CHAPTER 1: WHERE THINGS BEGIN

Everything started with the sound of an alarm clock beeping in the distance, the young girl under the covers started to realise that that beeping noise was not part of her dream and let her arm come from under the covers to try and hit the button to stop the noise getting louder. As her hand came in contact with the alarm clock it also sent it flying of the bed side table, but the noise was still going.

"Ah for god sake" she growled lifting up the covers to get out of bed and shut the clock up. As she picked up the clock she hit the button and placed it back on its spot, she then made her way towards the window she pulled back the curtains revealing the large city of New York under a gray sky. As she turned from the window she was met by two small cats eyes.

"Hey there klunk" placing her hand on the young kittens head and stroking her and hiring her purr like an engine. As she exited her bedroom still wearing a pink tanktop and shorts to match. She walked past her living room and into her small kitchen. she switched on her coffee machine and placed a mug ready. She could feel klunk rubbing against her leg to get her attenchun. "here you go sweetie" placing the cat boll on the floor. her sweet smile run across her face as she watched klunk eat her food. Picking up her now full mug of coffee she headed towards the living room and switching on tv to see what was on the news.

A little later she was all dressed in a white and black dress and her long light brown hair was up in a ponytail, she was now ready to walk to work, as she said goodbye to klunk and locked her apartment door, she wondered down the steps waving at one of her many neighbors, As she walked out the door and on to the street, she looked up at the dark clouds, and felt a raindrop fall on to her arm. Opening up her umbrella she started walking to work.

Arriving at the caffe an old simple building found in the downtown part of New York. she walked in she was greeted by a young and handsome guy with black hair and a light brazilian tan. " Hey Mona, how ya goin" he asked her with a charming smile. " i'm good and you Jake" she replied with a smile of her own. " i'm good too" he answered. As she continued throw to the back where she came up to her locker pulling her apron out and tying it around the waist. heading back the way she came, mona collected the tray and the few plates on the side and started placing them in front of the customers and took their orders.

In another part of New York, in the sewers were 4 brothers training under the attentive eyes of their father and sensei. as he pronounced the werde "yammer" his sons sised what they were doing and approached there master splinter and kneel in front of him. As he complimented all of them for their improvements he then dismissed them and left to go meditate.

The four brothers left the dojo heading all to different parts of there lair. The olive skinned and purple masked turtle named Donatello headed to his lab to continue his work on the mutagen to find a cure for his human friend April O'neil father. The light green skinned and orange masked turtle Michelangelo who was known as the baby brother jumped over the couch and on to the floor picking up a playstation controller and turning it on to play his favorite game.

The other two brothers had nearly the same dark green coloured skin, the more darker of the two had a red mask and named Raphael he was also the second oldest, he walked over near Michelangelo and sat on the couch piking up his comic and continuing to read where he left of. The oldest and the leader wore a blue mask his name Leonardo he went to read in his room.

A wile latter in Donnis lab the mutagen tracker started to light up and make a ding noise, don lifted his helmet and placed his welding gear to the side and rushed over to the tracker. "Hey guys" he yelled out running into the sitting area, the others turned around to see what was up, "the tracker picked up a signal for some mutagen not to far from here" he explained to his brothers in a pleased voice. "Alright lets go" leo ordered. They all ran after don throw the sewers and up throw a manhole cover and then climbed to the roof tops.

Mona had nearly finished her shift, when a group of men walked in. as they made them selve comfortable in the corner, they called out to her, she approached them nervously, seeing purple dragon tattoos on on them, knowing they were the worst gangs in New York. "what will it be " she asked trying to hide her nerves. "how about you, babe" the young man with a mohawk on her right said giving her a devious look, she shivered with disgust. she tried to keep her calm when another looked to her and told her they would have 6 beagles and soda. As she turned to leave the man on the right tried to pull her to him, she quickly moved out of his reach. As she got to the bar she hissed in annoyance, "you all right Mo" Jake assed with concern as he looked from her to the table with the purple dragons. "yeah, i'll just give them what they ordered and then i'll head home" she said trying to convince Jake and mostly her self that opfully the will leave her be. but that was not to happen.

As she walked back to their table with their order, she placed it on the table feeling there dirty looks all over her, she felt uneasy, as she put the last drink down and turned around to leave, she felt a hand slap her butt, and in a second flat her empty tray had collided with the owner off the hands face. there was a complete silence in the room as everyone looked to her and the man with the mohawk lying on the floor unconscious. As she tried to walk away as fast as possible, she felt a hand holding her arm she looked upto him in fear to what could happen."no one hurts the dragons and gets away with it" a large man in a black top and pants. "let me go" she said as she tried to get his hand of of her, but he just tightened it. "you're hurting me" she yelled " that's the last of your worries babe" he assured coldly, the men around him all held devilish smiles. "Let her go" they heard from behind her. As they looked up they saw Jake holding a gun at them. the man gave him a mean smirk, as he let Mona go. she ran quickly to Jake's side,

"don't move " he told them in a firm voice, hiding the fear creeping in. Mona get out of here" he told her scared for her. "what about you" she whispered in his ear. "it will be all right" he told her knowing very well that that was not true. She grabbed her bag, and before running out the door she gave him a kiss on the cheek, as she wasn't sure if she would see him ever again, they had worked together for a few years and he was like an older brother she never had giving her advice on her love life and other things. as she ran throw the street tears running down her face, she didn't know if she should go home or hide else ware. she was so scared.

She turned down an ally to catch her breath, when she heard some strange robot noise behind her, as she turned to see there where two identical men in suits looking at her. "um, i'm sorry fellers, i will just be leaving" as she turned back round there two more men stood " krang, the one called human will be perfect for krangs testes" one said as she was about to run from them, she felt a sting in her arm and she felt drowsy, she felt them pic her up and then throw her in a van before everything went from blurry pink to pitch black.

they had found the mutagen before a pizza delivery boy picked it up. they were now following him. they watched from a rooftop as he came to a stop in front of a block of flats, he picked up the pizza on his bike and walked up the steps to the door, pressing on a button, a few seconds after the door opened and the boy walked in the door shutting behind him.

"wright this is our chance" Leo said. they jumped down staying in the shadows. Mikey quickly grabbed it, "i got it" mikey said with a cheery voice. as he headed back to his brothers, they all looked up to hear a squeak from tyers. as a white van drives by at hi speed. "wasn't that a krang van" Donatello asked his brothers as he looked at the van. "let's follow it" Leo said climbing back up the building and watching where the van was. they had followed the van all the way to the docs before it vanished.

"now what do we do" asked Raph annoyed, Leo looked up at the sky it was going to be light soon. "will come back tomorrow and see if we can find anything" Leo said in a calm but frustrated voice, Raph just humped in frustration, the krang had been getting away from them to often lately. they got to a near by man hole and jumped down into the sewers once more.
