Chapter Text
Soho, New York
“Okay guys! I’m heading home, see you guys Monday.”
Out of all the places throughout New York, SoHo seemed like the only place that didn’t seem to be affected by the crime. It was a Neighborhood for Fashion, Art Galleries and a Bunch of Chain Stores that people would go to. The shop owners all care about the safety of their products so the security in the stores is tight, so there aren't that many problems around the district.
A blonde haired man in a blue coat was walking down the streets of Soho on the way to his house in Queens, he would’ve called an Uber but he didn’t really trust most of the drivers so he walked each time, and nothing has happened yet…..
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXmk8dbFv_o
“Why do I even work this late? I need to get my shift rescheduled.”
On the farm, ev'ry Friday
On the farm, it's rabbit pie day
So ev'ry Friday that ever comes along
I get up early and sing this little song
As the man continued to walk down the streets, he took out his phone and called an Uber. It was dangerous to be out on the streets and he needed to get asap. While he was putting his phone away, he stopped by an alley, he turned his head and noticed some dudes in black suits and lab coats putting boxes inside of a van….. There was a 1930’s song playing from inside that made this even more eerier and instead of being an idiot and investigating, he did the smart thing and kept walking.
“Nope, nope, not worth it. Just keep waking…. Keep walk-
Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run
Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run
Bang, bang, bang, bang goes the farmer's gun
Run rabbit, run rabbit, run, run, run, run
Just when he thought he was out of the clear, the man was suddenly grabbed by the men in lab coats, he tried fighting back but the coated figures had a strange advantage on him, they injected some weird tranquilizer in his neck and he quickly fell unconscious. They then dragged him into the alleyway and towards the Van where there were two suited men standing by the open door.
“He put up a good fight at least, hope he’s worth the time.” One of the coated men said.
“Well done, tell Prime that a new test subject has been acquired.”
….
April was sitting inside of a van in the alley where she met the turtles, it had been a week since the whole Hob incident passed, the turtles decided to play it smart and wait out their punishment while preparing for their crime-stopping spree. Hopefully they wouldn’t get killed in the process. It was taking a while for the four other teens to appear so April just sat in the van flipping through radio stations.
“How long does it take for them to get ready?” She groaned.
April rubbed her face as she saw the manhole in front of the van open up, a head peaked out and the turtles soon came out onto the surface one by one.
“Okay now where’s April?” Leo asked.
HONK
All of the turtles jolted from the car horn, before they looked behind them and saw April inside of the van, who looked frustrated as hell.
“What the hell took you guys so long?! I’ve been waiting for an hour!” April shouted as she got out of the van.
“We were supposed to be here earlier but Splinter had to lecture on what NOT to do while we’re up here.”
“Damn, he’s still on your asses because of what happened?”
“Yep.”
“Okay so what time do you guys gotta be back here?”
“3 hours.”
“So it’s 6pm and you guys gotta be back at 9. Okay we can make this work.” April said as she turned the car on, the radio volume was set pretty high so she turned it down so they wouldn’t go deaf.
“ Okay so I got my dad’s Police Scanner that I borrowed, I got a GPS set up and a voice recorder so we can replay what goes off and a notepad full of police codes. We’re only gonna do break-ins or stop robberies, nothing major.”
“How do we know we’ll get there in time?”
“There’s usually a 10 minute delay for when the cops get there, yeah it’s pretty damn confusing-
April was immediately interrupted by the scanner starting to go off as static came from it before it cleared up and a beep was heard.
“ 10-22 possible break in at 920 Boulevard.”
“10-4 on route right now.”
“920 Boulevard, Donnie put that into the GPS.” April ordered.
“Jeez already?”
“Well they don’t call NYC one of the worst places in America for some people.”
“Why? It looks halfway decent if you ignore the crime.” Leo asked.
“Well that’s because every politician and half of the cops are crooked, it’s like a modern day GTA game. C’mon get in!”
The turtles didn’t waste no time and jumped into the Van and April sped off.
“Hey folks it’s your man Troy with 107.5 Rockefeller Rock! So y’all heard about those gang members who showed up at a hospital last week and when the cops came to ask them what happened they said guys in turtle costumes beat them up? Man I can’t swear on the radio but dang, that’s embarrassing. Anyways we got a classic up next, Smoke On The Water by Deep Purple!”
…
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zUwEIt9ez7M
Two robbers were creeping around an apartment as they turned on a radio to drown out the noise they could end up making in an accident.
“ Okay look, let’s man what we need and get out.”
“I know, YOU just make sure you’re quiet.”
“Why are we even doing this?”
“Look we owe ‘Fly money best we can do is get this stuff, pawn it and pay him back.”
The two men checked all over the apartment looking for valuables. Meanwhile Raph and Donnie were climbing up to the apartment fire escape after seeing the open window. Perfect time for an ambush.
“ Ready Don?”
“Yep.”
Meanwhile the two robbers had got all the valuables that they had needed, well, what they wanted and were heading out of the apartment.
“Okay we got what we came for, now let’s get-
The two stopped and dropped their bags as they saw Raph standing in front of the window whistling the opening riff to Smoke On The Water tossing his saki up and down.
“Sup?” The red bandanna turtle said smirking.
“What the hell is-
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile, yeah
Raph punched the first robber in the face and stomach, the second one tried kicking him in his shell but Raph slid out of the way causing the robber to hit his partner, Raph then headbutted the second robber and rushed over to start fist pummeling the first robber.
“HEY THAT’S MY PAL YOUR MESSING WITH JACKASS!”
The other bank robber reached for his gun only to be sent flying into a table, there were two thuds. One was the robber hitting the door and the other was Donnie landing on the floor and twirling his staff.
“And that’s my brother you're messing with…” said Don.
The robber still was holding his gun and saw Raph trying to knock the first robber out, he then proceeded to aim the gun at Raph and pulled the trigger, shooting him in his shoulder.
“OW! WHAT THE HELL?!”
Raph fell off the other robber and he quickly got up, but Raph used his other arm to stab him in the leg. Thus giving Donnie the time to drop kick the robber into a table. Donnie turned to face the robber again as he drew his handgun out, only for it to pull a Far-Cry 2 and jam.
