#not to mention Hueso’s past

[turtleblogatlast]

There’s something so funny about Mikey and Leo’s first “real” job ending in them making enemies with literal mob bosses

Big Mama wasn’t enough, no one in the whole Yokai underworld is safe from the wrath of teenagers

[britt-kageryuu]

The guys are sitting around a large table that has a long grill through the middle, with a couple metal plates on some parts that act as griddles. The table seems to be on a rooftop somewhere, but the skyline is blocked by canvas sheets painted to look like a New York City Skyline.

The guys are all dressed in color coded shorts, their masks, and shirts with different graphics on them. Raph = an Aligator Snapping Turtle holding a barbell in its mouth wearing sweatbands, Donnie = Reboot Process Interrupted Current Mood: Murderous, Leo = a turtle covered ing glitter with a unicorn horn on its head, Mikey = I have a Psychology Degree and am Eager to Use It! (Threat).

They were having Yakiniku, with a few other things on the grills and griddles, chatting among eachother, and answering questions from the chat. On one end Mikey was experimenting with 'steam baking' a cake on the griddle.

Shelldon is flying around the area announcing the questions, while River is in stand-by/sleep mode on a box in the back charging. Shelldon is also acting as a speaker playing music as he floats around.

"So we had to send someone to grab some more ingredients, the poor new guy was so confused by the list, so I volunteered to go with him." Mikey says as he checks his experiment, "This guy apparently never went shopping in the marketplace before, and I swear he almost overpaid on ingredients, so many times. Senior Hueso gave us a budget, and I wanted to make sure we stuck to it."

Shelldon swerves around next to Donnie, "Hey Dad, TechnoTurtle, wants to know how you have so many 3D models in such a short amount of time. Got any answers Dude-Dad?"

Donnie was in the middle of eating so it took a minute for them to answer, "Well to be honest, I have planned to make numerous games with 3D models in the past, and then lost interest for various reasons. So I had all the Models saved on a spare memory bank." They pause to take a sip of their drink, "And before we get a question about the many outfits, I left some odd videogame clothes/costume data attached to the models so it's very easy to add new outfits. Think of our Models as videogame avatars instead of VTuber models. Also I don't know what programs others normally use for making VTuber models, Mandarin and I have been using a mix of my programs, and some free to use art programs."

Mikey is seen moving his cake experiment to a counter near the table to cool under a netted cube, "I may have made our original model concepts, and done some minor rigging for them, but once we discovered the mix of programming we use now, yeah definitely better for us. I may love doing art, but making models for VTubing was more complicated than I wanted to deal with." Mikey quickly grabs a few pieces of meat and veggies from the grill with tongs, "Heck, once I told everyone I designed our models, I had to emphasize on my commission page that I don't do models. But I have been making 2D, 2.5D model Assets, with a wide variety of skin tones, and even different species variants." Mikey says with some pride in his voice.

Leo was about to say something, but stopped to stare as Donnie starts to eat a sandwich, he made with grilled meats and veggies, whole. It wasn't an unusual sight for the guys, but it's been a while since he last saw Donnie do this. And that's not to mention the audience who are all very confused and concerned by this.

"I don't know why I'm surprised to see you eat like that Dee, but Wow. I forgot you could-" Leo paused for a sec, "That almost came out very wrong. And not in a way I would want to say."

Sadly some of the audience was able to pick up on the almost innuendo, thankfully they didn't mention it in chat, but they did make memes out of the clip.

Donnie looked at Leo with great offense after finishing his sandwich. "Annoyed Huff. Rude. Dear Brother, you can not fault me for my softshell instincts!" They say with a huff and crossed arms. Their tail seen whipping around behind them.

Raph just lets out a sigh with a shake of his head. "You two are always so chaotic with eachother. But you're my knucklehead brothers." He uses some custom chopsticks to flip the meat he put on the grill before eating it after a few seconds.

The stream goes on with more chatting, and eating, though after a bit of time they're joined by April, Cass, and CJ. With a note that their Dads are on vacation, to get away from some the guys chaotic antics recently.

The chaotic antics in question were not mentioned, much to the audiences great disappointment.

--------------------

Masterpost

This was at least partly my original idea for their 4th of July post, but I decided that the guys would rather just enjoy the festivities instead of streaming the entire time.

And yes Donnie is swallowing the sandwich whole. I just realized how wrong/weird it sounds to describe that hence the 'unspoken innuendo' line.

Senor Heuso trying to help male reader to escape the turtles (Mikey the only love interest tho) and failing so they fuck him up??

sorry that I've been inactive lately, I had (have? idk) writers block, plus life is a shitbag, due to everything that is still plaguing me. Since you didn't specify Dark or Normal AU!, if Mikey is a Yandere, or if Y/N a mutant or not. I went with what I interpreted from your ask (and what would be easier to write, lmao)

Yandere! Dark AU! Michelangelo x Male! Yokai! (Species mostly ambiguous but implied to be a warm-blooded Animal, such as a Mammalian or Avian) Reader.

Story Format: Non-HeadCanon Oneshot(?)

CW: Yandere Behavior, Kidnapping, Mentions of Broken Bones and Blood, Forced Relationship (also bad writing lmaooooo)

P.S: I put some Spanish in here, but it has a translation next to it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You fucked up. Big time.

It wasn't a debate, you screwed up the entirety of the past month or so, getting kidnapped by the brothers, the resident nutcase of their... Family falling madly in love with you and basically gluing himself to you.

You didn't know how to respond to Michelangelo, He would shower you in gifts and attention, and, due to you always responding Fearfully neutral, He assumed you felt the same way, no matter how many times you tried to tell him you didn't see him as an acquaintance, much less a Lover.

Because of his duties, he often left you alone in his room, which worked in your favor, as you often thought of escape plans, hundreds have gone through your mind since your kidnapping

And the perfect time to escape was tonight; you knew that if you managed to get free, out of the sewers and into the Hidden City, you'd be gone, you prided yourself on knowing all the entrance ways to said city, and that you know every single road, alley, subdivision and Foot-Clan free places there.

After 15 minutes or so, you managed to get out of the sewer safely, nearly getting caught by Splinter twice.

Sighing in relief as you finally got fresh air after God knows how long you've been down there

'How sad, that I lost count of the days' you thought, mournfully. You wondered if your Friends and Family missed you, because other than escaping, they're the only other thing you've thought about.

Lifting yourself out of the manhole, you instantly bolted into an alley way, your Animal instincts kicking in and telling you to find a safe place to stretch and recuperate, while the sentient and more rational part of your brain told you to just get the fuck out of there and make a plan to get to a safer place other than an Alley way.

You yawned, instantly stretching after what felt like years of being too afraid to move, lest you get hurt.

It took you a few seconds, but you ended up thinking about where you would go, sure, you knew you'd be safest in the Hidden City, but the minute Splinter found you gone, he would alert his sons to hunt you down, and the city would be the first place they look.

Similarly, to the Humans who wander the surface, the Police in the Underground have Corrupted Officials who would tell the Foot Clan the minute you stepped into their Line of Sight, or Worse, into the Station, and in turn, the foot clan would tell the Turtles.

You knew the danger of staying on the surface, but there was equal, if not more, danger underground, you groaned, thinking quickly, as you knew the turtles would be back any minute now

Then it hit you, Run of the Mill Pizza.

Your younger sibling (Or a friend/Family member's younger sibling) was friends with Hueso Jr, so you ended up going to the Pizzeria and ended up getting acquainted with Señor Hueso, his workers, and his family.

Deciding that he would be your best bet, you started sneaking towards the Restuarant. The walk there, as you calculated, was only about 20 minutes, but may be longer if the Turtles come back and start searching for you.

After a while, you ended up making it to the hidden entrance, quickly opening the portal, luckily, the sassy skulls on the portal seemed to understand your distress and opened quicker than they usually would.

Señor Hueso had his back to you, sweeping, before speaking in a mildly irritated tone

"Lo siento, pero estamos cerrados" (I am sorry, but we are closed.)

You stared for a second, you didn't understand Spanish, you knew that Señor Hueso had the habit of Defaulting to Spanish without thinking, as he was previously from The Painted City, it was smaller than the Hidden City, many people didn't know of the other Underground cities around the world, but The Painted City was centered in Mexico City.

"Mr. Hueso...?" you called out, unsure if you should leave or not, Señor Hueso froze at the sound of your voice, dropping the broom and whipping around to look at you

"...Y/N..?" he spoke softly, he knew you mostly from Hueso Jr, but even before his son Introducing you to him, he has known your family/Friends for years as regulars at the Restaurant, ever since he moved from The Painted City to the Hidden City, they would order their pizza from his family.

"Where have you been?! Your familia (Or friends if you have shit family) has torn up the Hidden City in search of you!" he attempted to come off as calm but ended up sounding like a parent Scolding their child.

You looked ashamed; you couldn't get out everything you wanted to say, simply because you couldn't find the courage or the words, so the only words that fell from your mouth were "I was kidnapped...."

He seemed to stay silent for a moment, trying to register your words, once he understood the severity of the situation he sighed

"Come on, Mi Hijo (My Boy), let us call your Friends/Family to bring you home." he grabbed your hand softly and guided you into the kitchen, once you both were in there, he let go of your hand and reached for the phone.

He could only dial the first number or so before a loud crash echoed from the main dining area

"Hijo de Puta..." (Son of a Bitch) he hissed under his breath, snapping his head over to you and (Bluntly) quietly said "Get in the island cabinets, don't come out unless I tell you to." before he shoved you towards the island in the middle of the Kitchen.

You quickly scrambled to get into the cabinet, trying to find a position where you could stay comfortably for as long as it took Señor Hueso to investigate the noise.

There was silence for a few seconds before a series of loud banging, shouting, and what sounded like a crunch happened.

"¡Pedazo de mierda!" (You piece of Shit!) you heard Leo shout, before continuing in Spanish; "¡Dime dónde está el novio de mi hermano pequeño!" (Tell me where my little brother's boyfriend is!)

"¡No sé de qué estás hablando, gilipollas!" (I do not know what you are talking about, asshole!) is all you heard before another crunch and a loud scream, you flinched, you knew if you went out that you would get taken back to the sewers, but if you remained then Hueso would die

'Sorry I didn't listen, Señor Hueso' you thought, but maybe he would forgive you, hopefully.

You stepped out of the cabinet, taking a deep breath before going out and mentally prepare to face possibly the worst scene.

You winced as you saw Señor Hueso's femur + one of his ribs were broken, luckily it would heal quickly as Yokais are known for taking only a few days to a week or two to heal broken bones.

