Echo and Narcissus

Part 8

Disclaimer: Don't own 'em.

A/N- BIG THANKS to those reviewers again, I finally reached my 8 chapter goal, all thanks to you. I might ask your help in later chapters, I'm starting to lose where this story is going. Big surprise in this chapter though, along with some Raph centric a little later on.

Leo, Mikey, and Raph raced out of the dojo, Master Splinter bolted out of his room and blurred past them. The four mutants raced after each other until they reached their destination.

'NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!' Another scream erupted from behind Donatello's door.

'Curse these confounded locks!' Splinter said quietly in his head. Gabrielle was now wide awake and sitting on the couch, watching the goings on, her eyes wide in shock. Raph approached the door and slid his sai down the right center split in the door. A small click told them that it was unlocked; Splinter opened the door and raced into the room. Donatello was tossing and turning in his bed, a cold sweat sliding down his face, eyes squinting in fear.

'Donatello, my son, wake up!' Master Splinter called to him, in a quiet but firm voice, he shook his shoulder gently and Don slowly calmed down.

His eyes snapped open; he sat straight up and looked around him. Leo, Mikey, Raph and Master Splinter were all gathered around him, concern was evident in their eyes. Gabrielle came and stood next to Don's door, as Splinter put a paw on Don's shoulder,

'What happened, my son?' He inquired

'I had a nightmare, I think' Don said quietly looking at his father and brothers

'A nightmare? You haven't had a nightmare like that since you were a kid, what happened in this nightmare?' Leo asked, pulling up the chair from Don's desk

'Well, first of all we were all doing normal patrol.' He paused; Raph and Mikey also took a seat,

Dream Sequence

Raph, Leo, Mikey and Don crossed the rooftops doing their normal nightly routine. They were bounding across the nights sky while remaining completely engulfed by the shadows.

Leo held up a hand as he and his brothers came to a halt across from a Sony store, some dark figures were quietly approaching the store front. (Yes the Sony store will play a future part in the story, I know that for sure) One stepped forward and raised a large rock to the window. The alarm bells were ringing for a brief amount of time; one figure slipped inside and deadened the sound immediately, soon all the figures slipped inside the store

'Are we just gonna sit here?' Raph asked his older brother defiantly

'Yes, we don't know what they are doing just yet,' Came Leo's curt reply, keeping his eyes fixated on the Sony store window

'Leo, they're breaking into a store, is that not wrong?' Mikey piped up, Leo's eyes sent daggers into him as he returned his gaze to the dark store. There was a slight scuffling noise coming from inside, then shouts of anger erupted into the nights sky

'What the heck do ya think you're doing!' Came the voice of an elderly man, struggling with his property

'We're robbin' the place, old an, what does it look like?' Came a gruff voice of a young teen,

'No! Please don't do this,' the old man called out again,

'Aaawww shut it old man. Half this stuff is ours; you don't mess with the Purple Dragons'

Sirens of police cars soon entered the night. Cruisers pulled out from around the corner and screeched to a halt in front of the Sony store, a tall man came out from his cruiser and put a mega-phone to his lips

'You are surrounded come out with your hands up,' As the four turtles looked closer, the man was Oroku Saki, Karai came out of the drivers door and stood next to Saki.

'This is getting' weirder by the second,' Raph commented under his breath, the other three turtles shared his confusion. A sudden figure flew across the moon. A young girl, with white wings, sped down from overhead and landed with a graceful thump, in between the Sony store and Oroku Saki

'You have done enough damage,' she called out to him, a slight but confident waver in her voice

'What are you talking about, you freak of nature?'

'Corrupting the innocent with your lies is one thing but now you plan to deceive the one chance this world has for survival'

'You are still losing me, abomination to the alive '

'The turtles, as if you don't know, damaging their friendship by placing a low blow to their stability, loyalty and brotherhood is just disgusting. But let me point out to you, that it will never work, their faith in each other is unshakeable.'

'We shall see,'

End of dream

'Wow that was weird. But what was with the yelling?' Mikey asked

'Well, a little after that dream, I had another dream that the Foot had found our home and they killed everyone.' Don replied calmly, as though the death of his family was nothing to get worked up over.

'What does it mean? I know I've never had a dream like that before,' Leo asked thoughtfully, Master Splinter nodded in agreement

'This dream is far too vivid to not have a hidden meaning.' The turtles, Master Splinter and Gabrielle all sat in silence.
