Italic means thoughts or dream P.O.V.


Feeling movement by me causing me to open one eye to see Alex was moving. She had pulled on her beanie which changed her appearance to something different each time today she became taller, leaner long platinum blonde hair braided into a single long braid with a streak of blue running through it. Icily blue eyes that were large and small nose, thin lips. She looks very Nordic.

"Alex where are you going?" I asked hearing her get up.

"Go back to sleep Tabs" Alex whispered. "I'm going for my morning run with Leo."

"Are you sure that safe I mean the foot is looking for us," I whispered back moving to a sitting position, and end up leaning against a sleeping Mikey.
"We will be safe," Alex whispered back.
"Let's go, Alex," Leo whispered.
Alex pulled her black sweat jacket on and followed Leo to the window, both climbed out.

Alex P.O.V.

"Ready for the morning run?" I asked pulling at my jacket.

It was a bright day, the sun was coming up.

"Of course," Leo reply. "You ready?"

"Let's go," I said running away from Leo and easily jumping another roof with a smirk send through Leo.

Leo easily got the upper hand on the run, leading the chase. I easily did a flip and landed in a roll.

"You're getting better." Leo comment.

"You think," I reply but could feel something was off.

"Al, what's wrong?" Leo asked.

"Something is off," I reply as foot ninjas appeared in front of us.

"Al, go back," Leo said pulling out his sword and ready to fight them "Al go now."

"I'm not going to leave you," I reply pulling out my own sword letting it glow it bright silver.

"This isn't matter not up for discussion Al," Leo growled.

"I'm still not leaving you," I stated.

"Fine," Leo muttered grabbing my free hand and took off running with him, I clapped my sword back. "Grab hold."

I grip his shell, as he cut a piece of rope that sent both of us flying to another roof. As we landed on the roof, I let go of Leo's shell and rolled off. We kept moving, I unclipped my sword as we reached another roof where there were more foot ninjas. I could feel the electricity in the air a storm was coming. Leo energy was fading, he let out a growl and launched himself into an attack. I followed his lead and attack the ninjas, which was easily fighting for Leo and I. we both looked up to see more foot ninjas lightning flash above us and rain started to pour down. I looked in horror as I realized that we were surrounded.

"Not good," I muttered more fighting coming, we won but it may both have to use a good amount of energy. As I thought that we were done but I was sadly wrong above of us, I could see three different looking foot ninjas. I realized that there were the ones that could go invisible. I watched in horror as their turned invisible.

"Stay on guard," Leo muttered.

"I know," I reply.

Being sucked punch in the gut, making me go down, but I fought to get back up, angry course through me. I got hit again, I watched as Leo when flying away from me. I got hit again. I took a breath and listen I focused on footsteps and turn out the rain. As a pair of footsteps got closer, I act and kicked out followed by a bang. I was breathing heavily but ran after Leo to see him get thrown off a roof.

"No!" I called out. Getting him to safety and I jumped off the roof not thinking about myself. "Maia." Bright white wings appeared from my shoes. I watched as he grabbed onto a roof grip. I took a breath. "Fancy seeing you."

"Not now Al." Leo groaned.

"Sorry," I muttered, landing on the roof. I offered a hand and pulled him up.

"Stay behind me," Leo whispered before turning his bandage to cover his eyes and wipe so foot ninja butt. "Let's move."

"Yes sir," I muttered before running with him. More foot ninjas found us, which caused more fighting. "Why do I feel like a mouse in a maze?"

I watched in horror as Hun came into view.

"Al get out of here now." Leo demand.

"I don't leave friends," I reply.

He grips his sword and motion Hun to come at him.

Hun growled, both Leo and Hun launched at each other with a flash of lightning. Fear was slipping through me but I refused to let it show. I watched has their fought and sadly Leo lost, he was sent flying into a bird house. Hun started to walk Leo's body with the large metal pipe that he used to fight with. I reacted quickly getting myself in front Leo and kept myself in front of Hun.

