Leonardo is sick of the insults and hatred towards him. He meets up with Karai (after the Healing Hands episode) and they run away, together.
Two years later they both return and are shocked at what the city has become. They gather friends and famil...

The tunnel grew colder--Chris and I were close to the surface now. Soon we'd climb up into the howling wind, to find our way to our friends, whatever nightmares were waiting there. My long journey was nearly at the beginning. But would I have the courage...the will to see it through?
As Raphael and his team ran towards Salt Lake City, he remembered what he had felt when he had first visited the surface of New York.
So this is New York. Welcome home, Raphael. Donatello scoffed. He had saw strange beauty in the half-burned city and the nuclear frost.
But, as they approached Salt Lake, or what's left of it, the turtle felt a strange sense of familiarity.
"So, do you think Leo might've got here, with Chris?" Donnie asked curiously, but not caring.
"He's probably dead, with his stupid friend." Raph growled.
"They've been gone for twenty years. Of course they're dead." Karai said, actually quite sadly. Mikey gave her a sad look too; even though his big brother left him, he still loved him and missed him.
"Enough. We must keep moving." Their father said as they ran into the suburbs. It was a pitiful sight, seeing most of the buildings blown to smithereens, or buried in the snow.
"Anyone, hhh, got any, hhh, air filters, hhh,!?" Gasped April, panicking about getting not enough air.
Casey hurriedly reached into his stash and pulled out an air filter, running over to April. He quickly unscrewed hers and screwed in a new one, and she immediately gasped for precious oxygen.
"Thanks!" She panted and they both hurried to catch up with the rest of the group. Once they caught up, April decided to ask a risky question. "Do you guys-" She was cut off by distant shooting coming from the close city. They were at the wall that gives the entrance to Salt Lake, like New York.
"Should we help them?" Mikey asked quietly, and naïvely per usual. "They could die..."
"No." Donnie said. "We need to keep moving, we can't afford to stop and help."
"But-"
"No, Donatello is right. We barely have enough air filters for ourselves." Splinter stated and Mikey nodded defeatedly, blocking out the sounds of screams and Lurker howls.
As the group made their way through the wall, by leaping over the gates, they gasped at Salt Lake's condition. It was worse than New York; all buildings were half their size, but there were still doors and windows, etcetera.
"It's worse on the surface, but better in the stations." April sighed and walked ahead of the silent others; Casey hurried to follow suit.
"Woah, wait for us!" Mikey called and ran with Donnie to catch up.
Raph and Splinter stayed walking and Raph looked to the ground, feeling a strange sadness that his older brother was not here; but quickly dismissed it, he didn't want to remember him. True, it was very unfair that he would try and forget such a man, but he didn't want to live with the pain.
"Raphael, Leonardo is still your brother, by blood and by birth, there is nothing you can do to change that." Splinter looked at his, almost the same height, son. "You still love him, deep in the bottom of your heart. You still feel sorrow and love."
Splinter was right, but with Raph and his pride, he wouldn't admit it. "You don't know what you're talking about." Raph quickly said and ran off to catch up to the others, who were way ahead. Splinter sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose and hurried to not fall behind.
Meanwhile, Leo and Chris were approaching a large, old shopping mall. It still had a roof even! Well, it had a large gap where it fell down, but it was still a roof!
"We could find some air filters in there." Leo said and gestured to the mall. "Then we can stay out a little longer than necessary, well, before we find the guys."
"They said they'd meet us in a mall, his might be it! If we're lucky..." Chris grumbled the last part, he knew their luck was the worst.
"I don't believe in luck, or miracles."
"Hey, where're the mutants? We definitely should have killed some Lurkers or Demons by now."
"Dunno. They might've been attracted to something, or should I say, someone, else. Let's be on our guard, we don't want Nazi's or the Last Light sneaking up on us." Leo warned and try both loaded their guns, turning off the safety clip. Leo had an AK47 and Chris had a pump-action shotgun.
When the friends reached the entrance, Chris groaned at seeing the door blocked from the inside by rubble from the roof. Leo smirked and walked over to a window, that was surprisingly intact, weak, yes, cracked, yes, but intact; kind of like the nearly extinct human race.
Leo used his AK barrel to hit the glass, smashing and crumbling it, rather loudly; very loudly. Chris winced at the noise and looked around for any monsters, but surprisingly there were none. He shrugged and jumped inside, after Leo.
There was only one word o describe the place, and any others: a dump. Honestly, it looked like something from a horror movie.

"Oh look!" Chris pointed at a rotting corpse laid against a half-wall. He had a gas mask on, weapons and ammo. "Looks like a Nazi." He was right, there was an old-fashioned red armband on his arm.
"Heh. It's said that Nazis fought in another war, ages ago, they lost." Leo said, with a smirk. "Looks like he's gonna win a war, doesn't he? All crippled and bite marks all over him..."
They were interrupted by a short growl and the noise of rubble and ammo being scattered as something ran over them. Leo and Chris whirled around, arms pointed, and then turned again, back-to-back.
"What is it?" Chris hissed and tightened his grip on his gun.
