Chapter 28: We saved the world.
April was slowly returning to consciousness. She noticed Donnie holding her steady, his arm firmly wrapped around her shoulder allowing her to lean onto him for support. She noticed something green and blue standing a distance away. Looking around she noticed only Michelangelo and Raphael where inside the circle and they too were staring at the green blur ahead of them. Something clicked in her mind, one person was missing. Leonardo. "Leo." Her voice was barley audioable over Raph screaming at his brother.
"Leo." She tried again. Donnie noticed the girl stirring in his arms helping her stand straight. She wobbled over to the edge of the sphere. "Leonardo!" He turned and stared back at the girl. He gave her a slight smile. Jumping behind the alien using Mikey's nunchaku to hold back the beast. "Leo what are you doing!"
"You guys need to leave now!"
"Leo! No! You need to come with us! Please get in the escape pod! Leonardo!" She could feel the tears forming in her eyes. What was he doing? Surely he wasn't going to leave them. Leave her.
"I can't hold it back any longer!" They had just gotten together officially. Without thinking April tried to jump out to his aid but she was engulfed strong arms that belonged to Donnie. He held her back, just enough so Mikey could close the top could cover them as it began to leave the Technodrome.
"Leo!" she couldn't fight the tears any longer. The four watched as the invadeing ship landed just behind them, with no sign of Leonardo anywhere. The orange-haired girl sank to her knees fighting to keep the tears in.
"I can't believe we made it!" Donnie exclaimed.
"No, Leo." Mikey eyes started to water.
"I can't believe he's gone."
"Leo." Donnie leaned down to console the girl but she pushed him away. Why would he do that? Didn't he know that they needed him. She needed him. They had just gotten together and now he was gone.
"I gave him nothing but a hard time. If I had to do it over again, I'd definitely be nicer."
"Really." April's head shot up at the voice she recognized so clearly.
"Leo? Leo! Leo you dork! You scared the heck out of us!" It was Raph who discovered the turtle swimming towards them. He climbed aboard and was instantly attacked by his blue-eyed beauty who jumped into his arms. He held her tight completely forgetting who was watching.
"Don't you ever do that again! I thought you were gone!" Leo never wanted to let her go. He would have kissed her right then and there when he remembered Donnie.
"Ahem." The pair opened their eyes to see the shocked expressions of two of his brothers and an angry expression of the other.
"Listen, there's been something we've been meaning to tell you."
