FIANLLY!!! IT TOOK A FREAKIN YEAR BUT CHAPTER 5 IS DONE! Just gotta edit and it should be up within the next week 🤞

[rottmnt-honeybea]

I have been on the road the past two days, so naturally I had to draw @brooch-and-tackle 's Batsy with Raph

Of course, this is in the far flung future where Raph has reached his true Kaiju size and Batsy has remained a humble and cute barely 5 foot 😂

And this totally isn't a plug for people to go read "Brooch and Tackle" here on tumblr or over on AO3 👀

[pxl8ed]

I’ve been staring at a blank page for several hours now.

[pxl8ed]

*Looks at Brooch and Tackle* why not both? 😬

2 genres of fanfiction:

1) put that guy into situations

2) take that guy OUT of situations for the love of GOD let them REST

Agatha All Along deep dive: episode 3 part 2

(Wandavision entries: [1][2][3])

(AAA entries: ep1 [1][2][3][4] ep2 [1][2][3][4] ep3 [1][2][3] ep4 [1][2])

alice panics and checks if she still has her mom's amulets, lilia says, you still got them! in a sweet reassuring way. agatha also panics and checks if she has her brooch, but she does it quietly. when she finds the brooch she gives a sigh that no one notices.

I just love the parallels between agatha and alice, a daughter who lost her mother and a mother who lost her son, both grieving, both connected to the Road. but while alice, despite her shyness, is able to express her feelings and find strength and reassurance within her coven, agatha keeps her pain quiet and close to the chest.

checking her exit strategies while the others are still looking around in awe, because she's a) always a step ahead everybody else and b) a huge fucking coward. agatha is never as confident as she seems. was she hoping to bolt the moment billy wasn't looking and leave the others to deal with his mess?

ooh alice is the second to check. that's so interesting, they parallel each other but agatha does things secretly, alice does them openly.

NOT FUNNY, writers

yeah this is not a confident woman. she is terrified

not because babies make her cry or anything. in fact she eats babies, haven't you heard?

agatha is always real mature, but there's something about jen in particular that makes her regress into toddlerdom - and yeah it's funny, but we know agatha does this kind of stuff to mask and deflect, and I think she's especially defensive around jen because she actually respects her and values her opinion! so she has to rebel to that feeling like the true kindergartener she is

sharon dives for the wine, agatha rises a hand to warn her but hesitates. a moment later alice rises a hand and stops her. I'm only seeing this because I'm looking so closely but I'm not dreaming it, am I? this has to be on purpose? and oh my god alice was a cop. what did agatha choose to be under the spell, when she didn't bottle her emotions and guard herself so closely?????

okay okay okay now I'm thinking about moon phases and elements. alice is Fire, agatha is Spirit, would there be a connection? or maybe agatha as Spirit is like the Avatar and has to learn something from each element. from Alice she would learn to listen to her protective instincts - or rather to use them to protect others and not only herself, and that's what would ultimately make her choose to save Billy. I'll keep an eye out for this, maybe I'm on to something? this is Water and Jen's trial tho, so what does she learn from jen?

so jen despite her sarcastic exterior has been very vocal about both billy and sharon not belonging here. now she takes billy to the side and openly warns him. she's very pragmatic and not particularly emotional, she had to grow a lot of armor too, which makes her breaking down and crying in the finale all the more meaningful. the obvious lesson aside (agatha being responsible for jen's trauma), another thing that agatha has to learn from her is moral values. if jen were in agatha's shoes and saw the truth behind the Road you know she would have stopped this whole thing immediately. agatha needs to learn to be the bigger person for once and take things seriously, instead of running away.

we know agatha tolerates and even encourages the rumors about nicky, because the truth is too awful. is that why she's always yapping about hating children and eating babies? dear lord, it's so funny that she's so immature, and at the same time it's not funny at all

no one's judging you honey. you get drunk all you want, you earned it. and fuck these bitches and agatha especially for letting her drink poison - billy gets a pass because he's underage, why doesn't sharon get a pass for being magicless? I'll tell you why, because deep down no one takes her seriously. she's a joke to them.

lol billy's empty hand

agatha you will be ready to tackle him the moment he tries to drink for real. the clowning! all for show. and sharon is already pouring herself a third glass, nothing funnier than self medicating with alcohol, am I right gang?

