TMNT: Worlds Rise

Chapter 6: Back at the lair

As the turtles returned to the lair, Big Raph and Leon plopped on the couch, watching TV with Mikey.

Michael was taking a pen and paper to draw Ice Cream Kitty. Donatello, meanwhile, was seeing a demonstration by Donnie on how they make smoke bombs.

"Then I seal it carefully and ta-da! Smoke bombs!..." Donnie went proudly.

"Hmm... low tech but effective..." Donatello went in part compliment and part insult.

"Gee thanks..." Donnie went while sounding deadpan.

Leonardo, entering the room, groaned at the sight of this.

"Are you guys just loafing around?..." He asked.

"No, we're building a spaceship..." Leon said sarcastically.

"Come on less annoying version of Leo, we had a successful mission. We deserve a break..." Raph said.

"Successful? Your cartoon gag would've gotten us in serious trouble!..." Raphael pointed out.

"But it didn't! Ergo, successful!.." Donatello said.

Donnie rolled his eyes as he put his smoke bomb away.

"Condescending tone not withstanding, they're not wrong. We got the device, which was our only real reason for being there..." He admitted.

"See, the plan worked...so there is no problem..." Raph said, grinning at their success.

Leonardo, however, was still not satisfied.

"But the way they fight! It's too... unfocused! Without those powers, you four could've gotten yourselves hurt..." Leo went.

"Even when they don't have powers, just a bo staff that's way cooler than mine..." Donnie grumbled, still looking at his own with mild jealousy.

"And being so annoying that it's like 5 Mikeys now..." Raphael grumbled.

"What's that suppose to mean?..." Miguel asked, sounding upset.

"I meant OUR Mikey..."Raphael said.

"What's wrong with your Mikey? He's being a lot more welcoming than you three and he's not the one whose doohickey brought us here..." Michael pointed out.

Before an argument could break out, the other Mikey rushed in.

"Guys!..." Mikey went, coming from the kitchen. "April said she and Casey are on their way..." He said.

"You have an April here? April O'Neil?..." Leon asks as he got up, looking excited.

"Yeah. And Casey too..." Raphael said.

"Who's Casey?..." Raph asked.

"Huh... I guess you haven't met your world's version yet. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing..." Donnie muttered.

"It'll be a relief to see a familiar face..." Michael said.

Just then, a human teenager entered the lair. One with red hair and fair skin.

"Guys!..." April went, entering before stopping to see the two sets of Turtles. "And... guys..." She went, unsure of what she's saying.

The Mad Dogs saw her but looked at her like she was a total stranger.

"Who is this?..." Leon asked, confused by her presence.

"I thought you said that April was coming?..." Michael asked.

"We did..." Leonardo said.

"April, these are us from another universe..." Donnie said, not seeing the looks on the four's faces.

"These are the guys you mentioned?..." She asked.

"No, this is a different set..." Donnie explained.

"Whoa... hold up!..." Michael went as he and his brother approached her, looking at her like she's something alien.

"THIS is April?..." He asked, sounding surprised.

"Uh... yeah..." She answered, wondering what was wrong.

"Is she an adult in your world too?..." Raphael asked, since that was the case with their other counterparts they met previously.

"No she's... uh..." Big Raph, pulling back.

The Mad Dogs looked unsure what to say without coming off as insensitive.

"She's... different..." Leon went.

"Different how?..." April questioned.

"She's... got glasses..." Don went.

"And different hairstyle..." Michael went.

"And hair color..." Leon added.

"And she's not white..." Big Raph said bluntly.

He then noticed the rest of his brothers glaring at him for saying that out loud.

The Hamato Turtles were silent, unsure how to respond as April felt uncomfortable from the silence.

"I... see..." April said, unsure what to think of that.

"Uh... oh... okay, I realize now we weren't trying to lead into that info..." Big Raph admitted with a guilty look on his face.

As that went on, Casey entered.

"Yo Raph! I got some new hockey sticks! Wanna-..." He then paused upon seeing the Hamato Turtles and the Mad Dogs. "I bump my head? Cause I'm seeing double but kinda distorted for one half..."

"Yeah, we don't know anyone like that..." Leon said.

"Lucky you..." Donnie murdered silently as he knew what it was like to deal with Casey.

