*May's POV*

  "So, where is your guys' brother, anyway." I asked, gazing over the group of turtles. "Aaaaghhhh!!!" A barbaric shrill echoed around the teenagers. "That should be him." Commented Leonardo, before taking off towards the scream. "You sure that's not your sister?" I remarked while running with the guys. Hearing a chuckle in response to my question, I caught sight of a tight-lipped smirk on Raphael's face.

We followed the direction of the scream, approaching an alleyway when the young turtle in orange came running our, his eyes bulging out of his head in horror. "Guys! Guys, you're never going to believe this! That dude he-he...HAD A BRAIN!!!" A moment of silence exchanged between the small group. Deadpanned, Leonardo spoke first. "We all have brains, Mikey."  "Not all of us." Donatello quickly sassed

  "In our chests?" Michelangelo asked, pressing his palms to his plastron. "No Mikey, not in our chests." Leonardo sighed. "You're not listening to me!" Michelangelo exclaimed before getting slapped. The orange-banded turtle quickly got his hands up in a form of a reverse L on the left side of his face "Did you just slap me?" "I was calming you down."

"Why would that calm him down?/WHY WOULD THAT CALM ME DOWN!" Michelangelo and I asked at the simultaneously. Suddenly taking notice of my presence, the freckled turtle ran up to my face with a hopeful expression. "You've got to believe me, those guys are weird, right?" I couldn't take sides on this small bickering between brothers, but as I gave it a moment's thought, the one's who kidnapped my family weren't everyday criminals. At least I think so. "I think he's delusional." Donatello commented. "Just-just come here." Mikey pulled on my arm. "I'm telling you that the big guy was a robot. And he had a freaky alien brain thing in his chest. You've got to believe me!" He said. "I'm not sure we do." Huffed Raphael.

We were led into the alleyway, Michelangelo's voice still loud and defensive. "Oh yeah? Well you'll change your tune when you see that he's-gone!" Mikey said in a shocking expression after seeing that there was no one in the alley. Then his brothers shook their heads in utter disappointment.

*****

We finally made it to the guys' hideout, I wasn't too pleased that it was in the sewers, but I was heavily informed that it was the only way. Giving it a second glance over...and then a third, it's pretty cool. "Got to admit it, this is a very...unique place you guys have here." I said. "Where have you been?" I hear an older man's voice from behind me. I turned around to see a giant rat that was standing up on its hind legs. He had a thin, Chinese style beard on his chin and was wearing a red monk rob holding a cane in one of his clawed hands, sparkling like it was entirely made out of a green hued crystal. Then his gaze fixed on me directly, and from the look on his face he was definitely shocked that I was here.

"And who is this you brought into our secret lair?" The rat asked the turtles with irration in his voice. "Master Splinter she's not a human and she needs our help." Donetallo explained. "Um excuse me but I think it's best I would explain why I'm down here." I said making every one in the room look at me. " My name is May O'Neil and you see sir my family was taken from me not too long ago, and I don't know what to do. I can't exactly go to the police while I look like this." I say, gesturing my body. "I need these guys help to save my family. Please let them help me. My family is the only thing I have." I said bowing to the rat named Master Splinter.

"I shall discuss this matter with my sons in the dojo. I must ask you to stay out here, little hedgehog." I hear him reluctantly order. Though it was a gentle tone, it was a clear demand of me. I stand straight up again to see Master Splinter going into the dojo with the turtles. I guess they're all a family. I looked at Donatello who gave me a small smile before he went in the Dojo. A quiver of hope ran up my spine.

*Third Person POV*

The turtles were in the Dojo kneeling in front of Master Splinter who was standing next to a shelf that had a mini shrine on the top. "And so your lack of inability to work together allowed them all to get away with the Hedgehog's family?!" Master Splinter scolded the turtles. "Well, maybe if I didn't have to waste time arguing with 'Hero Boy' I could've saved them." Ralpheal said looking at Leonardo. Leonardo gave Raphael a small glare.

"Hey, if you haven't gotten in my way I've could've done it." Leonardo said before turning towards Donatello. " And you went flying out on your own, how smart was that?!" Donatello quickly moved the scolding train along by snapping his glare down at the freckled turtle beside him. "Well it would've worked out great, if somebody hadn't hit me in the head with their nunchucks!" Keeping the train alive, Mikey turned to his side, scolding the air. "Well, none of this would've happened if..." Realization slapping him with a white glove, the young turtle trailed off from his irritable tone. "Somebody hadn't trusted us to go up there in the first place." Then all of the turtles turned their heads towards their Sensei who just stood there.

