Hello again! I am SO SORRY I haven't been updating! I just haven't been able to because I had to retype it; I had it typed somewhere and then I accidentally deleted it. Just be glad I'm continuing the story at all. Enjoy!

4:00 PM

Leo stood near the doorway of the elevator. "Guys, time for patrol!"

Raph kicked Mikey, who had been sleeping on the couch since 3, and woke the sugared-out terrapin. "But we dun wanna go on patrol!" the hothead called to his brother, who cringed at the volume.

Mikey nodded tiredly. "Raph's right for once," he muttered, causing Raph to kick him again. "Owwwwm..."

Don poked his head out from the lab. "Can we just skip patrol tonight?" he asked innocently, knowing that they stayed out until dark when they were out.

Leo shook his head. "We skipped it yesterday, and I saw on the news earlier that there were, like, 5 women dead in an alley found. We're going; come on!"

Raph groaned miserably, but dragged his tired brother to the elevator as Don got their weapons from their respective rooms. As the genius gave his brothers' weapons to them, he asked, "Can we try to get back before dusk?"

Leo raised an eyebrow at him. "Um, why? Is something gonna happen then?" he asked suspiciously. His brothers were hiding something, and he was going to find out what."

Mikey frantically shook his head and hands. "N-Nuh-uh! There's, uh, there's a movie on TV at sundown!" he lied.

Leo raised both eyebrows in surprise. "You have a movie on TV at 6?"

Mikey nodded. "Uh, c'mon; I'll race you to Vinnie's!"

Leo immediately brightened and ran into the elevator, forgetting an doubt. Once they were on the rooftops, Leo sped to the pizza place Mikey had suggested they race to. He just stood there as he waited for his brothers, who took about 3 minutes after he got there.

"Man, you guys are slow!" he chatsied. His brothers rolled their eyes as soon as he looked away.

Just as Leo was about to take off again, he felt Raph's hand brush his shoulder. He looked at his questioningly. "Hm?" he asked, noticing Don's Shell Cell, which the genius had been checking, said 5:30, but brushing it to the back of his mind.

Raph pointed to another rooftop, where some Foot Ninja were standing.

Everyone looked to Leo, silently asking if they should engage. The blue-clad leader shook his head, and he could've sworn he'd heard Don sigh in relief.

Raph, on the other hand, groaned, momentarily forgetting hey had to get home fast. "But I'm bored! They'll cure mah boredom!"

Leo shushed him, but the Foot Ninja heard his red-clad brother and approached. Leo glared at Raph as he took out his katanas, but the latter just grinned like a shark and shrugged as he and his younger brothers drew their own weapons.

The Foot attacked first, right as the sun started setting. Don turned to Leo as he battled a few Foot Ninja. "Leo! Try to stay in the sunlight!"

The leader narrowed his eyes, but obeyed as he knocked out 2 ninjas. "OK... But I'm running out of space! The moon's out early tonight!"

He kept going backwards as the darkness came towards him, soon knocking out all the ninjas he was fighting. He looked over to where his brothers were (even though they were in the shadows), and saw Raph having trouble with his 15 Foot Ninja.

"Sorry, Don," the blue-clad terrapin muttered, running over. But as soon as he stepped out of the sunlight, he felt claws instantly grow on his fingers and fangs grow in his mouth.

Raph and Mikey looked over from where their brother was, and saw that he was transforming.

WAIT, LEO WAS TRANSFORMING?!

"Leo! Hold it in!" Mikey called, causing Leo to glare at him with his red, slitted eyes. He howled (finally!) loudly, making everyone else on the rooftop freeze. And probably giving a nearby little kid nightmares.

Leo got on all fours and growled at everyone on the rooftops.

All of the Foot Ninjas snapped out of their shock and ran at Leo, which would be about 15. Leo lashed out at them. Blood spilled on the rooftop everywhere as the Hamato turtles watched in horror.

Then, Leo suddenly collapsed, and a Foot Ninja held up a dart gun. Raph screamed at the ninjas and charged, only to be shot with a sedative dart like his elder brother.

Don and Mike tried to sneak away, only to get shot as well.

The last thing Donatello heard before darkness engulfed his vision was a weak whine from Leo.

I'm sorry again it's short! Or maybe that was Hamato or Oroku? I dunno. I'm still sorry. And I'm sorry again for being super-late with the update!BYE!
