"Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo!" screamed the desperate voice of Master Splinter as it echoed through the portal, disappearing when the new doorway opened and sent the three turtles and April flying into cold, hard tarmac.

Mikey was the first to recover as he sat himself up, groaning and rubbing her head. "Dudes," he murmured quietly, taking note of his surroundings. "I think it worked."

"Ugghhh," was the response that Mikey got from his two older brothers as they lay close to him. April had been thrown a small distance away and quickly got to her feet, charging over to the three turtles and stopping in front of Leo, folding her arms as she glared down at him.

"What on earth were you thinking?" she demanded angrily. "Why did you do that?"

"Do you need to ask?" Raph muttered, grabbing Leo by the wrist and yanking the leader in blue to his feet. "We got here safely, that's all that matters."

"Well I'm sorry to say, Raphael, but you're completely wrong," April gritted her teeth and gestured to the Shredder's headquarters right behind her. Raph then turned his head and finally noticed that they were on the inside of the spiked-wire fence. "If the Shredder discovers us here, we're in BIG trouble."

"Not for long!" Leo called, running over to one of the fences close to them and pulling his katana blades from his sword harness. He brought the two swords down and slashed the fence, causing a part of it to loosen and enable Leo to use his weapons to create a big-enough hole for everybody to climb through.

"Way to go, bro!" Mikey yelled happily, climbing through the hole in the fence and moving out of the way so that Raph could climb through before Leo and April followed behind him.

While April was helped through the fence by the two older turtles, Mikey turned around and actually took in the sight of his home; the red sky, the smell of old burning metal and wood and the crumbling buildings of New York City. He watched as separate clouds of black smoke rose from the buildings in the distance and noted the dried up trees and the crumbling, dry ground they stood on.

"It's okay," April soothed, placing her hand gently on Mikey's shoulder which startled him for a second before he relaxed. "We can change this, Mikey."

"Yeah," Mikey mumbled, glancing at Leo and Raph who were also looking around at the once thriving-city.

"It's just so..." Leo waved his hand in the air as he tried to think of a suitable word for what he was thinking.

"Silent?" Raph guessed, earning a quick nod from Leo in response.

"Look," April sighed, beginning to usher the younger turtles in the direction of the city outskirts. "It isn't safe here. Let me take you back to base; we'll get you three checked over and then from there, we'll work out what we need to do."

With that said, the three turtles all nodded in unison and followed April as she began to lead them to their hideout.

"My sons..." Master Splinter's legs began to shake as he dropped his staff to the ground. April and Casey grabbed the mutant rat's shoulders for support before beginning to lead him away. Splinter pulled against their grip, his eyes focused desperately on the spot where his sons had tackled the future version of April into the portal, taking them back to her world.

"Master Splinter, they'll be okay," April tried to reassure Splinter but he continued to stare wide-eyed at the area the turtles had just disappeared from.

"Yeah, Red's right," Casey added, looking at April quickly before turning back to the wise rat.

"They've gone to the other April's world; a world that the Shredder rules!" Splinter suddenly roared before closing his eyes tightly and shaking his head. "I can do nothing to help them!"

"Master Splinter..."

"My sons...Please be safe," Splinter prayed quietly, sinking to his knees and bowing his head sadly.
