I didn't feel good.I'm my absence on that. But, SRSLY, my mom ACTUALLY brought me to the doctor to check if I had strep, which I didn't. And I had to dress up as Cleopatra for a thing at school, and I think the necklace tore out half of my hair. And then my sister's birthday party was on Friday. She's 4 now. So, yeah, the weekend was busy, but I'm here now! Enjoy!
BTW, I haven't been getting any reviews on this story, and I treasure each and every one, so please always tell me what you think! I need the critique/criticism, anyway. I don't give a damn if it's a flame, really!
And please remember that Don is in between Raph and Mike in Shredder's basement.
When Shredder brought Leo back, he was unconscious still. Shredder threw him in the cell like a sack of potatoes and chained him up again, before giving each turtle a piece of bread and a small bottle of water. "Just to make sure you don't starve to death; we have plans for your torture," he said smugly as he left, closing and locking the door behind him.
Don inspected Leo, who was covered in bruises and cuts and needle marks. Don growled madly to himself, before sighing and looking at the cell window. The sun looked to be going down a bit.
The three conscious turtles ate their food sparingly and in silence, waiting for Leo to wake up- or turn into a werewolf- whichever came first.
Le woke up groggily to the sound of Don's gentle voice calling his name. "Leo? Leo?"
Said turtle sat up and popped his neck. "What- ow- time is it?"
Don looked at the window again. "About sunset," he muttered. Leo groaned. "Already? I just got out of that damn lab!" he exclaimed.
Don chuckled, ignoring the language. "Let's just hope the pattern keeps going and you turn into a puppy. I really don't feel like dealing with a rabid pack animal right now."
Leo chuckled, forgetting some of his stress. "I can imagine it." He watched as the sun went down. Don smiled and went back to his brothers as Leo started to take up his werewolf form.
The three younger Hamatos concentrated on Leo's eyes, which were turning a bright teal; they sighed in relief. "Thank God," Mikey mumbled as Leo grew claws and fangs and green fur grew all over him.
He barked as he saw the turtles before him, but cocked his head in confusion when he saw the chains on them. He tried to move, but realized he had chains on, too. He whined as his brothers looked at him sadly. Their eyes were getting heavy, and they all fell asleep, first Don, then Raph, and Mikey last.
Leo didn't try to wake them.
As the night progressed, Leo kept gnawing on the chains around his feet (I know it's weird, but he's a fucking DOG!). They were starting to weaken, but didn't break. Yet. When 1 AM came, he gave up and went to sleep. He got into a traditional dog's sleeping position and fell asleep relatively quickly, despite the chains.
The next morning at 7, Leo woke up to a sore jaw. He moaned and sat up. He looked at his brothers, who were sleeping peacefully with half empty water bottles and half a piece of bread in front of each of them. Leo silently ate his own bread as he waited for his brothers to awaken.
When he had eaten about as much as they had, he started pulling at his chains again. Surprisingly, the ones around his ankles broke quite easily. Eyes widening, Leo looked up at his brothers. "Guys! Guys! GET UP!" he exclaimed; his brothers groggily woke up, but snapped awake when they saw Leo's chains off- some of them, anyways.
Leo's eyes asked if they knew what had happened. Don shook his head. "We all fell asleep right after you turned."
Leo lifted the broken chains. "Well, I think I was chewing on them. There's bite marks and my jaw's sore."
Don inspected the chains from where he was and nodded. "Looks like it. Now all you need to do is get your wrists and neck chains off."
Leo groaned. "Even so, you guys still have chains that you need to get out of, too. If only I had my katanas... Wait, where are our weapons?"
He looked around the room, even though he was pretty convinced they weren't there-
"Well, there's our Shell Cells," he said, surprised. His brothers all looked to the corner next to the window. Sure enough, their phones were sitting in a pile right out of Leo's reach. "Hmm. They didn't think I'd get out of my chains, now did they?" Leo asked, though it was more of a statement.
His brothers all smiled as the werewolf reached his feet out to the phones. His toes went the furthest out they could without being dislocated and he put his foot down. "Almost... there... Got 'em!"
His brothers clapped as they were each thrown their phones. Leo was about to press the yellow button to call April, but he heard something. "Quick! Hide your phones! Someone's coming!"
His brothers each sat on their phones as Leo got on his knees to hide his freed ankles, putting his phone in between his calves. The door opened and an Elite Guard walked in. He held the remote that Hun, not Shredder, had been previously holding. "So, the infamous turtles finally get captured."
Leo growled at him. "Shut the hell up!" he exclaimed. The Elite chuckled and wagged a finger. "Ah, ah, ah. That's not the attitude you want to have if you want your brothers unharmed and conscious."
Leo's eyes widened and he clammed his beak shut. Raph took over for him. "You sunuva bitch! You dishonorable mothafucka! You- !"
He didn't get any further; he was cut off with a scream as electricity flowed through his chains. "AAAAHHHHHHH!"
Leo's eyes widened even more as Raph fell into unconsciousness. "STOP! YAMERU! Onegaishimasu... ! (STOP! Please...!)" he yelled to the Elite, tears rolling down his face. Mikey and Donnie were in shock.
The Elite pressed the red button again, and Raph slumped on the ground, though, thankfully, his Shell Cell stayed hidden. The Elite smirked under his face-mask and left.
Leo wiped the tears from his eyes as Don went over to Raph's unconscious body. The purple-clad turtle checked his hotheaded brother's pulse. "*sighs in relief* He'll wake up in a few minutes, I'm sure."
Leo got his Shell Cell back out and called April. "April...? Yeah it's been weeks, I know... Yeah, um, Shredder captured us... Yeah, we're fine. There's a window with bars near the West side of the Foot building. We're in the basement... Thanks!"
He hung up. "They'll be here at about sundown. How's Raph doing?"
Said turtle grabbed his head and groaned. "Man, what bus hit me?"
Don helped him sit up. "April and Casey are picking us up at... sunset! Oh, SHIT!"
Mikey drew his knees up to is plastron. "What if Leo loses control on one of 'em?" he asked meekly as Don put an arm around him.
Leo had a determined look in his eyes. "I won't hurt them! No matter what!"
Mikey perked up at this. "OK! Now how do we get out of these chains? Ya think April and Casey will have the time to cut all of us out if we don't have our weapons? And even so, what about the stuff Shredder got on Leo? We can't just let him keep that!"
"Oh my God, you're right!"
Raph chuckled. "There's a first."
"*rolls eyes* So, we have to get out of here, get our weapons and get rid of the info they've got on Leo? We've only got, like, 7 or 8 hours for that!"
Leo got in a lotus position. "Than let's get started."
He closed his eyes and started meditating as Don cocked his head in confusion. "What on earth are you doing?"
Leo didn't open his eyes, but answered. "If I ca contact this other part of me, then we can get out of here."
There ya have it! My sister's kicking me off the computer, so i can't say much. Review, rant, flame, just give me feedback! BYE!
