A/N: Short chapter. Couldn't find a better place to end it without making it too long. Enjoy!

Sam leaned over the kitchen sink, the disgusting smell of bile filling her nose. She was certain that every meal she had eaten in the past week was now filling the sink pipes. She shook her head and drew her hand through her hair, tugging it out of her face. Her limbs shook and she struggled to grab a glass and fill it with water before she collapsed into a chair.

She hadn't thought that seeing Leo combined with traveling to a virtual reality would cause such a violent reaction. She had been much worse places and done much worse things than that. But still, she had known that seeing him would have struck something. Going to her brother's once she had discovered Karai's plans had been the easy part; the events that followed had been hectic and draining. But she had to keep going, at least for another. That's what she had told Leo. Just one more hour…

She grabbed container of painkillers from the cupboard and got two before throwing it back in its place and quickly swallowing the pills. She grabbed her leather jacket from the back of the couch as she ran to the garage.

The shell cycle had always scared her. She had seen too many videos in high school of what could happen on a bike, but when they had been coming up with a plan, there had been no other option. She grabbed Raph's helmet before straddling the bike. The engine growled to life, and she silently screamed a prayer that the painkillers would help if she died. She twisted the handle and the engine roared before shooting forward. She held on tight, and prayed that Leo was hanging on too.

"Sensei!" Leo cried out again. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his fraying nerves. "Think of my brothers, think of my family." He said to himself. Memories flashed across his mind.

The day he had first broken the toaster and Don had been angry with him.

The day Mikey had asked him for help after being challenged for the Battle Nexus Champion title.

The day Raph had helped him forge new swords.

The day Splinter had helped him overcome his fear of heights.

Memories of his childhood flooded his mind, and he watched, almost as watching a movie, as he and his brothers aged and matured.

"Well, everyone but Mikey." He laughed to himself. He saw all of their battles with the Shredder; Battles with Hun, the Purple Dragons, Bishop, Stockman, Karai.

Karai. The name stuck out in his mind. He continued to watch his memories, but suddenly felt lightheaded and sick. Intrigued by this particular memory, a battle with Karai in a room he didn't recognize. Mikey and Raph were on the other side of a glass wall, fighting Karai. She disappeared, and Mikey threw a punch at something Leo couldn't see. Casey was there too, but on this side of the glass facing his brothers. He was about to use a baseball bat to break through, but an unconscious form of Baxter Stockman crashed through it. Casey shot through and rushed to Raphael and Michaelangelo. The memory gained sounds; electronic whirring and beeping, dripping water, yells from his family members, though they sounded far away. They were calling his name. The memory faded and he was suddenly back in the dojo. He fell onto his back, the pain in his stomach worsening. His limbs felt tied to the floor, lifeless. It felt like there was a hand around his throat, gagging him, forcing the life out of him. He tried to scream, to open his eyes, but he couldn't move.

"Father, help me!" He cried in his mind. The moment he internally said those words, the pain was gone, but he couldn't move, and when he opened his eyes, he could see nothing but black.

Mikey watched as Raphel lunged at the retreating Karai, but Mikey was more concerned with what she had screamed moments earlier. Fear gripped his stomach as he saw Stockman freeze before comprehending and bending over the keyboard. He leapt forward and knocked Stockman away from the computer. He must have bumped something on the way down, because a large projection of what looked like their dojo was suddenly covering the entire back wall. Mike saw Leo sitting on a yoga mat, a few candles surrounding him. He looked like he was meditating, but his mouth was moving. Mikey was thrown forward and slammed into the wall by a kick from Stockman. He shook his head and ignored the oncoming headache before standing and facing his new opponent.

"Don, where are you?" He whispered into the mic on his cheek.

Static filled his ear for a moment, and he dodged another kick from Stockman before his brother answered.

"We ran into some trouble, but we're in the air shaft above Leo. Have you seen him? He looks awful!" Don said, a screwdriver screeching in the background.

"Yeah, he does. He's still in the computer though. We gotta get him out of here now." Mikey said breathlessly as he threw a punch at Stockman. He winced as it made contact with the metal body, but it managed to knock him backwards, giving Mikey time to duck and sweep Stockman's feet out from under him. Mike stood back up and out of the corner of his eye saw Don and Casey fall through the ceiling. Casey bashed one mad-scientist-looking guy's head and he crumbled to the floor as Don took out the other one. Don immediately went to Leo's side, his hands running over his brother's body, being delicate around the tubes and wires attached to nearly every inch of him. Mikey's stomach dropped at his brother's worried face. Casey suddenly blocked his view and had a baseball bat raised to shatter the glass, but out of nowhere Stockman's metal body flew towards the window and knocked out the glass. Mikey turned to where the body had come from and saw Raph. He scrunched his face in a questioning look.

Raph just looked at him innocently before snarling, "She got away."

"Hey, dudes." Casey yelled as he ran to the door, his bat and hockey stick swinging, but he dropped his arms when he saw there was nothing to hit. Mikey turned to the screen and watched his brother. Leo was still sitting on the mat, but his face looked pained and he was gripping his stomach.

"Leo!" Mikey cried.

"Aha!" Mikey spun to see Stockman huddled over the keyboard. Mikey ran towards him, his nunchucks swinging furiously. "Too late, you mindless reptile!" Stockman laughed as he ran out the door Karai had escaped from. Mikey was about to follow him before a blinking red light caught his eye. There, on the small computer screen, were two words that made Mikey's jaw drop.

SUBJECT:TERMINATED.
