"He got away."

Donnie could hear voices close by but his eyes refused to open.

"Go out and find him. We need all of the turtles." Another voice ordered. "Shredder wont be pleased if we only have three."

"Yes, sir."

Donnie groaned and tried to open his eyes again. One was too swollen to see anything but he managed to make out the shadows of the foot clan members through the cage bars he was held prisoner in.

Two more foot clan were standing there as a third had left to deliver orders on the missing turtle's capture.

"This one is waking." A foot clan member with an old scar across his nose pointed in Donnie's direction then tossed a cup of water with his other hand.

Donnie yelled out and scooted away from the bars when the water hit him in the face. It was salt water and it burned his sores and cuts.

A loud bang and rattling of chains started from the cell beside Donnie's but the wall in-between them didn't tell Donnie much on what the sound was.

"Leave him alone!" Raphael's thunderous voice gave light to Donnie's situation.

"Raph?" Donnie's voice was hoarse and he coughed shortly after, feeling his lungs and chest burn.

The two foot clan walked away from Donnie's sight and moved to the second cell next door to give the angry turtle some attention. "Ten was wrong." The scarred foot clan stated, watching Raphael's heated glare fix onto them. "They are not broken."

"That is why Ten is being punished. That is why we are taking over this mission." The taller foot clan member replied, grabbing onto the bars and staring straight back to Raphael, unafraid. "Ten was a twisted little freak-"

"What do you expect from an experiment? He lost his mind years ago."

"Well now he's Shredder pet toy."

"Serves him right for trying to mess with the master's mind."

"The only way to get rid of the turtles is to kill them."

"Once we find the other turtle,-" The scarred man stopped and he and his comrade looked down the prison hall when they heard footsteps coming closer.

"Shredder needs to see you two." A messenger said, stopping short before seeing the creatures inside of their cells.

"The master wishes to see us now." The taller foot clan member grinned. "We will be rewarded, brother."

The scarred man nodded, also grinning. They both followed the messenger out of the prison halls, leaving behind the quiet darkness.

Donnie didn't move much. He could feel the chains on him, keeping him from doing any action. He tried to remember what happened at the cabin but it was all a painful blur. All he knew at the moment was that he was captured once again and Raphael was in the cell next to him. "Raph...?"

Donnie heard chains rustle and a heavy sigh but no more response.

"Are you okay?" Donnie tried again.

"'M fine..." Raphael mumbled.

"Where's Mikey?"

"I don't know, Don." Raphael didn't even know Donnie was next to him until he heard Donnie yell out from the salt water. "I don't know anything about Leo, either."

Donnie winced as he pushed himself up into a sitting position. "I was hoping this would never happen to us again..."

"Hmm, it's different this time." Raphael stated, relaxing against his chains now that he knew at least one of his brother's was alive. "We're not trapped in the same cell forced to fuck each other. This time, I'm pretty sure they're going to go straight for the kill once they find our other brothers."

"They said they have three of us, Raphael. Mikey or Leo have to be here already."

"There's a lot of cells, Don. They're probably still unconscious. I've been awake for a couple of hours now until you finally came to."

Donnie scooted toward the wall where Raphael's cell was placed and he leaned against it. "Any plans, Raph?"

Raphael remained quiet and Donnie understood that meant 'no'. Then he heard the chains rattle again and the loud banging as Raphael tried to break free from his restraints. Donnie just closed his eyes and curled into himself. This can't be the end...

Ralph's chains died when he heard a soft crying, "Mikey?" He asked, looking at the cells across from him. "Mikey!" The crying stopped and Raphael waited for an answer.

"Raph?" Mikey whimpered.

It was Mikey! Raphael was both happy to hear his voice and...upset that he was capture. That meant that Leo was-

"Mikey!"

Raphael's breathing stopped when he heard Leo distinctly call out in the darkness, "Leo...?" He found them!

"Leo!?" Donnie jumped from his position on the floor and ran up to the bars. Had he already been captured? No, Leo wouldn't let that happen. He must be here to save them!
