Angel: Hello everybody! I'm back with Rise of the TMNT! I'm currently still working on the movie version of 2012, to those who are curious, and I am also planning on the release the remake of the first season of that series soon. So that's why you haven't seen any TMNT stuff from me besides this, of course XD As for the next chapter for THIS version, MAYBE I'll release the next episodes soon, and then update what I'm missing when the episodes premiere, like Donnie's Gifts.

And if there are still haters out there, just remember...this is not gonna change TMNT forever. There are other ways to enjoy the franchise if you're all like 'Oh, it's always Leo who's the leader' or 'Oh, it's all comedic.' So one TV show that's different is not gonna change the franchise, cause no. It HAS been proved that TMNT has different universes, like 1987 or 2003 or 2012. Or if you REALLY wanna get technical about this, Next Mutation is a thing...so yeah, this universe is slightly different, and that statement is canon. It's not that unbelievable that this universe has Raph as a leader if you're looking at it that way. Anyway, I've said my piece.

A slim girl with tan skin is being chased down by two thugs as she rides a red motorcycle. She has long dark brown hair that stops at her arms, which is in a high ponytail. Her ends are dyed blonde. Her outfit is a green Capri long-sleeved jacket, a white spaghetti strapped shirt with a pink heart in the middle, a pink ruffled skirt, and pink ankle boots. She also has green stockings and wears a dark red helmet over her face, the glass where the eyes should be gone. Instead, her eyes are covered by a pair of sunglasses, with black lenses and pink as the base. A mutant dog thing is sitting on her lap, which has orange fur, teal covering part of its ears and tail. There's also some red on its fur in various places. The little mutant has a green vial around his neck.

"Hey!" A man exclaims as she speeds past them.

"What the-"

She maneuvers around them, waving a hand. "Sorry about that!"

The mutant dog shakes his head, chittering at her driving. "Hey, you wanna live, stop hanging around me. But we both know that we have to stick together if we wanna make it through this," She glances down at him. "Alive."

Mutants. Ugh. To her, they were just another problem in the world. She never really liked them around her. But, if she wanted to shake 'em, she and this...thing would have to work together.

A dark skinned man and white man are wearing a blue and red track suit respectively. They both have dogs in their harnesses. The girl jumps over an awning, knocking some flags onto the ground. When the thugs reach them, they move carefully as possible so they won't step on them. They continue chasing after the two. The brunette looks behind her before she speeds past a delivery man and his customer.

"Whoa!"

"Ah!"

"Not cool, dudette!" The delivery man calls after her.

"I'll come back and pay for it!" The girl shouts back, the thugs crashing through them and the stand.

"Better watch where you're going, man!" The delivery man yells at them.

The girl turns sharply to the left before coming to a dead end. She places one foot on the ground, glancing at the only way out.

"This way."

The mutant dog whimpers before he curls up into a ball and teleports to where the entrance is along with the girl! The female looks down at him in shock.

"Oh, you're not so useless after all, are you?" She asks, placing a hand on her hip. The mutant dog chitters at her angrily and she holds up her hands in defense, closing her eyes.

"Fine, fine. I know we got off on the wrong start, but you're alright," she admits before her nose twitches, sneezing. "Even though I'm slightly allergic to you." She revs up her bike and takes off, the two chasers looking pretty determined to stop them.

On a building rooftop right next to a rooftop pool later that night, a business man is having a gathering. He looks very dangerous and wealthy. Several guards surround him before someone opens up the briefcase, revealing some high-end stuff as it shines brightly in a gold color. The man laughs to himself, four shadows watching him in the moonlight. All that can be seen are bandanas in red, purple, blue, and orange. They jump off the rooftop, flying down right in front of a billboard. The purple one spins his high-tech bo staff, the end of it turning into a claw. He fires it at the building right across from them, the wire looming over where the festivities are.

"Yellow Submarine, are we clear?" The red shadow asks into a walkie-talkie.

"Affirmative, Red Rover," a female voice tells him, who doesn't sound like the girl who was being chased earlier that day.

"Copy. Alright boys, it's go time."

The four hook their harnesses to the zipline, which is told apart by their respective colors. They zoom to the building as the man looks at his riches and the red one holds up a hand to signal their stop.

Until they pass right over him.

Their true objective was the pool right next to the building and the red shadow points down. They jump down one by one.

They're revealed to be turtles as the first one is a lean mutant red-eared turtle with lime green skin, a golden mustard-yellow plastron, and a blue-green carapace with a bright teal design. He has black eyes, red markings over his eyes and the sides of his face, yellow marks on his upper arms and thighs, three fingers on each hand and two toes on each foot. He wears a blue face mask over his eyes (with long tails down to his middle back), navy blue fingerless gloves (with blue trim) that extend nearly to his elbows and matching toeless socks that rise to mid-calf. He also wears a blue belt and strap over his right shoulder, with blue pouches on the belt and a Turtle emblem on the strap. "Cow!"

The second one has teal green skin, yellow-orange circles painted on his shoulders and thighs, a bright yellow plastron with neon pink and blue lightning bolts painted on it, and a navy teal carapace with yellow-orange designs. He has black eyes, a small gap on the right side of his upper jaw, three fingers on each hand and two toes on each foot. He wears an orange mask over his eyes (with short mask tails), orange wristbands and color-matching socks and orange knee pads with faces drawn on them (dead face on the right and smiley face on the left). He also wears a light brown belt around his chest and strap over his right shoulder, as well as a Turtle emblem over his heart. "A!"

