I do not own TMNT.

This chapter is for UnderWaterUnicorn, Who posed the question: What are the other turtles doing? And this chapter wrote itself off of that. This chapter was completely unplanned... But I feel it adds so much more to the story. So Thank you, for asking about the others! XD

Also, Because this story jumped in place of my original chapter 4; I'm going to consider it 'extra' and post two chapters this week. Chapter 5 will be up Sunday 7/10 following my original 8 day pattern. :)

Chapter 4: Hanging in There

"Come on guys, theres got to be a way out, Don you've got to have a idea!"

"Mikey, for the hundredth time... I'm chained to a wall, I've tried fitting my hands though the shackles but I'll rip off my hand before I get free, and then theres still the feet. On top of that, We've got to find a way out of the room, I see no vents, a window, But unless I'm mistaken Its a long drop to the street. Then theres the door, the electronic security will send a alarm if we so much as touch it from this side. Cameras in two corners will make sure the foot know were free. And say we manage to get out of this room, then we've still got to fight our way out... and I don't know about you... but I'm in no condition to fight."

None of them would be able to fight well, all sustained injures when they had been caught. On top of that, Karai hadn't bothered to feed them since they had become her prisoners. I suppose she's waiting to see what would kill them first, the beatings and broken bones, or starvation.

Donatello and Raphael seam to accept that this is the end for them. I can barely hold tears back at that thought. But I will not cry, not here. Atleast, we would all be together... this time.

"Leo would of found a way to get out." Mikey said softly.

"Well Leo aint here now is he... I wonder who's fault that is."

"It wasn't anyone's fault!" Mikey yelled at Raph, but Don hid a whimper.

Mikey struggled against his chains banging them against the wall.

"Mikey, Would you stop that? My head's killin me enough already" Raph complained.

"No, I'm NOT giving up... I'm finding a way outa this and that's final"

"Mikey, It would take a miracle to get out of here. Leatherhead can't fight in here on his own, April and Casey have their child to think about. No one is coming. Its over."

"Then I'll just have to make a miracle, because I'm NOT giving in. I'm not giving up like both of you. I am NOT letting Karai Win, not now not ever." His resolve showed as he struggled harder against his chains.

"Mikey, yer just gona get yerself hurt..."

"I don't care"

"Well I DO CARE!... I can't... watch another bro ... " Raph didn't finish his sentence.

"That why I'm getting us out of here."

It was odd how my youngest had changed. The innocence in him died, the day Leonardo did. Leaving determination. A determination to hold this family together at all costs, that could of rivaled Leonardo's.

I can't think of a way out of this prison, I don't think its possible without help. But I will not extinguish Michelangelo's hope, it would destroy him.

A painful yelp brought my eyes up to Michelangelo. He was laying face first on the floor, his ankles still stuck to the wall and twisted oddly. His hands were bloody, he must of managed to pull his hands though the shackles, leaving most of the skin behind.

He clawed at his feet trying to free them.

Two guards came into the room.

"Uh... Hi guys, how are you? Were... just hanging in here... nothing to see... ... You can leave now." Mikey said with a child-like smile.

The guards had other ideas, and circled around Mikey kicking him and attempting to grab his writs. Mikey wouldn't have it, He fought. Hands and teeth. He successfully tripped them both, but new bruises were already starting to show on his skin.

One guard got up and ran out of the room, the other stayed down. Mikey reached to the guards belt and pulled out a key ring. He tried five keys in the locks at his ankles before one worked. He quickly freed himself from the shackles.

"What did I tell you guys?" He said happily standing. The victory was short lived, the other guard returned. A small army of foot with him.

"Mikey, look out!" Raph called as the army came in behind Mikey. Raph struggled hard against his chains, he couldn't just watch helpless.

Raph's hands were much bigger than Mikey's, there was no way he would get them though the shackles with his hands still intact. It was obvious, that he didn't care at that moment, Mikey needed him... Mikey needed us all but what could we do. I struggled lightly with my bonds, but I am so tired.

I watched in horror as my youngest fought, but a day without food, water, and his injures had taken its toll.

He lost.

The foot drug my son's unconscious body out the door.

"MIKEY!... Mikey..." Raph my strongest yelled, and then whispered. "Mikey.."

I could only imagine what they would do with him, the thoughts bring tears to my eyes.

I don't how long we stayed in silence, muffled cries coming from both of my sons. I could cry with them, but I still do have hope.

Leonardo is alive, I can feel him searching for us...

I look out our small window, and see the stars above me.

'Leonardo, my son... You must hurry... Your family needs you' I whisper.

So, to answer your question... They are hanging in there...
