Hey fellow fanfiction readers super sorry for the late update. Thank you for being patient with me. Updates should start to get more frequent now! Had finals and all that fun stuff so I had to kinda disappear for a while...BUT I'M BACK! So read and enjoy!

Don sighed, it had been 10 hours since Mikey fainted.

Since then Don had patched him up and worked a bit more on his concoction, but now that Mike was up Don had the 'honor' of listening to Mikey bicker on about how the challenge was somehow rigged and all that.

"I'm just saying Don! What if you guys were all just sleeping when I ,the innocent little brother, was trying my hardest on trying to stay up!"

Don face palmed then spun around to Mike. "Mikey, for the last time, you know we don't cheat. There would be no honor in that!"

Mikey hung his head, "huh...your right...so wait how did I lose again?"

Don gave him an unreadable look. "You don't remember?"

Mikey tried to ponder his thoughts then shrugged, "nah."

"Man...you must have been beat then! Sheesh... Well long story short you got scared by us, dropped the plate you were holding then fainted on top of it. "

Mikey looked at his scratched up/ bandaged arms. "That would explain alot... and you know you look pretty beat yourself."

Don rolled his eyes then flipped back around to his work. "I'm not losing Mike...could you do me a favor and go check on the others?"

Mikey chuckled and nodded then walked off towards the dojo.

Just upon entering the dojo a pungent smell of sweat hit Mikey making him rethink even talking to Raph.

He sighed, 'guess I gatta check on him...that is what Don said.'

"Hey there Raph!" Raph grunted as he turned around to Mike.

"Yea whataya need? I'm kinda busy."

Mikeys eyes widened as Raph turned back and continued punching. 'Someone is a little grumpy...'

"Um...well I just wanted to check on ya! You need anything?"

Raph grunted and let out a barely noticeable 'I'm fine' then punched again.

Mikey shook his head, "you sure? You look like you need a drink dude...and about a 3 years nap." Mike laughed

Raph whipped around, "I'M FINE! LEAVE ME ALONE MIKE!"

Mikey cringed then quickly made his way out of the dojo. 'Sheesh...I hope Leo is in a better mood.'

"Hiya Leo, what's going on?" Mikey called walking in (without knocking) Leo's room, totally shattering the turtles concentration.

Leo sighed as he opened one eye. "Yes Mike? What can I help you with?"

Mikey smiled, "awh nothing bro! Just wanted to check in on ya! Ya need anything?"

Leo shook his head and went back to meditating. "I'm fine Mikey, thanks though...it's good to see you awake again."

Mikey smiled, "it's good to be awake again dude!" Upon not getting any sort of response Mikey then silently left Leo's room.

He couldn't help but think about how Leo's voice sounded, shaky, unaware and way to tired.

Plus Raph's form when he punched and turned to him. He was barely standing and was just grumpy.

Don looked like a zombie come back to life, in fact all of them did!

Mike knew his brothers. He knew them and there attitudes if there was one thing he knew for sure it was that they weren't going to give up easily.

He also knew that if he didn't intervene soon they would go to far with there plans, and with that one thought Mikey had a plan.

He would have to take matters in his own hands.

He smiled, 'priority one, get Raph out first. Now I just gatta figure out how...'
