Surprise! Two for one today! here's chapter 6!

Sweat was dripping off Leonardo's forehead, his arm was shaking, and his feet stumbled as he ran. His brother Michelangelo ran from Kari while supporting Leonardo. He knew better than to keep fighting while Leonardo was injured, and he hoped Raphael was thinking the same. He sighed in relief when he saw his brothers followed after they distracted Kari. When they were in a safe enough distance Raphael, who was breathing heavily, took Leonardo from Michelangelo.

"I'll help him, you're too short, you're just draggin' him on the ground," Raphael said.

Michelangelo agreed. Of all of them, Raphael was the tallest, and could easily support Leonardo. They pushed their way out, before the others spotted them.

Leonardo was grinding his teeth at the pain. His vision was getting blurry. Raphael could feel him tense up as they moved.

"Leo, I thought it was just a flesh wound," Raphael said.

"Umm…yeah… it only really started… hurting when that girl clawed into it with those spiked gloves of hers…"

Raphael winced at what his brother said. He was regretting leaving his brother behind, but then wondered how far he would have gotten without him. Casey would have been caught, and who knows what the Purple Dragons would have done to Angel after she was tagged a traitor. Raphael kept moving with his brothers at his side.

As they tried to make it free, Kari had reassembled her forces. They were watching over them from the rooftops and the Purple Dragons were on the ground. It was an ambush.

Kari had ordered her soldiers to simultaneously take each brother hostage.

They threw their smoke bombs to confuse the brothers. Raphael quickly took Leonardo out of the gas. Tears were collecting in his eyes and he was coughing. One of the Purple Dragons was attempting to fight Raphael. He was wearing a gas mask.

Whoever those ninja are, Raphael thought, they're takin' good care of the Purple Dragons.

Leonardo was well enough to keep the Purple Dragon from taking him. He was using the sword Raphael got from Kari, but he still needed Raphael's help to fight them off.

It didn't take much for Raphael to take them down. All his years of training, he could easily get rid of the Dragon. A simple pressure point, hit just right, and they were out like a light. Raphael ran for cover once again when he felt his brother getting heavier and heavier. Leonardo was dragging himself more and more. As he ran, he felt the wind of the ninja's weapons fly past him. Leonardo yelled out in pain. At that, Raphael took off running as fast as he could with his brother. He had lost them and reached the fence. He threw over the sword he had obtained from his fight with Kari. He carried Leonardo on his back when he jumped over it. He ran for cover between two apartment buildings, away from the dangerous territory.

"Leo, Leo, you okay?" he asked him.

Raphael laid him down, but Leonardo protested.

"There's something on my back," he groaned.

His eyes were failing him, unable to keep open. Raphael told him to sit down and lean on his lap. Raphael's arm was out supporting his brother's head as he leaned on him. He could see the object wedged in his ribcage and a dart between his shoulder and scapula.

"You got hit twice. A throwin' star and… a dart." Raphael pulled the dart out.

"Lucky me…"

"I dunno if I should take the other one out… that throwin' star's in a weird place, I'ld just make it worse," Raphael said.

"I don't care… I REALLY want it OUT," Leonardo said panting.

"Fine, it might hurt. I'll count to ten."

Leonardo braced himself.

"One, two…TEN!" Raphael quickly pulled the weapon out.

Leonardo almost screamed, but his brother muffled the sound with the sleeve of his jacket.

"Miim mmoughm mm!"

Raphael removed his sleeve.

"I thought… you said one to ten… That hurt!" He struggled to say the last words.

"I did say one two ten. 'sides I'm more worried about what that dart did to ya."

Leonardo was seeing black spots. Even though his brother was right in front of him, his voice was becoming faint.

"Is it bad? I can feel it, the blood on my back…man it hurts…where's…Don and…Mikey…"

Raphael let his brother lay down on the floor.

"I'm going back to find them, then I'm coming back for you." He whispered to him.

He saw that Leonardo was already fast asleep. His face looked pale from the wounds. Raphael hoped he was doing the right thing leaving him once again. Still, no one had followed them, and his brothers were left behind. He ran back to get them out.