I adore adore adore adore alice bonding with billy. she tries to do the agatha "i'm too damaged to open up" thing but one sad puppy look and she melts away. because he's just a kid (and a emo hot topic kid at that) and she WILL make him feel accepted no matter how sad inside she is. she's such a good person leave me alone

"so you guys evil, am I right?"

"no no no we have reclaimed that term, that's no longer a slur"

what's your favorite donatella versace impression? mine's alice's

can you guys please stop deadnaming this poor woman?? (spellnaming? magicnaming? wandanaming?)

agatha you are a humongous asshole for only pretending to drink and kathryn hahn you are so funny and so hot and talented

dying future!lilia jumps back in time to tell her coven she loves them and that's the moment she lands on lmaooooo with her face all swollen and everyone panicking and agatha pounding on the door. you don't deserve her love anyway agatha. she will give it to you because she's the better person, but you don't deserve shit

so yeah agatha we've been poisoned and Death's gonna come any minut....

BWAHAHAAHAHAHAAHHAH

that's taking 'deadbeat wife' to a whole other level

bit creepy there, billy. it's like Jigsaw being upset at people not participating in his games

billy: fine I'LL DRINK

agatha running in slowmo: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

you miiight be projecting your issues on that kid a lil bit there, buddy

she might drink the wine to save billy but she'll be an ABSOLUTE TEENY-WEENY BABY about it

such a fun episode

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand that would be her last words, folks! aren't we HAVING SO MUCH FUN????

alice always being the first one to run and help and trying to save everyone. just... alice

shoutout to @idkbroletssee and their billy's commentary!

Here's Vil’s younger brother.

💗

Name: Kiro Schoenheit 

TWST From: Kirby — cheerful, adaptable, deceptively powerful, with an unassuming demeanor. 

House: Pomefiore 

Personality Traits: Kiro is endlessly optimistic and sweet-natured, with a knack for surprising people with his resourcefulness and determination. While he comes off as naïve or even childish, his adaptability and hidden strength make him someone you underestimate at your peril. 

Unique Magic: "Starbound Essence"

Kiro can temporarily absorb and replicate the magical abilities of others by "eating" magical energy in the form of conjured stars or objects. This playful magic mirrors Kirby’s copy ability, allowing Klaus to adapt to different situations with incredible versatility.

Appearance: When activating his magic, glowing stars surround him, and he gets a faint pink aura.

Weaknesses:

Klaus can only hold one borrowed ability at a time, and the effect lasts for a limited duration (about 10 minutes).

He cannot replicate abilities that require complex control or mastery (e.g., Vil’s poison creation).

Overuse leads to exhaustion, as his magic burns through his stamina quickly.

Appearance:

Hair: Soft, fluffy platinum blond hair with a hint of pink undertones, styled in loose waves that give him an approachable, lighthearted look. 

Eyes: Bright, round, and sparkling blue with a shade of pink, conveying his childlike wonder and optimism. 

Complexion: Fair and glowing, with a naturally healthy flush that mirrors Kirby’s vibrant energy. 

Build: Petite and slightly round-faced, giving him a youthful, cherubic appearance. 

Pimefiore Uniform Modifications

-Color Palette: His uniform incorporates softer tones of purple and gold, accented with pink and pale blue, giving it a gentler, dreamlike vibe compared to Vil’s sharp contrast. 

Cape: A short, pastel pink cape with a starry design, reminiscent of Kirby’s connection to the cosmos. 

Accessories:

Star Brooch: A golden star-shaped brooch pinned to his collar, symbolizing his boundless optimism. 

Fluffy Scarf: A small, cloud-like white scarf around his neck for a cozy, whimsical touch. 

Shoes: Soft, pastel pink boots with golden accents, designed to be functional yet fashionable. 

Gloves: Short, white gloves with pink trim, adding an elegant yet playful detail.

Personality: Kiro is a cheerful and curious individual who approaches life with childlike wonder. He’s incredibly supportive of his brother but doesn’t share Vil’s obsession with perfection. Instead, Kiro values effort, joy, and creativity over flawlessness. He’s quick to make friends and sees the good in everyone, even those others might avoid. Despite his gentle appearance, Kiro is remarkably strong and resilient, capable of standing his ground when it matters most. Kiro is the embodiment of lighthearted charm. He’s cheerful and optimistic, often bringing a sense of joy and calm to those around him. However, beneath his sunny demeanor lies a quiet determination and strength that surprises those who underestimate him. While Vil is more critical in his approach to perfection, Kiro encourages others to embrace their unique strengths. He’s a natural cheerleader for his peers, offering quiet words of encouragement when they need it most.