Anger and adrenaline course me again.

"How cute the little girl is trying to protect the freak," Hun said smugly still holding the piece of metal.

"Come at me meat head!" I roared allowing my shield to come to life. "I don't leave a friend!"

Hun came flying at me, I threw my shield to meet the sound was horrible but I kept pushing back. It was soon found out that I stand my ground with Hun causing him fall down. Which gave Leo the time that he needed to regain his strength and easily sent Hun into a chimney. There were more foot ninjas.

"Boo!" Leo roared causing the ninjas to jump away.

We ran again through the city and open over rooftops with rain pouring down on us. As well as having foot ninjas on our butts. We slipped to a stop. I could see that Hun was sporting some bruises. Leo took a breath before launching himself in the fight. My body was fighting for breath like a pulling in my chest but I fought it back and charged into the fight. The ninjas easily defaulted. I watched as Hun was sent to the ground he then started to laugh behind of us. the hair on the back of my neck stood up, the foot ninjas stood in a line and bow meaning one thing Shedder was here but when I look back I didn't see Shedder instead I saw four very large men each with a weird looking hats blood red eyes and red masks. Each was holding different weapons.

"Leo?" I question my voice was losing it strength.

Leo growled in responded and launched himself at them, they easily disappeared. I could the blood red eyes breathing down my neck I turned to face them and jumped back. I watched as they are bow to my right meaning Shedder was coming. I followed their glance to see him. Shedder with a flash of lightning, fear slipped through me, I grip my sword tighter. The blood eyes disappear in puff of dust and reappeared behind him, Leo.

"Leo behind you!" I called but it was too late, Leo was attacked but the four blood eyes he was easily beaten. When I thought he was out for the count. I was about to jump into the fight, as Leo launched himself into another attack. In a rush of fury, I watched in shock and horror as Leo lost his swords. Lightning flash over us. The ringing in my ears became a symphony, fear slipped through me again. A sharp streak of pain ripped through my body causing me to scream out, fire ripped through me until it ran through my body and became too much for me to stay awake and darkness over took me.

Tabs P.O.V.

For the whole day worry rushed through me for Alex and Leo normally a run would last for about an hour or two at the most but there have been gone for most of the morning so had to happen with them but I don't know what was it but I had a sicken feeling that it was the foot.

"Where are they?" I questioned.

"Hey, guys I'm really starting to get worried about them," Mikey added watching the clock and rubbing his head. "Leo and Alex should have checked in by now."

"I know this is a first but I agree with him," Don added grabbing his bo staff "But I think Mikey is right."

Master Splinter walked closer to us.

"Master'a Splinter?" Raph asked.

We look for him for help, who huffed and April placed a hand on his shoulder for comfort.

"Go." He whispered.

"What If something really bad happened to them?" Mikey asked as we started walked to go out.

Within seconds both Alex and Leo were thrown through the window, shock and fear rushed through us.

"Leo!" Don yelled.

"Leo, what happened?" Raph questioned.

"Alex?" I inquiry.

All of us rushed to their sides, Mikey gently lifted Leo's head. Looking over Alex injuries seeing busies all over her Nordic face. Her once single well-done braid was free and dirty. Glancing over to Leo to see more bruises and weak.

"Leo," Raph asked. "Who did this you?"

Leo just blinked weakly and didn't say a thing, Raph standing up and growling out.

"Alex?" I questioned. "Can you hear me?"

No responded, fear started to flow through me, her wakizashi was gone, meaning something bad happens, a sick feeling grew in the pit of my guts could it be the foot.

He grabbed his sais and began to spin them. "I'm going to find out who did this."

"No Raph," Leo weakly and raspy voice called. "Wait," Raph thankfully stop and came back, Leo grabbed his shoulder and brought him down. "He's back," He whispered. "The Shredder." He then passed out. Fear and anger slipped through me as Leo whispered the Shredder is back. Fighting back tears and held Alex tight to me as I glance up to the broken window.

