The Voice of Angels P3

Everyone wakes up the next day, Donnie gave Mikey the blood transfusion he needed, which meant Leo was going to end up feeling a bit tiered for the rest of the day. The family new they had to find a new lair, because they were no longer safe but had to wait till Mikey was strong enough to move, which wouldn't be for a while.

"Donatello, there must be a way that we can move Michelangelo without cursing further harm." Master Splinter asked his son, with worry on his eyes.

"Well…as long as Mikey stays on something soft and isn't moved around too much, he should be fine." Donnie said with a frown, not really wanting to move Mikey yet.

"Why don' ya pu' 'im on a mattress and carry 'im on the mattress?" Casey asked with a shrug.

"Yes! That just might work! Raph you and Casey carefully move Mikey from the pillows to the Mattress without moving him around too much." Donnie explained, finally Raph had an excuse to be with Mikey, instead of everyone trying to keep him active so he won't stay by Mikey's side every minute of every day until he wakes up.

Raph and Casey go upstairs and enter Mikey's room, carefully lifting him into the air and gently placing him back down onto his mattress, once they did this Raph sat next to Mikey just looking at his sleeping form, holding onto his hand softly, gently rubbing his thumb on the back of Mikey's hand.

"Ya really do love 'im, dontcha Raph?" Casey asked softly looking at his friend with sympathy.

"More than life itself, I'd do anythin' ta change wha' happened yesterday." Raph said quietly, not taking his eyes off Mikey. Casey placed a reassuring hand on Raph's shoulder.

"Wha' ya said abou' spendin' tha rest of ya life tagether last nigh' was a very swee' and brave thin' ya did Raph." Casey said with a proud smile on his face, Raph finally made eye contact at this point.

"I mean' it ya know…I wanna spend the rest of my life with 'im, 'cause my life would be empty withou' 'im." Raph explained with sad eyes. "Casey…I gotta tell ya somthin', but ya can' tell anyone." Raph said nervously.

"Ya can tell me anythin' Raph." Casey said simply, Raph took a deep calming breath.

"I'm gunna ask for Master Splinter's blessin' ta ask Mike ta marry me." Raph explained, Casey smiled and embraced Raph with one arm.

"I'm proud of ya Raph, marriage is a big step in a relationship, and I just know ya gunna ge' tha' blessin'." Casey smiled at his blushing friend. "I'll go tell Don tha' Mike's on da mattress and ready ta be moved." Casey said as he patted Raph on the shoulder and left the room.

Mikey starts to steer and grown a little, his eyelids start to flutter open before making slow unsteady contact with Raph's golden eyes, and smiled a small and weak smile. "Raphie." Mikey said in a weak, raspy voice feeling very tiered and low on energy. Raph smiles like his the happiest turtle alive.

"Mikey!" Raph yells as he hugs Mikey gently, he pulls away and shouts. "Guys! Mikey's awake!" And kisses Mikey on the forehead, pretty soon everyone was in the room and Donnie was quickly at his side checking him over.

"Michelangelo, you gave use all quite the scare, but I am glade that you are awake and recovering. Once you are ready my son I'd like you to tell us all what happened." Master Splinter said with a smile, Mikey nods.

"Mikey has made one shell of a remarkable recovery, he might be ready to start simple movement sooner than I thought." Donnie explained with a smile, but was curious to know why he is recovering so quickly.

Mikey looked at Master Splinter. "I c-can…tell you w-what h-h-happened…o-or I can show y-you." Mikey stated simply.

"Show me please my son." Master Splinter requested. Mikey moved the arm that was closest to the wall and placed his hand on it, his eyes turning entirely white and shone as the whole wall became…a TV I guess you could put it, and they all watched what happened to Mikey.

"I guess you're kinda cute…for a little squirt." Mikey said softly as he hugs her back. "Come on squirt, you can sit with me for a bit." Mikey walked over to the couch and sat down. He tries to get her off but she starts to sniffle and starts making little beginning cries.

"What is it? You're acting like a panda hanging on a tree for dear life because its mum wants it to take a bath, but what he doesn't realise is, he's mum's been climbing trees for years." Mikey said laughing lightly, and Angel laughed too not understanding Mikey but laughed because he laughed and pulled away with a small toothless smile on her face. About five minutes later Mikey turns the TV off and looks at the lairs entrance, then his eyes widen. "Someone's coming." Mikey whispers, quickly running upstairs into his room, raps Angel in a bundle of blankets, removes the wall and places her in the hole placing soothing behind her so she wouldn't roll down it, closing the wall back up. Then runs back down stairs, bundles two cabbages into a blanket covering them up completely and put it in the baby's cot that was still in the front room, and sat down on the sofa pretending to be asleep, to play the part as he would have put it.

The Foot ninja forced open the lairs doors, and then it started, ten of Shredder's strongest Foot solders against one ninja turtle, and even though the chances of making it out of this one was slim, Mikey didn't show the slightest bit of fear, he showed worry because he didn't want them to find Angel, but most of all he showed determination to win.

The fight began, and it was the fight of Mikey's life, he grabbed two and smashed their heads together knocking them out cold, he used a kunai and stabbed one of them, but not in a vital spot. That wasn't because Mikey was afraid to kill, he just couldn't, he'd do anything to avoid killing people. He spun around knocking out three at once with his nunchucks, but the last four put up a bigger fight, two of them were swinging at Mikey, and he did everything to try and avoid getting hit, but it just wasn't working, he was badly hurt as it is. The thread Foot ninja used his katana and stabbed Mikey when he was vulnerable, Mikey let out a painful scream as the deeply impaled sward was quickly extracted, and the forth used his bow and arrow, pulled back on the string putting a lot of pressure behind the deadly weapon, and then he lets go of the power behind the weapon, and it dives into Mikey very deep, dangerous wound, and if it wasn't for Mikey's cry, they would have heard Mikey's green flesh rip open even more.

The two Foot ninja that kept Mikey busy grabbed the baby shaped blankets and left with the Foot ninja that posseted the arrows following closely behind, the remaining Foot ninja crouched down to where Mikey now laid on the floor, and grabbed hold of the arrow. "I wish I could stay and watch as your family and friends come home to find you have failed them, but I'd like to leave here today knowing you'll never get to tell the tale, of how you risked your life for her. Goodbye freak." And with that he pulled the arrow out and throw it aside and left the lair with an evil grin on his face, as he looks back at Mikey trying to stop the bleeding but couldn't, and leaves feeling satisfied.

Mikey takes his mask off and puts it into his hand making it a bull sort of shape and puts pressure on the left side of his body, his hands shaking from shock, pain and blood loss. His eyes get droopy, and his body feeling week and numb. "Must…ch-check on…Angel." Mikey said painting and with all the body strength he can master, pushes himself off the floor and grabs the stair railing, once he final gets up the stair he collapses onto his knees but he strives on pushing himself back onto his feet, forcing himself to keep going when he's almost got nothing left. He manages to get into his room, he turns him back against the wall, the moment he did his legs gave way, he's on the floor, legs stretched out, the lid of his shell, elbows and head on the wall, and his body shaking violently and his breathing gets faster. He had no strength left in him, his eyes half closed, his vision going blurred, and all he wants to do is sleep. "Mustn't fall asleep…mustn't fall asleep." Mikey kept repeating out loud.

Mikey's hand slips away from the wall slowly as it hit his mattress with a silent thud, and he's eyes close as his head drops two the side.
