Authors Notes: Sorry! Yet again my art has overcome me! But never fear, soon I will recieve my new laptop and will be able to type up anywhere (I use a mac mini at the moment) But here comes the second part of the Ultimate Drako splitting up thing ;D Next part concludes it and will hopefully come soon...

Disclaimer: I own the plot and Violet, okay? If I ruled the rest, I don't think you'd find it here! (lol!)

Chapter 10: Mystical Mikey?

They waited, informing Violet to sit. When Mikey entered, she wanted to jump up and hug him, but had to resist.

"The Sun shouldn't be forced to rise" he spoke mystically and strangely.

"I know, but urgency calls" Leo bowed to his younger brother.

The other two followed his lead.

Raph dug Violet in the ribs. "Bow, quick!" he hissed. She reluctantly did so.

"Ah, I've been awaiting the day the Haze would return to this world"

Leo grimaced. "So you foresaw this? And you didn't inform us?"

"I can't reveal everything to come, otherwise the mere fabric of the future could collapse" he half-turned away from Leo. "I speak what I may, un-debatable matters that are of certain natures"

Violet silently watched him, daring not to interrupt him. Mikey turned and locked eyes with her; his expression seemed numb.

"Your role is important soon" he said quietly, only just audible. He moved so everyone could see him again. "All I can say is: With the rising of the first flower, means the calming of the storm" Leo went to question the prediction but Mikey continued. "I require time with Haze" his eyes narrowed "alone, interrupt, and you know what's coming"

And with that, he walked back into the room he came from. He stopped in the doorway and glanced back at Violet, silently ordering her to follow him. She stood up, exchanging a smile with Raph as she passed him and was taken into Mikey's room. She sat where he indicated, surprised at how uncannily similar Mikey's room was to her Splinter's study.

"So…you can see the future?"

He chuckled slightly. "Violet," the first to actually use her name, "I know you are not of this world…of this dimension," she gasped. "I see many futures, not just our own, so many, many lives…" he sighed. "Occasionally, I go out to seek those I must help" he stopped for a minute. "You are not Haze, but I would recommend you act the part while you're here"

She inhaled slowly. "So I will get home?"

"You have two chances to get home" he held up two fingers. "One sooner than the other"

"How-?"

He cut her off. "Miss both, and you'll be stuck here. There are certain deeds you must fulfil before you will be allowed to return"

She frowned. "So, can you help me or not?"

"I can, but it depends on what level. If it is to tell you what you need to do, then I can't…" He smirked, "but perhaps the Shredder could help you"

"WHAT?!" She jumped at his suggestion.

"Our world is nothing like yours, our roles are reversed. Storm, Wave and Rain commit crimes while the Shredder and his legions of Foot Ninjas are the police, the law"

She pouted as she thought about it. "That's why I saw Leo running from that commotion" She received a grim nod. "And how about you?" she asked slowly.

"I am neither good nor evil, I must offer both sides their prophecies. On occasion I get involved and help my brothers, on others I help Shredder, it all comes down to whether I may interfere in the business or not"

Mikey seemed so mature here, he was no longer the boyfriend she knew; he seemed more like a master…

She gulped. "Anything else?"

"Not momentarily, but remember: Even a flower can survive in a storm" he dismissed her with a wave of the hand.

As she closed the door, she found herself surrounded by the other three turtles.

"What did he say?" Leo demanded.

She glared at him. "Nosy much?"

"Haze, it's not been the same without you" Raph smiled.

"Wave! We still have a job to do" Leo cut in.

Raph turned to him. "Can't Haze help? She was always the stealthiest"

Violet froze. Helping them with a crime? Could she really do that? They were her brothers after all. She recalled Mikey's words as she decided.

"Just tell me what I need to do Storm," she said, silently cursing the half-baked prophet, Michelangelo.

"Got it kid?"

Violet hung onto their ally, Casey Jones as he drove her into position on his motorcycle.

"Don't patronize me" she muttered.

There were so many differences here like Mikey said. April was still working for the good version of Baxter Stockman so had never befriended the turtles. This alternately meant she was working for the Shredder!

Splinter had been caught by not-so-evil Bishop and was imprisoned. The guys hadn't tried to free him yet, but tonight was the night! And Violet had been given a big role. She had to sneak in and try open his cell and get him out while Leo and Raph were distractions for the guards and Bishop, and Don waited in the Battle Shell.

