The Bond of Brothers
Chapter 9
''LEO! LEO!'' Leo looked up to see Michelangelo rushing in through the lair door, he was bruised and bleeding a little.
''Mikey! What happened?'' Leo grabbed Mikey by the shoulders and looked him over.
''I-I snuck out to see if I could find any leads to where Raph and Donnie are but a bunch of foot ninjas found me!'' Mikey waved his arms around hysterically, Leo noticed a piece of paper in Mike's hand. ''They started beating me up and-''
''Oh my god'' Leo gulped as he pulled Mikey into a hug.
''What?'' Mikey frowned.
''I can't believe I never noticed you sneaking out'' Leo breathed. ''I could've lost you…''
''I'm sorry Leo'' Mikey pushed Leo so he could look into his eyes. ''I'm ok but it really wasn't a bad thing. They gave me this from the Shredder'' Leo took the paper carefully and read it quickly. ''I haven't read it yet, what does it say?''
''It says…'' Leo closed his eyes with a sigh. ''It says Raph's alright but if we don't surrender ourselves Donnie will be killed… We're to go to Foot Headquarters at midnight.''
Mikey began to tremble as tears filled his eyes.
''Wh-What're we gonna do?'' Mike asked quietly. Leo glared at the floor in thought.
''We're gonna go to headquarters… you will stay outside where it's safe and I'll surrender myself'' Leo sighed.
''No!'' Mike gasped. ''You need to let me surrender with you!''
''No. I need you to stay safe. If there's a chance you can get the others out while Shredder's busy with me then you've got to take it'' Leo nodded, ''It's the only way Michelangelo''
Mikey stared at Leo for a moment before sniffing. He bowed his head and tried to stop the tears, his family were all disappearing and he would soon be alone.
''Mikey'' Leo sighed as he pulled his baby brother in for a hug. Mikey shook his head before crying into Leo's neck.
''Don't leave me… Please'' He begged. ''I don't wanna be alone''
''You won't be… You'll get Raph and Donnie out'' Leo reasoned.
''What if I don't? I'll be all alone''
''I want you safe little brother'' Leo breathed. ''I don't want to see you at the mercy of the Shredder, I don't think I could stand seeing you in a cage or being tortured''
''I'm strong enough Leo'' Mikey argued, ''I want to help. I want us to be together''
''I know'' Leo looked up at the clock before sighing. ''It's quarter to 12… we'd better get going''
Mikey nodded. They each grabbed their weapons and ran out the lair to get their brothers back.
They arrived on top on the foot building and Leo turned to Mikey.
''Ok.. I need you to hide'' He warned. ''If any foot ninja come up here don't let them see you. If they find you...'' Leo grimaced, ''you must run. Run away as fast as you can and hide again. Do you understand?''
''Hai'' Mikey nodded worriedly.
''This is it'' Leo put his arms around Mikey. ''Goodbye little brother… I'm gonna miss you''
''I'll miss you too Leo'' Mikey took a deep breath so he wouldn't cry. ''I love you''
''Love you too'' Leo pulled away and nodded before disappearing down into the Foot's hideout. Mikey disappeared into a hiding spot instantly.
Both brothers were filled with fear for one another yet neither feared for themselves.
