Personal thoughts on chapter below cut (Contains Spoilers)

Tears poured down his face in a rush. Casey choked on a sob. “Master Leonardo.” He lifted his hands to grip his mentor’s wrist, grinning with relief. “You’re here! You’re alive!” Master Leonardo snorted, rolling his eyes. “Well, of course I’m alive! It takes a lot to take me out, you know!” Then, in a gentler tone. “Did you have a nightmare? I’ve had them before, too. It’s, um…” He looked away from Casey, suddenly unable to meet his gaze. “They’re hard to deal with.”

Oh this is so interesting. I love the changes in scenes, where it went from Casey cataloging everyone's snores, to suddenly this confusion of Future Leo being alive.

“You told Mikey to open a portal through time. You— you threw me back into time.” Casey gripped his scarf like a lifeline. “And… I fixed everything.” Tears ran down his face. “I met Raph, Master Leonardo. He was…” Master Leonardo looked at him with horrified eyes. “He was protective and kind… just like you.” “You met Raph?” His voice was odd. “And… Mikey… I wouldn’t…” 

The only thing to make Leo believe that it isn't just a dream, is Casey talking about Raph. And its not just because Raph is dead in the future. Its much more complicated than that. I'm assuming Casey would have usually avoided talking about Raph as he saw it was a sore spot for his Sensei, and often made him cry. Casey being Casey, hates it when his Sensei cries, of course. So naturally, he just avoids the topic of Raph all together.

Master Leonardo smiled, rolling his eyes. “Well, we’re not doing an all-out attack anytime soon. We’re gonna try and get to their Technodrome and—” “Close the portal on it?” Casey finished. Master Leonardo scoffed, raising his hands dramatically. “Aw, c’mon, how’d you know? This is a brand new idea! Never even thought of doing it before!”

Oh my gosh, the parallels!!

Casey blinked up at him, wiping the blurriness from his eyes. Why weren’t they at the base? Why didn’t he have Master Leonardo’s scarf around him? “Master Leonardo?” Casey groaned. “What’s going on?” The turtle patted him on the shoulder, grinning. “Well, first of all, it’s your turn to be awake. Then, in a few hours we’ll be meeting the rest of the resistance for a big attack against the Kraang. You must be really tired if you forgot. You were so anxious about it earlier!” Casey stared up at his mentor. How was he here? Why did he keep waking up here? Why couldn’t his happiness last? “Okay, sensei.” Casey agreed easily, stepping out of the bed to allow him to slip into the spot he had been laying just moments ago. “I’ll wake you in a few hours.”

Poor Casey... Having that happiness with his newfound family, then having it transition to feeling like he can save his original family, only to have it yanked out from under his feet. What a shame, poor boy. A bolt of energy went straight through his stomach. It hit the ground behind him, exploded, and sent the two of them flying. Originally, it had hit Master Leonardo. Originally, it had killed Master Leonardo. Now, the world had hope. Now, Casey Jones II was going to bleed out on the battlefield.

My jaw just DROPPED when I read this!!! Oh my gosh, I never would have expected this to happen!! Casey really is a lot more like Leo than anyone would like to admit.

Master Leonardo stared at the blood on his hand for a long moment before shaking his head. “I’m going to pick you up. This is going to hurt. Probably a lot…” His eyes lit up for a moment. “Oh! I’m going to wrap my scarf around your wound. That’ll” — Master Leonardo took a shaky breath — “that’ll keep you alive till I can get help.”

Ohmygosh, the pure amount of emotion in this scene is just, augh!! Its so good!!

History liked to repeat itself, Casey realized.  Master Michelangelo died creating a portal through time. Master Leonardo threw him into said portal. Only, this time his mentor jumped in alongside him. After all, a corpse couldn’t save the world.

Just, what??? What??? What the heck, this is crazy!!! Though, Casey is right, after all, Leo would never do something so rash, unless it meant saving someone he loved. Before, he was able to throw Casey through, and then stay behind to help out the remaining people. This time, he went with Casey. Also, before he stayed behind to ensure that the Krang wouldn't follow them through the portal, and he had already been shot. This time, he's in full(ish) health, and he's no longer thinking clearly.

(Raph had jumped in front of an attack meant for his mentor, after all. It was no surprise why that wound in particular may be hurting right now.)

Auuugh not the parallels again!!! Oh gosh, its so good!!

As he was dragged away, he heard the younger version of Leonardo speak up.  “He calls you master?” Casey fell asleep not long after.

Oh man, this is so interesting!! Did he travel back again? Is this an alternate timeline? I'm so curious as to what caused this!! Will this keep happening, with more and more Casey's and Leo's showing up?

It was the familiar presence in the room. It was the soft squelching of something inhuman walking toward him. It was hissing laughter. “They left you behind?” The Kraang taunted, body contorting as she spoke. “Ha! Easy prey.” Casey’s last thought before her tentacles wrapped around his wounded stomach was of Master Leonardo. I know he can save the world without me.

*Dies again from emotional whiplash* What??? Oh shoot, I hadn't thought of that.

