In the Dark of the Night
Mikey had long since gotten over his dizziness from being flung into the Puzzle Box again, and was also kicking himself in the shell for touching the crystals to begin with, he's found that lately every time he touches anything that's shiny it ends up causing trouble. Only this time he was separated from his brothers, and he had to get home to see if they were alright, for all he knows they could have ended up in the wasp world again, or in the alternate realities that Ultimate Drako sent them to that one time, or some kind of Dimension X for all he cares, he just wanted to know that they were okay! Okay, time to calm down, he knows that the crystals of the Puzzle box turned into some kind of weird feng shui mirror, then it glows ad zaps him and his brothers into a tunnel like the first time when Raph first found April's artifact and they got zapped to the wasp world, “That's it, this is definitely raph's fault, if he hadn't found that damned puzzle cube, I'd be at home, reading comics, watching TV, Pining over Michelle Rodriguez in the Fast and Furious movies and--” He looks up seeing what looked like a Silhouette of Leo waving at him, “Leo!” he starts running through the brush, “Aw dudes am I ever glad to see you--” he stops when he realizes he was seeing a memorial of four Ninja turtles, not them specifically, but again, like that time with Ultimate Drako, it was four heroic ninja turtles.
Mikey walks up to the memorial brushing aside the moss to read the epitaph on it, “Four Turtles who against all odds gave their lives to preserve our future, they were greatly loved by their mother, and will be even more greatly missed by all” he noticed the mark of the Foot under it, okay, so apparently the foot clan are good guys in this dimension, but then what happened here. A howl in the woods soon drew his attention away from the memorial as he slowly looks over his shoulder seeing glowing red eyes of what might be a pack of animals, he had to assume a pack of wolves given the howl. This thought however was debunked when what looked like a Rottweiler sporting a row of bone spikes on it's back, Sabre-toothed fangs, elongated claws, and a foaming mouth full of blue mutagenic ooze like the stuff Bishop's aliens exploded into and what caused the outbreak virus. The beast along with it's pack comes into veiw showing the same mutated condition they were all in, “Sewer Apples.....” was all he could say before the mutant beast and his pack charge Mikey who was forced to run, however the youngest of the four turtles had not gone unseen.
Mikey kept running dropping caltrops and shuriken to slow the mutant canines down but it proved ineffective since their claws plowed through his ninja trick tools like they were just pebbles. He was ready to turn and try to drive them off, however someone flies by him landing behind him. Mikey stopped running to get a good look, it was a Mutant bat, or looked like one anyway, she takes a deep breath and lets off a high-pitched screech that makes the dogs chasing Mikey cower and wimper before they turn and run, “Stupid patrol, they were supposed to clear the area of these things....” she turns looking at Mikey and walks up to him circling him, “You look like one of the hero turtles.....but you're different too....” getting a good look at her, mikey hadn't realized his mouth fell open in shock, she was so cute looking, sporting foot coverings like a kick boxer, sport shorts, no top to cover, there wasn't much showing anyway since she was fur bearing, and her eyes were amber orange. The girl before him closing his mouth is what snapped him back to reality, “Uh...no...I'm not.....believe it or not I'm from a different world all together, it kind of looks like this only.......not so Post-apocalyptic or mutated...” the girl ticks her head sideways looking at him, “i do believe it actually, that sounds like something Dr. Chaplain would say” Mikey blinks a few times, then remembers some timid red-headed scientist that worked with Karai since Baxter Stockman worked with Bishop.
The girl taps the side of her head with a fist, “I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself, My name is Puck, what's yours?” she smiles brightly at mikey which makes him blush, wait why is he blushing? He barely knows her, “uhh...My name is Hamato Michaelangelo, my bros call me Mikey though” Puck giggled at him, “I like Mikey, it sounds cool” now he was sure his face was as red as Raph's mask from that statement alone. Puck grabs mikey's hand and leads him out of the woods past the memorial, he takes one last look his mind now wondering if his own real brothers were alright after what happened, then it's snapped back to facing forward when he finds that he's heading for new york, or whatever was left of it as it was slowly being rebuilt.
Puck holds mikey by the waist, “Hang on tight” she jumps off the cliff over-looking the recovering city and takes flight, “WHOA!!!!” caught off-guard all he could do was hold tight to Puck's arms, she stoops in the air then dives towards the city, “COWABUNGA~!!!!!” Mikey looks up, his eyes sparkling at hearing that word uttered from her when usually Raph gives him a hard time about calling it out. She flies around the buildings carrying him, but then shifts her body so she could close her legs under his shoulders and around his mid-section, when she does this she lifts her arms up as they merge with her wings and she picks up speed, “are you a were-bat or something?” Puck chuckles, “No it's my mutation, it's got a shifting quality to it where I can merge my arms with my wings, what about you? Can you tuck into your shell or take it off or something?” You know, mikey never thought about it, neither he nor his brothers really explored their natural abilities as turtles other then swimming and holding their breaths under water for more than 5 minutes at a time. Puck reaches her destination and lands mikey on his feet first, then Lands next unfolding her arms from her wings. She steps forward to a Kotatsu with someone sitting at it fixing tea for herself, “Master, i've found someone that I think might interest you out in the woods. The patrol hasn't come back or reported in 10 minutes either, it might be a good idea to consider a rescue mission” the person at the table nods, “Very well then, I shall set up a rescue team immediately” Mikey knew that voice, it was a familiar one from previous interactions.
Puck steps aside letting her master see the young turtle in full, and it was in point of fact none other than the Daughter of the Shredder himself, Oroku Karai, now known as Lady Shredder and Leader of the Foot Clan, “Karai!!!” Karai kriks a brow at him, “ I do not believe we have met young turtle” Mikey shook his head remembering that he was in an alternate time-line and not his own, probably even an alternate reality on top of an alternate time line, “Sorry, it uhh.....I.....it's a REEEEEEEEAAALLY long story.....” Karai holds out her hand motioning for Mikey to sit, “By all means young one, tell me.” He sat and Began his story with Puck taking a seat next to him to listen.
