TMNT

Mikey's POV

Donnie's alive! He's alive! Thank everything that's good in this world! My best friend's alive. Two Droids come, and I go to attack them, but the electrocution begins once more.

'' AH!'', I scream in pain.

'' LEAVE MIKEY ALONE!'', I hear Donnie scream in rage. I look up, as I'm being dragged somewhere, to see them dragging Donnie, who had cuffs on him, into the same place. He looks worried. I know why. He's worried about my safety. They take us to some kind of room, where Donnie is chained to the wall, and the Kraang don't release me. '' Leave him out of this!''

'' Donnie, I'm okay! Don't worry about me!'', I tell him. He looks unconvinced. Before I could respond, something hits the back of my head. I fall to the ground, and look up. The Kraang Droids that had me are beating me in front of Donnie.

'' MIKEY!'', I look over at Donnie. He couldn't reach me even if he tried. But, Donnie being Donnie, he'll try. He wants to reach me, and I know that. He wants to help me. To save me, get us out of here, and find Leo and Raph. W-where are Leo and Raph? Do they not care enough to come? Or, are they working on a plan? '' I'LL BUILD THE MACHINE, FINE! JUST GET AWAY FROM HIM!'', they did this to hurt Donnie, not me. I feel something hit me in the head once more, and start to black out. I hear Donnie yelling something, but it sounds like it's a foreign language.

Everything becomes a black blur. The last thing I remember was Donnie fighting to reach me.

Donnie's POV

After I refuse to build the Kraang portal, the Kraang chain me. They take me to some room with Mikey. I began to worry. If I refused to build the portal, I knew they'd use Mikey to get me to work on the machine. I didn't know what they would do. But, when they chained me to a wall, forcefully, I knew what was going to happen. They were going to make sure I won't be able to get to him.

The Kraang held Mikey down, and, the electricity from earlier still had him weak, so he really couldn't fight back too much. Another Droid snuck behind Mikey, with a metal pole, and, at full force, hit him with it in the head. He fell to the ground. I feel anger and desperation rise in me.

'' MIKEY!'', I yell. He looks at me, and knew I can't reach him. He knew how much I wanted to. '' I'LL BUILD THE MACHINE, FINE! JUST GET AWAY FROM HIM!'', they hit Mikey once more, and he doesn't get up. Tears form in my eyes. '' I'LL DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT, JUST, PLEASE, LEAVE HIM ALONE!'', within seconds, I had tears rolling down my cheeks. I never felt so desperate. Ever. I want to be set free from the chains, run up, hug Mikey, and let him know everything was going to be okay.

'' The turtle known as Donatello has agreed to do as Kraang wishes. Kraang, release the turtle known as Donatello and let Donatello see the one known as Michelangelo. ( This Kraang talk is getting seriously annoying. Especially when you're typing it)'', a Droid states. They unlock the chains, and I know I'm too weak myself to fight. Man, dying takes all your energy away. The Kraang must of known that, or they wouldn't of let me go. I run over to Mikey, and feel my muscles cry in pain, but that doesn't matter. All that matters is making sure Mikey was going to be okay. I kneel beside him, and sigh. Luckily, he won't have a concussion, from what I can tell, but I better wake him up. Just in case.

'' Hey, Mikey, wake up for your big brother.'', Mikey slowly opens his eyes, and looks at me. He smiles.

'' I-I thought... you were... you were...'', the smile fades, and tears form in his eyes. I wrap my arms around him, tears forming in my own eyes. '' D-dead...''

'' I know, Mikey. I thought I was, too, but I'm fine. Trust me, everything's gonna be okay.''

'' But, you could of died! Protecting me!'', Mikey argues. I realize it did nothing but hurt Mikey when I died. It must have killed him. He was left alone, weak, and with the Kraang. I couldn't let him die. I had no choice. If I had enough time, I would have got us both out of there, but didn't. I couldn't let Mikey take the shot, so I did.

'' I know, little brother. I thought I could have gotten us both out of there. I went to get you out of there, and try to get myself out.'', I explain. '' I'm so sorry, Mikey, I'm sorry.''

'' You got hurt. The electricity didn't help.'', Mikey cries. I rock him back and forth, like I did when we were kids.

'' Sh, it's alright. I'm okay. I promise.'', I whisper, comfortingly. Suddenly, Mikey was ripped from my grasp. I go to fight back, but Kraang Droids take my arms. Mikey goes to punch the Droid that separated us, but another Droid stopped him. '' Leave him alone!''

'' Get off of me!'', Mikey growls. He's... really taking after Raph lately.

'' I'm making the stupid machine, so keep your end of the deal.'', I snap. A Droid looks at me.

'' Kraang is taking the one known as Michelangelo to a different place than the one known as Donatello. This is required, to make sure Donatello does his work. If Donatello pleases Kraang, Donatello can see Michelangelo. However, if Donatello does not please Kraang, Michelangelo will be punished.'', the Kraang Droid warns. Great, just great. I can't protect Mikey if he isn't around me. I have no choice, though. It's either that, or let Mikey die... I think we all know my choice.

'' Fine.'', I sigh, defeated. I look at Mikey, who's about to be dragged away in seconds. '' Everything will be okay. I promise. I won't stop until you're safe.''

'' I know, you always protect me. I have faith in ya, D.'', Mikey smiles at me, and was taken somewhere else. The pain I've felt suddenly became worse. Something inside told me, something bad was about to happen. Not to me, to Mikey...

Meanwhile

Leo's POV

Failure. You failed your brothers, Leonardo. You failed Donnie. If you'd just tell him you'd go West, instead of him, none of this would have happened. Why did we split up in the first place? Yeah, it would have taken a little longer, but, we still would have got everything done. And, there would have been a guaranteed everyone okay. But, because of my own carelessness, Donnie paid the price.

You're never going to see him again. You'll never see his smile. You'll never be able to drag him out of his lab. You won't be able to hear his laugh. Hear him yell at Mikey for messing up an invention. You'll never see him again. Never seeing Donnie again...

Tears begin to form in my eyes, and I break down crying once more. It's not fair. It should be ME! Not Donnie. I should be the one dead. Donnie never deserved death. Never.

And, I promised him I'd protect him... I promised him I'd keep this family safe.

'' Hey, big bro.'', I remember Donnie walking out of the lab, in the morning, right before training.

'' Did you stay up all night?'', I asked him.

'' Yeah, I had to work on this invention. If I didn't, we wouldn't be safe. I wanted to protect us.'', I glare at him.

'' It's my job to worry about this family. Not yours. Don't worry. I promise to keep this family safe.''

'' You sure?''

'' Positive.''

Yeah... I sure did I great job of protecting my family, didn't I?

'' Leo, it's time to go to TCRI.'', Raph broke me out of my thoughts. I stood up from the meditation position I was in, and nodded. '' Let's go show the Kraang we don't play around when someone messes with us. I'm just ready-''

'' To avenge Donnie and save Mikey. Don't blow it, or Mikey could meet the same fate as Donnie.'', I cut him off.

'' I... I can't believe he's really gone, Leo. There has to be some explanation. He could be knocked out cold.'', Raph suggests.

'' Sensei would have still been able to reach him. Just face it, Raph. I don't like it anymore than you do, but, no point on getting our hopes up.'', I sigh. Raph hugs me, and we both cry for a minute.

'' D-Donnie didn't deserve it, though!'', he cries.

'' I know, but, come on. We have a brother to safe, before it's too late.'', I sigh, and we meet Sensei, April, and Casey by the entrance of the lair. '' We're going to get Mikey back-''

'' And avenge Donnie.'', Casey cuts me off. I nod, and we all head out.