"So... other Turtles?..." April asked, getting their attention. "What's the big multiversal threat or whatever?..." She asked, concerned.

"There's no threat. Your Donnie's gizmo messed with a portal we were about to use and brought us here..." Leon stated.

"That sounds like something Donnie would do..." Casey commented, much to Donnie's irritation

"I heard that..." Donatello said, arms crossed.

"Relax, I meant this Donnie..." Casey said, pointing to this dimensions Donnie.

"Oh.." Don said. "Well, even so..." He added, since he still felt like it was a personal insult.

Donnie rolled his eyes.

"Almost curious how this Casey free universe is like..." He muttered under his breath, as the Mad Dogs began their story to the human teenagers.

20 minutes later

After the initial shock had passed, the Mad Dogs explained who they were to the human teenagers, who were listening to every word.

"So, you guys have magi-..."

"Mystic powers..." Donatello corrected her. "And that's just the!, I rely solely on my tech..." He added.

"Right... Mystic powers and fight yokai, and your Shredder is some big metal monster demon?" April asked.

"Sounds awesome!..." Casey went.

"Huh... I like this guy..." Leon gestured to Casey.

"You play skate ball?..." He asked.

"Never heard of that...but it sounds cool..." Casey said.

"Okay...we definitely need to play a round before we head back..." Leon said, grinning.

"Dibs on Casey's team! Anything to shut up any Leo!..." Raph went, causing Leonardo to roll his eyes.

"And... how long will it take to send them home? I kinda wanna learn more about their world..." April said.

"Well, the last parts I need should arrive... either tonight or tomorrow..." Donatello said.

"Which means we just chill here until then..." Big Raph said, kicking back.

"Ah... April..." Splinter said from afar, getting her and Casey's attention. "I trust you two have what I asked of you..." He said.

"You got it, Sensei..." April said as she used her powers to levitate an object out of the box Casey brought, surprising the Mad Dogs.

"That vase I mentioned from Second Time Around, from Kyoto..." She said.

"We got other stuff, yo..." Casey said.

"Excellent. Please help me make room..." Splinter said as he motioned them to follow.

Once he became aware of their jaws being dropped after they left, Donnie cleared his throat.

"To summarize, April was experimented on by aliens as a baby, so she has psychic powers..."He explained.

The Mad Dogs looked at each other in surprise.

"Okay... kind of liking your April now..." Don admitted as he put on his goggles. "May I study her?..." He asked with an almost mad doctor-level eagerness.

Leon slapped him in the back of the head for that.

"Donnie! Not helping!..." He, Raph and Michael all shouted at him, while the other Donnie got protective of his female friend.

"Uh, no. I'm the only Donnie who can be around he- Uh... I'm the only Donnie she trusts..." Donnie went, blushing hard.

"Whoa, what's with Donnie without the giant ego?..." Big Raph asked, noticing that reaction.

"Donnie likes April..." Mikey said quickly, earning the ire of his tall brother.

"We like our April too..." Michael said before realizing his words. "Wait...your Donnie likes April? As in like like?..." He asked.

"Uh...yeah...what? Yours doesn't?..." Leo asked.

"No..." Leon said before an idea came to him.

He smirked.

"Unless...Don, my dear brother...is there something you haven't been telling us?..." He asked in a teasing way.

"Oh please, there is only one woman who is my ideal partner..." Donatello insisted.

"Yeah... a costume character..." Leon pointed out.

"Pfft... their Donnie likes a costume character? And I thought OUR Donnie's thing for April was a riot..." Raphael mocked.

"Aww... how adorable!..." Michael went.

"Don't joke..." Donnie muttered, thinking he was teasing him.

"Who's joking? I think that's sweet of you to be in love with a close friend like that!..." Michael went.

"See, Donnie! There's at least one Turtle in the multiverse who doesn't think your thing for April is creepy or hopeless..." Mikey went.

"I'm so honored..." Donnie grumbled.

"What about the rest of you? Do you have girlfriends?..." Michael asked, curious.

"I know a time traveler named Renet, she's a total babe. Leo and Karai had a whole thing..." Mikey said.

"A thing we agreed to never talk about..." Leo muttered, seeing as she's technically their sister.

"And you already know about Mona Lisa..." Mikey said.

