Thank you all for reading my fanfiction, Nightmare or Reality. This is chapter six. So no one will be confused, I am writing a majority of this chapter as a flashback. Please read and review. P.S. I do not own Tmnt
"Something different happened to each of us," started Raphael, "We're going to tell you in the order from which we fiqured it out, ok knucklehead?"
"Hai Raphie," Mikey shot back, bringing up the nickname they used for Raphael when they were little.
"Well, my part took place a few hour's after the accident..."
=========Flashback========
"Uggh," growled Raphael as he sat up rubbing his head. At first he couldn't see, but then his eye's adjusted to the dark. He was in his room. How did I get here, thought the hot-headed turtle. He got up and walked over to where Spike usually was, but stopped. Sometime's he forgot that Spike and became Slash and had tried to destroy his brother's. He left that spot before tear's came to his eye's. Even if Donatello had turned Slash back to normal, it would no longer be the same. Raphael would always know what the turtle wanted to do. He shoved away the thought's and opened the door to his room. When he entered the lair, he saw no Leo watching the annoying show Space Heroes, he saw no Mikey goofing around and reading comics, and he didn't see Donatello working on his laptop.
Splinter sensed movment while he meditated in the dojo. Quickly getting up, he walked into the lair where a confused Raphael was looking for his brother's. "They are not in the lair, my son," said Splinter. He walked over to Raphael and sat with him on the couch.
"What happened sensai. Why aren't Mikey, Fearless, and Donnie out here. I know it's not in the middle of the night."
"Raphael, they have not woken since the accident in Donatello's lab," explained Splinter. He didn't want to remind his son about what had happened, but he had to tell him.
"What happened. Did I mutate! Did they!?" Raphael looked as though he was about to panic. He could not believe it. If something happened to his brother's because of him, he would go insane with the guilt. He promised himself if he had hurt them, he would panic.
"Do not panic, Raphael, none of you changed by what i could tell." explained Splinter. After a few minute's of talking he saw Raphael become tired. He was trying to stay awake but could not. Splinter decided to leave his sleepy son alone as he went to his room as well. It was only 6 PM, but he too felt tired after all that had happened in one day. He was also worried that his sons might never be the same.
After Splinter left, Raphael yawned and walked into the kitchen. I have to stay awake, stated Raphael to himself as he made coffee. He never really drank much because it made him jittery with energy, but he needed it to stay awake. After finishing a cup of the bitter coffee-he couldn't find anything to put in it-he walked into Donnie's room. He felt calm walking into the room. Sitting in a chair by his little brothers bed, he watched Donnie as he looked focused on something, as if he was still inventing even in his sleep.
"The symbol for Pi is easy to learn," mumbled the sleeping Donatello. Yep, he is still working whenever he is asleep, Thought Raphael and he touched his brothers shoulder to see if he would wake up. But instead of waking his brother up, Images started to flash before Raphael's eyes. He reconized most of them. They were memories of Donatello. From when he was the first to talk, to when he learned how to make medicines. He even saw the times where he had beaten Donnie at practice, hit Donatello when he got mad, and most of all yelling at him. He could feel the pain that Donnie had felt at that time. He had no idea how much he had hurt his little brother. It was strange, and the more Raphael saw, the more he felt as though the memories were his own. This startled Raphael as he let go of Donnie, and the images dissapeared. Raphael got up and walked to his room silently. How could he see the memories of Donatello, and even know some of what Donnie knew. When he jumped onto his bed, it hit him. That mutagen wasn't made to mutate things, it was made to change the abilities of other's. He sat up as he started to wonder what else he could do, and even see if he could control it.
He decided to go to Leonardo's room. He touched Leo's head, and instantly images flashed at him. When he focused his mind for it to stop, it did. Well my idea was right. Now what? he asked himself, as he let go of Leo. Another though came to him, what would happen if he meditated. Going back to his own room he sat down on the floor and began to meditate. After a few moment's of silence, Raph lost all patience and got up. He suddenly felt very light and when he turned around, he saw himself, sitting still as a rock. It was weired because he was still breathing. Raphael nearly jumped with joy with the fact that he could also extend his own spirit, but how far? He walked all over the lair. He was even able to go to the surface, unseen in the bright daylight as he watched more people than he ever saw run around. He was even able to spy on some foot ninja.
Soon, though, as he walked around the square, he felt something. It was as if someone was trying to wake him up. He focused on that, and soon came out of his trance. He looked up at a worried Leonardo, but Raphael just grinned.
"Guess what I can do now, bro," grinned Raphael at Leonardo. He laughed when he saw the bewilderment on Leonardo's face.
