My head swayed and ached as I tried to open my eyes.

A soft clap of thunder rung in my ears as follow-up lightning lit my face, indecating a storm had just passed.

Closing my eyes, I tried to think back to all the mayhem that had only just occured.

I felt the floor rock to one side to the other.

My droopy eyelids flutterd back open to the sound of...waves?

I eyed my surroundings.

The ceiling above me was just a bunch of metal planks and the walls were old wood.

Mice scuried into empty barrels that sat nearby.

A few holes shot light into our space. Thats when I noticed my feet and hands where tied behind me!

I could hardly see, the storm had completely stopped, leaving an errie scilence.

I had just enough moonlight to glance around.

It seemed as though me and my brothers were being held captive!

Wait, were where my brothers?

"Donnie, Raph, Mikey!?" I whisperd forcefully.

My stomach knoted as only scilence answerd.

The knot untangled as I heard a soft groan of pain from Mikey. I inched towards the sound.

Him, Raph and Donnie where tied up behind me, out of sight. I crawled my way towards Mikey.

"Ughhh dude, I had the weirdest dream-..."

He opend his eyes in horror when he gained consiousness, looking shocked at where he was.

"Guys! Im so glad your ok!"

I breathed a sigh of releife.

"..where are we?" Donnie rubbed his eyes and sat forward. "The last thing I can remember is the portal and salty water."

Raph sat up next to him, his eyes wide and bloodshot.

"I think im gonna be sick!"

He held his mouth before spitting out a mouthful of warm sea water.

"Ewww dude do it that way!!" Mikey shreiked, trying to point in the other direction.

"Hey, why are we tied up?" Donnie looked at me.

"I dont know. I think were on a boat because I hear waves and this looks like a boats storage." I said glancing around.

"Were all in pretty beat-up condition. I think we should regain strength and then find out whats going on and where that moon crystal went."

I whisperd.

"Are you nuts?! Were tied up for a reason ,Leo ,And im not sticking around to find out why!"

Raph challenged.

"But if we rest, we'll have more strength to take out this...enemy."

Donnie shot at Raph.

Raph just rolled his eyes and stared out the window that was emitting all our moonlight.

"Geez, thats one bright moon."

Mikey observed.

"We are definetly on an ocean. I mean, the salty wind and rough waves point that out, but which one is it?"

Donnie joined Raph by the window.

I stayed still, not wanting to move.

Not wanting to think.

I just wanted to be home again, not where ever we were.

All of a sudden, a door clicked open above us, followed by heavy footsteps. 

"Guys, this is an underground prision." Donnie whisperd, his eyes darting upward.

A loud voice boomed, "BRING THAT FILTHY BRAT IN!!!"

The door clicked open and sombody got thrown to the floor.

A soft groan followed the thud and the door closed again.

"You..*cough cough*...you will never get away with kidnapping royalty!" A soft, but detirmined voice threatend.

"TELL ME WHERE THE CRYSTAL IS, BRAT!" The booming voice demanded.

We all looked at eachother.

"I dont have it!" The girl squeaked. "I swear! It was stolen from the castle weeks ago!"

"By who?!??!" The loud voice had a funny accsent to it, raspy and rough.

The girl didnt respond.

"YOU WONT TALK EH? YE FILTHY LITTLE SHE DEVIL, LETS SEE HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR YOU TO FIND YER VOICE!!!"

We heard a scuffling of feet above us and the loud clamping of boots.

The latch above us opend and the girl got throw down next to us.

She stayed on the ground, not moving.

We all looked up to see the sillouet of a man with a beard until the latch which imprisoned us slammed closed.
