THE HAMATO BROTHERS (PART 2)

"Raphael and Leonardo have been here before. I bet you didn't know that did ya'?"

I sit on a big crate, eating some chocolate pizza and drinking Diet Coca Cola that Corin congered up. Nobody pointed out that Corin was an actual wizard. Before I sip my drink, I look around his…home. I don't see much due to the lack of light. But I do see weapons tucked in corners and things laid across table. I say, "No, I didn't. How and when did they come here?"

"I'm getting there," Corin says. I figure since Corin might as well tell me everything, I better just shut up. It might due me good with this guy.

"Now, You're two brothers came here by the power of their wishes. They wished and pleaded that they could be together throughout forever, even in their sleep. And that's' how they wound up here. They must have been about five at the time.

"Those little boys were the strangest pair of brothers I've ever met. I met them in Abandon, surprisingly. Leonardo caught the attention of all those angels with that little voice of his. And Raphael," Corin laughs at whatever he's thinking of ," Well, you'll just have to see."

Corin waves his hand and a glass orb appears before us. It glows rainbow colors till two shades of green appear. Those two shades turn into Leo and Raph. Leo is singing, his voice echoing through the room. Raph is next to him, trying to match Leo's voice and his speed.

I listen to the words and gasp when I realize what he is singing. His lullaby that he sang every night. The lullaby we always thought he put our names into. The lullaby he hasn't sang in years.

I listen to his voice and mouth along as he goes. I never thought I would miss this solng or hear it again.

Wendy never flew back to that old star

And Neverland never could be the same

I dream and think of brotherly dreams

But never seemed to reach that star

If all of the hopes kept by smart John

And all of Michael's wishes were true

I'd take them all back to Neverland

And trade them all for the Lost Boys

Neverland is so far away

Somehow Pan went away

I think I could find him if I really tried

But maybe I'm just not enough

When I've open my eyes, everything is blurry. I quickly wipe the tears away and watch my two brothers as a younger Corin and Be'Joke come to the kids. I blink in surprise. Be'Joke has wings on his back. They are white with pink and red spots. I wonder what those spots mean…

"Raphael never like being separated from Leonardo." Corin voice echoes as he penetrates my thoughts," It must have been something from his past. It was like he had this idea that Leonardo would be snatched away from him at any time. And that idea saved Leonardo's life later on."

The scene changes as a tall man in black robe, sitting on a thorny throne, appears. Leo and Raph stand in front of him with Corin and Be'Joke behind them.

"Be'Joke and I took your brothers to the Nightmare King. We claimed they got through the barrier. They were the first after thousands of years. The king did not like this idea. He wanted them dad, but when we wanted to protect the children, he punished us."

I stare as a fiery whip appears in the dark man's hand and lashes towards Raph. Be'Joke stands in front of Raph, taking the hit. The king flies down the stairs with a double-bladed axe and cuts Be'Joke wings clean off his b ack. I get a glimpse of a teenage Aro, laughing at Be'Joke's broken screaming form. Corin's skin is burned as the whip strangles him.

"That's when your brothers stepped in. Leonardo threw all of his knowledge of fighting into the King. That monster took those hits, surprised a t Leonardo bravery. But as Leonardo tried to deliver a punch, The King grabbed him, determined to end that boy's life."

My eyes widen as The Nightmare King holds Leo down, ready to bring his axe down on Leo's little neck. Leo is kicking with all his might but it's futile. That's when Raph screams and delivers a wicked kick to the man's throat. The Nightmare King falls back and drops his whip. Leo hops up and steals the whip, running as fast as he can. The Nightmare King and Raph chase him clear to the throne where Leo turns to fight. But the whip hits the throne head on and the throne explodes into fire. Leo receives a burn on his arm bit it doesn't seem to bother him. It bothers Raph because he instantly runs to Leo to make sure he's okay. Then I see the Nightmare King on the ground howling with pain.

"Leonardo hurt the King, Donatello. Leonardo and Raphael damaged the king. If two kids can defeat the Nightmare King, then they are part of something bigger than our world. Part of a rebellion that was foretold centuries ago. One the Nightmare King didn't want to be fulfilled."

Great. A rebellion with a nut job villain. Perfect.

"Word got out fast that your two brothers took down on of the Nightmare kings thrones. And yes there is more than one. There are three. Anyway, as the word got out, Be'Joke, Leonardo, Raphael and I make our way to the Infinity Ocean, where their anchor lies."

Infinity Ocean! That might be where our anchor is! Yes! I found it!

"Everywhere we went, people would ask who those boys were. And every time, they would say Hamato Leonardo and Raphael. The brothers who hurt the Nightmare King. The Hamato name became a name of hope, of fear and of hate.

