Turtles Forever

Exodus Part One

As Splinter was meditating in his room, he had a strange vision. Sitting across from him was his former master, Hamato Yoshi. He had warned Splinter that the Shredder had found a way off of Earth and that their friends, the Utroms were in terrible danger. Splinter gasped as he woke up snapping out of his trance. Later that day, the master told everyone about his foreboding vision of warning. They all decided that it was the time to strike to take down the Shredder once and for all. D with some persuasion, Donnie and Venus, considering she wasn't fit to fight because of her shoulder injury, agreed to stay and watch over Elizabeth.

Everyone started to prepare for the upcoming battle until night had fallen in the sky. Alopex noticed that Mikey was acting a little more nervous than his normal self. As everyone slept, Alopex felt the bed shift beside her. She slowly turned around to see Mikey getting up.

"Where are you going?" She asked him. Mikey made a startled yelp, now that he was caught.

"Uh, I'm just going to check on a few things to see that were fully prepared!" He quickly told her. Alopex frowned and sat up.

"We are prepared. What YOU need to do now is rest for tomorrow night." She told him. "This is going to be big battle and we need everyone at their best and full strength. Everything's going to be fine-"

"How do you know that?" Mikey asked her, immediately, almost shouting. He flinched as he listened in on the others to make sure they had woken up. He sighed in relief, Raph loud snoring from across the Lair in his room. He looked back to Alopex, whispering to her. "How can you be so sure that nothing is going to happen? This is the Shredder that we're talking about! Mr. Big bad ninja overlord!" Alopex made a small laugh.

"Stop laughing. Alopex, I'm serious. I don't want to lose you or anyone." He tried to tell her. Suddenly, Mikey was caught off guard when Alopex grabbed him and pulled the turtle back into his bed. He gulped nervously as she was now sitting on top of him. He got lost in her moon colored eyes stared back into his.

"If this is to be our last night together, then let's make it last." She told him.

"U-Uh, and what do you mean by that?" Mikey answered sheepishly. For some reason, Mikey couldn't feel his mask on his face, now realizing that Alopex had pulled it down, so it was now resting around his neck. She leaned in and kissed Mikey gently on his lips and whispered a few words to him that he will remember for the rest of his life.

"Make me yours."

"Excuse me, may I have your attention please? It is with a heavy heart that I stand here today to say goodbye to one of the greatest men that I've ever known: Oroku Saki, the man who single handedly responsible for restoring the great city of New York to it's full glory is leaving us. I would like you to put your hands together and show this fine man how much we are truly going to miss him." The crowd clapped for him and he stands up.

"Too kind. Thank you." he shakes the Mayor's hand. "As my good friend the mayor has just reminded us, this is a farewell dinner, my way of saying thank you and goodbye. Fortune has smiled on me in many ways. The opportunity to rectify certain matters at home has now presented itself and I must go. In my absence, my lovely daughter Karai will handle all of my business affairs. I assure you, she is more than capable." Karai stood up, she was wearing a black dress with a red collar and black gloves.

"The city has been good to me. It is...my adopted home. I hope someday to return. Please, enjoy your dinner and let us make this an truly unforgettable evening."

Saki's guests clapped again and he turned to the Mayor. "My daughter and I must attend to the details of my departure," the two of them walking up the stairs, heading inside the mansion.
