Raph's P.O.V.

I was waking up, all I remember was that freaking purple dragon knocking me out. I was hot. Where ever I was left, I felt like I was on a stove. I moaned as I try to sit up. I sat up and opened my eyes. The sun was blinding, I wonder how long I was out. I went to stand up then realize I am some where I am not supposed to be. I was in the middle of the desert. I looked down at the floor and saw a oxygen mask. I picked it up and looked around again.

The desert was empty and flat for miles and miles. There was some tall dry grass too, it was harder to see the floor this way. I sighed and noticed my legs wobbled. I took a deep breath.

"HELLO?!" I shouted and I began to cough from the shout. I looked back up and find dry grass waves back and forward in the distance. I squint my eyes and see a head shoot up. But it was not just any head, it was Donnie's head. He was far off, "Hey!"

I shouted and my throat was dry. I saw Donnie's head turn to face me. I began to walk through the grass to Donnie and he did the same. I noticed him stopped walking after a while. Donnie was walking down to him and he soon disappeared to his knees. I walked faster and made it to him. He was on his knees with a hand over the forehead of my older brother, Leo. He looked beaten up and I turned back to Donnie.

"How are you feeling Raph?" Donnie asked and I closed my eyes shaking my head. 'How could you ask that, Don, when you are holding my big brother that is bruised all over, yet your worried about me?!' I can't lie to Don. We were not at home and this is serious. If I wasn't dreaming.

"I feel weird, like my head keeps being pushed around different directions." I said and Donnie looked up at me.

"Your dizzy?" Donnie asked and I nodded trying not to made the dizziness worse. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to a sitting position. "I am glad your finally awake."

"First off, what in the world is going on? Second, how long was I out? Third, where is Mikey?" I asked, I didn't like not knowing where my little bro was.

"I don't know how we got here or why we are here. You were out for three days and I don't know where Mikey is." Donnie answered and I looked at Leo. He had scratches and bruises on his body. I missed a lot in the three days. I was confused and worried. I shook my head in disbelief. I must be dreaming.

"Donnie, what happened when I was out?" I asked. I must have missed something that is related to this.

"Well, Leo wake out from being knocked out by his hearing yesterday. Leo soon heard whispers from the sewers saying the coin was found. We left you and Mikey at the liar while Leo and I searched the sewers. After some time I got a call from Mikey, but ignored it think Leo would take care of it. I went to the meet point Leo set out and waited for him to show. He came a bit late barely able to walk and he passed out. A minute later he came to and told me he got a call from Mikey but it was someone else on the line. We raced back to the liar and found you were fine and Mikey gone. Leo left after a while and came out of Mikey's room holding Mikey curled up in a ball. Mikey was crying and scared, he said that sand people were after him." Donnie stopped and sighed. "I believe him. He had the same dream for nights in a row about sand people hurt us and forcing him to give them the coin. He doesn't have the coin but the sand people are after him. I think I know where he is now. They-they probably have him."

Donnie looked back at Leo and I noticed a tear run down his face. I didn't believe him at first but when he started to cry, he was serious.

Casey's P.O.V.

I ran into the liar, it was quiet. I lift the hockey mask off my head to get a better view, something wasn't right. I looked around and found no one. I walked into the infirmary and find April on the floor crying. Splinter was trying to comforting her. I stared at the scene for saying anything.

"What happened?" I asked. I saw April jump a bit, but not turn around.

"Something..took the guys..." April said and I was barely able to hear.

"Who?" I asked.

"Not who..what" I don't know if April was trying to correct me.

"Miss O'Neil, where are you getting at this?" Splinter asked and she stood up still not facing us.

"Something took the guys and it wasn't exactly living.." April said and tilt my head.

"How do you know that?" I asked and sitting on one of the infirmary beds. April went to her knees and picked up some sand I didn't see from earlier.

"Sand...the sand is everywhere and Mikey only told Donnie and I about dreams he had for nights in a row." April said and watched the sand slip through her fingers. "Sand people."

Leo's P.O.V.

I was beaten and bruise I failed my brothers and now we are in the hands of, sand. I worried every second, I was probably separated from everyone. I failed. I wanted to wake up and beat the living, I mean nonliving?, hell out of the sand people. I was angry, I was upset. Mix emotions flew around my head. I felt my self wake up. My breathing quickened and I squeezed my eyes tight.

I didn't want to open them until the time was right. I felt no bonds around my wrists or ankles, strange. I felt like I was burning alive. I felt movement around me and yet I didn't dare open my eyes. I heard a conversations above me, but I didn't want to hear. I wanted my family. I hadn't no choice my hearing focused onto the words being spoken.

"I told him not to because it is dangerous for him to. He uses too much energy from it and he could pass out and never wake up." The voice was familiar and I felt myself shift without me moving my body.

"Is he coming to?" I heard a voice that made me shot my eyes open and gasped. I began to blink to focus on the sun beaming down on me. I than squinted my eyes and saw two outline of my brothers above me.

"Raph.." I sat up quickly, "Donnie..." I said in excitement, then curiuosity flooded me. "H-how did you escape?" I asked and my brothers looked at each other.

"Escape?" Donnie asked and I nodded, "Leo do you know what happened last night?"

"Some.." I answered and looked at my brothers realized one was missing. I gasped, "Mikey!" I screamed and my breathing quickened. "They were after him.." I said after the scream.

"Leo, we need to know what happened." Donnie said and I noticed Raph was quiet.

"After you fell asleep I watched over everyone and my hearing with going nuts. I spun around in my chair for a while but nothing was in the room but us, that is what I thought. I heard the shifting sounds again and quickly turned around to catch what ever it was shifting. I was gagged and tried to punch and kick. My attacks went through and I was knocked out." I said and could felt their eyes staring me down.

"Was it the sand people?" I heard Raph asked and I turned to him.

"The sand people are The Coin Guardians."

Hey people! I am sorry about the long pause it was because I had school stuff and I wanted to creat suspense. I am also sorry if the chapter didn't make much sense, but trust me it will next chapter! I hope you made some sense out of it and hope you enjoyed it. Has the YouTuber BlackNerd would say "Love you like a play cousin. Chainchump! Yump!" Lol love that. Peace.
