Hey ya'll second and final chapter up and running. Life's been going better, still missing my ex and wishing I didn't but say amore.
I don't own TMNT, I may be close knit into the family but I don't own them. Leo can own me though. :3
Splinter walked out of the dojo quietly, his heart in pieces. His sons, his precious children, had each been hurt in a way that took away the very essence of them. They had been hurt before, almost killed, but Splinter wondered if it would not have been better if they had been killed this time. Karai and Bishop had teamed up, and in sixty short minutes, had his sons captured, tortured, then released. Splinter had been ecstatic when his boys had "escaped", until he saw the results.
Splinter then saw his youngest son standing by the dojo, and it's like his heart broke into even smaller pieces. Michelangelo, his son whose voice could fill a thousand rooms with its volume, whose laughter was so contagious it even had Raphael and Leonardo laughing at times, whose sheer delight in speaking and having his thoughts known and cheering people up was rivaled by no one, would never speak again. Splinter would never hear his most energetic son's contagious laugh or hear him screaming in terror as his red banded brother chased him. All that was left was an empty shell of his son, no longer able to laugh or speak or scream or joke. Michelangelo has had his voice box ripped out, and without it, in his essence, he was dead.
Splinter watched as his son went upstairs to his room, oblivious to his sensei standing there. Splinter sighed and went up to the second level to his next eldest son's room. This was the one that really was a killer. Donatello was sitting in bed playing with a big, rubber, child's ball and making garbled noises. Splinter smiled sadly as Donatello waved childishly at him and went back to his ball. He would never again see his son's face in triumph after creating something new. Donatello's intelligence was second to none, his ability to learn anything and everything in just a few quick glances, whose technological skills kept everything running smoothly at the lair. Donatello has had his cerebellum taken out, and without it, in his essence, he was gone.
Splinter then walked to his second oldest son's room. Raphael was lying in his hammock, staring unseeingly at the far wall. Raphael, the most passionate of his brothers, had been forced into a strange new world. Never again would Splinter see the look of joy that crossed Raphael's face when he road that dreaded motorcycle. As much as it worried him, he knew that that was one of Raphael's most favorite past times. As was watching wrestling and other sports, which Raph would never be able to watch again. To protect his brothers, the red banded turtle had always relied on his sense of sight to guide him. Raphael had been blinded, and without his sight, in his essence, he was no more.
Splinter walked on as he heard a snore erupt from the second oldest and went into his eldest son's room. Leonardo was sitting on the floor in lotus position with his eyes shut. The "fearless leader" (yes, Splinter was quite aware of the nickname) was trying desperately to keep himself together. Leonardo had always watched over his brothers, and while his sight had not been taken like Raphael, he was probably even more defenseless than his younger brother. Never again would Leonardo be first to awake, or the one to give instructions, never mind follow them. Leonardo had been made deaf, and without his hearing, in his essence, he was never to be again.
Ok…so not my best work. I'm not too thrilled with it but oh well. I'd love some constructive criticism, but please no whiney flames. Seriously, you don't like what I write just don't read it ok?
Oh and by the way, Kitty (anonymous reviewer), *innocent look* I'd never do anything like that… except when I'm feeling evil and violent which is 90% of the time. :D
Karlina101, you weren't very detailed but as you can see you were really close…give me a prompt *challenge considered*
Yugi's sister death, MerlinStar, and Guest, sorry but none of them died. Good guesses though.
EpicThunder101, you were really close too besides the death thing. I really didn't mean it to be similar to SAINW but looking back I can see it. Give me a prompt *second challenge considered*
Jaddis, creative idea but I doubt that'd take away their essence unless Raph and Leo were less…umm "endowed" than before *giggles*.
Juanita27, another really creative idea… That's interesting and you should write a story involving that if you can think of one :3.
Thank ya'll for reviewing so much! R&R this time please!
