Chapter 5: Raph Returns/ One Mutant Down

Disclaimer: Y'all know. Why do I keep writing this again?

Intro: Leo's POV:

Surprise, surprise. Raphael had gotten himself into another mess. And of course got the rest of us in it too. Sheri's upset, Raph is gone, and I'm getting worried myself. Why would Raphael do this? Why would he want to be in this war? I will ask him...if I find him. I mean, when I find him. I've got to stay positive... for everyone's sake.

Raph was sitting under a pier staring out into the ocean. It was so pretty with the moon glittering on its surface. Sheri said it calmed her down and it was working for him too. He sat on a rock and his feet dangled an inch above the sand. Every now and then a wave would barely tickle his toes, but he never smiled or anything, just stared.

"What are you doing?" somebody asked. Raph turned and saw Leonardo standing there. He turned his head back to the ocean.

"You ain't gonna get me to go home, bro." Raph said staring into the ocean.

Leo's shell-cell rang. "Hello?" He answered.

Don's voice could be heard by Leo and Raph. "You found Raphael yet?" Don asked.

Leo looked at Raph and then turned his attention back to his conversation with Don.

"No. Not yet. Keep looking though. He has to be in New York City, somewhere." Leo said and hung up.

Raph looked at him. "Why did you do that?" Raph asked.

"I don't know." Leo answered.

"For once our 'Great Leader' doesn't have an answer." Raph teased. Leo smiled at this. He didn't want to get angry and get his red clad brother angry. He sat beside Raph on the rock.

"You know, you have Master Splinter really worried. And scared. Last time I saw him, tears were on his face. He had a look to him. A look of determination and sadness...and maybe a little anger." Leo said. "I'd never seen him like that before." He added quietly.

Raph sighed. "How is Sheri? Is she okay?" He asked.

Leo was surprised at his question. "She was really upset too. But only a single tear came down her cheek. Why do you ask?" Leo said.

"No reason, just wonderin'." Raph answered. Leo wondered, but didn't ask. The last thing he needed was Raph angry.

"Sensei isn't going to give up. He's gonna keep looking. You might as well come home. You can't hide and run forever." Leo said.

Raph knew that this was true. He just didn't want to face it.

"Alright. I'll go home." Raph said. With that, he and Leo left to the lair.

The lair

Everyone was still out looking for Raph. Everyone except Splinter. He was on the meditating mat. "Where are you, my son?" He asked, tears coming down his face. Leo gently shoved Raph in the dojo area.

"I'm right here, Sensei." Raph answered. "My son! You are alright!" Splinter ran to his son and hugged him happily.

Splinter stepped back and looked at his alright son for a moment. Then he hit his son with his walking stick.

"Don't ever do that again! You had us worried! And why would you partake in something so life threatening and dangerous!" Master Splinter asked.

"I don't know, Sensei." Raph answered.

"No matter. We're leaving. Leonardo! Call the others, Ms. O'Neil, and Mr. Jones. We are going to Mr. Jone's country house and staying there until this conflict has solved itself." Master Splinter said.

Leo reached for his shell-cell. Right before he dialed in Don's number, his shell-cell rang. This time Mikey's voice was heard by Leo, Raph, and Master Splinter.

"Leo, you need to get the shell up here on Brooklyn Avenue!" Mikey said, fear in his voice.

"What's the matter?" Leo asked.

"Well, everyone took that calling card from the mutants seriously. All the New Yorkers have guns and are watching out for mutants. While Sheri was flying, looking for Raph, she was shot with a stun gun. Don is already here and we're hiding behind a dumpster, while people are trying to shoot at us!" Mikey said hurriedly.

"Did Don forget the remote to the Battle Shell?"

"Unfortunately, yes." Mikey answered.

"How is Sheri?" Leo asked.

"She's unconscious."

"Is there any other wounds?" Leo asked persistently.

"She's got a bad bruise on her right side, where the ribs are. Don said that's probably where she was shot. And he also thinks she might have a broken rib or two. Good thing I was searching on Brooklyn Avenue also." Michelangelo answered.

"Okay. We'll be up there ASAP." Leo said and hung up.

"Hurry. We must not keep them waiting." Master Splinter said. Leo went to the infirmary and got the medical kit. Just in case. Then they all went to the new and improved Battle Shell 2 and drove to Brooklyn Avenue. Leo at the wheel.

Brooklyn Avenue

"They went this way!" An angry man shouted to the mob. There were at least 20 people in the mob and they were walking down the dead end alley where Mikey, Don, and Sheri were. The mob was getting closer and closer to them.

"You mutant scum ain't gonna take over our city!" another man shouted as he shot a trashcan. The mob was closer and their bullets were getting closer and closer to hitting our heroes.

"If I live through this, I'll never want to shoot a gun, ever." Mikey whispered behind the dumpster. His hands over his head.

They heard a screeching of wheels and yelling from the mob as the Battle Shell 2 drove up to them.

"Hurry and get in!" Leo yelled to his bros. They grabbed Sheri and came in through the back and shut the doors tight. Raph took the wheel and Don helped Leo bandage Sheri.

On the way, they stopped at April's apartment. On the way to saving Mikey, Don, and Sheri, Raph had called April and Casey and told them that they were leaving and about Sheri. Casey was at April's so it was easier to get them and go.

They were leaving New York for it to handle its own problems. They were almost there. Raph had taken a short cut down an unfamiliar street. As they were about to leave the limits of New York City, someone...or something stopped the Battle Shell 2.

To be continued...(Dun Dun Dun!)

A/N: RR please! I'd greatly appreciate it.

Mikey-burps-There's one thing I don't like about eating.

Sheri: What's that?

Mikey: It ends too soon.

Sheri-groans- You'll be eating again in about 20 minutes.

Mikey: So? That's a long time.

Sheri-slaps forehead and mumbles "Oh my God..."-
