Okay, I know it's been a REALLY long time since I updated. Sorry. I had writers' block on this story as to how they act when they meet each other. And also I had this scene in my head that I wanted to work in and I had to figure out how. Guess which scene it was, and write it in your review. Whoever guesses correctly gets to be written into the story. Is that a good prize? I would think so. I like to be written into other people's stories, and you all should too. Happy Reading!
Thanks go out to:

Hexadecimal-my second reviewer
Blondy bear-my 3rd and 4th reviewer and one of my bestest friends and reviewer of ALL of my stories.

Leo felt himself being picked up by at least three people, and he struggled, as a reflex. All that got him was being dropped abruptly onto his head, as two of the people let go at the same time. When his head cleared, he diverted all pain energy to his legs as *they* were dropped. A female voice, coming from the area below his feet, erupted loudly in his ringing ears. "Damnit, Fred, Shellie. You might've woken him up. The chloroform won't work forever, you know."
"Sorry, Marnie." Came another female voice. Leo shifted positions and he heard frantic movements. He struggled to sit up, and to make himself see, but he couldn't. There was a mighty crash off to his left, and he heard the tinkling of glass hitting concrete, a sound he knew all to well from living with Raph. The two voices came again, this time laced with fright.
"Fred? Oh, Fred! Are you all right?" And such. Leo was forgotten for a moment. But not for long. A female voice with a decidedly Brooklyn accent came from somewhere above his head.
"Hey! You girls gonna bring him into the cage, or not should we just let him lie right there?"
"Gilly!" It was the first voice again. "If you don't stop talking to me like that, I'm gonna throw you out."
"Who made you Fearless Leader? And you make that threat every day." Leo felt hands grab his forearm and drag him across the floor and down a step. He knew that someone had just stepped over him, and then he heard a metal door slam. Seconds later, a lock clicked into place. Leo tried unsuccessfully to sit up again, and then his mind tumbled back into darkness.
~*an hour later*~
Four turtle brothers awoke to find themselves in some sort of room, portioned off by a metal grid with a door. A locked door. As Raph and Mickey jerked at the door, Leo yelled out beyond the divide and Donny examined the other walls. There was a soft light coming from the room that was on the other side of the grid, and the brother's soon found themselves looking at two mutants is a very bright room. Two decidedly female mutants.
One, some sort of a cat, stepped forward and unlocked the door. She motioned for the brother's to come out, and they did. "What the hell did you lock us up for?" Leave it to Raph to yell un-necessarily.
"I will explain, if you will all have a seat. She gestures to some chairs set up around a large, round table. Already in one of the chairs was another girl, some sort of lizard. Kneeling next to her was a turtle, who was holding a washcloth and a bottle of peroxide. On the opposite side of the room, another turtle, the one they'd been following, stood leaning in the doorway of a darkened room. She scowled at them, and took a drag off a cigarette.
The cat-girl and the other, somewhat snakelike, from what they could see of her face-she was wearing an over coat that fell to past her knees- went and sat down on either side of the lizard-girl in the chair. The brother's looked at each other, and went to sit.
The cat girl sat next to the lizard-girl who was already sitting, and the snake-girl sat next to her. Leo sat opposite the cat-girl, with Mikey and Donny on his right and left. Raph sat next to Mikey, his chair scooted back from the table a bit. Leo gave him a look that plainly said 'Don't be a complete ass.'
The cat-girl spoke. "You're probably all wondering why we locked you up, and I'm sorry about that, but we have to protect ourselves. It's just us five now, and we don't fight as well as the Others did." The way she said Others, it was plainly capitalized. "We used chloroform on you, by the way. I will tell you where we came from, if you tell us about yourselves. All right?"
"Yeah, sure." Said Leo. "We'll even go first." He then proceeded to tell their story, ad since you all know what that is, or else you wouldn't be reading this, I'm not going to type it all out. "Our names came from a book of Renaissance artists. Leonardo" He pointed to himself. "Donatello" He pointed. "Michelangelo" Duh. "And Raphael." He (gasp) pointed.
