TMNT The Fallen

Chapter Thirteen Change

I brought Leo back to the lair. Even though my instincts told me not to. He was hideously disfigured. He was a mixture of what he use to look like and how karai changed him. His skin was green again. But his eyes were black again with a blue tint. His fingers and toes were sort of back to normal. They were how they were before but just sharper. And his teeth. Were still razor sharp. And his shell. Was still formed into his exoskeleton. However. He was still my brother. And I would do anything to cure him.

When I walked into the lair, April shrieked. I said, "April, calm down. It's just one of my brothers." Then I whispered, " he isn't himself right now. Karai changed him and I splashed kerozine on him." She understood. And then. The most bizarre thing happened when April walked out the room. Leo hugged me and started to cry. It shocked me. Leo wasn't exactly the most friendly type of guy. Or turtle. I hugged him back. I said, "Leo. Everything is going to be okay." I sat him down on the couch. He started to cry even harder. Clawing his razor like fingers into his skull. He said, "I know I was a mutant but now. I'm a freak." He stood up and yelled in my face. "Look at what I have become!" Then he fell to the floor on his knees. He couldn't stop crying. And I started to cry myself. I put my hand on his shoulder and said, "Leo. I will find a cure. I will fix you. And you will always be my brother." He looked at me with tears rolling down his cheeks trying to crack a smile. But all of these emotions. All at once. It was affecting my nervous system. Wait. I didn't take a vile in the last twenty four hours. How was I still myself? How was the world not destroyed? I had to find out. But what about Leo? What would I do with him?

I left Leo alone to deal with his new self being. To get use to it for the moment. I would find a cure. But I also had to find new weapons. My staff was destroyed and I couldn't remain weapon less. But what would I make? I pondered upon this for a while. But then I realized. It was so obvious. But what was even worse. I realized that the more time went on. The more I became infected. And it wasn't the virus. Was I becoming insane? My brain manipulated me to see things that weren't there. To do things I wasn't supposed to do. I laughed in insanity as I created my new weapons. Leo peaked through the door to check on me. And his face looked like he had seen a ghost.

I had made a single katana blade and a kurisigama chain. And pouches that I could put them in. But had to test out my weapons. So I started to slash the air around me with my katana blade. And I started to scream. I yelled, " I will avenge my brothers. And my sensei!" I fell to the ground crying hysterically. My kurisigama chain caught me in the leg. I screamed in agony. Leo ran to me. He said, "Donnie!" My eyes turned red. I grabbed his arm. I said, "don't touch me, you hideous freak! It's the silver spirit now! You did this! You are not my brother! You are a monster!" My eyes turned back to normal. He let go. And ran away. I yelled for him. "Leo!" Dammit. What was wrong with me! Something was possessing me to do horrible things. I had a brother and girlfriend to take care of. I had a father to avenge. Two other brothers to turn normal again. And a human without any humanity to kill. But something wasn't right with me. So before I left my lab. I wrote Leo and April a note. Grabbed my new weapons. And left. Hoping one day they could forgive me.
