Chapter 1: Lena

It was the perfect day, the only perfect day since they disappeared. It's been a month since they were gone. The days have been gloomy and rainy ever since and her mood has been too. She frowned at her thoughts and quickly shook her head.

Stop thinking like that, Lena, she scolded herself, today was the only day you could get out. Her pace quickened as she put her sweatshirt hood over top her long, curly blonde hair. She didn't want reporters to follow her, asking her questions about her missing family. Reporters have been crowding around her house, asking her questions whenever she tried to get out:

"Why did your parents go away on that trip? Why didn't they take you along?"

"What are you going to do now that your parents are gone?"

"What's going to happen to your family's business?"

"Are you going to inherit the riches your parents have earned?"

"Wait, YOU'RE the famous Caparelli's kid?"

It always made her furious when they asked her about her heritage. Yes, she was the richest and most famous kid in the world. Everyone knew about her parents, where they lived, and everything. What they didn't know is what their child's name and appearance was. She knew her parents always tried their hardest on keeping her face off of television, billboards, and posters. They even had special teachers that came in to teach her. Even her maid, Glenda, only permitted her to go out once a week, but with special clothes on so no one would recognize her. Not even her parents knew about Glenda's promise to Lena about going out; her parents didn't want her to go out AT ALL. The one day that Glenda allowed her to get out of the house when her parents were out, was the day they disappeared.

Lena rounded the corner of the street and tried to suppress her tears that were forming. She didn't tell Glenda about her going out and she sort of felt bad because of it. But she knew Glenda would understand, all the reporters were gone from her house (following some case about mutants?) and this was her only time to get out. A tear spilled over Lena's eye; she wiped it quickly knowing she wouldn't stop crying if she started. She lifted her head up and took in a breath of warm air. The perfect day. No more bad thoughts, only good thoughts, she promised to herself.

She texted her only two friends about, finally, getting out of her house. Both Lucy and Max responded with excited texts about where to go, what to do, and AHHHHHs. She smiled at the thought of when they first met. She met Lucy over five years ago at a public school she was in for less than a week, and have been great friends ever since. Max she met at a public high school she went to for a day until someone noticed who she was. She went home early that day, but she made a friend. She only knew Max for a year but it seemed like she knew her for years.

Lena laughed to herself as she pushed open the mall door only to find Max and Lucy sitting on the ground in front of the doors. They were nervously talking to each other and checking their phones periodically.

She stood in front of the two and said in the manliest voice she could muster, "You are not allowed to sit here. There are tables here for a reason."

Lucy and Max both were still looking at the ground when Lucy said in a small voice, "I'm sorry we are waiting for a friend we haven't seen in a while. We are so excited we haven't seen her in forever and we are going to go walk around and maybe see a movie and maybe get matching shirts an-"

"Shut up, Lucy. I'm right here," Lena cut Lucy off and pushed her hood back. Both whipped their heads up and looked at the blonde with wide eyes.

"LENA!" they both yelled at the same time, hugging and making Lena uncomfortable.

"Ugh hugs. Why did it have to be hugs?" muttered Lena under her breath as Max hugged her again. Lena saw that Lucy looked sort of hesitant, like she wanted to say something important.

"Um, Lena, I'm sorry about your parents."

She looked at Lucy and frowned, "My parents don't matter right now. What matters is that I still have friends after what seems to be months!"

"It has been months! Exactly three!" Max huffed.

Lena laughed and smiled at her friends. It felt so good to feel happy again.

"Come on, McDonald's shakes on me!" Lena yelled over her shoulder as she walked toward the food stands.

"I was hoping you would say that!" Lucy yelled as she ran to me with Max on her tail.

Max quietly muttered under her breath, "Hey guys, I have a boyfriend now."

"WHAT?!"

It was dusk now when Lena started to head home. She spent the whole day with her friends that made her forget about her life back at home. Her eyes widened as she thought about Glenda; oh god, she was going to flip! Lena started running towards home, turning down the streets of New York. The sky got darker and darker the more she ran. Luckily, nobody was out on the streets because of how dangerous New York streets are at night. Crap, Lena thought, I'm going to probably run into a street gang and disappear like my parents. At the thought, she started sprinting home.

A dark figure darted out in her path making her fall on her knees. Lena breathed a shaky breath as she started to get up.

"Hey! The least you could do is say sorr-" Lena was cut off by a series of beeping noises behind her. She turned slowly and saw a robot that sort of looked like the droids from Star Wars, except they had pink brains in their stomachs. Lena gasped at the sight of the robot and backed away quickly.

The robot cocked its head to the side and said in a monotone voice, "Kraang cannot find turtle. Girl in front of Kraang is not turtle. Must kill for seeing Kraang."

"What?"

