Ch 9 Saving Leo

Michelangelo opened his eyes and saw that he was near the docks. He saw Fishface, Dog-Pound, Tiger Claw and Shredder. But to his horror he saw Leonardo was also there. His oldest brother was on his knees, panting heavily. "Now you may finish him," Shredder said. Michelangelo's eyes went wide in horror as he watched Fishface, Tiger Claw, and Dog-Pound attacked Leonardo. But Leonardo was so enraged he quickly attacked fast and furious, downing the three mutant. But Shredder was able to sneak up behind Leonardo and knock him out cold. While Leonardo was down Shredder delivered some more blows and it wasn't long before Leonardo's body was completely covered in bruises and blood.

"They wait for him at the girl's home," Tiger Claw said.

"Bait them out and destroy them," Shredder said.

"Yes Master," Tiger Claw said, picking up Leonardo's battered and broken body.

"No!" Michelangelo cried out, his blue eyes wide with horror. "Leo!"

TMNTTMNTMTNT

"Leo!" Michelangelo cried out, sitting up in bed panting and sweating. Karai, who was sitting beside Michelangelo's bed jumped in surprise.

"Mikey what's wrong?!" Karai asked, looking at her youngest brother in concern.

"Leo!" Michelangelo cried out. "Where's Leo?! I need Leo!"

"Mikey please calm down," Karai said gently. "Leo's fine. He's just in the other room."

"Leo!" Michelangelo cried out again. Moments later Leonardo came bursting into Michelangelo's room followed closely by Donatello, Raphael and Splinter.

"Mikey!" Leonardo cried out, running over to his youngest brother and kneeling beside his bed. "What's wrong?" Michelangelo didn't answer. Instead he threw his arms around his oldest brother and held him tight. Everyone's eyes went wide in surprise and concern. "Hey Mikey its ok," Leonardo said gently as he rubbed his youngest brother's shell.

"I won't let anything bad happen to you Leo," Michelangelo said, surprising not only Leonardo but everyone else in the room as well.

"Mikey what are you..." Leonardo began. But before he could get another word out Michelangelo sprang out of bed, grabbing Leonardo by his wrist and dragging him out of the room. "Mikey what are you doing?" Leonardo demanded, trying to pull free from his brother's grip. But Michelangelo was surprising strong and Leonardo was unable to pull free.

"I won't let anything bad happen to you," Michelangelo said, his voice so low that hardly anyone heard him.

"Mikey please let go of me," Leonardo was saying. "Talk to me. What's going on with you?" But Michelangelo didn't answer as he headed into Donatello's lab, dragging Leonardo in with him. The rest of the group was following all of them trying to get Michelangelo to talk to them.

"Mikey what the Hell are ya doin'?" Raphael demanded. "Let Leo go. You're actin' like a crazy person!"

"Mikey please just talk to us," Donatello pleaded. "We're all just really worried about you."

"Michelangelo please just calm yourself," Splinter said, walking in front of Michelangelo and putting his hands on his youngest son's chest. Michelangelo stopped and stared at Splinter for a few seconds. "We are concerned about you my son," the wise old rat said in his kind and gentle voice.

"I have to keep Leo safe," Michelangelo said, his voice still really low. "I have to."

"Keep me safe from what?" Leonardo asked as he gently pulled away from Michelangelo's grip and went to stand beside Splinter.

"From them," Michelangelo said, looking around at the rest of his family, who were all giving him looks that were both of concern and confusion.

"Mikey whose them?" Karai asked. Michelangelo looked at his sister but said nothing.

"Mikey," Donatello said, putting his hand on his younger brother's shoulder. "Whose they? The Kraang?"

"We took care of those blobs of nothin'," Raphael said. "So don't worry 'bout them."

"I wasn't talking about the Kraang," Michelangelo said, sounding a bit annoyed. "I was talking about Shredder, Tiger Claw, Fishface and Dog-Pound."

"Mikey," Leonardo said with a slight laugh. "I've faced them before and I've beaten them before. You don't have to protect me from them."

"Yes I do!" Michelangelo shouted, causing everyone to jump slightly. "I saw it Leo! I saw it happen!"

