"Life Mission: Save My Brothers" is a Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles separated AU (alternate universe) where it explores on the concept that Splinter saved only one turtle after the mutation process: Leo. The other turtles are separated in the world: Raph was brought to and raised by Big Mama to be a Battle Nexus Champion, Mikey was taken by Draxum and trained to become a warrior to combat humans for the Yokai to take over the surface, and Donnie was thought to be dead but was taken in by a mob until he ran away and found Big Mama at the age of 7. Their story involves their process of finding out that they are not alone, that they have family, and how they reunite and become the ninjas they were always meant to be.
LEONARDO
"The blue Ninja"Leo is the only turtle that Splinter managed to save. Since he was a young boy, he knew that his brothers were missing and that his father searched high and low for them. After finding out that he lost hope, Leo took it upon himself to continue his father's search and make it his life's mission to bring his brothers home.

RAPHAEL
"The Red Knight"Raph was brought to Big Mama after he got mutated. She saw this as an opportunity to make another Battle Nexus Champion and trained him since he was a small turtle. He doesn't want to fight anyone, but keeps his fears hidden to appease Big Mama. Because of his title, people avoided befriending him and is usually kept alone. He feels lonely a lot and finds solace in gifts Big Mama would reward him with like plushies and Lou Jitsu movies.

MICHELANGELO
"The Orange Titan"Mikey was taken by Baron Draxum as his lab collapsed during his fight with Lou Jitsu. Draxum trained him to become a fierce warrior to protect the Yokai against humans and honed his mystic skills to the point of mastery. Mikey sees Draxum as a father figure but Draxum keeps his distance from him to avoid his softness for Mikey. As a result, Mikey often rebels against Draxum by making art, an expression Draxum forbade as he connected it to humans.

DONATELLO
"The Purple Tinkerer"Donnie was thought to be dead because of an accident after the turtles were mutated. Luckily, he lived, but was found by a tech mob called The Purple Dragons that made his early life difficult. He ran away at the age of 8 and met Big Mama who saw his potential as a tech genius. She made him feel welcome and at home in exchange for making tech for her and Battle Nexus. Donnie was taught that being a turtle would be dangerous for him so he keeps it under wraps and hides his true self whenever he's outside his room.
