[He saw someone standing in the darkness. The silhouette was standing amongst thousands of wailing voices.
Leo crept closer. This was the first time he had seen a figure in his dreams.
As Leo neared, he saw that the silhouette was a man. He had midnight black hair and piercing blue eyes. He stood tall and proud, with a stout yet pale face.
However, the man was crying.
Leo stopped. He didn't need to ask why he was crying. He somehow knew.
The crying of the ill.
It hurt even him, Leo, who had nothing to do with this. It hurt because he was helpless. The man was helpless also.
And that is why the man was silently crying.
Suddenly, the man turned to face Leo. Leo stepped backwards in surprise, as piercing blue eyes met his.
Suddenly, the man spoke. But Leo couldn't hear him. He strained and strained to hear it, but Leo was too far away...]
Leo suddenly jolted awake. He groaned. His head and body hurt. As if he had fallen a long way down.
Leo groaned again and rolled onto his back. And blinked.
A wide sky filled with stars was staring down at him. A gentle wind suddenly picked up, gently waving the field of grass.
Wait.
Field of grass?
Leo sat up quickly. Were was he?
He looked around, and saw that beside him lay his brothers, Sensei, and April and Casey. They were all stirring and groaning.
"Ow..." Mikey moaned, as Raph rubbed his head in pain.
"Where are we?" Raph asked, looking around.
Don kneeled down to examine a blade of grass.
"Guys! I don't think we're in New York anymore...Frankly, I don't even think we're on Earth!"
Casey looked at Don. "Why's that?"
Don held up the blade of grass. The weak light of the moon was just enough to see what color the grass really was. It was lavender.
"Have any of you seen grass this color?"
Everyone shook their heads. "Nope." "Nuh-uh."
Don stood up. "Look. Even the sky is different. It's pure black."
Raph shrugged. "So? What's the diff?"
April answered for Donny. "On Earth, the sky is never pure black. There is actually no such thing as pure black. On Earth, the sky was always midnight-blue. Not black."
"And look!" Don added, swirling around. "The trees! They're bark is sky-blue!"
Splinter stood as well. "Hmm...Donatello!" He said, looking at Don. Don looked at him.
"Yes, Master Splinter?"
"Do you have an idea of why we are here, my son?"
Don thought for the second. Finally, "The computer."
Everyone stared at him.
Don rolled his eyes. "Oh come on! Don't you remember the blinding flash of light?"
Mikey nodded suddenly. "Oh yeah! I remember! We were reading that weird game, when the computer acted all strange..." Mikey shivered. "But why?"
Raph shrugged. "We all want to know that, Mikey."
"But that's going to have to wait."
Everybody looked at Leo. Raph cocked his head. "Why's that Leo?"
Leo nodded towards the edge of a forest on their left side. "We've got company."
True to his word, there were shadows of figures staring at them from the distance. They were dressed in pale brown, and held spears in their hands.
Everyone, except Leo and April got into a defensive stance. April, stepped back to keep out of the way of the fight.
Leo, meanwhile was having an internal war.
'Those figures.' He thought. 'Where have I seen them before?'
Suddenly, he remembered the man in his dream. The man had worn a pale brown gown, like the figures were wearing now, and the man had held a spear in his hand.
Leo closed his eyes. All of a sudden, he remembered the dream he had just recently in full detail. Not the whole dream, only bits and pieces of it.
Suddenly, he remembered the man, facing him and speaking. Abruptly, he felt closer and he understood what he was saying.
["You will meet some of my people. Do not fight them. Do not be afraid. Sanctus."]
Leo opened his eyes. "NO! Raph! Don! Mikey! Put your weapons away! They're not the enemy!"
The group turned to look at him. Raph blinked. "What are you—"
Leo shook his head. "I don't know!...Just trust me! Please?"
His brothers looked at each other, as if trying to make up their minds, before finally putting their weapons slowly away.
Leo sighed in relief.
Then, he walked past them all. He didn't really know what he was doing, but it was almost as if something was guiding him.
Behind him, he heard his brothers calling for him in confusion. Behind him, he heard Splinter call to him to return.
But for once in his life, Leo just smiled and ignored them.
The figures raised their spears threateningly as Leo got closer to them. Leo stopped.
"Sanctus."
He whispered. But everyone heard it. Even his brothers.
Don's jaw dropped. That was latin for 'Peace'! But Leo didn't know latin...none of them did!
The next thing, stunned them all even further.
The figures instantly dropped their spears and nodded to Leo, replying "Sanctus. Forgive us. We did not mean to startle you and—" The leader paused, looking behind Leo at the others.
"—your kind."
Leo smiled. "Sorry for startling you. It was an accident that we appeared here. Really. We mean no harm."
The leader nodded.
Don, Splinter, and the others slowly neared to stand behind Leo.
The leader looked at them. "It is good that you did not attack us. For if you had, we'd have interpreted you as a threat, and thus would have been forced to annihilate you all."
Don looked at Leo. "But how did you know...?" He asked, quietly, so only Leo could hear him. But Leo just shook his head, signaling that this was not the time.
Meanwhile, Splinter explained how they came to be here.
The leader looked at them. "Strange. Earth is a whole other galaxy."
Raph stared. "Great! Just great! All because of a stupid internet e-mail that Donny had to open!"
Don glared at him. "You told me to!"
Raph humphed. "You know better than to listen to me!"
Suddenly, the leader of the strangers interrupted. "An e-mail?"
Don nodded. "I received an e-mail on my computer about some game, called the Caerulus Aurae or something. Do you know of it?"
The leader suddenly smiled. "Yes! We sent that e-mail!"
