TMNT

Possibility # 3, they both die! Please. Try not to cry. Though, that is my goal, so be warned. Hey, think about it, one more chapter until you learn the true possibility. I just wanted you guys to know what would happen. But, the thing is, I was going to consider letting them both live, but the other chapters seem really good. I guess we'll both learn the truth next chapter. Oh, forgot to ask, when this is done, I think I should make a sequel. What do y'all think?

Anyway, enough of me going on, here's the story.

Splinter's POV

The only thing that allowed me to know Donatello was alive was his heart monitor. He looked as if he was dead, but the heart monitor said otherwise. Michelangelo was no better. Oh, my dear sons. I know they won't survive, but I don't have the heart to share the news with their older brothers, who wanted so bad to have them wake up.

" Hang in there you two. You're safe, your big brothers are here, everything is going to be alright.", Raphael says, as he puts a blanket on Donatello, then one on Michelangelo. I know how hurt my two oldest sons are. I know that they blame themselves for not making it on time.

" R-Raphie..?", Donatello opens his eyes a bit. Raphael, Leonardo, and I rush to his aid. He was alive! He's alive, for now. How much longer do I have with him? Michelangelo's heart monitor goes flat.

" MIKEY!", Raphael screams at the top of his lungs. Donatello has tears rolling down his face, but he turned to me.

" He's waiting on me, Father, you know that. I wanted to say goodbye. I am so sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen. Leo, Raph.", Donatello catches the attention of his older brothers. Before either one of them could say anything, Donatello spoke up." I have to go now. Mikey's waiting on me. I just wanted to say don't blame yourselves. You didn't know this was going to happen. And, I love you all. Mikey says he loves you guys, but neither me or him can stay. S-sorry, big brothers...", Donatello's heart monitor goes off. The beep of both his and Michelangelo's is he only thing that put any sound in the room, everything happened so fast, no one had the chance to process anything. Finally, Raphael spoke up.

" Please, tell me this is some nightmare! This can't be happening. Donnie and Mikey have to be alright! They just have to!", Raphael pleads to the skies, begging them to give him back his little brothers. His only two little brothers . He screams to the heavens, tears rolling freely down his face. " Give them back! I need my baby brothers! Give them back to me!"

" Raph, that's going to make everything worse. Donnie and Mikey are dead. We... we didn't get there in time.", we all stood there, crying for a few minutes. Raphael screamed in anger, and ran off. He mumbled something about going Topside.

Raph's POV

I ran off, before anyone could react. Casey was in the door way, with April, but I pushed them aside, ignoring their questions. I wanted to yell at April. I considered her a friend, but I was always angry with her. She caused Donnie so much pain. I hated seeing him hurting. I tried to talk to him once, when April told him she never wanted to see him again, but he shut me, Leo, and even Mikey out. He stayed in his lab, ignoring us all. I know he just didn't want us to see him hurt, but we all knew it. And, it ticked me off.

I run Topside, and go to a rooftop. I kick and stab everything, trying my absolute best not to cry. It failed, tears completely soak my face. Memories of Donnie and Mikey flow through my mind. Donnie's nightmare... them getting into trouble to save me...

'' R-Raphie...'', I remember Donnie sneaking in my room, in the dead of night. We were about 5. I opened my eyes, rather annoyed.

'' What?'', I snapped.

'' I... I need my big brother...'', it wasn't often Donnie came to me, crying. I jumped up by that, and looked at my little brother.

'' What's wrong?'', I asked, pulling him into a hug.

'' In my dreams, for the past week, this guy keeps chasing me. I'm trying to find Mikey. I can never find him. At the end, he'll lift me up, and you and Leo come... You two... d-died... then, I wake up as he goes to kill me.'', Donnie clung to me as if I was his life line.

'' It's alright, your big brother is here. Nothing's going to happen to you. Nothing. You know I won't let anyone take you away from me.'', I told him.

'' Pr-promise?'', I've never seen him act like this. Never. But then again, he was only 5, so watching your two older brothers die and not being able to find your little brother is terrifying. It still would terrify him...

'' I promise. I promise to protect you with my life. Because, that's what big brothers do. They protect their little brothers.'', I promised.

