Return

Three months later. (It was the closest time scale I could get from the show.)

Mikey: New York is quieter than usual. . And foggier.
Casey: You sure you think we can find Leo?
Donnie: I hope so. It's only been three months since we left the city.
April: Yes, and three months since Leo's second mutation.
Raph: I'm thinking that the quickest way we can find him is through one: Claw marks, two: traps, or three; some sign that only we will know.
Splinter: Leonardo is a survivor, and I'm sure that we will be able to find him.
Casey: But before we go looking, we need a place to call a fort. The lair was found, the Kraang know where April's apartment is, where else is there that we can hide?
Mikey: I got an idea!
Casey: What is it? It better not be th- Woah!

Casey slammed hard on the brakes as a figure stood in from of the van.

Casey: Who the heck is that!? He must've had a death wish to just stand in the middle of the road.
Raph: I say, we go out and see if that guy is friend or foe.
Donnie: Agreed, but if it's a human, they might run in fear if we go out there.
April: Fine, me and Casey will go out, but you guys stand ready if something goes wrong.
Mikey: Got it!

Casey and April stepped out of he van, and started to approach the figure. The stranger himself wore a black cape and coat that covered every square inch of him, and he wore a mask that looked like some type of bird. He merely looked at the new comers.

April: Hey, we're sorry that we almost hit you, but you shouldn't stand in the middle of the road.
Stranger: Leave thissss place. There isss nothhing here forrr youuu.
April: I'm sorry, but we had to come back to our home. Plus we are looking for someone.
Stranger: The cccittee issss deead. Only a feww people ssssssurvived.
Casey: Well, we aren't looking for a person. We're looking for a mutant.
Stranger: Givee meeeee prrroooof.
April: Guys, can you come out.

Slowly the turtle trio left the van and walked into view. Illuminated by the head lights, the stranger looked at them. The mask kept any facial expressions from showing.

Stranger: Ssssooooo. Therrrre arrre morrre.
April: You saw another mutant that looks like them?
Stranger: Yesssss.
Raph: Can you tell us where?
Stranger: Nnoo. But I caan ssshoow the ssspooot where I llasst sssaww hhhimm.

With that the stranger turned and began walking away. April ran a little to catch up, while everyone else filed into the van. Casey started to push the gas pedal, and the van moved toward the hooded person.
After going slowly through the rubble-filled streets, the van came up to an all too familiar building.

Mickey: Leo was here?
Stranger: Yesss
Donnie: Was he going in, out, or passing by?
S: Out. Through that hole.
The stranger pointed towards a blasted out hole in the wall of Shredders lair. April, Casey, and Splinter went go to examine it.
Raph: No way he got out without help. That wall is metal and 3 feet thick at least! Did you help him?
S: . . . No. He needed no help in getting out.
Mickey: Why did you start talking normal?
Author: because I didn't want Auto to rewrite everything.
Don: Did he look like us, or was there one thing he had that we didn't?
M: WHO SAID THAT?!
S: Horns, claws, and a tail.
Don:(thinking) Is there anything else that you know about our brother.
Mickey: His name's Leonardo, if you didn't already hear.
S: That is not what the others call him. His title is now RazorShell.
Raph: Talk. Now. What others?
S: I cannot say, nor can I stay much longer. I advise that you leave this area and quickly. Farewell, and may the clan show you mercy.

With that, the figure walked into the fog. Within moments, there was no trace that he was even there, despite the dust-covered street that they were standing on.
Raph: What the-. Where'd he go?!
Don: He couldn't just disappear, he had to go somewhere.
Mickey: I got a bad feeling now.

Right after Donnie nodded in agreement, the rest of the group came over.
April: Where'd the guy go, and did he say anything about Leonardo?
Don: Not a whole lot, but he said that he still looked kind of like us.
Casey: What the heck does that mean?
Donnie: It means that we might have a chance to help Leo when we find him. If I can find a canister of mutagen, I might be able to make a special batch of retro-mutagen with the antidote I made back at the farmhouse.
Raph: Then let's find some ooze, let Donnie mess with it, and turn Leo back to normal.
April: This plan is sounding nice, but your leaving out a big if.
Raph: . . .I'm sure we can find him, but where are we going to make a new lair?
Mickey: I got an idea.

---------Clearcut POV--------
(After leaving the group)

After puddle-porting to under a pipe opening, Crystal stood in the wind, pondering. "They have much to learn." The Alpha began pacing back and forth on the concrete platform, throwing her mask and cape on a dumpster lid. If they know ShellShock, then maybe they can help tell the story of this stone jungle. I just know that there was hundreds of people here, but where did they go?"
She stomped her foot, leaving a crack in the ground. A minute after the assault, vines began growing from the cracks. Stepping away from the now flowering vines, she called out: I know your there Ivy.
One of the vines grew up to eye level and, through one of the flowers, asked "Where am I then?
Hmm. Shipping container- na, too much metal. Barrels? . . . Neop. Full of waste. Dumpster then. Yep, there she is. It smells like mint and honey.
"Enny, Minny, Miney, Here!"
AHHH!
Crystal had pulled up the lid to the dumpster to find a mutated little girl sitting in between some bags.
"No fair! You always find me. . . How, how did you find me?
"Just had to follow my nose."
"Did the honey give it away?"
"Ye-up. That and the fact weeds were growing right by the dumpster."
"I'll need to work on that. Any luck on finding a grathstone for anyone?"
"None so far, but I did find this."
Crystal tossed a bag of seeds to the little brown-haired girl.
"You found Pineapple! *sniff* And Orange! I always wanted to try some. Thanks Crystal!"
Ivy ran up and squeezed the older one.
". . . I saw you pacing. Is everything alright? Or did you hear the bikes again."
"Everything is fine Ivy. We got some newcomers though."
"Really? Are they nice? Or are they part of the tin can or the hot rods."
"I could tell that they're not with Bucket-head. I doubt that they know about the lab."
"How many people came?"
"You won't believe this, but there was only two humans, a giant rat, and three turtles."
". . . Sooooo, the humans had pets?"
"All walked on two legs. The rat was taller than the humans, and the turtles looked like Shock."
"Really! Maybe they know him! They might even help us get rid of the Shredder! Let's go hurry and meet them!"
The little girl almost began running to the puddle. She would've reached if it weren't for a clawed hand holding her shamrock green tail.
"Hold your horses now. Let's give them time to solve some of their own problems before we give them our plate."
"😞 ok. But promise me that the clan will meet them soon."
"You know that it's not a guarantee, but I'll do what I can. Now, *Clap* lets get back to the den and tell the others."
"Oo-tay!"
Both girls walked to the puddle, and began to melt into it.

Within a minute they reformed in the middle of the den.
