Here's the updated and the actual chapter. It's kinda short, but I didn't add anything to suit the chapter's name.

This starts right from where I left it in the previous chapter...and as usual, most sentences in italics are thoughts of any particular character. The stuff in { } are to indicate the plot scenes' time or area and stuff, so you don't get confused and can track all the scene-jumping!

Enjoy reading and imagining!

Chapter-2

...In the warehouse…

The 'middle brothers' had raced stealthily into the warehouse, and both were in a fairly disturbed mood. Raph was mad because 'Fearless' and 'Knucklehead' were wasting time up there; when they should be in here, taking the enemy down. In the warehouse Bebop and Rocksteady, along with a few Footbots, were packing crates in trucks, which were sure to be taken to Shredder. And even though he'll never say it, Raph was worried about his little brother too. Just a bit. But he ignored it to concentrate on the upcoming battle, one he was wholly looking forward to.

Donnie on the other hand was more annoyed and frustrated than anything. His thoughts would drift back to the abandoned chemicals in his sanctuary, and, mostly Mikey. Half of him didn't even want to think about him, and then again, what the heck was wrong with that shellbrain? He was acting weirder than usual, and this was pissing Donnie off to new levels. _First, he comes and almost makes me spill my chemicals on me, then gives me away at Tag, and now this!?_ Donnie thought angrily, as he glared around the warehouse. He met Raph's eyes midway, and both held the same questioning glare; Where the heck are Leo and Mikey?

Just then four Footbots came in caring a huge crate and Raph just didn't like the look of it. If we wait any longer, they'll drive away! And when Leo still didn't make an entrance, Raph had had enough. Though he did spare a look at Donnie, who was looking absolutely ready to blow a gasket. Their blazing eyes met yet again, and with a short nod, they jumped upon the closest robots, in a not-so-stealthy manner.

{Leo's part!}...

The sounds of clashing weapons echoed from the warehouse, and Leo sped up. But as he was about to jump into the fray, two Footbots landed right on his shell. He was slightly surprised, mentally chastising himself for not being aware of his surroundings, even as he easily destroyed the robots. But a thought quickly avoided his mind from guilt-tripping; how can I focus on my surroundings if half my head is on Mikey? A spark of irritation and worry lit in him remembering his little brother, but the irritation soon dominated as more Footbots swarmed around him. And thus, he too was forced to focus on the battle.

Leo's aim was to get into the warehouse to help his brothers. And being Leonardo, he found his way inside in just a few minutes. Once inside he saw Raph engaged with Rocksteady and Donnie with some Footbots, a huge scowl on his face. He also noticed that Bebop was trying to sneak up on Don. Gotcha; Leo thought smirking, as he charged towards the mutant pig, barreling right into him when he was going to shoot his lasers at Donnie. Donnie turned back at the sound and met Leo's eyes, and soon putting two and two together he smirked slightly at his oldest brother who smirked right back. But Donnie soon had to focus on the Footbots attacking him. Leo spared a glance at his second youngest brother, who still had that scowl on his face, but looked pretty content with losing some of that pent-up frustration, fighting energetically. Leo let him be, knowing Donnie needed this after continuously grumbling all night.

Then Leo heard Raph roar and decided to join him. Running straight up and springing of the wall, Leo jumped on the huge mutated man-turned-rhino, who gave a startled shout. Raph ducked during this distraction, narrowly avoiding Rocksteady's hammer. The next second he found Leo beside him, and for a millisecond wondered where Mikey was. As the hammer slammed again, Leo caught in with his blades and pushed the rhino back sending him stumbling. The Big Brothers' eyes meet throwing each other a snarly grin; Raph's eyes a tad bit softer sending Leo a silent Thank you, which Leo accepted with bright eyes, obviously feeling happy. When Rocksteady roared again, they both jumped back into battle with matching smirks… Mikey completely forgotten.

{Wondering where Mikey's been all this time? Well let's back up a bit, where Raph and Donnie just jump into the fight… or Leo jumps of the roof.}...

Michelangelo watched his oldest brother race off, leaving him behind on the roof of that warehouse, alone, without even bothering to look back. Mikey knew he was easily distracted, and that was a problem now more than ever. His thoughts were divided as follows: One: He was still doubting himself, Should I really trust my gut here? Two: Why couldn't his brothers listen to him for once? And Three… What the heck am I gonna do?!

When Mikey felt like he was going to have a panic attack with soo many thoughts running around, he took a deep breath in, just like Master Splinter had told him… all the way back in the woods, during their 'Vision Quest'. "Michelangelo, your mind is overrun with distractions. Learn to be strong and calm, like the forest." Strong and calm like the forest; be like the forest. Mikey repeated, and successfully calmed down in minutes. Now he was completely serious, confident, and ready to take on anything. No goofing off now!

Thus, he stood there in the shadows, watching and analyzing everything that was going on. So, one thing is obvious: this is definitely a trap. The Foot must be trying to lure us inside the warehouse and maybe blow it up. Whatever it is, it's big. It's a TRAP. Gotta be prepared. And geez, those cartons look empty, how didn't Leo realize that! The orange banded turtle was getting worried now, and scowled. I also know that my brothers won't listen to me, so there's no way we can flip outta here without a fight. Mikey signed, already hearing the noises of a fight going on. Okay. Go in full ninja mode, strike hard n' fast, and get out; with everyone!

Even as he jumped down the roof and started running towards the 'Warehouse of Doom', he already knew that the night had only begun. And yet a last thought lingered in Mikey's head... What the heck can I do to get them to listen once!?
