Leo found himself in a bright white room. And he couldn't see any walls nor floors, he's not even sure where he was standing.

"Hello?" He asked to no one in particular. His voice echoed through the place, giving him creeps.

"Leonardo.."

Instinctively, the blue clad turtle reaches for his katanas, only to find out they're gone.

"It's alright Leonardo.."

"Who's there?!" He yelled, his voice echoed once again, this time louder.

"You know me.."

Leo burrowed his eyebrows, trying to recognize the voice.

It's a soft voice, not too loud nor too deep, nor too high-pitched. Like a river washes over a stone in spring.

"No.. way.." he gaped.

A deep-hearted laugh echoed the room.

"Yes way."

A middle aged man appeared, with snow white hair and skin as pale as snowflakes. His eyes were silver, very enchanting. He was wearing a simple white shirt and black pants, making him almost looked normal if not for the silver glow around his body.

His resemblance with Jack is almost uncanny for the blue clad turtle.

"Man in moon.." Leo wheezed, eyes widened.

The man smiled softly.

"I prefer Manny, Man in moon is a wee bit too..," he paused, seemed to be looking for the right words.

"Exclusive .... -ish."

The blue clad turtle burst out laughing.

Manny chuckled, shaking his head.

"Well, i assume you have many questions hmm?" He clasped his hands, nodding towards Leo.

"Uh... yeah."

"Go on.."

"I.. i don't want to be rude.."

The white haired man just rolled his eyes humorously.

"Alright then. Be rude."

"Okay," Leo sucked in a deep breath

"Why am i here? Why are you here? What just happened? Why did i turn Pitch's nightmare sand into funny blue glittering sand thingies?-"

"Woah woah! When i say 'go on', i didn't mean all of your questions at once.." Manny cutted in, laughing.

"You said 'be rude'!" The said turtle joined in, laughing.

"Alright, you got me." He put his hands in the air, surrendering.

"First, you are here, because i need to tell you something."

"Obviously." Leo rolled his eyes, chuckling again.

"No, i'm serious. I need to tell you secrets about Guardians that the Guardians don't even know."

Awkward silence filled the room.

"Wait, what?"

"You're wondering why Pitch's nightmare sand turns blue right?"

That hit the blue clad turtle right in the spot.

How did he-?

"Y-yeah.." Leo answered nervously, rubbing the back of his neck.

"It's because you're the opposite of him." Manny explained.

But unfortunately Leo was having difficulties to catch up on what he was saying.

"What do you mean? Opposite?"

Manny leaned closer to him before whispering something.

Words that carried away by a sudden wind before anyone could else hear them. Words that was only ment for Leonardo.

"...but.. that doesn't make sense.." Leo protested, he still can't believe what he was listening.

"Think about it. Why do you think i choose you to be a Guardian?"

"I.. i don't know!" The blue clad turtle suddenly raised his voice, fear was written on his face as the room's temperature suddenly drops.

"All i know was i'm DEAD! Yeah, i died for saving my brothers, but now i.." he trailed off, water suddenly pricks his eyes.

He raised his palm to wipe away the tears that's threathening to fall.

"You what?" Manny urged, his eyes were sharp and collective. The glow surrounding him seemed to grow bigger.

"I.. i feel awful.. for leaving my brothers..."

That's it.

Tears fell down from his glassy blue eyes as he sobbed miserably, trying desperately to wipe away the tears to no avail.

"Everytime.. when Jack's not with me.. i would.. i would visit them, checking how they are doing.. But.. they changed. Mikey no longer smiles, Donnie no longer comes out from his room, and Raph...." He trailed off again, not trusting his wavering voice to continue.

Leo was disgusted by the fact of how weak he was right now.

A sudden pale strong hands wrapped around him, hugging his shuddering body.

The blue clad turtle shivered at the contact with someone else after years. He couldn't help but hugs him back, crying as Manny pats his shoulder gently.

Like how Splinter would do.

"I know it's hard.." The white haired man in moon started, rubbing his head gently.

"Why? Why did you bring me back, why?!" Leo croaked out, cutting him off.

He couldn't understand why anyone needs him. He's done. It's painfull enough when he has to leave his brothers, so why make it more by making him invisible to them?

Silence once again hung in the air as he cries, Manny still patting his shoulder.

"....Because i saw how people needs you.." The man in moon finally spoke up, eyes looking directly at his eyes.

The blue clad turtle wipes his tears away.

"....would my brothers.. see me? If i became a Guardian, would they..?" He was so full of hope, and Manny felt awful when he uttered three words.

"..i don't know."

Leo sighed, looking down at his feet.

"But you have to believe." He quickly continues, smile bloomed on his face.

The blue clad turtle stared at him for a little while before smiling back.

Hope swells in his chest and Manny couldn't help but feel proud of him.

"So... What do i do now..?" Leo asked questioningly, looking at his surroundings.

Manny offered him one last smile.

"You wake up."
