So sorry for posting this chapter late! Been busy because of school!

Chapter 3

Leo closed his eyes, and started thinking. He feared that the poison could end his life. His brothers needed him, they already lost Splinter and it was horrible. If he died, who knew what would happen to them. It was hard enough for him to get his team back in line, how are they going to do that without him?

He shuddered and dried his eyes.

"I'm so sorry Sensei.. If.. If only I had planned things right, we wouldn't have lost you.. I'm sorry.."

Flash Back..

"Sensei!"

Leo yelled from the Shellraiser, the building was about to explode and they had to leave.

"Leonardo, you must leave now!"

Splinter fought off the Foot ninjas as they tried getting closer to his sons. Leo's eyes widened as he saw the Shredder preparing his gauntlet and ran towards them.

"Go, my son!"

"No! I'm not leaving you!"

He reached out one of his sword and was about to jump when arms wrapped around him from behind and pulled him in.

"We have to go now!" Donnie ordered.

"No! Sensei!"

Leo tried squirming out but his brother wasn't letting go.

"Raph hit the wheels!"Donnie ordered Raph.

Raph started the van and in seconds the Shellraiser was out if the building safely. As soon as it stopped, Leo opened the door and ran out towards the building.

"Sensei!" he yelled.

Then the bomb went off and a large shockwave came and threw Leo back. The explosion hardly left anything behind, only bits of rocks and ashes.

"No.. No. NOO!" Leo yelled in agony.

He ran to where the building, or what use to be called a building, and started digging through the debris looking for his father.

"Leo..."Donnie went over to his brother. "It's.. No use."

"No! Don't say that! He's alive! I know he is.. We just need to get him out before it's too late!"He ordered.

His brothers started helping him dig hoping that they would find him, alive. But their hopes soon vanished, when they finally found his...Corpse.

...

His phone rang and interrupted his thoughts. He looked at the screen and found a reminder flashing.

"Time For Your Training!"

"Poisoned is not an excuse.."He mumbled.

He took his katanas and sheathed them.

...

Leo swiftly moved as he was preforming the new kata he learned today.

"Wow even when you're sick, you still train."

Leo turned around and found his baby brother Mikey.

"I'm not sick, I'm just.. Poisoned. Anyways I just want to get the poison thingy off my head."

"You mean Chemibody?"

"What?"

"Chemibody, that's what I named it, because it's a chemical and it's inside your body. So I thought-"

"I get it! And you're not helping me not think about it."

"Oh yeah, sorry dude."

"It's okay, why did you come? Do you want me to help you in anything?"Leo asked started getting irritated.

"I just wanted to sit with you, you know maybe you want some company."

"Really?"The leader asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Yeah! What's wrong with that?"

"I know you're not simply here just to sit with me and do nothing."

"Exactly! That's why I brought.."

Mikey got a water balloon out of his pocket and threw it at Leo's face, his brother simply caught the balloon before it hit him.

"Mikey you know we're not suppose to play with water balloons in the lair! Let's play out."

"Oh come on Leo, just have some fun! Wait what?"

"I said lets play out in the sewers and see if Raph and Donnie want to join us. It's pretty hot today and- Ouf!"

Mikey interrupted as he wrapped his arms around his older brother.

"You're the best big bro ever!"

Leo chuckled softly and hugged him back.

"Thanks Mikey.."

He said and placed a kiss on his baby brother's head, he broke the hug and looked at him.

"Now let's go, fill up some balloons and get the others."

Mikey's face brightened, he held his brother's hand and ran with him to get the balloons ready.

...

In the sewers...

"So what's all the excitement cheif?"Raph asked.

"We're going to play balloon fight!"Mikey said excitingly.

"You've got to be kidding, you got me all the way here to play with ballons?"

"While we train."Leo added.

"Huh?"They looked at him in a puzzled way.

"We are going to train while playing with the water balloons. We don't have to always train in the dojo."Leo explained.

"This is going to double the awesomeness!"Mikey cheered happily.

"So, what are we going to do?"Donnie asked.

"This how the game goes, each round we all have one balloon to use, no more."Leo explained. "With this balloon we have to use it to attack."

"How is that suppose to be training?"Raph asked.

"Aha, this is going to train us on using our weapon correctly and wisely. Imagine if we are... Fighting Xever or Bradford, what will you do if you had only one ninja star? You can either give up, hit one of them or hit them both."

"Yeah, how are we suppose to hit the two of them with one ninja star?"Donnie asked.

"That's the trick in the game, you have to think of away to win with a one shot."

His brothers nodded as they understood the concept of the game. Each of them went and got a balloon from the bucket.

"Now, there will be no teams we're all against each others, your goal is to hit and avoid in the same time. Ready?"Leo ordered.

They nodded.

"Round one begins in.."Leo stated. "Now!"

...

The four of them separated and made sure they were far enough from each others. A moment of silence passed as they were all planning for how to win. Then Mikey broke the silence..

"Boyakashaahh!"He threw his orange balloon towards his hothead brother. "Heads up bro!"He yelled.

Raphael jumped away and the water balloon popped on the floor.

"Missed me bro!"Raph chuckled.

"Aw shell.."Mikey whined, then his eyes grew wide as he saw three balloons coming his way. "AHH!"

The three balloons landed on him and left him laying on the splash it caused.

"Thought you said no teaming up..."He asked his blue clad brother.

"Well, we didn't team up, we all simply had the same enemy."Leo asked he couldn't help it but laugh.

"More like the same annoying little brother."Raph added.

"Oh.. Hey!"Mikey said.

"Mikey you're out."Leo announced.

"Aw man.."Mikey mumbled.

"Round two begins in.."Leo stated.

He went and got a balloon and waited till his brothers got one.

"Now! Go!"

...

Leo got a towel and started drying himself. It was fun playing with his brothers, especially the three of them were against Mikey until he was down. His smile disappeared when he hissed in pain. His thighs hurt him again, it hurt him earlier when they were playing the balloon fight. He thought that the pain would just go if he ignored it, it did but it came back worse than before. He barely made it and sat on the bed, then he reached his phone and dialed Donnie's number. In few seconds he heard a knock on the door, then the door knob was turned.

"Leo you in there? I saw your missed call, is everything okay?"