"What…What did he just say?" April asked.

"He said the shredder is back," Mikey stated.

"No way," Raph said sais at the ready looking out the broken window. "We were all there we all saw what happened that night on the roof."

"There's no way any human could have survived that," Don added.

"We're not dealing with any human this is the shredder," Raph stated as he came over to the still form of Alex and slightly moving a form of Leo.

"For all, we know the shredder could be something other than human," I added.

"Well if you read comic books," Mikey added as he stood up and look out the window "You'd know the bad guy always comes back. Always."

"We need to get both Alex and Leo out of here," April said.

"She is right," Master Splinter said. "We must leave now."

"Guys," Mikey said. "We got company."

"What's the plan Leo is always the one with the plan?" Mikey asked. "So what are we gonna do without Leo to come up with a plan?"

"Cougar is grace under pressure," I whispered under my breath.

"No time for a plan," Raph replied.

"Why not?" Mikey asked.

Two-foot ninjas broke through the windows in the living room, with Mikey letting out a scream, who jumped and started to push the sofa at them, right as more foot ninjas came in from the kitchen.

"Master Splinter grabs Leo," Donnie yelled. "We'll cover you." As the guys started to fight the ninjas off. April and Master Splinter pick up and carried him over, I managed to carry Alex so she was closer to Leo and meaning that they are okay. Getting ready to jump in as Mikey nearly got killed by a larger than life ninja.

"No," Master Splinter growled and launching himself kicking him to the ground with a loud thud. "I will hold them off, Help April get your brother down the stairs and out through the antique shop."

"Leo?" Mikey asked.

"My swords where are my swords?" Leo questioned.

"Take it, easy bro," Mikey said. "We're getting you out of here."

"Enough now," Master Splinter growled. "Raphael, Donatello cover the rear. Michelangelo, I told you to help April bring Leonardo downstairs."

"Alex please awake up," I whispered. "We need help."

No responded.

More ninjas came towards us, Mikey attacks them, April put Leo's arm over her, as I pick Alex up and pass her on my back and started to move.

"I can walk," Leo muttered and tried with didn't work.

"Leo lean on me," April replied.

"April leave me to get away if you can this is your fight, not yours," Leo replied.

"Not my fight look, Leo, we're all family now I could never run out on you let's go," April responded with.

Getting to the door before April, and managed to get the door open to see more foot ninjas.

"Move!" I heard April and get to the side with Leo swift kicked the door shut.

Instead, the foot ninja kicked the door open, Mikey attacked taking them down.

"Ladies and gentlemen turtles and rats run do not walk to the nearest exit," Mikey said.

"Raph this bus is leaving!" Donnie yelled.

Mikey lead us down, as Master Splinter was helped April with Leo.

"Be alert the shop is our only exit and they know it." Master Splinter whispered

"Make yourself useful and scope out the store," Donnie whispered to Mikey.

"No problem," Mikey whispered hiding his worry as he headed down he opens the door quietly and look in. "it's quiet maybe too quiet always wanted to say that," Rolling my eyes at Mikey, but he looked in more hearing him gasp, made me worry more. "Nice hats." He then shut the door. We headed down the steps carefully. Mikey came running towards us.

"Wrong way Mikey," Don said.

"Wrong way my foot," Mikey said. "poor choice of words major ambush down there we don't have a choice they're pouring in through the windows upstairs."

"Hey what's the story down there?" Raph shouted.

"There's some seriously mean looking guys down there!" Mikey shouted.

"Mean looking duh," Don growled and rushed down.

"Don wait!" Mikey yelled.

Don swing the door and shouted a war cry, coming down.

"Rafi we've got trouble down here!" Don yelled.

"Like I don't get trouble up here!" Raph yelled back.

Splinter went ahead of us.

