God, it's embarrassing for them to see me like this. I look awful. I look like... I don't even know the words. I look awful. A sickness is burning me from the inside. My body feel like a rotting apple, rotting from the inside. I feel like my inners are rotting. I need a drink. I take a bottle.

"Oh no, stop it Leo." Ralph grabs it.

I just look at him.

"You need to come back with us. Donnie says the invasion is almost upon us." Ralph says.

"Of course, I'm sure! My tech and algorithms are never wrong!" Donnie yells.

I roll my eyes. I light another cigarette.

"And why are you telling me this? What makes you think I can do anything?" I ask.

"You're master Leonardo! You fought the mighty Techodrone!" Casey yells.

"So?" I shrug.

"So??? We need you!" Mikey yells.

"You don't. You don't want me. I'm drunk." I burp.

"Leonardo, please." Dad says.

I let out a small chuckle.

"There's nothing I can do." I grab a bottle off the shelf.

"Leo! You're talking crazy!" Ralph grabs me.

I look down.

"I can't do anything to stop this." I say.

"Why? Why not?!" Ralph shakes me.

"I can't." I say.

I push off of him. I stumble and slam into the floor. Ow.

"Oh, jeez Nardo. Are you okay?" Ralph helps me up.

"I'm fine." I hiss. 

"Seriously, what's wrong with you?!" Ralph screams in my ear.

"Too much alcohol." I shrug.

"Why can't you fight?" Casey asks.

"I just can't. You'll have to trust me." I say.

They hate you.

I look down.

You'll always be worthless.

I know.

I take another chug of alcohol.  Casey gras it. I look at him.

"What happed to you? Since when are you such a coward?" He asks.

"Since I found out I am Krang King!" I yell.
