CUBE

Hey everyone, umm… welcome to my first fanfiction. As you can tell I'm a little nervous, cause this will be the first time I have had my written work online before. Please R & R and let me know what you think :D

P.S Would love some constructive criticism.

P.S.S I'm sorry if I don't get the characters completely right I've never used characters that are not of my own creation lol

Disclaimer: I wish I owned the TMNT but alas like so many others I do not, but if I did Mikey would be the star LOL. They are the property of their respective owners.

Anyway onto the story…

"Donnie, oh Donnie" Mikey called out excitedly as he bounced his way to his brothers invention room.

Inside said room, Donatello, gave a weary sigh, looking up from his current project, before spinning in his chair to face his younger brother who now stood in his doorway. "Yes Mikey?"

"I was wondering if you could help me with something?" Mikey said excitedly, holding up a large square object.

Despite Donnie's initial interest in the seemingly random object, he had too much on his plate to focus on new things, he said as much to his brother. "Not now Mikey, I'm trying to fix the microwave that Leo decided to bust cooking something even though he knows he is banned from the kitchen. Not to mention the fact that Raph, got angry with the TV and decided to throw something heavy at it, now that too is something I have to fix. The security system needs updating, I have to show Master Splinter how to use the shell cell..." He ranted.

"But Donnie…" Mikey whined.

"No buts Mikey." Donnie interrupted. "Why don't you go see if Leo , Raph or Master Splinter can help you." He swung his chair around and began to work on the microwave signalling that the conversation was over. Immediately feling guilty about turning Mikey away, when he heard his younger brother sigh and whisper 'Ok Donnie,' but decided he would deal with it a little later when he had time.

Mikey walked out the room downtrodden not mentioning to Donnie that he had already tried asking his other brothers and father but Leo was training; Raph was pissed off because some Foot had smashed his bike and he had to fix it; and Master splinter was well… watching his soap operas.

Maybe April will be able to help me out… Mikey contemplated. Yes if anyone could help me it would be her. Decided about his next move, Mikey headed towards his room to grab his shellcell so he could call April, thinking back on how he had found the mysterious cube.

*Flashback*

He had been sewer skating in an area he had found quite recently. A bump in the rail he had been grinding caused him to fall, using what momentum he had, he managed to flip himself the right way up. With a Shout of "Cowabunga!" he kept going, but in his moment of triumph, he had neglected to look ahead, failing a see a rather large dark shape in the sewer water. He certainly had, had no time to react and this time he was thrown through the air and fell onto his shell.

"Oh Shell, my… well shell!" He groaned rubbing his head and he slowly got to his feet.

He walked to the object he had fallen over and picked it up. He pulled it closer to his face and took a better a look at the markings that covered it. Well that's interesting Mikey remembered thinking. Maybe I will go and show the others. He picked up his skateboard and rushed as fast as he could home.

*End Flashback*

But not everyone had been as excited as Mikey had been, he felt a little rejected, but that wouldn't dampen his spirits. He picked up his shellcell from his comic book shelf. He sat down on his bed, studying the cube as he dialled April's number.

A few rings later a female voice said "Hello?"

"Hey Dudette, its Mikey."

"Hey Mike, what's up?" April asked

"I was wondering if you were free today?"

"Sure am, why?" April asked curiously.

"Cool would you mind taking a look at something I found? I've asked my brothers but they all busy at the moment and you're really the only other person whose smart enough to figure out what I found."

"No problems, bring it up and I will have a look for you."

"Awesome!" He yelled excitably "Thanks April. See you in ten."

"See you in ten Mike"

Mikey hung up and excitedly ran down the stairs grabbing his trench coat and wide-brim hat off the coat rack and put them on. He grabbed his skateboard from the entrance before he left.

Soon he was skating through the sewers, cube under his arm. About ten minutes later he reached the nearest manhole to April's house. Making his way up the ladder he opened the hatch and peered around to make sure the coast was clear. No matter how excited he was about his mysterious object the ninja training he had received was instilled in him, even though to most it wouldn't seem that way, and it was second nature for him to do this.

Making sure it was all clear and he made his way through the shadows, up to April's window. He snuck through the window and tapped from the inside, before hiding himself, snickering. He watched as the red haired female walked to the window to let him in, not knowing he was already inside.

