Chapter 1

Mikey turned his head when he heard his brother call his name, He couldn't see him from where he was standing, He stretched his neck and tried to see where he was. He couldn't see him over the big piles of junk. "Mikey! Come here for a second" He heard again. He sighed and dropped what he was doing and started to make his way to the sound of his brothers voice. He didn't know why he volunteered to help Don look for supplies, And he hated the fact that he had to dig his way through garbage just to find a stupid mallet. 'What the hell is a mallet anyway' He thought.

With the exception of looking for tools that he didn't know existed, He loved the dump. The smell takes some getting used to, But he could spend hours just digging through the garbage. HE has found so many interesting things, Like a classical radio that he has hooked up next to his bed, A old guitar that's hanging up above his mirror, He even found a brand new TV. It wasn't even taken out of the box. He had Don examine it to see if anyone rigged it with bombs or stuff, People these days.

He finally saw his brother kneeling down next to a pile of trash. "What?" He asked

"Come look at this" He said

Mikey knelt down next to him to see a small alien looking machine laying on the ground. "What is it?"

"I don't know" Don claimed, "I'm thinking about taking it and examining it at the lab"

"Whoa dude, You remember last time you found something and brought it back to the lair"

"Well was it my fault that Raph had a freak out moment and kicked it across the room, I didn't know it shot lasers"

"I guess but Leo's arm still twitches every time he gets scared" Mikey said laughing

Don laughed and picked up the hunk of metal.

"Careful man" Mikey said

"It's fine" Don reassured "Let's go back, I'll just use something else other than a mallet"

'Thank god' Mikey thought and walked next to his brother on the way back home

...

"No you bring that side to the left"

"Then you bring yours over"

"Oh my god Leo, You making this harder than it needs to be"

"No you're the one who doesn't know your rights and lefts"

"God damn it...ok just put it down"

Raph and Leo dropped the couch making a loud bang. Raph arched his back making it crack in several different places. Leo rubbed his hands and cracked his knuckles.

"Ok, Now when we pick it up, You're going to haul it to your left...Which it this way" Leo pointed to the left " And drop it...Ok?"

"Sure thing fearless" Raph said kneeling and picking the couch up

Leo picked it up and waited for Raph, Raph scooted to his left and dropped the couch . Leo then hauled it over the incline and dropped it.

"There... Was that so hard" Leo asked flopping on the new couch

"Believe it or not...Yes" Raph joked as he sat next to his brother and flipped the TV on.

They sat and watched TV in silence, Then Leo began. "Hey Raph, Can i ask you a serious question?"

Raph looked surprised at the seriousness in his voice. " Sure go ahead"

Leo thought about it, Then continued. " Am I doing a good job?"

"What do ya mean?" Raph asked

"I mean as leader...Am I doing a good job"

Raph sat in silence, "Look Leo, Master Splinter left you in charge for a reason. Because your responsible. You don't need to be worrying about doing a good job. If Master Splinters dyeing wish was for someone to look after us, You'd be the person for it"

Leo took in all that Raph said, He expected just a ' Ya' BUt he got a whole lecture. It made him smile. "Thanks Raph"

"No problem bro"

Leo heard the lair door open and assumed his brothers were home. "Hey guys"

"Hey you got the couch all set up!" Mikey said leaping to Raph's side "Wow its comfy"

"Yo Donny, What's that" Raph asked pointing to the metal contraption in his arms.

"I don't know, I got curious" Don said

"Ok well just don't let Raph kick it this time" Leo joked

"Well if it didn't get in my way, Maybe you wouldn't have twitchy arms"

They all laughed, Don looked at the machine in his hands and walked into his lab, He set the machine on the desk and sat down. He looked at it for a couple minutes, Wondering what it could do or who could have just thrown it away. He grabbed it and spun it around looking for the main control panel, He found it and reached for the screwdriver. He slowly unscrewed all four nail and removed the cover.

The inside look unusual, Like it wasn't like any other machine. He studied it and came to the conclusion that he has never seen anything like this. He took the pliers and moved the wires to get a view of the main circuit board. Once he found it, He noticed there was strange markings on them, He took it out and examined it, It was kinda creepy. It sent chills down his spine. All he knew was that he couldn't wait to take it apart and see what it really was.

...

3 days later

"Dinners ready" Mikey shouted from the kitchen

Leo looked up from his book and set it down, Got up from his chair and nudged Raph awake. He walked into the kitchen and took a seat in his favorite chair. Raph walked in a short time later, "Why do you have to finish dinner when i'm sleeping"

"Why do you sleep when I'm cooking dinner" Mikey joked

"Touché" Raph said sitting next to Leo

"Have a good nap?" Leo asked

"I guess...Where's Donny"

"I guess he's still in his lab" Leo said

"Dang he's been working on that thing for days now" Mikey stated

"I'll get him" Leo said leaving the table and walking out of the kitchen, He poked his head into his lab. "Donny...Dinners ready"

"Huh?" Don said turning in his chair " Oh yeah ill be out shorty" He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. Leo stepped in.

"Find out what it does yet" Leo asked

"No...But I think I'm getting somewhere" Don then noticed something he hadn't before. He grabbed the pliers and dug into the circuit board. He saw a big wire that hung loosely. "I wonder" He said to himself. Leo was behind him observing his genius brother at his best. Don grabbed the wire and plugged it into the hole that it corresponded to. Don almost fell out of his seat at the sudden sound of beeping. He looked at the machine which Don just turned on. It wounded like the beeps were getting faster.

"Is it suppose to be beeping like that" Leo asked

"I don't know' Don said staring at the machine.

The beeps were getting really fast now, That's when Don saw it. He's seen this thing before. He turned to Leo. "We got to get out of here now!"

Leo gave Don a scared look "What..Why?" He said

Don looked back at the machine and notice it stopped beeping, That's what Don was afraid of. "GO NOW!" Don screamed as he jumped out of his chair and ran toward Leo, Running pass him and stopping in the middle room. Looking at Leo as he stood in front of his lab

"Leo!" He screamed

Then everything went in slow motion, He saw the bright flash of light engulf his whole lair, Taking Leo with it, Then reaching out into the main room.

"NOOOOOO" Don yelled as the explosion embraced Don and sent him into a spiraling darkness.

Leo opened his eyes, His chest pumping and sweat running down his body. His hand flew up to his head without realizing. He sat up and looked around, Where was he? All he remembered was Don working on the machine, Then a big flash of light. Then he woke up. He stood up and looked around. He was in a house, It looked like it has been abandoned for years, furniture broken, Metal rusted, Ceiling had holes in it, letting sun inside. He slowly walked around. This place didn't look familiar. He walked over to a window and looked outside. His heart started to slam out of his chest. He saw a big city. But it wasn't like any he has seen, It was dark, Scary, Rundown. He looked for the door and ran outside.

"Hello" He screamed "Is anyone out there"

He didn't hear anything except the echo of his own screams, He stood alone in a abandoned neighborhood of an abandoned apocalyptic city.
