Author's Note: First off, happy International Day of Slash! I just learned of this holiday and I had to do something for it, so I decided to post my Turtleslash story here!

So, I bet a lot of my normal readers are looking at this and going, 'WTF?' Well, yeah, I can understand why. But I'm out about it; I like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I like Slash; I also like to combine things that I like! And this is the outcome. Especially since I like dark things and the Dark Clones are the greatest things that came out of the Fast Forward series (it had one good thing at least).

So this will be updated whenever. I already have the first five chapters posted at the LiveJournal community, you know which one I mean. ;) So if you don't want to wait, go read there! And those who are coming from that wonderful community, yeah, I combined the first two preludes for this chapter to make it a bit longer.

Oh, my other Sladin stories will still be updated! Do not worry about my sudden switch of Fandoms. I still love SladeRobin and other such pairings, I just need to work with something that isn't human but still dark so I can be able to write dark, angsty human things once again. But do feel free to read this fic as well, trust me; the Turtle Fandom does not disappoint!

Chapter Summary: And it begins.

The greatest thing about being an evil clone, Mikey's evil clone had realized one day, was that he could do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. Which meant that he no longer got beaten up by the rest of his brothers as much, seeing as they didn't need to fight for food anymore.

When they were hungry, they robbed some grocery store and got out of there before the peace keepers came. When they wanted something new, they robbed another store to get it and were satisfied with that. And when they wanted sex, they got it by whatever ways they could.

He was an extremely lucky clone though, because he had his own boyfriend and he knew exactly how to get sex from him.

"Leon," he cooed as he nudged his older clone-brother's door open. "I got you a new book on plants!" He didn't know why Leon was so obsessed with plants all of a sudden, but he wasn't going to argue with it if he could use it to obtain sex. "Can I have a blowjob for being a good little boyfriend?"

"Boyfriend, eh? Oh, Leon, that's so precious," Leon's bedroom door was shoved the rest of the way open, revealing the occupants to Michael as he stood in the doorway, holding the stolen book to his chest.

"Since when did you figure that Michael had the mind capacity to understand what a boyfriend was?" Michael gulped as he hesitantly took a step back, away from the purple clone. "Come now, Michael, don't let me interrupt you and your boyfriend, please come in."

"Leon," Michael cried as he ducked into the room and quickly sprinted away from the purple turtle to the disgruntled looking blue one.

"Donald, I've told you to leave Michael alone before and I expect--"

"Yes, and now I know why you suddenly started to stand up for the insignificant fool. Well, I understand your motivations now." Donald grinned, his tail flicking in the air behind him. "As I expect you to understand what I was saying before your boy toy arrived," he glanced at Michael and loved the shiver he earned; the youngest clone would always be afraid of him. "So, do we have a deal?"

Leon growled and crossed his arms over his large chest. "I want you out of my room, now."

"Rafieo agrees with me." Donald argued. "He wants one of the turtles as his own as well, in fact, he wants his," he motioned to Michael, "original. If we only took two of them then the peace keepers would have less motivation to intrude."

"But the other two brothers would have more motivation to find us and defeat us." Leon frowned and shook his head. "It won't work; they're stronger than us--"

"We were designed to be stronger than them!"

"—because they work as a team." Leon finished. "We will never get along as well as they do and we will never be as strong as them because of it."

Donald frowned. "Did you learn that in one of your new meditation books? You're not your original, Leon, and you'll never be like him." He turned around and gripped Leon's door. "Just like I'll never be my original because my original would listen to his leader," he slammed the door shut.

Michael looked at Leon and gently placed a hand on his shoulder. "What's going on?" Leon glanced down at him, his bionic eye flashing red, a tell-tale sign that he was upset.

"Nothing for you to be concerned about, Michael," Leon assured.

"But Donald knows that we're a couple now," Michael frowned. "That's bad."

"That's not as big of a problem as we thought it would be. Apparently, he wants his original to be his, ah, boyfriend." Leon sat down on the edge of his bed and Michael quickly took a spot next to him.

"And Rafieo wants my original as his boyfriend?" Michael asked. Leon nodded. "Well, that's not bad, right? We can all be happy like that. And someone can even take my old room since I barely use it now."

