Author's Note:
This is a rewrite of the 2014 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie with OC inserts. I did this mostly for myself, so if you don't want to read it, that's fine. I realize it's not the most creative thing to do, rewriting a pre-existing movie, but it still took time. An entire year in fact. And it's similar to using a base to draw or filling in a colouring book. So please don't leave any comments saying how this is lazy or anything. It was strictly for fun. Thank you.

The turtles and their human friends ran outside just in time to see Shredder's helicopter flying off.
"We gotta move! Let's go!" Leo cried.
"Sacks is airborne!" Raph realized.
"Flight time to Manhattan is 19 minutes!" Don informed them.
"Get us out of her, Donnie," Leo ordered. Don scrambled around the side of the damaged news van and pulled his goggles down to examine the area. He scanned for any available means to flee the premises and get them back home before the toxin was released. He located a trailer truck that would get the job done, and almost immediately after noticed the Foot soldier standing between them.
"Ohmygosh! They have guns!" Donnie squealed.
"Get down! Get down!" Leo called out as the bullets came flying towards them. The turtle brothers stood in the way of the barrage to protect April, Kaitlyn and Vern. The bullets ricocheted off their shells and back towards the Foot, ceasing their firing.
"Hah! Are you guys okay?" Leo asked, looking around to his kin.
"We're bullet proof," Raph spoke, stating the fact they had all just discovered.
"Suh-weet!" The bullets came again once the Foot gathered themselves and reloaded their weapons, causing the turtles to flinch. "Can you drive that truck?" Leo asked, pointing to Vern.
"Yeah."
"We're on, Raph. ready?" The turtles let out their battle cry and backed up into the spray of bullets. Raph turned and grabbed the gun of the nearest Foot soldier, kicking him and breaking the gun across his back. He spread his arms as more bullets rang towards him and bounced off his chest. Leo sent kick after kick at the trio of soldiers attempting to surround him. One tried to take him from behind, but quickly had his gun removed from his hands and sent flying by a single, powerful punch. Donnie spun his staff around, bouncing it off several Foot soldiers as he and his brothers fought their way to the truck. Mikey leapt up and rolled across the top, loosely securing himself by gripping the edge of the trailer. "Everybody in the truck!" Leo ordered. "We gotta go, go, go! Move!" Kaitlyn and the remaining three turtles climbed into the back as April and Vern took the front.
"Vern, you know how to drive this, right?" April asked in a rush.
"Yeahyeahyeah," Vern responded. "Just gotta hot wire this thing, I guess. Classic blue wire, red wire situation." April scrunched her face at his absurdity before banging on the back of the cab and calling for Kaitlyn. She phased through, leaving her lower half in the trailer. The three turtles in the back paused momentarily to stare in confusion and awe.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Start the engine," April ordered. Kaitlyn's eyes and hands glowed white again as she pointed at the truck's key ignition and used her telekinesis to start the engine. She smiled at Vern, who stared at her blankly with jaw dropped, and then phased back into the trailer behind them. Raph walked up to Kaitlyn, gave her a look that said she'd be answering questions later, and then began pounding on the trailer wall to get Vern's attention, "Drive!"
"I'm on it!" Vern assured him, snapping out of his daze and putting the truck in drive.
"C'mon, c'mon!" Raph continued.
"That's all I need is a back seat driving talking turtle!" Vern smashed through the metal gate at the opposite end of the property, which was easier than smashing the van through the wooden gate earlier, and they began heading down the mountain road. The Foot soldiers ran to their vehicles to pursue their escapees. "I shouldn't have doubted you. I'm sorry I didn't stick up for you," Vern told April as the Foot drove after them. "I can't believe that you're not crazy. How crazy is that?" April glared at Vern as his attempt at comic relief failed miserably.
"Donnie, what's the fasted way back to Manhatten?" Leo asked as they saw the Foot vans coming up towards them and gaining quickly.
"We just need to stay on this road. If we can get to the maintenance hatch at the bottom of the hill, there's a sewer line 2.4 miles from here," Donnie explained while reading the schematics on his wrist computer, adjusting his glasses afterwards.
"Mikey!" Leo called out. "Let 'em know up there!"
"I'm on it!" Mikey called back as he made his way to the front of the truck. He looked forward and saw a Foot van shoot out of nowhere, rushing towards them head on. "Oh, no!" The Foot soldier pulled out a missile launcher and Vern jerked the steering wheel the moment his wide eyes saw it. The truck began to jackknife as it narrowly avoided a head on explosion. The truck's passengers were jostled by the force of the blast, and Vern tried to regain control as the truck slid sideways in the snow. Kaitlyn held onto a strap inside the trailer to keep herself from tumbling around as Leo was knocked out of the back. She raised a glowing white hand to telekinetically pull him back into the truck, but she lost sight of him when he bounced off a tree and landed on a boulder. The truck came to a halt, the trailer teetering over a steep hill off course from the road.
"Vern! Gogogogogogo!" April panicked as the Foot van from before drove closer with a reloaded missile launcher. Vern slammed on the gas, but all the wheels did was skid in the fine, white powder, causing the truck to lose balance and tip further over the hill. "Vern, hit the breaks!" In the trailer, Kaitlyn had started to make her way to the open doors in hopes of finding Leo.
