Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Chapter 4

As soon as Mikey stepped foot inside of the lair, Leo was right in his face about with a lecture.

"Mikey where have you been? Do you know what time it is? What if something had happened while you were away? And not to mention you missed training. What were you thinking? Huh."

"Dude take a chill pill. I was just roaming the sewers. Ok" he heard a scoff behind him. Which he knew was Raph.

"Chill? You can't tell me to chill when you've been gone for hours without your T-phone and not even telling anybody. Do you really expect me to 'chill'?" Leo barked. Raph was leaned against the wall watching the 'show' that was taking place in front of him.

"Look Leo, I just lost track of time. That's all. I was running when I tripped and hit my head. I must have laid there longer than I thought" Mikey replied while holding up his hands up in mock surrender.

Leo was about to open his mouth but Donnie beat him to it. "You said you hit your head right?"

Mikey nodded. Donnie made a motion for him to follow, and Mikey followed, leaving a steaming hot Leo and a smiling Raph behind.

Mikey entered the lad. Shifting through papers and mugs before he sat down on the swirling chair.

"Are you having any symptoms?"

"…Nope"

"Headache?"

"Nada"

"Well then, you seem healthy. You don't have any head injuries. So you seem fine" Mikey sighed as Donnie finished his analysis. He watched as Donnie turned down the heat on the mutagen he was working on.

Mikey stared at him. Donnie had bags under his eyes and looked like he hadn't slept in days, which he probably hadn't. Mikey wore a look that said I have something important to say but I don't know if I should. Donnie noticed and stared right back. Soon a staring contest broke out.

Donnie was the one to break away and ask "Is there something on your mind?"

Mikey opened his mouth and closed it. This was repeated over and over 7 times.

"You do know you were born with the ability to speak, right" Mikey chuckled along with Donnie.

"So what's really on your mind?" Donnie asked.

"Um, well, it's, uh, Leo!" he stammered. Donnie raised an eyebrow. Mikey could see disbelief itched on his face.

"Leo, huh" Donnie moved a stack of papers and leaned his elbow on the table. He gave Mikey the look. It was the look that said 'if you don't tell me I'll force it out of you'.

"Well if you insist" Donnie rolled his eyes. "Well when I was in the tunnels tripped and hit my head, like you know. But then-"

"Then what?"

"Well then I could-" Mikey never finished because a loud shout came from the den.

"Donnie, Mikey, come on it's time for patrol!" came Raph's booming voice.

"Coming" Mikey let out a long sigh. Donnie noticed and put his hand on his shoulder, before getting up and heading out. Once he was gone Mikey sat there all by himself thinking. Why should he tell his brothers? It would just make things harder. Leo would have more things to lecture him about, and say how "if he focused more" he would do better.

Raph would probably say things like 'you better not prank me or I'll beat the green off of ya' or something along those lines.

But he didn't know about Donnie, he seemed like the most trustable. But he just couldn't trust him. No matter how many times he told himself he should.

Mikey was brought out of his though when he heard his name.

"Coming!" he shouted. He sucked in air and let it out. The fire that was under the mutagen flickered, like a soft gust of wind had blown through the place.

"Mikey!"

"I'm coming. I'm coming!" he shouted back.

He hopped up from the chair and made his way towards the door. He entered the den to see that his brothers were already at the turnstile and looking impatient.

"'bout time. What took ya so long?" Mikey shrugged. He took a glance towards Donnie, he meet his eyes for a second before they both turned away. Raph looked between the two and then took a glance at Leo.

Deciding to break the silence Raph said "So we going or not, cause those bad guys heads aren't gonna bash themselves."

Mikey smiled at Raph's attempt to lighten the mood. "So Re we going or what" Mikey asked.

Everyone nodded. Mikey jumped on the turnstile and ran across it. When it finally opened the boys made their way silently to the top. They moved along the shadows and to the 7 stories building in front of them. They quickly made their way up the fire escape and to the top. Donnie glanced at Mikey only to see that he had stopped. Mikey was crouched over and holding his hand over his heart.

Donnie halted in his steps and turned back. Leo notices the lack of his younger brothers and also stopped.

"What're we stoppin' for?" asked Raph. He's been waiting for this for forever, and he didn't want it to be set back by some stupid interruption, mainly Mikey. He turned to see Donnie crouched next to Mikey who was holding his hand over his heart and had a look of immense pain.

"Miley, Mikey what's wrong?" Donnie's voice was laced with worry. Miley shuck his head as to dismiss the question. But Donnie wasn't going down without a fight. He never did when it came to someone close to him got hurt. Last time Leo got hurt and hid it, Donnie practical went ballistic.

"Mikey" the aforementioned boy flinched at the tone Donnie said his name in "what. Is. Wrong?"

Miley looked up to see his brothers concerned faces. Leo looked like he was ready to blame himself any minute now, like he always did when something went wrong. Raph looked annoyed, but if you look closely you could see he was also worried.

