   Summary

   Donatello is faced with the eternal sight of failure.

   Raphael hears his brother's cries a moment too late.

   Leonardo fails to fulfill his role as face-man.

   Mikey just wants his brothers back. (+ very nearly faces a fate worse than death)

   Battle Scars AU Prologue: A Movie-Ending rewrite where the TMNT boys face more permanent consequences from their fight with the Krang-- takes a more mature shift from the source material for some lovely IDW-level plot.
