Hey guys, I got a new story! :D Just wanting to say that the first chapter may seem a little weird, but that'll be explained in the next chapter, for now, enjoy! ^^

This time… this time they didn't have to pay. That was the only thing I could think off before I was sucked into the portal, the fearful expressions of my brothers being the last thing I saw. Pink enclosed me, flashes of purple and white mixing through the bright pink color. I remembered it, I've seen it before but as I was sucked in more and more, my mind went blank. I couldn't remember anything, everything was a blur.
It seemed like my brain was banging against the side of my skill, pain spreading through my body. Not the kind of pain when you get stabbed, or when you break a bone. No, the kind of pain you get when being electrocuted, that combined with exhaustion. My body felt numb, pain spreading through my body as I was lunged through the portal.
I tried to reach out, anything for me to hold on but my body refused to move a single bit. And if I could move, there was nothing to hold on for. There was nothing that stuck out, nothing solid. I couldn't grab anything. I shut my eyes as the speed increased and my stomach was starting to protest. There was no way back now.
This time… this time they didn't have to pay.
"Take that Kraang!"
Laughter escaped my throat as I watched the Kraang droid fly though the air. Chaos was all around us. The Kraang's orb, that had been silent now for weeks, had been activated again. Those freaky robots were up to something again, and of course Leo thought we had to investigate it again. Not like I was complaining, I was literally dying of boredom in the lair, there was just nothing to do! At least over here we could kick some Kraang butt.
"Mikey watch it!"
I whipped my head around at the sudden shout directed towards me. I immediately recognized Raph's grumpy voice. When my eyes finally landed on his I saw what the commotion was all about, the Kraang I had just sent flying had landed right next to him. Man if looks could kill, I'd be dead already.
"Sorry bro!" I half shouted, half laughed. I quickly converted my nun chuck into my kusarigama, wrapping the chain part around another Kraang droid and swinging it at a whole other bunch of Kraang. I grinned when the footbots cracked due to the impact, the Kraang creatures hastily crawling away from their bodies with squeaking noises.
"LEO!"
My body suddenly tensed, hearing the terrified voice of my immediate older brother. Donnie was staring wide eyed at a few Kraang who were working on something in the middle of the Kraang facility. It slowly started to light up, purple light encircling it. It looked… almost like a portal. The same one they used to bring other creatures from dimension X into our world.
"I got this D" I shouted towards my older brother, throwing my chain once again. It wrapped around the Kraang standing in front of the panel and I yanked it back, earning a loud squeal from the Kraang inside of the robot body. I laughed loudly as I swung it around, eventually releasing the Kraang, slamming it into the door, and before I knew what was happening a Kraang was pointed his gun at me. I let out a short scream and jumped out of the way, the laser darting past me and almost scraping the side of my plastron.
A witty comment was on top of my tongue right now but a loud bang behind me made me rethink. My eyes widened as I whipped my head around, the control panel now sparkling and within seconds I knew what has happened. The shot that was meant for me had hit the control panel. And to my horror the portal slowly charged and a purple void opened itself.
"MIKEY!"
I cringed slightly at the chorus of shouts but before someone could add more insults I could feel a force tucking at my body. My eyes widened even more when I knew what was going on, the portal was sucking us in! A loud yell came from my older brother and when I looked back I could see that Leo had his swords imbedded in the ground and holding Raph as the force slowly starting to increase.
Donnie, always being the smart one had used his grappling hook, wrapping it around himself. But Leo and Raph didn't have their grappling hook. A lump formed as I remember whose fault that was, mine. I did have my grappling hook, so without a second thought I threw it towards Raph, who caught it without needed a word.
"Use it Raph, or you'll be sucked inside!" I screamed when Raph casted his eyes towards me instead of helping himself.
"No way, ya need it as well!" Raph yelled back but didn't complain as Leo guided him backwards towards a large pole. I gritted my teeth slightly, wrapping my arm around a pole as well as the force continued to increase.
"I have my kusarigama chain dude!" I retorted but I had no intention of using it, no, this was all my fault and I would fix this. The Kraang didn't seem to be bothered by the huge force and it would only be a matter of time before they advanced on us, and with us being helpless there was no way we would win. With a glare I tucked one nun chuck in my belt and grapping the kusarigama chain.
With perfect accuracy I threw my nun chuck, imbedding the blade into the machine, giving it a firm tuck I released my arm that was holding me in place and ignoring the shouts of protest coming from my bros. I had to do this, even if it meant risking my own life. This was my fault after all. I hastily put the nun chuck in my belt again, holding onto the machine with my hands.
"The one known as Michelangelo may not damage the machine known as experiment K2.3 that was made by the ones known as Kraang" Came the immediate static voice and I panicky ducked when a laser beam shot past my head. Pain filled my body as the machine started tucking harder and before I knew what was happening my left arm got sucked into the portal. I cried out softly as numbness spread over my arm but I held on with my other limb.
