It was a peaceful night in New York City and Michelangelo was roaming around the sewers for something fun to do. His brothers and his friends left him in the lair for clean-up duty but he was so bored in the lair that he didn't do what they told him to do. Instead, he ditched the lair, and his chores, and went out to the sewers. But then, since his other friends, The Mighty Mutanimals, were also busy, Mikey got bored all over again so, finally, he decided to turn around and head back to the lair.

As he went back, Mikey didn't see something blocking his path so he continued to walk, making him trip over it and fall." Ow! What the shell was that?!" he complained angrily with groan as he rubbed his sore shell from the fall. He looked at the thing behind him then he gasped as he exclaimed," Woah! A shiny golden lamp! Cool!" He picked it up but then it was hard to see it clearly so he ran out of the sewers. He ran and ran until he came to a vast green land.

" Woah! Cool! It's shinier up close and under the stars!" Mikey cried out, looking up at the shiny stars and then he looked down at the lamp again. But, all of a sudden, he frowned when he noticed that the lamp was slightly dusty." Oh, man! Ugh! Sewer apples! This lamp's kinda dirty..." Mikey said, rubbing the lamp to clean up all of the dust but then, all of a sudden, a huge gust of blue smoke started coming out from the inside of the lamp.

" Woah! What in the?!" he cried out, dropping the lamp and backing up from it as the smoke formed a shape of a blue muscular man with sky blue pants, golden wrist bands, a pair of golden shoes, and a sky blue puffy hat with a shiny sapphire gem in the middle." Oh, my. Oh, dear," the blue man said, tumbling as he tried to stand." It has been a hundred years since I've walked on the surface of this planet. And it's been long since I've breathed the air here too,"

" Woah..." Mikey said in awe and in admiration, making the blue man turn around." Oh, greetings there, young turtle man," the blue man greeted with a wave as he did an Indian sit and levitated." OMG! Are you a genie?!" Mikey asked in optimism, squealing at the top of his lungs and the genie smirked before saying," Why, yes, little turtle man. I am a magical genie in a lamp. And are you the turtle who rubbed my lamp?"

" Yes, Yes, YES!" Mikey said happily as he smiled so wide that his baby blue eyes looked like they were about to pop in enthusiasm right out of his mask." Alright, then, my turtle master," the genie said with a bow, still levitating." What is your first wish?" Mikey thought for a moment before snapping his fingers them he wished," I wish for a golden palace!" The genie bowed down then he cleared throat and flicked his hands, saying;

" Zoom, Zoom
For the master of mine,
With walls of gold
Golden palace divine!"

With only one snap and one clap, a huge golden palace appeared right behind them." This is super duper cool! And so shiny!" Mikey said happily as he ran inside the palace, with the genie, holding his golden lamp, following behind him with a small smirk." The inside of this golden palace is so cool!" Mikey said with a huge smile but then he thought for a moment, murmuring to himself," I just wish that there was a huge pile of gold that fills up this whole palace..."

" Your wish is my command, my young master," the genie said with a bow then he snapped his fingers before a river of gold filled up the whole golden palace until the entrance was also filled up." Oh, wow, genie," Mikey said with a smile and a giggle." That wish was an accident but it kinda looks like it was worth it," The genie placed his lamp on a block stand as Mikey jumped on a pile of gold and made a gold turtle angel.

" Ha ha! This is so fun!" he said happily as he got up and swam in gold like a professional." Young master, are you going to make your last wish?" the genie asked, which made Mikey get up and turn to him in confusion." Woah, what's the rush, genie?" he asked, going towards the genie with deep curiosity." Well, it's nothing really, master," the genie said, sitting on another block.