"Saw what happen?" Karai asked, still slightly confused to what was happening.

"I saw Tiger Claw, Fishface and Dog-Pound beat Leo up like real bad," Michelangelo said. "Like I think they killed him kind of bad."

"Mikey that won't happen," Leonardo said, putting his hand on Michelangelo's arm.

"Oh right like the Kraang invasion wasn't gonna happen?!" Michelangelo cried out. "Or how there was no way April's so called friend was a Kraang?! I was right about those things and I'm right about this too!"

"Whoa there Mikey just calm down little brother," Raphael said, his voice calm and caring instead of rough. The red masked turtle was really concerned about Michelangelo and the way the youngest turtle was acting was really concerning to Raphael.

"I can't calm down Raph!" Michelangelo cried out. "Do you have any idea how confusing it is to get these visions?! I can't take much more!" By now Michelangelo was shaking and he was on the verge of having a complete breakdown.

"Mikey," Leonardo began. But he was interrupted by the sound of the lair down bursting open and April's voice calling out for them.

"We're here April!" Donatello called out. Moments later April rounded the corner followed closely by Casey.

"Guys I..." April began. But when she saw the looks on the turtles', Splinter's and Karai's faces she stopped mid sentence. "What's going on?" the red head asked as she looked around the room.

"Yeah what's up with Mikey?" Casey asked, looking at Michelangelo, who was still shaking.

"Oh not much," Raphael said, the sarcasm dripping. "Mikey's only having a major meltdown."

"You'd have a meltdown to if you saw what I saw!" Michelangelo shouted. Everyone looked at the orange masked turtle. "I'm gonna keep Leo safe and there's nothing anyone can say or do that's gonna make me change my mind. Before anyone could respond Michelangelo grabbed Leonardo by his arm once again and dragged him into Donatello's lab, slamming and locking the door behind him.

"Mikey what are you doing?!" Leonardo demanded.

"Like I said before Leo," Michelangelo said. "I'm gonna keep you safe no matter what I have to do."

"And just how long are you going to keep me locked in here?" Leonardo asked. "For the rest of my life?"

"I...I never thought about that," Michelangelo stammered, closing his eyes and shaking his head. Leonardo put his hand on his youngest brother's shoulder and squeezed in slightly. Michelangelo opened his eyes and looked at his oldest brother, who was giving him a look of concern. "I'm sorry Leo," Michelangelo whispered. "These visions are whatever they are are really getting to me. I feel like I'm going crazy or something."

"Mikey I can promise you you're not going crazy," Leonardo said, trying to sound as convincing as possible. This was really hard for him to do because deep down the blue masked turtle was thinking the same thing his orange masked brother was.

"Why is this happening to me?!" Michelangelo cried out, covering his face with his hands. Leonardo embraced the freckled faced turtle, who buried his face in Leonardo's shoulder. "This whole thing sucks," came Michelangelo's muffled voice. Leonardo was about to say something when there was a knock at the door.

"Uh guys?" came Donatello's concerned sounding voice. "Everything ok in there?"

"Yeah Donnie everything's fine," Leonardo called back. "Or at least it will be."

"Well we've got a little bit of a problem," April said.

"Of course we do," Leonardo muttered as he gently pulled away from Michelangelo and reached to unlock the door. But to his surprise Michelangelo slapped his hand away and shoved Leonardo backwards. Leonardo's blue eyes went wide as he stared at his youngest brother, who had a strange look on his face. "Mikey," Leonardo began. But he didn't get a chance to finish. Michelangelo grabbed Leonardo once again and shoved him in the lab's closet and slammed the door shut. Using a padlock the Donatello had nearby Michelangelo locked the door with the padlock and put the key in his belt. "Mikey let me out of here!" Leonardo shouted, banging hard on the door.

"Sorry bro," Michelangelo said, his voice full of regret. "You'll thank me when you're not dead." With that Michelangelo unlocked the lab door, walked out shutting and locking the door behind him. He placed the key for the lab in his belt as well and walked right past his shocked friends and family without saying a word.
