A/N Hey guys! I got a lot of love and stuff from the first chapter so, this is going to be more than a one-time thing! Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!

Cracked Shells Ch 2

Mikey was having a tough day. He and his brothers had an argument this morning, which had led to the hashi which had then led to the three older turtles to blame the youngest. Michelangelo decided it was best to go skateboarding in the sewer, even though there was heavy waters from the recent rain.

"Whoo! Awesome!"

Mikey grinned when he landed another great trick. He didn't notice the puddle of water and skated right through resulting in his colliding with a wall.

"Ouch man…"

Mikey looked down and picked up his skateboard. While steadying himself and expecting the cut that crash landing had gotten him.

"Gotta be more careful, that could've been a nasty cut"

He turned and was about to start making his way back home when he heard voices. Following the voices he found himself peeking through a grate at some foot soldiers. It was late so no one would notice him gone right?

Mikey pulled himself up the ladder to the manhole cover and pushed it out of the way.

"I won't need backup, just two guys…"

With this thought Michelangelo assured himself he had nothing to worry about, although a small gut feeling kept telling him otherwise.

He followed the two into a warehouse, they led him to more foot soldiers. Climbing onto a beam on the ceiling Mikey listened to the people below him argue.

"We need to find those freaks and finish them!"

"Bullets don't affect them, and the biggest one is very aggressive."

"Then aim for their skin, they must pay for what they did to our master"

"Are you sure?"

"It should be easy now that we don't have to worry about keeping them alive anymore. Perhaps we should dig through the last place we found them, they probably didn't stray to far from it."

Mikey leaned forward to listen better and instead fell of the beam right into the middle of

"….. Hi?"

"One of the turtles! Kill him!"

Mikey jumped up and reached for his weapons. Only to remember he had left them in the dojo. Mikey groaned he whacking the nearest ninja with his skateboard And took off.

Mikey made it two blocks before trying to decide where to go from there, fate made that choice for him as a stray bullet, courtesy of the guys chasing him, grazed his leg and opened the cut on his leg and opened it further.

"Gah!"

Mikey grabbed his leg it felt like someone was tearing the muscle off the bone with Shredder's knives. He needed to get underground and quick.

"C'mon Mikey. Pull it together"

Mikey got himself to the edge of the building and prepared to jump but his injured leg buckled and he fell. He dropped from the roof to the cold hard ground flat on his shell.

A loud crunch-like noise was heard. The sound came before the pain. Mikey's mouth was open with a silent scream, it hurt like shell and he wanted to scream his lungs out but couldn't seem to find his voice.

Mikey slowly rolled over and crawled to the manhole cover on his hands and knees. He made his way down to the sewer and to the lair. He walked inside and looked around to see that no one was around so he started for the room and his brothers had to share, just like their old lair. He slid his skateboard aside he took tiny steps careful to increase the horrible throb all through-out his back.

He didn't spy the pizza box he left out earlier and slipped falling flat onto his shell. More pain exploded all along his shell. He let out a small yell and tried to inhale but air wouldn't come. He laid there and tried to take a deep breath.

Raphael walked in yelling at his older brother.

"Why aren't we out there looking for him? He could be lost or something!"

"Raph we need to reasonable. Mikey's a ninja too. He could have made his way back here, he probably got bored and went to April's"

"Actually I called called April 6 minutes and 17 seconds into this search for Mikey and she hasn't seen him nor heard from him"

"Thanks Donnie, we can always count on you for information we don't need."

"Raph, leave Donnie alone. We need to focus on finding Mikey"

From the ground Michelangelo crawled into the shared room and climbed into the first bed he could reach, which he assumed was his. He was pretty sure he was in the right bed, but was really to tired and hurt to care, he pulled the blanket over his head and began drifting off to sleep.

"We need to split up and check the lair, maybe he did come back on his own"

"I'll check the dojo"

Raph and Donnie watched the eldest turtle get up and leave to continue searching for their youngest brother.

"I'll get the TV room and kitchen"

The red banded turtle got up to go look for his baby brother

"I guess I'm left to go check anywhere else. May as well start with our room"

Donatello headed towards the room he and his three brothers shared. Three beds were empty, but to his surprise the last bed he checked, his bed, wasn't empty.

"Mikey?"

He slowly pulled his blanket back and saw his younger brother's head.

"Mikey?"

He gentle put his hand on Mikey's shoulder and was about to shake him when he noticed something, Mikey's shell, it was badly cracked!

