It Ended...But At What Cost?

Chapter 11 > It Ended...But At What Cost?

<><><><><><><><>

Narrator's P.O.V

"I can't..handle it...Raph." "I know Donnie, I know! Just hold tight to my hand!" With Donnie hanging to Raph's arm, it was harder to grip the edge. Constant groans and grunts were heard from Raph, showing that he's doing his best to keep themselves alive.

"I can't make it..Raph. Save yourself.."
Raph's eyes widened while he gripped more. "Have you lost your shell, Donnie!? I can't just let you drop to your death! You're my damn brother! I can't..lose you.." His voice cracked down while he tried not to cry.

"Raph..." But before Donnie could finish his sentence, he felt Raph's grip loosen. His knuckles were pale green, as if he was pressing hard. "If you wanna go down, you'll go with me Don." Stern tone filled his voice. Now it was Donnie who widened his eyes.
"No! They need you..more than they need..me." Donnie couldn't talk properly as his eyes drooped. "Donnie? DONNIE!?" Donnie has passed out from blood-loss, and if he didn't hurry, there would be more than passing out.

Raph's grip kept loosening, making him fear. That was, until a giant hand showed up. "Take my hand, Raphael!" Slash's hand grabbed his buddy's, pulling him up. But every action has an outcome.

"Oh no..Spike WATCH OUT!!" The words made April cower in fear.

"Oh no..Father WATCH OUT!!"

She snapped her face towards them, seeing Shredder going full speed at Slash. "Slash! MOVE!" Leo's shriek echoed in the air, giving chills to everyone. But, was it too late to act?

*SLASH*

Everyone eagerly looked for the hurt opponent, but some of them saw a familiar scene, breaking their hearts once again.

There was laying Slash on the ground, which he took no damage. Everybody's eyes widened in fear and dread. "RAPH!"

There stood the ultimate Shredder, holding up a poor, wounded mutant who was just trying to save his friend. Blood dripped from the gash in his plastron, once again, his loose eyes drooping. "Never knew..I had to kill someone twice." Then threw the pale turtle to the passed out one.

But in the way of doing so, he threw him too hard, making it fly to the edge again. That was when everything went in slow motion for everyone. The red turtle was hit to the purple one, both falling off the high building. "NO!!!" Leo shrieked in wrath, sprinting full speed at the murderer. "YOU TOOK THEM AWAY FROM ME! YOU MONSTER...!" On his way, he broke down slowly, falling to the ground crying silently. Why did this have to happen..? Why did his nightmare have to come true?

Shredder only smirked, walking towards the broken turtle. "I have been waiting for so long to do this.." He brought his claws up, ready to take them down on Leo. "MY SON!" Splinter blocked his attack, getting hit on the hand himself. He hissed, but continued to fight neitherless. "How do you feel when your so-called-sons are gone, rat!?" Splinter tried not to break down like his eldest son, fighting more, not answering.

The others joined in, all except one turtle. The leader. The one who's supposed to be leading his team, encouraging them to fight, but he was too broken to do so. He clenched his teeth as he remembered his bitter nightmare.

The others - unknown - were fatigued while bruised. Suddenly, a shriek could be heard, "AHHHH!" The sound was young, heart-rending, and painful. The body fell to the ground, revealing to be the one and only Casey Jones.

"NO!" Leo screamed, even though he knew it was a nightmare, he still couldn't bear the scene.

Now it was his brothers' time to perish. He witnessed how his unconscious brothers were thrown off the roof by the monster. "NO!!!" Leo screamed once again, too bottled up to save anymore negative energy anymore. He fell to his knees, sobbing hard. Why did this have to happen..?

~

He was pulled back to reality when he heard a low-pitched shout. "SLASH! MY LEADER!" Leo's head jerked up, only to see a ball-like thing on the ground; which was spiky. Leo scoot closer to it, immediately regretting that he did. There it was, Slash's head and flesh on the ground, covered in blood. Even more tears streamed down Leo's eyes. He couldn't keep going anymore.

There were faint sounds ringing in Leo's ear, telling him to "Get up and fight!". Therefore, He fetched his katanas from the ground, running towards the battlefield. I have to try. I have to fight for them. Or that's what he thought.

It didn't pass so long before an overwhelmed shriek was heard.
"I am sick of this madness, Saki! I will end this vendetta of yours once in for all! You have taken my sons' lives already! And I will make you pay!" Everyone was startled by the rat's Japanese accent and madness. But what shook them, was the reckless action of Splinter.

Full sprinting, the master ran towards the monster like he was a young teen running for his dreams. He tackled the huge man, punching, kicking, even biting him. The giant monster was hurt, but continued to struggle anyways. Though, his legs were stumbling backwards to the building's edge. Everybody tried calling for Splinter, which was no success. Until it hit everyone like a punch in the gut. Splinter was doing this on purpose.

"Get off me, you-!" But before Shredder could finish, he was falling to his death. There was no doubt he wouldn't survive from the fall, since the building is one of the highest buildings in NYC, but what about the rat on him? Will he survive too?

"FATHER, NO!" Leo shouted running for his Sensei, already knowing it wasn't possible. But it was too late, too late to act. No voice was heard as a brief silence took place, followed by a loud thump and splash. The grudge, the lump in Leo's throat didn't leave. A hand caressed his shoulder, revealing to be the only human hand left. "Leo...I'm sorry.." Leo shook his head and ran for the stairs to leave. He ran full speed to the first level.

He reached the crashing spots, his eyes watering more. The first creatures he saw were his poor two younger brothers, laying on the ground, pale, covered in blood and obviously dead. A sob escaped his mouth as he approached, kneeling down on the ground. He brushed his lost brothers' cheeks, taking in the horrible view; his second youngest brother with a missing leg, his shell being crashed into pieces, his other younger brother who experimented death twice, and there was no way back. Leo sobbed loudly, looking to the other huge mutants. His rat father being on the ground with a blade through his head, and the dead monster's flesh everywhere.

Only one question came across Leo's mind.

"What has my life become...?"

...

(now now you guys must be like, wtf just happened!? Well lemme clear something. Dead people = Raph, Donnie, Casey, Splinter, Slash and Shredder. There will be at least one or two more chapters, probably one. This story is fucked up, I know😔 but bear with me)