Leo was torn up too, blood oozed from his arm, face, and leg, but without a doubt, Hueso's injuries were worse by Magnitudes.

"Leonardo!" was all you could muster to say to that horrible mutant, he whipped his head around and grinned at you

"Entonces, el niño decidió salir del clóset con su cuñado~" (So, the little boy decided to come out to their brother in law~) He purred out in a sickly-sweet manner.

Señor Hueso looked over at you as well, fury crossed his face for a split second before he saw your face, he knew what you were thinking, that this was the only way everyone would walk out alive, he winced in pity and empathy towards you, knowing that the minute you step out of the Pizzeria, you were at the mercy of the Four brothers, who were rumored (but was accepted as true) to never show kindness, compassion, and most of all; mercy.

The brother in blue walked over to you, grabbing you rather harshly and said, "You're lucky my brother is so head over heels for you, or I already would have put you down like a dog in the street." his tone was emotionless, he was stating a fact; like its cold outside.

He opened up a portal back to the sewer, but before he crossed the threshold, he looked back at Señor Hueso "Haz un truco como ese otra vez, y me aseguraré de que tu hijo no viva más allá de la escuela intermedia." (Pull a stunt like that again, and I will make sure your son doesn't live past middle school.) he said, coldly, as he threw you through the portal, before jumping in after you.

Michelangelo bolted over to you, instantly picking you up and whispering sweet compliments into your ears as he stole your oh-so-warm body heat.

"You couldn't have been a SMIDGE softer with my lover?!" Mikey hissed, already forming plans to baby you and make Hueso pay

"Would you rather me have not gotten him at all?" Leo shot back, which make Mikey shut up

Luckily for you (And rather unluckily for Hueso) Mikey wholeheartedly believes you were kidnapped; he couldn't fathom why you would EVER want to leave him, He's delusional

"Micheal." Donnie said, calmly getting his brother's attention, Mikey made a noise of acknowledgement, not wanting to take his eyes off of you

"Why don't you go get the First Aid Kit out of my lab for Leo" Donnie stated, Mikey sighed and got up, telling you he would be right back

Once Mikey was out of sight, you knew you were dead, Donnie, Leo, and Raph loomed over you, grinning cruelly; Leo squatted down to your height

"Do that again and I'll break both of your legs, you can fool Mikey because he loves you, but not us, we won't fall for your cheap tricks" Leo said with a glare, his brothers nodding

You knew you were never getting out of this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sorry it's ass.

[samwisegamgeeee]

hey, I loved your enby poem in spanish so much. you mentioned it being a first draft, I was wondering if you finalized you posted the completed version of it somewhere, or if you're still working on it, if you could let me know if and when you finished ? again I adored it and how you played off of a trait of spanish that's just not able to be translated to english (it reminded me a lot of some of the stuff virgil did using latin in the aeneid and in a massive language nerd)

If you couldn't tell, I'm a massive language nerd too hahaha. I'm so glad you liked my poem! I've copy and pasted the final version below.

“Masculino como el amor, femenino como la espada”

Si tienes que usar el masculino conmigo, usa el masculino como lo usas para el azúcar para el lobo el amor y el mar. Pero si tienes que usar el femenino, úsalo como lo usas para la linde para la tierra la guerra y la mar. Llámame masculino como el día como el melocotón el cuerpo y el cometa. O, llámame femenino como la noche como la piedra la alma y la mano. Masculino como el viento, femenino como la tormenta. El hueso, la sangre. El mito, la magia. El sol, la luna. Si tienes que usar el masculino conmigo, o si tienes que usar el femenino, llámame femenino con la boca y la lengua o llámame masculino con los dientes y los pulmones. O si puedes llámame por mi nombre. Llámame yo.

Translation: Masculine like love, feminine like the sword

If you have to use the masculine for me, use the masculine like you use it for sugar for the wolf love and the sea. But if you have to use the feminine, use it like you use it for the boundary for earth war and the Sea. Call me masculine like the day like the peach the body and the comet. Or, call me feminine like the night like the stone the soul and the hand. Masculine like the wind, feminine like the storm. The bone, the blood. The myth, the magic. The sun, the moon. If you have to use the masculine for me, or if you have to use the feminine, call me feminine with your mouth and your tongue or call me masculine with your teeth and your lungs. Or if you can call me by my name. Call me myself.

The Pizza Game (there is no pizza in the apocalypse)

A Rise of the TMNT fic

Chapter 1 (Prologue) : How it Started

Summary:

“Wow. So that’s it. We’re really out of pizza. Forever.” Mikey leaned back in his chair, somber. “Not forever. Just as long as the Krang are here. Once we beat them, people can go back to growing tomatoes and wheat and yeast and milking cows.” Amended Donnie. “In the mean time we just… have to not think about it.” Raph suggested. “I am not exaggerating when I say: that’s literally impossible,” moaned Leo. “Wait wait, what if we make it like The Game? As soon as you think about it, you lose. The longer you go without thinking about it, you win.” Suggested Raph. --- or 5 times pizza is (not supposed to be) mentioned in the apocalypse, and 1 time the Apocalypse is cancelled and there is free pizza Basically How I think the turtles coped with a world where they "ate rats and leaves"

Ao3 Link

Chapter 1(you are here) | Chapter 2>

It started with the end. Cliché right?

The krang invasion took a lot from the world. One of the worst things it did to the Hamato family, was take Pizza.

Four exhausted no longer teenager (well except for Mikey who was still 19), mutant ninja turtles shuffled into the Rebel base.

“I’m so hungry. How much food are we stocked up with?” Raph asked as he zombie walked to a bench to sit down.

“I don’t know how much there is, but I know what I want.” Mikey said.

“If you say what I think you’re going to say-“ Leo squinted at his youngest brother.

“Pizza!”

“-aaaaaand you said it. Mikey you KNOW we don’t have the stuff for that right?”

“I know! It’s just…” there was a sniffle “I miss it so much!” he sobbed.

“I know little brother.”  Leo patted the orange turtle’s shell in consolation.

“Thoughtful hum. We could approximate a pizza with ground up oat paste, those dried tomatoes, and that fungus Draxum grew last week?” Donnie suggested.

Three emphatic “NO”s were groaned back in response.

“My beloved brilliant brother, that is by far the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard you say.”

“I don’t think that fungus is meant for Human, Mutant, Or Yokai consumption.”

“Wait. Wait wait wait wait, speaking of Yokai…” The blue banded turtle pulled out his communication device (couldn’t really call it a phone. The cell towers no longer worked, and had so much mystic spells for communication embedded in it, Donnie refused to even call it technology anymore) and scrolled through the contacts before selecting one.

It rang once before there was a click of answer.

“Senor Hueso! Hola mi amigooo!” Leo sang.

“Whatever it is, the answer is no.”

“Aw don’t be like that Hueso!”

“Pepino, do you have any idea what time it is?”

“Hm? It’s only-“ Leo looked at the time. It was a little after midnight. “Eugh boy. Sorry Hueso, I didn’t realize it was so late. Wait you answered super quick anyway, why are you still up?”

“I was doing inventory of all my supplies, thank you very much for interrupting that.”

“Oh so perfect timing! We were wondering If you had anything to make a pizza with?” Leo asked hopefully.

The line was quiet for a moment and they would have thought they’d been hung up on if it weren’t for the line still being open.

“And just who is ‘we’?” Hueso questioned.

“HI HUESO! Me and Donnie and Raph are here too!” Mikey shouted over the line, face lighting up with hope at the non-rejection.

“Ah, so four, ever growing Mutant Ninja Turtles.” There was a sigh, and the brother’s leaned in, holding their breath awaiting the verdict if there would be pizza or not, “Yes, I believe I have enough supplies to scrape together a couple pizzas-”

Mikey and Raph got ready to cheer, but Leo held up a hand to wait. Hueso hadn’t said if they could come over yet.

“- and you may come and eat them.” Hueso finished.

“Hueso, you’re the best Skeleton Man we know!” Leo said while his brothers loudly cheered. “You’re still at the Old Water Station, right?” Hueso confirmed.

“We’ll be over in a minute!” Leo chirped as he pulled out his swords and opened a portal.

The four brothers stepped through to just outside of the building.

Senor Hueso had moved there shortly after the beginning of the invasion. The laundromat that had served as an entrance to Run of the Mill had been damaged, and it was no longer a safe section of the city to be in. It had still taken all four brothers and an appearance of Dr. Delicate Touch to convince the skeleton Yokai to leave.

(The Hidden City itself hadn’t been found by the krang, but all the damage that was happening above ground, made it an unstable area to be and a lot of the yokai population had left as well. Most of the city as well as other mystic safehavens were sealed off, not allowing anyone in or out to prevent the krang from finding them and gaining mystic weapons.)

The water station was highly defended and well protected in a section of city that they’d managed to keep the krangazoids out of.

It was a vital place since it provided clean water, and with Hueso setting up a kitchen inside, it was also a source of food for many of the civilians. They had even started a greenhouse garden shortly after moving in. The turtles helped out when they could, so they knew the place pretty well.

The four turtles walked around to the side of the building where they knew there was an entrance hatch, and they slipped inside.

They found Senor Hueso carrying a couple boxes toward the area that had been turned into a kitchen.

“Hey Senor Hueso, thanks for having us!” Raph called as they walked up to him.

“You could have given me a few moments to at least get the dough ready.” Hueso sighed.

“Sorry, we just got really excited!” Leo apologized.

“Michelangelo, you will help me.” He waved for Mikey to follow him.

“Sure thing, Bone Man!” Mikey said excitedly beginning to follow the skeleton into the kitchen.

“Can I help?” Leo asked excitedly. He totally wasn’t hoping to snag an early bite.

“After the last time when you nearly burnt down my kitchen?!” Hueso scoffed, “NO.”

“Aaaaw come on Hueso, that was an accident!” Leo pleaded as the rest of his family chuckled.

It HAD been an accident. Leo had been helping Hueso out when he got a call for back up and he forgot to shut the oven off, or to tell Senor Hueso that he had left. Twenty minutes later, Hueso walked into a kitchen filled with smoke as whatever it had been was burnt beyond recognition.

“You may get everyone some water if you must do something.” Hueso offered.

“Fiiine,” Leo slumped in disappointment. Getting water wasn’t going to get him to pizza faster, but he didn’t want to risk being denied pizza either. “Always a waiter and never a chef” he muttered to himself.

“Senor Hueso, would you mind if I also took an inventory of your supplies?”

“I do not see why not,” Hueso raised an eye ridge at the genius turtle, “but why?”

