Chapter 3 - What will you do for family?

'Hey guys' Mikey smiled at his family,

'Run Mikey!' Leo replied with a worried expression, Don and Raph were staring at him,

'My son, leave this place' Splinter said sadly,

'Michelangelo' Mikey looked up at the bug, 'My friend, I'm sorry but we can not let you leave this place with your family' Bug-man actually did look sorry,

'We need you' One of the other bugs grabbed Mikey's hand and knelt before him 'Please help us'

'What do you need help with?' Mikey asked,

'DON'T TOUCH HIM!' Raph shouted angrily,

'LEAVE HIM ALONE!' Donnie shouted,

'GUYS, SHUT UP!' Mikey shouted back, he wanted to know what was going on,

'You see Michelangelo' Bug-man started as Mikey watched a huge glowing orb being pushed into the room, 'We believe that you have a certain quality, that could help us fight for our planet' They bug people pushed the orb in front of Mikey, 'If you would please just touch the light' Mikey held out his hand, he didn't know whether this was a good idea...

'What will happen?' Mikey asked nervously,

'We do not know' Bug-man replied,

'DON'T DO IT MIKEY!' Leo shouted in dismay, Mikey couldn't resist. He carefully placed his hand on the orb of light, it felt warm underneath his fingers. He gasped as he watched the light travel up his arm in a single thread, leaving curls of light on his arms, his shell was covered with bright swirls and everything he was wearing shone like the sun,

'Woah' Mikey gasped as he stared at his body with fascination,

'WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SON!?' Splinter shouted but Mikey wasn't listening, he took his hand off of the orb and all the light left his body,

'That. was. AWESOME!' Mikey laughed as he punched the air,

'Now that we know that you are the radlan we can tell you what we need from you' Bug-man smiled,

'What's a Radlan?' Mikey asked in confusion,

'It's our word for saviour' Bug-man replied,

'Oh ok, tell me what ya need then buddy' Mikey smiled,

'Well you see, my planet, leveralno, has been at war for over 6 years. We were running out of food, shelter and options. People were dying and we couldn't last much longer, my friend read a book of legends and told me that there was somebody on a planet called Earth that could help. we landed in florida but the tracker took us to New York and we found the source in the sewers, You were what we were searching for. My friend decided to take the situation to extremes, so we kidnapped your family-' Bug-man was interrupted by another bug,

'Yeah and if you don't help us we'll kill em, all of em' It threatened, Mikey scowled at it,

'I'm afraid that i can not talk him out of it, but... you are our last chance Michelangelo, We need your help' Bug-man finished sadly,

'Dude, you didn't have to kidnap my family, I still woulda helped you' Mikey said soothingly,

'So you'll help?' One of the bugs asked hopefully,

'Yes but first you must release my family and I might need more of those orb things' Mikey said hopefully,

'Don't worry we will give you one that is smaller when we get to leveralno' Bug-man laughed as he unlocked the cage. Mikey ran over to his family and gave them a hug,

'Michelangelo, why? why did you agree to go to war?' Splinter asked sadly,

'Yeah Mike, it's not your fight' Raph pointed out,

'They were gonna kill you guys if I said no, besides, Bug-mans a good guy, i can't let his planet be destroyed, Mikey looked over at his new friend, Bug-man was walking over to Mikey with a sad expression,

'What's wrong?' Mikey asked,

'My family... they have been... k-killed' Bug-man sobbed, Mikey stared at him in shock,

'We aren't having Mikey killed' Leo growled,

'No way are you taking him' Donnie said threateningly,

'I don't want to make Michelangelo go, in my opinion he should stay home with his family and live his life. But i have no say in the matter. I promise to protect him with my life, he will return home.' Bug-man saluted to Mikey's family then marched away to get the ship ready,

'My son, meditate every night and meet us on the spiritual plain' Splinter said softly as he hugged the youngest for what could be the last time,

'Don't get hurt Mikey' Leo whispered as he hugged his brother,

'Don't get killed bro' Raph growled down Mikey's ear,

'Bye Mikey, come home soon' Donnie whispered sadly, Mikey stood back and looked at his family. he might not see them again for a long time.

'Come Michelangelo it is time to go' Bug-man said as he pushed Mikey towards the ship, 'We will tell you if anything happens' Bug-man said as he followed Mikey.

'BYE!' Mikey's family shouted to him, as Mikey waved back. Donnie cried into Leo's shoulder, the others waited until they were home to cry.

It was a long journey to the brown planet, and all the way there Mikey was told about how green it used to be. He was just falling asleep when they landed, it was all rushed. Mikey was pushed out of the ship and was greeted by the sound of guns and bombs, He was rushed into a strange, circular building and a white crystal was shoved into his belt causing him to light up again, a gun was pushed into his hands then he was pushed outside to fight. Mikey barely had a moment to register what was going on, he shot wildly at the creatures that looked like a mutation gone wrong and tried not to shoot the bug people. He kept at it until it was dark, then he was shoved into the building again by Bug-man. Mikey hadn't noticed at the time but once he was in the infirmary he saw that he was covered in cuts and bruises, the nurse put some miracle gel onto his wounds and they healed instantly. He was then taken to a small room, he took the crystal out of his belt and lay it down on the table next to the bed. Mikey knew that he would have to do the same thing everyday until the war was over. He didn't want to think about it so he sat on the bed and went to visit his family in the spiritual plain. Mikey arrived there first and sat down to wait, he loved the spiritual plain because it was basically a warm field,

'Mikey!' Mikey looked up to see his family walking towards him, he leapt up and walked up to them. He was greeted with a hug,

'Hey guys' Mikey grinned at them,

'What is it like Michelangelo?' Splinter asked,

'Honestly, it was such a rush that I barely knew what was happening, I didn't even feel it when I was cut and beaten' Mikey laughed,

'Where were you hurt? are you ok now?' Donnie asked worriedly,

'Yeah i'm fine, they have some weird gel stuff that heals instantly,

'So you've been out on the battle field already then' Raph asked,

'Yeah, but my nunchucks weren't allowed so they are being sent back to you. I'm using a huge gun now instead' Mikey replied,

'How does it feel to be a soldier for a strange planet?' Leo asked,

'It's gonna be a long war' Mikey sighed,

'Visit us every night Michelangelo,' Splinter insisted,

'I will, even if I get captured by the enemy' Mikey replied with a smile,

'You're brave bro, I'll give you that' Raph nodded, looking impressed,

'Thanks Raph, I'd better go' Mikey replied,

'Remember my son, we can always feel it when you are weak or hurt and we will give you strength so please do not close your mind' Splinter said,

'Don't forget to meet us here Mike, every night' Donnie reminded him,

'Bye bro, we'll miss ya' Leo laughed as Mikey disappeared. Mikey opened his eyes, he was still sitting on the bed. He laid down on the covers and cried into his pillow, he hated being away from his family, he hated the war and he just wanted to go home. He cried himself to sleep that night but was comforted by the thought that he was doing this for his family, he would do anything for his family.
