Feeling Blue

Chapter twelve

Narrator's POV

The brothers made their way in Stockman's lab.

Stockman took out a serum and was about to inject its liquid in leo, but before the needle even made contact with Leo's skin Stockman's hand (claw) was stabbed by the red turtle's sai.

"Ahhbzzz" Stockman yelled out.

"Wow! Now that's what I call a unique scream." Mikey shouted as Donnie put his hand on Mikey's mouth to prevent him from speaking. But the foot had already heard the young turtle's compliment.

Footbots attacked the turtles.

"Hehe... My bad." Mikey said chucking one of the footbots.

Donnie ran up to tigerclaw determined to save his brother.

"You think you are strong enough to defeat me?" Tigerclaw said with a grin.

Donnie ignored tigerclaw and attacked him with his bo-staff. Despite the fact that tigerclaw was stronger than donnatello, Donnie managed to knock out tigerclaw with his staff.

He quickly went to leo to make sure he was alright.

"Thanks D." Leo said in a weak but happy voice.

Donnie smiled, he wanted to hug his big brother but knew this was not the right time.

"Come on, we gotta go." Donnie said as he helped leo to his feet.

Mikey and raph were fighting the shredder. Well, not really fighting. Stalling the shredder. Yeah that sounds much better.

Mikey and raph were stalling the shredder.

Donnie signalled his brothers to escape. Mikey and raph saw the signal and nodded. Mikey threw a smoke bomb in shredder's eyes and raph seized the opportunity to punch shredder in the face. Shredder fell back giving the brothers time to escape the place.

The brothers escaped and breathed in relief.

But their satisfaction was short lived as they heard shredder shout

"AFTER THEM!"

Raph, mikey, Donnie and leo turned their heads to see footbots coming their way.

Each brother, exept for leo, drew their weapons and attacked the footbots.

Leo was left all by himself, defenceless and bruised.

Suddenly shredder jumped behind leo and grabbed his neck.

Leo knew his brothers were not going to get to him in time.

He head bumped shredder which made the evil man let go of the turtle's neck. Leo fell down not able to stand on his legs. He needed to fight shredder. That was his only hope for survival. He forced himself to stand up and punched shredder with all his force using a technique splinter taught him.

If leo had done this while he was recovered fully then he would have surely killed shredder, but as he was in a very bad state the punch only knocked shredder out for a few minutes.

Raph, Mikey and Donnie had meanwhile defeated the footbots and returned back to leo.

"Ok leo, lets g-" raph said but stopped when he saw shredder laying on the ground. "What... How did you..."

"Lets go before *pant* shredder wakes *pant* up." Leo said as his brothers nodded still shocked at seeing the scene.

They all escaped the woods and we're back in NY on a building.

"I think this is far enough." Mikey said with a smile.

"To do what?" Leo said but before he could even react he was caught in a tight hug.

"We missed you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much dude." Mikey cried out.

"Don't ever disappear like that again, man." Raph said trying not to sound like he was crying but clearly failing.

Donnie didn't even say anything. He just hugged leo tighter and let tears of joy fill his eyes.

Leo smiled. He hugged his brothers back and said "come on. Lets go home."

The others nodded and walked back home laughing and talking about how happy master splinter will be when they would step foot in the lair and what they will do when they reach the lair.

"I am wanted after all." Leo thought happily as he walked home with his family.
