I Love Being a Rainboom

by Wildcard25


Turtle Friends Forever

Later that night back in the Turtles lair, the ninjas, Rainbooms, their human allies, Princess Twilight, Starlight, the Justice Force, the Utrom Council, the two Traximus', Zeno, 03 Leatherhead, and even Angel was invited to join them in celebrating their victory over Ch'Rell, Subprime, and Bixolio.

The turtles and the Rainbooms were enjoying the mountains of pizza they ordered out, “Oh, man, I'm gonna miss this world's pizza.” Mikey said, as he stuffed a slice in his mouth.

“Pizza always tastes different in another world.” Keno admitted, before eating a slice.

“And I'll miss beating up the Purple Dragons in this world.” Raph admitted.

“No kidding. I mean the Dragons here sure pack a punch.” Casey said.

“Well, as much as we'd all like you to stay longer, you are needed back in your own world.” Leonardo said, as he and his brothers joined them.

“Yeah. And Starlight, Spike, and I need to get back to Equestria as well. The new semester at the School of Friendship will be starting soon.” Princes Twilight added.

“And I'm sure we've had enough excitement for awhile.” Rarity said, as the Rainbooms agreed.

“Still it was pretty awesome how we all took Shredder down.” Michelangelo said excitedly.

“Pretty awesome?” Rainbow asked, “It was totally awesome!”

Splinter approached, “You all did well. Despite your differences you all worked together and achieved victory.”

“And I thought we were the superheroes.” Silver Sentry humored them.

“And because of all of you we finally have Kraang Subprime in custody.” Bishop put in.

“Hopefully with him locked up that'll be the end of the Kraang.” April said.

“We can only hope.” Karai replied.


Over by the CMC, they were discussing with Angel what they had done in the fight. Angel laughed, “No way! You three got to pilot robot walkers?”

“We sure did.” Scootaloo confirmed.

“It was amazing.” Sweetie Belle said.

“Too bad we couldn't keep them.” Apple Bloom sighed.

“Where would we even keep them?” Sweetie Belle asked rhetorically.

“Good point.” Apple Bloom admitted.

“I really wish there was a way to stay in touch, but I don't think we get reception outside our dimension.” Angel said.

“Don't worry, Angel. We'll come back one day.” Apple Bloom assured her.

“Yeah, at least when our sisters let us tag along.” Sweetie Belle said.

Angel smiled, “I'd really like that.” she brought the CMC closer for a group hug, which they returned.


Over by the Mutanimals, the group of mutants were getting to know Croc Leatherhead, especially their Leatherhead.

“I'm terribly sorry for what the Kraang did to you, Leatherhead,” Croc Leatherhead began, “Hearing that makes me the lucky one.”

“Though my beginning was not so happy I am proud to see how far I've come.” Leatherhead admitted.

“And we're glad to have him.” Slash added, as he and Mondo put their arms around him.

Leatherhead continued, “And your work with the Utrom is very inspiring. Perhaps I should consider studying with them myself to better understand them.”

“It would be good for you.” Croc Leatherhead recommended.

“Hey, you Mutanimals better get your grub on before it's gone!” Jones called out to the mutant team.

“You heard the vigilante.” Rockwell said, as they went to enjoy the pizza with their friends.


The group enjoyed their partying until Rainbow spoke up, “Alright, listen up ninjas, heroes, aliens, and mutants. The girls and I have a special treat for you all. We hope you enjoy it.”

The group saw the Rainbooms take position on a platform before everyone with their instruments in hand.

“1! 2! 3! 4!” Pinkie cheered, as the group began jamming.

(2003 Turtles Theme song)

The girls rocked out, as their allies were rocking along with them. At the mention of each of their names, each of the turtles expressed pride in what they were recognized as. The girls rocked, as their friends and allies danced to the rhythm. Rainbow slid forward delivering a final guitar riff, and everyone applauded on their show.

“Now that was awesome!” Michelangelo cheered.

“It sure was.” O'Neil agreed.

“That's our girls!” Fugitoid said on behalf of himself and his mutant friends.

“Yeah!” the two Spike's cheered.


Later on after the party, everyone including O'Neil and Jones left for their homes and places. After cleaning up after the party, Splinter had gathered his sons, their counterparts, the Rainbooms, Fugiotid, and the rest of their friends to the training area where they were all in the lotus position and began meditating.

“Focus. Focus.” Splinter instructed, as he concentrated with them.

“What're we doing again?” Casey whispered to April.

