Due to cliffhanger killing, I decided to make another chapter. Sorry for the cliffhanger and questions like: Why is the "real" Don not dead? And what happened to him then? Especially: And why is he with a priest?! Oh man, I laughed at that question...well, a bit. So this is the sequel already. So warning, these answers are not real. Bust in and ask Eastman and Laird. ;)
DISCLAIMER: Don't own 'em.

Losing Innocence 2
The new day arises. The brand new day of freedom and cleansing of the tainted world finally came true. Now the world once again will come to peace and Earth will once again be an untainted planet.
A few days later, a flag from every country was raised and sang their national anthem while remembering the four heroic mutants that saved them. When they knew that their father died, some say "I'm sure their father is really proud of them up high in heaven.". And sure, he was. But no one knew what happened to the turtle Donatello. April said "It was not the Donnie here. It was the Donnie thirty years back when he was just a teenager." and sure, they were still proud of him.
They demolished the palaces of the Shredder and built homes, buildings and other construction needed for the needy. At the center of every place of Shredder, they demolished it and built a memorial museum for the four heroic turtles; each having their own columns. Some of thsoe who survived when inside the abandoned lair and gathered everything that was left; meditation technique books, albums, punching bag...well let me just cut short...everything. They even grabbed their mask, attire, and whatever all left on their bodies. They even found Mikey's arm and decided to reattach it instead of displaying it.
The funeral came.
Father Roger was assigned to be at the funeral with Don. Upon hearing the names of his three brothers, shocked and fear crushed his heart. He knew it. His brothers were killed. If he just stood up and fought thirty years ago, none of this would have happened. Tears flowed on Don's cheek s but no one noticed.
As the next day came, the funeral was ready. Everyone in America including April who sat on the first row came. The rest watched on TV and thanked the Lord that He made them well and praised Splinter for raising them right. They hoped that their father proud, somehow.
As they entered, April was shocked to dee the real Don.
"Don? Is that...the real you?'April asked. Don nodded. "I came back from a missionary."Don said.
He looked at each coffin, memories of his brothers flowing through his head.
Soon, the choir began.
Os iusti meditabitur sapientiam, Beatus vir qui suffert tentationem,
Et lingua eius loquetur indicium.
Quoniqm cum probates fuerit accipient coronam vitae.
"We all here today to say our final farewell to the greatest heroes who saved us from this corruption; Hamato Leonardo, Hamato Raphael and Hamato Michelangelo. They are brothers...for thirty years, they've been trying to save us with a group of resistance. Most importantly, they've trying to search for their brother Hamato Donatello. And here he is, standing beisde me."Father Roger said. Dn allowed the tears to flow freely.
"We were a team...how the shell did you just abandon us?"
I'm sorry. We were suppose to be a team. We should have been fighting Shredder...all of us in the first place. But I caused everything like this. How can I be smart...when I'm not the wisest? Don thought as he looked at his brothers' coffins.
Kyrie, fons bonitatis.
Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison.
[ Lyrics from: . ]
O quam sancta, quam serena,
Quam benigma, quam amoena esse Virgo creditur.
Only the first row which were the resistance, stood up and looked at the coffins. Each of them still. Tears flowed down their cheeks, especially April. For a long time, they've been great friends. April remembered a flashback; a funny one to be exact.
Mikey tosses the marshmallow at Raph's nose. Mikey laughs. Soon, Raph already beat up Mikey. Leo and Donnie tried to stop but are ended up in the wrestle. Casey decided to join in the fun, wrestling the turtles on the grass.
"Well, we are a family. But, will we be able to teach the kids some manners?"April asked, looking a Splinter. "I assure you, Ninjutsu is difficult enough, I am not a miracle worker."Splinter said.
April chuckled.
O quam sancta, quam serena,
Quam benigma, quam amoena,
O castitatis lilium
As the instrumental was played, Donnie was the last. They decided to bring Splinter's body. As he looked at Splinter's body, a tear flew. "I'm sorry, father. I failed you."Don said.
He went to Leo's coffin.
"Leo, thanks for being a leader...for the times that you protected us. Remember when we got stuck in the sewers when we were nine? It was really fun. Keep up the good work."Donnie said.
Don turned to Raph.
"Raph...I don't have much to say but...keep that hothead brain of yours. Remember when you chased Mikey when he painted your ShellCycle Pink? Oh man, we all laughed when you were asleep...even Sensei who was in a laughing fit. Good times. Thanks for not trying to control your temper...even though you twisted my arm after sensei gave us the talk. I remembered after that, you vomited the whole time. Mikey tamed you for some pizza and you almost killed him for it. Nice job, Raph. Thanks."Don said.
Lastly, he turned to Mikey. Such innocence tainted, why?
"Mikey...you were the most awesome brother anyone one could ever have. Even though you were a pain in the shell, you were really cool. I just don't know why you changed. Mikey, we didn't mean for you to tell you to grow up. We were just stressed. Sorry about that. Now I regret it. I wished you were carefree again. You always said that I'm the glue of the family. Thanks...but it was actually you. That's why I never wanted you to grow up...you'll become a harsh, man. I hope Leo and Raph will learn it too. I love ya, bro. Don't forget that."Don said. But here's the miracle: Mikey's balnk face turned into Mikey's famous smile. Don let mixtures of tears of sadness and joy flow through.
Kyrie, fons bonitatis.
Kyrie, ignis divine, eleison.
Now, they were gonna bury them. The rain fell so they pulled up umbrellas. Each one put a flower on their coffin. Don layed a big bouquette of flowers each on their caskets.
The rain poured harder as their coffins sunked in.
Soon, they left.
O quam sancta, quam serena,
Quam benigma, quam amoena,
O castitatis lilium.
Don threw a flower. He was only left alone. He couldn't help it.
"I'm sorry. I love you all."
Sorry if it was too short. I'm so lazy today.
Review?
Nipah! ;)
