Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Forever Family (Original Trilogy Part 3)

A Family United

(The Nightwatcher raced across the rooftops intent to get away from the fire before the cops showed up but a familiar voice stopped him in his tracks)

"What is your hurry...turtle?"

(The Nightwatcher turned and saw him, The Shredder stood on the roof above him, his metal armor gleaming in the moon light)

Shredder: "You actually thought your disguise would fool anyone? You look like a big metal turtle you fool. It is amusing you think you can protect your family better working alone. You managed to save Miss O'Neil this time I'll give you that but who I wonder will come to save you?"

(Shredder made a gesture with his hand that signalled about 30 to 40 Foot Ninjas to step out of the shadows)

Shredder: "Well shall we begin?"

(The Foot ninjas attacked and the Nightwatcher kicked, punched and swung his chains all over the place, knocking out as many as he could take on, but after a few minutes the number of foot ninja began to overpower him, they surrounded him from all sides gang beating him until they had his arms held behind his back with other foot ninja holding swords to his neck, Shredder leapt down and approached the restrained Nightwatcher)

Shredder: "I don't think you'll be needing this any longer." (Shredder smacked Nightwatcher, causing his mask to fly off of his head, Shredder was surprised for a moment than began to laugh, Michelangelo raised his head up and glared at Shredder)

Shredder: "You?! The stupid one?!" (Shredder continued laughing) "I must say I am impressed. I'd have thought you were Raphael or Leonardo. This lone vigilante act doesn't suit you Michelangelo. You should have stayed with your brothers. You were safer there."

Mikey: "Did you burn down April's place?"

Shredder: "Hmm. Not so stupid after all."

Mikey: "Why?"

Shredder: "Merely a first attempt at luring you turtles out of your hiding place. And now that I have you it will not be long before the rest of you lie dead at my feet." (Shredder raised his claws to finish him)

"Let him go!"

(Shredder and the foot turned as Mikey looked up to a sight that brought a huge smile to his face, Leonardo had returned)

Mikey: "Your gonna get it now Shred Head! Time to kick some shell!" (Leo leapt down with his swords in hand and knocked down the ninjas restraining Mike which freed him as he ripped off his Nightwatcher suit and grabbed his nunchucks quickly taking the opportunity to smack Shredder in the face with his weapon)

Shredder: "DURRGHH! You filthy..!"

(Leo kicked Shredder hard in the back cutting him off)

(Together Leo and Mikey took down the Foot Ninjas, while keeping Shredder at bay until it was just the three of them)

Mikey: "Good to have you back dude."

Leo: "Missed you too little brother. Now let's avenge our master and go home. I'm starving."

Shredder: "You Leonardo, you I will take my time with. My beloved Karai will get justice!"

Raph: "Justice? The only justice she ever got was gettin her head cut off by my big brother."

Leo: "Raph!"

(Raph joined his brothers standing side by side with them, Donnie joined too)

Don: "Leo! You're back!"

(Leo grinned)

Mikey: "Don! How's April?"

Don: "Devastated about losing the apartment but she's okay.. thanks to some crazy guy in a mask."

Mikey: "Uh yeah about that guy.."

Raph: "No time for no lip smackin! It's time tah get Shredder crackin!"

Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo in unison: "TURTLE POWER!!!"

(The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Shredder charged at each other and fought to a standstill, Shredder was tough but the turtles had a renewed motivation, their family was whole once again as was their team, with all four of them giving everything they had, Shredder was no match for them)

(Mikey wrapped his nunchucks around Shredder's hands, Raph used his sais to Rip open his armored chest, Don delivered a devastating uppercut with his Bo staff sending Shredder's helmet flying off revealing his true face, the battle scarred face of Oroku Saki)

(Leo leapt into the air as Shredder knocked the other three turtles off of him and leapt into the air as well, Leo and Shredder clashed and landed on opposite ends of the rooftop, then The Shredder's head tumbled off of his body and stopped at Leo's feet)

Leo: "Cowabunga."

Mikey: "What the shell dude? I always say that!"

(The turtles all laughed and hugged each other)

(Next day the turtles had all moved back into the new lair along with April, it was the middle of the night and Leo was still up, he was in deep thought about everything that had happened and he was finally peaceful..well almost, one thing remained)

(Almost as if he had read his mind Raph walked out of his room and was startled to see Leo)

Raph: "Oh. Hey.. hey bro I didn't know you were out here."

Leo: "It's okay Raph. I just have a lot on my mind that's all."

Raph: "Well you spent a year thinking by ya self playin Tarzan in the jungle. Wouldn't you rather have a chat with someone? Like your brother for instance?"

(Leo chuckled) "Yeah of course." (He breathed a sigh and was about to say something when Raph cut him off)

Raph: "No look Leo. I'm the one who needs to say something so listen up. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Like if I could possibly be more sorry I couldn't do it cause I'm as sorry as sorry gets for my sorry ass. You didn't deserve me giving ya a hard time about..everything that went down last year. You couldn't have known about Karai and that Master Splinter would get killed and..I took out all my anger on you bro..and I can't help but feel responsible for you leaving. The truth is that ever since you left I regretted every word I said to you that day. I was an asshole plain and simple and I couldn't bear the thought of that being the last time we saw each other."

Leo: "Well good thing it wasn't then."

(Raph grinned and nodded)

Raph: "Yeah. Good thing it wasn't then."

(Leo and Raph gave each other a good old fashioned bro hug, a hug that had needed to happen for a year, and then that was it, Raph gave Leo a pat on the shoulder and went back to bed and Leo had never felt happier)

(But then Mikey snuck out of his room carrying his Nightwatcher gear and froze when he saw Leo)

Leo: "Go on ahead. I'm not gonna stop you."

(Mikey smiled) "Actually.." (He dropped the suit and helmet into the garbage) "I don't think I'll need it anymore. Welcome home Leo."

Leo: "It's good to be home Mikey."