The third one is a mutant soft-shell turtle with jade green skin (with purple pixel designs painted on his upper arms and thighs), a light brown plastron and dark brown carapace. He also has a large head (to compliment his intelligence), thick black eyebrows, black eyes, three fingers and two toes on each foot. He wears a purple mask that pulls over the top of his head (with short square-cut mask tails), silver convertible goggles with a red and blue lens and a purple battle shell that fits over his real shell. He also wears purple fingerless gloves with matching socks on his feet, a silver tech-gauntlet with a blue touchscreen, purple elbow and knee pads, black shorts, and a purple belt with color-matching pouches and Turtle emblem. He also has a tech bo. "Bun."

The last turtle is large and muscular, with bright green skin, a yellow-orange plastron with a jagged top edge and a spiked dark green carapace. He also has small spikes protruding from his shoulders, black eyes, a small sharp tooth hanging from his upper right jaw, three fingers on each hand and two toes on each foot. He wears a red mask that covers the top of his head (with long jagged mask tails about the same length as Leo's), red elbow pads with a large spike at the joint, off-white bandages around his wrists, hands and ankles, and small bandages on his right side of his plastron and left forearm. He also wears red shorts and a red belt with a Turtle emblem. "Ga!"

"Cannonball!" They do signature poses as they crash into the pool, making a huge splash.

"Whoo!" A black teenage girl with black eyes, thick eyelashes and curly brunette hair with bangs and two high ponytails. She often wears a pair of red cat-eye glasses with yellow lenses. She wears a black choker around her neck, a long yellow t-shirt and a green sweatshirt with quarter sleeves, pale green trim and stripes, single button, and a "S" like logo over her heart and backside of the sweatshirt. She also wears dark navy blue leggings and yellow sneakers. She ultimately gets splashed as she holds her phone, but she doesn't seem to care. "Woo woo!"

The four turtles dance in the now empty pool.

"Ha, you must be this rad to ride that ride," Mikey, the artist and youngest, gestures to himself.

"Well, based on our velocity and entry angle," Donnie, the smartest and the 'tech turtle,' walks up to him while typing on his wrist computer. "I concur. We rad."

"You guys crushed it!" April O'Neil, their only human friend, cheers. "Give me five! Or three!" The turtles jump out of the pool, high threeing her.

"Couldn't have done it without you, April," Raph, the oldest and the leader, smiles down at her. "Our girl with the plan."

April pats her hair at the praise. Leo, the rebel and quick-witted turtle, snatches a pair of keys from her. "And keys to the roof," He waves them in the air and she snatches them. He sticks his tongue out at her.

"Let's go bungee dunk on the hoops at Rucker Park," Mikey places his arms around April and Raph.

"Game on! Just one thing first," she places down two yellow signs. "Wet floor, and dry pool." She places her hands on her hips, the other turtles looking smug. "Our work is done here." She turns to Donnie. "Donnie, can I hitch a ride?"

"No probbles," he agrees and she leaps on his back. Part of his shell turns into a makeshift bike and she sits on him. Donnie lifts into the air and takes off.

"Uh huh, uh huh!"

The other turtles jump off, following after them. As Raph is jumping, however, he sees a girl on a bike with the mutant dog as she comes to a stop. He looks scared as she puts him down. Raph's eyes grow soft before his eyes sparkle at the bike. He crashes into the building he was hoping to land on, pulling himself up.

"Hey! Hey guys, hold up," he points down at the two. "Little guy looks lost. But that is one sweet ride!"

Leo turns around and sparkles form, though it's not sure if he's looking at the girl or the bike. Probably both.

The girl gets off her ride and lifts up her helmet, revealing her face. Her eyes are emerald green and her bangs are also blonde along with the ends of her hair, her bangs a curly fringe at the right side of her face. Her face is heart shaped.

"So...beautiful..." Leo stares with sparkles in his eyes.

Raph jumps down and lands behind the two, the girl backing up slightly. "Aww. Hey, little guy. What you doing here?" He makes kissy noises at the mutant, the girl rolling her eyes at him. The turtles notice the girl staring at them and they stare back, blinking. She blinks too and Raph whispers.

"Plan H, guys." He coughs, placing his hands behind his back. "Can ya give us directions to the local science fiction con-"

"If this is your 'plan H,' it's not going very well for you, is it?" She interrupts in a snarky way. They look at her in shock that she was able to tell they're real.

"So, uh," Leo clears his throat, leaning on her shoulder. "Come around here often?" He raises his eyebrows in a teasing way. Donnie examines her bike in awe.

"You use that on all the girls?" The girl raises an eyebrow sarcastically, crossing her arms.

"Nope. You're the first, my lady," He holds her hand, kissing it. "The name's Leo, but you can call me Leon," he winks at her. She pulls her hand away.

"I'd rather call you wonder turtle then to give you the satisfaction," She points at him with a smirk.

"So...you have a name or..." Donnie asks expectantly. They jump down there, start touching her and her things, and they wanted a name?

"I think I'll pull a me and not tell you since you're, you know, mutants," she growls slightly, the turtles confused. They couldn't tell if she was naturally like this in her personality or she really did dislike mutants. "Mutants are the last thing I wanna talk to right now, especially since someone's after this little...thing," she points down to the mutant dog. She just wanted to be alone, but nooo, they had to appear out of nowhere and try to talk to the thing.

"Hey, what did we do to you, chica?" Mikey asks in a hurt tone and she doesn't answer.

