I woke to the sound of screaming. I jumped up and looked around my bedroom. At least, I thought it was my room. The walls were a brownish green and there was alot of comic books scattered across the floor. It looked like I had woke in Lloyd's childhood bedroom. The only difference was the stench of trash nearby and the puniching bag hanging in the corner.

I shook my head and focused on the sound of screaming. Even if I had somehow teleported to some kid's bedroom - most likely the effect of some spell Zane had messed up on - it was my job to help those in need.

I ran out of the room and into a huge living room. It looked nothing like any house I had ever seen, and I traveled the world with Sensei and the team. The source of the screaming, a lime green humanoid turtle with darker green freckles, was running around in a circle in the middle of the room.

Two more humanoid turtles ran in from different rooms near the one I came out of. Both turtles looked worried as they ran in, but that worry soon transformed into shock at the sight of the screaming turtle.

"A humanoid turtle?! Is there really such a thing?" The darker green turtle of the three spoke, eyes locked on the lime green turtle.

"This is impossible! Serpentine are one thing, but there have never been humanoid turtles!" The tallest turtle, who also had a gap in his teeth and wore a purple ninja mask, looked just as shocked as the turtle next to him. This was especially evident when the masked turtle turned and looked at the turtle he'd spoken to. "Gah! Who are you all?!"

The first turtle who spoke finally took his gaze away from the smaller, screaming turtle and looked towards the third turtle with shocked emerald eyes. He stepped back from the turtle as if retreating from a foe. The other turtle looked at him, pale blue eyes wide, and proceeded to do the same.

I walked over to get a better look at the turtles. There was something about their eyes that drew my attention. The emerald eyes sparkled with a determination of a leader being confronted by a strange creature. The pale blue showed a curiousity about the situation that a scientist, an adventurer, or even a young robot might have. This made me feel a bit nervous. I recognized those eyes, but the rest of them was a mystery. With a sigh, I grabbed something reflective that was laying on the floor - an old shiny laptop - and held it up so the three of us could see ourselves. I nearly dropped the laptop at the sight of myself.

I had dark green skin, no hair, a turtle shell with a crack in the plastron, and three fingers on each hand. The only thing that was recognizable was my handsome brown eyes.

We each looked at each other, each screaming a single word in unison. The only person who seemed to put up with me and my team.

"Sensei!"

-o-O-o-

"Kai, wake up." I groaned and rolled over in bed. I didn't know who was in my bed trying to shake me awake and calling me names, but I was not in the mood to get up.

"Let me sleep." I put the pillow over my head.

"Kai..." The person, possibly male, sighed. I felt a weight lift from one side of the bed. "Sensei wanted us to be up ages ago. We have a meeting with Skylar after lunch."

I groaned and opened my eyes. I sat up and looked around the room. It seemed simple, white walls with a few pictures here and there of some humans that I had never seen before. There was a desk, a dresser, and a vanity. A man stood at the vanity, struggling slightly with getting a green t-shirt on. I chuckled lightly, then froze. I don't usually chuckle, especially at something a human did. Whatever, it is what it is.

I slipped out of bed and walked over to the vanity. With a quick tug, I helped the man with his shirt. He smiled at me and walked over to the closet. I rolled my eyes and turned to look at the vanity's mirror. I was shocked at the sight.

I looked... human? I had tan skin and five fingers on each hand, so I must have been human. I also had messy chocolate brown hair that stuck up everywhere. Good thing Leo couldn't see it, he'd tell me to get a haircut. The only part of me that showed my life as a turtle was my bright green eyes.

The man came out of the closet wearing the t-shirt and a pair of jeans. He held out an outfit to me.

"What's this for?"

"Kai, I refuse to be seen with you if you don't change out of your pajamas. Besides, I always pick out your clothes while you try to figure out your hair." The man explained, setting the clothes on the vanity. "I'll be in the dining room if you need me."

I sighed and looked at the clothes as he walked off. There was a plain white t-shirt, jeans, and a dark red sweatshirt. I smirked, at least the guy knew my favorite color. I changed quickly, or as quickly as someone who never wore clothes before could.

Once I was dressed, I walked down the hall, searching for the dining room. Instead, I ended up finding a training room, which was perfect for me to blow off steam about my current situation. I walked into the room and over to a punching bag. I punched the bag as hard as I could, but it didn't move as much as the one at home did. Not to mention, my hand hurt like hell now. I bit my lip to keep from shouting out in pain.

"Kai?" A wise old voice spoke behind me. I whipped around to see the man standing at the door. He wore a Chinese hat and a white robe, his long white beard covered a portion of the front of the robe. "What are you doing here? Lloyd said you were meeting him in the dining room."

"Couldn't find it." I spoke bluntly, not really wanting to talk to the guy despite what Splinter had taught me about respecting your elders.

"What do you mean?"

"Look." I began, glaring at the old man with anger growing in my eyes. "I'm NOT this 'Kai' person that you think I am! I don't know what's going on or why I'm even here! All I want is to return to my brothers and Sensei before they realize I'm gone!"

"Calm down. I'm sure we can find what happened and how to get you home." The old man spoke with concern upon his face. "Come now. We must gather the rest of the team."

"Wait... team?"
