Chapter 5
Mikey felt rage course through his system, he smashed his hand into the top of the crate. He felt tiny dirt pebbles fall on him. He needed to get out and get his revenge, his family didn't care about him at all. They hated him, they tried to kill him. But he's not dead, and he's coming back.
He didn't know how long how long he was in the crate, must have been a least a day. He's thankful that his father taught him how to slow his heart beat, making him take in less oxygen. If he hadn't of done that, he'd be good as dead.
He closed his eyes in blind fury, he felt all his muscles working at once. He felt powerful, the strength he lost was back, he didn't know how, but it was. Maybe because he figured out the truth. He grunted as he smashed his fist into the top.
He smashed it again.
"Mikey will you do something useful for once in your pathetic life" Raph said
"NO" Mikey yelled as he smashed his hand into the top again, making more dust particles fall on him.
"Mikey I don't even know how you can call you're self a ninja…You never show up to practice, you always skip out on patrol, why don't you just stop trying and give up, make things easier for us" Don said
Mikey screamed when he smashed his fist into the top again.
"Michelangelo…What you did tonight was very foolish, you almost cost the life of your brothers, you must be more mature in those situations and stop acting foolish, you're making this team look bad" Splinter said
He smashed his fist into the wood.
"Mikey I'm not going to keep saving you're ass every day, you need to get you're sh*t straight and grow up" Raph said
Another smash.
"Mikey…grow up if you want to continue to be in this team" Leo said
Mikey felt tears run down his cheeks when he rammed his fist against the wood. He felt it getting weaker and weaker. It would soon break.
"Mikey leave me alone, I don't need you now or ever" Don said
Mikey closed his eyes, "NOOO!" He said and smashed his fist through the wood, feeling pounds of fresh dirt fall on him. He broke off the top half of the wood and felt the dirt soon land all over him. He grabbed the wood and sat up, placed both feet on the bottom and pushed up.
He slowly began to climb through the dirt.
"Leo?"
"What do you want now?" Leo said sharply
"I'm sorry for what I did" Mikey said
"Mikey…You'll never learn will you…you can't just keep apologizing and expecting us to forgive you so you can do it again" Leo said
"But-"
"No buts…I'm having trouble deciding if I want to forgive you or not" Leo said
Mikey coughed when he felt a whole load of dirt fly into his mouth, It was actually more difficult to climb out of dirt then it seems. Its fresh dirt so it just keeps falling down.
"Mikey…He wants to see you" Leo said
Mikey walked into Don's lab and found Don laying on his table, bandages all over his chest.
"Mikey" Don said weakly
"Don…how you feeling?" Mikey asked
"Fine…Mikey…Thank you so much"
"Don't mention it..what are brothers suppose to do?" Mikey said with a smile
"You don't understand, You saved my life…Without you, I would be dead" Don said
"No…I barely did anything…You're the one that did everything" Mikey said
Don wrapped his arms weakly around Mikey, "I love you bro"
"I love you too"
"It was all a lie" Mikey said as he continued to climb.
"Mikey I'm going to kill you" Raph screamed
"It wasn't that bad, all I did was paint over you're motorcycle" Mikey said innocently
"No you knucklehead you ruin the entire body, now I have to take it out and replace it thanks to you" Raph said
"Well let me help you then" Mikey said
"No I don't want any help from you" Raph said
"Come on I can do it" Mikey said
"You can't do nothing without messing something up, now get out of my face" Raph yelled
Mikey grunted as he felt himself slide down , he caught himself and remained still for a minute. Then slowly started to climb again.
Mikey opened his eyes, right next to Raph's bike was a bike that looked like his, Only painted orange. Mikey's eye's opened wide.
"You always said you can't be the Turtle Titan without a bike" Raph said
Mikey was speechless, He opened his mouth to talk, but no words came out, only a little squeak.
Raph laughed, "Go ahead..get on"
Mikey didn't need to be told twice, He ran to the bike and jumped on.
"Raph how?"
"I had a little extra time and equipment" He said
"So does this mean that I can ride on this whenever I want" Mikey asked
"No it's twenty five cents an hour"
Mikey gave Raph a confused look.
"I'm kidding of course you can" Raph said
"YES!...Can we go out now?" Mikey asked
"I don't see why not..Here" Raph handed him a orange helmet that had 'Turtle Titan' on it
"Oh my god" He said
"Let's go" Raph said
Mikey felt as though that never existed, all the good memories feel surreal, and the bad one were reality.
"Mikey get your ass in here" Don's voice rang through the lair
"Yeah?"
"What the hell is this" Don held up a broken machine that he had built
"Oh..yeah..umm"
"Spit it out!"
"Well…I came in here looking for battery's for my controller and…I fell on it" Mikey said
"And did it ever cross your mind to come and tell me?" Don said loudly
"I was but-"
"Don't give me that bull sh*t" Don said slamming the machine down to the ground, "Don't ever think about stepping foot in here again got it?"
"Yes"
"Now get the hell out of my sight" Don screamed
Mikey reached up and rammed his fist through the dirt, feeling air. He placed his hand down on the dirt and pushed up, once his entire upper body broke through the dirt, he inhaled deeply and spat out the dirt he had in his mouth.
He grabbed the grass and pulled himself out of the dirt, laying flat on his shell, staring at the sky. It was dark and gloomy. He felt his strength slowly ware down. He inhaled sharply, then exhaled. He leaned his head down to the left and saw Casey's farm
He will rest there for now, but in the morning. He will return to the lair and give his brothers a surprise they won't soon forget.