"Come to big Raphie," Raph continues and his friend and brothers laugh at him. "What? Pets love me, alright? I am at one with the animals." The dog scratches up his face, to the shock of the others before he lands in April's arms, licking her face.

"Pets don't seem to like either of us, huh?" the girl stifles a laugh at Raph and he glances at her, noticing her easing up a bit. Doesn't mean she liked them, though.

"Aww. I didn't get this drenched from the cannonball," April cuddles it, already growing closer to it by the second.

"It looks so weird. What is it?" Mikey whispers to his two brothers.

"You seem to know it. What's the deal, girlie?" Raph points to the girl.

"If you must know, my name's Amy. As for the little guy, I don't know what it is," Amy shrugs.

"Nice to meet you, ma cherry," Leo bows, trying to be friendly.

"It's ma cherie," Donnie whispers to correct him before bending down eye level to the thing. "Maybe it's some kind of nuclear St Bernard," He eyes the little vial.

They hear an angry scoff and turn around to see the two thugs that were after Amy and the mutant.

"Ooh! More humans!" Raph exclaims, the turtles hiding behind April. "Initiate plan H." They make their teeth buck-toothed, like nerds.

"Um, excuse me, sirs," Leo makes his voice nasally. "Can you direct us to the local science fiction convention that we are currently dressed for?"

"Is wonder turtle here for real?" Amy whispers to April, who just smiles nervously.

"Just go with it, girl," she whispers back.

"Snazzy turtle outfits, huh?" Mikey asks, touching something on his shell.

"We are just typical, normal humans who got lost in the middle of our normal, everyday human lives," Donnie says weirdly, pumping a fist. "Nailed it."

"Give to me creature," They all gasp as one of them speaks, not fazed at all by the ruse. Amy stands near April. "How you say...pretty please? Or I'll destroy the both of you."

"Really?" Raph narrows his eyes, pointing a finger at them. "You think you're gonna step to our friend and our...acquaintance? Unwilling female?" He thinks about it as Amy crosses her eyes, raising an eyebrow at him. "What's the word for someone who doesn't like us, but is on our side? Whatever. Rookie mistake, hoss!" He punches his fists as a tthreat.

"And if you step to my friends and this girl for stepping to you...for st-stepping to us? You're gonna have to st-step to us. Mmkay?" April tries to look threatening, but gets confused in the middle of it.

"You do not intimidate us, with or without your fake nerd voices," the blue jacket thug tells them.

"That was actually my real voice," Donnie points out, arms crossed.

"Well, you better get intimidated, 'cause we're like nothing you've ever seen," Raph declares.

"What's wrong with my voice?" Donnie asks, wanting to know, but no one answers him. Amy slides in front of them.

"Move aside, rookies," she glares at the thugs, perplexing the others. The last thing she needed was them getting in her way.

"But...aren't you a girl in danger? Aren't they...chasing you?" Mikey asks in confusion. Oh, so they're the heroic type. Well, she wasn't gonna give them a chance.

"I'm a girl," Amy turns to them slightly. "I'm in danger. I can handle these two jokers." She fake smiles, wiggling her fingers at them. "So run along and have fun, mutants."

The two suddenly glow purple, a purple aura surrounding them. They give a sound of shock and awe, but Amy doesn't seem fazed by it at all.

"Jumping Jack Flash!" Raph exclaims and they just stare at them as they slowly transform, along with their dogs. The dogs are now mutants and the thugs look almost like knights. Amy's nose twitches again before she lets out a small sneeze.

"Allergic much?" Donnie asks her and she gives him a look.

"So..." Leo places his hands behind his back. "You guys from Jersey?"

"Really, Leo?" Mikey deadpans, Donnie and Amy giving him looks in disbelief.

"What? I can't make a joke in the middle of the craziest thing ever? That's how I cope. For example," He puts a fist to his mouth as he clears his throat, placing a hand on his plastron. "M'lady, have I ever told you that ever since meeting you, you turn our world upside down?"

"No, but don't push your luck, wonder turtle," She retorts playfully. Raph spins his sais in his hands.

"Whatever. This is our chance to finally use these babies!" Mikey has his nunchucks, Leo has double katana, and Donnie keeps his tech bo. "Weapons ahoy!"

Donnie breaks out of his pose. "We agreed to reserve 'ahoy' for ship-based adventures, pal, please."

"Let us handle this, sweetheart," Leo pushes Amy away.

" 'Sweetheart?' " Amy asks him in slight anger, the two mutants attacking.

"Guys, I got this," Donnie spins his tech bo, two rockets appearing on both sides. They activate and he spins it before he throws it. "Fibonacci!" It spins in a circle before it shorts out, flying out of control.

Amy steps up to him, crossing her arms. "Is it supposed to do that?" She points to the bo.

"Ah no, no-oh, no, no, that's so bad," Donnie freaks out. The dog mutant suddenly teleports out of April's arms.

"Dog thingy!"

It appears in the sky and grabs Donnie's bo in its mouth, teleporting above him and giving him his stick back.

"Hey, it plays fetch," it teleports back into April's arms. "And teleports, which is-" He finally lets it sink in. "Oh my gosh, it teleports! Did you know about this?" Donnie turns to Amy, who smiles sheepishly. One of the mutant knights points his sword at Donnie, firing a wave of energy, making him crash into a pile of concrete bricks. Amy glances at him, not at all impressed.

Is this really how they fight?

"Donnie!" April exclaims in worry.

"Pro tip," Donnie holds up a finger. "The inexplicable glowy wave, extraordinarily painful." He lets his hand drop and April gasps as she turns to watch the fight.