💗

Kiro, running to Vil: Hug me! Bring it in!

Vil, running away because Kiro is going to ruin his outfit when he hug tackles him: At least wait until we returned to Pomefiore dorm.

Kiro, chasing him: Would you loosen up a little!

HE'S FROM KIRBY'S WORLD?

I LOVE KIRBY!

Wollefest Leipzig

What a wonderful day yesterday!!

tl;dr: I need more glass jars X'D

And I'm glad there aren's too many festivals a year XD The way to Leipzig was easy, I left waaay too early so I had time to look around! There was an apple (?) orchard on my way and it looked like a sea of white in the morning sun! It was soo beautiful! (No pictures since I went by car)

Then I met my dear friend at the train station and we walked over to the glass hall of the Neue Messe. The nostalgia. And since the book faire was a few weeks ago the glass panels were already cleaned xD

It was nice and spacious. so it was possible to look at everything. And to leave money *coughs* much money! and to talk to the two people from my spinning group who were there at the booth of the German hand spinning guild.

Soo many colours! Soo much beautiful stuff! *.* I could have spent at least another 100€

And the loot:

front: 70% polwarth/15% Tencel/15% silk from friendly sheep

Spindle: suppoted, maple/coloured wood from the same shop

Nalbinding needle made of horn and scissors from die Garnspinnerin

red Wensleydale locks from... idk anymore

below the locks: 40% wool (Falkland, Merino)/20% llama/20%Eri silk/20% baby camel from frau wöllfchen

violet: 25% Suri Alpaca/25% royal baby alpaca/25% Ramie/25% tussah silk, the colourful bag is 100% tussah silk, and a pair of hand carders *.* (not in picture) from stefis wolle

blue batt: 40% angora/40% silk/20% merino, grey batt: 35% angora/35% silk/25% Merino/5% alpaca from Seidenhase

the bag in the back: 100% baby alpaca raw fleece. So now I know my first scouring project xD also can't reconstruct the booth I got this

the cardboard box: DIY kit for a sewing machine pincushion in grey from Hühnerstall kreativ! was alrady considering to get one last year but I ran out of money.

Not in picture: two stitch markers, a brooch in the form of a black sewing machine and a knitting pattern for wrist warmers.

I only wanted to get 500g of fibres bc of space reasons... well... I failed.

When we were done at the festival, we went to the city to get some ramen for lunch/early dinner which was also very delicious. and after that I returned home (Or almost home. There were traffic problems on my way for which I was waaay too tired so I decided to stop at my dad's and tackle the rest of the way this morning.

Now I'm home and can rest a bit before work.

Trials of the Cloaking Brooch

░ Stolen ░

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3

ROTMNT

Summary: On his way to the Run of the Mill pizza, Leo spots out the corner of his eye a glint behind a trash can. He lingers over to investigate only to see a lost clocking brooch. Timidly he picks it up and twirls it in his fingers only to realize that he no longer had 3 green fingers but 5 human skin-toned fingers his eyes glance up at the semi-reflective trashcan to see a human form staring back at him. As he was about to investigate more, a beep from his phone caught his attention. it was a snap from April to the group chat with her and his brothers. He opened it up to see her lying on a desk with the caption "I'm sooooo bored." He glanced back up at the human reflection and an evil glint appeared in his eyes. He stood up shoving his phone back in his pocket and began his walk to April's school.

A/N: This is a book I am almost finished within A03 I wanted to post it here as well here is that link if you prefer to read it there. https://archiveofourown.org/works/41621709

----

Leo rushes out of the school gates to be pushed back by a hysterically laughing 3-foot mouse running past quickly followed by Donnie using his hovering shell to gain speed. Leo covered his face as the force of the wind pushes him further back into the schoolyard. Mikey followed behind the two twirlings a firey nunchuck above his head and screaming a sorta war cry. Leo ran back towards the gates to get a better view of his brothers who are now a block down.

