Chapter 6: Screaming
It's been five weeks since the incident of what happened to Raphael and it has mostly been forgotten by everyone, including him.
The four brothers were all training hard in the dojo.
"Alright guys, since it has been clear this whole time that master splinter isn't here, I'll be your training...leader thing today." Leo smiles as he cockily holds one katana on his shoulder.
"Leo, this is only the second time Master Splinter went on his trip to Japan to see "The Ancient One." Are you sure you can remember what to do? I mean, you don't even know what a "training teacher" is called." Stated Donnie as he takes out his Bo staff and ready's himself in a fighting stance and gives Leo a sarcastic eye ridge. Mikey and Raph were both getting in fighting stances as well and unsheathed their weapons.
"Ahhh come on Don, I'm sure Leo's got everything under control here."
Mikey says to kiss-up to Leo as he shares his toothiest smile.
"Thank you Mikey. Relax Donnie, I can totally handle this. Am I right Raph?"
Leo asks as he throws his glare away from his youngest brother and towards his red-banned brother.
"Huh? Uhhh yea, whateva."
Raph replies as he rolls his eyes in complete uninterest and twirls his Sais.
"Now r'we gonna do dis er wha'?!"
"Indeed. Ok guys, Ready, GO!"
Leo had Mikey and Donnie had Raph. All four warriors lunged at their opponent and began their training. Donnie flung his Bo staff at Leo's arm, which Leo easily dodges and then crouches, sticks his leg out and spins 360 degrees tripping Donnie and causing him to fall face first to the dojo mats.
"Focus Don, you must at all times, look your opponent clear in the eyes to know, his next move."
Donnie grunted in frustration and helped himself to his feet.
"Aight Mikey, I'm takin ya down."
Raph claims as he gets in a firm fighting stance and harshly spins his Sais.
"Haha! Ok Raph, but remember...umm...well, you know...never mind!" At that, Mikey then lunged out a Raph quickly spinning his nunchuks. Mikey spun his nunchuks and them straight at Raph's head. Raph clearly saw what Mikey was aiming for and quickly reacted by grabbing Mikey's arm and throwing him hard to the ground. Mikey then groaned and rubbed the back of his head.
"Gee Raph, crack my shell next time."
Mikey said as he lifts himself up on his elbows with a sarcastic smile.
"Hmmm, sorry bout dat bro."
Raph responds with a small chuckle as he helps Mikey back up to his feet.
It was now Raph and Leo's turn to spar. Both brothers got in their fighting stances and unsheathed their weapons.
"You ready fer dis fea'less; er do I need ta go soft on ya?" Raph says as he skillfully spins his Sais. Leo stares Raph down mockingly which causes Raph to instantly lunge at Leo with medium force. Raph then swings his Sai at Leo which Leo blocks and jabs his swords towards Raph's leg. Raph immediately brings his Sai down and the sound of metal clashing fills the room.
"I'm takin you down fea'less."
Raph claims as he pushes up on Leo's katana's. With that Leo forcefully pulls his swords up and swings the both towards Raph multiple times. Raph dodges most of his swings but, gets a deep gash on his arm which stops Raph clear in his tracks. Warm blood begins to drip down from the gash which causes Leo and Raph to both look in horror as to just what happen.
"Raph, I...I'm sorry! Are you ok?" Leo asks as he drops his swords and runs over to Raph. Raph stares Leo in his brown shining eyes with intensity, and then gives him a small smirk. Leo then sighs in relief as he pats Raph on the shoulder.
"Uhh...yea, sorr' fea'less I...umm just got...a bit… distracted." With that, Raph's eyes shoot open and his heart began to beat at an unbearable rate and small droplets of sweat started to flow down Raph's face. Raph slowly glared down towards his deep cut arm, wide-eyed and in horror as if he has never seen blood before, and it was greatly traumatizing. Raph suddenly had an extremely uncomfortable, yet too familiar feeling growing powerfully in his chest. Raph's breathing became hard and laboured and the sweat began to fall harder and more drastically down his browns and around his body. Raph's heavy breathing was the only thing that kept breaking the silence in the dojo of troubled siblings. Leo, Mikey, and Donnie watched in awe as the red clad brother fell to his knees dropping his Sais hard to the ground and firmly clutching his head with one hand and his deeply cut arm with the other. Leo grabs one of Raph's forearms and tugs it with worry.
"Raph...are you ok? What's wrong? What's happening?!" Leo asks as he kneels down to his struggling brother. Donnie and Mikey waste no time jumping to their feet and galloped to Raph.
