A malicious grin was on Slash's face as he stood in front of a hunched over Donatello as he coughed up more blood, holding his right arm. "Come on your the most pathetic one!" Slash growled out, kicking Donatello right in the face, making him fly backwards as he yelled out with pain, falling back after he flew back a few yards. Slash had Donnie's purple bandana tied on his large and muscular right arm, his hands were coated with the other turtles blood but Donnie was recieving torture...pure torture. Donnie was getting up each time, holding the bo staff with his shaky hands as he stared at Slash was grinning still, Slash roared out, slamming his large fist into Donnie's gut, making him hunch over again, only to have hard knee land right onto his face. Slash stopped abruptly, feeling a small pebble hit the side of his head. He growled out, turning to the right slowly and he saw Rarity standing there confidently even though she was screaming at herself in her mind. "Leave...him...alone!" She shouted out, panting some. Slash threw Donnie down onto the ground, having him groan out since his shell cracked some more. "Bad idea, dumb broad..." Slash held his mace in his right hand, staring down at Rarity who started to back up a little. "Rarity, run!" Leo called out, seeing Raph and Mikey wake up and they watched with wide eyes, all three of them shouting out incoherent things. He lifted the mace up, ready to slam it down on Rarity before he felt something cling onto his back.

"Don't you dare!" Donnie shouted out with a scratchy and agony filled voice, his body was broken and it hurt terribly, but he was definitely not going to let Slash kill or even touch Rarity, he cared about her too much. "Get off of me!" Slash roared out, throwing his body to the side roughly, a few times, but Donnie was holding on with the rest of his strength, which wasn't that much. Both Donnie and Slash continued to fight before their eyes widened with surprise...Slash stepped off the side of the roof. "DONNIE!" Rarity screamed, running up to them and her fingertips just grazed Donnie's hand but she was too late...both Donnie and Slash plummeted to the streets, there was a loud crash and a few car alarms went off. The other turtles' eyes were wide with surprise, Rarity had tears running down her cheeks. "No...NO!" Rarity ran back down the fire escape she climbed up and towards the street, the other three following the best they can. "Slash is gone-oh man..." There was a large crater in the road but there was no Slash...Donnie's broken body was laying right next to it, he must of fallen off of Slash as they fell to the ground. "Donnie!" Rarity screamed again, tears rolling down her cheeks, she ran up to Donnie, gently holding his head and her eyes widened some with surprise, seeing how weak and how only shallow breaths escaped him. "Donnie, please be okay! Donnie!" Rarity cried heavily, her forehead resting on his softly.

Donnie slowly pried his eyes open, they were narrow and weak, he smiled at her, reaching up to her to gently push some of her hair away from her face. "...are...you...okay?" He asked, smiling up at her softly and weakly, some blood running down his chin. "Yes I am but...are you...?!" She exclaimed, feeling his body start to weak again and then her eyes widened some with surprise again, watching him fall unconscious right in front of her, she cried, not believing that she didn't talk him out of going out to fight Slash but she didn't, lucky enough Slash was wounded, he wouldn't get far after that fall of his. Hours passed, Rarity sat next to Donnie as he laid on a small but soft bed in the lair, his body almost completely covered his bandages and his right arm was in a splint, it was completely broken, no one knew about that, except Fluttershy of course, lucky enough everybody else was in the lair, all of them worried about the two. "How long has she been in there?" Twilight Sparkle asked, sitting next to Leo. "Three hours, she said she wouldn't move until Donnie got up again." Raph explained, his arm getting wrapped up in bandages by Sunset Shimmer. "She's eating yeah, but she's barely speaking to anybody and she said that she'd even sleep next to him." Mikey finished, needing a hug and Pinkie Pie helped with that, Mikey hated seeing his family in pain, Donnie was in a coma from blood loss and the pain he was put through, it was understandable. "Poor Rarity..." Fluttershy mumbled, looking through the door to the makeshift infirmary.

Rarity stared down at Donnie, one of her much smaller hands resting on top of Donnie's hands, holding them softly. "Oh Donnie...please be okay..." she said yet again, hearing a few steps and she looked over towards the door, seeing Twilight walk in. "Hey..." She started, pulling up a chair and she sat down next to Rarity. "Hello Twilight..." She murmured, looking back down at Donnie's face. "Fluttershy said that Donnie would only be like this for a few weeks, he'll be okay." She gently patted Rarity's shoulder and with that, the fashionista broke out into tears again. "It's my fault! I could of helped him! I could of stopped him from going!" Rarity hugged Twilight tightly who hugged back almost instantly, knowing that she definitely needed it, her crush was brutalized right in front of her. "Rarity, he's a ninja and he's loyal to his brothers, you couldn't of talked him out of it! It's not your fault!" Twilight gently pulled back to look at Rarity's crying face, feeling so bad for her. Donnie was a fighter, not a bad one, he was amazing but Slash was just too strong for him. Twilight looked back down at Donnie's wounded body, remembering something. "Oh when we came to get you, we managed to findt this in the crater..." Twilight pulled out Donnie's purple bandana from her skirt pocket and she handed it to Rarity who took it with shaky hands, holding it tightly as her tears slowed down, holding it close to her heart.

After Twilight left, Rarity stayed close to Donnie until it was past midnight, she had brought extra clothes from her boutique, she was going to ask Master Splinter if she could stay but she didn't need to, Master Splinter knew how much she cared about Donatello, she was more than welcome to stay with them. All of the other girls were sound asleep in the lair, the turtles were in their rooms, and finally Rarity got into her pajamas, walking towards Donnie's bed and she managed to lay down next to him, her head just barely resting on his chest. She held one of his large hands in one of her own much smaller ones and after a few tries, she managed to gently intertwine their fingers together, smiling at the sight. Rarity looked back up at Donnie's face, she leaned up and shakily kissed his lips, cupping his cheek for a few moments before she cuddled up next to him, slowly falling asleep. In the middle of the night, through everybody sound sleep, Donnie had a hand resting on his chest but very shokcingly, in his supposed coma...his right hand twitched a little, feeling Rarity's kiss from earlier...it...made him feel strong...knowing that Rarity cared about him.
