Turning point is here! *I do not own anything related to either of the Ninja Turtles cartoons* Enjoy!
A tall man with black hair, black armor, and a black hockey mask was approaching us, and he crossed his arms when he stopped walking.
"Who are you guys supposed to be?"
"I'm Karena, and this is April," I answered, and the man backed up as though he was surprised. He turned toward April, and he took off his hockey mask to look at her closely.
"You don't look like April O'Neil," he remarked.
"I'm actually April O'Neil from another world," April replied with a raised eyebrow.
"Let me guess: the April O'Neil you know is kidnapped?" I asked. The man had wide eyes at this point, and to my right, three of the Turtles showed up through the window.
"How did you know?" the man asked.
"We came as soon as you called, Casey," said the purple-clad turtle, Donatello. This Donatello sounded a little more mature than the Don I know.
"Uh...what's with the girls?" the orange-clad, Michelangelo asked as the Turtles turned to look at us.
"We're here to help with the case of April's disappearance," I answered. "As a matter of fact, I'm trying to track down the kidnapper, who is in fact related to the case I'm working on."
"Someone you know is kidnapped too?" the red-clad, Raphael, asked. He was pretty quiet until now.
"Yes, but not from where I'm from; my boyfriend and other friends from other worlds have been kidnapped as well."
"You know where April went?" the man called Casey asked.
"No, but we're trying our best to find his hideout," I replied. "The only clues we've been getting lately were pieces of paper with a riddle on it."
"This?" Donatello asked as he walked from a table with a piece of paper.
"Yep. Is there something written on it?" April asked. Donatello proceeded to read what was written on the slip.
A girl lost her mother at a young age, and she was in grief for years. She is now a young lady in high school, and she stole a remote, determined to rule the world one day. The owner of the remote fought her twice, but he was defeated both times: the first time by the girl, and the second time by her boyfriend. With only seconds to spare, her world will cease to exist.
I growled while Donatello read the note. "This is no movie. The Magician totally messed the story up."
"What are you talking about?" Raphael asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I am the girl, but I didn't steal the remote; the Magician lost it. I found it while setting up my television set, and I didn't expect to get warped into a movie two months ago. I do not want to rule the world; if I did, it would be for the good of the people."
"So what does the last part mean?" Michelangelo asked.
"His hideout is in my world," I replied. "But which high school is he located at?"
"Karena," my ear buzzed with my dad's voice. "Jackson's at your high school. But be careful coming back; things are going crazy here."
"Expect a lot of company," I replied. "I'll tell you what the plan is here in a moment." Then I turned toward Casey and the three Turtles, Leonardo being absent, and I smiled. "Ready to kick some butt?"
Raphael was very eager to go, as was Michelangelo, who offered to take the van with us. I thought it was a good idea, considering I was going to be bringing TONS of people with me. Casey put on his game face, and Donatello put his duffle bag over his shoulder. We all walked out of the apartment and got in the van...the Cowabunga Carl Van to be exact. I looked in, and it was a mess! Then I realized not only that the van was messy, but if the Turtles go to all the movies with me, then their world, along with Leonardo, would vanish.
"On second thought," I spoke. "We're going to split up. Not everyone is going to fit in the van with all the pizza boxes in here. The Turtles will transport to Star Wars and the Incredibles. April will go to her home world and the Justice League. I'll go to Lord of the Rings and Meet the Robinsons. I'll summon all of you once we got our allies, and we'll all transport to Theodore Roosevelt High School back in my world. Any questions?"
"Uh, yeah," Michelangelo responded. "Who are we getting?"
"The Turtles will meet Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn in the library; they will blend in easily with the populace because they're all aliens. Casey will meet the Parr family-Invisigirl, the Dash, and Mr. Incredible-with the exception of Elastigirl at their house; the Turtles can NOT be seen in that world, so you guys can hide in the shadows." I turned to April. "You grab Master Splinter and anyone else you can find, then meet the Justice League. If anyone asks who in particular, I believe Batman, Wonder Woman, and or Superman are best for the job." I paused.
"Who are you going to get?" Casey asked, and I turned to face him.
"I'm getting a Gondorian, a Dunedain ranger, a Rohirrim warrior, and a dwarf as well as Mr. and Mrs. Robinson. Any other questions?"
"How are we going to be in touch?" Raphael asked.
"Here," I handed Donatello and April ear buds, and I put one in my ear. "We'll communicate with these. I'll push the button on the remote when you're ready."
"Leo usually figures out everyone's weaknesses very well," Donatello chimed in. "Do you know anything that might help us free the captives?" I turned toward the purple-clad.
"Obi-Wan Kenobi is a Jedi, so if he is bound by a strong force, he's stuck with no way out. Helen, or Elastigirl, has pretty much the same thing unless the bounding is very light; she can stretch."
"The Turtles in my world are similar to you guys: Raph doesn't think before acting, Don does not simplify things, Mikey is distracted easily, and Leo is not very good at trusting his instincts as a leader yet," April chimed in. "But no matter what, they have the same skills and will not be able to escape if bound. Hawkgirl doesn't have powers, so same thing with her."
"Okay, explain all of this in American," Casey requested.
"All of the captives except for Obi-Wan and Elastigirl will be bound the same way; they won't be able to move their hands or feet. Obi-Wan can use the Force...kind of like telekinesis, and Elastigirl can stretch. So their chains are special, I believe."
"That's good enough for me," Donatello replied with a smile. "I'll get to work on the keys for those...oh wait. Can you take a picture of the locks and give them to me?"
"I'll do that when we get there," April replied.
"Let's go," Casey said with a smirk, and I pushed the three buttons on the remote. We all went our separate ways until we would meet again in Los Angeles: The Turtles in the van were first, then April, and finally me. The Magician was going to pay for hurting my friends, especially the guy I like.
I may think about doing one-shots for each of the characters; the next chapter will not be about the characters' journeys through the vortex, but the next chapter should be exciting.
