REMEMBER TURTLES NOT MINE!!!!
The Lair, Leo's Mind..."Give up Turtle you will not win." Said Shredder as he kicked Leo to the ground
"I'll never give up. I will take you down Shredder, and if I have to die in the process so be it, but you will never hurt my family again." Said Leo from the ground. He quickly got up and came after Shredder again. He kicked him in the chest and Shredder fell down. "Looks like you can get beat after all. You won't win. I won't allow it."
"Foolish turtle one little kick won't stop me. You can't kill that which is already dead." Said Shredder, as he got up and attacked Leo again sending him to the ground.
"He's right. How do I kill something that is already dead? But, he's in my mind, and in my mind he has a body, and I'm not really here, I'm back at the lair. So maybe he can die." Thought Leo. He had to get up. He had to attack Shredder with everything that he had. He ran at the shredder and kicked him again in the chest he then did a roundhouse and kicked him in the face. He needed to get his weapons again; he was too strong to beat him with just hands and feet...
The Lair...
"MASTER SPLINTER!!!" screamed Mikey.
"Geez, Mikey wake the dead why don't you." Said Raph.
"Oh, god do you think I did?" asked Mikey.
"Shell for brains." Whispered Raph as he walked to Leo's room. Raph opened the door and was shocked. Leo was on his bed twisting and turning and bleeding. Splinter had his eyes glued to Leo and was holding Leo's hand.
"Sensei, what's going on? I thought you treated his wounds." Said Raph.
"Your brother is fighting an even bigger battle within. There is nothing I can do. I tried everything, but the Shredder is blocking me." Said Splinter angrily.
"There's nothing you can do, Sensei?" asked a frightened voice behind Raph.
"No, my son, there is nothing I can do. This battle is between Leonardo and Shredder, I have tried everything and nothing will let me help." Said Splinter.
"But, you always make it better." Said Mikey.
"I wish it were so my son, but there are some battles bigger then me." Said Splinter sadly.
"Will Leo make it?" asked Donnie.
"I do not know my son. He is badly hurt and the beatings continue to manifest on him. I am trying to give him my strength but I do not know." Said Splinter.
"No, he won't die. There has to be something we can do. I won't stand by and watch my brother die. He can't we need him." Raph cried. He turned around and slammed his fist against Leo's wall and knocked down a picture. Raph picked up the picture and looked at it. It was of all of them a couple of years ago, Mikey, Donnie, Master Splinter and Himself. They all looked so happy, arms around each other smiling to the camera. Leo was not in the picture, but Raph knew that without Leo there would be no picture. There would be no happiness. "NO! You will not die Leo you hear me. You fight. You fight and you kick his ass." Screamed Raph. "Please bro, come back to us. We need you.... I need you."
Donnie was besides Mikey standing in the doorway looking over at Leo and said, "Yeah, bro. You can kick his ass you did it before do it again, we need you."
"Please, Leo don't die, I don't want you to die." Mikey cried on Donnie's shoulder.
Leo's Mind...
Leo didn't know how much more he could take he was kicking him, punching him doing everything he could but Shredder just kept coming. He needed his weapons. Where were his weapons? He turned around quickly to check and got knocked down by Shredder. Shredder was then on him. Kicking, punching, slicing into Leo. "No, I can't let him win. I have to fight, I can't let me family be next." Thought Leo, but he didn't know if he could hold on...
The Lair...
Leo's body was again showing bruising. Leo's breath was coming out in gasps and fresh claw Marks were made on Leo's face and plastron.
"NO LEO!!! FIGHT DAMN YOU FIGHT. IF YOU GIVE UP I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU. NOW FIGHT PLEASE..." screamed Raph...
Leo's Mind...
Leo was getting beat bad. He turned his head a bit, and caught a faint glitter of something. HIS SWORD, if he could just reach it... He had to get Shredder off of him and get his sword. He gathered what little strength he had and punched the Shredder in the chest hard. Shredder stumbled off Leo and that was Leo's opportunity. He rolled to the side and grabbed his sword.
