MIKEY AU PART ONE

synopsis:  where Mikey is the one who sacrificed himself instead of Leo.

Leo’s POV …I failed…. and just when I was starting to understand what it meant to be a leader too… “MIKEYYYYYYYYY!!!!!” my voice was getting exhausted just from screaming that loud as I was practically free falling. My arms and legs move around frantically trying to gain my bearings. Eventually, I managed to face forward as I quickly drew out my odachi to open a portal. The blue light that I’ve come to love so much as a way to escape, I’ve never despised so much. As I went through the portal, I landed roughly on the ground. After lying for what felt like forever, I slowly sat up, despite my ribs being in pain and the cuts all over my body, and tried to gain a better look at my surroundings. I was clearly on a remote street with debris everywhere. Cars were destroyed, streetlights lost their light, the street cracked and the windows of buildings shattered. That was when it really hit me: my little brother is OUT THERE with that THING ALONE. Just the mere thought of him torturing my brother makes me feel sick to my stomach.

“Le…Leo…come in Leo! LEO COME IN!! LEO!!” I hear Raph's voice.

“ Yea... Yea I’m here I’m here.”

I could hear the relief in his tone. “Alright. I’m just glad you’re okay. Is Mikey there with you?”

I automatically freeze up. Not sure how to tell him without breaking down in the process. So I stayed silent.

“...Leo?....where… IS MIKEY?!?” his voice gradually got louder. I know it’s not out of anger, but fear. I can’t even imagine how Donnie's feeling right now.

“He um…. He’s… still up there…” “...what did you just say?.....”

“HE'S STILL UP THERE OKAY?!?!

complete and utter silence is on the other end. I’m glad I’m not there with everyone to see their facial expressions cause I don’t think I could handle it. The silence continues to last for one second…two…three…

“WHAT?!?!?! HOW-” “WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE’S STILL UP THERE?!?!” Donnie cuts Raph off completely.

“UM, IT MEANS EXACTLY WHAT IT MEANS GENIUS!!” I know that was uncalled for, but I'm already freaking out too much to care.

Automatically, I hear Raph's voice trying to contact Mikey. “MIKEY?!? COME IN MIKEY?!?! MICHEAL!!!” ….

Mikey’s POV I slowly begin to catch my breath after somehow miraculously dodging that hit the krang was aiming for me. When I saw Leo taking the hit for me, I was already freaking out. “LEO NOOOO!!” I cry out. Luckily, I saw him make a portal so I know he managed to make it out, but just the thought of him all bruised up because of me really did something to my insides. But I have no idea if Raph and Donnie made it out okay. In anger, I turn back to the one that was responsible for this: that horrible, HEARTLESS krang. “SUCH a shame that he couldn’t handle my SuPeRiOr strength and skill. He’s not suited for the image of KRANG!!” I heard it say with so much confidence

“....how could you?....” I mutter quietly

It turns its head to me. I REALLY wanted to wipe that SMIRK off its stupid face and decimate his armor that he really only has going for him. I can feel my alternate persona, Dr.Delicate Touch, surface out of me. “HOW…. COULD YOU?!?!” my voice completely lost its usual joy and cheerfulness and took on a more serious, darker tone. If my brothers were here right now, their legs would be quacking cause they’re definitely not used to seeing this side of me. It’s something that I try to repress.

Its face turns into one of mockery. “ awwwww. Are u wUpSeT that YoUr BrOtHeRs ArE GoNe NoW?” I can detect the fake sympathy a mile away.

“ YOU’RE NOT LEAVING HERE ALIVE…” I slowly whip out my nunchucks and draw out the mystic energy from them. The orange glow radiated brightly from it.

“Is that so? You won’t stand a chance against me. You’ll join your brothers down there soon enough” he declares, beginning to enter into a battle stance, then dashes towards me at the speed of light.

“We’ll see about that…” I dash towards him as well…

Raph and Donnie’s POV

“MIKEY….COME IN MIKEY?!?!?! ANGELO?!?! LITTLE MAN?!?!?”

