Is there really a Hell...



Part 10,

Donatello sat near me till Master Splinter got in the room. I looked up at Master Splinter.

"I'm ok, check on Mikey." Master Splinter sat down near me and looked me in the eyes. He could see that there was some unknown pain going through me. He looked at Donatello

"There is something going on, and I do not know what I can do about it." Splinter put his hand on my forehead, feeling the pain that I had. "What ever has him, is very powerful and is nothing like we have ever fought." My eyes started to get watery, I held back the tears that I had from the pain. I looked up at Ninjara and Mikey.

"I'm Ok, check on Mikey" I said again, this time using my hand to point at the bed. Lifting my hand felt like lifting 200 lbs weight. I couldn't move it to much, the pain felt as it was going to rip my arm right out of my shell. I dropped my arm back down. Splinter's head turned to look at Mikey lieing on the bed. With all the pain, I moved again, this time to stand up. I felt the pain, but I couldn't do anything about it, besides going back to the W's. Splinter's head turned towards me, he knew I shouldn't be standing. My legs were like weights themselves. I felt as if I couldn't stand, but some how, with an inner power I was able to stand. I looked to see Splinter looking at me with a worry in his eyes. I turned to see Donatello getting ready to catch me if I fell.

Raph stood in the door watching. I could see the anger in his face, for a moment I felt as if he didn't care if I lived or died right then. Then the pain got worse, I fought just standing there, my eyes looking around. It was as if I couldn't do anything else. Than, with all the pain, pushing it to the back of my mind, I took a step. I started to walk, slowly to the door. Raph just watched, he didn't even try to help. As I walked pass him, I felt as if a cold chill went down my shell. Ninjara watched from the bed, as if I would try something in this much pain. As I made it to the door I fell to my knees. I looked up and saw Raph standing over me.

"If this is Leo, than why does he run from us each time he's in pain? And why two times in a roll, does he drop in pain in front us to get out, yet at the fights, he seems alright?!!!" Raphael was mad, and from the sound of his voice he didn't think it was me, thought I was acting to be in pain, and believe I should be killed.

"Raphael! I'm sure there's more to this story that we will learn in time! Isn't there Leo?" Donatello asked walking up to me, helping me off the floor, just to feel more pain as my feet touched the ground. I looked down, I felt a tear fall from my face. There was two strong pains in me, and I know the one that hurt the worse was, I still don't have time to tell my brothers what's going on, and they don't know about me any more. That could hurt worse than anything else, you never want your brothers turning on you at a time like this, and Master Splinter, what would I do without his help?

Raphael stepped in front of the door. "You're not going anywhere! Not till you tell us what's going on!" I looked down. Feeling the pain was nothing to me at this time. I had to tell my brothers. Master Splinter walked up to me.

"My son, please do tell your story. If you can, but if you can't I can understand." Raphael looked at Splinter... he didn't like it that Splinter was telling me I could leave.

"No Way Master Splinter! Leo's not just getting up and leaving again! I don't care how much this hurts him! But he has to tell us the truth!" Raphael walked over and picked my sore body off the feet that hurted so much, for a moment I didn't mind, because it released some of the pain, but than it hit me, Raph just might do worse than that pain to me. "Look, he's already hurt me.. and look at Michaelangelo! For all we know he could have done that too!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"I didn't do that to Mikey! The Shredder did! All I know about his fight, was that he was put in front of me all bloody. DAMN IT RAPH I BROUGHT HIM HOME TO BE TAKEN CARE OF, NOT FOR YOU TO GET AFTER ME!!!" The blades on my arms started to burn, than it took me seconds to use them, Raph was on the ground. I looked to see what I did. "I'm so sorry Raph!" Raph was on the ground blood across his face. "I didn't mean too, it's these blades." Raph looked at me, I felt as if he was going to kill me for this. I stood up, with all the pain in me and looked at Master Splinter. "I have to go." I turned to walk out. Again, Raph jumped in my way.

"You're not leaving Leo!" Just than another pain went through me. Terror wanted me home, and I knew it. I looked to see my brothers eyes looking at me. Don and Ninjara over Mikey.. who was still out cold and Raph standing in my way out. "Tell us your DAMN STORY LEO!"

"Very well Raph, but if we all get killed because of this, I'm blaming you!" I sat down, to ease the pain on my legs. Raphael came over and sat near me, just far enough for me not to be able to touch him. "You see, that night when we all went our own ways..." I paused for a second, as another pain went up my back... I just wanted to end it, but I wasn't going to leave this world dishonored by the W's. "to find out more about the W's. Well I got caught. I almost won that fight too." I lowered my head... it's not easy for me to amit defeat.

