TMNT: Worlds Rise
Chapter 3: So, you guys from Jersey?
"So...you guys from Jersey?..." The Leo with red markings said.
One group of turtles seemed confused, while the other seemed annoyed.
"Really, Leo?..." The one who looked like Mikey asked, sounding annoyed.
"Hey, you know this is how I cope..." He said, while his own brothers rolled their eyes.
The other group of turtles seemed confused, until their own version of Leonardo shook his head.
"Who are you and what are you doing in our home?!..." Leonardo demanded, sword ready.
"Your home? Listen guy in blue who doesn't look nearly as amazing as I do... we were on our way to Run of the Mill pizza, so if you guys who are clearly doing a poor job of imitating us could pointing us in the right direction, we'll be out of your semi-matching headbands..." The Leo with red marking insisted.
"Oh great, another Leo who is just as annoying as this one..." Raph complained out loud.
Leonardo ignored him before aiming his sword at the four new Turtles.
"Make 'em talk!..." Leo ordered.
With that, the four attacked the four supposed imposters. The other group of turtles frowned, before their own leader starter barking orders too.
"Mad Dogs! Show 'em what the real thing can do!..." The bigger Raph shouted.
"Pfft, Mad dogs?! Are you for real?..." The other Raph scoffed.
The bigger Graph got annoyed and glared at him.
"This real enough for you?!..." He shouted as he charged at him.
With that, a battle ensues.
Leo swung his two katanas as the other Leo with the odachi.
"Whoever you are, you did a poor job of mocking me! I use two sword, not one!..." Leonardo scoffed.
"Yeah, but can your swords do this?!..." The other Leo shouted.
The other Leonardo swung his blade after pushing him off, creating a portal that he jumped into. Leo gasped in surprise before looking up to see him descending with his blade held back. Leo rolled out of the way to avoid that attack.
"Magic? You can use magic?!..." Leo asked, stunned.
"Pfft... some yokai you are, not getting mystic weapons..." The red marked Leo scoffed before the other Leo came running at him.
As those two resumed, Raphael came charging at the tallest turtle. Tonfa met sai as the two were at a standstill.
"Who sent you?! The Foot?! Are you another of Baxter Stockman's experiments? Or did the Triceratons cook you up in some scheme to clone us? Because they did a really ugly job of it!..." The shorter Raph shouted.
"Wow, you are angry..." The taller Raph commented.
"I'll show you angry!..." Raph shouted as he pulled his sais back and tackled into him.
However, the taller Raph was not amused as he used his mystic powers to create a giant fist and pick him up form the waist up.
"W-What the?!..." The smaller Raph exclaimed, shocked.
"Raph does not like picking on smaller guys... especially when they clearly got issues of their own..." The bigger Raph said, before frowning.
He then tossed that Raphael aside, only to see him get back up and snort like a bull before attempting to harm him again.
"I'll show you who's got issues!..." He shouted as they kept fighting.
All the while, Bo staff met bo staff as the two Donnies swung their weapons, blocking and avoiding each blow like a dance.
Donnie thrusted his bo staff at the goggled one, squeezing it to release the blade that made it a spear to make it clear not to underestimate him.
"Be thankful I calculated the distance enough to know not to hit you!..." He warned.
"Hmm... how primitive..." The other Donnie went in examination.
"Can you staff do this?..." He challenged.
By pressing a button, his bo staff created a large fist that swung and punched the other Donnie's staff away. While momentarily at a loss, Donnie then became giddy at the sight of such a weapon.
"Amazing! How'd you do that?!..." He asked, briefly forgetting they were in a fight.
"Ahh... a fellow scientific mind, I see... Let me walk you through my work..."He began, their own fight on a hiatus right now.
As the two Donnies spoke, the two Mikeys faced off.
Several feet apart, one Mikey swung his nunchaku, the other readied his kusari-fundo.
"BOOYAKASHA!"
"HOT SOUP!"
They came jumping at each other, ready to fight. Until...
"You're just like me, dude!..." The went in excitement, pointing at each other's short headbands. "You like pizza too? Me too!..." They both exclaimed at the same time.
Both of them smiled and fidgeted in excitement.
However, among the chaos, one stepped in.
"WHAT IS GOING IN HERE?!..."Was heard.
A slam of his walking stick was loud enough to silence the room.
"Master Splinter!..." The four Turtles native to this world went as they straightened up.
"Tell me why none of you are cleaning your rooms an-..." Splinter became aware of the four other turtles in the room.
"Why am I seeing four MORE Turtles again? And why do they look less similar to each other than the last bunch?..." The rat mutant asked.
"Uh... yeah... about that..." Donnie went nervously as the other Turtles stared at Splinter in disbelief.
"Y'see, I was curious about some Kraang portal tech I worked on an-..."
"Dad?!..." The other Donnie asked, alerting the room.
"Dad?..." This world's Mikey asked, since they've never referred to Splinter by that.
His siblings turned away from their counterparts and went to get a closer look at the rat mutant/ninja master.