====Flashback End=====
"Wooow...That's soo cool Raphie!" Michelangelo jumped up and hugged his brother. Raphael tried to get out of his grip, but was unsuccessful until Splinter came in with pizza. It was Michelangelo's favorite, pepperoni. After eating the delicious pizza, it was time to go back to talking. "That's awesome. What can you guy's do?" asked Mikey at his other two brother's, as he finished the last slice of pizza. Donnie finished his and scooted forward in is seat.
"I guess it's my turn now," chuckled Donnie. He cleared his throat as he bagan to speak. "It was a month after the accident. Raphael started to be a little nicer due to the fact that he could feel what we felt at any time, just by touching us. But he was still a jerk..
=====Flashback======
Donatello stared at April. He didn't mean to, but he couldn't help it. She was going to a dance later that evening, and was showing two of the turtle's and Splinter her outfit. The theme for the dance was Fudal Japan (I think that's how you spell fudal). It was a light yellow color, and it resembled a kimono. The strap around her waist was a light purple, a perfect contrast to the yellow, and she even had her hair in a traditional style. She even went as far as wearing the shoes people from Japan wore at that time.
"Wow," Donatello was at a lost for words. "So, who's taking you to the dance?"
"No one. But nobody said I couldn't go without a date," explained april. "You guy's should come for the Halloween party in October."
"It'll depend if Michelangelo is awake or not," sighed Splinter. "He was covered in the most mutagen and now he need's a heart moniter and breathing tube."
"I'm sure he will wake up soon," said Leonardo full of hope, "Even if it last's ten years, we will be there for him when he wake's up."
"That's so sweet Leo." smiled April as they all looked at the entrance to the lair. In walked Raphael. He had been in his room all day. Once, when Leonardo walked in there earlier that day, he was meditating. He walked straight over to Donatello.
"Hey, close the trap Donnie while you look at April, your going to catch a fly," teased Raphael, giving him a playful punch to the arm.
"I-I-I'm going to my lab," studdered Donatello as he walked to his lab and closed the door. On one end of the lab was Michelangelo laying on a bed. Donnie went to the other end, where his invention's and stuff to fix were. Sighing he sat down to fix the broken coffee machine. It was hard to concentrate whenever there wasn't a little brother to bother you all the time. Every second he was expecting his little brother to burst in through the door's and mess up his lab with more of his prank's. But the prank's never came. After a while he became lonely. Without his little brother, it was alway's less fun and the B team was no more. Secretly, Donnie needed Mikey sometimes. He knew that Michelangelo was as smart as him, but his little brother pretended not to, with the occasional smart theory every once in a while.
"Donnie suddenly felt a tear on his cheek. Really, at a time like this I have to cry. Raphael might even be spying on me, he tought. He quickly wiped it away and went back to fixing the machine. But, he wasn't thinking as he was fixing a few wire's, and it caught on fire. He was oddly drawn to it. Again, not thinking, he touched the small flame. It wrapped around his had and left the coffee machine. When Donatello focuced, he made the fire dissappear. He instantly jumped up and ran into the lair.
"What is it Donnie?" asked Leonardo worringly.
"Yes, what is it Donatello, you look as though you have seen a ghost." agreed Splinter
"I-I can control FIRE!" yelled Donatello nearly losing it.
======Flashback End=========
"Whoah, really?" asked Michelangelo. He looked at Donnie as though he wanted proof. Donatello chuckled and made a small flame appear in the palm of his hand, not even burning him. But when Michelangelo touched it, he got a small burn.
"Hey, It's almost 8:00." announced Raphael, looking at the clock. "You will have to make this one fast Fearless."
"I will," promised Leonardo. He looked at Michelangelo as he started his story. "It was actually four month's ago when I found out my own power.." Leonardo started
==========Flashback=======
Leonardo was sharpening his twin katana in his room. At the time, he was jelous of Raphael and Donatello. They both had great powers. Lately, even, Raphael made a spiked gauntlet to help out whenever there are too many foot's to fight. Leo knew that Raphael didn't want to see any of their pasts, so he played it safe. Donatello made a fire proof Bo staff, which he would light on fire during battle's. But Leonardo was stuck with sword's. Nothing was different. He didn't feel different, nor did he do anything off. He was a little glad, though. If he was either one of his brother's, it would be non stop focusing so nothing could get out of hand.
While he was off thinking, he cut his hand.
"Ouch! Darn it." he growled as he grabbed for his bandages he kept in his room. But once he had found it, the cut was gone, and no blood was left behind. Did I just imagine it? he asked himself as he walked into the lair. Donatello was practicing making fire smoke look like heart's for april for her birthday. Raphael was watching wrestling. Leonardo went into the kitchen to start dinner. As he was cutting up vegetables, he cut his finger. He was going to wash it off, but he saw it heal before his eyes. As he gasped in shock, the water fom the sink started to form little bubbles.
"Don't tell me, You can control water and you can heal quickly?" quessed Donatello as he walked into the kitchen to watch Leonardo control the water.
"Yep." was all Leonardo could say.
