A/N: This has been in my head almost all month, so I've finally decided to write it. Please let me know what you think! Leave me some reviews because I'm addicted to them. And you should all feed my addiction. =]]

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the turtles. I want to, really I do! But for some reason the owners don't wanna share. *Grumbles*

Chapter 1: Brothers and Zombies and Ninjas Oh My!

"Pleeeeeeaaaaasssseeee?!"

"I said no."

"But it's a totally lame reason to say no!"

"Lame reason or not the answer is still no."

"Pleeeeeeaaaaasssseeee?!"

"I've told you already, it's too dangerous."

"I'm more dangerous than anything out there!"

"Mikey, let me say it in Spanish for you; no."

"Por favor!"

Leonardo rolled his eyes. "Nice try, but no."

Mike narrowed his eyes and squared his shoulders. Time for the big guns, no more Mr. Nice Turtle.

Leo's eyes grew wide. "Oh Mikey no, not the eyes."

Mikey turned on the puppy dog eyes and Leo's already weak resolve started to fade even more. Of course Mikey, the youngest of the group, would be blessed with the baby blue eyes. And of course he knew how to use them to his advantage. And of course Leo was never able to tell him no when he turned on the puppy dog eyes. Mikey knew this of course, which is why he always used it against his eldest brother. Raphael could ignore it easily; he never bent to Mikey's will whenever he pulled out 'the eyes.' Donatello had a harder time ignoring them; he would eventually break depending on the situation. Leo though? Leo cracked every time.

"Mike…"

Eyes.

"Mike, c'mon."

Eyes.

"Michelangelo!"

Eyes.

Leo sighed dramatically, throwing his hands in the air. "Fine! Fine! You can go!"

Mikey jumped about twenty feet in the air, first pumping. "YES!"

"There are rules." Leo added.

Mike's enthusiasm diminished slightly. "There are always rules."

Leo gave him a stern look before continuing. "You're to say dressed up the whole time, understood?"

"Dude, c'mon like I would ever risk exposure."

"You're to be back at the lair by midnight."

"Midnight?! But-"

Leo put his hand up, silencing Mike. "Midnight. Don't even think about accepting an invitation somewhere else. You're to stay at the park the whole time."

"Yes mom."

"And someone has to go with you."

"What?! That's so unfair!" Mike complained.

"Don't care. You're definitely not going alone."

"Leo, I'm 17 alright? Not exactly a baby anymore. I can take care of myself."

Leonardo shook his head. "It's not a matter of being a baby Mikey. The Foot have been more active recently and so have the Purple Dragons. I'm not risking anything."

Mikey rolled his eyes and sighed. "Fine, whatever. So…you wanna come with me?"

Leo barked a laugh. "Yeah right. I'm letting you go, my job is done."

Mike narrowed his eyes. "I could've asked Master Splinter."

Leo raised a brow. "And what do you think he would've said?"

Mike sighed. "To ask you…"

Leo grinned and slapped the back of Mike's shell. "Maybe Donnie will go with you."

"Go with you where?" Donatello asked as he appeared in the living room.

"To the All Night Zombie Prom at Central Park!" Mikey said enthusiastically.

"Oh no, there is no way I'm going." Don said with a shake of his head.

"Awe, c'mon bro! It'll be great! We get to dress like zombies and dance and have fun! Plus I hear Deadmau5 is gonna be there!" Mike said jumping up and down around his brother.

"Who?" Don asked.

Mike stopped bouncing. "I swear none of you know anything about good music."

"Ya wouldn't know good music if it slapped ya in the face Mikey." A heavy Brooklyn accent was heard from above. The brothers looked up to see their red banded brother jump from the railing and join them in the living room.

Mike huffed. "I do too know good music. The crap you listen to Raph, sucks."

"Hey, don't knock the classics." Raph said.

Mike snorted. "Classics? Dude, you listen to mullet rock."

Don snickered. "He's got a point Raph."

Raphael scowled at Donatello. "Like you've got room to talk Donnie. Whadda ya like to listen to? Beethoven?"

Don's cheeks reddened a bit. "Maybe…"

Mike and Raph laughed.

"Better than what Leo listens to." Don replied.

"Hey, leave my music taste out of this." Leonardo said.

"Can you even call it music taste?" Michelangelo asked.

Raph scoffed. "Ya don't see 'Greatest Hits of the Monks' bein' sold on T.V. do ya?"

