A/N I'm really sorry for the coding. I have no idea what it was. Thanks for warning.

And a little thing- The book "Injured Leo" will be paused because of my lazy ass.

Chapter 1

Leo's POV

„Leo, it's almost sunrise, shouldn't we go to the lair?" I heard one of my brothers ask. „Leo."

„Yeah, yeah. Just a minute." I waved my hand towards them, looking at the streets of New York City. 'The Foot was up to something for a while. Why didn't they do something? This is already our fifth night out there, and still nothing.'

„Yo, Fearless, I don't wanna be the killjoy, but people are getting up, and we're still on a rooftop." Raph crossed his arms on his plastron.

„Just. A. Minute." I replied. 'Geez, are they listening to me?'

„LeeeEEOOO! I'm hungry. Will we take pizza with us?" Begged Mikey.

„I said, just a minute!" I turned to them. They froze and stared at me. I turned my back at them again. 'What's wrong with them? I told them to wait. Is it that hard? Evidently is, for them.' I rolled my eyes in annoyance. After 10 more minutes Raph spoke up, again;

„Leo, the streets are getting busier every second, we should go. We're ninjas. We hide in the shadows. Remem-" I saw a black figure on a roof. I tensed.

„Shush!" I interrupted his speech by putting my finger to the air.

„But-" He tried to continue.

„Hush, Raphael!" I half-shouted half-whispered and looked back. The person was gone. 'Am I getting paranoid?' My eyes were darting from one roof to another. Nothing.

„Leo?" Asked Don quietly and went closer. 'Come on. Show yourself.' I pleaded in my head.

„Maybe... I'm just tired." I relaxed and stepped back. „Let's go." I ordered. The sun already on its way up. They nodded.

„Who's last in the lair, pay for the pizza!" Mikey yelled, already running away with Raph, and Donnie behind his shell. I glared around the rooftops for the last time and joined my brothers.

I was a few rooftops behind them when I saw the black figure again. The figure ran as fast as I, on the other side of street on rooftops. It was looking at me with a blank, black expression. „C'mon, Raphie-boy! Catch me if you can!" Mikey shouted. The figure turned its head to them and ran faster. „Oh, no, you don't!" I said under my breath, and catch up with it. It was about to jump and I launched myself, too. We met in the air just a few meters above my brothers, and fell on the concrete rooftop with a thud, sparring. It was holding kamas, and by its waist was hanging kusarigama. Completely in black. No logo. No colors. Just a pitch black. I couldn't see its face either. We stood in front of each other.

„Leo!"

„Who the shell is that!?" I heard my brothers behind me.

„Get away!" I shouted back at them, but they didn't move a muscle. „Now!" I said louder.

„I'm not leavin' ya here with this thing!" Raph protested.

„Raphael! For once, do what I say!" I yelled, not leaving my sight out of the figure.

„No way, Fearless."

„Raph!" Snapped Donnie as there appeared Foot ninjas everywhere. The person dashed over me with its kamas. I dodged the first attack and second blocked via katanas. I attacked my opponent. It did a backflip to dodge my attack and landed with all precision, like a ballet dancer. A few moments after, we were sparring again. It attacked, I dodged or blocked it. The same on its side. Then Mikey yelped in pain. I lost my focus and looked at my youngest brother's direction. He was pinned to the ground by 3 Foot ninjas, his arm behind his shell. Black- The person in black -used the opportunity of my lost focus, and tackled me to the ground. I blocked its kamas in the last second. I was sweating and panting from the fight, a few inches from my face was the blades of its kamas. I looked at Mikey again. One of the Foot ninjas was just about to finish him. Donatello was surrounded by 6, and Raphael was making his way towards Mike; But not fast enough. „Don't. Touch. My. Brothers!" I yelled and pushed Black off me. I ran to Mikey, kicking the Foot off him, and helping him up. „Mikey, you gotta get out of here. Get Donnie and go." I blocked another attack of Foot ninja. „I'll gain you more time!" I yelled at Mikey and kicked a ninja in the chest. Mikey ran towards Donnie, holding his arm near him. I ran over to Raph. I helped him with the Foot and got to him. „Raph, take Don and Mike, and get your shells outta here!"

„I'm not leavin' ya with them alone!" He said back and gestured to the Foot ninjas on the ground.

„For once, do as I say! Mikey's hurt! He needs you, Raph!" He hesitated for a second.

„Promise me, you'll come back." Raph said and raised his hand.

„Promise." I grabbed his hand and nodded. When they were getting away, I cut off Foot ninjas that wanted to follow them.Then I saw Black, trying to get around me to my brothers. I threw shurikens its way. Black turned to me, and let them be. When there were just 3 ninjas left, Black joined its self to the party. 'Great...' I was dodging, kicking, attacking, again and again. It was exhausting. Minutes later there was just me, and Black. Sun was behind dark clouds, and thunder drums were hearable from far away. We stared at each other, both panting. Both waiting.

„Come, and get me." I whispered loud enough so it could hear it. Black launched towards me, and we were sparring again. My katana sent its kamas in the air, sending them away from us. Black didn't look like it was bothering it. It just took its kusarigama and backflipped. The next thing I remember is laying on the ground. Legs tied together with the kusarigama chain, its blade under my neck, my katanas took away, and Black closely on top of me. I gulped and the blade cut me slightly. 'It can't be. I can't lose. I have to protect my brothers.' Even though Black was so close to me, I couldn't see its face through the black clothing. 'How is it able to see?' I thought. Then Black looked up, searching for something. Someone. I took the opportunity and punched it with my free hand. The kusarigama blade was gone, and I put the chain off my legs. I grabbed my katanas from the ground and got into a fighting stance. Black was on feet, too. But something was wrong. All the knocked out Foot ninjas were gone. 'Are guys okay?' Flashed through my head. That was it; Black caught me off the guard and kicked me in my stomach roughly. I fell on my knees, holding my plastron. It sent pain through my whole body. I weakly got up just as was Black running towards me. Its kusarigama chain hit my cheek and cut it. I stepped backward, cringing from the pain.

Then the storm started. Droplets were covering my body along with my sweat. Smoke was coming out of my mouth every time I breathed out. Lightning accompanied by thunder drum lit up the dark sky. Out of nowhere, there was a whole army of Foot behind Black. I was barely standing on my shaking knees, I haven't slept over 30 hours, and my cuts were burning like hell. Black knew I was on the edge of my strength. But what I didn't know that I was on the edge of the building as well. Black darted out of its place, making its way straight to me.

After that...? It's just blurry.

Flash. Bang. Cold. Nothing.