“April has connections with some other groups of isolated civilians and resistance members. They’ve been looking to do some trading to cover some necessities. Food in exchange for medical supplies and such things.” Donnie explained.

“Hmmm that is fine, just don’t go trading away my supplies before asking me first.”

“I sincerely thank you. Come Raphael! We have data to collect!” Donnie rubbed his hands together eagerly and began walking to the boxes of supplies.

“Sure thing Dee. Mikey, let us know when the pizza is ready,” Raph called over his shoulder before following Donnie.

“Will do!” Mikey chirped back.

“Well, we better get going if you want to eat anytime soon.” Hueso and Mikey headed into the kitchen.

Hueso pulled out the necessary ingredients out of a box and handed them to Mikey. They divided the tasks and set to work.

“So Hueso, have you heard from your brother lately?” Mikey asked as he got the toppings chopped and ready.

“I received a letter from Piel a week ago. He said he was still in the Caribbean. He and his crew managed to … what is the phrase you use “Smack Down”? three of the cargo ships of the krang. He also said he managed to find a few pineapple plants that had survived the drought. He told me he’d give me one the next time he’s here, but we’ll see.”

Mikey raised an eyebrow in question.

“He can never resist a pineapple.” Hueso said fondly. “They’re his favorite.”

“Oh man. Pineapple. Ya know, I bet if we had pineapple right now, even Donnie would gladly have it as a topping.” Mikey mused.

“Well, I’m afraid you all will have to settle for old sausage, night worms, and spinach.”

“Oooo Nightworms! A classic Run of the Mill topping.” Mikey sighed happily.

---

30 minutes later Mikey and Hueso walked out of the kitchen and presented the hot pizzas to the three other turtles waiting at one of the tables. Donnie and Raph had just finished the inventory a few minutes prior. 

“Oh that smells SO GOOD!” Leo said, as he and both his brothers stared at the pizzas with stars in their eyes and drooling in anticipation.

“You muchachos better enjoy these pizzas. They are likely going to be the last ones.” Hueso told them as he and Mikey set the pizzas onto the table.

Leo nearly fell off his chair as he whipped around to stare at Hueso, “What?! No no, don’t say that!” Say it ain’t so!!!” He pleaded as he grabbed Hueso’s shoulders.

“Yes I’m afraid this is the Last Pizza I’ll be able to make.” Hueso removed Leo’s hands from his shoulders, and turned the turtle back towards the table. “That is the last of my tomato sauce and cheese. I used up the last of my flour months ago. This is actually a cauliflower crust. Gluten free.”

“Wait, Hueso, you’re letting us eat your final pizzas? You didn’t have to do that.” Raph looked at him with wide eyes.

“Of course I did not have to do anything. It seems only right that my most loyal customers get the last ones. Especially when they are fighting those caras de tuberculo recocido.”

Leo nearly choked on his water as he wheezed. Raph smacked him on his back to help.

“Oh I am SO using that!” Leo wheezed to himself.

“What did Hueso say?” Raph asked amused as his brother was nearly falling off the chair laughing.

“He- He called-“ Leo tried to say before wheezing again. He slowly recovered. “He called them Overcooked Tuber Faces AHAHHAHA” Leo broke into laughter again.

“Tuber?” Raph asked, confused, but Leo’s laughter was contagious and he was beginning to laugh himself.

“Like what you call ‘beetroots’” Hueso said with a smirk. Leo’s laughter also getting to the bone man.

Mikey gasped and shouted “OH MY GOSH THEY DO LOOK LIKE OVERCOOKED BEETROOTS!” before he too broke into laughter.

Donnie’s face was scrunched up as he tried to hold in a laugh and failed.

“I am glad you all think I am so funny,” Hueso chuckled after they had laughed for a minute. “But do not let my pizza get cold! Eat, EAT!” He commanded.

“Senor Hueso, I sincerely thank you,” Donnie said as he grabbed a slice reverently

They ate the pizza one slice at a time, trying to savor it as much as they could.

But all good things must come to an end.

“Man what are we going to do now? No more pizza? That makes up like, 90% of our diet!” Leo exclaimed.

“Actually, before the invasion, it made up approximately 71.389% of our diet. And since the invasion began, has been decreasing an average of 1.487% a month.”

“Is there really no way you can get more pizza ingredients?” Raph asked Hueso.

“Not unless you want to try feeding and housing livestock in order to get the cheese and meat toppings. Or grow wheat to grind into flour. Or if you know how to grow and cultivate yeast?”

“That… sounds very time and resource consuming. I’m not sure even the more isolated sections of the resistance further west where there’s less krang have the supplies necessary. Although there could be old government compounds that possibly hold more supplies.” Donnie stated.

“I don’t know… would the head honchos allow us to make deals and trades just to get pizza supplies?”

“Who are you calling a head honcho?”

“Ya know that self-proclaimed government leader guy. Agent Knight?”

“You mean Bishop? Yeah, no. I don’t think he’d allow trades of government supplies just so we can have pizza again. Wouldn’t want to trade with that shmuck anyway.”

“Guess it’s back to raising livestock ourselves then.”

“It’d be nice to have a pet cow. We could get fresh milk and learn how to make cheese!” Mikey said excitedly.

“And just what are you gonna feed this pet cow?” Raph asked.

“Ummm…. Grass?”

“And where are you going to get this grass? And where are you going to keep the cow?”

“Okay okay I get it. No pet cow.” Mikey frowned. “Unless Hueso let’s me grow grass in the green-“

“I am afraid not. There is hardly enough room for the everything we are growing now, we can’t have a section just for grass.”

“Darn.”

“Wait Hueso did you say this was the last of your tomato sauce? I thought you and Hueso Jr. were growing tomato plants?” Leo questioned.

“We have managed to grow some tomatoes, but it isn’t enough to make sauces with. We have limited space in the greenery and we are trying to grow foods that are a little more filling and nutritious. Mainly potatoes, spinach, broccoli, and cauliflower. Speaking of-“

Hueso turned to Donnie, “I assume you took inventory of that as well?”

“Affirmative, and I have already sent you a copy of all the data I collected.” Hueso thanked him.

“Wow. So that’s it. We’re really out of pizza. Forever.” Mikey leaned back in his chair, somber.

“Not forever. Just as long as the Krang are here. Once we beat them, people can go back to growing tomatoes and wheat and yeast and milking cows.” Amended Donnie.

“In the mean time we just… have to not think about it.” Raph suggested.

“I am not exaggerating when I say: that’s literally impossible,” moaned Leo. 

“Wait wait, what if we make it like The Game? As soon as you think about it, you lose. The longer you go without thinking about it, you win.” Suggested Raph.

“But there’s really no “winning” to The Game,” Donnie pointed out.

“Sure there is. It’s whoever can go the longest time without thinking ‘bout it.”

“Okay so what’s the winner gonna get?” Mikey asked.

“Uuuhhh bragging rights?” Raph said with a wince at lack of a better prize.

“Boo. How about winner gets The First Slice of Real Pizza once we send these caras de tuberculo recociodo back to where they came from and we have cheese and tomatoes and flour again?” Leo suggested.

“Not a bad prize I must admit.” Donnie said, and Mikey and Raph nodded in agreement with him.

“We’ll have to let Pops, April and Casey know about the Game too, so they know not think about it,” Raph

“Oh shit guys. April’s gonna kill us for not saving her a slice. No worse. She’ll just be disappointed and sick CASEY on us.” Leo slide down his seat in despair.

“I already have that covered.” Mikey said proudly before brandishing a box with a small pizza inside of it. It was the same as they had eaten, minus the night worms, which April didn’t like, and Casey didn’t care for.

“You’re a lifesaver Angelo.”

“Wait does this mean that April and Casey actually get the last pizzas?”

“Like I said, for my most loyal and best krang fighting customers” Hueso smirked.

“I’m HURT, Senor Hueso!” Leo gasped and placed a hand dramatically on his chest.

“I’m sure you’ll live. Now if you all will pardon me, I am going to sleep now. You may see yourselves out.”

“Thanks again Hueso, you’re the best!” They all shouted their thanks as he walked off to where he slept.

“Buenas noches,” he yawned and waved over his shoulder at them as he left.

One portal trip and pizza sharing conversation later, the turtle brothers had explained the new Pizza game to April, Casey, and Splinter.

Donnie marked the time and date and announced, “No more talking or thinking about pizza! Starting … NOW!”

“This is going to be impossible.”

Chapter 2>

[realmsalot]

Okay so someone asked me some questions about Homograhs AU so here's my answers copy-pasted on to here.

What does 12 sherreder think of rise splinter during the 12 series bit of the timeline?

Well, first things first I can easily say that 12 Shredder thinks that Rise Splinter is dead, much like every else who knew him. Other than that 12 Shredder thinks that Rise Splinter was a vain and dishonorable man who chased fame over his clan. In "Cousins" when Lou Jitsu went to 12 Splinter for a favor, 12 Shredder was definitely annoyed that that's all he came for. However, 12 Shredder definitely admires how much influence the movie star had in life and thought it would beneficial to have someone like that under him. It's part of the reason Chris Bradford was a part of the Foot Clan.

And does the fam ever realise that 12 splinter and rise mikey met before?

The rise fam knew that Rise Mikey had met a mutant rat while he was lost, he kept talking about it and even made a card to give the rat if he ever sees him again, but they don't figure out it was 12 Splinter for a while. As for the 12 fam, Splinter only really tells 12 Mikey about it when everyone is asleep during the invasion. Telling him that he hallucinated a younger version of him while he was feral and wandering the sewers. It's a scene I'm gonna write out. It won't be until the main fic that everyone finds out the two actually met. And then Rise Mikey will put his thank you card on 12 Splinter's shrine that the 12 turtles have in the lair.

, also If you're still struggling with the rat king maybe he was to focussed on trying to get revenge on the 12 fam to focus as on rise splinter or maybe rise splinter left and the tots tried looking for him with rise April and are panicking heck maybe both splinters fought but 12 splinter thought that it was a rat that got mutated and thought rise died while rise thought he was hallucinating.

Thank you so much for these suggestions! These will definitely help out! I kinda started to ignore the Rat king after a while and focus my attention on other parts of the AU, but this now has my mind buzzing!

Also what do the 12 side of the fam think of hueso and big mama?

For Hueso, they all like him well enough. He's a good guy that makes great pizza and owns a restaurant they can all actually sit down a eat in like normal people. 12 Mikey likes him best tho. I've mentioned that they first met when Hueso while serving yokai at Murakami's restaurant. Hueso came in accusing Mikey of poaching his customers from his pizzeria and Mikey was just like "YOKAI PIZZAIRA!!!!" And then forcibly became friends with him.

