Ch 15 A Horrible Situation

April and Karai exchanged looks of both concern and horror as they raced to Shredder's room. But to their surprise it wasn't Michelangelo they saw on the ground. They saw Shredder on the ground with a furious Michelangelo looming over him. "I told you that you weren't going to hurt anyone ever again," Michelangelo growled, glaring down at Shredder's seemingly unconscious body. "And now I'm gonna make damn sure of that!" With that Michelangelo raised a sword that he had picked up off the ground high in the air as he prepared to kill Shredder.

"Mikey no!" April cried out as she and Karai bust into the room.

"April!" Michelangelo cried out, the surprise clear in his voice as he saw his friend and sister there. "Karai! What are you doing here?!"

"Stopping you from making a big mistake!" April declared. "Mikey you can't kill him!"

"And why not?" Michelangelo demanded. "He's done nothing but cause pain and misery. I'll be doing everyone a favor by killing him."

"Mikey," April began. But she didn't get a chance to finish when the sound of Raphael crying out in pain was heard from outside.

"Raph!" the trio cried out, their eyes wide.

"We have to help him!" April cried out as she and Karai began to run out of the room. But to their surprise Michelangelo didn't move.

"Mikey c'mon!" Karai called out. "We need to go now!"

"Not until the job is done," Michelangelo growled. "You two go help Raph. I've got a monster to kill."

"Mikey," April began.

"April there's nothing you can say that's gonna make me change my mind," Michelangelo declared. Just then Shredder began to stir. Michelangelo let out a snarl and hit Shredder in the back of his head, knocking him out once again

"April we don't have time for this!" Karai shouted, grabbing April by her arm and dragging her towards the exit. "Raph needs out help!" With that the two girls were gone, leaving Michelangelo alone with the Shredder.

"Time to end this," Michelangelo said, his voice low and dark. Michelangelo raised the sword. But just then Shredder's eyes flew opened and he quickly swung his fist, blades extended, catching Michelangelo off guard. The blades sliced down Michelangelo's plastron, causing the orange masked turtle to cry out in pain. Shredder quickly got to his feet and struck Michelangelo again, this time landing a direct hit to Michelangelo's head. Michelangelo cried out in pain as the blood flowed down his head. Michelangelo didn't get a chance to fight back as Shredder delivered hit after hit.

"And now," Shredder growled as he loomed over Michelangelo's bloodied form. "You die!" With that Shredder raised his blades and sliced Michelangelo's neck. Satisfied Shredder turned and walked away, leaving Michelangelo to die in his own blood.

Meanwhile Leonardo and Donatello were battling it out with Dog-Pound. The two brothers were having some difficulty due to the fact that Fishface had joined the fight. "What are we going to do Leo?" Donatello asked, panting for breath.

"We fight Donnie," Leonardo said, wiping the blood away from his mouth. "We fight until we have nothing left." Donatello was about to say something when suddenly he was lifted off the ground by Dog-Pound.

"You freaks are pathetic," Dog-Pound growled as he prepared to punch Donatello.

"Donnie!" Leonardo cried out, running to help his younger brother. But Fishface was there and he promptly hit the oldest turtle with his mechanical leg sending his crashing to the ground. Leonardo groaned in pain as he felt the blood trickle down his head. Fishface pressed down hard on Leonardo's shell with his leg.

"Pathetic," the mutant fish scoffed as he pressed harder on Leonardo's shell. As hard as he tried to get away Fishface's weight was too much. Leonardo heard Donatello cry out in pain as Dog-Pound slammed him hard into the ground. This enraged Leonardo. Soon after he heard Raphael cry out in pain as well. Then he heard the pain filled cry of Michelangelo echo through the air.

"No," Leonardo grumbled, the anger and rage boiling up inside of him. "I won't let my brothers die. I won't." With that Leonardo let out a cry of fury and broke free of Fishface's grip, catching him off guard. Wasting no time Leonardo grabbed Fishface by his leg and swung him hard into Dog-Pound, causing both mutants to fall to the ground. Leonardo quickly lept into action and soon the mutants were knocked out cold. "Are you ok Donnie?" Leonardo asked, helping his purple masked brother to his feet.

"Yeah I'm good," Donatello said, rubbing his shell. "But Mikey..."

"I heard," Leonardo said. "Lets go!" With that the two brothers raced inside, both of them hoping they weren't to late to help Michelangelo.

Meanwhile April and Karai had gone to Raphael's rescue. The two females arrived just in time to tackle Tiger Claw to the ground, causing him to drop Raphael in the process. Casey limped over to his injured friend. "Raph?" the dark headed teen cried out, kneeling down beside his red masked friend despite the pain he was feeling in his broken ankle. "Raph can you hear me?" Casey said, shaking Raphael.

"Yeah I hear ya Casey," Raphael groaned. "Quit shakin' me will ya?" Casey instantly stopped shaking Raphael and the two males slowly got to their feet. To their surprise the saw Tiger Claw on the ground, unconscious with a furious April and Karai looming over him.

"That'll teach him," Karai growled as she and April chained the assassin up.

"Are you two alright?" April asked, looking over at Raphael and Casey, who were staring wide eyed at the two females.

"Yeah," Raphael said after a minute. "We're good."

"Great," Karai said. "Now lets..." But she didn't get a chance to finish when Michelangelo's blood chilling cry echoed through the air.

"Mikey!" the group cried out, their eyes wide in horror. With that the group ran as fast as they could into the building. Raphael and Casey were a little slower due to their injuries. As they ran all of them were silently hoping that Michelangelo wasn't hurt or worse.

Leonardo and Donatello raced to help Michelangelo. To their horror they saw Shredder emerging from the room, his blades covered in blood. The two brothers quickly hid before Shredder could see them. After making sure Shredder was gone they headed into Shredder's room. And the sight they saw made both brothers' stomachs lurch. Michelangelo was laying in a pool of blood, not moving. "Oh my God," Leonardo said, putting his hand to his mouth and turned his head away.

"Mikey!" Donatello cried out, running over to his little brother's side and kneeling down beside him.

"Oh God Mikey!" came April's horrified cry. Leonardo looked over and saw April standing there with Karai, Casey and Raphael right behind her. All four of them had the same horrified looks on their faces.

"Who the Hell did this to my baby brother?!" Raphael cried out, the anger and rage coming through his voice.

"Shredder," came Leonardo's soft reply. "He did this. Me and Donnie saw him leave the room with bloodied blades. When we came in we...we saw...that." Leonardo nodded towards Michelangelo's bloodied body when he said this part. Donatello was working frantically to save his little brother. Karai and April were beside him, helping the genius turtle as best they could. After what seamed like forever they were done.

"Donnie?" Leonardo said after a minute. "How...how's Mikey? Is...is he...I mean he's not..." Leonardo trailed off, not wanting to complete that horrible thought. Donatello said nothing. He just stared at the group with tear filled brown eyes. Then he opened his mouth and said...
