Rpg: Funny how things work out

[heretic888]

"Whatever it is," Mike replied, his hands gripping his nunchaku, "it's gonna be dead if it doesn't put Donny down!"

[MagentaSkies]

Azrael flew above them, staring at the two his ki was masked to a mere point of energy masking everything from his thoughts to his near non-existant emotions. A female turtle? Folry said nothing of a female turtle... now was obviously not the time to kill them... especially not with the other two not there.

"If you insisit." He said, landing abruptly and setting Donatello down and promptly flying off with out another word.

[Jade Green]

As soon as Donatello was on the ground, Randi immediatly ran to his side and checked his pulse. "Oh man..." SHe moaned. "We need to get him back to the Loft... or where ever you guys live and SOON!"

[heretic888]

Michelangelo watched Azrael fly off, making sure he wouldn't try anything.

He then lifted his brother off the ground. "Randi, watch my rear and make sure that freak isn't tailing us."

With that, he began to run off at break-neck speed towards the Loft....

[R-iZZy]

Donatello was being shaken from every step, but his body went into a state of numbness. He couldn't open his eyes, his mouth only opened uncontrollably, and his body remained a giant scab. He wanted his agony to end as soon as possible, but it wasn't going to happen soon, or so he kept thinking.

Sure, he was out, but not gone. He could still think, he could still speak to himself, he just wasn't aware what was going on outside his mental world. But he knew that he was in trouble. He wanted to defend himself so badly, but it seemed as though he had failed Master Splinter, he had failed the name of his family... and the name of himself.

Donatello wanted to attempt movement, but he couldn't snap out of his dream world... not just yet. It was possible that he never would. But he was sure that however he ended up, dead or alive... he would regret ever trying to make friends with people he couldn't understand.

[Jade Green]

Randi did as told... but her main attention was on Donatello's subconcious self. It was Dangerous for Randi to enter the mind of an unconcious or sleeping person... especially when she herself was only putting half of her concious self into it.

She gently entered Donatello's unconcious world... were the subconcious lived and began her search... maybe she could console him from here...

[Donatello... Donatello... where are you?]

In this manner of Psychic power, not even Mike could 'hear' it...

[Don... please answer me... for your brothers... for you...]

[heretic888]

Michelangelo reached the Loft sooner than even he had expected. He gently placed Don down on the living floor and went to fetch the first aid kit again. While Randi was attempting her psychic trick, which Mike suspected but didn't protest, he got to work patching his brother up and stopping the bleeding.

First things first: stop the pain. Morphine time....

[R-iZZy]

Donatello could see himself moving in a blur... he couldn't see himself as a clear image. It must've been drugs or something injected into him. He didn't know what was going on... he then heard a voice call...

Donatello took it as voices running through his head and ignored the calling. He felt so safe in his world... no pain felt, no emotions, not a care in the world. He didn't have to worry about hurting Randi's feelings, though it still stuck in the back of his mind.

He didn't have to worry about spoiling Li's plans, though that guilt reached him as well. He heard the voice again...

Donatello held his head, disturbed, and bursted out, "STOP WITH THE VOICES! YOU'RE NOT REAL!" Little did he know that it was real. Randi's call was attempting to reach him... but he thought it was just a side-effect of living in this dream realm. He kept silent, waiting for the voice to come back...

[Jade Green]

Randi cringed, nearly falling to her knees... not only had Don yelled out in real life... but he nearly shattered HER with his subconcious scream.

[Donny... please, its me, Randi...] She tried again. [I know you think I'm just a voice... but its really me! Please, hold on... Look for me...]

((Nincompoop, have you ever seen the Cell? Think of that with Randi's attempts to reach you))

[Jade Green]

Leo and Raph saw the three coming back and immediatly followed. "Don..." Leo mumbled when he saw the condition that Donatello was in. "What happened?"

Randi didn't answer... she seemed to busy staring at Don.

[R-iZZy]

((OOC: "The Cell"? Never saw it... I gotta try it sometime.))

Donatello calmed down a bit, as he found out that the voice was calling him again.

Donatello assumed that this voice was actually attempting to reach him, then spoke. ["If this is really Randi, what would make you care so much for me all of a sudden?"]

Though he questioned the voices motive, he obeyed the voice and searched for who was supposed to be Randi. Donatello wasn't sure who it was, but he wanted to escape. ["If you were Randi, you would let me rot. Why all of a sudden hear me out when I am at the worst stage?"] Donatello wanted to trust the voice, that's all he wanted this whole time, Randi's trust. But it seemed so hard to get it. But now, it was so simple... but why did it have to be so hard? In order to get one step closer to gaining Randi's trust, he had to put his trust in Randi's voice.

Donatello continued searching for Randi...

[I never didn't care about you] Randi sounded annoyed but calm, [You just pushed my buttons and I pushed back.] She tried to explain, [I grew up in a place where if I didn't... hit them twice as hard as they had hit me... they'd just hit me again... if Mike, Leo, or Raph were to make a quip at me... I would have made an even meaner quip at them... When I left... I wasn't mad at you... I was just... peturbed..] her tone lowered, [and I had something else on my mind...]

