The one with a frozen heart chapter 11

The one with a frozen heart

A/N: Okay this chapter is up, You're lucky my summer is nothing but rainy and grey cause that gives me reason to write for you. I hope, will be both dramatic and tense. And I hope it will be better than my last one. And I also added a Splinter song! I heard the song is very famous so I assume you've heard it either from the movie or as a stage version.

Either way I hope it's good enough for you. Hope you like the new chapter and please review! It would make me really happy!

Chapter 11, What do we do now?

(Donnie's P.O.V)

April and I ran towards the old futon factory I couldn't forget the feeling of that something was wrong. Something in both my head and my stomach told me that something was going to end up really bad. April also seemed a little off and did look at me with concern every other minute.

When we came close to the futon factory we saw both my brothers and Casey fighting Karai, Fishface, Rahzar and Tiger Claw along with a bunch of foot-bots. April pulled out her Tessen and was about to jump into the fight, but I grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"Wait, April! Something doesn't feel right about this, maybe we should hang back and see what they're up to first?" April thought it over and then yanked her arm from me.

"Donnie, the guys are in trouble and could get in serious danger if we don't try to help them! So come one, let's go and help them!" She didn't wait for me to respond she just jumped to the next roof top and sliced one of the robots head off. I groaned and pulled out my staff.

"Why do I get the feeling I am going to regret this decision?" I muttered to myself as I jumped to the roof and slammed the staff into one of the foot-bots body before slicing it in two with the spear on my staff. Leo saw that April and I had arrived and smiled slightly at us. He looked both relieved and a little irritated.

"Huh, took you long enough to arrive, didn't it?" I sliced the head of one robot and then kicked another one away from me.

"Yeah, but if I had decided the location we would have gotten to you faster!" Raph pierced his sai into a robots head and then slammed his fist into Fishface's chest, making him fall and stay on the ground for a few seconds before getting up again.

"Less talking, more fighting!" He yelled and then kicked Rahzar away from himself, making him squeal like a puppy and then pierced another robots in the chest. Mikey was jumping around and slammed his nunchucks into a robot there and then wrapped the chain around another robot and then threw it into Tiger Claw's face, making him yell in pain.

Casey was using his hockey stick to either slam hockey pucks into the robots or the mutants or he was slamming the stick into the faces of the mutants. He looked cocky and didn't look like he was about to back down. Or at least I assumed so since he had his mask on.

April showed that she had improved in her ninja skills, but I still tried to be close to her without helping her too much. If there was a foot-bot behind her about to slice her head off or something like that, then I helped her out but I tried to keep my distance since she wanted to be able to handle herself. And she seemed glad that I tried to do so, even if she didn't like the fact that she wasn't able to keep them all away she knew I was only trying to help her a little bit.

"Tiger Claw, Bradford! You know your orders, you know what to do now!" I saw that Karai looked reluctant when she said so, but I also saw that both Tiger Claw and Rahzar picked up a small device, big enough the hold it in your palm without problem and Tiger Claw pressed a purple button on it. Two purple energy strings flew out and captured both Leo and Mikey in a snare, making them drop their weapons as their arms got pinned to their bodies. Rahzar did the same and tried to capture Raph and Casey. Raph managed to get out of the way, but Casey wasn't fast enough to escape and got caught.

"Casey!" April ran forward and tried to slice through the purple energy string, but instead of cutting it of and getting Casey out off it only sliced through the energy, making it go around April, capturing her too. Raph saw that and stopped running towards Leo to do the same thing. But that made him hesitate and let Rahzar capture him too. I was right now trying to fight off the foot-bots, but then saw what happened and ran towards my brothers. But Tiger Claw was faster than I was.

"If you want your brothers and friends to be okay, you drop your weapon, now!" Raph struggled against the string holding him back and tried to get free, Leo was also struggling, though not as violent as Raph was. Mikey, April and Casey was also struggling against the bonds, but since they were not the strongest it didn't make much difference and since April was so close to Casey it was difficult for them both to fight back.

"Don't do it, Donnie! Kick their tails!" Raph yelled to me, but I knew that if I did they would either try to hurt them or they would just swipe me away like a fly. I had a scowl on my face and dropped my staff to the ground. Tiger Claw smiled smugly at me and looked rather pleased. Then, as fast as I could I pulled of my gloves and fired ice at his head. But apparently he saw that coming and dodged it with ease. Karai looked at me and then back to the mutants.

"You take the turtles and the humans, I'll deal with the turtle!" I decided to make a move and start to attack Rahzar, but Karai got in front of me and swung a sword at my face, forcing me to dive away and grab my staff again. Since I had thrown my gloves off the staff got covered in frost, but I didn't care. I was too busy trying to fight Karai off so I could go after the mutants and save my brothers and April. Oh, yeah and Casey too. But all of a sudden Karai stopped fighting me and put her sword to the ground.

