Chapter 9
The four turtles were woken by the sound of their door slamming open. Future Leo, Raph and Mikey stormed in causing the younger four to leap out of bed and back away.
Future Leo grabbed Donatello around the neck and lifted him off his feet, Future Raph and Mikey restrained the other three from helping their poor choking brother.
''LET HIM GO!'' They yelled.
Donatello stared into his brother's eyes, he could see the fear shining through them.
''Fix him'' Future Leo said simply, he dropped Don onto his feet but kept a strong grip on his arm.
''Huh?'' Don asked curiously,
''I said. Fix. Him.'' Leo repeated before dragging Donnie with him to the main area. The other three young turtles rushed to his side and gave him comforting looks as he was dragged harshly to the labs.
''Ya better not be doin' what I think yer doin'!'' Raph growled as Donnie was pushed onto a lab table, The future brothers left the room leaving the four young turtles confused.
They weren't left for long though!
The future brothers brought in a bed on wheels and pushed it in front of Donnie, his future self was lying unconscious in front of him.
''Oh..'' Don gulped. ''I thought you guys didn't like each other anymore''
Future Raph punched him in the stomach with a growl, ''Don't eva say that again!''
''Noted'' Don groaned as he scrunched his face up.
''WOAH! WOAH!'' Don's brothers yelled as they stepped in front of him,
''DON'T HURT HIM OR HE WON'T HELP!'' Leo roared, The three future turtles glared at the four younger ones.
''Do it and do it now'' Future Michelangelo growled before helping his brothers drag Don's brother out the room.
Donnie was alone with his future dying self, he felt slightly afraid but he stayed calm.
''Let's see... we need meds.. and a life support machine'' Donnie frowned, he hooked Donatello up to the machine and set to work. he didn't understand what illness his future self had so he had to try different things to cure him, eventually he found a blue/green substance that helped.
It took two hours to put Don into a stable condition but he had managed and his future self had woken up.
''Thank you'' He said in a quiet, weak voice.
''It's ok.. but.. I don't understand.. what did I give you?'' Donnie asked curiously.
''You gave me a dilute mutagen'' Older Don groaned, ''I conducted an experiment on myself years back.. it caused me to become gravely ill and I have to take mutagen to stay alive but.. I didn't take any last night''
''Why not?'' Don asked angrily, ''You need to take it otherwise you'll die!''
''That's the point'' Older Donnie sighed sadly, ''I have nothing to live for anymore.. The world as we know it is falling apart, almost everyone we love is dead, April's lost interest in me and my brothers hate me and each other''
''Your brothers don't hate you'' Don frowned as his future self cried silent tears. ''They threatened me so I'd help you and punched me when I thought they didn't care about you''
''I appreciate the lie.. but please.. let me die'' Don frowned, ''Let me die so when it's your turn you can die peacefully''
''I don't want to die'' Don frowned, ''I'll never end up in the same situation as you, I'll make sure of it!''
''Don't kid yourself'' Older Donnie groaned, ''Your whole life has been nothing but a lie''
Donnie shook his head before running out of the room, he slammed the door shut and slid panting onto the floor.
''Don?'' Leo asked worriedly, Don looked up to see his brothers and his future brothers. There was a spark of anger as he jumped off the floor and stormed towards the adult turtles.
''YOU IDIOTS!'' he yelled, ''YOU MADE ME KILL MYSELF? WHY WOULD YOU ACT SO HATEFUL TOWARDS ME? WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE BROTHERS!''
Older Raph grabbed Donnie's arm and pulled him closer, Don could see the fire in the hothead's eyes.
''Is our brother dead or alive?'' he asked in a clear but angry voice.
''He's alive and wishing that he was dead'' Don growled, ''You guys hate him and he hates himself''
''We don't hate him'' Older Mikey hissed, ''Who are you to make that judgment?''
''I'm the younger version of yur dying brother! You guys have done nothing to show you care for him and now he wants to kill himself and honestly, I DON'T BLAME HIM!'' Donnie yelled, Older leo pushed him away and his brothers caught him as their future selves went to see their dying brother.
''Donnie'' Don calmed his breathing and looked down to see his baby brothers tearful eyes, ''You're gonna kill yourself?''
''I'm not, he is'' Don pointed to the door as tears slid down Mikey's cheeks. He pulled his baby brother close to him and held him protectively.
''Don't ever kill yourself Donnie'' Mikey whispered, ''I don't want you to die''
''I'm not going anywhere Mikey, not yet'' Don whispered back. Leo and Raph watched their brother's in concern but were quickly distracted by the yell of angst coming from the lab where the older turtles were.
The four brothers rushed in to see older Mikey, Leo and Raph kneeling by the bed.
Future Donatello was dead.
Uh oh.. I can see some angry reviews coming my way.. Please Review? xx
