Prologue: The Missing Kitten…
Time: 10:08 p.m.
Date: March 12th, 2002.
Location: New York City.
POV: Master Splinter...
Let's just say that I was lucky it wasn't too loud out that night, otherwise I would have missed her.
It was very late on the night of March 12th, 2002, yet another night that would change my life forever. I was scrounging for food, for me, and my four, wild, five-year-old sons.
Why was I scrounging for food may you ask? Well, that's a long story.
You see my name is Hamato Yoshi, I was born in Japan. I lived there with my parents, and younger adoptive brother, Oroku Saki. Me and Saki were very close. That is, until something drove us apart. It was the love of a woman.
Her name was Tang Shen. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen, and apparently Saki felt the same way, because that led to a rivalry. The rivalry grew when Shen chose me over him. The final straw was when he found out about his true family, The deadly Foot Clan, our biggest rivals. And he was their heir.
Meanwhile, Tang Shen and I were married, and we had a lovely daughter named Miwa. We couldn't have been happier.
That is, until Saki struck for the final time. In the dead of night, he came to kill me, and take Shen and Miwa all for himself. Instead, it backfired horribly, for both of us. Tang Shen was caught in the battle, and dead before dawn. Little one-year-old Miwa had vanished in the flames as well.
Filled with grief, I decided to come to New York City, to start a new life, away from my brutal past. A few days after I got there, I decided to purchase four baby turtles from a nearby pet shop. On my way home, I was attacked by some strange men, with a canister of glowing green ooze. When the ooze touched me and the baby turtles, it changed us all.
Now, I am a humanoid rat, a rat having been the last thing I touched before the mutation (I had accidentally stepped on one in the alleyway where the ooze was), and the turtles, with me being the last thing they touched, became humanoid turtles.
Knowing that they would never be accepted into the world, I decided that I would raise them in secret, training them in the ways of ninjutsu, keeping them down in our new home (the sewers), until the time was right.
Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo. My sons. My four, amazing sons. Even though Shen and Miwa were gone, with them, my family was complete…
Or so I thought.
That night, I had been coming home when I heard it. Normally, my ears would pick up a lot of different sounds down in the sewers, but this one got my attention…
"Mew…"It sounded like a cat, but it sounded human at the same time. Interested, I decided to investigate further.
"Mew?..."
Okay, now it sounded really close. I came to a row of tunnels, trying to locate the sound. 'What if it's hurt?' I asked in my head, worried. 'Or, it could be something dangerous. If it is, I'd better lead it away from the direction of the lair.'Suddenly, the noise started again, but this time, it was so loud I jumped. "MEOWL!" I raced in the direction of it, locating the correct tunnel, and bounded in. All there was, was puddles of disgusting sewer water (I didn't even go near those) and piles of trash. But...wait...one of them was moving!
I went over and knelt down beside it, nervous. "Okay" I thought. "It's now or never…" And with that, I moved away the junk. When I saw what exactly was underneath, I gasped.
It was a small, baby, humanoid cat. She had bright white fur (somewhat dirty at that point), and sparkling blue, tear filled eyes. She was so small, couldn't have been more than a few months old. She was crying and kicking in the pink blanket she was wrapped in. And next to her, was a folded up note. When I opened it, this was what it said inside:
March 11, 2002. I don't know much about this kitten (and don't really care), but here are some things you should know: 1. She is three months old. 2. Her birthday is December 8, 2001. 3. Her name is Victoria. Good luck,
To Whom it May Concern,
March 11, 2002.'March 11?!'This poor baby girl had been left here for an entire day in the cold and dark, alone! She now began to cough, and was sobbing. 'Come on Yoshi, you have to do something!' I thought.
So I did.
I gathered the baby girl in my arms and ran as fast as I could to the lair.
I stayed up the entire night, making sure the little one was okay. She cried a bit, but other than that, everything was okay. She was very small, and sick. To think that someone would abandon her. How had she gotten to the sewers in the first place? Had she been a normal cat before her mutation? Or had she been a normal human baby girl? Who and where was her real family? So many questions, and none could be answered at the time.
Somewhere around 3:00 a.m., I realized that she had nowhere to go. If she went out on her own at this age, she could hurt herself. Or something could hurt her. But my real fear was if someone discovered her. If that happened, she couldn't do anything about it. Her life would be utterly ruined.
Just then, I had a thought. 'What if she stayed here?' Time: 3:29 a.m.

I smiled down at him. He was always concerned if someone in his family was worried about something. I was at my sister's home, sitting with her two sons, Alonzo, his baby brother Mistoffelees, and their friend Cassandra.
