Raphael is writhing in such pain. Throughout the ride, Osa, Donnie, Kharoma, and the other horses galloped to Anzen. Osa looked over her shoulder, seeing the infected people running after her and the group.

Soon, they lost the hoard of people and kept the pace going until they pulled in front of Anzen. When the two brothers, Osa, and horses came onto the school's property, everyone in range could hear Raph's guttural cries. This trap is really digging into his flesh.

Kharoma came to a halt with the horses, witnessing the shocking scene. Leonardo is the first to run outside, seeing that a ruckus is stirring up in front of his home. "What the hell happened here?!" Leonardo barked at them. "Guys, what--what is all of this?" He yelled, gesturing to the truck and full trailer with Raph still groaning in pain.

Osa steps out of the truck, slams the door, and replies. "We got supplies!" She says urgently. "And Raph is hurt."

"What the-- why is there blood all over the three of you?" He conversed, watching Donnie help Raph out of the back of the truck.

"It isn't our blood," Don answered, assisting Raph. "Leo, we'll talk about this later. Please, just help us!"

Leo didn't have time to answer. He breathed out and was feeling quite overwhelmed with all sorts of things. He's confused about his brothers and Osa being outside with horses, he dislikes that they were out there in the first place, and he is concerned about Raphael. He rushed to the back of the truck and saw the condition Raph's ankle was in with the bear trap. Leo shuddered. "Oh my--"

Then, Donnie caught sight of Clementine and Duke walking out of the school. "Hey, guys!" Donnie hopped out from the back of the truck as Anzians watched horrifically. "One of you get the hatchet inside the main office! He's gonna lose his foot." He painted out to them.

"WHAT?!" Raph shrieked. "No, no, no! Donnie, you can save my foot!"

"Got it!" Clem gave Donnie a thumbs up, running back into the school.

Osa climbed into the back of the truck. "Raph, your foot is practically broken!"

"NO!! No, please, please, please! You can save it!" Raph cried, clutching the side of the truck, and seeing Clementine toss Donnie the hatchet-- a clean thing blade that is ready to slice through anything soft. "Donnie, stop! Leo!! Please, I am begging all of you!"

Don ignored Raph's words, but then glanced at Osa and Leo, unsure if he should even chop off Raphael's almost-long-gone foot. He breathed in, looked at Raph's very still foot stuck in the jaws of this trap, and looked at his brother. Donatello can see the fear in Raph's eyes, serious about sparing his foot. He couldn't do it... "No." Don brought the hatchet down. "Forget it."

"Thank you!!" Raph breathed heavily, watching Donnie drop the hatchet off the side of the vehicle.

"Leo," Donnie looks at his brother. "Can you help me pry the trap?"

He nodded quickly, getting into the back and putting himself into position. Together, Leo and Donnie prepare to pry open the bloody bear trap.

Vincent held her baby in her arms, watching from inside the school. She couldn't stand to hear the clear quality of Raph's screams. When Leo and Don pried the trap open, Vv hissed, wincing at the sound of Raph shrieking. That trap really must have hit something. "Oh, Raph..."

Seeing Raph as a big brother made Vv feel worse about his pain. She could feel his agony through the window, hearing the shrieking she never knew he could make. And as soon as the situation had been taken care of with Raph and the trap, Vv could see and hear Osa and Leo getting into a heated argument... One that has never raised eyebrows.
