"Wake up turtles" Shredder walked in. He wore his usual armor and in his hand he carried some sort of whip. Mikey's eyes jolted and he shivered at the sound. Donnie was still holding him carefully. Donnie growled as the shredder walked inside. He closed the door and locked it and walked towards Donnie.

"Now now turtle, where are your manners?" He laughed and grabbed Donnie wrist. He hissed as his hands were cuffed to the chain on the wall. Shredder grabbed Mikey and tossed him to the middle of the room. He yelped.

"Leave him alone!" Donnie cried as he tried to get to Mikey but he cuff on his wrist didn't allow him. Shredder ignored him and walked towards Mikey and rolled him on his shell. Mikey watched him with terrified eyes.

"Hopefully your brother is more of a talking person" He said and grabbed the whip and straightened it. Mikey swallowed and he looked at the whip with horror. Mikey cried in agony as the whip contacted to his skin. He began to twist on the ground and cried out.

"S-stop, you're hurting him!" Donnie screamed and desperately tried to brake free.

"Tell me where Hamato Yoshi is and I'll stop hurting your dear little brother" Shredder said laughing and landed another attack on Mikey's body. He cried out in pain and rolled on his plastron. He looked up and stared at Donnie.

"D-don't t-tell" He hissed through his teeth as another whip contacted his body. He hissed and tempted a scream.

"S-stop, take me instead. D-don't hurt him please" Donnie cried and watched how his baby brother was being whipped right in front of his eyes. A high-pitched scream escaped from Mikey's mouth as the whip contacted with his skin again. He screamed in pure agony again as the whip contacted with his toes. He curled up and chocked. He began to couch hysterically and couldn't get in the oxygen he needed.

"Please stop it, he's having a panic attack!" Donnie screamed as he watched his baby brother chocking on his own breath. Shredder ignored him and landed another attack on the small turtle. He rolled on his shell and continuously opened and closed his mouth. Trying to inhale the oxygen he couldn't get.

"He can't breathe, help him please!" Donnie cried again, he was crying right now. The shredder grabbed a small device and when it touched Mikey's skin electricity cursed through his body. He screamed in agony and he fell back on his shell again. He was breathing again. Shredder walked towards the corner and grabbed a bucket and walked towards Donnie. He showed him what was in it.

"Do you know what this is?" The Shredder asked and narrowed his eyes. Mikey was still panting on the ground, catching his breath. Several wound of the whips covered his body and his side was torn since that got the most hits.

"S-salt water" Donnie stuttered. He froze when he found out what he was about to do with the salt water. Upon contact with open wounds it worsened the pain of the wound greatly. Donnie shook his head but Shredder grinned and walked towards Mikey.

"Are you going to talk turtle?" Shredder asked Donnie. He could only stare at his younger brother and the bucket of salt water. Before he could react the salty water engulfed Mikey. He screamed upon the contact and shivered heavily. He was on fire, he had to be. His whole body was burning. The salt was pouring in his wounds and left a burning pain behind. He screamed and twitched his body away from the water. Let it stop, please. Mikey screamed again Shredder asked Donnie once again where Splinter was but Donnie shook his head. How badly he wanted to tell to stop Mikey from being hurt, he couldn't.

"If you don't want to tell your brother has to suffer" After he said that he grabbed Mikey's wrist and dragged him outside. Mikey's terrified eyes locked into Donnie's.

"D-donnie, h-help!" He screamed with absolute terror and he was taken away.

"Mikey nooo! Keep away from him Shredder!" Donnie screamed and he found himself alone. His head was raising. Why Mikey? Why not him? Please Leo, Raph come please. Mikey please be okay. Maybe I can contact them! He suddenly thought and immediately sat in a mediation position. Of course his arm was still cuffed but he had to roll with him. He focused on his family and suddenly shocked.

"Leo..?"

"Oh my god Donnie?!" Leo screamed in his mind. Donnie was so relieved to hear his brother, and Leo too.

"Are you okay? Where are you? Have you seen Mikey?"

"I'm okay Leo…. I don't know where I am though…" Donnie was silent.

"Don… Where is Mikey, is he okay?" Leo asked more curious. Donnie was silent again.

"Shredder is torturing him…" Donnie said hesitantly.

"No! What did they do?" Leo exclaimed.

"They used water torture, he crushed his toes and he whipped him Leo, please get here fast" Donnie began to cry right now.

"Oh god, Donnie hang on. We won't stop looking. Do you have any idea where you are?"

"I don't know Donnie, I think I'm underground there are no windows here. The air is a bit denser here."

"Anything else? Did you see or hear something else?"

A loud scream echoed through the halls and Donnie lost the connection when he heard Mikey's scream. Leo was snapped out of his trance after Mikey's scream. He stood up and stared a few seconds.

"NOOOO!" He screamed loudly and began to tremble. Raph ran in, followed by April and Master Splinter.

"What the Heck" Raph said but stopped when he saw Leo crying in the middle of the room.

"Leo what is wrong?" April asked concerned and hugged the blue cladded turtle. Leo was shaking in April's grip. Raph just stood in the door opening and watched his older brother breaking down. He had no idea what was going on.

"My son what is wrong?" Sensei asked in a concerned voice. Leo looked up from April's hug. His eyes were red from crying. "I contacted with Donnie" He said and swept his tears away and set down on his bed. April sat next to him and sensei on the other side. Raph kept where he was standing.

"How is he my son?" Splinter asks and laid a paw on the shoulder of Leonardo. Leo didn't answer and struggled to find the right words. He wasn't ready to tell such a thing. He wasn't ready to tell how badly he'd messed up. He failed at leadership.

"Donnie's ok" He mumbled and started shaking again. He kept hearing Mikey's scream. It was full of fear and pain. "And Mikey?" Sensei asked hesitantly. Leo shivered lightly again. He kept hearing what Donnie said. 'There are torturing him'. He couldn't imagine Mikey being tortured. He was the innocent one.

"Shredder is torturing him" He said and immediately began to cry again and covered his head in Splinter's hug. They were all quiet. Mikey was being tortured. And by the way Leo was telling it they all knew he was still being tortured. Splinter felt a flash of guilt wash over him as he realized why his youngest son was being tortured. It was because of him.

"I have to go" He whispered and wiped away Leo's tears and hugged him and stood up.

"N-no sensei, what are ya doin'?" Raph asked. Was sensei really going to shredder because Mikey was tortured?

"Don't follow me my sons, Michelangelo and Donatello will be home soon" He said and walked to Raphael to hug him. He had sworn to protect his sons and this was the quickest way to do so. Shredder would release his two youngest sons in return for him. But before Splinter could hug his second oldest son Raph pushed him away.

"Ya can't do tha sensei, do ya really think he let Don and Mikey go?" He exclaimed and looked at him with worry. Tears stung in his eyes but he bit them back. Realization flashed over Splinter's face as he backed down. Raphael, his second oldest was right.

"I don't know what to do anymore Raphael" He said. Everyone looked at him in disbelieve. Those where a few words they thought they'd never heard from their master. He always knew everything.

"Don't worry sensei, we won't stop looking for them. Donnie told me he was underground, maybe that helps us" Leo said, a bit more calmed. Sensei smiled slightly. He'd raised 4 brave warriors. Leo shivered again as he still heard Mikey's scream. Don't worry little brothers, we are coming. We will find you.
