Chapter 8: The science behind it all
A/n: I'm a woman of my word. Here's another chapter to make up for every time you guys have to wait for me to update the story. Have fun reading!
It became dark, so the turtles and the Mutanimals went to the surface. They headed to the Schredder's lair, when they saw some Footbots. Raph signaled Leo to crush them before they warned the Schredder. Leo agreed, but when they came closer, they saw Donnie standing in front of the purple dragons. They hid and listened to what was going on there. "Schredder has a task for you guys. You have to get the things on this list for me." Donnie said. "Who do you think you are?!", the leader of the purple dragons said, "You're not the boss of us. You are one of those turtles." Donnie got angry by those words and said: "I'm not one of them. They are the enemy. And if you don't want to listen…" He pushed a button on his glove and the Footbots all showed their weapons. "… my bots will make sure you DO listen." "That's it!", Leo said softly and turned to the others, "We can do this two ways: either we destroy the bots or make sure Donnie can't reach his glove." "Why not both?" pigeon Pete asked and he flew right towards Donnie. "Wha-" Donnie said before he was knocked over by Pete. "That's a way of doing it" Leo admitted and the rest jumped in. Leatherhead and Mikey tied Donnie up with ropes while Leo, Raph and Slash destroyed the bots. Then Rockwell walked towards Donnie with a needle and he took some blood. "Let me go!" Donnie demanded. "Sorry D", Mikey said, "this is for your own good."
Back in the lair Donnie was tied up to his own desk chair with chains in the pit, still demanding they let him go. "Alright", Rockwell said, "now I need some blood of one of you. For comparison." He looked at the three remaining brothers. "I'll do it!" Everyone looked at Mikey. "You sure?", Leo asked, "You don't like needles." "He would have done the same for me. So yes, I'm sure." He stood up and walked with Rockwell into the lab. A few minutes later he returned, rubbing his arm. He sat beside Raph, who said: "Now we have to wait, I guess." It took a few minutes until Rockwell left the lab. "I've got good news and bad news." "What's the bad news?" Leo asked. "I can't cure him and don't know anyone who could." "And the good news?" Mikey asked. "It comes from chemicals he has been working on and I know which one." There was a silence for a few seconds. "So?" Raph asked impatient. "A liquid labelled 'experiment 107'." The three turtles looked shocked at each other. "Something wrong?" Slash asked. "That is the liquid that he was working on when he got unconscious after an explosion. After two days of unconsciousness he vanished." Leo explained. "I've done some research on the project and it's a formula that supposedly can make people turn from evil to good or otherwise, but it was unfinished." Rockwell said before he showed Donnie's laptop to the others. "It appears Donnie knew this as well and tried to finish it." "So now we have to make a cure? We aren't good with chemicals. Where do we find someone who is good with chemicals and wont scream or dissect us?" Raph said.
A/n: That's it. Now they know what's wrong. Did you guess it before? Do you know who can/will make the cure. Let me know in the reviews what you think of these questions and of the story of course. See you in the next chapter.
