As soon as Donettello heard the Dameiyo's son say he and Usagi were being sentenced to death, he felt his heart plummet. The crowd cheered and screamed. Don looked up to see the guard next to him holding up a large sword above his head, smirking. Don stared up at him in horror. Pictures of his family rushed through his head. Leo scolding him, Raph yelling at him, Mikey laughing. His sisters fighting. Emily smiling... Suddenly, a green blur flew past Don and toppled over the guard, sending his sword skidding along the floor of the platform. "Raph?" Don asked. Sure enough, the red clad turtle was beating the guard sensless. Then, another green blur rushed past, and skidded to a halt in front of Don and Usagi. "Kate!" Don asked again, now staring at her. "Hey Don. Usagi. We missed you." said Kate, and Don smiled. "Come on, let's get you untied-" Then, Katie was thrown aside by the Dameiyo's son and rolled across the floor. He picked her up by her hair, and she screamed and kicked trying to get free. The Dameiyo's son smirked and took out a dagger, holding it up to Katie's kneck. "Called for help did you, Donettello? Well she history now. Is she your girlfriend, hm?" Raph looked up and growled. Don grinned. "No, she's his." In a flash, Raph had tackled the Dameiyo's son to the ground, and Katie wasset free. She stood up, rubbing the top of her head. Then, she ran over to Usagi and untied him quickly, then ran over to Don and untied him too.
"Thanks Kate!" said Don, and Kate smiled. Then, her smiled faded quickly and her eyes became as big as her smile had been. "DONNY LOOK OUT!" she screamed, and shoved Don to ground before the Dameiyo's son stabbed the back of his neck. Don looked up to see why Raph hadn't kept the Dameiyo's son under controll, and saw him dangling off the platform by one hand. "Raph!" Don yelled, and scrambled up. He started to run for Raph, but the guard that Raph hadn't beat the pulp out of stepped in front of him, a menacing look on his face and a seven foot tall sword in his hand. Don glared and growled, taking out his Bo staff and getting ready to attack. But, the guard made the first move, and a litte too quickly. Before Don relised the guard was even moving, he had been cut across the plastron and thrown to the ground. "KATE!" Don yelled, and Kate looked over at him. She had the Dameiyo's son down for the moment. "RAPH'S GOING TO FALL! I CAN'T GET TO HIM!" he told her. "I'M ON IT!" she assured him, and rushed over to where Raph was dangling, and slipping. She grabbed Raph's hand. "Raph hold on!" she yelled, and Raph grunted as he tried to get his other arm up to hold on to the ledge. Kate gasped as she felt Raphael's hand slipping from her grasp. "Raph! Hang on!" Then, Raph's hand slipped completly out of her's, and he plummeted down. "RAPHAEL!" she cried hopelessly after him. Then, green arms shot out of a window below the platform, and caught Raph in mid fall. "Who in the...?" asked Kate to herself. Leonardo stuck his head out of the window, and gave her the thumbs up. Kate grinned, and gave the thumbs up too.
She turned as she heard her name being called, and ened up face to face with the Dameiyo's son. She shrieked, and ducked as he made to stab her with the dagger. Don growled and smacked the Dameiyo's son in the back with his Bo, sending him flying away from Kate. He almost fell off the platform, but caught himself. He growled menacingly, and flashed his piercing eyes at Don. "Donettello, you will regret this day!" he hissed, and Don rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah, you're all talk." The Dameiyo's son growled louder and charged at him. Don was actually suprised at his speed, but dodged quickly. He winced as he felt his chest sting from the cut across it, but shook his head and ignored it.
But, the Dameiyo's son smirked when he saw this, and smacked Don across the chest with his arm. Don cried out and nearly fell off the platform, but balanced on one foot on the edge. The Dameiyo's son snickered, and tripped him, making Don lose his footing and start to fall. He flung out his arm and snatched the edge of the platform, dangling by one arm. The Dameiyo's son laughing and stood over him. "I really didn't think it would be this easy, Donettello. Silly me." He laughed manically and stepped on Don fingers. Don winced as he felt his fingers crack sickeningly. "Say goodbye, Donettello." Don glared up at him, but then widened his eyes. Something had kicked the Dameiyo's son in the back, and thrown him to the ground. The creature landed on the ground with a soft thud and flipped up it's sandy hair. "Emily!" Don exclaimed, and Emily kicked the Dameiyo in the side. "Don!" she cried, and grabbed his hand. She pulled him up onto the platform again.
Don stared at her. He'd found her, it was really Emily. It felt so wonderful to feel the warmth of her body in his hands again. He gripped her arms lightly, and continued to stare. She looked at little confused, and just stared back. Quite suddenly, he pulled her foreward and kissed her deeply. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his kneck. He ran his hands up and down her waist like he always did. When the kiss ended, they hugged tightly. "Emily, I missed you so much..." Don whispered, tears filling his eyes. "I missed you too..." Emily said in a hushed voice, and they looked at each other. "Don behind you!" she yelled, and Don whipped around just in time to get a punch in the face from the Dameiyo's son. He looked positivly livid, and grabbed Emily's arm tightly, so tight that she cried out and kicked at him.
"SHUT UP YOU STUPID GIRL! YOU WON'T GET AWAY SO EASY!" Emily growled and spat at him, and he threw his other hand around her throat. She choked and kicked, trying to pry his hand away. Don looked up, and glared the most deadly glare that anyone had ever seen from the kind-hearted turtle. "KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" he yelled, and smacked the Dameiyo's son in the side of the head with his Bo Staff. He and Emily tumbled off of the platform, but Don was quick and snatched Emily's hand before she plummeted down with him. He pulled her up slowly, and she hugged him tightly. He ran his hand up and down her back, and kissed her head. "I love you, Don." she cried into his shoulder. "I love you too, Em..."