While Raph was continuing to scream Mikey’s name, I was frantically searching for a light post, a lightbox, literally ANYTHING that had wires so I could reach my little brother. My battle shell was completely drained from its power, but I couldn’t find anything. That is until I managed to find a lightbox. I rapidly pull out the wires, and just smash the wires into my battle shell, my hands just shaking. I couldn’t connect the ends correctly with my trembling hands.

“onnie…DONNIE?!?!”

“What?!! WHAT?!?!”

Raph just looks at me with a frantic expression, but his voice is surprisingly calm.

“ I know you’re worried. I’M worried too. But we gotta try to calm down and think of something so we can save him” I already know he turned on his big brother mode just by saying this.

“YOU DON’T THINK I’M DOING THAT RAPHAEL?!? THIS IS ALL ON ME?!?! IF I CAN’T GET THIS STUPID THING TO WORK I -”

Big arms suddenly wrap around me. I quickly stiffened. Raph knows that physical affection isn’t my thing so why is he doing this?

“ You know it’s not all on you. I’m the oldest. It’s my responsibility to keep the family safe. We WILL think of something. Mikey WILL come back home to us”.

My eyes threaten to come up with tears, but I somehow manage to suppress them and I slowly hug him back. He guided me through some breathing techniques to get me to calm down. We stayed like that for a good two minutes.

Once his arms unravel from me, his face looks more resolved than it did before.

“Now…what’s the plan Donald?”

Let me know if y’all want a part two🙃

[swanpyart]

For your only child MikeyAU Do Lieutenant or Brute have some reservations on letting Raph become a host for the armor? Like they got attached to him after a few years together.

I’d probably say that Raph is kind of in the same boat as Casey (who was also taken into the Foot at a young age) in that Lieutenant and Brute sort of take on a mentor role and they definitely care for his well-being, but aren’t proper substitutes for parents. They treat Raph less like their child and more like an employee (to emphasize this, Raph wears a disguise and works at the Foot Shack lol). Raph is pretty much given free reign around New York as long as he doesn’t attract too much attention to himself.

Also, because they are a cult, they see Raph’s destiny to become the Shredder as genuinely amazing; they aren’t doing it with malicious intent (not that that excuses it, of course, because it’s still bad for Raph) , but because it’s the highest honor one can have in the Foot, and since he works so hard, and is naturally durable, it makes perfect sense for them to pick him.

Hope that answers it!

MIKEY AU PART 2

Mikey’s POV

We finally cross paths and the krang lunges his arm trying to land a hit, but I duck under his arm, punching at his slimy body. Its back hunched over, but then it quickly turns back to me.

“Lucky shot”

“Awwww did I WuRt YoU ToO HaRd?” I mock right back at him.

Realizing what I did, its face automatically shifts into infuriation as he charges toward me ten times more pissed. Despite the fear that was shaking in my bones, I prayed to the pizza universe in the sky that my facial expression is calm as I throw my arm once again to meet up with theirs and swipe it down and hold it. They attempt to use their other arm to get to me but I block it as well and punch it in the face since it’s at a level where I can reach. Once it loses stability, I quickly kick him in the knee. Once it kneeled, I slapped it in the face with my palm stretched out. It felt like it all happened in slow motion. Again, I quickly punched its body, then took its head and slammed it with my nunchucks. Finally, I did a quick sweep the leg and it flew off towards some debris, leaving the effect of it so big that I thought for sure that I left a mark there.

Once the dust cleared up, it was laid face down on their front. But ever so slowly, it rose back up. Should’ve known it wasn’t gonna go down that easily.

“ok….MY TURN” it spoke in a bitter, cold voice that I physically flinched and took a step back. By the time I blinked…, it was gone. Suddenly I felt a presence right behind me. Before I could even register what was going on, its arm lunged at me and picked me up then threw me on the ground HARD. I cry out in pain from the force. Then it took out its foot and put it down towards my plastron. The air rushed out of my lungs and I felt something warm come out of me…blood? I tried to budge out of their grasp but I could barely move an inch. “ I am forever known what you FAIL TO UNDERSTAND!!” Its voice gradually raises louder. “STRENGTH…ALWAYS…PREVAILS!!!” With each word, it kept applying pressure on my body and everything felt stiff and painful. As I squint one of my eyes to catch a glimpse of their face, it contained a sinister grin and their eyes have completely gone red slitted, making them look menacing. It thinks that it won. But I will NOT let it end like this.

