It had been nearly three hours by his calculations since the last incident. It had been horrible, he thought, feeling the electricity surge through him. His throat, now raw and horse, was painfully dry. He couldn't speak even if he didn't want to. The worst thing of this was the fact that in those three hours he had been forced to go to the bathroom on himself. He felt ashamed as he had closed his eyes to the smell, forcing his hope that his brothers were not going through 'this' part of being buried alive, if they were, and…
"You don't look good." He blinked as he shifted to find out where the voice might be coming from this time but his legs stung from his urine that had began irritating his legs a long time ago. "If you understand me, nod once."
Leo nodded once before looking around again even as she spoke to him, "Don't move, please, it's going to cause you problems." Leo froze looking back at the wall in front of him frowning but he knew what would happen if he didn't obey. "I can have someone come down and clean you up if you want, Leonardo, but you'll have to promise to obey. I just want to help."
Leo wanted to growl. Help, he thought with fury, helping me is not keeping me locked in a box. Helping me is not making me fear for my brothers and never knowing if they're fine. HELPING is letting me go and free with my three brothers unharmed!
"From your expression I take it you don't want to listen with reason so it'll be the painful way. I am not sorry for this, but I will get what I need done." Leo let out a silent scream as he felt the electricity surge through him making his muscles tighten; his body go ridged, before his vision faded to black.
Yet he heard everything around him. From the men taking the lid of his casket off to them picking him out, in wet suit gear, and onto a table where hands roamed his body dumping, what he knew from the searing pain, to be rubbing alcohol onto his wounds. He felt the tears fall from his eyes as he whimpered, the pain from the bolts of electricity still running through him only allowed that.
"He doesn't look good; give him a shot of the blue gel Howie made for them. It should ease any infection or fever… I just hope he gets what he wants with messing with Raphael's head." It was that woman, Heart, talking to someone cleaning him before he felt the feeling of a needle piercing his arm.
He felt his consciousness drop before nothing was there for him but sweet silence and the black horror that they'd never make it out of this alive.

The sounds of Leo panting and the rasp and gasping of a scream that couldn't make it through over came the speakers making Raph flinch, tears growing to his eyes. He cursed himself as he pushed his legs and body to move faster. He had to get to Leo, had to get his brother to safety.
He'd gotten his brothers drunk, he allowed them to be captured, and he forced this upon them when he couldn't… couldn't take the pain or the cutting… he allowed them to be roped into this sick 'testing' of sorts.
"You're bleeding out again." Howie stated as they walked but the man never made a move to stop Raph to try and stop the bleeding. Raph swore in the corner of his eyes he even saw a flash of a sadistic smile, though he knew Howie was sadistic.
"It doesn't matter, I have three bro's to take care of." Raph stated as they arrived to the first fork in the road where he saw three screens with live footage of his brothers. In the middle of the hall before Scenic, that bitch, voice came to him from a small speaker.
"I'm giving you a choice, Raphael, on who you want to save because I love games… Howie, I detest betrayel, when this is over I'm going to make you suffer… but I'll let 'this' slide for now… I'm enjoying it, this challenge." Her laugh came over the screen before Raph spotted all three of his brothers turn to look at him, their eyes digging into his own, clawing at his skin. They were screaming at him to save them.
"What do you want, you bitch?" he snarled.
Scenic sighed before Raph paled his legs nearly giving out on his as Leo screamed in pain, he couldn't hear sound but he saw Leo's eyes open wider as his mouth grew as wide as it could, when one of the men stabbed his side.
"I want you to pick which brother get's a 'bonus'." Raph's eyed all three panels with his brothers on it. "Don't worry, the bonus is a good one."
He didn't know which brother was in the worst situation. Leo… Leo looked like he was in as bad a shape as Raph was.
"Leo." He stated before Scenic's dark laugh came to him. "What? WHAT IS SO GOD DAMN FUNNY!"
"You'll see." Leo grew frantic as Raph watched him being hauled into a metal box that was lifted into the air and transferred over to a tank of water. "Oh, that looks about right. The container is Air tight, but that means you have about… and hour… two hours? Hm, Howie, how long do you think the turtle will last?"
"An hour." Howie looked at Raph who rushed screaming Leo's name when Howie sad that. He couldn't let this happen, not his brother, not his brother. He couldn't watch as the link was released and his brother was sent falling into the water and he cried falling to the ground two trails from his hand, blood covered hands, followed as he whimpered.
"I'm going to kill you!" he snapped as he looked at the now dead screens. "If he's… if any of them are dead! I'll hunt you down! KILL YOU ALL!"
Howie watched his mind running through all the things he remembered them talking about.
"We have ta hurr', Red, ain't got no time ta ju' cry like a bab'." He lifted Raph to his feet before noticing that, like he and the others suspected, sagged.
"I killed him."
"He ain't dead yet, Red. Keep mutt'r that." And Howie dragged Raph down to the left, he knew Raph wouldn't remember because of his mind thinking only of Leo. Another piece set and the rook was gone. How many more moves until the king was taken?
