i do NOT own TMNT! Sadly...
in the shack in the 2012 dimension, everyone was asleep on the floor. Mikey12 had cried himself to sleep from the talk they all had. donnie12 was asleep on his right and april12 was asleep on his left. mikey12 began to stir in his sleep, making donnie12 wake up.
"Mikey?" asked donnie12
MIkey12 didn't answer and only kept stirring. april12 woke up from the combination of mikey12 stirring and donnie12's voice.
"donnie? whats going on?" asked april12
"mikey?" asked donnie12 as he gently shook mikey12's right leg to wake him up
mikey12 seized his stirring and slowly woke up.
"mikey, are you ok? you keep stirring in your sleep" asked donnie12
"oh, sorry" apologized mikey12
"don't be sorry mikey, just tell us whats wrong" said april12
"my arm has just been bothering me lately" explained mikey12
donnie12 sighed "mikey, i wish there was something i could do"
"donnie, your main concern right now should be getting us out of here and finding leo. not me" said mikey12
"i know, but i feel useless just sitting here. leo is hurt and i don't even know where he is" said donnie12
"you need to have faith that leo can take care of himself. who knows, he could be in good hands right now"said mikey12
"or bad ones" objected donnie12
"mikeys right donnie, besides, i would be abel sense if something was wrong" explained april12
donnie12 sighed again "ok" agreed donnie12. knowing that april12 could sense if something was wrong put donnie at slight ease. but that ease suddenly disappeared when the door flew open.
in came slash with a an all too familiar black thing waiting outside. donnie12 and april12 stood up. donnie12 took out his bo staff and april12 took out her tisane, holding it in her right hand. donnie12 charged at slash first, jumping and raising his bo over his head. he struk down but slash caught his bo in mid air. slash threw donnie12 at the wall as april12 charged. april12 swung her tisane at slash only for slash to dodge it. she swung again, and again only for slash to dodge those too. april12 swung one last time. slash grabbed april12's right arm in mid swing and threw her to the wall beside donnie12.
"don't you remember? i said you were next" said slash
mikey12 had to get out of this. but how? then he got an idea.
"why would you leave us with our wepons if you were capturing us?" asked mikey12 he had to keep slash talking. he had to stall.
"because im not like the shredder. im actually giving you fighting chance" explained slash
"doesn't that mean leo still has his swords?" asked mikey12
"like i said, fighting chance" said slash
"you mest up, didn't you?" asked mikey12 as he pointed at slash with his left arm
"no i didnt! i gave him a fighting chance!" yelled slash
"ya, shure you did" said Mikey12 in a moking tone
"im letting you keep your wepon when i put you through that thing to give you a fighting chance" said slash
"no, its to try to prove that you didnt mess up" said mikey12
mikey12 saw donnie12 sneaking up behind slash with his bo in hand. mikey12 finally felt some relife. donnie12 jumped on slash and put his bo on the other side of one one of slashes spikes. slash was abel to easaly grab him and throw him back against the wall he was just at. slash walked tawards mikey12 and grabbed him by him good arm. mikey12 started yelling for donnie12 and apriil12 while slash walked tawards the black portal.
"aaah! donnie! help!" screamed mikey12 before he got thrown into the black portal
the black portal dissapeard along with the youngest turtle, who had no idea who was waiting for him on the other side.
not too far away, casey12 was still looking for donnie12 april12 and leo12.
"maybey i should head back" casey12 was talking to himself as always
tthen casey12 noticed a shack in the distance. he slowly walked tawards it. casey12 got close enough to see some of the details on it.
"that is deffanatly not the creeps shack. so, who's is it?" asked casey12 to himself
slash then appeard into casey12's view, into the moon light.
"what the" said casey12 to himself
slash noticed casey12 looking at him. when slash turned to face him, casey12 felt like slashes eyes were piercing right through him. casey12 immediately grabed a hokey stick from his back and ran at slash. casey12 swung at slash but slash caught the stick in mid swing. slash threw casey12 against a near by tree. slash walked to casey12 and picked him up before starting to walk to the door of the shack.
"hey, put me down" yelled casey12
"don't you want to see your friends?" asked slash
"you have them? where are they?" asked casey12
"you are about to find out jones" said slash
"who are you, and how do you know my name?" asked casey12
"the name's slash" said slash as he removed the piece of wood holding the door shut
"slash? raph told me about you before, i thought you two were cool" said casey12
"not a chance" said slash as he opened the door to the shack
slash took casey12's phone before he threw casey12 in the shack. slash closed the door and put the piece of wood back to make shure no one could get out.
in the 2003 dimension...
everyone was asleep, and it was quiet. then out of nowhere there was a scream, then a loud thud. everyone woke up because of the noise. raph03, donnie03 and mikey03 ran out of their rooms. leo12 only sat up, knowing that standing was a bad idea at the time. the three 2003 turtles looked down in the livingroom so see mikey12 on the floor, right across from a fimiliar shrinking black portal. leo03 was staring at mikey in shock. the portal compleatly dissapeard in secconds before leo03 bolted to his room to tell leo12 the news.
