Thanks for the review Ramica, glad to know this will be complete surprise for you. Just to let you know, it will change from the game in order to fit the way i want the story to go.

Further disclaimer: i unfortunately do not own the TMNT, otherwise i would huggle them to pieces and would not be working at the place i work at now.

As Michelangelo and his brother ventured out the path forked. To the right was a barred gate, to the left a dark path towards the mansion.

"Hold on I want to check out what's by the gate first," Raphael said. Michelangelo nodded glancing back at the mansion as they went. Getting closer the lighting flashed showing the outline of a ghastly figure! Then it was gone. "What the hell!" Raphael swore grabbing his sai's. Looking around warily, Michelangelo and his brother were both getting set on edge. "This might be the way out to get to the shore," Michelangelo said stepping up to the gate. "It's locked dude, we'll need the code to get it open!" "Then let's get to the mansion," Raphael said. The faster we get to Leo and Donnie the better I'll feel." "I agree with you dude, this place gives me the creeps," Michelangelo shuddered. Heading back up the path, naked trees stood out as silhouettes against the dark sky. The branches were high in the air, like jagged points, almost like skeletal fingers. Owls hooted as they continued along the path. Passing under low and broken trees the two wondered how much progress they were making.

"Raph, Mikey, come in," Leonardo's voice sounded.

"Yeah, we're here," Raphael replied picking up his radio.

"Be on your guard," Leonardo said. "I'm getting weird feeling from this place, I'm not even sure of what's going on."

"Same here bro," Raphael replied. "Hang tight, we're on our way." Nodding to his brother they continued on. Passing a curve, they saw a brick wall, with an opening in it. Going through to the right was a small stable looking structure while the path continued up ahead. Raphael halted mid-step once he glanced at the steps leading up to the stable.

"Mikey," Raphael grabbed his brother's shoulder to stop him. "So you have that flashlight in your pack?" "Yeah, right here," Michelangelo pulled it out and aimed it at the steps. His eyes widened as Raphael's. "Raph, that's blood on the steps." "Let's look inside," Raphael said. A howling broke the night followed by the low rumble of thunder. Inside there was straw strewn about along with some wood. Aiming the flashlight straight in, Michelangelo and his brother saw the beam cross over a figure lying in the back. "Oh my gosh," Michelangelo said quietly. "Stay back Shadows!" The man screamed. "Or I'll destroy you!" "We're not shadows. We won't hurt you," Michelangelo said turning off the flashlight. "Please let us see if we can help." "So it seems," the guy wheezed. "I won't shoot you as long as you stay back." "What happened to you?" Raphael asked. "This Island is a hell, the beast," The man took another wheezing breath. "If you are indeed not shadows, flee get out, while you still can." "How did you get here?" Michelangelo asked. "The last shipment," The man said, coughing a little. "Look, we're going to get our brothers then send help for you," Raphael said getting ready to leave. The man let out a cackling laugh. "But you'll die like everyone else." Lying back, his head slumped to his chest. "Runnnn." "We'll be back," Michelangelo quoted his brother, both exiting the barn. "Did you see that Raph? His left arm was missing." "I saw Mikey," Raphael nodded. "I didn't want to point it out and have him shoot us though. "There was something next to him, did you see it?" "Look like a dead dog or something," Michelangelo said. Walking down the steps, both brothers jumped when they heard gun shots then a ghastly scream from behind them. Once glance at each other and both ran back to see what had happened. The guy was gone; no trace of him what so ever. The dead carcass that looked like a dog from a distance was even more grotesque up close. From the sounds of howling they could both presume it was a wolf who thought it had easy prey. "Hey Mikey there's a small key here," Raphael said picking up a small bronze key. "Take it we might need it," Michelangelo said. "Let's go, I don't want to stay here too much longer." Silently agreeing with his brother, both went back out not looking back to where the guy once lay. Outside the path rounded up to another gate, locked. Pulling out the key, Raphael unlocked it letting it swing open. Walking down the path, they found a gun sitting next to a case of bullets.

"I'm taking this," Raphael picked up the gun and grabbed the bullets. "Just in case." Continuing along the path curved a bit more doing an S curve reaching another barred gate. Pushing through the turtles paused when they heard howls and hisses in the distance.

"Guard dogs?" Michelangelo question not looking happy.

"Possibly, we better be ready for them." Raphael cocked the gun and walked on.

"Dude have you ever used a gun?" Michelangelo followed.

"Yeah, up at the farm with Casey," Raphael smiled at his brother. "He prefers his hockey sticks to guns but he knows how to shoot. Then he taught me." The path went up to some stairs that had something lying in a bundle at the bottom.

"Ugh, one of the guard dogs," Michelangelo drew a face of disgust.

"Yeah," Raphael sighed. Jogging up the stairs, led to a long brick porch path up to the estate. Heading to the right barking caught their attention as a guard dog ran at them.

"Damn it," Raphael aimed and shot. It took three shots before the dog went down. Continuing along, they followed the path taking down a few more loose guard dogs that tried to attack them, until they came to another set of stairs. Following it up, they noticed here the brick path was missing bricks in the middle. Statues were along some of the sides, people possibly saintly figures.

"I don't think these statues are doing any good here," Michelangelo flashed his light over them.

"Hey another stair," Raphael called. "I can see the house from here."

"Good lets go!" Michelangelo jogged up the stairs and yanked on the gate. "It's locked!"

"Geez," Raphael sighed and picked up the radio. "Leo, Donnie, you there?"

"Yeah, there's some weird stuff in here," Donatello replied.

"Like what?" Raphael asked.

"Shadows, they're alive and attacking us," Donatello said. "I've never seen anything like this."

"We'll be there as soon as we can," Raphael said. "Just be careful, okay?" There was no reply.

"Donnie! Leo!" Raphael shouted into the radio. Gunshots from the house was heard, both turtles turned their heads to the sound.

"Raph, what happened?" Michelangelo gave his brother a worried look.

"Shit," Raphael put the radio away. "I don't know, but we need to find a way in!"
