(A/N: Muahahahaha!! Now I am going to update this story again!! Making you suffer without a daily dosage of 'Only The Night Can Hear Me Screaming'!! – Continues evilly laughing- Anyyyways… I plan on finishing this story and the one I mentioned a few sentences ago by New Years. Who knows? I might even post a new story to work on after New Years…)

Raph POV (HA!! You thought he was dead!!!!)

Life drained out of me and a blanket of darkness covered my vision completely. I suddenly felt coldness and emptiness. Almost as if I was completely somewhere else. Was this how it was supposed to be when you're dead? I suddenly could see light in front of my closed eye lids. I opened them and had to gasp for air, which I badly needed. I was dead for a while there, but now I can breathe! But how…? In front of me was familiar darkness. In fact, there was even a glowing being that was very familiar…

"You get price, yes?" An even more familiar voice sounded. The time wizard!! I ran up to the figure, and I don't know what came over me, but I hugged him. I gasped again when I realized that I had two arms! I let go of him and ran my right hand all up and down my left arm. I calmed down after a few minutes, ready to ask and answer questions.

"Thank you for reviving me, sir." I thanked him from the bottom of my heart, and said it like that to sound sophisticated, in a way. The old man shook his head.

"No, no child. Me not the one who bring you back…" He replied. I was so confused. Who did then? I was about to ask, when a golden portal, kind of like the one that I used when fighting with Dr. Stockman. In stepped my brother… Leo. My real Leo. The one from back in my dimension. I was standing there, too excited to even move. "Just go over and hug already!"

This broke my still trance and I ran to my brother and hugged him tightly, trembling. While hugging him, I finally realized what the price was. It was what happened. The slaughter of my family in the other dimension. Tears came to my eyes. I also realized how all my enemies found out my secret. Leo told them. He was able to get into my head before, and he was able to get into theirs. It was his duty to have me know what my actions would lead to. I didn't care. As long as I had him back.

"Raphie… I came up with a way for us to be in the same dimension… And nothing have to go wrong… Isn't that right, Miraijin?" Leo told me, and asked the time traveler, who must be 'Miraijin'.

"Yes, Leonardo. Yes… A time in which you both are very much alive…" Miraijin answered. My head snapped up from Leo's shoulder.

"Do you want to go, Raph?" Leo questioned me. I looked at my brother.

"Leo, you have no idea how much you mean to me… I mean, you weren't even in the same dimension as me and you were still an amazing brother. But I don't know… Won't we be missing out on some things?? Like our actual brothers?" I asked.

"You see, Raphael, the first time Miraijin sent you off into 'a different time' you were actually in a different dimension. But now he will actually take us back in time, right before you… You know. We will give us a choice. To either stay dead or not have to go through anymore heartache or having to defeat our enemies anymore, or we can go to our time and still have to do it. But together." Leo answered. Wow… That is a hard choice. I have a choice to spare myself of anymore heartache or fighting or to deal with it and deal with it with Leo by my side. A smile spread across my lips as I came up with my decision.

"Let's do it. Together Leo… I mean, together, me and you can definitely defeat our enemies. Let's go." I replied. Leo smiled and gripped my hand. I felt instant comfort and protection when he did that motion. Miraijin grinned and began to wave his still strange looking staff.

"Now, you must be off to your time!" He shouted. I heard what sounded like heavy breezes and air spinning around me. I gripped Leo's hand even harder. I felt myself begin to fade away from this dark place…

And I was definitely ready to start over new. Especially if I was with Leo while doing it.

(A/N: Miraijin means 'time traveler from the future' or 'man of the future'. Or as we might know from this story 'time traveler'.)