"Oh geez. Sensei I didn't mean to-" "-No Michelangelo, you are right." Splinter cut off Michelangelo's apology, surprising all of the turtles. "I am?/He is?" all the turtles questioned their Sensei's statement. "You are not fully prepared for what was up there. I trained you to fight as individuals not as a team. And as your teacher, your father the responsibility for that is mine. Now as for the Hedgehog I will have to apologize for her lose but perphase in another year we can try again." Master Splinter said. "Wha-Another year! Ha! has everybody forgotten that people were kidnapped!" Donetallo shouted in disbelief. "They don't have a year! Sensei we have to do something now!" Donetallo declared. Master Spinter looked at his son with a stern gaze. "You weren't there Sensei, you didn't see the way May looked into my eyes when her family was taken. She was in despair and she's counting on me-us-to help her!" Donetello corrected as he remembered how the pink hedgehog was crying out in despair. As Master master Splinter turned away from his son, he looked at the picture of a young man standing next a woman who was carrying a child and they all were wearing traditional Japanese clothing.

Thats is when he remembered the time where his world crumbled as soon as he lost his family. Master Splinter understands how the hedgehog must be feeling because she was just like him. "Yes, you must help her!" Master Splinter resolved. "I agree Sensei, but in that fight we weren't exactly a well-oiled machine." Leonardo said. "Like that robot with the brain thingy." Michelangelo informed. "Give it a rest." Raphael said with a deadpan. "Hmm. If you are to fight more effectively as a unit you are going to need a leader." Master Splinter said with a stroke of his beard. "Can I be the leader?" Leonardo asked excitedly like a little kid. "Why should you be the leader? I kicked your butt I should be leader." Raphael argued. "Hey I'm smarter than all you guys put together  it should be me." Donetello informed. "No way it should be me!" Michelangelo declared while his brothers were looking at him like he was crazy. "I don't really have a reason. I just think it would be neat!" Michelangelo said with a smile.

"This is a difficult decision, I will meditate on it." Master Splinter said before he closed a sliding door. About a split second later the door slide open again to reveal Master Splinter in the same postion as before. "It's Leonardo." Master Splinter said before he closed the door again. Leonardo smiled proudly and turned to his hot tempered brother with a small smile. "No hard feelings Raph?" Leonardo asked before Raphael got up fuming with anger. "Go stick it in your shell!" Raphael said in irrigation.

When Raphael opened the sliding door the pink hedgehog fell on the floor with a thud. "ehh...nice dojo you have here." May said after a awecured chuckle. "Little hedgehog I would like to speak with you in private."Master Splinter said after he opened the sliding door. "Um..."May looked at the turtles to see that their faces were looking at her with shock. "Okay." May said before she walked through the door before Master Splinter closed it behind her. "Dude do you think she's going to be in trouble." Michelangelo whispered to his brothers who all replied with a shrug. Donetello looked at the door with a frown. 'I hope May will be alright.' Donetello thought to himself.

~While with Master Splinter and May~

Master Splinter and May were sitting across from eachother in a cris-cross stile. "I have allowed my sons to help you on your mission to find your family little one." Master Splinter said in a calm tone that made May feel happy and safe. "But I am rather curious about how a human size hedgehog was walking around on the surface? As well as if you're family are like you?" Master Splinter asked the pink hedgehog. May took a deep breath before she could answer the rat's question. "Well to answer both your questions sir I would have to start with is that today is my fithteenth birthday and we were all going out for my birthday for the first time in my life. Which now I'm starting to regret and as for my family they aren't like me. Their human and for reasons unknown to me or my family I've looked like this ever is they found me." May said while gestures her body. "Found?" Master Splinter question with a brow rise.

"Yes I was adopted by the O'Neils since I was just a baby. I don't remember what happened before they found me or care about my origins. What matters to me right now is finding them and bring them home." May said with fire in her eyes. Master Splinter looked at the hedgehog with a sense of fondness and pride. Something about the hedgehog struck a cord in him, something that he never thought he would have see again. "Very well then. May I have a proposal for you that I think you'll be interested in." Master Splinter said as he strokes his beard. The pink humanoid hedgehog tilts her head in confusion.

*May's POV*

I am a total wreck and standing out here in the cold isn't helping right now! Right now I'm standing on a rooftop right next to Leonardo looking at the building across from us that had the same logo as the van I tried to chase after. "Explain to me one more time, what we're doing out here?" Michelangelo said making all of us groan in response. "Mikey we've been over this. That building has the same logo as the van that was used to kidnap May's family." Leonardo explained. "So if we wait here long enough, one of the kidnappers will eventually show his face. And when he does, well make him tell us where they took them." I said while putting my fist on my open palm. "And then we got ourselves a van!" Michelangelo said excitedly while fist pumping the air. Leonardo and I both slapped our foreheads while having  a tick mark. "Just hit the guy we tell you!" I grumble to the turtle. "Will do." Michelangelo said with a thumbs up.

