The four new mutants working for Shredder run across the rooftops at an inhuman speed. Dōbutsu is a mutant cheetah, far ahead of the others, her long legs stretching out and her strong muscles moving in sync as she runs on all fours. Iro is behind her, her tears dried by the wind and her eyes sad, nearly drained of color and life. Electrica is third, laughing manically as she shoots bolts of lightening at whatever catches her eye. Hikari runs behind all of them, rolling her blind, glowing eyes at Electrica's actions and looking around for anything suspicious.

~The • Guys~

It's been five months since the guys failed to save the Y/ns. Five months of failed attempts to break into Shredders Lair and Lab to find them. Donnie soon figured out that they were looking for four Y/ns, and soon after he had a breakdown realizing along with four Y/ns, there were four more dimensions with sixteen ninja turtles. That was a frightening and mind blowing thought for Donatello, and he had to sit in front of the TV watching National Geographic with a cup of tea until he calmed down.

Now he works day and night trying to find them. He shudders at the thought of what Shredder might've done to his beautiful flower.
He has no idea.

Tonight, they're out on patrol, looking for four Y/ns, any Foot bots and Kraang. So far, nothing.

As Mikey glances over his shoulder and watches the TCRI building slowly shrink, he sighs softly. He misses his Sunshine more than he can express. He barely eats, rarely sleeps, and hasn't spoke since that horrible day.

Raph keeps his eyes straight ahead, his bright green orbs cold and harsh. He moves with one thought in his mind. -Save her.- If he thinks about anything else, he collapses. His brothers don't mention it, but they can hear his muffled sobs at night.

Leo is basically a robot. He eats small portions and trains until he's utterly exhausted and needs to be carried to bed. He meditates at least once a day. It helps him stay somewhat calm, but he punishes himself by reliving the moment he failed to save you. He believes if he ever gets you back, he'll be lucky if you let him call you a friend.

When the two groups stumble upon each other, everyone is shocked.

Leo sees Electrica first. At first he doesn't recognize her with her long, untamed h/c hair and her wild e/c eyes. The fact that she's shooting lightening bolts in any and every direction makes him snap out of his robotic daze and examine her as best he can from his distance. When it finally clicks, his eyes widen.
"Guys!" He gasps, causing the others to turn their attention to him immediately. Leo had barely spoke during the five months, and his tone of voice was never that hopeful and urgent.

Donnie sees Dōbutsu next. His eyes widen as he watches her stand tall and shift into a wolf mutant, sniffing the air.
"What the.." he mumbles, and she hears, her head snapping to his direction and her dark e/c eyes meeting his with a frightening look.

Mikey sees Hikari while this happens, his eyes widening and his heart beat increasing. He stumbles forward a bit and watches as she looks around with glowing eyes.
"I-I think.. th-that's.." he mutters in shock.

Raph runs forward and stops at the edge of the rooftop, staring at Iro with intense green eyes before a grin spreads across his face.
"Y/n!" He shouts, he and his brothers jumping to the next rooftop towards them.

~Dōbutsu • Donatello~

As the other three run behind Dōbutsu, she sniffs the air momentarily and catches the scent of something familiar. With several cracks and snaps of her bones, she shifts into a wolf and sniffs again.

"What the.." she hears someone speak, and her head snaps towards the voice. Then she sees him. The mutant she once loved, and now loathes. Her eyes widen as her mind races, deciding whether to tell the others or attack Donatello now. With a irritated sigh, she stands her ground.
"Girls," she growls as she stares at Donatello, picking up her teammates conversation.