“No no no why are you jamming now?!”
The robber tried unjamming his gun only to feel a hand hitting his neck and pressure point, causing him to fall unconscious. Raph looked over at the unconscious robber while holding his bleeding arm, it was hurting like hell due to the bullet.
“ God that hurts!”
Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky
(Smoke) on the water, you guys are great
“Okay let’s get them outside.” Donnie said looking back at Raph
“We? Do you have a bleeding arm? You’re the one taking them out.”
“C’mon it can’t hurt that bad.”
“Every time I move it there’s more blood coming out now get the fucking Lego city crooks outside right now!” Raph shouted, his eyes slightly twitching.
“Okay okay jeez!”
Donnie dragged the two robbers out of the apartment through the fire escape, once they got down they dragged them to the streets while Raph climbed down carefully with a towel wrapped around his arm from the apartment's bathroom, hopefully to absorb the blood.
“Hey April! We’re done here!” Donnie shouted towards the van.
April heard Raph and looked out the window seeing the two unconscious thieves, she then reached into her glove compartment and took out two pairs of handcuffs and got out of the car.
“Of course it had to be the old fashioned burglars.” April sighed.
“You say that like this is a normal thing.”
“Well I don’t think you noticed but Manhattan is basically Los Santos on a good day.” April said as she placed the handcuffs onto a lamp post and cuffed the two men.
“Okay let’s get out of here the cops should be here any minute.”
The three teens rushed back into the car and April sped away right before the cops came around the corner.
“Okay what’s next?”
“If we do another robbery can we not send me out? Maybe because I got a BULLET in my shoulder!”
“Okay man we get it! I got an emergency medkit back there, just try not to pass out! Leo, Mikey it’s your turn. Donnie you deal with Raph okay?”
“Why the hell do you got a medkit in a back of a van?!"
"My dad's van! And it's just in case.
For the next few minutes or so the turtles went around stopping crimes around Downtown Manhattan. Corner store robbery? Easy. Drug Deal? Simple. Now you may not know what went down but it was tough set of fights. Leo almost got stabbed, Raph almost got shot again, Mikey got thrown into one of those slot machines that be at gas stations. Yeah it was kinda hellish
….
The van rode down the streets as some 90’s r&b was playing, April was humming along to No Scrubs while the turtles were in the back and looked like they just got off of a Worldstar Hip Hop fight video.
“Soooooo guys, how was your first day at being vigilantes?” April asked, looking in the mirror at the turtles.
“Well besides almost getting shot at, it was…. Alright I guess.” Donnie said, as he flipped through his book.
“….THAT WAS AWESOME.” Mikey shouted.
“Never in my life, will I ever agree with Leo again.” Raph said as he lowered his bandana from his eyes and rubbed his face. He had an imprint of a small scar on his forehead that was from when their turtles were still kids.
“Oh come on Raph it took you so long to convince you to do this and now all of sudden you’re changing your mind AGAIN?” Asked Leo.
“Hey I didn’t expect to know, GET SHOT AT! I got a scar on my face now!” Raph shouted back, pointing at his bandaged shoulder.
“We definitely gotta get that checked out when we get home.” Donnie said.
“… oh my god Splinter’s gonna kill me .” Leo muttered.
“Well you don’t gotta worry Raph cause we are done for today. That was good enough.” April sighed as she looked down at the radio for a second.
As they were driving, the group passed by the parking lot of a warehouse, which seemed to be gated by fencing, however the gate to the entrance was open. They didn’t notice anyone weird however Donnie did, he looked up from his book and noticed a black van and 2 men getting out of it.
“April, stop the van and go back a little.”
“What?” April asked looking in the mirror of the Van and at Donnie.
“Back the van up, just do it.”
April shifted the van gear into reverse, lightly letting her foot off the gas pedal and the van moved back to the entrance of the dock before April stepped on the break, causing the tires to squeak.
“What is it?”
“You guys see that?” Donnie pointed to the black van in the distance at the lot.
“See what?” Leo asked, squinting his eyes to properly see.
“Those guys near that Van.” Donnie pointed out.
“C’mon man those could be dock workers stop being paranoid.” April said..
“Nope, I see ski masks and crowbars.”
“…shit.”
“Think they’re about to break into that warehouse?” Mikey asked.
“Yeah why else would they have a burglar starter pack?”
“What do we do?”
“Look I say we’ve done enough today, I’ve had enough of being shot at today let’s just head back home.” Raph said, having enough of crime fighting for the day.
“But we got a good Hour and a half left so we could just bust them and head back home.”
“Yeah we could be out in a minute.” Leo said.
“…Okay fine, let’s get this done with.” April sighed, she moved the gear shift into drive and turned the car into the empty parking lot outside of the warehouse, it didn’t look abandoned but it sure was empty. Mikey grabbed an empty soda can from the van's cupholder and he and got out of the van and stealthily made their way into the warehouse, sticking to the shadows as the thieves looked around.
"What are we looking for anyway?"
"That elevator Troy got himself stuck in."
"How the hell does a guy get stuck in an elevator? That's stupid as hell!"
"Look I was there when it happened. The elevator closed by itself I swear-
The thieves bantering was interrupted by the sound of a can hitting the ground.
“Who’s there-
The two robbers looked out rapidly before looking up, they dropped their crowbars as they saw Donnie sitting on a shelf and whistling.
“Hey blood.” Donnie said, wait was that a Colors reference?
“ What the?”
While the intruders just stared at Donnie confused as hell, Mikey snuck up on the two and bashed their heads together, the twos eyes widened before they fell to the ground unconscious.
“Well that was easy…” Donnie chuckled. "Okay guys they’re unconscious!” He shouted calling for the others to come in.
“Great, can we go now?” Raph asked.
"I don't know, maybe we should look around just in case they already stole something?"
"Weren't they just getting in here?"
"No, from what I heard they were just getting here. They were looking for an elevator." Donnie explained.
"Yeah, but why would an elevator be in a Warehouse of all places?" Mikey said/
"Hey did y'all see where Leo went?" April asked, looking around and seeing the leader nowhere to be found.
“Hey guys? You might wanna check this out!” Leo shouted.
“Oh what now?!”