Donnie landed slightly in front of the mouse and held his staff out threateningly and the mouse quickly skidded to a stop, Donnie laugh, "You're cornered now!". The mouse looked over his shoulder to see Mikey aiming and smirked. Leo quickly saw what was happening and shouted for his brother to duck as Mikey released one end of his nunchuck as the mouse jumped and the fiery end of the Kusari flew at Donnie's head. Donnie quickly ducked at Leo's shout barely missing the nunchuck to the head.

Donnie looked up confused as he searched the area for his brother mumbling to himself, "Leo?"

Realizing his mistake Leo ducked behind the gate hiding from his brother's view and grabbed the brooch removing his human disguise and tucking it into his side pouch. He reached to his back grabbing his two katanas which were concealed with the brooch.

Leo then portals himself above the mouse tackling him to the ground.

"Leo!" Mikey yelled in excitement at the appearance of his brother.

Ralph slowly joins the brothers out of breath from having to keep up with his two much faster brothers and wild mouse. "You're late," He comments between breaths gaining an eye-roll from Leo.

"Well I'm here now and I caught the mouse." Leo groans as he looks down at his capture that was squirming between his arms. "What is it anyway?"

"A mutant of Dr. Stalin a renowned biochemist but for some reason, the Oozesquitoe has made him completely insane and he has been conducting experiments on people all over town," Donnie informed while tapping on his tech gauntlet on his wrist.

As Leo focused on his brother's explanation he didn't notice the Mouse turn its head to bite on Leo's wrist causing Leo to yipe and yank his hand to his chest allowing the mouse to get out of Leo's hold. The mouse climbed up onto Leo's back while Leo was still distracted tending to his injured hand. A cold needle entered the back of Leo's neck as the mouse injects him with something before jumping off and taking off down the street again.

Leo noticed the mouse getting away and reached to recapture the mouse but his body forced him to the ground, "Mikey!" Leo ordered realizing his inability to catch the mouse.

Mikey quickly caught onto his brother's order and began running after the mouse shouting, "I'm on it!" The other two brothers ran over to check on Leo who held the back of his neck tightly and began shaking.

"Leo! What's wrong!" Ralph questioned in worried trying to comfort his brother who let out a painful scream.

Leo shoved his brothers off him and began scratching at his skin and screamed as his skin began to feel like a fire has started under it.

Suddenly a wave of relief struck Leo and he let out a breath and turned calmly to his brothers who stared at him confused. "What? do I have something in my teeth?" Leo questioned picking at his teeth.

Donnie scratched his head, "Uh Leo, you're uh... blue" Leo looked down at his skin to see Donnie was correct his skin was blue.

Leo frowned, "All that just to turn my skin BLUE, that's so lame."

Leo pushed himself up as the mouse jumps on top of Leo's head, "Interesting results?" it stood up on Leo's shoulder and pulled out a notepad, "Experiment 15, It appears that the paralyzing serum turns turtle mutants blue. More research must be conducted to find a working paralyzing serum for turtles."

"wait did you say paralyzing serum?" Leo asked dumbfounded.

"Leo! Look out!" Mikey yelled as a fiery end of a nunchuck began flying toward Leo and the mouse. Leo with wide eyes, duck while throwing the mouse in the air.

***

Back at the sewers three of the four turtles sat in the middle of their base sulking. Each one of their previously green skin is now blue.

They captured the mouse but only after it conducted its experiment on all of the turtles except Donnie turning them blue. Donnie had brought the mouse back to the lab and called Draxum over as well.

Donnie as dramatic as usual burst out of his lab yelling, "I have done it yet again brothers and I have achieved the impossible! With the combination of our three genius minds, we have developed a cure for the Oozesquitoe's bite!" Donnie then stepped aside to reveal a skinny human with bright red hair in a torn-up white lab coat.

All three of the turtles jumped up in surprise at the new circumstances.

"No way! This is huge!" Mikey exclaims proudly breaking the silence and breaking Raph and Leo out of their surprised daze.

"How did you..." Leo begins to ask but is unable to find his words.

"After convincing Dr. Stalin evil mouse form that it would be in his best interests to help he was able to look at the Oozesquitoe effects on the DNA and how to detach it," Draxum explained stepping out of the lab.

A crash was heard from the back of the sewer gaining the attention of the turtles. Splinter was standing in the entrance with a broken mug at his feet, "you made a cure?" he asked with a longing look.

The three genius looked at each other searching for a way to break the news.

