Ok, here's the update. You love me for updating don't you? Don't you? O_O T_T

Anyways, now I have to complain, why did people stop reviewing? Was it because of what I did to Leo? Everyone I- well I think you'll understand it from this chapter.

Warning: Actually none. No cliffhanger in this chapter I promise.

*Breaks open piggy bank* No Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. TT_TT If it's any consolation, I've got a teenage mutant rat. But that's it.

To the chapter!

Someone was shaking his shoulder very quickly and harshly.

"LEO WAKE UP!"

Then someone was holding him up against something hard but he could hear a beating rhythm underneath the hard surface. Was that a heartbeat he heard?

"YOU BETTER WAKE UP RIGHT NOW FEARLESS! WAKE UP!"

A soft hand on his head made him focus his attention on what he could recognize of his surroundings. There was a hand on his head, someone was holding him, and another hand was on his shoulder and it was shaking him? Yeah, and-and there were the voices. They were familiar. He knew that he had heard them many times before. Who were they?

"Guys I don't think he's-"

"HE'S FINE DON! FEARLESS WAKE UP!"

The one with the shaking hand moved closer, "Wake up bro."

"We have to leave, come on Mikey."

"But he could be-"

Footsteps faded into the distance. No, they couldn't leave him. He couldn't be alone.

"Come on Leo. You gotta wake up. Do it for them, do it for me."

The voice, begging, pleading, It didn't give Leo any options. He had to wake up! There was no choice. So with a great drive he forced his eyelids open and stared up at a red masked green figure above him. What shocked Leo to the core was that the turtle holding him was his sixteen-year-old brother. Not the four-year-old toddler he'd been taking care of.

"Raph?"

The red banded turtle glanced back down and a smile immediately lit his face, "Leo!"

Although he had become accustomed to his younger brothers, that is the four-year-olds outbursts of random affection, seeing it from his 16-year-old brother was strange, not that it was too rare, but still-

"Mikey! Donny! He's ok!" Raph shouted to a doorway across the small room they were in.

Leo took the chance to look around at the place and realized that it looked like the dojo. Then he remembered, the attack! Did the others get out alright? Where were the Foot? His thoughts were stopped short when Mikey and Donny, both in their sixteen-year-old forms again, rushed in and fell by his side, embracing him tightly.

"We miss you Leo," Don said, as the brothers pulled away.

"Miss?" Leo questioned, "You mean 'miss' as in, present tense?"

Mikey sighed and reached towards the floor, his hand fazing right through it.

"What's going on?" Leo asked, shaking his head in disbelief.

"We needed to keep you from slipping away," Raph said, his normally sarcastic scowl gone from his face.

"Slipping away?"

"You're hurt Leo," Mikey explained, pointing towards the floor.

Leo glanced down to find the floor gone. Nothing but air was between them and a figure laying below a pile of tumbled debris. The eldest turned his frightened eyes up to his brothers.

"But you three you were-are you guys still-?"

Leo's question was cut off by the sound of laughing voices. He looked across the room and saw his four-year-old little brothers pushing trucks across the floor, but their images were distilled and transparent.

"But they're-"

"Cute aren't they?" Mikey said with a smile.

"You can't go away Leo," Don said, "They need you."

"But-"

"Leo. They. Need. You." Don emphasized.

Then, Leo understood. These spirits were the memories.

"Will you guys, come back?" Leo asked, staring at each of them sadly.

"You'll definitely see me again bro!" Mikey said with a wink.

Leo turned to Don, who smiled, "I'll be back too bro, I'll be a little different though. I'll be a lot stronger."

Breathing a sigh of relief Leo lastly turned to his old hothead little brother. Raph met his eyes and smiled softly, a kind compassionate smile that was rarely seen on his face. He reached out and rested his hand on Leo's shoulder. His eyes held a kind of sadness in them but still held a spark of hope as well.

"Don't worry big bro, we're all coming back, it'll take some time, but we'll be back. We'll know everything again, we'll just be a little different. I'll be more different than the others, but I'll still be me."

Raph glanced over as his four-year-old self reached out and pulled the four-year-old Mikey away from a tower of tumbling building blocks.

"Besides, the way it looks now, I'm gonna be better looking up to my hero a second time."

"Hero?" Leo asked, shocked as they sat side by side.

That's when Leo noticed that Mikey and Donny were no longer with them.

"Where did they go?" Leo said frantically, his eyes desperately scanning the room.

"They're there," Raph said, motioning to the tots playing with little figurines of jungle animals, "We're all there bro and we need our big brother around. They need you bro, and don't worry. We're coming home"

A white light filled Leo's vision and he found himself pinned to the floor in the garage with debris on top of his shell. The area seemed deserted but torn to pieces. He struggled out from under the debris and glanced outside the garage, noticing the disappearing figures in the distance. The blue clad turtle smiled.

"Stupid Foot ninja," Leo muttered, knowing he had to get to his family.

His eyes scanned the tattered floor until his eyes fell onto Raphael's motorcycle, it was laying on its side on the floor but appeared not to be damaged too badly. He stood it up and tried the engine, grinning when the engine came to life. He looked outside through the dented garage door as he picked up the amazingly undamaged red helmet from the floor without having to look at it.

It was time to find his family. His little brothers needed him.

Wow, what a chapter and I wrote it before school. Yay! And I must say, I never mentioned that Leo was killed when he stayed behind to hold off the Foot ninja. Why would I do something so cliché?

Please review. Pretty please. I have my computer back and can now update more. PLEASE REVIEW or I won't have the strength to go on.

*Falls back into chair dramatically.* The light, I see the light. And it's a whole bunch of reviews!

Dramatic aren't I?
