Donettello opened his eyes slowly. He felt horrible. Where was he? He blinked several times, and looked around at the cell he was in from the floor. Then he remembered, and his stomache dropped and his mind flared. Emily. He yelled loudly, in his frustration and desperation. He had almost saved her, but he had blown it. "Donettello, be quiet!" Don looked down and saw Usagi leaning against the wall, staring up at him. "U-Usagi? What happened? I feel horrible..." Don said to him, noticing his voice sounded weak, and quieter than usuall. "We have been poisened, Donettello-San." mumbled Usagi, and Don nearly collapsed again. "Poisened? Well...how did that happen?" Usagi shrugged, and Don put his head in his hands. "How will we help Emily now? There is no way we can get out of this cell, Usagi. It's impossible." Usagi looked up suddenly, and glared. "NOTHING is impossible, Donettello. It is not the situation or the state of it that makes it impossible. It is the being that is trying to achieve it that makes it impossible. You are the one that decides if it is impossible or not. You want to help Emily, don't you?" Don nodded slowly, staring at the wall outside the cell. "You love her, don't you Donettello?" Don nodded a bit quicker, and sat up a bit straighter. "Then, is it impossible?" Don smiled, and shook his head surly. "No, it isn't impossible. We WILL get out of this cell, some way or another. Somehow, we will save Emily!"
WITH LEO
Nicole and Jeniffer had found a hiding place on the other side of the temple. There was a pile of rocks there, and they hid behind those. Now, they sat behind it, Leo lying on the ground with Nicole watching over him. Jeniffer was leaning against the rock next to Chris, who was holding Sasha in his lap and whispering reassuring words to all three girls. Suddenly, Nicky heard Leo groan quietly, and looked down. "Leo?" Slowly Leo's eyes opened, and he blinked. "Leo! You're okay!" Leo smiled slightly, and winced in pain. "Yeah, I'm just...wonderful. I fall from heights like that...a-all the time..." He whispered, and Nicole put a finger on his lips. "Quiet. You're very hurt." "Really? I didn't notice." groaned Leo, and Nicky rolled her eyes. Jen grinned. "Hey Leo. Hang in there, bro." Leo closed his eyes and sighed. "I'm hangin, I'm hangin." he said, and Jen smiled.
WITH RAPH
Raph and Katie inched along the long wall, towards the guarded door. Raph turned to Kate. "All right, babe. Stay silent, and close behind me. I'll-WOAH!" A guard appeared right in front of him, and he jumped back. "Who dares to tresspass?" the guard growled, and Raphael drew his sais. "Bring it on, buddy." he snarled, and the guard drew his large sword. Raph inwardly cowered as he eyed the blade that was even taller than he was. He glared at the guard though, and jabbed his sai at the guard's chest. He missed, and stumbled and nearly fell forward. Then, he got a nice whack on his shell, and fell to his knees. He growled agrilly, and flipped backwards, kicking the guard in the jaw and knocking him cold. "Ha!" he taunted at the unconscious guard, "I don't think so!" Katie shook her head, and motioned him towords the door. As she tried to open it she said, "It's probably-" It opened, and her and Raph stared down the dark hallway. "Locked..." she finished, and Raph led the way down the hallway.
WITH MIKEY
Linda gasped as she saw Mikey go out cold. "MIKEY!" screamed Kristin. "What's wrong with him!" yelled Josh, and Linda grunted as she struggled to keep hold of her twin. "It's his...head injury!" Linda told them, and nearly slipped and fell. With Mike being unconscious, it was now going to be twice the effort to get him out of the quicksand. Josh grabbed Linda around her waist before she fell into the quicksand, and helped her pull. "Come on, Kris!" Josh yelled, and Kristin scurried to them. She put her arms around her brother's waist and helped him and Linda pull Mikey out of the quicksand.
When they finally got Mike free, they put him down on the ground. Kristin put her ear to his chest. "He's breathing." she confirmed, and Linda let out a sigh of relief. "What do we do now?" Kristin asked Josh. "We wait for Mikey to wake up, and then we make our way to the temple." said Josh grimly, staring at the ground. Kristin sighed, and looked down at Mikey, who's eyes were shut tight. She put her hand on top of his, and nodded.
WITH JEN
Jeniffer peeked out from behind the rocks to check if there were any guards. She gasped as she saw that there were four right in front of the rocks they were hiding in front of. She hid back behind the rocks, and gave Nicole and Chris a stare that said, "We're in biiiiig trouble!" Nicole peeked in front of the rocks too, and came back quickly with the same wide eyed expression as Jeniffer had. Jen shrugged, which meant ," So, what do we do, Nicole?" Nicole thought for a moment, and then smiled as she got an idea. She reached inside Leo's belt, and took out a shuriken. She stood up slowly, and Jen threw her arms about violantly as if to say, "What are you doing!" Nicole held her breath, and thanked goodness that the guards had their backs turned. She raised the shuriken slowly, and then swung it down and across, slicing all three guard's necks in a row. The three guards slumped to the ground, dead. "Nice one, Nicky!" commented Chris, and Jen clapped quietly. Chris and Nicole bent down and put both Leo's arms around their necks. Jeniffer picked up Sasha and kissed her head to calm her down. "All right, so how do we get in now?" asked Nicole. "What do ya think about goin' in the window, huh Leo?" joked Jen, and Leo and Nicole scowled at her. "What? It was a joke!" said Jen, and Nicole continued to glare at her as she and Chris helped Leo walk, and they continued to search for a way into the temple.
WITH KARA
Kara uncovered her head and looked up. She felt like putting her head back down and going into a fetal position. All of the trees around them were in flames! Derik looked up too, and Kara could almost see his heart plummeting. "Oh, shell..." Derik mumbled, and Kara nodded in agreement. Derik grabbed Kara around her waist and rolled out of the way of a burning branch falling down. Kara coughed as she breathed smoke. "Rik! What do we do?" she coughed, and Derik covered his mouth, looking around. He saw a way out under a burning log. "Under that log!" he yelled, and Kara blinked. "THAT log!" she exclaimed, as Derik grabbed her hand and ran for the log. Jillian followed right behind them, clutching Kara's other hand. "One my signal, roll under the log!" Derik ordered, and Kara bit her lip. "One...two...three...ROLL!" Kara snatched Jill into her arms and rolled under the log, bumping her head on the ground as she did.
She stopped rolling suddenly, and landed sprawled on the ground, Jillian and Derik beside her. Derik scrambled up, and started running. "Kara, get up! We have to run before the fire spreads this way!" he said frantically, grabbing Kara's hand and putting Jill on his shoulders. Kara got up quickly and her and Derik sprinted away from the fire, stumbling over roots and stray branches as they went.
WITH ERICA
After her and Gary jumped right through the flames, Erica tumbled to the ground, rolling across the ground until she stopped, skidding on the ground. She coughed and spat some dirt out of her mouth, and looked to the side at Gary. "Gary? You okay?" A sigh told Erica that Gary was fine. She got up, and winced as she felt burns on her arms and bare legs. "Maybe it wasn't a good idea to wear a skirt and tank top on this trip, huh?" asked Erica, and Gary smiled weakly, and sat up too. "You okay?" he asked her, and she nodded, dusting herself off. Gary got up quickly. "Quick, get up! The fire's going to spread, come on!" Gary snatched Erica's hand and pulled her up, Hannah holding onto Erica's hand as she went. "Hurry, let's go!" Erica said, gripping Hannah's hand tightly and running away from the fire behind Derik.
