TMNT: Secrets of the Sewers

Ghosts of the Past

On board the Prime Leader's personal cruiser, the Hamato siblings were all lying on their backs, looking out at the stars through the observation deck while playing their favorite game.

"I see... A Triceraton doing a headstand!" Mikey called out, pointing at a cluster of stars.

Everyone snickered at the idea, then Raph caught sight of one.

"I see... Traximus using Shredder's helmet for a bowling ball!"

That got a good laugh out of everyone, then it was Hisako's turn.

"I see... The Salamandarian/mutant turtle hybrid child of Raph and Mona Lisa!" Hisako declared. "I think I'll call her Irrilia."

All of the turtles, save for Raph, immediately busted out into fits of laughter. The Red turtle just blushed hard before grasping one of his sai. He stabbed it into the floor scant centimeters from her face. She jumped a bit as she glanced over at the weapon.

"What?" she asked. "It could happen."

"Yeah, you're the only turtle with an actual girlfriend, Raph." Mikey agreed, "More than that, you actually have a chance with her."

"Unlike Leo and Miwa." Donny commented off hand.

"Yeah, dating your sister is a bit of a taboo, even for us." Hisako added.

"You guys are never gonna let me live that down are you?" Leo asked.

"Nope!" the rest of his siblings declared in unison.

They all laughed a bit more, than Hisako bopped Leo on the arm.

"Come on Bro, it's your turn." she told him.

"Alright, alright." he replied, looking out at the stars. "I see... A space station?"

"Where?" Mikey asked, looking out into the vastness of space. "I don't see it. Is it behind that space station?"

Raph smacked Mikey upside the head as everyone looked out towards Leo's station. It resembled a tall tower, with several large shields jutting out on the sides. The panels were etched with pink lights, practically broadcasting it as an Utrom station. As they all stared, the Professor walked onto the deck.

"I came to tell you that we had arrived, but it would appear you are already aware." he declared.

"That's it then." Leo whispered. "The Utrom outpost."

"We finally made it." Donny said with a sigh.

"And about damn time too." Raph declared. "I'm sick and tired of space. I'm ready to be back on Earth."

"Yeah," Mikey agreed. "I miss Master Splinter."

"We all do Mikey." Hisako told him. "But I'm sure he'll be waiting for us once we get back."

"As long as the Utroms let us see him before getting mad at us for the mess we caused." Raph reminded her.

"I'm sure we can work things out." she said hopefully. "Besides, we can worry about that once we're all safely back on earth."

"Right." Leo agreed. "Professor, take us in."

The Professor gave a nod, then returned to the deck to start the landing procedure.

...

The hangar bay of the space station opened up, allowing the Professor to land the cruiser inside. Once the doors sealed shut behind them, the six space weary travelers all shuffled off of the cruiser into the surprisingly empty hangar bay.