"You found your weapon. No matter. I will still win. You are beaten already. Your little sword will do nothing to help you!!" said Shredder.
Leo held the sword in one hand and held his side with the other. It felt like his whole body was on fire. Moving was painful, breathing was painful, but letting the Shredder win and have his family was more painful then anything. He would not let Shredder win. Leo attacked. He swung his sword and Shredder blocked. Leo attacked again and yet the Shredder still blocked.
"YOU CAN NOT WIN TURTLE!" laughed Shredder.
Leo had enough, he could hardly stand, and he was bleeding and hurt. "THIS ENDS NOW SHREDDER!!" screamed Leo. And Leo attacked with everything he had. He sliced and kicked and had Shredder down.
"NO THIS CAN NOT BE!" screamed Shredder.
"You lost Shredder, and now you will stay DEAD!" Leo brought his sword down and through Shredders heart. He then got up and looked at Shredder. "Your dead." He whispered and fell to his knees. Shredder didn't move, he didn't talk, he didn't laugh, he was dead, just like Leo said. "Thank God." Leo fell to the ground and closed his eyes.
The Lair...
Leo stopped gasping for breath. Leo stopped moving around on his bed, Leo just stopped all together.
"Sensei?" asked Raph fearfully. Just as everyone thought Leo was dead Leo drew in a deep breath of air, and started breathing on his own.
"LEO!" screamed Raph. Leo opened his eyes and looked at his brother.
"He's dead." Whispered Leo. "He won't hurt us any more."
"You did it bro. You did it." Said Mikey relieved.
"I don't feel so good, it hurts so much." Said Leo.
"You must rest my son. Donatello and myself will take care of your injuries. Nothing will harm you now." Said Splinter.
"Thank you, Sensei." Said Leo and he drifted off to sleep.
"Sensei, will he really be ok?" asked Raph.
"I do not sense any evil. I do believe that Leonardo has taking care of the Shredder." Said Splinter. "Donatello, please bring some water and towels, Michelangelo please get the first ad kit." Both turtles did what they were told. Raphael walked up to his brother as Splinter got up to get some more herbs from his room.
"Hey, Leo. I'm sorry I couldn't help you. I'm glad you kicked his shell again. I thought when we couldn't help that you wouldn't make it. I was wrong, and I'm glad. Hurry up and get better bro, I miss you yelling at me." Said Raph.
Donnie, Mikey and Splinter came back in and attended to Leo. Raph was in the room staying out of the way. Before long the blood was gone and Leo was patched up. During the whole time he didn't move, but Donnie said that was his bodies way of coping with all that it endured. The days that followed had Leo still asleep and healing Donnie said it was fine and natural. Raph was getting bored sitting around. Finally 1 week later Leo woke up.
"It's about time." Said a voice from the door.
"Raph?" asked Leo uncertainly.
"Yeah its me. How you feeling?" Raph asked.
"I don't know. I feel weird. Tired, hurt, what happened?" Leo asked.
"You don't remember?" asked Raph.
"The last thing I remember, I was heading to my room to rest. Did you find the Shredder? Do you know where he is?" asked Leo as he tried to get up but fell back to the bed in pain. "What the shell happened to me?"
"Leo, you've been in this room for almost 2 weeks. You beat Shredder. You won, he can't hurt you or us again." Said Raph.
"How? I don't remember." Said Leo confused.
"You fought him in your mind, and you won, well that's what you tell us anyway." And Raph began to tell Leo everything that happened.
"WOW! So, he really is gone Raph?" asked Leo.
"Yeah, bro you did good." Said Raph as he laid his hand on Leo shoulder giving him a friendly squeeze.
"How about I get the guys in here. They've been really worried." Said Raph.
"Yeah, that's good. Hey Raph?" said Leo.
"Yeah bro." Raph said as he turned back to face Leo.
"Thanks." Leo said.
"What are brothers for?" said Raph. Raph opened the door and yelled that Leo was awake. Mikey came running in followed by Donnie and Splinter walked not far behind. Their family was whole again, and with Leo's strength and courage Shredder was beating again. Hopefully this time he will stay dead.
