Chapter two: So, it begins

Authors note: I want to thank Glazier Blue and Silver Sentinel for helping me with ideas and figuring out what I should do with my story, go and read their stories because they are amazing! Thank you Glazier Blue and Silver Sentinel. I hope you enjoy; you may leave a review and tell me what you think.

April sat next to Donnie, he laid lifeless on the couch as she continued to hold his hand in her own, she had only been in the lair for a few minutes and already didn't like how Donnie looked, his face was pale and she couldn't find a cut anywhere in his mouth to explain the blood that kept pouring out, she didn't understand how he could have fallen ill, she was here yesterday and Donnie had seemed fine. She didn't know what was wrong with him let alone where to begin, the more she thought about Donnie's condition the more her mind went dark, bad thoughts crept their way into her mind.

(Could it be a really bad flu, no it wouldn't be the flu his condition is too bad, cancer….no.. no it couldn't be cancer, why am I thinking that, now how do I explain the weird mole on his neck and the change of colour around his face and literally everything else, uuggghhh it's useless) April stared down at her hand and then at Donnie's wrist, she swore it seemed smaller than the last time she saw him, his body also looked thinner, had Donnie gotten skinnier, no she needed to stop this, this awful train of thought stopped now.

"I don't know what's wrong guys, it might be a very bad flu but half of his other symptoms don't match up to anything, you'll just have to keep an eye on him. I have to get going anyway, I have a lot of homework I need to catch up on so I'll see you guys later".

"Thanks April", Leo waved goodbye to April as she exited the lair, she couldn't even look back at them, she felt bad that she didn't know what was wrong with Donnie, she wanted to help but what could she do. As April left each brother searched their thoughts, they were trying to figure out how Donnie could have fallen ill. They needed to try and stay calm and piece it together, but it's hard to be calm and focus when your brother is really sick and you don't know why or how he got like that, they were lost.

Raph was sitting on the floor leaning up against the couch, he could barely keep his eyes open, he was so tired from the long day of training and patrolling, his muscles were killing him. He tried to relax but he couldn't stop thinking about what he could have done to help his younger brother, he couldn't believe he had just stood there and watched, what was he thinking, how could he not have seen the state Donnie was in.

(Dam it Raph, why couldn't you have done something, you're his brother, maybe you're the dumb one for once, I got to get out of here).

Mikey couldn't stand the silence, he had to say something, so he was the first to speak as usual. "Guys we have to do something, we can't just sit here, we need to know what's wrong with him" a nervous tone was heard by his brothers, Mikey was really concerned.

"Mikey, we don't even know what's wrong with him, how do you expect us to figure it out", Raph snapped back at his brother, he was clearly angry, but why was he angry, he isn't the one sick. Raph somehow felt guilty about his actions, he felt guilty about a lot of things but this somehow hit him hard, he had to get out of there before any of his brothers could notice, he stood up and left. As he walked towards his room he left all his guilt behind him, he didn't need that right now, he didn't need to look weak in front of any of them, he was to tough to show any weakness.

"Call me when Donnie wakes up".

Leo watched as Raph left and stormed to his room, a few seconds after Mikey left towards the kitchen. Leo was the only one left watching over his sick brother.

He kneeled next to Donnie, he didn't know how to feel about the situation, how had Donnie become ill? He was fine when they were out on patrol, why did he just go downhill so quickly, as his thoughts raced through his head he was interrupted by the girl's cough's, Leo looked over at her, he saw she was continuing to struggle in her chains and was trying to loosen them. They had totally forgotten she was there, what where they going to do with her?

Leo still couldn't believe what she had tried to do, "Why do you listen to him". No answer came from her, she just looked at the floor and continued to struggle, but as she continued her muscles started to hurt, she got tried quickly and she rested her head on the couch, Leo stood up and asked her again, this time with a more threatening voice.

"Why do you Listen to him", "why do you do it", after a minute of him continuously asking she froze in her spot, she was a statue, not one flinch as Leo moved closer, she looked up at him and a grin appeared on her face, she didn't say a word to him, she just grinned, her teeth were bright white and she looked evil. Leo felt nervous and very uneasy at the girl, why was she so creepy and unnatural, something seemed off about her. A hand touched Leo's shoulder, as the cold hand contacted with his skin he jumped at the touch.

"Woah Leo it's just me bro", Mikey gave him a small smile.

"Hey Mikey".