The smoke came from out of nowhere. Michelangelo's eyes became watery and he began to cough. He felt someone grab his shirt, pulling him out of the smoke. It was Donatello, who was having as much trouble breathing as he was. He guided them away from the smoke and those who were after them. In their blind escape they ran into a Purple Dragon, who took hold of Donatello. The Dragon had his arm locked on his neck. Against his better judgment, Donatello began to panic in his grasp. The gas was difficult enough. When he began to struggle against his captive, he felt him constrict his arm against his neck. His breathing was completely cut off. Michelangelo, with his blurred vision charged at Donatello's captive, forcing him to release. He picked up his brother, who was now heaving. Helping him run, they got away once again. However, in his panic he had led them into a dead-end. They instinctively tried to climb the wall blocking their way, but the ninja descended from the rooftops and surround them. Michelangelo's vision was beginning to focus.

They were cornered.

"I had to run in here," Michelangelo said.

"And you had to follow Leo," Donatello said.

" Hey hey, brothers shouldn't fight, we all know this is Raph's fault, him and Casey."

The men were approaching them now, Donatello and Michelangelo had their backs to the wall. Their hearts were pounding. Michelangelo grinned.

"We can take 'em," he said getting into a fighting position.

One of the men pulled out a sword and attacked Michelangelo. He dodged in a panic.

Donatello pulled him down before the man was able to strike him. They stumbled to the ground.

"Just how were you planning on fighting ten armed men!"

Michelangelo pushed Donatello when he saw the man attacking them again. Donatello rolled and got back up. The blade missed Michelangelo, who kicked up to hit the ninja. The attacker stumbled back and Michelangelo jumped to his feet. He ran to Donatello before he could get to them. Then he threw an object to the ground and the place was covered with smoke. Michelangelo pulled Donatello to the wall telling him to climb over.

Donatello felt something hit his leg, but he made it over. The ninja swarmed over to them. They took hold of the brothers. Michelangelo fought them off, and was able to escape them. He looked over to his brother who was swaying back and forth, his leg bleeding. All the while, Michelangelo was keeping the ninja from taking hold of him.

They took out their weapons, his eyes widened when they attacked.

One of them had managed to strike him on the back of his head. Black spots danced before his eyes. He dodged, but felt the sword cut through his leg. He fell to the ground as another person stabbed a blade through his shoulder. He rolled over to his back; he looked up, and saw someone with a sword over his head. Michelangelo shut his eyes waiting for the final blow, but it never came. Through the pain, he opened his eyes again, expecting to see the ninja, but instead he saw Raphael, out of breathe, blocking the sword with his. He was fighting them off. Michelangelo scanned the area for Donatell, but the pain was unbearable. In a few moments he fainted.

Raphael saw his brother covered in blood and pale. He kept fighting the ninja while trying to protect Michelangelo. Then he saw them go after Donatello. Michelangelo was bleeding to death, and he couldn't get to Donatello. He never wanted to be put in a situation like this; he never thought he would have to make this choice.

Michelangelo's life, or Donatello's.

He would never give up on either. He would give his life for both. The choice, however, was already being made for him. He looked over to Donatello and saw the ninja taking him. Raphael wanted to fight them, but they disappeared. Kari was among them, Donatello didn't stand a chance. Before his eyes, he saw Donatello struggle as they took him away. In an instant he was gone. Raphael kept reaching for his brothers, but in the corner of his eye- a red river. He had to focus his effort. Michelangelo was pale, and the ground around him was stained a dark red. He picked him up over his shoulders, and fought off the ninja.

He had to get him out, but he couldn't keep fighting them all. Raphael swiped a smoke pellet from one of the ninja, and threw it on the ground. He quickly ran back to Leonardo in their confusion. Michelangelo woke up when Raphael was laying him next to Leonardo, who was still asleep. Raphael didn't notice it as he was running, but one of the darts had hit his arm.

"Donny...where's…" Michelangelo only managed to say those two words.

"Mikey, try not to move," Raphael said, turning to Leonardo.

Leonardo moaned and woke up as Raphael was shaking him.

"Raph…?" Leonardo glanced over to Michelangelo. "Mikey! What happened?"

"Clam down," Raphael's vision began to blur. "Call an ambulance, for you and Mikey."

"And… Don?" Leonardo's voice was slurred.

"I don't know where he is… when I… went back for Mikey… they took Don. I…I tried…"

Raphael collapsed before he could finish.

"Raph….He was there… I saw him… I…." Michelangelo's voice was getting fainter. Leonardo crawled over to Michelangelo and turned to Raphael. The effects of the dart were wearing off, but he still needed to get to a hospital. He reached for his phone, which he had turned off before he arrived and called an ambulance.
