Chapter Twenty-Five
Explosion
Meanwhile, Raphael and Mona had returned from another night out, they had been motorcycling through New York before stopping at Central Park. They then motorcycled back and had arrived back at the lair to find Michelangelo on the sofa playing a video game (Surprise, Surprise) and Donatello was in his medical/lab.
They couldn't see Leonardo anywhere so they guessed he was in his room.
"Whoa Raphael you are adventurous!" laughed Mona with a flirtatious tone as she trailed a finger over his plastron, "as well as naughty!"
"You're no angel yourself bad girl" said Raphael pinching Mona's buttocks through her hot pants and loincloth making her giggle.
"We should do that again" said Mona "that was so exciting!"
Raphael gave her a wicked smirk, "sex in Central Park by twilight" he said "we'll do it again for sure!"
Mona kissed Raphael's cheek "I love you Raph" she said nuzzling him
"And I love you Mona" said Raphael.
Mona kissed Raphael again and went into the kitchen whilst Raphael went to the middle of the lair to punch on his punch bag. As he did, he saw Leonardo in the middle of the lair doing his sword play.
"Hey Leonardo" he said. Leonardo stopped doing his swordplay and looked at his younger brother, hate filling his heart.
"Hey Raph" he said in a quiet voice. Looking at Raphael he couldn't control the hate and anger that was building up in his heart and soul. He gripped his swords and took a few deep breaths trying to resist from lunging at Raphael.
"Mona and I had a good ride through the city" said Raphael.
Leonardo felt his heart beat faster with heartbreak and anger; just hearing how Raphael and Mona spent their time together shattered his heart.
"That's good" he said "At least you didn't put her in any danger!"
"I made sure she was safe!" said Raphael "she's my mate, my lover, I'd do anything to keep her safe"
"Yeah right" thought Leonardo "I could have done a better job! First one being she wouldn't be riding that death machine!"
"I can see you're sword fighting" said Raphael "You want a sparring partner"
"Sure" said Leonardo "why not?"
Raphael stood before Leonardo and bowed before him, Leonardo bowed back.
Then Raphael took out his sai and got ready to fight. The two turtles stared each other down then went for each other.
At first they fought as they would in sparring matches, clashing their blades together and ducking and dodging their opponent's moves.
As they fought, Leonardo studied his brother and he felt the anger and hate get stronger.
"He must pay for what he did..." he heard the voice in his head, only this time, he wasn't hearing Mashimi's voice, it was his own! "He must pay for taking Mona from you, if it wasn't for him getting in the way, Mona could have been yours!"
Leonardo felt his heart beat harder and his soul burn "Yes..." he whispered under his breath as he felt the anger getting greater and stronger within him.
The anger was so strong within him. Just looking at his brother, Leonardo didn't see Raphael anymore, he saw an enemy! A Rival! Someone who made him look bad, who took everything from him!
Leonardo growled then began to get more forceful in his fighting, he aimed his sword directly at Raphael and the red masked turtle had to duck and dodge before Leonardo's swords could hit him.
As Leonardo swung his swords over Raphael's head, Raphael ducked and almost dropped his sai.
He rolled over then jumped up to face Leonardo as he saw the eldest turtle grip his swords and grit his teeth then run towards him with his swords held high.
Leonardo then jumped into the air and got ready to bring his swords down on Raphael!
Raphael quickly brought his sai up as Leonardo aimed his swords at him, as he did, the blades clashed with each other!
"What the shell are you doing Leo!?" cried Raphael in shock realising his brother was using more force and acting like he was in a real fight!
"Cool it big brother" said Raphael "we're meant to be sparring!"
Leonardo pushed his swords against Raphael's sai and his eyes burned in anger and hate. Raphael then saw the look in his brother's eyes and felt worried.
"Leonardo?" he asked "What's wrong with you?" Leonardo growled and shoved his brother back every strength he had in him.
"You really don't know do you?" he snarled, "You think you're so great? You think you have what it takes to attract a female?"
Raphael widened "What are you talking about Leonardo?" he asked shocked.
