Raph couldn't help a smile... Leo truly did love him... It was not a lie. He could feel blood dripping down to his fingers, but he also felt his right hand come loose. He braised himself, tensing his legs, he turned his body, his fist connecting with Rocksteady's chin in a strong upper cut punch. The henchman stumbled back groaning painfully, falling and hitting his head. Damn Raph had a strong right.

Leo felt Shredder's hold loosen a bit, he took advantage and pushed his body backwards, connecting the back of his head to the enemy's face. The sadist yelled in pain, taking a couple of steps back while holding his face. Unfortunately Leo also got a bit dazed, slowing his body's reaction. Before he knew it he felt a strong grip grab hold of his carapace and his feet lifted from the ground as he was thrown through the glass, shattering it as his body went through it, he yelped and rolled, the pain excruciating. Raph spit out the gag from his mouth and ran with the chair still tied to his other hand towards his fallen beloved. "Leo!!! Shit, shit, shit!"

Leo was bleeding from multiple cuts, he was breathing raggedly, but he managed to open an eye and smile at Raph. "You shell-for-brains... Who told you you could play hero for the night...?" Raph clicked his tongue, thank goodness this beautiful idiot had enough energy to crack a joke at a time like this.

Raph held Leo and hushed him for comfort. "I got ya, Fearless... I'm getting us out." Suddenly he heard glass shards breaking as footsteps approached them. He raised his face and saw Oroku Saki glaring at them. This guy wanted more blood; he wanted all their blood.

Raphael stood up, Leo grabbing at him to keep him close. He glared back at the enemy. "You really are a savage beast, Raphael," the man said. "Save yourself the pain, abide by my desire, and maybe I'll even spare that one's sorry life."

"I ain't scared of ya... Like Leo said, I rather die first, you scum bucket." Raph took a defensive pose, his fists clenched, chair in one hand as a shield, ready for a throwdown.

Saki laughed at him. "This should be fun..."

Raph yelled as he ran forward, he aimed the chair at the man, breaking it on impact against the gauntlet, then one fist after the other was dodged almost effortless. Raph grunted with every stride, he started counting the moves. One. Two. One-two. TWO-ONE! Raph's right hook nailed Shredder straight in the side of his head, on his temple. The man stumbled back, Leo sat up coughing, he felt a pinch on his mid chest, probably from a a broken rib. His eyes went wide when he saw Saki stumble, his mouth fell open as Raph didn't hesitate to keep going after him with one punch after another.

He was on a rampage! Oroku's head flung from side to side with every impact, thick scarlet liquid painting his skin. Raph was out of breath. His movements slowed down, he saw his triumph near. Leo smirked in disbelief.

Raph panted, he watched as Saki seemed to stumble forward, he grinned... It was over.

He turned to smile at Leo, but instead of a smile his face curled painfully as he felt something sharp slid across his side. The Shredder's eyes were lit with anger. Leonardo gasped and stood up, Raph tried to turn and block the swings but was hit on his jaw straight on and hard. He fell side ways. "Raph!" Leo's body was slick with red blood from all his cuts. "You monster! Why won't you give up!?" Shredder slowly turned to the shorter turtle. Fuck. His anger had suddenly been redirected towards Leonardo. And how much he hated Leo right now. He hated him enough to kill him.

Leo took a defensive stance. Oroku threw punch after punch at Leo, which he managed to dodge and block swift enough to avoid greater damage. Leo threw a few jabs too, but could only connect the last one; a weak hit. Weak but strong enough to raise the man's already flaring temper. "Today you die!" The man growled.

He tightened the grip on his gauntlet and threw a straight jab at Leo. The turtle fell to his knee for stability and crossed his arms in front of himself to shield his head from the impact, but the hit never came. He opened his eyes to see Raphael in front of him clenching a bloody hand tightly around the gauntlet, holding it away from them. "Not today. Not by your hand, ever..." Raph hissed.

