Not sure how this is going to evolve. :3
The area was damp. Moisture was dripping down the walls and a dense feelings was around the room. Shackles were attached to the walls of the small cell. An isolated cell with walls made out of steel. A high-secured door was in the middle of one of the walls. A small door at the bottom of the door to provide foot and one at the top to look through.
A single lamp bulb hang above the room, giving a tiny bit of light to the dark room. 8 shackles were attached to the walls. One shackle for one wrist. 4 creatures in total. The chains were long enough to move around but they stopped them from escaping once the door was unlocked.
3 of the four creatures were awake already. The last one was still out cold. His head on the lab of the oldest.
"Is he going to be okay?" Mikey whispered, sobbing slightly. From the other side of the small cage came a short sigh. Leo looked up for a bit and glanced over to his youngest brother. Raph was leaning against the wall. Arms over each other. Two shackles around his wrists.
"He will be. He got hit with 2 darts instead of 1" Leo explained and trailed downwards again. His fingers trailed along the sleeping form of his genius brother. There were 2 injection marks. One on his arm and one in his neck.
They were on a normal patrol when these dark figures came out and stopped them. The creatures stayed hidden in the shadows. Never showing their faces. Only 2 red dots were seen. When the first dart came flying Donnie was immediately hit. The effect of the dart immediately kicking in.
As soon as Donnie collapsed the hell broke loose. Darts were fired everywhere. Left and right. But the creatures stayed hidden.
Mikey was still staring at his fallen brother. Too shocked to see the incoming dart. He would've gotten hit if it wasn't for Donnie. A second dart found his way into Donnie's body and he fell unconscious. His sacrifice was in vain however. Seconds after that Mikey was hit too. Slowly the drug spread among his body too. First his legs, then the rest of his body and eventually his consciousness.
Leo and Raph were harder to hit, determined to save their younger siblings. But also their attempts were in vain. It took them 7 minutes and a lot of darts but eventually Leo and Raph were hit too. Once they regained consciousness they were in this cell. However Donnie was still out cold.
"You said that hours ago" Mikey whined and rubbed his wrists. The shackles digging deep into his wrists. Raph growled loudly from the side which earned him a whimper from Mikey.
"Will ya shut up? Don will be okay." Raph growled and jumped to his feet. "let's just focus on breakin' free" Dragging the heavy chains along with him he walked over to the door and raised his fist. With a loud battle cry he landed his first hand onto the steel door. A loud echoing sound flowed through the halls behind
Even before he could land another mindless attack on the door it opened and a dark figure entered the room. He had the same red eyes as the creatures that fired the darts. Out of the shadows you could see it was some kind of long slim figure, wearing a cloak. It seemed humanoid but at the same time he didn't.
"You!" Raph growled, angry for bringing them here and charged in onto the dark figure. He kicked the figure hard in the stomach and forced him outside the cell again. It landed hard on the cold floor and started growling too. Raph wanted to charge unto him again but was stopped by the shackles around his wrists. The figure swiftly stood up and reached into his pocket.
A small device with a few buttons on it was shown. The figure growled. "You fool" The figure spoke and pushed one of the buttons. Immediately the chains jerked onto Raph's wrists and he was forced backwards. The chains shortened until Raph's wrists were against the wall again. But right now the long chains were gone, disappeared into the wall.
Raph grunted. Having hit his head when he was jerked back. It was then he realized all of his brothers were in the same situation as him. Unable to move. His trailed towards Donnie. The sudden movement caused him to wake up and he looked around disorientated.
"What happened?" He cracked and blinked a few times. The first thing he noticed was a dark figure in a cloak approaching them. His red eyes were furious and he could just see him putting away some kind of device.
"Welcome back to the living buddy" Mikey grimaced and glanced over to Donnie. He cracked a small smile to assure him.