'' But... I thought you didn't care about me.'', the moment he said that, I felt something stab my heart. Donnie honestly thought I didn't care about him. How could he not? Him and the others are everything to me.

'' How? Why? Donnie, I love you, baby bro. I may be mad you, but I'd never hate you.''

'' Raph, where are you going?'', Mikey asked me, as I was about it walk out the door. I was done with Leo, trying to control me. I refused to believe I had bad enough anger issues to get my brothers in danger. Man, was I wrong.

'' I'm out of here, Mike.'', I snapped. Leo watched us, and he seemed he didn't care even though he knew I didn't plan on coming back home. Donnie looked at me.

'' Well, when will you be back?'', he asked.

'' I... guys... I...'', I didn't know how to tell them I wasn't. Instead, I walked out the door. If I had enough common sense, I would have known that Mikey and Donnie followed me.

Anyway, I went to a rooftop to cool off, and decide whether or not I should go back home or not. I knew Leo might start to worry about me getting ambushed and killed, so he might go looking for me. Donnie and Mikey would worry about me until I got home, and I hate worrying them. But, if I go back, I'd have to face Leo, and I seriously don't want to.

My thoughts were cut off by a scream. I knew that voice anywhere. I remember my eyes widening, and suddenly, I was the fastest thing on the earth. Mikey. Another scream followed. Donnie.

I ran to find my little brothers. I found them in an alley way, Dogpound had Mikey by the throat. Fishface had Donnie knocked out, and had a knife in his hand, and went to kill him. I will never be able to forget the fear I felt at that exact moment.

I jumped straight off the rooftop, bringing out my sais, and I started to yell. But, instead of mostly feeling anger, I felt fear. I thought I was about to lose Donnie and Mikey.

'' IF YOU'RE GOING TO FIGHT SOMEONE, FIGHT ME! I'M NOT AFRAID OF YOU!'', I snapped. Fishface turned at me, and smiled. He hated me the most. He was only hurting Donnie because he knew that if I was near, and I heard Donnie's screams, I'd come. Same with Mikey. Both of them knew that, which meant Shredder knew.

'' Hello, Raphael, so nice you could join us. You came just in time to see me kill your brother. Dogpound insisted on taking out the small one out. Foot Ninjas, capture the red banded turtle!'', Fishface ordered. I forgot what happened after that. Everything went black. Then, I saw Donnie and Mikey, laying on the ground. Besides at TCRI, I've never seen so much blood...

'' DONNIE! MIKEY!'', I ran over to them, and saw Mikey somewhat awake.

'' H-hey, w-we found you...'', he tried to crack a smile, but failed. ' Found me?' Meaning, they were looking for me?

'' Why did you come looking for me?'', I asked, as I help him to his feet. He could stand, but I have to carry Donnie. He wouldn't wake up.

'' Because you weren't going to come home... we... didn't want you to go... Leo's still mad...'', Mikey explained. I sigh.

'' Next time I leave, don't follow me. I may say I won't come back, but, Mikey, I promise, I always will.'', I told him.

After a few days, Donnie woke up and was fine. I couldn't forgive myself that easily, though. I could have caused both my baby brothers to die. And, now, they are gone.

What am I going to do? How will I live with the fact I had two little brothers that I caused to be killed? If only I had only came in time. They would both be here. But, they got stuck with a horrible older brother that caused them to die. I don't know how I'm going to go home. I can't face Leo. He's just as bad as I am.

I stare at the edge of the rooftop, determining whether I truly want to live or not. Leo hated me anyway. And, Master Splinter has Leo. I'm not needed. And, without Mikey and Donnie, I have no true reason to continue life.

Leo's POV

Why? I always thought the oldest brother was suppose to die first. But, no. Not in this family. But, guess who is to blame for the two youngest brothers' deaths? The oldest brother. I was the one who gave them the orders. I should have thought about all the possibilities. But, I was careless. As a punishment, I just tore my family apart. I caused pain to the only ones I love. My family. The one I've sworn to protect. I failed them. And, this time, it isn't a nightmare I can just wake up from. It isn't going to work that way. Donnie and Mikey are dead. So, what's even the point anymore.

