This is early stages of a story scenario for my fan story TMNT What IF. I haven't felt super motivated to continue working on it, but due to popular demand I have decided to share what I have.
Keep in mind that English is not my first language and I am not used to write stories so there will be grammatical errors and very messy sketches.

Story summary
A normal day in the turtles lair suddenly turns upside down when, Renet the Timestress shows up to tell Leonardo that he is needed elsewhere.
The lair, the sounds of old arcade machines, the dripping sound of water, the smell of yesterdays pizza is hanging in the air. It's quiet, everyone's busy with their own things. Don is in his lab/ garage working on some new invention, Mikey and Raph said they would be doing some arrens above ground.
Me well, I'm just hanging out in my own room reading some comic books. Raph would prefer that I wasn't alone, heck it's not like Don is in the other room. I may be the youngest but I'm not a child anymore, I wish I could be given a chance to prove myself to my brothers.
It was like the universe had heard my wish, suddenly the room started to shake a strong wind was cast through the room and a light breaks through a crack in time illuminating the room. A person steps out of the light, it's Renet the Timestress.
Startled but happy to see her Leo asks if he should get his brothers they too would probably be happy to see her, it's been so long.
Renet: There is no time, you have places to be!
Leonardo: Wait what do you men I have places... and you teleported me to another place... Renet what is this about!?
Leo looks around and Renet is nowhere to be seen, he accepts that there most be a reason to why she transported him here. Leo is about to grab one of his swords and remembers that they where left in the lair because he was not wearing them at the time of the Timestress arrival.
Leonardo: Well looks like I will have to do this the old fashioned way... Without weapons sigh
Leo begins his travels in this strange and empty desert like land, wondering why and how he will be able to get home again. Walking for a while Leo starts to feel something like he has been here before.
Leonardo: strange I can not recall ever being here but this place seems familiar somehow...
A big temple starts to become more and more visible from the thick fog, with no other choice Leo ventures in the direction of the old temple. Hoping that the answers he seeks will be in this towering building. Inside the temple, Leonardo looks around is awe to the size of the place.
The familiar feeling is getting stronger and stronger, Leo thinks going down the big corridor with what looks like dragon statues on both sides, starring down at the mutant turtle as he walks pasts them.
At the end of the long corridor there seems to be a light coming from the ceiling and a big pool of water. The water almost looks magical from the sunrays cast from the ceiling. Without thinking Leo starts walking towards the water. There is something with the water like it's calling for him.
Half way through the room Leo is consumed by what feels like a darkness and the wind is screaming in his ears, the overwhelming sensation makes the turtle fall to his knees holding his head from the dizziness.
When he finally comes to, he senses that he is no longer alone in this corridor. A mighty dragon is now behind Leo looming over the young turtle as if it's waiting for a response a reaction something.
Leo looks at the beast and the dragon returns the look.
Leonardo: I'm mean no harm, I came here because I felt the temple calling for me... Leo says trying to keep calm in-front of the mighty dragon.
Dragon: Many says so and then they end up breaking said promise, how do I know you won't do the same?
Leonardo: I ended up in your dimension for a reason and I'm just here looking for answers, I have come here carrying no weapons. I mean no harm.
Dragon: If you say so, I have yet but one request. Do not enter the water... the dragon says.
Leo looks at the dragon and then back at the water, the calling form the water is only getting srtonger and stronger by the minute after the big dragon just told him to not enter the water.
Leonardo will defy the request from the dragon and jumps into the water...
Fully submerged in the water Leo is slowly sinking, the water feels like a comforting embrace, Leonardos limbs have gone numb and he's just excepting the fact. Sinking further and further down.
After the water had fully submerged Leonardos body, it triggered something inside him unlocking a power that he seemed to always had carried with him.
The old dragon looks shocked but not surprised by this development. Like it knew what Leonardo was caring inside him, but wanted to test the young turtle.
Leonardo emerges from the water, with a new body, new abilities he never thought he had. Dizzy form the whole experience, water coming out of his lungs, like he had drowned but later been reborn.
But there is only one thing on the young turtles mind, what is his brothers gonna say...

Some extra dragon Leo sketches
Writers note
If you made it this far I just wanna say thank you for taking the time to read this story.
I may have scrapped this idea for now, but if inspiration strikes I might do something more with this concept. Same goes with my fan story TMNT What IF overall.
Oh hell yeah! It's a new year! The Year of the dragon to be exact! And As a Dragon artist, I'm obligated to draw dragons! (And because I fucking want to!) But I didn't wanna just draw any old dragons, I wanted to try and do the one thing my 14 year old self loved doing! Turning my favorite characters into dragons!
Now, i know you folks are gunna read the title and be like, "But V, The 2003 Turtles already did that!" To which i will say, I know! And i loved it! Why do you think 2003 stuck with me like it did! And guess what, I'm still gunna draw my own versions cause I wanna!
So let's show them off!
Leo
Raph
Donnie
Mikey
And that's all of them! I may try a Splinter and an April at some point, but for now, this is what I have! I'll also finish these at some point with some proper line art and colors, and by then, I'll talk more about my thoughts behind them! But for now, I hope you like it!
Finally got myself to draw again! I’m still 2 days behind but I will do 13 and 14 later today.
That’s my first dragon form Leo (or any other turtle from 2003) ever! Damn I’m happy and proud! Reference used on his head. PS. I might color him later since I like him so much >//u//>
Last night I hosted a small magma to show @kaliyakarnage how the website works. Had a lovely chill time drawing and chatting with them. Thank you again for drawing with me ^^
