AN: Hey there. This is my first ever fanfiction and I'm writing this at ten o'clock so please go easy on your judgements of my writing.

I was thinking of ideas for a story and then I thought about Turtles Forever and wondered what it would be like if there was one with the 2012 turtles as well and this is what I came up with. I rate this T for safety but I'm seriously not sure how it's going to turn out so it could change.

I am originally a 2003 fan and I have gone on to enjoy 2012. I'm not the biggest fan of 1987, though. I'm sorry and I know it's each to their own but I'm telling you this because I am using the 1987 characters and universe in this so I'm sorry if I get it wrong, but I am basing that aspect on turtles forever and a couple of episodes I watched for research. Sorry.

One more thing: I'm British and have never visited America so I'm sorry if I get anything about the way Americans use language or the American culture or scenery wrong. Forgive me, please.

DISCLAIMER: I personally don't see the point of these. If I owned TMNT, would I really be writing fanfiction for it?


2012 universe

Leo dodged a punch from Raph and grabbed his leg, flipping him over. But before Leo could go any further, Raphael had his legs locked around Leo's calves and had dragged Leo to the ground beside him.

"Come on, fearless," Raph taunted. "That wasn't even a fun fight. Even Mikey could do better."

"Yeah!" Mikey cheered from the side. Then, "Wait," followed as he realised his mistake.

"Raphael." Splinter said from the side. "It is not right to insult a defeated opponent."

"But-"

"No buts, Raphael. And do not interrupt. I will not be interrupte-" he was interrupted as suddenly a bright light filled the room and every one in it fell back with a sickening crunch as their heads made contact with the floor.


Leo sat up, rubbing his head. What happened, he thought, trying to ignore the headache that felt like it was trying to crack his skull from the inside. Surely Raph couldn't have done this to him? Raph hurts me in practice, but knocking me out? He turned to his brother, who was lying next to him, also unconscious.

Only, it wasn't Raphael lying next to him. He knew because Raphael wasn't the same height as him. And Raphael didn't have olive green skin. And Raphael didn't have his weapons with him during their last training session.

And Raphael had never, not once, worn a purple bandana.

Leo, startled, went to check on his other brothers. They were both unconscious, as well, but he recognized at least one of them. Donnie was there, his bandana tails lying above his head like rabbit ears. Leo would have laughed if he hadn't been able to see where Michelangelo had been sitting. There was another turtle with a bo and a purple bandana. Only this one was shorter than him and had purple knee pads, elbow pads and wrist supports as well. Leo could've sworn he had seen this turtle before.

Dismissing that thought, Leo turned to Splinter, only to find in his place a woman with auburn hair in a yellow jumpsuit. Getting over his initial fear of not having his sensei to turn to, Leo realised where he had seen this woman and the short turtle before: when he and the others had been between dimensions using the kraang portals, they had glimpsed these people.

Leo immediately took out his t-phone, aiming to call his sensei. He tried but got no response. He was about to try Raph when he got a call coming through.

"April."

"Leo."

"We have a big problem."


April arrived at the lair just a few minutes after Donnie woke up. Leo had decided how he was going to distinguish between the three Donatellos, as it was clear the were all, somehow, a variation of the same turtle. His brother would be Donnie, the turtle who was his height would be Don, and the short turtle would be Donatello. At that point, Leo didn't really care whether or not the turtles would like their nicknames.

April came through the turnstiles, struggling to hold a full grown woman in her arms. This woman, Leo could not help but realise, was also a redhead, and she was wearing a purple crop top and brown trousers.

"April! Are you okay?" Leo asked, and when the teenage girl nodded, Leo followed up his question with "What happened?" He was tempted to ask how she had managed to carry an unconscious woman through New York city on a Saturday morning in August, but decided he could find that it later if he needed to.

"I don't know. Me and Casey were studying in the park when I saw this bright light and I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, she" she nodded to the woman, now on the floor, "was lying on the bench where Casey had been sat. I was going to talk to Donnie about it-"

"Then you're in luck. There are the of them, all unconscious, lying in the dojo."

"WHAT?" April practically yelled, eyes bulging. Leo was about to respond, but was cut off as the woman sat up and three shouts came from the dojo.

Leo smiled as he heard Donnie's customary shout of "Darwin's beard!" Apparently he had spotted his dopplegangers. He then heard a gleeful shout of, "Hey, me-dude!" and a less gleeful shout of "Not this again!"

"So they're awake." Leo said to April.

"Apparently they are." She agreed, following the woman.

Leo walked into the dojo, taking in what was around him. Donnie had already cornered April, still managing to get caught up in his crush despite there being two more of him than there should be. The woman in the crop top had immediately gone to the turtle with olive skin, while jumpsuit lady and short turtle had grouped together.

Leo went to stand on the trunk of the tree in the room. "Guys!" He half shouted, getting the attention of everyone in the room. "We can freak out later, but right now, we need to figure out some names, because I'm currently standing in a room with three Donatellos and, assuming you're called April O'Neill," he said to the woman in the crop top, who nodded, "three Aprils. Communication may be an issue. So, I suggest Donnie," he pointed to his brother, "Don," he pointed to olive skin, "and Donatello." he pointed to the short turtle. They all nodded in agreement. "Okay then, now for the Aprils. Your gonna have to give me suggestions, because I have no freaking clue."

After a second, crop top spoke up. "The guys sometimes call me Ape."

"Okay," Leo nodded, "that's good. You two?" He asked the other girls.

"Well," jumpsuit said. "My middle name is Harriet, so maybe... April H?"

Leo nodded again. "Yep, yep, good. And you," he pointed to the teenager, "can stick with just April." She nodded her agreement. "Right. Now that's sorted, what the freaking SHELL is going on?!"


So, that was my first ever fanfiction chapter! Sorry it was so short. Hopefully future chapters will be longer. And gorier. Just a heads up, I'm planning on doing the next one in the 2003 universe.

Just a note on 2003: I'm using the design from series 1-5, as I personally didn't like the design for series 7.

Leo had seen the 87 turtles in the episode Wormquake. That's what I'm referring to.

Sorry if this story is ooc or written badly. It is fricking midnight, though.

Please review, although if you're going to leave a negative comment, I'd prefer if you'd use an account so I can possibly talk to about you.

Ps I'm going to suggest a song to you (possibly) in every chapter. This time I am listening to Breaking Benjamin Dance With The Devil.
