His eyes widened as he saw Jake entering the lab, followed by the shredder.
"It seems like you really did capture one of the turtles" Shredder spoke and Mikey flinched. This can't be good.
"Seems like I did, not the be rude or anything but what do you want with him?" Jake said while crossing his arms. The Shredder walked towards Mikey and touched his left shoulder, where he has been shot. Mikey hissed in pain.
"It's not about what I want with the turtle, it's what I want with his master" Shredder said and turned towards Jake. "Let me tell him where his lair is and you get the 3 other turtles and I get Hamato Yoshi, Do we have a deal?" Shredder continued. Mikey swallowed and looked at the shredder in horror. What were they going to do?
"I give you one day to break him, after that I want to continue with my research." Jake said stubborn and crossed his arm. Shredder growled a bit and walked towards Jake and picked him up at his throat. "Let me reform the offer, You crack him, you get the turtles and I the rat, and if you refuse I will burn this place with you and the turtle. So do we have a deal?" The Shredder said threatening. Jake nodded terrified and he was thrown to the ground. Shredder turned around and walked towards Mikey. He flinched in horror while Shredder came dangerously close to his face.
"You better start talking immediately if you're smart, turtle" He said and raised his hand and let it fall on Mikey's chest. Mikey began to scream at the sound of his own ribs being cracked and he began to breath with difficulty. After that the Shredder left. Mikey struggled and eventually he felt an oxygen mask slip onto his face.
"So, what are we going to do?" David asked then. Jake smiled evilly and simply picked up a scalpel. "We break him and get the other 3 turtles" He then walked towards Mikey and removed the oxygen mask. "are you ready to talk?" Jake asked and when Mikey shook his head he stabbed Mikey a few time in the arm. Screams filled the room and Mikey felt his blood dripping out of his arm. "Are you ready to talk now?" Jake asked again.
"N-never" Mikey responded weakly and Jake raised his scalpel once again.

"What is it Donnie?" Leo asked while walking in. Donnie stood around his table with a strange looking device on it. It had several light and it was beeping. On top of it was a display with some strange numbers. Leo walked towards Donnie, followed by Raph and Master Splinter. "What is it my son?" he said in a calm voice.
"I have a solution to the problem Sensei, what do you see on this display?" Donnie asked smiling. Raph bowed over the display and frowned.
" Nothin' but numbers, Donnie r u foolin' ma?" Raph asked curiously. "These are coordinates" Leo then answered. Donnie nodded in agreement. "So how is this going to help finding Mikey?" Leo asked then and tapped the device with his finger.
"I placed a tracker onto a building and I let this device track it and it worked! We can find Mikey now" Donnie said cheerily. Raph and Leo exchanged some stares with each other. Was Donnie going crazy or something?
"Donnie….?" Leo began hesitatively, Donnie looked up. "You do realize this tracker needs to be attached to Mikey or we can't find him?" Leo continued carefully. Donnie's smile disappeared. His eyes changed from his happy state to a depressed look and tears formed in the corners of his eyes.
"I… Leo y-you're right. I-I was so determined to find Mikey I d-didn't think straight." He stuttered and said down on his chair. Poor Donnie, he worked so hard on the device and now he realized it didn't work at all.
"It's okay Donnie, you tried" Leo tried to calm him down and rubbed his shell and hugged him tightly. "I just miss him" He then said and began to cry. Leo still trying to calm him down.
"I think I know a way to get tha stupid thin' work Donnie" Raph suddenly said and Donnie and Leo looked up confused. "" W-what do you mean Raph?" Leo asked confused.
"Well, Donnie could track someone who is bein' captured if he has a signal" Raph started. Donnie eyes widened in shock as he realized what Raph was suggesting. He wildly shook his head.
"'No way Raph, it's too dangerous" Donnie reasoned. "I can take care of ma self Donnie!" He snapped back and crossed his arms. Leo looked at his brothers confused.
"Will somebody please tell me what's going on?"" He then asks irritated. Donnie looked at Leo and he could see the panic in his eyes, what the shell is Raph planning?
"He suggest I should put a tracker on him and then he's going to get himself captured!" Don then shouted. Wait Raph is getting a tracker, he then is captured and gets to Mikey so we can track him and Mikey? Man if this wasn't going to be very tricky it would've been so smart of Raph.
"Why aren't you saying anything Leo? Tell him he's being stupid!" Donnie continued his rage. Leo blinked with his eyes a few times.
"I actually think it's a good idea…" He almost whispered. "I agree with Leonardo" Master Splinter agreed. "If Raphael wants to do this I have nothing to stop him from letting him" Raph began to smile.
"But Raph, this thing is really unpredictable. It takes 1 hour up to 24 hours to locate where the tracker is depending on the distance and place, You could be stuck there a whole day!" Donnie began to reason.
"I don't care Donnie! Mikey is already there like what? 36 hours? I think I can manage that" He shouted Angrily. Donnie looked at him in fear. "I'm sorry Don, it's just, this is a good change to find Mikey, and if it means I have to deal with being captured for 24 hours, I can handle that. As I know Mikey will be safe after that"
Donnie sighed, he knew Raph didn't mean to shout at him. "I'm not suure about tthat either Raph, They could destroy the tracker or something could go wrong. Are you willing to take that risk?" Donnie said in a calm voice and when Raph nodded he continued. "I'll prepare everything, in 6 hours it is dark and you go out and let yourself be captured, so for now get some sleep" He said and pushed Raph, Leo and Master Splinter out of the door to prepare everything for tonight. It was actually a pretty could idea Donnie admitted but it was that Raph could be in danger if he did it that troubles him. He sighed and continued to work.

