Chapter 11:

“Donnie? What are you doing back here?”. Dark Donatello slowly walks closer to him. Dark Raphael shakes his head, put his hand out and says: “Stay back Donnie”. 

Dark Donatello speaks for the first time: “Why do you want me to stay back Raph? I’m not going to hurt you”. “But you hurt Mikey… Why? Why did you do it? Was I not enough?” Dark Raphael sounds hurt and slightly panicking. “I… I thought we were happy together”. 

Dark Donnie slowly makes his way closer again. “We are… You don’t have to worry about that” “Then why did you hurt Mikey? And why did you hurt the other Mikey as well?” Dark Raph is shaking now, tears are in his eyes and his head is hanging low. 

Dark Donnie is now almost standing in front of him, moving even closer: “I didn’t mean for it to happen…*takes a step closer* I don’t know what happened, but I wasn’t myself… *takes another step closer* That’s why I’m here… To figure out what happened to me and why I did that…” When he stands fully in front of Dark Raph he puts his hand on Dark Raph’s cheek. “And you can help me with that… Please Raph… Will you help me look?”. 

Dark Raphael looks at his mate. He looks sincere in to finding what had happened to him. So he nods at Dark Donatello. Dark Donatello smiles and wipes a stray tear from Dark Raphael’s cheek. “Thank you Raph… Now come on… We need to go back to the room where… *sighs* it happened… As much as it hurts me” Dark Donatello takes Dark Raphael by the hand and together they walk off towards the last storage in the back. What Dark Raph doesn’t see is that Dark Donatello’s eyes flash red for a second, before turning back to normal and he grins.

Dark Leonardo and Dark Michelangelo try to open the door of the dining room without getting the purple slime to touch them. When the force the door open, they see the dining room. It is a big communal room, all the tables and chairs are next to each other in multiple rows. The kitchen is off to the far back of the room and there is a balcony about it. The room is covered with purple slime and ooze.

Dark Mikey says: “Think the cook used a little too much baking powder in her last pie, right Leo?” He chuckles, but Dark Leo shushes him immediately: “Quiet Mikey… you heard that?”. Dark Mikey looks around the dining room but he shakes his head, then a soft thump is heard and they both look at it.

In the kitchen they see some movement. It is dark and far away, so they only see a shimmer. Dark Leo and Dark Mikey decide to get closer. They try to be as stealthy as possible, without getting too close to the purple slime. They get closer and closer towards the kitchen, slowly drawing their weapons, they stay on guard, not knowing if it is just some rats or a real enemy they will find in there.

All of a sudden Dark Leo holds his hand up in order for them both to stop moving. Dark Mikey looks at him and waits. Dark Leo sniffs the air, he smells something other than musk, although he can’t quite place it what it is. He looks again at Mikey to continue walking towards the kitchen. 

When they get closer Dark Leo suddenly recognizes the smell. It is uncooked meat that has been left out for too long, a rotten smell is all around the kitchen. But what is even worse, is that you can hear some groaning, crunching and chewing coming from behind the kitchen counter. 
They see 6 people like creatures, purple skin color, red eyes and clothes shredded on their bodies, eating some frozen hotdogs. Some are trying to find more food and breaking into the big freezer at the back. Then one turns towards the turtles and screeches. Dark Leo looks shocked and then says: “Oh no…”

A couple of minutes back in time…

Leo’s P.O.V.

I’m getting restless. We haven’t heard anything from the other turtles after they sought out their Raphael. I know they are supposed to be stealthy like us, but I can’t help but to feel anxious. I just want to bust in there.

“You alright Leo?” Raph asks me. “Not really… We haven’t heard anything from them… It takes too long…” I sigh. Master Splinter puts his hand on my shoulder and he says: “You are right, my son… I also worry for the others… If we do not hear from them within the next 5 minutes, we go in after them… ” “I agree, sensei… Thank you…”. I bow to Master Splinter and go over to Donnie.

Donnie has been trying to get the map of the building so we can see where the dark turtles are at that moment. “How is it looking Donnie?” “I think I got it Leo… Take a look at this… *opens his watch and points at the map* As you can see there are two main floors, a basement and the roof patio. The shell-cell is on the first floor as you can see here… I was also running a heat scan in order to find the three of them when they are on separate floors… There, you can see two of them at the first floor and… Wait… Hang on… Leo, you see that?”

I look at the map and my worries seem legit. There are more pips in the building then the turtles, and 2 of them seem to be getting surrounded by multiple pips. “We need to go…  NOW!” and I start running towards the building.

->O<- ->O<- ->O<- ->O<- ->O<-

Donnie’s P.O.V.

I don’t even have time to think before Leo runs towards the building. I try to grab everything at once but then something on the map catches my eye, and I gasp. This is going to be one hell of a fight.

Dark Donatello opens one of the door to one of the storage rooms at the end of the hallway and walks in before Dark Raphael. Still holding his hand, Dark Donatello leads him inside and closes the door behind them. Dark Raphael looks in the room and he is shocked. The room is dark, windows covered with tarps and there is purple slime almost everywhere. Boxes and crates are scattered and there is a single tarp on the floor. Glass vials and documents are all across the room. What makes Dark Raphael cringe the most, there is a bloodied towel on the tarp as well.

“Uhm Donnie… Is… Is this where…” “Yes… Although… That purple ooze… That is new… And I haven’t seen it before…” Dark Donnie looks around. “It is hard for me to be here…” “It isn’t exactly easy for me either… Leo said the purple ooze was downstairs as well… Did you touch it?” “No… I did study it though… It’s like nothing I ever seen before… *walks towards the tarp* It almost looked like…” Dark Raphael walks closer to the tarp: “Like… what Donnie?” 

Dark Donatello looks up with red eyes and a smirk on his face, then he turns towards Dark Raphael and says in a mixed voice: “Like it can control your mind”

Dark Raph’s P.O.V.

“Donnie? What…” That is not my mate looking back at me, it just can’t be. “What happened to you? What happened to your voice? Your eyes?” I choke up. “What’s wrong Raphie? You don’t like me anymore?” That voice… It is not my mate. I’m getting angry and I draw my sais. “What have you done to my Donnie?”

That Donnie laughs oud loud. “I brought the deepest, darkest side of your brother, or should I say, mate…” I step closer to Donnie. “Ah, ah, ah… *draws a knife from his belt* Don’t come any closer, or I will decide to cut your mate up… Piece, by, piece…” I watch him raise the knife to his arm. He is threatening to cut my mate up. I need my brothers here, but how do I get them here without him knowing?

“No! I get it… You don’t have to do that, I’ll stay back… Just, tell me why… Why did you do this?” Donnie laughs. “Well Raph, to be fair… I was bored…” “Bored? You used my brother to rape Mikey and my brother… What kind of a sicko would do that when he’s bored?” “Careful, Raph… Remember who you are talking too” He sounds angry. “Then why don’t you enlighten me?”

I didn’t realize it until then that the room gotten darker than before. And there seems to be more purple ooze? No… Wait… It is… moving? What the fuck is happening? And why is it getting closer to me?! “What is happening?” I’m getting the ooze over me, and I can’t get out of it. I try to fight it, but it is like fighting mud. All the while I can hear Donnie laugh, and it hurts. “Who are you?!”

->O<- ->O<- ->O<- ->O<- ->O<-

Dark Donnie’s P.O.V.

Slowly I watch Raph getting sucked into the purple ooze. “My name is Shukinabo”. I walk closer to him and when he is lying on the ground, almost completely covered in the ooze and I say: “And we are getting very close in a short period, don’t you worry”. I laugh… And then I punch him in the face, knocking him out.