Miley then realized that he hadn't given an answer. He gave a slight smile at their protectiveness. "It's just some-" Mikey didn't finish because a ninja star was thrown his way, missing him slightly, only cutting his right arm.

Mikey's breath hitched in his throat making him cough a little.

"Well, well, well look at what we have here" came a voice they knew all too well. The boys looked up to a dozen foot bots and leading them was Razhar, Fish Face, and Tiger Claw.

"Damn" Raph muttered as he twirled his Sai's and stood protectively in front of Mikey. Leo also took stance and unscathed his blades.

"Well it ant the walking sushi and his little posy" mocked Raph. This angered fish face even more. "What? Are ya steaming" he continued. This earned him a chuckle from Mikey, but it some turned into pain. Immense pain. Razhar seem to have noticed and smirked. This meant the brat was going to be easy pickings.

"I wouldn't be so sure of yourself green boy. Or what happen 3 months ago might repeat itself" Fish Face warned. The smile and any sign of mockery was washed off his brothers faces instantaneously, you would have thought it wasn't there in the first place.

Miley remembered what had happened, it haunted his nightmares sometimes. He was brought out of his thoughts when Raph made a loud shout and charged head first, like he usually did, into battle. And so the fight had begun.

Raph charge into Fish Face with the intent to kill. He throw a punch which Fish Face blocked. He grabbed Raph's arm and swung him around once before hitting him go, causing him to crash into a ventilation shaft. Raph groaned from the impact but didn't have time to recover before he felt metal connect with his jaw, sending him flying to the other side of the roof.

"Ha, so how's the new body working out for wa?" snickered Fish Face, this only seem to fuel the fire even more. With a shout Raph sprung up from the ground and charge at FF. He hadn't expected this so he was caught off guard. He was sent flying into the air when Raph sent him a flying kick. He skidded to a stop, but didn't recover before Raph threw him a food punch to the face, then another and another. He was about to go for another when a foot bot came and kicked him in the side. He let out a painful hiss of agony before getting to his feet and resuming the fight.

"Raph!" Leo shouted. His adversary was Tiger Claw. Tiger Claw took Leo's moment of distraction to send a punch strait to his face. But Leo managed to dodge at the last minute. Leo used the back of his sword to hit TC up the head, then proceeding to send a kick to his face. But TC anticipated that and caught hi leg.

"Now what can you do green boy?" Leo smirked. "Way more than you" he twisted his right leg, since TC was holding his left, and sent a kick to the head. Once he was out, he sent an upper kick to his jaw. He could he heard bones breaking, but he didn't mind. TC stumbled back while holding his jaw. He growled when he noticed the smirk that was making its way to Leo's face.

"You've think you won, turtle" snarled TC, the smirk on Leo's face seemed to have widened. "Why think when I know we can, I mean we've done it before, why can't we do it again?" this seemed to have pushed TC off the edge. The next thing Leos knows is that he's blocking bullets with his swords.

"Damn" Leo cursed, he knew the meal chalked began now.

Over in the other side of the building, Donnie wasn't having mush luck either. He took down foot after foot but they kept coming like Mikey's obsession over pizza. For the life of him, he had no idea how his baby brother could pack away so much food and never gain wait.

Donnie swung his staff low and caught the 3 foot bots in front of him off guard, but hey quickly regained their balance and made an attack for Donnie. Donnie twirled his staff and whacked them in the head, sending the over the edge of the roof. Which had to hurt, seeing that this was a 10 story building.

But his happiness was short lived when his was surrounded by a dozen more foot bots.

"When will it end!" Don said to no one but himself. "As long as there are desperate people in the worlds, it will never end D" shouted Mikey as he avaded a swing from Razhar's sharp blades he calls fingers.

"True, bro, true." Replied Donnie as he dabbed his blade into one of the foot's heads. Causing sparks to fly.

"So that one was a robot, huh" Donnie muttered as he sent the bot he just stabbed hurling into the rest.

"Strike!" Mikey's commented as he backfired out of Razhar's reach, but not before sending a midair kick to Razhar's chest, sending him back a few feet. Razhar growled as he lunged, claws out, and caught Mikey in his grasp. He tightened his hold, causing Mickey to let out a small huff.

"Not so tuff now are we, small fried" Razhar snickered as he tightened his hold. Miley grunted as he tried to get free. But to no avail. He was staring to lose oxygen and fast.

'Oh no what do I do? I can't use the force here. The force that's what I named it. It's after star wars. Yeah great – no snap out of it Mikester. Focus, focus. You can do this. You're the Battle Nexus Champion after all. Who rocks you do that's – ow, ow, ow, ow. Ok, ok' Mikey thought as Razhar tightened his grip even more. Miley knew he was losing time because he was starting to hallucinate.

Miley closed his eyes tight. 'Ok Mikester, just small breaths, small breaths' Mikey thought. In Razhar's grip Mikey's body began to heat up. Razhar let out a painful yell and threw Mickey over the edge of the building.

The last thing Miley heard was someone yelling his name before he was meat with the cold hard ground.
