Breathless (One-shot)

You'll be okay

Space isn't fun. Mikey thought while sighing. Sure, there was lots of cool stuff in space, but he missed home.

He knew his brothers and his two human friends felt the same way. He knew he is not the only one missing Splinter, the lair, and all of their mutant friends. But no one really could do anything about it right now. They just need to find the pieces of the black hole generator, and hopefully, then they can go back home.

The mission that was on this planet sounded easy: get the piece of the generator, then go back to the ship.

It would have been easy if the planet wasn't strongly affecting the turtles and Casey, to be way more vicious towards each other. Their screaming and fighting got to the nerves of the professor and April.

"Stop!" Fugitoid stopped them with a warning blast from his robot hands on the ground close to their feet. "You are acting like children! Let's finish this, and then you can bicker like toddlers. "

They went silent but still looked at each other non-friendly. They continued walking till the silence was broken by April.

"Guys, look!" She pointed to a weird looking stone that was huge with carved symbols on it.
"Woah dude! That's not a normal rock, is it?" Casey exclaimed.

"That's not a normal rock!" Fugitoid was annoyed by Casey's statement. "That's -"
"AHH! BAT-DEMON CREATURES!!" Mikey interrupted the professor while pointing at scary-looking monsters that were flying at them full speed.

"EVERYONE! TAKE COVER!" Leo gave orders as he hid behind a tall looking like seaweed. Raph went on top of those green leafs while Casey, April, Fugitoid, and Donnie hid somewhere that they can't be seen.

Mikey was a different story. He had nowhere to hide at, so he took the safest option: behind a rock that was just about behind him.

It's not the best option. Raph looked at him and facepalmed. He saw how one of the monsters was near Mikey. It's not like Raph will admit it, but he loves and cares for his brothers.
That's why he grabbed Mikey and got him up the leaf. If those creatures do find them, at least he will protect Mikey.

Raph's hand was shushing Mike, so he doesn't squeak out of suprise.

He saw the bat creatures flying away - all but without the bat that was near Mikey's rock. He wasn't getting away! He probably sensed that Mikey's preference was there somehow. The bat never stopped looking around, and that's when Raph realized that the monster won't get away without a fight. "You won't budge, huh?! Guess I need to make you move!" He whispered angrily.

Mikey had no idea of what's happening anymore due to things going very fast for such a short time.
The red masked turtle jumped from his spot and to the ground, standing in front of the bat. He spun his weapon and challenged the monster with only a smirk.

As they battled, Mikey observed, and he sighed as he too jumped, trying to air kick the monster in the head, but instead it, he hit Raph. They both collided and fell to the ground. Raph growled angrily. He pushed Mikey off of him and sighed, annoyed. He looked at the now flying away bat. He turned back to the stone to see it glowing and pointing with it's light somewhere not so far from them but not seeable where it would point at.

"I was about to say before I was rudely interrupted... This stone must be showing us where one of the pieces from the black hole generator is. I'm pretty sure that the light drove away the creatures, as well!" Fugitoid said
