The turtles, along with Gen and Usagi, walked back to 3rd Earth to see Splinter waiting for them.
"My sons, was something wrong?" Splinter asked.
"Master...the Daimyo and his son are dead..."
Splinter let his walking stick fall to the ground with a shocked looked on his face.
"They were stabbed by a katana and his own staff..." Don explained.
Splinter fell on his hands and knees. Leo sat down and started to rub his master's back.
"We're so sorry, Master Splinter." He said. "We'll still try to get to the bottom of-"
Splinter pushed Leo away and stood quickly to walked to his room without saying a word to anyone. All of them except Usagi looked shockingly at his direction.
"What was that about, dubes?" Mikey asked.
"Mikey, his fri'nd's dead." Raph said. "Maybe he need some time alone."
Leo didn't think so. When Splinter wanted to be alone he would have told him. Not push him to the ground. And he also noticed the scratch on Splinter's finger that HipHop gave him was glowing a blackish-red color. There was something wrong here.
-later-
Everyone was now asleep. Leo had the chance to check on Splinter without interuption. He walked to Splinter's door and opened it slightly. He gasped he saw Splinter with red eyes, holding a knife to his own neck.
As he drew the knife closer, Leo was about to run in and stop him. But Splinter's eyes went to normal and he dropped the knife. He dropped to his knees when the knife stabbed the floor a cradled his finger as it glowed blackish-red again.
"W-What is happening?" He asked nobody in paticular. "Why is it burning so m-much?"
Leo was shocked at his master's actions. Splinter almost kills himself and doesn't even remember it just happening. And burning? The finger was burning? It was just a cut, right?
Now, this was really getting serious. Now that Splinter's in it, Leo had to do more than all he can to solve this and put an end to it for all of his remaining friends and master's sake.