“Just focus, Casey.” April whispered back not wanting to break concentration.

The group focused, until they felt as if they entered another plane of existence. They opened their eyes and sure enough found themselves standing in a void.

“Whoa.” the CMC gasped.

“Where are we?” Starlight asked.

“Another plane of existence,” Splinter answered, “I meditate here many times to clear my head, and keep connected to those I love and lost.”

Leo pieced his words together, “Wait a minute, does that mean...”

“It does, Leonardo.” came another voice.

The Rainbooms, the turtles, and Mutanimals gasped, as they saw appearing before them was their rat master.

“Master Splinter!” The turtles and Rainbooms cheered, as they all raced over and embraced them.

“My sons. It is good to see you all. And the rest of my family.” Splinter smiled at the Rainbooms and their friends.

“Sensei, we just kicked the butt of another Shredder!” Mikey cheered.

“But we're guessing you already know.” Sunset said.

“Indeed. And I could not be more proud of you all than I already am,” Splinter answered, before noticing their allies. His eyes fell on Starlight who was curious, "And you must be Starlight Glimmer."

"I am," Starlight smiled, "And it's an honor to finally meet you."

"You have come a long way since your reformation."

"I have," Starlight nodded, "And I'm grateful for what Princess Twilight and all my friends have taught me about friendship. And to the Turtles for training me like you taught them. You should be proud."

"I always was," Splinter replied warmly, "And now I am proud of you."

Starlight smiled and hugged Splinter. Then the rat looked at the CMC, "And you three must be Apple Bloom. Sweetie Belle. And Scootaloo. Your sisters and Rainbow Dash told me about you."

"They told you about us?" Apple Bloom asked.

Splinter nodded, "They told me you three were spirited young ones. Much like myself at that age, as well as my sons."

"Well, the Rainbooms and the turtles told us so much about you too." Sweetie Belle said.

"How you fought the Shredder." Scootaloo added.

"And now our sisters are finally training us to be awesome ninjas like them!" Apple Bloom added.

"Keep up with your training, and someday, you will," Splinter stated.

The CMC beamed and bowed to ninja master, "Hai, Master Splinter."

The other Turtles and their Splinter looked at him in wonder, “Wow, he really is taller.” Michelangelo admitted.

Splinter turned to see them and his counterpart. The two rat men approached before greeting each other in Japanese before bowing their heads to one another.

“You have trained your sons very well, Splinter-san.” Splinter told his counterpart.

“As have you, Splinter-san,” 03 Splinter replied, while smiling, “I could not believe when your sons told me in their world I am actually my master Yoshi.”

Splinter nodded, “Indeed, just as I was surprised to discover in this world I was a regular rat while mimicking the moves of what could've been my human self.”

“The worlds are indeed different, but no matter how different the similarities are what binds us.” came another voice as appearing before them was an adult man with dark hair. To the Rainbooms and their friends, this man was a stranger. But to the Splinter and Turtles of this dimension, he was familiar.

“Master.” 03 Splinter smiled.

“Master?” the Turtles asked.

The man turned to the group, “Greetings, my friends. I am Hamato Yoshi; ninja master, and guardian of the Utrom.”

“Whoa. This is this world's Hamato Yoshi?” Donnie asked in surprise.

“He's so handsome.” Rarity marveled, as the rest of the Rainbooms rolled their eyes.

“I'm glad to have a chance to meet all of you,” Yoshi began, as he approached the ninjas and Rainbooms, “You all fought hard and brave against my sworn enemy the Shredder. And you were victorious because you relied on your teamwork and friendship, some of the very keys of being part of an honorable and noble clan.”

“Coming from you of all people means a lot.” Leo said, as he and his brothers bowed their heads followed by the the Rainbooms, and their friends.

Yoshi smiled, as he turned to his former pet rat, and the counterpart, “Even though I lost my clan and the love of my life like before, I am glad to see I have passed on the wisdom I've learned from my father the Ancient One to many promising young ninja until my own passing.”

Splinter nodded, “Yes, for I look at you and my rat counterpart I see both sides of myself in the form of both of you.”

“And you are everything we are combined.” 03 Splinter said.

Pinkie spoke to the group, “So is our Splinter a counterpart of their Splinter or Master Yoshi?”

“Let's just say he's both theirs.” Karai answered.

Yoshi and Splinter looked to the entire group, “The bond of friendship you've all forged during your alliance has proved no matter what universe you are from your hearts all beat as one.” Yoshi began.

“And may this new friendship stand the test of time as do all friendships you've made with all those you hold dear to you.” Splinter said.