The cat-girl shook her head, and said "I knew TGRI had something to do with this. They started all of our problems, as well." The four brother's knew that she was about to launch into a Splinter-like rendition of the girls' story, so they made themselves comfortable. "We five were child-volunteers, illegally promised money and other things, like a car, for instance, nearly twelve years ago, now. None of us had ever heard of TGRI before, as the oldest among us, me, was only four. We made friends sitting in the waiting room, and then when the scientists came in, they led us each into a different room. There were ten of us, at that time, all girls. We all sat in our rooms for about five minutes before someone came back in, carrying a small covered cage. We were told to take the animal out of the cage, and hold it until they came back. My animal was a cat. Their animals were a snake" Thus the pointing begins, going around, starting with the snake-girl (obviously), and ending with the girl they had followed. "a chameleon, and two turtles. We all did, and when they came back, they were fully covered in protective gear, holding a beaker full of green ooze. They threw the ooze at us, and it covered not only us, but also the animals we were holding. It was the most frightening thing I had ever seen. The change was rather quick, though very disorienting. I, and most of the others, passed out. Waking up to find the five us in a large cage. The cage was set up like a normal house, but a cage it was. There was one large window, and it looked out into a playroom of sorts. In it were five others creatures. They were the animals that we had been holding. As we were made more like animals, they became more human, as you all know too well. They held us there for about five months, making us train each day, in fighting skills, and then later regular schooling. We were allowed to visit with the animals that we had unintentionally helped to create. Then nearing the end of the fifth month, the teachers stopped coming. They brought us food only twice a day, and they left all of us with the animals for a week straight. The animals didn't talk, so we didn't think they knew how. But one night Fred woke up to hear them planning escape. She begged them to take us with them. Thankfully, they agreed, but it was too late. The scientists had noticed our guilty looks, and our quietness, and decided to push their plans forward. They knew that TGRI was going bust, and they didn't want to deal with any left over experiments. They tried to kill us. They took us outside for the first time in five months, and led us to the water treatment facility. There, they took us to where there is an entrance to the sewers, and told us to close our eyes. One by one, they pressed a rag to our faces, and shoved us in the water as we passed out. It was sheer luck that any of us made it. I don't really know how we did. We all had names that the teachers had been calling us for so long, that we've forgotten our real names. I am Marnie, this here," (and again with the pointing) she gestured to snake-girl first, then went around in the same order as with the animals. "is Scotty, this is Fred, who is nearly always clumsy, this is our nurse, Shelly." Marnie sighed, and then looked at the last girl. "And over there, is our resident bitch."
Marnie gave a steely-eyed glare to the girl they followed. She turned her head to glare back, her long red hair and black duster standing out in the gray concrete room. She uncrossed her arms and flipped Marnie off, and pulled out a cigarette and a lighter with the other hand.
"Gilly!" started Shelly, but a Look from the other girl, Gilly, stopped her quick. She left the wall and walked past them all to an open doorway left of the original entrance. Our turtle boys shifted uncomfortably and Shelly finished cleaning Fred, and Marnie glared at the empty doorway. Gilly emerged, now having her gangster-style hat and combat boots. With the attention of all in the room, she crushed out the spent cigarette with the toe of her boots and pulled on a pair of black leather gloves. 'Five fingers..." thought Mikey, fleetingly.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?" yelled Marnie, startling them all.
"Out" Gilly said coldly, green eyes smoldering. "That is, if it's okay with you, Fearless Leader." She turned on her heel, tossed her hair, and swept out, unbuttoned duster flowing behind her dramatically.
"Déjà vu." Muttered Leo.
"Great exit." Said Raph to Mikey.
"Wish I could do that." Agreed Mikey. Donny and the others just kept quiet.

So how was that? Okay, here's a little poll for you all.
Which was better?
A) The original cartoon series
B) The Next Mutation series
There, that question was simple enough, right? So you should all answer when you review. Because you will be reviewing. (Begins to swing watch in front of reader's eyes) *You are getting sleepy. Verrry sleepy. You are now asleep. You will respond only to my voice. You will review this story as much as you can, and answer all questions. When I snap my fingers, you will wake up and remember none of this.* (
