Mikey panted as he ran through the bare and freezing cold sewers, he didn't even know why he was running! It had seemed to be the perfect plan in the moment! When the lights had went off he had just simply ran out of the lair and to the sewers. As to why he thought the sweres was any lighter was past him.

'Where the shell am I?! I don't even know these part of the sewers!' Mikey gasped as he realized what that meant, 'my flashlight has only about 25% power left...I am lost...I don't even know if my bros heard me leave...WHAT AM I GANNA DO?!'

Before Mikey knew it he was gasping so hard that it was causing him to feel light headed, but he couldn't stop. The more he tried to calm himself down the more panic laced around him, he was terrified.

He fell to his knees and put his hand against the dirty sewer wall to steady himself.

"Get a grip...get a grip...your going to be fine..your brothers will find you...your going to be fine...just get a grip." Mikey said it as loud as he could over and over, it somehow helped.

When he was finally breathing normally again he stood, practically clinging to his only light source which was now on 20%.

The clock was ticking now.

'What do I do?'

Right then Mikey saw a movement over him, he gasped. The shadow.

Mike couldn't breath and this time it wasn't from panic, no, it was much stronger then that. Fear, utter raw fear.

Mikey was frozen, all he could do was stare above him. Red glowing evil eyes meet his, this was new, the creature had eyes!

'What the shell...where have I seen this things eyes?'

Something was all to familiar about this thing, this actually comforted Mikey a bit, at least this thing wasn't completely foreign to his knowledge.

As Mikey pondered where he had seen the familiar set of eyes the shadow pounced at him.

Mikey let out a shrill scream and took off running, he knew he couldn't beat this thing, not without a good amount of light anyways! So he kept running and running and running using his shell cells light as a beacon, he didn't know how long he could hold out like this.

He already felt tired and his feet stung from how cold the ground was, he knew he couldn't stop though, he could feel the uneasy presence of the shadow behind him.

Mike gasped as he tripped over a pipe that was running across the sewer floor, he felt the shadows claw barely nick the skin on his ankle. He ran faster relying on the upcoming adrenalin to help him.

Never had Mikey felt so helpless.

Meanwhile...

"This is just freakin' great, Mikey is out in the sewers running to shell only knows where in the dark and here we are with a couple of flashlights and absolutely no clue as to where he is. Freakin' perfect!" Don cringed at Raphs tone then turned to Leo.

"Leo can we get this show on the road? If we don't leave soon Raphs going to need treatment for his new broken hand! And I really don't need that right now...and I don't think you do ethier."

Leo nodded. "That's the last thing I need, can you track Mike Donnie?"

Don nodded and pulled his own shell cell. "He's ...wow..." Raph and Leo instantly crowded around Don trying to see the screen as well.

"His location is changing rapidly...he must be running...FAST."

Raph started running to the tunnel number Mikey was in. "Well let's go get the knuckle head!"

It seemed like forever as the three turtles ran through the gritty sewer tunnels shouting for Mikey.

Finally Don slowed, "wait...he stopped...and were close! Just a little further!" With that the three took off once more and just as Don predicted they arrived to were Mikey was, the water filtering part of the sewers.

"He should be rrigghhtt...here!" Don looked up from his shell cell in confusion then sighed as he noticed the abandoned shell cell about three feet in front of him. "Great..."

He picked up the cell and looked at his brothers behind him. "So now what?...What are you staring at?"

As Don followed there stares he looked back in front of him once more and ran his flashlight over the scene in front of him then he ,then he noticed it. There baby brother was standing on a very old rusty pipe that went over a massive pool of sewage.

He didn't even have a shell cell with him for light, Mikey had no source of light with him what so ever!

Although he didn't need it now with his brothers shining there bright lights over him. Though it raised questions on how the turtle got out there without light guiding him over the narrow piece of pipe.

Dons heart stopped as he saw Mikey stand on the unstable piece of metal. "M-Mikey?"

Don called, trying not to let panic sound as he spoke.

"Mikey!" He called out again.

No response.

"MIKE!"

Mikey heard that, it was clear by how he jumped when he heard it.

Don gasped as he saw Mikey jump at the sound of his name. "Careful! Mikey! You need to get off of that! Right now!"

