(Miwa: 18
Leo and Raph:15
Donnie:14
Mikey: 6)
"Wait where are you guys going again?" Raph asked his mother, father, and sister.
"We're going to check out some colleges in Augusta. We'll be back soon...ish." Miwa replied.
"The latest we'll be back is friday." Shen added. "Remember Leo is in charge, behave and don't get into trouble. Bye love you." And with that Yoshi, Shen and Miwa left.
About a half hour they where done, Raph smirked and got off the couch. He grabbed his coat and headed towards the door.
"Where do you think you're going?" Leo asked from behind him. Raph turned around to face his twin.
"To hang out with my friends." Raph said to Leo.
"Are you kidding?! You're grounded, Raph! You can't go." Leo crossed his arms while he spoke.
"You're not in charge of me. When Mom left you in charge, she meant Mikey and Donnie. I can take care of myself." Raph argued.
Leo frowned. "No Raph I'm also in charge of you. Plus you and your friends always stay out late on weekends and knowing you and them you'll be up late tonight. We have school tomorrow and Mom and Dad will kill you if you break your grounded." Raph rolled his eyes.
"And how will they find out?" Raph asked a dumb question.
Leo grabbed the house phone and held it up. "This is how."
"Don't you dare, Leo!" Raph yelled.
"Okay if you can reach it I won't tell." Leo smirked to himself. He was taller than Raph by at least an inch so he wouldn't be able to reach. He held the phone as high as he could and watched as Raph struggled to get it. After 5 minutes of trying, Raph backed up and rammed Leo in the gut. Leo fell back and dropped the phone. Moments later Leo and Rap where fighting on the floor. Only to be stopped by a fire alarm. Leo pushed Raph off and ran to the kitchen. They had completely forgot about their pizza cooking and it was burnt to a crisp.
"Great now it's not even eatable." Leo complained. Raph followed and grabbed the closest thing to him, an apple. He threw the apple at the fire alarm and it fell to the ground. Donnie stood in the doorway and starred at the fire alarm on the ground and the burnt pizza.
"Yeah I'm just going to order a pizza." Donnie said dialing the pizza place's number on the house phone. Leo and Raph looked at each other than jumped on Donnie trying to get the phone away from him. Donnie fell and soon his brothers where fighting on top of him.
Raph continued fighting with Leo, unaware of what he and Leo did by mistake. "Guys!" Donnie yelled. Leo and Raph got off of Donnie and helped him back up. Donnie starred at them angrily behind his half broken glass.
"You broke my glasses! The left lens is totally broken!" Donnie yelled again. "I'm going to go get my spare." Donnie said before walking upstairs taking the phone with him. Although Donnie ran into a chair, twice on his way up. Leo and Raph glared at each other.
"This is your fault!" Both yelled to each other at the same time.
"No it's both your faults, I can't believe Mom left you in charge, Leo. Your lucky I'm not going to tell her or Dad." Donnie said coming back into the kitchen with not broken glasses and Mikey trailing behind with the phone.
"Yeah Donnie's not gunna tell but both of you to your room!" Mikey yelled and giggling after.
"Mikey, I'm in charge not you." Leo said annoyed to his little brother.
"NOW! NOW! NOW!" Mikey shouted loud enough to make the building shake. Leo and Raph ran to their room. Mikey and Donnie laughed as soon as the two left.
The next day the four boys had to go to school. It was now third period aka Leo's geography class. It wasn't Leo's worst class but it was really boring. The bell rang for class to start and everyone was in their seats. The teacher walked through the door with a girl Leo hadn't seen. The teacher, Mr. Shoe (best name ever right?) pointed at the seat next to Leonardo, which was the only one open in the room.
The teenage girl walked to her seat and introduced her self to Leo.
"Hi, I'm Lotus Blossom." She said. She had long black hair and brown eyes. To Leo, she was really pretty.
"I'm Leonardo Hamato, but you can call me Leo." Leo told Lotus. She smiled and Mr. Shoe started talking.
After the lesson the teacher told his students what they would be doing next. "Alright class, I'm am going to put you into pairs and you will work together to create a project. You will get a state and you must make a poster board. On it you must put 20 facts about economic activities. It is due on Wednesday and I will not be giving you class time. Already then, Leo your with Lotus and your state is Louisiana." Mr. Shoe said then paired up the rest of the class and gave them their states.