Raph and the others went over to where Leo was standing at, and they were all greeted with.. An elevator?
“Wow, they got an elevator in this place?” April said, looking inside.
“A warehouse with an elevator inside of it…. Okay, doesn’t sound shady at all.” Donnie said.
“Okay guys, maybe this might be the time for us to get the hell out of here before we do some stupid shit.” Raph said.
“Raph what do you mean we’ve already made it this far why not check out what’s going on here?” Mikey argued.
“Mikey, when has there ever been a suspiciously placed elevator inside a building in a movie and it DOESN’T involve some shady stuff going on underground?!”
“….Okay you got a point but still!”
“Still? Look I don’t know if whatever is going on down there might be something world ending but I ain’t-
Raph stopped talking as he noticed Donnie and Leo entering the elevator.
“What the hell guys?!”
“Raph we’ll be out in like 8 minutes if we don’t find anything, we can just check out what’s down here and head out.” Leo responded.
“Leo we were supposed to be stopping break ins and shit not being in the next episode of BUZZFEED UNSOLVED!”
“Raph let’s just go down and see what shady shit they might have down there.” April said, sounding like she wanted to get this done quickly.
“But-you- okay fine let’s go walk into a possible death trap, fan-fucking-tastic.” Raph sighed, already knowing this wasn’t gonna end well.
Raph grumbled as he entered the elevator along with April and Mikey, Leo pressed a button on the elevator panel and the doors closed and they began to descend deep under the warehouse.
…..
The elevator went down as the squad just stood there in silence holding their weapons, Leo had his katana’s sheathed, Raph was twirling his Sai’s, Mikey was holding his nunchucks around his neck, Donnie had his staff against the wall and April had her dad’s revolver in her coat while on her phone…..
“April where did you get a gun from?”
“….Borrowed it from my dad.”
“ Borrowed? ”
“Okay I might’ve stolen it from his room but like what else could you expect there could be some Men In Black stuff going on down here!”
“April you’re as just a Film nerd as I am.” Donnie said.
“Hey maybe if we were going down here and there some dangerous shit, I gotta protect myself!”
“April we literally are armed with katanas, sais, staff with gadgets, and nunchucks, we can protect you.”
“See that’s the thing! Everyone I’ve met has told me to be careful when I can handle myself! I don’t need a Prince Charming to save me, I’m my own person.
“…”
“Gotta respect that.” Raph said.
“April no offense, but you sound a lot like those Mary S-
“Mikey if you call me a Mary Sue I’m gonna smack the shit out of you.” April retorted, taking compete offense to what Mikey was trying to say.
“I wasn’t saying you are one I’m just saying-
“I'm just gonna pretend you’re joking.”
Ding
“Finally.” Leo sighed.
The elevator opened up as April stuck her gun out? Slowly walking out with the turtles behind her holding their weapons….
“ What the hell?”
The teens stepped outside of the elevator and pretty much entered what appeared to be an underground science lab. There were Bunsen Burners, flasks, balancing scales and microscopes all on counters and shelves. There were even some things covered up in a tarp.
“What the?”
“Were those two guys drinking to break into here?” Raph muttered, kinda disappointed.
“A science lab? Really Donnie?”
“Hey I didn’t know- wait is that a rabbit that’s caged up over there?” April said pointing to a cage containing a rabbit.
“So, this a science lab or something?”
“How am I supposed to-
Right then the five of them froze as they heard the sound of a door ope
“Whoa- uhhhh you are- you’re turtles- and she’s got a gun, oh god-
“ Oh crap .” Mikey muttered.
“Sir, I am so sorry for breaking in me and my friends-
Leo was then rudely interrupted by Raph and April who went up to the scientist, Raph grabbed the scientist by his collar
“Raph what the hell man?!”
“Why the hell do you get a rabbit caged up huh man?”
“Raph what the hell man?!”
“I’m trying to get answers here!”
“Answers?! Raph we gotta get the hell outta here now!”
“Look Leo I’m willing to play Devil’s Advocate here cause this whole room is shady as hell!” April said, turning her head back to Leo.
“ Oh god. ”
“Dude let’s just look around while they’re busy Beating that guy up.”
“ I-It’s my job- I’m a v-v-vet! I’m a veterinarian!”
“Yeah well a Vet doesn’t have Bunsen burners in their office!” April said, calling the scientist's bs.
“Arpil can i punch him now?" Raph said looking towards April.
"Eh, you seem like you got this handled." April denied.
"I got an injured arm here!"
"WAIT! Y-You guys don't wanna do that! We won't like be happy with that!" The scientist said, now speaking in first person.
“We? Who the hell is we ?” Raph questioned.
“Us, my people. We’re everywhere.” The scientist said in a mix of laughter and nervous chuckling.
“… April you take over I’m gonna go talk with Mike.” Raph said as he dropped the scientist and walked towards Leo.
“Look man what the hell is going on?” April asked.
“I-I-I-Look I can’t say anything else or they-
“Who the hell are they man?! Why can’t you just be honest no one ain’t gonna hurt you!”
While April was pleading with the scientist and Raph was bantering with Mikey, Donnie and Leo were examining some of the things around the lab. Leo was looking at a group of tarps covering some boxes or whatever while Donnie was examining some of the viles and documents, he picked up some of the papers and began to read through them….. they all just sounded completely strange….
“ Mutagen ?”
Donnie laid his staff down as he took a look at the clipboards, they were in some weird language that he couldn’t understand. It was similar to Russian but not exactly like it, it was more extraterrestrial than human.
“The heck?”
While Donnie flipped through the pages on the clipboard, he didn’t notice his staff sliding to his right, near a set of glass beacons, by the time it started falling Donnie had finally noticed it falling.
“Oh crap-
Donnie quickly grabbed the staff as it hit one of the beacons causing it to fall to the ground, and literally a millisecond after….
BANG
The glass breaking and the arguing between Mikey and Raph startled April and she pulled the trigger on her dad’s gun and accidentally shot the scientist in his neck.
“SHIT!” April yelled, her face immediately going pale.
“What did you do?!” Raph shouted, looking over at the possible crime scene as the scientist slid down while choking on his blood.
“What did I do?! Donnie’s the one who broke something!” April yelled back.
