Don't really know what to say. Enjoy!
Chapter 2: Surprise
It was a normal day. Leo was watching Space Heroes, Mikey was eating pizza, Raph was beating up another poor, defenseless punching bag, and Donnie was working on the mutagen in his lab. Donnie glanced at his notes once again, stuck with the cure. He had been able to create a retromutagen but for some reason, it would not work on Karai. Something in Stockman's creation made her different, causing her to lose her mind, like Mr. O'Neil did, only she was fully aware what was going on. In Donatello's option, that had to be a worse fate.
"Donnie! Let's move! Time for patrol!" Mikey shouted, sticking his face in the lab.
"Alright," Donnie said, reaching over and grabbing his bo staff. He ran out of the lab and up his brothers. Leo nodded while Raph took up, leaping over the turnstiles. Mikey just smiled at him and followed Raph's lead.
The four ran through the night, jumping across building, having a good time enjoying the night air. Mikey had challenged Raph to a race so the two had taken off, leaving their other brothers behind. Leo's eyes were narrowed in annoyance. They were supposed to be ninjas. Quiet.
All of a sudden, Donnie skidded to a stop, his eyes scanning the area around them. Leo paused for a second, watching his brother before asking, "What's wrong, Don?"
"I just, feel, something. Something bad," Donnie tried to place. He felt like he was being watched.
Leo scanned the area as well, trying to pick up what Donnie sensed and felt nothing. "I'm sure it's nothing. Come on. Raph and Mikey have gotten pretty far ahead. We need to catch up." Leo turned and started to run in the direction the other two had gone.
"Yeah, sure, of…" Donnie's voice trailed off as something hit his neck. He grabbed his neck and pulled. It was a dart. "Le…." His head swam and his vision darkened and all he knew was that he was falling and he could hear the faint sound of his brother's voice.
"What is it, Don?" Leo asked turning around. His breath caught in his throat as he watched Donnie's eyes grow hazy and slide shut as he sank to his knees and onto the ground. "Donnie!" Leo ran towards his fallen brother only to get crashed into. He went skidding across the roof and landed heavily by the ledge on his side.
"Leo!" Leo took the chance to look over to see Raph and Mikey both running towards him. Heavy footsteps caused him to look up and see Tiger Claw stalking towards him.
Leo pulled himself to his feet and went flying at the large mutant cat, fighting him to get back to his brother. Tiger Claw threw him away and Leo got a glace of Donnie. Rahzar stood over Don and lifted him onto his shoulder. A whining of a gun pulled his attention as he stared into the barrel of Tiger Claw's gun.
"Booyakasha!" Mikey sent nunchakus into the gun, knocking it out of Tiger Claw's hand while Raph head-butted him away.
"Are you okay, Leo?" Raph asked, helping their leader to his feet.
"They have Donnie!" Leo cried out, racing toward where Rahzar stood.
"What?!" Raph roared as the three turned to the mutant wolf. "Let go of my brother!"
Rahzar laughed and tightened his hold on the drugged turtle. "I don't think so. Master Shredder has use of him." With a wave, several Foot Bots appeared and attacked the remaining turtles. With another laugh, Rahzar took off with Donnie in his hold.
"D! We can't let him take him!" Mikey screamed as he crashed into a Foot Bot, using the hidden blade to slice through it.
Raph glared at his younger brother, showing the anger he felt at the thought of losing his brother, "Never!"
Tiger Claw flew over, kicking away the red banded turtle. "I hope you enjoyed seeing your brother for the last time." With a laugh, he flew away, leaving the Foot Bots to give him time to get away. The brothers continued to fight, trying to make some kind of hole to run through, but it seemed like every time they took down a bot, two more took its place.
Then, the Foot Bots disappeared. The three remaining turtles looked around the roof, noticing they were alone.
"No…." Raph breathed as he rapidly looked around for his missing brother. He couldn't believe Donnie was gone. He felt as if the ground beneath his feet was disappearing rapidly and there was nothing he could do about it. Don was the logic behind his rage and now…. Donatello was gone and there was nothing he could have done.
The clang of wood and chains rang through the air as Mikey lost his grip on his weapons and sank to his knees, tears forming in his eyes. His direct older brother was gone but it wasn't only that, Donnie was his best friend. The one he ran to whenever things got too tough or scary. Who would he go to now? What was he going to do without Donnie? "Donnie…. Donnie….."
The guilt Leo felt kept increasing as he stared at the empty place where his brother fell. Donnie knew something bad was going to happen and Leo ignored him. Because of his actions, his brother was taken from them. How was he going to tell their father? Leo held his swords tighter as he could only watched as the youngest cried on the roof and Raph slowly lost himself to his rage. Leo finally understood the saying, you don't know what you have lost until it is gone.
