Chapter 3: Wait!
Raph was still fuming over the fact that his two brothers left him behind in this stupid game he's been playing for over an hour now. He sighed while he walked through the sewers searching for his little brother. Raph was it. He always hated this game, it was just to boring. "I swear im going to kill Donnie for this." Raph grumbled. "Mikey!" He yelled, his voice booming off the walls making an echo sound. "Im gonna find you, you little shell brain."
Mikey who hid deep inside the tunnel that Raph passed many times giggled in a soft manner. "I bet Raphie." Mikey said to himself before running further into the tunnel, at the end he was met with a gap and another tunnel across from the one he was in. Mikey climbed down and rushed towards the hole of the other one. Once he was in he sprinted. "He'll never find me now!" Mikey chuckled before making a turn and into another tunnel. Soon the turtle fell short of breath. His memory was a big foggy, things seemed bigger to him now. His hands were smaller, so were his legs. He wondered what had happened to him. He was lost in thought when he heard a noise from the shadows. He was alone, in the dark sewers. He remembered that he was scared of the darkness. He slid down against the wall and hugged his knees to his chest. He heard another noise, sounded like a call of some sort but it was to far away. Mikey looked around and saw that the area he was in looked unfamiliar, suddenly fear struck him. He was lost, in the dark with who knows what lurking in the shadows. "Raph?" He called out, he heard his voice croak with a little squeak. His voice was sounding off, sounded so young. "Raphie?" Mikey slowly eyed everything he could. He froze when he saw a tall dark figure making its way towards him. His eyes widened. "Raph?"
The figure stayed silent as it made its way towards him. Mikey found the will to get himself on his feet. He backed up a bit as the figure was closer, as the figure grew more closer Mikey spun and ran. "Raph!" He cried. He looked back to see the figure chasing him, he closed his eyes and ran faster, tears formed and fear consumed him. "Raph!" Mikey cried again but this time it was a scream as the figure slammed him onto the ground. The figure flipped Mikey over, Mikey's eyes opened to see a spooky shadow over him, he let out the loudest scream he could get out. "Raph!"
Raph widened his eyes at the sound of his name. "Mikey!" He yelled, he raced as fast as he could towards the shriek of his little brother, he came out of a tunnel and into a big open space, two tunnel holes on the far wall, sand covered the ground. Raph widened his eyes at the sight. His baby brother was held down by one of the foot soldiers. Raph didn't hesitate, he rushed towards the soldier and stabbed his sai into the man before kicking the soldier off and down to the ground. Raph put his sai up, glaring at the knocked out soldier. "Don't you dare lay a hand on my brother." He growled.
Raph turned to his baby brother, he kneeled beside him. His arms scooped up the sobbing turtle. His brother's arms clung to his neck, his body was shaking. Raph held him tight and rubbed his shell. "Hey buddy, its okay, its fine, Im here now."
"I was so scared Raphie." Mikey cried.
"I know, lets get you home." Raph said with a soft voice, he lifted Mikey up in his arms, cradling him close. Mikey buried his head in the crane of Raph's neck. Once they were back in the lair Raph tucked his now six year old brother into his bed. Mikey seemed to be more calm as he slept silently. Raph stood there for a moment before walking out, he closed the door quietly. He stood at the entrance of the lair that led out to the subway tracks. He pinched his chin in thought. Why was a foot here? And were they more? He questioned again and again before he became furious. "Maybe I could take a look around…" Raph mumbled to himself, he gave a look back at the lair. "He's sleeping…..so he'll be okay…." Raph told himself before walking off into the shadows that consumed the sewers.
Mikey awoke. He sat up and yawned. He looked around to see he was in a bed, a room, his room. He rubbed his head and left his safe warm bed. He clicked the door shut. "Raph!" He called out, no answer. Mikey frowned. Where could he be? He wondered around the lair and sighed when he found nothing from his older brother, his eyes drifted towards the entrance. A thought crossed Mikey's mind. Maybe he went off to search for that figure… That made Mikey rush out of the entrance and into the dark sewers, he didn't really get to far when he tripped, sitting up he looked down at the object that made him do a face plant, getting onto his knees he crawled over to it. His eyes widened. "Raph's sai? Mikey gasped as he held his brother's weapon in his hands. Mikey stared down for a moment before catching another sai in front of him. He stood up. "So now a little turtle has came out of hiding." A dark female voice said. Mikey turned to see a woman dressed in silver armor. Her smile was big and unkind, it scared Mikey a lot. Shaking in his shell he backed up from the woman. "What did you do to Raph?"
The woman's eyebrow arched up. "You mean the turtle I saw earlier? Oh I took care of him."
Mikey cocked his head. "What do you mean?"
The woman laughed. "Oh I am going to enjoy seeing you bleed and scream."
Mikey widened his eyes, he gulped. She killed Raph? He asked himself. He backed up a bit more, he held up the sai in his hand. He held it with shaking hands. "Stay away from me!" He warned. "I have my brother's sai, and I wont hesitate to use it!"
"Please, your little self wont be able to hit me."
"He wont be able to hit you, but I sure can!" A voice from behind Mikey bellowed. Mikey felt the sai he was holding in his hand vanish. He gasped when he saw his big brother at the scene, blocking the scary woman from him. Raph looked down at his little brother. "Mikey, I need you to do something for me!"
Mikey gazed up, ready to obey. "I need you to get Leo and Donnie, can you do that?"
Mikey nodded. "They are on the surface." Raph grunted as he held off Karai. "They're in a old abandon building, the windows are all shattered-" Raph paused remembering how young Mikey was and small. How dare he, he was about to send a six year old, his six year old brother up there.
"Right!" Mikey responded running off.
"Wait!" Raph cried out but it was to late, the tot was gone and he knew Karai wasn't going to just let him go. But Raph had to try, he turned to run after Mikey and the back of his brothers shell was the last thing he saw before darkness loomed over him.
