A/N: As stated in other fic, I'm posting all that I have. I'm not in the mood to write so much now so updates will be slow. Not that does not mean abandoned! There is only one fic I have abandoned and that is Two Pieces of a Whole. This story has an even more concrete outline. I know what I'm gonna do. I just hafta get there. I also decided to change the order of the next two fics in the series...and may make them either parts of each other of just one fic. Raph's story just doesn't have a true plot like Leo's does . Anyway, read on. This is nowhere near finished. It's only past the first hurdle ;) I tried to add a little Mike's POV, but the poor turtle is so lost, I can't hold it for long :( Guess it's mostly Raph's third person from now on...


When Raph finally stepped into the room Michelangelo was in, his eyes immediately scanned it. About nine lab-techs were moving around inside. None of them noticed Raphael yet. Then Raph's eyes landed on his brother. Mikey was hanging limp in his binds – those same glowing purple rings used before. His brother wasn't unconscious. Even as he watched, Mike lifted his eyes toward him. The lack of recognition scared Raph. If he had heard what Svone had told Leo, he wouldn't have been so surprised.

It was in that moment as Raph watched his brother that the lab-techs turned to see him. One went to sound an alarm that started blaring before Raph could send his sai at it. The sound only lasted half a minute, but Raph knew he now had a time limit. He quickly ran the last of the way inside and tried to fight through them, quickly finding them to also be unnaturally fast. Raph didn't take the time to comment. His only thought was on his brother.

Raph managed a lucky shot when his punch met flesh and bone. The lab-tech he caught backed up a little from the hit and Raph quickly grabbed the man's arm and pulled him into his plastron. He placed his sai against the man's throat and smirked when the other techies slowed down. "Yeah, ya care about yer friend, don'tcha?" Raph said when he noticed this. "Good. Ya may save his life then. Heh, yeah jus' 'cuz yer fast don't mean ya can beat me. 'Bet yer wond'rin' that, huh? Well listen close: yer gonna get my brother down from that wall and then yer gonna leave us alone like good li'l' geeks. Ya hear that? If ya don't… Well ya might be short a friend here." He let the sai press hard against the techie, making it difficult for him to breathe. The other men and woman in the room looked nervously at each other. Then Raph added: "Oh, and if ya even think about tryin' ta get yer friend back b'fore helpin' me? I'll remind ya, I'm a ninja. I've learned not ta feel pain and I'm a lot stronger than you losers so ya ain't gettin' him back that way. Any attempt and he's dead. Got it?"

"I'm sorry…" One of the few women said.

"Jus' get on with it, lady." Raph growled with a slightly lighter tone than usual. The woman bowed her head as she quickly walked over to a desk to get the remote out of it. She pressed the button to release the purple rings holding Mikey to the wall and the newly freed turtle slid heavily to the ground without attempting to lighten his decent. Raph resisted the urge to immediately go to him. "Alright now, get goin'." He said.

"May I…? He…may not get his memory back… Dr. Svone said…" The woman said, sounding truly upset about that.

"…What?" Raph immediately looked back at her.

"I'm sorry…" She repeated, tears shinning in the corners of her eyes. She backed away from Raph's dangerous look. "Please…don't hurt us. Dr. Svone does his work personally. I just keep an eye on things. Please believe me. I think this is wrong to test things like this on you and your brothers…"

"Get out b'fore I kill ya all!" Raph growled and immediately the room was cleared as the people inside rushed out any door they could get to. As soon as they were gone, Raph released the man he was holding and ran to his brother. "Come on, Mikey. Talk ta me, bro." He said, softly, as he lifted his brother into his arms. Mikey only gazed back at him, blankly. The man he threatened to kill watched this, holding a hand to his bruised neck. After a short moment, a light began to blink by the communications desk. The man, known as Jared Kenny – the same Jared who had given the turtle brothers Svone's message when Donatello had been the captive – stared at the blinking red light. He knew it meant that Dr. Svone wanted his periodic update. He had to respond or his boss would start to worry. He reached slowly towards the button to talk…


