Caught (TMNT fanfic)

Chapter 10

Shredder walked into the door to see Mikey panting.

Mikey spotted him and tried to put on his best strong face. "No matter what, I am not telling you where my home is at! My brothers are looking for me right now! I bet tha-"

"Your brothers?" Shredder interrupted, "they don't care for you, nor have they ever did!"

Mikey stayed quiet for a few seconds then spoke up. "You're wrong Shred-head! They care for me because I'm-"

"You're what, worthless, pathetic, stupid, obnoxious! You mean nothing to them!" Shredder stopped to let it sink in. "If they really cared about you, then why aren't they here? Looking for you? Helping you escape? Yet you are still here with me, suffering."

Mikey looked away trying to not let the tears come out. "You're wrong! And even if they didn't care about me, I still care for them. So no matter what, I will not, repeat not, tell you, where the lair is!" Mikey faced him and stood his ground, well, sat.

Shredder grunted, "I will get my answer Michelangelo!" He walked to him, he unsheathed his gauntlet and struck across his shell.

Mikey gasped and fell back on the bed. Tears filled his eyes as they rolled to the back of his head, and laid there unconscious.

Shredder sheathed his gauntlet and called Baxter.

Baxter bowed, "yes Master Shredder?"

"I need you to build a machine that will torment, Michelangelo. Something that will make him think that he is in the real world, but they are just visions that I can control."

Baxter smiled then nodded. "How did you come up with such a good idea, sir?" Baxter asked enthusiastically.

"I had a very interesting conversation with the turtle." He turned to him. "Now get started on that machine!" He commanded.

"Hai, Master Shredder." Baxter ran out the door and almost tripped from excitement.

Shredder looked at Mikey one last time and walked out the door. He was going to enjoy doing this to him.

Donnie's P.O.V.

"Alright so let me get this straight, you guys already want to save Mikey, in a couple of hours, in these conditions!" I whispered yelled, I didn't want Master Splinter to hear.

"Donnie, it might sound crazy, but come on!" Leo whisper yelled too. "We can't just leave Mikey in the hands of the Shredder. I never thought I'd say this, but I agree with Raph. It's not fair that Mikey is over there getting... who knows what?" Leo said to me, looking at me with dedication.

I saw Raph nodding, "so what's the plan again?" I said in defeat.

They both smiled warmly until their smiles faded and looked behind me. Before I could turn around, I was smacked in the back of my head.

I grunted and rubbed the back of my head and finally turned around, to see Master Splinter. I quickly stood up and bowed.

He had that angry face that scared us all. "What plan are you speaking of?" He asked calmly, so calmly that it was so scary.

Raph and I both faced Leo, he looked at us, irritated, then calmed his face to see Splinter.

"Well umm... It was a plan about, uh..." Splinter gave him that glare that says 'get to the point, now'. "We were planning on saving Mikey, tonight."

Splinter grunted then calmed down. "Oh really?" He said sarcastically. "And are you ready to save your brother in these conditions?"

Raph nodded to himself, but I noticed that Splinter eyed him. "Raphael." He said strictly. "Stand up." When he did, Splinter slowly approached him. "Extend your arm."

Raph looked at him in fear. "W-what?" He was scared, I can totally tell.

"Extend your arm." He repeated softly.

"Why Sensei? I don't think that there's a reason to." He said while stepping back, but slowly.

Splinter quickly grabbed Raph's arm and stared into his eyes.

Raph yelped but quickly closed his mouth. He gritted his teeth, "never better."

Splinter narrowed his eyes and I think he added pressure cause he was almost about to scream in pain.

"Are you sure Raphael?" He asked him again.

Tears were stinging his eyes as Splinter was still holding his arm. "Ow! Sensei, stop!" Splinter released and walked to the dojo door.

"You will not leave the lair until you are all better, understood!"

"Hai Sensei." We said at the same time as he left.

"You alright Raph?" I asked him.

He stayed silent but nodded 'yes'.

"So what are we going to do now?" I asked Leo.

"I hate to say this, but Sensei is right. We can't prepare for battle in these conditions, we could all get killed along with Mikey." Raph was about to argue until he realized that Leo was right.

It's going to be a long time before we're able to go save Mikey.

'Stay safe little brother. We'll be there before you know it.'

Hopefully.