"You believe you're the right boyfriend material?"Leonardo continued to snarl "an impatient hot tempered turtle like you?!"
Raphael stared at his brother, "What!?" he cried "You're talking about Monalisa? And that fact she and I are together?"
Leonardo glared and gripped his swords. "What she sees in you...I have no idea..." he said.
Raphael gripped his sai "You're jealous of us huh?" he asked, "You can't face the fact that Mona chose me?"
"She would have been happier if she chose me Raphael" growled Leonardo as he walked around Raphael with his swords still held up, "I could have given her everything she wanted, made her so happy, she would have been a princess"
Raphael gritted his teeth in anger. "You never made any advances Leo!" he growled "You never made an effort! And even if you tried your best, in the end she chose me!"
"You aren't the right mate for her!" retorted Leonardo "You put her in danger with the nights out topside! You take her on that death machine! I've seen what you do on that Shell Cycle!"
"She's always safe with me!" growled Raphael "And you believe you can do a better job? After all the times you almost cut her with your blades during training!"
"Don't push it Raph!" snarled Leonardo "I care more about Mona than you or my brothers! I would give my life for her! I would have made her so happy!"
"And you believe I cannot?" snapped Raphael "she's happy with me and she loves me, she chose me as her mate, get used to it!"
"You aren't the right match for her!" accused Leonard pointing at Raphael "You're impatient and hot tempered! And more importantly, I'm better than you! Mona should have chosen me!"
Raphael gave a sarcastic laugh "Well if that's the case big brother" he said "why did she choose me and not you?"
As Raphael said those words, Leonardo went blind with rage and before he could stop himself he dropped his swords and lunged at Raphael knocking him to the ground making him drop his sai.
Raphael gasped in shock as he was thrown to the ground. "Leonardo!" he cried "Have you gone mad?!"
Leonardo then lifted his fist and started to punch Raphael all over. Raphael choked and spluttered as he was punched, he then socked Leonardo in the chin knocking him off then tried to jump on him but Leonardo lifted his foot and kicked him back!
Raphael cried out in pain but he managed to jump up as Leonardo jumped to his feet. The two turtles then began to fight with their fists and feet, blood oozing from their noses and lips and bruises starting to form on their bodies as they struck each other.
Upon hearing the commotion, Donatello ran out of his medical room/lab, Michelangelo jumped up from the sofa and Mona ran out of the kitchen. "What's going on!?" cried Mona as she saw the looks of shock and fear on Donatello and Michelangelo's faces.
She then looked towards Leonardo and Raphael and saw they were fighting! At first she thought they were sparring but she soon realised they really were fighting to the death! The way they punched and kicked at each other.
"Oh my god!" cried Mona as she ran over "Guys stop!" she cried. But Raphael and Leonardo ignored her.
Donatello and Michelangelo also ran over, "What the shell are they doing?" cried Donatello.
"Either they're really getting into their sparring, or they're honestly trying to kill each other!" cried Michelangelo. Mona wanted to run in and stop them fighting but the two fighting males were so intensely in their fight it looked dangerous to step Inbetween them.
Raphael went to punch Leonardo but Leonardo ducked and tried to uppercut Raphael but Raphael dodged and did a roundhouse kick causing Leonardo to fall to the side. "Ha!" cried Raphael triumphantly.
Leonardo glared and growled then rolled over before Raphael could jump on him and grabbed his katana.
Raphael saw him grab his weapons so he rolled to the side before Leonardo could strike him and grabbed his sai. He then jumped up and the two turtles began to fight with their weapons.
"You always thought you were better than us didn't you!?" snarled Raphael as he clashed his sai with Leonardo's katana "just because you're the leader and the favourite of Master Splinter!" he then kicked Leonardo back "You believe that because you're the leader of the ninja turtles that you deserve the girl?"
Leonardo said nothing but continued to clash his swords with his sai, he then pushed Raphael back with his swords as he pressed them against Raphael's sai.
"I would have given her everything! But you had to go and take her!" Leonardo growled.
Raphael crossed his sai "Sorry brother" he said "but it's not my fault I have her as my mate!"
