Mikey sits at the table with Ice cream kitty as he eats pizza.

"Meow?" Ice cream kitty purrs as she looks at Mikey.

"I can't help but feel guilty Ice cream kitty it's my fault that Leo got hurt" Mikey said.

"Meow" Ice cream kitty said as she purrs on Mikey's shoulder.

"Maybe Master Splinter is right I need to find my own path and I must do it alone" Mikey said.

He finishes his Pizza and then puts Ice cream kitty back in the fridge.

"Meow ?" Ice cream kitty said.

"It's okay kitty I'll be back soon" Mikey said as he closes the fridge.

Mikey grabs a blue bagpack and begins packing. He puts his nunchucks ,a few boxs of pizza, his t-phone, VHS tapes, a blanket, a pillow, a hand held game, a board game, a family photo and his skate board all in the bag pack.

Mikey puts the bag pack around his shell. He pulls out a piece of paper and writes a letter. After he was done writing he puts the paper on the floor.

He then exits the lair and climbs up the latter up to the outside world.

"They're better off with out me" Mikey thought as he walks in the alleyway of New York.

Shadowy figures leap across the rooftops. Meanwhile Mikey was sitting in an alleyway eating pizza when he sees the figures. Mikey stands up and decides to follow them.

"Mikey ?" Donnie asked as he looks for Mikey.

Donnie looks in Mikey's room expecting to see him watching TV but to his surprise Mikey wasn't there.

"He's got to be here somewhere" Donnie said.

Splinter walks into the room and sees Donnie's worry look.

"What's wrong my son?" Splinter asked.

"I can't find Mikey, he's not in his room or in the kitchen" Donnie said.

"What's going on ?" Raph asked as he enters the room.

"Mikey is gone" Donnie said.

"Pft he'll be back" Raph said.

"I'm afraid not. He left this note" Splinter said as he hands Raph and Donnie the note.

This is what the note read.

"Dear bros I know I'm not the strongest or smartest or even bravest I'm just the goof off and a screw up. Raph is right I'm just a weak baby. I am taking master Splinter advice and follow my own path. I don't know how long this will take but I won't return home. Please take care of Ice cream kitty. Your brother Mikey"

After reading the letter Raph and Donnie look at each other in shock.

"He left because of me ?" Raph asked shocked.

"Master Splinter we have to find him" Donnie said.

"It seems that Michelangelo took my advice and began his own path" Splinter said.

"I'm gonna find him" Raph said.

"No !" Master Splinter said.

"But Master Splinter..." Raph tries to argue.

"Michelangelo needs to find his own path of self discovery. I know he will come back soon" Splinter said.

"You know what I don't care let him run away" Raph snares.

"I know you don't mean that Raphael" Splinter said.

Raph looks at the ground.
