Dusk soon fell over the once bright sky, the sun setting and the moon shining brighter. The time was 11:30 pm it was go time on operation mystery turtles.

The turtles suited up- Raphael grabbed his tonfas and secured them to his waist, Leonardo placed his katanas in their place on his back, Michaelangelo strapped his mystic kusari-fundo to his chest strap, and we'll Donnie always had his tech bo on him as long as he had his battle shell, which he made a double check on.

Donnie felt sluggish as well and tired. He didn't wanna leave the comforts of the lair.

"Mmmmhhh.... How about you guys go ahead. I'd rather stay here at the lair." He groaned

"C'mon Donnie! Now's not the time for being a slug, we got a mission to do!" Raph directed

"Yeah Don, you should come with us, what if we need back up?" Leo gestured

Donatello thought to himself for a few moments.

"I'm staying in the lair." Donnie silently walked to his room "what good am I to the team anyways." He murmured to himself quietly

Raph gave an anoyed look and then flashed another of concernment. there's something up about him. I need to figure it out. But now's not the time.' raph thought to himself while walking off into the tunnels

Mikey watched this older brother walk to his room giving a look or worry, then soon followed his other older brothers into the dark tunnels.

Donatello sighed. As he watched his brothers leave and closed the tarp of the doorway to his room. He plopped down on his bed and looked at his arms, wrists and his hands. He clenched his fists while his eyes filled with anger. He threw himself back into the bed and stared at the ceiling thinking to himself. 'why do I continue to feel this way?.' 'how come my arms feel this way. They feel like hurting...' he turned his head and made eye contact with a forgotten peice of glass lying next to his bed frame

'... They must have forgotten this shard.' he thought to himself

He stared walking over to the trashcan in the corner and gestured his hand over it, But for some reason he hesitated... He stared intensely at his arm, now squeezing the shark, piercing his hand, soon a light red color dripped out. He brought his hend closer to his face for inspection... He smiled at the sight... A merciless, insane smirk, he looked at the glass shard, dripping with a small amount of blood.

He threw himself on his bed... What was he thinking in that mind of his...

"Nothing can be as painful as what you did to me."

He angrily whispered. "Why.... Why didn't I fight back?!..." He fought back tears, his face burned hot the cruel empty thoughts rushed in his head. "I deserved that pain... And I deserve this." He blurted out while piercing the skin on his thigh... He gasped out in pain a year fell from his eye

'i deserve this.'

He continued, blood spilled on the floor, cuts an gashes where covering his thighs and arms... He threw the shard at the wall breathing quickly and holding his head... He gave a panicked laugh, it slowly became louder and louder, "I... Deserve this!, I deserve this pain..." The tears falling down his cheeks.

He curled up in a ball and wept on his bed...

With the other turtles

"Okay guys, spread out, they could be anywhere. Reach my on your communication device if you found em, do not engage until I arrive, got it?" raph silently ordered Leo and Mikey nodded in agreement and the ran off in different directions and raph looked around first before heading out.

Mikey was on top of a tall building, scouting out in the dark shadows searching for any unusual people among the small crowds

Leo crouched under a highway, in a dark corner stalking all the passing by-ers

Raph stood tall above an empty bridge, inspecting closely in the small and unnoticed places, to find any suspicious things lurking in the empty.

The second youngest turtle was looking at the people and cars pass by and saw a grey cloaked person. "Okay Leon, this may or may NOT be the turtle. turtles...? Whatever just wait to see the yin and yang symbol on the back. Or at least 4 eyes"

The cloaked stranger looked around and stole someone's book from beside them, the scanned the area but making eye contact with Leo, showing a light blue and green pair of eyes, they looked utterly terrified and dashed off

Again, (unexpectedly) Leo charged after them, staying close to the shadows-forgetting what raph said he ran as fast as his legs could go after the surprisingly fast mutant.

Leo inched closer and closer to the suspect, reaching a hand out to their shoulder to grab them

Mikey's voice blared in the communicator, "Raph! I see the yin and yang stranger! Their running twords the city fountain!" Leo tried silencing the voice but the turtles got startled by the noise and incredibly, ran away faster than before!

'ughh Mikey.' Leo groaned tiredly and raised his arm to his mouth, "Raph! I've got them! I'm chasing them right at this moment. But their incredibly fast! Holy shit dude!"

