A/N: Hey guys! Just a quick note. This song is from the show "Sailormoon" Reviews make me update sooner!

Italics: song

Bold: memory

I was trying to get the sweet good-bye factor. Did I?

Mike rode off out of the city and to where his destiny lied. He thought back to the fond farewell from his family.

I hear the voice of my destiny call

And I know I must go find my way

The hardest part will be leaving you all

And I'll miss you much more than words can say

Mike had just finished loading his shellcycle's sidecar.

"Michelangelo," Splinter said softly.

Mike turned around. "Sensei, I…"

Splinter shushed him. "Take a knee my son."

Mike did.

Splinter placed his hand on Mike's forehead and said a Japanese blessing. He then let him up and embraced him. "I love you my son and I am proud of you."

"Thank you Father. I love you too," Mike whispered.

"The sentiments unanimous bro."

Mike looked up at his brothers. He pulled away from Splinter and hugged Don.

"Please be careful Mikey," Don said softly. His voice was choked with emotion.

Mike smiled. "I will."

Raph was next. "Ya betta come home for holidays bro or we'll go to the Hall a Justice ta kick your shell!"

Mike laughed. "I promise."

"Good," Raph said as he pulled away. His eyes were glazed with unshed tears.

Leo hugged him. "You're my hero Michelangelo. No matter what happens you will always have a home here. You are our brother and that will never change. You will also always have a place on the team."

Leo's statement brought tears to his eyes. "Thank you."

"Hey Mikey!"

Mike turned to April and Casey. "Guys…"

April hugged him and kissed his cheek. "You be good and keep in touch."

"Of course I will," Mike said grinning.

Casey padded his shoulder. You may be Turtle Titan to the world but to us you'll always be Michelangelo.

I'll be only a memory away

If you need me you can call me anytime of day

I'll be there

It's okay

Only a memory away

Their words continued repeating in his head. After a few minutes the night before came to mind.

We've been together through good times and bad

You've always been there for me

I'll always treasure the best friends I have

Eternally

Don led Mike to the warehouse. "Every hero needs a cool ride!"

Mike's jaw dropped. "Donny, I…"

His Shellcycle had been upgraded and had a picture of a turtle that had two T's painted in it on each side of the bike. Flames surrounded the insignia. The same design was on his helmet.

"Mike I want you to make a good first impression on the Justice Force. Show them the hero you are!"

Mike was speechless. He couldn't believe how supportive they were!

I'll be only a memory away

If you need me

You can call me anytime of day

I'll be there

It's okay

Only a memory away

Mike arrived at sunset.

Silver Sentry, Amanda, Doc Dome, Metal Head and Lightning warmly greeted him.

"Welcome Turtle Titan. We'll introduce you tomorrow evening to the world," Silver Sentry said. "But first, Doc dome will take your vehicle to our garage and I'll show you to your room."

Mike nodded. "Thanks Silver Sentry." He grabbed his begs and followed him.

"You will start off as my sidekick until you get the hang of it." They stopped at a door. "Why don't you get settled in and give your family a call."

Mike looked around. The room was huge! He even had his own bathroom! The walls were painted green and had matching bed sheets and curtains.

He unpacked his things and found his shellcell. He called home to tell them he had made it safely.

Later he joined the team for dinner.

Mike was bombarded with questions from Amanda and Lightning. He gladly answered them with a lot of enthusiasm.

After dinner they all chatted and went on patrol for a few hours. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything going on that night so Mike didn't get a chance to show off his ninja skills.

They returned and bid each other goodnight.

Mike layed on his bed and almost instantly went to sleep.