"Oh yeah... smaller me's got a girlfriend. What's she like?..." Big Raph asked as the Mad Dogs got closer to him.

"Yeah, she's a ONE RAPH kind of alien..." Raphael said, refusing to speak up.

"Aww! That's just cute! So protective!..." Michael went, hugging him.

"Knock it off!..." Raphael said, pushing him back.

"So there is a soft side under that shell..." Michael went.

Raphael's temper started to rise as his brothers snickered over his predicament.

"Shut up!..." He said in a low voice.

"Aww... but I wanna know more about this Mona Lisa! Is she pretty? Is she nice? Do you plan to propose to her someday? Is there a chance this world's Splinters gonna become a grandpa someday?!..." He asked with increasing giddiness.

His words unintentionally ended up bugging the far more I rather Raphael who responded the only way he knew how.

He snapped!

"CAN YOU KNOCK IT OFF? I GOTTA DEAL WITH ONE MIKEY GIVING ME A MIGRAINE, I DON'T NEED TWO DOSES!..." Raphael snapped in a harsh way, loud enough to alert his brothers.

As Michael pulled back and clung to Leon, not used to someone being so loud and rude to him, Big Raph stepped in.

"Rookie mistake, smaller and meaner me!..." Raph said, glaring at him.

"I don't know how you guys do it here but You don't mess with OUR Mikey!..." Leon said as he and Don stood by Big Raph's side.

"Oh, what? You're here to baby him?..." Raphael questioned in sarcasm.

"He IS our baby brother, you micro jerkface! He's only 13..." Leon said as he held onto the teary-eyed Michael.

"It's okay, little brother. Shorter, meanie Raph doesn't know you like we do..." He said in a soothing tone.

"Thanks, Leo..." Michael said in appreciation.

"Wait, 13? He's that much younger?..." Raphael asked, actually surprised to hear that.

"Yeah... and he's also our brother..." Big Raph said as he walked up to Raphael. "Mess with him again, and you'll learn not to mess with the Mad Dogs..." He said in a threatening way.

"What are you gonna do? Give me an even stupider name than Mad Dogs?..." Raphael scoffed

"Stupid?! Mad Dogs is awesome!..." The taller Raphael went before looking to his brothers, feeling unsure.

"Right?.." He asked.

All three of them shook their heads in disagreement and with unmoved faces.

"See? Even they know it!..." Raphael of this other world shouted.

"Well, I'M leader and I say it's a great name!.." Raph responded.

"And I thought the names MY Mikey gives were stupid..."He said.

"Dude, I'm right here..."Mikey said, looking bothered.

Big Raph's saw this continued attitude and fist started to glow.

"It's bad enough to badmouth your own brother, but you made the mistake to badmouth mine! You better apologize to our Mikey, right now or else!..." He warned.

"What are you gonna, "Big Raphie"? Ask me while making baby noises?..." Raphael mocked before a "power smash jutsu" fist sent him into a wall.

"Ooh!..." The Hamato Turtles went, somewhat impressed and easily amused be their Raph's getting what was coming to him.

Raphael pushed himself off the wall and stormed over.

"Oh, now I see a bit of me in there? Let's see what else you can do!..." Raphael challenged.

"You wanna get even shorter? Fine! I'll flatten you!..." Big Raph went.

Both of their Leos held them back, not wanting a fight to occur.

"Whoa! Raph!..." Leo went.

"What happened to being nice to them for letting us stay here?..." Leon reminded him.

"This smaller Raph has been getting on Big Raph's nerves!..." Big Graph said, his own temper acting up.

"Does Big Raph know how to NOT speak in the third person?!..." Raphael snapped.

"That's it! I'm gonna enjoy this!..." He said trying to break free and pull out his tonfas.

"Yamete!..." A voice went before both Raphs were pinched in the ear area, stiffening them.

"S-Sensei!..." Raphael went.

"Ah! Stop it, taller, stricter version of Pops!..." Big Raph went, holding back tears.

"Raphael! Enough!..." Splinter shouted as he let them go.

Both Raphs stared at each other, unsure of who he meant.

"Me or...?" The two went while pointing at each other.

"Both of you!..." Splinter went, loud enough to make all 8 flinch in fear.