“Hai, sensei!” they all answered.

“And remember, we're always watching over you.” Yoshi said.

“Goodbye our families. We love you all.” Splinter said, as he and Yoshi vanished, and everyone woke up back in the lair.

Everyone looked at each other smiling while shedding a few tears of happiness. Mikey hugged Donnie who hugged him back, as Fluttershy hugged Rarity, and Sunset hugged Fugitoid.


The next day on a roof top, the Turtles, Splinter, April, and Casey of the world looked upon their counterparts, the Rainbooms, and their friends.

“It's been an honor fighting along side you all.” Leonardo shook Leo's hand.

“Same to you guys.” he replied.

Both Twilight's hugged Leonardo, “Thanks for all you've done for us.” Twilight began.

“We'll never forget you.” Princess Twilight said, as Leonardo hugged them back.

Mikey embraced his counterpart with Pinkie Pie, “Goodbye, other Mikey!” Pinkie bawled.

“I'll always remember ya, dude.” Mikey cried.

“I'll remember you guys too!” Michelangelo cried.

Raphael rolled his eyes, before Raph spoke, “So, uh, guess we'll be seein' ya?”

“Yeah, whateva.” Raphael replied.

Fluttershy approached Raphael and hugged him, “We both will miss you. Even if one of us has a hard time admitting it.” she motioned to Raph who tried to look away.

Rainbow and Applejack approached, “You may be temperamental like our Raph.” Rainbow began, which got Raphael growling, until Applejack finished.

“But ya care about yer family. And in this group family and friends matter the most.”

Raphael ceased his growling and smirked, “Got that right.”

The two Donnie's shook hands, “Keep being the smart turtle you've always been, Don.” Donnie began.

“You too, Donnie.” Donatello answered.

Rarity hugged Donatello, “You should look into coming to our world some day, we'll show you all our favorite places. And we got good electronics stores as well.”

Donatello smiled, “I'll keep that in mind.”

April hugged her adult self, “I'm glad I got to meet you, April.” the younger one began.

“Right back at ya,” Adult April replied, and whispered,“And make sure you keep those boys in line.”

Young April smiled, “They'd be lost without me.” the two laughed.

Casey and Keno were saying their goodbyes to Jones, “I'll say it again, dude. You are metal.” Casey told his adult self.

“To the max.” Keno added.

“Thanks. You guys got plenty of heart yourselves.” Jones patted their shoulders.

“And here. A little something for ya.” Casey handed his adult self some of his exploding pucks.

“Oh, sweet!” Jones cheered.

Sunset hugged Splinter, “Thank you for all your words of wisdom, sensei.”

“Anytime, my child,” Splinter answered before turning the Mutanimals, Karai, Shini, Starlight, Fugitoid, and the CMC, “May all of you continue to look out for one another as my sons and I have always done for those close to us.”

“No problem, rat-sensei.” Mondo gave a thumbs up.

“We'd do anything for our friends.” Mona added.

“As they've always done for us.” Fugitoid added.

“And we'll take your knowledge and spread it to even Equestria.” Starlight promised.

“And we'll spread it to all our friends as well.” Apple Bloom said.

“That's a promise.” Shini added, as Karai smiled and nodded.

So once again they stood off to the side, as Splinter continued, “Go with care and always remember these important lessons of being a ninja. Live by the Code of the Martial Arts.”

Leonardo continued, "Never start a fight unless someone else starts."

"Always stick together no matter what." Donnie added.

"And if all else fails…" Michelangelo trailed.

"Then you gotta kick butt!" Raph smirked.

The group smiled knowing they could remember that. Donnie activated his portal Ray projecting a portal home, “Good thing we had the Utrom Council transport our rides back to our lair.” he said.

“So we ready to go?” Rainbow asked.

“We're ready.” Leo confirmed.

As the group walked toward the portal, they turned back to the group of this world and smiled before throwing a fist up announcing, “It's Ninja Time!”

The 03 Turtles smiled and threw their own fists up announcing, “Booyakasha!”

The turtles, Rainbooms, and their friends entered the portal that closed upon their departure, “I'm really gonna miss those guys.” Michelangelo told his bros.

“We all will.” Leo replied.

“But we'll never forget them, just like we know they'd never forget us.” Donnie said.

“I couldn't forget any of them, even if I wanted too.” Raph added.

“Come, my family. Let's go home.” Splinter said, as they all headed back knowing this had been one of the greatest team ups they've ever been a part of.
