Caught (TMNT fanfic)

Chapter 6

Mikey struggled against the restraints that Shredder's henchmen tied him to. Mikey stopped moving when Shredder came into view.

"Let me go Shred-head!" Mikey yelled when he gave Shredder the best evil eye he could pass off.

"Not until you tell me where your lair is!" Shredder spat but only got silence from Mikey. "Very well." He reached for a tool that was on a table next to him and showed it to Mikey. It looked like a bear trap, claw thing. "Do you know what this is?" He asked a rhetorical question. "Hopefully this will help me get an answer out of you." He said as he stepped closer.

"No! Stop! Get away from me!" Mikey struggled as Shredder held down one wrist even more than the restraints.

"I will give you one last chance Michelangelo, where is your lair?" Shredder yelled; a smiled formed when he didn't get an answer. "This is going to hurt you more than it hurts me." He said as he opened the claw like thing and placed it over his wrist.

Shredder laughed as he let go of the handle. It swung shut and pierced right through Mikey's left wrist. A loud, sickening scream of pure pain escaped Mikey's lips.

The pain was agonizing. A tear escaped his eye as he looked at his hand. There was blood dripping on the floor and blades that were in and popping out of his wrist; he couldn't feel anything.

Mikey screamed again when Shredder carelessly yanked the blades out.

Shredder placed it down and picked up a different tool. This one was a hammer. He walked toward him and stopped. "Where is your lair?"

"I'll never tell!" Mikey yelled.

Shredder nodded and held the hammer tightly. He aimed for his already damaged wrist and swung hard. A loud crack filled his ears as Mikey screamed again. More tears streamed down his face.

The blow was so hard that blood splattered on Shredder's armor and some on Mikey's shell.

Shredder looked at himself and grunted. "This will continue later." He looked at Mikey's wrist; it was swollen and blood was oozing out of it. "Bradford! Xever!"

They both came in and bowed to their master.

"Take Michelangelo back to his cell. And do not be gentle with his wrist restraints." He smirked as he saw Mikey's face.

Mikey was screaming in agony as they were yanking on his wrist chains. He cried in pain as they threw him in the cell and slammed the door shut.

When he knew that they were gone, Mikey cried aloud. He looked at his wrist and knew that it was definitely broken. He winced when he barley touched it. He sobbed and leaned on the wall.

"I bet my brothers are having more fun than I am." He said and cried to himself.

Master Splinter stared at Leo, who had just moved in his unconscious state.

Leo slowly opened his ocean blue eyes and scanned the area. He met with Splinter's eyes.

"Leonardo, how are you feeling my son?" Splinter asked curiously.

"Like I've been stabbed Sensei." Leo answered as he tried to get up but gasped when a pain shot through his side; he immediately fell back on the couch.

"Do not move too much, you have been stabbed twice in the same spot my son." Splinter said, hiding his concern.

Leo sighed and faced his master. "Where are the others? Are they alright?"

Splinter looked away and sighed. "Donatello and Raphael are alright but for Michelangelo he..."

Leo waited but then couldn't anymore. "What about Mikey, Sensei?"

Splinter closed his eyes and then spoke, "he, has been taken Leonardo. By the Shredder. We know nothing of him at the moment." He said sadly.

Leo's eyes went wide and he stared at nothing in specific.

Splinter looked away and called for his sons. "Raphael, Donatello. May you please come in here?"

Donnie showed up, almost in an instant and bowed. "What's the matter Sensei?" He looked at his master then at Leo. "Leo! You're awake!" He yelled in joy and went into doctor mode. "What hurts? Do you need anything? Water? Or a pain med? Or a-"

"Donatello!" Splinter said a bit to loud and harshly. "Give your brother time. I just told him the grave news you two brought me." He stopped and looked around. "Where is Raphael?"

Donnie looked away and sighed. "Umm... Me and Raph, sort of had an argument."

Splinter looked at his son and raised an eyebrow, "what kind of argument?"

"Well Raph kept saying that we should go rescue Mikey tonight, but I kept saying that with these injuries we could risk all of our lives. I told him that we must heal first."

Splinter nodded, "you did well Donatello, thank you for sticking to what was right and what was wrong."

Donnie nodded and bowed. "Thank you Sensei."

Splinter gave a slight nod and stood up. "I will go seek for Raphael. I want you two to stay here. Am I clear?"

"Hai." Donnie and Leo said in unison.

"We shall return shortly. When I return with him, we will discuss of this matter." Splinter said and left the two boys staring at him.
