I don't own TMNT
Donnie knew why Leo had seperated him from Raphael for the time being, and although he knew Leo was just trying to keep any fights from happening, he also knew that Leo had made a wrong choice. Raphael- although he didn't want to admit it- was still recovering from his little bug, and he needed to be there in case worse came to worse and the red masked turtle needed any medical help. At the same time, him and Raphael never really fought, and he had gained his older brother's trust over the years, and if he lost it now by caring too much, he might never get to gain that trust back. So, he listened to his oldest brother- his leader- like he always did. Now here he was, walking besides Mikey as they silently followed the splashing of someone's feet. As the walked on he couldn't help but shiver at the freezing cold sewers, the sewers were ten times colder than the air outside, and the damp walls and wet floors weren't helping any.
"Dude, are we getting any closer?" Mikey asked, a frown upon his face.
"Afraid not Mikey, if anything it sounds like we're getting farther away." He rest his hand on his cheek, thinking of why that might be when it hit him, "There's more than one." He whispered to his younger brother and he looked around. If there was more than one, why didn't they see anyone? He didn't move as realization dawned on him, then he shouted, "It's the foot tech soldiers!" He called.
Of course the shout had obviously given the answer away and before he knew it Donnie was lying against the wall from where he had been kicked in the plastron, Mikey yelling his name as he did his best to attack his invisible foe. Don blinked slowly before springing into action and swinging his bo staff at the ground, in an attempt to trip the ninja who was currently beating his little brother. However, he missed and felt a fist connect with the side of his face. "Ughh.." He groaned, putting his arms infront of his face as onslaught of fists and kicks came towards his face. A few moments later, the fists and feet were gone, and he looked up and saw Mikey standing over the now visible ninja.
"Mikey! The Battle Nexus Champion does it again!"
Donnie smiled but rolled his eyes, looking down at the foot ninja, "We should tell Leo and Raph." He stated, not even bothering to wait for Mikey's response as he pulled out his shellcell.
"Did you find them?"
"You mean them."
There was silene on the other line for a moment.
"You mean there's more than one person?"
Donnie could tell Leo was worried, the lair had already been invaded twice already, they didn't want to add anymore to it. "Yes. Foot tech. Me and Mikey just took out one of them, but I don't know how many are down here."
"Got it."
With that, Leo hung up and Don looked up at Mikey, "We should go find them. They might need our help."
"Sure thing Don." Mikey responded, and began walking back the way they came.
Don followed suit, and sighed softly. It had already been an hour and a half, Raphael shouldn't be in this cold. Before he could think any more on the topic, Mikey let out a yelp and went flying across the sewer tunnel, and hit the wall. "Mikey!" Don ran over to his brother's side, who was groaning and rubbing his head. Luckily, his brother's shell had taken most of the impact and he was just a little dazed.
The purple clad turtle quickly turned around, staring at the sewer he was in, one of the invisible soldiers was in here somewhere. He just needed a way to see them. Frowning he kept still, and tried to think of a way to do so, that's when he heard it. The soft splat of water, he lunged forward, his bo staff hitting the small cloaking device on the foot soldier, as it sparked. "There you are!" Mikey shouted, and Donnie kicked the black clad ninja into the wall behind him, knocking him out.
"Are you okay Mikey?"
"I'm fine, bro." The youngest turtle laughed and Don nodded.
He started walking towards where he had last seen his two older brothers with a sigh, "Let's keep walking then."
Meanwhile, things were going just as bad with Raph and Leo, if anything, they were going worse. However Leo noticced something. They weren't really attacking him, as much as they were attacking Raph. There was about five of them in total, and usually they weren't that hard to defeat, but with Raphael still not feeling bak to him old self completely, he was having a bit of trouble.
"Why is-" Raph thrust a sai infront of him, and growled when it was just thin air, "-there so many of'em?"
"I don't know!" Leo exclaimed, he felt a hand in his chest and grunted, grabbing it and slamming the soldier down, as soon as he connected to the ground he became visible.
Raphael seemed to be having trouble, and Leo decided enough was enough. Taking two large jumps back he closed his eyes and concentrated on the sounds around him. He scowled and whipped his body around, slashing through another soldier with his katana, then looked back to Raph, who had managed to take two others down. Now there was one question. Where was the third one?
Both brothers looked around them, but it was silent, and just as Leo thought they were all gone and turned towards Raph he saw it. The light reflecting off metal, the shine of something sharp, and it was closest to Raphael, he lunged fowards, calling his brother's name as he did so. Raphael jumped back and Leo felt relief wash through him when the katana just barely sliced his younger brother's cheek. Raphael growled, and looked around him, seeing the light bounce off the metal and swatting the blade away, sending his other fist into the foot's head. There was the sound of the soldier's body dropping to the ground like a sack of potatoes and then it was silent once again.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine Raph." Leo didn't point out his hot headed brother's cut, knowing it would only start an arguement and instead looked down to the black clad ninjas around them. "We should cath up to Don and Mikey."
"Ya, ya.." Raphael spun his sai before putting them away, and Leo sighed softly. Sheething his own katanas.
When Mikey saw his older brothers walk out towards them he knew they had found the rest of the foot. Not only was Raphael cut, but Leo had that look of hatred on his fae that he saved for the Shredder and his diciples and he sighed softly. "Are they all gone?"
"We finished the rest of them off." Leo muttered, and Raphael grinned, cracking his knuckles.
"They won't be down here fer awhile."
With that they all started for home again. Mikey tried to ignore the tension between his brothers. Leo was just utterly pissed off, Donnie kept checking on Raph, and the red masked turtle was beginning to grow annoyed. Things were changing around here and he didn't like it, Raph was always getting sick, Leo's attitude was coming out more because he was worrying about Raph, and Donnie was barely sleeping. Sure, all of this was affecting him too, but he did his best at hiding it.
"Raph I want to clean that cut."
"I'm fine Donnie!" Raphael snapped back.
"I know you're fine! But for all we know that blade could have touched the water. I'm pretty sure you don't want that." He responded and Raphael hesitantly agreed with a "Yeah...whateva."
Leo didn't seem to listen to there small arguement, and instead opened the lair door, going straight into the dojo to get rid of whatever was frustrating him. Don and Raph went into the lab, and Mikey found himself alone, standing next to the couch. He sighed softly and pouted, before falling back onto the old cushions and snatching up the T.V remote, flipping the input and grabbing the old controller to his gaming system.
He looked over, through the crack in the dojo doors to where Leo was going through katas, and then glanced at the closed lab door, where he could hear his brother's hushed voices. Today was just like any other, but why did it feel so different?
