Donnie opened his eyes with a moan. It was pitch black. Donnie sat up but fell back down when his head hit the top of the crate he was apparently in. Donnie rubbed his head and felt along the wall of the small crate he was in.

"Wha-?" Donnie muttered. "How did I get here?" he asked himself. Donnie banged on the wall of the wooden box. "Hey! Let me out of here!" He shouted.

"Donnie?" Mikey's voice called from outside the crate.

"Mikey? Where are you?" Donnie called.

"Uuh...No idea dude. I'm in some kind of wooden crate thing. What about you?" Mikey called back.

"Same here. Do you remember how we got here?"

"No. My minds a blank..."

"When isn't it?!" Raph's voice came in. Sounding a little farther away from Donnie because he was on the opposite side of Mikey.

"Raph! Your here too?" Mikey said.

"I think we're all here." Leo's voice cut in.

"Yeah. But the question is. Where are we? And Why are we here?" Donnie said.

"Don't know and don't care! I'm bustin' out!" Raph growled and Donnie could here him pounding on his crate.

"Hey! What's the big...huh? Where am I?" Ninja's confused voice said.

"Ninja? Your here? Now who are we missing?" Mikey said.

"Is Fin here? I never heard him." Leo said.

They all heard a yawn and a little shuffling. then they heard a loud thump and someone falling. "YOUCH!"

"Found him." Mikey said.

"Mikey? Was that you? Where are we?" Fin called out.

"We don't know." mikey said.

A loud rumbling sound came from all around them and the ground began to shake. The shaking subsided but the rumbling continued.

"uuh guys?" Donnie said, realizing what was happening. "I think we're in a plane..."

*A few hours later*

Donnie had fallen asleep by then and was snoring softly when his crate was jerked and he woke up.

"Hey! Whats going on?!" Leo called out.

No one got the chance to answer as the plane dropped them out of it and continued to fly on. Donnie's crate spun out of control. Donnie screamed and he felt the crate gain speed an plummet to the ground.

Upon collision with the ground the crate broke into a bunch of splintered pieces of wood. Donnie was lying in the middle of the broken crate. he moaned as pain shot through his muscles. Donnie sat up and rubbed his head. When Donnie had been their for a minute or two he looked around the clearing. He was in some kind of forest...but where were his brothers, Fin and Ninja? Donnie stood up and after his legs stopped shaking he took a few steps away from the remains of the crate.

"HELLOOOOOOO?" Donnie shouted.

"Donnie?" A muffled shout echoed. Donnie looked up and saw one of the crates stuck in a tall tree.

"I'm coming!" Donnie called upwards. Donnie began to climb up the tree. The crate was pretty high up. Donnie stepped on the branch under the crate and it snapped. Donnie yelped as he began to fall. But Donnie grabbed onto a branch and pulled himself up. As Donnie continued to climb back up he checked each branch before putting him weight on it.

"Dooonnieee? Are you still there or what?" mikey's voice called from the crate.

"Yeah I'm here." Donnie said as he climbed onto the branch above Mikey. he crawled across so he was directly above the crate.

"Why it take you so long bro?" Mikey asked in annoyance,

"This tree is pretty tall and I almost died trying to get all the way up here!" Donnie snapped. "You should be happy that I was near so I could get you out of there instead of you staying trapped in there forever!"

"Wait a minute. I'm in a tree? Why didn't you say so?" Mikey asked.

"Sorry. I was busy trying to get up here that it slipped my mind."

"Just get me out dude. I think I'm running out of air up here." Mikey whined.

"I'll have you out in a sec." Donnie said. "Brace yourself."

"Wait what are you..." Mikey began but didn't finish because Donnie had pushed the crate off the branch.

Donnie began to climb down. crate broke as it hit the ground. Donnie jumped down next to him.

"YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST WARNED ME!" Mikey shouted angrily.

Donnie shrugged. "You wanted to get out."