"Go on my son." Splinter said, putting his arm on my shaking leg. He could tell I was in pain, and that I had to leave. But to have me leave now would not help them, to find how to help me. "It's ok. We all know you try your best in a fight."

"I was taken to the W's New York HQ. They placed these Blades on me, and put a shot in me." I gasped for air as a sharp pain went through. I felt it go up my shell and through my throat. I fought to get my breath back, to tell some more to my brothers, who awaited my story. "The shot causes a pain, when ever they want me... which... I feel right now." I lowered my head even more, to look up at Splinter was a fear, I feared I let him down. "He also told me about a bomb here in N.Y. and if I don't return and do what he says, he'll destroy New York." Splinter than knew why I didn't return. I would rather myself be in pain, than to let millions of humans die.

"AAAAAHHHHH" I looked up to another sound of a cry from pain. It was Mikey, as Donatello touched his leg. Donatello stood up and walked over to Master Splinter.

"What ever Shredder did to Mikey, he wasn't being easy on him. I don't think Mikey will be able to make it through the night." I looked down over hearing Donatello talk to Master Splinter. Splinter looked at me.

"Raphael and I will take Leo back to the W HQ. Donatello I want you and Ninjara to take care of Mikey." I could feel the weakness from my brother and I wanted to help him, but like Mikey I too am weak. Splinter and Raph picked me up. I felt the blood from Raph's face drip on my arm. I felt the anger from Raph as he held me. I knew he didn't know if he could believe my story or not.

I went with Splinter and Raphael, and told them where to take me. Splinter also saw the anger in Raph and tried to loosen him up. "Raphael, we must understand Leo's problems." Raph turned his head and acted as if he didn't hear Master Splinter. Once we got to the W HQ Raph and Master Splinter set me down outside. "My son, we're always here for you. This is going to be a test on you, to do what is right. I know you'll find away out my son."

"Master..." I said with all the pain, yelling at me not to talk. "I forgot to say one more thing." I let the blades out for Splinter to see. Master Splinter stepped back, he's only seen them while I hit Raphael earlier. "These things.. I don't know when and where...." I reached up to hold Splinter's hand. "but they can only..." I felt the blades burn me... like if the blades knew I was about to say something to Master Splinter, that wasn't to be said to anyone. "be removed. ahhhhh" I yelled at the pain went at me again. Than we heard noise the W's heard my scream and was coming.

I turned towards the door, because of the noise of the W's coming and when I looked back Master Splinter and Raphael was gone. I heard his voice from a far. "I love you my son. Take care." I looked up to see the door open, a W kid was looking at me.

"LORD TERROR!!!!! THE TURTLE IS BACK!!!!" The kid yelled picking me up. Terror walked over and looked at me. He didn't look happy at all.

"It took you long! A little too long! Next time you're gone that long, say good bye to New York!" The pain hit me harder, I fell to the ground, it was as if I was going to pass out, but I didn't. He wanted me awake for the pain, for being gone so long, and to leave without him telling me I could go. A W kid took me to my room and lied me on my bed.

It's now been a week, of all pain. I couldn't sleep at all because of the pain, and I'm very tired. I lied, feeling pain going through my body and it seem to only get worse. Terror walked in my room, and looked at me.

"I hope there's not a next time of this. Leo you should know better than letting anything that we hold free! Your brothers will pay for your move." My pain stopped, I felt my body just drop to relax, it felt so good. "You have an hour, I want you to join Shredder, my dad and I in the Lunch room." I watch Terror walked out. I haven't really met his dad before, and I feared the thought of meeting Killer. I set my clock to wake me in an half hour and I went to bed.

I looked up to see Donatello standing over me. His Bo staff at my face, he was ready to do me in. I jumped up and knocked him up against the wall.

"DONATELLO!!! ARE YOU MAD?!!!"

"Yea Leo! I'm mad at YOU!!" Donatello brought his bo down towards my head. I jumped out of the way. "You let us Down Leo! And the only way to stop you is too KILL YOU!!!"

"NO! DONATELLO!!!! THERE'S ANOTHER WAY!!!! WON'T YOU LISTEN TO ME!!!!" Using my sword I cut his Bo in half, than my blades came out. I jumped Donatello and my blades went right into him. "NO!!!!!" I yelled as Don's body fell to the ground.

