To recap on what happened on the last chapter, Leo went to see how the analyzing was coming along, but when he got back to the lair, he finds that Donnie's eyes are blood red.

This chapter is when we see what happened to Donnie. Please, no flames.

So without further ado, here is chapter 5 of 'I Can't See'.

Disclaimer: I do not own TMNT, but I wished I did.


All Leo could do was stare at what was in front of him.

All Leo could do was analyze the situation.

All Leo could do was—

"A little help bro!" Raph screamed, finally getting Leo's attention.

"I'm coming! But what I want to know is, WHY ARE DONNIE'S EYES BLOOD RED AND WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!" Leo asked/screamed.

"IDK, I got him finally in here after begging him to come spar to see what he could still do. It was going just fine until Donnie started to be more aggressive, but at the same time, sad. His attacks became more powerful, but somehow, he was holding back like he didn't want to do this. I asked what was wrong, but he said nothing, just took on this weird stance. Next thing I know, I'm being attacked, so all I could do was block everything thrown my way because everything was a blur except for one thing, his face. It looked like he was very sad, but it was only for a few seconds, then his eyes started to get red. He then suddenly stopped at just stared at me, and then you came in." Raph explained while still keeping his eyes on Donnie's.

"OK, other than that, did he say anything? Anything At All?" Leo inquired, wanting to know everything that he could.

"Now that you mention that, he said something, but it was very quiet. But it sort of sounded like 'help' or 'head'." Raph informed.

"Meaning he's in trouble, I'll be right back, I got a plan." Leo said, and then left.

Not even ten minutes later, Leo was back with a syringe. He signalled for Raph to keep him busy.

Once that plan was put into action, Leo got up close to Donnie and jabbed the syringe in and gathered some blood. 'Good thing Donnie taught us how to do this' Leo thought. Once the syringe came out, Donnie fainted. Luckily Raph was close enough to catch him.

"Get him to bed, and if he wakes up before I come back, ask him if he remembers anything of this incident and if he doesn't, let him know. I'm off to find Leatherhead to ask him to analyze Donnie's blood since April is currently busy. " Leo said, and with that said, he left.


"Leatherhead, are you here? It's me, Leonardo. Hello?"

"Leonardo, what a surprise. What do I owe the pleasure of this visit." Leatherhead asked.

"It's about Donnie, by any chance, do you still have a sample of his blood when he turned into that monster? If you do, I need you to do something for me." Leo asked.

"Hmm, let me quickly search around. I think I may still do. Ah, here it is. Now if you don't mind me asking, what is wrong with Donatello?" Leatherhead answered.

Leo then told the whole story from the beginning to what just happened, and why he was down here and what he thinks it may be.

"That is bad, well just give me and hour and I should be done analyzing the two blood samples, meanwhile, why don't you make yourself at home." Leatherhead said, instantly getting to work.

"ok." Leo answered, slowly falling asleep waiting for the hour to be over.

One hour later

"Leonardo, wake up. I'm done." Leatherhead stated, waiting for Leo to wake up.

"*yawn* Ok, lets here it, is it the reason I was thinking or no." Leo questioned, wanting to know if he was correct. He sincerely hoped he wasn't correct.

"Well, the blood samples matched for the most part, but there is the new stuff in his bloodstream. It seems that this yellow stuff unconsciously unlocked the monster mutation in Donatello. Now if you give him this, the mutating should stop, but I can't do anything more. Just one thing Leonardo, he has to be awake before you can put this in him, and with that said, please be safe and give Donatello my sincere regards." Leatherhead said while handing Leo the mutation antidote.


"I'm here!" Leo yelled, mainly to his immediate younger brother.

"In Donnie's room, he's just waking up!" Raph yelled back from the bedroom corridor.

It took Leo just a few moments for Leo to get to Don's room.

"What took so long fearless?" Raph asked.

"It took an hour for Leatherhead to analyze the two blood samples. Turns out it was the monster mutation that was unconsciously unlocked when the yellow ooze entered his bloodstream. But once he fully wakes up and tells us what he remembers, I'll administer this temporary cure." Leo explained.

"*yawn* What happened, where am I, and why does my shoulder hurt." Don questioned.

"Oh, he's awake, good. So Donnie what do you remember?" Raph asked.

Donnie's head popped up once he heard his immediate and oldest brothers start to talk, what he didn't know but he was sure it was to him so he decided to ask.

"Um, could you repeat that? I couldn't understand what you asked." Donnie asked, wanting to know.

"Oh um, sure. All I asked was what you remembered during our sparring match." Raph re-asked.

"Um, you begging me to come spar with you to see how much I could do being blind, me getting a few times, slightly losing control, losing control over myself, and waking up." Donnie answered back, listing everything he remembered.

"Well at least you remember most of what happened. Yes it is true I got you to finally spar with me to see what you could still do. But then you started to be more aggressive, but at the same time, sad. Your attacks became more powerful, but somehow, you still held back like you didn't want to do this. I asked you what was wrong, but you said nothing, just took on this weird stance. Next thing I know, you attacked me, so all I could do was block everything thrown my way because everything was a blur except for your face. It looked like you were very sad, but it was only for a few seconds, then your eyes started to get red. You then suddenly stopped and just stared at me, and then fearless came in. After he came in, he formed a plan and he went into your room and got a syringe, jabbed you in the shoulder, got some blood, then you fainted. Leo said for me to get you to bed and if you woke up before he came back, I was to ask you what you remembered and if you didn't, then I was to let you know. Fearless then left to find Leatherhead to ask him to analyze your blood since April was currently busy. So there you go." Raph finished explaining what happened.

"Now I need to inject something in your bloodstream real quick so that you don't monster/zone out again." Leo interjected, wanting to get this over.

"Wait, I monster-ed? I got everything else, but I monster-ed?" Donnie asked, really confused.

"Well it was only small, but it turns out it that the mutation was unconsciously unlocked when the yellow ooze entered your bloodstream. I was told you had to be fully awake for me administer this temporary cure." Leo said.

"Go right ahead, I don't want this to happen again." Donnie said.

And with this said, Leo gave him the needle.