"Listen to me Donatello. I have something important to tell you." But at the moment I didn't want to listen to her. A, my brothers where in trouble and B, Karai may mean well with her intentions now, but she could still be just as deceitful as she was before.

"I thought you changed, Karai! You helped me escape Shredder, but still you help him? You better make up your mind soon so I know if I'm supposed to fight you or not!" With that I stomped on the ground, which caused it to freeze and then I pushed her aside, making her slip and fall to the ground. But I didn't care about that, I jumped to ground level and saw the guys being forced into a van. Both Casey and Raph made the most resistance but that didn't make much of a difference.

I jumped out from the shadows and whacked Rahzar in the head and then tried to swipe his legs, but he just kicked me away. But I got up again and threw a new ice ball at the them and while it did land a hit on Rahzar, Tiger Claw was fast knock me into the wall with one hit. My sight got blurry as I hit my head and then saw that Leo and Mikey was now being forced into the van. Leo turned to me while trying to fight back long enough.

"You can't help us Donnie! Go back to the lair and tell Splinter! Run!" I struggled to get to my feet and used my staff for support.

"But Leo, I can't-" Leo got a little irritated and yelled at me before he was pushed into the van and the door was closed.

"Go now, that's an order!" Fishface slammed the door shut and turned to me with a sly and ominous smile. He enjoyed this I could tell.

"Yes, run along little turtle. Go home to your rat master." He than grabbed the side of the van as it started to drive down the street. There was a small window in the backdoor of the van and I saw Mikey look through it and he had his puppy eyes as he looked at me. I looked after the van and the grasped what really just happened.

"No!" It was really cliché I know but couldn't help it. I reached out after the van and then considered to go after it, but then decided to go back to the lair and ask Splinter what to do next. I ran into the alley and jumped down into the sewers and ran towards the lair.

(Master Splinter's P.O.V)

I sat in the dojo and tried to find inner peace. I had suddenly started to feel that something was wrong and tried to relax. But that feeling wouldn't go away, if anything it was growing stronger.

"Master Splinter! Sensei!" My eyes snapped open and I saw Donatello run into the dojo, panting heavily and leaned against the tree for support. I got to my feet and placed my hands on his shoulders and he had one hand on his chest, trying to regain his breathing.

"Donatello! What has happened my son? Where are your brothers?" Donatello took a few more breaths and then met my eyes. He looked both scared, worried and angry at the same time.

"They're, they're with the Shredder." I felt my heart stop beating for a few seconds and I guided my son to the couch and helped him sit down and placed an arm around his shoulders.

"What happened Donatello? How did that happen?" Donatello began to explain, the fight, the feeling he had about something being wrong, the abduction and Karai.

"And then Leo ordered me to go here and get help." His eyes started to water and he tried to dry the tears away, but it didn't help much since more tears came anyway.

"I tried to save them, but they were to strong for me to handle on my own." I wrapped my arm tighter around him and pulled his face into my shoulder and let him cry into my robe.

"I know you did Donatello. There wasn't that much you could do against three mutants, don't feel bad for that." I held him for as long as he needed, and it didn't take long before he pulled away from me.

"So, what are we gonna do now Sensei? Go after them to Shredder's lair?" I thought it over. It was both dangerous and risky to go to Shredder's lair, but I did not want my sons and two innocent humans in there either. I had already lost one child, I didn't want to lose three more and two innocent children in the process. So I made my mind.

"Get ready, Donatello. We are leaving as soon as possible." Donatello narrowed his eyebrows and nodded firmly and got up and twirled his staff before heading towards his lab to get a few necessities.

(Leo's P.O.V)

Tiger Claw threw me onto the ground beside my brothers and friends and before us was the Shredder himself. He looked down at us with no words and no expression on his face. Then, right out of nowhere he drew his claws out and put them inches away from my neck, and I pulled away from him a little, but he used the claws to lift my chin.

"So this is the leader of the turtles? Captured and brought to my feet, pathetic." He released my chin and then looked to the others. Raph looked both angry and tough at the same time. Mikey looked scared but tried to look tough and both April and Casey tried to be tough as well, but Casey got away with it a little better since he had a mask on.

"Let us out of this place you freaky shredhead!" Casey called out as angry as he could, and both April and I shushed him. Shredder chuckled darkly at him and pulled his mask off his face, revealing Casey's both scared and angry face.

"You should watch your tongue Mr Jones. If you value you life, that is. And if I let you go, that is all up to your brother." The last part was more directed towards us, but April and Casey got just as nervous as us.