"I-I can't Don! The shadow is going to throw me off if I move!"

Don face palmed, he remained calm, he knew he had to be patient. "Mikey! It's ok! We won't let that happen! Promise."

Upon a moment of silence both Raph and Leo added that promised as well.

Mikey sighed and nodded an 'ok.' He carefully took a step forward, as soon as he did he was pushed off the pipe by the shadow just as he had said would happen if he moved, of course none of his brothers saw the shadow push him, they all thought hehad jumped.

Everything happened to fast for Mikeys brothers to fully grasp that this all was really happening.

"MIKEY NO!"

He was to far out for any of his brothers to catch him, it was a long drop, one that made Mikeys brothers even more anxious.

Without thinking Leo and Raph both dived in the freezing cold water. Don found some old rope and threw it over the side then awaited for his brothers to return so he could help them up.

He looked over the concrete wall and shined his flashlight over the edge, he was grateful he had made the shell cells water proof, at least it wouldn't be completely dark in the water.

Meanwhile Leo and Raph searched the deep water desperately for Mikey, two long minutes later they found him.

Despite the freezing cold water the two elder turtles climbed the rope with Mikey in tow, it was difficult but they finally made it up. Raph and Leo heaved Mikey over the concrete safety bar and flopped down on the ground gasping for air and coughing violently.

"Oh no..." Dons blood ran cold as he searched for a pulse.

"SHELL!"

He started doing compressions on Mikeys chest and breathing for him, shortly after the young turtle started coughing and gasping for breath, he passed out again as soon as he stopped coughing.

Don sat back and puthis head in his hands, he was trembling.

"Donnie? Is he ok?" A faint nod was all Don could give to answer Leos question.

"Alright...are you ok?"

No response.

Leo put a hand on Dons shoulder,"Don. Are you ok?"

Another nod.

Leo sighed and got up slow making sure he was ok himself. 'Just a little shaken up and cold...nothing to freak over...now to check on Raph...'

"Hey Raph?"

"Yea."

"You doing ok?"

"...Yea"

Leo folded his arms and looked down at the still sitting turtle, he was holding his ankle.

"I...just hit it a on something when we were swimming to get Mikey."

Leo nodded. "So you cant walk, am I right? And don't you dare try if you know you cant Raph.

"Raph sighed in defeat. "I cant."

"Stay down, let me check on Don again."

"Hey Don are you-oh...your up!"

"I'm fine Leo just had a bit of a spell there, I'll carry Mikey, your still pretty unstable from jumping into ice cold water. Can you help Raph?"

Leo nodded, "of course."

The struggle to the lair was major ecspicaly with only 1 flashlight, Leo and Raph had lost there's when they were struggling to get Mikey out of the water, eventually the heros finally made it back to there cozy abode, when there everything went in slow motion.

Don got Mikey under tons and tons of covers in his lab and made sure the lights were all on so he wouldnt freak out when he awoke.

He also turned the heat up for the other two of his patients, he made sure they had plenty of blankets as well. He seated them in the warmest part of the the whole lair aside from the lab, the living room.

He seated Leo in there over sized recliner then piled blankets upon blankets on him, he remained shivering for a good half an hour even with the covers on! As for Raph, Don had seated him on the sofa and put about two pillows under his newly wrapped right ankle, he then piled the remainder of blankets on him.

He then sat on the floor with a small blanket. "So what happened?"

Leo and Raph both were taken aback by him. "What do you mean?"

Don sighed. "You both looked terrified by something when you came out of the water, so what was it?"

Leo and Raphs faces both turned emotionless. "Don...something was pulling Mikey down...litteraly pulling."

Don cocked his head to the side in confusion. "Maybe it was just the his weight, I mean he passed out when he was in the water!"

Raph shook his head. "No...something had him...it had red eyes...that's all I saw of it , Leo saw it to."

Leo nodded. "When he jumped I saw somthing enter the water, I thought it was nothing but im starting to wonder.

"What do you think it was?" Don questioned.

Leo and Raph both shrugged. All of the sudden a shrill scream sounded through the lair, making the three older brothers blood run cold.
