This is where we wrap-up our story.


Chapter 31: Farewells

The next day comes by and all of the turtles begin to pack up to head back to New York City. Leo looks at the others and takes a last look at the place and thinks that they might stay another week, because he likes it there. Splinter looks at Leo and asked, "What are you thinking about, Leonardo?"

Leo lost focus for a sec and turns to Splinter and said, "Sorry, sensei. I was just...thinking that..."

Splinter chuckled and asked, "You are going to miss this place, right?"

"A lot."

"So will I."

"You know, at first I d coming here, now the one thing I is actually leaving here." Raph said.

"I understand how you feel, Raphael. But we have to get home."

Zuko comes in and sees that the turtles are starting to get ready and asked, "So, you're all leaving?"

"Yes, we are. Have you packed?"

"I had to get back from my cave and pack up all my things, so I could head back with you all."

"You're gonna like living underneath New York City." Donny said.

"I wonder what it's like there."

Leo chuckled and said, "Dark and distant."

"Thanks for clearing that up."

A knock came on the door and Leo said, "Come in."

The door opens and it was Musaki coming in. Raph saw him and said, "Saki-man! Coming over to say good-bye to us, right?"

"Yeah, I guess. I'm gonna miss you all very much." Musaki said.

"So will we, kid."

"It was really cool meeting you guys."

"Same here."

"Thanks for being my friend, Raph."

"Hey, don't mention it, kid."

"Musaki-san." Splinter called.

Musaki walked towards him and told him, "I want you to have this."

He pulls out a necklace of a dragon and Musaki asked, "What's this?"

"This represents that you are invincible and you are completely special to all of us. It's been passed down by my master and to me and now, it belongs to you."

Splinter gives Musaki the necklace and chuckled softly to see this and on the back, it says 'stronger and faithful'. He puts it on and it really does feel special to him. He looks at Splinter and said, "It's awesome. Thank you."

"You are welcome."

"Whenever you plan to go to New York, look us up, unless we're out fighting villains." Mikey said.

"Count on it."

A few hours later, everyone headed out of the palace with the rest of the gang coming in each giving their goodbyes. The turtles said goodbye to everyone and Splinter looked at Shifu and said, "Keep these warriors in shape."

"Yours too, especially Raphael. I don't think he can be tamed." Shifu said.

"I will do my best."

Musaki came in with a little gift to give Splinter and it was one of his bandanas. It's a japanese purple and green bandana with 'ninja warrior' on the front of it. He said, "I used to have it while I was at the orphanage and now I want you to have this."

Splinter grabs the bandana and puts it on his head and he asked, "How do I look like?"

Musaki chuckled and said, "Like a real warrior...with style."

All the turtles laugh and Raph said, "Yeah, Master. You look like you could turn a few s on with that."

"I would not say that, Raphael."

"It's true, though." Crane said.

Zuko comes in and joins the rest of the turtles and Splinter and Shifu asked, "It was really nice meeting you."

"Likewise."

"So, you used to live in Japan, but moved to China?"

"Yes, I was. I always thought what would happen if I saw Splinter again. Now, it seems as though I got my wish. I'm heading home to where they are, so I can be more close to him."

Zuko turned to Splinter and smiled at him and said, "Welcome home, brother."

"Thank you."

Both Zuko and Splinter reach in for a hug. Splinter said, "It is gonna be great having you home with us."

"We'll keep up what we missed out on."

"I agree."

Po started crying and said, tearfully, "This is beautiful."

Ichi and Musaki groaned in embarassment and said, in unison, "Here we go again."

Splinter looked at Po and said, "I will remember you most of all."

"It's an awesome honor to meet you."

"Same here."

"Well, goodbye to you all and thank you." Leo said.

"Goodbye!"

All of them said their goodbyes as the turtles and Splinter and Zuko went down the stairs of the palace and everyone else said goodbye to them. The others dispersed and went back in the temple.

"They seem like cool people." Po said.

"I like having them around." Viper said.

"I know Tigress like Raph and I bet she would've kissed him too." Zeke said.

"I don't even want to think about it, but I would've loved to see that." Musaki said, then makes kissing noises.

Tigress scoffed and said, "Whatever."

"Whatever." Musaki mocked.

"You're a little nuisance."

"And you're like a stripey mad chick with boy issues. Admit it, you like Raphael."

"Well, he is cute."

"Where can I puke?" asked Ichi.

"Any place that doesn't go in Tigress' face."

"Oh, you two are definitely crazy."

"Hey, that's us. At least we won't end being freaky and catty like you."

Ichi snickered and said, "Good one."

Everyone walks back to the temple and Musaki looks back and looks at the sky and smiled at himself and whispered, "Goodbye, Master Splinter. I will always remember you."

With that, he walked back to the temple, with a smile on his face back to where the others are at. He said, "Hey, guys! Wait up!"