"Well we have two days to get this done. Should we meet up at your house or mine?" Lotus asked.
"We should meet at mine, I'll give you the address and when you get there we can go get what we need." Leo explained writing his address down.
"Don't you have stuff?" She asked.
"No, my brother used up all the glue and we don't have any poster board."
"Oh okay then. I'll come around 5." The bell rung and Leo handed Lotus the address.
"Guys, what are you doing tonight?" Leo asked his brothers when they got home.
"April's coming over and we're working on our tech. ed." Donnie told his older brother.
"I'm doing L.A. crap." Raph said.
"You promised to help you with jump roping because I keep falling." Mikey reminded Leo.
"Shoot, sorry Mikey. My partner for geography is coming over so we can work on our project. Tomorrow I swear." Leo promised. Mikey nodded. The door bell rang and Leo opened it. Instead of it being Lotus like he thought, it was April. Donnie had her over a lot, so April and Leo knew each other fairly well.
"Hi Leo, is Donnie here?" The red hair asked.
"Yeah he's inside. Come on in." Leo told her. April walked in and she and Donnie dumped a bunch of stuff on the table. The two began talking and building who knows what.
Soon the door bell rang again, and sure enough it was Lotus. Leo lead Lotus inside.
"You stay here. I just have to get some stuff my room." Leo told her then ran off to his room. Lotus walked to the living room where Mikey watched cartoons and Raph did his homework.
Raph looked up and looked at her. "So you must be Leo's geography partner."
"Yes and my name is Lotus." She snapped back. She looked at the cartoon Mikey was watching. "What on earth are you watching?"
"The Misadventures of Flapjack." Mikey said not taking his eyes off the screen.
"Wow." She turned to Raph. "I'm sorry your brother is dumb enough to watch this."
"Hey!" Mikey yelled at her insulted.
Lotus ignored him and walked to the table to where Donnie and April where working on their project.
April handed Donnie the screwdriver and he tightened the last screw of their project. The project was to create a small motor for a boat race. The teacher was going to attach the motor to a popsicle stick raft and see how fast you could get to the other side.
"Yes! There, it's done." Donnie exclaimed. It was on the table when Lotus walked over.
"Hey nice thing. Oops." Lotus said before knocking the small motor off the table crushing it.
Donnie and April starred at their broken project that took two days to design and three days to construct. It didn't help that the project was due tomorrow. Lucky for them it only disconnected the pieces and screws so it would be easy to fix. Donnie reached down to pick them up but was stopped by Lotus's boot crushing the pieces and motor.
Lotus smirked as April glared at her. April was full on ready to yell at the older girl when Leo came back out.
"Alright Lotus, let's go." Leo said as he walked in.
"No. You and her are going to fix our project. Because SHE broke it." April almost yelled at Leo and Lotus pointing at Lotus the whole time.
"What? No I didn't. She's lying, Leo." Lotus said looking as innocent as possible.
"Look April, we have to worry about our own project so I'll talk to you more when we come back. We're going to the store to get glue and poster board. We'll be back in 20 minutes." Leo explained then he and Lotus left. April groaned in frustration and she and Donnie went back to fixing their project. Hopefully they would be able to fix it in time.
Raph finished his homework and looked at the TV.
"Hey Raph, wanna play Smash Bros.?" Mikey asked.
"Sure, hand me a controller." Raph replied. Mikey walked over to get the controllers. Before he could get to it he sneezed into his hands.
"1. Bless you and 2. Gross, go wash your hands." Raph told his little brother. Mikey walked off to the bathroom to wash his hands like Raph had told him to.
Raph waited a minute for Mikey to come back out. Suddenly, he heard glass break and a loud scream to follow it. Donnie and April looked up from their project and at Raph. Raph looked at the TV to make sure it wasn't the show that was playing but it wasn't.
"What was that?" April asked.
"I don't know. Mikey! Are you okay?!" Raph yelled. They all waited for a response but nothing came.
"Raph, maybe you should go check on him." Donnie suggested. Raph nodded and walked to the bathroom. He looked inside and saw the broken window but no Michelangelo.
"Mikey? Mikey?" Raph called looking around the bathroom. He looked out the window and saw nothing. He turned around then everything went black.
Donnie and April waited for a few minutes. Raph had not yet come out and they where getting worried. They heard the sound of foot steps and they figured it was Raph.
