Disclaimer: I'd like to repeat that I do not own Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If I did I might do some things differently in the show. Not necessarily what I'm doing this fan fiction, but something.
Author's Note: First of all, I'd like to thank the first five people for reviewing my story. I hope to get more reviews in the future. Next, I'd like to let everyone here now that I've fixed the errors that were pointed out to me in the prologue.
Now, without further adieu, here's the official first chapter.
Chapter 1: One Crazy Night Part 1
For years the Hamato family had lived together in peace. When the children were four and five, Yoshi and Shen started to notice that the children had talent for Ninjutsu. With Shen's permission, Yoshi decided to train the children in the art of Ninjutsu just like his father had trained him. Shen mostly agreed to their training in Ninjutsu because she feared that Oroku Saki might find them someday and she wanted her children to be able to protect themselves. While Yoshi taught them the ways of the ninja, he also taught them that they were to only use their skills when it was absolutely necessary. They used an old abandoned subway station underground as training space, so no one would see them.
And so, for eleven years Miwa, Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo trained together and grew stronger with time; in skills and in bond. At the same time, Yoshi had told them everything about Oroku Saki, the Shredder, including the fact that Raphael was his biological son. Even with the knowledge that they weren't blood related, Raphael still saw his adoptive family as his family and his siblings saw him as their brother. For Yoshi and Shen, this was a clear sign that Raphael would not become Saki; and that made them very happy.
By fifteen and sixteen, the children were powerful enough to take on men twice any of their sizes. They even each had their ninja weapons. Miwa was given the Tessen, Leonardo got twin Katanas, Raphael chose twin Sai, Donatello's weapon was a Bo staff with a hidden blade, and Michelangelo got a pair of Nunchuku (often pronounced nun chucks) that convert into a Kusarigama. They kept the promise they made to their father and only used their ninja skills when it was absolutely necessary, so nobody outside the family knew about their ninja heritage; when seen fighting, most people just assumed they took advanced martial arts classes. Ninja skills aside the children had relatively average lives with school and friends, and Donatello's case a crush. The boys even started calling themselves and each other by nicknames; Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey.
By now, Miwa was fairly tall with shoulder length black hair and green eyes. She usually wore a green short sleeved hoodie, black jeans, and sneakers. In short, She resembled a younger Tang Shen.
Leo was slightly shorter than Miwa and had begun to resemble Yoshi as a teenager with his short jet black hair; only his eyes were blue instead of brown. Leo's usual attire consisted of a Blue t-shirt, denim jeans, and sneakers.
Raph was Leo's hight and still had Saki's dark brown hair and his mother's green eyes, but he often had his hair spiked. He liked red a lot, so he usually wore a red t-shirt with black jeans and sneakers. He also occasionally wore these black fingerless gloves he was fond of.
Donnie about Miwa's hight and had short black and his same reddish brown eyes. He often wore a purple polo shirt, brown pants, and sneakers. He also had a gap in his upper front teeth from when he and his siblings were training.
Finally, Mikey was slightly shorter than his oldest brother's and had short black hair and baby blue eyes. He had a thing for orange so he often wore an orange t-shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers. He also occasionally wore a pair of goggles on his head. He once tried to bleach his hair blonde, but his parents stopped him before he could.
One day, Leo found out about a movie titled, "Mega Ranger's: The Movie" that was going to premier in theater and thought it would be cool for him and his siblings to go see. So he asked his parents if they could go. Yoshi and Shen agreed to let them go as long as they had a chaperone of some kind; meaning either one of them or a friend's parent who was responsible. Luckily, Leo had a chaperone in mind.
On the day of the premiere, the sibling's came straight home from school and began changing into their costumes; they were all going to dress as Mega Ranger's. All of the Mega Ranger costumes seemed fairly similar in design, simple body suit with a white V-stripe on the chest area, they each came in different colors and the girl costumes came with skirts. Leo dressed as the blue Ranger, Miwa was yellow, Raph was red, Mickey chose green, and Donnie got a black one with silver lining for the sixth ranger, the midnight ranger. This had Donnie wondering who else was joining them as the pink ranger.
"Hey, Mikey, can I ask you something?" Donnie asked as he was finishing his costume in his and Mikey's shared bedroom.
"Sure, D," said Mikey, zipping up his costume, "Ask away."
"Is someone else joining our party?" Donnie asked, "Cause I noticed we have every ranger but pink. And you guys seemed pretty set on me getting Midnight."
"Oh, yeah," said Mikey, "We thought it would make sense to have all six from the show, so we invited April O'Neil to be pink."
"Oh, cool," said Donnie, as he picked up his helmet. Then he realized what Mikey had just said his eyes widened in shock and he dropped his helmet as he whirled around and asked, "Wait! What?!"