Draxum was the one to speak up stepping forward, "the only way we were able to change Dr. Stalin back was because of how recent the Oozesquitoe bite occurred. Your genetic mutation occurred 16 years ago therefore it's too late for you."

Splinter nodded in understanding before solemnly turning around and walking out of the room. Raph started to walk towards where splinter was but Leo grabbed him by the shoulder. Raph looked at Leo seeing the look in his eyes and understood Leo's reasoning and nodded. Splinter needed a moment by himself to recollect the hope that was sparked only to be diminished again.

"Ok, what does this mean?" Leo asked turning his attention back to his twin.

"We were only able to revert Dr. Stalin so quickly because he was turned within the past 12 hours, but with Dr. Stalin's help we might be able to construct a cure for the other mutants." Donnie began to plan.

"And what about this whole situation?" Raph asked waving over his blue body.

"I can fix that." Dr. Stalin finally spoke up pulling out a needle from his coat and making the three blue turtles cringe. "the fastest and most effective way for the serum to revert the paralyzing serum will be for it to enter from the Gluteal muscles." he stated walking towards the turtles.

The three turtles looked at Donnie for an explanation who pointed to his butt and the three turtle screamed jumping onto each other for support.

***

All the turtles have gone to bed except Donnie who stood in the doorway of Leo's subway cart that he has converted into his room.

Donnie slowly walked in to see Leo sprawled out on his bed snoozing away. Donnie was on the hunt for answers to whatever his twin has been hiding.

He first goes for Leo's shelves digging through his trinkets from Leo's favorite comics and movies when he accidentally knocked over a figurine. Donnie jumped down to catch it before it crashed on the floor and peeked at his sleeping twin who rolled over and mumbled, "Donnie".

Donnie froze, "why did you turn my bunnies pink." Leo mumbled. Donnie let out a breath relieved Leo was just talking in his sleep. Donnie's eyes shifted from his twin to his bedpost where his pouch hung.

A glint flashed in Donnie's eyes as he reached for the pouch and rummage through it. Usually, Leo only keeps quick medical supplies in it for when one of the brothers gets hurt on the field but among the supplies, Donnie found something different a brooch.

He pulled the brooch out and admired it and when his reflection in the brooch shifted from his turtle look to one of a human his eyes widened in realization. This is what his twin has been hiding. Donnie scurried out of Leo's room and back into his room. Walking up to his mirror Donnie places the brooch on his chest to be transformed into a human.

He had dark dreads half of which is pulled up into a half ponytail. He shared the same sharp chin and bushy eyebrows as his father when he was human but his skin was much darker than his father's. He wore a purple hoodie, and baggy black pants, and his goggles remained on the top of his head.

Donnie looked at his new human form in amazement and smirked evilly.

***

Leo woke up very late around noon to be exact the rest of his family was already up and moving around. Raph and Mikey were skateboarding on the ramp, splinter was watching his shows the one turtle that couldn't be found was Donnie. Leo shrugged assuming his twin was probably with Dr. Stalin and Draxum.

Leo got a beep on his phone and look to see a text from an unknown number, 'hey hope you don't mind I got your number from April'.

Another beep, 'This is Alise by the way'

Leo smiled and began to type a reply turning away from his brothers and heading back to his room.

L- 'hey Alise 👋'

A- 'I just wanted to make sure you were ok you left in a hurry yesterday when turtles were fighting

L- 'all good here, I just needed to go check on my brothers'

A- 'Awesome are they all good?'

L- 'yup'

A- 'cool cool'

A- 'I also wanted to make sure you were still good to come to the game tonight so I can get you a ticket'

L- 'Of course I do! I have never been to a football game'

A- 'awesome 👍 I just got your ticket, the game starts at 4 but we can meet up at the MTG room beforehand'

L- 'can't wait'

Leo clicks his phone off with a smile and began digging through his pouch for his cloaking brooch only to find it missing. In a panic, Leo dumped all the contents of his bag out onto his bed all that was in the bag were his bandages, disinfectants, and other medical supplies. Leo ran around his room tearing it apart in search of his brooch.

The ruckus of Leo's search gained the attention of Mikey who came to check on his older brother, "what-cha looking for Leo?"

Leo jumped up with a shout, "Nothing!" before jumping past Mikey and out of the room.

Leo searched everywhere in the sewers for his brooch maybe he dropped it somewhere.

With no luck in finding the brooch in the sewers, Leo resorted to the surface.

