Chapter 20

Leo was the first to wake, he couldn't move though because he had three little brothers clinging to him. He smiled fondly at them and yawned loudly, he looked his brothers over and tried to memorize every detail in his brothers young faces. He knew there was the possibility of his brothers being put in a fatal situation but Leo promised himself that no matter what his brothers would not die today while there was still breath in his body, today he would likely die but at least it's for the three people that mean the most to him.

''Leo?'' leo realised he had been staring into space for a long time, he blinked and looked down into the worried faces of his brothers.

''Yeah Raph?'' He asked as he gave them a small smile,

''What were ya thinkin' about?'' Raph asked with a yawn,

''Nothing'' Leo shrugged as his brothers crawled off him and he could finally sit up.

''It musta been something'' Mikey frowned, ''Otherwise you wouldn't have been staring into space for so long''

''It doesn't matter Mikey'' Leo sighed tiredly, ''It's all good''

''You were thinking about today weren't you?'' Don said knowingly, ''You're worried about the final task''

Leo looked at Donnie and an apologetic smile crept up onto his face.

''That obvious huh?'' He asked,

''Well.. You're not exactly hiding it bro'' Mikey chuckled.

''Why are ya worried?'' Raph asked with a smirk, ''We can beat these guys without breaking a sweat! We're ninja!'' Leo frowned for a moment,

''Raphael.. we don't even know what the task is... How are we supposed to know if we can do it without knowing what the risks are?'' Leo asked worriedly, ''This is the FINAL task.. It's not going to be easy.. it's going to drain us mentally and physically''

''Mentally? please! Physically is likely but mentally is not'' Don scoffed,

''I don't know.. I reckon Mikey might be drained mentally'' Raph smirked at the youngest who stuck his tongue out childishly.

''urgh'' Leo grumbled, ''Never mind.. we'll worry about it when we know about it''

''YAY!'' Mikey grinned, ''We stopped fearless from worrying! First time ever!''

''Shut up Mike'' Leo smirked as he punched his brothers shoulder lightly.

The four brothers sat together in a comfortable silence, They took comfort in knowing they were together and that they may be going home soon.

The silence didn't last for long, It was broken by the sound of the door slamming open and four guards rushing in and rushing the turtles out.

They were taken to the arena which was buzzing with excitement, people cheered as they were pushed into the center. Mikey, Raph and Donnie coward back a little at the flashing lights, loud noises and the thousands of eyes staring, None of them were used to having so much attention but Leo wasn't fazed. He stood a little in front of his younger brothers.

''L-Leo?'' Mikey gulped, leo sent him a small reassuring smile.

Another door opened and the other family was brought in, Leo's heart leapt into his throat.

There was one boy that looked about the same age as Leo, Raph and Don with him was a younger boy who looked about a year younger than Mikey.

The older boy was cut up like he had taken all the blows for the youngest, He had messy black hair and soft hazel eyes. Don and Raph imagined that the boy looked like a human version of Leo.

The youngest boy was the same height as Mikey, he had wavy blonde hair and bright baby blue eyes, His cheeks were covered in light freckles. Leo imagined that he looked like a human version of Mikey.

This would be harder than they thought, For them it was like watching their eldest and youngest brothers fail and die.

The two boys walked straight up to the turtles, The older boy stood protectively in front of the younger one.

''I'm Lucas.. This is my little brother, Micheal'' Lucas nodded, Micheal waved shyly.

''Lucas and Micheal?'' Raph asked worriedly, he and Don shared a look. The names sounded like their brothers.

''I'm Leonardo, These are my brothers, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo'' Leo nodded to each.

''But you can call me Mikey'' Mikey smiled,

''Raph''

''Leo''

''Donnie'' Each turtle shortened his name to make it easier. Lucas smiled and nodded while Micheal giggled.

''Dude, you're name sounds like mine'' Micheal grinned at Mikey who grinned back.

''Good luck'' Lucas pulled Micheal away from Mikey.

''Hey!'' Micheal complained, ''I was talking''

''Well you shouldn't be, We need to focus on the task ahead'' Lucas growled before glaring at Mikey and storming away.

''Dude..'' Mikey growled slightly, ''He's a jerk''

''Just ignore them'' Leo assured him, ''Lets just find out what the task is''

''Now, time for the last task! There are two doors, Turtles go through the green one and Yanas must go through the blue door. you will make your way through and I will explain the rest of it once you get there. Good luck!'' The doors opened and the turtles made their way towards them Leo noticed that Lucas was glaring at him.

''What?'' he growled once they reached the doors that were right next to each other.

''You're a monster'' Lucas growled back.

''What? because I'm a mutant?'' Leo asked back angrily, it was only him and Lucas now. the others had went through.

''No. You killed my friend'' Lucas answered angrily,

''Who?''

''Bell'' Lucas spat, ''I made friends with her while I was here, SHE SAVED MY BROTHER WHEN I COULDN'T AND YOU MURDERED HER!''

''B-Bell..'' Leo froze in horror, ''You-''

''You pretend to be guilty but you didn't care!'' Lucas hissed before storming through the door, Leo walked through his.

''LEO!'' Leo looked up to see his brothers running towards him and hug him,

''What happened man?'' Raph asked worriedly, ''You seem a little shaken up''

''It doesn't matter'' Leo said through his teeth. The others exchanged looks before facing the boys in front.

''One of each family step forward'' Micheal was about to but Lucas beat him to it and glared at Leo, Raphael was about to step in but Leo pushed him back and marched in front of Lucas.