Hours had passed since the shredder left and Mikey was bleeding from almost every part of his body. The straps from the table were released and he felt how two hands picked him up. He didn't try to struggle anymore. Everything hurts and the slightest movement caused him immense pain. He moaned softly but on the inside he smiled weakly. He would never betray his family, at least he could die in honor. His cell was opened and he was thrown in. Cuffs were attached to his wrists and legs and he was left alone.
He brought his knees to his chest and lay down in a fetus position. The floor was cold and his stomach began to protest. Mikey didn't know how long he has been here but the whole time he hasn't eaten or drunk anything. During his torture they would sometimes take a break to eat a pizza in front of his face but Mikey was determined not to say anything about his family. He could never betray them.
He began to shiver from the cold and he hissed in pain at the movement. He should probably look at his wound but he didn't care. If this was how he was going to die then it would be like this. Not that he wanted to die, he hoped every second his brothers would come to him and rescue him. But it didn't happen. And every time he was stabbed again or another bone in his body was broken they never came. He closed his eyes and he began to cry. His ribs flared up at the sobbing but he couldn't stop them.
He thought about the lair. He would be playing videogames right now if he wasn't kidnapped in this place. Maybe he would even be on patrol, messing another mission up. Then Leo would be furious and walked towards him to say he should be quiet, because ninja's were supposed to be quiet. Mikey began to cough and an immense pain shot through his body. He hissed in pain and clenched his teeth. Once the cough was over he shivered heavily trying to catch his breath. Every movement hurt. Every breath flared up his lungs and every shiver caused pain through his body. Please be quickly guys, please.
His fingers scraped alongside his arm and he felt his own blood staining his arm. He had no intention to look at the wounds, even if he could. He had nothing to bind it with or wash it with. If he would have his mask he could've used that, but it was taken while on the table. Mikey shivered again and blacked out

"You sure you want to do this Raph?" Donnie asked once again through his shell-cell. Everything was set. A tracker has been placed on the inside of Raph's shell and he was now standing in an alley phoning Donnie. "Imma sure Donnie" He responded. "and… And if somethin' might happen, I love ya guys" He said. "If everything works Leo and I will be there in 1 till 24 hours, and I love you too bro" Donnie responded and hung up. Raph placed his shell-cell in his belt and climbed on top of the roof to look for the man.
A few rooftops further 2 men were watching the red-banded turtle jumping from roof to roof.
"Suspect 2 is nearing, what are your orders?" One of the man said and removes the binoculars from his eyes. The other man placed his finger on his communication device and began to speak in a clear voice.
"Jake, we have suspect 2 in our vision, are we aloud to perform mission 23.70?" He spoke and waited for an answer. The other side of the line was silent for a moment. You could hear some ticking and different objects being moved. A loud beeping noise and vague voices he couldn't hear well enough to understand.
"Martin, You have permission" Jake said and disconnected the communication. Martin turned towards the other man and grinned. "Start operation 23.70" He said and jumped to another rooftop, preparing his blowpipe/gun. The other guy followed and landed on the roof where Raphael was standing and grabbed him by the shell. And when Raph felt 2 hands holding his shell he knew his bait was working. He turned around and grabbed the man and threw him on the ground and sat on top of him.
"What are ya doin'?" He said and hoped it looked a bit convenient. The man just grinned as expected and Raph placed a sais on his neck but the dart still didn't come. He bit his lip, he had to spare some time and talked about the only thing he could come up with.
"Where's ma baby brotha'?" he shouted and placed the sais closer to his neck. Man if this guy wasn't going to shoot him quickly he'd sure cut his throat. He then felt the dart flying inside his arm.
"What the…" He mumbled, the affect was stronger than last time but he quickly realized it was probably because 3 of them got away last time. He quickly felt the ability in his legs disappear and he tried, as realistic as he could, to fall sideways. He tried to raise his arms but he quickly found out they wouldn't listen to him. The other man who shot him walked towards Raphael and cuffed his hand behind his back.
He clutched his teeth, he hated being so helpless. The man stood up and got his arm and dragged him along the roof towards the stairs. Raph looked up and quickly saw a shadow disappearing behind a chimney and knew Leo saw he was taken. Raphael was dragged down the fire escape and thrown into the back of a white van. And it took off. He just laid there, without any movement and eventually the van stopped. 2 different people opened the van, they both wore white lab coats and walked towards him. One walked behind him and roughly grabbed his mouth. Raph tried to struggle but his mouth was quickly muzzled and he was led out of the van. He tried to look around to see the surrounding but soon found out he was already inside a very big kind of garage.
"Take the animal to his cage" The guy who shot him said and walked away. The man walked towards him and grabbed his mask and placed it inside a box another man was holding. Raph tried to protest but with the muzzle he wasn't able to. His arms were picked up once again and was dragged alongside the cold floor into some hallways. The man stopped and opened a door and led Raphael in. Inside was a cage but it was very dark so he couldn't see anything.
One of the man opened the cage and walked inside and Raph heard metals clicking. The 2 others dragged Raphael inside and dragged him to the left corner and rose his arms above his head and cuffed it again. He was placed on his knees and his feet were cuffed too. The man walked outside the cage and locked it.
"Have fun with your brother, animal" One of the man said before locking the other door and leaving Raph. His eyes widened at the statement. 'My brother' he thought and opened his mouth.
"Mikey?"