"leo, bro. what are you so surprised about, we have already gone through this once tonight" said raph03 as leo03 ran up the stairs
"i think his arm might be broken, go help him, i need to tell leo" commanded leo03 before running into his room
leo12 looked at leo03 with worry when he came in.
"was that mikey?"asked leo12
"ya it was" answerd leo03
"is he ok? how is his arm?" asked leo12
"i dont know, raph donnie and mikey are helping him right now" answerd leo03
"yo leo! get down here!" yelled raph03 from down stairs
"i will be right back" said leo03 before running out the door "whats wrong!" yelled leo03 to raph03
"he's freaking out because your not here!" answerd raph03
"oh no" said leo12 to himself. leo03 heard it since he was still right outside the door
"what do you mean by oh no?" asked leo03 as he leand into the room
"you better get down there, i will explain later" said leo12
leo03 nodded before running down the stairs and into the livingroom. mikey12 just stared at leo03 when he walked in.
"calm down, your leo is right upstairs" explained leo03 in a soothing tone
"he is?" asked mikey12
"yes, he is. we have only been trying to tell you that the whole time!" exclaimed donnie03
"huh, i guess i just needed to see leo to calm down" explained mikey12 "even if its not my leo"
"well good thing im here then" said leo03 "come on, leo is in my room"
leo03 extended his hand towards mikey12. mikey12 excepted leo03's hand and grabbed it so leo03 could help mikey12 up on his feet. mikey12 held his right arm to his plastron as if it was in a sling. everyone of corse noticed this and leo03 remembered leo12's question.
"how's your arm?" asked leo03
"to be honest, bad" answered mikey12
"i can help with that in my lab" said donnie03
"thanks, but after i see leo, ok?" said mikey12
"shure" said leo03 as they all started walking towards the stairs
when they got to leo03's room, mikey12 immediately ran in and hugged leo12 with his left arm.
"mikey!" yelled leo12 with glee as he hugged his baby brother back
"dude, i was so worried, i thought you were gone leo" said mikey12
they both pulled away from the hug.
"im right here now mikey" said leo12
"but, what about the dart?" asked mikey12
"the only thing bothering me now is my leg, i will be fine, it was probably nothing" leo12 was lying. he knew that the dart caused the fever, but he didn't want mikey12 to know about it. it would just give him something els to worry about.
"besides, what about your arm?" asked leo
"i was going to take him to my lab after this" said donnie03
"well then go, the longer you wait, the longer it will take to heal. i will still be here when you get back" said leo12
mikey12 just nodded before leaving the room, with donnie03 right behind him. leo12 sighed and looked down.
"what is it?" asked leo03
"well, mikey was just getting over the whole alien invasion thing. almost losing me, almost losing raph the day after i woke up, not knowing if splinter is gone, everything. now this, i think he was freaking out because he cant lose any one els after everything that has happened" explained leo12
"it was that bad?" asked raph03
"ya, and thats not even the half of it" said leo12
"im really sorry to hear that, is there any way i can help ya?" asked raph03
"mikey is the one that really needs help right now, not me" said leo12
"we will help the best we can" said leo03
in donnie03's lab, donnie03 was wrapping up mikey12's arm from his hand to right below his elbow.
"how is leo?" asked mikey12
"im going to say pretty good right now. his leg is pretty bad but that will heal" explained donnie03
"what about the dart?" asked mikey12
"didn't you hear? leo said it was not really effecting him" said donnie03. donnie03 knew the dart caused leo12 to have a fever, but he didn't want mikey12 to freak out again.
