Turtle's POV
It was just another day at the lair, with Mikey and Raph skating on some ramps in the main room. Leo lay sprawled on the couch with a comic book, and Donnie was in his lab like usual. Suddenly, there was a crackling noise in the middle of the main room as a glowing blue portal began to open. Donnie happened to catch a glimpse of the strange glow through his lab window and came to investigate as a boy around their age stepped through, brushing his golden blonde hair back with a smirk. Behind him, an older man stepped through with a stern look in his dark eyes. Both of them spelled bad news with their dark auras and their fancy suits. The turtles immediately assembled, drawing their weapons at the ready as Mikey spoke up nervously, "Guys, I think it's the mafia dudes Zo told us about..."
"And... where is miss Zodia Blackwing?" the older man spoke up in what sounded like an Italian accent.
"Yep, definitely mafia," Mikey whispered to his brothers, "Seen enough movies to recognize that accent..."
Raphael shot Mikey a glare that silently told him to shut up as Leo stepped forward with a cocky smirk, pointing a katana at them, "And what makes you think we'll give away our friend?"
"Listen here, you cartoon ninja wannabe," the blonde haired boy spoke up with an edge behind his accent.
"Who are you calling a 'wannabe', you matrix agent carbon copy?" Donnie shot back, interrupting the boy and Leo gave his genius brother a smirk, "Good one, Don!"
Raph spoke up with a protective growl in his tone as he pointed a sai at the two, "We ain't givin you Zo so you might as well just leave!"
"Yeah- you're too late anyway!" Mikey piped up with a knowing grin as he folded his arms confidently, "She already went home!"
"Mikey!" the others shouted in disbelief and frustration and the orange turtle clapped his hands over his mouth in shock, "Oops!"
The older, dark haired man grinned wickedly, "Thank you, Michaelangelo, you've helped us greatly." He then stepped back into the portal, glancing at the boy, "Come along, Zach- we have work to do."
As soon as the older man was out of sight, he turns to the turtle's who all look equally horrified and worried. He takes a breath before telling them in a tone low enough that the older man wouldn't hear, "Look, I'm against what they're doing as well. Donatello, find a way to warn Zodia before my father can get to her- I can't warn her without raising suspicion."
The genius turtle nodded once with a firm expression and the others seemed bewildered by Zach's attempt to help Zodia, but before they had time to process what had just happened, they heard the older man call for Zach and he quickly moved through the portal with it closing behind him.
Donnie immediately made for his lab, his mind racing as Leo called after him, asking what Donnie was doing.
"I have an idea," Donnie called back, "Zodia still has the tech-scythe I gave her- maybe I can create some kind of quantum entanglement between my tech-bo and her tech-scythe that will allow us to communicate across worlds!"
"Good idea, Donnie!" Raph spoke up and the purple clad turtle glances at his spiked brother with a determined smirk before disappearing into his lab.
