Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Please Speak Mikey

Chapter 1

On a clear dark blue night with the moon shining, while the stars illuminated across the quiet city of New York, the citizens rested from a long day of work in their comfy homes. But for our favourite mutant turtles, it was like any other ordinary night. The brothers bounced and sprinted from roof to roof, showing off their skills and reflexes and stayed hidden in the corners protected by the shadows engulfing their bodies. With sharp eyes, they scanned the scene for their most frequent enemy, the Purple Dragons.

"Donnie, have you located them yet? This is the fourth alleyway we've searched and still no sign of them," said Leo as he leaped into the air onto the next building.

"Yes I got the signal just two more blocks up ahead." said the third youngest just as he heard the second oldest smacking his fists together in anticipation.

"Finally some action!" snarled Raph, pushing more energy into his leg muscles, catching up with his older brother.

Mikey smirked watching his brothers in competition, with his raw talent and being the fastest out of the brothers he zoomed past Donnie and lifted his hands onto their shells, jumping high above and landing on the next building gracefully.

"Ha, I win!" he announced cheerfully.

Raphael scoffed "We weren't racing dumbass, we're on a mission remember pay attention!" He missed the flicker of hurt on Mikey's face as he stood next to Leo who crouched down on his knee, looking in the darkness of the alleyway. As if right on cue, a white van drove half into the shadows under a street lamp.

Five Foot Ninjas emerged from the back, standing guard as two bulky men with purple dragon tattoos came around from the front. With stealth and silence, the turtles listened as the men began discussing their scheme.

"What are they saying?" asked Mikey leaning towards Donnie.

"Shh, I can't hear if you're speaking Mikey," retorted Don concentrating.

Mikey moved forward, accidentally creating noise which luckily didn't alert the enemies, but granted glares from his brothers.

"Mikey, stop moving and keep quiet!" yelped Leo, his voice rising slightly due to his baby brother's liability in stillness.

"Shell-for-brains shut up, you're gonna ruin everything again!" Raph took a few breaths to calm his temper.

He's a ninja for crying out loud! Why can't he act like one? The red-clad Turtle thought as he watched the youngest squirm again.

"Sorry guys didn't mean to, you know how I am!" Mikey apologized, the feeling in his chest slightly burning from his brother's words.

"Enough guys look," shushed Leo who stood up raising his katanas, as the men started to take action.

"Ok guys, here's the plan-" as Leo refreshed his motive Mikey stood up, only to find out that his foot had fallen asleep and promptly lost his balance. He cried out as he fell off the side of the building, falling on top of a dumpster. He moaned faintly and rubbed his head.

"Ow, that hurt," he said noticing the Purple Dragons had discovered him.

"It's them, the freaks! Footbots attack!" one of the men commanded as the foot ninjas charged towards Mikey.

Leo sighed, "Plan failed guys let's kick some bots!" They sprung downwards, colliding with the enemies. Mikey jumped out of the way just in time as Raph came crashing down on top of a robot crushing his head.

"Oh yeah, that's how it's done!" He shouted, swinging his nunchakus and whacking two more into the wall.

The turtles then saw movement in the shadows and looked up to see more foot soldiers spreading around them.
