Chapter One: The Day She Came Back
This place
It's not how it used to be
It's no longer a paradise
But only a nightmare
After one flash I was gone.
The young girl turtle slowly opened her eyes her auburn colored bangs covered her eyes. She slowly got up and looked around the city, it was in shambles. Her eyes widened as she covered her mouth with her hand. Her memory was a bit hazy after the flash happened and she starts walking the remains of the city. She felt lonely seeing how everyone in the city was gone.
"This can't be New York City." She said as she looks around. "It can't be.."
The wind started blowing as a person in helicopter turns on his light and spots the girl. She looks up and takes out her bow staff.
"Don't move!" yelled a man in a gas mask. "Your not suppose be out on the streets at night!"
"Who the shell are you?" shouted the girl as she swings her staff.
"That's none of your concern!" said the man. "Your coming with us!"
Two large goons from behind grab her from behind, and the girl turns around.
"Gah!" she screams. "Let go of me!"
Then a mysterious shadow appears behind the two goons and knocks them both out. She turns around and gasps as she looks at the cloaked vigilante. She noticed that the vigilante had a girlish figure, so she assume it was a female. The man with the gas mask glare at the cloaked vigilante.
"We met again, Shadow." He said as put pulls a sword out.
Shadow nods. "Yes, leave this girl alone." She said.
The auburn haired girl turtle's eyes widen as she heard Shadow's familiar voice before. She looks up at Shadow.
"Take off that stupid hood! And expose yourself, Noodle!" shouted the man.
The girl gasped and her eye went big, Shadow growls and takes off her hood. "I told you never to call me that EVER again!" she shouted,as she manages to take oneof the goons' gun.
Attempting to shoot the leader, she shoots the helicopter, and the helicopter comes crashing down. The leader galres violently at Noodle and runs off seeing if his crew was alright. The young auburn haired girl turtle looks at Noodle. Shadow takes a good look at the girl and her eyes widened.
"N-Naziah?" said Shadow.
"Noodle!" shouted Naziah as she hugs her.
Noodle hesitated at first, but feeling Naziah's hug for the first time for 15 years she hugs her back, she couldn't believe that it was really her. Noodle pulls back from the hug and holds Naziah by the shoulders.
"Naz! I can't believe it's really you!" said Noodle. "Why the shell are you here, it's been 15 years since I saw you last!"
"I don't know!" said Naziah as she shrugs.
Noodle's emotions started to change as she went from crying to anger and rage. She grabs her her shoulders tears still streaming from her face. Naziah was in fear of the older Noodle she saw how angry and hurt she was.
"How could you?" said Noodle
"How could I what, Noodle?" said Naziah.
"How could you leave us for the last 15 years?!" Noodle shouted Noodle. "Ever since you disappeared it's been pure hell for me, Mikey and everyone else!"
Naziah tries to calm her down, she could imagine how hurt Noodle was when she left. Naziah hugs her again as she apologies and cries again. After moments of hugging, Naziah let's go of the older Noodle and looks at her. Noodle wipes her tears away.
"Noodle, you have to tell me how New York got like this." Said Naziah.
Noodle sighs and sniffles as she puts her hood back on.
"Follow me." She said as she starts walking to the abandoned noodle where they all use to hang out.
Naziah follows her. "Where is everyone?" she asked.
"Either working for the Shredder or deceased," said Noodle. "A year after you disappeared. The Shredder took Master Splinter's life, may he rest in peace, and took over the whole world."
"Oh my..What about the others?" asked Naziah.
"When Master Splinter died, the gang fell apart. " said Noodle
"What do you mean, Noodle" said Naziah in a worried look.
"Please, don't call me Noodle.." said Noodle. "It's been a while since anyone has called me that, they call me Shadow. Anyway we all split up Mikey was the first to leave, he blamed himself for losing you. Then Katrina left, then Donnie and Zandra, Leiana, Raph, then lastly Leonardo.."
"That's terrible!" said Naziah.
"I met up with Donnie, Kat, and Zandra about 3 years ago. We all live the HQ" said Noodle.
"But what about Mikey?" Naziah asked. "Is he still here?!"
Noodle sighs as she looks at the HQ then at Naziah. "I wish I knew, Naziah. I really do." She said "It's been 8 years since I talked to them after the war."
Naziah's eyes widen and she grabbed Noodle's cloak. Shocked, Noodle turns to her. Noodle saw the confused look on her face.
"What war?" said Naziah.
"After Master Splinter was killed, Leonardo was furious at Shredder," said Noodle. "I mean that metal bastard killed someone who's been my brothers lifes even through I lived with you guys for months, you've treated me like family, Master Splinter was like a father figure to me. And we will be truly missed."
Both turtles go inside the old noodle shop, as Noodle pulls a lever they both get sent down into the base. Naziah looks around, amazed. Their base was bright and high tech with alien technology. Naziah sees a certain inventor and genius working on a new invention.
"Donnie?" she said.
"He can't hear you." said Noodle.
"DONNIE!" shouted Naziah.
Noodle covers her ears, and covers Naziah's mouth.
"I mean this glass is sound-proof!" she said.
They reach where Donnie is, Noodle clears her throat to get Donatello's attention.
"Don look what I found." Said Noodle.
Donatello sighs as he gets up and turns around.
"What is it this time Noo-" he said as he looked at Naziah then at Noodle. "N-Naziah? Is that really you?" he said.
Naz nods as she was speechless, she noticed he got a lot taller, then the last time she saw him, which was 15 years ago. He smiles at her as she hugs him, he hesitates then hugs her back.
"15 years, you disappeared." He said as he still hugs her. "We all thought you died.."
Naziah smiled a bit, then thinks about her older sister, Katrina. Donnie lets go of Naziah.
"Donnie, where's Katrina? Noodle said she was here." Said Naziah.
Donnie's smile went away as soon as Naziah said "Katrina", he bit his lip, too nervous to say a thing.
"You mean the Red-haired psychopath?" he asked.
"Hey! Kat is not a psycho!" said Naziah.
"Naz, remember, things have changed since you left." Said Noodle.
"But where's Kat?" asked Naziah.
Noodle points to a glowing red door.
"In there." She said.
"What made Kat a psychopath?" asked Naziah.
Noodle and Donnie look at each other, then back at Naziah. Naziah looked confused as they were staring at her.
"Should we tell her?" Donnie asked.
"She's gonna see it anyway." Said Noodle.
"I'm gonna see what?" said Naziah.
"Well during the war, Katrina was facing the Shredder, her temper got the best of her and she lost her arm." Said Noodle.
"An arm?!" said Naziah with a shocked look.
Naziah looks at the glowing door, then Noodle looks at it.
"You wanna see her." Said Noodle. "Go ahead, me and Donnie will be behind you."
"Wait, we are?" said Donnie.
Noodle glares at Donnie making him change his mind.
"I mean, yes we are!" said Donnie.
Naziah nods. She starts walking closer to the door. She turns the knob to the door and it opens. She hears a growl and gasps.
