Chapter 1…

Donnie's P.O.V

My breath stopped in my throat. And everything seemed to slow down. I could feel the palms of my hands sweating, and the bottom of my lip curl into a frown.

Shock. I was in shock.

Two minutes ago Mikey had sacrificed himself for me. And then she hurt him. She hurt my only little brother.

I saw a flash of white, and smoke. And then everything went silent.

The feeling of one of my brothers shaking me on the shoulders pulled me out of the unknown and back to the painful reality.

"Donnie, he's hurt. He's hurt." Came the surprisingly weak voice of Leo.

I was back.

Without a second thought I ran over to Mikey, who was out cold and lying on the hard floor of the top of the roof we stood on, looking weaker than I have ever seen him before.

Sitting by him, I pulled his head into my lap and began to assess the damage.

Pulse… a little too fast.

Breathing… normal.

Head…. Oh SHELL

"Guys we need to get him back to the lair, I've never seen anything like this before." I cried out desperately.

"What… What is it Donnie? WHAT DID SHE DO TO HIM?" Raph yelled fearfully.

"Calm down Raph, you won't do him any good like this." Leo said, saving me from a painful explanation.

"He's right," I agreed. "I'll explain when we get back to the lair."

Again to my surprise, Raph seemed to calm down considerably. With one nod he helped me lift up Mikey, with such hidden care, that I couldn't help but smile.

And then we were running. Running back to shelter. Running back to explanations, and to Master Splinter.

Running back home.

Leo's P.O.V

As soon as we entered the lair we were met with a worried father.

"What happened my sons?" He asked, concern hidden beneath his words.

"We're not sure Sensei." I said solemnly, as we helped Mikey get settled on Donnie's lab bed.

"Please explain." Sensei asked, in… slight annoyance?

"Yes Donnie. Explain." Raph put in quickly.

I watched Donnie as he gulped, and felt sorry for my younger brother being put on the spot.

"He has…" Donnie started. "He has…"

"Spit it out Donnie." Raph growled.

I put a hand on his shoulder signifying: calm down.

He grunted.

"Like I was saying, err… trying to say was," Donnie took a deep breath "He has a pink diamond shape on the back of his head. I… think that girl did it to him."

Lifting Mikey's head slowly and carefully I stared in hateful awe. There it was, just like Don said, a diamond shape carved and oozing pink light, in Mikey's head.

Now I was angry.

Angry at that… woman. And angry at myself for not noticing when Donnie had. Not being able to stop it. Not being a good leader.

I was especially angry that I had promised Mikey safety, and he had gotten hurt anyway. This was my fault. I should have stopped her.

"What is that…?" I mumbled, wishing Donnie had an answer. Even though it was clear by his facial expression… he didn't.

"I think its magic Leonardo." Splinter said, answering my question.

We all looked at him in confusion.

"I'm sorry… what Sensei?" Donnie asked in disbelief, ever the scientist.

"Magic. From a wizard or witch."

Raph chuckled from beside me, clearly also not taking Sensei seriously.

"I am serious my sons…" Sensei continued "I've seen something like this before."

Then he stopped, sighing sadly before continuing, " Unfortunately it isn't good."

Hearing the sad voice of their sensei seemed to pull Raph back from his laughter.

"Are you serious Sensei?" Raph asked quietly.

"Yeah, are you sure Sensei? Logically, magic doesn't make any sense…" Donnie stated.

"I believe him." I say suddenly, surprised by my own voice.

If it was Sensei, I believed him. I had full and total trust in our father, always have.

"Thank you Leonardo. You must trust my words like you're older brother my sons. I speak none but the truth."

My brothers looked down guiltily before nodding their agreement.

"Then how do we figure this out Sensei?" Raph asked, while unconsciously stroking Mikey's head to keep him calm as he seemed to sleep.

"Yeah. How do we figure out what this… witch did to our baby bro?" Donnie asked cautiously.

Before Master Splinter could answer, I beat him to it.

"Tomorrow, we go to the source."

Mikey's P.O.V

A fog of bliss wound around in my mind. I could faintly hear voices. They seemed to be so far away. Then I felt slight movement. Someone shaking me lightly?

All of a sudden a wave of pain assaulted my body, and I groaned. Everything hurt. Especially my head, it felt like it was going to blow up. I allowed a tear of pain slide down my cheek as the beautiful peaceful fog left and the world came crashing back around me.