"Shredders Elite Guard!" I heard Splinter said, "They are the deadliest of his warriors' lethal assassins." He placed his furry claw up to stop us.

"Raph the guys ran into something bad in the shop!" April yelled.

"Hey, I got my hands full up here!" Raph yelled.

Master Splinter ran past us, "Go assist your brothers!" He yelled. "I will protect Leonardo and Alex."

Raph ran to fight jumping over us, and ran into the store, seeing these elite guards.

"Oh, nice hats," Raph said.

"Yeah, we thought so too," Mikey said.

"Say what you will about the foot but they do not skimp on the headgear," Don said.

"Master Splinter he's getting worse!" April yelled.

Fear started slipped through me, Alex hadn't changed she was still laying on my back breathing shallowly but breathing at least.

"We cannot stay here any longer." Master Splinter muttered.

"So we gonna do this or what?" Raph questioned.

They launched in the fight, but each of them got to throw in the wall apart from Mikey would send a guard flying back, each of the guys got up and fought again.

"Hey try not to wreck the shop at least try not to wreck it too badly." I heard Don growled.

"I just need to catch my breath, I heard Raph muttered.

"Yeah, can we call a time out or something?" Hearing Mikey muttered.

More thuds and crashing to the ground. "Whoa."

Seeing them appeared in a pour of smoke, Master Splinter jump over us and ran into the store.

Walking into the door threshold. Seeing April get pushed turning to see Hun was holding Leo.

"Your friend doesn't look too well." He teased. "Shall I put him out of his misery."

Moving quickly as Mikey nearly crashed into us.

"Leo!" Mikey yelled.

Fear slipped through me. April hit Hun with a jar but that just made him angered.

"Put him down!" April yelled ready to fight.

"As you wish," Hun growled and he threw Leo into the fight. Fighting the want to scream or cry but I told myself not to, stepping backward from Hun, with April screaming it wasn't happening.

"Please," I whispered. "I could use a miracle right now."

Raph threw a kick into Hun sending him flying back with April slamming the door shut. Alex was still not moving. Seeing the four ninja assassins at the ready to fight but the front door was kicked open to show the shadow of Shredder.

"Oh crud," Raph whispered.

"Huh, it's really him," Mikey said. "Like Leo said."

He walked feeling like he was smirking.

"You freaks have been a thorn in my side long enough," He growled as Master Splinter came to stand in front of them. "No one opposes the shredder and now I will have my revenge for our last encounter. Say farewell to each other while you still can."

"Oh yeah, Mr. Spikey pants well you're the one who should be saying farewell to duh to yourself." Mikey teased.

"Oh yeah, Mikey that got him," Raph muttered.

"Hey, I'm under a lot of pressure here," Mikey replied.

"Silence!" Shredder yelled.

"This attack is nothing," Master Splinter said. "But a cowardly gambit, wearing us down by sheer numbers and it is not the way of the true warrior."

Guys, I say we shred his butt once and for all," Raph growled sais at the ready. "For Leo! You with me?"

"Till the end," Don said.

"Which hopefully isn't gonna be anytime soon right," Mikey said.

All three of them ran and attack Shredder, which failed with all three of them failing against him, with Master Splinter came to guard.

"Finish them off," Shredder growled. "This rodent is mine."

I watched in horror as Master Splinter when up against Shredder fighting him like a badass. Fear slipped through me as the assassin went to kill Raph right as a crazy dude on a motorcycle race through the window. Seeing the mask and seeing that it was Casey. His engine roar as he made his bike to skidded knocking three of the four assassins on to the street. He got the other guy flying to a china cabinet. Looking up with a small smile.

"Now that's what I call crashing a party." He teased.

"Casey." Raph started holding his head.

"Though I never saw a lame a party in my life," Casey said hitting two of the ninjas to the ground where's the band, you okay babe?"

"Don't call me babe," April replied with a smirk.

"Obliterated him," Shredder ordered.