After the fifth try, I successfully managed to free the arm that had my nunchuck and take out the hidden blade from it, throwing it towards its armor and stabbing it. I slowly give it a wicked grin in return.

“hehe...you know… it’s not good to be overconfident...otherwise, you’ll miss out on what your enemy can do”

“And just what exactly would that be? You can barely MOVE. You’re under MY hold.”

“I wouldn’t be too sure about that”

Very quickly, I draw the mystic energy from my nunchuck, the orange spots on my body glowing as well, and create a huge energy burst, sending the both of us away.

Donnie and Raph’s POV

I take another deep, slow breath. Okay… Raph is right. I’m not alone in this. I just gotta do what I do best. Think. “Ok so-” “ GUYS?!? WHERE ARE YOU?!?!” Leo’s voice cuts me off from my communicator. I answered him quickly. “We’re in Staten Island” “Ewwwwww!! Staten Island! Gross!” Even though we’re in this whole “world is ending'' situation, the barbs still continue. “Yeah Yeah I know, just get your butt over here Leonar-” Before I could even finish the rest of his name, I already saw his blue portal from my peripheral vision and him quickly running through it to give Raph a hug which he quickly returned, then gave me one. What is it with everyone hugging me? Seriously? “I’m just so glad you guys aren’t dead and are okay,” Leo said, relieved his voice was muffled. “MY SONS!!” “You guys!” He pulled from the hug as we all looked to our right and saw dad and April run quickly towards us. I realized that future boy wasn’t with us and it looked like I wasn’t the only one that noticed. “Wait. Where’s Casey?” Leo questioned. “ He’s trying to get the key. We heard about what happened to Mikey. What are we gonna do?!?!” April shrieked. “ MY BABY SON IS OUT THERE FOR GOD’S SAKE!! MAYBE IF WE GET BLUE TO PORTAL BACK- “He’s WAY too injured to go back there. What if we- “ “NO! WE DON’T KNOW IF THAT SPECIFIC WIRE IS GONNA GUARANTEE YOUR SAFETY DONNIE?!?”

With all these voices overlapping each other, I can’t get my head set straight and it’s only making the pressure worse. As the oldest, it’s my duty to make sure my family stays safe. But I clearly can’t do that right. Mind Raph isn’t helping me come up with any ideas at all. The thought of my baby brother taking his last breath and di- NOPE! Not even gonna THINK about that.

“ENOUGHHHH!” I shouted, which silenced everyone.

“ We’re not getting anywhere like this! Donnie, if you wanna start telling us what you had in mind, NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME!!!” I yelled. Everyone just looks at me in shock. I didn’t even realize I was catching my breath from shouting so loud. “.... I was just gonna plug in the wires that I grabbed earlier and plug them in the right spots so I can get my battle shell to work…” His voice getting smaller.

“Okay… you get on that as quick as you can. As for the rest of us-”

“...Guys…I don’t really have a whole lot of time left…so I just wanted to tell you guys one thing before I go…” I hear Mikey's loving but resigned voice from my communicator.

Part 3? 🙃

[juipterjim]

MIKEY AU

*DISCLAIMER*: MENTIONS OF BLOOD

your guy’s patience has finally been rewarded...to an extent. School is still a lot for me. But I feel real bad for not uploading and leaving y’all hanging. So, I decided to give you guys a sneak peek for part 4. I hope you guys enjoy it and please let me know what you think❤️

so without further ado, enjoy reading...😊

Determined, I quickly charged towards him again, nunchucks drawed out once more, mystic glow brightened out. I do my best to ignore the sharp pain on my plastron and the pain in my throat . I cry out and just start swinging madly at any spot I could find. It’s back, front, legs. It seemed to be effective, or so I thought.