"Leo come sit down and eat bro, leave Donnie to rest, he'll be fine, I know it". Mikey gave one of his big smiles and guided Leo to the couch, Leo looked back to the girl who was still smiling, as they got further away the more she seemed to be laughing. Mikey sat Leo on the couch as he handed him a plate that was full of the only thing they ever ate, PIZZA. Mikey knocked on Raph's door to tell him they were about to start watching the new movie, they both walked over and Raph grabbed his plate, the family sat down and watched the 1st season of Mikey's new favourite show, KitKat and the deadly 6, there was no way they were going to get out of watching this.

In the dojo Master splinter was preparing to meditate, he walked over to his room and pulled out packets of incense from a small draw, he had labelled the incense for what their properties were, he wanted to relax and calm his mind, he scanned over the incense until he stopped on the one he wanted.

Sandalwood for Serenity, Jasmine for Improved Mood, Lavender for Better Sleep, Pine for Calming the Mind, Chamomile for Contentment and lemon grass for Inspiration, he lit a pine incense, the smell swirled around the room as splinter and blew out the flame. He took a big breath of pine and sat down into his meditative position, his breaths were steady and he seemed calm, until he kept being distracted by a small voice in the back of his mind, the voice would not leave no matter how hard Splinter tried to ignore it, Splinter made out two words as the voice spoke again.

"He's mine".

Splinter tried harder to focus and leave the voice in the dark space of his mine, he took another big breath, the smell filled his nose as it entered his lungs, the voice grew louder with every breath, so loud that it sounded like someone was directly next to him.

"HE'S MINE".

Splinter opened his eyes to check if one of his sons were annoying him, Mainly Michelangelo, to his surprise no one was there, he was completely alone and undisturbed. He stared out the dojo, he could hear his three sons sitting watching tv, they were laughing and talking about their thoughts on the new show, Splinter closed his eyes once more, he breathed in the incense again and listened to every noise his ears could focus on, the leaves of the tree, his sons talking, the floor boards creaking form underneath him, the pipes rattling, his own breaths all the sounds of the world came to him. As the voice progressed Splinter had given up trying to meditate and was only trying to listen to what the voice was saying to him, he sat in silence listening, but the voice was dying back down, the last thing splinter heard before the voice totally disappeared was.

"He can't escape me".

Splinters senses were tingling and he felt on edge, his ear twitched, his eyes wide open and his body was stiff, all his muscles tightened; splinter could feel something was wrong, or that something was coming, he had to check on his sons, he grabbed his cane and pulled himself to his feet, he slowly walked out of the dojo to join his three sons, he stood behind them with concern visible on his face. The three-boys looked up at him and Leo stood from his spot.

"Is something wrong sensei", Leonardo was concerned with his father's expression.

"No my son", Splinter cleared his face of all emotions and gestured for his son to sit back down, Splinters expression's maybe fine but his thoughts were racing, just like his son's were.

The boys turned back to the tv as splinter stared over at his unconscious son Donatello, he walked over slowly and stood over him, he saw he was twitching and could see his neck had become swollen, Splinter took no notice as he thought it was because his son had fallen very ill. Splinter leaned down to his son and touched his face with his old hand, he ran his hand along Donatello's face, he stopped moving and Splinter removed his hand, Splinter looked at his son one more time before walking back behind his other sons.

"So master splinter do you think Donnie will be okay", Leo turned from the tv to face his concerned father, he wanted a good answer from his sensei, he wanted to know his brother would be okay, but Splinter didn't help with his anxiety.

"I do not know my son, but we shall wait and see, only time will tell, I am off to meditate, see yourselves to bed, we have early training tomorrow".

The three brothers groaned at the thought of getting up early, they would rather stay up and watch tv, preferably not Mikey's show but just some tv. Their sensei retreated to the dojo as his concerns for his son followed, Mikey stood up and announced he had an idea, a smirk had appeared, but he hid it under a normal smile.

"Dudes, I have an idea, what if I poke Donnie and see if he will wake up, then we will know he is okay and everything will be fine".

Leo glared at Mikey and Mikey sat back down into his spot on the couch and remained quiet, the look on Leo's face had said it all. "Mikey DON'T YOU DARE". A smile slowly made its way across Mikey's face as he thought of a plan to poke Donnie appeared in his head.

"Yo, bros who wants Popcorn before we start the next ep".