As Mona, Michelangelo and Donatello watched in horror Donatello bit his lip "My worst fears have come true!" he thought "They're fighting over Mona! Leo's snapped!" He took out his bo staff and Michelangelo took out his nun chucks.
"What are we gonna do Donnie?" asked Michelangelo.
"We've got to stop them fighting!" cried Donatello.
Mona also stepped in "They're gonna hurt each other!" she cried.
As they thought about how to intervene Splinter came out of his quarters. "What is going on here?" he demanded.
He then saw Leonardo and Raphael fighting each other with their blades and covered in sweat and blood.
"Leonardo! Raphael!" he cried out in horror "What is happening!?" he stared at the two fighting turtles and saw they were trying to really hurt each other.
"LEONARDO! RAPHEAL!" he shouted "STOP AT ONCE!"
But Leonardo and Raphael weren't paying attention as they were so wrapped up in fighting each other.
"You couldn't have won Mona!" Raphael growled "She was into me all along!"
"I tried to win her!" growled Leonardo "But what did you do that I did not to win her affections!?"
He then kicked Raphael back causing him to fall on his shell. Donatello and Michelangelo instantly saw their chance and ran over to stop Leonardo.
"Leo stop it!" yelled Donatello
"What's gotten into you bro?" shouted Michelangelo.
Leonardo looked up and saw his two younger brothers coming towards him.
"Don't fucking interfere!" he growled in a low voice, he then jumped in the air and did a split kick causing the two turtles to go flying backwards.
Splinter gasped in horror as he watched his eldest son go mad. "Leonardo!" he cried jumping over to intervene "Stop it! This isn't you!"
Leonardo looked up at Splinter and his eyes narrowed, Splinter then saw the darkness in his eyes and they look of pure fury on his face, "You will not stop me!" he snarled in a low voice.
Splinter looked terrified "That's not you Leonardo!" he cried "I can hear evil in your voice!"
Raphael then stood up, "Snap out of it Leonardo!" he shouted, he held up his sai and charge towards Leonardo.
But Leonardo swung his swords and clashed his blades with Raphael's.
Raphael then tried to push against Leonardo as Splinter, Mona, Donatello and Michelangelo watched in horror.
"Stop!" Mona screamed "STOP IT!" "MY SONS!" commanded Splinter "I order you to stop!"
But Leonardo and Raphael continued to fight and push against each other.
Leonardo then gritted his teeth and lifted his foot. He then kicked Raphael back then with one slash of his blade he knocked Raphael's sai out of his hands then with a yell he slashed his sword across Raphael's face and shoulder!
As he did, the blade caught Raphael's flesh making him yell in pain and shock, and the blade also cut off his mask!
"RAPHAEL!" Mona screamed in horror.
Everyone else cried out in shock as Raphael was sliced! As Leonardo brought up his blade, blood sprayed from his sword.
Then Leonardo aimed for Raphael again as the red masked turtle fell to the ground cradling his bleeding face. "YOU'LL PAY!" Leonardo hissed.
"LEO! NO!" Mona reacted quickly and dived for Leonardo then did a spinning move knocking him back with her tail.
Leonardo cried out in shock as he was knocked back.
As he landed on his shell, Leonardo felt his head hit the ground and he saw stars.
As he did, his mind began to clear as if all the blackness in his heart and soul was being pushed away and he had been awoken from some nightmare. He looked up and saw Mona's horrified expression and his eyes widened as he realised what had happened.
"Leo!" Mona cried, tears forming in her eyes "What's wrong with you!?"
Leonardo sat up and got to his feet, he then saw Splinter staring at him with shock and disappointment.
Michelangelo with his mouth open in horror, and Donatello staring at him in disbelief as he tried to tend to Raphael who was holding his face and blood was seeping between his fingers and his shoulder.
"I...I..." Leonardo stuttered in shock and horror as he looked at the horrified expressions of his family "What...what have I done...?" he whispered as the realization poured over him like cold water.
Leonardo's finally lost it and injured Raphael! What will be the outcome of this? Tune in to find out.