"well, sometimes leo doesn't tell me or anybody for that matter, the whole truth. he doesn't want anyone one to worry about him. at the farmhouse he hated all the un wanted attention everytime he was hurting, so he never told anyone unless it was unbareable. he would push his limits and re injure himself. he didn't like to talk about him self" mikey12 then chukeld "unless it was about space heros or captan ryan"
"space heroes? what's that?" asked donnie03
"it's leo's favourite tv show" explained mikey12 with a chuckle "he would always re site lines from the main character, captain Ryan"
"it's pretty funny" said donnie03 as he put mikey12's right arm in a sling
"what?"asked mikey12
"that both our leo's have an on going battle with toasters" explained donnie03
mikey12 laughed "ya, who would have known"
"ok, im done, now try not to move it, like, at all" explained donnie03
"ok, but, how long will it take to heal?" asked mikey12
"a few months" answered donnie03
"I'm beginning to think slash has a thing with arms" said mikey12
"why is that?" asked donnie03
"the first time slash attacked us, he sprained donnie's arm, now today, he broke mine" explained mikey12
donnie03 giggled "come on, let's go check on leo"
mikey12 followed donnie03 out of the lab. when they walked out, they could see leo03, raph03 and mikey03 walking tawards the lab.
"oh, hey donnie, we were just coming to see if you were done" said mikey03
"i just finished, we were about to go check on leo" said donnie03
"ok but come back down after, we better keep watch" said leo03
"keep watch of what?" asked mikey12
"leader boy over here thinks the rest of your brothers are going to come through the portal tonight" explained raph03
"it would make sence" said donnie03
"you mean, the rest of by bro's could be here soon?" asked mikey12
"it's possibe" said leo03
"sweet! i can't wait to tell leo" exlaimed mikey12
"let's go then" said donnie03
mikey12 an donnie03 went up stairs and into leo03's room. leo12 was still sitting up with his bad leg strait and his good leg bent up. leo12 straitend his good leg and sat himself up a little more.
"hey" said leo12
"hey" said mikey12 as donnie03 walked to the side of the bed
"um, leo, if you dont mind, can i sleep in here tonight?"asked mikey12
"of cours you can" answerd leo12
"i can set up make shift bed on the floor if you want" said donnie03
"ya that would be great, thanks" said mikey12
"no problem" said donnie03 as he walked out of the room
"are you having nightmares? is that why you want to sleep in here?" asked leo12
mikey12 just shook his head no
"what is it then?" asked leo12
"i want to wake up knowing your ok and still here" answered mikey12
"I'm not going anywhere Mikey" said leo12
"but you almost did, twice" said mikey12
"what do you mean?" asked leo12
"i mean we almost lost you at the farmhouse, and now this" answered mikey12
"but mikey, im awake now, and why is now the same?" asked leo12
"when you got thrown into the portal, we all thought you were in danger, and not here" answered mikey12 "i was afraid i would never see you again"
leo12 sighed "things will get better. i promise"
"i know they will, the other guys said they had a theory that our bros will be coming through the portal too" said mikey12
"they did?" asked leo12
"ya they did, they said that if i came through after you then why wouldn't they" answered mikey12
leo12 smiled "maybe there is more hope then i thought"
-TMNT-
donnie03 raps some pillows together with a blannket for a mattress for mikey12 to sleep on. mikey12 didn't care that he had to sleep on pillows and a blanket on the floor, he was just happy that he got to sleep with leo12. the 2003 turtles were all sitting on the coutch. donnie03 at the end, leo03 to his right. to the right of leo03 was mikey03 and to mikey03's right was raph.
"how long was it between Mickey's and leo's arrivals" asked leo03
"about an hour" answered donnie03
"and, how long has it been since mikey showed up" asked raph03
"about fifty minuets, so that means donnie could come through the portal in about ten minuets" answered donnie03
"but, what about april?" asked mikey03
"why would the shredder want april?" asked leo03
"i don't know" answered mikey03
"well, who ever it is, we don't know if they will be injured as well" said leo03
upstairs in leo03's bedroom, leo12 and mikey12 were asleep. mikey12 woke up because his arm was bugging him again, but he noticed he was not alone when it came to this. mikey12 saw leo12 stirring in his sleep. mikey12 sighed before getting up and walking to leo12. mikey12 put leo12's leg in a comfortable position. when mikey12 let go of leo12's leg, leo12 seemed to stir less. mikey12, feeling a little satisfied, layed back on to his make shift bed, and went back to sleep.
in the 2012 dimension...
"casey?" asked april12
"hey red" said casey12 as he stood up and brushed himself off
april12 ran over to casey12 and huged him and casey12 huged her back
"sorry to break this up, but we are kindof trying to find a way out" said donnie12
"what's the rush anyways?" asked casey12 as he and april12 pulled away from the hug
"if we don't get out of here, you guys are on your own" said donnie12
"what do you mean?" asked casey12
"slash has been comeing back to the shack to take one of the guys, he already took leo and mikey and put them through this creepy black portal thing" explained april12
"and by the looks of it, im next" added donnie12
"leo and mikey were here too?" asked casey12
"ya, amd im really worried about them, mikey with his arm and leo with his leg, and i still don't know what was in that dart" said donnie12
"im sure they can take care of themselves, but for now, let's just hope thry are ok and look for a way out" said april12.
donnie12 just nodded in response. little did he know, in a few secconds it would be too late. a few secconds after the conversation had ended, slash came into the shack. donnie12 and april12 drew out their wepons and casey took out a hokey stick. they all charged on slash at the same time. slash just swung his arm nd knoked everyone back against the wall.
