TMNT Revealed

In the Sewers of New York

In no way was I an abnormal kid. I liked a lot of cartoons and action and such, and I even thought it was real at one point. But at some point we have to grow up. For me this meant I realized that shows like "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" weren't actually real. That realization only made me watch these shows all the more often. They came out with a new TMNT series and I started watching that as well.

I'm from New York. My name is Luke Smith. I have PDDNOS. I should start with the story now huh? I was walking around town one night and across the rooftops I saw four quickly moving shapes, not quite human, but something else. I pulled my hood up and followed them. I saw enough as the last of them descended into the sewers. I guess that saying "We're only human" applies to these things too. It, or "they," left the manhole uncovered. I was wondering what the heck these things were so much that curiosity got the better of me and I descended into the sewers.

I guess I was a little too careless, even for my standards. I lost my grip on the railing and fell five feet into a sewer line. I hit my head and lost consciousness for only those things would know how long. When I finally came to, I was surrounded by amphibious faces behind multicolored masks. When I recovered completely I realized those faces weren't Amphibious, they were Reptilian, Turtle faces to be exact.

Strange thing is, they showed concern, human concern. The masks finally settled to one color each. And realizing who these Creatures were, I flipped out.

"Calm down!" Said Leonardo in the blue mask.

"You're… Real!" I said.

"You know about us?" Donatello, the one in purple asked with intrigue.

Raphael, in the red, grabbed me by the coat. "Who are you!? And how did you find us!?" He asked, violently.

"Raphael! Enough!" said a voice in the next section of the Turtles' lair. Out of the shadows came a figure, it was humanoid in structure, but completely Rat-like in appearance. Apparently he still thought of himself as human, he was wearing a kimono with a lotus insignia on the back.

"This boy stumbled upon something only one other person knows about; we need him alive to see if he is a threat." Splinter said.

"We could search him Sensei," Michelangelo, in orange suggested.

"That will not be necessary, Michelangelo, we will just interrogate him."

"My way?" Raph asked slamming his fist into his hand.

"No my way." Leo said putting his hand on Raph's Shoulder.
