Whatever she was, she knew what she wasn't. And she wasn't their slave. Any clues from the Kraang on what she was were very cryptic. They had simply referred her as "the vulpes-hybrid". Kasha, a name given to her by her only friend, Leatherhead, ran along side him as they attempted their escape plan. They were finally getting away from the Kraang.

A glass wall stood between them and freedom. Kasha inhaled deeply and let out a super sonic scream that shattered the glass. Once the glass was gone, they jumped out and landed on one of the metal lands, at least, that's what Kasha called them. Leatherhead gathered her up and had her hold on to his back while he ran through the crystal jungle. He carried a crystal club in one hand and a communication orb in the other. Once they stopped, Kasha slid off of her friend's back. Her whiskers twitched as she sniffed the air. "If you plan to contact them, now is your only chance." She said as she turned to her friend.

The mutant alligator nodded as he spoke to the beeping orb. "Turtles. The Kraang have perfected the mutagen. They're about to-" he stopped mid-sentence when he heard something. Turning to Kasha, he gave her his club. "Run, Kasha. You must guide them if they come."

Kasha let a lone tear fall from her eye as she nodded. She silently ran until she came to the edge of the metal land. Turning back, she saw Kraang bots approaching. Not giving them time to speak, she jumped off the edge and hurled herself to the next bit of metal land. She kept running until she knew they were no longer chasing her.

Kasha started to fear that Leatherhead's friends were never going to come. Weeks passed and her only source of food was hunting stray Kraang. It felt good to hunt them, making them feel like prey.

She combed her fingers through the fur of her tail nervously, still not know what she was. Looking at her reflection on the wall she was leaning against, she looked at her orange and white fur. Her ears stuck out and were pointed with black tips. She still remembered that the Kraang called her "vulpes-hybrid", whatever that was. She just hoped that she knew what she was soon or she'd go insane.

It had been so long since Leatherhead sent the message. Just as Kasha was having doubts, she saw one of the rock-hoppers chasing a strange green creature that wore an orange mask. His screams were high pitched as he ran away from the rock-hopper. Kasha jumped to the metal land that the chase was happening on and sceeched as loud as she could, scaring it enough to make it stop. She then jumped on top of it and punched its feeler, the tiny head with green eyes, causing the monster to fall back in fear.

The green creature stared at Kasha in awe. "You totally saved me. Thanks."

"What are you?!" She demanded as she approached him with Leatherhead's crystal club. "In all my years living in this cursed place, I have never seen a creature like you!"

"I'm a turtle, dudette. The teenage mutant ninja variety." He answered. "The name's Michelangelo, but you can call me Mikey."

Kasha lowered the club upon hearing this. "Turtle? Are you one of the creatures Leatherhead was trying to contact?"

"Leatherhead! Where is he?" The Mikey asked.

"He was recaptured by the Kraang. But we need more than two of us to rescue him." Kasha said. Suddenly, the rock-hopper appeared again and Kasha gave it a warning growl to scare it off. "We need to go or else that thing will try to eat us." She then led Mikey to her own little camp on a different metal land.

"So, are you like a fox-girl or something?" Mikey asked.

"What is a 'fox'?" Kasha asked.

"They're these cute little dog things that yip instead of bark and do these adorable jumps and stuff." Mikey explained.

Kasha stared at Mikey like he was insane. "I can assure you that I am not adorable or cute. I am strong, hearty and very aggressive. And it seems that I will have to teach you to be that, as well."

Months had passed. Kasha taught Mikey everything she knew about Dimension X. And while scouting the H.Q. and taking down a few lone Kraang, Kasha helped Mike make a mask and belt from one, explaining that he needed to be visually intimidating as well as vocally.

One day, after they picked some bang-rocks, Mikey saw his brothers. They were being chased by a rock-hopper, or as he called them, a rocktopus. "My brothers are here!" He yelled. He was quick to grab a rope-tongue slug and swing his way to his brothers' rescue. After he pulled them from harms way and threw some bang-rocks, Kasha swung in and pulled them further away to give Mikey some room.

They struggled at first, but stopped when she yelled, "If you value your lives and that of your brother's, you will do what I say!" They then followed her as Mikey swung himself up and kicked the rock-hopper's feeler, sending it over the side of the metal land.

"You're okay!" The purple-clad turtle exclaimed.

"We were worried about you." The blue one added.

"Well, what took you so long?" Mikey asked. "I've been here for months."

"Months?" The blue turtle asked.

"Or maybe a few hours. I don't have a watch." Mikey added.

"But we went through the portal, like, fifteen seconds behind you." The red-clad turtle said.

"Obviously, time passes faster here than it does in our own dimension. There's a temporal differential." The purple turtle explained.

"I love temporal." Mikey smiled. He then motioned for Kasha to join them. "Guys, this is Kasha. She totally saved my shell when I first got here. She taught me everything about Dimension X, and she's also the reason I was able to survive here." He then turned to Kasha. "Dudette, these are my bros. Leo, the leader. Donnie, the genius. And Raph, the hothead."

"Hey!" Raph yelled.

"It is an honor to meet all of you. Mikey speaks so fondly of his family."

"How are you able to breathe this atmosphere?" Donnie asked.

"I'm a failed Kraang experiment. They spliced their DNA with another race of alien, in hopes of creating a protector of Kraang Prime. Unfortunately for them, my will was never broken." Kasha explained before seeing the rock-hopper return. Both she and Mikey screeched at it, sending it back in fear.

Donnie was confused by this. "Wait. How did you-"

"Let's get moving. That thing's gonna keep coming back. And we gotta rescue Leatherhead." Mikey explained.

"Stock up on bang-rocks before we head out." Kasha told him.

Mikey nodded before jumping on a crystal tree. "Mikey, be careful!" Donnie yelled. The orange turtle ignored his brother as he lightly howled at a few low hanging crystals. They popped right off, his for the taking. "How did you do that?"

"A lot of stuff here responds to sound." Mikey said before jumping down to his brothers. He then picked up some rope-tongue slugs and handed them to his brother.

"What are we supposed to do with these?" Leo asked.

"Like this." Mikey said. He then gently squeezed the slug to srnd out its tongue to a drifting piece of land. Kasha did the same. The brothers shrugged before bollowing suit. Unfortunately, they didn't realize how strong the pull was going to be.

After they crashed on the land, Kasha and Mikey followed, landing on their feet.

"Woah, how'd you know how these bug things worked?" Raph asked.

"Kasha showed me." Was Mikey's answered.

"Mikey, you're like a genius here." The red turtle added.

"Hey, in 'crazy-backwards land', 'crazy-backwards dude' is king." Mikey said before squeezing his rope-tongue slug to get the nectar it secreted. "They're tasty, too." But his brothers looked as though tjey were going to be sick. Mikey ignored them as he exclaimed, "Now, let's go rescue Leatherhead!"

Hi. Hope this is a good start. Plz review 😁