After hours of searching, Leo gave up and sat on top of the school building as the football game began. All the students were outside in the stands cheering all but one.

Alsie stood near the gate where last-minute fans were entering from. Alsie looked upset as she typed on her phone.

Leo's phone beeped with a message from her, 'The game is about to start where are you?'

Leo began typing a response, some kind of excuse but everything he type up felt fake. He finally just sent, 'I'm sorry but I can't make it 😔'

He looked over at Alsie to watch her reaction. She sighed at the text before shoving the phone in her pocket and walking out the gate everyone else was entering. Leo followed from the roof to watch her make it to the front of the school and began her walk home.

Leo sighed he didn't mean to hurt her feeling. He sat in defeat placing his face in his hands.

As he reflected he heard a scream from the direction Alsie went. Jumping up Leo was able to catch a glimpse of Meat Sweats jumping into the back of a beat-up news van holding Alsie. The van took off down the street with their new capture.

Quickly Leo jumped up and threw one of his swords towards the van once it embedded itself into the roof Leo teleported to it in a flash. Leo held onto the sword to keep him stable as he tried to listen to the conversations in the van.

"..... you kidnapping me is literally pointless!" Leo can barely hear Alsie yell at her captures.

"Consider this an incentive for him to make it faster then." Meat Sweats countered.

"That is literally the dumbe......." Alsie began to say but git cut off by something.

Leo frowned at his lack of explanation and began to crawl to the front of the vehicle and peeked his head in front of the windshield. There was Warren stone the worm mutant in the driver's seat and beside him, Hypno the hippocampus mutant in the passenger seat both now screaming at Leo's sudden appearance.

The van yanked to the side causing Leo to fumble off the side of the van barely able to grab onto the side mirror. Leo then teleported himself back to his first sword that he dug into the top of the van. He pulled the sword out before creating a portal to bring him inside the van.

"you know I question a lot of things you do but kidnapping? Did you run out of bad guy things to do?" Leo quips as he appeared in between the pig and the two mutants sitting up front.

Meat Sweats quickly lounges after Leo who ducks out of the way swapping sides with the pig, "ohh just a little too slow, you getting old Meat Sweats?"

The pig huffs before charging again. This time Leo jumped above him causing him to ramp through the back door. The pig attempted to hold onto the door but it gave out due to his weight and he fell to the streets.

Leo stood up dusting his hands off, "well that's one less villain, who next!" he taunted as the hippopotamus stood up out of his seat ready to fight. He got ready to let out a hypnotic scream when something hit him from the side.

Standing where Hypno was was Alsie with her arms tied to her sides and duck tape covering her mouth.

Hypno rubbed his head from the floor directing his gaze to Alsie and opened his mouth to let out a hypnotic scream at Alise, luckily Leo noticed and almost in a blur jumped in front of Hypno, "oh no you don't!" Leo then kicked him in the jaw knocking him out.

Leo turns his attention to Alsie untieing her and removing the tape off her mouth. "sooooo what brings you here?" Leo asks playfully.

Alsie rubs her skin that was once tied down, "This time my father found a cure for the mutants."

"Your dad is Dr. Stalin?" Leo questions in surprise. Alsie just nodded in response.

"Enough with the small talk! Warren Stone is here to defeat you! Now that I have you alone you will have no chance against me!" the worm mutant announced as he slithered to the back of the van.

Alsie and Leo gave each other a look of disappointment before Alsie grabbed the worm and punted him out of the van.

"wait if he was driving then..... Ahhhhh!" Leo comments before the van starts swerving on the road and the two are tossed from one side of the van to the other. Leo quickly makes a portal on the other end of the van so when it shifted and they went falling they fell through the portal.

A portal appeared in a nearby ally, Leo was the first to jump through quickly gaining his footing but was followed by Alsie who tumbled knocking the two over onto the ground.

The two groaned in pain and they pushed themselves off the ground, "some rescue," Alsie mumbled sarcastically.

"Hey! I got you away from the bad guys safe and sound," Leo complained.

"Did you now." a voice said from the front of the ally. Leo jumped up and ready his swords. One of the Sando brothers the crab mutants enters the ally punching one claw into the other.

"uh, blue?" Alsie gained Leo's attention to see the second half of the Sando brothers walking from the other side of the ally.

"here take this!" Leo hands her one of his swords before charging at the Crab in front of him.

