Another story. Smile.

Umm...this one's a bit weird. It's kind of like an AU, but not really. Basically it takes place after Episode 32: Secret Origins, Part 1.

Umm....just forget that the rest of the episodes ever happened, 'kay?

Agh...you'll see later on.

Warning: turtle angst and at the same time turtle silliness.

Disclaimer: THE TURTLES DO NOT BELONG TO ME. I'd be a millionaire if they did. Sigh.

.............................................................................................

Leo sighed and rubbed his forehead. 'How did they ever get into this again?' He thought to himself as he and the others faced the Foot and Baxter Stockman, who seemed to have joined up with the Shredder once again. 'That guy never seems to learn does he?' Leo thought before drawing his swords, and the other three turtles followed his example by drawing their own weapons.

"You guys wanna dance?" Leo heard Raph growl. "Let's dance."

With that, the Foot attacked.

....................................(After five minutes of intensive fighting. Yeah, still can't do fight scenes. Sorry. Still suck as a writer. Use imagination 'kay?)

Leo paused for a breather and took the time to survey the scene. Donny and Mikey seemed to be doing fine, and Raph as well. But then a faint glint captured his attention.

Baxter Stockman, for some strange reason, had not joined the fighting. But now Leo understood why. The mad scientist (author note: LOL) was pointing a gun towards them! Leo followed where the gun was pointing with his gaze and to his horror, it was pointing straight at Raphael!

"My god! Raph!" He yelled, just as Stockman fired the gun. Leo, in panic, took off in a run, and jumped in front of Raph.

"Wha??!!!" Was all Raph got to say before he heard a bang, and a bright red beam was shot at him. Stunned, Raph didn't jump out of the way, but closed his eyes and waited for the beam to hit him.

But the beam never did hit him. Instead, a big green lump did.

It took Raph a few seconds to comprehend what had happened. "Shit! Leo!!!" He yelled, cradling his elder brother in his arms.

Donatello and Michaelangelo both rushed over to him. "Raph! What happened??"

Raph looked up at Don's worried face. "The idiot took a shot that was meant for me!"

Don took one look at Leo, and said, "We've got to retreat!"

"What??"

"You heard me! Mikey, Raph, grab Leo and go! I'll cover the rear!"

Raph was about to argue, but a groan from Leo changed his mind. Grabbing Leo, he and Mikey began to run as fast as they could back towards the building where they were staying.

[Recap: The Shredder turned out to be alive and the turtles had decided to seek refuge with the Utroms for the time remaining. Meanwhile, they were helping the Utroms fix the teleporting machine so that the Utroms could finally go home. April and Casey were there as well, since they had no where else to go.]

Don kicked a few of the Foot back before rushing after the others. "Hurry up!" He called to them, looking back now and then at the enemy. To his surprise, the Foot stopped following them, and seemed to be LETTING them escape.

"What the??" Raph asked, as he noticed that as well. Don shook his head. "Never mind. Let's just get Leo to a safe place!"

.................................(meanwhile)

It was very dark. But Leo didn't care. He was in so much pain. It felt like his whole body was on fire. He didn't know what that beam was. But all he knew was that it was giving him great pain. Leo groaned.

Suddenly he felt somebody grab him. Correction. Somebodies grab him.

Leo suddenly couldn't take it anymore. The pain was too much.

Next thing he knew was darkness.

................................................................................................

Don't worry, Leo didn't die. He just passed out. Can't have one of my characters die in the first chapter can't I?

Anyways, this is just the prologue. I've got to start the story somehow right?

R&R Please!

Don't worry, I'm working on my other stories as well.