Black and white visions of an unknown male turtle that looked a lot like Michelangelo only... taller and thinner entered Don's mind.

[His name was Elijah... he was like a... strong hold in my life.... some one to calm me down when my temper went to wild. Now that he's not around... my temper is as bad--maybe worse--as you saw.] She explained, [when I need to calm down, thats when I miss him the most...]

Donatello wanted to hug Randi right now, he wanted someone to guide him to the outer world. He didn't want to be entrapped in a world that would never let him see his brothers again. But he kept his mind off of that as he finally had the chance to hear Randi out. He wanted to believe that he wasn't the cause of her pain, that her story was all the evidence he needed to not believe he was the problem, but guilt struck him too hard.

He took his attention off of that thought and attended to Randi's feelings. ["So this Elijah guy seems like a big influence in your life..."] Donatello began. ["And that's why you wanted your space. So it really wasn't entirely me? But imagery of Elijah just illuminates in your mind when you have to cool down?"]

The pieces to the puzzle were starting to fit, the picture had become more obvious. She wasn't eluding Donatello specifically, for this would have happened with any other of the guys. She just wants time alone when under stress. ["Well, if I wanted to make peace with you... you could've at least heard me out. I poured my heart out there, I swallowed my pride, and it was all worth sh*t when you just left me hanging. I felt like a sack of maneur, and my brothers weren't making it any easier."] Donatello let out a sniffle, trying to suck up a tear, ["But I understand. I sometimes want my time alone too."]

He didn't want to ask the next question, but he needed to connect with Randi, understand where she was coming from emotionally. He gulped and slowly asked the next question. ["S... s... so. Whatever h-- happened to Elijah?"]

[Something like that... yes] Randi replied

[But you did make your peace!] Randi snapped, [just because I don't reply doesn't mean I don't listen! If I don't reply there's a good chance I'm just thinkin' about what you said.]

[/quote]

Randi's mind lurched painfully at the question, Donatello could probably feel the pain. She swallowed it down and attempted to answer in words but they wouldn't come out...

Instead black and white scenes, all in her P.O.V., flashed into Don's mind as if were some kind of movie.

An arguement:

'But you don't HAVE to go!' Randi's voice growled, looking up to Elijah. The language she spoke was French but despite it, Don could understand. 'Tell them you're not going!'

Elijah stared down into Randi/Don's eyes, 'You know I have to go... I can't just turn my shell on them.'

'Why can't Marx go instead?!' Randi snarled, 'HE'S the one who wanted this war! He's the one who proved that they weren't holding true to the treaty!'

'Marx is neaded here.'

'You're needed here!'

Another black and white Scene:

Randi/Don stood on a port watching a large, military looking boat with the letters U.S.M.M. on the side of it. One of the several mutants on the boat looked down directly at her... it was Elijah.

{I'll com back.} He told her through a private link Randi must have put between them, {I'll always be there for you...}

The Scene faded into blackness.

[He lied... he never came back...] She whispered, [He died about two years in.]

[heretic888]

Michelangelo suspected Randi was trying to 'bring Don back' so to speak, using her psychic talents.

Good, that'll let me focus my energies on patchin' him up... he thought to himself.

Michelangelo had applied ice packs and a head brace he had jerry-rigged out of some spare parts around Donatello's head. The worst damage was possible concussions. This would allow the blood to flow back to Don's brain.

Mike was stitching up and cuts or ruptures on Don's arms and legs. Luckily, turtles had shells, and no vital organs were injured. Still, he had lost a lot of blood.....

Michelangelo prepared to make a spontaneous blood transfusion to his brother. *poke* *poke*

The blood began to flow from his arm into Don's, Mike hopeful that this would be enough to save him.....

[Jade Green]

Leo had gone to get a damp rag to put on Don's head while the other two worked. He looked to Li who watched from the door to her room.

"Sorry about this..."

"I have some more medical supplies in my room," She replied turning to get them.

[heretic888]

"Leo," Mike called to his brother, "check his pulse for me..."

[Jade Green]

"Its slow, but... he'll live." Leo replied after gently putting his finger on Don's neck.

Li came back with bandages and other medical items and set them down between Leo and Mike. "Use what you need."

[heretic888]

Mike told Leo what to do as the blood was still being drained out of his arm....

Another black and white Scene:

Donatello hung his head low, sympathetic about Randi's trials and tribulations, of Elijah's fate being met. He slowly mumbled out words in sympathy, showing his care, ["I'm sorry you had to go through that..."]

Donatello was not all that used to paying his respects to the deceased. ["But look at it this way... Elijah is now with you forever. Something I probably won't be with my brothers."] Donatello had come to the conclusion that this was Randi. His words actually being considered... possibly. He didn't want to let Randi down again. ["Okay Randi, I truly trust that this is you. I'm going to find you... but don't leave me... I can't take this world of solitude. It seems so tranquil, yet eerie at the same time."]

Donatello walked through the realm, looking for Randi to bring him back to reality. ["I won't let you witness me die as well. I can't be too sure how much more you can take."]