“Are you done?” it asked in a neutral tone.It’s facial expression looked completely bored. Like I wasn’t even worth it’s time. I didn’t answer and kept striking it as hard as I could. Why won’t this stupid armor of brain MOVE?!?!

“...I think I’ve had just enough of this” I felt something sharp clawing at my arm, blood coming out in streaks. I think it tore a bit of my muscle off, but regardless, it really hurts.Like a LOT. Before I could even scream, I’m already flying away from him due it’s leg striking me on my plastron once more.  

Everything hurts. I tilt my head up towards the sky,my lungs desperately trying to obtain oxygen. I shut my eyes tight. Why did I think I was capable of doing this? I can already hear raph chastising me about needing to be careful and not being so reckless. I’ve always been like that for as long as I can remember. I'm the youngest. That’s what younger siblings do. But because of this, my older brothers have always gone ahead of me and protected me from danger. I only wanted to return the favor. Try to be like Jupter Jim from the films we would always watch and recite our favorite lines. But the harsh reality is sinking in, like a bitter pill. I’m no hero.I think about the time when I was finally allowed to go topside by myself to get a Lou Jitsu game from an auction house. I was ecstatic! I thought that they’re finally letting me have some independence. I managed to get it, but little did I know, my brothers jumped in on the scene to help out. I felt like I didn’t go off on them hard enough, cause leo just casually brushed it off. I was genuinely upset because despite them saying I could go, they still didn’t have any faith in me. I know they mean well but…

I slowly sat myself up, grunting as I did so, but once I sat up fully, the krang was right in front of me. I cried out in fright and immediately backed away from it. It just laughed at me as it was inching closer to me.

“Look at you, backing away like an utter COWARD!” it roared at me which made me almost hide in my shell. A fist comes at me full speed, which makes me hide in my shell fully

* CRACKED SHELL NOISES*

MIKEY AU PART 3

*real quick, I  just wanna say thank y’all so so much for being patient with me. Like I said in my update post, it was kinda struggling trying to figure out where I wanted to take this. But I got through the writers block 🥳. Again, please let me know what you think in the comments and without further ado, let’s get into it....🤪*

Sometime earlier…

Mikey’s POV

I’ve never been able to fully tap into my power like that ever. It took a lot out of me. Lying crippled on the ground, the pain was shooting like darts around my body. It hurts to even move an inch.

Repeatedly screaming in pain, I hunch over and curl myself into a ball, hoping that it would ease the pain. I’m just really glad my brothers aren’t here to see me like this. They already have enough going on with the whole krang ordeal, this would only worry them tenfold. Suddenly, I heard loud metallic footsteps slowly approaching me. I squint my eyes from the brightness of his one glowing eye from the top of his armor.

My stomach felt immediate pressure as his foot was on top of it. I gasped. This is it. My 15 years of living are ending at this very moment. I can feel the tears dwelling inside me and pouring out of my eyes before I can do anything about it.  

“ AGAIN… STRENGTH ALWAYS PREVAILS” it explains again in a mock tone. I try to utter a response, but instead, blood gurgles out of my throat and onto my plastron. It smirks in satisfaction after seeing that. “You’re the smallest of the group. You’re cowering into your shell. Tell me… what do you HONESTLY THINK YOU can do? Your so-called BROTHERS thought they could handle my power and look at where they are now” it boasted with complete arrogance.

I grunted with retaliation and threw my arms around for the closest debris I could find. With one of my arms landing on a rock, I quickly took it and chucked it at its face which was at his body. It screams in pain and I use that time to give myself space between it.

“ Do… you ever…shut up?...” I remarked trying to catch my breath.

It looks at me in shock but then shifts into its threatening stare. “...I’ll admit that was impressive…but you won't have that luck again” I glared at him, once again taking out my nunchucks and getting into a battle stance. But before I jump in I quickly turn on my communicator.

