Okay, I have to say this, I am deeply sorry to everyone who had to wait for this chapter. I was busy thinking of two other stories and if I didn't type them out, I would have forgotten. So, for your wait…you get a long chapter. Oh, sporksareweird, I can't say anything…yet.
Donnie and Leo picked Raph up, while master Splinter gave Mikey some advice. "Michelangelo, if you do not want to be left behind, then I suggest that you come with us and make no more stops." Mikey looked at Master Splinter with an urgent look.
"Coming!" Mikey said as he ran with his family as fast as they could to the bridge that leads people out of Manhattan. One the way there, Mikey kept feeling eyes watching him and his brothers. Everyone once in a while, Mikey would look back, he wouldn't slow down his pace though, but see nothing.
"One minute." This time Mikey looked back in just enough time to see the creature on one of the nearby roofs.
"Guys!" Mikey yelled. The creature noticed this and grinned as it watched them.
"What Mike?" Leo asked, not bothering to turn around as they ran.
"It found us!" Mikey yelled. The statement did not slow their progress though, if anything, they ran faster.
"Forty five seconds," the vesania bestia said as it jumped from the top of the building and landed silently on the ground. It began to run after them, but not like it was trying to catch them, it was toying with them instead.
"Guys!" Mikey said as he noticed that it was right on his tail, not literally. Donnie and Master Splinter looked back and their eyes grew wide.
"Not now! We are almost there!" Donnie yelled.
"Thirty seconds," it hissed as it began to grin.
"Hurry my sons!" Master Splinter instructed.
"We ain't gonna make it!" Mikey said as he noticed that the distance was too far for them to make it in less than thirty seconds.
"We have to!" Leo yelled back.
"Ten."
"Please God," Mikey whispered as they ran.
"Eight."
"There's not enough time!" Leo said to himself.
"Five."
"Please," Master Splinter whispered to any god that would listen.
"Four."
"We have to make it," Donny said to them as they continued to run. They were one step away from leaving New York when they heard it.
"Zero." It jumped and the next thing they new, they were on the ground. Master Splinter was the first to come through. He looked around and saw that even out of New York, it was still empty. And has been ever since they ran into the vesania bestia. Master Splinter walked over to Leo. He lightly began to shake Leo to bring him back to reality.
"Ugh, Master Splinter?" Leo asked. He shot right up once he remembered what had happened. He looked around and saw that the vesania bestia was gone. "Where is it?"
"I do not know. Let's wake up your other brothers." Master Splinter went to wake Mikey, while Leo got Donnie.
"Did we win?" Mikey asked when he got up and stretched.
"I think so," Donnie said as he stood up. "I am going to go check on Raph." Before Donnie could even reach Raph though, he heard a moan.
"Ugh, I always hate that part." Donnie looked at Raph with wide eyes, along with everyone else. "What, do you not like failing? Everyone does, but this will be your last." Raph stood up and took the bandages off.
"We…we didn't make it," Mikey said.
"Of course not, you thought that I could not leave New York, you stupid, stupid creatures," Raph said as he "looked" at them. Donnie noticed that deep where Raph's eyes should have been, a deep red now glowed.
"You get out of Raph," Leo growled.
"Or what? You will kill me? So sorry Leonardo, but you would have to kill your dear Raphael first," Raph said and he began to grin evilly. "And we all know that you cannot live with that resting on your soul, can you?"
"We will have to get rid of you one way," Master Splinter growled.
"And you wouldn't even dare try to kill one of your sons, would you "Master" Splinter?" Raph said.
"Leave my family alone," Mikey said.
"Are you going to "kill" me too Michelangelo?" Raph said. "Do you think that you are that lucky? You prayed to you "Gods" when time was almost gone for Raphael, and they did nothing. Do you think that "luck" is one your side just because nothing else is? Even your pitiful "friends" could not stop me."
"Shut up," Donnie growled.
"Why should I? You all know that it is the truth, accept it. Or it will lead to your demise."
"We said shut up," Leo said as tears began to fill his eyes.
The grin left Raph's face, "make me."
