Donatello glared at his computer as he typed in code after code but nothing seemed to add up right. He was no closer to finding the answer then he was when he started almost three months ago. But he wasn't going to give up. There was no way he was going to give up on finding him.
Had it really only been a couple months since it happened? Had it only been a couple of months since the last they saw him? Was he still alive? Did they hurt him? How come he was the one pulled into Dimension X and not any of the others? He banged on his keyboard in frustration.
The smell of pizza from a recently opened box made him sad.
***
Leonardo opened another pizza box with a sigh. It wasn't the same as the pizzas his brother made. He missed his brother's happy go lucky personality. He missed smelling the strange pizza as it came out of the oven. His brother was very innovative when it came to pizza toppings and they almost always ended up good. They didn't even try to make pizzas anymore. It just wouldn't be the same.
Some leader he was. He had lost his brother. They hadn't seen or heard from Shredder since the day the Technodome went back into Dimension X. They now fought hoodlums, and muggers on the street instead of Foot Soldiers. Every day he asked Donatello if he had found anything, and every day it was the same answer, no.
He wished they could enter Dimension X and find him. But Don said the dimension had closed when the Technodome went in. He could hear one brother banging on keyboards and another punching a punching bag. He sighed. He wished he had something to vent his frustration on.
***
Raphael punched the bag. Anything to make the anger, frustration, and pain go away. He wished he could punch a Foot Soldier or Shredder.
He had been the first one to notice Michelangelo was missing. He still remembered that day so well.
He had hit the ground. He wasn't even sure how he got out of there. He turned around in time to see the Technodome disappear. They had all been so happy. Shredder was gone. He turned around to high five his youngest brother but he wasn't there. "Hey guys. Where's Mikey?"
"He's..." Leonardo turned looking around. "Mikey?" He called. There wasn't an answer.
"Stop joking around." Raphael yelled. "Where are you?"
Nothing.
They searched and searched for him but he was nowhere to be found. They realized what most likely happened. Their brother must not have gotten out of the Technodome before it went into Dimension X. But that didn't stop them from searching. They searched that area for hours but found nothing. Now it was almost three months later and they were all beginning to feel discouraged. Raphael would kill Shredder if anything happened to Michelangelo.
Raphael let out a yell as he punched the bag one more time.
His turtlecom went off. He turned it on and saw April. "Raphael!" She whispered. "You guys have to come to Channel Six right away! We are being attacked by Foot Soldiers."
"I'll tell the others and we'll be right there April." Raphael hurried out into the main area. "Guys! Foot Soldiers are attacking Channel Six!" There was no reaction. "Did you hear me?"
Leonardo was staring at the TV. Donatello was doing the same thing.
Raphael walked over to see what was on it and froze.
A cameraman was filming the Channel Six attack and what horrified them all was what they saw.
The leader of the group was Michelangelo.
