TMNT FANFIC: Words can kill

Battle

Raph lay in bed, thinking over all that he had said to leo. At first he'd thought he'd been a little harsh but the more he thought about it, the more he agreed with the words he'd spat, even regretting not adding anything else. 

The sudden sound of Donnie's voice startled him, sending him up on his feet. "Guys we've got the foot down by the abandoned warehouse. Cant be up to any good." He shouted, voice already echoing through the sewers as he left the lair. I followed, catching eye of Leo and Mikey. I turned away, unwilling to make any kind of contact with Leo. As we neared the manhole cover, Leo called out orders to stay in the shadows, though I noticed his voice seemed a little off but i didn't care enough to ask. Instead i purposely stayed on the road, watching my shadow which leaped with me through the moonlight, clambering up pipes to surface on rooftops. 

"Raph," Leo called, and i was temporarily surprised by how little authority he held in his voice. "We're supposed to be discrete." 

I just ignored him, rolling my eyes at this bossy little turtle i called my brother. We drew closer to the warehouse, regrouping at the side to go over the plan. 

"Ok so, Mikey you go in first to catch the foots attention and lure them outside. Raph and I will help fight them off so we can create a clean path for Donnie who will then check for whatever the foot were hear for. Do we all understand." Leo drew his katana, leading us closer to the building. Thats when the plan commenced. 

Mikey did his usual: grabbing he attention of the guards, leading them out into the open. I despised the way he was always the bait, only so that leo could claim victory as the arrogant, stuck up prick he is.

"Raph!" Leo's voice alerted me of the approaching enemy, about to leave the warehouse. But i didn't let them. I met them at the opening, plunging into battle. I could hear Leo's annoyed cries in the background, but i didn't care. I tore through the ninjas, digging my sais into there abdomens, shoving them out of my way. A grunt signified me of Leo's presence. 

"What are you doing!" He yelled, fighting off the foot next to me. "Your were supposed to stick to the plan!" 

"Well you know what, i'm sick and tired of your sh*tty plans, always putting yourself above us to get the glory. Your a real selfish prick you know, and maybe one day you'll think about everyone else's lives and feeling and realise what a stuck up, snobby pig you are. But until then, you can shove your f*cking plans up your ass." I snapped, fury bubbling up inside me. "Go make yourself useful and help Mikey."

To my surprise he actually obliged, his face unreadable, eyes clouded over. Once again I got the feeling of brief concern but pushed it aside. I continued my battle, every now and again looking over the crowd in search f Donnie or Mikey. It seemed Donnie had made it to the centre of the warehouse, while Mikey's was trying to find a space to pass through, Leo at his side. 

It was Mikey's shrill scream that made me freeze. That was all i needed to set me on a path towards them, striking down anyone or anything that got in my way. 

Mikey sat, clutching his shoulder with both hands, blood leaking from them. Leo stood over him, protected him or some sh*t like that, i don't really care. It was Mikey that mattered, not him. I shoved our 'leader' out the way, ignoring the pained noise he made, focusing only on Mikey. 

"DONNIE!" I yelled, pulling my baby brother onto my lap, nursing his cut shoulder.
