Dimensional Adventure
"Erm, I said could you point us in the right direction", Leo said slowly, turning to Kida. "Not take us to play ice hockey, and why isn't this floor cold?"
Kida laughed. "This is the right direction, and the floor's not cold because it isn't a real ice stadium. See that door?" She pointed to a door on the other side of the ice stadium. "You have to get to there and go through it. That will lead you to some more yellow paths and trains, just pick one of them when you go through".
"And how are we supposed to know which one to pick?" Raph asked, narrowing his eyes at her.
"Easy, we guess", Donnie said.
"We'll guess wrong", Mikey said, shaking his head.
"Oh, c'mon, how hard can it be?" Leo asked, taking one step forward.
"Wait!" Kida said, standing in front of them all, her back facing the door. She looked at the turtles slowly, making them look away slightly. "You can't just jump to conclusions", she said. "This world's is full of surprises -"
"Save the lecture", Raph said.
Kida sighed angrily. People just didn't no the dangers. "Listen Doc, Dopey, Happy and Grumpy", she said to Leo, Mikey, Donnie and Raph. Raph's eyes narrowed even more when she called him "Grumpy", while his brothers stood there, mouths opens. "If you want my help you have to listen to me. You can't just walk across that ice and think everything's ok".
"And why not, wicked queen?" Raph asked, throwing his own remark back.
"Well, didn't you notice them?" Kida asked, pointing to the middle of the room.
8 ninjas now stood in the middle of the stadium, each one holding weapons. They wore silver suits, with black bandannas over their heads. Two of them held katannas, and two of them held sais, two held nunchucks, and two held Bo staffs. Strangely, their eyes were covered and the guys were surprised when their invisible eyes locked on theirs, making them take a few steps back.
Kida smiled at Raph. "Can you get pass them?"
"Pft", Raph muttered.
"You have to get pass them to get to the door", she said, looking at Leo, Donnie, Raph and Mikey. "Oh, and sorry for calling you dwarfs", she added with a small smile. With that, she vanished, leaving the guys with these 8 ninjas.
"Hey, where'd she go?" Mikey asked.
Leo shrugged. "C'mon", he said, pulling out his katannas and walking towards the ninjas with his brothers.
Donnie and Mikey pulled out their weapons, while Raph pulled out his sais, but immediately put them back again, shaking his head. Raph knew that he wouldn't need his weapons. These punks were going down.
Before Raph could think anymore, two ninjas holding sais came at him. Raph held out his arms, his hands fisted. The ninjas ran straight into his hands, knocking themselves down in a single punch. Kida watched this, sitting in a seat that looked over the stadium, unnoticed.
"Impressive", she said quietly.
Donnie looked at Raph and the unconscious ninjas on the floor next to him. He just managed to jerk his head back round when a Bo clashed with his. He ducked when another ninja tried to take his head off, and knocked him out when he came back up. One ninja remained standing looking at him. Donnie frowned, looking into the ninja's covered-up eyes, and shrugged.
"Erm, heh, goodnight?" Donnie grinned, and whacked the ninja around the head with his Bo. He smiled at Raph, who was heading over to Mikey.
Mikey faced Raph and grinned. "Hey Raph, how come you got two ninjas and I didn't?" Mikey asked, pointing to one ninja that was already on the floor, two nunchucks still in his / her hands. "Man, and to think Casey's missing this".
Raph grinned and brought his arm back, facing his brother in a punching position.
"Erm, Raph?" Mikey said, watching Raph's hand become level with his face. "W-what are you doing?" There was no way his brother would dare punch him THAT hard. Or even punch him for that matter.
Raph fist flew towards Mikey, and he closed his eyes tightly. He heard a 'bang!' next to him, and after a few short seconds later he opened his eyes to see a ninja on the floor behind him, and Raph polishing his hand on his plastron, smiling.
"Oh", Mikey grinned.
"Peace of cake", Raph said.
Mikey and Raph slapped each other a high three, and walked over to Leo who was putting his katannas in his shell and dusting off his hands. Two ninjas lay unconscious a few feet away from him, their own katannas lying on the floor next to them. Donnie came over, smiling slightly, and slapped Raph and Mikey a high three each.
"Aww, and Leo had to use weapons", Raph said in a baby voice.
Mikey and Donnie snorted, and muffled their laughter.
Leo grabbed a katanna from his shell and it flew right near Raph's face and stayed there. "Watch it, Raph", Leo warned, wanting to find Master Splinter as soon as possible and go home. He looked Raph right in the eye to show he was serious. Leo knew that his brother wanted to find Splinter also, but this couldn't be made a joke of, and Raph was the king of sarcastic jokes.
Raph narrowed his eyes and moved Leo's katanna aside with the tip of his finger. "Watch where ya pointing that thing, Leo", Raph said. "You don't wanna poke someone's eye out".
"Guys, guys", Mikey said, coming between them. "Let's just get going, 'kay?"
Leo put his katanna back on his shell and turned away from Raph. "Sure, Mikey", Leo said. "Let's get going". He headed to the door with his brother.
"Man, that was easy", Donnie said, walking behind with Raph. The only reply he got was a quiet "yeah" because his brother in red was looking at the seats around the stadium, as if scanning them for someone.

