Author's note: Hey guys! I'm back XD Okay some things you need to know about this story: Shredder is just a really really evil human in the story okay? That's the only way I could get this to work out so please don't hate me. This is a turtlecest story...of a sorts (Can I still call it that even though they aren't turtles anymore?!) The pairings include Raph/Leo and Mikey/Donnie. I also feel compelled to warm you that there is going to be physical and sexual abuse as well as bullying and neglect. Note there may also be a rape that isn't done with the sexual abuse but that is still being debated. But there will definitely be some sexy times between the boys! If any of this bothers you, feel free to exit stage right quietly.

Everything hurt... his entire body felt so heavy that even opening his eyes was too much for him. So he just lay there on his side, still and silent in the darkness. Through the darkness came a new pain, starting in his heart and spreading throughout his entire being. This one seeming to overtake the physical pain entirely, bringing tears to his eyes. Gritting his teeth Leonardo fought to remember what had happened to cause so much hurt that only seemed to swallow him up the more he tried.

Hazy images danced in the blue banded terrapin's mind. His brothers... shit where were his brothers?!

Even as he willed with all his being for his eyes to open Leo only managed to peek through the small crack his eyelids had allowed him. His surroundings just as blurred and hazy as his memories had been. With what came of his sight followed with his other senses as well. It was terrible. The scent of freshly spilled blood and death clogged up his nostrils, making him want to gag. He probably would have if he had the strength. The pain he had felt before only intensified as he became more aware, though Leo only managed a low groan to voice his agony. All throughout his body, the turtle felt cuts, most still seeping out blood. However, those weren't what caught his attention.

Protruding from his plastron Leo could see two, blood caked blades among the shattered scales surrounding them. Their tips gleaming in the moonlight, being the only part of them left untainted by the crimson water as it flows freely through the wound. Seeing this, his eyes widened even if only a little. Gradually, he was able to move his arm up to the blades and weakly gripped at them. Gritting his teeth at the pain, he pulled as hard as he could at them. Sadly it didn't seem to be enough, as neither of the blades budged even an inch. The events from only moments ago returning to him.

The time had come at long last. Tonight was the night Leonardo and his brothers had agreed that they would end the Shredder's reign of terror once and for all, and avenge Splinter's Master Yoshi. They had fought their way into Shredder's headquarters, fought more foot ninjas than he had bothered to count and then... nothing. All he could remember next was charging at the one who had proved himself the very embodiment of evil. Yet the hurt inside spiked again, stronger than before. Leo could also remember feeling unbridled rage surging through his veins as the pain was doing now. Why he was so angry, he couldn't recall.

More images flashed in his mind's eye. He could see the Shredder blocking his rage-fueled attacks with both his katanas. He watched as his scenes were returned to him in shock of seeing and feeling the two blades that had always rested on the Shredder's gauntlets embedded themselves into the front of Leo's shell and pierced his chest. Looking around himself now, he could see that most of the blood he was smelling came from the puddle of his own blood he was laying in. How long had he laid here?

Another image glimmered in Leo's mind. He saw himself separating the blades from their master with a swift and powerful turn of his body. Thinking back on it now, he noted the move may have been the reason he was bleeding so terribly now. Finally, the terrapin saw himself slice the Shredder's head clean off, ending the life of their enemy and the battle as well. After that he remembered falling and waking up as he was now. So where were his brothers?

With great difficulty, due to what he knew now to be blood loss, Leo sluggishly managed to prop himself up with both arms to look around. Sure enough, the Shredder's body lay a few feet away from him, his head in it's own surrounding pool of blood. So where…

Dark brown eyes looked around desperately only to land on a sight he'd rather have missed. There his brother's were, in the center of the room. Donnie and Mikey were the first ones Leo saw. A peaceful if not slightly pained expression on his youngest brother's innocent face. Mikey's baby blue eyes now glazed over by death, yet even so a small smile lay on his face. Donnie lay over Mikey's body, covering the youngest so completely that if Leo had been laying in any other direction he wouldn't have seen Mikey at all. Dried tear stains on Donnie's brown-green cheeks told him little Mikey had died first. By the numerous swords sticking out of his back... Donnie had been trying to protect their little brother's body.

Tears finally made their way down the oldest turtle's face. He'd failed them... the pain in his heart made sense now. His two youngest brothers were gone. He'd failed his job to protect them. And if they were gone, does that mean Raph was…?

Looking around once more a choked sob escaped Leo's lips as he laid eyes on the red banded terrapin. Out of all three of his brothers. it was obvious that Raphael had taken the most hits before finally falling. Not an inch of his body was spared from the bruises and lacerations that marred the darkest turtle's skin. A new, fresher wave of pain coursed through Leonardo's body at the sight of his mate in such a state. To see Raphael, his Raphael beaten, battered, cold, and dead not too far from where he lay.

Summoning up what remained of his strength, Leonardo dragged himself to the place his mate lay still, never to open his beautiful golden eyes again. Every movement only caused his body more misery. Leo's aching limbs begging him to stop, to slip back into the darkness. Still he dragged himself sluggishly, inch by inch to his lover's body leaving a trail of blood in his wake.

When, at long last he'd reached Raph's corpse, Leonardo's body collapsed on the ground beside him. Only capable of feebly taking his brother's hand into his own as his vision grew blurry once more.

'Why had it come to this?' he thought as he looked into the forever closed eyes of his love. What had they done to deserve such an end? Was it because of their love? Was their feelings for each other so wrong that they deserved such a terrible fate as retribution for their sin?

'Tch, screw fate,' Leonardo thought as he felt his eyes begin to close, 'If that's the reason for all this then so be it. I don't regret any of it. Though... I do have one wish,' A few more tears escaped his closed lids and fell sluggishly down his cheeks. 'My last and only wish… let's all meet up again. If we're ever reborn, I hope in my next life… we could all… be together again. Yeah… I'd like that.' With that final thought, the oldest turtle's breathing stilled and Leonardo followed his younger brother's in death.

But it was not the end…