"Mikey… Mike." A concerned voice said quietly. Raph.

"R-Raphie." I cried, but it came out mostly as a pitiful squeak.

Reaching my hand out desperately, I felt his strong ones grasp mine back.

As reality rushed back, I noticed that all four brothers stood around me.

"It's okay. You're ok now Mikey." I heard Donnie say besides me. He was rubbing circles on my shell.

Leo stepped forward then, patting my head lightly. "You're home Mikey."

"H-hurts." I whimpered, embarrassed of sounding so weak.

"What hurts Mikey?" Donnie asked, launching into doctor mode.

Unable to speak any more, I pointed to my head, my hands shaking weakly as I did so.

He stepped forward, lightly brushing his hands over my forehead. Even this much contact caused a flash of pain behind my eyes, and I squeezed them tightly shut.

"Sorry… sorry bud." He whispered and took his hand off my head. Reaching over to his lab station he pulled out an ice pack which he applied quickly.

A rush of relief fled through me. Sure my head still hurt, and the rest of my body, but it felt a bit better. Enough that I was able to think, and talk.

"What happened?" I asked lamely.

My brothers eyes met in concern.

"I mean, I remember a girl, and a flash of white light but nothing else…" I said slowly.

"Mikey… you were hit by a witch." Donnie said.

Donnie believes in magic?

"And we're going to find her. And Take. Her. Down." Raph explained barely hiding anger.

"N-No…" I whispered shakily. "You can't go. I don't want her to get you too." I whispered again.

All the trauma, exhaustion, and fear washed over me then and all I wanted, all I longed for, was my brother's presence and safety.

A few more tears ran down my eyes, and ever the hidden old softie, Raph reached up and wiped them away.

"We'll be careful. We prom… well… we'll just be careful." Leo said.

Even in my sickness I didn't fail to miss the fact that Leo didn't promise. And instead of making me feel better. My nerves were amped up twice as much.

But knowing my stubborn shelled brothers, I knew they were going no matter what. I wasn't dumb. I could see their concern.

"Okay…" I said softly, squeezing Raph's hands beside me.

"Just be careful."

Then exhaustion taking over me, I closed my eyes. And allowed my hurt body to go to sleep.

To go into that sweet nothing yet again.

Raph's P.O.V

I didn't sleep a wink the whole night. Instead I resorted to beating up my punching bag. Pretending it was the witch. And that I was taking her down.

"Take that bitch! That's for hurting my baby brother!" I yelled.

As I punched the bag, I remembered the getting my first punching bag.

It was when I was 10 years old and Master Splinter said I needed a way to control my anger.

So one night after a fight with Leo, Master Splinter brought me an old battered up punching bag from an abandoned karate school. Which apparently had rooms full just with punching bags.

And ever since then I got one every time they broke, which they did a lot.

I broke out of my thoughts when the alarm clock went off announcing 7 am.

Running into Donnie's lab I couldn't help but chuckle lightly as I saw him asleep, with his head lying on Mikey's lab bed.

I had been in there too, until Donnie kicked both Leo and I out, saying we were in the way.

Creeping over to Donnie's side I lightly shook him awake.

"Donnie. It's time."

Leo's P.O.V

We made our way over the rooftops, on our way to TCRI, the Foot Clans main building, hoping for answers.

The plan was as such, sneak in through the roof, find the main security system and have Donnie shut it down. Then we attack. This time all together. We capture the witch using Donnie's new electrifying ropes, and blindfold her, take her to the lair and there we will question her and demand answers.

"This had better work fearless…" Raph growled.

"It will. And don't call me that." I answered, annoyed.

"Guys focus." Donnie whispered.

I nodded guiltily. Donnie was right; this was no time for arguing. We have a little brother to save.

Arriving at the TCRI building we began our ascent up the building's exterior.

I went last, as always, to catch my brothers if they happened to fall.

I was reaching the top of the building, when Donnie looked down at me with fear in his eyes.

"They knew we were coming."

Looking over the top of the building, my heart dropped to my stomach.

There on the flat rooftop, was The Shredder, Tiger Claw, The Foot Soldiers, Fishface, Rahzar, and right in the middle of everyone.

Stood the witch…
