Back at the Lair...

April, Donnie and after a long work out Raph and Mikey were planning Leo's escape, when they heard a crash from Master Splinter's room.

"What the Shell?" yelled Raph as they all hurried to Splinter's room to see what happened. Just as they were about to barge into the room Splinter came staggering out.

"SENSEI!!" all three turtles exclaimed.

"My sons, your brother is in grave danger. He is losing himself. His mind is in turmoil. I tried to reach him, but he is in such a state of despair that I cannot. You must go to him now. He will not survive if you do not. I do not want to put you all in danger, but if you do not get Leonardo away from the Shredder tonight, I do not think Leonardo will survive." Said Splinter in a wary voice.

"Sensei, drink the tea Mikey just made for you, and please calm down and tell us exactly what happened." Said Donnie.

"I was meditating hoping to feel something from Leonardo. I contacted him, but he did not know I was there. His mind was in turmoil like I stated. I was about to send a direct link to him, when his mind exploded with a mixture of emotions. Anger, fear, turmoil, but most of all I felt despair great great sadness. I tried to calm him to contact him, but the only thing I came back with was strong words, "This can not be real, and he is not dead." You must help him my sons. I do not think that Leonardo will survive the night if we do not help him." Said Splinter.

"This can't be real and he is not dead. I wonder who Leo thinks is dead?" asked Donnie.

"Who cares you heard what Sensei said he don't have a lot of time. We need you to get your plans together and lets go." Said Raph in a hurry.

"We don't really have a plan yet, Raph. April says there is so much security. She can by pass some things, but who is to say what is really in there?" said Donnie.

"I don't care. We go in with April disconnecting things as we go. We deal with whatever else is there as it comes. Now get your gear together, we are saving Leo NOW!" Said Raph.

"You must take care my sons. We do not know what the Shredder has done to Leonardo. Caution is best Raphael. I do not want to see any of you hurt, but I do want Leonardo back here as you all say "IN ONE PIECE" but you all must remember your training. Go my sons and be careful." Said Splinter.

"We will Sensei, and Leo will be with us too. Nothing will get in my way." Said Raph.

"We'll get him Sensei. Alive and hopefully well." Said Donnie.

"No problemo Sensei. Bye April keep in contact." Said Mikey

All three turtles left the lair to start their trip to the Shredder's Fortress. No one said a word each had his own thoughts each hoping Leo was ok. This was going to be a tough one, but they knew Leo was alive and with Leo alive nothing was going to stop them from trying to save him, except maybe a big thing called Shredder...

I love leaving people in suspense. This is what everyone else does to me so I love being Evil. More to come tomorrow. Thanks again for all your reviews.
