Thank you guys for waiting. Sowwie I took so long. Tons of homework and school stuff. This is a flashback chapter as I said in the one before. I would love it if you reviewed and read on!

Disclaimer: I do not own tmnt.

Hamato Yoshi exited the pet shop, holding a fish bowl filled with three baby turtles. The sun was setting and the streets of New York City were fairly empty, well, what counts as almost empty in a city that never sleeps.

As he walked, Yoshi gazed down at the babies and smiled. An emotionless looking man in a suit walked by, knocking Yoshi's shoulder. Making him almost drop the bowl. He stopped, turned around and watched as the man walked down a nearby alley.

Pausing for a moment, he silently slipped down the same alley as the man and hid behind a dumpster. He saw the man exchange a glowing container to his twin. Another identical man came into view. Hamato Yoshi decided to intervene.

He moved his foot slightly, and unfortunately, stepped on a rat's pink and fleshy tail. The three men turned, spotting the ninja master. The four men engaged in combat.

(A/N: I suck at describing fight scenes. So, blah blah blah.)

Yoshi screamed. The ooze dripped down his body, onto the ground and onto the turtles, lying among the shattered remains of their bowl. The triplets had escaped and Yoshi dropped to the ground. He felt prickly and strange. He saw a quick glance of a small turtle-boy hiding behind a bin before he passed out.

Leonardo's side of things:

Leonardo hid behind the bin as the four men fought.

He waited until the triplets vanished and the man fainted before coming out. Speaking the only language he knew, Leonardo struggled to calm them down. Eventually, by singing a gentle Japanese lullaby, the three younger turtle-boys fell into a deep sleep. He quickly walked over to the giant rat that lay unconscious, face down. Leonardo rolled him over and looked down at him.

The rat-man began to wake. Leonardo wanted to run. His mother and sister always told him to stay in the shadows. Away from those who may be threats. But he stood still as the man opened his eyes.

Hamato Yoshi's side of things:

As he opened his eyes, Yoshi noticed that a young, GREEN, boy stood over him. He sat up and the boy backed away, fear was visible in his eyes though he tried to shield it. "What happened," He asked. The boy didn't seem to understand. Looking past the boy, he saw three mutant babies asleep under a multi-coloured blanket.

Yoshi was confused. Where did the fourth turtle come from? Why dud he feel so strange? Who were those men? What was that ooze? So many questions. He stood, almost falling over, he looked at his reflection in a puddle. His mouth open in a silent scream, his face one of horror. This was what he had become? A giant, mutant rat? What was he going to do?

His thoughts were interrupted by soft sobbing. Turning around, he saw the biggest turtle trying to comfort the three youngest, who were sobbing quietly. The oldest looked at Hamato Yoshi like he expected help. Yoshi didn't know what to do. He sat down next to the turtles and placed all four in his lap. Wrapping the multi-coloured blanket around the toddlers/babies and began to hum a lullaby he had heard American mothers sing to their children. The three youngest fell asleep instantly, but the oldest seemed uneasy around him.

Yoshi carried the turtles back to his apartment. silently, he grabbed food, bedding and other supplies. Slipping down into the sewers, he lay his 'sons' down onto a pile of soft blankets. Each son lay under a different square. One under red, another under orange, another under the purple square and the oldest turtle sat on top of the blue square.

Hamato Yoshi leaned against the sewer wall, reading a book about the renaissance. The oldest turtle waddled over to the mutant rat and plopped down next to him. Yoshi looked amused at the sight of his new son trying to read the book. Too bad he didn't know English. Yoshi picked him up and placed him on his knee. "Let's see shall we?" Yoshi flipped through the pages of the old leather book. "Donatello, Raphael, no...no...let's see." The young turtle-boy watched him, confused. Yoshi smiled. He looked at his oldest son. "Leonardo."