"LEO! language, Mikey is present" raph instructed

Mikey scoffed hearing Raphael comment "I ain't no baby raph, I'll show ya!" He spoke to himself and jumped off the building right over the stranger "COWABUNGA!!!" He hollered, he whipped his kusari-fundo and it wrapped around a lamp post, swinging him closer to the stranger, but unfortunately his plan failed and sent him hurdling into Leo

"FUCK!-" Leo groaned in pain as he sat up off of the pavement "ye-ouch-" Mikey whimpered "sorry Leo..., That was on me-"

"Darn right that was on you, now I'll never catch up to him!" Leo hissed

Mikey sat on his knees and looked at the ground in sadness "sorry Leo..."

Leo hissed back "sorry won't cut it Mike!" He said without looking at Mikey and got up and ran after the stranger

Mikey wiped his eyes trying not to show tears, he sniffed. Mikey then tried to get up and run after Leo, they were way to far ahead of them but then he fell to the ground in pain, why did his arm hurt so bad?

Mikey looked at his wrist in horror, OH MY GOD?! IT'S BROKEN! Mikey looked terrified and his reaction was screaming. His scream was blood curdling, then the pain started to hit him. People looked behind them to observe what that scream can from, but Mikey covered his mouth and backed into a shadow

"DID ANYONE ELSE HERE THAT SCREAM?! MIKEY WAS THAT YOU?! IM COMING YOUR WAY!" Raphael voice hollered out from the device, his older brother instincts kicked in and ran as fast as lightening to were when heard the scream, in just 2 minutes he arrived in sweat, panting hard "WHA-... WHAT HAPPENED?!" he rushed out

Mikey held his hand close to him, whimpering in pain as tears shed down his round cheeks

Raph walked over to his brother in concern and grabbed his littlest brothers wrist, Mikey flinched at the action, Raph looked like his soul left his body and his immediate response was to pick up Mikey. "LEO. GET BA-" he was interrupted with "RAPH I GOT THE TURTLES! I'VE GOT THEM PINNED!" The oldest froze for a moment and said "TAKE THEM WITH US! WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE LAIR NOW! MIKEY'S HURT BAD!" Hearing that, Leo took off his satchel and wrapped it around the turtles arms and hands and threw them over his back and ran to the nearest sewer cover and ran to the lair

"I-its okay Mikey! Your- your going to be fine- great!" Raphael shakily spoke as he dove in the sewer and closing the lid

He held Mikey's head to his plastron and just hushed his youngest cries of pain with "shhhh it's okay..." And "your going to be fine."

He arrived to the lair and met Leo with the stranger on the floor and Leo on top of them, pinning the mutant

"DAD!" he cried out as he ran to splinters room

"What is it my son?!" Splinter ran out in a hurry

"Mikey's hurt! He's hurt really bad!" He said whilst putting Mikey down "show him!"

"I-i-i got it when I c-crashed inta-inta Leo!" He whimpered our

Leo stared over in a guilty look, regretting what he said earlier

With all the noise Donnie ran out of his room

"Is Mikey okay?!"

With that all eyes met him. He realized and looked down... Dried up blood covered his body. He stared up with shocked eyes and quickly shut the curtains

"Fuck.. "

"Fuck!"

"Fuckkk!"

Donnie repeated with guilt he grabbed a water bottle on his nightstand and poured it over himself, rubbing off the dried blood the best he could, the cuts burned with the slightest contact which made it difficult

Once he cleaned up messily, he put on his gear and pulled down his shorts a tad bit to cover the scars up a little then he ran out

He saw Leo and hovering his hand next to his wall getting ready to knock "ohhhh... Hey don... Are ya doing okay?"

Donnie jumped back "I'm fine Leon. Where's Michael..."

"Mikey's on the couch with dad bandaging his wrist.." Leo said with a hint of guilt

"What happened?" Donatello spoke quietly

"I kinda..." Leo said hesitantly

"You 'kinda' what?"

"Well he crashed into me, and broke his wrist on impact..." He stopped as if he saw a ghost.

"H-hey Donnie... What's that on your leg."

Donnie froze in shock and closed the curtain on Leo's face....

"Oh no..."
