Mikey, Casey and April planned to infiltrate the Foot Headquarters to stop the Shredder from doing what he had planned, but it wasn't going too well. "LEAVE HIM ALONE, DUDE!" Casey yelled and struggled against Fishface's tight grip. April also tried to struggle against Rahzar's tight grip, but to no avail. As the Shredder raised his gauntlet up high, Mikey closed his eyes. "I guess this is goodbye, dudes. I will miss you." Mikey thought. A tear fell from the corner of his eye.

Just then, 3 people suddenly burst in and kicked the Shredder aside. Mikey opened his eyes and when he saw the people who saved him, he was shocked. Those 3 people were the same people who saved him before. The person in a blue hooded jacket with a dark-coloured cap was the same person who saved him from the hordes of Foot Ninjas. The person with the purple jacket was the one who saved him from Fishface and helped to break his fever. The person with the red jacket was the one who saved him from drowning. Mikey frowned. Were those 2 other dudes the brothers that he told Mikey about?

"Dudes? What are you doing here? It's not safe for a human to be here, dudes. Get away from here!" "Not a chance." The person with the red jacket replied. The one with the purple jacket freed April and the one with the blue jacket freed Casey. The one with the purple jacket dragged him into a safe place.

? and Mikey's Side
"Michelangelo, I supposed my brother has already told you about our little brother? How he disappeared and all?" Mikey was puzzled by the strange question, but he nodded his head nevertheless.

"Well, we were all separated by an explosion." "Oh, ooook..." Mikey looked a tad confused. "We found our way back to New York City and we all tried to find him." "Did you find him?" Mikey asked curiously. "Yeah, we did, but we had to prepare for a secret ambush against an enemy. That enemy assumed that we were dead, so we couldn't alarm him. We did not let anyone find out that we were alive, so we kept silent and waited in the shadows." "Oh...I am guessing that the enemy is the Shredder or something?" "Yeah, kind of..." The stranger smiled.

"Because of that, unfortunately, our little brother did not know that we were alive. However, we knew that he hated being alone. We have been taking turns to keep an eye on him, so that when he was in trouble, we would take care of him secretly and protect him from our enemies." Mikey's face lit up at the sentence, as the little brother who was mentioned reminded him of himself. However, he was not completely sure, so he waited for his next sentence with a thoughtful frown.

"He was brought home every time he was injured, sick or even, falling into ice-cold water." He chuckled when he saw Mikey widened his eyes. "We knew about his wish to see us again, but we couldn't reveal that we were still alive, and now..." He smiled as he saw Mikey starring at him with widened eyes. "He is finally getting his wish. We finally have our little brother back." The stranger held Mikey's hands after taking off his gloves. When Mikey saw the familiar olive-green fingers with bandages, he was shocked. "We miss you, Mikey." "I...I miss you guys too, Donnie..." They immediately hugged one another. Mikey's tears finally flowed and he tightened his grip on Donnie. Donnie rubbed Mikey's shell affectionately. "Welcome back, bro..." "It's good to be back, Mikey." His hand brushed against Mikey's face, wiping his tears away.

Raph, Leo, Casey and April's Side
"Who are you, dudes?" Casey couldn't help but ask. "It's good to see you too, Jones." Raph smirked. When Casey heard the familiar voice coming out from the stranger wearing a red jacket, he was so shocked that his jaws were wide-open. "Something's gonna fly in there if you keep it open." Casey snapped his jaws shut. "But...But how?" "Not right now, Casey. We've got numbskulls here to take down." Casey smiled as he yelled, "GOONGALA!" He kicked Fishface off to the side.

Raph rushed towards Rahzar. "This is for tossing Mikey into the ocean!" "Wha..." Raph interrupted his yell of surprise as he dragged Rahzar and kicked him into a wall, with his face smashed onto the wall. Leo whispered to him as their shells leaned against one another. "So, you do care." "Maybe. Just, don't tell Mikey. He will never live it down." "Of course." Leo smiled as he aimed a hit on the Shredder. The Shredder dodged the attack and move to the side.