"let'a go Donatello" said slash
"not gunna happen" said donnie12
"oh ya? do you want to end up hurt like the others?" asked slash "because that's what will happen if you put up a fight"
slash then grabbed donnie12 by his right arm and started to bring him tawards the black portal. donnie12 kicked and punched as he struggled in responce, getting a few bruises in the proses.
"donnie!" yelled april12 as she finally stood up, but she was too late.
donnie12 got thrown into the black portal and disapeard. slash picked up donnie12's discarded bo staff on the ground and threw it into the portal as well. donnie12 and the black portal dissapeard and it went quiet like nothing had ever happend. but it did happen, donnie12 was gone aswell as leo12 and mikey12.
in the 2003 dimension...
mikey03 noticed a black speck in the air getting bigger and bigger.
"guys?" said Mikey03 as he pointed to the growing black thing about 10 steps away on the left of the couch.
all three of mikey03's brothers looked to where mikey03 was pointing to see the black portal was almost fully grown. all of a sudden, donnie12 flew out of the portal followed by his bo staff witch landed on his left. all four 2003 turtles got up and ran to donnie12. donnie03 kneeled beside donnie12.
"are you ok?" asked donnie03
donnie12 looked up in shock, he immediately stood up in shock.
"wait, you're, me?" asked donnie12
"this is us, or should i say, you, in a different dimension" explained leo03
"ok i guess that makes sense. but, do you by any chance know where my leo and mikey are?" asked donnie12
"they are up in my room, sleeping" answered leo03
donnie12 gave a relieved sigh "ok, there safe" said donnie12 to himself
"now, back to my question... are you hurt?" asked donnie03
"i'm fine, just sore, thats all" answered donnie12
"ok, well... do you want to come keep watch with us?" asked mikey03
"for what?" asked donnie12
"for your brother" answered mikey03
raph03 whacked mikey03 on the head and mikey03 groaned in pain
"his raph was not in the shack, remember shell for brains" said raph03
"how did you know that?" asked donnie12
"we can view other dimensions with my dimensional portal. only the view option works at the moment, but we were planning on getting it up and running by tomorrow night to bring you guys home and rescue your april and casey if slash does not send them through the portal" explained donnie03
"ok, i'll help" said donnie12
"ok, so if april or casey don't show up in an hour, there is a verry low chance they will be coming at all" said donnie03
"why an hour?" asked donnie12
"well, someone would always come through the portal every hour. first it was your leo, then your mikey, now you" answered leo03
"ok, i guess that makes sense" said donnie12
"donnie?!" donnie12 turned to the direction of the voice to see Mikey12 standing at the bottom of the stairs with a big smile on his face.
"donnie!" yelled mikey12 with glee as he ran towards donnie12
"hey mikey" said donnie12 as he out stretched his arms just in time for Mikey12 to one arm hug him as donnie12 hugged his only little brother back.
"i thought were were a sleep" said donnie12 as they both pulled out of the hug
"i couldn't sleep, i was thinking about you" answered mikey12
"im just so happy to see you" said donnie12
"me too. leo's awake if you want to see him" said mikey12
"he's awake too?" asked donnie12
"ya, he asked me if i knew if you were here yet and i said i didn't know so i came down to see" answered mikey12
"lets go see him then" said donnie12
"I'm coming with you, i need to change his ice pack, it's probably warm by now" said donnie03
donnie12, mikey12, and donnie03 all went up and into leo03's room. when they turned on the light, leo12 looked up at them, squinting a little bit from the sudden light. leo12's eyes went wide with glee.
"donnie?" asked leo12 with a grin going from ear to ear
"hey leo" said donnie12 as donnie03, mikey12 and himself walked into the 03 just grabbed the ice pack that was sitting next to leo12.
"i will bring it right back" said donnie03 right before he left the room.
donnie12 noticed leo12 trying to sit up and struggleing a little bit. donnie12 then went over to leo12 and slowly helped him sit up.
