Hey fellas! This chapter's kinda long, I know. But the sad ending is coming on the next one, I promise. I still have some work to do: Me and My Teddy bear and another one-shot fan-fic… Uff! Lot of work…
Repeat: I'm not the turtles' owner… DAMN YOU NICKELODEON!
Love ya lil' bro… Should've told ya before…
"Leo, what exactly did Raph tell you?" Don asked angrily as he entered into the dojo.
"Eh… about what?"
"…*sigh*… Mikey, Raph, bad prank… remember?"
"Ok, ok! I remember"
"So? What did he tell you?"
"Why do you wanna know, anyway?"
"I found Mikey crying on his bed because of something that Raph said"
"Wait… how did he..."
"I told you, he went after you! He heard everything, Leo"
"C'mon, what he said it wasn't so bad… yeah, he said he hated his behavior, but we all know Mikey's just Mikey and…"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa… hold it right there! Mikey told me Raph said he hated him! Not his behavior!"
"He said what?" Raph had just arrived to the dojo when he heard the last part of the conversation.
"Don't tell me he was spying all Leo's lecture!"
"Apparently yes"
"Where is he? I gotta talk to him!"
"He said he was going to April's place, I tried to stop him but… he just… ran away. He looked really depressed"
"…*sigh*… I better call April" Leo said and dialed April's number.
*RIIIING, RIIIING*
"Hello?... Hey Leo… … No, he hasn't called… … is everything alright? … … oh, I see… … … don't worry; I'll call you when I see him, ok? … … ok, bye"
"What happened babe?" Casey asked.
"Mikey and Raph had a bad argument"
"Whoa… I thought that was Leo's line"
"Well… he said Mikey's coming now… *sigh*… I wonder what happened; Raph and Mikey don't fight usually"
"Don't worry April, Mikey's a ninja! He'll be here in no time"
But Casey was wrong, the Foot wanted revenge for their last encounter with the turtles, and what a perfect opportunity that taking the youngest of the team down. Mikey didn't notice the ninjas that were following him on his way to April's place… and now he was in serious trouble. The ninjas had Mikey surrounded. Wherever he saw, there were Foot ninjas. One of them took Mikey by surprise and kicked him on the jaw… another one came and was about to slash Mikey with his katana, but the orange masked ninja jumped to another building and started to run as fast as he could.
"Oh shell! This is definitely not my day!"
Meanwhile, the guys had already arrived to their friend's place. Leo told them the whole story; Raph looked pretty ashamed. Listening the whole story again made him think about his behavior with his little brother lately… he couldn't believe how childish he had been!
"Raph, man! I know ya don't like pranks 'n all that stuff but, c'mon! Don't cha think that was kinda… rude?"
"I know, Case… I'm such a jerk!"
"Whoever who thinks different… say 'I'…" Don mocked Raph. No one said a word.
"Well, Raph… it's official now: you're a jerk" Casey said.
"Guys, this is not time for joking… where's Mikey? He had to be here 15 minutes ago" April asked in concern.
"I'll call him... Hope I don't interrupt something" But what Leo didn't know is that he had called in the worst time ever.
Mikey was hidden inside a dumpster… the Foot ninjas were there, near him… very near him.
"Ok… now I just had to wait 'til they get tired and go home… then, I'll get the shell outta here" then, his shell cell rang.
"Oh-oh! This is not good, not good at all!" The Foot surrounded the dumpster where Mikey was.
With a battle cry, Mikey opened the dumpster cover; he threw it where the ninjas were and escaped. While he ran on the rooftops, he finally answered.
"Mikey? Where are you bro? We're…"
"Leo! The Foot… they've been following me…!"
"What? Mikey, where are you? Tell me the direction!"
"4 blocks away from April's… I think I'm gonna… AHHHH!" A shuriken stabbed Mikey's leg and made him drop his shell cell.
"Mikey! … Mikey, you hear me? ... Shell!"
"What happened?" Don asked.
"The Foot"
"WHAT?" everyone stared at Leo.
"They've been following him… he's 4 blocks away from here… we gotta hurry!"
With this, the guys left the department and made their way to the rooftops. Mikey was now more than 4 blocks away… the ninjas were fast and he was hurt and tired.
"I can't believe this is happening to me! Hurry up, guys!" Mikey thought as he ran.
"Guys, we better go on separate ways… Casey, you're with me… Don, go to the west… Raph, go to the south…, April, take the hauler and look on ground. Get your shell cells ready!" Leo commanded.
Each one of them started to look on every place they could, but Mikey wasn't there. On the other hand, Mikey was having problems handling the ninjas… he felt more tired as the minutes passed.
"Can't… you guys… gimme… a little… break?" Mikey said as he dodged the katanas.
"Where tha shell are ya, Mikey?" Raph looked everywhere but only shadows greeted him.
"I can't believe that bonehead just got caught by the Foot!" he was about to leave when the sound of clashing swords stopped him and made the red masked ninja think the worse.
"Mikey! Wait a little more, bro! I'm coming!"
One of the ninjas had Mikey pinned down with a foot on his chest and the katana up, ready to finish him.
"Oh boy! That's it… I can't believe this is it!"
The ninja prepared the sword for the final move. Mikey shut his eyes… waiting… and then, a familiar battle cry made him opened them again. In a matter of seconds, the ninja's sword had been caught by a pair of sais. With an expert wrist move, he made the ninja lost his sword and with a kick Raph sent him to ground.
"Mikey, you ok? What happened to yer leg?"
"I'm ok… just a scratch… What are you doing here?"
"Ya called Leo; we all heard ya were in trouble, dufus. Now c'mon, we gotta take ya outta here" … Raph said and helped his brother to stand up… "Ya really can't walk?"
"I can try"
"Ok … I'll call the others… *dialing*… … …guys, I found him… … … he's just bruised and his leg has a nasty cut… … … I'm going to April's, tell Donnie he better has his first aid kit ready… … … Ok, see ya there… *end of the call*…"
"Raph, watch out!" Another ninja was about to slash Raph, but he moved just in time.
"This guys don't know when is time to surrender, do they?" Raph put Mikey in a safe place and took out his sais.
"Wait here" The red masked ninja dodged a second attack.
He took the ninja's foot, sending him to ground immediately. With a punch in the face, the ninja felt into unconsciousness. More Foot ninjas came. The shurikens flew all over the battle field; Raph twirled his sais and sent them directly to the ninjas. While he was busy, some ninjas went into Mikey's direction.
"Eh… Raph? Need a little help here!" but Raph wasn't listening.
"Ok, knuckleheads… a little scratch won't stop me!"
Mikey took out his nunchacks and caught the fist of his opponent, then he lifted him and threw the unfortunate warrior into a group of ninjas.
"Watch your back, Raph!" Mikey yelled and threw a kick to the ninja behind his brother.
"Ok, who wants a little more?"
TBC…