"Interesting creatures you are indeed" The dark figure spoke and walked over to Raph and placed his hands next to Raph's head. "I'm going to enjoy cracking you" He grinned and moved his hands towards Raph's plastron. Raph's plastron began to glow neon blue and the hands disappeared inside his stomach. Raph's eyes fell back into his head and replaced them with the same red eyes as the figure.
"What are you doing?! Stop!" Leo pleaded and pulled against his bindings. The figure wasn't responding and a few seconds after that the hands appeared on Raph's plastron again. Raph began to couch violently and his normal green eyes returned.
"Interesting. The fear of fear itself" he grinned and snapped his fingers. Immediately a duplicate appeared next to him and unshackled Raph's wrists.
"Where are you taking him?!" Donnie cried as Raph was dragged outside the cell by the duplicate. Panting and heaving from the process. His energy drained. The dark figure didn't even listen to Leo or Donie's pleadings and went towards Donnie and repeated the same process. Donnie's brown eyes rolled into the back of his head and red ones replaced them. Seconds later the dark figure released Donnie too.
"Very interesting this one. The fear of losing control. Very interesting indeed" He laughed and duplicated himself again.
"Donnie!" Mikey cried out when the duplicate dragged Donnie out too. Only Mikey and Leo were left now. Mikey was shivering heavily from the fear and watched in horror as the figure approached him too. "D-Don't touch me" He cried out and struggled against his bindings. Mikey whimpered slightly when the hands were placed on his plastron too.
Seconds later the figure was done and stood in front of Mikey. Thinking for a second. "My my, this is a hard one indeed. But I have the perfect solution. Fear of being rejection, by humans to be exact. Very interesting." The figure chuckled and the third duplicate appeared next to him and dragged Mikey away too.
"Don't touch them! Please don't harm them, take me instead" Leo cried out and struggled as hard as he could against the bindings. Blood was beginning to seep from under his bindings but he didn't care. He glanced over to the dark figure. He better not hurt his brothers. The figure turned towards Leo and growled lowly. Trying to scare him. Leo cowered slightly but recovered himself and glanced towards the figure.
"I'm not afraid" Leo spat out. The figure just laughed and placed his hands on Leo's plastron. The next thing he knew was being in a giant place. Wind was raging around him. White smoke was all around him. Memories were flashing around him. Figures of his brothers. His fights with the footbots. The memories of Karai. His first karate lesson. The accident through which Raph lost a piece of his plastron.
Mikey's nightmares and Donnie's inventions. Their lair. Memories of the Kraang. Everything was exposed. All his memories, all of his thoughts. All his fears, exposed.
The next moment he was back again. Panting, trying to catch his breath. "I know exactly how to break you" The figure laughed and stepped back. Apart from the last 3 times he didn't duplicate himself.
"What are you going to do? What do you mean with breaking me?" Leo panted and glanced over to the figure. He wasn't scared for him. He was scared for his brothers. Who knows what they will do to them.
"How rude of me. I'm Nighwatch." He introduced himself.
"What are you going to do with my…." Before he could finish Nighwatch had placed his cold hand on Leo's mouth.
"I wasn't done yet" He grimaced. "I'm Nighwatch. I am known for... .well braking creatures. And my my some creature you are. I can read everyone's fears and I will use that to break each one of you, including you"
"You will never brake me. I'm not afraid" Leo growled dangerously. Nighwatch wasn't even impressed by Leo's act and just walked towards the door. Just before he reached the door he turned around.
"Yes you are. I'll break each one of you. And the most beautiful part is, you are going to do that. The fear of failing your brothers wasn't it? I'm going enjoy seeing your team fall apart. Hurting and destroying each other. Have a nice day" Nighwatch laughed and closed the door. Just when the door closed and was locked again the chains gave in and Leo was freed.
He sank down to his knees and buried his head into his knees. It was true. He was afraid. Afraid of failing the team. And that was exactly what that Nighwatch was going to do. Make him fail the team. He was going to hurt them, break them. And there was nothing he could do. The moment they were captured he had already failed them.
And he was terrified by the horrific things Nighwatch was planning on them.
What do you think?
