Raphael felt like someone had punched him. His missing brother was on TV attacking people and destroying the set. He had to be dreaming. His brother would never attack or hurt innocent people. He never liked hurting the foot soldiers. What did Shredder do to him? He wondered.
"We've got to help him!" Leo said to his brothers. He, like Raphael, believed something else was going on. "They must have done something to Mikey."
"No kidding Leo! Mikey would never do that intentionally."
Donatello grabbed the keys. "Let's go." They followed him out into the sewer and hurried over to the van. They drove as fast as they could, hoping to get there before they left.
They burst through the door into the studio. Foot Soldiers rushed over to them and started attacking. The Turtles fought back.
"Keep them busy." A monotone voice said from behind them. "I almost have the tape that Master Shredder wants."
Leonardo turned around wondering who had said that. The voice sounded vaguely familiar. He saw Michelangelo standing there searching through a file cabinet. If he hadn't seen him standing there, he would have never known it was him that spoke. He didn't sound like the brother he knew. He hurried over to him. "Mikey are you all right?"
"Stay away from me turtle." He drew out a weapon. But it wasn't the numchucks that he had always used. No they were katanas, the same weapons Leo used. When did his brother start to use those? He wondered.
"Mikey are you okay?" He asked carefully taking a cautious step towards his little brother. Michelangelo backed up a step holding his katanas in a defensive gesture. He just kept moving closer.
"Stay away!" He yelled slashing out with one of the swords. Leo jumped back. "I'm warning you! Don't come a step closer!" Leo tried and had to quickly bring his own katana up to block before he was cut. "I warned you!"
"Mike what's the matter with you?" Leo demanded. "Why are you acting this way?"
"Acting like what? You guys are the enemy. Master Shredder told me all about you. You want to kill us."
"What? Mikey..." he was stopped by a kick from behind. He turned back to fighting the Foot Soldiers. He looked behind him and saw Mikey finding whatever tapes it was that he had been looking for.
April got off of the floor. "Don't take that tape!" She tried to get it out of his hands but he just pushed her away.
One of the more overzealous crewmen hit Michelangelo over the head with a chair and kept hitting him until he passed out.
Raphael had to fight the urge to run over there and punch the man out. No matter how strangely his brother was acting, the man shouldn't have attacked his brother. He saw that Michelangelo was hurt and the Foot Soldiers were leaving. Raphael went over to Michelangelo's motionless body and picked him up. "Don, Leo help me carry Mikey!" They hurried over. "Look at that!" He said indicating the faint scars on his brother's body.
They tortured him!" Don's voice shook. "I was hoping they hadn't."
"Shredder is going to pay!" Raphael growled. "I'm going to make him pay."
They carried him to the van. They noticed how much lighter he was. But no one made a comment about it. They were all too worried about what was going on with their brother. They'd never seen him act that way before.
"What if he comes to on the way to the lair Leo?" Raphael asked. Leo was driving and Donatello was in the passenger seat. Raphael was in the back with Michelangelo.
"I don't know. Just hope that he doesn't. If he does keep him calm." Leonardo looked at him through the rearview mirror. His brother looked so angry. It wasn't that he wasn't angry; Raph's face just showed it more. He looked over at Don's face, which was a mixture of a lot of emotions. He hoped they would get to the lair before Mikey woke up.