As for Big Mama, I can't go into it because it's REALLY spoilery but basically, she's on their shit list.

(Also never apologize for a long comment, this made my day!)

[maxdark158]

Making my own rottmnt timeline (that includes lost episodes) and i think I'm going to start making vent posts instead of finding new friends to harass with my problems until they're exhausted/hj

So far I've put the episodes in a tenuous order. Because they aired out of order (evidence: hypno part deux happens at the same time as repo mantis but airs well after repo mantis AND the appearance of the turtle tank, also the first episode to show hueso is the fast and furriest, NOT the episode they meet him) I've had to basically just. Use context clues to the best of my ability and a lot of pain, suffering, and some tears. Now I'm going to try and make a timeline based on. Ya know. Time. As much as I can anyway with the like 4 dates the series provides

Below the cut is copy pasted woes I've sent to a friend

(These messages are sent to a friend over 24 hours of agony)

Fml btw

I'm trying to figure out a timeline for rottmnt

It is n ot easy

Also... I think I'm going to make my life even more hellish and include the lost episodes

I do actually have a pretty great source for those luckily!

https://turtlepedia.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:Archer.Warrior/The_Lost_ROTTMNT_Episodes

There's a number of episodes that have nothing besides their episode name, some of which one of the creators said could be fake episide names. It's mentioned in this post

https://www.tumblr.com/yujateaandpi/704460357578670080/our-happygirl500-fan-so-ive-been-digging?source=share

these are all the episodes that have NO released stuff besides the episode name. not a description, not any concepts, nothing. some of them i do think are real (april showers and mayhem flowers) but some of them. no idea tbh

the post discusses 2 that person thinks are real based on context clues but yeah idk how many of these ill include in my timeline given i have NOTHING to go off of 😭

April showers mayhem flowers I think is to address mayhem leaving

Maybe splash hogs is something to do with the shell hogs or meat sweats?

In the og battle nexus NY, big mama and shredder were supposed to fall down to the hidden city, her hotel completely crashing down through NY. Maybe spiders web widens was supposed to be them helping big mama, or trying to, something referenced in the aired version of the episode when splinter tried to help her?

Friend: I think that could be likely. Read something awhile a back stating that, season 2 was gonna be more focused on big mama as the villain n so on and that.. would've really fit

Yepp. Cause the funny thing is that battle nexus NY was supposed to happen MID SEASON

And after that, they're basically trying to find her and the shredder cause they both booked it, racing against the foot to do so

Also something I realized since I'm obsessing over rottmnt atm:

It's Mrs. Cuddles

Who the FUCK is she married to??

-later-

I can feel my brain deteriorating

So fast and the furriest, newsworthy, and mascot melee, HAVE to occur before Bug Busters in the timeline. That also means hypno part deux and repo HAVE to occur before then, as well as donnie's gifts and newsworthy. Mascot Melee is the latest to occur in that bunch, because it's the only one post turtle tank debut. The rest are either the debut episode or don't have any turtle tank

So far so good, right?

Thing is timeline wise I'm trying to also follow along mystic power trends, so raphs episodes struggling with mystic powers/not yet doing a full body mode has to also be before bug busters. War and pizza, minotaur maze, and maybe longest fight? If I remember right?

Well longest fight does have to be earlier in the timeline because raph says "the freaky flame guys are back stealing jewelry", kind of implying this is the second time they've seen the foot, so it's def earlier/mid season

Friend: I admire you for how dedicated you are to this- doing what Nick refused to do.

That does sound right!

(Thank you dude that helped a lot)

Not to mention they underestimate the flame guys enough to keep watching skateboarding, cause they got a decently good victory against them the first time

Minotaur maze ALSO has to be pre turtle tank, because that's the episode they discover the mutant pizza place, which they visit when trying to find the turtle tankI think the gumbus happened while donnie was building the turtle tank. It's an introduction episode, so its earlier in the series, but there's 0 donnie (or raph, but raph could also be doing his own thing or helping get materials for don)I do think there should be some episodes between repo and turtle tank, because that was NOT a quick build, but there's only like 3 episodes without donnie and 2 of them have to happen a bit later

You got served has to happen after portal jacked, because portal jacked is when leo went from "annoying ass gremlin" to "begrudgingly my nephew". Why would hueso call for Leo's help pre portal jacked with how he was acting during the start of portal jacked? I think portal jacked is after the fast and the furriest, and cause Leo's been going there a lot he sees hueso as an adult he can get help from even tho hueso is annoyed af by him

And portal jacked should also happen earlier cause leo still doesn't understand how to get to the hidden city on his own, but if it happened after splinter began getting involved again not only would he be able to ask for the doohickey again, he'd probably *go to his dad for help in the first place*

So portal jacked is definitely BEFORE shadows of evil, despite what air dates tell you

Leo's portal powers are also more improved than the start, he's able to make large portals and usually succeeds at making them, but he gets the location wrong. Its probably just before or after late fee, where he also makes a large portal, but seems unsure if it'll work. Probably similar timing to mutant menace too, cause he makes a large portal but doesn't control where it'll go very well

So portal jacked is earlier making you got served later so it can't happen before bug busters

Nothing but truffle is the other no donnie episode, it has to happen AFTER Mrs cuddles though because she's in the episode. It also happens after repo, which does mean it *could* be while donnie is building the tank, but it's kind of implied meat sweats has seen mikey more than once or twice.

Idk, tbh I have a lot of trouble placing nothing but truffle

so far this is the timeline im most sure on. the highlighted episodes I have concrete evidence for their placement. i've inferenced the other two tbh but they make sense

as you can see, i havent even gotten to bug busters yet. it's so confusing rip

i think purple jacket has to be pre turtle tank because if the dragons could steal donnie's leathal weapon filled tank and use it, why would they NOT?? but they only stole his battle shells and tech bo, so i presume the tank wasn't finished yet so they didn't bother stealing it

shell in a cell just has to happen earlier to allow ghost bear to continue being a nuicence, i put it where it makes sense i think? may move it an episode or two higher or lower, but it's definitely within this list somewhere

I just thought this placement made sense cause the raph/leo fight in minotaur maze wasn't really resolved, so that tension could carry over to shell in a cell in which they make up and fight together

Smart lair I think is post bullhop, and bullhop is ABSOLUTELY post pizza pit

Things get more muddled after bug busters

The only things that have to happen a certain way is Pizza Pit -> Bullhop -> Smart Lair -> Mind Meld. There can be episodes between them, but they have to be in that order

-later-

Oh my god

Oh my god

Cloak and swaggart might be WAY EARLIER in the timeline than i ever expected what

There's a potential cameo of the Sandro Brothers pre mutation in it???

I'm losing my mind this would move every sunita episode up by a LOT

Cause this is the last sunita episode!!! But it has to happen pre evil league of mutants??

Oh my god

Now are they wearing cloaking brooches or name tags?

Probably name tags

Cause of the shape. Brooches are. Well. Brooches. Very semicircle. These are flat

But also this fucks with the timeline so badly?? Cause now shelldon has to be moved up, but also splinter is taking them on a training mission?? He didn't begin seriously training them until AFTER shadows of evil!

Fuck it. They're cloaking brooches. They panicked cause "I recognize that pig dude"

-later-

Should mystic library be before or after shadows of evil?

It's definitely later, cause raph uses full form mystic powers and increased size, his mystic powers are very adept. But how late?

Friend: Aftwr

Thank you

-later-

Tbh the biggest wrench in everything is Snow Day

Because Snow Day clearly takes place in *winter*

But there is NO WINTER IN ANY OTHER EPISODE

So it is just. An outlier

-later-

(NO SHAME ON THE PERSON WHO MADE THE INCORRECT TIMELINE BTW, THIS SHIT IS H ARD, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND MISTAKES)

If you read through all that thank you, you're lovely

[coolguycy]

Nonsense question cause I'm past my bedtime, how dp the teenage mutant ninja turtles get pizza money? Ninja isn't a job

✨theft✨

That’s actually a good question. I.. have no idea

I think for rise there are two plausible options

1) they’re living off that sweet sweet Lou Jitsu money from splinters days in the spotlight (unlikely, given what I imagine splinters spending habits look like but not completely out of the realm of possibility)

2) Donnie, being the expert hacker he is, unlocked an infinite money glitch (ie stealing from the rich, a personal favorite headcanon of mine)

Or maybe they’re just straight up robbing people. Hard to say.

We actually have seen them earn money in the show by pretending to be nyc mascots and letting people take selfies with them, but that was more of a one-off thing.

Then there was that time with Hueso (not sure if I’ve mentioned him- he’s the owner of Run of the Mill, a Hidden City pizza place the turtles frequent). Leo and Mikey were hired as one-time wait staff to help Hueso when he accidentally booked two rival mob bosses on the same night. They quickly fell into competition over their tips of small pink unicorns (Were they alive? Are they a common currency? Why did Mikey name all of them George? Unclear.)

Anyway here’s Mikey and his unicorns

[wtf-a-psychoanalysis]

Calm, Cool and Collected 4…

Is what the young Leo is feeling 2 weeks after he started his secret relationship with Yuichi. On his way to his date he hears the older turtle talking. In an over dramatic tone Leonardo-sensei practices his confession, “Oh Miyamoto, you're such a handsome rabbit man, but alas I have probably caused everything bad in your life… no don’t cry those pretty tears my…” the older turtle drones on to a rock with googly eyes and a bundle of hay pasted on to resemble the samurai rabbit, Miyamoto Usagi. It took a few minutes of making kissy faces at the rock for the older turtle to notice the younger turtle pretending to throw up by his doorway.

“Stop doing that ‘Son’ before you actually mess up my newly installed carpet.” Leonardo sensei laughed. “Besides I’m you, so if you call me gross then you’re calling yourself gross.”

“Well I don’t know ‘Dad’, fawning over old rabbit men is kinda gross. How old is he, forty? Pssh Practically a fossil” said Leo-kun. He still couldn’t have imagined seeing himself fawning over another rabbit. “Didn’t older me saw Yuichi once before the Kraang" the young Leo thought to himself.

“Usagi’s thirty-seven actually, I’m the one turning forty. I’ll be taking my fossil ass over to hang out with this nice rock here outside.” said Leonardo -sensei, taking his “Usagi yoRocko” with him. The younger, moving out of the doorway, throwing in a “Yeah, yeah, yeah “ as the older walked out, before his eyes widening in horror. “Mr. Usagi never mentioned his age at Huesos!” Leo-kun gasped to himself.

