Hello all! This is my contest entry. It is inspired by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993). It is a loose adaptation.

Here's the description I put on my Flickr photos:
SPOILERS BELOWMy entry into the FBTB TMNT vignette contest. It is inspired by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993). I chose to use that movie as my inspiration because I have fond memories of watching it as a child. This vignette depicts the scene in which the turtles come forward in time to return home. More specifically, it is the part where Mikey must return by unspecified other means after missing the return window. I included the scepter in old Japan, where Mikey is, and one in April's hands. The room itself is a combination of two rooms within the turtles' abandoned subway base from TMNT III. The room 1 modeled it after is the subway platform which contains Master Splinter's subway car-home. There are also, in the film, sewers which connect to the subway station. I couldn't tell you why if I wanted to. Anyhow, one of those sewer areas is circular with a ladder leading up to a manhole cover. I just put the ladder and manhole cover on the subway platform. Splinter is standing in the subway car, if you missed it. New Yorkers/Bostoners/Anywhere-else-with-a-subway-system-ers: note the subway-accurate yellow strip at the edge of the platform. I would have used a plate but that would have restricted the doors on the subway cars. Also, the manhole cover appearing in the grassy field in Japan is my interpretation of what it looked like: Mikey doesn't actually see that in the movie.
EDIT: Just realized I forgot to compliment everyone who's entered so far! So many great entries. My personal favorite is the "Without Honor."