Mikey huffed and looked around. "Where are we?"

"I don't know but its getting late. We should find somewhere to camp out for the night and find the others in the morning." Donnie declared and began to walk into the trees.

"Wait for me!" Mikey cried and ran to catch up with Donnie.

Donnie an Mikey trekked on until Donnie told Mikey to stop. "You hear that?" Donnie asked.

They stood in complete silence. They heard the sound of foot steps and growls. "uuh Dude?"

"Quick! Get up in the tree." Donnie ordered.

"Don't have to tell me twice!" Mikey said and began to climb the tree Donnie had pointed to.

Donnie began following him up. they stopped when they were well away from the ground and hidden in the leaves. "sssh. Mikey look." Donnie said quietly and pointed to the ground. On the ground were a couple of strange animals. They had the shape of wolves except they had three heads and were bigger than the ordinary wolf. About five of them were sniffing the roots of the very tree the turtles were hidden in. "Don't make a sound." Donnie whispered.

The biggest of the wolves jerked its heads up to look straight at Donnie and Mikey. The two turtles stiffened and held their breaths. After what seemed like forever the Wolf turned to its pack and growled before they ran of deeper into the woods.

Mikey and Donnie let out a sigh of relief. "What were they?" Donnie asked.

"They were kind of like Hydra's...except their wolves." Hydras were three headed dragons.

"Well these hydra-wolves might come back. We should stay up here until the sun comes up." Donnie said.

"Alright. Should one of us keep watch?" Mikey asked.

"I'll take watch duty. I slept most of the time on the plane." Donnie said. "You get some sleep. I'll wake you if anything happens."

Mikey yawned and curled up at the base of the branch. He was soon fast asleep. Donnie sat down with his legs hanging over the branch and looked through the leaves at the unfamiliar stars above.

"Where are you guys..." Donnie whispered.

Donnie yawned and opened his eyes. He must have fallen asleep. Donnie then realized he was alone. Donnie looked around in panic. "Mikey? MIKEY! WHERE ARE YOU!" Donnie shouted.

Donnie hopped down from the tree just as Mikey emerged from the bushes. "Your awake." Mikey smiled.

Donnie rubbed the back of his neck. "Why did you leave the tree?"

"When I woke up I saw you had fallen asleep so I took the rest of the night on watch and didn't want to disturb you. So I found us something to eat." Mikey held out some pink berry's.

"What are they?" Donnie asked.

"I don't know. But I've been eating them all morning and I feel fine." Mikey said.

"How do you know their not poison?" Donnie said.

"Well I saw a Weird rabbit eating them and followed it. nothing happened." Mikey said.

"What do you mean by weird rabbit?"

"It had antlers." Mikey said.

"Antlers? Sounds like a jackolope but I'm pretty sure those don't even exist." Donnie said.

"Well that's what I saw. Come on Don. Just try one." Mikey said holding out a bundle of the pink berries.

"Fine. if your sure..." Donnie said and took a berry. he ate one. "These are actually pretty good." Donnie said.

"See. their fine. Here have the rest of them. I already had mine." Mikey said and handed the berries to Donnie.

"We'd better get moving." Donnie said. "We need to focus on finding water and the others."

" get going then." Mikey said.

Fin ran. the hydra-wolves were gaining on him. Fin snatched his tail away as one snapped at it. Fin stumbled over stumps and tripped over roots. His face was scratched up from where he had to run through bushed and lower branches.

"I need to get to water." Fin huffed. He could loose them by jumping into a lake or pond or even just disguise his scent in a river.

Fin made a sharp turn and gained a few feet from the wolves. He would escape up a tree but he couldn't climb. Fin tripped over a large root jutting out of the ground and fell.

Fin turned and saw the wolves had surrounded him. Fin's ankle throbbed. He had twisted it when he fell. The larger of the hydra-wolves was on top of the root and was leaning over Fin. Fin tried to scoot back but a wolf behind him growled.