"W-what are you talking about?" Mikey's voice was both shaky and scared and he had his huge puppy eyes. He usually had them when he wanted something or when he was desperate. But there were times when he was so scared that he brought them out. Shredder turned to him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It won't be long before your brother and master will come here to get you. And when they do and I get your master, the question if you can go or not is up to whether your brother decides to join me or not." I drew in a breath of shock and fear, but if Raph was scared too, he didn't show it.

"Yeah, like you would just let us go? If I know you right you will kill us the moment he joins you and even if he doesn't you'll still do it." Shredder didn't say anything he just looked at him so long that Raph's tough look soon got wiped away.

"Tiger Claw, Bradford! Take these freaks to the dungeon and lock them up! I will deal with them a little later. If I know Yoshi right it won't be long before he shows up." Rahzar grabbed me and Raph hard by the arms and Tiger Claw took both April and Casey with one hand and took Mikey by the other and both mutants dragged us through the place until we got to a big room with a bunch of cells. Rahzar and Tiger Claw threw us into one of the bigger cells and then they both left the room.

The first minutes there was nothing but silence. There was a little sniffle that made me look up from the floor. I saw that Mikey was rubbing his eyes and sniffled again. I moved over and placed my arm around Mikey's shoulders and pulled his face into my shoulder, like Master Splinter had done since we were kids. Mikey saw the gesture as a way of saying it was okay to cry and started to cry into my shoulder.

Raph sat down on the floor and drew his knees close to himself and rested his arms on his knees and I heard him growl. April sat down beside Casey and leaned her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, but for once he didn't look happy with it.

(Donnie's P.O.V)

Master Splinter and I ran across the roof tops towards Shredder's lair. I didn't exactly know what the plan was right now. Master Splinter had just said that we would leave for Shredder's lair as soon as possible, but didn't say anything about a plan. He was very silent during the run and now we were almost there.

"Sensei, I have to ask what the plan is? I mean, isn't this what Shredder wants? Shouldn't we try to lay low and come up with a good plan before we go in the spider's web?" Master Splinter stopped so suddenly I almost ran straight into his back. He turned around and grabbed my shoulders and bent down to my level.

"Donatello, I understand your logic and I wish we could lay low for a while, but I don't think that your brothers and friends have that time. Shredder is not one to let his enemies live if he has chance to get rid of them. We better make our move now. But do not worry, we will rely on stealth and remember that when I say so you can use your powers, only when I say so. Understood?" I nodded and we started to run again. When we arrived I crawled in through the hole in the window where I had escaped and Splinter went in after me. The room was both dark and empty, or so it seemed. I stayed close to Splinter and looked around, trying to spot something or someone in the dark. Then right out of nowhere,

"You are still as predictable as you always were before, Yoshi." The room lit up with fire and we both saw the Shredder standing at his throne. Splinter pushed me behind him and looked at Shredder with fire in his eyes.

"Shredder, where are my sons, and April and Casey? What have you done with them?" It wasn't often when we saw Splinter this angry, so it felt a little weird to be silent. Shredder walked down the stairs and closer to Splinter. I tried to walk up beside Splinter but he still pushed me behind himself again.

"It doesn't have to be so difficult, old friend. All that has to be done is that your son joins me and willingly uses his powers when I say so. Do that, and I will let your sons and friends go." I looked at Shredder and with a frown on my face I walked up in front of Splinter and pressed my face closer to Shredder's.

"I will never, ever be loyal to you! My loyalty is to Master Splinter and my family, not to you! And don't you forget that!" Master Splinter grabbed my arm and pulled me back and silently scolded me for what I said and did. Shredder didn't look too pleased about what I said. He called out and his mutants and soldiers came in through the door. Splinter pulled out a sword from his belt and I pulled my staff, which once again got covered in frost at my touch. Yes, I had left my gloves back at the lair.

Splinter went for Shredder but also fought off a few robots and gave Tiger Claw or Rahzar a punch every now and then too. I tried to handle the foot-bots and those freaky mutants but that wasn't easy. They weren't easy to deal with even when it was all four of us against them.

Unfortunately it wasn't a very long battle. Splinter let out a cry of pain and fell to his knees and clutched his waist. I saw blood color his kimono and also drip onto the floor. I assumed that Shredder had stabbed him, and even if it didn't look like a deep cut it still worried me.

"Sensei!" I was about to walk up to him and help him up so we could escape, but he talked to me weakly and a little strained.

"No, my son. Don't worry about me, I was a fool to come here and take you with me. You must get out of here, and save yourself." Oh no, not this again. I was not ready to leave my father behind like this.

"No! Sensei, I'm not leaving here without you!" Master Splinter looked at me, weakly but with a firmness I hadn't seen so often.

