Squirrelanoids Attack (TMNT fanfic)

Chapter 11

Splinter's P.O.V.

I left my sons by themselves in the dojo, as I went to take care of my distant cousin that was unconscious on the floor and get some supplies for my sons.

I was walking to the lab when I heard my sons, Donatello and Michelangelo, talking. I could not make of what they were saying, but it did not matter to me at the moment.

They need to process on what has happened today.

I walked up the steps into the lab and looked around, then to the place where I last left the creature.

My eyes widened in shock as I noticed that the creature was no longer there. I ran inside the lab fully, and checked the entire lab from top to bottom.

There was no sign of the squirrel at all. I let out a frustrated sigh and just retrieved the supplies I was in charged of bringing for Donatello.

I walked out of the lab and stopped at the steps; I looked back inside and noticed that it was a mess. Donatello was going to be devastated.

I continued to walk to the dojo. I was about to walk in, until I heard a faint screech outside the lair entrance.

I faced the entrance, "we have not seen the last of you, my cousin."

~~~~~

No P.O.V.

Splinter entered the dojo doors and gave Donatello the supplies he had asked for.

Donnie bowed, "thank you sensei."

Splinter nodded, "you are very welcome. Is there anything I can be of assistance, Donatello?"

Donnie looked at Splinter and gave him a slight nod. "That would be great sensei." He said and looked at Mikey then back to Splinter. "Do you think you can help me treat Mikey's wound?"

"Of course," Splinter said, with a soft smile appearing on his face.

"Um, sensei?" Donnie said, sounding uncertain. He spoke again once his master looked at him. "I should warn you too, I already told Mikey, but when you clean the wound, try not to stop. Mikey is going to be in so much pain."

Splinter's eyes widened, "how grave will the pain be?"

"Enough to make Raph cry, sensei. When we all know he's pretty tough." Donnie said with a sad smile.

Splinter frowned and nodded. He removed the bandages carefully from Michelangelo's shoulder. He cringed, and so did Donnie, as Mikey's wound was turning yellow. Splinter grabbed the spray canister from the floor and stared into his youngest son's eyes.

Mikey was full of fear as his father was near him with the disinfectant spray.

Splinter shook the canister and sprayed him.

Mikey's eyes widened and yelped as he pulled away and scooted to the oak tree in the dojo. "That really hurt!"

Splinter shook his head, "I do not think that I can do this Donatello. It pains me to see that any of you could go through this pain. I do apologize."

Donnie sadly nodded. "I totally understand sensei. I can handle Mikey, can you just help me treat Raph? He has the same injury, but he's unconscious. His body might twitch but that would just be a reaction."

Splinter slowly nodded and walked away from Mikey, to Raph.

He kneeled down and removed Raphael's bandages. He retrieved a different disinfecting spray, shook it, and sprayed it on Raph's wound.