The force was so strong that I couldn't even pull my arm back again, and with a sigh I knew there was no other way. Using all my power I wrapped my leg around the machine and dug into my belt for an explosive I secretly carried with me, despite the lecture Donnie gave me not to carry it. Taking a deep breath I let go, throwing the explosives onto the machine. A loud bang and my brothers crying out my name was the last thing I heard.
The portal closed itself but I was already inside, getting sucked away further and further. I was surrounded by pink, the images of my brothers fresh in my mind. When a final thought crosses my mind, before everything went black.
This time… this time they didn't have to pay.
TMNT
The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the horrible smell, a smell I knew a little too well. My beak wrinkled in disgust and I slowly opened my eyes, seeing that I really was laying in the sewers. But the weird thing was that I didn't even recognize these sewers, they were different, they weren't the sewers I knew. Either I was in another part of New York or…. I was sent to a whole other country.
I groaned slightly as I carefully sat up straight. My whole form was stiff and sore, like I just got through hours of training with Master Splinter. Immediately my face dropped… Master Splinter, my bros… they must be worrying. Either way, I was. I didn't know where I was, maybe even when I was and I had no idea if my bros were okay. Maybe I had caused a huge explosion, killing them in the progress.
Maybe they couldn't free themselves soon enough and the Kraang had captured them, killed them. I squeezed my eyes shut for a second, my arms trembling beneath me. No, I couldn't think like that, they were okay, I just had to get home. Problem was, where was home? Slowly I placed one foot on the ground, hauling myself up and using the wall to support myself.
Quickly checking myself over I came to the conclusion I didn't have any injuries, apart from the sore feeling. Both my nun chucks were still in my belt, along with the other things I always carried with me. I pulled out my t-phone but the moment I tried to start it, it exploded, smoke coming from the phone. I let out a surprised shriek as the heat touched my hand and I dropped it in surprise.
It didn't really hurt, it just surprised me for a second. I groaned slightly, seeing my t-phone breaking apart as it hit the ground, great, my only communication device, the only way to contact home was broken beyond repair. No way to contact my bros right now I stated dryly as I stared at the phone. I sighed slightly, kicking the phone to the corner of the sewer before leaving it behind, walking down the sewers to find a manhole cover.
A smile spread on my face when I found one and I immediately started to climb upwards, pushing the lid up and carefully climbing onto the surface. My smile however faded the moment I left the sewers as I didn't recognize anything. Everything was different. Swallowing down a lump I grabbed the nearest fire escape and used it to get to the rooftops.
I didn't even know what I was trying to find, but whatever it was, I didn't find it. I was met with something I didn't know, something I'd never seen and yet it was familiar. Though no matter how hard I thought about it, I could never figure out what was so familiar about this city. Testing my luck, I slowly shuffled towards the edge of the building, peeking over the edge.
I was met with equally strange looking humans, walking down the streets. Several stores were in this street. A red-haired woman walking into a shop called 'Second time around'. A young boy walking through the streets with his hands in his pockets, a cat crossing the street with a loud screech. Where am I?!
Eventually I decided it was too dangerous to be standing up here, the sun still shining brightly, so I jumped down into the alley again. I honestly didn't want to but eventually I lifted the lid of the manhole cover again and carefully climbed down, putting the lid in the rightful place. I simply let myself drop and looked through the tunnel with uncertainty.
I knew I probably had to move, but I couldn't muster the energy to do so. I had no idea which sewer I was in, or where I was. But I knew it had to be an American country because I could hear people speaking English, or I was in another American/English speaking country. But for now, there was nothing I could do. I should probably head out to find shelter, or some food but I had no energy left.
I sighed again and slid down the wall, pulling my knees up to my chest and placing my chin on top of them. I felt lost, honestly lost. Even the sewers weren't familiar anymore, and I didn't even know if my bros were alright. My phone was dead, and I had no idea where I was.
I was snapped out of my thoughts when a sudden figure stood in front of me. I let out a muffled yell and jumped up, grabbing a single nun chuck. The figure in front of me made no move to attack me however. With cautious movements I lowered my nun chuck, taking in the figure in front of me. He was partly in the shadows, but even from here I could see the outline of a shell, a mask on top of his face.
A turtle.
Slowly the turtle walked towards me but I was frozen in place. The turtle was taller than I was, way taller. And he was different. His eyes were completely white, and he had different wrappings than me and my bros had. there was a long purple bandana on his face, but the gap between his teeth wasn't there anymore. There were multiple scars on his body, and I swiftly looked up to his face, staring into the face of my older brother Donnie, who wasn't Donnie at the same time.
He was different, and if it wasn't for the bo-staff and the purple bandana, it would've been a normal mutant turtle that wasn't similar to me and my bros. Slowly the unfamiliar turtle leaned towards me, looking at me with a weird expression I couldn't quite place before opening his mouth.
"Do you want to be my friend?"

So that was the first chapter/prologue. What do you guys think? Any ideas where Mikey is? (There is a small hint somewhere in the chapter)