''Well, well, well... The murderer is going to make another kill... that is.. if I don't kill him first'' Lucas said loudly, Leo growled at him quietly.

''The others must not join in unless completely nessicery'' The commentator said seriously, ''BUT YOU GET YOUR WEAPONS BACK!''

Leo grinned as a guard handed him his twin katanas, He looked around to see his brother had gotten their weapons too and were currently staring at them. He looked over to see Lucas with a heavy pipe and Micheal with a short chain.

''Glad you have your murder weapons huh?'' Lucas sneered,

''I. Didn't. murder. her.'' Leo growled.

''Whatever''

''BEGIN!'' Leo and Lucas dashed towards each other the metal chinked together and both pushed against the weapons.

''You will die'' Lucas threatened, ''And so will your brothers''

''You see.. I'm not that heartless'' Leo growled back, ''I'll kill you but spare your brother''

Lucas hesitated and Leo took his chance, he kicked the boy in the stomach causing him to fly back. He then ran towards the fallen boy with his sword raised, Lucas looked up and glared at Leo before leaping up and jumping around him to get away from the offending blade.

Leo skidded to a stop and looked at Lucas through the corner of his eye.

''You can't win'' Lucas smirked, ''I'll kill you before you can do any more harm''

''I didn't want to kill her'' leo frowned, ''You on the other hand-'' Leo ducked as the pipe was thrown at his head, Lucas leapt over him and grabbed the pipe in mid air, Leo grabbed his foot and threw him to the ground.

''LUCAS! GET UP!'' Micheal yelped in fear.

Lucas opened his eyes and kicked Leo in the snout, Leo jumped back and jumped up and Lucas' leg swept under him.

''You think a freak like you could beat me?'' lucas laughed bitterly,

''You think I can't beat a piece of gang shit?'' Leo asked with a smirk, Lucas looked at him through narrowed eyes.

''MICHEAL! GET THE FREAKS!'' Lucas yelled, micheal did as he was told and ran towards the other three turtles. Leo spun round to see his brothers laughing at the smaller boy.

Thud

The younger turtles spun round (with the boy in a headlock) to see their leader lying on the floor in a heap.

Lucas had hit him over the head with the pipe.

''LEO!'' Mikey screamed.

Leo opened his eyes, his vision was blurred and his head ached. He got up on his hands and knees, his limbs felt like jelly. He looked up at Lucas who was holding his pipe above his head, ready to deliver the finishing blow that would result in Leo's skull caving in.

''This is for Bell'' Lucas growled before swinging the pipe down. Leo shut his eyes and waited for it all to end.

But nothing happened.

He opened his eyes to see his three little brothers standing over him. Lucas was pushed back, away from Leo.

''Leo are you ok?'' Donnie asked worriedly, leo frowned at him and nodded while rubbing his head.

''You sure bro?'' Raph asked,

''Yeah.. Yeah i'm good'' Leo groaned, Mikey helped him up. Micheal was standing next to Lucas again but he wasn't there for long, Micheal walked up to Leo with a deep frown.

''Can I borrow your sword?'' Micheal asked angrily,

''No'' Leo frowned, ''I'm not giving you something that can kill me or my brothers''

''I'm not gonna kill any of you!'' Micheal growled as he grabbed Leo's hand and the sword before pulling the blade from Leo's grip.

''Hey!'' Leo warned, Micheal walked away and stood in front of Lucas.

''I'm sick of this'' he growled, ''I don't wanna kill anyone.. I don't wanna watch YOU kill anyone and i don't want to see anyone die!'' Micheal had tears streaming down his face. ''Bye brother''

''NO!'' Mikey cried as Micheal plunged the sword into his chest and fell to the ground.

''MICHEAL!'' Lucas screamed as he fell to his knees next to his little brother, ''NO!'' He scooped his brother up and held him close to his chest, he stroked the boys cheek and mumbled softly in his ear.

''Oh my god'' Raph gulped, he looked around to see Mikey bury his face into Don's shoulder. Donnie was trembling violently and Leo was walking towards the two brothers.

''Leo'' Raph warned him but Leo ignored him and went to collect his sword.

''Th-This is your fault'' Lucas sobbed at Leo,

''How did you come up with that?'' Leo asked quietly. Lucas just shrugged,

''Give me your sword'' Lucas croaked,

''But-''

''NOW!'' Lucas leapt up and grabbed the already bloody sword out of Leo's hand but Leo was one step ahead and quickly got it back. ''GIVE IT OVER!''

''No'' Leo shook his head, ''I don't trust you''

Lucas shook his head angrily and ran at Leo, The turtle jumped out the way and Lucas grabbed the blade.

''Don't hold it by the sharp bit!'' Leo growled, Lucas pulled up the blade and pushed his chest against it and it slid through to the other side. Leo stared at the body with wide eyes, he dropped the sword and backed away in fear.

''Dude... wh-why did they do that?'' Mikey asked sadly,

''Micheal wanted to help us and Lucas couldn't handle being with out his brother'' Donnie croaked.

''I-is this gonna happen to me? If my brothers die am I going to go against my honor and end my life?'' Leo mumbled to himself, He could only imagine the pain of losing a brother that you had sworn to protect.

''Leo..'' Leo looked up to see his brothers next to him.

''Do you think that'll ever happen to us?'' Raph asked sadly,

''I will never let it happen'' Leo promised quietly, ''Never''
