An RPG fic. This chapter may get confusing as: Bold is written by me and is Raphael and normal is written by ChiakiAngel and is Michelangelo. Italics and underlined is Omniscient written by ChiakiAngel. Italics is Donatello written by ChiakiAngel and Underlined is Leonardo written by me.

I hear the shout of 'get out', and I vaguely wonder who it came from. I can't understand tones of voices, and everything else is just going by in a buzz. I shudder in Raph's arms. I just want to go home.
I grab Mikey harder, rolling into the back of the couch, crouching away from the debris. I'm glad that I took my Nightwatcher gear off a while ago.
A particularly loud crash jolts me awake, and I focus blurry eyes in front of me. All I see is Raph's plastron. I feel shaking, and I'm sure it's not coming from my brother.
"R-Raphie...?"
"Mikey, stay down." I mutter, ducking my head from flying debris.
"W-what's going on? W-where're L-Leo and D-don?" I feel myself pulled closer, and I wince as I hear another loud crash. I didn't understand what was happening.
"It's okay... just stay calm bro. It's gonna be fine." Another crash and I wince.
That didn't answer my question. I just want to know what's going on. I was sure, in some part of my mind, that I had heard somebody coming up to the warehouse. So why were Raph and I the only ones here?
The last beam falls with a huge crash and I hide my face from the dust.
I cough as some dust drift into my throat, and I groan quietly. "I-is it over...?"
I didn't know what I was asking about, but the sounds had mostly stopped, so I was assuming that they were.
I swallow hard, "Yeah Mike... it's over." I push myself up and stare round at the devastation.
"What h-happened Raph...?" My voice is quiet, the dust agitating my already sore throat. "A-and what about D-Donnie and L-Leo?"
The cold air around us is even denser now, and it chills me to the bone. I'm shivering as I talk to Raph, and my side is like a constant warm spot.
"They're fine Mike." I try to steady my voice because honestly, I have no idea how we're going to get out of here.
I don't realize until it's already sounded, but I let out a whine of pain, tucking my head against Raph's plastron. "P-please... I want to g-go home..."
I can hardly believe that I've resorted to begging.
I wrap my arms around Mikey, 'You will bro... I promise." I look at the shell cell lying on the floor, crushed by debris, 'We will get out of here."
I just hold on to my brother, barely even having the strength to remain awake. It would be so easy to just go to bed now, and sleep. I try fighting it, but it's incredibly hard to do.
"Don! Leo!" I call, please let them hear me.I rub Mikey's shell at the same time.
I feel Raph rub my shell, and let out a quiet sigh. I hear debris being pushed aside, and hurried foot steps. It sounded like Don and Leo were alright, and I have a relieve smile at that. Good.
I can hear movement and then another crash. Silence.'Raph! Raph it collapsed again. We're going to try and find another way in!"
I hear the crash, though it's much further away than it should be. Is my mind playing tricks on me?
A raspy breath passes through my mouth as I sag in Raph's arms. I can't do this anymore, it's too hard to fight it. The overwhelming pain from where I was shot has numbed, and the rest of me is going numb as well.
I shiver slightly before everything for me goes dark. My last thought is about wanting Raph to be okay.
They're gone now. I can't hear ant more of their voices and scuffling. I sigh and I feel Mikey go limp again, his breathing a little bit deeper. Which isn't much considering how badly he is breathing, "Mikey…?" I try. But I know he's out cold. "Don… Leo… hurry it up." I mutter
Crashes were heard as debris were tossed aside, and finally a familiar green figure came from behind the chunks of cement. The shock could be seen in his eyes, and the blue banded turtle followed soon after, running towards their brothers.
Relief floods into my heart at the sight of my brothers. They're here. Finally. "Leo! Donnie! Over here!"
The blue banded turtle slid to a stop near his brothers, assessing the damage. "What happened?" The purple one is beside him, his eyes wide in shock. So much blood.
I suppress a shudder, clutching Mikey closer to my chest. "Fight. Mike was shot." It's such a relief to have them here; I have to fight to stay awake. Now that I'm not needed, it would be so nice to curl up and just rest. "He's just passed out."
I quickly reach out, running my hands down my brother's arms, before giving Raph a look. "Where was he shot Raph?" With so much blood loss, I'll have to do some emergency treatment before we can take him to the Battle Shell.
I swallow hard, "In his right side." I mutter
I frown and gently lift my brother's arm, seeing the wrapped wound. At least Raph had listened and tied it off. There really wasn't much I could do now, since I didn't have to wrap it. "Raph, Leo, help me carry him to the Battle Shell."
I pull myself up, transferring Mikey's weight to Don. I barely make it to my feet before I crash to my knees on the ground. "Raph!" Leo bent down, "Raph are you hurt?"
I take a deep breath and shake my head, "Cold." I mutter.
I frown before glancing at Leo. "Raph, you can get to the Battle Shell, Leo and I will follow behind you. Do you think you can get it started? We need it warm for the both of you." My grip on Mikey's arms is tight, but I don't want to drop him.
I grimace, no. Actually now that the adrenaline is gone I can feel the colds effects more than ever, but I nod. Dragging myself up, I move through the Debris and too the van.
I sigh quietly, motioning for Leo to help me carry our brother. I was worried for Raph, he didn't seem quite himself. I needed to find out exactly what had happened tonight.
I slump into the seats of the battle shell, turning on the ignition. I hear the soft purr of engine and close my eyes. Mikey has to be alright.
"Leo, come on, we gotta carry Mikey to the Battle Shell." I shift slightly, getting a hold of Mikey's arms.
I nod, picking up Mikey's legs. Carefully. I don't want to hurt him.
"Alright, easy now." I frown as we pull our brother up. I couldn't accurately assess the damage until we got home. I only hoped he could hang on for that long.
I move with Don to the Exit. I hope Mikey's going to be okay. And Raphael. What happened here?
I give a quiet sigh of relief as we reach the Battle Shell, and I pull Mikey up with me into the back. We'll have to get someone to stay back here with him, while someone else drives.
"I'll drive Don. Mikey needs you most." I smile sadly and move around to the front. I need to check on Raph.
"Okay." I nod and kneel down beside my brother, assessing the damage in the better light. I lightly ran my hand along the side, and frowned as I felt the heat. It was getting infected. "Hurry Leo, we need to get home."
"Raph?" He's asleep. Slumped over in the driver's seat. "Raph!" I shake him.
"Huh?" I look up to see my brother, "Leo."
"Move over bro. We gonna go home."
I nod, pulling myself to the other side. "How's Mike?"
"Don's with him."
And even though he's avoiding my question, I nod and press my forehead against the window. It would be so nice to sleep properly .
I lightly prod at the wound, checking to see how swollen it was, and there's a whimper of pain. I instantly pull my hand away, feeling horrible.
I start the car and we drive down the streets. I hope we can make it in time.
"Raph, are you awake?" I ask. I was hoping to get the story of what had happened.
I groan softly, "Huh?" I mumble
I frown at the sound of his voice. "I'll ask you later. Get some sleep. You need it." I gently begin to unwrap the blood soaked, makeshift bandages. I apologize as I hear Mikey whimper louder in pain.
"'right..' I mumble and lay my head down again.
I frown. Raph doesn't look good.
Thanks for all the reviews. Any plot holes or slight mistakes- well, my bad. It's an RPG