Leonardo came to with a splitting headache. He couldn't hold back a groan as he went to touch a hand to his head. Then he came aware that he was bound when his wrist was met with resistance. His eyes immediately snapped open and he glanced at his surroundings: a lab. It took him a minute or two to remember what had occurred before he woke up in this room. I must have been knocked out. Ugh, I can't believe I let myself get snuck up on! He looked over at the only occupant in the room. The man wasn't looking at him. He was hunched over at a desk obviously intent on whatever he was working on. As Leo watched him, he remembered his brother. Oh Mikey… I have to get out of here! He tugged on his binds but he already knew it would be useless from the last time he was bound like this. He couldn't even move his wrist or ankles away from the wall. Well I guess I'll just have to wait for Donny and Raph… Another thought crossed his mind then and he squeezed his eyes shut. Sensei… We don't have time for this! Please hold on a little longer, father… I'm sorry…

"You think you would have learned your lesson from your dreams, Donatello." Svone said, dodging another swipe from Donny's bo staff. "You can't win."

"Shut up!" Donny growled, loudly. Donatello didn't know how long this fight had lasted. He wasn't paying much attention to anything but his hated ex-tormentor. Every strike he tried failed and – if Donny would even care to admit it to himself – he was getting exhausted and simply frustrated. He didn't even think about why Svone was just dodging when he knew the scientist could do so much more. The man was just playing with him.

"You saw my victory over Raphael, remember?" Svone said, "I knocked him around to an inch of his life easily without getting a scratch on me."

"That'll never happen! It was just a dream!" Donny roared, swiping his staff through the air in emphasis. He wasn't even following any of his usual moves. Each attack was erotic and sloppy. It was evident Donny wasn't even thinking about his ninjitsu training; let alone abiding by it.

"It was more than that. You saw what happened to Michelangelo came true. Why must you continue to deny what you see with your own eyes? That isn't your way. I know you well enough to see that."

"You don't know anything about me!"

"We're the same; you and I. That's why I choose you when I got to know the four of you better. I saw a fellow scientist so I wanted to help broaden your horizons."

"I'm nothing like you! You're a deranged lunatic!" Donny was positively seething by this point. Svone took notice of this and smiled. He knew it wouldn't be long before Donatello took himself out. That's when he decided to end the battle. The next time Donny whipped his staff at Svone; the scientist caught it and went with the motion so as not to hurt his hand from the hard impact. He pulled the weapon away and, as Donny had thrown his whole body into the attack, he was easily pulled forward by the motion. As soon as Donny began to fall, he released his staff so as to use his hands to stop his head from striking the ground. Svone immediately stomped on Donny's carapace so the attempt was made useless and Donny struck the ground harder then he would've liked.

"Look at yourself," Svone said when he bent over to talk in the turtle's ear, "I don't even recognize you anymore. You've really begun to remind me of your brother."

Donny struggled to push himself up but adding his exhaustion on top of the foot holding him down, he couldn't manage it. "Get off of me!"

"Uh, uh, uh," Svone said, shaking his head at the turtle. "You wore yourself out so it would be useless to attempt."

"Do you ever stop talking?" Donny growled again. He didn't stop trying to get up, but he had an idea. He began to reach his hand towards his belt.

Svone reached over and yanked on Don's mask tails so his head was jerked backwards. The purple-banded turtle winced, momentarily stopping his pursuit for the desired object attached to his belt. "Do you like it when other people disturb you when you are in the middle of a project? You know, I would leave you alone if you would leave me alone. I may love my games, but I am first and foremost a scientist. This distraction was both unwelcome and untimely. Raphael may find Michelangelo but, in doing so, he'll doom your little brother to possibly permanent amnesia. I just wanted to perfect a certain formula. I would have let him go when I was finished. Why must your brothers interfere when I don't want them too?"

"You really are an idiot." Donny hissed, eyes still closed, "Don't you know anything about family? You've signed your death certificate when you took me! It would have been sooner, even, if you hadn't made Master Splinter forget about the first time you took Mikey!" When Donny's hand closed on the desired object, he smiled – though it looked more like a grimace with his head still held painfully back. He then rammed the shuriken deep into the back of the only leg he could reach of Svone. The scientist immediately backed away and fell to the ground in pain. Donny slowly got to his feet, feeling even wearier than before. He would have liked to kill Svone then, but the scientist's lab-techs were already taking him away. All Donny could do then was run in hopes of finding his brother, Leonardo…


Jared Kenny pressed the call button before Raphael even knew he was reaching for it. Then Svone's voice filled the room from the speaker: "I want my report!" He demanded, voice tinged slightly with pain. Raph immediately turned towards the speaker and then to Jared with a deadly glare. Jared gulped at the look. "Everything is in order, sir!" He said in a shaky tone.

