So to start the year 2013 here's a new TMNT fanfic!

Ninja Turtles in Mortal Kombat

Chapter One

Lighting Strikes

"Come on! Faster!"

"I'm doing my best!"

"Keep up Mikey! You're slowing down!"

"I told ya not to eat that pizza before hard exercise!"

"I was hungry!"

"You're always hungry!"

The voices travelled over the city roofs in the wind as six figures leapt across them before finally coming to rest on a tall skyscraper.

"Whoo!" came one of the voices, a female voice "That was some run!"

"That was quite a bound Mona!" came another voice, this time male.

"Thank you Leonardo" came the female voice again.

Just then the moon shone brightly as the clouds moved aside to reveal four male humanoid turtles.

One wearing a blue ninja mask and holding two katana swords, one wearing a purple ninja mask and holding a bo staff, one wearing a red mask and holding twin sai and the final one wearing an orange mask and spinning twin nun chucks.

There was also a female lizard wearing a pink headband in her long dark brown hair and wearing a black and pink crop top with matching loincloth and hot pants and finally an old humanoid grey rat wearing a burgundy robe and holding a walking stick.

The turtles were throwing heartfelt insults at each other whilst the lizard laughed.

The rat looked less amused as he was trying to get the humanoid reptiles to partake in an exercise he trying to tutor.

"My Children!" he barked seriously causing the turtles and the lizard to look at him.

"My Children" sighed the rat running his hand over his face "If I have to ask you to pay attention one more time, I swear my fur will whiten quicker than it already does"

The lizard looked rather remorseful and the turtles looked guilty.

"Sorry Master Splinter" they said together.

The rat nodded his head then pointed at them individually with his cane and giving them points on how to improve their progress.

"Leonardo!" he said to the blue masked turtle "Work harder on your posture!"

"Donatello!" he said to the purple masked turtle "More offense!"

"Monalisa!" he said to the female lizard "Loosen your arms on your fan attacks!"

"Raphael!" he said to red masked turtle "Less aggression!"

"And Michelangelo!" he turned towards the orange masked turtle who spotted a pigeon nearby and decided to observe it.

The rat rolled his eyes at the youngest turtles' lack of concentration and whacked him over the head with his cane causing the turtle to yelp causing the pigeon to get scared and fly away.

The other reptiles giggled but they stopped as Splinter glared at them.

"Michelangelo!" scolded the rat "Do I need to remind you that you need to focus more on your ninja training and not daydream!"

The orange masked turtle looked ashamed but the rat dragged him back to the other turtles and the lizard by his mask ribbons causing him to yelp in pain.

"Mikey!" said Leonardo sheathing his katana "You always do this! When will you learn?"

"He just gets distracted easy!" said Raphael "Typical Mikey!"

"You said it!" said Donatello.

Mona just shook her head.

"You gotta listen more to Master Splinter, Mikey!" she said "His words of wisdom are not to be ignored!"

Michelangelo sighed and nodded in agreement whilst going a little red in the face.

"Now" said Splinter standing before the turtles and Mona who instantly knelt before him.

"You are showing great progress" said Splinter "Especially you Monalisa since you joined us over a year ago"

The turtles looked at Mona and smiled as the lizard blushed slightly.

"He's right babe" said Raphael "Since you haven't been practicing Ninjutsu as long as we have"

"Well she has shown talent for Bushido" said Leonardo

"And taught us a little kung fu!" said Michelangelo excitedly, he clawed his fingers and made a few kung fu sounds.

"You have shown your eagle claw is a good match for my tiger style!" said Mona "You have all shown strengths in the different styles!"

Splinter smiled as he watched his sons stand up and demonstrate the different Kung Fu moves they had learnt from Mona during their free time from training.

Leonardo had shown great skill with the Crane Style with the sweeping moves and deflecting aggressive attacks and often displaying a graceful dance within the fighting. Sometimes Leonardo enjoyed performing Crane Style Kung Fu to gentle music as a form of relaxation.

Donatello had grown a talent for Praying Mantis style by being able to catch opponent's weak points as he often did with his bo staff.

Raphael thoroughly enjoyed learning Tiger style Kung Fu and being able to show true strength and aggression. As he learnt the technique more he displayed a true talent for it.

Michelangelo had shown great talent in Monkey style. Being the most active and spirited of the four turtles, he gave every energy into the bouncy style of the monkey.

"Indeed Mona" said Splinter "You have shown my sons many things from your teachings"

Raphael turned to Leonardo "Looks like Mona's more of an advanced Master in training than you" he said "Better keep an eye on that"

Leonardo looked a little annoyed at Raphael but he agreed, after all the training Mona did when she was still human, she knew a lot about what she knew in the different martial arts she was taught.

"Once we have rested for ten minutes" said Splinter "We shall resume training, and I want to see you all pay attention this time, and that includes you Michelangelo!"

"Yes Master Splinter" said the turtles and Mona together. Michelangelo went a little pink but he knew he was the one turtle who was easily distracted.

