Disclaimer: I do not own the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Titanic, which this story is sort of a parody of.
It was a normal, sunny day in New York City, where our terrapin heroes, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, lived in the sewers of the big, bustling town. In their hidden lair, nothing new was really happening. Leonardo and Raphael were practicing their ninjitsu skills in battle while Splinter coached them; Michelangelo was watching TV and reading comic books at the same time with his pet cat, Klunk, and Donatello was inventing a who-knows-what. It just seemed like a relaxing day for the turtles, if you can call practicing ninjitsu Leonardo's idea of relaxing.
After a while, the two turtles eventually got tired and were done practicing for the day.
"Man, I'm beat." Leo said, sheathing his katana.
Raph swept the sweat off of his brow. "Another day, another workout."
Splinter walked over to his sons with a grin on his face. "You both did very well today, my sons." He then turned to the couch, where Michelangelo was sitting. "You could learn something from your brothers, Michelangelo."
Mikey tried to turn up the volume on the TV as loud as he could. "Sorry, sensei, I can't quite hear you!" he yelled.
Everyone in the layer went to sit next to Michelangelo because while flipping through channels, he landed on the news.
"…Today the S.S. Nenet leaves the docks of Manhattan for its maiden voyage out to see, carrying with it thousands of passengers ready to have a wonderful vacation on this new luxurious cruise ship." The reporter said.
"Man, it would be so great to go on a vacation like that." Mikey whined.
"You know very well why we can't do that, Michelangelo." Splinter scolded at him.
"I know, I know."
It wasn't easy being a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. They always had to stick to the shadows when they went topside because it was the way of the ninja and if someone saw them, hell would break loose. People would judge them from the outside and consider them freaks. Only a few people saw them for who they were on the inside. Those people were true friends to them.
"… We'd also like to add," the reporter continued, "that the winner of our contest for the grand prize of a first class cruise on the S.S. Nenet with an unlimited number of friends is Manhattan resident, April O'Neil."
The turtles gasped as they heard their best friend's name called on TV for winning a contest and going on a first-class cruise. Just as they were about to leave to congratulate their friend, she, and their other friend, Casey Jones, had already entered the layer.
"I guess you heard the news," said April. " I received the tickets a few days ago. I really wanted you guys to come with us, but…well, you know."
Everyone nodded; except for Donatello, who was actually wearing a huge smile.
"That all just might change," he said. " Thanks to my latest invention."
He then held out five palm-sized octagon-shaped mechanical devices that were in five different colours: red, orange, yellow, blue, and purple. Donatello then inserted the purple octagon onto the left side of his chest. "Here's how it works." He said. " All you have to is press this button and-"
Suddenly, as he pressed the purple button on his device, a ring of white light appeared around his waist and began to split in two and spread over his body. When it was done, the turtles gasped to see not their brainy brother, but a human teenager with wavy, fiery-red hair and bright hazel eyes under his glasses. He wore a white shirt under a purple wool vest, brown slim-fitting khakis, and purple sneakers.
"Holy shell!" Raph gasped. "Don, is that you?"
"Yep." The turtle-turned-human answered. "These devices change our appearance completely so we look like regular humans. I call it the Mutant Cloaking Mechanism, or MCM for short." He handed out the rest of the MCMs to the rest of his family. "Do you guys want to give it a shot?"
His family decided to give them a try. Taking the MCM that matched their colour, they went through the same transformation as Donatello.
Leonardo became a shaggy-haired brunette with deep green eyes and wore a dog-tag necklace around his neck. He also wore a blue short-sleeved sweatshirt, black loose-fitting khakis, and blue sneakers.
Michelangelo turned into a teen with bright-blond hair in a ponytail and crystal-blue eyes. He wore an orange shirt, jeans with a chain attached, and orange sneakers.
Raphael transformed into a teen with spiky raven-black hair and chocolate-brown eyes. He wore a red shirt over a black jean-jacket, fingerless gloves, spiked earrings on both ears, ripped up army-coloured pants, and red sneakers.
Splinter's height grew a level amount of inches, and had a bald head with long white hair growing at the back all the way down to his shoulders. He also had a long white beard, and wore cargo pants, sandals, and a Hawaiian shirt. He felt a little embarrassed about the shirt.
Both April and Casey were shocked about the new look of their mutated friends, but they also couldn't be happier.
Casey walked over to the great inventor. "Don, this has gotta be the greatest doohickey you've ever made!" he cried, punching him in the arm as a sigh of congrats.
April could have cried with joy at the sight of Donatello rubbing his arm with his new look; that is, if April's watch didn't start beeping, signalling that she and Casey had to get to the docks. She grabbed him by the hand and they headed for the exit.
"Bye guys!" April shouted to them. "We'll see you at the docks. You'd better pack fast if you're coming with us!"
They knew if April had to leave so quickly, it meant the cruise ship would probably leave any minute. With that, they left for their rooms to pack their bags for their vacation.
After a while, they finally managed to pack up their bags and made it to the docks. The problem was, it began to leave without them. Now they were running from rooftop-to-rooftop to try and catch up. April and Casey were waving to them, hoping they would make it on time.
Splinter then signalled his sons to stop. He took out of his luggage a rope, a bow, and an arrow. He tied the rope to the arrow and readied it with the bow. He shot it into a clear spot on the wall and he and his sons grabbed their things and gripped the rope. With a push off of their feet, they swung in the air like Tarzan and were heading straight for April and Casey. Michelangelo was about to shout "Cowabunga", but before he could finish, they all slammed face-first into the wall. Their friends managed to help them back up, and they looked out to the sea. Their vacation was about to begin.
Hi, it's me, MedaLink. Sorry about deleting this story, but I made a couple of mistakes and had to rewrite it a little. I made a few changes to the first chapter, but I hope you like them. All you have to do is review!