"Raph, dude! Whats wrong bro?! Are you sick or somethin?!" Mikey asks with complete worry
"Raph, are you ok?!" Donnie yells putting his hand on Raph's shoulder
Raph was clenching his teeth so tensely, that it seemed as if they would break right there in then. Raph started to gasp loudly, trying his very hardest to keep his breathing under control but was losing the battle to keep his oxygen stable. Raph then collapsed to the floor, leaving the other three brothers and himself confused and panicked. Raph didn't feel himself being lifted from his still position, he just felt and saw the darkness quickly closing in on him.
"Oh Raphie. Its been so long since we last saw each other."
A voice smoothly spoke in the pure darkness. Raph was gazing in every direction of the darkness, trying to seek who just spoke.
"Who the shell ish'you?!"
There was a long pause in the pitch black emptiness and it began to tick Raph off to no end.
"SHOW YOUR FREAKIN SELF!" Raph yelled as showed pure aggression and anger.
"Ok Raphie." The voice said with a soothing tone that made it crystal that he was smiling. "Anything for you"
With that, the creature stepped out of the pitch dark and was clearly shown to Raph's eyes. Raph stared back at the figure in shock and fear. "He was staring...at himself!" Raph thought in complete panic. The other Raph had; Blood glowing red eyes, blatantly showing though his dark red mask and his teeth seemed to be almost razor sharp.
"Why hello Raphie." Evil Raph smiled as he approached Raph closer. "Its so good to finally see you."
Raph was in wide-eyed shock as he gazed deeply in his evil twins eyes. Not much time passed when Raph realized his evil self was only inches away from him. Raph backed away in complete fear, but managed to gasp out words.
"Your...How...did you...What are...you?"
His evil self stepped much closer to him and gently stroked his face with a sinister smile on his face.
"I'm you Raphie. I'm your pain, your ANGER...Except, either one only makes me stronger." Evil Raph cupped Raph's face in his trenchant clawed hands and shot his blood glowing eyes into Raph's terrified wide-eyed amber eyes. Evil Raph closed in to the side of Raph's face and sent painful chills down his spine as he whispered into his ear.
"I have you Raphie. Your...MINE."
Evil Raph then screeched loudly into Raph's ear causing him to hear the screams of numerous people.
Raph flew up in bed, breathing harder then he ever has before, holding his hand to his heart and feeling the hard pounding of it to his chest. He gets a sharp pain in his arm and shoots his glare towards his injured limb and noticed the white bandages, wrapped tightly around.
"Oh yea, daz were Leo clip' me."
He thought as he tore his gaze away from his arm. Raph searched around the darkness, fearing he was still in that AWFUL nightmare. He soon realized he was in his room. He began to relax, but memories of the horrible sight of himself, 'evil.' shot into his eyes. He soon threw his palms to his ears, hearing the horrible screams of too many different people and bringing severe pain to his psyche, and they were only getting louder and more hurtful. Raph screwed his eyes shut and clenched his teeth together, trying to block the pain of the terrifying screams from his head causing him to moan in pain. The memory of hearing such screams was becoming to much for him to hear. Raph suddenly threw his head up in the air, still tightly gripping his ears and shouted out in pain.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! IT HURTS! IT HURTS! STOOOOOOOP!" He tried to fight the unbearably growing pain in his head, but something was zapping his strength away. He felt like he was losing his mind, he could feel himself changing. Raph began to shout again. Shout for anyone's help, Leo's help.
"L-LEO! PLE...ASE! HELP ME! IT HURTS!" Raph was now on his knees very firmly clutching his head, sobbing and begging for help. The screams were getting much worse and his shouting became louder and more hoarse.
With that, Leo came busting into Raph's room not bothering to waste even a millisecond to rush over to Raph and hold him in his arms.
Raph then buried his head into Leo's chest clutching his head tighter every passing moment.
"LEO! PLEASE...MAKE IT STOP! STOP THE SCREAMING! IT...IT HURTS SO BAD!"
Leo stared down at Raph in total hurt and panic. He held Raph close to him and tried his hardest to stay calm.
"RAPH! LISTEN TO THE SOUND OF MY VOICE! JUST TRY AND CALM DOWN AND ONLY LISTEN TO ME!" Raph continued to struggle and scream, but almost immediately stopped his harsh thrashing and screaming and fell completely silent. Raph was also no longer holding his head, his arms slid down and fell to his sides and his body was highly relaxed. Out of nothing but brotherly panic and just plain panic, Leo began to wonder the worst for his suffering little brother since such a sudden relaxation could only mean one thing. Leo ten immediately threw his hand under Raph's chin and gently raised Raph's head to see his face. But what Leo saw nearly gave him a heart attack; Raph's eyes were blood-shot glowing red and was smiling, terrifyingly