"Yeah," Mikey casually said back, putting on his gloves, "It was Leo's and Miwa's idea to invite her. And Raph got the idea to have you dress as the Midnight Ranger."
At Mikey's words, Donnie's face turned red as a stop light and he yelled at the top of his lungs, "MIWA! LEO! RAPH!"
In the living room, Miwa, Leo, and Raph had just finished putting their own costumes on and were waiting for their younger brothers. Leo was watching his favorite show "Space Heroes", Raph was reading a magazine, and Miwa was chatting with her friends online. Suddenly, they heard one of their younger brothers yelling their names.
"What's up with Donnie?" said Raph, "He sounds mad."
Right on cue, Donnie came storming into the living room. His siblings could tell just by looking at him that he was indeed mad about something. Mikey followed close behind, trying his hardest to calm his immediate big brother down.
"April O'Neil is coming and you guys didn't tell me?!" Donnie angrily yelled at his brothers and sister.
The three looked at Mikey, knowing it must've been him who told Donnie about April, and Raph said to him, "Nice going, Mikey."
Mikey groaned and said, "Hey, don't blame me. You're the one who didn't make it clear that I wasn't supposed to say anything."
At that statement, Raph rolled his eyes and said, "I said we were surprising Donnie. I don't know how I could've been clearer."
Seeing that there was no point in hiding anything from Donnie, Leo took a breath and told him, "Okay, I'm sorry we didn't say anything. But I just didn't want you to get nervous and change your mind about going."
"Yeah," said Miwa, "We didn't want you to miss out. Is that so wrong?"
Donnie, still upset with his siblings, only glared at them and replied, "More like you wanted to see me act like a spaz in front April. And make fun of my feelings for her. And while we're talking, what was your reason for having me dress as the Midnight Ranger anyway? What were you hoping to gain? Trying to make me look like a hero-wannabe?"
"No," said Leo, "That's no it at all."
"Then why?" Donnie asked, crossing his arms.
"We thought she would think it's neat that you two are dressed up like a couple," said Miwa.
"What?" Donnie asked, starting to feel a little embarrassed.
Mikey laughed a little and said, "Dude, everybody knows that the Midnight Ranger and the Pink Ranger are a couple. If April sees you in this when she's wearing her pink costume, she's bound to like you."
Donnie frowned at his siblings and said, "Or she'll think I'm a creep and never speak to me again."
Leo could see how sad his brother was at the moment. So he put his hand on Donnie's shoulder and told him, "I'm sure she won't think that about you. Just come with us and you'll see."
Donnie was starting to feel a little better after Leo said that. He smiled warmly at his brother and Leo, in turn smiled back at him.
Just then, Shen came into the living room and said, "Mr. O'Neil and April are here. You five had better be ready to go."
Right after Shen said that, Donnie started freaking out. He was very nervous about being around due to the fact that he had a crush on her. He was so nervous that he was now starting to hyperventilate. Shen saw this and rushed to her son's aid. She coached him as he breathed in and out until he calmed down.
Once was calm, Donnie stood up from the couch and went to his room to get his helmet, then joined his siblings as they went downstairs to meet up with April and her father.
"Okay, Donatello, you can do this. It's no big deal. We're just going to the movies," Donnie continued to tell himself I'm an effort to keep calm.
Once they all got outside, the Hamato siblings were greeted by a red haired girl around their age coming out of a car that was being driven by a middle aged balding man, who was obviously the girl's father. The girl was Donnie's crush, April O'Neil, and the man was her father, Kirby O'Neil. At the moment, April was dressed in her Pink Mega Ranger costume.
"Hey, guys," said April, as she walked over to them, "Ready for the premiere?"
"You have to ask?" said Raph, excitedly.
"Of course we are," said Leo, equally excited.
"You bet," Mikey said, feeling the same as his brothers.
"Sure," Said Miwa, just as excited.
Donnie did not answer at first, so Miwa nudged him in the shoulder. This caused him to jump a little and just nervously reply, "Mhm."
April then noticed Donnie's costume, smiled, and said, "Wow, Donnie, you're dressed as the Midnight Ranger. With your costume and mine together, we look like a couple."
At this, Donnie blushed and chuckled nervously as he said, "Yeah, I guess we do."
The two just looked at each other for a bit, until Miwa cleared her throat and said, "We better get going if we don't wanna be late for the movie."
This brought April and Donnie back to reality and April said, "Oh! Okay, let's get going."
And with that, the teens all got into Kirby's car and took their seats; with Miwa making sure Donnie sat next to April. When the other four siblings invited April, their main goal was to try to get them get to know each other better. Unfortunately, so far neither of them were really talking to each other too much; infact, everytime April looked at Donnie, he got nervous and looked away from her.
Leo laughed a little and said to his other siblings, "Okay, this plan was better in my head."
Raph crossed his arms and gave his brother an annoyed look as he said, "Ya think?"
