Leo groaned as he felt a rough muzzle slip over his head. His hands were bound behind him and his feet shackled. He watched as he brothers were getting the same treatment, even the unconscious Raph. Minutes ago, they had surrendered to the Shredder; it was that or watch their brother die from electrocution.

"Leonardo," a female Foot soldier approached him, green eyes shinning. Leo growled. Karai. She approached him, a look of triumph on her face. "It seems you have stooped to your real level; an animal."

"Go to-" Mikey yelled as a muzzle was slipped on his face. The rest came out as a grunt. He struggled as he forced to the ground. Don was already on the ground, he face twisted in a painful grimace as he struggled. Their masks were removed one by one and shredded before their eyes. Karai reached behind Leo and grabbed his katana's.

"I've been needing a new sword Leonardo. I thank you for your gracious gift, seeming you won't be needed them anymore." She gave a mock bow to him before retrieving the rest of the turtle's weapons and putting them in a long bag. Don's Bo was too long so she broke it in half and stuck it in.

Don grunted in surprise as he watched Karai take a sword to his Bo and saw it in half. He shadow fell over him and he glanced up to see a sneer on a robotic face. Stockman. Stockman leaned over, a needle in his hand. Don moaned as he felt a prick in him arm and as darkness took over his vision and was soon left him in complete darkness.

Mikey struggled to open his eyes. The last thing he remembered was Stockman leaning over him and drugging him. He let out a grown and rolled onto his side. Leo was beside him, struggling with the ropes around his writs. He glanced past him and was relieved to see Raph awake. He looked past Raph, trying to see where Don was. There was no sign of the purple clad turtle.

Mikey had no clue how long they were in the room when the door opened and light streamed in. Mikey blinked past the light to see Hun's huge form. The giant grinned as he reached down and yanked Raph out of the room by his shell. Raph let out a muffled curse behind him closed mouth as the door shut behind him. Mikey glanced at Leo, eyes terrified.

What are they doing?

I don't know Mikey. His eyes seemed to say. It scared Mikey to see fear in Leo's eyes. Leo was never afraid. It seemed like only a few minutes before Hun came back into the room and grabbed Leo. Now Mikey was petrified; he was all alone it a dark room with no idea of what had happened to his brothers. Mikey closed his eyes, trying to calm down and decided to try and reach his brothers by meditation. Normally he would leave that stuff to Leo, but he was alone and he had to know what had happened to his brothers.

Hello? Anybody there?

Mikey?

Mike was relieved to hear Don's voice. He wasn't dead.

Bro, what's going on?

Not sure Mike. I'm in some kind of cell. They just threw Leo in here with us; Raph's here with me too.

Did they do anything to you guys?

Not really. They just put collars on us and took of the muzzles. Thank goodness, it was getting really annoying. I don't know how Raph stood it for as long as he did. They also chained us up, but we can move around. There's about a foot of chain between the cuffs on our hands and feet.

Can Leo come up with a plan to get us out of here? Mikey prayed his eldest brother had a way out. He wanted to go home.

We're working on it Mike. Leo's contacted Master Splinter and told him what happened. Splinter will find Casey and April and get us out; don't worry. It seems Casey already contacted Splinter when we never came out to the Battle Shell.

Tell Leo and Raph to meditate so we can all talk to each other.

Hold on.

Mikey? Don? Raph's voice.

I'm here too guys.

Good, now Leo do you have a plan yet? Don asked.

Master Splinter says to wait. It seems Shredder just contacted sensei and told him that he has us. Shredder told Splinter that he was going to convince us to work for him.

Like that would ever happen.

Calm yourself Raph. Leo snapped. We're going to have to remain calm if we want to get out of here.

Whatever.

Mikey, are you still okay?

Yeah Leo, why?

Well, they haven't brought you here yet. Are they waiting on something? Have they done anything to you?

No, I'm still how I was when you left. They had better hurry and come get me though; this muzzle is getting itchy.

Now you know how I felt and I had to wear it for a month!

Raph, not the time. Don sighed.

Well Mike's complaining about it when we should be focusing on getting out of here.

I don't care! Go on Leo.