April raised the window, looking around confused and softly called out "Mikey?"

Mikey's grin widened as he snuck up behind her.

"Mikey this isn't funny!" She said tapping her foot, still staring out the window, expecting him to show himself.

"BOO!" Mike yelled loudly, laughing as she jumped almost five foot into the air.

April turned quickly fists raised. Seeing that it was Mikey playing a prank on her she gave him a sour look. "Ha, ha, very funny Mikey" she said sarcastically, walking into the kitchen. "Obviously someone doesn't want help."

Mikey ran after her apologising profusely, "I'm sorry Dudett, but you should have seen your face though, absolutely priceless"

"Not helping your situation" April stated crossing her arms across her chest, raising an eyebrow and tapping her foot impatiently.

"Oh alright, I'm sorry April. I wont say I wouldn't do it again, cause I would in a heartbeat." Mikey said grinning.

April sighed rolling her eyes at him knowing that, that was the best apology she was going to get, "Ok Mike. What did you want me to take a look at?"

"Oh yeah, forgot about that part" He laughed sheepishly. "Here." He lifted the cube from within the folds of his trench coat where he had hidden it from public view, just in case, and handed it over to her.

She turned it over in her hands, tracing the lines with her fingertips.

"Hmmm…." She pondered in wonder.

"What? Do you know what it is? What does it do?" He asked without waiting for answers.

"Well… I'm pretty sure I've seen these markings before but I can't place it though. As for what it does, I have absolutely no clue. Here…" She handed to back to him.

"Oh…" Mikey felt dejected

"…but that doesn't mean I can't find out. Just have to know the right place to look." She smiled at Mikey as her perked back up. "Let's go and have a search on…" with an evil dramatic tone she added "…ze internet!"

Mikey bounced up and down happily, as he followed her to the living room, where her laptop was set up. He watched as Aprils fingers flew across the keyboard, much like the way Donnie's did, when he was researching things. After half an hour had passed he began to get bored and hungry. He stomach rumbled scaring April out of her concentration, but before she could comment, her stomach gurgled. Both looked at each other and laughed.

"I'll go whip us up something while you figure out what this cube is 'K Dudette." Mikey bargained standing up.

April smiled "I can live with that decision"

"I think our stomachs can too" They both laughed at the joke.

April began to search every data base open to the public and came across nothing. While Mikey went in to rustle up soon grub, as he put it. He placed the cube down next to the blender, accidently hitting it. He felt a surge course through his fingers. Suddenly the blender began to make noises and change its shape into a mini robot thing, without a second thought it started firing little missiles at him.

What the shell! He thought ducking behind the bench top.

"What are you making in there Mike, an atomic bomb." April complained jokingly.

Mikey let out a nervous laugh, "Haha… yeah, ummm… April, Did you know your blenders alive AND ITS TRYING TO KILL ME!" He yelled the last part.

"What!" She yelled back, running into the kitchen, to which the blender robot thing started firing at her.

Mikey grabbed her arm and pulled her down beside him. She was just as confused as he was.

"Ok here's what I'm going to do…" He began making sure April was listening. "I'm going to run out there and wack it with my chucks and you stay here and ummm… well just stay her."

She nodded.

He gave her a nod back, taking a deep breath, taking out his nunchakus before he jumped over the bullet riddled bench top. Dodging bullets Mikey managed to wack it to the floor. With it seemingly dead he picked it up by the throat only to have it bite him and drool something onto his skin. He screamed put in pain, as the liquid began eating away at his skin. He held onto the thing and with his other hand, grabbed its head. Using the strength that had taken him and his brothers almost 16 years to perfect he ripped the robots head off.

April peered over the bench at the sound of metal screeching.

Mikey saw this and motioned for her to come over to him saying "It's ok April, its dead… I think"

Staring at her old blender turned robot she moved slowly to his side.

"What happened? Why did my blender turn into a robot and try to kill us?"April began questioning him.

Mikey interrupted her with two words "The Cube!"

They turned in unison to stare at the seemingly innocent looking cube which lay next to where the blender once lived.

*dun dun duuuuuuun* LOL
