When The Turtles Cry

Summary: Nightmares of the endless war made him hurl and shriek on his bed. Michelangelo just wanted to know the true story behind this endless fate. But can he prove to them that fate can be defeated?

Prologue: Will You Run Away With Me?

Leonardo stood at the foot of his father's grave. The evening cicadas cried as silent tears came out of the blind turtle's face. The wind grew colder as the cicadas cried louder. He looked at the flowers he picked from the forest. More tears came out.

"Hey father..."

Dawn settled in as the wild colors of pink and orange in the sky were shown. The sun settled down as the cicadas chirped even louder.

"We still haven't defeated Shredder and the Kraang army. Worse, we still haven't found Mikey. It's been thirty years..."

He could not find any more words to speak. What he only found were the tears on his face, landing on the soft grass. The moon soon rose up, making the sky a bit dark.

Soon, Leonardo's T-phone buzzed.

"Hello?"Leo mumbled.

"Leo, it is time to move to Convention 12 in New Jersey."

"Coming, April."

Before he left, he looked at the grave one last time, letting the tears flow some more.

"I'm sorry, father."

With that, he left.

WHEN THE TURTLES CRY

Raphael stood on top of the building and sighed. Everything just changed ever since it all began thirty years back. Mikey ran away, he and Leo separated five years back, Donnie was filled with hatred, Splinter died, and most of all...Shredder and the Kraang army won the battle, making the world into a dark planet. Every citizen are forced to work for a solid sixteen hours.

Why did it end that way?

"Mikey..."he spoke. The moon finally rose up, looking at the dark world. Raphael knelt, feeling the silent tears on his face.

"...please come home..."

"Raphael."

He turned around to see the mutant turtle Spike, dressed in a rag with weapons on his belt. He also seemed to have a scar on his eye, covered with a pirate's eyepatch.

"Looks like the Foot Ninjas are planning to invade our hideout tonight. We better move to Hideout ASB or we'll all get killed."

"Alright."

Raphael looked one last time at the moon, sighing.

"Mikey, please come back to us. We're nothing...without you."

WHEN THE TURTLES CRY

Donatello sat down by the pond, looking at the reflection of the moon. He only had one arm left, two scars on both of his cheeks and some of the pieces of his shell went missing. His gentleness replaced with hatred.

He stared at the reflection of the moon in awe, seeing how it reflected on the pond. The lilies danced gently as the cold wind passed by.

Though he was filled with hatred, a small side in him felt pain. Ever since Mikey ran away, life has changed. Their brothers were separated to different resistances after their father's death.

He didn't know why.

"Mikey...baby bro...please come home..."

He found his T-phone buzz.

"Donnie, the Kraang are planning to invade our hideout tonight. We need to vacate and proceed to Hideout 52 in Hoboken."

"Alright, Leatherhead."

Then, Donnie left without a single word.

WHEN THE TURTLES CRY

Michelangelo picked up the dead bird he found. He put the arrow back in his bag, wiped off the blood and put the dead bird inn another bag. He looked around the woods and sighed.

While walking through the forest, he gasped at the sight of something that has driven him to tears: his father's grave.

"No..."

He ran to the grave and fell.

"No...!"

He grasped the soft grass, letting the tears flow.

"NO!"

The crows soon flew away from their tears, thinking "Let's get the f*ck out of here!"

"Father...why?"

He looked at a small treasure box beside the grave with a key buried near it.

Quickly, he took the key and opened the treasure chest. Inside it was a small note.

"Huh...?"

Quickly, he took it and read.

Michelangelo,

If you found this note, I hope you did. It has been thirty years ever since we last saw each other. Life without you isn't the same. Shredder has taken over the world, leading the most of us as slaves. Poverty increased and we are losing. I do not know what to do anymore.

For the first time...I felt old.

My son, please come home. Your brothers are starting to separate from each other and it has been five months since I had cancer. I am on the verge of death.

Our family is nothing without you.

Your father,
Splinter

Mikey clutched the note and let the tears flow.

"Hey Mikey, I'm waiting for you. Hurry before you might be dead."

He took out the walkie talkie while putting the note in the chest. He carried it with one arm.

"Alright, Patricia."

Then, he ran without a trace.

TBC...

A/N: Okay, so this is my only free day because today is Independence Day here in the Philippines. So if there are lots of review, I can make the first chapter. Sounds good?

So this is a rewrite of "Flower of Hell". I just had a huge case of writer's block in that story so I decided to use this instead. And yeah...I got addicted to the season 1 previews of Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni :D. I took the "Yumetsushi-hen" title from Higurashi Kira. The plot is about Hanyuu and the guys on a mission to bring 1978 Rika back to her own time. Its so adorable! X3

So, the basements, the resistances and stuff...I made them up. So don't come complaining to me that the basements and everything are wrong and stuff.

And so you know, I decided to pick up some old characters from the other versions like Irma (FYI, she'll appaer in Season 2) and make some OCs. And about the SAINW Mikey, he was forced to appear the Blood Games, a parody of the Hunger Games.

So, I'm starting to plan the next chapter and the next arc: Watanagashi-hen or Cotton Drifting Chapter. Just so you know, the festival isn't mine. I'm just changing some parts like instead of June, I'll make it September (which means I'm making my birth month a horrible month). Full details will be on that arc.

I'll try to make it the longest I can.

Oh yeah, sorry for a LONG note. I got sugar rush today XD.