The three brothers laughed while Leo looked a bit miffed.

"Donnie please go with me!" Mike begged.

"Mikey I really don't want to…" Don whined.

"Zombie prom?" Raph asked Leo.

"Zombie prom." Leo nodded.

"I'll go with ya." Raph said.

All eyes turned to Raphael.

"What?" Mike asked.

Raph rolled his eyes. "I said I'd go with ya."

Mike looked dubiously at Raph before poking him in the side. Raph squawked and jumped back a bit. "Who are you and what've you done to my brother Raphael?"

"Do ya wanna go or not?" Raph demanded.

"Yes!" Mike answered.

"Then ya better get ready or I'll leave yer ass here." Raph grunted.

Mike grinned and dashed off to prepare himself for what was bound to be the greatest night of his life!

OoOoOoO

"This is gonna be GREAT!" Mike shouted, doing flip after flip on the rooftops. Raphael could barely contain the smile creeping on his lips. He hadn't seen Mikey this excited in months. Raphael had told Mikey he wasn't going to be dressing up nearly as much as Mikey was; they were supposed to be ninja zombies. One good thing that worked in their favor was their already green skin. Mike of course had gone all out; black ninja costume complete with fake blood and scars running along the few parts of exposed skin. Raphael had a trench coat and hat on, but of course Mikey couldn't just leave him alone and had poured fake blood all over the coat and hat. They were almost there when they heard footsteps behind them. Raph wasted no time in whipping out his Sai's.

"It's just us." Donatello said with his hands up in mock surrender.

Raph sighed and put his Sai's back. "Whadda tryin' to do Donnie, gimme a heart attack?"

"Just thought we'd come along." Leonardo said as he emerged from the shadows.

"Dudes! You're all coming?" Mikey asked enthusiastically.

"Can't always let you have all the fun." Leo replied with a small smile.

"This is gonna be epic! The four amigo's busting out the moves!" Mikey said while doing a little dance.

The three older turtles couldn't help but smile.

"Whatever goofball, let's just go." Raph said, pulling Mike into a loose headlock and giving him a noogie.

Leo and Don weren't dressed up but their plan was to stay in the shadows.

"Worried?" Raph asked Leo, letting Donnie and Mikey go ahead of them.

"A bit." Leo answered.

"Ya don't trust me to look out fer him?" Raph asked, his temper rising slightly at the implication.

Leo shook his head. "Not at all. I know you can take care of him, but then who'd take care of you?"

Raphael scoffed. "I don't need help, trust me."

"I do. It's other people I don't trust. And Halloween is the perfect time to blend in, we won't be able to tell who may be a Foot ninja or not if they dress up too."

Raph's temper cooled at hearing that. It was true. Halloween was when the freaks came out. No pun intended to him and his mutant brothers.

"Yer right. We need to be extra careful tonight." Raph replied.

Leo smirked slightly. "I'm sorry, what was that? I'm right? Is that what I heard?"

"Don't push is Leo." Raph growled, hiding a smile.

They finally made it to the park and Don and Leo completely disappeared into the shadows.

"Keep an eye on him." Raph told Leo.

"You too." Leo said.

Mikey immediately went into the middle of the park, as close to the stage where there was this huge mouse looking thing fiddling around with a turn table and laptop. Raph knew that was the DJ Mike had been so excited about. Raph smiled to himself and shook his head. Raph knew coming out here was dangerous as hell and he couldn't believe that Mikey had actually convinced Leo to allow him to go. Raph knew Mikey's puppy dog eyes never failed to break his older brother though. Raphael liked to tell himself that he was able to resist those eyes, but despite his bad ass 'I don't care' exterior, he could easily cave to Mikey's puppy dog eyes. Raphael decided to get a bit closer so he could keep an eye out for his little brother. Mikey was swaying back and forth to the music, adding in a bit of martial arts flair to it making it look more like break dancing. Raph had to admit, his little brother was pretty good. A small crowd circled him, cheering him on. Raph smirked and shook his head before finding a new position. He didn't like staying still, he needed to move every few minutes or so. He had to admit, the DJ wasn't that bad. He kept the beat fresh, never playing the same song twice. Mikey checked in with him every once in a while, begging him to join but Raph declined every time. Finally, Leo whistled and Raph knew it was time to go. He made his way through the crowed and finally found Mikey.

"C'mon Mikey, time ta go."

Mike spun around. "Now?" He whined.

