Healing Him

Part 7

The turtles' main enemies, Shredder and Krang and their hench mutants hadn't been seen for a couple weeks. Before Donatello's incident, the boys had only been dealing with street thugs mostly. But now, they were one turtle short.

The turtles and Splinter were staying with Donatello all the time at the clinic until he would be well enough to go home. It had only been 2 days since Donny had awoken from his three day sleep.

April had been really busy for the past several days and hadn't contacted her friends, but when there was a report that a power plant had been broken into downtown, April looked at the printed results first and then contacted her friends.

"April to Turtles." She said.

At the clinic, the mutant family was all having their lunch when Leonardo's turtle com started going off. He picked it up and opened it.

"Hi, April. What's up?"

"There's been a break in at the power plant downtown. The results said that Shredder and his mutants are down there trying to steal power." April said.

"We'll be right there. Thanks, April." Leo said and hung up. Then he looked at the others. "Fellas, we have work to do."

Donatello was sitting up against the wall to try to eat his lunch, but at this interruption, he knew he couldn't go.

"Go, my turtles. I will stay with Donatello." Splinter said.

Leo, Raph, and Mike reluctantly left, but not before Donatello saying that if they needed help with anything related to technology, he was only a turtle com call away and he would try his best to guide them through it.

"I hope they don't run into any trouble." Donatello said.

"I'm sure they can manage, Donatello." Splinter said.

Donatello wished he could be out having the fun with his brothers, but he couldn't rush his recovery.

When the trio got to the power plant, Shredder was having Bebop and Rocksteady getting some power packs out of a closet with security guards tied up in the background.

"Hurry up, you dolts!" Shredder shouted at his minions. "We have to get out of here before the turtles show up."

"We're already here, Shredder!" Leonardo shouted as he and Raphael and Michelangelo jump kicked through a door.

"Ahh! What does it take to keep you turtles out of my business?" Shredder complained.

"The day you stop trying to take over the world." Raphael remarked.

Bebop and Rocksteady attacked the turtles, but were easily flung away. Shredder then attacked and he did manage to get past the three turtles. His minions followed him. They ran for their module that was nearby.

"Let's get 'em guys." Leo ordered and the three of them ran after their enemies.

By the time they caught up with them, they were in the module and escaped under the ground.

"Oh, they got away." Mike said.

"They do all the time." Raph replied.

"At least we stopped them from taking the power packs." Leo said. Then the three of them went back to the zoo clinic.

Splinter and Donny were glad that the three of them returned without any major damage done to them.

On their way back to the Technodrome, Shredder and his minions talked about how they had noticed in the end that there had been only three turtles facing off with them instead of the usual four. That was unusual. They knew Donatello was no coward. Even he would have been there, unless he had been in a backup spot that they didn't go out of.
