"Ronnie Anne!" Lincoln said, completely overwhelmed at the sight of his old friend again. He ran to his friend, as both gave the usual human reaction after finding out someone you cared about is okay.
"Loser."
"Moron." At least it was to them.
"What is up, little Loud?" Bobby said, as he touched knuckles with Lincoln.
"Ronnie Anne! You're totes alive!" Leni said, squeezing RA with her hug.
Next to Lincoln, Mikey was giving Lincoln a very funny look, with a huge grin on his face. "Ok, what up with the funny face?"
"You know why!" Mikey said, nudging Lincoln and pointing to RA. "You got yourself a girlio!"
"Um, who is…?"
"Michaelangelo, my new friend from another world, turtle who's also a mutant that knows ninjitsu." Lincoln said.
"What?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"You missed a lot when you were gone." Lincoln said.
"A turtle who's also a ninja?" Bobby said. "That is rad man!"
"I'm the most rad of them all!" Mikey said to Bobby. "I'm the party dude! So, how long have you known each other?" Mikey asked.
"Mikey, we are just friends, and nothing more than that!" Lincoln said.
"Relax, Link! I won't judge! I got a girl myself back in the NYC! She's a time traveling hottie from the future!" Mikey said.
"I'm not sure if you're telling the truth, or if it's another one of your geeky delusions." Jenny said to Mikey.
"Oh man! Jenny!" Ronnie Anne said. "What happened to you?!"
"I got impaled by a monster, after it disintegrated my brother." Jenny said.
Ronnie Anne hesitated. "Man, I really did miss a lot when I was gone."
"Hold it!" Bobby said, seeing the seven in the room. "Where's my babe? Leni, please tell me Lori is alive!"
"Okay, Lori is alive!"
"She is?"
"I…I don't know. I'm just saying what you told me to say."
"Where's…everybody?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Sorry guys." Lincoln said. "It's just us."
"We don't know where the rest of our friends are." Manny said. "Vicky separated us."
"So that crazy sitter did try to get rid of you guys!" Ronnie Anne said.
"We were the only lucky ones to escape." Lincoln said.
"That crazy sitter is going to pay for separating me from my babe!" Bobby said, looking angry. "Don't worry, Lori! I will avenge you!"
"At least you got us out of where we were." Jenny said. "We were all about to become a volcano's dinner until you rescued us!"
"Jimmy's recallers or whatever they are wouldn't work, so we had to use Lisa's machine." Ronnie Anne said.
"Say, you got my sisters invention to work. But hey, how did you get to my house?" Lincoln asked.
"With the help of some...friends." Ronnie Anne sounded annoyed at that last statement. She tried to ignore the Operation Last Resort disaster in her head.
The others went downstairs, where Zim was already on the couch with a robe.
"Is that like my robe?!" Leni asked.
"What's his problem?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Funny story: Zim found out his Tallest lied to him, and now he's going through a depression." Lincoln said.
"Oh. That…kinda stinks?" Ronnie Anne was confused.
"Trust me, the psycho deserves it." Jenny said, with her eyes on Mikey.
"Yo Manny, there's something stuck to your butt." Mikey pointed at Manny, as Manny pulled off something familiar: Red goggles.
"Oh my gosh, it's Frida's goggles!" Manny said. "I had them the whole time on my butt?!"
"Yeah, they were there since we landed in Volcano Island." Jenny said.
"And you didn't tell me?!" Manny asked.
"Maybe if you weren't so focused on stealing things, you would've felt something!" Jenny said, as Manny held the goggles. He had a sad look on his face, with a reminder on why he was stealing in the first place.
"We really should get out of here." Ronnie Anne said. "I don't know what other crazy things that sitter has for us."
"Oh, didn't you hear?" Mikey asked. "We're not after Vicky anymore! We're now after the Magwu!"
"The what?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"We'll explain on the way out!" Lincoln said, as he was about to leave the house. "Are you in or are you out?"
"You serious? I'm in!" Ronnie Anne said.