“Maybe we should be worried about the guy that’s BLEEDING OUT?!?!” Donnie shouted frantically pointing at the bleeding scientist.
“Shit! Come on stay with us don’t go into the light STAY ALIVE!” April pleaded, trying to put pressure on the gun wound, but it’s hard to stay alive when you get shot in the neck….. After a few seconds his eyes started to roll up and he stopped breathing.
“Oh crap this dude’s dead.” April muttered, checking the scientist’s pulse and realizing what she had just done.
“Dead?!” Donnie said, completely horrified now realizing what just happened.
“Okay look we don’t have any time for negativity just give me some god damn wet naps, or paper towels HELL ANYTHING!!”
“WET NAPS?!” Raph blurted out, genuinely baffled that everyone was being this stupid.
While everyone was panicking trying to figure out what to do with the dead guy, Leo finally got the guts to uncover the tarp to see whatever was under it. He expected it to be something normal like boxes or containers…. He was somewhat right……
“Leo come on we need to-
Raph stopped as he saw what Leo was looking at…..
“Is that?”
Right then April, Donnie and Mikey rushed up behind the two brothers ready to get the hell out of the lab.
“Hey you two we need to get the hell out of her now before-
And just like Leo and Raph, all three of them stopped when they realized what they were looking at. In front of them were 5 crates, 3 of with were empty and two were holding 10 glass canisters containing green ooze, next to it was a computer with an entire mapping of New York City, there was text on the top of the computer in all red that said
Lost Canisters Of Mutagen Retrieved: 20/50
“Is that, is that the ooze that turned your dad into a rat?” April asked.
“Y-Yeah it looks exactly like it but how-
“Uh guys?” Mikey said, looking behind the group.
“But I thought it was just that canister that mutated us?”
“Well how do you explain the overgrown cat with a eyepatch we saw last Friday then?!” Raph shouted.
“Okay you’re right guys it’s time to go we’ve seen too much…” Leo said, covering up the crate.
“Guys?!”
“What is Mike- what the fuck?”
The group turned around and saw the scientist that April had shot was standing up…… However his eyes were completely yellow and bloodshot.
“How… How is he alive?”
“Look man I’m sorry for shooting but hey at least you’re alive- Wait what’s up with his arm?”
The scientist's arm turned into this pink mess of a tentacles, before his whole body just turned in this monstrosity straight out of a Lovecraftian story.
“ What the hell-
April was suddenly grabbed by the scientist and slammed against a wall
“EW JESUS CHRIST WHAT THE HELL!?”
“HOLY SHIT!”
“HOW IS HE STILL ALIVE?!”
“HEY HELP ME OUT HERE!?” April shouted before the scientist threw her across the room and onto a table with a bunch of papers all over it.
“GUYS QUICK!”
Leo took out his katana rushing up behind the scientist and to get the hardest slap in the face ever that it sent Leo into the ground. Raph quickly went to help Leo up as Mikey and Donnie tried to attack the scientist but it was like hitting a doll cause they weren't doing shit.
"Why can't we land a hit on this guy?!"
BANG BANG BANG
The four quickly ducked as they heard the gunshots coming toward them, they then heard the sound of footsteps going all over the place before something hit the ground, making a loud thud.
“ What the? ”
“ We’re alive?”
The turtles looked up and saw the scientist or…. Alien, they saw the alien lying in the floor with pink blood leaking out of its head, there was a giant hole on the left of its head that was caused by gunshots, Leo looked around as saw April breathing heavily as she pulled herself up on the table and putting away her dad’s revolver, she had a small cut on her face caused by the glass and probably all over her.
“H-Holy shit..”
“I-Is it dead?” Mikey asked.
“I don’t know…. Hey, can one of you use your weapons to check?”
“Hell no/ Nope/ Nuh uh.”
“what- okay fine I’ll do it.” Leo recurrently said after hearing his brothers’ responses. He slowly poked his sword against the…. Thing’s body, it only twitched slightly.
“It’s dead.”
“….Okay now can we get the hell out of here before security shows up?” April asked.
“Yeah/Oh so now you wanna leave?!/ let’s go/ hell yes.”
The gang headed straight for the elevator, April began pressing pretty much every button on the panel so it would open.
“April are you trying to break it?!”
“Hey if you didn’t notice I just shot an alien so I wanna get out before-
Right then the elevator door opened up and three men wearing all black(like the men in black) and holding shock rifles exited the elevator, being greeted by the turtles and April.
“Oh hiiiiiiiii, so listen…..”
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NR0UmZcf89E
The men looked around the lab, seeing the mutagen canisters and computer tracking how many files were recovered had been uncovered, then the dead scientist or alien on the floor and back at the turtles and April.
When you were young and your heart
Was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did)
(You know you did)
(You know you did)
“Look, we can explain. You see-
“Neutralize the intruders, make sure no one else is inside.”
“….Oh.”
Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
The men aimed their shock rifles at the five and began charging up their shots. April looked over at the counter and saw a set of viles and quickly picked them up and threw them at the guards.
“RUN!”
“SEIZE THE INTRUDERS.”
“SOUND THE ALARMS.
The guards began firing their weapons as the group rushed out of the lab nearly getting shot through the stomach and running deeper into the facility. It was like the chase scene in an episode of Scooby Doo.
“What the hell is this place?!”
“Less talking MORE RUNNING!!!”
The gang kept running down a bunch of halls and ducked into a random room to hide, Mikey slammed the door shut as the five teens got down and covered their mouths in the pitch black. Footsteps could be heard right outside the door, even getting closer to the door. Everyone could almost hear each others heartbeats with how quiet it was, one cough or phone ring and everything could go to shit.
"We lost them, keep searching!"
The footsteps moved away from the door and everyone sighed, April took her phone out to use as a flashlight so they could
"Someone search for a light switch."
"Why did we choose a room downs
"Found a switch!"
The room was then lit once Leo turned the lights on, turns out they were in a broom closet.
"...Wow..."
April slowly pushed the door open to see if the coast was
"Okay let's fine were we came from and get the hell out of here." April said.
"Yep/ Got it/ Should've done it in the first place."
