(I don't own TMNT or Hunger Games)

Chapter 14

Leonardo woke up to the sound of birds. He yawned and rubbed his eyes. He looked down and saw the careers still asleep. He let out a frustrated sigh. He closed his eyes. 'How do I get out of this mess?' he thought. He thought if he quietly climbed down the tree, he can land on the other side and get away.

He heard a noise. He instantly sat up straighter and check the careers. Still asleep, so who or what is making that noise? He glanced across and he saw a familiar white rabbit.

"Usagi! I forgot about him, but what's he doing?" 03Mikey asked. The turtles got up just in time to see Leonardo and Usagi having a silent conversation. They saw Usagi point up.

Leonardo furrowed his brow and looked up. It was a brown thing that had a bug flying in and out once in a while. He looked back at Usagi, seeing him make a sawing motion with his hands and pointing at the careers down below.

"Bugs. I hate bugs." 03Raph growled, shuddering at the thought of the ones on the TV.

Leonardo nodded, giving Usagi a thumbs up and started untying himself. He check his wound and noticed his leg was better. The skin was still darker than the rest of him but he could move it.

"Glad his leg is better," 03Don spoke up, happy with his help from yesterday. "He should put another dap on and the color might turn back to normal." He brothers gave him high fives and fist bumps.

"Nice work Donnie," 03Leo praised him. "At least we can help at some degree."

Leonardo dug inside his backpack and fished out the knife Karai threw at him. It wasn't a saw but it would have to do. Attaching it to his belt, he started climbing the tree to reach the branch where the nest was.

The Fugitoid and Rocksteady appeared on the screen. The turtles let out groans.

"Rocksteady. I think those are trackerjackers am I wrong?" The Fugitoid asked his co-host. A picture of a wasp was shown behind them and it focused on the stinger.

"Those things are very lethal." Rocksteady said, shaking his head. He straightened his papers and looked at the screen. "For those who don't know. Trackerjackers are genetically engineered wasps. Whose venom causes serious pain, powerful hallucinations and in extreme cases, death."

They disappeared and the scene showed Leonardo inching his way on the branch were the trackerjackers nest was. Knife now in his hand.

"Is he crazy? Didn't he hear a word those guys said?" 07Leo asked, his voice rising just a little.

Leonardo got himself settled on the branch and placed the knife on the branch and started sawing. At first the moving of the branch didn't disturb the trackerjackers, but as he added more pressure to speed up the process, the buzzing was growing louder. A few even ventured out of their home and flew around him.

He kept pausing to swat at them but one managed to sting him on the neck. He clasped his neck. He tried not to make any noise, but the pain was so intense a whimper came out. He quickly glanced down and saw Tokkar twitch, but he went right back to sleep. Leonardo continued sawing the branch.

He managed to get stung to more times, one on his hand and one on his arm, and he managed to saw the branch off and it fell onto the unsuspecting careers. The nest broke and the angry trackerjackers swarmed around. They all jumped and started batting them away. Some even ran off in different directions, but Rahzar wasn't so lucky. He was sleeping close the where the nest hit and they thought he was responsible for the nest breaking.

His head, arms and legs were swollen with bumps from the stings. A canon went off.

"I don't like the look of that. He's like the time Mikey got shell acne." 12Raph teased his brother. The others raised their eyes as 12Mikey stuck his tongue out and pouted. Making a disgusted face at the swollen dead turtle on the screen.

12Leo and 12Don waved them off. Wanting to talk about it later.

Leonardo was zooning in and out of the world that he lost his balance and fell right onto Rahzar. He rolled off the turtle and tried to get on his feet. The forest seemed to spin and wouldn't stand still. He walked a little woozy at first and tried to leave but he saw the bow laying on the ground. He could finally have the bow.

He fell down next to the bow and looked around as best he could for the arrows. He looked at the body of Rahzar and saw the quiver laying underneath him. Leonardo crawled toward the turtle and pushed against the heavy turtle. But in his state it was more like a pathetic shove.

'Come on Leo,' he encouraged himself. 'You can do this.'

He used all his strength to push the turtle off and rolled him onto his belly. He drunkenly put the quiver on and grabbed the bow. He slowly got up. He heard a noise and turned toward the person standing there.

He squinted to get his vision focused. He saw three Donatello's. He had a bump on his forehead and on his shoulder. "Go, get out of here. GO!" He shoved Leonardo. He stumbled but caught himself and walked off. He didn't know where he was going. The trees seemed to tilt at an odd angle and it looked like the rocks were floating. He stumbled some more until he tripped on a root.

'I didn't expect this was how the way I was going to go,' he thought. And the last thing he saw was a pair of feet before the darkness took him under.

The turtles stared at the screen. Slacked jaws all around.

"I wish Donatello would make up his mind. Be with the careers or not. It's so confusing." 87Mikey complained, hitting his head on the coffee table with a bang.

They saw Usagi drag Leonardo toward a hollowed out log and used his backpack for a headrest. He placed the bow and arrows against the log and covered Leonardo with leaved.

"What's he doing to Leonardo? Making a garden?" He jokingly asked.

"No, I'm assuming that he's using some sort of herb to draw the venom out. According to what Leonardo told us about the districts when we got here, they harvest fruits and nuts-"he got chuckles from the Mikey's and Raph's-"he must now some herbs as well. Of course I could just be guessing."

"Well, whatever he's doing, I'm afraid we have a long wait." 03Leo said, staring at his counterpart laying there. Hoping that he wouldn't die.

"Now that we have plenty of time to kill what was it about shell acne?" 07Raph asked his younger counterpart. 12Raph laughed.
