Alternative Storyline to "A Brother's Guilt"
What if Splinter doesn't jump in front on Super Shredder and saves Mikey? What if he's too late and Mikey...dies? How would it affect the storyline? How would a grieving father cope with the loss of his y...
It has been a month since my youngest son Michealangelo was killed by the Super Shredder. It was my fault....I failed him. I could not save my precious sunshine. I failed...
Flashback:
My sons and I were battling the Super Shredder and I saw my son Michealangelo was about to be attacked. Super Shredder raised his claws at my son...
"Michealangelo!" I screamed, running towards him, preparing to take the hit for him, even if I was killed in the process.
I...I did not get there in time. That monster stabbed Michealangelo in the plastron, cutting in deep into his chest.
My precious Mikey looked at me one last time and whispered...
"Papa."
Blood leaked from his wound and pooled on the ground. I let out a cry of anguish as my youngest son, my baby...my sunshine died in my arms.
My sons stopped fighting immediately and ran over. Donatello tried to revive him with no avail. Then, he broke down.
"No...No!" Rapheal screamed, using all his strength to throw Super Shredder off the building, killing him instantly.
Leonardo cradled Michealangelo's head in his hands, sobbing. Rapheal broke down and started slamming his fists on the concrete, crying out in anger.
Donatello cried hysterically, hugging Mikey's cold, lifeless body to his own. I kneeled helplessly, still holding my son's dead body....too helpless to even comfort my own sons.
After a long moment of grieving, we carried Michealangelo home to the farmhouse and had a solunm funeral.
April, Casey and Michealangelo's pet, Ice Cream Kitty all attended, crying and not wanting to believe it was real.
The gravestone was reached my son's waists in hight and was covered in fresh flowers...and a neon orange teddy bear on the gravestone.
Michealangelo (Mikey) Hamato Beloved son, brother and ninja Gone from this earth too soon Forever our beloved sunshine 1996-2012
Tears pooled in my eyes as I read what was engraved. I placed my arms around my distraught sons and pulled them close. We grieved together.
April and Casey left first, then for a very long time my sons and I stayed, motionless and silent, staring at the gravesite.
Present time...
Why could I not save my child? Why did he have to die? He was not ready. It was not his time. He was young.
Oh my youngest son, how I have failed you. I could not save you and for that I am broken. All the light in gone from my life...and my sons.
They are still grieving and I do not think they will ever be the same. Why could I have not died instead? Why did the spirits not take me?
It was my time, not Mikey's....
Of only I had been faster. If only I had plunged my weapon into that villian's chest. Then maybe my son would still be alive...
I am sorry, my child...I love you
Please forgive me for not saving you...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A/N: Hey readers! So....if you have not yet read "A Brother's Guilt" I would recommend reading that first, but you don't have to! This is basically an alternative version of the book, only Splinter doesn't save Mikey in time...