Normal Side
"You cannot hope to defeat me." The Shredder taunted. "We shall see, Shredder!" A bo staff and nunchucks hit him from behind. "Hey, it's about time that you two show up!" Casey remarked. "So, I see that the turtles are back from the dead. This changes nothing!" The Shredder raised his gauntlets to slash them. "I will still destroy and crush every single one of you!" "I couldn't agree more, this is why you will not hurt us like that, ever again!" "What are you going to do, turtle? Destroy me with your sword? You do know that slaying a man would be quite an unhonourable thing to do." The Shredder taunted them.

"This may be true. However..." Raph stifled a growl. "That doesn't mean that I can't do THIS!" Leo slashed the Shredder on the knee and leg, causing him to fall onto the ground in pain. "Donnie, are the bombs ready?" Donnie nodded and he pressed the button on the remote control. "Hurry, we only have 15 seconds left!" Everyone immediately rushed out. They rushed onto a rooftop. "...3...2...1" The bombs exploded in the Foot Headquarters. "Now, the device would be destroyed...for good, I hope." Donnie said. They ran back into the sewers as soon as they saw police sirens appearing at the Headquarters.

Back In The Lair
Just as they arrived in the lair, Master Splinter was glad to see that Mikey and their human friends were safe. He was not really surprised when he saw his 3 other sons, since he saw Raph bringing Mikey home, which indicated that his other sons were possibly safe and sound, but he was very pleased to see them. "Welcome home, my sons." "Sensei!" The 3 turtles hugged Master Splinter. April and Casey smiled as they saw the scene. Mikey was trying to hold back tears. His brothers were finally back. He wished that he would be able to see them again, and he finally did. April and Casey bid their farewells a few seconds later and left. This was a family matter, and perhaps they should have this matter in peace.

"Actually, I already knew that all of you were alive." "How?" Leo asked. "I was not very certain at first, but when I saw that all 3 of you brought Michelangelo home in several occasions, it confirmed my suspicions." (A/N: Surprise, surprise! So he already knew, after all! ) The turtles' cheeks blushed red in embarrassment. They were so careless that they allowed Master Splinter to see them, but perhaps, it's for the best. Mikey's eyes were filled to the brim with tears. He was just happy that his brothers were back.

When Raph went into his room, he found himself in a tight embrace. "Thanks, Raph, for everything." Mikey whispered. "I've missed you." Raph closed his eyes and tightened his grip on Mikey. "I've missed you too, Mikey. I've missed you too." They did not let go for several minutes. Mikey bounced into Leo's room and pounced on him, making an embrace just as tight as Raph's. "Thanks, Leo." "Anything for you, little brother. I am just sorry that...we did not tell you the whole truth." "Aw, it's ok, bro. As long as you guys are back." Tears flowed from Mikey's eyes. Leo brushed Mikey's tears off his cheeks. "Love ya, bro." Leo smiled and whispered back. "Love you too, Mikey." His grip tightened on Mikey.

After Several Minutes
Mikey returned to his own room and looked at the family photo. He smiled. His family was finally back together. Just then, Donnie came in. Mikey put down the picture frame. "Is there something wrong, Mikey?" "No, no there isn't, Donnie. Why are you here, D?" "Well...Can I sleep with you tonight, Mikey?" "Don, are you really that afraid of a nightmare?" "Um, no..." Mikey chuckled a bit to see Donnie's cheeks flushing red.

"I just...for old time sake..." "Well, alright then." Mikey shrugged and they both slept on Mikey's bed. Donnie gave Mikey a firm hug, when he felt Mikey shuddering. "We are right here, Mikey. We will never leave you alone, I promise." When Mikey slept more soundly, Donnie squeezed Mikey's hand gently. They are finally back together as a family.

Leo and Raph came in soon after that and when they saw the sight, they smiled. They each took separate positions and slept in their respective places. "Good night Raph." "Good night, bro." As they all went to sleep, Master Splinter peeked into the room and smiled before closing the door.

They were all together again, and that's what mattered.
