Raph and Mikey Brotherly Fluff and Comfort Oneshots TMNT 2012

Chapter 12: Clash of the Mutanimals Alternate Version

    So this one was requested by CelesteLucretia. Again, I haven't seen any of the episodes, but I'll do my best. Enjoy.

    Leo, Donnie, and Mikey were anxiously in the lair. They haven't seen Raph since their last patrol; he'd been taken captive by Shredder himself. Who knows what's happening to him right now? Leo and Donnie were pretty worried themselves, but Mikey? He was the most concerned; Raph was his best friend after all. Out of all his brothers, he and Raph were the closest to each other. The youngest could still clearly remember him and his brothers running into the footbots during patrol, the fight, Shredder himself entering the fray, which already made things more intense. Mikey himself had gotten seized by Shredder and had been threatened with death should the others make a move. However, Raph had offered himself in the youngest's place, much to everyone else's shock and Mikey's horror-and also much to Shredder's pleasure.

    Now Mikey was currently in his room, sitting on the floor with his shell against his bed and knees pulled up to his chest, sobbing into them at Raph's capture. If only he'd paid better attention. The door opened, but Mikey didn't take any notice-until he felt a hand on his shoulder. He glanced up to see that it was Leo. This only renewed his tears as he threw himself at the oldest, arms wrapping tightly around him. Leo just returned the embrace, letting him cry into his plastron. "Don't worry, Mikey," he whispered. "We'll find him. I promise."

    A few days later, Mikey was just coming out of his room to see that his friends were here. April O' Neil and Casey Jones were here, along with Slash, Pete the Piegon, Dr. Rockwell, and Leatherhead, who came running in at that moment, panting. "Leatherhead!" Mikey exclaimed, racing towards his gator friend.

    He wrapped Leatherhead in a big hug, the gator returning it just as Leo, Donnie, and Splinter entered the room. "What's going on, Mikey?" asked Leo.

    "I don't know," answered Mikey. "But Leatherhead came running in here. He must've been in distress; just look at all these scratch marks on his cute, tortured gator face. Awwww."

    "It is true," Leatherhead said. "And I'm afraid I bring dire news: Raphael has been taken under Shredder's control."

    Mikey's eyes widened. His brother and best friend? Under Shredder's control?! That was horrible! "How?" asked Leo.

    "I don't know," Leatherhead replied. "But when I came across him, he suddenly attacked me as if his soul purpous was to get rid of me."

    "That's horrible!" Donnie said.

    "We have to get him to snap out of it!" added Mikey.

    "It won't be as easy as you think," Leatherhead warned. "It's only been a few days, and Shredder has already made Raphael loyal to him alone."

    "Still, we have to try," said Mikey, determination in his eyes. "There's good in him; I know it."

    "Then we must hurry if we are to save him," said Splinter, who had entered at that moment. "It would not be as late as you think it is."

    Everyone agreed.
......................................................................................................
    Soon, they were all at Shredder's lair, fighting off the foot again, not to mention Shredder's henchmen as well. Mikey wanted to help, but Leo told him to go find Raph. "We'll be fine!" he said. "Just go save Raph ancd contact us as soon as you can!"

    A bit reluctantly, Mikey agreed. Remembering that Donnie said that Raph was in the lower levels of the building, he decided to check there. Eventually arriving at a storage unit place, he wandered around, but kept his nunchucks out and ready, just in case. Suddenly, his ninja senses warned him, causing him to jump out of the way just as someone barreled towards him ready to pounce.
