Once in the relative safety of the sewers Leo finally allowed himself to relax, just a bit. He still needed to get them away from the area. He knew he was hurt, probably bad, but he refused to give in. "All right guys, let's get out of here." and he turned and led them down the tunnels.
"Leo, please, let me look you over. Your bleeding." Donnie said worried.
"I'll be fine. Come on." He said without even stopping. Quietly they followed him.
"We going back to, April's?" Raph asked.
Wearily Leo nodded his head. "I made a promise and I intend to keep it." God this had been a long night. He hoped Vicky wasn't getting worried. They had been out way later than their usual time by now. He was so tired he could just curl up next to her and fall asleep for days. He shook his head and pushed that thought out of his mind. He needed to stay focused. He stuck to the sewer route to April's, mainly because he was to tired to go rooftop, so it took them a bit longer than it normally would have to get there.
They had just come topside near April's shop when they hear a thunderous roar in the sewer behind them. Raph went to look in, "SHIT!" and he backpeddled away just as something dark burst up. Then Brian stood in front of them. He stood towering over them his yellow gaze, searching and they could here him sniffing the air. Then he fixed his gaze on Leo. That gaze sent chills down his spine. 'Not good, not good at all.'
Suddenly Brian pounced and Leo ducked under him and swiftly rolled back to his feet. Raph had launched himself toward the beast and kicked him further away, but he was quick and he rebounded and, ignoring Raph, went straight for Leo again. Leo found himself once again dodging the massive beast but this time he had managed to get Leo on his already hurt arm, there was a very deep cut now. Waves of pain shot through Leo and he began to bleed enormously. He struggled to bring himself to focus. The beast had stopped to sniff the paw he hit Leo with and to everyone's horror he licked the blood off of his paw.
"He's hunting me." Leo whispered in horror as the large beast went for him yet again. Leo desperatly struggled to keep him at bay as he became aware of his brothers trying to get Brian's focus off of him. Leo tried to dodge once again but he wasn't quick enough and the beast pinned him under a paw. As he brought the massive head down to clamp on Leo's neck Donnie's staff came whirling in and slammed it upside the head. He roared in fury and the grip on Leo loosened which he quickly took advantage of and rolled away. Brian paused only long enough to take a half hearted swipe at Donnie, who neatly backflipped out of the way. Once again Leo found himself the focus of the attention of the large beast. He charged at Leo again and Mikey came in and tripped him up as Leo tried to flip over him, but he was getting to weak and tired to complete it and landed on his shell, instinct told him to roll away as Brian pounced where he had been moments before. His arm was getting worse and it was bleeding even more now with the added scratches. He got up and once again had to dodge out of the way diving yet again to the ground and rolling back up.
Leo was tiring, he couldn't keep this pace up, but the beast seemed relentless as it turned around and charged at him again. Leo felt pain explode in his arm again as Raph crashed into him, grabbed him and pulled him out of the way. "Raph...I...can't...keep...this...up." He struggled to get out.
"I know, Leo. We're trying to keep him off of you." Raph then pushed him to Donnie, then rolled himself, to avoid another lunge. Brian hit the ground and immeadiatly spun and came at him again and Donnie pushed him to Mikey. Yet again he came on and this time he intercepted Leo before Raph could catch him. Leo felt the air knock out of his lungs as he hit the ground. As he lay struggling for breath Raph came flying in with a kick to knock the beast off and Mikey grabbed Leo and got him up. Then the beast barreled into them both and they went flying backwards. Mikey quickly grabbed Leo and held him close as they landed, absorbing his and Leo's weight on his shell. He kept holding onto his older brother and rolled with him out of the way as Brian came flying in again.
As he set himself for another leap Donnie and Raph together plowed into him trying to put distance between him and Leo. Mikey managed to get Leo up again but it was all Leo could do to stand. Pushing his brothers aside Brian again charged and Mikey pushed Leo out of the way. Leo moaned in pain as he hit the ground on his right arm. Weak from bloodloss and pain he tried to get up, knewing his life depended on it, and couldn't. He tried again and collapsed back to the ground. Leo looked up and saw his brothers desperately trying to keep him away but the beast still came on. 'Get up, you have to get up.' He managed to get one leg under him when he felt a crushing weight on him, knocking him back down. This time it was Donnie that came in and knocked the paw loose as Raph grabbed him.
"Guys..."
"Hush, Leo we are not letting him get you." Raph held his brother close and stared defiantly at the beast who was stalking in again. Donnie and Mikey came up and stood next to their brothers. Eyes hard, they stared the creature down. They would not give in and they were not backing down. They would protect their brother with their life. The beast growled and stalked in again. "Brian! STOP!"
Leo weakly lifted his head, Lucy was standing if front of April's shop with April and Casey. They stood, staring wide eyed in shock at the sight. Lucy then ran infront of the beast placing herself between him and Leo. "Brian, please stop. They are trying to help you. Brian..."
The beast growled and took a step closer, then stopped and shook his head. Then he looked at Lucy for a moment and fled up the building across from April's shop and fled off into the night.
Raph immediately laid Leo down and Donnie was at his side. "Shit, shit, shit, Leo why do you have to be so god damn stubborn? We need to get him to the lair. Now!"
"I'll go get the van." Casey said and ran around back.
"No.." Leo said "He'll... follow..."
"Leo, I'm not going to let you bleed out here in the middle of the street. If he follows we will deal with that but I have to get you home. April I need some things to stop the bleeding, do you have anything?"
"I'll go look."
Raph held his brother close. "Hang on, Leo."
"Damn it, he's loosing blood bad. Between the gunshot, the glass cuts all over him and that scratch..... Leo stay with me, please for god's sake stay with me."
"I'm....try..ing." Leo replied. He was holding on with everything he had but it was getting difficult. He hurt, he was, weak and he was tired....god he was so tired.
"Talk to me, Leo." Donnie said. April came running out of the house with some old towels and handed them to Donnie.
"I..feel...like...shit." Leo replied. Casey drove the van around.
"You should see yourself from this side." Mikey said.
"Let's get him in the van." Donnie said. "Hang on, Leo."
Together they lifted him in the van. "Bring...Lucy." Leo gasped.
"She is already in the van. She's upfront with April and Casey."
They were all in and Raph closed the door. "Go!" he told Casey and their friend complied, slamming on the gas.
Donnie started to rip the towels to strips and told Mikey and Raph to place them on the worst of the wounds. Leo took this all in in a daze, he was trying to hold on but it was getting harder. 'Donnie..." he said weakly "I can't.."
"Hang in there, Leo."
Leo looked up into the worried faces of his brothers and then he slipped into darkness.
