Leo went into the lair in exhaustion and disbelief. He couldn't believe that he said all those things to Raph that caused him to run away and what worse he didn't go look for him since someone has to go tell Splinter what's going on. Plus maybe it was a good thing Leo was sent to tell Splinter because he feels like he really needed to talk to. Donnie will probably give him a lecture,Mikey might either try to cheer him up or turn him into a joke,April might be a little too understanding by putting herself in danger to find Raph and Casey... Leo might as well forget he did wanted to talk to someone about it,but more like a parent figure to him rather than a brother or a friend. But fortunately for Leo he managed to find Splinter at the lair alone.
"Um Splinter" called out Leo to get his adopted rat father's attention. Which he managed to get. "Can I talk to you?"
"Hello Leonardo and of course you can speak to me" Asked Splinter "Where's your brothers?"
"That's exactly what I wanted to talk to you about" began Leo nervously "You see my brothers went after Raph and the reason why they have to go after him is because of an argument we had." Now that's capturing Splinter's attention and already notching Leo to sit next to him.
"But both of you had many fights before" pointed out Splinter "what makes this one any different?" Now that question got Leo nervous since what will Splinter say if he tells him what he said to Raph before he ran off.
"Well I said something that I'm now regretting" explained Leo nervously "I said that we didn't need him and I hate Raph." Splinter took a calm breath of air and looked at Leo.
"You must make it up to Raphael and prove your affection." said Splinter "since both of you have a relationship that shouldn't be permanently damaged by this."
"I know Sensei but we need to find him first" pointed out Leo "and plus he'll never forgive me after this! it's going to be like the last two weeks since I've came home all over again!"
"Yeah I must admit I'm worried about that as well." said Splinter "But Raphael may be mad for a while not forever since he does care about and you never know what would happen if you don't try."
"Yeah but this is Raph we're talking about" said Leo "I don't know if he'll ever forgive me and not to mention I put the battle over him and if something happens to him. It will be all my fault."
"Look Leonardo it may be your fault that Raph is now currently missing" said Splinter "But it won't be your fault if something happens to him since you can do something to help him and fix your mistake as well."
"You're right" said Leo "I might as well take a chance and try to make it up to Raph. Even if he doesn't want to."
"Even if he refuses, then you must prove it to him" said Splinter " Since both of you have a good relationship and you two can't just throw it away just because of a disagreement."
"Yeah I won't let that happen" said Leo determinedly thanks Sensei" Then the two of them had a quick embrace before getting interrupted by the two other turtles.
"Leo, Sensei!" Called out Mikey grabbing both theirs attentions and ruining the tender moment which caused both of them to break up the hug. Before continuing on Both Donnie and Mikey stopped to catch their breath. Once they do, Donnie Took over the talking.
"We searched the entire city and couldn't find Raph anywhere" hastilly explained Donnie "and we were wondering if Raph came back here and you guys might have seen him."
"Raphael hasn't come by here at all." Said Splinter "both of you are sure that you've searched the entire city?"
"Positive" said Donnie with Mikey nodding his head. Now all of them began to worry and wonder where is Raph. Soon everyone got their answer when all the turtles shell phones began to ring.
"That was totally unexpected." Said Mikey "one minute we couldn't't find Raph and the next minute our shell phones start ringing."
"Then let answer it" said Leo at once "maybe that's Raph trying to call us for something" which all three turtles picked up their own shell phone and open it up and put it in their ear/head to hear it. Before Mikey or Donnie could say anything,Leo already took the job of answering to the call.
"Raph is that you?!" Said Leo in an eargent voice "say something! Anything!" But once they heard the response from the shell phone but to their surprise, Raph didn't answer and it was the turtles most hated enemy.
"Hello freaks" said Hun through the other side of the phone. Which the other turtles gaped in shock once they heard the voice from the other end of the phone.
"Hun where's Raph?!" Demanded Leo furiously and worridly.
"Where did you get his Shell phone?" Asked Mikey curiously
"And more importantly how did you figure out how does his phone work without even having your own." Added on Donnnie.
"simple I managed to get your fellow turtle as my prisoner which I also happy and proud to say that he's my prisoner and I managed to get access to his little phone as well." said Hun proudly "plus to answer one of you're questions before hand I managed to test some buttons until I found one that to call all of you."