The guys found themselves on another yellow path. It was identical to the one they first started off on, and they watched the trains go past. Now that Kida had left them, they felt that they should choose carefully and, hopefully, they'd get lucky. Mikey, however, had his own way of choosing.
"Inni, mini, moni, mo -"
"Mikey", Raph groaned. "Stop it. That isn't gonna help!"
Mikey shrugged. "Why don't we split up?" He suggested. "If we go in twos we'll cover more dimensions that way and we'll probably find Splinter quicker".
Leo sighed. "We can't do that, Mikey. You heard what Keja said, there are loads of dimensions. We can't risk losing each other".
"It's not a bad idea", Raph said. "Wouldn't it -"
"No", Leo said firmly. "It wouldn't be a good idea and it isn't easier. I'm not going to split us all up. What if one of us gets trapped in a dimension and can't get out?" Leo shook his head. "No. No, we're not splitting up".
"Fine. Whatever you say, fearless leader", Raph muttered.
Donnie, hearing this, gave Raph a look before walking a few steps down the path, his brothers behind him. For some reason, Donnie got the feeling that his brothers were relying on him to pick a train, since he was always labelled the "Smart One", but he would feel so guilty if he ever suggested a dangerous dimension. Donnie watched a train go past him, then, remembering what Keja said, he held up his hand and said, "stop!" to the next train coming along. It stopped right in front of him, pausing a second before the doors swung open.
Leo, Raph and Mikey, who were looking at the ground, lost in thought, looked up when Donnie had shouted, "stop!" They all looked at the small red train in front of them and smiled at Donnie. They were glad that their brother had picked one, even if it was probably a guess.
Donnie smiled back. "Just guessing", he said.
Leo nodded and patted his brother's shoulder. "Good guess, Donnie", he grinned, and walked onto the train. Mikey slapped Donnie another high three and then Raph lightly punched his shoulder.
"If this is wrong", Raph said. "I'll kill you". But he smiled to show he was joking.
Donnie smiled back and titled forward, bringing his body into a bowing position, one arm over his plastron. "Ladies first", he laughed. He followed Raph onto the train, the doors closing behind them, and rested in a seat opposite Mikey and Leo, who were having a small conversation. Mikey was asking Leo allsorts of questions.
"Do you think we'll find Splinter?" he asked quietly.
Leo's face waved over with thought, and he looked at the train floor (with it's strangely red carpet) before looking at Mikey. "Of course we will, Mikey", Leo said, putting a positive attitude towards it. "It'll probably just take time".
Mikey, who wasn't fully convinced, just nodded and smiled.
"Maybe Kida knows where he is", Mikey said, after a few minutes silence. He looked over at Raph and Donnie, expecting an answer off them, but their eyes were lost in thought, their heads tilting to the floor, and they didn't hear his voice.
Leo shook his head. "I don't think she would, Mikey".
"Why not?" Mikey asked, frowning.
"Because . . ." Leo frowned. "I don't know. I just don't think she would, otherwise she would have told us about it . . . I think . . ."

