I do not own the TMNT.

So you like the start. Good because this will take awhile to conclude. I want to hear from more people or I won't let you know what happens. Just kidding, but please review. Oh, and thanks to Becca T. for pointing out my spelling blunder.

TTFN!

Chapter 2

"LEO!"

A set of nunchucks hit Katsuro and knocked him backwards just as a familiar figure shoved me out of the way of danger. In horror my other two brothers and I saw the beam of light slam into our baby brother and knock him off the roof we were all standing on.

"Mikey!" we screamed as one.

Katsuro's tumble seemed to have put him and his spells out of commission because I found myself unfrozen and rushing to the roof edge. All I could think about was that this was my fault. I should not have allowed myself to be captured so easily. The pounding of feet behind me let me know that Raph and Donnie had also been freed from the wall they had been trapped on. To our relief, the drop off from the edge Mikey had fallen from was only to a lower section of the building rather than a straight drop to the streets below. However, the drop was still a good twenty to twenty-five foot drop and was covered in shadow so we could not see Mikey's position.

"Do you see him?!" Donnie said urgently.

Shaking my head in the negative, we quickly leapt down and spread out to find Mikey. I called his name several times, but he did not answer.

"Bros get ovah here! You's not going to believe this!" Raphael hollered.

Donnie and I ran over to where Raph knelt next to a form. He was still as a stone and seemed shocked at what he was looking at. My heart thudded in my chest expecting the worst. As we came upon the scene, Donnie and I stared in shock. The form was not Michelangelo, but a young human boy of about fifteen or sixteen lying unconscious on his side and not wearing any clothes. The only word to describe the human was beautiful. His skin was as pale as starlight and he looked to be delicate of bone judging from his slender build. His face was remarkably handsome with high cheekbones and thick eyelashes. His most amazing feature was his long, silky-looking hair that went far down his back and was a soft, emerald color.

"Oh my God," Donnie gasped holding up an orange bandanna he had picked up from beside the boy, "Mikey?"

"What?! This kid can't be Mikey!" Raph said, "Can he?"

Kneeling down next to the boy, I retrieved Mikey's second nunchuck from the boy's slack hand. Raphael stared first at the weapon and then at me in shock. This human was our baby brother Mikey. Donnie, always the rational and scientific minded one, quickly surveyed Mikey's injuries. He then covered Mikey with a sheet that a human had placed over his or her plants that were stored on the roof and gently picked Mikey up in his arms. Our little brother lay limp in Donnie's grip and seemed so small.

"Leo, we have to get him to the lair. We don't know how badly hurt he is and he needs to be out of this cold," Donatello said.

"Yes," I said snapping out of my daze, "You take Mikey home Donnie and tend to his injuries. Raph and I will go see to Katsuro and find out what he did to Michelangelo."

"Your damn straight we will," Raph growled.

Mocking laughter from above caused all three of us to whirl around and look up to the roof edge we dropped down from. Raph and I positioned ourselves defensively in front of Donnie and our unconscious brother.

"So I cleansed the youngest and not the eldest," Katsuro said, "This has set me back greatly. It will be some time before I will be able to cleanse the proper turtle."

"What the hell do ya mean by 'cleansing?'" Raph demanded.

"Do not be so quick to speak so disrespectfully to me scum. I have cleansed his being of the mutant aspect of his mutation. This is what your brother would have been if he had been born human."

Katsuro leapt down and landed neatly in front of a shocked Donatello and gazed down on Michelangelo. Donnie backed away and held Mikey closer to his chest.

"Get away from us," Donnie growled.

I quickly got in between Katsuro and my brothers with weapons ready.

"Oh well. I wanted a warrior, but this being is lovely. I will take him for my concubine," Katsuro said.

"I do not think so!" I growled shocked, "You will not lay one finger on my brother!"

"You got that straight ya #$$### pervert!" Raph said, "Stay away from my little bro!"

"Matters not," Katsuro said seeming to sway slightly, "I tire now and must rest. You can have the boy for now, but know that he and you will be mine in the end."

In a flash of light and smoke Katsuro was gone leaving us half-blinded for a moment. My eyes focused guiltily on my baby brother's still form, without Katsuro we could not get Mikey back to normal.

"Let's go guys," I said sighing, "Mikey is starting to shiver. We will travel only by shadow and if we go through the sewer rather than rooftops, Katsuro shouldn't be able to follow us since our battle has left him weakened."

I quickly retrieved Mikey's other nunchuck and we headed down into the sewers. I stayed on full alert all the way home. The one thought that kept running through my mind was, "How were we going to break this to Splinter?"

To be continued.
