A/n welcome everyone to my latest TMNT fic. This one is going to be a dozy. Its focused on the 2012 turtles and the premise is that the four brothers get captured by the Shredder and Splinter, April and Casey have to rescue them. Needless to say there's going to be a lot of torture involved as well as some swearing. Hope you all enjoy it. Without further ado here's the first chapter of my story. Enjoy and as always I don't own TMNT or any of the characters all though I wish I did.
As Long as We're Together
Ch 1 Dark Clouds Gather
A brown coated rat with brown eyes was sitting in his room meditating. This rat was Hamato Yoshi or as he was more commonly know as Splinter. Splinter was trying to achieve what he called his Zen or inner peace. But this task was almost impossible for him to achieve. Suddenly Splinter was jerked out of his calm but a very loud crash. Splinter's eyes popped open and he let out a small groan. Then he heard a voice cry out angrily, "Mikey I swear if you broke it I'm gonna kill you!" This cry came as a surprise to Splinter because it belonged to his second youngest son, Donatello. Donatello was usually a clam person so if he was yelling then something very bad would have had to have happened.
"I'm sorry Donnie!" came Splinter's youngest son, Michelangelo's voice. "It was an accident!"
"Your whole life is an accident Mikey!" came the voice of Splinter's second oldest son, Raphael.
"Shut up Raph!" Michelangelo's voice cried out, sounding annoyed.
"Guys Splinter is meditating," came the warning of Splinter's oldest son, Leonardo. "So keep it down." Splinter had gotten up by now and was heading down the hallway. When he reached the living room he saw his gap toothed son, trying to put together one of his latest gadgets.
"What is going on in here?" Splinter demanded, causing his sons to jump and look over at him.
"Oh Sensei hi," Michelangelo said, with a nervous laugh.
"Michelangelo what did you do this time?" Splinter asked, giving his youngest son a look.
"He accidentally bumped into my turbo booster that I made for the Shell Raiser," Donatello said, as he snapped the final piece together. "But don't worry I fixed it its all good." Donatello hated getting anyone in trouble so he made it sound like it wasn't a big deal.
"Sorry I made so much noise Sensei," Michelangelo said, lowering his blue eyes in shame.
"It is alright my son," Splinter said, putting his hands on his orange masked son's shoulders. "But you must be more careful around your brother's things."
"Hei Sensei," Michelangelo said, with a bow.
"Perhaps we should do some exercises to better help you concentrate on not breaking things," Splinter said.
"Exercises?" Michelangelo said, with a groan. "Aww man do I have to?"
"They will make your skills stronger Michelangelo," Splinter said, with a small smile. "Come let us go to the dojo and we will start now. The rest of you may go back to what you were doing before."
"Sensei would it be alright if I joined you and Mikey?" Leonardo asked, running up to his father and brother.
"Yes that would be fine Leonardo," Splinter said. This request didn't surprise the ninja master. His oldest son was always eager to learn as much as he could to strengthen his skills. "In fact if Raphael and Donatello wish to join us I feel it would be most beneficiary."
"Ah man thanks a lot Leo," Raphael muttered, as he put down his comic book and went to join the others. The red masked turtle looked over and saw Donatello doing the same. Both brothers knew that they didn't have to join in but it would please Splinter more if they did and they would do anything to please him. So the four brothers went into the dojo to practice their ninja skills.