Mikey noticed the sad look on his face so he asked him," Hey, what's the matter?" The genie sighed and turned away, as if trying to avoid eye contact. Mikey didn't give up so he took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment and then told the genie," Michelangelo," The genie turned to look at him in confusion so Mikey explained," Well, I never got to tell you my name. My name is Hamato Michelangelo but then Michelangelo, or Mikey, is fine by me,"

" My name is Troy," the genie said but then his voice sounded sad so Mikey asked," Hey, what's wrong, Troy? You seem sad," Troy sighed and turned away again but this time, he admitted," I-I just miss my family," Mikey looked confused as he repeated," Your family?" Troy nodded then he explained," I have been trapped in the lamp for one hundred years! My family must be gone, by now. You see, I was only 23 years old when I found the lamp and when I first met a genie,"

" Y-You were human?" Mikey asked and Troy nodded then he went on, saying," Yes and a very industrious one too. But that all changed when I met the genie and started to wish for all my work to be done. All my wishes had great consequences and great results...until I did my very last wish," Curious, Mikey asked him," What was your very last wish, Troy?" Troy looked at him in disbelief, pointing out," Isn't it obvious? I wished to be a genie to replace my genie!"

" Oh..." Mikey said, amazed as Troy continued," At first, all was well. I granted great wishes and it made me feel great for me to use my powers to do good things. But then there was something that I didn't know about my genie. He was an evil genie and a very bad person by heart. I gave him everything he had ever wanted and in return, he grabbed my lamp and threw me down the sewers! After that, I never saw my family and friends again,"

" Aww. That's sad," Mikey sadly said as his new friend started to cry crystal tears. He patted his shoulder as Troy said," If anyone would help me be free from my wish, I would never ever betray him or her," Mikey thought on what to do to cheer him up. At last, he got an idea as he snapped his fingers and told Troy," I'd help you be free from your wish!" In disbelief, Troy asked," But how?" He gasped after Mikey said," I will wish for me to replace you!"

" W-What?!" Troy cried out in total shock and surprise." Why would you do that?!" Mikey smirked and told him," Why wouldn't I do it, dude? Besides, Troy, you're my friend!" In great surprise, Troy repeated," F-Friends?" Then, he snapped out from his stutter and warned," But it's a dire risk! You'll lose all your family and friends because of your immortality! Are you extremely sure?!" Despite the warning, Mikey still nodded.

" Okay. Make your wish, " Troy said as he sighed in defeat then Mikey took a deep breath before saying out loud," I wish that I will replace you as genie!" All of a sudden, a gust of blue smoke came from the lamp and went around Troy. It went around him very fast and when it went away, Troy had normal peach skin with a blue shirt and pants and some white sneakers. The blue smoke went all around Mikey then it suddenly sparkly orange before flying back in the lamp.

" Woah!" Mikey said in amazement as he realized that he had orange pants, golden wrist bands with shimmery multicolored gems, a pair of golden shoes, and a puffy orange hat with a shiny orange gem in the middle." This is so cool, Troy!" Troy looked at himself and smiled happily as he realized that he looked 23 again." Yes! I'm back! I'm finally back!" he cried out in joy as he jumped up and down with enthusiasm.

Suddenly, he remembered about his turtle friend as he turned to see Mikey, who was floating." Oh my goodness! Oh dear!" Troy cried out in worry." Are you alright? Are you okay, Michelangelo?" Mikey looked at him and then smiled." Are you kidding me?! This is so totally awesome, dude!" he shouted out loud happily." Now, I can grant wishes for everyone! And pretty soon, everybody would be so happy, they'd come again!"

" But there are rules," Troy warned his turtle genie. He took out a list and then read aloud," Rule #1, no killing. Rule #2, no forcing others for love. Rule #3, no bringing back from the dead. Rule #4, no turning into magical or cursed creatures such as vampires or pixies. And Rule #5, no harming the genie who makes the wishes," Mikey, who was taking down notes of the rules on another paper, looked at his friend and asked," Wait, that's it?"

