TMNT Escape the Un-Dead

a/n: Sorry if it took a while to update, but it has been busy. I have to admit. I told you what was going to happen in the last chapter. The word for this chapter is Elephant. Enjoy! :)

Chapter 3

The mobile home was quiet and the atmosphere had a taste of mistrust in it. Nobody was speaking, and Donatello was driving so it was very quiet as not even the keys on his laptop could be heard as they drove the least direct route towards the Alamo. As Donnie had found out after the heated discussion was lead to Nathan staying with them. "Is there anything I can do to make up for what I done?" He asked them breaking the silence.
"You mean besides begging for our forgiveness, no. You nearly killed our brother." Leo answered him, as the air grew thicker with anticipation.
"I thought that he was turning into one of them." Nathan answered.
"We stopped the infection from spreading. Isn't that enough for you?" Leo asked rhetorically. Nathan stood up and walked up to the bedroom of the RV.
"Maybe we are being to hard on him." Michelangelo put in. "I'll go and talk to him, make sure that we still have someone that we can call ally, and friend." Leo put his head down, realising that he was being a hard assed jerk.

"Hey, can I come in?" Mikey asked knocking on the door.
"Sure." Nathan replied. "Whats up Mikey."
"I just felt like we were giving you a bit of a hard time. I wanted to make sure that you were all right." Mikey replied
"I'm fine."
"No your not. How about I tell you a story. This is exactly what happened when we found out about the apocalypse."

Michelangelo's Story

Me and Donnie were on our way over to our friend April's house after she called saying someone had broken into her place and tried to bite her. When we got there she was hysterical. She kept saying that we were going to die and that guy who broke in wasn't hurt until she hit his head too hard he died, but every other way she hit him he never went down.

"Mikey, Donnie you have to help me there is something not quite right about this." April told us. She passed out there and then and then the same scabs that I had on my arm started to appear all over her body and the next thing we knew she was dead.

We stayed with her for another five minutes to make sure she was okay. Which I understand is a little stupid, but she was like a sister to us. Then her eyes opened and they weren't the same they were clouded over as if she couldn't focus them on anything. I noticed blood coming out of her mouth and remembered all of the zombie flicks I had watched and realised that she had been turned. As quickly as I could I pulled Don away from her. She lunged at her and we both panicked. I grabbed a few shiruken out of my belt and flung them at her head. We watched as she tumbled to the floor and landed in a heap. "That wasn't April any more Donnie. Come on we have to get out of here and warn the others."

The others weren't having a good time either. It turned out that Leo had gotten a distress signal to meet out other friend Angel at her school. Leo ran into the gymhall and seen Angel fighting off a bunch of Zombies by herself. She was surrounded. "Angel behind you!" He yelled. If the other students that hadn't been bitten weren't too busy they would have been shocked to see Leo run in and slice several kids the same age of us in half in about three seconds flat. "You okay?" He asked kissing her on the cheek.
"I think one of them bit me." She replied. Leo checked out the wound on her shoulder.
"It looks infected." That's when it happened, that's when Leo had to watch his girlfriend be turned into a savage cannibal.

Angel woke up and shot forward her eyes were lacking focus and her mouth was dripping with blood. "Fuck." Leo swore, all of the other zombies had been taken care of. Angel leapt forward and tried to bite him. Leo used one of his arms to try and fend her and his other to reach one of the swords that he hadn't put back after the fight. He finally reached one and used both hands to send the blade up through her mouth to crack her skull and kill her. He pushed her off the top of him and turned around to see a blood covered teenager staring at him.
"You were the guy that was dating Angel?" He asked.
"Yeah, surprised?" Leo replied with his usual smug look. "I-" He collapsed down in front of this unknown stranger and cried his heart out. He stopped when he realised that the three of us were out there probably wondering what was going on.

Raphael was with our good friend Casey Jones. They were off fighting purple dragons, the only difference being that these dragons were mindless zombies. They jumped into action when they seen one attacking an old lady in an alleyway. Casey attacked the dragon as Raph helped the old lady get to her feet, fortunately she hadn't received any kind of injury. And unfortunately Casey had been bitten on his arm. Raph looked at him in shock, then ran to his best friend's side when he collapsed in front of him. When casey woke up he had changed. His skin was paler and he his eyes were glassed over. Seeing Raph he raised his head to bite him. Raph never let it get that far and managed to keep the zombie-fied vigilante from attacking him for long enough that he could barely hold his arms up anymore. With his last ounce of energy Raph tossed Casey behind him and got to his feet. Raph flug shiruken at Casey's head and watched in horror as they hit their target and fell to the ground in an un-dead heap.

Don and I called the others and agreed to meet up in a protected area to attempt to figure out what had happened. By the time we met up, we were over the shock of seeing un-dead monsters but were beginning to morn the loss of our friends. It took about fifteen minutes of debating before we decided to go back to the lair. When we got there however, our world was turned completely on it's head.

"Sensei are you home?" Leo called out. No answer came. We walked towards Splinters room and knocked on the door. No answer came. We walked toward the entertainment centre hoping that he would be watching his shows. When suddenly his furry figure jumped out as us from the other side of the couch. Then tried to eat Don. For an hour we tried our best to save him, for an entire hour we managed to stop our father from turning us into one of them. In the end Leo had to slice his head off with his swords and there was nothing he could have done to save him.

We collected everything that could be of any importance and left the city in the battle shell. We began heading north to north hampton and half way there we were ambushed by humans and had to think of something else and fast. So we found this little beauty and let Donnie do his thing and well you know the rest.

End Michelangelo's Story

Nathan looked at the turtle in orange. "I knew that the four of you had lost everything in this mess, but I had no idea that you actually had to kill the people you care about most."
"That's why I told you this story, that's the reason why we seemed a bit hard. All we have left now is each other. And we aren't prepared to let anybody pull the four of us apart. Nathan you are the only friend and ally that we have and in this situation you don't want to be alone, finding a new friend in all of this gave us all hope. Then you went and broke our trust." Nathan lowered his head at these words. He knew that Mikey was right. "Trust can be rebuilt though, you just have to work at it." Mike told him.

Mikey stood and left the small room. Leaving Nathan to think about everything that he was told.

a/n: Third chapter finished. I should probably explain why Angel and Leo are suddenly dating, when I usually pair her off with Raph. I just needed an extra twist and putting the two of them together seemed to be the perfect way to add that in. That and I think they would be an interesting couple.
