A/N: Taking a break from "The I in Team" to bring you this turtle ficcy. Sorry saw Turtles Forever on Saturday and I got tons of idea for stories and this is the first one that came to mind. It's Donatello centric because he's so much fun to toucher. Warnings are language, violence, shootings and blood. Takes place in the 03verse.

The Big Bang:

By: LOSTrocker

Chapter One: Humming Bird:

Donnie was in the woods. He was examining the new breed of species that had sprung up since last Spring. He had his digital camera with him so he could take pictures of his findings and a small notebook so he could mark down his own scientific figurations and correct them later if he was wrong.

Right now, Donnie had his eyes on a small blue humming bird.

Donatello laughed to himself. "You remind me of brother. He's blue too... Well, his color is anyway."

The humming bird seemed to smile at his gazer. He let Donatello get a snap shot of him before taking off.

A few feet away Sid Jones was goofing off with his shot gun. He saw some movement not too far from him and decided to aim and fire. His mom would be thrilled if he brought home some deer meat for dinner. However, it wasn't a deer he got. It was a turtle.

Donnie heard it of course. Hearing gun shots was normal this time of year around here but he didn't feel it. He didn't feel it until he move and all he was able to take was one step before everything faded to black and he hit the ground with a hard thud. The camera went down with him.

"I wonder how many points it'll have?" Sid questioned as he followed the sound of his fallen game. "If it's a good number, I'll keep the head and add it to the wall."

Sid went to turn but when he did he tripped over something. "Dammit," he cursed. When he got up he was shocked at what he found. It was one of the turtles. He wondered why one of them was so far out here just lying around. Sid checked the color. It was purple. "Donnie?" he asked.

Donnie wasn't moving. Sid tried shaking him. He got nothing or at least he thought. He brought back his hands and thats when he saw the blood. "Oh man! Oh man!" he cried out. Sid looked over Donnie and found the bullet hole deep on his right side.

Sid tried again. "C'mon Don! Wake up!" he continued.

Sid was starting to panic. If the turtles found out that he was the reason why Donnie was out he was done for. He wasn't on good terms with the turtles as it was. Sid was in such a nervous state that he didn't know what to do. He did what he normally did in situations like these: he ran back home.

It was growing later and later into the afternoon and Leo was starting to worry about Donnie. He hadn't come back yet and Don wasn't one to be late. He went to the barn where Raph was. He was having his fun with the punching bag. "Hey Raph,"

Leo's presence didn't bother Raph's concentration at all. He was use to ignoring Leonardo. "What?" he demanded. "Can't you see I'm busy?"

"I was just wondering... you haven't seen Don have you?" Leo asked him.

That's when Raph stopped. They all knew where Don was. He was in the woods. Raph was normally the first to see him because the front and back door of the barn (when opened) were perfect view points of the woods that surrounded them. "Nah, I haven't. Why?"

"He's not out this late." Leo noted.

Raph shrugged. "You know how Don gets out there," Raph said. "I wouldn't worry about it. He's like Mikey in a pizza place when he's in the woods."

"I know," Leo replied. "I just have a bad feeling that's all."

"You and your weird feelings," Raph retorted with a laugh.

Leo sighed. He didn't like it when he couldn't see one of his brothers. It meant he couldn't protect them. Raph pushed the punching bag back into it's place and went over to Leo. He put a comforting hand on his brother's shoulder. He knew how Leo got at times like these and as much as it annoyed the shell out of him it was nice to know that if anyone gave a damn about them it was him. "If you're so worried about him Leo try the shell cell."

Leo pulled the shell cell out and tried giving Don a ring. A few minutes past. "Anything yet?" Raph asked him.

"No," Leo answered. "I just got his voice mail." Leo lifted it away from him so Raph could hear it too:

"This is Donatello, leave your name and number and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible."

Now, it wasn't just Leo who was starting to worry. Raph looked at Leo. "This isn't good." Don never ignored his brothers. Never.

Leo and Raph went back into the house. Mikey just pulled out a fresh pizza. "Dudes, you're just in time." he showed him his recent master piece. "YO APRIL CASEY FOOD IS READY!"

April and Casey came down from upstairs. They were a mess. The two were trying to do some fixtures on the house, along with cleaning out the attic so they were covered in dust and cobwebs. By the way they looked, it was as if the house was winning this battle. Mikey burst out laughing. "Man, where's Don camera?"

"I'll show ya where it is!" Casey went to go give Mikey one good shell kicking. He was tired after working all morning and wasn't in the mode for Mikey right now.

Leo stepped between them bringing Casey to a halt. "It's with Donnie whose not back yet." he answered Mikey's original question.

April looked at the clock on the wall. Donnie was normally back by now. "Odd,"

"I know, and we tried contacting him on the shell cell but got nothing." Leo shared with them.

April could see how worried Leo was and made a suggestion: "Maybe he just got carried away. How about we go look for him?"

"That's a good idea April." Leo agreed.

"We can split into teams." April continued. "Raph and Casey can go North-"

"That's that way Casey," Mikey demonstrated with a pointed finger.

Casey was about to use Mikey as a punching bag. "C'mon Case, we'll kill him later." Raph dragged him out the door.

"Leo you can come with me." April said.

"What about me?" Mikey questioned with his infamous puppy dog eyes.

"Someone needs to stay here just in case Don comes back." April told him. "If he does you can call someone on the shell cell."

"Lets go April before we start losing daylight." Leo ordered and April followed him out the door.

Mikey was left alone. He flopped himself down at the table. He didn't like to be the odd ball out. Then the pizza got his attention. He grinned. "More for me then!" Mikey went to take a good nibble out of a slice but with the thought of Don's unknown were abouts... He suddenly wasn't hungry anymore. Mikey pushed himself away from the table and went to wait by the door for Donatello.