They both replied with a quick yes, their eyes never leaving the screen. Mikey leaped off the couch and headed to the kitchen, the brothers were too distracted by the tv to have noticed Mikey had made his way silently over to Donnie's side, Mikey stared down at his unconscious brother and licked his finger. He then Pointed it at Donnie and slowly put his hand to Donnie's skin and pushed hard against his cheek. Nothing happened but he shouldn't have done it again. As Mikey Poked Donnie, his eyes snapped open, he Backflipped over the couch into a fighting position with his hands up ready to punch whoever he thought was attacking him.

Donnie couldn't see a thing; his vision was blurry and he felt sick, he stood up straight as sickness enter his body, it was like he had woken up to fast, he was most likely going to puke. Donnie stared around the room, he didn't know where he was and his heart was beating at 100 miles per hour, the taste of blood filed his mouth, he spat some blood on the floor never once taking his eyes off the blurry figure.

"Woah dude calm down it's just me". Mikey whispered as to not alert his brothers, he had disobeyed Leo and knew he would be in trouble.

Donnie glared at Mikey with anger across his face, he hadn't realised it was Mikey, he was a little scared by the blurry figure standing in front of him, where was he, was he with his brothers, he didn't know.

"STAY BACK, I WILL HURT YOU".

The screaming caught the other's attention, they all stared over as Donnie had cornered himself. The two oldest sons stood up from the couch and walked over beside Mikey, Leo held out his hands and tried to walk over to Donnie, but Donnie swung at him, his face full of rage and his eye narrowed at him. This had made him jump back, Raph on the other hand just laughed, he tried next but Donnie did the same thing.

"Don what the shell are you doing, it's us".

Donnie found himself in a blurry world, his senses were messed up and he couldn't hear or see anything, why was he here, why couldn't he see. They all walked forward but Donnie only became more violent, he tried to kick and punch at them, Raph had had enough and was becoming enraged by this pathetic attempt to stop them. He grabbed Donnie's hand as he went to punch, Raph flipped Donnie onto his plastron and pinned him down to the floor, his knee dug into Donnie's shell as he groaned in pain. Donnie could feel a little of his shell crack under all the pressure of Raph's knee.

"agh".

"Raph your hurting him", Leo tried to pull Raph away and free his sick brother but Raph just swatted Leo's hand and pushed his knee in even more.

"He needs to be calm before I let him go, or else he will just keep swinging and then I'll get angry".

After a minute of Donnie struggling and trying to free himself, he placed his face onto the floor and closed his eyes, as his vision cleared up he could see Mikey's face slowly appear with every blink, when his vision had fully cleared, he could see Mikey was so close that he had to cough at his breath.

"ahem, can you get off, I can't breathe".

"Sorry dude", Mikey looked at Raph and gave him a look to let him know, Donnie was fine to let go, Raph released the pressure of his brother's back and Leo helped him up.

As Leo helped Donnie to his feet, he was surprised. (geez I think Donnie's lost some weight, he's really light, was he always this light).

"What the heck is going on, where am I"?

"Dude you're in the lair, we brought you home after you collapsed in the tunnel". Mikey's smile faded as the horrid images flooded back into his mind and the guilt came back.

"We were worried Donnie", Leo smiled as his brother stared around at them.

All the memory's started to race back into Donnie's mind, the part where he got hit with something, the part where he got a pain in his neck and the part where he asked his brother for help, he remembered it all. His head started to spin even more, his eyes were frozen open by force, he couldn't blink, he felt the dizziness take over, even though Leo was supporting him he fell and almost hit his head, but his other brothers helped to keep him up, they put him onto his knees.

"Easy Don you need to rest, your still sick", Raph stared at Donnie with concern in his eyes but didn't show it when Donnie looked over at him.

Donnie could feel he was going to be sick; he could feel something making its way up his throat, he tried to keep it contained but it wasn't enough effort, more blood filled his mouth. His mouth was forced open as a river of puke came spewing out of his mouth, it went all over and didn't stop for a minute, even though it was puke that wasn't what made the three brothers sick to their core. Only 20% of it was actual puke, the rest was just plain BLOOD!, why was it blood, was Donnie internally hurt, how had this happened, the Blood had drained even more colour from Donnie's face, The brothers couldn't move as their sibling sat on his knees, still throwing up more blood, they felt white as a sheet, they could only stare as the blood started to spread across the floor, it was just a river of red, no words came out as Donnie tried to stand, he had finished puking and was very disorientated he stumbled and nearly feel into his own blood, but Raph had snapped back and caught him in time.

He helped him over to the couch, being aware of where he stepped, Mikey ran to get sensei and a mop and Raph could feel as if he was going to be sick too, he needed to get away from the blood.

"Don you hungry, I'll get you something", Raph quickly walked away and didn't look back.