Both Leos know in order to deliver bad news you have to do it in style. Leo-kun wore a dark blue western style kimono over a graphic tee with a stylised kappa on the front and blue parachute pants with a wave pattern at the bottom of the legs. He was rocking back and forth on his heels at the alleyway entrance of the Hidden City community garden. Worried if Yuichi got caught by his dad sneaking out or cutting samurai lessons. 

“Hey, why did you want me to come early to our community garden date.” said the young rabbit who wore sporty blue cargo shorts, a dark navy sleeveless turtleneck and a blue scrunchie tying back his ears. “Your lucky Jiji was out today,” he said. Yuichi saw the concern in Leo’s eyes. He said nothing and grabbed the turtle's hand so he could be led to a calmer area.

“Your dad actually took up his offer!” groaned Yuichi now burying his face in the picnic blanket set up. Letting his fur cover the blue gingham before shooting back up to his feet, “Wait why didn’t you tell me he was making out with a rock version of my ‘dad’. That would have raised red flags.” Then again Yuich practiced his pick up lines that he didn’t get to use on a broom at Hueso’s.

“Well I’m sorry we’re practically the same person. What seems weird to others is normal to me” Leo said, opening the daifuku package he bought from the nearby convenience store, “Here, Eat this, it’ll calm you down.” Handing the mochi to the anxious rabbit, who munched on it with panic. Leo thought about the fairy tales Splinter told them as kids. There was one about a rabbit who made mochi for a sad princess who was separated from everyone she loved because she drank some potion. He remembered Raphs favorite was…

“The tale of princess Kaguya. He would always ask for it every night, though would cry at the end of it.” said a voice behind the bamboo trees.

“Did you say something Leo?” asked Yuichi. Leo shushed him, flailing his arms in a silent panic attack before pushing him to the ground, that's when Yuichi heard the deep chuckle of his ancestor. “Holy Shit” the young rabbit whispered. 

“That's really endearing, Leonardo, I wish I had more moments like that but…” said Miyamoto

“It will never be the same.”

“Exactly.”

“Hey there's this place, really close by actually, where I’ve always wanted to have a picnic date.” said the turtle nearing the secluded grove their younger counterparts were crouched down in. 

“Ok, Yui, time for some ninja portal time.” the younger Leo whispered, transporting himself and Yuichi to a nearby tree leaving their picnic set up behind. From that height he saw what the older Leo was wearing, it was a light blue kimono, like the ones Draxum likes to wear, with a sleeve pinned to the shoulder where he was missing an arm.

“Ew, Jiji is still wearing that old kimono.” Yuichi whispered. “Wha, wait what are they doing.” He leans in to get a better look at the scene, almost slipping out of the tree’s grasp. Thankfully Leo-kun was able to catch him.

Now with a better view, that was when Leo felt like had an out of body experience. He saw a version of himself laying down on the gingham that they had left out, staring lovingly at Miyamoto whose face hovered above him. With Leonardo-san lifting his head up and Miyamoto lowering his face down, their faces collide, creating a soft and sensual kiss. The scene was right out of an anime with petals framing the scene. It was like seeing through a crystal ball, catching a glimpse into the future. “Me and Yuichi could have something like that…” Leo-kun pondered.

Then the scene started to escalate with the older couple's hands starting to slide to other places. That's when the young couple decided to take their leave. Leo and Yuchi teleport to the east entrance of the garden. That's where they sat dumbfounded for a few moments.

“I must have dodged a nuclear bomb defeating the Kraang, what kind of apocalypse makes a turtle that horny.” The young Leo thought to himself, then he turned to Yuichi and asked, “What about you, Usagi? Wasn’t that your picnic stuff, should we go back for it”

“Ew, No! I definitely don't want that picnic blanket back.” Commented Yuichi, gagging at the thought. Then flashed another thought into his mind, “Oh what about my daifuku...” the rabbit complained. 

“I don’t know, your dad might like mochi as much as you" said Leo-kun

Silence followed.

Then, abruptly, the two exclaim unanimously saying “Your dad made out with my ‘dad’!” then following up with “He’s not actually my dad” then leading up to shock widening their eyes, they both yell “Wait, WHAT?!”

OKAY BET- UHHHH-

🥳 & 🤩

Thank you friend!

🥳 Why did you start writing fanfic?

If it's fanfic specifically, I started it as a way to cope and vent from the stress of my life. High school was a horrible time for me, and I found solace in writing fanfics.

At first it started as a way to vent. If you check my old works, particularly from the Undertale fandom, it was... a lot. It was very dark, experimental, but it was also filled with a lot of hurt/comfort.

It evolved into a way to explore ideas, particularly the AUs. I found that I enjoyed taking characters and expanding on them, going backwards and making them deeper, exploring their hypothetical past and deepening their character.

Then it became a way for me to express myself. I got so interested in writing stories and it expanded from there. Writing "what ifs", tropes, testing out ideas, and generally being very experimental with what I want to write. There were... a lot of fics that have been stuffed into the depths of hell, but overall, writing has evolved from being a coping mechanism, to something I really enjoy.

🤩 What led to your interest in the fandom?

Since I'm deep in the ROTTMNT fandom, I'll answer for that! I just LOVE the show! I knew it was around back in 2018 but back then I had no way of watching it. But immediately I was drawn to the unique character designs and I was very curious.

Then recently, this year, I got to watch the movie and OH BOY was that a trip! It had EVERYTHING I love about a story!

Great character design. Great writing. Deep characters. STELLAR animation! Just, the animation got me hooked at just how dynamic, fluid, and bright everything is! Then, of course, was the amazing storytelling of the whole movie. As a writer, that movie just hit all the right spots. I've gotten into a little play by play debate with my sister- who also got sucked into the fandom- about all the beautiful animation details and styles. We drove our other family members mad with our caffinated ramblings about the brushes they used for a scene in the movie lol.

Then I found a way to watch the actual show and my stars was I in deep.

It was funny, for one. The jokes were on point and I was wheezing through every single episode. I even made a live reaction to my friend just laughing over my favourite parts. The comedy was just something I love, my brand of humour.

The writing is awesome! Not just the normal fun episodes, which were great on their own. They manage to sneak in important plot points in what seems like typical episodes, but it does relate to the progression of the plot and story! Which, as a writer, I applaud them. They have gotten me saying "You had me in the first half, not gonna lie" more than once. Mixing fun light-hearted episodes and plot progressing episodes, and doing it in such a way that's so smooth and almost realistic, that's what I love.

The characters were so well written. I fell in love with every character, even the one I didn't expect to adore! Baron Draxum started off as just "Oh another villain, cool" but then I was just HEAD OVER HEELS in love with his character!! Not just Draxum! I love Hueso! I love Cassandra! I love April! I even have a fondness for the other villains like MeatSweats, Hypno-pottamous and Warren Stone! That's not even mentioning the main turtle boys, whom I just ADORE!

The relationship with the brothers are just perfection! As a big sister of four, the dynamics were pretty accurate and I was enjoying every second of their interaction. The things they do are sometimes what me and my siblings do. Very chaotic, very loud. I understood Raph as a big sibling, I adore the relationship with Mikey and Leo, and I relate to Donnie for his autism.

Which!!! When I found out Donnie was autistic, I was surprised! He was very well written and as a fellow autistic, I kin very well to him. He helped me learn more things about myself that I didn't even know. The way the brothers treat him is also similar to how mine is. The more I watched and understood, the more in love with the show I got!

Again, the animation was stellar. I love it all! The style! The shots! The colors! The almost anime-like design to it! It was everything I love about animation!

And, of course, the potential storytelling this fandom has. I'm a sucker for good potential. It plays with tropes, flips them on their heads, and execute it so well that I just have to applaud them for it. Seriously, making Draxum this warring warrior scientist, and then just leaning into the dramatics. The whole relationship dynamic between Draxum and Splinter with the old "divorced parents co-parenting their children" is just delightful. Cassandra being so eccentric and energetic, you can't help but be swept by her energy. Switching the family dynamics of the turtle brothers was just genius, pure genius. Making the turtles look more humanoid and muscular and then making them both dramatic and proud, they knew what they were doing. The entire episode of the turtles dressing up. The ninpo powers. The Chad Kraang. The creators knew what they were doing and I am in awe at their magnificence.

This fandom is filled with passionate, creative, and amazing people! I've seen the stuff they have done and the dedication to this fandom (I do hope for a season 3) and its just been a fantastic experience all around! Y'all do have a fascination with angst though, just saying. There's... so much angst in this fandom and you eat it up more than the ORV fandom.

Anyway! That's all! Sorry for the long ask! Thanks for it though, it was fun! ^^

Chapter 7

TW: Mentions of death, anxiety, LOTS OF CURSING AND YELLING

Beginning / Previous / Next

( you guys can’t imagine the shit-eating grin I’m wearing as I sob rereading this. )

~*~*~*~*~

In the future…

“This is it…” April leans against the doorway, Raphael towering just behind her, but refusing to look into the room. Leo hesitantly steps in; His face is puffy and stained with salt along his cheeks. He’s trembling like a leaf in the wind as he takes in the mural.

Leonardo sits upon his tired feet. The wall before him is coated in vibrant, practiced strokes. The portrait subject is none other than an exact replica of his twin’s face. He takes note that his brother appears young in the painting, just like back home; Mikey painted this. He also takes note of a set of nunchucks nestled in the corner with several trinkets and a photograph of a wrinkled Michaelangelo, grinning, wedged between two other mutants. One of his thin, but toned arms is wrapped over the shoulder of a small axolotl mutant. His opposing hand rests on the knee of a tall, stern-looking salamander Yokai. The worn photograph is surrounded by an array of brightly colored candles, flickering quietly with the light breeze that dances in from the hall. There are several other images and drawings scattered around the room and plastered to the walls. Leonardo doesn’t recognize most of them, but he can pick out a few faces: Cass, Sunita, Señor Hueso and his son, and… Splinter.