'' I thought you loved us?'', I suddenly hear Mikey's voice ring in my mind.

'' Leo, we needed help. We needed your help.'', Donnie's voice.

'' And you weren't there...'', Mikey's voice finishes his statement. All I can see is some kind of nightmare. But, it actually happened.

Mikey was in front of Donnie, and they were both on the ground, in some kind of lab. Mikey had an electric collar on him, and it was activated. Donnie was trying to put plastic right were the electricity flows, and was electrocuted himself. He still had a death grip on it, determined to save Mikey.

'' Donnie, stop! You're h-hurt!'', Mikey was trying to pull Donnie away, but Donnie wasn't going to let Mikey get hurt. He was such a good older brother...

Then, something that made me scream out and cry, was a Kraang Droid came with a gun. As he pulled the trigger, Donnie pushed Mikey right out of the way, taking the shot himself. He fell to his back, and it seemed like he died at that moment. Mikey let out a cry in terror. Then, a Kraang Droid put the gun to his head. This time, Donnie isn't there to help.

'' NO!'', I cry, tears rolling down my cheeks. The scene disappears. My knees suddenly felt weak. I fall down, and cry. They're gone. My baby brothers. I loved them so much.

I slowly get up, and take out my katana. It meant honor. But, right now, it means nothing to me. Nothing means anything to me right now. Not without them. I stare at the katana. I could end it all right now. Let this pain end for me. But, who would be there for Raph? Doesn't he need me? No, he hates me. I know he does. He's going to blame me for Donnie and Mikey's deaths. He'll be there for Master Splinter. I'm not needed.

So, the real question is, do I truly want to live with the failure of losing Donnie and Mikey. What do I do? I want to die, so I guess... Donnie and Mikey might be seeing me with them... very soon.

April's POV

Donnie and Mikey dead? No... this isn't real. It is...

I already miss them. I want Donnie to hold me one more time. I want to feel his arms wrap around me, knowing I'm protected.

I slowly look over at Casey, as Master Splinter explains what happened. Splinter made us leave while he works, so we left. I didn't think it would...

'' D-Donnie... Mikey...'', I try to collect myself for the moment. '' I'm terribly sorry for your lose, Master Splinter. I'm sorry, but I must go. I... I need some time to think.''

I storm off. Mikey meant everything to Donnie. I know he did everything he could to protect his little brother. I believe that's why he died. Protecting everything that wanted to make him live. And, Mikey loves Donnie more than anything. I know that. Why, I remember him going on about no more than 2 weeks ago...

'' April, can I talk to you?'', Mikey asked me, as I walked in the lair. I smiled at him.

'' Of course, Mikey.'', I replied. Mikey let out a small sigh.

'' I know I'm not the serious one, so don't mention this to anyone. I don't want to worry my brothers. Look, I'm just letting you know, Donnie is a nice guy. He means a lot to me and my brothers. Mostly me. April, he's my best friend. I don't want to see him hurting. When you were ignoring us, he shut himself in his lab, and ignored all of his family. He ignored me. He never ignores me. And, it really hurt. It hurt him more. Please, Donnie means everything to me. He's my best friend, ya know? I hate seeing him hurting. Just, try not to hurt him. Please.'', I couldn't even respond before he walked away. I was so shocked about Mikey of all turtles saying that. Raph would of had a bit more threats, Leo would of talked to me about it saying he doesn't want to see his little brother hurt. But, Mikey? I couldn't even of imagined him saying anything about it.

Oh, those two were so close. They loved each other so much. They never deserved anything like this. Mikey was so innocent. The other guys let the cruel world above destroy them from the inside, but not Mikey. He always looked at the bright side of things. He made Donnie so happy. Yes, he would mess up his inventions, but he couldn't let anything tear their brotherhood apart. I remember Donnie coming home so injured, but not minding because Mikey wasn't hurt.

The question is... who's going to save Leo and Raph from themselves? What will they do without their little brothers to keep them going? Oh, I hope the answer isn't as dreadful as I think. Please, I can't lose all of them. I don't think Master Splinter has the heart to lose any more loved ones...

