Chapter 2

As Leonardo was going through his life like nothing was different the Hamato brothers were dealing with their own problems. The day Leonardo went back to school the three brothers gathered together to talk to each other about the boy and their next step.

Mikey and Donnie took their places on the couch with Raph pacing back and forth in front of them.

With their eyes moving they watched as Raph would stop and try to talk to his brother but go back and look at the grown continuing his pacing.

"Raph you're going to wear the floor out if you keep that up." Mikey complained.

Raph turned his head to look at his brother.

"Mikey don't start." Raph growled.

But Mikey had grown in the last 17 years even though he spent most of his time stuck in his head.

"No Raph we need to talk about him." Mikey stated.

"I agree Mikey Raph this needs to be talked about before it gets bigger." Donnie added.

"What do you want me to say?" Raph shouted.

"There's a kid out there with the same name, the same eye, hell pretty much our Leo minus being human part and you want me to do talk to him! Let me remind you we screwed up our brother with our selfness and he left us. We can't talk to him, we can't go near him do you guys understand." Raph yelled.


Raph turned his back to his brothers and muttered to himself.

"Not again. I can't do it."

"Then why did you throw him the shell cell?" Donnie asked.

Raph quickly turned around and glared at his brothers.

"If you wanted nothing to do with the kid then why did you throw him the shell cell? Why did you message him to meet up at the park near his place, Raph? If you really wanted nothing to do with him then why did you do all of that other stuff?" Donnie asked walking up to his brother and standing in front of him.

Raph growled then pushed Donnie away.

"Don't start with me Don I have enough problems." Raph shouted.

Donnie walked over and pushed back.

"Then answer the question Raph. Why him?" Donnie shouted back.

Mikey quickly got between his two brothers as the shoving match began to get more violent.

"Stop it! Both of you just stop it!" Mikey shouted pushing his two older brothers away from him.

"Don't you guys see this is not helping anyone? Raph you need to answer the question for yourself about Leo and Donnie you need to give him time to answer. We have only each other and we need to stop all this fighting." Mikey pleaded.

Both brothers looked at each other but quickly looked away. As the two brothers parted ways with the youngest frozen to his spot the three brothers could feel the temperature start to drop.


"No" Donnie said looking at his brothers.

"It can't be not after so much time has passed." Mikey said.

"You better have good explanation you brats because I'm going to gut you like a fish this time." Raph growled pulling out his Sais.

"Oh boohoo you are sad. What are we going to do about this sister?"

"I do not know brother but we must be quiet or they will find us."

The twins started to giggle as their voices echoed throughout the silent lair.

"Show yourself!" Raph demanded.

"Temper, temper boy. That rage has gotten you into too many fights and troubles in the past."

"Yes do you remember what it cost you?"

"Kage! Kei! Come out now or else!" Raph shouted.

"Or else what?" Kage asked.

Kage and Kei appeared in front of brothers in a cloud of black smoke.

Both twins had aged since the last time they appeared in front of the brothers.


Kage was the same height as Leo was when he was still alive. His hair still pure black but with his bangs falling down to his chin on his right side with the back cut to the bottom of his hair line. Kage's red eyes still bright red as ever contrasted again his sickly grey skin. Wearing a black long sleeve shirt with a black leather jacket that had an upside down silver cross on the back of it, black jeans that were loose again his legs and black boots with dried specks of blood on the bottom and sides. A tattoo of a spider web was on the side of Kage's neck and a flame design going down his left arm to the top of his palm.

Kei was the same height as Kage with the same bright red eyes and sickly grey skin. Her hair was still pure black and was cut same; short in the back and long in the front but her right side was cut shorter than her left. The right side was cut just half way above her ear and her left was cut just below her other ear her bands just barely showing on her forehead. But this time she had colored it with dark blue highlights and the tips of her hair bright red like her eyes. Kei was a developed woman wearing a charcoal grey sleeveless V t-shirt that showed part of her bust that had two silver buttons under it. Cut just above her belly bottom she had tight black leather pants with black boots with high heels that made her two inches higher than her brother. Kei had laced up fingerless gloves that went just above her elbow and two rows of silver earrings that looked like tear drops on both of her ears.


"I knew it this is all because of you two." Raph yelled pointing the tip of his sai at the twins.

"We did no such thing Raphael. We were just passing through the neighborhood and thought why don't we come and visit our friends." Kei said.

"Yes we thought it has been too long since we last saw each other and thought it was a good time to exchange stories and tell jokes." Kage joked.

"There is no way you two just happen to show up now after 17 years of silence on the exact moment we are going through a crisis." Donnie said.

"Yeah why do you two always come when something bad is going to happen?" Mikey asked.

Kei and Kage shrugged their shoulders.

"We have no idea what you guys are talking about." Kage said.

"Please you might as we tell us that you were the kid and this is all in our minds." Raph stated.

Kei and Kage looked at each other in bit of a shock.

"What kid?" Kei asked in deep voice.

Though the turtles never saw the twins in a panic it seemed to them they didn't know about the boy Leonardo. Thinking it was better to keep quiet they bit their tongues but the twins didn't want that they needed any information they had.

Kage nodded his head to Kei and walked over to Raph. Donnie and Mikey tried to move but Kei let her black cloud hold them in place. As Kage walked over to Raph who was struggling to move Kage's hand started to glow a purple flame.


"Tell me or I'll find out myself; painfully." Kage threaten giving Raph one last chance.

But Raph didn't budge or say a word. He didn't care what Kage did to him because all he wanted to do was keep the boy safe and out of this life.

Kage shrugged his shoulders chanting in an ancient language, Kage's eyes turned completely black as he placed his hand on the side of Raph's face.

Kage continued to chant as Raph withered in pain as his memories were being ripped from his head and placed into Kages'. The boy took a step back when he was finished. Raph fell to the ground and Kei let Donnie and Mikey go. Both brothers rushed to Raph's side as the turtle remained on his knees and hands panting heavily.

Kage whispered to Kei in the ear about what he just saw and what they already knew added up on why the kings have been in a meet for the last two weeks.

Kage and Kei walked over to the turtles but Donnie and Mikey wouldn't let them get any closer. Pulling out their weapons they stood protectively in front of their brother.


"What else do you want?" Mikey demanded.

"Nothing. Just giving you three a warning." Kage said.

"What you or your daddy did something bad and now it's going to affect us?" Raph joked.

Raph pulled himself off his hands and knees and knelt on his two feet ready to charge the twins if he had to.

"Nothing good will come if you three attack us so." Kei waved her hand in front of the brothers and their weapons disappeared. The three of them were sitting on their bottoms pinned to the ground. "This is better." Kei said smiling.

Kei and Kage took a seat in front of the brothers to explain the problem the best they could.

"Trust us or not but know this. The boy is in danger." Kage stated.

"What do you mean by "boy" and what danger?" Donnie asked.

"Don't play dumb with us. We know that you found or rather found you a boy by the name Leonardo and guess what he is endanger from both sides." Kei stated getting impatient.

"Brother why are we telling them this? The last time we tried this they failed both times." Kei complained.

"I know sister but as humans say third time is the charm we must see if this will work." Kage stated.


"The boy, Leonardo, what did you do to him?" Raph asked in a low and threating voice.

"We have done nothing turtle. We have been working the last 17 years on something and just as we get back home bad things have happened." Kei stated.

"What? What has happened in hell that you had to come up here?" Donnie asked.

Kage and Kei looked at each other and nodded their heads.

"The seals have weaken and most have broken." They both said together.
