I DO NOT OWN TMNT!

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing well! Sorry I am taking so long to post chapters I have made a goal to post every Sunday now.

Dons frantic screams seemed to echo across all of New York city as he and his brothers and father held Mikey down while he seized. All Donatello had done was inject the said antidote and almost instantly Mikey had started to convulse.

"D-Donnie! Wha the shell do we do?!" Raph yelled as he held Mikeys arms down. Don just shook his head and quickly pulled out a sedative, moments later Mikeys movements ceased.

"Donnie...what the shell was that?" Leo questioned looking down at the now sleeping Mikey.

Don ran a hand over his head and let out a shaky sigh. "I...I don't even know Leo, it could be possible that the hourglass was just a fake, Raph shook his head at this. "That can't be it Donnie! You said it yourself that it was Draco's blood!"

Don rubbed the back of his head. "Well...truth be told all I knew at the time was that it was blood that was in that hourglass. But...maybe..maybe it wasn't Dracos? I don't exactly know his blood type or anything of the sort so I didn't know for sure! I-I mean we fought for the stuff so I just figured since Karai was making such a big deal out of keeping it to herself and fighting Leo for it that it was the cure!"

Leo and Raph glared at Don, "so ya mean ta tell me that this...this 'cure' that we just risked our life for...is a fake?!"

Don held his hands up quickly, "look! I didn't know that at the time! And I know for a fact that this blood was not poisoned so the question now is...what caused it?...Wait. Where is the hourglass?"

"I tossed it when you were giving Mikey tha shot...I don't particularly like needles so I kinda occupied myself with throwin the thing away."

Don hummed, "so...you threw it in the trash can?"

Raph glared, "nah Donnie! I flushed it down tha toilet!"

Don sighed, "I didn't mean to ask it like that I mean did you throw it?"

Raph nodded.

"That's weird.." Don retrieved the hourglass and walked over to Mikey then barley shook the small object, Mikeys reaction was faint but immediate. This made Don very uneasy, "this is not good...I think they gave us a fake cure but...they also gave us a clue as to what they are planning."

Leo, Raph and even Master Splinter, who had been sitting quietly beside Mikey, looked confused. "Donatello, my son, please explain your reasoning for this."

"Well, we all saw what had happened to Mikey when Karai had shaken the hourglass, he reacted just like he did a while ago, we all assumed it was the liquid that caused it when in fact it was actually the hourglass itself!"

Raph rubbed at his aching shoulder , "so wait...what does all this mean then Donnie?"

Don sighed, "In all honesty I'm not entirely sure yet, I know for a fact that they must posses another possible object that controls these seizures, I'm afraid the foot are one step ahead of us...er...was at least. Then there's the whole issue of finding Draco but where in the shell he is, is past me."

Master Splinter stood, stroking his beard in worry and thought. "I shall go meditate on this, perhaps I can contact this beast in the spiritual plane. Ah! Donatello April wanted me to tell you that she is perfectly ok and is ready to help us at any time."

Don blushed a bit when he heard this, it seemed April knew him better then he knew himself, the moment Master Splinter had filled him in on what had happened when Draco had snuck in he had been concerned over her well being.

"I'll...have to call her to say thanks later, thank you for passing it on Sensei."

All three brothers bowed to their sensei as he left the lab, shortly after a soft gasp was heard from Leo. Don took notice immediately as his oldest brother was wiping at his red eyes. "Come on Leo lets get you checked out."

Don snuck a quick glance at Raph who was standing directly behind Leo, the red banded turtle had been trying to hold his hand to hide a deep gash on his shoulder. Don knew better though, he had taken notice of Raph right after he had sat Mikey on the medical bed. "Raph your going after Leo."

Raph grunted at this, "nah I'm fine don't wor-"

"Raphael you don't have a choice."

Raph backed off instantly as he faintly remembered Don taking all the foot down. He nodded quickly and took a seat by Mikey as Don guided Leo to the next room over.

Raph looked over at Mikey in a hesitant fashion, he knew Mikey was in bad shape but just seeing his little brother like this was eating away at him. "Oh little brotha...what have we become?"

Raph jumped as Mikey started to stir, "Mike?! Hey lil bro! How ya feel?"

Mikey swallowed, Raph frowned as he saw the clear discomfort come across his brother. "Ya don't have ta say I can see it now, ya need Donnie?"

Mikey nodded weakly. "I'm sorry...t-think I do..."

Raph shook his head at this, "don't ya dare say sorry, ya don't have ta talk jus take it easy Mike you have been through alot bro. Hold up I'll get Donnie!"

Surely enough only a few minutes later Don was hanging a morphine bag over Mikey while he stitched Raphs worse for wear wounds on his arm. "Gah! Hold still Raph!"

Raph growled, "can't help it Donnie! Ya stickin a freakin needle in me!"

Donnie pulled the needle away, a serious look on his face. "You know usually I don't numb the wound before I stitch it but I decided to for yours since you opened it so much carrying Mikey. Now I could just forget this kind act and let you be in even more pain or I could give you a small little poke with this and let you go through this pain free. You pick and pick fast, I can't believe you tried to hide this Raphael."

