Disclaimer:nope....Manages to hug Leo, before Raph growls and chases me off.

Chapter 6: Cages

Hun stepps into the room and eight others follow him. He looks shocked when he sees me. I'm not letting him touch my brothers...not while there's breath in my body...he won't touch Leo again...never again...

I clench my fists and drop into a defensive stance, ready for a fight. Normally I would've leapt forward and just fought...but too much is at stake now. A few of those people look like scientists. They better get the hell out of here 'cus I'm ready for a fight. Hun recovers and barks something...one of the other men leaves and comes back. I realize I'm growling like an angry dog..heh...I guess that makes me a pit-turtle. Hun steps forward a dart gun in his hand. I growl louder and tense. I hear Don and Mike get up and realize their defending Leo too. Well I'm defending all of them. Old habits die hard. I leap forward and attack Hun dodging a dart and landing a kick to Hun wrist. He shouts in rage and grabs me. I manage three hits and two kicks before he slams me to the ground and someone jams a dart into my arm. I vaguely remember biting Hun's hand...heh...go to hell Hun.

Black...

I sit up slowly, dangit...I've got a muzzle on again...I look around...I'm in a brightly lit room, chained and tied I can't move my arms at all and have difficultly moving my legs. I spot Leo laying sprawled on the ground horribly still, he looks like he's been recently beaten. No....Leo...no...please.

"Raph!" someone hisses. I twist around and see Don. Amber eyes meet chocolate brown, his chocolate brown eyes looked worried. My heart stopped, Don was in a cage, thick heavy metal bars locking him in. He had enough room to sit, but not stand or lay down.

"Mikey's behind you," Don said quickly, "He's still out...heck...he fought like a mad man trying to keep them away from Leo. I was...I couldn't get close enough to them. Mikey, he pulled him into the corner closest to them and stood over Leo...you know how Leo's been lately...he started freaking out when the lights turned on...I think, *laughs* I think he finally realized we're alive because he sort just stared at us for a minute and then started screaming his head off. I don't think I've been so relieved in my life to hear Leo's voice."

I grin as I picture Mike defending Leo and Don trying to help, while Leo freaks out. But the funny thought vanishes when I realize that Mike's in a cage too and then I wonder why I'm not.

"Well its time for hell to start Raphael," Hun laughed as he walked up to me and grabbed my head, "I think you learned the meaning of serious pain."

He starts kicking me, it's all I can do not to cry out, I grit my teeth and focus on staying concious. I can hear Don sobbing...Mikey joins in, and I can see him now...tears streaming down his face, he looks scared. My head hits the ground a couple of times and everything goes dark...despite my efforts otherwise.

When I come to, I'm unbound...but the muzzle is still on. Don and Mikey's cages are gone. I hear Hun talking and despite my body's protest I turn my head. Leo's seizing on the floor a few feet away. Hun takes something from someone, my vision blurs for a second and my head feels heavy...then I recognise what Hun is holding...a gun.

No...Leo...no...Something snaps in me and I find myself at his side...the gun skittering across the floor...I'm going to kill Hun. I sway dangerously as I plant my feet on either side of my brother, I ball my fists. Hun laughes and lunges.

It all happens too fast...a blurred image tainted red...When I come back to myself I'm holding a gun out...it's clicking, an empty barrel. Hun is dead at my feet. I realized I'm gripping the gun so tight my knuckles are practically white, not easy when your green. I drop the gun and stagger to Leo's side...My knees hurt suddenly and I realize I've dropped down to the ground. Leo's limp...I reach out and feel for a pulse. It's there, fast and fluttery, but there. I sit back and try to calm down, but i'm shaking too much and I can practically taste the adreniline that my body is pumping out.

Where are Mikey and Donnie?
