eyes, with new possibilities.

The scientist took a deep breath as he took one step closer to the cage, where the creature was being held. Michelangelo… that was his name if he could remember clearly. He was sitting in the far corner, his shell pressed to the bars and his face hidden in his folded arms. The only sign that indicated that his life still was with him was the breaths he took with an even rhythm. The scientist suddenly tensed, was it pity that he felt for the creature? He shook his head before he cleared his throat.

"I'm just another one for them to break down…" It had spoken; it really had spoken to him.

"Excuse me?" The man asked, not to sure what Michelangelo, the creature, meant.

"I'm just another one for them… for you, to break down." Suddenly it looked at him, with those huge blue eyes, so innocent, so frighten. "I just dream… Dream of a world for me and my kind…" He whispered, tears treating to stream down his face.

The scientist heart was broken; he turned away and quickly walked out of the room, leaving the creature… No, leaving Michelangelo alone in the dark, behind his bars.


Song: We Did Nothing Wrong
Artist: Royal Bliss

"Hey…"

Leo turned around to see how his youngest brother came walking over the roof, with the same goofy smile as every playing on his face. "Thought I would find you here! Why did you storm off like that, dude?" He asked his older brother, has he placed himself next to him, watching out over the city, waiting for an answer.

"I'm sorry Mikey, I just lost it for a second. Raph driving me nuts as usual." The leader sighed, letting his head tilt backwards so he could see the star-filled sky, the one thing that could calm his racing head down. He could hear Mikey chuckle slightly.

"Yeah, he's good at that!" Leo smiled slightly and closed his eyes for a second. "But usually it's he who storms off, not you. Something else must be bugging you. What's the problem, you can talk with good ol' Mikey about it." 'Ah, of course, nothing slips past Mikey.' The leader thought, amused by it all. Even though he seems unfocused, unserious and living his life to the fullest he never fails to notice when a brother is down.

"Well, I have been thinking a lot lately, about how we live. We danced along to the violence,

not scared of anyone. Why do we keep fighting them, Mikey? Why do we keep risking our lives? Why do we lose control?" Leo looked at his brother who shrugged his shoulders.

"I think it's 'cause…" He quieted down, looking at the starry sky together with his older brother before he chuckled and looked over to the blue masked one. "…'cause…We did nothing wrong!"


Song: To Lose my Life
Artist: White Lies

"Raph, what are you doing?"

Raphael looked down from his position, high up in the tree, to see how his "Fearless Leader" was glancing up at him with furrowed brows. "Are you a squirrel now?" He asked, crossing his arms with a small, teasing smile playing on his lips.

"Hardihar, Leo, really funny!" Raph sighed, rolled his eyes and started to make his way down to his brother. It was really annoying how his older brother could destroy moments like these, it wasn't every day that they got a vacation at Casey's farmhouse.

"Sorry Raph, but seriously, tree climbing? I thought that was a child's game, as you told Mikey the other day." The leader watched his brother closely, how, slightly embarrassed, were looking away.

"Yeah, it is… But you know… I…" Leo raised his eye ridge, looking closely at his brother with a glance that clearly said to him to go on. Raph sighed and shrugged his shoulders while giving the clear sky a look. "I was always careless as a child. You know, givin' you guys a hard time sometimes."

"Sometimes?" Leo looked at his brother incredulously. The hot-headed sighed, obviously frustrated.

"Okay, a lot. Happy now? Well, I hoped as a young kid that someday I would reach high with my soul… And…"

"And?"

"… And there's a part of me that still believes my soul will soar above the trees." Raph sighed, looking away as his cheeks became slightly more red than usual. Leo couldn't help but to chuckle at his brother's unusual expression but when Raph gave him that look he smiled gently.

"Don't worry Raph, it will soar… Higher than anyone else."


Song: Join Me in Death
Artist: HIM

"N-no Mikey! No…"

Raph coughed, the taste of iron filling his mouth as blood sipped through his clenched teeth. But his focus wasn't on his on health, they were at Mikey. His little brother, lying in a pool of blood so close to him, so close but yet so far away for he wasn't breathing. No, he wasn't breathing, he wasn't moving and more importantly, he wasn't laughing. His trademark grin was gone and would never fill his face again. He had become so pale during the minutes he had laid there, paler for every small drip of blood that left his cold body.

"Raph! Mikey!" Raph could hear them, Leo and Don, he could hear their shouts and their steps on the hard roof, but he couldn't let the focus on them, he needed to get to Mikey. Even though his body was screaming on him he ignored it, he tried to reach out his hands to Mikey but someone was quicker than him. Hands grabbed his arms and turned him around, making the pain even greater than before.

"Don! Mikey…" Leo began but Don interrupted him.

"He's dead… I can't do anything for him…" He sounded so cold, so emotionless and hard, but it was true. Their little brother was dead and Raph was still alive, still being able to be saved. The hot-headed brother felt nothing now, for now the reality had grabbed him with a punch in the stomach; Mikey was dead. It was impossible, but he was dead. No, it couldn't be true. And then Raph started to do something he hadn't done in years; he cried. Salty tears ran down his cheeks from his ambered colored eyes, those eyes that the shine was fading for every second. He coughed again, spitting up more blood in the process. But the tears didn't stop.

"Take it easy Raph!" Leo said, laying a hand on his brother's shoulder. "Don, how is he?"

"It doesn't look good Leo. The sword have pierced to several organs, he has lost so much blood. I need to hook him up with an IV, get a lot of blood transfusion and preform advance surgery on him but…"

"But what?"

"He doesn't have the time." Another blunt conclusion from the genius turtle, the medical of the family, but Raph didn't blame him. He had known already when the sword had pierced through the stomach that he wouldn't make it, but his concentration had been with Mikey. Mikey… Carefully Raph tilted his head to his left, looking at his dear, little brother lying motionless in the pool of blood. He slowly moved a shaky hand towards him, grabbing his little brother's cold hands in his.

"Soon my brother…" He whispered with a hoarse voice before glancing back to his brothers. Both eyes were filled with tears as the life was ticking away for this brother as well. "This world is a cruel place…" He started but quickly had to stop to take some deep breath to manage to keep speaking. "So before life tears us apart… Let me say… I love you guys…" And with that said the life of Raphael Hamato left earth and began its journey to the other side.

But he wasn't alone, no. For on the other side his brother was waiting for him. Michelangelo looked at his brother with a sad smile on his lips.

"I'm sorry you had to die as well Raph, I never wanted it… But I'm happy as well, for now I'm not alone."

Raphael smiled and laid an encouraging hand on his brother's shoulder as they both began to walk towards the next life.