"And so am I, little Loud!" Bobby said.
"Wait, what about your sisters machine?" Jenny asked. "Maybe we can take a faster route with it!"
Mikey then had an idea. "Before we do that, I think it's time to contact some allies."
….
Back in NYC, April O Neil and Casey Jones were waiting inside their lair. April O Neil was busy pacing.
"This is bad! This is really bad! I've been sensing something tragic is happening out there!" April O Neil said.
"I should've went with the guys!" Casey said.
Suddenly, a portal opened up, and out popped Mikey, with sunglasses. Behind him was Lincoln and Ronnie Anne. "April! Casey! Come with me if you want to live!" Mikey said in a phony accent. "Just kidding dudes!"
"Mikey!" April said.
"Sweet Mikey, you're alive!" Casey said, fist touching with Mikey. "And what is up Link?"
"We've come here because we need your help!" Mikey said.
"Vicky ruined our world, and now she's unleashed a bigger monster than her!" Lincoln said.
"Well you count on Casey Jones for this one!" Casey said, pulling out his hockey stick.
"No offense, Casey, but I think we're going to need a lot more than a hockey stick!" Ronnie Anne said.
"Trust me, Ronnie, you do not underestimate Casey Jones." Lincoln said.
"Ain't that right, Link!" Casey responded. "And say, who's the new friend?" Casey raised his eyebrow.
"His girl…who's also a friend!" Mikey winked.
"Wait a minute. Mikey, where are your brothers?" April asked, starting to worry.
"I…I don't know dudes." Mikey said as his smile faded.
"No." Casey started to put two and two together. "Mikey, you're joking."
"They're not. They're absolutely not!" April said.
"Guys, calm down!" Lincoln said. "Raph, Donnie and Leo aren't dead! At least that's what I hope."
"The sitter did this, didn't she?!" Casey said, throwing his stick on the ground. "When I find her, I am going to rip her to shreds!"
"I knew we should've went with them!" April said. "Come on, guys! Let's find this sitter!" Then, entering the lair were two females. One appeared jumping down from the roof, the other appeared in a cloud of violet smoke. "Need any help?" Karai asked.
"Karai, Shini, shouldn't you guys be with the Foot Clan?" April asked.
"Not really a fan of the whole universe travel thing, but since this involves avenging my former brothers, I'm in." Karai said.
"Brothers?" Lincoln asked. "You mean Splinter was your dad too?"
"Now's not the time for revealing secrets, Lincoln!" Ronnie Anne said.
"Yeah, and besides, you two have to watch over Chompy and Ice Cream Kitty!" Mikey said. Karai looked at Chompy breath fire. "Yeah, I'm anything but a pet sitter." Karai said. "Let's go!"
"You named your cat Ice Cream Kitty?" Ronnie Anne asked.
"Because he is Ice cream!" Lincoln said, as Mikey opened the freezer to show RA the cat.
"Ew." Ronnie Anne said, freaked out. "Yet kinda cute."
"I would've named him Frosty, except it wasn't chill enough!" Mikey laughed at this. Even Lincoln chuckled at this. "Luan would've loved that pun!" Lincoln said.
Mikey then sadly looked at ICK, who gave a sad "Meow!"
"Why not just take him with us? I'm sure you got a cooler or something." Lincoln asked.
"I can't drag my frozen buddy out there!" Mikey said. "He might melt!" He then turned to ICK. "It's okay little guy. This isn't goodbye yet. Papa promises he will be back." Next to Lincoln, RA was trying to hide her tears. Mikey then closed the fridge, looking saddened at this. He then turned to Chompy. "You're the shell of the house now, Chompy! Here, watch some Crognard!" Mikey turned on the TV. "Look after your brother for me!" Mikey said to him. He then turned to his group. The six in the room headed out through the portal, seeming a bit bummed out at this. "Come on, Mikey. It's cool." Casey said, with hand against his back, as the two went out of the portal.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Yep, I'm kinda glad I went this route for the reboot. Made this many characters easier to write.