"Yes Alonzo, I'm okay. I'm just worried for Victoria." I said. "Demeter, is Victoria ever coming back?" asked Cassandra. Now this was the dreaded question everyone had been dwelling on. It had been exactly 72 hours since my brother-in-law, Macavity (the most feared villain in all of London for cats) attacked us and stole Victoria. Her parents have been going out of their minds with worry, but my husband Munkustrap was not stopping his search just yet.
I might have just spoken too soon when he came in with his brother, my sister's husband. She went up to him and asked what happened.
Munkustrap's face looked pained. "Still no sign of her."
"Munk, this can't go on forever. If we don't find her…" I started, but couldn't continue. "No Demeter." said Munk. "It's my job to locate her, no matter how long. Because that's what a protector does. And I'm this tribes protector so it's my job to do it."
I nodded. "Okay. Don't worry, we will find her eventually, and when we do, it will be awesome."
"Besides," said Munkustrap brother, Tugger, "you two have got something to keep you busy, so be prepared."
"Shut up, Tugger! Dem didn't tell him yet!" shouted my sister, Bombalurina. Munk looked confused. "What?" he asked.
Bomba and I started to giggle. Oh, I had a secret alright!
I just, wanted to wait for the right moment to tell him, but, I guess now's a good time…
"Munk, you're going to be a father!"

"Boys, what have I said told you about sneaking into each other's rooms early in the morning?" I asked, amused.
My four sons we're sitting on the bed in Michelangelo's room. I had been up getting ready for the surprise when my ears detected that they were up, and all four of them snuck into one of their rooms to talk (or whisper by the look of it). They had looks of surprise on their faces from being caught.
"It wasn't my fault, Daddy!" said Leonardo. "It was Donnie's idea!" Donatello quickly slapped his hands over Leonardo's mouth. "Daddy, Leo's not telling the truth, it was-"
I held up my hand and cut him off. "It's okay, none of you will be punished. Now, I want all four of you to come into the dojo with me. I have a surprise for you." Michelangelo's face lit up. "Did our mutation day come early?!" he asked. His older brother's faces lit up as well.
"No, but this is even more surprising! Come on!" I said, taking Donatello and Michelangelo's hands and running to the dojo with them, Leonardo and Raphael following quickly. "Oaky, so what's going on?" asked Raphael. Raphael got angry when Leonardo started going ahead of him. As he fell behind, he growled, gritted his teeth, and ran faster than ever to keep up with his older brother (by ten minutes).
"Okay. I want you all to close your eyes." I said when we got there. "Why?" asked Donatello.
Secretly, I was most excited for Donatello to see this, because he's been wanting this for a very long time now. He's only ever told me because he was scared that his brothers were going to tease him for it, and they already teased him enough for a bunch of different things.
"You'll see, Donatello. Let's just say that you're going to be most excited about this." I said. His brothers looked confused, but Donatello suddenly looked a little surprised. "Me?" he asked.
I nodded. "Now, close your eyes." All four of them shut their eyes tight. Leonardo put his little hands on Michelangelo's face so he couldn't cheat and open his eyes.
I turned around and went into my room. The baby girl meowed when I came in to get her. I gently lifted her up and held a finger to my lips to keep her quiet. She giggled as if understanding me. I went quietly back out to the dojo and placed her down on the floor. The boys still had their eyes closed.
"Okay my sons, on the count of three, you can open your eyes. One...two…..three! Open!" I said. The boys gasped when they saw the baby girl.
"Boys, meet your new baby sister Victoria." I said proudly. Victoria laughed with delight when she saw her new brothers.
None of them moved for a minute. They all just stood there, gaping at Victoria. Then, Donatello squealed with joy, ran over to me, and hugged my legs. "THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! YOU KNEW I WANTED A BABY SISTER, YOU KNEW, YOU KNEW, YOU KNEW!"
He went over to Victoria and sat on the floor in front of her. She was absolutely tiny compared to him, and he was very small. "Hi, Victoria," he said, gently patting her head. I smiled with pride. He was being very careful with her, just like a big sibling should be.
"My name is Donatello, but you can call me Donnie when you're older. I'm so happy you're here, because I've always wanted a baby sister. Someday, we're going to be best friends, no matter what. I promise…"

POV: Demeter…
"Mommy! Something's happening to Misto and Tanto!" screamed Electra.
My heart leapt, suddenly panicked. Nothing bad had happened with Misto's magic for over a year now, but we're all on alert after what happened last time...best not tell you about that right now. My sister Bombalurina and I stood and ran to where my older daughter Electra led us to. My nephew Misto and Electra's friend Tantomile were lying on the ground unconscious. Tantomile's older twin brother Coricopat was kneeling at their sides, feeling their pulses. By now, a crowd had gathered. The looked very curious about what was going on.