Splinter calmed down slightly before looking at the taller Raph.

"I commend you for defending your Michelangelo, but do not knock my son into a wall..." He said while Raphael sent his double a smug look.

"No matter how much he invited it onto himself..." He added, making his son drop his smug look.

Big Raph looked regretful, realizing he had gotten carried away.

"I understand, Po- I mean... Master Splinter. Sorry..." Big Raph said as he pressed his fingers together to look genuinely apologetic.

Splinter nodded before he looked at the other Raph.

"And you, you must learn to show hospitality to our guests..." Splinter said.

"But Sensei! He's-..."

"He is you! A much more polite you, but you nonetheless..." He added.

Raphael frowned at that while his adoptive father glanced at the rest.

"Sensei... with all do respect, you weren't there. You didn't see how they fought during our mission!..." Leo went.

"You escaped unharmed and with what you need, did you not?..." Splinter questioned.

Leo remained silent, knowing Splinter was in the right.

"Then that should be enough..." He said.

"See? He gets it..." Leon gloated, only to be silenced when Splinter sent him a stern look.

"You are all Turtles of the Hamato Clan, all of you. And ALL are treated like family here... do not disrespect your father's willingness to show them hospitality.. Understood?..." He asked sternly.

"Hai, sensei..." They all said.

"Good..." He said sternly before walking away.

"He may not look like our Splinter, but he can sound like him... when he's not sleeping in or eating cake..." Don whispered to Leon, who nodded along.

With Splinter's stern talking down, Raphael's anger was used up.

"Yeah... uh... sorry... other Mikey..." Raphael said with his head down.

"It's okay... I guess that I kind of pressed your buttons..." Michael admitted. "So, sorry about that..." He apologized.

"This is another good reason none of us are dating..." Leon whispered to Don and Big Raph, who both nodded.

Once they were calmed down, one turtle noticed something.

"Wait...if your Mikey is 13...how old are you guys?..." Donnie asked, curious at this reveal.

"I'm the oldest at 15..." Raph boasted proudly.

"I'm 14..." Donatello said.

"Same...we're twins..." Leon said in a teasing matter.

"Twins? But I thought you said you weren't even the same species?..." Donnie asked while his double rolled his eyes.

"For the hundredth time Leon, just because we are the same age...doesn't make us twins. Again, not the same species of turtle..."Donatello said.

"Aw, you know you love it when we argue..." Leon teased.

Donatello rolled his eyes at that.

"Since you are asking us this, I assume that is not the case with you guys?..." Don asked.

"Yes, we were all the same age...We're all 15..." Donnie explained.

"Ah, so you guys are all quadruplets, then..." Leon said.

Leo would have said something but noted his point.

"Well, I guess...in a technical way, you can look at it like that..."He admitted.

"So, how do you know who's oldest?..." Raph asked.

"Ask Splinter, he's the one who bought us from a pet store when he was still human. I'm guessing I was the first to hatch..." Leonardo said.

"So...changing the subject entirely, what's the next thing on the agenda of getting us home?..." Don asked.

"Like I said, we wait for the rest. In the meantime, I can use a little help disassembling the device for the spare parts..." Donnie explained.

"Then let's get cracking. I'll supervise and by supervise I mean take over this project and make sure it's to my own specifications..." Don said, eager to show off his skills.

Donnie looked unamused as his brothers sent him mocking smiles.

"This is how we feel when you try to act all smarty pants on us..." Mikey commented.

Donnie scowled at his brothers, saying nothing in response

He went back to his lab, with his more arrogant double following him and began talking.

"Okay, to start with...I am going to need a computer, a decent power source and of course-..." Donatello began to ramble a long list of things he needed, while Donnie looked annoyed.

"Sending them back couldn't come soon enough..." He thought, as he started working.

REPLIES to my loyal and totally awesome reviewer:

RonaldM40196867:

1) I'd say 2012 Ralph but Rise Ralph still enjoys a good fight.

2) Maybe

3) I see.

4) He is kinda jealous of Rise Donnie's bo staff.

5) Probably Draxum while he was still evil.

6) Maybe.

7) Probably.

8) I'd say 2012 Splinter since he lost his wife and his daughter was taken by his sworn enemy.

9) I am neutral to both.