Donnie now found himself not being able to remember anything from the past few weeks.

"Don are you okay". Leo sat next to his brother and put an arm around him.

"To be honest Leo, I…..i…..i just feel like sleeping, I hate this feeling". Each word was painful, but Donnie continued on.

"Donnie feeling sick is normal it's fine".

"That's not…..what I meant".

Leo stared at him in confusion, what was he talking about, what did he mean that's not what he meant?

"Well what do you mean?"

"I mean….it's just….never mind". Donnie stared at the floor.

Day's went past and all had seem to go back to normal, splinter had checked Donnie over for any injury's and had found nothing but a weird mark on his neck, the little girl had been put in a small room where she was monitored and feed. Donnie was still sick but started training again, the brothers woke up early for training, they had eaten cereal and some toast before entering the dojo with their weapons. They sat down as splinter explained what would happen.

"My sons todays training I will be pairing you up, you will be sparring".

The sons hated when Sensei picked who they had to spar with, well mainly the two younger ones as they knew they would have to battle either Leo or Raph, and it never ended well for them.

"Raphael and Donatello you two will be together, Michelangelo and Leonardo you two go together, hasemy".

"So, Don you ready for me to kick your butt or should I go easy on you since your still sick".

As Donnie got into position he could feel a weird sensation go through his neck, it stung but it disappeared as his thoughts started to race, he felt strange. Donnie glared at his brother and his feet shifted as he felt a new wave of confidence washed over him. This didn't frighten Raph one bit, but it should have.

"Why go easy on me Raph when you'll be the one on the floor in two seconds".

"OOOHHHHH, so were smack talking now are we, alright Don lets go, your about to taste the floor".

"Bring it Raph".

Raph had his sais next to him and Donnie usually held is staff in front of him with two hands, but this time something had changed, Donnie had moved so his staff was behind him being held with one hand. Raph laughed and they were off, the four sons battling their partner's, weapons clashing, and punches being thrown, it was like a food fight but with weapons. As usual Mikey was the first out, he had been kicked in the face and then punched into the wall. Mikey could feel his breakfast coming up, leftover pizza and toast. Mikey sat off to the side and tried to keep the food down as he continued to watch his brothers fight.

Leo Ran for Donnie as he knew Raph would take him out, but to Leo's surprise Raph fell to his feet and was lying on the floor in pain, Donnie stood inches away staring down at his first victory over Raph. splinter and everyone around him were surprised, he had just beaten Raph, the strongest in the family, these training sessions never really went like this.

FLASH BACK

"My sons you may choose who you spar with, weapons only no hand or feet techniques, Raphael".

Raph looked around to see how he felt, he was in a winning mode today, as he stared around the room his eyes came to Donnie, Donnie had also seemed to be in a good mood until Raph opened his mouth.

"Sensei I would love to take Donnie".

Donnie sighed and his smile faded, he knew what was coming, he was going to be face first in the ground and probably wake up tomorrow bruised, he was actually having a good day, until Raph came along. The four sons got into position and grabbed their weapons.

"Psssst Donnie if you give up now I won't hurt you".

"Really".

"NO".

Splinter looked at his sons, "hasemy".

Raph ran straight at Donnie with fury in his eyes, his sais were up and Donnie looked nervous as he approached, their weapons met and they clanged them together, Raph was pushed back by Donnie's Staff but that only added to Raph's fury, this time they both charged as they met eye to eye, it was like looking into someone's soul, they had gotten to close and Donnie head budded Raph.

"Ahhhh", Raph's head spun as he stumbled back, the room was spinning as he tried to re- focus, but it was hard with the constant banging in his head (Come one Raph, are you going to let Donnie win, no he can't win, focus, that Brainiac isn't as good as you, your better).

Donnie got the upper hand as he started to push Raph to the floor, but as usual Donnie's thoughts got too Cocky and he didn't pay attention. (OHHH MY SHELL, I could actually win, I could actually beat Raph, he won't call me weak then at least). While Donnie was listening to himself brag, Raph had an idea. He moved all the pressure onto his back leg and with his front swept Donnie's leg from underneath him, Donnie fell on top of Raph and Raph pushed him over his head with his feet. Donnie had lost, he sat of to the side and Mikey gave him a pat on the back.

"Nice try dude you'll get him next time".

Donnie gave a fake smile to Mikey and did a pretty good job at hiding his disappointment, he almost had Raph, but he got too cocky once again. After training Raph walked up to Donnie as they were leaving and stooped down to a new level of pity.