Alsie gripped the sword taking a more defensive role as the second grab charged after her she lift the sword to block his claw and flung him back. She moved fast blocking and dodging but she is not trained in sword fighting and the crab got the upper hand and grabbed her by the side lifting her off the ground. She let out a short scream before she was teleported back to the ground.

Confused Alsie looked around to see Leo now where she was in the claw of the Crab, "don't think is going to be that easy!" Leo taunted taking advantage of the confused crab to get out of its hold.

Alsie didn't have time to focus on the turtle's fight as she had the second Crab charging at her now. Alsie jumped out of the way of the charging crab who stumbled slightly before coming back after Alsie. She tried blocking his attack but he grabbed the sword by its blade and lifted her and the sword off the ground and pulled her off the sword now holding the sword in one claw and Alsie in the other.

Once Leo saw this he quickly teleported to the sword gripping the handle to swing himself up to the crab's face and kicking him in the eye. The Crab let go of the sword and Leo dropped down, twirling the two swords in his hands to get a better grip. "Did you think I forgot about you?" Leo quipped before going in for his attack.

Leo jumped up cutting off the crabs claw that was holding Alsie, the crab grew back a new claw but not before Leo could get in his hits. It almost looked like a dance as the two twirled around as Leo knocked the crab back and forth. Leo was finally able to get the last hit by knocking the crab upwards and as it fell using his sword like a bat he hit the crab into the ally walls.

The second crab came running for his injured brother. Leo twirled his swords back into their holster on his back as he turned to Alsie reaching a hand out to get her off the ground.

"might be a good idea to get you somewhere safe before more mutants show up," Leo suggested as she took his hand and he pulled her up. Leo then made a portal to the turtle's lair where Raph and Mikey were sitting on the floor eating pizza.

Legend of Zelda Theme Park - Gerudo Desert

At long last, I've found a way to add the desert to my theme park!

At the western end of the Dark World is the entrance to a sandstone canyon which meanders a bit and then debouches onto a lively bazaar. Buildings are constructed from off-white masonry contrasting with brilliantly colored fabrics and mosaics. There are numerous planters containing palm trees and cacti to help direct foot traffic as well as providing bench space and extra shade. Near the center of the plaza is a circular fountain featuring a statue of a woman wielding a sword, surrounded by more vegetation. The outside edge of the area is bounded with facades representing sand dunes, among which can be seen landmarks such as the OoT Desert Colossus and BoTW Gerudo Town. From time to time, an animated figure of a Molduga arches from one sand dune to another like a breaching whale.

Attractions

Nabooru’s Training Course: A combination maze and obstacle course—periodically, the winding corridors offer an opportunity to hone your skills as an elite bandit…but if you don’t feel up to tackling the balance beam, overhead bars, crawl net, or other physical challenge, a normal path continues alongside the obstacle. This is just the beginners’ course—from time to time, you can peek through to a more advanced course where Gerudo make trapeze-caliber leaps over jets of fire, dodge flying darts, and disable booby traps (or fail to do so!). At the end of the maze is a playground featuring more things to climb and jump in, just in case you had any excess energy left.

Gerudo Warriors’ Procession: Taking place at scheduled intervals in the bazaar, a squad of the Gerudo tribe’s most impressive warriors parade through the street to a stage where they demonstrate some of their combat skills.

Skipper’s Time-Shifted Boat Tour: Inspired by the Lanayru Sand Sea from Skyward Sword, this dark ride uses projection mapping, augmented reality goggles, and a bit of motion simulation to create the illusion of riding in a boat through a desert that has been transformed into an ancient ocean, but only in a set radius around the craft thanks to the aura of the Timeshift Stone. Fantastic corals appear and disappear, long-decayed ships spring back into operation only to wither again as the boat leaves them behind, the bleached bones of sea monsters turn into living threats until the robot guide manages to outrun them. The queue includes a few interactive “windows” where the push of a button activates a Timeshift Stone to alter a scene—a massive tree reverts to a tiny sapling in a meadow, a crumbled ruin becomes a bustling fortress in its heyday, etc.

Sand-Seal Rally Race: A high-speed ride along a figure-eight racing track, in a seal-drawn “sand sled.” Watch out when you get to the crossing point—don’t crash with another sled!