"Yeah, now. S'go."

Mike waved to the group of people he had been hanging out with and followed his older brother. Once outside of the park and back into the shadows of buildings Leo and Don reappeared.

"Did you have a good time?" Leo asked Mike.

"Dude. It. Was. Awesome." Mike said.

Leo smiled. "Good."

"I gotta admit that mouse DJ had some decent beats."

"I told you! Deadmua5 is awesome!"

"It wasn't too bad." Don commented.

"It was epic." Mikey stated, tearing off the ninja costume he was wearing. Raph took off the hat and trench coat, trashing it because there was no way he would get the stains outta it.

They laughed at the party stories Mikey told. Ooo'd and Ah'd at the explanations of the people he had met. It was good for them to get out like this every once in a while. Good, but dangerous. Leonardo was on high alert. He couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen. And as if on cue, he heard something shift in the shadows. Every muscle in his body tensed.

"Guys, be alert." Leo whispered so softly, Raphael could barely hear him. Donnie and Mikey were still talking animatedly and seemingly didn't hear Leonardo.

"You see something Leo?" Raph asked just as softly.

"We're being followed."

Raph tensed and then all hell broke loose.

Tons of Foot ninja were falling from rooftops, pouring in from the shadows. Leo and Raph immediately got their weapons out, Donnie and Mikey not much further behind.

"Alright, nothing like a little midnight snack after a wicked awesome party!" Mikey said enthusiastically.

"Focus Mikey." Leo said.

Mikey grinned. "Dude, I'm totally focused! Focused on kickin' the snot outta some Foots!"

"We're outnumbered by a lot guys. Stay together and the moment I say run, we run." Leo said.

"Awe, c'mon Leo. We can take em'!" Raph said.

Leonardo didn't have a chance to reply as all the ninja's attacked. Leo didn't miss a beat, he was slicing his way through enemy after enemy, being sure to hit to maim or kill; as long as they didn't get back up. Raph was doing just fine on his own, his Sai's bringing more enemies down than Leo's Katana's. Donnie was doing good too, he never fought to kill, he just knocked them out cold with his Bo. Simple, yet effective. Mikey of course was taunting and teasing, acting like he was having the time of his life.

"You call that a punch? I know a 17 year old girl who can hit harder than that!" Mikey teased while ducking a punch towards his head. His Nunchuck's were twirling and hitting each target. Mikey was like Donnie; he didn't fight to kill. But while he was similar to Donnie, he had never actually killed anyone before, Donnie had.

Leo was trying to keep an eye out for all of his brother's while battling his own ninjas. It was a tough task, but he'd been doing it ever since the first time they went topside. The sheer number of the Foot were overwhelming and Leo was becoming worried. Leo got slugged in the side and he doubled over for a second before hitting the ground and swiping his legs around in a circle; bringing down the small group that had cornered him. Raph was getting hit more often now too, their stamina running low after half an hour of fighting.

Donnie was getting tired. The more they kept fighting the more their enemies came at them. It seemed as if they weren't even making a dent. Donatello was currently getting his shell handed to him too. He dodged as many attacks that hit him. They seemed to want to incapacitate him, and that made him worried. They weren't fighting to destroy. They were fighting to collect.

"Leo! We need to leave! Now!" Donnie yelled.

"Not exactly a good-ugh-time!" Leo said after getting kicked in the chest.

"They're here to collect!" Don yelled.

"What?" Raph asked, not understanding.

"They don't want to kill! They want to obtain!" Don yelled again, blocking a Katana with his Bo.

Leo and Raph understood and with a last burst of strength knocked their groups to the ground with a spinning kick. There was a grunting sound and the brothers turned to see Michelangelo on the ground, a dart sticking out of his arm.

"Mikey!" Raph shouted and ran towards his youngest brother.

There was a whistle blown and soon the area around them exploded in a cloud of smoke. It was enough to choke them and they fell to their knees gasping for air.

"L-Leo?" Raph yelled out. "Donnie? M-Mikey?"

"I'm h-here!" Donatello coughed out.

"Ditto!" Leo got out.

The smoke finally cleared and the brothers were completely alone. All of the Foot ninja were gone.

"Mikey?" Leo called out, heart pounding.

"Mike?!" Don yelled out next. They jumped up to the rooftops, scouring the entire area for any sign of their little brother.

"MIKEY!" Raph shouted into the night.

But there was no answer.

Michelangelo was gone.
