~~Flashback~~
This poor creature didn't survive the fall...And it's bigger than the others...A sibling?
The lion spirit watched in sadness as the three small turtles moved towards the dead one, who had grass green skin; they had just fallen from the surface and hit the ground. The glass jar shattered and left three living baby turtles and one dead, one with sea-green skin made some tiny cute noises, like it was telling its brother to get up and watch them. The lion saw a rat running towards them and started to round up the small turtles, realizing that one was dead. The rat looked sad that it couldn't help the small thing and went to place it in the running water; the remaining turtles made more noises that most likely meant 'wake up'.
The lion smiled sadly and then thought about something he had been wondering, he could take the shape of any animal but what good would that do? He could use this small body and make sure the creatures were happy. The lion closed its eyes and soon the turtle's eyes opened. The rat noticed this and placed the little turtle among its bothers. Later, it became clear that they had mutated and soon they had grown as a family. The lion possessed the body of the eldest brother and soon he found that having a family was nice, though it was full of life and noises. The turtle had the color blue and was named Leonardo, but among his brothers he became known as Leo, like the lion's true name but it didn't care. It fell asleep inside the young turtle's heart and was almost like its soul and heart.
The boys started training to become ninjas and had some difficulties in the past; like arguing with each other, fighting, telling each other to back off ...but they solved them in the end and forgot the past fights. The bonds the four of them shared were amazing and sometimes the lion would give some of its energy to the young warrior to help him win fights or protect his family.
What the lion loved the most about the brother he was keeping alive was that he cared for his younger brothers. The nightmares they suffered would disappear from their minds when the oldest brother hugged them or they heard his calm voice. Like the nightmares feared him and left without bothering again but they always went for the youngest, the one named Michelangelo. The lion was happy that the blue masked one would always take care of his youngest brother and it felt the love the eldest had for his younger brothers.
Until the day came, when Mikey found out about the Zodiacs and the lion's exile. But now, when Cobra had got his hands on the lion's sealed form, the zodiac would soon realize that it only meant one thing...
The one called Leonardo...would die. The lion was the very source of the turtle's life, if the lion disappeared the eldest turtle brother would leave his family in pure sorrow. But the lion silently began to plan on how to escape and also free the turtle.
~~Flashback ends~~
Leo slowly opened his eyes and found himself in a cell, and chained to the wall. Leo sighed, not really surprised. The chains were rusty and he knew that Raph had seen him being captured. So, it was only a matter of time before the red clad turtle stood in front of him, asking if he was alive, and how to crack the skull of the one behind the whole thing.
He also knew how worried his father must be, but then his body began fading again, Leo mentally slapped himself, the zodiac wouldn't have him for long as his body began disappearing *Guess the lion is about to give up*
~~Flashback~~
"What's wrong?"
Seven years old Leo turned to see who had spoken to him but found no one but himself in the tunnel, "My little brother is gone..." "Which one?" Leo found the voice very calm and nice so he thought he could tell "His name is Raphael...He sneaks out when no one is looking but I always feel when someone in my family isn't near me so I want to find him."
The lion smiled inside the young boy's heart, he could feel how the young turtle's heart grew slightly at just talking about one of his brothers. Meaning he loved them more than his life "If your brother would ever be in danger, how would you protect him or them?" "I will use my own body and soul to keep them safe...One day they won't need me"
"That is not true, they will always need you. You may fight, but they still love you for being their big brother, Raphael doesn't hate you...He is young and will understand how much you mean to him
=Few years later=
Leo laid on the sofa in the farm house, thinking about the ambush The Shredder had got him in, and almost killed him when the voice spoke up again.
"You are hurt."
"The Shredder attacked me...you were right, Raph do care but he's just to hard shelled to admit." Leo said and smiled at the thought, he had been wrong about Raph and now he felt happy that he was still breathing.
"He battles the emotions even now, he is crying in his room this very moment."
"What?!"
"He is happy that you woke up and are now aware of how much you mean to him, he makes promises like he won't let any of your enemies near you again...or anyone that poses a threat to you. You are his eldest brother and he has grown used to having you around him, making sure that he is fine and he doesn't want to lose that. You understand him better than any one does. Am I correct?"
"Well...when we were younger, we were best friends but when we grew older... we slowly grew apart from each other, he became more angry and I had more things in the family to take care of...I guess I abandon him." Leo thought sadly in his mind, he couldn't risk talking out loud. He still wanted Raph to be his best friend but no matter what he did it made things worse.
"Now he understands, you just need to talk to him like you did when you were both younger."
"Better try it..."
=Few weeks after Mikey find the Lion's legend=
"You're disappearing?" Leo thought while running on patrol.
"I am afraid so...my powers are fading and if I disappear...you will die as well. I am the reason you are still here, you died the day your father found you and your brothers, because of me entering you heart, I saved you from the death's claws. I became what you call 'spirit' and you are pretty much my seal...it is complicated." The lion said sadly.
"Well, I got all night so tell me about it all, and why you chose me in the first place?"
"Hello, Lion sealer."
Leo snapped his head up at the sound of the voice; the man had the eyes of a cobra but the looks of a human. This wasn't going to be pretty, close to the door he found an old 'friend'. "I was starting to wonder where you had gone Stockman. Have you found a new maniac to work for?" Leo said and caused Stockman to jump five feet.
Cobra turned to the dark man. "You know this beast?" Stockman face palmed, this man was truly an idiot, even Michelangelo was smart then him. "Yeah, he and his brothers more or less blew up my lab, and screwed up many of The Shredder's plans and he has been a real pain in many operations with Bishop...and they refuse to be destroyed!"
Leo smirked "Geez, all that? Guess I lost count on all the mess I let my brothers cause, and I was involved in a like...five of them." Cobra turned to the turtle and Leo could see the spark that said 'is that right'. "Shell, I already hate this guy...And Raph will rip him to shreds for taking me."
Cobra smiled. "Oh, but you won't see them...not for a long time." And with that Leo's body exploded in pain as his chains were electrified. Cobra laughed as Leo could no longer hold back his pain full screams, Stockman left the room and got some Foot ninjas to find Mikey.
"Wonder if they'll get him before he's dead" He thought.
Finally!
