DISCLAIMER: I don't own the TMNT

Chapter 6: Let's go!

Leo stood up from his chair and yelled "Mikey! Come here!"

Mikey rushed in. "What? What is it??"

Mike looked around, seeing that no one was hurt. "Dude, why'd you rush me in here?"

Leo laughed. "Because it's the only way you would have came in a matter of seconds."

Mike looked at Leo. "…not cool, dude. So anyway, what do you want?"

"Don came up with this plan where basically I go out and spy on the Foot, and follow them back to where Raphael is located. Meanwhile you and Donnie stay here with Casey." Leo explained.

Mike thinks about it. "Sounds good to me, but what if you get caught, Leo?"

"I don't plan on getting caught. This mission is a complete or fails kind. And we need Raphael back, the Foot could be planning something on us." Leo said.

"Yeah, Mikey, the Shredder needs to be taught a lesion for what he did to Master Splinter two years ago." Don said.

**

Later Leo is in his room preparing himself to go out to find his brother Raphael. Don walked in.

"You ready, Leo?" Don asked.

Leo looked at Don, "Yeah, there's no going back now. I need to do this, we can't afford to lose someone else who we love…"

Don looked down and a tear falls from his cheek. Leo puts his hand on Don's shoulder. "Sorry, bro, about how I was talking to you earlier…"

"Don't apologize, Leo, I needed that wake up call…just without April- -"

"I know," Leo replied, "but you'll make it, everyone will make it."

Don looked on Leo's wall, and there hanging was the katana blade that killed Splinter.

"What do you plan on doing with that katana blade?" Don asked.

Leo looked at the katana blade. "I don't know yet… I hate seeing the site of it…but I want to use that katana when Shredder's time come, when I get a chance to duel him, revenge Master Splinter!"

Don looked concerned. "Leo… calm down…"

"No!" Leo interrupted. "Don, I will never forgive myself to what happened to Master Splinter… never."

"But it wasn't your fault… Shredder killed him." Don said.

"No, Don… I did. It was MY blade that went through him, it was my fault my grip isn't good enough to hold on to my very own weapon. If I didn't drop my weapon, it wouldn't have caused Master Splinter to drop his cane, the cane I slipped on, the reason why I wasn't there when Shredder killed our master!" Leo began to get tears in his eyes.

Don hugged Leo. "Listen to me, it wasn't your fault. You blame yourself way too much around here, when you know you did your best… trust me, wouldn't you think I would know this my experience?"

Leo looked at Don. "I know…but I saw him die, Don. I saw the one person who taught us everything we know in life die before my very eyes!"

"Leo, he may not be here with us physically, but he's in here." Don pointed to Leo head.

"He's never going to leave us, never. Sure he can't teach us anything new, but we know all the things he did teach us, and with that knowledge we will have Master Splinter around, to guide through the rest of our lives." Don said.

Leo wiped his eyes, getting the tears off of him.

Don looks at Leo. "Oh yeah!" Don reached in his belt. "Here, it's a turtle communicator. Use it to tell me and Mikey what's up."

Leo took the turtle communicator. "Thanks, Donnie."

Don smiled. "Hey, what are bro's for, huh?"

Don walked out of Leo's room and heads to the room with Casey and Mike in it.

**

"Hey, Mikey," Don walked in and sat down next to Mike. "How's our patient doing?"

Mike looked at Casey. "Well… nothing has changed really, at least the dudes' still breathing."

"I'm sure he's going to be okay, Mikey." Don said.

"I hope so, bro. I kinda miss the sound of glass shattering at your workshop." Mike said to Don.

"Haha, very funny, Mikey." Don replied.

"What? I thought it was funny." Mike said with a smile.

"Heh, Mikey, you think everything is funny in some sick way." Don replied.

**

Leo looked to see if anyone is watching his actions. As no one is watching, Leo switched the katana blade that killed Splinter with a new one he has been using for the past two years.

**

Leo walked in the room with everyone in it. "Well, guys, I'm going to search for Raphael."

Don and Mike stood up. Mike walked to Leo and hugged him. "Good luck, bro, I know you'll find him. Hurry and get back home."

Mike backed off and Don hugged Leo as well. "Good luck and remember; always leave the turtle communicator on, unless you area near the Foot, then you better turn it off."

"Yeah… See you guys when I get back." Leo said and then walked out of the lair.