“...Guys…I don’t really have a whole lot of time left…so I just wanted to tell you guys one thing before I go…”

Everyone’s POV

Present

Our whole world stops when we all hear that sentence from Raph's communicator while arguing about what we should do. His eyes widened in shock, April doing the same but covering her mouth along with the action. Leo’s whole body tensed, and Donnie looked distant like he was staring into space. Ten long seconds passed and his chest was rising and falling at an irregular rate, not sure how to process all of these overwhelming emotions. Splinter just couldn’t maintain his emotions as a father and the tears were pouring uncontrollably like a river. Everyone has one train of thought: We did NOT just hear my little brother/son say that

“ WHAT?!?!?-”

“MIKEY WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!-”

“ WE CAN FIND A WAY TO GET TO YOU!!!-”

“AIN’T NO WAY YOU ARE NOT DOING THIS RIGHT NOW?!?!?!-”

“MASTER MICHELANGELO!! NO!!!!!-”

“MY SON! PLEASE! DON’T DO THIS?!?!?!?-”

“....guys stop yelling… and hear me out.. please”

The silence was deafening as they all stopped talking.

“... thank you. Now the krang is too tough for me, so I’m gonna use my trump card on it. I mean if Casey jr. said future me could do it, then I gotta try. I just wanna say that I love all of you guys so so much. Leo, I’ve always looked up to you and I know you’re going to do just fine as a leader. Casey jr. practically admires you bro so that’s a good sign. Keep being the face man for the group. Raph, keep being that big softie that I’ve always loved. I’ve always admired how you watch over all of us. I can’t even imagine the pressure you feel from that, so I’m sorry for causing you hard times. And all those times when you were being overprotective, though it could be a bit much sometimes, I’ve always secretly loved it cause it showed how you have a big heart. Never lose that okay?”

Everyone was either sobbing or just silent, all of this was crashing on them and it was too much to bear. Throughout his speech, they noticed that Mikey's voice was breaking a little as if he was crying.

“And Donnie…gosh Donald, I love how you always get so lost in your tech as you’re venting to me about it. Even though I usually have no idea what most of the words you use mean, It always makes me happy to see you happy with doing something you love. I know it’s hard for you to express your feelings, but please promise me that you’ll keep trying. Remember the lessons I gave you as Dr.Feelings. The family loves you so much and can help you with that. Thank you for being an older sister to me April. I’ll never forget you and the fun times we had together. Watch over future boy too. He’s gonna need you guys”

“And dad..” Mikey's voice broke even more. “Thank you for raising me and for giving me a family in the first place. Just know that I’ve always appreciated you. All of you guys will always hold a special place in my heart.” a laugh escaped from the communicator. Always watch over each other…. then it went static.

utter silence.

one…

two…

three…

four…

“guys…just WHAT DOES HE PLAN ON DOING?!?!? WHAT DID HE MEAN BY CASEY JR SAYING FUTURE HIM COULD DO THAT?!?! ” April questioned though her expression looked panicked.

It went silent for a few seconds and then Donnie's facial expression went from distant to paralyzing fear.

“No…no no NO! Micheal, you better NOT be doing what I think you’re going to do!!” Donnie screamed.

“Donnie, what are you talking about?” Leo questioned.

“Remember when we were in the turtle tank and Casey jr. explained what Mikey will do in the future?!?!”

“What? What are you talking abou-” he cuts off. His eyes widen in shock as the realization crashes on him HARD leaving the already tense atmosphere amplified tenfold. Everyone else was intently listening to the new information that was shared.

“No…you don’t think he’s gonna…”

“YES LEONARDO!! HE’S GOING TO USE WHAT HE CALLS HIS “MYSTIC HANDS!!!” Donnie just let go of the very little sanity he had left in him.

“ …Purple… What do you mean by “mystic hands?” Splinter questioned.

“It’s..um…this mystic ability Mikey unlocks in the future where… he can open a portal…and…” Donnie struggled to find the right way to explain this drastic news.

“What’s going to happen to him, Donnie?” Raph questioned warily.

“...He’s…going to lose his own life just by opening it.”

 *stay tuned for part 4 🙃