"Alright, Mikey," Raph turns to his little brother. "You take the one that looks like a broken toaster. I'll take the guy that looks like a fancy trash can." A sword appears right in front of them, scaring them a little.

"They look exactly the same!" Mikey points out before they get chased by the mutant dogs. "And they don't look like either of those things!"

Amy shakes her head at them, that same scowl still on her face. This...is so lame.

Leo looks at his brothers. "Hey, where are you going?" He sees Amy and smirks. "Oh don't worry princess, Leon will wipe that scowl off your face with his mad skills."

"Oh, there won't be much to awe over if that's the case," Amy waves it off. "So I'll just watch these 'mad' skills you speak of."

He hears a snarl and turns around to the other thug-turned-mutant. "Ya had to ruin cannonball day," Leo looks a little dismayed before winking at Amy. He dashes over to and spins, swinging his swords. He opens one eye to see the blades gone. He sweats as the blades...are in the dog's mouth. The dog mutant bites them in half.

"My swords!"

"Ha!" Amy points to him, laughing. "You're right, that did wipe the scowl off my face."

"I think he's trying to impress you," April wiggles her eyebrows.

"It takes a lot to impress me, and that," Amy points forward, "was anything but impressive." He's got skills...I'll give him that. That move was pretty good...

Leo throws whatever was left of his sword at the thug. He slams his sword down, which Leo leaps over." I don't need weapons to beat you!" He ducks over a swing. "I got my rad skills!" He uses the truck to flip in the air...and then lands on his head.

"Ooh," Amy cringes slightly. "That had to hurt...along with your pride." At least he knows how to protect himself to an extent...wait, why am I still thinking about him? He's just a mutant.

Raph is pushed against the scaffolding and coughs from the slight smoke. Mikey lands near him. "Mikey, ninja mode!" They both back away into the shadows and the mutant sees them holding onto the pipes. Raph moves to make himself hidden, but it doesn't really work. "Okay, uh, there's a chance he can still see us." The purple ray is fired at them and they jump out of the way. "Okay, plan double B!"

"Yeah!" Mikey cheers, his head, arms, and legs going into his shell. Raph throws him towards the mutant.

"Brother ball!"

The mutant knight catches Mikey immediately and Mikey pulls out his nunchucks. He spins them rapidly, but he hits himself instead of the mutant multiple times. "Take that!"

He's left with multiple bruises on his face. "Had enough yet?" The mutant puts him in a bubble and simply moves his arm, causing Mikey to be thrown away. He crushes the wood nunchucks into pieces.

"Hey!, why don't you pick on someone my size?" He spins his sais and the knight snaps his fingers, causing his dog mutant to chase after him. Raph screams and runs around in a circle before the dog mutant grabs his head by the mouth. It slams him back and forth before he's finally thrown into the ground. He looks up and attempts to grab his sai, only to have them destroyed by the purple rays. He gasps in shock and looks up at the knight. He swings them into the pile of his brothers. Donnie looks up nervously at the two.

"Hey!" A brick is thrown at them, which breaks into pieces. They look to see April and Amy. "Trash can and toaster boy!"

"Even though I still don't like 'em, lay off!" Amy yells, as she sort of pitied them.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll leave my friends..." One of their hands grows purple, trapping the dog thingy into a sphere. "Alone. What the?" April holds it as he tries to teleport out, but can't. The sphere starts to be pulled towards the two.

"No! No!" April shouts as she tries to get it back. Amy moves behind her and pulls her jacket, but it doesn't work. When the dog thingy is grabbed, they electrocute the two girls, knocking them back.

"I have the agent, and the vial," He looks at the green liquid inside the dog mutant's vial. His hand glows and a symbol appears on the wall. It kind of looked like an M. A strange portal opens up, the turtles seeing it.

"Whoa!"

Suddenly, they hear a bell and turn to see the same delivery man from before. "Sweet shortcut." He gasps as he doesn't recognize it. "Wait. This is not a shortcut!" He rides into the portal and immediately falls down a hole.

"Ah, good to know," Mikey comments.

The dog mutant whimpers before it's taken away.

"The dog thingy!" They run after it and the girls jump in.

"April, Amy, no!" Raph jumps forward to catch them, but crashes into the wall instead. Leo and Donnie give worried looks. "Amy, April!"Raph sits up with a bruise on his head. Just because she doesn't like them doesn't mean they couldn't worry about her safety.

"I think they're okay, cause there's no, like, Amy and April bits on the ground," Leo looks around. The three look behind the wall.

"Hey girls, are your bits on the other side of the wall?" Raph asks and doesn't get an answer. "How do we get them out of there?"

"And, equally important, where is 'there?' " Donnie wonders as Mikey just stares at the symbol on the wall. He recognizes it as he snaps his fingers.

"Oh, hey! I've seen this before!" His brothers join him as they stare at it. "In fact, we all have."

The exact same symbol is on a watch device on a shelf. It also has various things like nekos, pots, and pans. "In Splinter's do not touch cabinet."

They all stare at it as Splinter is watching TV. He is a short and plump mutant rat with grey fur, as well as white fur in his ears, white hair with a section tied into a top bun, white bushy eyebrows and a goatee to compliment. He has golden yellow eyes, a red-pink nose, black whiskers on his cheeks, his arms and legs are pink (with his hands having five fingers instead of the usual four) and a small tear on his right ear. Splinter wears a black hair tie to hold up his white top bun and a brown kimono with orange trim and red lotus flowers printed on the kimono.

