Umm...I don't know what to say here.
Sorry?
Like, sorry, sorry, sorry! I've just been so busy! I've had planning this huge party thing with the council, a speaking conception, the school play and work every Friday, as well as a residential school trip. I just checked the story, I haven't updated sicnr NOVEMBER.
On the bright side, you guys are awesome for not-you know, shouting at me and all.
That much...
I feel like I should do a disclaimer, but I want to be consistent with the rest of the story. That, and it's pretty obvious that I don't own the franchise.
Bishop smiled, turning away from the bookcase. "Oh good, the whole set."
"Let them go Bishop!" Leonardo yelled.
"Or what?" Their foe sneered.
Raphael smirked. "You don't wanna find out."
Bishop got into a ready stance, before rushing forward at the turtles. Three of them ran to meet them, while Don ran over to the toddlers.
"Are you guys alright?" He asked them.
The four children looked from one to another, before Donnie answered. "We're adequate."
Don reached up and helped Mikey, who was closest, down from the bookcase. One by one he got their counterparts down to the ground.
"Wook out!" Mikey yelled, pointing behind the larger turtle.
Don span around, barely blocking Bishop's attack with his staff. He twirled it around his head before jamming it into his adversary's stomach, sending him backwards towards his brothers.
Turning back, he pulled the katana out of the wall and threw it back to his brother. "Catch!"
Leonardo jumped up, catching the weapon mid-air, before crossing the katanas and pushing Bishop out the door. Don ran forward and quickly programmed the station next to it, causing the steel door to fall down from the ceiling, trapping Bishop outside the room.
"Come on!" Leonardo called. "Bishop won't take long to get to the other door!"
Each of the teens grabbed their own counterpart and ran out the second door, dashing down the corridors. The sound of following perusers was echoing behind them. They ran through the exit and all barrelled into the Battle Shell.
"Step on it!" Mike shouted.
Raph, who had jumped into the driving seat upon entry, quickly turned on the vehicle and stepped on the gas, violently jolting the occupants forward, but speeding them away from Bishop.
"You came." Leo said to the older leader, childlike awe written on his face.
Leonardo looked down at the child. He smiled slightly, rubbing the 5 year old's head. "Of course we did."

2 days later
"Ok, that should do it." Don announced.
The portal was once again operational, and with Don having punched in the final calculations. Once the kids jumped back through, they'd be back in their home. Of course, saying goodbye is easier thought of than said.
April and Casey watched as the elders said a final goodbye to their counterparts. April had to hold back a few tears. Over the course of their say, the children had become quite attached to the teens, and it was quite obvious that the feeling was mutual.

"Hey little dude," Mike started. "take this, you know, so you remember everything."
Mikey's eyes widened as he was handed Mike's only copy of Silver Sentry #1. He started at the booklet for a few moments before running forward and hugging his new friend.
"Miss you." He said, his speech slightly muffled by Mike's plastron.
The older turtle sighed and returned the hug. "I'll miss you too Mikey."
~Slight Miscalculation~
Donnie smiled a new gap tooth grin as Don handed him the updated particle replicator.
"You may have to do a bit of tweaking," Don added, "bit other than that, it's good to go."
"This is...awesome!" Donnie exclaimed. "Thank you so much!"
Don smiled at him. "Hey, you helped build it, you keep it."
~Slight Miscalculation~
"Thanks for saving us." Leo thanked.
"No problem." Leonardo told him. "I've got something for you."
Leo looked at the wooden katanas in Leonardo's hand with awe. "Woah."
"I got these when I was seven. You can keep them until your sensei says you can use them. Then when you're older, you can get proper katanas and lead all your brothers."
"Thanks!"
~Slight Miscalculation~
Raphael glanced over at his brothers, a small amount of heat rushing to his face. "Umm...I didn't kno' we were gettin' stuff for you lot."
Raph shrugged and pointed to the lightning bolt on his plastron. "I got this!"
Raphael felt bad that the kid had to go through life with a scar, but if he was going to, it might as well be a cool one. "Yeah, ya did. Just 'member, you have a battle scar-ya brothers don't." He left out the part where by the time they were his age, they'd probably have too many scars to count.
"Ok, you guys better go." Donnie called, standing at the control panel of the portal.
The four toddlers stood in front of the shimmering light and, with a last wave behind them, stepped back into their own time-separated from the teens forever.
Silence came over the lair as they all looked at where the kids had just been, small sad smiles on their faces.
Then-
"Now, this has all been touching, but when am I going to my home?" Serling reminded.
~Slight Miscalculation~
Back in the other dimension
Splinter, never being one to give up, was still searching for his lost sons. Every day, however, he felt as if he was fighting a losing battle. They had been gone too long now-would he really ever find them?
From a nearby room, a loud crash echoed throughout the tunnels. He ran to the source, and was astonished to find the four boys in a heap on the ground.
"My sons!" He called. "Where have you been?"
Wordlessly his youngest son pointed upwards. Splinter looked up, just in time to see a bright light shrink and disappear into nothing. The rat was left staring at the ceiling, then back at his sons.
"My sons, I believe you have a bit of explaining to do."
This isn't the end, I still have an epilogue.