The Hydra-wolf's three heads growled but then froze. Its ears pricked and it turned its head. Fin followed its gaze and saw something charging through the trees towards them. The ground trembled slightly under its weight. Fin gasped as it came into sight. It looked like a medium sized dragon. Not too big but also not too small. It's white scales shimmered in the morning sun. Its violet eyes stared into Fin's before it stared straight at the lead hydra-wolf and roared. The hydra wolf shrunk back in terror and it fled. The others bolting after it.

Fin stared after them before turning to the dragon. It was gone. Fin scratched his head in confusion. He grabbed a stick that was close to where he lay. It was long and seemed strong. Fin hoisted himself up on it and took the weight off his injured ankle. He began to hobble away. In the opposite direction the wolves had gone. He needed to get to safety. Who knows what else might live in this strange place.

"Mikey? Donnie? Fin?" Ninja shouted. " Leo? Raph?"

"Where are they?"

Ninja walked, following the river and shouting her friends names over and over. Ninja saw something in the woods and stopped.

"Guys? Donnie? Who's there? Mikey is that you?" Ninja called softly as she krept closer. "Hello? Come on guys. This isn't funny."

Ninja crept towards a shadow in the bushes. She came close and peered in. She jerked back as a pair of eyes stared out at her. That wasn't any of the guys. Ninja backed up as the figure emerged and revealed itself as a Black panther that had...a bunch of tails?

"What the heck is that..." Ninja said to herself.

The panther growled and stalked towards her. Ninja began to back away slowly. She then morphed into a grizzly bear and roared. She swiped a paw with claws unsheathed at the panther. She swatted it and it ran into the trees.

Ninja realized this place must be full of predators. So she decided it was best to stay a predator. Ninja morphed into a wolf. That way she could have more agility and speed then a bear.

Ninja went back to the river and took a quick drink before trotting alongside. Following where the water was coming from. She might be able to find a larger body of water that way. And if the turtles had any brains at all they'd search for a large source of water too.

Leo walked through the trees. He hadn't seen any sign of life besides plants. He heard birds but none of them sounded like any he ever heard before. A few minutes ago he heard a loud roar and decided it was smart to walk away from the noise and avoid whatever was able to make such a roar like that.

He had to find his brothers and Ninja before something else finds them first.

First off he would have to find water so he can keep going long enough to find them.

Leo climbed up a tall tree and perched himself at the very top. He looked over the trees. He saw a taller tree a ways off near a clearing. Leo wondered if there was some kind of pond in the clearing. Or a river. Leo was climbing down when he heard a growl. Leo kneeled on a branch and peered through the leaves at the ground. Leo's eyes widened.

On the ground was some kind of...shark. It was pretty big and was a blackish color and it stood on two legs. The fins on its side were more like arms with four clawed hands. leo stayed quiet as it passed. He was glad he was up in a tree because he caught a glimpse of the many rows of sharp teeth in its mouth.

Leo realized it was a better idea to travel up in the trees rather than the ground. If there was a land shark than what other kinds of mutants walked on the ground. Hopefully none of them could climb. Jumping through the trees was a lot easier than the ground.

Leo made it to the clearing with no sight of any other animals. Leo jumped to the ground and walked into the clearing. his eyes widened. In the middle of the clearing was a smashed crate. Leo ran over to it and looked around. He could see where whatever was in the crate had walked. The foot prints were a little scuffed up in the dirt and barely noticeable but he recognized it as one of his brothers. They were definitely mutant turtle tracks. leo looked around the clearing and saw that another crate had been smashed near the edge by the tall tree he had spotted earlier. Leo ran over to it. He looked at the prints by it. He noticed that both pairs of foot prints lead together into the forest again. leo sighed with relief. At least two of his brothers had ended up together. Leo followed the foot prints and then saw that another several pairs of foot prints were mingled in with theirs. It looked like dog tracks. Or cat tracks. Something like that.

