A/N: What if you included even more turtles in the hit tmnt movie, TMNT:Turtles Forever? This isn't an X Reader fic and takes places in the 2012 universe...well, for the start at least.
"Donnie, what's happening!" Leo bellowed out, lunging forward to take down a Kraang bot. His blades sliced threw the alien metal with ease before he kicked the slimy brain into next week. Another bot launched at him, luckily the leader in blue was able to duck away in time. Leo grabbed the Kraang's head, kneeing him in the face, "Donnie!" he was becoming irritated.
Donnie's fingers worked magic along the alien keyboard, though most of it was guesswork when it came to this sort of technology. Donnie grounded his teeth together, sweat pooling along the edges of his purple bandana, "Yes, I can hear you, y'know!" he snarled out, clearly under a lot of pressure.
In the next second a bunch of files illuminated the giant monitor, a huge grin appearing on the tech wiz's face, "Aha! Yes, I got it!" he cheered. Though now began the tedious task of going through every file and finding the Kraang's true plan.
"Less talking and more fighting!" Raph growled out, ramming the pointed tip of his sai into the unsuspecting head of a Kraang droid. He tore the head from its body with a vicious war cry, though Mikey just assumed it was a generic yell. Speaking of which, the youngest brother was slinking around the room; jumping from one bot to another.
Though his energy wasn't particularly the same as usual, no, he wasn't so fully invested in the fight as any other day. Mikey landed on the shoulders of a Kraang bot, trying to pilot him around like he was wearing a mech suit, "I still can't believe we're missing Halloween for this." he grumbled, most definitely sour.
Leo sliced the legs of the bot Mikey was riding, watching him wobble before tucking into a forward roll and landing haphazardly onto the floor, "We can celebrate Halloween tomorrow, Mikey." he compromised. The young teen still moped around, crossing his arms along his chest, "It's not the same though, this is the one day of the year where we're not freaks...and we're MISSING it!"
"Mikey, do you really think some dumb holiday is more important than stopping the Kraang?" Raph argued, plucking another head off of his sai; he hated when they got stuck. Mikey didn't even get a chance to open his mouth before a loud and whiney scream interrupted the group. Donnie's body came flying over to them, taking Raph out as punishment for his sins.
The two remaining brothers looked over at them in shock, "Donnie, what happened?" Leo questioned, lightly shaking his brother awake. Donnie waited until his eyes stopped spinning and the room was no longer a pretty shade of yellow, "Ugh, my head feels like an exploding hotdog." he groaned out.
"MMmm, hotdogs..." Mikey's stomach rumbled, "I know Mikey Jr, I know." he sympathised with his belly's cries for food. Raph released a sound halfway between a groan and a growl, but he soon shoved Donnie's body off of him. "Get off of me, Donnie!"
"What happened up there? Were you able to get any intel?" Leo continued to interrogate the poor genius. Donnie shook his head, "I was in the middle of it when-"
"When what?" Leo asked, confused. Donnie's eyes widened, he pointed a finger to the second floor where a huge robot stood, "I bumped into him." Donnie's voice got smaller as he spoke. The group stared with wide eyes and slacked jaws as the huge robot bashed its fists together, menacing pink eyes glaring into their souls.
"He seems...nice?" Mikey whispered out, his head shrinking further and further into his shell. Raph shook his head, gripping his sais a little tighter than before, "I've seen bigger." he smirked. Leo shook his head, "Don't get cocky, Raph. We've never seen the Kraang use something like this before, we don't know what it's capable of."
"Well it doesn't know what I'm capable of either." the red-banded turtle beamed, charging at the giant robot. Leo groaned, "Raph- you can't just- Raph!" he darted off after his sibling, dodging laser fire and swinging fists. Donnie and Mikey shared a similar look before Mikey shrugged his shoulders and joined the fight.
Donnie, however, decided on a different approach. The lanky turtle crept around the moving robotic bodies, avoiding their gaze as he drove to find any available computer. With a little luck, he managed to find one with very few guards, but he soon took those out.
"Now if I can just figure out what the Kraang are up to, maybe I could put a stop to it right now." he mumbled to himself, his tongue sticking out as a sign of full concentration. Donatello continued to tamper and peek into folders and unnamed documents, eventually finding a plan for a portal of some kind.
But in a language he had no way of deciphering here, there wasn't much use for the plans. Growing irritated that all his attempts so far seemed futile, Donnie pounded a fist against the motherboard beneath him. The machine sizzled and sparked, the keys becoming hot on his fingers, scorching the very tip of his skin.
Pulling back with a yelp, Donnie watched as a jet of bright pink light shot from the control panel he was at all the way along the walls and across the ceiling until it pinged against a large metallic structure on the other side of the room.
"Uh oh."