Shops

5. Silken Palace: Scarves, shawls, capelets, veils, and other free-flowing clothing and accessories made from scrumptiously colored and patterned fabrics…even sarees! Knowledgeable staff can show how to properly put on your purchases if you need help.

6. Hotel Oasis Spa Shop: A health and beauty shop featuring LoZ-inspired makeup palettes, custom-blended perfumes and colognes, bath salts, soaps, scrubs, massage oils, and other products to pamper your skin after a long day in the desert.

7. Starlight Memories: A jewelry boutique specializing in big, showy styles of earrings, bracelets, necklaces, brooches, and even diadems. Many pieces are inspired by the traditional jewelry styles of the Middle East and South Asia.

8. Sand-Seal Adoption Center: The Sand-Seal Rally Race exits through this shop specializing in plush toys of sand seals and other desert creatures both real and fanciful, with an optional “adoption ceremony” for your special new friend.

9. Miscellaneous Merchandise Booths: Small spaces leased out to small business retailers whose wares are in line with the overall “vibe” of the Bazaar.

Eateries

10. Gerudo Bistro: A café with well-shaded patio seating, featuring a menu of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern entrees and appetizers.

11. Arbiter’s Grounds: An Arabian/Persian/Turkish style coffee and tea bar, harking back to the ancient relationship with coffee enjoyed by the cultures that inspired the Gerudo. Brews are available hot, iced, flavored, even blended with ice cream for a perky smoothie. Or head next door…

12. Kara Kara Creamery: Beat the heat with frozen treats! Ice cream, frozen yogurt, sherbet, milkshakes, and smoothies are all available here, made to order. If you’re with a group, try the Seven Heroines Sundae, with seven “orbs” of different flavors reflecting the virtues prized by the Gerudo: skill, spirit, endurance, knowledge, flight, motion, and gentleness.

VOAMV, Arc #1, Chapter #1

Her eyes slowly opened, being greeted by four mutant turtles. Two arguing in the background, and the other two right in front of her. 

“Hey? You.. you okay?” The one wearing a red mask asked.

She hissed, standing up. The turtles seemed small compared to her. The one in the purple mask seemed fascinated but also freaked.

“DONNIE! I TOLD YOU! YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE REMOVED THAT CLOAKING BROOCH! NOW WE HAVE A.. HOLY COW WHAT IS THAT!” The turtle with red stripes and a blue mask screamed, jaw dropped.

She pounced on the purple and blue turtle, or well, tried to. They managed to get out of the way. She growled loudly, also buzzing. She attempted to attack the short orange masked turtle, but missed once more.

“WOAH! FERAL MUTANT ALERT!” The turtle shouted while it dodged. 

“Hey! You don't mess with my brothers!” The red masked turtle pointed an unknown weapon towards her, before slamming it's fists together to summon a red magic.

She ignored it, deciding to attack the other brothers. She missed a few times, before being able to bite one.

“Jesus!” The purple one shouted, being the one bitten. 

It had something come out of it's shell though, it used it's silver stick to part her mouth and get his arm out. it got over to the other turtles and whispered a plan to them. 

She was tackled onto the ground, pinned. The purple one shoved something onto her mouth. She tried to bite, but the thing kept her from being able to. 

“Mission complete!” The red banana haver turtle said. 

The purple turtle didn't stop there though. It tied something around her neck, and attached something onto that other thing.

The rest was a haze, but somehow she ended up in tunnels with liquid running through the middle. She was led to a large room, where she was trapped there. The turtles left her alone with food and water. 

She sat there, buzzing viciously. She huffed, before lying down. She closed her eyes, and quickly passed out.

Pet pet pet..

She opened her eyes to find the large [compared to the other turtles] red masked turtle petting her. Her buzzing came to a stop, and she began purring. The red masked turtle chuckled.

“You awake bud?” He asked, switching his petting to patting.

He seemed nice, she didn't want to attack him. For once she didn't feel aggression. 

“My names Raph! I don't think you have a name.. do you?” He tilted his head.

She shook her head, her fur fluffing up a bit. Raph smiled in return, running his finger through her fur. 

“Well then, you're gonna need one. Hmm.. how about Velvet? You like that?”

She nodded, it was a name that would suffice. She didn't need a name before, but she probably did now. Velvet felt Raph shuffle and move, eventually lying himself onto her. 

The two just stayed like that, in silence for a bit. Before Raph pulled out a rectangle and stared at it, as it emitted sound.
