TMNT The Lost Ones

Chapter Twelve Stolen

I followed raph. I ran and ran. I tried to keep up with him. I guess his new body also gave him more strength. More power. More agility. My legs hurt from running so hard. "Raph!" I yelled. "Wait up!" He just gave me a hand signal. A signal towards the castle. Oh no. Dusk. The panthers. And aki. I pushed all of my thoughts aside for the moment. We ran up the stairs. And when we got up there. Raph immediately started apologizing. "I'm so sorry! I don't know what happened! The last thing I remember was holding dusk and then-" I fell to my knees. He said "when I woke up. She was gone." I hung my head in despair. Depression. The anger was taking over me. It slowly consumed me until there was nothing left but rage and resentment inside of me. He started to walk towards me. He started to say. "I'm sorry--" I stood up. I flipped him over. He said. "Don! Don! What are you doing?!" I pulled out katana. I yelled. "Don't you ever call me that! I am! The silver spirit! Dusk was the only friend I ever had. And you let her. Get taken away!" He started to cry. I twisted his arm in such away that pain must be coursing through his body by now. "But d-- I mean. Silver spirit. I'm your brother!" I stabbed him in the back of the leg. He screamed in pain. "Ahhhhhhh!" I smiled. This is what he deserved. He let her escape. She was stolen. I had to get her back. I pulled out my katana and let go of his arm. He screamed with pain once more. "Ahhhhhhh! Spirit--" I saw his arm crash on the ground. As he finally grew unconscious. But before I left the castle I said. "I'm sorry raph. But it has to be this way."

I ran down the stairs. Hoping to find someone. Anyone. Not a moment too soon. I heard voices. I put my katana back in my pocket and ran to the side of the building. I heard a voice say. "Wow. Where do you think he went. I'm sorry he did that to you." That voice sounded familiar, then I saw the dark skin. The deformity. The ripped blue mask. It was Leo. He was with aki. She was still pretty torn up from what I did to her. The cuts I made to her. They turned into scars. Her hair. Still straggled everywhere. But she continued talking to Leo. "Yeah. Me too Leo. I'm just so glad I finally found you." Then they hugged. For a long time. But I could see Leo's face. He had an evil smile. What was going on! What did she mean 'I'm glad I finally found you?' What about April? What did Leo to her? And aki. How did Leo find her. And more importantly. How did he not find me. I took a step to get closer. To hear the conversation better. He then said. "I smell a rat." He pushed her back behind her. I slowly took out my katana. Just in case. But when I looked. He was gone. Aki just stood there. Then I heard. "Aaaaaahhh!" But when I turned around it was too late.

He slashed my face. I touched it. The blood stung me. He laughed at me. Then he said. "Spirit. I don't know how you escaped. But it won't happen again." He pulled out his second katana. I stood up and held my katana with both hands. I said. "Your right. It won't. Because it is time to end this. Once. And for all.

We ran at each other. Our swords clashed. He fought and fought. I cut his arm wide open with a slash of my katana. He screamed. And I had a moment of joy. But that was quickly taken away when he came running at me. With both katanas. Pointing straight to my shell. He wanted to finish me. Right here. Right now. I would let him. I just stood there. Waiting for him to give me the final blow. And right before he did. I took one of his swords. And threw him on the ground. Causing it to cut both of his legs. He was cut up pretty bad. He lay there idly. With a pool of blood flowing from his body. I smiled as I raised my katana. "Goodbye brother." I slowly cut him open. From the feet up. My blade cut open his feet. Then slowly made it's way up his leg. And when I got to the chest. I raised it. Ready to stab him. But before I did. I stared straight into his eyes. Wanting to see him suffer. But something hit me. Something kicked me away. She kicked me away. Aki.

My blade lay far away from me. She crowded Leo. Then looked at me. I ran for my blade but she got to me first. I took out my chain. And I tried to slash her. To keep her away. She said. "Stop the insanity! Stop it! All you want is destruction!" She pulled out her scythe. Hit me under the legs. And down i fell. She put her foot on my shell. "All you want. Is for other ones to suffer." She sat close to me now. "For what you have done." She looked down. With her hair in her face. I could see that she was crying. Then she stood up and said. "My brother was right about you! And I'm not gonah take this anymore!" She cut me on both legs. Right above my cloth. She cut me deep. I couldn't move. It almost felt like she paralyzed me. But I could hear her footsteps get lighter and lighter. Til eventually. There was nothing. Only the sound of my own breathing. If raph was here. He could've helped me. Or dusk. But I pushed them all away. How foolish was I! To push the closest ones to me. Completely away! I just closed my eyes. Thought the cruelest thoughts. Thoughts of how I could've saved dusk. Thoughts of what I did raph. But nothing helped me. I cried myself to sleep. On the cold wet ground. But when I woke up. I was in a warm bed. I could move. And all my wounds were healed. It was a miracle. But who could've done this?