The teen hears a loud slump before he is encompassed from behind. He wants to fight to hold, but can’t bring himself to. His brother is much larger now, but the contact is so familiar, he finds himself defenseless to its power. He lifts his shaking hands to grip onto the massive arm over his chest, tethering himself before he crumbles into the hug. Dead silence fills the air as Leonardo’s eyes flick across the wall. So many faces. God, there’s so many faces. He chokes on a couple sobs, his lungs burning in agony, before letting out a blood-curdling scream. April flinches at the sound, covering a quiet gasp with her hand as tears slip past her emotional blockade. Raphael tightens his hold on his baby brother. Wailing defeatedly at the wall before him, the boy doesn’t know if it’s anger or sadness coursing through him. As he digs his fingertips into Raphael’s embrace, he decides he feels grief: erratic, unrelenting, and not even entirely his own. He wants to hide, he wants to run, to tear down the pictures, to throw himself off a ledge, to hug his family, to sleep in a pile after a Jupiter Jim marathon. He needs to hear his father complaining about his back; to watch Raphael and April, carefree, sparring in the training room; to smell Mikey’s amazing cooking from the kitchen; and he desperately needs to feel his twin’s breathing as he leans against him while he clicks at his phone and chuckles at a video of a cat or a stupid angry Twitch streamer. His brothers and his father are still out there - just not here - but as he stares at the memorial before him, he feels as though he has already lost them. After all, in this future, Leonardo had lost them.

He’s drowning helplessly in his own mind till he senses a cool wetness, running across his shoulder and down his arm. The sensation makes him shiver as it tickles its way along his torso; It’s sobering, and it’s heartbreaking. His body turns inward with the weight of an exhausted warrior pressing against him. His breathing slows and his clutch relaxes. The two brothers take several minutes to quietly mourn in whichever way. April softly turns away a couple concerned passerbys who’ve come to make sure no one had been hurt, given the scream. She steadies herself against the doorway, fending off sleep-deprivation and crippling heartache. She can’t stand the only sound in the space being Raphael and Leonardo’s hushed weeping. She can’t afford to fall apart as well; She pretends as though she isn’t already whimpering into her hands as she watches over the pair.

The dense atmosphere is interrupted when Raphael’s voice croaks out, “They’re still out there. Your brothas are still out there… Leo will make sure it stays that way.”

The younger ninja shakes his head slowly, still recovering from the swelling in his brain. “Raph… You are my brother. These are my brothers. This… Krang… They took everything from us: From you.” Leo squeezes a couple times at the warrior’s fist, asking him gently to let go.

The giant’s head pulls back and his hold around the teenager falls. He whispers to the blue-banded boy, “This isn’t y’a fight. You’re gonna go home. You’re gonna be safe. This future? This ain’t something you’re gonna have to live with. I swear on my life, little brotha.”

Leonardo turns to him, his eyes glassy and red, “Your life doesn’t matter to them! None of these lives do! I-“ He digs his fingers into the dirt floor, scrunching his brow. He snags a handful of dust from the ground and stands. “I can’t-” His eyes peer at the mural, first for several seconds in sadness, then in a flash of rage. He launches the dirt towards Donatello’s portrait and growls, “Shit!”

Raphael winces at both the powder that now covers the purple-banded ninja’s eyes, and at Leonardo’s language. The eldest always tried his best not to curse, partially because his father would’ve had his head for setting a bad example. However, the middle brothers - especially Leo - always took a liking to profanities: usually when they were upset. “It’s funny, y’a know… How different you became in the future, sure, but also…,” the snapping turtle chuckled almost bitterly, “but also how you’re just the same.”

The teen seems to release some of his tension as he listens in to the older mutant’s words. “How so?,” he mumbles, still glaring daggers at the wall.

“Well,” Raph lifts his knee and places a hand upon it to assist him in standing. He grunts as he raises himself off the ground, “the first time you saw the portrait when Mikey finished it,” he steps forward, dusts off Donatello’s dark eyes, and points at a splatter of orange poking out from underneath the right iris. He continues with a bittersweet smile, “y’a threw his paintbrush at it. You were upset because you were convinced he was still alive. You never gave up. Y’a never do: sometimes to a fault.” He faces the younger ninja again and engulfs his shoulder with his large hand. “And you apologized, of course, but y’a still went searching every few days, for three years… Three. Years…Y’a kept looking for ‘im.,” Raphael’s voice wavers. “You never even actually stopped believing either. It’s just, with all the losses around you, y’a had so much responsibility, especially with Casey. After Cass died, you and y’a partner practically adopted ‘im.” The snapping turtle lets his hold slip down to Leo’s arm. “But your duties - your family - this war… Y’a grew up so quickly from the first attack to fallin’ through that portal.”

Leonardo snarls at the ground, “Great… I even managed to start a family, and that was taken away too.”

“That’s not the point, Leo…”

“Really?! Because I haven’t even heard of said ‘partner” yet! Let me guess! He’s somewhere on this stupid wall! Which one is he? Is he human? Yokai? A scientist? A warrior? Even maybe a nurse? I wouldn’t fucking know, because I can’t even begin to guess given how many goddamn faces there are!” He throws Raphael’s hand off his arm and attempts to level his height to the snapping turtle. “Casey has been out cold for three days! You and April haven’t slept a fuckin’ wink! Our brothers are dead, Raphael!” His voice crackles and any tears left in his eyes have dissipated. His tone is cold as ice when he continues through bared teeth, “Our father… is dead…” His chest heaves from overexertion. His vision is tunneled as he turns to the door. “I’m gonna send these assholes to Hell for what they did to my family.”

April blocks the exit, “Leon, you are out of your mind if you think we’re gonna let you try to take those guys head on.”

Raphael attempts to clutch the younger mutant’s hand, only to watch it be snatched away. “Please, Leo. Y’a need to listen to us. We’re gonna go after them, I promise, but we need a plan. We have to work togetha.” He sighs and slicks back his bandana, “That’s a lesson we learned tha hard way.”

The teen tsks and continues towards the door. He grabs hold of his katanas, “Then It’s a good thing I haven’t learned that one yet.” He stares down the woman in his path, “I’m going.”

The commander takes a single step forward, “Don’t you fuckin’ dare.”

Raphael’s eyes widen as a soft blue glow emits from Leonardo’s blades. “No…” He rushes forward, “Don’t do this, Leo!” He reaches out in desperation.

“Watch me.” With a flash, Leonardo slices a portal into the floor and falls through.

Raphael grabs nothing and crashes to his arms and knees, “Gah!” He holds his side and winces in pain.

“That asshole’s gonna get himself killed.”  April whispers as her terror-struken gaze meets Raph’s.

The snapping turtle clumsily stands and scowls, “Not if I can help it… We’re goin’ in after him. I am gonna go grab him by the shell, drag him back here, and beat his ass myself…” As he storms past her, April knows he would never lay a violent finger on his brother, but his language and the darkness under his brow could convince her otherwise.

Content warnings!! Mentions of death

The ringing in Leo’s ears was deafening. After his humiliating defeat, the best thing he could think to do was find someplace quiet to think. The single place in the lair that offered such solitude was Splinter’s room— the only single-person bedroom in the entirety of their home. It was small and Leo could barely fit through the doorway, and laying on the bed made him feel colossal, but he didn't care. He buried his face in the pillow and it smelled like his father and that was all that he cared about.

He didn't care about losing the spar. Sure, it was a bad sting to his self esteem, but at least his dad hadn’t been there to see it. But maybe if Splinter was there he could have talked some sense into Leo before he made a fool of himself in front of his brothers. He didn't know what he was doing and he admitted that to none but himself. He had been leader for almost four years— and even before then he had always taken well to bossing his brothers around. That’s why he had been made leader in the first place! Because Splinter saw something in him and chose to highlight that above all his flaws and faults. Leo still didn't know why!

As a kid, though he had always taken charge, his personality wasn’t just that. Not like what he was reduced to now. He remembered running the sewers with his brothers and mapping out the tunnels with their minds alone and how he was always the one who could find the way home even when Donnie’s techniques failed. He remembered Splinter taking them up to the storm drains so they could watch the parades go by in the streets. The colors, the people dancing, the music sounding off and filling Leo with such a bubbly, warm joy that he just wanted to dance along to any song that carried down the tunnels.

That was what ninjitsu was to him at first. Dancing. Memorizing the moves and following through as fluid and free as the dancers he saw on the streets and in movies. Trying to emulate what he saw— feeling the melody in the very blood that coursed through his veins. Then a fun hobby turned into an obligation. It wasn’t a game anymore— it wasn’t something to enjoy or a fun thing to practice in his free time. It was his duty, his responsibility. His honor. And he couldn’t let his father down!

He wasn’t human and he could never be human. He shouldn’t want to be human! He was a turtle— he was a mutant— he was Splinter’s son! He had to live up to all the stories he was told about how great he would be and he had to live up to his father’s expectations and he had to live up to what the people in the city needed him to be! He didn't need to dance, he didn't need to like his work—he shouldn’t like his work! Work is work and work isn’t meant to be enjoyed. He was a savior— a messiah in the form of a grotesque monstrosity and it was him and only him that could protect his brothers and the city and the earth and he just wished the ringing in his ears would stop—

Then he opened his eyes again. The ringing wasn‘t just in his ears. It was all around him. An alarm— Donnie’s alarm— sounding a warning of some enemy approaching. Leo looked up and dried his tears just as Donnie came rushing into the room.

“Leo! An alarm went off in the south tunnel! We should check it out! Are you gonna…?”

Leo stood up quickly, shoving his way past Donnie and reclaiming his swords on the way to the entry tunnel. He didn't dare look up at any of his brothers or their counterparts as he passed them by. He was a leader and he had to be strong and silent and he wasn’t allowed to cry. He wasn’t allowed to be weak. He had to be the best— he was the best! Even if Leonardo had beaten him.

They traversed the tunnels in silence. Leo’s brothers were all gathered around him, Mikey with his head hung low like a puppy and remarkably silent. Donnie gave Leo space instead of being right at his side as usual, and Raph put some distance between himself and his Leo for completely different reasons. He needed a chance to cool off before he strangled Leo for how the stubborn leader had been acting the past few dates. He could strangle him later, Raph told himself. Just wait until the sensei’s are safe.

Leonardo was in the lead of his family, Michelangelo clinging to his arm for security against the rushing water that tried to force him off his feet. Leonardo, slippery as he was, always had a better grip under the water than the land-dwelling box turtle could hope to achieve. Donatello was tapping away on his watch, though Michelangelo was half convinced that it was actually just a game. In the place of Raphael, who’s exhaustion couldn’t be moved even by the loud scream of the alarm, was April taking up the rear. She had yet to get her special baseball back, though whoever this Casey Jones was had promised to get it out of police holding for her. In its place she had a new, regular bat covered in nails. Not as effective as her mystic bat, but she was sure it could pack a punch nonetheless.