"Yes, you are. Go now!" He threw his sword to me and by instinct I grabbed it and it took a lot of willpower to get out of there without going back for Splinter. But I heard Shredder yell after me.

"Yes, run while you can! I give you forty-eight hours, and if haven't joined me by then your family will be executed!" I blinked away tears from my eyes and just kept on running away from Shredder, away from my father and away from my family that were in the same place. I heard a few foot-bots behind me, but I didn't feel like fighting so I just kept on running. Just like all those weeks ago when I ran away on the water, I didn't look back but I knew that this times I had something to lose, something big to lose.

(Normal P.O.V)

A/N: If you have seen the movie, then you will understand the concept, but if you haven't, see it as a voice-over.

Master Splinter watched as Donnie crawled through the window and to a safer place, hopefully. But then Shredder yelled out something that made him scared for his son.

"Yes, run while you can! I give you forty-eight hours, and if haven't joined me by then your family will be executed!" Splinter knew that with that kind of pressure Donnie would be over-thinking this and who knew how he would take it.

"Foot-bots, go after him but don't hurt him too much! Tiger Claw bring the rat to the other turtles and the humans. I'm sure we don't have to wait too long before the turtle comes back for his family." The big tiger grabbed him and started to drag him towards the dungeons. Splinter turned his head over his shoulder and watched his son race from roof top to roof top away from the foot-bots that were after him.

"I pray you'll be my eyes and watch him where he goes. And help him to be wise. Help me to let go." Donatello was running as fast as he could. He did turn around every now and then and tried to hit them with ice or snow. Sometimes he missed, sometimes he landed a hit.

"Every father's prayer, every child knows. Lead him to a place, guide him with your grace to a place where he'll be safe." He tripped as the sword slipped out of his belt and made him fall to the ground but was fast to get to his feet and then threw a new ice ball to a robot and then kept on running.

"I pray he finds your light and holds it in him heart. As darkness falls each night remind him where you are." The robots were closing in behind him and he looked behind himself lot to know where they were.

"Every father's prayer every child knows. Need to find a place, guide him to a place. Give him faith so he'll be safe." He then turned around and let out a bigger flash of ice so all the robots froze in their place and he turned around and ran towards the lair again.

"Lead him to a place guide him with your grace to a place where he'll be safe." Donnie reached the lair out of breath and tears that had dried on his cheeks. He sat down on the couch and tried to catch his breath.

It was first then he realized what had happened. His father and brothers had been captured! He was all alone again and both scared and worried and both the floor and the walls started to get covered with his ice as he started to cry, but for the moment he didn't care the slightest. The lair could stay frozen for all he cared. He was alone, scared and didn't know what to do right at the moment! A little ice didn't hurt so much at the moment.

(Raph's P.O.V)

No one had much to say right now. There wasn't anything to say. We had been captured and Splinter and Donnie could be in danger. Splinter could take care of both himself and Donnie but still, it wasn't a very happy thought. Mikey was at the moment half-sleeping on Leo's shoulder and April was almost sleeping on Casey's, but she had her eyes cracked open ever so little.

Suddenly the doors opened and Tiger Claw came in with Master Splinter in his grip! I flew up from the floor and ran up the to the prison-door and grabbed the bars.

"Sensei!" Leo looked up and Mikey seemed to wake up and April flew up from Casey's grip and up the door beside me. Tiger Claw opened the door and threw Splinter to the floor and closed it again and left again. Leo started to help Splinter to sit up against the wall. He was conscious but it looked like he was a little dizzy. And it was clear why, he had a wound in his waist, it didn't look deep but it could get infected if it didn't get treated.

"Sensei are you alright?" Mikey placed his hands on Splinter's shoulder. Splinter looked at us and tried to smile.

"Yes, my son. While it's not too bad, but I feel rather weak." April took a little piece of her shirt and made a small rip and then ripped up a few wraps of her shirt and placed them over the wound to dry up the blood. Leo and I removed the wrappings from our wrists and wrapped it around his wound.

"Sensei, where is Donnie? Is he alright?" Okay, I knew that he was hurt and weak, but I couldn't help it. I wanted to know. Master Splinter nodded weakly.

"Yes, I think so. He escaped Shredder but was chased by a few foot-bots. But I think he got away alright." We let out a sigh of relief. One less thing to worry about, but now one question still remained.

"What do we do now?"

A/N: Okay, this was a really long chapter, so I really hope you like it since I woke earlier than I usually do and have written this pretty much all day. Things I do for the people who like my writing. And the song? Did anyone recognize it? Anyway it's a really beautiful song so if you haven't heard it you should really listen to it. In any version you want. And I'm really bad at writing fighting scenes so I hope they work for you and if anyone have any tips then please give me some! Anyway, thank you for reading and please review. It would make me happy! Bye and good night!