She crawled in through a small air vent as instructed. "Why is it always air vents?" she muttered as she moved delicately through. She came out gracefully in front of a cell, Splinter's cell. "Think Haze think!" She tried to remember the sort of codes Don or 'Rain' had told her to try. She gulped and typed desperately into the keypad. There was a beep, and the door opened. "Wow! Lucky guess" she grinned to herself.

Suddenly Splinter jumped at her, pinning her against the wall. "Big mistake" he sneered.

"Whoa! It's me, Vi…I mean Haze"

He quickly released her. "But…"

"I know I'm dead! I'll explain later 'cause right now we gotta get outta here!"

She ran down the corridor, checking Splinter was actually following her. As they heard soldiers approaching, she quickly lifted the access panel in the floor her world's Casey, April and Splinter had used to evade the guards long ago. They easily escaped, this world's Bishop was obviously less prepared for her tricks.

As they ran for the Battle Shell, Leo ran round a corner and crashed into Violet. "Keep going" she hissed at Splinter who nodded and made it safely to the vehicle. "Come on, quick, you next" she ordered Leo.

"No! I'm not losing you again!"

She froze, 'the way he said that'

"Wait…" He helped her up.

"We can't!" She grabbed him by the hand and pulled him into the van. "GO!" She shouted at Don, who reacted almost immediately.

Leo pulled her to the back, alone.

"I…" He stifled his emotions a bit like her Leo.

"Can I ask you something?" she smiled at him. He nodded slowly. "Do you like me?"

He blushed suddenly. "What gave you that idea?"

She didn't bother answering the question. "Look Storm…Leo…" For once he didn't object to the use of his name, he just couldn't take his eyes off her. "I'm not your Haze…I live in a very different world, but if everything happened similarly here, I can tell you if you'd made your move while you had the chance, I…she would have said yes"

He looked away by glancing down. "I…can't lose you" A dark expression crossed his face. "Haze, you can't leave…NOT AGAIN!" He pulled her closer to himself. "If you're not from here, what exactly was so different in your world?"

She paused until she noticed how much more frustrated he became. With a sigh, she explained about how the fight with the Shredder happened, including the Mikey bits. He frowned deeply throughout her tale. As she finished, she fingered the scars on her plastron. She then explained the aftermath of it briefly.

"You're right, you're not our Haze" He looked more serious, trying to hide his feelings once more.

She looked away. "Leo, I have to go see Mikey, he may be the only one who can help me now"

He sighed. "Good luck finding the Mikey you knew…know in Sun, he's nothing like he was" He looked disheartened.

She lent up and kissed his cheek. "Don't get me wrong, I love you, but to me you'll always be my Onii Chan"

He recoiled suddenly. "You called me…but no one's ever called me…" A smile slipped across his features, and suddenly hugged her. "Thank you…imouto"

She felt tears fall on her. She looked up to see him crying lightly.

"We're not that close here…" he explained. "I wish we were…but it's always the jobs, not family" he exhaled slowly.

"Goodbye Leo" She whispered softly and broke away from the hug, leaving to see the 'Sun' once more.

"I also foresaw this" Mikey spoke, his eyes shut almost as if he were meditating.

"I'm going to see the Shredder" she declared to him.

He opened his eyes. "And you wish me to attend?"

"Yes"

He sighed. "I told you, I am of neither side…"

"And I'm telling you I can't do this alone. The Mikey I learnt to love would never leave my side, especially to face the Shredder by myself," she narrowed her eyes, "Even if he was influenced by power!"

He raised an eye ridge. "The flower will stand tall until…"

She cut him off again. "SHUT UP WITH YOUR DAMN PREDICTIONS!" She shouted. "All I want to know if you'll help me?"

"I will" he paused, quickly adding. "Evil will fail as Justice prevails"

"Okay…was that a prediction or you being the comic geek you normally are?" She put her hands on her hips.

Violet finally received a genuine smile from him. "Hey, you always did bring out the best in me…" he paused then added with a grin "…Babe"

Extra Notes: Just so you know, I'm assuming in this world that when Bishop captured Splinter in 'Bishop's Gambit' the turtles didn't go and rescue him as they didn't have the help of LH.

So, any questions? :D