"Er, Casey?" April asked. "Is it me, or are the guys missing?"
"Hmm", Casey, sitting himself on the sofa in the turtle's lair, looked around slowly. April was standing up in front of him, looking around nervously. "They're missing", he said, leaning back on the sofa.
"You don't care?" April demanded, standing in front of him with her hands on her hips. "What about Splinter? Or Mikey? Or Ra -"
"Wait! Don't say 'Raph'", Casey smiled. "You might bring him back".
"Casey!" April smacked him over the head. "You'll be regretting you said that if they don't come back! Oh God". April ran a hand through her hair. "What if they don't come back? But where could they have gone?"
"Chill, April. They'll be back".
April wasn't convinced. She checked the guys' room for a third time, including Splinter's, which strangely had a puddle in it, but there was no sign of them. April knew they couldn't have gone far. Maybe they just went out for a pizza. But would it take all 5 of them to get a pizza? Normally only two of them went. Or maybe they went up top for some practice. April knew Splinter took them to practice in the shadows of the roofs sometimes, but it was morning, normally they went at night. But didn't Splinter cancel their practice today?
"April. Stop looking around. They're not here", Casey said, watching her run from one room to another, her face set in thought.
"I know they're not here!" April snapped, and went into the kitchen to make herself a coffee, the puddle in Splinter's room pushed to the back of her mind.
"Women, they worry too much", Casey muttered, before lazily getting up from the sofa and going into the kitchen, hopefully to convince April that the guys were strong, and wherever they went, whether it was for a pizza or not, they would be back.

"Man, I'm hungry", Mikey moaned, putting his hands on his plastron.
Donnie and Raph had now fallen asleep, Donnie with his head on Raph's shoulder and Raph with one arm over an armrest, his head in his hand. Leo and Mikey were the only ones that remained awake. Mikey stayed awake because he was hungry, and Leo because he was too worried to sleep.
Leo looked at Mikey. "We only had breakfast about an hour ago", he said.
"I can't survive on that!" Mikey said.
Leo rolled his eyes and got up when the train came to a halt. "Come on, Mikey. Wake Donnie and Raph up. We're here".
()()()()()()()()
Donnie was easy to wake up, but Raph, well, that was another matter. After Mikey had shook his brother in purple awake, making him get up and stand at the doors next to Leo, he moved onto his brother in red, who was snoring softly. Mikey knew that when Raph snored he was in a deep sleep. He shook his shoulder gently.
"Raph", he whispered. "Raph, wake up".
Mikey shrugged and gave his brother a hard shove, more like a small punch. Raph shot up angrily, rubbing his eyes and looking at Mikey.
"Oh good, you're up", Mikey said, as if he hadn't done anything.
Raph frowned and stood up, stretching first.
Mikey gave a small smile. "We're here", he said, walking over to the doors.
Raph didn't say anything but walked over near his brothers, waiting for Leo to open the doors. He folded his arms and leaned against a poll that went through the ceiling and the floor. Raph sighed. Before Mikey had woken him up he had had a dream that they were all back home. Donnie typing away furiously on his computer, Mikey begging him to watch a movie, and Leo and Splinter meditating as always. It seemed so real that he didn't want to leave it, but it was only a dream and they never continue, no matter how much he wanted them to. Raph, though he hated to admit it - even to himself, was starting to think that Splinter was going to be a lot harder to find than they thought.
And, indeed, he was right as soon as the train doors opened.

(Third up. Thanks for the reviews Neosun (think I spelt your name right, heh) and Elle. This story doesn't seem to be getting as far as my others used to, but I'll still carry it on. I don't think this leaves you on a cliffhanger - maybe a small one - but I'm going away on holiday for 2 weeks in . . . hmm, couple of hours. Or I could already be there by the time this is posted! Well, peace out for 2 weeks!

"Erm, I said could you point us in the right direction", Leo said slowly, turning to Kida. "Not take us to play ice hockey, and why isn't this floor cold?"
Kida laughed. "This is the right direction, and the floor's not cold because it isn't a real ice stadium. See that door?" She pointed to a door on the other side of the ice stadium. "You have to get to there and go through it. That will lead you to some more yellow paths and trains, just pick one of them when you go through".

"Er, Casey?" April asked. "Is it me, or are the guys missing?"
"Hmm", Casey, sitting himself on the sofa in the turtle's lair, looked around slowly. April was standing up in front of him, looking around nervously. "They're missing", he said, leaning back on the sofa.