" Wait a minute, what do you mean ''that's it''? Troy asked as he looked at Mikey in disbelief." Those rules are very strict! They are super duper important!" Mikey made his paper and pen disappear then he admitted," I was actually looking forward for more rules. Like no bad guys are allowed to make any wishes," Troy thought about it and said," You can't make bad guys not wish but you can make new rules to follow. I made up rule 4,"

" But can you do something about the wishes," Mikey asked, suddenly getting a bit worried. Troy thought long and hard then he snapped as he got an idea." Hey, Mikey," he asked smoothly." Can I be first creature to be the one getting wishes?" Mikey nodded then Troy cleared his throat before telling him," I wish that there's a maze in front of you palace with a golden wall around it and your palace!"

Mikey cleared his throat and then chanted,

" Boom! Zaramay!
First wish of the day.
For a good friend of mine,
Maze and wall divine!"

With just one clap, a huge maze appeared in front of the palace and with just a snap, a tall golden wall appeared around the palace and the maze." Woah!" Mikey said in amazement." Thanks for the extra protection but why did you wish for it, Troy?" Troy smiled and admitted to his friend," Well, since you're gonna be in your golden palace all alone, you might as well enjoy being protected from any thieves or any demons,"

" Alright, then but what's with the maze?" Mikey asked, still confused and Troy said," Oh, that. Well, since you wanted to control the people wanting to get a wish, you can give them obstacles to check if they're worthy enough," Mikey nodded then he thought for a moment before telling Troy," You know, this palace could use a little more protection. You know, in case they use gear to climb over the walls to get to me,"

" Hm, you're right, Mikester," Troy agreed with him." For my second wish, I wish that there was a force field on your gold and the lamp and a huge force field dome on top of the wall of your palace and maze to keep thieves out!" Mikey smiled and then he clapped his hands and chanted,

" Boom! Zaramay!
Second wish of the day.
For a good friend of mine,
Force field and dome divine!"

All of a sudden, a huge force field dome went on top of the huge wall and then with a second poof, each gold in the palace became shinier than ever." Hmm, um did the wish work, Troy?" Mikey asked in worry then Troy tried to get a piece of gold but suddenly got electrocuted before saying in pain," Y-Yeah..i-it worked..." Mikey giggled then he helped his friend up on his feet and then asked," He he, is that all? Or is there a need for more?"

" Hmm, maybe there is," Troy said then he wished," For my very last wish, I wish that there was a certain device at the back of your palace, but inside the dome, that teleports the person or any other creature to New York City!" Mikey smiled in pure happiness at his seemingly overprotective friend then he clapped and chanted,

" Boom! Zaramay!
Last wish of the day.
For a good friend of mine,
Teleportation divine!"

All of a sudden, a teleportation disc appeared just outside of the palace but as Troy was about to take his leave, Mikey stopped," Troy! Wait a minute! I have something just for you, dude!" He clapped his fingers then a rolled-up sheet of paper appeared in his hands then he handed it over to Troy." Um, what is this thing, Mikey? I didn't wish for this at all," he asked as he opened the rolled paper and then he gasped as he scanned it.

" This...is..." he stuttered, unsure and not believing what he was looking at. It was the map of the maze and it showed the exact route or the shortest route to get through the maze." Well, since I know that you can visit me," Mikey started to explain to his unsure face." I gave you this map of the maze to let you get here as soon as possible and so that you won't get hurt too much while your passing the tests and obstacles,"

" But what if..?" Troy was about to ask but then he was interrupted when Mikey told him," Don't worry, though. I enchanted it so only you can open and see it. No one else but you...unless you pass the gift to someone else you trust," A little bit confused, Troy asked," But how can I pass it?" Mikey giggled and then told him," Just say ''The gift is yours!'' and the magic will take care of the rest!"

" Well then, if that's all, thank you, my friend," Troy said, giving Mikey one big hug. Mikey hugged back then Troy went on his way to the teleportation disk. Before he was able to go, though, Mikey shouted aloud to him," Oh, when you see my brothers, show them where I am, okay?!" Troy looked back at Mikey and shouted," Okay! I got it, Mikester!" then he was teleported to New York City.