"That's generous of you, Michael," Leon turned and cupped the yellow turtle's face. "But the thing is, the originals don't want to be here and they don't want to date us."

"Oh," Michael frowned even as he leaned into the touch. "So…this is bad?"

"And it's only going to get worse."

It couldn't possibly get worse, Raph decided. He stood off against his dark clone in the abandoned part of town and for a brief moment wondered why the future still had abandoned places. His attention was quickly snapped back to present matters as he watched Don's clone hold up Leo who looked like he had been run over by an old fashioned lawn mower.

Raph growled, he knew that it had been a set up when Mikey had found that cheesy advertisement about classic comics for only 'true fans and VIPs only' and Cody couldn't confirm such an event ever taking place in the particular spot. But Mikey couldn't resist the temptation and they certainly weren't going to let their baby brother walk into something by himself, especially not in the future in a city that was slowly getting use to being run by someone other than Darrius Dun.

If Cody hadn't been called off because of some sort of emergency then they probably could have been warned that this part of town, called 'Abandoned Row' for obvious reasons, was condemned for demolition soon and that no events had taken place even near it in decades.

But Mikey had to run through the door with the lame neon sign proclaiming that the convention was held within. And then he had to leave the haunting image of running out of the dark building, his face pale, only to be grabbed by two red hands and pulled quickly back into the darkness, screaming for help as the door closed behind him.

"Don," Leo had shouted and Raph had been able to tell that he was panicked since his voice squeaked a bit. "Is there any other way to get into this building?" And of course there was and Raph should have guessed that the spot they were standing on was going to collapse under their feet.

Don had hit his head and he was out cold, leaving Raph and Leo the task of finding a way out of the cellar they had found themselves in while carrying him. Luckily, they had made it to a higher level floor with a few hanging lights that seemed like quite a blast from the past as they flickered off and on.

And of course, that was when the lights had to go out and Raph had felt himself being picked up and thrown out of one of the windows that hadn't offered up any light, useless things.

When his clone had crashed through the building's wall and tackled him, Raph instantly knew that his clone had gotten stronger. Fighting him for a while, he was positive that his clone was stronger. Which brought him to where he was now; his clone improved, his brothers all down, and another clone facing off against him as well.

"What gives?" Raph asked, his Sais out in front of him as he kept himself at the ready, eyeing the two clones. "Just the two of ya now?"

"Our brothers were fine living their lives as they are now, the naïve fools." Don's clone spoke up as he continued to hold Leo by his throat. The way Leo wasn't moving started to worry Raph that he was possibly dead, not just knocked out. "But luckily, my brother here and I have similar goals containing your two siblings. So, we offer you a deal, since it seems like the medications I made to my brother still aren't enough to be able to defeat you.

"It's your choice," Don's evil clone explained. "You can have this brother back," he motioned with Leo, waving his limp body around like he was a flag. "And be satisfied enough with him not to look for your other siblings, ever, after you leave here. Or I can crush his air tubes, causing him to slowly suffocate without any hope of survival, and you can try to fight us, only to be killed as well, and know that your remaining siblings will still remain with us. So, what are you going to do?"

Raph growled, clenching his Sais tight enough to hear the high-tech base crunch a bit under his hands.

"The choice is really simple; you can keep one brother or loose them all. I know you're not the brightest turtle, but even you should be able to figure out that one is better than none." Don's clone grinned as his long tail flicked behind him.

Raph knew that Leo would never let Mikey or Don be sacrificed for himself but Raph couldn't stand any of his brothers suffering. "Why don't ya take me instead? Leave my brothers alone and take me."

"We don't wan' you." Raph's clone stated, smirking. "Nothing personal,"

"You're taking too long to decide for something so easy. I'm choosing for you now," Don's clone growled and pulled his arm back, hefting Leo over his shoulder, and then quickly threw Leo up into the air.

"Leo!" Raph cried out, terrified, and quickly ran to be under his brother.

Just as Leo was about to hit the ground, Raph dove and caught him. Checking for a pulse, Raph was relieved to find one and to see that Leo was mostly just banged up, probably cheap shots like the entire setup had been. Placing Leo gently down onto the ground, Raph turned around in time to see the dark clones hover car take off and disappear.

"Fuck," Raph knew that things were really bad now.
