Mikey Goes Ice Skating

Chapter 10: Hunt
Authors Note: This is so funny. ^_^
In a vast, forest opening were two brothers. One was seated, his back and head against the tree, eyes closed, while the other was standing, leaned against the tree with one foot propped up against the bark and his arms crossed.
Suddenly, a shuffling sound was heard by the bushes nearby.
The one standing, Raphael, immediately got into attack mode while Mikey, the one seated, simply darted his eyes in the direction of the sound. Both relaxed, however, at seeing their braniac-of-a-brother coming out.
"Well…" he sighed, "I think I've found them all. Luckily, they're all small animal traps. But there's a lot, so we'll have to take them all out of here together," Don spoke tiredly.
"Huh! Damn bastards…" Raph muttered.
"Ah, ah ah. Watch that language Raphie boy," Mikey moved his finger back in forth in a scolding fashion toward his brother, who glared in response.
"Shut up Mikey. Unless you want us to go look for the traps and leave you here all alone," Raph smirked.
Mikey's smile abruptly fell. Mostly cuz he knew Raph would leave him here all alone. In this creepy forest.
"Hahahaha, just kidding bro. No hard feelings right?" Mikey laughed nervously.
"I take it you feel good enough to travel now Mikey?" Don asked.
"Um…" Mikey glanced nervously at Raph who suddenly punched a knuckle in his hand.
"Yes!" Mikey spun back to face Don.
"Good. When I counted them there were quite a lot of traps, so we should start right away. The sooner we get rid of these and help any civilians out of danger, the quicker we can find Leo."
"Right," Raph replied as Mikey nodded in agreement.
"Soooo…." Mikey started, as he slowly braced himself against the tree and stood up. "How many of these bad boys need the Mikester to get rid of them?"
Don raised an eyebrow. Then smiled.
"Ohhh…about…30."
"WHAT!" Mikey shouted.
"You have got to be kidding me Donnie," Raph asked darkly.
"Afraid not. And it takes some time to safely handle each one, so we got our work cut out for us."
"Ohhhhhh," Mikey sighed dramatically as he slid down the trunk of the tree. "I don't think I can make it…You two go on without me…."
"Shut up Mikey. You're perfectly fine," Raph kicked his brother on the side lightly.
"Ow! Hey!"
Don rubbed his temples.
Oh this will be fun, he thought.
….
As Don led his bickering brothers down the trail toward the closest group of traps, he thought about what the leader of their group was doing right now.
Hopefully he hasn't got into any battles yet. Now if it were Raph…
"Ow! What was that for!?"
"For being annoying, now shut up!"
If it was Raph that'd be a whole nother ballgame…
Upon arriving at the closest trap, Don stopped as his brothers followed suit.
"Now pay attention. How to disarm an animal trap is very important," he cast them both a look saying, "you better pay attention or your hand will get snapped!"
Both brothers nodded.
"Alright." Don bent down toward the closest trap. "Somebody find me a long, thick piece of wood."
Raph looked around.
"Found one." He said.
"Good. Bring it here."
Raph did so as he handed the piece of wood to Don.
"Alright. Now…I'm going to slowly press the wood onto the center of the trap, like so…"
SNAP!
"AHHH!" Mikey screamed.
"Geez Mikey! Calm down! It's just a trap!" Raph shouted.
Don was mentally about to kill both his brothers. At this rate, he would end up accidentally putting himself in the trap.
"Will you too quit it!" he snapped.
Raph and Mikey instantly fell silent. When Don said to be quiet, you went quiet.
Letting out a sigh, Don began again. "Alright. Now I need one of you-" he stopped, knowing Mikey would freak out if he did what was next. "Raph, I need you to hold onto both sides of this trap while I slowly bring out the stick. As soon as it's out, let go quickly, as it will immediately clamp back together. Understand?"
"Got it."
"Alright." Don breathed out. Then signaled for Raph to hold the sides of the trap open as he slowly pulled the stick out. Once it was all the way out, Raph let go quickly as it quickly shut with a clamp!
"Eep!" Mikey tried to hide his squeal.
Raph rolled his eyes. "Alright. Let's go to the next one."
"Yeah, hahaha. You guys do that. I'll just hang around and"-
THUMP!
Raph suddenly dropped the trap into Mikey's hands.
"What the shell dude!"
"Make yourself useful dummy," Raph replied.
"Hey! What do you mean-"
"Mikey, we can't leave the traps right where we left them, even if they are disarmed. It's too dangerous. We need to take them out of here. So…since you're not doing anything, you can hold them," Don replied.
"Wha-but-but-but-there's-30 of them!"
"Then you better put those battle nexus championship skills of yours to use…" Don trailed off with a smile.
Raph grinned. "Yeah Mikey…don't you need to have incredible skills at everything to earn that title."
"Uh..well…yeah, but…"
Aw man! They got me! Fine! I'll show them what a REAL battle nexus champion can do!
"ALRIGHT THEN!" Mikey shouted, causing Raph and Don to cringe at their brother's sudden outburst.
"LEAD THE WAY! I SHALL CARRY THESE TRAPS ALL THE WAY-OW!"
"Just shut it already," Raph grumbled.
