"LEONARDO NO!" Splinter watched in terrors as Cobra and Leo fought closer to the door and was near the water, his heart was now a lump of ice as he realised what Leo planned to do since they refused to leave the roof

"You won't survive this! Shredder paid me to kill you when I got what I wanted...No wait...When I got the Lion I was going to hand you over to him...But he gave me this instead! Now exo-suit is waiting for me!" Cobra laughed and jumped towards Leo, who dropped his swords he he got another kick to the face.

"Guys..." They all heard Leo's whisper and knew that he was going to do It

"I love you..."

"LEO!"

"Be safe...baby brothers...I'll always love you"
BOOM!
Raph watched in horror how Leo grabbed Cobra and they both fell in the water just as the bomb blew up, with everyone else frozen he dived after and swam to the bottom to find his brother. He found a small sub and how Cobra waved and disappeared into it and then it took off, Raph kept looking and almost drowned when he found the swords, the remains of the bomb and a half burned mask.
The memories flashed before Raph's eyes of Leo and couldn't believe that the future would no longer have the grassy green, blue masked turtle in the world. When he surfaced he dropped everything in his arms in the sand and sat down...All he could do was cry for his now dead big brother, he heard Donnie and Mikey run towards him and also Mikey scream in agony when the proof of Leo's death was laying beside Raph. Both the younger turtles dived into Raph's arms and they all broke down.
Splinter picked up the mask and pressed his lips on it, if this was the only thing that remained of his eldest son then he wouldn't let go of it...No matter what they would say he would not let go of the mask "Let us go home my sons...there is nothing more we can do here..." -he couldn't finish his sentence when Mikey suddenly dived into the water again with Donnie close behind...Only Raph remained on the river bank and hid his face from everyone else.
But the rat and crocodile could see the tears that flooded down Raph's face and knew that he was heart broken, Mikey resurfaced but was soon down again. Leatherhead sighed and dived as well, leaving Splinter to have a little word with Raphael "My son..." He started but Raph cut him off, his voice sounded like he hadn't used it in ages "Save it...Once we get back home and it's been a week...You'll find me with my sai in my chest or throat...I'm not gonna be here if Leo is...G-Gone..." Splinter felt his heart broke as he watch his once strong, hotheaded son brake down and cry like when they were just kids.
"Leonardo would not have wanted that...He once told me that if he were t leav this world, you would take his place as the leader and also keep an eye on your brothers...He trusted you so deeply that he convinced me to it" Splinter whispered and hugged Raph, who buried his face in his father's shoulder. His heart were in billion pieces and each time he took a breath it felt like he was in a ice river, he couldn't survive without his brother.
When Mikey and Donnie was back up again, Leather head took the chance and grabbed them both to the river bank. "We found nothing...what Raphael found must be the only things that is left of Leonardo" He said and bowed his head in sorrow for their lost friend/brother/son and they all started to walk home...
...everyone but Raph.
"Why...Why did you do it Leo?...you know we need you...why did you kill your self"
Raph knew that his pleas were useless but he couldn't stop asking him self that, he loved his big brother and now regretted that he didn't tell that to Leo as often as he would like. But it was to late now...and now he was the leader, he would rather kill him self then being in a world that no longer held the warm and care...Only coldness and fear.
...
Mikey almost sent his door to the other side of the lair and buried his face in his pillow, his heart was now nothing but ashes. It was his fault, if he hadn't gone after Cobra then Leo would have gone after them and got dragged into the fight...He would have still been there with them and in the lab recovering. He pressed his face deeper in the pillow and cried harder until he heard the door open and how someone sat down beside him on his bed.
"You're not the only one who are trying to understand why he did it..." Donnie said and placed a hand on Mikey's shoulder, he hated to see the happy turtle so broken and torn apart but who could blame him? He felt the same inside and could hardly breath without seeing his brother walk around the lair like he was still there. If they had listened to him and done what he told them then he might had survived...Or if they had helped him take down Cobra...The thought of the said man made Donnie realize something and ran to his lab.
