I don't own rottmnt characters

The prison dimension was cold, grey, and lifeless, devoid of any positive emotion. Leo stumbled as he limped through the small piece of land, around a few hundred square kilometers at most. His leg buckled under him. He sank to his knees, balancing on his good one, using his sword to support him, he brought himself up slowly. The gash on his carapace was bleeding through the gauze from the emergency kit he luckily had in his medical pouch. He slipped on a random puddle of oi. He yelped and fell. He smirked regardless of the pain.

"Yeesh, this dramatic mood is too much for me, why not lighten it up? You wanna hear a joke." He said, through the desolate atmosphere, making it much more audible.

Silence.

"Alright, Alright. Oil try not to cave in to grease urges"

Still Silence

He groaned, and stood up, albeit slowly, and with many attempts. He winced and looked around, he was just able to hide before the Kraang came, he completely forgot about his rule of not talking in the prison dimension. Luckily, the Kraang was either too deaf, too far away, or too careless. That's what you get for underestimating the greatest ninja alive: NEON LEON! He chuckled at the thought, he was/is so arrogant.

It had been a day and a half since he sacrificed himself for the safety of his family, at least, he was pretty sure that much time had passed in the prison dimension. He couldn't help but tear up at the thought that he wouldn't see them ever again as long as he was alive, which he was forced to stay, due to the prison dimension not allowing you to die and all.

Splinter,

April,

Casey,

Cass,

Mikey,

Raph,

Donnie,

What was he thinking, he couldn't live without them, all he had was an extremely slim chance of arriving back. Mikey might be able to bring him back using his mystic powers, but Leo would never want his Miguel to hurt himself like that to bring old Leon back, he was selfish, pathetic, useles-

NO LEO, DON'T THINK LIKE THAT

He shook himself just to make sure and was about to walk down the steep hill when a familiar shrill screech echoed through the space. Leo froze and slowly turned.

The Kraang.

Euugghh boy

He looked around, trying to find anything he could use for shelter, and found a bunch of random old tires.

Welp, that was convenient.

He ducked into it, leaving his little pride that he might have had behind. He stifled his gasps, winces, and painfully loud breathing when he heard footsteps. Once he was 150% sure they were gone, he sighed.

He knew one of these 'days', he would be caught, he just hoped the rest of his team were able to save him before that ever happened.

He muffled a sob with his arms, a rush of warm memories leaving him feeling content

Hope, a ninja's greatest weapon

He had to trust that his brothers would save him without hurting themselves, he didn't care how long it would take, as long as they were safe. He just hopes they realize his wishes and don't rot themselves trying to bring him back.

He stayed snug, feeling the warmest he had since he entered this stupid place, his last thought before he slept was:

Guys, wherever you are, please don't risk yourselves for me.
