Chaos erupted five minutes after they were supposed to come out of the machine. All was going well in the beginning until they lost contact with the two inside.

The two outside the machine had been watching the screen that showed what the other two were experiencing inside.

———-
Donnie had set up a safe simulation for them play test. A replication of New York above ground to walk around among NPCs.

It all seemed normal at first, until everything began to glitch. From a calm and dull New York settling to a darker colored almost underground city full of creatures they've never seen before.

"Wow! This is so cool!! Donnie made this?", exclaimed Mikey as hopped a round almost like he was actually stand on top of structures.

"Uh Yeah... a little too real if you ask me....", muttered a worried Leo.

Leo followed his brother farther into the underbelly of the city. He stepped over questionable clutter and wondered about the sanitation of the simulation even if he was sure it wasn't real. He took no chances.

That's when he spotted them. Four turtles in ninja Aesthetics. He pulled Mikey with him as he stared at them and walked over.

They were all doing different things and babbling without noise. Leo was curious and confused.

Mikey quickly caught on to what his brother was distracted by. He began to shake with joy at the sight and ran up to hug the largest one with a red bandanna.

The turtle didn't acknowledge him but reacted as those he felt something was touching him. He turned to talk to the others as they looked around.

"Mikey! Stop that!", scolded Leo.

"Why? It's not hurting anyone!", said Mikey as he climbed on top of the turtles shoulders.

"But I have a strange feeling about this! It feels so weird!", claimed Leo.

With a dramatic groan, Mikey jumped off the turtles shoulders and walk up to him.

"I see what the big deal is, it's not like he's real! He's an NPC. You know, part of this test game Donnie made.", said Mikey.

"Did he ever explain how to exit the by the way?", asked Leo.

Mikey stood still with a goofy look on his face as a head of sweat dripped down his face.

Leo left him in slight panic as he looked for any indication that he and his brother could leave.

"Wait up! Don't worry, we'll be fine!", assured Mikey.

He smiled as he saw a giant doorway open all of a sudden. He jabbed Leo in the arm to get his attention. Leo waved him off with a glare and rubbed his arm.

"Owe! What the heck?", questioned Leo.

"Look! It's the exit! It has Donnie's face on it!", Mikey pointed to the large door way in purple.

They ran up to the door before it started closing.

"Guys what happened? We lost track of you!", said Donnie.

They walked out of the machine and took the head gear off.

"What? You didn't see the really cool place that replaced New York?", said Mikey.

"No?? I only wanted a brief walk a round test! In case something goes wrong...", said Donnie as he looked then both over.

Raph walks up them with a squint in his eyes. He poked Leo where Mikey jabbed him.

"Ugh, not there!", whined Leo.

Raph snorted a laugh and smirked.

"Why? Is it because it has a bruise?", asked Raph.

"You knew and you still poked me there?", glared Leo.

"Yep!", chirped Raph.

Bye!
