I’m Probably Completely And Entirely Wrong But I’ve Had This Theory About The Day The World Broke

I’m probably completely and entirely wrong but I’ve had this theory about the day the world broke for weeks and now there are other mutant turtles so imma just spill.

So we know that the turtles had biological parents in dimension z, they were just too young or not fit to be parents so Splinter took them in from cps. But what if they weren’t the only kids? What if they had siblings and their mom just dropped them at a different place? Or didn’t get the chance to cause she got caught by their biological father?

This all stemmed from the one dream Leo had about living with his biological parents. It was so weird to me that Leo had these clear images of what his parents looked and acted like despite the fact that Raph admits in other chapters they didn’t remember anything but yelling and the playground they were abandoned at. While shredder could have made this up, how did create such a clear image into that reality. While he did create other dreams that didn’t happen directly to Leo, the Shredder still saw Riley through the scientists eyes and was in the police station lab and that one house they stayed in. He can clearly go through memories but Leo doesn’t have any of his biological parents or their house(unless it just wasn’t mentioned).

So here’s my theory. Shredder did see that memory just not through Leo. He saw it through one of the siblings that was stuck in the house with their abusive biological father. This would explain the vivid detail, the fears and memories provided in the dream.

The mutants in the cells may seem identical to the brothers but that’s just because they’re siblings(maybe perhaps Kirby, Venus, and/or the last ronin kids). These mutants are younger (like 15-13) so it makes sense that they are the secondaries to the older primaries. But how do they relate to the Shredder.

I’m not sure what it is about the brothers specific mutagenic dna but there has to be something significant there that I imagine is like a rare mutation within the mutants. But TCRI knows it’s them and specifically them. And they need whatever that weird property is to make a pocket dimension for … God knows why🤷. One problem with knowing their targets, they are minors and already are under watch from cps due to being abandoned as children. So you can imagine it’s a little harder to slip under that branch of the government noses.

But what a stroke of luck it would be that they manage to uncover the original house they were born into? What an easy backdoor it would be if, upon doing some further research, you find what appears to be biological siblings with very obscure medical records, a drugged mom, and a drunk dad? That would be insanely sad but great for TCRI know wouldn’t it?

Well in my theory they are that lucky and manage to successfully kidnap and contain all of for of them with barely anyone noticing. God that’s sick. And not cool sick like you are satanic sick.

Anywho so they go to make a pocket dimension, do whatever science shit they need to and stuff. But after a long and grueling experiment for both the anticipators for this project’s success and its subjects, they failed. No reaction other than physical and mental trauma on the mutant siblings and a messed up lab. Or so they think.

Little did those psychos know they just opened a big enough portal for shredder to crawl out of and into one of the siblings. After wandering around in that turtles body and mind for a little bit(a month) he realized that he can’t use this body to do anything and the kid has basically already given up in insane grief and shock(poor bb im so sorry but someone had to get the short end of the stick(im talking to the turtle)). Shredder finds a way to piggyback on something or someone hoping to cause chaos in the facility but accidentally gets shipped off to none other than Deer Creek.

As we know Steven didn’t receive the Shredder until after the failed phase but it seemed like he was obviously still in contact with a very much so still running TCRI. Even with TCRI on lock down during the invasion they probably had pretty recent shipments going back n forth right before this plan to create a pocket was put into effect. In one of these shipments is the lingering demon, the Shredder with a new toy to play with and a feast for the flesh and pain he will soon scavenge to find leading to his jump to poor Leo.

I am so sorry that this was so long and convoluted but I really wanted to get this idea out so I could stop obsessing over the possibility of it happening. @saladmix your fanfic is amazing and I am waiting with open arms for these new turtles to be properly introduced even if they are just mutant mayhem or directly clones cause that is badass too. If you sat to read through all of this I appreciate it.
