Well,here it is,the long awaited chapter twelve I hope you enjoy it.

With a better understanding of where Don and Jake were,we laid everything into place. April would do recon and disabling of the security alarms,

while,Mikey,Raph,Leo, and me were the infiltration team. After confirming all the details, we took off on shell cycles towards Stockmans main lab. Parking

them in shadowed corners,our plan was underway. Mikey and Leo went to one side of the building and Raph and I went to another. Over our headsets we heard

Leos voice.

" When everything is set April,give us the all clear and we'll head in."

He said to her. A few short minutes past by and we watched as the entire building went black. A few seconds after that we heard April come over our headsets.

"There may be emergency backup lights in the rooms but, the security alarms are all completely down and everyone seems to be leaving."

Than we heard Leo again.

"Raph,Brandie,you two take the lower levels,Mike and I will head higher."

Almost in unison Raph and I responded.

"Got it!!"

Raph and I started in through one of the lower windows.As we had anticipated,the emergency backup light in the room came on.Ducking under the first thing we

could find, Raph and I ended up nose to nose beneath a large work desk.I felt myself start to heat up as our eyes locked with each others. Throwing a ninja

star,he knocked out the light and we made our way out of the room into the hallway connecting it. Continuing along,all we could see were doors.

"We should split up and check 'em all."

He said,turning from a door he had stepped in front of. I nodded in agreement but,as he went to open the door,I took ahold of his wrist. As he turned to look at

me,I pulled him into a kiss. When we broke apart he smirked at me.

"Be careful"

Was all he said before entering his first room. Entering the room in front of me,I was glad to see the emptiness of it.I ended up going through about two more

rooms like it before making a huge discovery. The room I stood in harbored a large glass window and through it,I could see downward into what looked like a

holding station,lined with monitors and computers.Hunched over one of them, I saw Donny and he didn't look well at all. I could hardly tell whether he was even

breathing and he appeared to be wearing some sort of a collar.I couldn't see anyone else in the room with him and radioed to the others.

"I found Donny.He doesn't look good."

I said and Leos voice came over.

"Where are you?"

"Lowest level,farthest end."

I replied.

"We'll meet you there."

He said and than I heard Raph speak but,his voice wasn't over the headset.

" Sure it's Don?"

Turning around,I saw him standing behind me and I nodded in response to his question.

"Yeah,it him alright,look."

I replied,turning back to the window.Raph stepped up next to me and looked through the glass. As he stared down at Donny,I saw a scowl cross his face and I

couldn't keep from feeling as though it was all my fault. It was true that the guys had dealt with the Foot and Baxter Stockman before but,I couldn't help feeling

that my meeting them had done more harm than good. A few minutes later, Mike and Leo came into the room and I showed them what I had found. Busting

through the glass window,we slid down into the room. Running over to Don,we saw that he looked as though he were starving and had burn marks on him. He

was still conscious but, looked as though sleep had been denied him as well.

" My god,Donny what happened to you?"

I asked,taking his face in my hands to look at his eyes. In a barely audible voice he answered.

"It's the collar, it sends electric energy through me if Stockman doesn't think I'm working enough."

"so it's pretty much a shock collar."

Raph determined. Doing his best to sit up straight,Don addressed him.

"There's a bit more to it than that."

He started.

"There is a spike embedded into a main nerve and it's where the main shock circuit sits."

"So how do we do that?"

I asked, still looking him over.

"the collar has to be released,"

He started weakly.

"Otherwise, it triggers a more powerful shock. The release switch is over there."

He said,pointing to a small enclosed button.Before another thing was said,Raph went over to the case and smashed it,hitting the button at the same time. The

collar split apart from the front and I pulled it away from Dons neck gently,noticing the small spike that he had described. There was a loud,short noise that was

heard and suddenly a door at the other end of the room opened. From it emerged a figure with mechanical limbs. The other three readied themselves as the

figure approached us.My heart stopped as I realized who the figure was.

"JAKE!!"

I screamed,staring at the abomination my brother had been turned into. He didn't respond and only continued to come nearer,initiating an attack. As the guys

tried to fight him off,I kept close to Don and started trying to get him out of the way. Jake seemed to have gained ungodly strength and was almost knocking the

guys to the ground as if they were toys on a shelf. With as much strength as I could muster,I got Don to his feet and pulled him further away,setting him down by

the door. Turning back to survey the situation,I could see that the guys were doing their best at trying not to hurt Jake while trying to protect themselves. It was

time for me to make a hard decision.

"Guys!!! Let's Go,We can come back for him later!!!!"

I shouted,pulling Don out the door as the other three came up behind me. Raph took ahold of Dons other side and we hustled out of the facility to the shell cycles

and Don slung himself over one as we took off.
