Descending down to earth

Part 3 of Teenage Mutant Aussie Turtles (yeah they're still ninjas and very cute!).

Disclaimer: I don't own the rights to the turtles – I do own the old 80's figurines (he, he).

The lovely boys in green are moving Down Under – closer to me, one of their biggest fans. Oh and warning there is one swearword in this chapter, so yeah PG for this chapter only. Just incase anyone is offended by one little word.

PPS. Also for the people who seem to not realise – I'm an Aussie so my spelling follows the English system of spelling – so don't bother picking me up on it. As far as I'm concerned – the American spelling is incorrect – but I don't go making a song and dance about it in my reviews.

"Donnie! Do something!" Leonardo hissed between clenched teeth, as the plane continued to descend towards the open ocean.

"I'm trying too!!"

Back in the passenger section of the plane, sat a worried giant rat and his two youngest sons.

"Well Mikey, nice to know we all made it to 18, sadly don't see us all making 19!"

"Calm my son, Donatello will work out how to fix whatever is the problem," Splinter said as calmly as he could manage. Mikey was balling his eyes out and praying.

"Please don't let us die. You can't let us die. We're too young! I know Splinter's not young, but please you gutta keep us all safe, I can't live without Splinter or my brothers."

"You know next time you want to give Mikey a present, can it is something that doesn't fly?" Raphael yelled.

"Shut up Raph, now is not the time for you and your smartass comments!" Leonardo called back.

"Well Mikey, been nice knowing ya as my little bro," Raphael patted the crying turtle's shell. "You were always my favourite turtle."

"Raphael, it will be alright. Donatello, how are you going?"

"Not now Sensei!"

"Great, so we're in a plane that's about to smash into the ocean and Donnie's last words to his father is "Not now, Sensei?! Gee, what are your final words of advice to me?"

"Shut up Raph," came his older brothers.

"Arh, Nice."

"I think you should try to meditate my son."

"What?! We're in some stupid plane Don built, which is nose diving towards the earth and this could be our final breath for all we know and you want me to MEDITATE?! I don't remember any of this being in our ninja training Sensei!"

"Raphael, hush, it will be alright!" Splinter tried to calm his son.

"But Splinter, Raph's right. We are going to die. I don't want to go to heaven if Raph's not coming too."

"I am sure that if this is our final moments that the great Lord will keep us together in heaven, as he did on earth. All five of us have stuck together this long, he is not going to separate the only four mutant turtles in all of his creation."

Leonardo ran into the passenger section.

"We need to book, NOW!" As he grabbed some of the belongings and throw some towards the other two.

"Great final words from our great leader!" Raph mumbled.

"How the hell we gona get out of this Leo?"

"Don's got an emergency life boat, which also acts as a parachute. Now, let's get to it!"

"What about Don?" Mikey asked, "We can't go without Donnie!"

"I'm right, here!" Donatello ran in from the cockpit and raced with everyone else to the emergency lifeboat.

"Um Don, have you ever actually tried this thing out?"

"No, but it's our only chance."

"Great"

"Shut up Raph!" Everyone yelled, as they all climbed into the boat, as Donnie pulled the release button.

Four giant turtles and a rat held onto the sides of the emergency life boat, as they watched their plane crash into the ocean and blow up. The lifeboat floated in the air for some time, as Donnie had designed it to float in air for up to ten minutes, before it would begin to float down to earth.

As the ten minutes neared, Raphael leaned over the side, "Hey look, there's a beach over there!"

"Where?! Mikey jumped up and leaned too far over and Raphael had just enough time to grab hold of his little brother's hand. "Mikey you dope!"

"Mikey!!!" Don and Leo ran to assist Raphael in dragging Mikey back onto the boat, just as Mikey let his hand slip from Raphael's hand.

"MIKEY!!!"

"RAPH!" Came Mikey's voice as he fell into the ocean below.

"Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" Came the four voices of his family above.

Oh, suspense, hope you like suspense. What's going to happen?! Is this the end of Mikey? Is this the end of the turtles? Poor Mikey – not the best 18th birthday is it?! Please Read and Reply and let me know what you think should happen next!