"This can't be the band," Casey muttered pulling out more weapons. "And I want to rock and roll man."

"Good thing I brought my own drumsticks," Casey said. "Now who wants to be to the drums? Goongala!"

A full crazy fight came out, watching as the guys were winning, the door was broken open by Hun who spied us, anger came through my veins, placing Alex gently on the ground, fighting back a growl as I pulled out my kusarigama.

"You want him you have to deal with me first," April growled.

"That's the idea those green freaks feel great affection for you and friends losing all of you such take the fight out of them." He growling about to throw a punch when Casey golf cub caught it.

"Hun never ever threaten them." He growled pulling him into a fight, standing guard to protect Leo, April, and Alex. Casey throwing a well time hit to sent Hun into an incoming flight of foot ninjas.

"Casey I care…" April started.

"Well, I…" Casey added. "UH, what are they huh well gotta run."

He throws himself in the fight as we watching fight back a laugh at Casey. Police sirens can scream in. seeing that Leo was trying to stand to cause me to move get his other side,

"Mikey look!" Raph yelled,

"Leo!" Mikey yelled.

"Leo you can't do this," April reasoned.

"Really you're too weak," I added.

"I have too they need my help," Leo growled somehow standing up before falling to his knees. Seeing a shadow looming, I quickly stood in front ready to fight. Standing in front of Shredder showing no fear but rather an anger ready to defend my brother. Master Splinter sent a flying kick sending him back.

"You strike a wounded warrior you have no honor." Master Splinter growled.
"I fight to win," Shredder said.

Which the two started to fight more, seeing a foot ninja came towards Alex, caused me to react by jumping on the guy back causing to crash on to the ground followed by a swift kick to the face knocking the guy out. Seeing Master Splinter losing the fight was frightening. Leo got so angry he managed to get the strength to run and push china cabinets at Shredder which many small barricades. Before crashing to the ground thankfully April got him.

"Leonardo." Master Splinter whispered. Everyone was fighting and we were losing. "No, I will not allow you to destroy my family. My son's retreat." hiding my weapon and get Alex back on my back.

"Great but where to?" Raph questioned.

"Back there," April yelled pointing at a door.

"You got it," Mikey said jumping over and pulling the door open. "Everybody in here we can hold them off."

Moving quickly following April, Leo, and Master Splinter into the room, seeing the others came in, with Mikey pulling the door shut.

"Well, this is great small dark and no way out perfect for making a last stand," Raph growled as he pulled his sais away. "It's a walk-in cooler," April said. "This shop used to be a grocery store once upon a time."

"Fantastic," Raph muttered.

"Kinda of quiet out there," Mikey said. "You think they all just went home?"

"Yeah we scared them off by running into a closet and locking the door," Raph muttered being smelling something, which I smelt gas. "I smell smoke."

"I smell gas," Don added.

"Same here," I muttered.

"Mikey?" Raph questioned hands on his hips.

"No not that kind of gas," Don stated shaking his hand, which caused us to worry.

"Hey this door is getting hot," Mikey said touching the door handle and tried to open it. "It's jammed it won't open."

"Gas plus flame equals," Casey said. "Let's book now!"

"We gotta get out here!" Raph yelled running at the door and helped Mikey to try to open the door. They step back as the flame came from under the door.

"Trapped like rats," Mikey said. "No offered sensei." Who nodded at him.

"Leo is starting to get worst," Don added. "We have to get out of here."

"Working on it!" Raph yelled as he slammed the sais onto the metal door.

"What are you doing?" Casey asked as April was moving things.

Wishing that I could something but holding Alex was proving to be hard. Next, to April some boxes crashed down like an invisible force. Feeling Alex's finger was stretching out.

"Alex?" I questioned.

"Hey." She muttered out but her voice was rough and sore.

"Can you stand?" I inquiry.

"Barely." She muttered.

Gently placing her on the ground, which she leaned heavily on me.