"You're right. It's just like the symbol those creeps have," Raph says in realization.

"Should we just ask him for it?" Mikey questions, acting as if he was gonna give it to them.

"And what do we say if he asks why we want it?" Leo points out. "That we need it to go after our best friend and that incredibly hot girl," his brothers give him a teasing look when he whispers that, "Who disappeared into a wall after our priceless weapons were destroyed by mystical jogger guys?" Raph places a hand on his head, shushing him.

"Okay, here's the plan," He whispers, "We gotta get Splinter out of the room."

He's watching a commercial in Japanese. The four turtles stand in front of him, bowing. Raph opens an eye.

"Hey Pop. Any chance we could have the living room tonight?" He puts on a smile. Splinter is a short gerbil with white hair and looks like he's gained a few pounds. He sips a carton of milk, a few crumbs on his robe. He opens an eye before laughing and coughing.

"And I thought purple was the funny one!" He exclaims, Donnie looking at his brothers.

"I told you guys I was the funniest." He turns back to Splinter, holding a few wires. "What if I hooked it up so that you could watch in bed, huh? Wouldn't that be even lazier?" Mikey gestures to him like a TV show host and Raph fluffs a pillow.

"No! My butt is asleep, just how I like it," He rubs his behind. "Now, leave me be! They're about to break out the scorpions!"

They turn around to see several scorpions and Splinter laughs at it, the turtles backing away to behind the recliner chair.

"Plan one didn't work," Raph has his fist to his chin in thought. "New plan. Alright, listen up," He starts drawing a plan with paper and crayons. "We need ten chickens, a gallon of rubber cement, and-"

"Leon's got it," Leo holds up the watch in his hand.

"How'd you get it?" Raph wonders.

"You know he always passes out after milk and cake," Leo reminds them, gesturing a thumb to the chair. They look down at their master to see him definitely asleep.

They've returned to the construction site, where Raph stands in front of the wall.

"A few hours ago, I would've called this foolish and impossible. Now I just call it foolish," Donnie states to his two brothers.

"Say what you want, Donnie. Raph'll pull it off, cause if he doesn't, we'll lose our best friend forever," Mikey points out, Raph starting to look doubtful. "And Amy too! Even though she hates us."

Raph thinks to himself as two lives hang in the balance.

"Mikey, don't say that," Leo warns, "You know he chokes under pressure."

Raph starts to freak out as his eyes widen. "Leo, he's even more self-conscious when you talk about it," Donnie tells him as the oldest starts to sweat. "And then you can smell his fear."

"Stop talking about my fear stink!" Raph turns to them and they stare. He holds out the watch to the wall, but it doesn't do anything. He narrows his eyes and holds it out again, struggling to make something happen. He punches the wall and still nothing. His brothers are starting to get impatient, glancing at each other. Raph pants before throwing the device. "Stupid wall!" It ricochets back and hits him in the face, Mikey catching it.

"How about we let the artist of the crew take a poke at it?"

"I say give him a shot. I mean, he can't do any worse, respectfully," Leo agrees, nodding his head.

"Hey," Raph holds up a finger in protest before letting it drop. Mikey concentrates and the symbol on the watch glows. Mikey looks in shock before he draws the symbol exactly how he saw it. The portal opens up.

"You beautiful fools! It worked!" Donnie says in triumph.

"All I had to do was believe in myself," Raph stands up, looming over his brothers.

"Okay," Leo chuckles at the thought he actually did anything. "Uh, what do we do now?"

Raph glances at them before he jumps right in. "Cannonball"

"Cannonball!" The others shout, following after him. They're jerked around in a tunnel before Raph lands first. The only one who doesn't crash is Leo.

"Land safely," He tries to steady himself before he gasps at a thriving city of mutants. "Whoa!"

"I can smell Raph's amazement stink," Donnie murmurs, as they haven't seen anything like it before. It looked so...different from their city with the mutants floating or walking around and not even noticing them. If they did, they probably wouldn't care.

"What?"

"Whoa."

"This is crazy."

"Exactly what I expected."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Psst!" They hear a familiar voice and turn around to see one of the girls. "Hey, guys, over here."

"April!" Mikey's eyes shine in relief and they look happy to see her. She runs up to him and hug her and Raph hugs all of them.

"Donnie, where are we?" Raph wonders, looking around.

"According to my calculations, we are in a tertiary meta-verse," Donnie looks at his wrist computer.

"Actually, I've been exploring, and we're in a mystic hidden city deep under New York!" April explains, and she's right as they look up at a sewer grate that shows their city.

"That was my second guess," Donnie comments.

"So where's the dog thingy and princess?" Leo wonders.

"They're in there," April looks at a building right in front of her. When they get inside, they see a lair with various devices.

"Oh, look at the color scheme."

"Oh, I'd love to do my lab in this style," Donnie looks around in awe.

"Hey, there's the little guy," Raph says as they're looking over the lair. There are three glowing pods. The first one has the dog thingy, the second Amy, and the third one holds the delivery man. "Amy and the delivery guy too!"

The dog mutant is trying to teleport out to no avail. Amy has her arms crossed as her back faces the front of the pod. She leans against it.

"We gotta help them out!" Raph stands up, but April stops him.

"Someone's coming!" The door opens in front of the pods and the dog thingy immediately stops trying to escape. The tall mutant in front of them has turquoise skin with purple hair, pale orange eyes with purple sclera, two horns on the side of his head, and two claws on each foot. Amy doesn't turn around at his presence.