After spending some time looking on all the files they had on the Foot Donnie felt his heart stop but it was his anger that took control over him. He had pretty much smashed his own lab when Raph walked in and grabbed him, to shocked to even speak "Would you care to explain why you have smashed your lab to smithereens?" He asked when he found his voice that was still hoarse from crying, the tears was still falling now and then but not like a waterfall like earlier. Donnie took some deep breaths and slowly regained control over him self...Not really caring about his lab.
"Cobra is working for the Shredder...I just found his file among the info we have on them, this whole time...It was Shredder! I'M GOING TO MELT THAT WALKING CAN OPENER TO NOTHING!" Donnie roared the last sentences and called the rest of the lair to the room, April was still red eyed and Casey was more paler then before and Splinter looked much older so Leatherhead had to help the poor rat, Mikey had pretty much gone mute and was still crying. He was now having one of Leo's spare masks tied to his belt to make sure his brother was still there with him.
Raph letted go off Donnie who sent his fist in the wall...Literally braking the entire wall and his fist was unharmed, scaring his family and friends to death...Donnie only did it when he was killing pissed, which he was.
"Donnie? Care to share what's going on before you brake the whole wall?" Mikey finally asked and leaned against the door frame, he felt like this was a waste of time. "Cobra was working for the Shredder...He's probably there by now too and is getting his rewards from Shredder"
Raph suddenly remembered what Cobra had said to Leo during their fight that he had got the bomb to get rid of Leo...but Cobra was completely unharmed when he entered the sub...so what happened to Leo?...If the bomb really blowed up, leaving Cobra unharmed and Leo's gear...
"Leo grabbed Cobra down the water right?" He asked and donnie looked and his only remaining big brother in confusion, like he didn't understood what Raph was talking about "Ya...why?" He asked but Raph had already turned to Mikey "Where there any cameras in the area Mikey?" Out of all four of them, Mikey sometimes had photographic memory which always came in handy. The youngest nodded and seemed to count on his fingers "There were four...One pointing at the water, Dock 7...warehouse 10"
Raph looked at him with his mouth slightly open and Donnie dropped the papers he was holding "You even remembered that?!" He asked while Raph had lost his voice, Mikey nodded and Donnie started to hack the cameras around the said dock warehouse. It took over an hour to find what they were looking for since the dock were so busy a day and even at the night until they found the right time when it happened, all thou it was just blurry black figures but they could just make out the small red dots in the middle one of the blurs.
Donnie did everything he could to fix the picture so that they could see what was going on, until he they could clearly see how Leo grabbed Cobra, ripped of the bomb and how he jumped into the water with a tight grip of Cobra throat. The bomb exploded just as they hit the water but it was just a meter behind them but it had been close enough to where Leo and dived, the force could have turned his mask to it's current look and the swords were heavy. Raph pieced it all together that Leo must have dropped his swords so that they would drag him down and the mask was probably blocking his eye view.
"See what else you can find...I'm gonna go check something..." Raph mumbled and left the lair, It took some time to find the right dock and warehouse since Raph had already forgot about both and then looked around very closely. When he was done on the docks he took a closer look under water and lighted his flash-light, after resurfacing about three times he found something just four meter form where he had found Leo's gear...A grid that had a dent on the outside indicating that it had been kicked inwards, revealing an underwater sewer pipe. Raph followed his new lead and soon he came to a place where he could surface and moved his flash light around, he recognized the tunnel but couldn't remember which tunnel when he was kicked from behind.
Raph hit the wall and yelped in surprise when a shady figure rammed it's fist in the wall behind Raph, it had been aiming for Raph head but he moved just in time. He grabbed his sais and tossed them both, nailing the figure in the wall by the wrists before he snatched the flash-light and pointed it at humanoid turtle. At first Raph thought it was new turtle but soon he saw the grassy green skin, dark brown eyes and several burn marks...One making it's appearance on the turtle's face close to its eyes, if it had been closer it would have made him blind.
"Who are you?!" Raph demanded and walked closer to the turtle, his own heart was ramming in his chest.
"Remind me never...to jump at you from behind again"
The voice made Raph drop the flash-light and his racing heart stopped dead, the flash-light rolled on the spot before stopping at the turtle again but his time Raph knew who it was...
"Oh my god...LEO?!"
who the shell do you take me for? Shredder?!
of course i wouldn't kill Leo when you all are going nuts with this story! xD and hey! a Christmas present to you all!
Merry Christmas ~ TMNTEmi