Thanks Don. Now Mike, the minute they come to get you, tell us.

Roger that. Wait… the door opened and Hun walked into the room, the same twisted sneer on his face. Guys, Hun's here.

Stay cool Mikey. Hun didn't do anything to us.

What he means is that if they didn't do anything to him, there's no way they would pick you over him.

Thanks Raph.

No problem Leo.

Mikey, ignore Raph and Leo. Just stay calm and we'll see you in a few minutes.

Okay Donnie. See you then!

Mikey tried to sound cheerful but inside he was shaking with fear. Hun roughly grabbed him by the shell and dragged him outside into the bright light. Mikey squinted against the bright light as he was drug down a long hallway. About ten minutes of hearing shell scarping metal, Hun slipped a key card into a slot and a door slid open. It was dim inside as Mikey was thrown in.

Hands stopped his fall as Mikey felt them untie his writs and undo the muzzle straps. He let out a relived sigh as the muzzle fell to the floor.

"You okay Mike?" Leo asked concern in his eyes.

Mikey shakily got to his feet. "Yeah, but how come you guys are untied?"

Don shrugged as he gave his little brother a hug. "I'm not sure and I'm not complaining either."

Leo nodded his agreement. Mikey suddenly remembered something very important he had to do. He threw himself at Raph with a yell.

"What the shell-?!" Raph grunted. "Mikey, whatca doing?"

"I just realized that this is the first time for a month we've seen you! I mean, with no distraction. Well, kinda no distractions."

Leo's eyes opened wide and with a grin, threw himself at his brothers. Don thought for a minute before throwing himself into the pile. They were all wresting playfully, each trying to give Raph a hug. Raph on the other hand, had other plans; to get away from the other three before they kill him! Or squashed him, one of the two.

"Really bro," Don said after they'd all had a chance to catch their breaths. "You don't know how good it is to see you. Can you tell us what happened that month?"

Raph crossed his arms, a scoff coming over his face. "Well, right after Splinter gave me my lecture, I couldn't take it anymore so I headed up. Soon after that, I saw a bunch of purple dragon's that need a good butt-whoopn'."

Mikey chuckled. "I always knew that would getcha in trouble one day. What were they doing, taunting ya?"

Raph thought back to that day where he leapt off the roof. Those stupid tatts of theirs were taunting him. "Nah, just about to beat up a pedestrian. So I jumped in there and when I thought I was doing good, they got the best of me."

Leo narrowed his eyes. "Got the best of you? Is that possible?"
Raph smacked his oldest bro. "Zip it. Anyway, I managed to call Don, but then I

guess they hit me hard or something cause when I woke up I was in a cage with Hun in the room. He handed me a letter, saying that he had contacted Macaster, the ringmaster/Foot dude, had bought me. Macaster came to look at me, bought me and brought me back to the "circus" where I've been ever since."

"What about Becka?" Leo questioned. "Where does she fit in?"

"Becka…" Raph closed his eyes as he murmured the gentle brunette's name. "Hope she's okay." He opened his eyes. "She saved my life. I would have gone crazy. Probably would have lost it if she hadn't been there."

Leo gripped Raph's knee. "Then we owe her allot. Don't worry, as soon as we get out we'll find her. Not everyday a human would do that."

Mikey smirked. "Especially not for Raph." He ducked, but not in time. "OWW!"

"Mikey, you come in a very close second." Leo kidded is youngest brother. "Now as I was saying, we got to figure a way out of here."

Don spoke up. "I've studied the place; nada. This place is built as solid as the Great Wall of China, if not better. The only way we have hope for escape is if they let us out or we get rescued. Until then…" he studied the walls, a haunting look in his eyes. "We're stuck here."

Don't worry; we haven't seen the end of Becka or Macaster. For the next chapter, I may have to up the rating for the high amount of violence and blood. None of the turtles will die… yet. Also, be prepared for a sudden twist to the story. If you want more info; check my main page for the sequel to Caged, Imprisoned. There will be a summary to it- but like this one, it will only give part of the story; love to keep my readers guessing. (Hint, hint- may become a trilogy if I get enough reviews for both stories.) As always, read and review.
