Midnight Prince

Chapter 1

(Okay, this picture has nothing to do with the story but it's just so cute, nor the video. But who doesn't love Mikey?)

It was damp and cold. It also stunk. A lone turtle tot walked. This wasn't no ordinary turtle. See, this youngster was mutated into a giant turtle. Hi s three older brothers would always picked on him. Never said one nice thing. His supposed father or Sensei ( he's a mutated rat) wasn't any better.

As said before he has three older brothers.  The oldest is Leonardo. He's so bossy!  We call him Leo. Then there's Donatello. He's... What the word.... A genius. He rubs it in too. But then there's Raph. He's hot-tempered. But he's also nice at times. Only when we're alone though. When we're around the others he *bullies* me. I don't care though. Then there's me. The stupid, dumb, reckless, youngest turtle. 

I'm the shortest of them. I have lime green skin and bright baby blue eyes. Sensei said they give off an aura when I concentrate. My mask is Midnight black. My favorite color is Black. Isn't that funny? My weapon is a Bow and Arrow. Sensei didn't think that would suffice in close range battle. So I got to choose a second so I chose a twin knife with a chain link in it. It's kinda cool...

But yeah.. I ran away for what Donnie and Leo said. Why would you say that to someone? It really hurt my feelings. So I ran away when everyone was asleep. I don't think anyone will care anyways.

//Flashback//

I ran out of the laboratory and into my room. I hurt my left wrist when I did a kata move wrong and ended up landing on it. Sensei ended training early so Donnie could look at it. When we got there he said 'beat it'. That he 'didn't need to look after a scum like me'.
So now I'm sitting on my bed, trying my hardest not to cry. Cuz then I'll be made fun of and be called a baby.
*knock**knock*
Someone was at my door. Sniffing I hopped off my bed and tip toed to the door. I put my ear against the rough and bumpy wood, trying to hear a sound.
*knock**knock*
I feel to the ground not expecting that...."Er... Who is it?..."
"It's me Raph. Come on....Open da' door"
I opened the door to a concerned looking Raph.
"Go sit on da' bed Mikey"
I didn't want to so I tried to protest "But-"
"Not buts, go sit down, I need to look at your wrist."
"But it feels fine Raphie" I whined.
I was the only one that got away with calling him that.
"Still I want ta' look at it. I care for ya' Mikey"
"I know"
"Alright let me see it."
He took my left wrist and started to roll his thumb on it. Trying to see if anything was wrong. He sighed a relief when he didn't find anything wrong.
"RAPH GET OUT HERE!!!"
"AND BRING THAT SCUMBAG WITH YOU!!"

//END FLASHBACK//

That hurt my feelings even more. Leo calling me a scumbag. I stayed in my room the whole day after that. I made up my mind. I would leave that night.

I leaned against the sewer wall.
'I never belonged there anyway'
*clink*
I looked toward the sound of the noise. I saw a figure in the in the black shadows. It's was tall. Taller than Sensei. 'And I thought Sensei was the tallest person ever......'

I drew my bow and withdrew an arrow. Come on Mikey! Be brave! I stood with courage.

"Who are you?"
"Do not be frightened young.... Turtle. I wish you no harm."
"Show yourself!"
He steps out. He's just like me. Well except for the turtle part...
"Are you like me?"
"Yes I am. May I ask you to lower your weapon?"
"You won't hurt me?"
"No young Turtle."
I lowered my bow. But I made no move to put it away. He seems nice. Maybe... Maybe I can trust him.
"Call me Mikey."
"Call me Tigerclaw. Are you alone Mikey?
Couldn't hurt to try....
"I ran away from home... I wasn't wanted. My 3 older brothers and Sensei don't really care about me..."
"I am sorry to hear that. Would you like to come with me?"
"I don't really know... On one condition."
"Name it."
"I want to put as much space as I can to this place."
"Hmmm. How about Tokyo?
"JAPAN?!"
I saw him wince when I screamed. I blushed a little. Didn't mean to scream...
"Sorry about that. I didn't mean to scream. But.... Sure. I'd love to go to Tokyo"
"Come follow me. I will lead us to Jet."

My eyes widened at the thought of a jet. Wwwooooowww. At least I won't have to see them again.

I followed the giant tiger up the ladder we were close to. It was dark out so we just watched out for the night owls.

This wasn't my first time to the surface. So I was familiar with the place.

Once we got to the airport we hopped over a fence and got in the jet. It wasn't to big. But it wasn't to small. It was black all over not to mention my favorite color black!!! There was a rather big print on it it looked like fire. With 3 edges shaped like a diamond at the bottom.
"Tiger Claw?"
"Hmm?"
"Whats that red fire looking thing on the jet?"
"That's the symbol of the clan that I work for. It's called the Foot Clan. Or Foot Ninjas to be exact"
"Oh"