"It better be! I have to start on my new project and I'll need something to keep those turtles busy. I'll want to be informed on anything." He said before he disconnected. Raph's expression softened somewhat before he turned back to his little brother.

"Come on, bro," He said as he hauled Mikey up. Suddenly Mikey pulled against him.

"No! No, no, no!" He complained, "Leggo!"

"Mikey, come on! I don't have time for this!" Raph huffed.

"Leggo! Leave me alone!" Mikey continued protesting. His eyes were squeezed shut and he was trembling…


I don't know where I am anymore. Everything's so confusing… If I concentrate on something too hard, my head starts hurting worse than anything I've ever known. I don't even know what to think about any of this. That's why I pull away. The sudden movement is too much. I don't even know who I can trust anymore. The more I struggle, the weaker I feel and the more of a migraine I get. Eventually I got to stop and clasp my hands against my head as the pain increases. As I curl up to try to relieve the pain, I feel a hand touch me. "Please, just leave me alone." I groan…


Raph hesitated just briefly as he stared down at Mikey. A growing hatred for Svone only grew within him. Jared still stood watching. Eventually he stepped forward. "I…I can help." He started. Raph whirled to face him and the man stepped back again. "I'm just saying…I- you can give him something so he won't have to be in pain anymore. I don't believe he'll go willingly otherwise…"

"Why should I let ya do anything ta my brother? Ya already messed him up sum'thin' bad." Raph said with a glare.

"I got a little brother too. I can see you want to help him. I want to help you, now that I can. I can even help you get out of here safely." He said, a little braver now. "I can even tell you the exact room one of your other brothers was taken to earlier. I got the message before you arrived here."

"Other..? Leo? Or Donny?" Raph asked.

"Leonardo." Jared confirmed.

"…Fine, give me tha stuff. I'll give it ta him myself."


Leonardo's head snapped up when the door opened and he glared as Svone entered. He noticed the man had a slight limp and his pant leg was bloody. "Now to get started…" Svone said as he walked until he was right in front of Leo.

"What do you think you are you going to do to me?" Leo asked; his eyes still narrowed.

"Just a little thing I was inspired to do. Don't worry. The effects won't be immediate…" He then pulled out a syringe and quickly injected it into Leo's arm. "Now good night, Leonardo. We'll see each other again after the procedure…"

Almost immediately, Leo began to feel his eyes grow heavy. He began to pull against his binds, fighting the urge to sleep, but it was no use. He soon couldn't hold it back any longer and went limp; his eyes slowly closing until he was completely out. Then Svone got started…


Raph carried his little brother on his back as he followed Jared. He watched the man with narrowed eyes, hoping he wasn't making the biggest mistake of his life. As he walked down the hall, Jared suddenly came to a stop. "What's da hold-up?" Raph whispered.

"Your brother," he said as he pointed down the hall. Raph looked around him and his eyes widened when he saw Donny leaning against the wall down the hall. Raph could tell from where he should, his brother was trying to stay on his feet. The red-masked turtle quickly grabbed Jared's arm and ran with him to shorten the distance between them.

"Donny?" Raph asked when he was near enough to whisper, "What happened?"

"Raph?" Donny asked as he looked up, "You got Mikey? Is he okay?"

"Peachy. Ya didn't answer my question. What happened ta ya?"

"Just Svone." He said, in explanation. "I managed to injure him." He smiled at that, "Now we just have to find Leo. Svone took him some place-"

"I know," Raph said, "He's takin' me ta him." He jerked Jared's arm and the man yelped slightly as he almost stumbled. "Can ya stay on yer feet? Maybe ya can take Mike outta here."

"I'm not leaving Leo." Donny said with narrowed eyes.

"Damn it, Don! Yer exhausted. Yer gonna get outta here and yer gonna take Mike with ya. He needs ta get some place familiar b'fore he wakes up, got it?" Raph shot back.

"I need to do this. I need to know I can stop all this."

"Too bad. You can come with me fer now, but when we get ta tha lab Leo's in, this guy will take ya outside fer me."

"Raph!"

"Now move it!" Raph started off and Donny huffed before dragging his tired form after his brother.