"I still don't understand why we have to bring the hedgehog with us." I heard Raphael said with sass. "Hey, in case you've forgotten that was my family those creeps took. So if you got a problem with me say to my face." I said irritably. "Hey, I'm just saying that this is going to get dangerous so we won't have time to protect you!" Raphael growled shooting a glare at me. "Well you don't have to worry about that cause I can take care of myself." I said giving a glare back to the hotheaded turtle. We were both having a heated glare battle until Raphael broke our gaze. "Are you sure this is gonna work?" Raphael asked Leonardo. "Trust me, they'll be here any second." Leonardo said With a knowing grin.

*Time Skip*

Leonardo and I haven't moved from our posts for hours waiting for the guys that took my family and to be honest. I'm starting to get bored to death. "Okay, I'm thinking of something pink. Pa-ink...Pa-ink." I heard Michelangelo say behind me. "Is it May again." Donetello mumbles. "Man, you're good at this!" Michelangelo shouted. "Hey, Michelangelo can you shout a a little louder I don't think the people Jersey heard you." I sarcastically remarked. "Sorry." Michelangelo apologized. "Hah, I'm starting to like you 'pinky'." Raphael said with a chuckle. "Yeah whatever  'hothead'." I said with a smirk.

"With all the jokes aside I'm not sure if the guys gonna come Leonardo." I turned to Leonardo who was still staring at the building across from us. "We have to be pacient." Leonardo said giving me a resuring smile. "No, you have to come up with a better plan, cause the five over us standing here with our thumbs up our noses-" "I don't think they fit." Michelangelo cut Raphael off and obviously not catching the sarcasm. My eye suddenly caught site of the van coming in. "Is pointless!" Raphael said ingroing the young turtle's comment. "You sure about that Raph?" Leonardo said with a smirk. "He just showed up didn't he?" Raphael asked in a deadpan voice. "Yep." I replied. "Should've companed two hours ago..." I heard Raphael mumble to himself. "Lady and gentlemen I have a bold-" I didn't want to hear Leonardo 's plan I just wanted to get my family back. I quickly jumped down on the fire escape to safely land on the ground with three of the other turtles. "Guys, guys wait up!" Leonardo must have realized that we weren't listening to him because he isn't using the weird hero voice.

As soon as all five of us were together we were walking up to a skinny man wearing a white tank top and boot cut jean with boots. "All right buddy. We can do this the easy way or-my vote-"

"and mine" I said

"The hard way." Raphael finish my sentence as we smirk to each other. Everyone got their weapons out while I got into a fighting stance. "Yeah look at it logically. There are five of us and one of you. What are you gonna do?" Donetello Asked with a smirk. My guess is he's trying to act cool but to be honest it's kind of cute. The dude suddenly pulled out a weapon and started shooting at us. He had a laser! All of us jumped on to the fire escape  while the skinny guys was getting away in the van. "You had to ask!" Raphael yelled. "Guys we can argue later that guy is getting away again!" I said pointing at the van. "No he's not." Leonardo said as all of us started to climb up to the roof tops again. I didn't know why but as I was running I felt like I was starting to get faster in each passing second. Ralpheal tried to jump on the roof of the van but the van swarved making Raphael hit a nearby wall. Ohhh! That's gonna leave a mark.

As the rest of us were chasing down the van the skinny guy starting to blast at us again! That's it I had enough of the lasers. I started running faster to get closer to the van and as my foot left the edge of the roof I jumped above the van and curled into a ball and dashed towards the van. And then I crashed into the side of the van. "Oww...I'm gonna feel that in the morning." I muttered in pain as I was slowly getting up from the hedgehog dent I created. "Wow, dude I didn't know you could do that." I turned to see the turtles looking at me with awe. "I didn't even know if I could do that." I said and to be honest I really didn't. "Are you serious! You're telling us that you Just jumped off a twelve story building and you didn't even know that you could've make it to the van!" Raphael yelled. "Well Yeah. But hey at least now we're getting somewhere and nobody got hurt." I said tapping the back of the van making one of the doors up and a container filled with a blue greenish color roll towards Michelangelo's feet. Michelangelo looked at the container on the ground before he looked up with a shocking expression "Mom!"
