2012 universe mixed up with an alternate universe. My muse keeps telling me it will be fun to write. As I am in a delusional mood, I've decided to believe it. Rated T to allow me more freedom in future chapters. I do not own the turtles.
Prologue
It was a raining night in New York City. Citizens had hurried home and the streets were deserted.
Leonardo grimaced. He was alone in a dark alleyway. It shouldn't have been a reason to worry about – he was a ninja, he lived in the shadows. Except he was supposed to be at the lair right now. Comfortably seated on the couch. Watching an episode of his favorite cartoon. At least, he had been there one minute ago. Then he had been hit by a light beam and next thing he knew, he was getting soaking wet in the streets.
Do I have to thank Donnie for this? The blue-clad turtle thought glumly. Or is it Mikey who messed up with one of his experiments? Again?
He knew that part of the city. I am at least half an hour away from the lair. He hadn't his T-phone with him, so he couldn't contact his brothers. I will have to go home by foot. I better hurry before they start worrying too much. He didn't know if he should be more annoyed by the fact he had just been teleported without his consent or by the fact he was going to miss the end of his beloved show.
I'll go for both, he thought. With a sigh, he set out to walk. He couldn't help but feel that something was missing.
My katana, he realized with a pang. They are still in the lair. Even if he didn't need the weapons to defend himself, he felt naked without them. It's okay. I didn't intend to start a fight anyway. And if that should happen, I would find something else to fight with. After all, his sensei had taught him that anything could be a weapon.
Leonardo reached the nearest fire escape and took to the roofs.
He was halfway through his way home when he spotted shadows on the street below. He was curious to see who was wandering the city despite the foul weather, so he approached the edge with ninja stealth and watched.
"Dude, that was awesome! You sure know how to skateboard!" One of the shadows exclaimed.
"I know, right? The night was perfect! No humans at all!" The other shadow answered.
Leonardo froze in disbelief. He knew those voices, especially the second one. What is he doing here? He wondered. Only one way to know. He jumped and landed in front of the two shadows. Both of them jumped with surprise.
"Wow, dude! Don't startle me like that!" A gecko mutant exclaimed. "Wait… are you a turtle too?"
Leonardo didn't pay him any attention and turned to the other person, a mutant turtle much like himself.
"Mikey, what are you doing here?"
The turtle looked at him with bemused eyes.
"You really are a turtle! That's awesome!" He then narrowed his eyes and took a suspicious tone. "Wait a second. How do you even know my name? And who are you?"
