Close Brotherly Relationship

A Hero To Be Remembered

Leonardo Hamato was a brave, protective, fearless and strong leader. Although, on the night of September 13th, his death was inevitable. His funeral was held on their Mutation Day. The ceremony was peaceful, every friend and family member came and pay their respects. A lot of pictures of Leonardo and his family and friends were granted in the ceremony. Everyone is filled with sorrow and sobs, but no one ever cried that much as Mikey. He regretted all that happened. He never hung out with his oldest brother, not even a single time. Leo sacrificed himself for him many times and yet, he didn't even stay or be with him. After the funeral, everyone was filled with sorrow in their hearts. Leonardo didn't deserve to die in such a young age. The four brothers just turned 16 on the day of the funeral which was Mutation Day, they just wished they could have celebrated it with Leo, they wish that they could have Leo celebrate and turn 16, like them. After a year of sorrow, all brothers were gathered around at the dojo with their father.

"What are we doing here Sensei?"
"We are going to talk to Leonardo, it's been a year. Don't you miss him?"
"OF COURSE!!!"
"Then let me begin."

Master Splinter made multiple handsigns then a puff of smoke covered the room. When they opened their eyes, they couldn't believe what their seeing. A figure was standing before them with a smile on his face. Their one and only oldest brother, Leonardo Hamato.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you guys."
"We missed you Leo!"
"I'm only here for a little moment, then I'll be back in the afterlife."
"Can we at least hug you?"
"Sure, I'm ready anytime."

The four brothers all hugged tightly, feeling each other's warmth, especially Leo's.

"Leo! I'm sorry!"
"What for little brother?"
"For not having any time with you! I should have been there with you too! If... If only, I've been a greater youngest brother to you!"
"Mikey, you have nothing to be sorry for, but thank you so much for at least being there for me, all those times you threw multiple water balloons at me were an amazing experience. Thank you so much for being the best youngest brother."
"Your welcome."
"My time's up, please stay the same even without me, promise me that okay?"
"Okay, we promise."
"Thank you, for being the best family, the best friends and the best brothers ever. Sensei, thank you for everything."
"Your welcome."
"Oh and almost forgot, take care of them Father."
"I will my son."
"To all I say this for the last time, I LOVE YOU."

Leo disappeared in a puff of blue smoke, his soul returned to the afterlife. After a few years, the three remaining brothers, did their promise and moved on but still carried Leo's leadership with them, to live through their life and die with honor just like he did until the end. Leonardo Hamato will always be with them even until their last breath.