Mikey sighed and commented, "Worst fix up ever."
Miwa then interjected, "Now hold on. Let's wait till we get to the theater. Things could get better there."
The boys wanted to argue, but it was hard to disagree with that logic. When in a movie theater, teenagers tend to feel like getting closer to each other.
Once they arrived a block away from the theater, Kirby parked the car and he and the kids got and started heading towards the theater. As they walked together, Miwa, Leo, Raph, and Mikey talked over their plan to get Donnie and April to sit together in the theater. While everyone was walking and talking together, nobody noticed the white that was coming towards them until it screeched to a halt right in front of them just as they were about to cross the street.
"Hey! Watch it, you maniac!" Raph shouted at the van.
He might have changed if Leo had not grabbed his arm and said, "Let it go, Raph. It's not worth it."
Right after Leo said that, five men came out of the van. Four of them were identical men with black hair and black business suits; they also appeared to have blank emotionless faces. The fifth was fairly average with brown hair and dressed in a white sleeveless shirt and denim jeans. Kirby and the kids felt nervous as the identical men began advancing on them.
"Nice going, Raph," Mikey whispered to said brother.
Raph in turn whispered back to Mikey, "Me? What did I do?"
"They probably got mad when you yelled at them," Mikey whispered back.
Raph got ticked off at what Mikey had said and got ready to say something back when Miwa stopped him.
"Calm down, guys, I'll handle it," she said, and then she turned her attention to the men in black and said, "I'm very sorry about my brother. He has a bit of a temper. I honestly don't know where he gets it from, but you really shouldn't take anything he does or says too seriously-"
Before Miwa could say anymore, one of the men pushed her to the ground and continued making his way towards the rest of the group. This caused everyone else to panic.
"Uh, guys, I don't think they're interested in talking," said Mikey, who was starting to feel a little scared.
Kirby got in front of the kids and asked the men, "Who are you? And what do you want?"
The man in black who seemed to be the leader replied in a robotic tone of voice, "The ones known as Kirby and April O'Neil will come with Kraang to the place Kraang is taking them."
Hearing that statement, Miwa got up from where she was lying and charged one of the men as she yelled, "Think again!"
Miwa ran straight towards the man and punched him hard in the face. Unfortunately, she wound up hurting her own hand and the man appeared to be unharmed. As Miwa waved her hand in pain, one of the men grabbed her and threw her right into Raph, causing him to fall to the ground with his sister.
Kirby started to fear even more for his daughter's safety and ordered her and the other kids to run away. April wanted to protest, but Mikey grabbed her and started running with his brothers and sister. Unfortunately, three of the men got in their way while the third knocked Kirby unconscious and threw him in the back of the van with the fifth man helping him.
Seeing no way around the problem, the Hamato siblings prepared to fight, while April hid behind a trash can. The five got into fighting stances as the men came at them. At first they thought it would be like all of their past fights, but they were quickly proven wrong. These men were nothing like the usual Purple Dragons, muggers, or school bullies they had fought in the past. They were faster, stronger, and tougher than any regular person they had ever fought before. Miwa and Raph managed to take one down together, but that was mostly just an accident; Miwa was fighting the man hand to hand when Raph crashed into the both of them.
And if things were not bad enough, during the fight one of the men managed to grab April and began carrying her towards the van. Donnie saw what happened and tried to save her but the fifth man tackled him to the ground and held him down.
The fifth man looked to the identical man and asked, "Want me to finish this brat off for you or do you wanna do it?"
"Get off me!" Donnie demanded, "And let April and her dad go!"
The man that threw Kirby into the van responded by walking over to Donnie, ignoring April's demands to leave Donnie alone, and the fifth man and kneeling down. The man looked at Donnie for a moment, as though he was studying him. Then he said, "Negative. Do not destroy. Human identity confirmed: Donatello Kurama. Capture the one known as Donatello Kurama along with the ones known as Kirby and April O'Neil."
On his leader's order, the man holding Donnie started dragging Donnie towards the van. Donnie struggled against his grip the whole time.
"No! Let go of me!" Donnie demanded. He then turned in his sibling's direction and screamed as loud as he could, "Help!"
Miwa heard her brother scream and tried to go to help him. Before she could, however, the man she and her other brothers were fighting threw Mikey at Leo, dodged Raph's charge, and then ran towards Miwa and knocked her down before catching up with the others.
Miwa looked up and caught a glimpse of April and Donnie bound and gagged with tape in the back of the van before the doors closed and the van drove away.
Miwa quickly got and running after the van as she yelled to her three remaining brothers, "They're getting away! They've got Donnie!"
Upon hearing what their sister said, Leo and Raph got up and followed close behind her. Mikey was still feeling a little dizzy from being thrown, but he still managed to get back up and attempted to follow his brothers and sister. He managed to walk a few steps before he noticed one last business man standing in front of him.
