Disclaimer- I own nothing

Chapter 1

Summary- one of the best episodes deserves a series devoted to it, I am of course referring to the episode 'same as it never was'. The episode where Donnie is sent to the future where Shredder rules with an iron fist and April leads the resistance. This story, yes it will be a long one, tells the story of how everything came to be. Ever wondered how Splinter died? How the turtles drifted apart and how Leo became blind? Or how April came to be the resistance leader in the first place and how Angle became a resistance member leading a group of commandos? More importantly, several of the main characters did not appear, maybe Shredder or the turtles defeated them along the way such as Bishop and Leatherhead. This story will answer every question that every body thought of after watching that episode. The timeline will start when the actually episode was aired. It was aired in 2005 so Donnie is sent to the year 2035. For the purpose of the story the Ultimate Drako comes and sends Donnie into the future but the other turtles and Splinter remain, a sort of alternative reality where Donnie is gone.

March 19th 2005

The turtle's layer was filled with activity, same as every day really, nothing really special going on. Donnie was, as always building one his new devices hoping to increase the turtle's layer or their firepower against their enemy, the Shredder. Donnie was of course standing at his desk looking over several blueprints of his latest creation, his desk was of course a complete mess. Blueprints were mixed with pens and pencils, bits of prototypes scattered about the place all around his laptop. Across the room, Mikey was being well Mickey. The orange band turtle was, like always, lying across the sofa watching TV, the matrix, one his favourite shows. In one hand he held the TV remote and the other a bag of chips with Klunk, the ginger cat, and all around him on the floor was littered with comic books. To be honest, it was a wonder that the others could put up with him being that untidy, the others were… slightly more tidy than Mikey. Further round the room was Raph doing what he always did everyday, punching and kicking his punch bag. Casey was standing beside watching, picking up some moves now and then so he can use them against the purple dragons. Splinter as always was at the front of the room on his perch, meditating since breakfast which had been several hours ago. Leo of course was training with his swords, trying out new moves and perfecting the old ones.

Beep Beep Beep

"Donnie!" whined Mikey from his position on the sofa, "Hurry up and get that, the best part if about the come."

"You've seen that film a hundred times." Replied Don, making his way over to his computer by the wall.

"Doesn't mean anything, I love this film."

Mikey went to back to watching the TV with a vacant expression, Donnie turned his attention to the computer seeing as how he would never get a response back from Mikey. Pressing a few buttons of the keyboard a familiar face popped up on the screen.

"April," cried Donnie happily as he put the ear piece in and sat down.

"Hiya Don."

"Hey April, what's up?"

"I was looking over your notes from your trip to the medieval period and I still can't believe it."

"I know, if I wasn't there I wouldn't believe it myself."

"Well I guess did learn that from Uncle Oggy…"

BOOOOM

From the centre of the room, right above the pool a huge bright light emerged out of thin air, sending waves of powerful air all over.

"Guys?"

Around the room the other turtles and Splinter were completely frozen. Mikey from the same position on the sofa throwing several chips into the air, which were also strangely frozen in mid air. Leo was several feet off the ground and was just about to slice through several candles on poles, Raph had just attempted a leaping kick while Casey was still watching Raph for moves. Splinter hadn't moved in ages so he did not look frozen in place, he looked normal. Even April on the computer seemed to be frozen.

"Donatello!"

From the bright light a familiar voice sounded making a chill run up Don's spine, from the light emerged the last person, or persons if you think about it, he never wanted to see again. The ultimate Drako stood before the terrified turtle.

"Drako."

Drawing his staff from his back, Don readied himself for what was to come.

"You did this to me, you must pay."

Attacking on his training, Don sprang into action and leaped into the air. Ultimate Drako simply smiled and waved the time septar, stopping Donatello in mid air, totally frozen like the rest.

"You shall know the meaning of suffering beyond time and space,"

Ultimate Drako gave his best evil laugh and waved his time septar once more making Donatello vanish in a bright light.

"It is done."

A second later Ultimate Drako vanished in the same bright light as before, everything round the room turned back to normal almost as if nothing had happened.

"Donnie!" shouted Mikey from his position on the sofa, which had not changed. "Can you get me some chips?"

The only sound in the room was the sound of Leo's swords clanging and the grunts of Raph hitting the punch bag, and of course the TV.

"Donnie?"

For the first time ever, Mikey turned off the TV and sat up staring round the room looking for his brother only to find emptiness, except for his master and other brothers that is.

"Yo, Raph. Where's Don?"

"How should I know?" replied Raph, kicking the punch bag a little too hard.

Leo, being the leader and all, sheathed his swords and walked over to the computer where he saw April's face on the screen.

"April? What's wrong?"

"Where's Don? I was speaking to him a second ago, and now he just… vanished."

"Alright, we'll find him."

"Call me when you find him then."

The screen went blank as Leo became increasingly worried, which he always was as it came naturally for the leader in him. Pulling out his shell phone and pressed a few buttons and a list of all local shell cells in the area. Raph, Mikey, Splinter, Casey, April… no sign of Donnie.

"He must be out of range," muttered Leo. "Hey guys? Have you seen Don anywhere?"

"Last I saw he was where you are dude," replied Mikey, for once actually rising from the sofa and walking over to Leo.

"I'm sure he's fine," said Raph, sending a flying kick at the punch bag.

"No, something's not right. Mikey, Raph, Casey. Split up and look for him."

"He'll turn up sooner or later," replied Raph.

Mikey and Casey were busy getting ready to look for Don as Raph went to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. Leo, being the obsessive leader he was walked over to Raph and gave him his best leader glare.

"We are all going to look for him."

"He's probably with Leatherhead or looking for new parts for his latest machine…"

"That wasn't a suggestion, it was an order."

"An order?" sneered Raph, pushing Leo away.

Leo pushed Raph back into the kitchen counter, Raph becoming increasingly annoyed Leo's leader mode.

"Leonardo, Raphael." Called master Splinter, "Find your brother as one."

"Yes master," Leo and Raph said at once.

I'm going to leave the first chapter there as a starter : )

Already Leo and Raph aren't getting along.
