Sorry about the mini disappearance. I've had a lot on my mind. Cancer in the family, me trying to get the courage to ask my mum about me checking out my anxiety, the norm. I hate leaving my guys on a limb so I decided to pull myself together and give you a chapter. You deserve it.
Note: The line 'have a heart Bishop' was taken from my latest review by Leofan221. I loved it so much that I decided to use it, but recognition needs to be given when needed.
"Dudes, what are we going to do?" Mikey asked his brothers hopelessly, his head in his heads as he sat at the table.
"I can try and check the city cameras." Don said loosely. "But knowing Bishop he probably evaded every single one of them."
"What does he want with them?" Leonardo questioned, more to himself than the others. "They're only kids."
"We're only kids Leo." Don told him.
"Never stopped 'im before." Raphael observed with a shake of his head.
"Have a heart Bishop." Mike muttered.
"I have an idea." Leonardo said suddenly. "What we could do is-"
The four teens all went silent as the sound of gentle tapping reached their ears. They turned to the door, not sure whether to feel relived or terrified at the sight they saw.
"My sons." Splinter greeted with a smile. As much as the four of them attempted to look normal, the rat caught on and quickly frowned. "What did you do?"
~Slight Miscalculation~
Meanwhile, in an alternate dimension... (I think you know where this is going)
He ran around, searched through boxes, scampered around the sewers-but they weren't there. He had taken care of them for little over five years, and he had lost them. Muttering several Japanese curses that Tang Shen would defiantly not approve of, he went back to his searching. This had been going on for nearly a week. He had returned back from a food search, but had been first suspicious at the lack of noise. With the boys still young, and with Leonardo and Raphael within ten feet of each other, there was nearly always a fight or at least light shouting from a game that they had decided to play. But upon walking into their home, he had found no trace of his sons, with everything left as if they had simply vanished into thin air.
At first he had suspected that they had wondered off into the sewers , as Raphael had been doing lately. He also had acquired the habit of getting his younger siblings to join him, Donatello being to timid to decline and Michelangelo yearning to explore. Leonardo often followed the group, if nothing but to bring them back. Splinter left him in charge whenever he left them alone, and his eldest son took it in his stride, even if he did not seem confident in his actions.
Whatsoever
When he found no trace of them in the sewers, he had briefly worried that Oroku Saki had caught up to him and taken them. However, he quickly dismissed that idea. Kidnapping protege's was not the Shredder's style. He was more of the, as they said on the TV that Michelangelo seemed to love so much, 'slay and leave' type. If he had found out about his existence, he would've made himself known. He would've beaten his sons, most likely until they passed on, and left their bodies for him to find. To take them would be tiresome. It would drag on the inevitable. That was not the Saki way.
Yoshi knew what his brother was like.
He sighed, and continued to search. He had to find his sons.
~Slight Miscalculation~
Back in the normal universe- Well not normal but...*sigh* never mind
Splinter sighed and rubbed his temples. He couldn't leave his sons alone for a mere week without an explosion or some sort of catastrophe. Still, managing to get the alter-dimensional copies of yourself captured by one of your worst enemies has to be some sort of record.
"My sons," He said weakly, looking at the four of them, who had the decency to look sheepish. "how do you manage this every time?"
"Master," Mike began. "I would like to say for all of us, from the bottom of my heart...it's all Donnie's fault."
"What?!" Don explained, turning to face his younger brother.
"It is ya machine." Raphael put forward.
"Guys." Leonardo cut in just before Don was going to retaliate. "We're all at fault here, so we all need to try and get them back." His younger brothers all locked gazes and nodded once. "Good. So listen up, this is what were gonna do."