"When I first moved in there was a hole in the wall," April said moving more things "Right here." Showing a metal spot, Raph ran over and pulled it open. April slipped in.

"Casey," Raph said. "Everyone out," Casey jumped through, Donnie and Mikey carefully carry Leo out, Master Splinter slipped out, and Raph helps me to get Alex out by pulling her through and to Raph shell. Jumping through running with the others. "Move, Move."

Turning to see the blaze that was burning before seeing the building exploding. April started to cry, Casey pulled her into a tight hug.

"I'm very sorry April but we move from the past so we may have a future," Master splinter said. "Leonardo and Alex was badly injured and need a safe place to heal."

"What about the lair?" Mikey asked.

"Shredder has a whole ninja army down in the sewers remember we are in no shape to fight," Don said.

"Hey, we don't run from nobody," Raph growled slamming his fists together.

"And yet we must." Master Splinter said.

"But where?" April asked.

"Felics I know just the place," Casey said.

(TL)

Alex was sleeping on my shoulder in Casey's van, April was watching the road as Casey drove. I had gently taken the beanie off to show Alex's true form and While the others were standing guard around Leo in the trailer. The landscape changed from the city which was cold and grey to wooden landscape with white snow covering the ground.

"You guys are gonna love my grandma's old farmhouse me and my cousin sid used to play there all the time well we were kids." He said. "April?"

"How do you think Leo's holding up?" She asked.

"We can only hope for the best that he will okay," I added.

"This is it, just as I remember it," Casey said pulling into a snow-covered ground that was also covered the large and old farm house, barn, and windmill. "An isn't it great"

"Great does not even begin to describe this place," April said.

The house was old and a bit run down but it had charm, Alex was still leaning on me sleeping. Holding Alex on my back as we came in and placed her on the chair. She slowly blinked at me and woke up.

"Where are we?" She asked.

"Casey's grandmother house in Massachusetts," I answered.

The Guys placed Leo on the sofa and let him rest, placing a large blanket over him. As Casey and Mikey came in carrying piles of chopped wood.

"Alright so it needs some fixing up," Casey said. "The place got a little rundown since grandma passed away."

April was pulling a lever and trash and dust fell out causing some of us to cough.

"When was that in the late Jurassic?" Mikey asked.

"Dude you live in a sewer," Casey replied.

A small groan, causing us to move towards Leo.

"Leo?" Don asked.

Alex was watching us, I didn't want to her move she needed to heal but she looked worried at Leo. We kept watching over him as the fire was crackling.

"Huh," Raph growled hitting the wall. "Why won't he wake up?"

"Healing takes time and Leonardo is recovering," Master Splinter said gently placing a claw on his forehead. "More than just physical wounds his spirit has also been grievously injured."

"You think he can hear us?" Don asked.

"Perhaps." Master Splinter said moving away and allowed Don to come to his side.

"Hey Leo it's me, Don," He said. "listen you are going to pull through this I know you are you have to I mean you know what kind of trouble we'd get in without you like remember the time I built that remote-controlled car."

Alex gave me a look before allowing herself to fade into shadow, she was going to deal with her father and get him to allow Leo to wake up.

Alex P.O.V.

Shadow traveling to the underworld, was a bit more pain due to the still healing bruise and cuts. Somehow making it to Dad's palace, pushing the wide doors out of my way. A hellhound growled at me, only to get a growl back from my lips. Who back down, and walking past it to the where guitar music was coming out to find Dad was crashing on the cords.

"Dad!" I yelled. He didn't respond to me. I yelled again allowing myself to scream him just to see me looking annoyed.

He stops playing.

"Alex you look like bad," He muttered stepping closer to me. "Kind to tell me?"

"It's nothing but right now you have a soul that fighting to live and you need to let him live." I started.

"Oh, and who might that be?" He asked crossing his arms.

"Dad you know who I am talking about," I answered. "My friend Leo."