Casey's POV

Dang it... why on earth did it have to be Donnie and Mikey. What did those two ever do to deserve death!? Nothing. Yes, Donnie got on my last nerve, but after I learned just how much he works to keep his brothers safe, I kinda started to have some respect for him. I mean, I've seen Donnie jump in front of a blaster, trying to save Mikey. He may be a nerd, but I'll admit, he's brave. Who else do you know that would risk his neck t o save his little brother. He hates me, but he saved me once... while saving Mikey...

'' Jones, move! Are you trying to get shot!?'', I remember him snapping at me, as a building was crumbling under our heads. I was fighting off a Ninja, when I heard something crack right above me. Before I had the chance to react, the roof above broke, and I was too shocked to move. I felt someone push me out of the way, and I heard a thud beside me. When I opened my eyes, I saw that Donnie got me out of there.

'' W-why did you help me?'', I asked him, as he helped me to my feet.

'' Why wouldn't I? You were going to be killed.'', Donnie said. I was shocked for a moment, but a scream snapped me out of the trance. Mikey. We both turned around, and saw that several Ninjas surrounded Mikey. Leo and Raph were too busy fighting to reach him. I went to move, but Donnie jumped in the center of the fight. I was shocked once again, wondering why Donnie didn't think much through, considering he thinks everything over, and literally used himself as a shield to protect Mikey. But, that's when I saw it. Mikey couldn't move. He was trapped. The Ninjas must have taken this to their advantage. We wouldn't of had time to get Mikey out of there with all of the katanas and sais that literally surrounded him. Donnie must of known that and blocked Mikey from the hits.

I growled in anger. I had to help the two. I ran with my hockey stick, hitting every Ninja there was. Raph and Leo came, and they were ticked. That's what happens when you mess with their baby brothers. Leo sliced most of the ninjas that went near Donnie and Mikey, and Raph mostly stabbed them in the gut. They usually don't act this brutal, but if they didn't, the ninjas would get back up, and kill Mikey or Donnie, or both of them. And, I highly doubt they would let that happen.

Donnie didn't move a muscle. He covered Mikey, completely. I couldn't even see Mikey, besides a small part of his shell. And, Donnie had what his body couldn't cover, in his arms. No one could reach Mikey.

Within seconds, every ninja, besides the turtles, of course, were taken down. I went to take Donnie's shoulder, but I saw the moment the last ninja fell, so did Donnie. Right in his shoulder blade, was a sai, and his face, right near and a bit on his right eye, was bloody.

'' D-Donnie...'', Mikey looks up, and saw Donnie fall to the ground. I then noticed it wasn't on Donnie's shoulder blade, the sai was an inch from his heart. He must of thought it would of been okay to get up and fight, but got cut in the face and stabbed when he got up. I look around, and find his bo staff inches from them, and near it, a fallen Foot Ninja. He must of went to hurt Mikey while Donnie was blind for the moment, but Donnie took him down and covered Mikey up, but not before Mikey was stabbed as well, his leg was trapped in a few rocks, so that's why he couldn't escape.

'' Mikey... Mikey...'', Donnie repeated as he drifted to sleep. He was losing so much blood.

'' For the sake of Mikey, Donnie, don't go to sleep!'', I cried. I didn't know what to do. Mikey had a huge cut right by his left eye. He couldn't go to sleep either.

'' I'll stay awake if you so will I. That way, we'll both live, D.'', I knew what Mikey was doing. He was using his well being against Donnie. I'd have to admit, that was pretty smart of him. Because, it worked.

Within an hour, we were all in the lair, April and Splinter working on Donnie and Mikey. They turned out to be just fine. But, man, Donnie had Mikey in his arms the rest of the night. I guess it freaked him out. Who could blame him?

Donnie, I'm sorry. I wish you could have stayed. I want you to know, April never liked me the way she liked you. You deserve her. Not me. If you were alive, I'd tell you that.

Mikey, I don't really know ya, but I'm going to miss you. I can't believe you and Donnie are gone. At least you two have each other, though, right? I mean, that's the way you would of wanted it in the end, to be by Donnie.

Guess who's back and better than ever! I have a laptop now! I'm back! And, I can work more now! Sorry for the long absence, I've been mega busy. But, I'm back!