"See what trouble you cause Leonardo! It's all your fault the W's are after us!" I turned to see Raphael, all of his wounds look as if they were re opened. "You just killed Donatello! Are you happy now!"

"My son, you have failed me!" I turned to see Master Splinter. I couldn't believe what I was hearing... than I looked at my hands and blades all bloody, Donatello's body below me.

"It's time for you to join what you just did to Donny Leo!" I looked to see Ninjara. My family, My friend! They've turned on me. I'm all alone, Raph and Master Splinter started to walk towards me.

"It's YOUR FAULT MIKEY AND DONNY DIED! NOW YOU SHOULD JOIN THEM!!!" Raphael said, jumping at me. Sais in hand. I stepped back, than my blade reacted again, but before I could go after Raph. Ninjara jumped in the way, with her sword right at my face. I kick her sword out of her hand and my blades cut into her. I looked up at Master Splinter as Ninjara's body fell to the ground.

Just than my alarm went off. I sat up, it was a nightmare. Something going to happen, am I going to kill my brothers? And why wasn't Mikey in the Dream? They said he's dead! Is Mikey ok? I jumped out of my bed, and started to get ready to join Terror, Killer and Shredder at the lunch room. I couldn't figure out what was going on all the way, but I wanted to go home and check on Mikey... I hope... I hope... I hope that Shredder didn't hurt him to the point to where he's dead.

Once I got to the lunch room I saw Mokeshan standing across the room. I didn't get told she would be here. I sat down at a table that Shredder was at, Terror was sitting next to Shredder. They were waiting for Killer. No one said a word.

Killer walked in and looked at me. Than he sat down next to me. Mokeshan walked behind Killer and sat down next to him. "It's time we get to know each other, Leonardo. I know you've heard of me, and you know most of the rules of being in the W's. Now it's time you learn more." Killer leaned forward. "It's time you all learn more. Come... you have a place to see." We got up to follow, Terror was right behind me and Killer was in front of me. Shredder and Mokeshan followed at the end of the line. We went down to the basement. I looked around, not knowing what was going on, what ever it was it wasn't good with Killer leading the way. We came to a stop. I looked at Shredder and Mokeshan, I could see they knew where we were going. They grabbed a hold of the wall, than I felt why. The ground began to shake, I fell to my hands and knees, than saw what was going on.

A cave came out of the ground. The walls of the cave was made of fire. I could feel the heat as Killer lead us in. I walked in, feeling the anger and fear all around me. It was the worse feeling I've ever had. Terror looked at me and came up closer.

"Welcome to our home...Hell!" Terror said with a evil smile. I looked at him, he seemed to be happy to be here, but I didn't like it to much. Than we walked into a room, the heat was hotter than anything. I looked up to see a Red and yellow glow that filled the room. It was pure evil, that's all that I could feel in this room.

"Is This the Turtle?" A voice said. I looked around, but still didn't see anyone else. The voice sent fear into my heart. I wanted to run out of the room, but I stood my ground, wondering who was talking.

"Yes. This is him." Killer said walking forward towards the center of the room.

"Than leave the Turtle for me. Killer you know where to take the others. This Turtle will learn there's no escape from the W's." I looked back at Mokeshan, she looked down. She didn't look happy at all, I looked back at Killer. Killer walked over.

"Leonardo you are to stay here. Everyone else come with me." They walked out. Than a flame flew down around me, I could feel my skin burning, but I stood there with all the pain going through me. Than in front of me I saw the flames go together to make one shape, it took Shape of the Person I hated the most. Shredder.

"You're the Turtle named Leonardo.. the leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." He said walking towards me, as if I didn't know that. "Now you're on the other side of the table, and now you'll live in the most feared place of all. Your new home is here, in hell." I backed away, I didn't want to stay here. "I've wanted one of you Turtles for so long, I guess I got the one I thought I would never had... now Raph he's more the kind I like. But I guess you'll have to do."

I didn't know what to do, but each time he said anything it was like stabbing a knife into me. This is the devil, the thing everyone fears. All he is, is all of your fears put together. Your worse nightmares, and he wanted me! I don't want to be a part of this. I started to look around, but the door was gone. I was trapped in this room. Than I notice he was coming towards me. The flames in the room came up all around. I felt burns as the flame touched. I wanted to go home, I wanted Master Splinter.

Fear filled my head. There really is a hell, and it is now what I'm up against... can I win a fight like this?