Raph gulped at Donnie, he had completely forgot the wrath that 'Doctor Don' could bring to any being who gave him a hard time during medical events like this. "Aight...sorry Donnie." Raph replied quickly.

Don nodded and started to once again move towards Raph with the needle, Raph, with his eyes closed tight, accepted his fate and was later rewarded with a red band aid.

Mikey watched as this all played out he resisted every urge to try and at least attempt to talk, he had so many jokes he needed to chant right now that it was painful to hold them in.

Leo had left only moments before the faintly pathetic scene of all this played out to go meditate along side with Master Splinter, he also had to hold a cold rag to his face for the next twenty minutes as Don strictly ordered.

As Don finished up Raph stretched and yawned then rubbed at his face and looked over at Mikey, just seeing all the machines from before surrounding his baby brother sent a twinge of hurt to Raphs heart. He didn't even notice as he held his hand up to his heart, Don noticed instantly and gave Raph a look of sympathy.

"You to huh?"

Raph whipped his head to Don and instantly dropped his hand, then, realizing what he did he looked down. "It just feels like we haven't made any progress Donnie."

Don sighed, "I know exactly what you mean...but...I think we have had some luck! At least we're not in the dark about anything anymore!"

Raph shook his head as he looked over at the now sleeping Mikey. "Ya sure bout that Donnie?"

Donnie nodded, "I know for certain."

Raph smirked, "well...if ya are so certain then I guess I shouldn't be worried. Shell Don he can't have that much time left though...do you even know how much time he may have?"

Don let out a shallow sigh and slumped forward, "I can't even say anymore Raph...all I know is we need to be on high alert and looking for clues every second we can."

Don got up and walked over to retrieve the small hourglass, Raph watched as Don turned the hour glass in his hands as he surveyed every detail. "R-Raph!"

Raph shot up in alert and made his way over to Don. "What? Didja find something?"

Don nodded, "I looked through the glass and found this."

Raph looked into the glass and squinted his eyes, "Donnie how the shell can you see what's scratched in?!"

Don gave an exasperated sigh and led Raph over to a magnifying glass. As Raph peered into the glass he slightly grunted, " Made by...Master Yoshi?!"

Leo entered just in time to hear Raph. "What did you say Raph?"

"Ya...ya heard me! Master Yoshi made this-this thing that's helping to kill our brotha!"

Leo shook his head at this instantly, "no..that's wrong Raph! You're wrong."

Raph growled and shoved the small hourglass in Leo's hands, "yea? Read that! He signed his name in the glass Leo!"

Leo put a hand on his head as he saw the evidence. "Shell... we gatta tell Master Splinter."

Don double checked Mikeys vitals as they left, he made sure to set alarms on each machine just so if Mikey started to seize again or anything of the sort he would know.

As the three brothers cautiously entered Master Splinters room they made sure to bow and sit in there respected spots in front of there father who was currently sitting on a mat behind a small table that was littered with tea cups and candles.

"My sons...something is troubling you, please inform me what is happening."

Leo cleared his throat, "Master Splinter it appears that the creator of the hourglass that somehow caused Mikey all that pain is...your Master Yoshi' s invention."

Master Splinter looked startled but recovered quickly, "I see...my Master Yoshi was indeed a wise man, he invented many magnificent creations but this...is one I didn't know about."

Don rubbed his head, "Master Splinter would you happen to have any of his papers for his inventions?"

Master Splinter sighed, "yes but only a few and I have not ever seen any of the blueprints of this..." Master Splinter slowly took the hourglass and took in all its detail. "This does look like a pattern design he would put." Splinter noted sadly. "I shall check again perhaps if you three help we will not miss a blueprint."

The three brothers nodded as Master Splinter took the box and poured the contents of paper out. It was about a half hour later when the four realized they had no more to sort through. Don watched in sadness as Master Splinter stacked all the papers in the pretty red and gold Japanese box, then he realized that the box had about four inches more of room.

"Master Splinter? May I see the box?"

Master Splinter nodded handing the box to Don, Donnie looked at the box closely and carefully. That's when he realized that the box had a small handle on it, Don pulled at it carefully and sure enough it opened! Don pulled out a small piece of paper and unfolded it, "this...this is it!"

Master Splinter looked shocked, "I had no idea."

"It even has all the materials he used listed and where they are from!...Hm...what's this? In case of emergency...seems promising..."

As Don read over the paper his smile slowly grew and grew, "this-this is it! Guys this is the actual cure! Although it won't be easy we have the answer!"

Raph, Leo and even Master Splinter beamed.

"Well lemme read it!" Raph said grabbing the paper out of Dons hands, " says here that whoever's blood is in the hourglass is effected if either all the blood runs to the other side completely or the glass gets shaken.

If this occurs the person it is effecting will ethier be injured or even killed. There is only one way a cure can be performed for this so that if the enemy ever gets the person's blood again it will not work. First you must retrieve the enemy's blood then immediately after you put the victims blood in the glass as well, after this is completed successfully shake the hourglass. This will fuse the twos blood and then initially cure the victim by canceling there blood out. Be sure to apply more of the enemy's blood then the victims."

Leo hummed at this in thought, "this is great and all but we have one sole major problem...where's Draco?"