"Where'd your friends take my brother?" Mikey asked the man, but he did not answer. Mikey gave him a stern look and added, "Not talking, huh? Well, I've got ways of making you talk."
Right on cue, Mikey charged at the man and prepared to punch him. However, the man caught Mikey's fist in his hand and threw Mikey to the ground. Mikey looked up at the man and who was standing in the same place as before; unfazed by what happened. Seeing that he was at a disadvantage against this man, Mikey screamed in fear, got up, and started running for his life.
As Mikey ran through the streets, the man was in hot pursuit. Mikey ran into an alley, hoping to escape the man, but the man found him and began advancing on him. Mikey felt very scared and was sure he was going to die in the alley.
Suddenly, just as the man was inches away from Mikey, a familiar voice shouted, "Get away from my little brother!" and a trash can fly right at the man and hit him in the head, causing him to fall to the ground.
Mikey looked up and saw Miwa, Leo, and Raph standing in the alley; Mikey guessed Raph must have been the one who threw the trash can.
Miwa ran to check on Mikey, while Leo yelled at Raph, "Raph, look what you've done! I think you killed him!"
"I had no choice, Leo! You saw him. He would've killed Mikey!" Raph yelled back, "What would you have done?"
Leo tried to answer, but found he had none. In truth Leo was unsure what he would have done.
"I'm fine, Sis," said Mikey, "But what about Donnie? Or April and her dad? What happened to them?"
Miwa shook her head and said, "They got away before we could catch up with them. I'm so sorry, Mikey."
At the news Mikey fell to his knees and broke down crying. "No. Donnie," he said between sobs.
Miwa knelt down and hugged her brother as he cried. Leo went over to his sister and youngest brother and joined in the hug. Raph started walking towards his siblings to join them when he noticed that the man's hand was moving. As he stared at the man, Raph noticed his whole body twitching, which could only mean one thing- this man is still alive.
"Hey, guys!" Raph called, "This guy's alive!"
Mikey sniffled a little and asked, "So?"
Leo's head perked up as he realized what this news meant. "He works for the guys who took Donnie and the O'Neil's," he said, "Meaning he can tell us where they are."
"And we can go there and save them!" Miwa realized, "That's perfect! Let's get him to talk."
The four teens went over to the man on the ground and flipped him over, hoping to get answers from him. When they flipped him over, the siblings were shocked to see that some his face was broken off. However, the most shocking thing was not that he was missing some of his face, which in itself was shocking enough, but that instead of blood or muscle was blue metal and a glowing red eye. There also sparks flying out.
"What the-?" Leo asked.
"He's a robot?" Raph asked.
"Maybe they were all robots," Mikey suggested.
"That certainly would explain a lot," Leo said.
"You mean like that weird way they talked?" Raph asked.
"Or like when I punched a guy with my bare hands it hurt like heck?" said Miwa, rubbing her hand for emphasis.
Suddenly, the robot's stomach area started moving until the suit ripped open. The four teens looked at the now open stomach area and, their shock, there in the robot's stomach was what appeared to be a brain with a face!
"What. The heck. Is that?" Raph asked, speaking in syllables.
"Looks like a brain," said Mikey, while Miwa got her phone out and took pictures of the brain and robot body.
Leo sent his sister a confused look, and she in turn explained, "We might need some evidence or mom and dad might think we're crazy."
Leo nodded in understanding while Mikey poked at the brain. He continued to poke at the brain until its eyes shot open and it growled at him. The kids screamed as the brain jumped out and latched itself onto Mikey's face. Thinking quickly, Leo grabbed the brain and pulled hard until it finally let go. It tried to grab onto Leo's face next, but Raph punched it and it flew right into the wall of a nearby building.
As the brain got back up and crawled away using its tentacles, the kids could only stare in shock at what just happened.
"Okay, did that really happen just now?" Mikey asked. His siblings nodded in response. "So it's not just me, then?"
"That's correct," said Leo.
"Okay," said Mikey, "So I guess that means I'm not crazy."
"No, you're not, little brother," said Miwa, "But one thing's certain. There's definitely something strange going on here."
Author's Note: In case anyone's curious, I meant for the Mega Rangers to be based on the Power Rangers. I wanted to give the kids a reason for beings outside at the exact same time as Kirby and April, so I figured that the best idea would be for them to be going to the premiere of a new movie together. And I'm sure you're all wondering why I had the Kraang take Donnie along with the O'Neil's. I figured since Donnie's a super genius, something he made in a science fair or something might get featured in a magazine or on a website that might catch the Kraang's attention and get the idea that he could be useful to them.
Also, I gave Miwa the Tessen because I figured since Yoshi originally meant it for her it would make sense.
Well, I hope you guys liked it. Please leave a review.
