Chapter 5
Traces Unknown

"Have you ever felt the pain of living alone in the dark streets of the city?"

"Hey guys, I brought pizza, like you said."April said, going in with two pizza boxes.

"Thanks, April!"Donatello exclaimed, grabbing the pizza boxes and heading towards the kitchen.

"Brought the soup for sensei?"Leonardo asked.

"Sure did."April said, bringing out the can of chicken soup.

"Great, I'll just bring it to sensei."Leonardo siad, bringing the can of chicken soup to Master Splinter. April looked around and found no Michelangelo.

"Um Raph, where's Mikey?"April asked.

"Who?"Raphael asked.

"Mikey."April said.

"Who Mikey? You mean Mickey Mouse or the little piece of s***?"

"Raph, don't call Mikey a piece of s***!"

"Who Mikey?"

"Raph, stop playing games."

"You mean the little brother?"

"Yes! Where is he?"

"No idea. But I hope he goes away. That piece of s*** needs a lesson."

"Raph, what's wrong with you?! I haven't seen you like this! Stop with it! Mikey's not a piece of s***! You're his brother!"

"Whoa, what's with the arguement?"Donatello asked, returning from the kitchen with Leonardo.

"Do you know where Mikey is?"April asked.

"Don't know."Donatello said.

"But that'll teach the piece of s*** to grow up."Leonardo said.

This made April furious.

"Where's Splinter?!"April demanded.

"In his room, sick."Leonardo responded.

April ran to Michelangelo's room. April knocked on his door. "Mikey?"

No response.

"Mikey?"

No response.

April kicked down the door and looked around.

No Michelangelo.

"Mikey?"April asked. Soon, she found a note on his bed. April slowly opened the letter and read:

Dear guys,

I'm running away now. I just hope you're happy with it.

Mikey.

April gasped. Oh no...Mikey...?


Michelangelo jumped from the rooftops and looked down at the road. Big boys held hands with small boys as they crossed the street, twin brothers were eating ice cream by the sidewalk and four brothers were walking together to school.

This made Mikey into tears. But then, he forced himself to stop the tears.

Nakanaide, Mikey. It's a new life. Brothers no more. Just a lonely orphan wandering around the dark streets of New York. A boy who knew nothing about where he came from. That's all. Michelangelo thought, sitting on the rooftop.

Then, he looked at the sky still sunset.


When night came, Michelangelo tossed and turned, mumbling, "No...please...no..."


Michelangelo found himself in a cage. It had steel bars so he can't break out.

The cat walked past the cage.

"It's you!"Michelangelo exclaimed. The cat just ran to his 'older brothers' using her two feet.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! Trying to scare our little sister like that!"Raphael exclaimed, releasing Michelangelo from his cage. But the orange clad turtle got attacked by a stun gun.

Everything turned into a Japanese Kitchen. The whole thing, decorated in wood. Across it was a knife.

Michelangelo walked towards the table and held the knife.

"Why attacking all of a sudden? You are going to stay awake for us when we drive nails into your fingers. I know! Let's move you to the weapons' room. It's a room filled with torture devices. You might like it."Raphael asked.

"Unfortunately, I'll have to make my exit. You damned sadist."Michelangelo said, walking to the cabinet. He raised the knife while Raphael held the stun gun. Then, Michelangelo stabbed himself at the side of the neck, blood coming out.

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Five...

Six...

Seven...

Then, Raphael laughed like a maniac, covering Michelangelo's body with newspapers.


Michelangelo woke up, panting. He looked at the night sky and at his body.

No blood.

"Thank god."he muttered, jumping down from the rooftop.

Michelangelo ventured from dark alleys to the sidewalks of New York.

Then, he heard a fight.

When Michelangelo looked, he saw his brothers fighting the Kraang.

This brought Michelangelo to tears. Quickly, he ran to a bridge.

He heard a cry.

"Where's it coming from?"Michelangelo asked himself. When he went under a bridge, he found a girl, frightened of a man in black.

"Help!"

"I'm coming!"Michelangelo exclaimed, protecting the girl. The man sliced Michelangelo cheek but Michelangelo brought out his kusarigama and exclaimed, "Booyakasha!" while slicing the man in black. But the man vanished with a black puff of air.

"You saved my life. What's your name?"The girl asked.

"I'm Michelangelo but everyone calls me Mikey. I ran away from home and now I'm really hungry."Michelangelo said.

"You should come with me. I got cookies, apples, pizza and a lot more food."the girl said. Then, they agreed to camp under the bridge.


"So, your name's Mika, right?"Michelangelo asked, pointing at the locket.

"Yeah."Mika said.

"Wait a minute, aren't you afraid of me?"Michelangelo asked.

"Nah. I've seen brain aliens already. That's a lot weirder than a giant, mutant turtle in this town."Mika said. "Oh...do you have a home?"Michelangelo asked. Mika shook her head. "I ran away just like you because of my three older sisters. Mom only comes home twice a month. My sister are really bossy, thinking that I should grow up."Mika siad. "Dudette, we have the same thing! I set up a prank one night and my brothers were pretty pissed off. They thought I was useless and I was just a piece of mother f***ing s***."Michelangelo said.

"Oh man, we share the same things! Three older siblings, pissed on awesome peeps like us!"Mika exclaimed, giving Michelangelo a high-three.

A dog soon came back to Mika.

"Mika, who's that?"Michelangelo asked, taking the last bite of pizza.

"This is Robyn Starfire. She's my dog."Mika said.

Robyn licked Michelangelo's cheek while the turtle laughed.

"She likes you. Nice."Mika said.

Michelangelo smiled. For the first time, he finally met a friend who is exactly like him and can understand him. For the first time, he never felt so free.

Meanwhile, the cat watched the scenario and proceeded to the pet shop.

"Oh hello, little one. Let's get you in."a man said, taking the cat in. The cat smirked.


Your pain… is my pain.

Your tears… are my tears.

Your love… is my hate.

We are… one and the same.

Just so you know, I'm changing "Game Question" to "Game Piece". If you finish reading the chapter (no lies), you get a game piece if there's any. Tally the pieces and count how many are on each arc and overall.

Tell me, don't be shy. It's just a game.