The teens walked down the corridors of the lab in search for an exit however they LITERALLLY went in the opposite direction that they had came from, a few minutes passed and it seemed like they were going deeper and deeper into the place. Almost like they were completely lost, which they were by the way.
"Where did we even come from?" Mikey asked.
"Don't know, we were running for so long..."
They kept walking and soon found themselves in a cell block, however didn't take notice of the cells yet.
"You know this is all your fault Donnie." Raph grumbled looking at his brother
"How is it my fault-
"Guys stay quiet! We don't need to have them know where we are-
April stopped halfway through her sentence and turned around and saw Mikey staring at something.
"Mikey why the hell are you just standing-
April walked up to Mikey to see what he was staring at, she was greeted with a glass barrier. Behind it was a cell with a bed, TV and a small desk with a notepad on it. On the bed was a person in a orange jumpsuit like a prisoner, however it wasn't an actual person. They had a green scaley tail along with their arms being covered in scales as well, it was a lizard, better yet, a lizard mutant.
“What the hell?”
April turned around and was greeted with another cell. This time there was an elephant in their cell doing pull ups.
"Guys are you looking at this?" April asked.
"Yeah.... This is fucked man..." Raph said, there was a hint of anger in his voice.
“Are these all…. Mutants?" Leo said, putting his hand on one of the barriers.
"Looks like it." Donnie responded.
They slowly walked down the cell block, looking at all the mutants held inside of the cells, one was tossing a ball back and forth, one was writing in a makeshift notebook, another was writing down the days they've been imprisoned on a wall with a knife.
“Jesus."
While they were walking, they stopped by a cell holding a shark with tattoos on his arm hitting the back his head against the wall of his cell out of sheer boredom. He saw the turtles and April staring at him and his expression changed quickly.
"Uh.... Hi?" Leo said awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
“…Get out.”
“What?”
“GET OUT! GET OUT !!!” The shark screamed, getting up and pretty much banging on the glass, he went from emotionless to horrified in seconds
“ DUDE BE QUIET WE’RE TRYING TO ESCAPE!”
“ Can he even hear us?”
“GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE BEFORE YOU’RE NEXT!” It was like he was ignoring the turtles and speaking directing to April, matter of fact, he WAS speaking to April.
“HEY CALM DOWN WE’LL TRY TO BREAK YOU OUT!”
"I'M TRYING TO HELP YOU! GET THE HELL OUT!"
"Oh shit- You- Hey you guys need to get the fuck out of here RIGHT NOW!"
"Guys, maybe we should just listen and get-
Suddenly the light turned red throughout the hallway, footsteps could be heard all over as the teens turned to the
“There they are!”
“Seize them! Prime wants them brought in!”
“Well guess we gotta fight our way out then!” Mikey said taking out his nunchucks.
“Yeahhhh I don’t think we can do that, at all.” Leo said, looking behind them.
“What are you-
Raph turned around to see what Leo and April we’re looking at only to be greeted by more guards aiming shock rifles at the 5 teens, they were outnumbered and the only one that had a proper weapon was April(which she had a GUN) so there was no way they could win this.
“…Damn it.”
…
The group was now being taken to some place deeper in the base, pacing through a hallway of cell blocks. They had cuffs around their hands preventing them from grabbing their weapons at
“Guys, just for the record, I take full responsibility for making us go down here.”
“ Mikey, just…. Just stop.” Raph grumbled.
“ Hey I’m trying to apologize!” whispered Mikey.
“ Hey look none of this would’ve happened if we went home but no! Donnie had to be curious and now we’re probably discovered some underground Area 51 base!”
“Isn’t Area 51 in Nevada?”
"Guys stop arguing! Maybe we can find a way out of this."
"Yeah right."
While everyone besides Leo were arguing, they were taken into this giant ass throne room out of a space station, there were computers and monitors all over the room that were watching over buildings and streets all over New York, there was even a satellite radar on the side. Above them all was this balcony leading into a room.
"Well they got the supervillian layer down." Raph mumbled.
“Lord Prime, we have captured the intruders.” One of the guards said as 4 of the men kicked the turtles in the back of their legs causing them to kneel down, April did the smart thing and went ahead and kneeled so she wouldn’t get hit.
“ Lord? ”
“ Yeah this is definitely Area 51…..” April thought to herself.
“Hey watch it pal!” Raph shouted.
“Raph You’re making this worse.” Leo whispered.
“Well what do we HAVE here, never in these past centuries did I expect someone to find one of my bases and make it this far! You kids are pretty impressive, and stupid.”
A middle aged man in an open lab coat with green hair and yellow eyes appeared on a balcony above them all, he looked like a burnt cigarette that got ran over multiple times, he cracked his wrists and neck as he looked down at everyone.
“….Is that fucking Beetlejuice? ” April whispered.
"So, we got four turtles and a teenage human that broke in huh? Was expecting some pranksters." Prime chuckled, his yellow eyes staring into the five teen's souls.
"Why do you look like... a Hipster?" Mikey asked.
Raph started to giggle and burst out laughing from what Mikey had just asked.
"Oh my god we're so dead." Leo mumbled.
"Yeah he does look like Rick Sanchez if he dyed his hair." Donnie chimed in.
"Yeah, real funny. Would you guys prefer it if i had looked like this?"
The scientist's body started twitching, parts of him started to crack and warp within the matter of seconds, afterwards a loud inhuman screech echoed through the room. What once was a human standing above them was this pink and purple eldritch like creature. It looked more like a giant octopus with a brain, tentacles and everything. He looked completely different compared to the lab worker's form they saw earlier.
"WANT ME TO LOOK LIKE THIS INSTEAD?!"
“NOPE KEEP IT LIKE BEFORE!” April shouted in disgust.
“YEAH THE SCIENTIST THING WORKS! STAY LIKE THAT!” Raph yelled, looking away.
The thing saw everyone's fear in their face at his true form, he laughed before slowly morphing back into his human form, however his left arm stayed a tentacle slowly morphing back.
"God i forgot i just took this body over recently."
“W-Who are you guys?” Donnie asked.
“Don’t know, who’s asking?” Prime responded smugly.
“Well you’re obviously planning on doing something to us so you at least owe us an explanation.” Donnie continued.
