Symbiosis

|Chapter 24|

POV Mikey:

"Hurry everyone, its time to go!", Raph ushered everyone towards Kriby's van, Casey looked over the driver seat, waiting for everyone to enter, but I couldn't, "No! We are not leaving!-",

"Michaelangelo, I swear-"

"No! Donnie! April! Both of you said that after we got the group together, we'll go look for Leo!-"

"What is he talking about? Mikey Leo's right here, now come on before the shredder's goons and the Kraang get here-"

"Mikey, come on Raph's right, we have to lea-"

"NO!-", my body trembled as I glared at everyone, Jay stayed beside me, his face pressed against my side as I held Krisa close, "I told both of you!...Donnie...", my voice was caught in my throat as I glared at my immediate older brother, 'I couldn't leave Leo, he was the reason I escaped, he's the reason I am free...', snot dripped down my nose as my glare fade into a look of pathetic sorrow, pleading to my brother to listen to me, "...you pro-...mise...", my body just trembled as I looked down towards the ground. "You...!̶̢̤͉̲͇̋͊͋̈̏!̵̢̛̱͙̜̣͔͎̅̓͆!̷̫̠̖̬͓͖̈́̀̚D̸̡͈͈̺̰̭̏͗E̵̦̅̄̑S̶̪̮̃Î̵̗̽̾̇͝M̵̨̰̬͕͑̊O̴̳̼͔̱̅̈̃̔̓͂͒Ṙ̶̡̠͕̣͚̠͜P̷̢͇͙̣̀-"

(PROMISED!!!)

I rubbed my arm over my eyes and snout, cleaning my face, "Michaelangelo...", Raph's brow bone was turned upwards as he reached for my arm, but I stepped back, shaking my head, "No...no. No...they promised...Donnie and April, they...", Raph after some time was able to reach for my shoulder, "You want to protect the kids right?", I froze, turning back towards the kids, each one looked beyond exhausted, nodding my head, I turned my head away from them, "Plus think about it-", Donnie spoke up as he held onto his hurt arm, breathing through his teeth, Donnie leaned his head back against the inside of the van wall, "-the kid seems pretty strong and tough, plus didn't you leave a T-Phone in the lair just in case he gets back?", my eyes widened when he said that, pushing Raph off my shoulder, I stared at him "You saw that?"

"Yeah, so when he sees it, he'll call one of us, plus can't he just portal to us or something?...Now come on, if we wait any longer the Kraang might follow us", Raph slowly walked behind me with his hand pressed against my shell, "No...", I shook my head as I stepped away from the van, "No...no I have to save him- Leo could be in danger...He doesn't know this dimension like we do- He doesn't know the shredder like we do...", I turned away from the van, staring at all the destruction that destroy the city I grew up in. My hand held Krisa close to my chest, and the other held Jay's head as he pressed his face against my side, trembling as he listened to the conversation. Kneeling down towards the ground, I looked at Jay and pressed my hand against his cheek, "Look buddy, I need you to protect your sister-"

"But I want to come!", I shook my head as looked him in the eye, but it was strange, something else had his attention, but what. "No buddy, it's not safe, but I'll make sure to save your D-", my body fell limp as something was pressed against my neck, I wanted to fight back as Krisa was pulled out of my arms, darkness filled my vision and my body fell to the ground, "Uncle Mikey?! Let go!-".

POV 3rd Person(Mikey):

~Three Hours Later~

His body was shoved into the corner of the van, 'Wha...', staring up at the ceiling of the van, Mikey's neck was bent at a harsh angle as he listened to the sounds that surrounded the van, the wheels driving over the once smooth pavement now has become gravel, pieces of rock hitting the underbelly of the van, he even listened to the sounds inside, Krisa's breathing as she wrapped her body around his head with her head resting on his shoulder, searching for any warmth she could find, 'What happened...'. Everyone in the car made their own sound, Donnie's teeth whistled as he slept against Raph, Casey rhythmically tapped the wheel, Raph's limbs twitched every few moments, hitting any surface around him as he slept as well, and April tapped at her phone, looking through god knows what, but there was one mutant he didn't hear anything from. Lifting his hand, Mikey pulled Krisa closer around his neck, and wore her like a scarf, holding his hand in his palm as his elbow leaned on his knee, Mikey looked around the van, "Where's-...", Raph looked up towards him, he stared at Raph as Jay sat up, pushing himself closer to him, "Where's Leo?", Raph turned his head away, 'we didn't save him...', his throat burned as Mikey glared at his second eldest brother, "Where's Leo, Raphael-"