"how are you feeling?" asked donnie12
"well, at least I'm not unconscious in a tub" said leo12
the three brothers laughed for a moment
"good to hear" said donnie12 "good to hear"
"what about you?" asked leo12
"I'm fine, just a little beat up, thats all, nothing serious" answered donnie12
"ya, sure" said leo12 with sarcasm dripping from his voice
"im fine really, i just... hit my head really hard" said donnie12 kind of nervous to reveal his injuries to his brothers
"when did that happen!?" asked leo12
"oh ya!" said mikey12 as he remembered what happened "it was epic! slash threw donnie against the wall when he was defending me" answered mikey12
"thats not when it happened" said donnie12 "i got thrown into the wall three times. once defending leo, once defending you and the third time, well...i guess you could say i was defending my self" explained donnie12 "it happened the third time and because of it, slash was abel to just walk up to me, pick me up, and throw me into the portal"
"my story was a lot more exiting" said mikey12
"well, are you ok?" asked leo12
"ya im fine, just a headache" answered donnie12.
thats when donnie03 came in "if you have a headache, i can give you some Advil to tone it down if you want" said donnie03 as he gave leo12 the ice pack. leo12 smiled in thanks, not wanting to interupet the conversation, and donnie03 smiled back.
"that would be great, thanks" said donnie12. donnie03 then left the room to get some Advil for donnie12
"hey um, did he tell you guys where there splinter is?" asked donnie12
"they said he was off doing spiritual training" answered leo12
"just like our splinter used to do" said donnie12 in a kind of sad tone
"ya, just like he used to do" said leo12, matching donnie12's tone "but I'm sure he's still alive...somewhere"
"i hope so" said donnie12
"what do mean by you hope so? you should know so!"said leo12 with a bit of urgency in his voice
"leo, bro, calm down" said mikey12
"calm down!? are you asking me to calm down?!" yelled leo12 "he's our sensai! he can get out of anything! there is no way splinter could be... he can't be" leo12 said that last part quietly as he began to cry "i don't know if i can take that responsibility being the oldest! he needs to be! he has to be alive!" tthere was a pause "this is all my fault! if i had not been so weak and helpless when i was facing the shredder-" screamed leo12 as he choked out sobs
"Leonardo!" yelled donnie12 as he put his hands firmly on Leo12's shaking shoulders. They rarely called each other by their full names."he is a great ninja master, i'm sure he's alive somewhere, but you can't blame yourself and beat yourself up over this!" yelled donnie12. leo12's crying had quieted down a bit.
"sorry, it's just that... i wasn't there when it happened and... and" stammered leo12
"and that does not matter, right now, we need to focus on getting us all in the same dimention, ok?" said donnie12
leo12 sighd "ok"
donnie03 then walked in with some Advil and and glass of water. "hey, what's with all the yelling, whats going on?" asked donnie03 as he set the glass and the bottle on the bed side table.
mikey12 just gave a sad look before he walked out of the room.
"nothing" said leo12 in a low tone as he looked away from donnie12 and donnie03. donnie12 sighed before he gestured for donnie03 to follow him out of leo03's room.
both donnie's went out into the hallway right out side leo03's room, the bottle of Advil and the glass of water completely 03 closed the door on his way out. "kitchen?" asked donnie12 "kitchen." replied donnie03
donnie03 and donnie12 then made there way to the kitchen without a word. when they got there, donnie03 sat down at the table and donnie12 sat right across from him.
"so... what was all that about?" asked donnie03
"i guess he blames himself for what happened to splinter" answered donnie12
"why would he blame himself?" asked donnie03
"he was not there when splinter... when it happened. he must think he could have done something but... we couldn't get past the bars... we couldn't do anything-" donnie12 then realized his hands were in tight fists.
"whoa whoa whoa, calm down" said donnie03. donnie12 took a deep breath, then let it out as he loosened his hands.
donnie03 sighed "from what your leo told me, and from what i head from all the yelling, there is a chance that he is still alive... right?" asked donnie03
"well, ya, i mean, he was a great ninja master... he could get out of anything" answered donnie12. donnie03 started smiling really big.
"what, what is it?" asked donnie12
"i can view any dimension, past or present, any where in the world, with my trans dimensional portal, sooo..." said donnie03, his smile growing wider
"i hear ya loud and clear" said donnie12 who now had a big smile on his face. if they knew for sure that he was alive, then they could all rest easier. but then on the other hand, what if splinter was not as fortunate as Leo...
Authors note: sorry this chapter is so late, but my doc manager would not let me make a document of this chapter. it works for everything but this chapter and continues to do so but i still managed to get it up...somehow. i think it hates me for what i have done to leo in this story. *laughs nervously* anyways, thank you for all your patients and support. i will be sure to update ASAP.
