:Few minutes earlier:

Leo was laughing along with the kids. He never imagined that he'd be having so much fun with humans!!!!!!!!

He had completely forgot about his brothers. The group had been so funny and so supportive, that his brothers just faded out of his mind.

Suddenly, one kid who was standing a bit further from them, and had a missing arm, pointed up to the sky with his other hand. "THE ANGEL'S ARE COMING!!!!!!!!"

He yelled, and everyone looked up immediately.

Leo could've laughed. The bolt of light was so beautiful and so calming. He had never experienced something like that in his whole life! Leo saddened. His brothers had been fun when they were young. But since he was the eldest, he needed to grow up faster to help Splinter. He still played with them, but he spent some of his extra time helping Splinter here and there.

Then came the last few months. His brothers had started to realize that Leo wasn't really the brother that they remembered, and had started to drift apart from him. So now, they looked at Leo as another parent who wanted to control them.

That was what really fueled the last few months.

Suddenly Leo realized that the bolt of light had hit the ground and light suddenly flashed through them all. It was so bright that Leo had to shield his eyes. But at the same time, the light was so calming. It beckoned him and called to him, made Leo want to go to it. It was almost like a drug.

And as the angels came into view, Leo knew. The Gates of Heaven were calling for him. It was time.

He could hear the kids next to him shift as they watched. They were impatient, Leo knew. So was he!

The place was so beautiful, so calming, so free! Free of everything. Pain, suffering, you name it.

Suddenly, one of the angels opened its arms, as a gesture for the nearest child to come to it.

The child gasped but obeyed. Slowly he walked to the angel. The angel smiled down at him and hinted for him to go through the door. The child looked back once, smiled, and passed through the door, disappearing from view.

The angel smiled back at them before nodding. The other children slowly approached the Gate, before one by one, they passed through the door.

Chloe, Rebecca, and Leo held back. Chloe looked back at them. She smiled. "I'll wait for you Rebecca! Oh," She said, looking at Leo. She smiled. "Don't be afraid!" She whispered to him, before running to join the last few people at the door.

Rebecca smiled. "Chloe was the one who found me. She kept me company for a few months before offering to take me. I refused, but she stayed with me anyways. Then, while I was dying, Chloe appeared and offered to take me again. That time I accepted." Rebecca looked at Leo. "Then I met you!"

Leo laughed gently, before realizing that the angel, who was silently standing by the other angel, was staring at them.

Leo suddenly felt panic. The angels were human, and he was well...not human. Would they let him through?

The angel looked at the other, who was busy helping the last few children through, before making its way over to them.

Rebecca smiled shyly as it approached them. The angel smiled gently at them, before looking at Leo.

Leo gulped. Why was the angel staring at him so? Did it just realize that he wasn't human? Fear gripped his heart as he saw the angel approach them even more. Maybe it was coming to tell him to go home...

But suddenly, the angel held out its hand towards Leo. Leo blinked before looking up at the angel. It was smiling at him, almost as if silently telling him that it was all right.

The fear Leo felt disappeared immediately. Leo smiled shyly as he took the angel's hand.

:With the turtles' and rat's viewpoint:

Raph almost lost it when the angels began to lead the children through the Gates. It was all he could do to hold himself back from running there, grabbing Leo, and dragging him back home. But he knew that that would only make things worse. Much worse.

But things got worse all by themselves, Raph figured, as he watched one of the angels near his brother. He began to growl. Get the shell away from my brother!!! Raph thought as he gripped the ground harder.

He felt Mikey and Donny squirm next to him as they all watched the angel extend its hand to Leo.

But the real shocker came when Leo TOOK the hand.

AND SMILED.

"That's it." Raph muttered under his breath, before jumping out from their hiding place. Splinter reached to grab him, but Raph ducked under his reach and ran to Leo.

:Back to Leo:

Leo whirled around as he heard something running towards him. Both the angel and Rebecca turned as well to look toward where the sound was heard.

Leo gasped. It was Raph. Then two seconds later, Mikey and Donny shot out as well, following Raph.

Then Splinter appeared from behind the bushes, looking sad.

Leo cocked his head. Why were they here? Why weren't they off celebrating that he was dead? Or did they still need a maid?

Suddenly, Leo felt the angel shift and before he could even blink, the angel moved in front of him, as if shielding him from his brothers.