Bomba began to freak out. "Tugger! Get over here NOW!" she screamed, then also kneeled down to aid her younger son (Misto, in case you forgot). "I don't get it at all!" shouted Cori, also very worried. "They were both fine just seconds ago...but…" Tugger, my brother-in-law ran up to help Misto. Electra was in tears, scared for her cousin and friend.
"Mommy, are they going to be okay?" she asked me. I hugged her. "Yes, Electra, they'll both be okay. Now, why don't you get your mind off all this and go play with your sister?" I said. She nodded, her eyes still glistening with a few tears. "Okay." she said quietly, then ran off to find her younger sister (my younger daughter), Sillabub.
Suddenly, Misto woke up and gasped. Tantomile also sat up. The were both holding their heads and moaning. "Misto! What happened?!" asked Tugger, helping his younger son stand up. "I don't know. It was like Tanto and I just...I don't even know…" Misto trailed off.
"What's going on?!" we heard Munkustrap shout. Everyone parted to let him through. He walked slowly to the center of the crowd. "Is everyone okay? What happened?" he asked, concerned that someone was harmed.
"Magic incident." said Bomba. "Misto and Tanto were involved this time." Misto suddenly run over to Munk and shouted "Tanto's psychic powers temporarily combined with my magic! I saw some sort of vision! It had to do with VICTORIA!"
'Oh my goodness!' I thought quickly. 'Victoria?!' Suddenly, my friends, Jennyanydots and Skimbleshanks rushed forward and started bombarding Misto with questions. Munk shooed them away and said "Calm down you two, it's okay." They nodded, looking frantic.
Jenny and Skimble were Victoria's parents. They have never stopped looking for their daughter, no matter what, even when their youngest child was born two years later; Jemima. Jemima knew that she had a missing sister, but never mentioned her. But we all knew she desperately wanted to meet her. She was very quiet, and when I say quiet, I mean quiet. I don't even think the other kittens have her her voice. For the nine years of her life so far, she barely spoken, and it's because of Victoria.
Jenny wanted her, Skimble wanted her, Mungojerrie (Victoria's big brother) wanted her, Rumpleteazer (Mungojerrie's twin sister) wanted her, Jemima wanted her. All anyone wanted was to have their missing member back, after ten years now.
And now, we may have just found her.
"She's across the ocean...in America!" Misto exclaimed. We gasped. America? That was so far away! "She in some place called New York City;" he continued. "For the last ten years, she's been raised by a family of...mutants? That's what they call themselves. Their half human, half animal. Kind of like us, but with different animals. There's a mutant rat that seems to be her adoptive father, and she has four adoptive brothers, all about fourteen or fifteen. They trained her to be...a ninja?"
"You mean like the guys with black masks and really cool fighting moves? Like in the comic books I read?" asked one of the kittens, Pouncival. He was good friend with Electra.
"Yes." said Misto. Suddenly, everyone jumped when a small voice spoke up.
"Munkustrap, will we go get her?!" It was Jemima.
The other kittens stared in awe. I even heard a few of them whispering things like "Did you hear that?" and "I didn't even think she could ever talk!"Munkustrap nodded. "Of course, Jemima. We'll bring her back here if it's the last thing I do."
"Daddy, how are we going to get her?" asked Sillabub. Munk smiled at our younger daughter. "I think I might need to think that out. But I do know that I'll need a few of you to go with me." Coricopat and Tantomile raised their paws. "Okay, I have help. That's good," said Munk "But I still need to know how we're going to get there…"
Misto's paw shot into the air and began waving it through the air. "I can do it! I can fly you there! I've been practicing!" Everyone looked at him. "Okay, how did I not know about this?" asked Tugger sternly.
"Well, it's the best we've got, so let's try it." said Munk. Misto took Munk's right paw. Then he took Coricopat's left. Cori was hanging onto Tantomile. As Misto closed his eyes, he suddenly lifted off the ground! Everyone gasped again as Munk and the twins followed. Soon, they were high in the air.
Munk smiled down at us. "We'll be back with Victoria! I promise!" As we all waved goodbye, they sped off into the distance.
"Mommy, are they going to be okay?" asked Electra.
"Yes dear, they're going to be okay." I said.
"Are they really bringing back my sister?" small, innocent Jemima asked in her soft, tiny voice that made everyone jump again."Yes." I answered again. 'I hope…..'
A/N. Stay tuned!;)
Now, most people would think it would be absolutely insane to mix these two together, if you've seen them both, but if you look at it a certain way (there's only one way believe it or not), it actually works! So, I hope you like it. This was a bit rushed, but fun to write. So enjoy The Bladed Snowflake, and as always…
