Chapter 1; "Where It All Started"

[7 months ago..]

It was about 9:30PM, Splinter was already fast asleep, but Mikey wasn't. He was prepping to go out and do his nightly dose of art. Michelangelo grabbed his things and headed towards the exit of the sewer drain he and his father lived in. He had a duffle bag to his side, which was filled with spray paints. There was also a gas mask attached to the straps of the bag so Michelangelo wouldn't inhale any of the fumes. After he climbed the ladder out of the sewer, he threw his hood up and headed towards the alleyway where he always did his graffiti. He eventually cut through the rather small crowd of people he was following into the alleyway. He sat his bag down and opened it to show his spray paints, detached the mask from his bag, put it on, then let all of his creativity flow to his hands for hours on end. As he was spraying away to complete his new masterpiece, he did not notice the spider that was gradually growing closer to the turtle, who was consumed in finishing his art. The spider was nowhere in sight after a solid minute of crawling.. Maybe.. it was ON Michelangelo now?! Well, turns out it was. It crawled up Michelangelo's leg, onto his shell and was on his shoulder now. It then crawled down his arm and came to a stop on the back of his hand; that's when the spider caught Michelangelo's attention and bit him. The bite caused the turtle to stop in his tracks and stare. He watched the spider for a solid minute before flicking it off of his hand, examining the bite mark the spider left before shrugging it off and resuming his artwork. It took him about 3 hours to finish; it was now 11pm, at which time he decided to stroll around the city for his weekly check of any signs of his brothers. One issue though: he has no clue what they even look like! All Michelangelo knows is that they are all turtles like him, but different species. As Mikey was searching, he saw an old lady with a shopping cart walking down the street enter an alleyway. As he noticed the strange lady, he stopped in his tracks and watched her. Why was she shopping this late at night? Why did she even walk into that alleyway?? As he asked himself these questions, he found himself trying to follow her. Where was she headed? He followed her from a distance into an alleyway; she raised her hand and made a motion, at which her hand lit up with green fire. Mikey watched in awe as the graffiti on the wall came to life, moving and warping to become a doorway into what appeared to be a pizza place. That definitely wasn't normal.