"Oh, you mean that mutant turtle creature." He replied.

"He is my friend and part of my family Dad so I would ask you to be respectful," I growled fighting a growl that was fighting to come out, hands now fists.

"Look at you miss fire come out," He teased. "Your friend is starting to wake up, go and see if you don't believe me."

"Thank you," I replied with a nod of the head.

"Do be careful with the left leg it seems that you have a bad sprained then now please tell me who did this so I can make them pay." He added.

"Don't worry you will meet him soon," I added, and allowed myself to shadow out back to Casey's grandmother house.

As I appeared back in the chair, seeing Raph with a few tears as he stood over Leo. "I mean what I'm trying to say is." He said placing his hand on his head.

As Master Splinter placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Your brother hears you, Raphael, he understands." Master Splinter said.

Tabs say that I was back, who came over to my side.

"What happen?" She asked.

"He said that Leo will come back," I replied. "Plus he tells me my left leg is sprained bad."

"We will get fixed up." She said.

"Right now Leo is more important that me," I replied.

"Come on you let you fix up." She muttered coming to my side and help me to stand up and walked and hop to the kitchen, where Raph was standing quiet and fighting the urge to cry.

"Raph, can you please get the warping?" She asked.

Raph turned to see us, I could see he was fighting the tears that wanted to come out. He wiped them away quickly and came to my other side, easily picking me up and placed me on the kitchen table.

"Keep your leg out," He muttered. "I'll get the warping for you."

He walked away, Tabs gave me a look which I shot her back. Raph didn't want to show his soft side to us, he wanted to be all tough guy. As he came back carrying the wrapping. Tabs helped to take off the sneaker and kept my foot up as Raph carefully warp the ankle and leg.

"Thanks, Raph," I said placing a hand on his arm who looked up at me still acting tough. "Leo will make it through it."

"Thanks, Al." He said offering a rare smile, he helps me back down and both of them Tabs and Raph walked me back to the living room, where Leo was still healing.

"Leonardo my son you must gather all the strength and confront your fear," Master Splinter said placing a claw on Leo's forehead. "Just as you did many years ago."

"Come on Sensei," Raph said looking tough again. "Leo's never been afraid of in his life."

"Not true my son," Master Splinter replied. "Do you recall Leonardo our early days? We were scavenging for food and supplies," Listening to the tale of Leo being scared of heights. "It was then that I realized you had an irrational and paralyzing fear of heights in the weeks that followed I worked closely to help you overcome your fear focusing on the way of balance, gradually building your confidence I was beginning to wonder if you would ever conquer the dark imaginings of your mind but I was unwilling to give up. Do so again ignore the fear my son let your spirit heal find your way home return to us."

We watched for a bit, fear was slipped into my heart causing me to take a deep breath and allowed myself to relax Leo would wake up, the ring that was screaming through my ear was fading.

"Is he?" Mikey asked.

"No fear." Leo gasped out before slowly opening his eyes, everything was happy to see Leo back in the world of the living, Mikey and Don were hugging, a small smirk came over my mouth. Dad was right, the ringing had disappeared. Tabs and I both fought a giggle as April and Casey hug quickly before breaking apart.

"Uh sorry," Casey muttered.

"Right," April added.

"We thought you were gone bro," Raph said.

"It was but you brought me back all of you," Leo whispered.

"You fought your way, my son." Master splinter said. "You have done well."

"Thank you sensei," Leo said being set back down to sleep.

"The danger is past," He whispered turning to us. "Now we must let him rest."

Tabs helped me up, nodded at Leo's sleeping form, at peace that he was going to be okay. We started to head up to rest ourselves.

"You know that we have to send a note to mom so she knows we are okay," I whispered.

"We will worry about tomorrow right now we all need rest and you need to heal," Tabs whispered.


Okay, that end of chapter 28 more is coming please tell me what you think but please use Constructive criticism.