His brothers looked like they went up a tree. Leo wondered if they had been chased up, sensed the whatever they are were coming and went up the tree to hide. Or if they just went up to camp for a night. Either way they were long gone by now.

Leo followed the tracks all day until the sun set. So he climbed a tree and roosted there for the night.

*In the morning*

Leo yawned and woke up from a rough sleep. His muscles ached from the cold and the position he had to sleep in to assure he did not fall out of the tree. Leo stretched out his arms and began climbing down from the tree.

"Alright then. I'd better get moving now so I might be able to catch up to them today." leo said to himself and followed the tracks again.

Leo walked for a few hours with little clues on how far his brothers were from him. Leo stopped when he heard a swishing in the bushes. he reached for his swords but came out with nothing. "Oh right. They must have taken our weapons. I guess we'll have to do this the old fashioned way." leo said and clenched his hands into fists. He took on a fighting stance and faced the bush. The thing in the bushes moved fast and one second its there the next its behind him. it seemed to be taunting him. "HEY! COME ON OUT!" Leo shouted.

The forest suddenly went silent. no leaves stirred. Its like whatever was just here just randomly vanished. Leo stood in puzzlement for a while until he sensed something. He turned just in time to see something hurling itself at him. Leo let out a startled scream as the thing collided with him and pinned him to the ground. Leo stared at the mutant that pinned him down.

It was some sort of lizard mutant. Roughly the same age as himself. It was green with colourful patterns on its scales. It's eyes narrowed to slits as it stared down at Leo. It held a spear to Leo's chest.

"Toku un dahari came spokera!" It said angrily. By its voice Leo can tell it was a boy.

"huh?" leo said in confusion. "I don't understand..."

"Oh...You speak English." The lizard said.

"uuh yeah...what were you just speaking?" Leo asked.

"The language of the Tengu. Demon...what's your name?" He asked.

"i'm Leonardo..." leo said.

"Are you friend or Foe?" It said suspiciously.

"All according. Are you going to kill me?" Leo asked.

"hmph. If your a foe than yes." Ray said and lowered the spear so it was touching Leo's plastron.

"I'm a friend. But if you even dare to try anything than that might change." Leo said.

Ray huffed and got off of Leo. "I haven't seen you 'round here before. You a new prisoner?"

"Prisoner?" Leo asked.

"Well not technically. But considering the humans trapped us on this island with no means of escape we might as well be." Ray said.

"We're on an island?" Leo said.

"yep. Traveled almost the entire island myself. Most of us here call it Mutant Island. the humans capture us and drop us here so we won't spoil their world. Always hated humans..." the lizard said.

"Not all of them are bad." leo said.

"Oh yeah? I've never met a single human who hasn't either betrayed me or wanted to dissect me." he said.

"Well I have!"

"I haven't. How long have ya been here anyways?"

"About two days now. Speaking of which. Have you seen any of my friends? They were brought here with me but when they dropped us from that plane we got separated." leo said.

"I never saw them. But I did here off some commotion down west of here. I also heard some mutants talking about two turtles travelling that way. They friends of yours?" the lizard asked.

"Yeah. Their my brothers. I was following their tracks. you know this place well right?"

"Like the patterns on my tail. yeah I do."

"Well can you help me find them?" leo asked.

"hhm I usually go solo. But I suppose I could help ya out."

"Great. Lets go." Leo said.

"Woah. hold it buster. you can't just go charging into unfamiliar woods by yourself. there are all sorts of predator mutants round these parts that you do not want to trifle with. Just stay close ya got it?" he said.

"Alright."

"Okay then. their heading towards the lake. if we're quick we might be able to catch up to them before they run into anything." he said and he and leo began running through the trees.

"How 'many of those friends ya got here anyways?" the lizard asked.

"Five. Mikey, Raph, Don, Fin and Ninja." Leo said.

"Just great. Well I guess I'll have to give up on my solo thing for a while."
