Disclaimer: This is getting to be so monotonous. I don't own the TMNT. I do own the inspiration for it though.

Mike woke up the next morning and donned his Turtle Titan gear. He steped out of his room and went in earch of the kitchen. There he found Ananda. "Hi!"

She smiled warmly. "Good morning Michelangelo. Would you like an omelette?"

"Sure," he said.

THey chatted about different things until it came time to practice.

Silver Sentry stood with Doc Dome in the control panel. He spoke into the microphone. "All right Turtle Titan. We will start you off with level one. These are the enemies you are used to facing."

Mike nodded. Several Purple Dragons appeared around him. In no time he defeated them.

"Level 2"

Level 2 added Foot Ninja. Again he fought them with ease.

Level 3

Level 3 were the Elite ninjas and Foot Tech ninjas.

Mike felt as if he were Leo when he got ambushed that one Christmas. Still he fought them until they knocked him down and one of the Elites brought down their spear. "Oh Shell!"

"Computer end program!" Doc Dome commanded.

The ninja's vanished and Mike felt ashamed.

Silver Sentry flew down. "You're used to fighting alongside your brothers. Don't feel bad. No one coud have faced all of them alone and lived."

Mike sighd. "I now know how Leo felt."

Lightning rushed down. "Areyouokyoulookedlikeyouhadadistantlookonyourface."

"Yeah I'm fine,"Mike assured them. He got up and left.

Silver Sentry sighed. "He wasn't ready."

Doc Dome looked at him. "Doesn't he have any powers?"

"No."

"Thanwhyishehere? He'snosuperhero."

"Perhaps not but he is a ninja and has a good heart."

"Someninja," Lightning said.

Silver Sentry's acute hearing heard Mike turn and leave. "He heard us."

Mike ran to his room and leaned against the door. Lightning's words echoed over and over again in his brain. He began to doubt his own abilities.

Some ninja.

Show them the hero you are!

Don's words gav him the encouragement he needed.

His family was counting on him. He wanted to make them proud. He was going to shine!

That night he stood up on a platform with Silver Sentry.

"I am proud to introduce the newest member of the Justice Force: Turtle Titan!"

Mike waved and walked up to the podium. "Hello. Umm..."

"Where are you from?"

"How did you become a giant turtle?"

"What are your powers?"

"Are you a giant turtle?"

Mike took a deep breath. "Yes I am a giant turtle. I was exposed to some radioactive ooze when I was a baby. I have no powers but I am a ninja."

One reporter stood up. "How did you learn how to fight?"

"I was raised by a ninja master."

"Do you have any family?" another reporer asked

Mike looked at Silver Sentry. He didn't want to deny his family but..."No. My master and father were killed recently by the Foot Clan. I have no family."

Silver Sentry smiled at him. 'Good job Michelangelo.'

"Who are the Foot Clan?"

Mike smiled. "The Foot Clan is an ancient band of Ninja theives that once operated in Japan. Their leader goes by the name Shredder or Oroku Saki."

"Saki is the city's saviour!"

"It's an act," Mike said. "He killed my Master. He's a murderer."

That created a whole new conversation.

Silver Sentry led him off of the stage. "Looks like you might have given yourself a super villain. I commend you for protecting your family."

Mike smiled. "Thanks. I didn't lie though. Saki is the Shredder and he murdered my Grandfather."

"Grandfather?"

"Homato Yoshi was a guardian and my Master's Master. Eh long story."

Silver Sentry nodded. He then turned him so that he could meet his gaze. "I know you heard us Michelangelo."

Mike nodded. "Yeah I did. Why does Lightning hate me?"

"Lightning is Zippy Lad's son. He thinks that you have to be super to be a hero. I used to as well"

"What changed your mnd?"

Silver Sentry smiled. "You did actually. Do you remember that night we met? You used your ninja skills and helped me. You are going to prove to the world that you don't need to have powers to be a hero."

Later that night Mike's Shell Cell rang.

"Hello?"

"My son?"

Mike smiled. "Hey Sensei!"

"How are you my son?"

"I'm ok. Been busy. How are you?"

"I am well. Your brothers should be returning shortly from Miss O'Niel's. They decided to watch the news over there. I saw you my son."

"How was I?"

"My son I am so proud of you. According to April Shredder is being questioned and a full investiation has started. My son I sensed something earlier today. Are you sure you're all rigt?"

Mike sighed. "There's someone here who doesn't like me because I don't have any powers and he...well..." He explained what happened at practice.

Splinter sighed. "My son you have always fought alongside your brothers in every battle. I believe in you Michelangelo. Your brothers believe in you as well." He paused. "There was one battle that you fought and won on your own and you used to brag about it all the time."

Mike laughed. "Yeah and Raph nearly killed me a few times because of it!"

Splinter chuckled. "Indeed. That reminds me: why did you leave your trophy here my son?"

Mike thought for a moment. "I dunno."

"My son, if you ever need to speak to myself or your brothers we are always here for you. We believe in you."

Mike smiled. "Sensei you have no idea how much I needed to hear that."

"I am sure I do my son. I love you Michelangelo."

"I love you too Master Splinter."

They hung up.

Mike sighed and juped when he heard a knock on his door.

It was Ananda. "Don't listen to Lightning Turtle Titan. You have your own powers. Goodnight."

"Goodnight and call me Mike or Mikey."

TBC...

I swear it will be faster I just needed to get him introduced to the world. BTW, I have a new website and would love to be able to house some fanart. Please? (Puppy dog eyes)