"Wrong way! Wrong way!" Vern shouted as the cab of the truck was slowly raised into the air. The truck slid backwards towards a recovering Leo. Kaitlyn had gotten to the back of the trailer and was about to grab Leo with her telekinesis when the sliding of the truck threw off her balance and she fell on her back.
"Oh, come on," she mumbled.
"Leo, move!" Donnie called a warning to him. Leo spun around to see the danger and proceeded to duck and roll out of the way. The truck spun around to face the appropriate direction as they continued down the hill, causing Kaitlyn to slide to the front of the trailer closer to Raph and Don.
"How far off course are we?" Raph asked Don.
"Actually," Don replied, "we're on a bit of a short cut. But we need to keep going down. Straight down."
Mikey finally made it to the front and popped down onto the windshield to relay Don's instruction, "Hey! Just. Keep. Going. Straight." He popped over to the passenger side. "What's up, Angel cakes?"
Leo, now far behind the others, got to his feet and began running down the hill as three Foot vans came up over the lip. They were advancing quickly and Leo knew they would run him over in seconds. He leapt up into a crouch, using his shell as protection, and bounced off one of their windshields. The force accelerated him down the hill and he began flying down the snowy slope on his shell. He swerved to avoid the trees as best he could. And then the soldiers started shooting tasered grapplers at him. Just another thing to dodge. Leo pulled out his sword and used them to manoeuvre his trajectory, able to slip between the trees better than the pursuing vehicles. But contrary to his best efforts, one of the tasers hit, sending electricity through him. Mikey saw their leader struggle and notified the others, "Guys! Leo's in trouble!"
"Shell's cracked. Just tape it up," Raph told Donnie, ready to go rescue his brother.
"Allow me to be the badass for once," came Don's unexpected reply. Raph stared at him, realizing what he was going to do. Don returned his stare with a crooked smile before back flipping out the back of the truck towards Leo. Kaitlyn fumbled to her feet and staggered towards the barrels Raph was using to support his balance. He looked over at her as she grabbed onto the barrels as well.
"I hope this isn't too exciting for you," he joked dryly.
"Not even close," she replied with a sly smile. She ripped off one of the barrel lids and charged out the back of the trailer. Raph watched, surprise and fascination evident on his face, as her hands and eyes glowed white. She thrust the lid towards the ground and caught it with her telekinesis in mid-air, planting her feet on it to make a makeshift hover board. She flew up the hill, catching up to Leo and Don as he grabbed his brother's arm and pulled him close.
"Hang on, Leo! Disengaging!" Don pulled off the taser and sent it back to the Foot who fired it by simply letting go. He swung his head around to see Kaitlyn flying beside him. "How are you doing that!?" he yelled.
"Not really a good time for explainations," she replied.
"Right. Sorry. Watch Leo," Don said before letting the van catch up to him, taking the force of the hit with his shell and leaving Leo to slide further down the hill. Kaitlyn stayed by his side as she watched Don work. "I've always wanted to try this," he said, pulling out his collapsed staff and positioning it underneath the van's fender. He extended it and let the other end collide with a raised section of the mountain face, sending the van airborne. Don snorted with glee, thrilled that his move had worked. "I got you, brother. One car down, two to go," Don told Leo, currently unconscious, after he caught up to him again and grabbed onto his shell to keep them together as they continued sliding down the hill at great speed.
"Nope!" Kaitlyn called to Don, pointing up the hill as two more cars emerged. She didn't see as another taser shot out, this time making contact with Don's shoulder.
"Mikey!" Don cried as Kaitlyn telekinetically removed the taser.
"Okay, that's it," Mikey said, pulling out his rocket board and preparing to answer his brother's call for help. "I'll take it from here." He boosted off the back of the truck and flew onto one of the remaining Foot vans, knocking off the gunman. He returned his board to his shell and punched a hole in the top of the van, grabbing onto the steering wheel inside. "Raph, I'm driving!" He called, as the Foot soldier tried to regain control of his vehicle. Mikey spun the vehicle out of control, and Raph cannonballed into the back window, smashing through it easily. He slammed the driver into the wheel horn and used his shell to press up against the other armed soldiers, letting fired bullets ricochet of him. Mikey removed his arm from the hole, opening the door instead to remove the Foot from the seat entirely.
"Hey, purple turtle," Kaitlyn called, still flying down the hill beside Leo and Don.
"Donatello," he corrected.
"Donatello," she repeated. "Watch my back?" He nodded and she spun around to face up the hill, but still flying down it on her makeshift hover board. There were three cars still chasing them. She focused on the closest one as she lifted a tree out of the ground and slammed it into the hood of the car. It flipped into the air and somersaulted a few times before slamming into the ground upside down. Kaitlyn looked behind her, to make sure her path was still clear, and then beside her at Don, giving him a smile. His stunned expression slowly turned into a smile.
"Telekinesis," he realized. She gave him a nod. "What else can you do?"
"Watch this," Kaitlyn told him as she raised a hand towards another Foot van. Don watched as a swirl of snow surrounded it, locking it in a personal blizzard. Being unable to see, the driver began swerving the car in a panic, hitting a large snow bank and flipping over. It rolled down the hill before crashing into a group of trees.