"Whoa, when did Pops get so... tall?..." The other Mikey asked, curious.
"Yeah, he's never been that big, even with platform shoes..." The other Leo went.
"Yea? And did you dye your fur? And did something to your face?..." Other Raph asked.
"Uh... actually!..." Donnie called their attention.
"If my thoughts are correct... you guys are i-"
"Another universe!..." The other Donnie went, getting everyone's attention now.
"I should have guessed it. The lack of mystic weapons, the four other Turtles who looked more uniform in attire, the taller version of Splinter... and... how different things feel..."He said, gesturing to his body.
"Huh... yeah... I feel... more solid for some reason..." Other Raph commented.
"I'm guessing that like the last Turtles we met, you came from a 2-dimensional reality, into a third-dimension..." Donnie said.
"Last Turtles?..." Other Mikey asked, wondering what that meant.
"Long story... the point is... you guys are not in your native universe..." Donnie went.
With that, three of the four turtles glared at the one with the Odachi.
"Leo..." Other Raph went, sounding angry.
"Oh come on... I tripped on a milk carton! How could that possibly explain going to another universe instead of getting pizza?..." He asked.
"Milk carton?..." His counterpart asked, while this universe's Raph scoffed.
"Yeah, tripping usually explains why your face suddenly started bleeding..." Raph commented on the other Leo's look.
"These?.." Other Leo asks, gesturing to his face. "No, these are a holdover from before I mutated..." He explained.
As Raph raised an eyebrow, Leo realized something.
"Hold it. You made portals. Were you portaling to some pizza shop?..." He asked.
"Yeah, me and my bros were like, totally starving and I thought a quick short cut couldn't hurt..." His counterpart explained.
As his variant nodded, Leo realized the cause.
"That must've been it. Donnie?..." He asked.
"Yes?..." Both Donnies asked.
"The real one..." Leo said.
"Ouch. Me not being your world's Donatello doesn't make me less real!.." Other Donnie went with arms crossed and an angry scowl.
"Easy. I'm sure that Leo didn't mean it like that..." His counterpart said, trying to calm him down.
"I kind of like this world's Donnie more already..."Other Leo whispered to his brothers, making them snicker, much to their Donnie's annoyance.
"Hmm... it's possible that plus the portal tech short-circuiting must've caused some kind of connection, bringing you guys here..." This world's Donnie theorized.
"So, you can send us back, right?..." Other Mikey asked.
"Uh... I did say it short circuited..." Donnie admitted sheepishly.
"But, we can just portal back ourselves!..." Other Leo said, holding up his Odachi.
"Actually, if we're in a different universe, then there's a good chance that won't work..." Other Donnie said.
"Only one way to find out!..." Other Leo said as he made a portal and entered it.
After a good several seconds, another portal opened and he stepped out, looking both soaked and upset.
"Where'd you go?..." Other Raph asked.
"I WAS portaling to see Todd... but I ended up in some kind of carnival where I fell into a dunk tank. I knew it had to be Todd's place because I saw the same hills before I came back..." He answered.
"So, we really are in another universe? And we're STUCK here?!..." Other Mikey asked in a panic.
"Looks like it..." Other Donnie said flatly.
After a good few seconds, all four of them panicked.
"AHHHHHHHHH!..." They all screamed, rrunning around in circles before each breaking down separately.
Leo was shaking Donnie by the shoulders, Donnie was slapping himself silly as if to wake up from a dream, Raph was in a fetal position, and Mikey cried on the floor.
"I wanna go home! I wanna go home!..." Other Mikey cried.
"Fix this, Donnie!..." The other Raph said, rocking back and forth.
"Yes, fix this!..."The other Leo yelled.
The other Donnie glared at him.
"Stop yelling at me! This is all YOUR fault! I should have known better than to trust one of your stupid short cuts!..." He yelled.
He and the other Leo began to argue, while their own brothers kept panicking.
The Turtles of this world and Splinter stared incredulously before all eyes went to their Donnie.
"You can send them back, right?..." Leo asked.
"Preferably now, before they try something else..." Raph added.
"Well, the device blew up so... based on what I've learn on Kraang tech, I guess we can try to make another one..." Donnie said.
"What about the ones you already have?..." Mikey asked.
"That one I tinkered with, using pieces here and there. But... I did keep a journal on what I used so... maybe, just maybe, we can modify another to send them home..." Donnie said.
With that, Raph grew impatient and walked up to the four panicking other Turtles.
"Did you wannabes hear him?! We can help you get home!..." He shouted.
That stopped their panicking for a moment.
"Wait, for real?..." Other Raph asked.
Donnie nodded.
"Well, yes. It might take some time but I am sure I can figure out a way. This isn't my first time with trans dimensional travel after all..." He sais.
"All right!..." The Mad Dogs all cheered.
With that, all four hugged this world's Donnie.
"I knew you could do it, Donnie!..." Other Raph said, practically squeezing the other turtle.
"Glad to be appreciated..." Other Donnie said.