"Do you dudes smell burning?" Mikey questioned, sniffing the air a little more. Raph was holding his own up against the robot, using his sais as a barricade as he pushed away the robot's foot; moments from crushing him.
"Mikey, this is no time to be thinking about pizza!" he huffed out, a little out of breath. Mikey cringed at the thought, his stomach going ten to a dozen, "No, it's not that!" he whined. Leo slashed one of the many casualties from this night, shifting to stand beside Mikey, "Hang on, I think he's onto something."
"Ugh, not you too." Raph cried out, rolling away from the metal fist that just narrowly missed his face. Leo grabbed Raph by the shell as he ran past, jostling the poor teen, "Smell." was all he said. Raph rolled his eyes but reluctantly agreed, "Huh, what do you know? Mikey was right about something."
"I heard that." Mikey pouted. The next thing the brothers knew the burning smell grew and grew until they could physically see smoke coming from a huge metal doorway. With a flickering light, the doorway seemed to explode with colour, turning from pink to purple to the most enchanting shade of green then ending with a sky blue.
Its swirling gaze was hypnotic.
Donnie rushed back to the group, his mind buzzing, "Guys! Guys! You are not going to believe what just happened-" he looked up at the swirling portal, "Nevermind, I see you're all caught up." he gulped. Leo turned to Donnie with a frown, "What did you do?" he sassed.
"Me? You think I somehow did this?" Donnie pointed an accusing finger at himself, more so out of disbelief than acceptance of blame. Leo shrugged his arms, letting his katanas hang in a looser grip, "Well you were the one messing with it."
Alas, Donnie couldn't continue any further for something was causing the portal to ripple. Any remaining Kraang bots that were beside the portal were perched and awaiting with guns held high. Seems as though they too weren't expecting this.
The room went eerily quiet, there weren't any sudden movements, just a short pause; stagnant air. Out of nowhere, a spinning weapon flew out from the portal, its edges jagged and its aura lit in flames. It wrapped around one of the Kraang bots, pulling it back in through the blue waves like a fish on a hook. Its metal fingers clawed at the ground, but it served no purpose in delaying its demise.
The brothers looked on in shock, whatever was on the other side of that portal was potentially dangerous and seemingly struck at random. Leo clenched his fists, alerting the brothers to be on guard while they waited for more to happen.
More sound alerted out from the portal, and with their lack of an advantage point, they wouldn't be able to see anything from the ground floor. There was a lot of whooping and laughing, some sounds of metal against metal and fists being pounded into something hard.
Leo's eyes were white, his lips set into a permanent frown. He nudged his head to the side, slinking across the edges of the room while his brothers followed in a similar route. Once they had obtained higher ground, the group could finally get a grasp on what was happening; this Halloween was getting awfully confusing.
Setting their sights on the fight below, Donnie could make out four figures fighting against the remnants of the Kraang. Their weapons seemed to fizzle and glow with each swing, almost by magic. Donnie shook his head with an amused smile, don't be silly, magic isn't real he chortled to himself.
"Woah, are you dudes seeing this too?" Mikey hummed out, in awe as he watched these mysterious figures fight. Raph wanted to see their faces, wanted to know who he had the pleasure of fighting next, "I'm gonna get a better look." he sounded out before jumping down, though thankfully he remained in the shadows; much to Leo's relief.
It wasn't long after Raph had left until his brothers joined him, as they slowly approached the figures, their voices sounded out.
"Oh ho hooo, looks like we got a whole Kraang-kebab! Do you think it'll taste as disgusting as it looks?"
"Leo-" a voice growled out, "Would you just focus, we need to figure out how this whole situation happened!"
"Do you think it was magic?" a rather innocent voice beamed, their voice wavery and rather dreamlike.
"Considering magic is the clown of science, it's safe to say no, Miguel, not magic." a more robotical and sarcastic voice replied.
"Wait a minute, are they using our names, dudes?" Mikey whispered, Leo shook his head in utter disbelief, "It can't be, maybe we're just hearing things. R-right, Donnie?"
Said genius was rubbing his chin deep in thought, "Well, it has happened once before. Who's to say it can't happen again?" Raph pushed past his brothers, cracking his knuckles and neck, "Well I ain't hiding no longer, I think it's time we give our otherwordly counterparts a warm New York welcome."
Before Leo could stop him, Raph charged out from the shadows and leapt onto the shell of the first turtle he saw. Unfortunately for Raph, this happened to be the biggest and buffest turtle in the room.
"Ugh, Raph-a-doodle, buddy? I think you got a little something on your back." Leon smirked, Raph quirked a brow and turned around to reveal a smaller, angrier turtle on his back. Mikey erupted into hearts, "Oh mi gosh! Another turtle! Can we keep him?" his eyes throbbing with love.
Raph plucked the turtle from his back, holding him at arm's length as to avoid the sais and fists being flung his way.
