Ya know what? There aren't nearly enough Rat King fan fictions out there, are there? Which sucks because he's my absolute favorite villain besides Shredder (of course) okay enjoy this first chapter as I show you my very first Rat King story
I DO NOT OWN TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!
Master Splinter was alone in the dojo meditating. The boys had just finished a hard day's training that ran very smoothly, which made him happy. All was calm until he felt a sudden head rush
"Ah" he grabbed his temples and cringed in pain as he opened his eyes. He stood up and peeked out of the dojo to see what the boys were doing. He reentered the dojo after the turtles apparently didn't see him
'What was I just doing?' he pondered to himself as he walked to his personal shelf. He gazed over the frame of his beloved wife and daughter. He frowned at the sudden memory of a certain enemy who tried to exploit his rodent side, and turn him away from whatever he had left of his humanity. The head rush occurred again as once again he forgot what was thinking
'Uhh.. what is wrong with me today?' he then recognized that feeling in his mind. He knew that feeling all too well "No.." he said out loud "Not you." his head started pounding and he felt a sudden massive pain that felt like a sword to his head
(MEANWHILE)
Mikey sat upside in living room after a marathon of his favorite show. He sat up and saw that Leo and Raph were locked in a two-player arcade game. So he decided to peek in with Donnie on his latest project. He remembered that Rockwell was in there with him helping April practice her telepathic powers. He peeked in the door to see the three mutants talking with each other
"Do we really need these necklaces, Donnie?"April asked sounding bored
"I'm afraid so, April. Since you're half Kraang, there's no telling how dangerous they might be when having complete control of their powers" Donnie explained while typing on his laptop
"Coool is that what you guys are working on?" asked Mikey as he walked into the lab
Donnie groaned in annoyance "What do you want, Mikey? We're kind of in the middle of something"
"I just wanted to see what you guys were working on" he tried to peek at the computer
"We're working on creating telepathy shields to protect ourselves from the Kraang's telepathic abilities." explained Rockwell "The more we learn about their mental tricks, the stronger defense we have against them."
"Ha ha which is why Rockwell and I have invented.. the T-shields!"
"Hey! Naming stuff's my thing!" Mikey said with an upset tone. Just then, Leo and Raph came in to the lab to see what was going on
"See, Leo? I told you we were missing the party" said Raph "New invention, Donnie?" asked Leo
"Well sort of. It's just a prototype but if it works, the wearer will be completely immunity from any kind of mental or telepathic tricks.
"We created it by studying the mutated DNA from April and myself." added Rockwell
"We've never really had to deal to telepathy before, Donnie. Do you really think we'll need it?" asked Leo
"Well, probably not. But there's still certain elements of the Kraang that we don't understand, and this can help us learn more about them."
"So how do we know if it works." asked April
"That's the thing," replied Donnie "All we need to do now is test it." Just then the group heard a gruesome scream
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
"Sensei?" asked Leo as everyone ran to the sound of the scream. When they entered the dojo, Splinter was back first on the floor with his hands on his head and convulsing
"SENSEI!" the turtles ran over to Splinter to help
"Sensei? Sensei! What's wrong, what does it hurt?!" Donnie was in a panicked doctor mode trying to figure out what's wrong with his sensei
"(pant) (pant) (AAHHH) The Rat... Rat King (AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH)"
"WHAT!?" the turtles were shocked that the dreaded Rat King was still alive
"Oh no!" gasped April
"DONNIE, WHAT DO WE DO!?" Raph shouted over Splinter's screaming
"I...I DON'T KNOW! I CAN'T THINK!" Donnie was greatly starting to panic
"Donatello, the T-Shield! It maybe his only hope!" Rockwell tossed Donnie the necklace
"DID YOU EVEN TEST THAT THING!?" shouted Leo
"NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT!" Donnie responded. Mikey tried to sit Splinter up and he was still rapidly kicking and convulsing his entire body. Donnie quickly wrapped the T-shield around Splinter's neck. In a millisecond, Splinter stopped screaming and pasted out in Mikey's arm as he laid his father down. Everyone just stared at each other in a horrified expression
"Umm... what just happened?" Mikey asked in a blown away sort of tone
"You can't be serious. The Rat King's back?!" exclaimed Leo
"(growl) What does it take to kill this guy?!" ranted Raph. Rockwell just got an angry expression on his face as he almost began to take deep breaths of rage.
"Rockwell... are you alright?" April put a hand on his shoulder
"Falco" he growled
"What?" she asked as everyone looked up at him then she gasped in realization "Oh my gosh, that's right!"
"What?" asked Raph
"Don't you guys remember?"
"It was Victor Falco who mutated me into this ... pre evolved beast." he looked at his hands
"Oh right, I remember that! He tried to used your blood to give himself physic powers.." said Donnie
"...and ended up becoming the Rat King" finished Leo
"Precisely. My friends, I will do anything it takes to help you defeat this monster and save your Master!" he said with a vengeful voice
"Calm down, Rockwell." said April "The first thing we to do is figure out what the heck...(points to Splinter) that was."
"I know." said Mikey sadly "What do you think he did to him?"
"We'll have to until he wakes up to find out." Donnie placed a hand on his father's head "but that didn't look like anything that the Rat King's done before" Suddenly Splinter groaned in pain as he began to wake up.
"He's waking up." Raph said with excitement
"Shhh..." Leo silenced as everyone backed up to give him some space as he sat up. He opened his eyes and looked down at his hands. As he studied his four-fingered paw and began to breathe heavily. Leo called to him lightly
"Sensei, are you alright?" Leo approached him slowly and gently. Splinter looked and saw the turtles, Rockwell and April.
"Ah! Ahhh! Keep away from me!" he backed up against the wall hyperventilating
"Whoa! Sensei what's wrong?" Leo backed away "It's alright, it's us, your-"
"I-I have four fingers! What happened? Why do I only have four fingers!? Where's my other finger!? " he was speaking too fast to understand
"Wait what?" Ralph, along with everyone else, was really confused
"Master Splinter, you've always-" Splinter stopped Donnie's sentence and just blurted out questions at a mile on minutes
"Who are you, what are you, where am I, who am I, why can't I remember anything!?"
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNN
And that was the first chapter of my new Ninja Turtles story. hope it's good so far. Something I want to note is the Mighty Mutanimals will show up later, and not the Kraang. I know it's confusing but I needed a reason for turtles to have a telepathy shield to guard Splinter from the Rat King. Now I'm not gonna focus on characterizing Splinter since he has no memory on who he is. Okay hope this was interesting please leave a review happy thanksgiving see you guys next time with chapter 5 of "Alternatively" God bless
