Chapter one: Taken


I don't own SRMTHFG or TMNT.

Chiro pov

The war had begun. Skeleton King was back, again, and it was up to the team and I to stop him, again. Honestly, this guy really needed to die. Like permanently! Ugly monsters? Can handle them. Secret societies? Faced worse. Killer demon monkeys? PA-lease! Their nothing. No, of all the thing we had to do today of all days, we had to go into battle with the bag of bones again.

I glanced at Antauri. He was meditating again. The battle moments ago had wore all of us out. I knew he was really out of it, so I just left my gift on a table in his room. I walked down the hall to Nova's room to find her asleep in her mountain of stuffed toys. I smiled softly and placed her gift as well. She would find it when she woke up. I went to each of the team's rooms, but they were all busy or asleep. So I just left the gifts and let them be. I smiled and walked out to stretch my legs and get some air.

I took a deep breath and sighed enjoying the little peace left. I leaned against the foot of the robot and smiled at the fading sun. I was about to head in again when something grabbed me and pain flared through my whole body. I screamed, but it was a human scream. I didn't have time to figure out what it was because I felt black creep into my vision.

Antauri pov

I felt Chrio's fear and pain spike and opened my eyes quickly to find the boy was no longer in the room. I ran out and searched. I was joined quickly by the rest of the team. "I heard a scream. Is everyone alright?" asked Nova. Then, she looked around at the faces around her. "Where's Chiro?" she asked in a panic.

We spread and searched for our leader, friend, and family member. I couldn't feel his signature anymore. That wasn't good. I went back to my room to look for clues. Then, I saw it. A small blue and silver box on one of my tables. I picked it up. On it was a card.

Dear Antauri,

Today mark the one year anniversary of the day we met. I'm really glad to have met all of you. You're the best family a kid can ask for. Anyway, this is for you. It's taken me a while to make, but I hope you'll like it.

Love,

Chrio.

I opened the box and found a beautifully crafted silver necklace. The pendent was our emblem.

New York

Leonardo pov

We were on our regular patrol of the city. We jumped from roof to roof looking for anything out of whack. "Hey, Leo!" called Don. I looked over at him "Does that count as out of whack?" he pointed to a limp form on the roof in front of us. We jumped over and approached carefully. I turned it over to find it to be no more then a young boy. Maybe, thirteen. He moaned as I turned him. He looked hurt, bad.

I turned to my brothers "We'll need to take him back with us." they nodded and I scooped him up gently. He murmured in his sleep. "An-tauri."
