The stony courtyard of the old castle was dark and grim like it supposed to be. Normally there would be a panic. But being the teenage mutant ninja turtle, you are used to such think. The main question stayed - how to get out. The gate disappeared and another entrance was locked. You are used to such think.

"What now?" Mikey recovered a little.

"If we are inside the game," Donatello was looking around with curiosity, "we must follow its rules."

"If?!" grumbled Raphael. The idea of real bug was not appealing.

"Do you think it's portal to another dimension?" spoken Leonardo the Donnie's thought aloud while examining the only door.

"Guys?" They were interrupted by Michelangelo's trembling voice from the other side of the yard. "Can you come here for a sec?!"

Behind some stony obelisks was...

"An old cemetery." announced Raph the obvious. "So?"

"Did you read the headstones?" pointed out the youngest with his shaky finger.

"I fear my Old English is not as good as I thought," he replied with sarcasm.

"Latin!" corrected his intelligent brother.

"I mean these ones!" interrupted Mikey quickly as he was bouncing nervously. The tombs stood scattered, but the last line was scary symmetrical. Four identical graves, four completely new headstones, each one with an inscription like it have been just carved in and with fresh hole in the ground.

"Horror has many faces. And my fear is my doom."

"Look," laughed Raph, "this one is for you."

Mikey turned his frightened eyes on him: "Dude, can't you understand? These are ALL for us!"

"It is possible," mused Donnie without excitement and tapped on the next stone with sign: "Anger can destroy my enemies but in the end it destroys myself."

Raphael grimaced under Donatello's look and shook his head.

"Too much of a good thing. Even a compassion." read Leonardo and Raphael laughed. "Yours or Don's?" and moved to the end of the line: "I can make your deepest desires true . And what then?" "Looks like I have two of them."

"This is not funny!" screamed Mikey with anger.

"You're right. It's nonsense. We'd better go smash the door," and Raphael moved opposite direction. He suddenly stopped and listened. His brothers too.

'knock knock' was heard silently but clearly.

"Like bone at wood," whispered Mikey.

"Like you could know..."

'knock knock!' more loudly this time. They could find out the source already. Four pairs of eyes were watching cemetery with attention. One grave ledger began moving and from below a human claw appeared. Mikey started screaming, Raph laughing. They both stopped when all places of the eternal rest were doing the same. All brothers looked for their weapons - except Mikey hidden behind Leo's shell.

"Can't a turtle even play unarmed!" hotheaded ninja yelled in frustration as he did not find his sais.

They quickly started searching the substitute.

"This is REEEALLY disgusting!" grimaced Mikey as he looked at white pile of bones which was recently made by his oldest brother's effective kick. There was no time for complaints though. So trying not to vomit he took two upper limbs and attempted to spinning them in the air.

"It would be much better if they didn't fight back," he complained.

"Be glad the cartilage is still holding them together," Donnie tried to comfort him as he took swing with thigh bone.

"They are not decreasing!" yelled Mikey with bone nunchucks in hands.

"Nor increasing either," answered Raph using the claw with three fingers left to fighting the rattling enemies.

"It's not encouraging!" Leonardo cut the nearest skeleton's rib cage with calf bone and looked around. Both of his brothers were right. The pile of fallen enemies disappeared and mob of the refreshed ones were constantly climbing from their tombs.

But there was no time to figure it out. Mikey could not been seen anymore past the horde of skeletons. Though he had been heard. While defending himself he jumped back and suddenly lost firm ground underfoot. His loud squeak was immediately cut off and Michelangelo disappeared in his grave. Literally.

"Mikey!" cried Raphael with fury and started breaking the bones with new energy.

"What happened?" breathed Leo heavily as he was pushing his enemies back with blunt blade.

"Mikey vanished," answered Donatello lost in thought.

"Donnie!" Leo shouted at him with concern as he stopped an attack on his brother's head.

"This is it!" the thinking ninja turned back to the fight. Only red bandana was seen in the middle of the battle near "theirs" graves.

"Raph! Jump inside!"

"Are you mad?" expected answer was spat out, "I will NOT make it easier for them!"

"Trust me! Remember, it's only a game!"

Raph cursed as he wiped the blood off his leg.

"As you wish," called Donatello merrily and before the others could do something constructive, he leaped over white skulls.

"Donnie!" two frustrated shouts were heard when purple bandana disappeared under the ground. Rattle of bones was growing stronger.

"Let's go," ordered Leonardo while noticing their hopeless situation. Raph growled but obediently jumped.

Nothing happened. Blue bandana bent over him.

"Get out, this one's mine."

They changed their places. Then darkness fell over them.
