Ch 12 Foolish Decisions

Leo awoke to the sound of crashing and people cursing. "What the.." the blue masked turtle muttered opening his eyes. To his shock he saw that he wasn't in his bed. Instead he was on the roof top of the TCRI building. "How'd I get here?" Leo wondered as he got to his feet. Just then he heard a thud and a grunt. Leo looked over and saw Mikey groaning and laying on his side. "Mikey!" Leo cried running over to his youngest brother's side and kneeling beside him. "Mikey are you ok?" Leo asked, helping Mikey to his feet.

"Yeah I think so," Mikey said, shaking his head. "But where's Donnie and Karai?" Both brothers looked around and saw Donnie and Karai fighting with Shredder and Tiger Claw. The brothers went to help their siblings only to be blocked by Bebop and Rocksteady.

"Hello little turtles," Rocksteady said, smiling evilly as he raised his arm striking the brothers and sending them to the ground. Leo groaned and shook his head trying to clear it. Just then to his horror he heard Karai cry out, "Donnie!" Leo looked over and saw Donnie fall to the ground, blood pouring out of his side as Shredder's blades retracted from his shell. Donnie's eyes rolled back into his head then they closed.

"No!" Leo cried out. But before he could help Karai Shredder struck again. This time he hit Karai directly in her chest running her threw and sending her into a pool of her own blood where she remained still. "Karai!" Leo cried. Just then he heard Mikey cry out as Rocksteady rammed him with his horn, taring his shell wide open. Leo's eye went wide with horror as he witnessed what had just happened. Shredder loomed over him. Leo expected him to finish him off as well. But to Leo's shock he didn't. Instead Shredder spoke to him.

"And now you live with this," was all Shredder said. With that Shredder and his goons were gone. Leo ran over to Mikey and knelt beside him.

"Mikey," he whispered, taking his baby brother's hand as the tears came. "Oh Mikey I'm sorry."

"Leo," Mikey wheezed out. "Leo why..why did you let this happen? Why didn't you save us?"

"Mikey I.." Leo chocked out.

"You were supposed to save us," Mikey whispered as he closed his eyes and breathed his last.

"Mikey no.." Leo chocked out, the tears flowing. "I'm sorry Mikey. I'm so sorry I failed you guys. I let you all down." With that Leo lowered his head and sobbed for his lost family.

Leo awoke with a start, the sweat pouring down his face and mixing with the tears that were already there. "It was just a dream," he whispered, covering his face with his hands. "Just a dream." Leo shivered and sat up in his bed. "There's no way I'm going to be able to go back to sleep," he muttered. With that Leo got out of bed and walked out to the living room, which was dark. Sitting on the couch Leo leaned forward and put his face in his hands. "I can't let my family down again," the oldest turtle said to himself. "I won't let that happen. When we go out again I'll make damn sure they're protected. Even if I have to die to do it. But I've gotta make myself stronger. I've gotta keep training." With those thoughts Leo went into the dojo to practice. But the Leo's surprise the dojo wasn't empty. Donnie was in there pushing against the wall with his weaker leg. When the purple masked heard the door open he turned his head. "Hey Leo," the gaped toothed turtle said as he sat up. "What are you doing up?"

"Couldn't sleep," was Leo's reply. "So I figured I'd get some training in. What about you?"

"Same," Donnie said as he layed back down and began to push on the wall again.

"Want some help?" Leo asked, kneeling beside his younger brother.

"Sure," Donnie said with a smile. With that Leo knelt in front of Donnie and held his hands up.

"Don't let me push your legs down," Leo commanded as Donnie put his feet in Leo's hands. With that Leo pushed on Donnie's feet and Donnie pushed back. Smiling Leo pushed harder. Donnie's right leg held strong but his left leg was visibly shaking. Donnie groaned and the sweat poured down his face as he gritted his teeth, fighting through the pain. Finally it was to much as Donnie's leg fell. "Good," Leo said with a smile. "That was really good Donnie."

"Thanks," Donnie panted as he sat up. "Your turn now Leo."

"You sure you don't wanna rest?" Leo asked, not wanting Donnie to over do it.

"Nah I'm fine," Donnie declared with a wave of his hand. "Now c'mon lay down" With that Leo layed on his back and put his feet in Donnie's hands. When Donnie closed his hands around Leo's feet he stopped. "Leo you sure you want to do this?" the purple masked turtle asked. "Your feet are awful swollen."

"I'm fine Donnie," Leo insisted. "Lets do this."

"Ok," Donnie said, still unsure about this. "If you're sure." With that Donnie pushed on Leo's feet. Leo groaned in pain and pushed back.

"Push harder Donnie," Leo grunted as the sweat poured off of him.

"Leo I don't think.." Donnie began.

"I said push harder!" Leo shouted, startling Donnie. Donnie pushed harder on Leo's feet causing his legs to shake. "Urgh," Leo groaned as the pain washed over him.

"Ok that's it I'm stopping," Donnie said releasing Leo's feet. "You're obviously in pain Leo."

"I can handle it," Leo declared as he panted for breath.

"Leo its ok if you can't handle this," Donnie began.

"I said I can handle it Donnie!" Leo shouted, siting up abruptly. "But obviously you can't! So I'll go where I can train my own way" With that Leo turned and stormed out of the dojo. Donnie stood and ran after his older brother, who was heading for the lair exit.

"Leo wait!" Donnie said running out of the lair after the blue masked turtle. But Leo paid his brother no attention and walked up the latter that lead to the surface. "Leo hold up!" Donnie cried running in front of his brother. "This isn't such a good idea."

"Donnie.." Leo began.

"No Leo listen to me," Donnie said with force putting his hands on Leo's chest. "We need to go back to the lair. We don't even have our weapons or T-coms with us. What if something happens?"

"Donnie nothing is..." Leo began. But he was interrupted by a blast of purple going through the air, knocking both him and Donnie to the ground.

"Woo yeah son tonight's my lucky night!" Bebop cried as he swooped through the air. The warthog hit Leo and Donnie again sending them once again to the ground. "Oh yea!" he cheered as he flew down and picked Donnie up by his arm. "You're coming with me son," Bebop said, his face inches from Donnie's. "Master Shredder still has plans for you." With that Bebop hit Donnie hard in the head knocking him out.

"No!" Leo cried out, running towards Bebop. But Bebop blasted Leo once again sending him into a brick wall. Leo groaned and rubbed his head. When he looked up again to his horror Bebop was gone. And Donnie was gone with him. "Damn it!" Leo growled, punching the wall. "Why the Hell didn't I listen to Donnie? I should've stopped when he told me too. And now he's gone. Again. And its all my fault. I failed him. But I won't lose him. I'm gonna get him back myself." With these thought Leo went after Bebop, knowing where the Shredder's lair was, determined to save his little brother on his own.