"If you're the guy who keeps calling about the calamari, fine," the delivery guy starts, "It's pig butts! But the crab cakes are real."

Amy rolls her eyes. "And to think I bumped into you to know that."

"I assure you, I have no interest in your...petty cakes of crab," he says, his two minions on his shoulders getting off and frightening the delivery boy.

"But we would love to hear more about those pig butts," one of them replies, the other one laughing as the delivery boy recoils back in shock and fear.

He then sees Amy, who hasn't turned around. "Amelia. How is your mother?"

"Getting away from you, Baron," she replies in a snarky way.

"Oh, but we both know that's not true, is it?" He leans forward towards her pod. "Because she wouldn't even remember me. And she'll never remember her own daughter."

"You don't know jack," Amy narrows her eyes, the turtles turning to each other in confusion.

"What does he mean by that?" Mikey asks in confusion. " 'Never remembering her own daughter?' "

He bends down to the dog thingy's cell, who runs away. He phases his hand through the prison. "So nice of you to return my vial," He steals the bottle from the dog thingy and walks up to the delivery man. "You're both about to be part of an experiment that will change the very nature of humanity."

"Alright!" The delivery boy cheers, the turtles and April glancing at each other at his enthusiasm. Amy looks at the boy in disbelief. He operates his machine and opens the vial, dumping it all into a slot. He looks at the ooze as it travels up to the top.

"This dude looks like trouble," April whispers.

"Yeah, and if I've learned anything from 'Jupiter Jim' movies," Raph eyes the machine. "Glowing green usually equals bad." The mosquitoes inside the machine drink from the liquid, which fills their bodies. The tall mutant takes one and the pod's vines trap the boy.

"So is this gonna hurt?"

"It will...if I'm doing it right," He lets the mosquito sting the boy and Amy glances to her right. A red mark is left on the boy's forehead.

"Hey, that wasn't so-" His eyes bug out as the mutagen starts to take effect. "Oh, ow. Okay, this part hurts." His arms extend further and so does his neck. "This part hurts." Amy looks away, cringing. "Ah, that hurts!"

The five could only look in horror. "What's happening to him?" Raph asks.

"That is messed up," April cringes and he's turned into a mutant fish that has no fingers at all. He flings his body around, the six cringing at his appearance.

"Yeah, jury's in. That was imitation crab," Donnie confirms, the others glaring at him.

"I just got used to acne. Now this?" The fish mutant screams and runs off into the hidden city.

"Should we go after him, boss?" One of the minions asks.

"The mutation worked, just like it did all those years ago," The tall mutant murmurs to himself, Amy glancing at an eye at him in confusion.

"Mutation?" Raph wonders, "Just like us? Could we be-"

"Part imitation crab?" Mikey interrupts, to Leo and April's disbelief and Raph's embarrassment. Donnie just laughs before raising an eyebrow.

"You are not kidding, are you?"

"I'll deal with you two next," he walks past the dog thingy and Amy, who huffs and turns back around.

"Not like you haven't done enough already to my family," she mutters under her breath.

"We can't let that sheep-horned weirdo do anything to that dog and Amy!" April declares.

"We have to save her," Leo narrows his eyes in determination, which results in everyone else giving him looks. "Oh, and the dog thingy too. But except for Donnie, we're out of weapons."

"Note to you: Next time, make your weapons out of high-grade titanium," Donnie points out.

"Guys!" Raph stops the conversation, standing up. "Who needs weapons? We're ninjas! Leo's got his mad skills, nobody flips better than Mikey, Donnie's got that big old brain, and I got, uh-" April bumps into him.

"A friend who knows where there's a room full of weapons!" She points up in the air with a golf club that she somehow got just now.

"Oh thank goodness, we were so dead," Leo whispers in relief to his two brothers.

April pulls a lever and a hatch opens up. They fall down a tunnel and land in a room, April landing safely. They look in awe at the room.

"It's like magic and science had a baby!" Donnie exclaims in amazement. Leo takes two swords that are very similar to the ones he lost earlier that night. Which is weird, but no one questions it.

"Oh yeah!"

"These'll do," Mikey spins a pair of nunchucks, and again, no one questions why the mutant has weapons like theirs.

"Hey, yo, guys," Raph calls out with a smile. "How about we take the glowy ones," He points to five glowing weapons that are only told apart by their color. It was as if those weapons were...made for them. Leo and Mikey's eyes shine and they run up to the display.

"Whoa, dibs on the sword!" Leo jumps up and grabs the odachi sword. "Oh boy!"

Mikey takes the kusari-fundo. "Hot soup!"

"Boom!" Raph has the tonfas. The purple and pink colored weapons are the only ones that aren't being used. The purple one has an axe blade along with a mace on the bottom. The pink one is a byakko, a Japanese spear with two horns sticking out from the blade.

"What about you, Donnie?" April holds out the axe. "Don't you want a glowy weapon?"

"No, I'm good," Donnie tells her, caressing his creation. "I'll never let you go..." He snatches a purple crystal. "This looks interesting, though."

"Might as well take this one for my lady," Leo snatches the byakko. "Who knows, she might actually like it...out of anything else she's seen. Oh, yeah!" He holds his sword in the air as it glints.

"Let's go save Amy and that dog thingy!" Raph declares.

The minions are teasing the dog thingy and Amy. One of them pokes a stick at the dog mutant while the other messes with Amy's curly ends. She smacks him away without even looking.

"Finally, after all these years, I can continue my work," he looks at an oozesquito before he hears something. He looks up to see the turtles and April landing on each other. The dog mutant looks happy to see them while Amy doesn't look at them at all.

