Chapter 3
Soon after the events prior, Mikey received a small, yet comfortable room. With the space given, they already began decorating the place with paint and posters, all till' about three in the morning. They were exhausted, does no yokai sleep at night? How could there be so many out. Mikey collapsed to his bed, staring long fully at the ceiling.
'Have I made the right choice..' thought the turtle, rolling onto his side.. "maybe not.. it's too late now.." Mikey sighed.. suddenly, he heard a bunch of commotion..
Miles sat atop a rooftop on his phone, one of his legs hanging off of the edge. The boy would hum, noticing that he had a variety of missed calls by his father. ",Great..", miles groaned and sat up.. he stretched a bit before speaking, "Play times over, I guess.." He'd mutter, taking a few steps back. Suddenly, he tripped over a sturdy wire, causing him to stumble back. Miles made a small attempt to balance himself; but nonetheless, fell off of the building, into a large trashcan.
Miles shouted as he shut his eyes, but took a while to hit the ground, which was surprising; but once he did he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. They boy struggled to sit up right; and looked around..
He found himself in a completely different place, which terrified him! There were monster like creatures everywhere.. "what the f...--" miles helped himself up, looking around. '..This is weird-- I've seen worst though.." miles furrowed his brows, putting his hoodie up.. the creatures stared at him, whispering. Miles, not too frightened by this, began to investigate.
Miles turned to look at a nearby yokai before he bumped into one of the hidden city police, "what the--" they were caught off guard by the human, "A HUMAN!" the yokai growled, causing heads to turn..
Miles backed away and gave a nervous look, "Heyy..! Nice-- things?" Miles backed away, before running due to fear and adrenaline. The yokai called for the human; as others watched him run for dear life .. he slipped a bit before he could hear footsteps, and what sounded like sirens.. the boy was then pulled behind a building by a boy in a hood, before miles could speak, he was sushed..
The hidden city police passed by, giving miles enough time to run, but then; he paused to look back at the stranger who helped him..
"Hey um-- t- thanks!" Miles laughed, nervously..
The stranger and removed the hoodie and smiled, ".. What are you doing here, you're a human-- how'd you even get down here!". To litteraly no-ones surprise, it was Mikey! Miles stared at the others before wincing, "w- what even is this place-- how'd I get here?" "how am I supposed to know?"
Micheal scoffed before sighing . "S- sorry, im- I'm Michealangelo, friends and family call me Mikey.. you?" The mutant smiled, before hesitantly, miles introduced himself. "Im-- miles?.. why do you seem so calm, those other-- things seem suprised --- I'm literally running from the police-!"
"'Im used to humans. I- I used to be a hero, with my brothers and all, to protect New york- but!--..im over it.." Mikey fell silent, he suddenly looked up, "..Lets go! I'll get you somewhere safe." He smiled before leading miles away, and with no other choice but to trust this mutant, miles followed.
"Where are we going? Is it actually gonna be safe?"
"..Well-- Kinda of I- if we don't get caught, I'm stayin' somewhere at the moment."
"Kind of!?" Miles panicked, "relax! We'll be fine, a little bit of hiding until this all blows over, and the boom! You'll be free to leave!--" "Okay, you promise?" "of course!" A smile formed on micheals face .. "Now don't act suspicious! We'll sneak past a few yokai, no biggie! A-.. problem will form when we actually get to the place i-- I just follow me!"
He'd shout, before dragging miles out from the shade; Mikey happened to sneak Miles just near the lab, but miles stopped near one of the stores; it was one of those stores broadcasting the news on those small TV's.. Miles was.. wanted? His eyes widened as his heart sunk, there was a bounty on him!
"..Oh my gosh--..they really must not like me.." he uttered, before he was grabbed by Mikey. "What were you doing come--" Micheal paused once his eyes were set on the broadcasting; they would curse under their breath. "L- let's go. Looks like you're gonna be here longer than needed.." Mikey laughed nervously, miles didn't find this humorous at all! They'd enter draxums lab.. huh.. it was empty? Dead silent.
"..what is this place.."
Miles said aloud, "..A lavatory.. i- don't want to dive deeper into it. Follow me!"
Mikey led miles to the new given room and sighed, "look, stay here!" He'd smile..
"You'll be safe-- until this whole thing washes over!" The mutant assured.. Miles nods, as Mikey was distracted mumbling and talking about what they should do for the time being.. miles looked around and smiled, noticing that Mikey was a very artistic kid..
"..hey Mikey." Morales' called, picking up one of Mikey's sketch pads."..I like your artwork!" Mikey paused, looking back at the other.. ".. Thanks!" Mikey would smile, staggering closing to miles..
I guess, this was their reality till' things were sorted out..