The man looked at him while clenching his teeth, then the corners of his mouth curved up into an evil grin. His free hand came behind his back and pulled out a loaded revolver; he aimed it straight at Raph's head between his eyes. Leo gasped as he clung to his beloved. Their green skin went two shades lighter in panic. Off course the bastard had a gun.

"Leo, get behind me..." Raph whispered, trying to stay calm. He slid an arm in front of Leo trying to push him back while still holding the gauntlet in his other hand, his skin getting cut deeper and deeper.

"No." Leo pushed Raph carefully as to not make any sudden movements, placing himself next to his lover. "Enough. Let Raph go." Saki cocked the gun, it's barrel pushing against Raph's forehead. "Raph... Go." Leo's voice was but a whisper. The angry man huffing loudly in front of them, his eyes dark and murderous, his brow twitching ferociously.

"Da hell I'm leaving ya here..." Raph hushed. He tried pushing Leo, but he wouldn't budge. Any sudden movement would certainly send the maniac into a killing frenzy.

Leo grabbed Raph's hand in his own. He tightened his fingers around it. "Raphie... I love you."

Raph was scared. "I love ya too, Fearless..." He tried pushing again.

"Raphie, please don't do this to me..." Leo's eyes were darting in their orbits trying to figure a way out.

Saki laughed, his breaths were getting more steady. He was enjoying seeing them in that state. "I'll send you both to hell together, blasted turtles."

Then, he noticed it... The little red dot hovering on the man's hand right over the trigger finger. Leo's mind raced. Whatever or whoever it was, it was good. He waited intently, his senses suddenly cleared, his mind was swift and alert. He heard a loud clang; something rolled through the floor, diverting all of their eyes. A metal canister passed by their feet, then stopped. When Leo saw Oroku's eyes turn slightly to look at the object, he pushed Raph out of the way, covering him with his body. The canister erupted instantly letting loose a thick white fog. A gun shot was heard, followed by Saki's painful screams. They started coughing as the smoke reached their faces. Their eye's were burning as well as their throats. Leo stayed on top of Raph, in his head he kept repeating, 'please not him, not him, not him... Keep him safe...' He opened his eyes despite the pain as he heard a hoard of footsteps run into the room, people were screaming orders at them to stay down. Then Leo felt a soft touch on his shoulder. "It's ok, guys. You're safe now." Leo recognized the voice, but thought it was impossible... Surely he had received too many hits to his head. He recognized the uniforms as law enforcement agents. He couldn't help the sobs that came out of his mouth, he hugged Raph tightly. Raph was speechless, his eyes darting around the scene.

The officer with the familiar voice was helped by another very large officer in almost carrying the two turtles out of the building. Once outside, they noticed a crowd of people gathered behind the police line. "Guys! Over here!" Mikey was pushing himself through, followed by Usagi.

Leo was taken to a separate ambulance from Raph, he screamed to them to keep them together, Raph screamed too, but they were too hurt to really offer a fight. Mikey and Usagi managed to get through and ran to Leo. The older turtle pulled down his oxygen mask to address his friends. "RAPH! Go to Raph! Keep him safe!" Usagi nodded at Mikey and went to where they had the larger terrapin.

"Usagi is on it, Leo. Relax. Put that thing back on, bro." Leo was breathing raggedly. His mind was still racing.

"Leo...?" He turned his head quick towards the familiar voice. The officer who had taken them out was now next to him. Leo squinted his eyes in disbelief. The mystery man removed his helmet to reveal an olive green face.

"Donnie...?" Both Leo and Mikey said in unison. Don smiled meekly as two other officers came to his side. They removed their helmets, the larger figure was a very big alligator humanoid, Leo remembered him from campus as one of Donnie's few friends and he knew they both worked together a lot in the college's lab. The second character, left him even more confused. Before him stood mister John Bishop, his counselor. "M-mister B-Bishop...? What is this!?"

"Hello, Leonardo... I believe we have a lot of explaining to do." The man placed a set of dark glasses over his face, Don rubbed the back of his head nervously.