"Raph? Is that you? Did you find Mikey?" Donnie asked to what he thought was his brother. No reply came.
Donnie saw a shadow and it was easily recognizable. He grabbed April's hand and ran to his room. He slammed the door shut and locked it.
"Donnie, what's going on?" April asked very confused.
"No time for explaining. Hide!" Donnie whispered to her then ran into his closet pulling April with him. He moved a bin of clothes and grabbed the staff that was hidden behind it.
Donnie told April to stay hidden in his closet while he hide else where. He ran out of the closet, shutting the door behind him and hide behind his desk keeping his bo staff close at hand.
April sat confused in the closet until she heard banging coming from the door. It stopped for a moment before a loud crash sound came followed by the sound of things get crushed, destroyed and knocked over. She peeked out the door and saw a knocked out Donatello being picked up by some guy in a weird ninja costume with many others in the room as well.
"Donnie!" She shouted then clapped her hand over her mouth realizing what she had done. The ninja's walked towards the closet and opened the door. April hide under some of Donnie's clothes. The ninja's threw everything out until they found April. They brought her out and held her arms so she couldn't escape. She got scared as she looked at them and they at her. One brought out a picture then looked at April then the picture. He looked back and forth before shaking his head. One of the other ninja's got out a staff and hit April upside the head, knocking her out.
Leo and Lotus walked down the street before Lotus's phone went off. She looked at the text she had gotten and did her best to hid a smirk.
"Well, my dad says I have to go home now but we can work more tomorrow. Bye." She said giving the bags to Leo then running off.
Leo was left confused but continued walking to his house. He entered and called to his brothers.
"Guys, I'm back!" He called but no reply came. He looked into the living room. No brothers. The kitchen, no brothers. He walked to the hall where the bed rooms where and checked there. No one in Mikey's room or Raph's. He looked into Donnie's room only to see it was completely destroyed and an unconscious teenage girl laying on the floor.
Leo gasped and ran over to April. He picked April up and brought her out of the destroyed room. He set her on the couch and continued looking for his brothers. It was another half hour before April woke up and Leo found no sign of his brothers.
April remembered what happened and almost started freaking out. "Oh god! Oh god!" She yelled running back to Donnie's room. Leo followed confused, to be honest he was starting to think she was crazy.
"April, what's wrong? Where are my brothers?" Leo asked.
"Don't call me crazy but I think they where kidnapped by ninja's with bug eyes." April told Leo.
"You're saying the Foot captured half my family while the other half is in another state? Well that's great." Leo said sarcastically before going to the Hamato's basement/dojo. April followed asking questions.
"Who are the Foot? Why do they want your brothers?"
"It's a long story I don't have time to explain." Leo said simply getting his katana's out of the weapon closet.
"That's what Donnie said. Why won't you tell me what's going on?" April asked getting mad.
"Fine, the Foot are run by a pycho called Shredder. Shredder has a personal vendetta my dad. So he wants to kill me, my brothers, my sister, and my dad." Leo explained fastening his belt. He got Raph's sais out as well and put them in his belt.
"Wow, that's cruel. Where do you think they took them?"
"No clue but I have to find them. April, you should probably head back to your house." Leo told her getting out a bo staff and putting next to his seathed katana's on his back.
April nodded and realized something. "Okay but before I, go they broke in through the bathroom window. Maybe you could find something there that would say where they took your siblings."
"Really? Thanks." He thanked her then ran to the up stairs bathroom. He looked through the room and saw a cell phone on the ground. He carefully picked it up avoiding the broken glass. Leo looked through the messages until he found a conversation that would lead him to his siblings. The texts where sent to a person named Blossom. Leo thought it was strange but read the messages.
Blossom: You got them yet?!
Ninja: No, where do we take them again?
Blossom: The ware house on 123 st. The one with the skylight.
Ninja: Okay.
Ninja: Got them taking them to the ware house now.
Blossom: Good I'll be there in ten minutes.
Leo shoved the phone in his pocket and took off to the roofs. He ran to the warehouse as fast as he could and looked down into the room. All three of his brothers where tied up on the floor and gagged with dirty cloths. Leo looked to see if Shredder was there and luckily he wasn't. All there was, was 10 ninja. Leo opened the window and listened in on what they where saying.
Another ninja wearing different clothing then the rest entered. Leo noticed this one was a girl. Her long black hair was pulled back into a high pony tail. A cloth mask covered her nose and mouth and she had metal armor unlike the others.
