Hero – Skillet (just borrowing)

I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero (save me now)
I need a hero to save my life

Michelangelo stood, shocked, scared to death. Right before his eyes, his brothers had fallen, to the hands of Shredder. And as the enemy dashed forward, laughing at him, still in shock and unable to move, he knew that he had to get his grip soon or he'd be turtle soup.

A hero'll save me (just in time)

'Or just a hero', he thought, as he remembered his brothers, years of living together flashed in his mind…

I've gotta fight today
To live another day

Speakin' my mind today
(My voice will be heard today)

…and he found the willpower to move again, to live his life so that his brother's deaths will not be in vain.

"You…killed…my…brothers!" Michelangelo yelled as he attacked the Shredder who countered his skillfully. Michelangelo kept attacking, partly for his brothers but mostly to survive this battle. He had learnt through experience that the Shredder was not merciful, and he had to get away.

I've gotta make a stand
But I am just a man
(I'm not superhuman)

And as time moved on, Michelangelo got tired from his never-ceasing battle. Tired, he took a step back.

My voice will be heard today

"I wanna ask you one thing…" he said.

"Go ahead, freak, before I kill you, like I did with all your brothers." The Shredder responded smugly.

"What did us turtles ever do to you…to make you hate us so much?" Michelangelo asked, frustrated as he ran back into the battle.

It's just another war

"If we're the freaks, what are you? All we want to do is help save a race that isn't even ours and you're going about wanting to torture and kill us?" Mikey said, never faltering.

Just another family torn
(My voice will be heard today)
It's just another kill

"Just because we happened to be turtles, doesn't mean we're inhumane! We walk, talk and feel like others! Why can't you see that? 'Who cares? They're just freaks. Go ahead, kill the whole family!' Well, you know as much as I do that we do feel, don't you? You just don't care." Mikey continued hitting with all his might and swiftly darted about, Shredder being unable to keep up with him.

The countdown begins to destroy ourselves

Being unable to fight anymore, Shredder pulled out a remote with a single button and pressed it.

0:59

Michelangelo turned as he heard a constant beeping; giving Shredder the opening he needed to escape.

0:45

Michelangelo didn't bother to chase the piece of scum and instead began carrying his brothers to another building, one that wouldn't blow up.

0:33

First Don…

0:21

…then Raph…

0:07

…then Leo.

0:00

As he carried Leo's carcass to the building, he felt the explosion catch up with him, pushing him further through the air, hitting the ground hard and fading into black…