"This world's Donnie!..." The other Leo, Mikey and Raph said in unison.
"Uh... happy to help?..." Donnie went nervously, as they released him.
The Mad dogs, now calm, noticed something now.
"Ya know...since this is another dimension...and you guys are supposed to be us... it might get pretty confusing when we try to call one of your own or you guys, but you all can't tell who we talking about..." Other Raph pointed out.
"A rare moment but our Raph is right. We may need to use other names to avoid confusion..." Other Donnie admitted.
"Uh...sure..." His counterpart said.
"So, I am assuming that your names are also Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo and Donatello?..." Other Donnie asked.
"Yes but we prefer to go by Mikey, Donnie, Leo and Raph..." Mikey said.
"Okay, well, I will go by Raph then and the other me can be Raphael..." Bigger Raph went.
"Hey, hold the phone! Who said you get to go by Raph?!..." The shorter Raph demanded in anger.
"Oh, right...sorry, how rude of me. Can I go by Raph?..." He asked his counterpart in a surprisingly cordial tone.
"I'll show you rude! You can go-..." Raph was cut off by Splinter.
"Raphael, enough! Show our guests some degree of respect, seeing as their arrival was not of their consent..." He said.
"Ugh, fine. I'll go by Raphael..." His son grumbled.
Other Raph saw this and wondered what was wrong.
"I wonder why he is in such a bad mood..." He thought as his brothers kept trying to figure out what to call themselves.
"Dibs on Leon!..."The Leo with the red markings said, with a cocky smile on his face.
"Uh... you can have that." Leonardo responded with an eyebrow raised.
"Dibs on Michael...though you guys can call me Miguel too if you feel like..." The other Mikey went.
"Miguel?..." His counterpart questioned.
"Its a nickname back home..." Michael said.
"Alright, and I shall be-..." The other Donnie began.
"Let me guess, Bootyyyshaker9000..." Leon interrupted, while his brothers snickered.
Other Donnie sent him a glared.
"Uh, what?..." His counterpart asked.
"Ignore them...I can live with being called Donnatello..." Other Donnie or Donnatello said, still irritated.
"Ugh, what was Bootyshaker suppose to be?..." Mikey asked.
"Donnie's username and password..." Michael said with a laugh.
"I told you guys that in confidence!..." Donatello said, irritated, as they began to bicker.
As this happened, the turtles of this universe shook their heads.
"Geez, another set of goofball turtles..." Raphael grumbled under his breath.
A little later
After the naming issue has been resolved, the turtles tried to solve another problem.
"So... where are they gonna sleep?..." Mikey asked.
"We can use some spare mattresses for makeshift beds in the living room..." Leo suggested.
"Sweet, thanks..." Raph said, while Raphael kept sending him dirty looks.
It was then the four other Turtles' stomach growled loudly, which everyone could hear.
"Oh and uh... got any pizza? We kind of... forgot to eat..." Other Leo said.
With that, Mikey grinned.
"Oh yeah! I'm gonna make some pizza for our... visiting relatives?..." Mikey asked, unsure what to call them.
"Ooh, homemade pizza!..." Other Mikey went in excitement.
"This better not be one of your kitchen disasters, Mikey!..." Raphael said.
"But there's two of me now, so it'll be less disastrous..." Mikey said, only to see that Michael ran to the kitchen.
"Actually, as thanks for letting us stay here and for helping us find our way back home...why don't I make the pizza?..." Michael offered.
Mikey raised a brow.
"Well, I usually do the cooking around here..." He said.
"So do I back home. Wow, you really are my double!..." Michael said excited. "Come on, lets do it together..." He said eagerly as he dragged his counterpart to the kitchen.
"Okay, but if we're making the ultimate pizza of two Mikeys, it needs to have-..."
"Hot sauce!..." The two Turtles in orange went in unison, both growing excited as they entered the kitchen together.
"Are they gonna be okay?..." Donnie asked, recalling how "creative" his orange clad brother could be with food.
"Oh, let them. I doubt he can do any worse..." Raphael said, arms crossed.
"I'm guessing your Mikey isn't too good in the kitchen?..." Leon asked.
"Well, its more like his...food preferences that we have a problem with...wait, you mean yours isn't?..." Leo asked.
"Trust me when I say that when it comes to food, Miguel knows his stuff..." Leon said, trusting his baby brother.
"Uh..." Leo went.
"So...perhaps we should help our...guests and show them our lair..." Splinter said.
"Sure thing, Pops..." The Mad Dogs said
The turtles seemed shocked while Splinter raised a brow.
"Pops?..." He repeated, wondering how different their Splinter and their own world must be.
Meanwhile
Somewhere Else
A large fist slammed into the console of the machine they were using.
"No! I almost had it! Signal interference from both sides blocked me!..." An angry voice said.
"Does that mean something from the other world entered our home universe?..." Another voice asked.
"It must have..." The first one stated.
A loud snort was heard before one of them stormed away.
"The Emperor will not like this..."He muttered, not looking forward to this.
