Since my comeback fic, "Mikey's Dirty Little Secret" was almost a critically acclaimed success, I thought I would continue on making more TMNT fics.
This fic here brings us in to the 'TMNT' movie, inspired by the Leo/Raph rooftop battle, but what would happen if Raph did plan to kill Leo? In this fic, this is pretty much what will happen, because he is fed up with Leo's constant lecturing and with that, his anger snapped into a whole new level. This is pretty much my deleted scenes of 'TMNT' with an extreme amount of angst, anger and basically, just Raph losing it.
Warning: This fic may scare the crap out of you, so read at your own risk. LOL Just kidding. Enjoy, though. It rocks!
Breaking Points

Chapter 1: Regrets
After that battle in the roof out in New York, Raph became mentally exhausted and painfully torn, because of his rage towards Leonardo. He went back home and then, went to his room and removed his Nightwatcher outfit. He threw them across the wall and realize that what he's done really pushed him in his boling point.
Then, he looked at his glove and sees that there's still blood in there. And that blood came from Leo. He was extremely feeling some resentment and also some hate towards his brother, because Splinter has been focusing on Leo so much and his jealousy and constant anger has driven him to do something that he could never do--kill him.
The thought was eating him alive during that battle and he had no intention for undoing the damage. Then, his hand was also covered in Leo's blood.
He looked at it and said, "Why did I do that to him?"
With so much questions and regrets burning inside of him, he really did kill his own brother, and he completely didn't know what he was thinking.
Flashback
In the roof....
Leo and Raph were at odds with each other, clashing with each other, because Raph was fed up with Leo's leadership and constant attention and while they were battling, something snapped inside Raph's mind and then, he broke both of the swords and pinned him down to the ground. There was total hatred coming in Raph's eyes and face and Leo looked at him, like he's getting ready to kill him.
He panted furiously and even more furiously and then, he did the unthinkable, he raised his sai in the air to aim at him. Leo looked completely shocked and said, "You don't want to do this!"
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!!! I'm tired of you always stepping in our way and always try to make it all you, you and you!" Raph shouted.
"Why are you doing this?!"
"Because Master Splinter likes you more!"
"Is that what this is about, that I'm his 'favorites'. You know Splinter would never do that!"
"That's what he wants YOU to think!"
"Look, I'm sorry, Raph. Just because Master Splinter sent me to Central America to do what's right, doesn't mean that I'm the better one."
"Sorry's not good enough. He likes you better than me. You two were the ones that abandoned me off to the side."
"Oh, come on, Raph. This is just not like you! You would never do things like that, especially to your brother!"
Raph still has the sai holding on to his hand, looks at Leo and said, "You are not my brother."
Then, Raph came in full force and then, stabs him in the shoulder and then, in his stomach. Screams were coming from Leo and Raph kept stabbing him multiple times and blood was coming out of Leo's skin. Raph panted furiously and realized that all that anger was released and there was Leo, lying in the rain, with blood coming out of his body. Then, Raph came to his face and attempted to use his chain to stangle him, but he stopped when he saw Leo's eyes and they were covered in tears.
Leo coughed and panted slowly and said, "I'm sorry, Raph. I'm sorry if I ever did this to you."
Then, Raph looked at what the damage on what he did. He actually killed his brother without a care in the world. He did that just to unleash on what he's really feeling about Leo. Suddenly, he saw some blood in his glove and it was Leo's. He looked shocked and devastated about what he did.
He went towards him and said, "Come on, brother. Don't do this."
"I'm sorry that I've-- everything I said-- that was wrong of me."
There were tears coming out of Raph's eyes and he realizes that Leo is gonna die. "Come on, brother. Please don't do this! Don't die on me, Leo! Please! Don't leave!"
"I hope that Master Splinter will-- give you all the attention you need." Leo said.
Leo caught his last breath and then, his whole body stopped and suddenly, he died. Raph panted quickly and knew that he really killed his own brother. All that jealousy got him to that point and it went way too far. He looked at Leo and he didn't say anything. He really is dead.
"No... please don't do this! Leo, I'm sorry! I'm sorry for everything! I'm sorry for everything I said and did! Please....don't leave us like this! Leo! Please......"
He grabbed Leo's body and buried his face in his chest and started sobbing uncontrollably. He couldn't go back in time and undo what he already did. He looked at his entire Nightwatcher outfit and realizes that it consumed him to be a menace. He got down on his knees in the rain and screamed, "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Back to reality...
Raph's anger transformed himself into a untamed monster and persuaded him to kill his own brother and realized that all the jealousy and angst he had was a sign that he really hated Leo. He wanted to kill him because he thought it would be better off if Leo wasn't around and instead, it would be just him, Splinter, Mikey and Donny.
He looked at himself in the mirror and then, took a long look at himself. He saw his reflection and sees Leo's blood on his hand. He looked at his own hands and realizes that the two sides of him came together for a ginormous fighting combination. The resentment he felt towards Leo was growing bigger and bigger and bigger until the amount of hate consumed him that he snapped and killed him.
He panted furiously and then, screamed at the top of his lungs and then, he went back to his bed and looked at his Nightwatcher outfit and he sees his reflection on the thing and it represented aggression and anger consuming underneath that anger of him and it was not who he was supposed to be.
He closed his eyes, then he threw the thing on the wall and breaks it in pieces. Every little piece of the outfit reminded him of that battle with Leo, which led to brutality and death. He shouted, "TO HECK WITH THE NIGHTWATCHER!!!"
Then, he got down on his knees, lowered his head and then started crying hysterically. Then, he looked up at the ceiling with tears in his eyes and a heavy heart and shouted, "I'M SORRY, LEO!!!!! WHY DID I DO THIS TO YOU?!!!!!"
"Raphael...."
That voice frightened him the most and when he looked up, it was Master Splinter looking at him. He lowered his head down, because he did not want to face him, not after what he's done.
"Master, I have done something....horrible."
Splinter knew it was serious and he said, "Continue on."