They came to the place where the alarm had gone off. All eight of them slowly came to a halt when they saw the intruder just standing there, calm as day, as if he had been waiting for them quite some time. Leo and his brothers all took an audible gasp as they stepped back, Leo putting his arms out to protect those behind him. Leonardo and his family, however, gasped for a whole different reason.

“HUESO!”

Despite Leo’s wide motion for them all to stay behind him, Leonardo lead his family to all ignore the leader and dash forward under Leo’s arms to greet the skeleton man. Hueso looked filthy, his normally flawless suit stained with the sewage he had to wade through and dripping even after he had found an almost-dry spot to stand on. 

“Oh Hueso! Es bueno verte! I can’t believe you’re here! I’d hug you if you weren’t so gross!” Leonardo laughed and held his arms out for a social-distanced hug.

“Yes, I’d do the same if not for similar reasons.” Hueso grumbled under his breath.

“How’d you get here Hues?” April asked, walking closer to the calaca than Leonardo dared.

“It is a very long story.”

***

“You go on ahead Cassandra. I got some loose ends to tie up.”

When Cassandra left through the rift and the portal closed behind her, only then did Draxum put Hueso back on the ground and release his vice-grip. Hueso gasped softly as he clutched at his throat, his eyes full of hate and locked on Draxum like he were the scum of the earth.

“What do you want from me?” Hueso asked finally, his eyes never once leaving the sheep yokai.

“We have a common means, calaca.” Draxum said, calm and steady. “I hear you are fond of the one called Leonardo.”

“Fond?” Hueso laughed, “I wouldn’t much call it fond as I would call it a... hostage situation.”

“But you know of him. You care for him?” Draxum made a fist and raised it to the air. “You are a very clever Yokai, I can tell. And I could trust no other with a message as important, and to accept what I am about to ask of you would ensure riches and safety for you and your family.”

A glint came to Hueso’s eyes. “What is your request?”

“My creations think me cruel. They know not of my plans, and I need a carrier to bring the news to them so we may unite our forces to take down a common enemy.”

“The Shadow Fiend…” Hueso whispered softly, looking to the place where the rift had once been. “He is not whole. He cannot be defeated in the state he is currently in.”

“Yes.” Drauxm growled softly.

“He must be made whole again, and the only way to do that is…”

“A sacrifice. A sacrifice of Hamato blood will bring the Shredder back whole. He’ll be defeatable.”

“But the cost...”

***

“...would be great.” Hueso finished. “You would be able to destroy The Shadow Fiend once and for all! He sent me here to be your guide.” Hueso looked to Leonardo.

“So he’s not bad!” Michelangelo said quite loudly, his voice echoing all around them as he ran fast to hug Hueso, almost tackling the older skeleton. “DRAXUM’S NOT BAD! I knew he wasn’t!”

“You… you’re just…” Leo pointed at Hueso.

“Just a bone man, yes.”

“Hm.” Leo smacked his lips together as he nodded ever so slightly. “Okay.”

“Can I touch your bones, dude?” Mikey asked, his mouth hanging open and eyes wide.

“That is extremely disrespectful.” Hueso spat, “You should show more respect to your elders.”

Everyone just stared at him.

“Well? Data prisa! We haven’t got all day!” Hueso started to usher the teens back down the sewer tunnel, his confidence and booming voice enough to compensate for the shorter and weaker form he had compared to the brothers. “Malditos chicos! Tan lento!”

The mutants scattered along at his urging just as they would if their Splinters had done the same. Hueso grabbed Leonardo before the blue ninja could get far. 

“Talk with me.” He said in Spanish before they started to walk again.

“Why the Spanish?” Leonardo spoke with the same tongue and in a hushed voice. He hoped none of the counterpart-brothers could understand what was being said.

“We must talk of your father in private.”

“Splinter? Why? Do you know something?”

“I told you the ceremony requires blood magic! It requires the host to be bled and possessed by the Dark Armor. The host would be your father with his hamato blood.”

Leonardo’s eyes went wide. He stopped walking for a moment, but Hueso grabbed him by the arm and forced him to keep going.

“B-but if we destroy the shredder then he’d be free right?”

“To destroy The Shredder, we will have to destroy the host.” Hueso looked up at Leonardo with mournful eyes. “If we go through with this, then you will have to kill your own father.”

Out Of Comfort

Rottmnt Donnie Centric Fanfic

Genre : Adventure, Action, Humour, Hurt/Comfort

Summary :  Silver has gone to the part where he made Donnie involve in some slightly criminal-related work. Will Donnie regret his decision to ever trust him? Or will his life ends miserably knowing that he should’ve just headed home and not taking any part of Silver’s plan?

Chapter 4 Help Wanted

Run-on-the-mill Pizza place can be a good place to vent for some reason, he always felt better having to just sit down, ordering food, and let go of his thoughts away. The weight lifted off from his chest immensely or is it just that his wisp is his Gram-Gram, sitting on his shoulder to keep him company?

Donnie can’t help smile to see her there, she smiled every he looked at her. It gives him warmth, knowing that he wasn’t entirely alone. At least now he felt a lot better that he took joy to eat his pizza to satisfy his hunger. 

“Grrrr!!” Donnie jumped hearing a growl from the person sitting in front of him. The stranger who called himself Silver, glaring at his phone. His finger tapping hard on the screen. Donnie chewed away as he watched the men frustrated himself with his phone.

Silver gritted his teeth, “Stupid, son of a-” he screamed and threw away his phone. Donnie was surprised to see his phone flew away out of sight. Sia flew after the phone. Silver sighed while shaking his head, he chomps on the pizza he ordered.

“Is-is everything, okay?” Donnie asked.

“It’s not your concern, kid.” Sia flew back with the phone and put it in his hand. Silver saw the phone and frowned at Sia, who scolded him. Donnie saw the wisp flailing angrily at him. Silver shook in disbelief, putting the phone on the table.

Donnie stared at the object. It seems like it just got bought, looks all sleek and new with its black with blue stripes background.

“What’s wrong with it?”

“Just some troubles, like many.” he chowed down the pizza, mozzarella cheese melted to his mouth. Donnie can slightly see that the guy somehow had fangs. Until then he realized that he also had a pair of small brown horns. They’re obscured by his unruly hair, which makes him wonder what kind of guy he is.

“Can I take a look on your phone?” he asked. Silver stared at him. He paused for a bit, thinking if he should listen to the kid. 

He sighed and give the kid his phone. Donnie carefully took it and began his inspections. He turns on the phone and found the thing had a hard time finishing the intro. Once Donnie had access to the content, he took his time checking every system, apps, and settings. 

Silver rests his head on his hand, watching the kid gone all quiet, eyes fixated on the screen. He can see the kid in full concentration on what he’s doing, so he didn’t bother to ask anything. 

“Is it okay if I upgrade them a bit?” Donnie offered. Silver raised his eyebrow. The word ‘upgrade’ intrigues and astonished him. Can the kid really upgrade his phone? The kid seems serious about what he said. Although, is it a good idea to let a kid messes with his phone?

But Silver is more curious than worry. Silver gives him a nod. Donnie looked around for Hueso. The skeleton saw the turtle waved at him. He approached him, “If you looking for your coffee, it still in a brewing state.”

“Oh, okay. But also, do you still have my toolbox here?”

“The one that you keep forgetting to bring back with you and instead of you taking it insisting to let me store it for you?” Hueso said in a nonchalant look. Donnie grinned nervously. He sighed, “I’ll go and get it for you.” he walks towards his office.

Donnie went back to the phone in his hand. Silver just watched in quiet, finishing his meal. A waiter with six arms came and put a mug of coffee at Donnie’s side. He quickly took a sip and continue his inspecting. 

Hueso came back with a purple toolbox, he put it next to the mug and went off to do his business. The table shook as the toolbox was set down, how many tools the kid have in that thing?

Donnie put his mug to his other side. He pushed a button on the box and attracted all the tools held by small robot arms. Silver was shocked by the sheer amount of tools that came out of it. 

Donnie opened the phone’s casing. Pulled down his goggles, he types something in his tech bracelet and the robot arms helping him out to do some tinkering. Silver blinked, he observes the kid doing something to his phone. 

He watched the three-fingered hands deftly moves between each tool, once seeing his hand reaching something inside the box and implanting it onto the phone. He waited for the kid to finish as it seems the kid doesn’t want to be bothered while doing his work.

Finally, Donnie plopped back the casing. The toolbox retracted back all the tools, back to its former form. Donnie turned on the phone and give it back to Silver. He took his phone and take a look at it.

“I upgrade the memory storage, which now can hold 200 GB. It’s the biggest one I can get other than stealing it. I upgraded the ram storage, the system processor, the cache settings. Updated further the anti-virus with my own coding, also put a tiny Donnie-blocker to keep off all kinds of mal-ware, aaand installing a new set of cameras for further perfection on either photo or video making ability. Oh, and I give you some unlimited access to the internet. Your Welcome and Thank you!” he smiled with pride and joy. 

Silver nodded in amazement. He explored his phone further and he can already felt the significant difference from before. No lagging, quick accessing, one-second loading. Whatever the kid has done, it did wonders for his phone. “Well, I gotta say, Kid. I’m impressed.” he praised.

Donnie flinched by the appraisal from him. He smiled broadly with tears of joy. How long has he been dreaming for an adult’s appraisals and approvals? Too long perhaps that he can’t contain his smile. Which made Silver cringe at him. Hueso walked past them and saw Donnie glittering in happiness.

“Did you praised him?” he asked.

“Is that a bad thing?”

“No. Just brace yourself, that’s all.” he added, leaving them alone. Silver pinched his nose-bridge.

###

Silver walks along the Hidden City’s streets with his new modified phone in his hand. The first thing he finds is that the kid had put thousands of songs on the music list. He’s really intrigued with the titles of each of them, noted to himself that he should give them a try.

“So, where are you going?”

He sighed, he nearly forgot that the said kid still on his tail. 

Silver : Why don’t you just go home, kid?

Donnie : First of all, I am not a kid. I’m 16.

Silver : And, I’m 28. So you’re a kid to me.

Donnie : Scoff! I am a teenager, thank you very much! *arm-crossed*

Silver : Why are you saying ‘scoff’ out loud?

Donnie : And, second, I’m not ready to go home, yet. 

Silver : Why not?

Donnie : Well, even though I’ve been here for an hour and fifty-one minutes, but I just got here.

Silver : And, now, you can go home.

Donnie stopped in his track. Silver noticed the lack of sound of the kid’s footsteps, he turned around at Donnie who clearly unhappy, avoiding eye contact.

“I just won’t, alright? You won’t understand.” he shoved his hands in his pockets. Silver raised an eyebrow, the kid still refused to look at him. 