“Wellllllllll sure but, what’s in it for me?”
“JUST TELL US!” Raph shouted, only to get hit with the back of one of the guard's shock rifle. "Ow!"
“…Yeah you’re right.”
“So to make a long story short of war, war crimes and exiling that would bore you to death. We are The Krang. A prestige group of, what you humans call , extraterrestrials or aliens that have been around since the dawn of man when Dinosaurs roamed the Earth, well we weren’t on Earth by then but you get the point. As you can see, I'm their Prime Leader, Fast forward a few centuries over in space, we had been a respected and most of all, FEARED group of scientists, and it was like that for a good while. And then the others came along, and blah blah blah I don’t wanna bore you guys with the details but after around the 13th century for you guys, the entire Galaxy considered our methods of science to be unethical , and then… We found Earth.”
The look on everyone's face turned sour as they realized where this could be heading.
“So after some pleading and a little bit of lying, we finally managed to land an operation on Earth….. We managed to survive underground for centuries, in every war and major disease that riddled the planet, we survived. And hey we were pretty lucky!”
“ Uh huh…. ”
“Question, what do you guys even specialize on your experiments?” Donnie asked, hoping the answer wasn’t as bad as he was thinking.
“Well, we did start using plants a TV first but that backfired. Then we started in animals during the 1500’s, that was going well. Then in the end of the 1800’s, I got an idea. What if we start using humans as hosts while also using them AND animals for experiments as well!”
“…oh…… that’s pretty…. Pretty bad…”
“Wait, how do you even manage to do all this stuff?!” Raph asked while still comprehending all of this.
“Well, you see it’s all thanks to a little substance I like to call….. Mutagen.”
Prime then took out a small vial of mutagen that was hanging on a necklace.
“You see, Mutagen is able to perform lots of reverse engineering on the DNA of any living and breathing organism and can rewrite every living molecule to be reborn as something… new…. Something mythical, something, out of pure fucking madness.”
“And hey! Guess you guys got lucky! Cause I really don’t remember finding any turtles for subjects. But there was a snapping turtle we found recently.”
“Snapping Turtle?” Leo asked.
While Krang Prime was basically gloating his ego, Donnie started to wonder, now they were caught what was gonna happen?
“So, what’s going to happen now?” Donnie asked.
“Come again?”
“I mean what are you gonna do to us? ”
“Ohhhhhhh, so here’s the situation. You see, I can’t have you guys going off and telling everyone about our location and that. So I’m afraid I’m gonna have to, you know…..”
“What?”
“…Silence you guys permanently.”
“What!?”
“Hey don’t take this wrong nothing about this is personal but last time our base was found out and we didn’t do anything we had to move across the country! Honestly it wasn’t that bad of a move because there’s NOTHING interesting about Oregan! Yeah they had a cartoon set in it big fucking whoop!”
“So you’re basically gonna kill us?!”
“Well, not all of you.”
“…Sorry what?”
“Killing a human would be a waste so we’re gonna use your friend there for our next set of experiments! So it’s a Win-Win for us! We silenced you guys and we got a new test subject! Anyways, take her to the cells."
Suddenly two of the guards behind April and grabbed her and began to drag her away
“HEY GET OFF ME ASSHOLES!” April shouted as she was dragged away.
“ARE YOU CRAZY?!”
“I’m not CRAZY kid! I’m just enthusiastic.” Prime said, sorta losing his cool for a second before he went back to normal before turning away
"I'm sure you'd love to hear more about me but i got things to do and operations to plan so it was nice meeting you for this short time, maybe you'll be lucky in your next life." Prime chuckled as he turned around heading out of sight.
"Do we kill them now?"
"Yeah shoot them down."
The guard soldier turned to the other 2 guards and nodded, they aimed the three rifles at Raph first who was absolutely LIVID.
"You pieces of SHIT!"
Raph lunged back against one of the guards causing them to fall to the ground, Leo took Raph's advice and managed to sweep the second guard's legs and Mikey and Donnie sprung up to help Raph as well by attacking the second guard
"HOLD THEM DOWN-
Leo jump onto one of the guards who had their rifle aimed at Mikey and wrapped his cuffs around their neck "No Country For Old Men" style, Leo wasn't for violence but when it came to his brothers he had basically set himself to auto-pilot mode so he could get them out of the situation. Splinter taught him that if they were in a situation that could end terribly, make sure that they get out no matter way, retreat to live another day. The chain on the cuffs started to cut through the guards neck causing blood to appear. Unlike the scientist from earlier, this one seemed to stop trying to fight back as if Leo had got the upper hand. Soon he stopped moving all together. Leo looked away as he pushed guard off of him looking at his now bloody wrists.
"Oh god." Leo stared at his hands, the first time he went out on the surface he cut a guys hand off and this time he had just killed a living being, or an alien, or maybe he wasn't human at all. Everything had start to blur and Leo's hearing just turned into ringing.
"Leo... Leo..... LEO!"
Leo snapped out of his trance and looked over towards his brothers, already freeing themselves with a set of keys from one of the guards, who by the way were laid flat out on the ground.
"Look it was him or us!"
"Are you guys completely ignoring how i probably just killed an ACTUAL PERSON and not an alien?!"
"Leo you cut a guys hand off last week and sent people to the hospital now is not the time to have a crisis!" Raph shouted as he tossed Leo the keys to his cuffs, Leo quickly caught them and uncuffed himself before backing away from the dead guard.
"New plan, let's find April and get the hell out of here got it?"
"Got it." Mikey and Donnie said, Leo was still kinda comprehending what he just did but nodded so they knew he was listening."
"And let's hope to god we make it home in time." Raph muttered, Leo wasn't in his right mind so he had to take charge for now
The turtles nodded as they quickly rushed out of the room and back into the lab. While they did that, Prime was in his quarters/throne room, growing suspicious of the lack of faint gunshots.
"Hey I don't hear any screams or anything you guys done with them?"
Prime got up from his war room desk and walked back out to observe the ground floor, only to be greeted with 2 unconscious guards and 1 dead guard lying on the floor.
"...Ohhhhhh you gotta be kidding me."
....