Finally she spoke. "Alright, I see you have three and I know you don't have Leonardo but where are the other three?! There's supposed to be a daughter, father, and mother ya know?!" She yelled at them. Leo recognized the voice and was completely shocked. The girl was Lotus.
"Those three where the only ones there. We do not know where the others are." One Foot informed her. She crossed her arms and walked over to the three brothers.
"You where's your sister and parents?" She asked after kneeling down and pulling the cloth out of Raph's mouth.
"I don't have to tell you anything." Raph told her. Lotus frowned beneath her mask and pulled the cloth back over his mouth.
"Fine, maybe your brothers will tell me." She said walking to Donnie. She did the same to him and got the same result.
Leo decided to head down so carefully he open the window further and jumped in. He grabbed onto the shafts (I think that's what there called) and climbed across them to right above his brothers.
Lotus had gotten the same result from all three brothers. She was ticked so she walked over to the Foot and started explaining her plan. The Foot stood there listening to every word unaware of Leo.
Leo jumped down from the shafts and in front of Mikey who was facing away from the Foot. Mikey tried talk but he still had the gag on. Leo motioned for Mikey to be quiet and pulled out a kunai. He cut Mikey's ropes off with it. Once Mikey was free, he pulled the gag off his mouth and smiled at Leo. Leo smiled back and turned to Donnie. Donnie still hadn't noticed Leo but once his roped where cut off he saw him. He pulled the gag off his face as Leo handed him his staff. Leo did the same to Raph handing him his sais.
Lotus finished telling the Foot her plan and turned around to Raph, Donnie, and Mikey. Instead of seeing what she thought she would. She saw all four Hamato sons, three armed with weapons.
"Charge!" She yelled at the ninja's pointing at the four. The Foot did as Lotus told with weapons drawn. Lotus also drew her wakizashi sword.
Raph and Donnie charged at the ten ninjas. Raph used his sias to send one Foot flying into another. Donnie hit two ninja's in the head and another in the chest. While Donnie and Raph where fighting the Foot, Leo made his way around and to Lotus. Lotus and Leo glared for a minute before actually charging at each other. Leo kicked his female opponent in the stomach but she dodged and kicked him back. Lotus sent her sword flying at Leo's head. He ducked and tried to punch her in the face. She stopped his hand then swept her leg at Leo's making him trip. Once Lotus saw he was down, she took her sword and went for his neck. Leo, luckily, reacted fast enough, and used a katana to block it. She still held her sword there so the two blades where against each other.
Mikey watched the whole from behind some crates. He knew Leo needed help but he couldn't run up and help his big brother. He looked around to find a long chain. Mikey picked up the long chain up. Suddenly an idea hit him. Mikey threw an end of the chain at Lotus's foot, rapping it around her ankle. The 6 year old may not have been strong enough to throw her across the room but he was strong enough to take away her upper hand. Mikey pulled the chain hard causing her to fall.
Lotus fell giving Leo the chance to get up. Leo looked at the crates where his little brother was hiding behind and motioned a thank you. Mikey replied with a thumbs up and hide behind the crate again.
Lotus took the chain off her ankle and looked to the Foot. All of them where on the ground, unconscious. Raph along with Donnie where now by Leo. She stood up and glared at the said nothing as she threw three smoke bombs on the floor which allowed her to escape.
The three oldest Hamato boys started coughing at all the smoke in the room. As soon as the fog cleared, all there was on the ground was a flower. To be specific, it was a Lotus Blossom. Leo picked it up and put it in his belt.
"Let's go. Mikey come on." Leo said to his brothers. Donnie and Raph nodded as Mikey ran over to his siblings. The four walked out the front door and started back for their home.
By the time they got back it was 10 P.M. and Mikey had to be carried by Raph due to it was 2 hours past the time he usually went to bed. Raph took Mikey to his bed then went back to the living room.
"Feel free to sleep in tomorrow guys, we're not going to school until noon." Leo told his two awake brothers.
"Why noon?" Donnie asked.
"I have geography in the morning and I am not going to that class until I know for sure Lotus is gone." Leo explained. Raph and Donnie nodded then the three went to bed.
Shen, Yoshi and Miwa came back on Wednesday and the four explained the whole thing. They all became more alert and careful of who they where with.
Although he wish he could, Leo cold not forget Lotus.
