Forgotten Past 2: Past Come Crashing Back
Ch 1 Bad Memories
Michelangelo awoke with a start the sweat pouring down his freckled face. Looking over at the clock the blue eyed turtle saw it was 2:30 am. "Man not again," he muttered as he turned to his side and tried to go back to sleep. But no matter how much he tossed and turned Michelangelo couldn't go back to sleep. Sitting up Michelangelo decided to go into the kitchen to get a drink. Being careful not to wake his sister, Miwa, who was asleep in the bed next to his Michelangelo walked out into the kitchen. Sitting down at the table Michelangelo put his hands over his face. "Man why can't I shake this dream?" he muttered. "Every night for the past two weeks it's been the same thing. It's really annoying." Suddenly Michelangelo felt a hand on his arm startling him Out of instinct he grabbed the arm of the person and flung them as hard as he could. "Hey!" a startled voice cried out as they hit the wall. "What the Hell is goin' on?" Michelangelo got up and ran over to the doorway turning on the lights and saw Raphael laying there rubbing his head. "Oh my God Raph I'm so sorry," Michelangelo said helping his brother to his feet. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine," Raphael said still rubbing his head. "Hell of a throw you got there though."
"Yeah sorry about that," Michelangelo said feeling bad that he had hurt his brother. "It was a reflex. You surprised me."
"Yeah remind me to never do that again," Raphael muttered. Then he turned to his youngest brother and said, "So why are ya up so late?"
"I uh couldn't sleep," Michelangelo said, avoiding eye contact with his brother.
"Yeah?" Raphael asked studying his brother's face. "Did ya have a nightmare or somethin'?" Michelangelo opened his mouth to respond but before he could he heard a voice say, "What's going on in here?" The orange masked turtle turned and saw Leonardo, Donatello and Miwa standing there.
"What are you all doing up?" Michelangelo asked.
"We heard a crash," Miwa said.
"Yeah we thought there might be something wrong?" Donatello chimed in. "What happened anyways?"
"It was my fault," Michelangelo said. "Raph snuck up on me and I flipped him into the wall. Sorry I woke you all up."
"What were you doing up at this hour anyways?" Leonardo asked.
"I uh couldn't sleep," Michelangelo said. "I had a bad dream."
"Wanna talk about it," Donatello asked, concern in his brown eyes.
"Nah I'm good Donnie," Michelangelo said.
"You sure Mikey?" Raphael asked.
"Yeah I'm sure Raph," Michelangelo said with a smile.
"Well if you're sure," Leonardo said. "We should all go back to bed. Sensei said we have an early training session tomorrow." With that the family began to head to bed. All except for Michelangelo.
"You coming Mikey?' Miwa asked.
"Yeah in a minute sis," Michelangelo said. "I uh need to use the bathroom first."
"Ok goodnight," Miwa called as she entered her room. Little did she know that her brother wasn't going to the bathroom. Instead the orange masked turtle decided to take a walk to clear his head. After walking the sewers for a little while Michelangelo decided to head to the surface to get some fresh air. Once he had walked for a few blocks Michelangelo decided to stop on a rooftop and look out at the city. "This is just what I needed," he thought to himself. "Sometime alone to think." But Michelangelo wasn't alone for long. Soon some dark shadowy figures approached him from behind. Suddenly the figures grabbed Michelangelo, surprising him. But they didn't have him for long. Michelangelo quickly broke free and grabbed his nunchakus and began to lunge towards his attackers. Suddenly a voice called out, "Teishi! (Stop)" This caused everyone including Michelangelo to stop. Suddenly a black clad figure emerged from the group and approached Michelangelo. "Watashitachi wa anata ni gai o imi shimasen (We mean you no harm)," they said.
"Un, migi (Yeah right)," Michelangelo said, glaring at the figure. "Anata wa watashi ga sore o shinjiru koto o kitai shimasu?" (You expect me to believe that?)
"Wareware wa masutā anata kara nani mo kitai shimasen, (we expect nothing from you Master)" the figure said with a bow.
"Anata wa nani ni tsuite hanashite imasu ka? (what are you talking about?)" Michelangelo said with confusion. "Watashi wa anata no masutāde wa arimasen yo (I am not your master)"
"Anata wa no chōnandearimasu Oroku Saki. (You are the oldest son of Oroku Saki)" the figure said. "Shitagatte, anata ga watashitachi no masutā to rīdādesu. (Therefore you are our master and leader)."
"Watashi wa musuko no gozen Homato Yoshi! (I am the son of Homato Yoshi)" Michelangelo declared with force. "Shimasen Oroku Saki! (Not Oroku Saki!)"
"Masutā Saki Anata ga ibento de kare no kōkei-sha to iu namae no kare ga rīdo suru koto ga dekimasen (Master Saki named you his successor in the event he is unable to lead)" the figure continued. "Soshite, wareware wa ni anata o modosu yō ni natte kimashita Japan no rīdā to shite anata no righeful basho o toru tame ni the Foot. (And we have come to bring you back to Japan to take your rightful place as leader of the Foot)."
"Soshite, watashi wa iku koto o kyohi shita baai? (And if I refuse to go?)" Michelangelo said.
"Sore wa hijō ni orokana, anata no tame ni kikendesu (That would be very foolish and dangerous for you)" the figure warned taking out his sword and letting the moonlight gleam off of it. But before anything else could happen Miwa came swooping onto the scene along with Raphael, Leonardo and Donatello.
"Good thing I had to foresight to follow you," Miwa declared.
"Yeah and she called us as she was leaving," Raphael said spinning his sais. But there was no battle because the figures left as quickly as they got there. All except for the lead figure, who looked at Michelangelo and said, "Anata ga no musuko o ki ni henkō sa remasu Saki (You will change your mind son of Saki). Anata ga shitte ireba nani ga anata to anata no kazoku no tame ni yoidesu. (If you know what is good for you and your family.)" With that they were gone.
"What was that about?" Leonardo said looking at Michelangelo. "Change your mind about what?"
"Yeah," Raphael said. "And why were they calling you son of Saki?"
"Mikey who were those guys?" Donatello said.
"They were the Shredder's elite guards," Miwa answered. "They handle all of his business."
"What did they want?" Leonardo asked.
"Me," Michelangelo said. "They want me to go with them back to Japan to take my rightful place as leader of the Foot."
"And what did you say to them?" Miwa asked.
"I told them no way," Michelangelo said. "I told them I am the son of Homato Yoshi not Oroku Saki."
"And I take it they didn't except that answer," Leonardo said with a grunt.
"Well obviously they didn't Leo," Raphael said rolling his green eyes. "I mean you heard that guy. He threatened Mikey."
"He won't hurt Mikey," Miwa declared. "As far as they are concerned Mikey is their leader and master. No harm will come to him. Now us on the other hand. We may not be so lucky."
"Well this is just great," Raphael said with a groan. "What are we gonna do?"
"Well first we have to get home," Leonardo said noticing the sun was coming up. "Then we decide what to do." With that the siblings headed back to their sewer home.