He sure didn’t understand what the kid’s deal is that he doesn’t want to go home. But it’s not like Silver would want to be part of it, especially if it’s a personal matter. He rolled his eyes and continued his walk, eyes fixated on the screen until he heard the kid’s footsteps following him again.

He peered his head back to the kid. Donnie saw him staring and froze. Silver stares nonchalantly. Donnie frowned, looking away dejected. He can still sense being stared.

“Okay, FINE. I’ll go! Stop staring at me like that!” Donnie quickly turned around, grumbling in his hood. Silver watched the kid's leaves, the kid’s wisp flew close to his head, caressing him.

He wasn’t sure if he was supposed to feel bad, he knows the kid can take care of himself, as long as he stops spacing out. Sia stares at him, unimpressed, which triggered Silver in the way.

“What?” he flatly asked. Sia scolded her living friend, squeaking away like no tomorrow. “The last thing I want other than being stranded here is becoming a babysitter. Okay?”

Sia pouts, she crossed her arms and look away. Silver rolled his eyes, he doesn’t need this right now. “Uuuugh!!! HEY, KID!”

Donnie quickly turns his head. Silver sighed, there’s no turning back now. “Come on, there’s a place that I wanna go. You can help out there if you want.” he walks away.

He didn’t need to wait or looking back to know that kid accepted his offer when he heard a running coming from behind. Donnie joined him on his side, keeping it quiet, in case if the man changes his mind.

He has a lot of questions, but putting them off the table. Keeping it cool as he observed the guy scrolling through his phone. Donnie shoves his hands, trying to obscure his fingers fidgeting restlessly. He’s giddy for some reason, he doesn’t know why. 

What he should do is be cautious, especially when you’re meeting a stranger. But so far, the stranger had been kind to him, despite all the snarkiness. 

He saved his life from a falling boulder which he still doesn’t understand why it’s there. He responsibly trying to make him feel better in case he was shaken from the near-death experience--which he got to be honest, that he was, only a little. And, he let him tinker his phone and upgraded it, and not to mention, appraisal--legitness--for his work.

He can’t help but smile with that thought, this Silver guy sure is an interesting one. He learned that souls can leave a part of their own, remnants of their memories, and formed into these little ghosts called Wisps.

The concept of this little entity really intrigues him, and now that he knows that he has a Wisp of his own, which is none other than his Gram-Gram. And, that hits him,

Donnie : About the Wisps...

Silver : Hm? 

Donnie : Gram-Gram is a part of a family, my family. And, I’m sure that she also loves my brothers. Right?

Silver : Put it this way, you have how many people in one family, and there’s one who passes away and that person loves every single one of them. If a wisp wanted to go back to their loved ones, and there are many, so they’ll follow them all.

Donnie : How?

Silver : The explanatory still confuses me, but a wisp can actually exist more than once in the living. For example, if your wisp is following you now, they also follow the others. Like,...ugh, putting it simply, they can be in two or more places at the same time.

Donnie : That’s......mildly confusing.

Silver : You tell me.

Donnie : Wait, so...if my Wisp actually exists somewhere else and following my family,  that means, she’s also there.

Silver : So?

Donnie : So, that means, if I can speak her language, she can help pinpoint their locations, etcetera.

Silver : .....

Donnie : .....

Silver : Huh, I haven’t thought of that.

Donnie : Really?

Silver : But to be fair, not all wisps had the same case. For example, Sia right here.

Donnie : That also hits me, who is she to you?

Silver stopped, Donnie flinched at him. Silver stares blankly at the phone, although he is sure that he wasn’t staring at it. He was getting worried about how the guy didn’t say anything. He figured it actually hurts him, being asked that question.

Donnie guiltily looked away, rubbing his arm. “Sorry.” He apologized. Sia the wisp turned sad, followed by Karai.

Then, he flinched when he felt his head being patted. He meets Silver’s eyes, he didn’t smile but he’s certainly caressing. Silver let go of his hand and continue his walking. Donnie blinked, trying to process what he just did. He rubbed his head, still confused and took off to catch up.

Silver took a right and went up a stair. Donnie paused to see that he was heading towards what looks like a Museum, Yokai’s Museum. Silver went inside, not waiting around for him. Donnie ran in, until, “OOF!!!” he bumps real hard into a large hand and fell back. 

“Oww!” he rubs his head. A troll-like yokai with massively oversize hands stood guard at the entrance.

“Buy ticket first! Only ten dollars!” he said with a deep croaky voice. Silver showed up from the Museum.

“Go get yourself a ticket, kid! I’m only paying for your food.” he disappeared into the building. Donnie stood up peevishly, raising his shoulders. He sighed, reached out a ten-dollar from his wallet.

The Museum looks somewhat bigger than the outside. On the way in, Donnie picked up a pamphlet from its racks. The Museum contains artworks like statues, paintings, carvings, etc. Even some historical objects and artifacts. 

Donnie curiously looked in every direction. Never in his life went to a Museum legally and full of people and bright lights. Last time he has been in a Museum, he had to fight a psychotic hypo and the Foot-clans, breaking every content within.

Donnie scurries along through to find Silver, he isn’t in the Gallery, which now leads him to the Artifact Room. Donnie peeked into the hallway, he didn’t see him yet. He went further as he took his time sightseeing until he stumbled upon a large circular room.

The room was littered with weird, wacky, and interesting artifacts floats on pedestals. And without Donnie’s goggles, he can still see that some of them had mystic powers lingers within. He assuming they all real artifacts that are no longer in use, despite that some still have little powers to spare.

He found Silver stands and observe a floating crescent-like object. Donnie stood beside him, looking at the name on the info board. Rubbing his chin as he translates the language, “Obliath of Secrecy.”

“It’s an artifact that once used to conceal a massive gate that prevents Oble Troll from entering a farm patch for the early season of Fire Cabbage Festival, thirty years ago. Created by an old fairy farmer who lives with the farm patches.” Silver explains. Donnie looked at him astonished.

“You know about artifacts?”

“No, it says so in this info board.” he points at the board he just read. 

“O-oh...”

“Anyway, we’re not here for sightseeing.” he said, “Come.”

Donnie raised his eyebrow, he looked at Karai, she shook her head, not knowing what it means. Donnie shrugged and followed the men.

As Donnie follows, he saw Silver talk to a tiger yokai from afar. Donnie paused for a moment, he observes as Silver received some kind of a key from the yokai and quickly put them in his inner pocket. As the yokai leaves, Silver turned to Donnie and gesturing him to follow.

Donnie became suspicious, still, he does what he’s told. He approached Silver who’s standing near a big sarcophagus. He looked around, to make sure nobody’s looking and opened the coffin. “Get in.”

“Why?”

“Just do it.” And, Donnie did. Silver followed and closed the coffin, hiding the two inside.

###

Silver slowly opens the sarcophagus slightly, peeking out to the now dark Artifact Room. Sia emerged from the coffin, looking around as she flew away. She went back and nodded, Silver opens the coffin entirely, letting Donnie and himself out. 

Donnie gingerly looks around, unsure of what will they be doing.

“What are we doing?” he asked, only to be shushed by Silver. Silver promptly stealth walking into the empty room. Donnie follows without difficulty as he was trained to be stealthy. Silver leads them both to a turn left to the sarcophagus that leads to a storage room. Silver stopped, assessing the situation.

“What are we doing here?!” Donnie whispered. Silver ignores him and lets Sia come forth first. She flew ahead towards the door until she passed an invisible barrier that reanimated as she came through. Donnie was amazed by the presence of the invisible wall. 

Silver waited to make sure it didn’t trigger any kind of alarm, which it didn’t. He comes close to the barrier, putting his palm onto it. It was solid, as it should be. Donnie looked around to make sure they were alone, getting more worried about this whole situation.

Silver took a breath in and out, he casts an energy flow onto his hand, the bluish energy glows stunningly in the dark. Donnie watched in awe from a couple of feet away. It then formed itself into a long energy stream, condensed into a sword-like structure.

Donnie was surprised by the guy’s capability, it looks different than any mystic weapons he saw. Silver slashed the barrier right down the middle, then proceed to slice the bottom frame. The sword disappeared, Silver opened the barrier like it was a curtain. He gesturing Donnie to get in first.

“Can you please tell me what’s going on?!” he protested in a whisper.

“I’ll tell you when we get inside. Move!” Donnie opened his mouth to speak, “Kid, you’ve gone far to follow me here. And I don’t mind at all that you bail right this second. Your choice.”

Despite him whispering, Silver’s voice was sharp and stern, giving massive goosebumps towards Donnie’s shell. A strike of fear suddenly picking up, Donnie momentarily having a staring contest with the guy.

He could bail, but he needs to know what this guy’s doing. If he’s doing something bad, it’s his job as a Hamato to stop him. He can’t let it slide, he needs to know what’s going on. He stepped into the barrier, no turning back now.

He stopped at the door, Silver came up and use the key on the door. The storage filled with unshowcased artifacts organized in some ways. Silver carefully closed the door behind him and locked it, Donnie took a moment to look around. 

He has seen some of these artifacts in Draxum’s research notes. Few of them extremely foreign. 

“THOOOONG!!!!”

Donnie jumped at the sound from behind him. Silver cast some kind of barrier in bluish and white streams of energy. Suddenly, he toppled over, lying on his side. Donnie jerked up and ran at him. His breathing is normal and his pulse is steady but the guy had fallen unconscious.

“Silver?” he patted his cheeks, hoping to wake him up. Silver let out a groan. Donnie helped him to sit, leaning him to a wall. “What happened? You okay?” 

“I might...have put....too many in....one go.” he said, sounding really exhausted. Donnie looked at the barrier. It looks very sturdy, not sure how many he actually put in one spot. Donnie turned back to him.

“But, you’re okay, right?

“Yeah, just....a little tired.” he hoists himself up, pushing up against the wall to get back to his feet. Donnie ducked under his arm, helping him walk around the storage room. Silver leads them further inside, Sia flew right ahead. She pinpoints the directions around the many crates filled with artifacts, to where they should go and they follow.

Until they reached a large pedestal with an object that floats right in the middle. Silver let his arm go from Donnie. “There it is.”

The artifact shape is a trapezoid, with carvings all over its dark plum coloring. The object felt different than the others, felt threatening in some ways. Donnie frowned by the sight of it as Silver approached the thing. He held his hand out to it.

“Wait, what are you doing?” 

“What does it look like?” he said, “I’m stealing it.”

A paused for a moment.

“Wait, WHAT?!”