The turtles ran around the lab ducking behind corners, going in and out of the shadows as they moved around the hallways making sure to stay out of the cameras. They never should have come here or even came into the warehouse but hey, things can't always go as planned huh, that's just life you know.
"Where are the cells at?!"
"I don't know!"
"Guys quiet down do you want them to find us?!"
"Not helping Lee!"
The four's arguing got interrupted by the sound of an intercom going off through the entire lab, it sounded like the Arkham Asylum jingle but more menacing.
"Attention ALL soldiers and scientists, so turns out those 4 turtles managed to avoid execution and are somewhere in the facility. If you manage to find them if they haven't escaped, I will promote you to the rank of General, no matter if you're a soldier or scientist. Oh, and don't bother using the shock rifles, lethal force is authorized if necessary. Other than that, happy hunting!"
"Oh come on!"
Beep
The turtles were quickly interrupted by the sound of something beeping, they made like bees and hide on top of the ceiling as they saw two security guards and a scientist walk out of a room, one of the guards was wearing a medical cast around his arm. The other guard inputted a password into a keypad to lock the door, Donnie made sure to pay close attention to it while Raph was hanging onto the ceiling for his life since his shoulder was still injured.
"I tried to tell Prime we should install new security measures." One of the guards said as the door locked.
"I mean he is kinda arrogant for a leader, or... What do those smart humans say... Sociopathic? Yeah he's a big sociopath compared to Utrom Prime." The other guard said.
"Hey you know he technically is our boss right?" The scientist asked.
"Screw him it's not like he can hear us." The guard chuckled as they all walked off deeper into the facility. After a few more seconds of waiting Raph jumped down without a second thought, the other turtles got down soon after.
"Hey Don, try getting us into that room."
"On it." Donnie said heading over to the door's keypad and putting in the passcode "505503" in. A Beep surfaced and the light above the door turned green as Donnie opened the door and the turtles entered the room. They were then greeted by a room full of security cameras all over the laboratory.
"Lucky us."
"Hey check the cameras to see where the cells are, they had to have taken April there!"
Leo rushed up to the camera and began flipping through feed. One of the cameras showed a testing room where scientists were scientists were setting up a treadmill, on another camera there were two scientists fighting over a spot in a refridgerator and on another there were people in their true forms playing a game of cards, not giving a care in the world for what was going on. The next camera Leo looked on was the cell block, each of the cells had their own cameras, luckily, April was in one of the cells and lying on the floor out of boredom.
"Found her!" Leo shouted.
"Hey guys i found some circuit breakers!" Donnie responded on the other side of the room.
"Find one for the jail cells and make it quick!" Raph shouted.
Donnie began looking through and every breaker till he found one labeled "Holding Cells", he opened it up and saw a panal of switches that seemed to be screwed on, there had to have been something behind it. Donnie beginning to unscrew it to try and remove the cover.
"Guys this could be connecting to the cells so maybe-
The moment Donnie took off the cover, he was greeted with a whole bunch of wires connecting to different outlets. He just stared trying to figure out which one connects to what and if he picked the wrong one what would happen to them.
"Donnie hurry up before someone comes in!" Raph shouted, peaking out the door every few seconds.
"Uh-Uhhhhh- You know what screw this."
Donnie was smart but there was no way in hell he was about to solve this when their lives were at stake, he quickly ripped out the wires connecting to the cells and looked over at the security footage of the jail cells, he crossed his fingers hoping something was about to happen. After 10 more seconds all of the cell barriers seemed to lower.
"Alright the cells are open go go go!"
Meanwhile, April had been starting at the ceiling of her cell for the past 10 minutes since her phone has no service. The cell she was in was cold and had a small tv connected in the corner, this really felt like an actual jail cell.
"Kill me now..."
April closed her eyes to try and sleep but suddenly there was chatter out of nowhere
"What the?"
April leaned up as she saw the glass barrier in front of her cell has risen, and so did the barriers around the other cells. The mutants being held inside quickly got up and slowly checked outside seeing the halls being empty before red lights started flashing.
"SCATTER!"
One of the mutants shouted to the other prisoners before they all began to run away in multiple directions, April stepped out of her cell and immediately was greeted with chaos, turns out being trapped in a prison probably having experiments being run on you or being turned into a sleeper agent gives you some advantages, like began able to beat the living SHIT out of the guards coming towards the cells.
"damn-DAMN!" April quietly commented as she saw some of the prisoners jump a guard. She felt like she needed to go find the turtles so she began to run away from the cells only to almost bump into Leo and the rest of the turtles.
"April!"
"Yeah yeah you saved me glad I'm okay- can we just get the hell out of here already?!"
"You think they'll be okay?"
The group noticed a pair of guards rushing behind them, only to see them being knocked over by a giant snapping turtle. The turtle grabbed two of the guards and began to throw them around, like thrown into walls, thrown into the ground, EVERYWHERE.
"...Yeah they'll be fine."
They quickly rushed the other way from the cells and probably a floor up into the lab, lights were blaring everywhere and things were going FUBAR real fast, all because Donnie freed every prisoner. However there were so many halls that it felt like they were going through an escape room..
"Shit this place is like a labyrinth!"
"Are we going in circles?"
"Hey at least we aren't getting chased by space octopuses or whatever the hell these guys are!" April shouted.
After another minute of running, Raph stopped as they all ran past an open door leading into a lab, that said Lab was where they had all started and where the elevator was, however the body of the dead alien was gone.
"Guys come back i found the elevator!" Raph shouted to the others as they quickly came to a halt and ran back towards Raph.
"Alright quick get the hell in go go go!" April commanded.
As everyone rushed into the lab and towards the elevator, Raph slammed the door before quickly pushing a table against it with all his strength but it slowed them down even more.
“RAPH HURRY UP!”
“I KNOW OKAY?!”
Raph pushed the table against the door before he rushed to the elevator, however he stopped midway and saw the mutagen canisters, quickly rushing over and grabbing one.
“RAPH!”
“I’M COMING!”
Raph yanked the canister out of the container before he turned and saw guards trying to break down the door, he didn’t waste no more time and rushed into the elevator, shoving the mutagen canister in Donnie's hands.
“Why are you taking this?!” Donnie shouted?!
