The Bond of Brothers

Chapter 21

Donatello had finally calmed down, he looked at his other brothers to see them glaring at the walls.

''Um… I'm ok now'' He blushed shyly, he let go of his brothers as they looked round at him.

''Are you sure?'' Leo frowned, Donnie nodded. They stood up together.

''Don't be embarrassed Donnie'' Mikey frowned as Raph and Leo took the lead. ''It's not your fault''

''I can't believe I let my stupid fear take over'' Don whispered,

''Everyone gets scared bro'' Mikey sighed as he threw an arm around Donnie, ''I'm just glad you're ok''

The two younger turtles looked at the older ones, they could tell they were angry.

''You guys are mad huh?'' Mikey sighed.

''What Donnie did was stupid!'' Raph snapped. ''What the fuck were ya thinkin' bro?''

''What was I thinking!?'' Donnie growled. ''I WAS THINKING A FUCKING DOG WAS GONNA KILL ME! THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING!''

''You know dogs are harmless'' Leo shook his head.

''THEY ARE NOT! DOGS HAVE KILLED PEOPLE BEFORE! I WAS NEARLY KILLED WHEN I WAS YOUNGER! SOME DOGS ARE DANGEROUS LEO!'' Donnie yelled. ''YOU GUYS HAVE SEEN THE DAMAGE THEY CAN CAUSE!''

The others didn't reply. Donnie was right.

They had seen him that night Donnie had been attacked, they see his physical scars everyday! They very rarely see the mental ones.

''Forget it'' Donne sighed miserably.

The others cringed at the pain their hearts felt, they still felt guilty about that night. It had been all their fault.

Donnie bowed his head and shuffled after them, he felt horrible.

''Ignore them Donnie'' Mikey hissed. ''They think their too powerful to feel fear, They think we're weak for having 'em''

''Shut up Mikey'' Raph snapped. ''Yer talkin' crap as usual''

''Yeah. Raph's scared of bugs remember'' Leo smirked nastily.

''AM NOT!'' Raph growled. ''YOU'RE SCARED OF HEIGHTS!''

''Not anymore I'm not'' Leo shrugged.

''Asshole'' Raph muttered.

''Stop fighting'' Donnie sighed. ''We're supposed to be working together''

''Well try and not run away then'' Raph glared at Don.

''Stop it Raph!'' Leo hissed. The four brothers stopped walking and faced one another.

''I think someone needs a timeout!'' A voice called out. A hole opened in the ceiling above Donnie and the bit of floor where Don was sitting lifted him up and through the hole.

''DON!'' The remaining turtles called.

''Remember Shredder is not particularly happy with your brother. He's being punished for all of your behaviour as we speak. You've lost turtles. Your bond wasn't enough. You've failed!'' The voice growled.

''F-Failed'' Leo blanched. ''Donnie…''

The corridor went dark and the turtles grabbed one another.

''This is it. You're all going to die'' The voice finished.

There was the sound of rushing water and suddenly their feet were wet. Raph looked up to see the ceiling glowing with a warm orange light. They all looked up to see Donnie's silhouette with Shredder's.

''C'MON!'' Raph called, the three brothers grabbed the pillar that pushed Don through the ceiling and climbed.

They reached the top and tore at the ceiling to find it was made of old wood, easy to destroy.

They were through within minutes.

''DONNIE!'' They yelped. Donatello was lying on the floor, he was bloody and beaten, with Shredder standing over him.

Shredder stepped back as the turtles ran to their brother's side. The dark figure entered the room and stood by Shredder's side.

''You four were so disappointing… We had so much more planned for you…'' The figure sighed. ''But I could see where that argument was going… you four were about to fall out and then the entire experiment would have been ruined.''

The brothers looked up at the two men, Donnie spat out a bit of blood.

''I promised the Shredder that he could kill the purple one but I didn't say anything about you three'' The figure chuckled. ''After all… It wasn't you three that blew up the entire Foot clan headquarters killing all of our New York soldiers''

''Shredder ain't killin' our bro'' Raph growled threateningly.

''You are right turtle'' Shredder grinned. ''I am not just killing your brother. I am going to kill all of you''

Mikey stared suspiciously at the figure, he had to know who it was!

He dashed forward and grabbed the edge of the hood before forcing it down and revealing the stranger's face.

''AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!'' He growled before kicking Mikey away.

''HE'S GREEN!?'' Mikey squeaked as he sat up,

''Are you a turtle?'' Leo asked curiously.

''No I am not'' The green man growled, ''I am just green due to a scientific accident''

The brothers stared in shock.

''BOYS!'' Six soldiers rushed in at Shredder's call. ''You know where to take them''

The soldiers grabbed the turtles.

''These soldiers you've met before,They're little creations of my own. They work pretty well if I do say so myself'' the green man smirked

The turtles glared at the two men as they were carried away.