Mona stretched her arms to loosen her already stiff muscles and as she did, she saw the sky start to grow more darker than it was already.

It was the early hours of the morning since she, Splinter and the turtles only came out at night when they were less likely to be spotted by humans and it as a clear night with the moon shining brightly except for the odd cloud and light pollution.

As the sky got darker they all started to hear the sound of thunder.

"Looks like a storm brewing" said Leonardo in a worried voice.

"But the weather was forecast for a clear night" said Donatello.

"Weatherman's not always right Donny" said Raphael.

"Whoa" said Mona "That doesn't look like any ordinary storm, the way those clouds are moving"

"What do you mean big sis?" asked Michelangelo.

"Those clouds are moving a lot faster than normal and I don't feel any wind" said Mona.

Donatello stuck his finger in his mouth then held it up to test the air and he agreed there was hardly any wind.

As they looked at the clouds as they darkened the sky the thunder got louder then lighting began to strike.

As it did, the clouds began to swirl a little.

"Do clouds swirl like that?" asked Michelangelo. No-one answered as they stared up at the sky.

Just then the lightening became more frequent and the thunder got louder. Mona stepped back and Raphael held her shoulders as if ready to throw her behind him to protect her.

"Whoa" said Michelangelo "That lightning's getting pretty close, don't you think?"

"Indeed it is my son" said Splinter "We should leave..."

He stepped back about to lead his sons and Mona away but no sooner did he do so than a huge bolt of lightning appeared and struck the roof about ten feet away from where they were standing.

Michelangelo yelped in fear, Splinter jumped back, Raphael pulled Mona behind him and shielded her with his body and Donatello and Leonardo held up their weapons in defence.

The flash of the large bolt was so bright they all had to shield their eyes.

When it cleared away, the turtles, Splinter and Mona were shocked to see standing before them a tall man wearing white trousers, a long sleeved top with grey and silver shoulder, knee, shin pads and arm guards as well as a long blue tabard with a black belt around his hips and a large wide brimmed straw hat.

Everyone stared in surprise and awe for a while and Michelangelo's jaw dropped open like a fish.

"What the shell?" cried Raphael "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" said Donatello.

The man stood tall and straight then looked towards the turtles before frowning with confusion.

"I can't believe it!" cried Michelangelo "It's...It's...Raiden!"

"You got to be kidding me!" said Leonardo.

The man took another look at the turtles and his hands clenched into fists.

"What is this?" he said "I thought all you reptile species were banished from here!"

"What?" cried the turtles together.

"Banished?" asked Raphael.

"You must be spawn of the evil Reptile!" said the man "Followers of Shao Khan!"

He then charged up his hands and lightening surrounded them.

"Whoa!" cried Michelangelo "I thought Raiden was a good guy!"

"Well this one isn't!" cried Donatello holding up his staff.

"LOOK OUT!" shouted Leonardo as Raiden threw a bolt of lightning at them, the turtles, Mona and Splinter leapt to the sides avoiding the lightening then held up their weapons.

"Evil?" cried Leonardo "Reptile?" questioned Raphael.

They looked up at Raiden again as he fired another bolt of lightning at them and they jumped away from each other.

"Hey lightening Dude!" cried Michelangelo as he jumped in front of the man swinging his nun chucks "What's your problem?"

The man turned to him and fired up his hand with lightening again.

"You cannot be Earthrealmers" he said "You cannot be the ones I'm searching for!"

"Searching for?" cried Mona holding up her fans "Who was he searching for?"

The man aimed his hand at Michelangelo but Donatello used his bo staff and thrust it towards the man knocking him off his feet.

The man jumped up again but before he could attack Donatello, he felt something hit him hard in the back then a long pink tail whipped him in the face.

The man fell on his back and looked up to see the end of a long walking stick and the face of a wrathful grey rat.

"I will end you if you try to hurt my family!" snarled Splinter "Now tell me, what is the meaning of your attack?"

The turtles and Mona approached carefully with their weapons as the man studied them all.

"Why have I come to Earthrealm to choose the very warrior's I need for the tournament and I find in my presence four humanoid turtles, a 5 foot tall lizard and a walking talking rat?" said the man "I never understood that this Realm has creatures that are not human"

"Warriors?" questioned Leonardo "Earthrealm?" said Michelangelo. The confusion on the young turtle's face soon turned to excitement.

"I knew it was Raiden!" he cried "Wow! I never knew he was real!"

Donatello frowned and hit the young turtle with his bo staff in annoyance.

The man looked at the youngest turtle rubbing his head and curiosity etched across his face.

Mona then stepped forward to try and clear the air.

"Ok" she said "I don't understand here, but who exactly are you? We don't want any trouble"

The man cocked his head on one side looking at Mona but Splinter kept his cane down on him in caution.

"I am Raiden" he said "Thunder God and former protector of Earthrealm"

The turtles and Mona all gasped in shock and disbelief.

"No way!" cried Michelangelo "I knew it!"

So the Thunder God Raiden has come to New York and met the turtles! More will be revealed in the next chapter!

Hope you liked it!
