AN - Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read this new story of mine! I hope you all like it! To avoid confusion, I will be putting this guide at the beginning of every chapter! This is set after the end of the 2012 series and after the Rise movie. Also, sorry if this is a slower chapter, I kinda had to set up the story. Enjoy!!

2012!turtles

Raphael, Donnie, Mikey, Leo

3rd Person Rise!P.O.V. 

The turtles were bent over, examining something they had found lying on the ground in the Hidden City. 

Don rotated it in his hands. "It seems to be some sort of... ray gun? Probably?"

Raph was hovering over his shoulder as he asked, "Well, what does it do, Don?"

"I don't know yet, I haven't- Oh geez!"

He practically threw it away from himself as it started glowing a bright green color. A wave of color exploded from the "ray gun," and they started feeling themselves being pulled toward the  light in front of them. They all shouted and tried to grab onto something... unsuccessfully. The brothers tried to grab onto each other, holding on for dear life as they were sucked into the vortex. 

Michael had his eyes squeezed shut and waited for something bad to happen, to feel something, but nothing happened. He slowly pried his eyes open and looked around. It was... a city? New York City? But it looked so... different. It was also dark, but it had just been the middle of the day. He then noticed that he was lying on top of his brothers and climbed down. 

"Guys, get up. Look at this. Where are we?" 

They each pushed themselves up and looked around, peering out of the alley they had wound up in. 

"I don't know, but we definitely aren't home. Are we in Jersey or something?" Leon kicked a trash bag that was lying on the ground. 

"Well, wherever we are, just stick together," Raph said, his weapons in hand, "This might be some sort of trap." 

As soon as the words left his mouth, they heard a noise behind them. They turned to face the noise but saw nothing in the shadows of the alley. 

"Who are you?" Asked a voice from the shadows. 

"Who are you? We can't even see you!" 

After a few agonizingly long seconds, four more mutant turtles emerged from the shadows. They could do nothing but stare in shock.

Leon was the first to break the silence. "Okay, really, who are you? Because this is just weird now." 

Another orange-clad turtle walked up to Michael.

"Woah, dude, you look just like me!!"

The purple one stepped closer, squinting his eyes and studying them cautiously.

"Another dimension's version of us, Donnie?"

"Appears to be, but the kraang shouldn't be around to pull stuff like this anymore, and the Utron have no reason to." He directed his attention back to the four lost mutants. "How did you get here?"

"We don't really know," Raph spoke up, "We found this weird ray gun on the ground, and we kinda just sucked in."

"We didn't have time to really look at it,  but I still have it here, so I can try to figure out where it could've come from." Don held it out, squinting suspiciously.

"With our luck, it's gotta be something mystic. What else would it be?" Leon leaned against his sword as he spoke. "Thankfully, I am an expert in mystic weapons, so I can take care of it."

Don snorted, "Right, because I'm going to trust you with highly technical, probably dangerous, weapons that you've never used before. Oh yes, what could go wrong with that."

"Well, while Don figures that out, we can't stay here. We gotta find a place to hide out until we can go home."

"You can come with us until you figure it out, as long as you stay hidden."

They looked at each other and nodded, following as the other four turtles led into the sewer and towards their home.
