Whew! This took longer than it should have. I apologize.
DISCLAIMER: Neither of us own them, all I have is a small stuffed turtle (whom I have named Donny), et cetera.
Outside, Don winced. Raph's vocabulary mirrored the sewer he lived in.
Also on his watch list, several Foot had just filed into the building, and he could smell the chloroform from his position two hundred yards away. This was bad. He needed backup ASAP.
"Good thing every respectable geek carries some form of communications gadget at all times," he muttered as he dialed Leo's number.
The phone was about to ring when a black shuriken snatched it out of Don's hand.
He automatically jumped up into a fighting stance, whipping out his bo and glancing around him for a sign of Foot, Purple Dragon or otherwordly being.
Nothing caught his eye; then again, with ninjas nothing was supposed to. He focused on hearing instead.
He barely registered a tap on the roof behind him before a kama nearly took off his head. Smacking his own weapon into the attacker's solar plexus, he turned to face a band of twenty black-masked warriors.
He used his bo to vault up onto the head of one, bringing him down with a crash. Back on the ground, he executed a mean sweep that floored three others. Then he jumped back up and hatchet kicked one guy's collarbone. He was rewarded with a reverberating crack.
That had to hurt.
A quick backwards elbow strike proved that there had been someone behind him. That someone now had a broken nose.
He was just starting to feel like he could make it out of this when he tripped.
His breath left him in a whoosh and he reached desperately for his bo - but at that moment a substantial weight drove him back against the brick.
An instant later, he was yanked up by the shell. He tried to jerk his way out of the ninja's firm hold, but found himself held back by at least three others. As he looked up, another one delivered a solid roundhouse kick to his stomach, followed by several powerful punches in rapid succession, landing everywhere from his knees to his face.
Nearly unconscious, he braced himself for the next kick, only to find it blocked by something green.
"OH NO YOU DI'IN'T!" Mikey yelled, smashing a fist into the nose of the guy who had just been attacking Donnie.
Don blinked blearily. Mikey...? They had come?
Soon the ninja holding his shell had fallen, only to be replaced by someone else.
Suddenly, a three-fingered hand was waving in his face.
"Yo, Don, we found you. Are you even awake?" Mikey turned to Leo. "Dude, I think he's out."
"Don, can you hear me?" said Leo, pushing Mikey' hand away and forcing his eyelids open.
"Yeah... Yeah, Leo, I hear you." He suddenly sat bolt upright. "Wait, Raph... Raph's in some kind of trouble. Leo, he went in that door, and then some Foot went in there, and..." He trailed off. "They're gone."
Leo nodded. "You were out for a while. We tried to tail them, but they got away." In what he hoped was a nonchalant manner, he picked Donne up and started heading to a manhole.
Immediately, he started fighting. "No, I'm fine, it's Raph I'm worried about! Lemme go - we need to follow them!"
"Don, we can get Raph later. He's fully capable of taking care of himself."
"Not against Foot ninja with chloroform and dart guns! I'm fine, see, nothing's even broken. We really have to go help Raph."
"Dude, you're actually banged up pretty bad," Mikey said, piking a spot on his shoulder to get his attention. "We really need to get you home. We can't get Raph back if one of our key players is out."
Leo looked Don in the eye, obviously going for a calming effect. "We won't use it if we don't have to."
Behind him, Mikey sighed. "Awwwh, but it would be totally awesome to watch Don get all wonky! C'mon. We gotta try it."
Donnie shuddered; his younger brother should never be allowed within twenty feet of a syringe.
"Fine," he conceded. "Patch me up, talk to Splinter, put a plan together. But we have to hurry."
A bit short for my taste, but collaboration involves compromise. Remember that reviewing prevents terminal illnesses and brings fairies back to life!*