"Good job Don you almost had me, maybe next time baby bro", He mocked Donnie in a baby voice and gave a fake smile, he walked away and couldn't help but snicker at himself, Donnie wasn't fooled by his nice language and fake smile, he saw right through Raph like a piece of glass, he knew Raph thought he was weak, Raph walked to the tv to play videogames with Mikey and as usual Donnie retreated to the lab and started to doubt himself as a ninja, he felt worthless, was he even that good of a ninja, he didn't know.

FLASH BACK ENDS

Donnie and Leo squared off and they stared right at each other.

Leo's thoughts were running through his mind like a race track. (Damn if I'm not careful Donnie could actually take me out, but how did he beat Raph? he's cheating, he's got some type of machine on him, well Donnie I'm not fooled).

"Woah you actually beat Raph, Donnie I'm surprised, but you do know I am going to beat you, so here's the deal you can walk out of this, or it will end real bad for you", Donnie didn't say a word and his eyes narrowed as the room went silent, he sneered at Leo's question, the look on his face was almost disgust.

(Come on Donnie you can beat him, he isn't as good as he says, you beat Raph so you can beat him) Both brothers hyped themselves up and Leo shrugged.

"haysemey".

Leo ran at Donnie as he held is weapons above his head getting ready to attack, Donnie didn't move, the closer Leo got to Donnie the more he seemed to be frozen, when Leo was about to strike Donnie moved out of the way and pulled one of Leo's swords right out of his hand and tossed it across the room, as it went flying across the room it got lodged into the wall, Leo just stared at Donnie gobbed smacked, he got his head back into Ninja mode and ran at Donnie with his one remaining Katana, he jumped up in the air and started a flying side kick towards him, but Donnie had a plan, he grabbed Leo's leg and dragged him to the floor, Leo's face hit the floor like a rock in water, he could almost taste the floor, Wood, dust and sweat all combined into one nasty tasting flavour, Donnie must have hit him hard because Leo already had a bruise forming. He then threw Leo into the air and kicked him into the wall with a nice clean side kick to his face, Leo's shell hit the wall and he screamed.

"AAAGGGGHHHHH", Leo was in pain but just like all the brothers he didn't want to seem weak, so he hid it with a muffled groan.

Donnie froze in his spot as his thoughts were let loose.

(OMS I DID IT…DID I JUST….NO I COULDN'T HAVE…..WAIT I DID, OH MY SHELL) everyone stared at Donnie with amazement, how had he beaten the best fighter in the family, he went from being one of the worse to being the best, Leo slowly stood up and was dumb founded by the fact that Donnie had just beaten him in combat, the one thing he wasn't good at.

Mikey approached Donnie, "Bro how did you do"?

"I…..I don't know"? Donnie could still feel the sensation in his neck, it had started in his neck but was now everywhere throughout his body.

Sensei walked over to his sons and ordered them to stand ready for their next sparring partner. "Raphael and Leonardo you are together, Michelangelo and Donatello you two are together, haysemey".

"Dude Donnie how did you beat Leo", Mikey eyes were full of wonder and awe, his third older brother had beaten Leo, could he do that?

Donnie didn't say anything, he just stared at Mikey with a look of concentration, Mikey stared back and charged at him, trying to copy Donnie's moves.

"Dude are you going to answer me", Mikey said in a whisper as he didn't want to seem angry.

"Mikey can we not talk and just keep sparring", Donnie swept Mikey's leg and went to hit him, but Mikey rolled out of the way and flipped back onto his feet.

"But Donnie, why don't you want to talk, you never cared about sparring".

"MIKEY!" Donnie's narrowed his eyes, and something took over, the sensation in his neck grew and it was now burning, he was annoyed with all the chatting Mikey was doing, why couldn't he just shut up, Donnie felt some rage take over, he was so hyped on adrenaline that he hadn't been watching what he was doing, Donnie squeezed his bo-staff, he squeezed it so hard that the blade came out and ran across Mikey's face, the cut was smooth and only just missed his eye.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH"!

Sensei and the two older brothers stopped and stared over at Mikey who was lying on the floor in pain. They saw a single drop of blood drip from Donnie's bo staff, Donnie Looked at his staff and flung it across the room in shock, he kneeled down to his brother and moved his hand away from his face, the cut wasn't bad, but Mikey was crying.

"Mikey I'm so sorry, I wasn't watching what I was doing".

"What the SHELL DUDE"!

Leo looked down at his younger brothers. "Guys what happened"?