“A trade, then. The human for the key.” Casey blinked his eyes open, looking through the odd, clear liquid. Below him stood five green shapes.  All of the turtles were here. Casey smiled. That was nice. His sacrifice had allowed his mentor to connect with the younger versions of his family. “Yes,” Master Leonardo’s voice echoed through the room. Casey watched him step forward, key held in his hand.

Nooooo this is even worse!!! Nooooo not all the horrible decisions!!! Oh gosh, everything just keeps getting worse the longer it goes on!!

“I wanted to fix things, but I think I just made it worse. Just, um, just know.” Casey met the eyes of the greatest ninja the world had ever seen and smiled as tears ran down his face. “I love you.” The monster burning under his skin flared up at the words, jumping out of his skin and consuming his limbs. Casey took a step away from his mentor, screaming louder than he thought was possible. It burned, it ached, it hurt.

I wonder, does the krang react to the words themselves, or the emotions caused by the words? Because all emotions cause different reactions in the body. If the krang are fueled by power, I wonder, what hormone, or emotion the krang are triggered by? Just some thoughts.

“Casey! It’s your turn to take watch.” Casey blinked up at his mentor, his memory oddly… blank. It was like there was a fog covering his mind. Something had happened… (“Casey! Casey, please!”) Something bad had happened, but he couldn’t remember it.  Why couldn’t he remember it?  He remembered Leo begging him to close the portal with him inside, he remembered waiting for his mentor for hours, he remembered being shot by the laser, but what had happened after?

I think he's stuck in a time loop of sorts. Man, poor Case.

“Casey! It’s your turn to take watch.” Casey lurched up, grabbing onto Master Leonardo’s shoulders. “I’m about to tell you something insane. You have to believe me.” His mentor laughed. “Uh, sure?” “I’m from the future. The attack today is going to lead to the death of the entire rebellion. April, you, Mikey— everyone.” Master Leonardo gave him a considering look, nodding along. “You’re going to ask Mikey to open a time portal to send me back in time to stop the invasion.”

Y'know, this is really sad. He gets yanked back, regardless or not if he succeeds. I can imagine, that after failing, this would feel like a second chance. But after succeeding? I can't imagine how much that would hurt!! To have victory, the thing you've dreamed about your whole life, given to you, then snatched away. I wonder, how long until he becomes numb?

Casey met his mentor’s gaze. “Can you think of any way I can get out of this?” “Do you mean a time loop?”  “A what?”

Called it!!

“Who are you?!” Leo demanded. “Why do you have my markings? Why’d you steal that thing? Why do you have my markings?!”

I find it hilarious that out of all the things to worry about, Leo is most worried about Casey wearing his trademark markings on his mask. Not where he came from, not what he's doing, none of that. Only, the markings.

Master Leonardo… A spark of blue energy traveled from the sword to his hand. Casey opened his eyes, grinning as Leo’s swords recognized him. Inches from the pavement, Casey opened a portal to the only place he could call home.  In another world, it was a warzone.  In another world, Master Michelangelo had sacrificed himself to open a portal through time here. In another world, Master Leonardo had died here. But, in this one, it was a meadow.

I'm crying!!! This is so precious!!! Oh my gosh, all of Casey's hard work!! Please let it be worth something!!

“Hey, my biggest fan,” Leo said, sounding oddly unnerved by Casey’s tears. “Are you— are you alright?” And, Casey— Casey had never felt worse. “I’m so tired.” Casey took the key from his satchel and placed it on the grass, surrounded by blue lilies.  “Do whatever you want with it. I don’t care anymore.“ Casey walked away, holding the blue lily close to his heart. “Casey! It’s your turn to take watch.” As always, Master Leonardo threw him into the portal.  As always, Master Leonardo died in a red pulse. Only, this time, Casey didn’t shed a single tear.

.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I'm crying, what the heck??? Nooooooo this is so sad!!! oh my gosh, the poor boy!!! Augh, my heart!!! T^T

Unbidden

This is a story based loosely around the plot of the video game Diablo 2. I say 'loosely' because I have taken a number of liberties with regards to quest/plot points, game mechanics, character class lore, and established characters. It's just an awfully convenient container for all this stuff to happen inside, you know?

Each chapter will be tagged with content warnings for what I think are the most common triggers it contains. Many of the chapters won't have any warnings, since I didn't actually start out with intention to whump. I tend not to describe physical injuries in what I would consider to be excessively gory detail*, but the main character gets whumped at least once per act. I'll go ahead and mark the spicier chapters with asterisks, but your experience may vary.

(*Note: the bonus sections in act 2 actually do go into some gory detail. If you aren't interested in that, you can skip them without missing any plot.)

There's not really any romance or sex in this story. It's written over the shoulder of a main character who is both aromantic and asexual. There is swearing, from time to time.

General warnings: injury, torture, body horror, suicidal ideation, low self worth, fantasy violence, death mention and minor character death. Also contains elements of fantasy religion. Angels and demons are very much real entities in this setting, and act 4 does take place in the realm of the Burning Hells, but there is no single God or Devil, and no parallels to any existing religion are intended.
