Mission Failed ~ Leonardo x Reader

Chapter Fifteen

[Your POV]

"LET GO OF ME, YOU DOLLAR STORE GARFIELD!" I screamed as Tigerclaw's hold only tightened on me as we walked through Shredder's lair. He held me like a football, with me facing behind him. I kicked at him but none of my hits landed. He didn't say a single word the entire time, but Rahzar, Fishface, Bebop, and Rocksteady were staring at me and talking smack.

"How hard is it to catch an incompetent teenager?" Fishface asked Bebop, clearly giving him flack for when he and Rocksteady failed to catch Leo and I back at the docks.

"Clearly very hard, since you guys couldn't catch them in the first place!" Bebop growled. 

"At least we mutated one." Rahzar said.

"The boy named Blake mutated himself." Rocksteady argued. The four continued to bicker while Tigerclaw let out a sigh and rolled his eyes. I attempted to kick him, but he caught my leg and bent it in an awkward, painful angle. I gritted my teeth and winced.

"Do not worry, young one. Your pain will end soon." Fishface said with a grin, getting all up in my face. I shot a loogie right in his eye, making him reel back and shriek. Bebop burst into laughter and Rahzar went to get the loogie out of his eye. "DO NOT TOUCH ME!" The fish man cried. "You will poke my eye out with those claws!"

As my surroundings changed, a huge green glow covered the room and I knew exactly where we were. "Show me an empty tank." Tigerclaw demanded.

"Of course, Tigerclaw." I heard Baxter Stockman say, followed by a little buzz. As Tigerclaw followed the fly-man up the stairs, I got a good look of Stockman's lab. The empty cages and tanks that lined every wall and the oversized container of mutagen in the middle of the room. That mutagen...it's where Blake...

I couldn't even finish my thought. I was suddenly hoisted up and thrown full force into one of the tanks. I rolled across the concrete floor, hitting the wall. A glass barrier slammed down in the entrance and locked me inside. I groggily got up to see Tigerclaw talking to Stockman behind the glass. As he walked away, the fly-man pressed some buttons on the keypad next to the glass barrier. I got up walked towards him, leaning against the glass. "What are you doing?" I mumbled.

"Oh nothing really." Stockman said, pressing one final button. "Just cutting off your oxygen." My eyes widened. "You shouldn't panic. You'll wanna save your breath." I held my breath as he flew away. I broke into a cold sweat and had to hold back from hyperventilating. I scurried to the tiny vent at the bottom of the wall and held my hand over it. Nothing. There was no air circulating in or out. I gulped and backed away, leaning against the wall. Is this really happening? Is this where I die? Slowly losing the ability to breathe?

I looked around my containment unit, finding it completely bare. There was nothing. Only me. The vent was way too small for me to crawl through, let alone fit my arm through. I pressed my ear against the glass, hoping to hear what my captors were talking about. "The turtles have discovered our hiding spot, which means we'll have to go with Plan B." Tigerclaw said.

"There is a B Plan?" Rocksteady asked, scratching his horn in confusion.

"Uh, yeah. Since when?" Bebop asked.

"Since NOW!" Tigerclaw yelled, smacking Bebop in the back of the head. "We'll release the Yara-Ma-Yha-Who here, in the lab."

"WHAT!? We can't release something like that here!? Why not anywhere else!?" Stockman demanded an answer, only to get his throat gripped by Tigerclaw, who pinned him against his dashboard. "C-Careful! Do you have any idea how pristine this equipment is!?" He spat.

"I don't care." Tigerclaw growled lowly, making everyone take a step back. "We are going to free it here and soon release it to the world. Do you know why we are going to free it here?" His claws dug into the tissue of Stockman's skin, so he just shook his head. "Because the turtles will be here. We have the blue one's favorite, so there's no doubt they'll make their way here soon. That's when we'll release our aboriginal monster."

"But...uhm, Mr. Tigerclaw sir..." Bebop started, gulping. "We don't have the box to release it. The turtles do."

"For now." Tigerclaw grinned, baring his fang and reaching into his belt pocket. He held up a handheld device with a tiny screen. "I put a tracker on the leader." My eyes widened and I gasped, quickly covering my mouth.

Rocksteady cheered and gave Tigerclaw a pat on the back, making him finally let go of Stockman. "Good job, my friend! We will find ze box in zero time!" The rhino said with a smile.

"Won't he notice the tracker?" Rahzar asked. "I-I mean- uh- I don't mean to doubt you-"

"Well, I do." Fishface snarled. "Those turtles are highly trained ninjas, you don't think a single one of them would notice a tracker?"

"Not if it's inside him." Tigerclaw said. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. I paled, scratching at the floor. "He'll think he's simply bruised up after a beating, but I injected a tracking serum inside his plastron while he was unconscious." The villains cheered as I balled my hand into a fist and punched the glass.

"YOU MONSTER!" I screamed, punching the glass again.

"Uhhh should we be worried about that?" Bebop asked.

"There's no way they'll get through it. It's an indestructible barrier. The only thing that will set them free is this ol' thing." Stockman said, pointing to his giant fly eyeball. Bebop and Rocksteady cringed. "It's an eye scanner, you idiots."

Tigerclaw waltzed up to my tank, smirking at me and running his claw against the glass. A loud shrieking sound rang out and a chill ran throughout my entire body. I pressed my hands against my ears and closed my eyes. An evil giggle escaped from his mouth and he beckoned to Stockman. He pressed some buttons and I felt the temperature in the room raise dramatically. I attempted not to pant as sweat dripped down my head and through the back of my shirt. "Don't get too excited to see your friends again. You'll be dead by the time they get here."

"I hate you."

"Save your breath for your last words." Tigerclaw said, turning his back on me. "Rahzar and Fishface, you stay here with Stockman and guard the lab. Rocksteady, you stand watch and keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Bebop, you come with me."

"Ooooh he picked me to be his partner in criiiime." Bebop flaunted, moonwalking towards the tiger, who promptly grabbed him by the mohawk, making the warthog man squeal.

"If you mess this up, I will personally get you your own containment unit, just like this one." He gestured to me as I struggled to stand. Everything was hot, the walls, the floor, the barrier. It was becoming harder and harder to breathe. I attempted to wipe the sweat from my forehead and I slumped over.

I would cry for my friends for help...but I don't want them to die trying to save me...
