Chapter 2

The "Midnight Mutant" Friend or Foe

I drove far away from my home, and brothers. You know what? Driving a sports car threw Tokyo is a shell of a lot different than driving the Battleshell threw New York. Anyway, I wasn't the only one to move. Vonica, our wolf friend and kinda little sister, came after me.

I drove to her apartment. She lived with a friend of hers "Blizzard". The name they lived under was simply Wolf.

After I had pressed their room button someone came on. "Hello?" came the voice. "Hey... Vonica?" I said giving her name a shot. "Yeah," came Vonnie's response, "Who are you?"

I gave her that for sure. My voice had changed drastically since the last time we talked. It wasn't as deep as Raph's but it was pretty close. "It's Mikey," I replied, "I'm here with Toby. The guys are lookin for me."

"Who is it?" I heard a male voice ask. "It's Mikey! He's got Toby!" I heard Vonica shout, "Go see if they need help!" I heard, what must have been, Blizzard get up and head out the door. "Mikey?" Vonnie asked, "Stay there! Blizz is comin down!"

Blizzard had come down to help us. We didn't bring anything with us but Toby was worn out from the trip to Japan and our little road trip. I was tired because my brothers had woken me up so 'early'. Blizz wound up carrying Toby up the stairs.

"Hey Mikey," Vonica greeted me. "Hey, Von," I said. "Vonica!" Toby shouted.

"Well, hey there," Vonnie smiled, "Heard you and the Turtle Titan over there got into a little race with your cousins."

"So, Mike," Blizz said from beside me, "To what do we owe your visit?" "My brothers," I replied gruffly, "They finally realized I left." "Took em long enough, huh?" Blizzard joked, "Don't you start patrolling in an hour and a half?"

"Yeah," I joked, "Still ain't lookin for Vonica." I turned to the clock. I guess we'd been driving awhile. "Yeah," I replied a tired look about me, "Can I sleep in your room? For like an hour?"

"Sure," Vonnie replied, "Bedroom's at the end of the hall." I was about to thank her when I was interrupted. "Where you goin, Mikey?" Toby asked me, "Tonight I mean." "The Turtle Titan's a respected symbol of authority here in Tokyo," I explained to her, "You can't come sweety."

After some sleep and preparation, I was off on patrol. I was extra careful that night. With my brothers looking for me it wasn't safe to be out. But Turtle Titan had a rep to keep.

As I lurked in the shadows, I waited for some action. It was a fairly quiet night. If I was in New York I wouldn't be so fortunate. The city had fallen victim to far too many gang wars. The thought of returning there sickened me to the core.

I shuttered at the thought of what the city may have looked like. Gangs running ramped in the streets. Parents to afraid to let their children play outdoors during the day. Police everywhere having little or no effect on the violence. Young kids, Toby's age, not only carrying guns but knowing how to use them.

My thoughts were cut short by the shrill scream of a woman. I quickly left to investigate being sure to check for my brothers.

When I arrived, there was a group of local punks demanding an old woman hand over her purse. There wasn't any gangs in Tokyo but these guys were pretty close.

"E-hem!" I said clearing my throat, "Whatever did this lady do to you? From where I stand she was just walking by." The largest guy turned and looked at me. I could tell by the look on his face I wasn't wanted.

"I hate to repeat myself but, why are you all attacking this...?" I began asking. Suddenly, a green foot, with darker skin than mine, shot out of the shadows kicking down three of the punks. I stepped back thinking it was Raph.

Boy was I surprised when the turtle came into the light. It was definitely not Raph. She was beautiful. A female turtle in a purple cape and cowl with a black medallion. Her skin was slightly lighter than Raph's.

She turned to the woman, me and finally the three punks she'd knocked out. As she knelt beside the thugs I approached her. "Hey, thanks for the help," I said, "Maybe sometime we could..."

She turned to me, her green eyes were enchanting. I was unaware of her rising hand, and the firearm in it, until it was almost too late. Out of the corner of my eye a saw a Triceraton blaster.

"Oh shell," I breathed quietly. She raised the gun to my head, fired it and ran off. I barely evaded the shot, the weapon had left a burn on my shoulder. I quickly ran after the girl, though all my years of ninja training told me to do different.

She was fairly fast for her size. I did, however, manage to keep up with her as she darted from roof to roof. I kept to the shadows, my sight on the girl, the rest of my senses on guard for my brothers.

She ran to an apartment building, not my old one or Vonnie and Blizz's. She quickly moved to the door on the outside of the penthouse. I moved in to get a better look.

The female turtle in the purple cape knocked on it. Fortunately, I was close enough to hear. "Hello," greeted a voice from inside, "Password please." "Rachael!" shouted the one in the cape, "It is I. The Midnight Mutant."

Midnight Mutant huh? I thought, And who's Rachael? I soon got my answers. Two more green faces, the same shade as "Midnight Mutant"'s, popped out the nearby window.

As I looked at them, I saw they both were female as well. One had brown eyes, like my own, the other had blue ones, much like Toby's. Blue eyes seemed to be older and brown looked to be M.M.'s twin.

"You know Penny," said blue eyes, "I don't approve of what you're doing." M.M. turned to blue eyes and growled. "Mika," brown stated looking around, "Mother isn't well enough to work. Penny's just doing this to provide for us. And..."

She had paused when our eyes met. I was nervous, she seemed calm. I tried to back around the corner but she gave me a glare. The other two turned to see what, I guessed to be, Rachael was looking at.

I froze in place, not knowing what, if anything, I could do. I turned the corner swiftly, not knowing if they'd spotted me. I knew I should have ran but I didn't, I just closed my eyes and hoped that only one saw me.

When I, finally, opened my eyes I saw all three of them. The blue-eyed one looked shocked, the brown eyed one curious and double "M" just glared at me. "Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!" I thought to myself, "I should of ran!"

"Uh... hi?" I greeted them, my gruff tone giving away my gender. "What's your name?!" the blue-eyed one demanded. "In this guise I prefer the Turtle Titan," I explained, "But my real name is Michelangelo."

They stared at me another moment awkwardly silent. Finally, M.M. asked, "So, are you really...?" "Male?" I continued. They all nodded. "Yes," I replied, "And I'm kinda on the run from my brothers. So, if you see any other males don't tell them you saw me."

"I'm Mika," blue eyes said. "Rachael," brown said giving me a little wave. "Penny," M.M. followed. The three of them forced me inside the penthouse. Raph would of made a joke about me being overpowered by three girls.

"Look guys! The big tough Turtle Titan's been overpowered by a bunch o girls!" Raph would say. Then Leo and Donnie would laugh at Raph's joke not caring how much it hurt me. I'd get mad, threaten them all to within inches of their lives, they wouldn't take me seriously and I'd leave.

Once inside Penny removed her Midnight Mutant gear and I followed in suit with my Turtle Titan outfit. Rachael had found her way to the couch and Mika wasn't far behind sending looks for me and Penny to follow her. We obeyed and found our seats, Penny beside Rachael and me on the right arm by Mika.
