"Everyone clear on the plan?" Leo asked. Everyone nodded. "Mikey are you sure?"
Mikey thought for a minute. "Uh.. might wanna run it by me one more time." He smiled. The others rolled their eyes.
"You and I are makeing sure the Kranng don't get to Donnie. Donnie's hacking their computor and Raph is checking the cages, and dealing with any thing they have in them." Mikey nodded. They entered the old ware house quietly. Splitting up once inside. Luckily there weren't many Kraang there. Raph took out the one droid that was by the cages. He grumbled to himself, nowing though it was a good thing that there weren't any expariments so far, it was boring to him. He was about to go see if the others needed help when something caught his eye. It was a small detail that most would just ignore. A very sutle diffrence from all the other cages along the wall. It was a tag. He took it in his hand and read it.
"Specimin T-H-R-O. Age: Three days. Gender: Female" Other than that there was no more information. Raph got down on his knees and peered into the cage. He saw two bowls, one with water and one with what he assumed was food. The cage went far back. He catiously opened the door.A cry came from the farthest corner of the cage. He reached in, but yanked his hand back when he felt the sting of sharp claws. He grunted. Pulling out a flashlight he shined the light on whatever creature was lurking in the shadows. But instead of finding some gruesome beast or freaky expariment he found what seemed to be a humanoid tiger cub. He frowned thinking of another mutant tiger he was not to found of. But this one was much smaller. Just a cub. Being only three days old that should have been expected.
The cub wimpered as if in fear. Raph raised an eye ridge. This was a mutant expariment of the Kraang. It should be a vicious monster. Shouldn't it? "N-no hurt." It whimpered. Raph' jaw gaped a bit. It talked. How did this thing learn to speak!?
I took a deep breath and spoke." I won't hurt you. Just come here." The cub catiously got up, hobling on twolegs but ultimaly droping down to four. When it came closer Raph noticed the wings on its back. It looked up at him with big scared eyes. The cub's eyes greatly resembled his own, with the cat like flare to it. He couldn't put his finger on why, but Raphael felt the urge to protect this lityle cub. It was much like his urge to protect his family, just as, or possibly even stronger. He sighed. "Leo is so gonna kill me." He scooped the cub up in his arms and stood. At that minute his three brothers raced past him, kraang droids in hot pursuit. Leo yelled back to him.
"Come on Raph we have the stuff we came here for. Hurry up!"
Raph raced after them, quickly catching up. He knew what the repricusions for taking this mutant would be. They didn't want any being brought home, so they chose Raph to inspect the cages. He groaned inwardly. 'Great. I did what Mikey would do.' When they stoped after making sure the Kraaang weren't following them any more Leo looked over to Raph. Instantly spying the small cub craddled in his arms.
"Raph! What the shell were you thinking?!" He yelled.
Raph glared at him. "Well I couldn't just leave her there!" He retorted.
" And what were you planning on doing with it?" Leo questioned.
" I don't know ok! I just. I felt like I had to proteect her ok!"
Donnie sighed. "Well we can't take it back. Let's check for a tracker and see what Master Splinter has to say." He took the cub from Raph and began to scan her.
"So you're saying we should take it home? Why?" Leo asked him.
Donnie shrugged. "Its really o ly logicall. Can't take it back. Only other optionss are leaving it out here somewhere, or brining it back to the Lair. And number three is the best option." His scanner beeped. "No tracker. We'ree good to go."
Mikey folded his arms. "Oh so when I bring home giant mutant aligators or accidently murate a cat its wrong but when Raph takes a muttant from a kraang lab its ok?"
Raph rolled his eyes. "Yes."
Mikey stamped his foot. "How is it any diffrent!"
"Cause its not you."
Leo groaned. "Fine. But we only keep it until Masteer Splinter says other wise." He sighed, noticing Raph had already opened the manhole. He jumped down after his brothers. "We are in such trouble." He told himself.
