TMNT Together

Chapter 3

Maybe it was something about the green haired girl that Leo didn't trust, though he kept his opinion to himself, Raph most certainly did not. After hearing Raph complain about her over and over drove the blue masked turtle to the point where he went to visit the brains of the outfit. Donnie sat in his lab, typing away on his computer, glancing away to scribble a few notes down. "Hey, Don," Leo greeted, not sure of whether or not the purple masked turtle had heard him or not.

Donnie turned away from his computer, turning it off and shuffling his papers into a neat pile. "What do you need?" he asked standing up.

Glancing away and to another table, knowing I shouldn't say anything about Raph hating on Peridot. "I was wondering if Peridot made it to the surface okay."

"Yes," he replied.

"Okay. What's this?" Leo asked, walking over to the table he had looked to.

He pulled a circular black object attached to the bottom of the table, it was a little bigger than a quarter. A little red dot blinked steadily on it, and beside that was a Clan symbol. Foot Clan, the blue masked turtle realized. "What's what?" Donnie stood up and took the object from Leo.

"I think it's a tracker," Leo replied, following Donnie to a table. "Who would have placed it there?"

"I don't know," the purple clad turtle muttered while disabling it.

"Maybe it was left over from the attack on the Foot bots," Donnie said, not wanting to have to face it might have been Peri.

"Don't you think you would have noticed it by now?" The leader reasoned. "You don't think Peridot placed it there?"

"Maybe," he said. "She did tell me she met with Shredder occasionally. I might have disabled it in time...hopefully. I could scan it for a closer look."

"You do that," Leo stated. "Tell me the results when you get them in. I'll be in the dojo," then, he left.

Donnie started the tests that he needed to do, all the while hoping it wasn't her, but that was the oppisite of what he wanted to expect. "She betrayed us!" He went to the dojo. "You're right, Leo, it was her."

"Then you should have seen it before you took the test. She could have already told Shredder the way here," Leo scowled.

"I did take her a confusing route to make sure she couldn't find her way back, just in case," Donnie muttered. "She said she wouldn't tell him."

"People lie," his older brother retorted, his blue eyes like ice. "Did you give her any other information about us? Because if she can't contact us, Shredder can't either."

"Well...I-I might have given her my number in case she needed help," he stuttered.

Just then, Donnie's phone rang, as if on cue. He took it out of its pocket and answered it, putting it on speaker phone so Leo could hear. "Donnie!" Peri's voice came over he speaker. "I need to talk with you!"

"About...?" He asked, anger tight in his voice.

"I need your help! Shredder locked me up, and he plans to kill me. He also told me he was going to kill you and your brothers! I swear I didn't know!" She panicked, though her voice was in a hushed whisper.

"Why did you place the tracker in my lab?" Donnie questioned.

"He wanted to steal something. I think it was some kind of mutagen...re-mutagen...retro-mutagen," she replied, then added. "Anyway, Shredder has me captive, and plans on killing me. His Foot bots aren't paying attention right now."

"If you knew his plan, why did you place the tracker?" He questioned again.

"That was before I knew! Come save me before my blood is splattered all over his fancy building!" She raised her voice a little.

"Right, on our way," he ended the call.

"Gather the others, I guess," Leo said.

They quickly went to Shredder's tower, they entered through the broken glass at the top. Leo spoke in a barely audible whisper. "She might be in the cellar," he looked at the lone chair below Shredder's throne. "Although, they might bring her out soon. Let's wait to see if they talk about anything."

"We don't have time for this!" Donnie murmered, just as Tiger Claw dragged Peridot into the room and tied her to the chair.

"Master Shredder, are you sure he turtles are to come?" Tiger Claw asked while he bowed to Shredder, who had just entered the room.

"Of course. They are soft, never willing to let an 'innocent' die," Shredder replied, sitting down on his throne.

"Will the plan work?" His second-in-command inquired.

"When have you ever doubted me?" Shredder answered with a question. "Don't answer that."

"I wouldn't have, Master," Tiger Claw muttered.

Mikey whispered to Raph, "It's like they're in a strict marriage."

"What are we waiting for?" Donnie questioned Leo.

The leader nodded, giving the signal to jump down, weapons ready. Shredder laughed, "You want to save the one working for the enemy!"

Alopex appeared behind the trutles with Foot bots, big and small. A Foot bot untied the green haired girl while she spoke. "Sorry, Donnie, I had to get you all here somehow."

The attack began, Alopex choosing Raph as her opponent. "Raphael, I hear you have a reputation for being a hot head."

"Come find out," he retorted, twirling his sais.

"Have you missed me?" She asked, a slight smirk on her muzzle.

"Not in the slightest," he replied.

"Hard feelings?" She asked, walking around him, letting her fur brush against his skin.

He pushed her away and pointed a sai at her. "Don't try to charm me!"

"Just give up," she winked, and attacked with her sythes.

He charged her, but was tripped by her tail as he went past. He growled and swiped at her legs while he still layed on the ground, then stood up. She scabbled on the slippery floor, and jumped to her paws. Foot bots began to attack from all angles. "Smoke pellets!" Leo yelled over the chaos.

Everyone threw down their own and hauled shell to a different roof top far from Shredder's lair. When the blue masked leader made sure they weren't followed, he shouted. "This was a waste, Donnie! I should have known, but you're too into her you couldn't see it. I only went because you wanted to, you wanted to put your trust into someone who can't be trusted."

"It's not my fault she doesn't know where her loyalties lay!" Donnie shot back.

"She brought us here, she placed a tracker, she set us up for a trap, and she tells Shredder everything about us now! She's a Foot!" Leo exclaimed, crossing his arms. "Let's go back, we're taking a longer route just in case we weren't followed."

Raph and Mikey glanced at each other before passing Donnie to follow their older brother; Donnie followed them more slowly.