“Thank me later when we find out about it!”
Raph began rapidly pressing buttons on the elevator trying to move up to any floor saw the door being kicked open with enough force to move the table out of the way
“MOVE OUT THE WAY!”
Prime shoved a guard aside getting inside of the room as his left arm morphed into a tentacle, he reached for the elevator to grab one of the turtles, only for the elevator close in time and sever Prime’s arm/tentacle. In the elevator the tentacle fell to the ground and quickly morphed back to a regular arm. From the outside April and the turtles could her
“….What the FUCK?!” Raph shouted.
“Oh god I’m gonna be sick.”
“Yep I’m definitely traumatized.” Donnie said as his eyes slightly widened.
“SHIT!”
Prime banged his left on the elevator door, pissed off that his secret operation he’s been running for years just got uncovered by some teenagers, and he failed to silence those Teenagers as well. He looked back at his right arm as he saw it was slowly regenerating like it usually would do if a Kraang’s body part was severed. Prime grimaced before he turned back to the guards, hiding how pissed he was extremely well.
“Get me a damage report right now.”

Daylight
I wake up feeling like you won't play right
I used to know, but now that shit don't feel right
It made me put away my pride
“….”
“…”
“….”
“….”
No one said a word during the ride back up to surface, everyone was just wondering what the hell had just happened. April shot a scientist who turned out to be this venom symbiote brain alien and it almost killed her. They got chased down by soldiers being possessed by said aliens, their leader is possessing someone who looks like a mix of Christian Slater and Kurt Russel almost killed them and was gonna use April for experiments?
“…Okay…. What the fuck was that?”
“I don’t know, and I don’t wanna find out again.”
“Did we… actually just into some ancient alien base or something? That all had to be alien technology!”
“Yeah no shit!”
“So, not only we learned aliens are real. But these guys are kidnapping people and turning them into mutants against their will.”
“This feels like…. Like a modern day version of The Thing?”
“What?” Leo asked, kinda confused of what April was trying to say.
“I was using a movie as a Metaphor.” Sighed April, just tired about everything that happened in general.
“You know if you’re gonna use a reference as a metaphor you need to be more clear.”
“I literally-You guys were sheltered all your life yet Donnie knows a lot about movies so what’s the excuse for you three?” April rebutted.
“Well-
“Yeah that’s right.” April scoffed before turning back to the side.
“Jesus.”
“You guys think those mutants escaped?”
“Who cares the only thing that matters is we’re alive and April isn’t getting turned into Frankenstein, matter of fact we wouldn’t have been in that situation if she HADN’T SHOT THAT GUY!”
If you want it, yeah
You can have it, oh, oh, oh
The elevator stopped as the door opened and the group exited back into the warehouse… Their first thought was to head back out to the door but they heard the sounds of police radios nearby.
“ Oh shit someone called the cops!”
“How do we get out of here?!”
“ There’s a exit over there!” Mikey whispered pointing to a back door in the corner of the warehouse.
“Quick let’s get the fuck out of here!” April commanded as everyone besides Leo quickly rushed out
“Well what about-
But stay woke (stay woke)
They be creepin' (they be creepin')
They gon' find you (they gon' find you)
Leo looked back at the elevator to see if it was still there but when he was behind him, the elevator was gone.
“ What?”
“LEO WE’RE LITERALLY ABOUT TO LEAVE YOUR ASS HURRY UP OR YOU’RE WALKING HOME!”
“OKAY OKAY!"
Leo quickly got himself back together and rushed out before the cops came inside, after a minute of waiting inside of the van, April quickly turned it on and slowly pulled out of the driveway, before speeding off once they were out of sight
"You think they'll follow us?"
"Who knows but we ain't staying there that's for sure!"
"Hey, what if those guys put a tracker on us?"
"Oh shit you're right, pat yourselves down real quick."
After hearing that, the turtles quickly patted themselves down to see if there were any trackers on them or their shells but luckily there weren't.
"Nope, no trackers." Mikey said giving a thumbs up.
"Oh thank god." April sighed
"We got like... 20 minutes left to be home..." Donnie said looked over at the van's touch screen and checking the time.
"So... All if favor of taking another break and hoping to god we never see those guys again?"
"Aye."
...
“Breaking News! Police have apprehended 5 people tonight who were tied to lampposts, claiming that 4 people in turtle costumes beat them up.”
Over in an apartment complex near Tribeca, a man entered the apartment lobby fixing his hair and jacket before looking over to the front desk and seeing the attendant was asleep as a news report played on an Old School portable tv.
“So those freaks are famous now huh…”
The man past the desk and up a
"Hey Eddie rent's due tomorrow-
The man quickly took out an envelope containing some money and handed it to the landlord.
"Don't have to tell me Bobby." The man said as he headed into his room, once he got in he locked the door along with the deadbolt.
“Those kids might actually be a threat to our plans if they pull something like that again….”
The man entered his bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, guess who the man is? It was Prime himself. He chuckled at the thought of 4 mutant turtles and a human were able to sneak into his base and managed to get out alive, along with some mutants managing to escape during the whole scenario.
But stay woke (ooh)
They be creepin' (they gon' find you)
They gon' find you
Gon' catch you sleepin', ooh (gon' catch you)
“Guess it’s my fault for wasting time even talking to them…. And this makes them the first people to escape one of my facilities…..”
The alien laughed to himself before he punched the bathroom mirror, causing him to cut his hand on the broken glass from the impact of the punch.
“GHA- DAMN IT I FORGOT HOW FRAGILE THESE BODIES ARE!”
Oh, how'd it get so scandalous?
Oh, oh, how'd it get
How'd it get
How'd it get so scandalous?
How'd it get so scandalous?
He shook his hand seeing some pink blood coming out of his from the glass cutting the hand, before small tentacles came out from the cut and slowly healed the cut causing the blood to lessen and sewed up the wound by itself. Prime smirked as he looked back at the broken window and put some of the pieces back together.
But stay woke
“Don’t need to worry though…..”
“Cause I’ll find them sooner or later.”
Prime began to chuckle, those chuckles then turned into maniacal laughter. The turtles and April managed to piss off the wrong psychopath.
But stay woke
To Be Continued
