Well, I wasn't going to update this at all, but my one reviewer inspired me to continue. Please read and review! Oh, and one warning about this chapter: I've been too serious in this story so far, so I needed some humor. There is some out of characterness in this chapter.
Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo were ready to fight Shredder and any of his goons. They were going to do whatever it took to get Donatello back. Their plan was simple. They were going to sneak in together, fight off whatever Foot ninja where in the way, and get their brother back. They just hoped Donny wasn't too hurt or dead before they found him.
They sneaked into an open window and saw no Foot ninja, so they entered in. They made sure to be as quiet as possible and looked around. They weren't the least bit surprised when Shredder and all the Foot ninja showed up out of nowhere.
"Give us back our brother and we'll leave you alone, Shredder." Said Leo in his awesome leader voice.
"What makes you think I'll give him back to you without a fight, you fool?" asked Shredder.
"Good point," Leo said as the battle began.
They fought for a while, but Shredder got tired of fighting as he noticed the Foot was losing miserably. He frowned.
"Stop!" Shredder yelled.
"Why?" asked Raph. He was just starting to warm up.
"If you continue to fight, I will kill your brother." Shredder said, glaring evilly at the three turtles standing before him. "But, if Leonardo trades himself for his brother, then I will leave you alone forever."
"What?" Mikey yelled.
"Are you deaf or do you do it just to annoy me?" Shredder asked, huffing. "I will set Donatello free if Leonardo lets me dispose of him."
The turtles were speechless. They didn't know what to do. They knew they couldn't let Don get killed, but they couldn't let Leo die either. Every brother was important to the team, and if one of them died…well, they wouldn't know what to do about that.
Shredder grinned evilly.
"I can see that you're having trouble choosing what to do," Shredder said. "I guess I'll just kill Donatello. But don't worry; I'll be sure to send you his dead body right after I'm done with him."
"I hate you!" Raph yelled.
"Duh," Shredder said. "Why would you like me considering I'm about to kill a family member?"
"I'll do it," Leo said suddenly.
"What was that?" Shredder asked smugly.
"I'll die if you promise to leave my family alone," said Leo sadly.
His brothers were shocked. They knew Leo would die for any family member, but they didn't want it to ever happen! They were only sixteen, for crying out loud! Why did everyone hate them?
"Come with me," said Shredder. Leo obeyed and put his katana in their sheaths.
Don was so upset he could have cried when Shredder came into the room with Leonardo. Shredder cut his chains with Leo's katanas.
"Leo, what's going on?" asked Don.
"Tell Master Splinter I love him," Leo said those words as if they were in an opera.
"Get out of here," Shredder hissed.
"What?" Don asked. He stood up. His cut reopened when he did and he limped greatly when he tried to walk. He felt like it was hard to breathe and knew some ribs were cracked. His arm was bent at a weird angle but he ignored the pain. "What's going on?"
"Your brother would rather himself die than you, Donatello." Shredder said with a sneer. "But after I kill him I sweared that I wouldn't bother you any more."
Don's mouth went wide open. Leo was giving his life for him! Don couldn't help but feel guilt. If he was a better ninja, he wouldn't have let Shredder take him.
"L-Leo, you don't have to do this." Don said. He was beginning to feel dizzy from the blood loss but he shook some of it off.
"It's been nice knowing you, brother." Said Leo. Shredder got impatient at waiting for Don to leave so he could kill Leonardo in peace. He told his Foot ninja to take him to where his brothers where.
They obeyed quickly and grabbed his arms and pulled him away. They brought him outside where his other brothers were waiting for him.
"Don!" Mikey yelled when he saw Don in his horrible condition.
"Where's Leo?" Raph yelled. Don looked at Raph sadly and opened his mouth to reply, but then he saw something that made his stomach feel like it was going to throw itself up.
And here's the end of the chapter! I hope you like this story. Please read and review!