"Where is he?!" Demanded Leo angrily on the phone and looks ready to tackle someone and beat him up so hard.
"Oh just near the pere" said Hun "You better hurry or else."
"Or else what?" Asked Mikey nervously and then they heard a sound which is teeth sucking and Hun giving an evil laugh at the end and hung up on the other end.
"We have to go save him" said Donnie determinedly "with Raph's poor condition and who knows what Hun might be doing to him."
"Your right Donnie I have to go save him." Said Leo with a strong amount of determination.
"Uh don't you mean 'we'?" Asked Mikey.
"No I have to do this on my own." Said Leo determinedly and ignoring his brothers shock expressions
"But Leo you can't' just go fight Hun and rescue Raph on your own." Protested Donnie "you need us in order to make the rescue mission a success."
"no I don't" said Leo stubbornly "since it's my fault that Raph's there with that maniach in the first place. So I have to fix my mistake and make it up to Raph and I need to do it alone." Before Mikey or Donnie were able to protest against their brother's decision, Splinter stopped them.
"He's right my sons" said Splinter "Leonardo can only fix things between him and Raphael by doing it alone without your help." Both of the younger brothers exchange a worried look to each other in worry. Since the first time Leo faced Hun along with an army of minions behind his back it didn't end so well, but then again they all grew as ninjas and they gotten better. Plus if Splinter says it's alright then must be alright right?
"Oh right just be careful" said Donnie immediately after thinking all that. But that doesn't stop him from worrying.
"Please bring Raphie back." Said Mikey in a worried and pleading voice. Mikey was worried of the same thing as Donnie But also worried that he might wound up loosing both of his older brothers on the same day.
"Thanks guys" said Leo grateful of their concern and Splinter's sudden chance of opportunity. "Just don't worry I'm going to bring Raph home safe and sound or it's the last thing I do." With that Leo left on his way to save Raph. While the rest of the family watched him go in silence until...
"Follow him" said Splinter immediately after Leo's gone.
"Excuse me Sensei?" Asked a confused Mikey not believing his ears. Which surprised the normally calm Donnie as well.
"You heard me" said Splinter calmly "I'm just as worried as you two are and I only tried to give Leonardo confidence in order to save his relationship and rescue Rapheal. So I gave him a push, but that doesn't mean he might help from his loyal and faithful brothers." Which soon he earned a sigh of relief from both turtles.
"For a moment, you got me worried there sensei" said Donnie relief.
"I'm sorry about that Donatello" said Splinter "and you all must go if you want to do any good and help Leonardo" before Donnie could say anything Mikey was ready for action and could hardly wait another minute for the rescue mission.
"Come on, we could follow him more quickly and quietly if we go on the Turtle Hauler" said Mikey eargently, which Donnie quickly follow his younger brother into the vheical and both of them turned to Splinter.
"Here!" Said Donnie tossing his shell phone to Splinter "We'll call you if we find Raph before Leo does or any upgrades on our little secret mission."
"Don't worry Sensei, we won't let you down!" Said Mikey excitedly before the Turtle Hauler drove away.
"Good luck my sons" said Splinter as he watch the Turtle Hauler drive away.
Meanwhile at the pere
Hun was busy beating up Raph in order to fulfil the next step of his plan. Which was something that once this is over and Raph survives then the two could argue about this situation for hours. Since Hun was enjoying beating up the turtle who always cause him trouble and Raph on the other hand was not enjoying it obiously. Since he was feeling pain all over, the world becoming hotter and hotter by the minute and he just went unconscious. Plus with no sighns of his brothers, Splinter or friends figuring out or finding out what's going on and haven't came by. Raph just about had lost hope on getting rescued and getting out of there alive.
"What's the matter freak?" sneered Hun happily and proudly "too weak to fight back?" little did Hun know is that he's talking to an unconscious turtle. Things seem to be an easy win until... Leo jumped in front of his weak brother ready to protect him.
"Leave him alone!" demanded Leo angrily ready to for for all his might.
First of I want to say that I'm sorry for the delay, it's just that I'm busy wirh two other fanfics besides this one so I've been working on them and trying to finish the other up. I also have school to worry about and I just couldn't find time. But the important thing is that it's up now and I just hope that it's worth the wait.