Meanwhile across town in an abandoned warehouse a man wearing a armored suit and mask with blades was plotting. This man was Oroku Saki or as he was better know as, The Shredder. And Shredder was furious to say the least. Just two day ago he had sent his Foot bots down to the local dock to steal some much needed supplies. Only the turtles had interfered once again and stopped them. He knew he was going to need help. So he called in reinforcements. A very larger Bangle Tiger was approaching carrying an assortment of weapons with him. "Ah Tiger Claw right on time," Shredder said, as Tiger Claw kneeled before him.
"You said you had need of me Master," Tiger Claw said as he stood. "I am at your service."
"Yes Tiger Claw I am in need of you," Shredder said, as he stood. "But we have other guests to wait on." Then as if on cue a mutant wolf with brown and white fur came into the room along with a purple skinned mutant fish with mechanical legs. They were lead by a young teenage girl with dark hair and brown eyes.
"Ah Karai there you are," Shredder said, motioning for the teen to come forward.
"I found them Father," Karai said, as she kneeled before the Shredder.
"So I see," Shredder said, motioning for his daughter to stand. "Bradford Xever I have a job for you."
"What can we do Master?" Chris Bradford or as he was better know as, Dog-Pound, asked kneeling before his master.
"We are at your service," Xever or he was now known as, Fishface, said.
"You all have a mission that you cannot fail at," Shredder said.
"Let me guess," Karai said, looking at her father. "It involves Hamato Yoshi and his so called sons."
"You are partially right Karai," Shredder said. "I want you to lure those turtles into a trap."
"You wish us to kill them?" Tiger Claw asked, inching to get some action in.
"No," Shredder said, causing everyone to look at him.
"But Father I thought you wanted them dead," Karai said, confused.
"I do Karai," Shredder said. "But first I want them to suffer. I want them to pay for what they've done to us. Most of all Hamato Yoshi."
"What do you want us to do Master?" Fishface asked.
"I want to trap the turtles and bring them to me," Shredder commanded. "I have special plans for them."
"Yes Master," Dog-Pound, Fishface and Tiger Claw said together.
"Yes Father," Karai said, with a bow.
"Now go," Shredder commanded. With that his minions were off. Shredder turned towards the window and looked out it laughing evilly to himself. "Soon I will have my revenge," he muttered. "Soon vengeance will be mine!" With that Shredder unsheathed his blades and swiped the metal pole, leaving long marks down them. Then the armor clad man went to wait for his minions to return.

Meanwhile back in the sewers the turtles had just finished their exercises and were looking forward to some down time. But unfortunately for them this would not be the case. Soon a loud beeping sound went ringing through the air. This sound came from their hand held communicators or T-coms as they were called. Sighing Leonardo said, "Well so much for our down time." With that he saw that it was their friend, Casey Jones that was calling. Leonardo answered, "Casey what's up?"
"Leo dude you guys gotta get down to the lower East Side," came Casey's panicked voice "Dog-Pound and Fishface are here and I'm like seriously outnumbered."
"We're on our way Casey," Leonardo said, closing his T-com and standing up. "Casey's in trouble," the blue masked turtle informed his brothers, as he grabbed his katanas and put them in their holders on his back. "He's at the lower East Side and Dog-Pound and Fishface are there."
"Then let's go already!" Raphael shouted, grabbing his sais and putting them in their holders at his side. Michelangelo grabbed his nunchakus while Donatello grabbed his bo staff. With that the four brother began to head out the door.
"Be careful my sons," Splinter called as he watched his sons leave.
"We will Sensei," Leonardo declared. "C'mon guys lets do this." With that Splinter watched as his sons climbed in the Shell Raiser and took off.

A little while later Splinter was enjoying a cup of tea as he waited for his sons to return. Just then the turtles' good friends April O'Neil and Casey Jones entered.
"Oh hi Master Splinter," April said, with a smile. "Are the guys here?"
"No they are not," Splinter replied. Then he looked at Casey and said, "I thought they had received a call from you Casey saying you needed help."
"From me?" Casey said, his black eyes widening in surprise. "No way. I lost my T-com earlier. That's what I was coming to talk to Donnie about getting me a new one."
"This is most troubling," Splinter said. "If you did not call them then someone else did."
"But who?" April asked. "And why?"
"Obviously it was to lure my sons into a trap," Splinter said, his eyes darkening at the thought of someone hurting his sons.
"Don't worry Sensei," April said, putting her hand on Splinter's shoulder. "I'm sure the guys are ok."
"Yeah," Casey put in, trying to sound reassuring. "I'm sure they'll be calling you any.." Then as if on cue Splinter's T-com began to ring.
"It is them," Splinter announced as he opened his T-com. Then he heard...