"What?"

"Alright," They separate to take on poses. "You incredibly unusually buff bookworm, give us the little guy and Amy, and you'll walk out of here with your horns still attached," Raph threatens.

"Shouldn't we also stop him from creating crab-men?" Leo points out.

"Good note. Okay, give us Amy and the little guy, stop creating crab-men-"

"Imitation crab-men," Donnie corrects him and April gives an exasperated sigh. Amy looks like she doesn't want or need to be saved.

"Okay, good note. Stop imitating crab-men."

"And a ride home, and a limo with a hot tub and pizza!" Mikey lists and while they're talking, he's just staring at them, sparkles in his eyes.

"You're...beautiful," He gets tears in his eyes.

"Raph, why don't you take it from the top again?" Leo suggests as he sits there, April looking bored.

"Here goes. First, you apologize to Amy and the dog thingy-"

April's had enough as she jumps into action. "Let's do this! April...O'Neil!"

The other turtles shout in panic. "Oh my gosh. She just ran in."

April lands on the pods, trying to break the vines with her teeth. The minions grab her and lift her in the air. She's left struggling with them while the mutant pulls out a purple crystal and throws it, causing purple vines to form. The four turtles jump on, sliding or running down it.

"I hate this! I hate this!" Leo stumbles to run, but ultimately hangs on. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

The mutant throws three purple orbs and a large mutant forms from the ground. It has a ruby eye.

"Whoa!"

"Dudes!"

"Seriously?"

"Ah, it looked at me!" The giant mutant grabs the vines and pulls them out, causing them to fly in the air. The mutant roars at them while April continues fighting the minions not too far away.

"Capture those specimens!" The tall mutant points at them.

"Cowabunga!" Raph shouts as they step into action. Leo stands up and grabs his sword, running forward with his brothers. The mutant punches the ground and they dodge them. Leo slices a leg off, causing the mutant to kneel.

"Ha! How was that for impressive, my pink-a-boo?" Leo looks towards the pod. Amy rolls her eyes, but smiles a little at his move. Leo throws the spear towards Amy, which lands on the pod. Amy looks up at it. The mutant roars and lifts his fist, pulling out concrete from the ground. Raph and Mikey run towards him, jumping onto the rocks. Mikey spins his weapon, catching Raph and throwing him towards the mutant.

"Hot soup!" He crashes right into the mutant, who punches him into the ground. Donnie lands, his bike forming on his shell. He flies into the air and spins his staff, which transforms into the rockets again. They get out of control again just like last time.

"No, no, no," It flies right out of his hands. "No, no, no, no. Look out, guys!"

It passes by the others before crashing onto the mutant's face. It spins around, taking the mutant with it and causing a crash. Amy hears something and covers herself as the rockets break through her cage.

"Nailed it!" Donnie gets his bo staff back, taking a selfie.

"Accidentally impressive," the mutant eyes them. "With a little bit of training, you could be as formidable as I'd hoped."

Leo coughs from the smoke, Mikey and Raph looking exhausted. Donnie is doing something on his phone. Probably looking at his selfie.

"It's okay," April calls out as she hasn't managed to get rid of the minions yet. "I got this!"

Leo clears his throat, standing up. "Okay, well, great, and since you're surrendering."

He laughs at the thought. "Baron Draxum does not surrender."

"Okay, well, when he gets here, we'll deal with him. Oh, ho, ho, I see. You're doing that whole 'sinister talking in the third person' thing," Leo realizes, Amy coughing as she steps up to them. "Oh, you finally joined the party!"

Raph flips out of his stupor. "Only Raph can use the third person! Alright guys, time to put our training to use," He leaps into action.

"What training? You guys have been training?" Leo wonders as the others jump up. Baron Draxum makes his arms larger and purple. They attack with their weapons, but he maneuvers through all of their attacks.

"Cowabunga!" Mikey slams the end of his weapon onto Baron's head. He slams down his fists, causing a crash that knocks them away.

"And that's why Baron Draxum-" One of the minions lands on his head.

"I'm sorry, boss," He falls onto the ground. April lands on him, attacking him and his friend. She looks up at the turtles and Amy, giving them a thumbs up. They return them eagerly. Baron thrusts something at April, causing her to get trapped in a cocoon.

"April!" Raph exclaims.

"You did not just do that to our friend!" Mikey declares, throwing his weapon and it flies past Baron. He looks behind him and Mikey's weapon starts to turn into fire. "Whoa," everyone else looks at him with their mouths wide open. "Magic weaPON!" He gets flown around uncontrollably, flying around the source of Baron's machine. It starts to spark and one of them hits Amy, causing her to be slightly electrocuted. Her eyes widen as her hair and clothes are covered in soot.

"Whoa, I don't like brunettes well done," Leo glances at her. "Or maybe I do."

She just blinks, trying to process what just happened. Baron jumps into the air and Mikey lands on the ground, turning to the others.

"Mikey that was awesome!" Raph exclaims, the others with sparkles in their eyes. "How'd you do that?"

"I don't know, man." He spins around to demonstrate. "I was just swinging my weapon, like this, and all of a sudden." It fires up again like last time. "Just like thaaaaaat!" He's whisked away once more.

"Let me try. Magic weapon, magic weapon, magic weapon, magic weapon-" His tonfas spark and he smiles. "Aw yeah! Magic weapon!" There's suddenly an explosion and it knocks him into the wall. "Mine works too."