"Once we got your brothers out of our world, we made our selves conspicuous. I went into hiding and Be'Joke acted his loyalty to the Nightmare king as pure. We have waited many years for Leonardo and Raphael's return I knew they would come back with you and the baby brother. That's why I told Be'Joke to send you, the smartie, to me. I know you would be the one to understand what is happening in our world."

It is silent as I take this all in. Not a sound in the world. Finally I say," So, Leo and Raph are supposed to be…saviors of this world?"

"I wouldn't call them saviors. " Corin says," But mere generals of a beautiful rebellion that Be'Joke and I started years and years ago."

A rebellion. Leo and Raph started a rebellion without knowing it. Corin smiles happily," Now that you and your brothers are back, the rebellion will begin. And with them we will win."

I nod," I Guess you would have a big army with all those Suides. They all love Leo since he is one of them-"

Suddenly the glass orb fall form the air and shatters on the floor. Then Corin yells," WHAT?"

"Uh…"

"You are telling me that Hamato Leonardo is-a-SUIDE!"

"Um…yes." I say.

Corin flies to his feet, running into the dark, yelling, "God, tell me this isn't happening. God, tell me this isn't happening. God, tell me this. Isn't. HAPPENING!"

"WHAT!? WHAT!?" I yell without an answer to complete me.

Shuffling and the sounds of things hitting the floor fill the room. Finally, Corin reappears, a black rectangelsih box in hand. He throws it onto the crate beside me and opens it. He takes out a dagger that looks a lot like the one that belongs to MR. Gold on Once Upon a Time. ON the one side, the metal is black and in white writing is Raph's name.

"This dagger was made by a friend of the Nightmare Kings' so he could keep track of them. After I got your brothers out, I went back and stale the dagger. I haven't looked at it in years," Corin breathes heavily as he turns the dagger over, as if he's afraid to see the other side.

And as the new side is revealed, the color is not pure. The blade is white with black cracks running across it, a piece of it is missing showing the lack of Raphael's' side of the blade. In the middle of all those spider-webbed cracks is Leonardo's name, as broken as the rest of his side of the blade.

"Oh, Leonardo," Corin whispers," What has happened to you?"

I swallow hard. I silently answer Corin's question in my head: We happened.

Corin turns to me, his face pale. "Donatello, if Leonardo is a Suide, then you have to keep him as far away from the Nightmare King as you can. If he figures out that Leonardo is a Suide, he will hater that boy and kill him. You must keep those two safe and make sure Leonardo does not shatter. Take it," Corin hands me the dagger then, turns away," It will help you guide your brothers and you to the anchor. Get home, fix Leonardo, and we may meet again."

"One more question, sir," I swiftly say," How would we defeat the Nightmare King?"

Corin open his mouth as loud rings of a bell calls out. Corin looks behind him, then back at me.

"What was that?" I ask, breaking my promise of one question.

Corin's eyes fade but glimmer as he answers my question slowly, "Well, my compatriot, its official. The Nightmare King knows you are here."

Nobody's P.O.V.

Aro's feet slapped the ground as he sprinted into the throne room. On the other side of the room, out of a black pool came Alec, Turning green form his run-in with the Hamato's. In the middle of the newly made titanium throne room sits the Nightmare King on his titanium throne. AL if this room was made to withstand fire and an attack form the Hamato's.

"My lord," Aro kneels before his King, his head bowed," you will not believe what I have witnessed."

"My lord, I have witnessed something unbelievable," Alec echoes, " The Hamatos…their…their back-"

"The HAMATO'S!" The kings voice shock the room, causing Aro the bow deeper and Alec to fall form his hovering perch, feet from the king.

"Yes, sire," Aro jumps in, "But… they have allies. A young man and women-"

"And a strong tin can man." Alec says.

"This is your unbelief," The King snarls, reaching for his whip, anger flowing through his veins.

Aro flinches but swiftly says, "No, my King, but Hamato Leonardo, he's a-"

"He's a Suide, My King," Alec finishes, earning a scowl form Aro.

The room is silent till low rumbling laugh beings to fill the room. It gets louder and louder as the Nightmare King stands and walks to the center of the room. Then he howls," THIS. IS. PERFECT!"

"My lord," Aro questions, confusion marking his face, his thoughts on the ever growing Suide population.

"Leonardo is a Suide," The King says, enjoying the taste of these words on his lips, the sounds of their music in his ears, the happiness of the thought in his mind, "Which means Raphael and he is no longer close. Leonardo is ready to die."

Aro and Alec share a look, and a thought of insanity of the King passes through their minds. They jump once the King begins to speak once more. "Leonardo will shatter, but not by my doing. Aro," The red head snaps to attention, ready for any order," Aro, my son, send out the witch and her shapeshifter."