"What does it look like bro Donnie cut my face".

"Dude I'm really sorry, I didn't mean…It was a…..I'm sorry".

Splinter crept up behind his son's "Donatello take your brother and clean him up, Raphael and Leonardo you may resume" Splinter pointed at the door as his two youngest exited.

Donnie helped his brother up and escorted him to his lab, where he sat Mikey down. On the way to the lab Mikey looked over at the room where they had kept the little girl, he saw the doors were open and the little girl was gone, she had escaped. Mikey didn't say anything about it, he was more concentrated on the throbbing pain in his cheek .

"Okay now Mikey we need to wash the cut out to make sure there's no dirt in there".

Donnie walked over to his sink and ran a cloth under warm water, he then applied it to Mikey's face and rubbed it from side to side to make sure no dirt or debri was in the cut, he went over to his cupboard and went searching for a bottle with the word sterile saline on the label, he found the sterile saline and walked over to Mikey while trying to take the lid off, he poured the saline onto his cloth and placed it near Mikey face, Mikey's hand stopped him as he stared up at Donnie.

"Donnie, is it goanna hurt?"

"It'll sting for a bit but then you'll feel much better after", he went to place it on his face again when Mikey held his hand back with even more force than he had before.

"Donnie, you didn't do it on purpose did you, I know you wouldn't, right"?

"Mikey why would you think that"?

"I don't know you just looked different that's all".

"Mikey I'm sorry, I wasn't focused, just let me help you", Mikey nodded as Donnie applied pressure to the wound. Mikey groaned as the chemical hit his skin, it burned, Mikey started to freak out, his heart was beating at a million miles per hour.

(OMS AM I GONNA DIE, WHY DOES IT HURT SO MUCH, DOES DONNIE WANT IT TO HURT, WHY DOES IT STING, MAKE IT STOP, MAKE IT STOP)!

Donnie Applied more saline to make sure the wound was clean, he didn't want any dirt left in the wound or it could get infected.

"Donnie it hurts, can you take it off".

Mikey's eyes watered and a tear fell down his cheek staining his mask, Donnie looked at him and felt is stomach turn, the guilt crossed his face as he just stood there and waited for the last of the saline to finish it's job.

"Just a few more second Mikey than I can wipe it off okay".

"DONNY PLEASE, just take it off, it hurts to much".

Another tear fell and Donnie removed the saline with his cloth, he threw it into the sink and he brought his brother into a hug.

"Mikey it's over now, it's all over", Mikey smiled as he felt his brothers warm embrace, it made him feel safe.

Donnie removed Mikey from his arms and walked over to his first aid kit to get a bandage, he reached the kit but froze in his spot, he was about to open it but his hand started to shake and he couldn't move, his muscles hand tightened and his eyes were glued to the floor, why couldn't he move, why was he compelled to stand still.

"Donnie? Donnie what are you doing"?

No reply came as Donnie just stood there in silence.

"Donnie"?

He snapped back to reality when his name was called, he continued to look for the right bandage like nothing had happened. He walked over to Mikey and placed the bandage on the wound, he smiled at Mikey and stood him up out of the chair.

"See all better, now I'm goanna go wash my face off, I'll meet you back at the dojo", Mikey nodded and they walked off into different directions. Mikey skipped back into the dojo with a smile and splinter acknowledge his arrival.

"Michelangelo where is your brother"?

"He's in the bathroom sensei, he wanted to wash his face, he should be back in a minute".

"How is your cut my son"?

"All good sensei".

Mikey sat off to the side as Leo and Raph continued to fight, they flew around the room and clashed weapons.

Raph could still feel Donnie's blow from earlier, he was still a little winded and this sparring against Leo wasn't helping.

(Dam, Donnie got me good, I'm still out of breath).

After a minute Leo had won the fight with a blow to Raph's gut, Raph laid on his shell with his hand behind his neck, he took one giant breath as he tried to breath.

The three sons bowed to Splinter and walked off to the side to chat to one another. They told each other how they thought Donnie had beaten them, Mikey was mainly laughing at them. As they were about to leave a sound of agony filled the room and the sons felt a shiver down their spines, Splinter stared around at his three sons, to see where the sound came from.

"AAAAHHHHGGGGGG"!

Mikey stared out the dojo and to the bathroom Donnie had walked into, it had been at least 5 minutes since Donnie had gone to wash his face, did it really take that long?

"What the shell was that".

"DONNIE".

So, it looks like Leo thinks Donnie is cheating, sad he doesn't trust his own brother.