The robot-brain-thingy, Kraang, started walking towards her with a strange looking gun. Pink bars on the side of the gun started to fill up like the gun was recharging. The thing that the Kraang didn't realize was that Lena had years of Karate behind her back. Her parents were so over protective, that they wanted their daughter to take self-defense so if she got into a situation on the streets, she would be prepared.

The weapon fired, but Lena was one step ahead. She quickly moved out of the way, kicked its side, and the Kraang fell to the ground. It started to get up when she took a trash can lid and smacked the edge of it at the neck of the robot. The head came off making the pink brain come out of the stomach. It hissed at her and ran away.

Lena stood there for a moment, sort of stunned, when she quietly put the lid back on the trash can. She heard some grunting and yelling at the top of a building next to her. She ran to a fire escape and stumbled up the stairs. She peaked over the edge of brick wall and saw a battle field. There were hundreds of Kraang with the same strange weapons as the one she met. They were firing their weapons at four things in the middle of the scene. Lena squinted her eyes and saw they were people. Wait, no they weren't. She looked closer and gasped; she disappeared behind the wall and bit her nails. Did she really see what she just saw? She looked up again at the battlefield and saw the four figures scattered around, fighting the Kraang. She slid back down the wall and confirmed her suspicion, they were turtles.

But they could walk, talk, and fight. Were they some type of mutants? She remembered the Kraang saying something about turtles; the Kraang must be enemies with these mutants. She didn't want to look back up at the fight; it was too startling to look at. But she was still curious about how these turtles fought. It seemed to be some sort of spinoff of Karate or something. Her mind raced as a Kraang head fell from the scene above. She saw it land with a thud on the ground, spilling out all the gears in its head.

Noticing the quietness from above, the fight must have been over. She peaked her head above the wall and saw the Kraang in pieces scattered around the area. The only thing standing, were the four mutant turtles. She couldn't pick out any details of the turtles even though there was a dim light above them. She could tell they were speaking to each other but couldn't tell what they were saying. Wanting to see the turtles, she pulled out her phone and clicked on her camera app. She zoomed in on the turtles and squinted at the phone. Maybe I should have increased my brightness, she scowled at herself, oh well, I can do that later.

At that moment, everything was in slow motion. She clicked the button and heard her phone make a camera clicking sound. But that sound wasn't quiet, oh no, it was on full blast from when she showed her friends one of her songs. She saw the turtles freeze and whisper to each other. She saw a figure disappear, and it made her unsettled. She backed up from the edge and put her phone in her pocket. She was so scared that she was breathing in ragged breaths and her heart was pounding. She heard a thump behind her and she froze. She slowly turned around and saw one mutant turtle that was nose to nose with her.

Shit

The turtle was her height but definitely was stronger than her. He had a red mask on that tied in the back. His eyes were an unsettling green that bore through her dull olive eyes. He was broad and bulky like he had years of weight lifting. His plastron had a small crack on the side and scratches all over it. In his hands were two sais that had an angry gleam. She backed up slowly until she hit the brick wall. The turtle mimicked her moves till they were nose to nose again. His eyes searched hers as her heart pounded in her chest.

"Give me the phone," he growled at her.

Lena's eyes widened as she figured out what he wanted. She pulled her phone out and gripped it tight. The turtle laid out his hand and glared at Lena until she lightly put her phone into his hand. He curled his hand around the phone and threw it at the wall behind her. Lena made a small scream as she heard it hit the brick wall. She turned around to see her phone in pieces on the ground.

Her glass screen was shattered and laid in pieces next to it. Her screen itself had no glass protecting it and was shattered too. The right corner of her phone was smashed in. She got to her knees and then held her phone in her two hands. Lena pressed the home button, hoping for her light to go on, but it didn't. Not even a flicker. She didn't cry, nor did she "blow up" about her smashed phone; but she admitted she was very sad about it. Lena furrowed her brow and stood up. She heard three whooshes behind her.

"Raph! Was that necessary?" unknown voice #1 yelled.

"Yes," she heard her culprit answer.

She heard someone scoff at the red-masked turtle. Lena was still looking at her phone when her sadness melted into anger. She paid for this phone, not her mom or dad. She paid for it with her own money. It was her phone. AND SOMEONE HAS TO PAY.

Lena dropped the phone from her hands and spun on her heal. She saw the four turtles, but her vision was centered on the red-masked one in front of her. She took long, quick strides to reach the turtle and poked his plastron.

"Why did you do that?" she growled at him, making him stare at her with wide nervous eyes. The nervousness in his face melted to anger as he countered her.

"Because you took a picture of us!"

"Yeah, but did you have to throw my phone INTO A WALL?!"

"YES I DID!"

She huffed in his face as she pushed on his shoulders.

"WHAT'S WRONG WITH Y-"Lena felt a sharp pain on her head as she crumpled to the ground. Her vision darkened and she passed out.
