I don't own Avatar or TMNT no matter how much I want to. Oh yeah this is all human au, and I'm going to try and add layers to this story as we go along since I already have the whole thing planned out in my head. So please let me know what I need to fix so my writer skills can get better and please no flames I don't know if my self esteem can handle it. Please and Thank you!

Ten years ago all the nations lived in peace but then the fire nation attacked, destroying all peace and harmony amongst each other. The avatar had died before the attack and was supposedly never reborn into the air nation. But other rumors lay scattered around of what the avatars last known words to the people were before his death. "The cycle shall end and a new take its place" Tales began to spread of the avatar never returning or someone new taking his place, hidden by the fire nation, or that the avatar is still living and false claims of witnessing the avatar in action. My mother told me stories of the Avatar and their duty to protect the people and bring harmony. So I have hope that someone will help and that the Avatar did not leave the citizens to fend for themselves, and will return. And be the hero my mother always said the Avatars always were.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~There was fire everywhere. That much I could tell, all the buildings I grew up in are being reduced to ashes. All those years of happiness, all that time of chasing butterflies and watching the others bend is crashing down in front of me like all of the emotion that was ever felt there never mattered, all those memories never mattered to whatever force it was that decided to end it. I could feel tears streaming down my face as panic and fear took over. My Mother told me wait by the tree saying she'd be back soon. I was reluctant to believe her but she managed to convince otherwise despite the situation, but that didn't make me any less fearful as she left. Telling me she loved me as she hugged me one last time, making her way down the hill. I didn't know how long its been since she left but every second she wasn't here felt like hours in my mind. I heard screams and saw people running, at the base of what was left of the buildings. The Masters that my Mother had told me to call, standing tall using the element I had grown to love so much against figures I didn't recognize. Not that I tried to. But the more the screams went on, the more I wanted it to stop.

"Michelangelo"

I wanted to drown out all the sounds and sights. But the harder I tried to quiet the screams, the louder they got.

"Michelangelo!"

Why won't it stop!

"Michelangelo!" I woke with a jolt, sitting up. I noticed I was in my room.

"Are you alright my son?" Splinter asked with concern evident in his brown eyes. But I didn't completely register what he said. 'Just a dream.' I thought and tried to calm my breathing. Master Splinter was still waiting for me to respond and I couldn't remember what he asked me.

"wha?.." I said with a confused stare. Clearly noticing I had no idea what he was talking about decided on a different direction.

"It is alright. Come, let us eat." As he motioned me to the door. Me, glad for the change of subject, threw off the messy covers and followed after him. I'm still pretty short compared to Sensei, with my head reaching to a little bit above his shoulders, but then again Splinter is pretty tall being 6'5'. We made our way into the kitchen I saw a kettle and a tea cup sitting on the table. Which isn't too unexpected since Sensei is an early riser and seems to have a big thing for tea. I made my way to the cupboard. I saw some eggs, 'eh why not?'

"Hey Master Splinter, how do want you want your eggs?"

"How ever you feel is best" Was his simple response. I just shrugged it off and decided on scrambled, and got cooking. I yawned.

"So Sensei, how was your morning? Meet any cool spirits. Like that panda dude you told me about." I asked knowing about his early morning meditation sessions, he told me that he can sometimes talk to spirits or something like that. He used to try to get me to meditate with him but everytime he did. I couldn't get the staying awake thing and by the end each session there was usually snoring.

"Michelangelo, what have I said about respecting the spirits?" Came his stern voice. 'Oops' I sighed and responded with what he's told me a billion times before. "That all spirits are to be respected as carriers of great wisdom"

"Yes and you shall continue to do so unless you want great misfortune to come your way." He said in a way that only one with great wisdom would could carry. I shrugged it off but responded anyway. "Yes Sensei" But was quickly distracted afterwards.

"Ooh eggs are done" I said a smile making its way onto my face. Putting them on two plates and handing one to master splinter.

"Bon appetit, Sensei!" I yelled out before distracting all my senses into the food in front of me. I think I heard him chuckle, but I didn't think much about it because right now food is all thats important to me. After about five minutes I'm all done, and I could feel the happy smile on face. I look at Splinter's and he still has some left and I could feel my smile widen. I congratulated myself on winning the nonexistent race I had just won.

"My son" Splinter started 'I wonder if this is one of those conversations that I have no say in. Oh well I guess I'm about to find out.'

"What's up"

"I would like you to help me pick up more supplies at the market" 'oh that's and here I was hoping for something fun to do' Splinter continued. "Then afterwards, we will train with our bending."

My eyes widened when he said 'Did I hear him right?' I could my hopes rising as I could feel the excitement building up that I could barely sit still now.

"Are your serious Sensei?" He simply nodded in response.

"Yes!" I yelled. Now I couldn't wait to get going. Ever since Master Splinter took me in all those years ago, I've had to beg and do everything physically possible to convince to train and practice bending. We do practice but not nearly as often as I'd like so I've been itching to use them whenever possible, but It would always be 'too risky'. We usually practice in the forest so no one can see us. So he usually taught me about ninjutsu, which is pretty cool but it's not bending, and besides it's not like there's much to do here. We do live in a pretty small earth kingdom town up north. But Splinter says it's important to know how to defend yourself without using bending. But right now I just want to get going.

"Okay lets get going Master Splinter we don't have all day!" I yelled out already on my feet running towards the door.

"Calm yourself my son. Remember good things come to those who wait." He said with a smile on his face as he took his time to get to the door. As I silently wished for time go faster.

Okay first chapter please let me know what I need to work on in future chapters. Oh yeah this is Michelangelo's POV so the next chapters are going to go into the others' and they're lives.
