Author's note: This is an AU to the episode Exodus II.

Disclaimer: I own no one you've seen in the cartoon and that's all I'm saying at this point.


Michelangelo grabbed the electric wire and attacked the Shredder. He was knocked down and the wires were pulled out of his hands. He could only sit there unable to move.

"Michelangelo!" Splinter yelled. "Move!"

Splinter was knocked away by the Shredder. Shredder hit Mikey with the wires.

Mikey felt nothing but pain as the electricity flowed through his body. He fell back to the floor unconscious.

Later the Utroms were tending to the turtles numerous injuries before Shredder's tribunal. Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Splinter were all concerned as Mikey had not regained consciousness yet. The youngest turtle's body was constantly twitching.

Leonardo's chest was wrapped, Donatello's arm was in a sling, and Raphael's ribs were also wrapped. Splinter's back was bothering him but he seemed the least injured of the group.

One of the Utroms came into the room. "Come. It is time for the Tribunal."

"What about Mikey?" Donatello asked.

One of the Utroms who had been tending the injuries said, "we will take care of him."

The Turtles and Splinter followed them out of the room. Each looking back at Mikey who had been so quiet. Raphael had made a crack earlier about how this was the first time Mikey's mouth hadn't moved but as they headed for the Tribunal, none of them were in a joking mood.

One Utrom watched them leave and made sure they were out of earshot before saying, "we must move quickly." He took what resembled a syringe out of a drawer and injected it into Mikey's arm.

"I still say this is a bad idea," another Utrom said. "We need him."

"He's fought a hard fight and deserves this," the first Utrom said as he started to rub something against the turtle's arm.

Mikey's eyes snapped open. He looked up at the Utroms in surprise. "What? Where am I?" He felt something else pierce his skin and everything went hazy and then completely out of focus.

There was a loud banging.

Mikey blinked his eyes a few times and found himself in a bathroom. How did I get here? He wondered.

"Come on Mikey," Raphael said. "I need to use the bathroom! You've been in there a half hour."

"What's the matter Raph?" Mikey called back. "Have to brush your hair?"

"Very funny wise guy, now get out!"

Mikey sighed. He wasn't sure why he was in the bathroom in the first place. What did the Utroms need it for anyway?

He opened the door and then screamed. He didn't stop screaming until the person on the other side of the door grabbed him and shook him.

"Cut it out Mikey," Raphael said. "Do you want dad coming up here?"

"Who are you?" Mikey asked still not believing what he was seeing. The guy in front of him sounded like Raphael but it couldn't be Raphael. This guy was human.

"Would you knock it off? I'm your brother numskull."

"But...but you are human!" He stammered.

"Yeah," Raphael said slowly. "What did you expect? Klunk? Now stop joking around and get outta my way!"

Mikey moved out of the way. What was going on? He wondered. It did not take him long to realize he was no longer on the Utrom ship. He was in what almost looked like April and Casey's apartment.

He could smell food cooking so he followed his nose. He entered a kitchen and found April, along with two other teenage boys and a Japanese man sitting around the table.

Something was really wrong here.


Notes: Sort of testing this out to see what people think. Let me know what you think.
