Chapter 3: Broken and Bleeding

Mike woke slowly, whimpering as his head throbbed painfully, his eyes opened slowly before he screamed.

"LEO!" he screamed as he spotted Leo's limp figure on top of him.

Mike scrambled away as Leo didn't respond, watched in horror as Leo crumpled to the ground.

Mikey's blue eyes stretched wide in fear.

"L-leo?" he whimpered, slowly moving forward and touching Leo's shoulder, then he saw it, the Katana hilt propping Leo's frame up, the blood everywhere.

"L-L-Leo? W-wakeup…wake up!" Mikey sobbed, recoiling as his brother remained limp, "I didn't mean to…I didn't-"

"MIKEY! LEO!" Raph called, "MIKEY! LEO!"

Mikey took one terrified glance at Leo's limp form and scrambled out of the room, terrified of the rage of his brothers. He ran, scrambling out of the area mindless of his own injuries.

Utterly consumed with grief and terror.

Raph pushed through the scattered boards, Don was waiting anxiously outside. Raph froze when he spotted the limp figure in front of him.

"Leo?" he whispered, "Leo?"

Leo remained still, unmoving.

Raph rushed forward and gently rolled Leo over, shuttering when he felt how cold Leo's skin was. A scream of horror broke the ominous silence when he saw his brother's sword lodged in his chest.

"NO!" Raph screamed, "NO LEO!"

Raph touched the blade and shuttered as a weak moan slipped from Leo's lips.

He took a deep breath and relaxed.

"Oh thank god…you're alive," Raph managed weakly.

He touched the ear bud and waited.

Raph?

"I found Leo…he's alive but really weak…there's no sign of Mikey anywhere. Don they stabbed him with his own blade…they-" Raph growled.

Get him to me now! Then go back for Mike. GET HIM OUT HERE RAPH!

Raph gently lifted Leo's broken frame and gently cradled the trembling figure.

"Hang on bro, hang on," Raph coaxed, gently positioning Leo so that the blade wouldn't hurt Leo worse.

Don glanced back and forth waiting anxiously, then he spotted Raph coming out with Leo's limp figure in arm. His eyes widened in horror at the sight of the blade. Anger flicked through his heart as he fought tears.

Raph brought Leo over and gently lowered him down.

Leo whimpered as Don inspected the injury.

"I'll call April and Casey, go look for Mike and be careful!" Don hissed.

Raph nodded before dashing off, back toward the building.

Don shuttered before gently lifting Leo and moving further into the alley before flicking open his shell cell.

"April?" Don whispered.

Don? What the-its three in the morning!

"We need your help, Leo's been hurt bad and Raph's gone back into the building to find Mike, can you get here fast? Leo needs medical attention now," Don pled.

I'll be there as fast as I can Don.

Don hung up before glancing around him, looking for sheets that he could use to control the bleeding.

"MIKEY!" Raph hollered, fear creeping in as he continued to look around the area Leo had been in.

"They were together," Raph kept telling himself as he searched.

He jumped as his ear bud beeped.

"Don?" he asked.

April's here any sign of Mike?

"None," Raph managed miserably.

I need your help lifting him Raph…he's getting weaker…we'll find Mikey...but if we don't hurry…

"Leo?" Raph whispered.

He's really weak…Raph I…I don't know if he's going to make it…we need to at least get him home…

"But Mikey…" Raph whispered.

He might've gotten out…we'll find him…I need your help Raph…please hurry.

"I'm comin'," Raph mumbled, turning slowly before jogging away.