"Mikey! Mikey wake up! What happened to your shell?!"

Mikey was way out of it but Donatello's yells caught the others' attention.

The two eldest turtles ran in to see their little brother trying to wake up their youngest brother.

"Donnie? What's wrong?"

"Is that Mikey? What's wrong with him?"

"Don, talk to us"

"We need to get Mikey to the infirmary, his shell is cracked really bad"

Raph groaned, from personal experience he knew how badly a cracked shell hurt. He carefully approached the incoherent turtle and shifted him so he'd be sitting up. He grabbed his arm while Leonardo grabbed his legs.

Donatello ran off to get the infirmary ready. The two eldest turtles slowly carried Michelangelo towards the open cot in the lab. With the help of their genius brother they laid the smallest turtle on his plastron with a pillow under his head.

"we need to see if the crack is infected or dirty then clean it and wrap it"

Donatello got all the items he need for his task out with Leonardo took Mikey's sunglasses and necklace off, he felt that would make his brother comfier.

Donatello began to examine and clean the wound but when he poured a little to much disinfectant Mikey jolted and beagn flailing his arms and legs.

He couldn't remember where he was and why he was laying face down but his shell was in serious pain and it needed to stop

"Donnie! What's going on?!"

"He's awake and he's panicking! We need to- oof!"

Donnie nearly doubled over in pain as Mikey's arm shot out and nailed him right in the stomach

Leonardo tied one arm down and rushed to Donnie's side and pinned down Mikey's other arm, this caused the orange masked turtle even more distress

Raph crouched down in front of Mikey and lifted his head up.

"Calm down squirt!"

Mikey opened his eyes and saw his older brother in front of him

"Raph? What's going on? Where am I? why does it hurt so much?!"

"It's ok ding-dong! Yer safe! We found you in Donnie's bed with a cracked shell, wanna tell me how that happened?"

"I was running from some Foot and I slipped and fell off a roof and landed on my shell!"

Raph winced, that did sound pretty painful. He sighe and rubbed his shoulder.

"I'll get you something to eat and you can have some pain pills ok?"

"O-okay"

Raph got up and grabbed a frozen slice of pizza and headed back to the infirmary he knew Mikey wouldn't mind the cold food but hey, he eats it like this half the time.

"Here Mikey"

The exhausted turtle took a small bite out of the pizza then turned his head.

"Not hungry"

Donatello handed Raph the pills Mikey needed to take. The red masked turtle looked down and saw twice the normal dose HE would take.

"Uh… Donnie? You sure this is the right amount?"

"Yeah, he'll be in a lot of pain when he wakes up if doesn't take those but you better do it quick, you know how Mikey gets with medicine"

"M'kay…. Open wide Mikey"

"mm-mm"

"open"

"No"

"Leo, need your help with this"

The two turtles eventually got Mikey to swallow down the pills and watched him drift to sleep before Donnie finished bandaging his shell

"How long do ya think he'll be out for?"

"The dosage was pretty high so he should be sleeping til tomorrow afternoon at the latest"

Leonardo looked between his two talking brothers and the one that was sleeping on the cot.

"Why don't you guys get some rest? I'll watch Mikey"

"You sure bro?"

"Yeah, I'll let you know if anything changes"

Raph stretched and rubbed Mikey's shoulder gently

"G'night ding dong"

Donatello adjusted Mikey's pillow so he wouldn't get a crick in his neck then petted his head lightly

"Sleep well Mikey"

The next morning the turtles were surprised to see Mikey awake and relatively relieved of the pain, there'd be moments when Mikey complained of a white hot pain but it would pass as quickly as it would come.

"Hey guys!"

"Hey April. What's up?"

"just came to say hi and see if Mikey was feeling better"

Raph sighed, he remembered when April would come visit him during his long healing process. Now, much to Mikey's excitement, it was his turn.

"Hey Angelcakes! How have you been?"

"I'm ok. How's your shell? Still hurts?"

"a bit nothing a turtle can't handle though"

"I'll bet. But here I brought some movies and popcorn. Let's have a movie night

The three turtles and their human friend made popcorn and a pile of pillows around Michelangelo who with Donnie's help was laying on the floor

April ended up resting her on a pillow which was propped up by Mikey's shell. The turtles couldn't wake up their youngest brother without waking up April from her much-needed rest. They decided to just throw a blanket over them both and leave them be for a while
