Chapter 1 Mona Lisa is back

Within the sewers of New York City there lived five mutants. Four of the mutants were turtles and the final mutant was a giant rat who was once a human named Hamato Yoshi a ninjutsu master for the Foot Clan who was banished because of his arch enemy Oroku Saki because he made their leader believe that Hamato Yoshi was trying to kill him when a dagger was found behind his back. Hamato Yoshi moved to New York City and lived in the sewers with the rats. One day four little baby turtles were washed into the sewers after a child accidently dropped a glass bowl causing it to shatter and for his new pets to be washed away forever. Yoshi felt sorry for the little turtles and decided to keep them as his pets and he loved them as if they were his children. Eventually they came across barrels of this pink ooze. Yoshi saw that his pets became covered in this ooze and tried to get it off of the turtles. After getting the ooze off of them something strange was happening. Hamato Yoshi and his four pets started to change. All of a sudden Hamato Yoshi changed into a giant humanoid rat and his turtles also became humanoid as well. After that Hamato Yoshi trained the turtles in the art of ninjutsu because he believed that they needed to be able to defend themselves due to the fact that Yoshi believed society wouldn't accept them for who they were. Since Hamato Yoshi loved Italian Renaissance Artwork and named his four pet turtles after Renaissance painters, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello and Michelangelo.

The turtles went on many adventures and fought a lot of bad guys who would do anything to get what they wanted including harming other people. One night Raphael met a girl named Mona Lisa on a ship because he won a prize which was an invitation to a costume party. Raphael and Mona Lisa thought that they were both wearing costumes but eventually discovered that both of them were mutants especially after Mona Lisa explained the reason why she was trying to take over the ship and how she became a mutant in the first place. Raphael felt sorry for her and decided to help Mona get back at Captain Filch who kidnapped Mona and forced her to work for him and having chemicals that caused her to mutate into a salamander. After Raphael helped Mona get back at Captain Filch she met up with him in the sewers with boxes of hot pizza which made all the turtles especially Raphael happy because he thought Mona died when she blew up Captain Filch's submarine. "I'm happy to see that you're alive Mona. I thought that you perished after you blew up Captain Filch's submarine" Raphael said to Mona as they were eating. "I managed to escape before the explosion thanks to a mini sub. After I escaped I ran into April and she brought me back to your home. I wanted to see you again to thank you for helping me" Mona said while she was eating. After everyone was done eating pizza Raphael asked Mona, "What will you do now?" "I haven't really given it much thought. Since I'm a mutant I can't return to College looking like this so I was thinking of finishing my education online while trying to find a cure for my mutation" answered Mona. "Well Mona I wish you the best of luck with your education and finding a cure. If you ever come back to New York look us up" said Raphael. "I promise to come back one day and maybe we can hang out" Mona said as she winked at Raphael causing him to blush before leaving.

As time went on Mona did complete her education online and earned a Degree in Biology. After that Mona began to work on trying to create a cure for her mutation but sadly she failed. A few years went by and Mona was no closer to finding a cure. "I think I should go see the turtles. Maybe they can help me especially Donatello since Raphael told me he's the smart one of the group and it would be nice to see Raphael again" Mona said to herself while blushing a bit at the thought of the ninja turtle that helped her out a few years back. Later on Mona packed her bags, wore a cloak with a hook to hide her face and made the trip to New York City to see her friends the turtles and maybe getting some help to create a cure for her mutation. "Who's there?" the turtles said when all of a sudden a person who they didn't recognize showed up in the lair. "It's me Mona Lisa. I told you guys I would come back" said Mona as she took off her hood. "Mona it's great to see you again. How are you?" Raphael asked. "I'm doing ok. I finished my education online which is the good news. The bad news is I'm nowhere close to finding a cure for my mutation since I still look like a lizard. Besides visiting you and your friends I need Donatello's help in finding a cure that way I can be human again" said Mona. "Will you please help me in creating a cure for my mutation Donatello?" "Of course I will but it's going to take time and you might have to stay with us for a while if that is ok with you?" Donatello asked Mona. "I'm ok with that. I have nowhere else to go" answered Mona. The turtles inform Master Splinter that were going to have a guest staying with them for a little while which Splinter was ok with and he welcomed Mona Lisa with open arms that Mona was very grateful for.

Author's Note: Here is the first chapter of my newest fan fiction based on the 1987 series of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The reason why I'm writing this story is because a while ago I received an email from somebody who calls himself Retro Mania and he asked me if I can write a fan fiction based on this series of TMNT that includes Mona Lisa in her quest to finding a cure for herself. I will be including other characters in my newest story that he suggested. Retro Mania this fan fiction is for you. I do take requests for fan fiction so if any of you out there has an idea for a story based on TMNT or any other cartoons, movies, TV shows etc. that you're into send me a message and I'll see if I can come up with a fan fiction. I also welcome comments and suggesting for my upcoming chapters to my fan fiction. Stay tune for my next update and I hope that you like what I wrote.
