The Strange Replacement

All of them except one return back to the apartment they left behind a few weeks ago, to help fight a war that wasn’t theirs. They had fought for two long weeks and they regretted going because of the disappearance of one of them. Leonardo, Donatello, and Raphael sat in the living room thinking about what had happen. They all look exhausted and worn out.

“He was the one that didn’t want to go in the first place, but we made him.” Leo said with his head bowed down.

Raphael looked up at him and shook his head, “It’s not our fault, and it’s not his, it’s those damn auto bots who ask us to go.”
Donatello got up and stride to the kitchen, “Michelangelo didn’t die, he just left and he told us why, remember?” He unpacked a bag of chips from the cabinets.

“He said that he was going to go find his brother?” Leo answered him

Donatello stared back at him without answering him.

“HELLO…we are his brothers, so if he had another brother, then his brother would be our brother too, wouldn’t he?” Leo gave him a confused expression.

“If only splinter was here, he would tell us everything.” Raphael looked down at the floor.

“Splinter risk his life for us so that we can be here, now one of our brothers have disappeared without a trace and not knowing where he’s gone.” Donatello snaps back at them.

Just as the Turtles were discussing what their next plans were, a letter was slip through the door, and Raphael was the first one to notice it.

“Look you guys someone slipped an envelope through the bottom door.” He got up and picked it up

The other two followed him and were stunned to see the envelope transform into a hologram.

“It’s a hologram from the future, and it looks like Optimus Prime delivered it.” Raphael stated.

The hologram opened up and showed a small life-like picture of Michelangelo.
“It’s Mikey.” Donatello said.

“Hey guys, its Michelangelo, first I want to say sorry for taking you off on you guys like that, it’s just ever since the prophet stated the coming of the fifth brother, he told me personally I was the one chosen to find him. I did end up finding him, but it wasn’t an easy task. The auto bots have settled down and the decepticons have retreated, so the war we fought is still being fought. Apparently, when I found our long lost brother, he had a second part to the prophecy: Only those may live to fight, but one must go. This means that I had to sacrifice myself to save all of us. This is a goodbye and I wish I was there to continue fighting beside you guys but I have to go. I hope our brother protects you like I did to you and you protect him like you did to him, his name is Barney. Bye

The diminutive Michelangelo disappeared and the front door open to reveal their long-lost brother.


A Big purple dinosaur appeared before them waving like an idiot. “Hi guys.”


“Damn it, its Barney the purple gay dinosaur from the television.” Raphael
