Ch 17 A Bloody Mess

"Mikey!" Leonardo cried out, his dark brown eyes wide with horror as he saw his little brother fall, the blood pouring from his side.

"Michelangelo!" Shen cried out at the same time, her black eyes wide as she dropped to her knees beside her fallen youngest son. At the same time a furious cry rang out and Shredder went flying through the air, where he hit the brick wall and was knocked out. Yoshi and Raphael were standing there both of their eyes filled with rage. Tiger Claw and Bradford began to advance towards the group.

"Try anything and you're dead!" Raphael snarled, aiming his sais towards the pair.

"Bradford! Tiger Claw! Fall back!" Karai called out from her place where she had been watching the entire fight. "Help me with my father! We're leaving!" The two males hesitated for a brief second but quickly went to help their mistress load her unconsious father into the van and they sped off.

"He's losing a lot of blood!" Donatello cried out as he frantically tried to stop the flow of blood that was coming out of his little brother. Yoshi dropped to his knees and helped his son control the bleeding. Leonardo and Raphael could do nothing but watch and hold their mother as the tears flowed down her face. After retrieving the proper medical items from the Shell Raiser Donatello and Yoshi finally stopped.

"Is..is Michelangelo going to be alright?" Shen asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"We managed to stop the bleeding," Donatello said, wiping the blood off his hands with a spare rag. "But he needs proper medical care back at the lair."

"Raph help me carry him," Leonardo said as he got underneath Michelangelo's upper half. Raphael quickly got underneath Michelangelo's lower half and together the twins gently lifted their baby brother up and carried him the the Shell Raiser. Everyone climbed in silently and Donatello floored the gas and headed back to their lair as quickly as he could.

A little while later the group was back at the lair and Donatello rushed into his lab to gather his gear while Leonardo and Raphael got Michelangelo settled into his room. A few minutes later April came bursting into the room. "Where's Donnie?!" the red head cried out.

"April what's wrong?" Leonardo asked, alarmed at his friend's appearance.

"He texted me," April explained. "Said Mikey was hurt really bad and he need my help."

"Donatello is in Michelangelo's room," Shen said softly from her place on the couch. April went running into the room after muttering a quick 'thanks'. Yoshi sat down beside his wife and pulled her close. "I cannot believe this is happening," Shen whispered. "Once again Saki has managed to cause our family pain."

"He won't get away with it Mom," Raphael said, sitting beside his mother. "He's gonna pay big time for what he did to Mikey. And for tryin' to take you from us. I'll see to that personally."

"I do not want you to get hurt Raphael," Shen said, stroking Raphael's cheek. "It is bad enough that Michelangelo has gotten hurt and I do not want you or your brothers getting hurt or worse."

"Mikey will be alright Mom," Leonardo said, sitting on the floor in front of his mother. "You'll see. He's strong and a fighter. If anyone can pull through this its him."

"I hope you are right Leonardo," Shen said with a slight smile. Yoshi was watching this with great sadness. This sadness quickly turned to anger and he left the room with a furious growl.

A little while later Yoshi had returned after making a phone call. "Yoshi where did you go?" Shen asked, running over to her husband.

"I made a phone call to Japan," Yoshi explained. "Do not worry Shen I have called in reinforcements."

"Yoshi what do you mean?" Shen asked, the confusion clear in her voice.

"Yes Father I'm curious too," Leonardo said as he and Raphael approached their father. Yoshi opened his mouth to speak. But before he could Donatello emerged from Michelangelo's room with April right behind him. Both teens looked very tired.

"Donatello," Shen said, running over to her second youngest son with the rest of her family right behind her. "How is Michelangelo?" Shen asked, her voice shaking slightly. Yoshi put his arm around his wife and pulled her close as they awaited Donatello's response. Donatello sighed and looked at April. Then he looked at his family and opened his mouth to respond.

"Mikey's condition is very serious," Donatello said, his voice coming out very soft. "He lost a lot of blood but luckily I always keep a spare supply of blood so that's not an issue. But there was quite a bit of damage done to his side. I'm particularly concerned about his kidney. When the blades pierced his side they pierced the kidney as well. I managed to repair most of the damage but he needs more surgery. And with the limited supplies I have here I can't do it. He really needs to go to a hospital but obviously that can't happen."

"What kind of supplies do you require Donatello?" Shen asked, getting out her cell phone. "My friend Elizabeth is a doctor at the hospital and I will see if she is willing to help us."

"Won't she ask a lot of questions though?" April asked. "I mean I would if I were her."

"Elizabeth knows of our situation," Shen informed the red head. "I met her many years ago while I was at work. She was buying some martial arts supplies and we struck up a conversation and have been friends since. She and her husband, Will are the few people I trust. And luckily she is a surgeon as well."

"I'll text Dr. Turner what we need," Donatello said, taking his mother's phone and typing, explaining the situation and what was needed. Minutes later the phone beeped and Donatello smiled. "She's in. She said she and Mr. Turner will be here within the hour."

A couple of hours later Dr. Elizabeth Turner and her husband, Will had arrived at the lair with the required supplies. Elizabeth was a slim, very beautiful women with dirty blonde hair that fell just past her shoulders and deep brown eyes. Will was a very handsome man with dark hair and dark brown eyes. "I'm sorry it took us so long," Elizabeth said after greeting the family. "But we had to get Jack and Hector to my father's house."

"I understand how it is with young boys," Shen said, smiling at her friend. "But please Michelangelo is in desperate need of your assistance."

"Of course whatever you need," Will said and he and his wife followed Shen to Donatello's lab where Michelangelo had been moved to. Moments later Will, Shen and April returned to the living room.

"Dr Turner said that its better if I wait out her so she and Donnie can work," April said as she sat beside Raphael on the couch.

"Don't worry Elizabeth is the best surgeon around," Will said, trying to sound as upbeat as possible. "She'll have Michelangelo fixed up in no time."

"I hope you are right Will," Shen said softly as she sat beside Yoshi and put her head on his shoulders. The rest of the night was spent awaiting news on Michelangelo's condition.

A few hours later Elizabeth and Donatello emerged from the lab, both of them looking worn out. "How is my baby?" Shen asked as she and Yoshi stood up and walked towards the pair.

"I managed to repair the vast majority of damage that was done to his kidneys," Elizabeth said with a sigh. "However he lost a great deal of blood and although Donatello did have a supply I'm afraid we've used all of it."

"Then use my blood," Shen said. "I'll give him whatever he needs."

"I'm afraid that won't work Shen," Elizabeth said. "With Michelangelo's mutation he'll have to have blood from the same mutant type."

"Then us my blood," Leonardo said, getting to his feet. "I mean that should work right? Since me and Mikey are both mutant turtles?"

"Yes that should work," Elizabeth said. "Please come with me." With that the duo were gone. Donatello sat down on the couch with a heavy sigh and buried his face in his hands. Shen and Yoshi sat beside their son and rubbed his back.

"You did well my son," Yoshi said softly. "I am very proud of you."

"As am I," Shen said with a smile.

"Yeah ya did real good there Donnie," Raphael said, kneeling in front of his brother. The fourteen-year-old looked up with tired black eyes.

"I just hope its enough," he said softly.

"We must trust that it will be," Shen said. The group nodded and anxiously awaited Elizabeth and Leonardo's return.