"Can't wait to find out what mine does!" Leo shouts as he dashes forward, his sword glowing and sparking. Baron prepares himself as Leo swings, but nothing happens as only a bit of electricity appears on Baron's arms. Leo sweats nervously, as that wasn't his intention. Suddenly, a portal opens up underneath him. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" He scrambles around before he disappears, reappearing in a portal above. He falls through it in a seemingly infinite loop.

"Get. Me. Off. this. Ride!" He shouts, Amy snickering at him. She and Donnie appear next to Baron.

"That's why I like fighting the old-fashioned way: with impossibly futuristic high-tech weaponry," Donnie and Amy face him head on. They seem to be doing well, better than the others. Donnie's bo turns into a giant fist while Amy's byakko turns into a wrist launcher and attaches to her arm. Unlike the other three turtles, she doesn't seem fazed by it at all. It's as if she's familiar with this type of weapon. Baron launches forward, but Donnie and Amy knock him back with their respective blasts.

"Just like I planned it!" The two jump into the air.

"Look out!" Mikey warns before he bumps into them. Donnie gets caught into Mikey's string while Amy rolls onto the ground. Baron rubs his chin as he stands up.

"You fight like untrained buffoons, but under me, you could become true warriors," He traps them like he did with April. Mikey and Donnie are stuck together due to Mikey's weapon. Mikey snuggles Donnie on the cheek.

"We don't spend enough quality time together." He makes kissy noises.

"Oh, please not now, Mikey."

"How are we gonna save the dog thingy now?" April asks.

"Donnie's on it," He manages to slip on his goggles on, but the machine starts to overheat. "Wait a second!"

"Turtles, Amelia, why are you trying to stop my plans? We are all in this together!" Baron says it as if he knows them.

"Ah, hey, I don't know if this is part of your plan, but the lab's about to explode," Donnie points out and they all freak out as the core blows up.

"Aw nuts." A large rock lands on Baron and all of the oozesquitoes get out. A pipe lands on the dog thingy's cage, setting him free. He teleports onto April's lap.

"Little guy! Can you do your thing and get us out of here?" April asks him and he chitters, teleporting them out of there. They appear right in front of a wall and Amy hops onto her motorcycle. Mikey draws the symbol as quickly as he can, allowing the portal to be open. Amy drives right into the portal, dragging the others with her before the whole lair explodes. They crash right outside the door, Amy riding up in front of them. She looks down at them.

"You okay? You know, as okay as you'll ever be?" Splinter's device slides to the ground...and then breaks.

"Oh no! Splinter's doohickey!" Mikey exclaims in horror.

"Man," April stands up before the dog mutant lands in her hands. "You okay, boy? Or girl?" She can't really tell the gender. "You sure were good through all that mayhem. Hey, Mayhem! That's a cute name."

"We just defeated a boss villain. We're heroes! We deserve a name like...Mad Dogs," They all stand in a heroic pose, looking up towards the sky. Amy looks around in confusion, wondering what they were looking at.

"Mad Dogs?" Leo asks, breaking out his pose. "You don't think something like Mutant Ninja Turtle Teens or...I don't know. We'll keep brainstorming."

"So...what are we gonna do about Ms. Grumpy here?" Mikey whispers, jerking a thumb at Amy.

"I heard that," She calls out as she gets off her bike. Amy walks up to them, crossing her arms. "Okay, maybe you guys aren't so bad after all. You did save my life and...maybe we could start over." She holds out a reluctant hand.

Leo shakes it first. "You've chosen the turtle express, which comes with a free delivery of my awesome charm. Thank you for your trust! Leo, but like I said before-"

"Yeah, I'm not calling you Leon. I still like wonder turtle," Amy interrupts his speech.

"Mikey's the name, and being the artist is my game," Mikey places an arm around her.

"Donnie at your service, and we're glad you don't hate us anymore," Donnie states, shaking her hand.

"Well, I still hate mutants in general, but you guys are okay," Amy shrugs and Raph claps her on the back.

"Welcome to the team! I'm Raphael," He jerks a thumb to himself.

"Oh, great..." Amy mutters in pain, rubbing her back.

"And I'm April O'Neil!" April shakes her hand. "The girl with the plan."

"Name's Amy Smith. Don't wear it out," Amy pats the ends of her hair.

"First things first on our new friendship!" Mikey exclaims, pointing to her byakko. "You gotta show us how to use our weapons!"

"A-And let me upgrade this bike!" Donnie touches her motorcycle. "It would be a waste NOT to do anything with it!"

"And how about you let me hang with you? Huh? Huh?" Leo wiggles his eyebrows.

"No. To all of those questions," Amy states sarcastically and the three sag. She sighs at their faces and relents. "Okay...maybe."

"Still counts as a yes," Leo pumps his fist.

"You're still a no."

Suddenly, sparks of electricity forms on her hand and they stare down at it in shock. Amy waves her hand around in confusion before it fades away.

"Whoa, so cool," Raph murmurs as she tries to make sense on what happened.

"How does that even happen? Electricity powers!" Donnie exclaims, pointing to her hand. An oozesquito flies past them before hundreds of them fly out from the portal and are released into the city. "That can't be good."

"We should go, people's blinds are starting to open," Leo suggests and Amy walks up to her bike.

"Need a ride?" She pats the seat.

"How are we all gonna fit on there?" April wonders.

"I call shotgun!" Leo runs up and sits right behind Amy. "By the way, if you need me to hold you, just ask."

"No thanks, wonder turtle. If anything, you should hold onto your stomach. And we're off!" She speeds down the streets, hollering as the others cheer.