"Huh, he's a feisty little guy."
"Interesting, a diamondback freshwater turtle..." Donnie hummed, slanted eyes examing the specimen as he rapidly shifted and rustled around in Raph's grip.
"Let go of me, you mutant copycats!" Raphael growled out. Raph flicked his gaze to Donnie, who was still studying the unnamed turtle, "Perhaps we should bring him back to my lab so I can further investigate."
"Let go of our brother." came a stern voice from the dark, three pairs of white eyes were staring back at the group. Slowly emerging, three more turtles were cast in the light, "There's more of them!" Mikey screamed.
Raphael landed a painful kick to Raph's fist, accidentally dropping the turtle as he quickly scurried to join his mysterious brothers. Leonardo raised the bladed tip of his katana to their counterparts, "We don't want any trouble."
"Hmmm, that's gonna be a problem. We've been told we're very troublesome, by like MANY bad guys." Leon smirked, perched against his Odachi. Raph began sweating, he was feeling awfully nervous, was there a certain smell in the air right now?
"You guys are us?" Donatello muttered out, examining each turtle with a sturdy gaze, "And you're all different species? That's new." he whistled. Donnie folded his arms, ever one for dramatics, he scoffed aloud "And you're all the same, rather boring if you ask me."
"Now, er, let's not be mean guys." Raph tried to settle the looming fight between both geniuses. Leonardo shook his head in agreement, "For once a Raph that speaks logic." he joked, earning a rather loud groan from his hot-headed brother.
"Enough joking around, how are they even here!" he barked out, waving his arms at the brightly coloured counterparts. Donatello went into deep thought again, the dull ache of his fingertips giving him a momentary hypothesis.
"Maybe when that Kraang tech burned my fingers, it took some DNA samples. A-and that was sent through the computer and helped power the portal."
"DNA can't power things, it's not a conduit. Perhaps, it simply allowed the portal for a more refined search." Donnie huffed, but he couldn't lie and say this wasn't a stimulating experience for his brain. Donatello nodded his head, "You're right, this device must have been a teleportation device or had some sort of interdimensional properties. My DNA was essentially a jumping-off point and brought the closest thing it could find that would relate to it."
"If that's the case, Donnie. Then how come it wasn't those other versions of us who were stuck in the 80s?" Leonardo questioned. Donatello shook his head, "I'm not sure, I'd have to run more tests."
"Tests are easy, it's answers that are hard." Raph slumped, Donatello looked up in amazement, "You're so right, that's genius!" the small praise caused Raph to blush a deep crimson.
"This is some great bonding and all, but, uh...what dimension is that one from?" Leon pointed to the large creature in the darker depths of the huge Kraang lab. Its mechanical movements finally brought its face into the light, crushing any object that was in its way, "Aw man, I forgot about that guy." Michelangelo whined out.
Leonardo and his brothers pulled out their weapons, stuck in a defensive stance, "Get out of here while you can, we'll make sure to keep the portal open and- HEY LET GO OF ME!" he screamed out. A large green hand grabbed the brothers, fast legs rushing back to the Kraang portal. Leonardo had a clear view of the giant robot as it got smaller and smaller the further away they got.
Soon everyone had made it through the doorway and landed in a pile on the ground. Leonardo jumped up as fast as he could, running back to the portal before it could close. With an outstretched arm, he ran, his muscles straining, "No, no, no, no, no!" he rushed out. The view of the robot got smaller and smaller until it disappeared just like the portal.
"WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" Raphael yelled, dragging his sai under Raph's throat. The other Raph gulped, his adam's apple bobbing onto the sharp object. Everyone was tense, the situation had clearly escalated and there didn't seem like there was a way to bring it back down.
"Hehe, l-listen, erm, me? T-that thing would have crushed us, I-I called for a tactical retreat."
"Tactical retreat? You're starting to sound like Lameonardo, you trying to be a wannabe leader?" Raphael growled. Raph quirked a brow, Leon stepped in to help him, "Actually, he was our leader. Yeah, for like a real long time too."
This new burst of information stunned the other brothers, Raphael was so affected by it that he backed away entirely, looking to Raph with wide eyes.
"Y-you were the leader? Like, an actual leader? Not just a one-day replacement?"
"Ugh...yeah? A-are you not the leader?" he asked back, his shoulders broadening. Michelangelo jumped up from the turtle pile, jumping up and down and pointing to where the portal once stood, "Dudes, what are we gonna do about the Kraang?"
"Mikey's right, that things gonna tear up the entire city." Donatello reasoned, worry flashing behind his eyes. Leonardo stood tall, trying his best to comfort his brothers, "We just have to hope April, Casey and Master Splinter can handle it until we get back."
Leon wrapped a casual arm around Leonardo's shoulders, "Sooooo, since you guys will be staying a little longer...how about a tour?"
