Hello everyone!
Welcome to my new story! A good friend of mine introduced me to Death Note. She is also an author in fanfiction. You check her out! Her username/author's name is Obsidianwing.
I saw the anime Death Note and read the manga. So many chapters… But it was AWESOME!
For those who don't know, the anime/manga Death Note is about a notebook that was found by a 17-years-old boy named Light Yagami. It's no ordinary notebook thought. If you write a person's name on it, that person will die. Pretty creepy eh? He uses it to kill criminals and to bring peace to the world. The ending is kinda disturbing but the only thing I can say to not spoil it, is that justice won.
I got inspired to write a story on what Mikey would do if he got such power!
Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it and don't forget to favorite/follow/review if you liked it! :D
Disclaimer: I don't own TMNT or Death Note.
It was night in New York City and the turtles were sitting on the soft green grass of Central Park resting for a while. They just fought some Purple Dragons and stopped them from robbing a jewelry store. Soon the police came and the four mutants disappeared into the shadows feeling proud that once again they won a battle.
They decided to head to Central Park and rest for a bit. Since it's dark no one would be able to see them so they weren't worried about being exposed to humans. Besides no one would go to the park late night. As soon as they reached the place they sat near a duck pond quietly and looked around them admiring the beauty of their city at nighttime.
"Awesome job guys. We stopped the Purple Dragons once again." Leo said to his little brothers.
"We always do awesome Leo. These thugs ain't no match for us." Raph commented.
Leo looked at his youngest brother, "Mikey, you weren't focusing on your opponent again. You gotta work on that cause it's pretty-" He noticed his younger brother wasn't paying attention to him. Instead he was looking at the starry sky as if he is thinking of something. "Mike…" Still no respond, "Mikey…..MICHELANGELO!"
That was loud enough to startle the young turtle. He looked at the leader "Jeez, Leo… You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
"Well I was talking to you but you weren't listening to me."
"Sorry bro… I was distracted…"
"Distracted from what Mike?" Donnie asked.
"The view of the dark starry sky and the tall skyscrapers. It's such an amazing view… I got really inspired and had an awesome idea for a picture I could draw." Mikey said not taking his eyes off the sky.
"Did he really jus' say that?" Raph said thinking his little brother is sick.
"Well you know him when inspiration hits him." Donnie looked at the sky too.
Leo smiled at the scene and joined his youngest brothers. Raph sighed and joined them too. They sat silently and listened to the night sounds of their city. Leo was amazed by the amount of stars in the dark sky. Donnie noticed his interest and started showing constellations and the other three were amazed. Even Raph was enjoying his time and strangely, Mikey was listening. After the astronomy lesson they went silent again and looked around them.
Fifteen minutes later the leader spoke, "Guys, it's kinda getting late. We gotta go home." The others nodded in agreement and got up to return to their lair.
I wish we could have such a good time again. Mikey thought as he was going home along with his oldest brothers. Training and fighting bad guys is the reason why we don't have such great times a lot. I'm really tired of this…
Once they reached the lair Mikey went straight to his room to get that picture drawn. The others just went to the kitchen go have a little snack. They sat there quietly for about an hour drinking hot chocolate.
"Next time we're gonna see wings popping out of Mikey's shell and see him flying to his room." Raph chuckled breaking the silence.
"Just leave it Raph, you know him. Every time he does that. He has passion for drawing and he is pretty gifted with that." Leo defended.
"At least he's good at somethin'." Raph mumbled.
"Raph enough of that! He always tries his best in improving his skills. That's what counts." Donnie is getting angry now.
"Yeah whateva'." Raph turned his head a little refusing to show his apologetic look.
Although they were in the kitchen, their conversation was heard by Mikey. He had just finished his picture and was about to go and show it to his brothers but after he heard the small conversation about him he just went inside his room with a sad look. He was a little happy on how Leo and Don defended him, knowing that they noticed his tries. But Raph's words hurt him. He could feel tears sliding down his innocent face. It is true that he is trying hard. He may do badly in some training sessions with their sensei but always does his best on the next one to correct his mistakes. His father was really pleased with his actions and always tried to help the youngest improve his skills. However during a real fight with their enemy he is somehow scared of them. He feels frightened because during this he and his brothers have their lives at risk and no mistakes should be made. That's why he doesn't do well while facing the bad guys. He might not be good enough. It is part of his personality to be like this, he can't change that.
I wish I could help my brothers more…I'm just a joke sometimes, I gotta find a way to be helpful to my bros! Mikey thought while he was lying on his bed. Soon without noticing he fell asleep wondering what the new day will bring.
The next day they went on by their usually routine. Everything was like every day… not until their time to go for patrol. They didn't know or to be exact, Mikey didn't know what will happen or find that will change his thoughts from now on.
The patrol has been mostly quiet. They stopped few guys from breaking in into a school. Why the heck someone would try and break into school? That was pretty silly but the turtles cared only about stopping them and they successfully did.
After getting bored they started heading home. Running and jumping from roof to roof, Mikey had a frowned face the whole time and was silent. This wasn't unnoticed by his older brothers and they got a little concerned cause the youngest would always be bouncing and laughing the whole time.
Suddenly the eldest stopped. "Hey Mike… Are you okay?" He asked with worry.
"Huh, what? Oh yeah I'm peachy!" Mikey answered and tried to smile.
"Then why were you so quiet the whole time? Are you feeling alright?" The genius asked.
I'm feeling awful. I'm pretty useless aren't I? Mikey thought, "Yep! I'm just kinda tired and sleepy!"
"Well, if ya say so… Let's jus' go home." Raph said.
"Okay…" Mikey whispered.
The older brothers started running again but before Mikey could follow them something caught his eye. It was something that was lying under a street lamp. Huh, what's that? Hmmm….I'll check it out quickly. He used the fire escape to go down and using his stealthy skills he approached the street. Making sure no one was there he came close to the item. It was a notebook. A black notebook.
Weird. What's a notebook doing here? Someone must have dropped it. He picked it up and turned it to the front cover. He gasped. Huh? What the…what the shell is this?
On the front cover there was written with capital and white letters "Death Note". What kind of joke is this? He thought as he opened it. His eyes went wide at what was written on the back of the cover. How to use it? Rules of using the Death Note? What the heck? He started reading the rules.
person whose name is written in this note shall die.
note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name. Therefore people sharing the same name will not be effected.
the cause of death is written within the next 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.
the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack after 40 seconds.
writer can manipulate the date and time of death of the victim. The writer can also manipulate the victim's actions before his/her death.
you write the person's name there is no way you can undo it.
page taken from the Death Note or even a fragment will have the full effects of the note. The pages of the notebook will never run out. No matter what.
Wha…WHAT THE HELL? Oh my god…Is this a joke? It's gotta be! It can't be real! It can't! Mikey was starting to freak out from this. I gotta get outta here! He dropped it on the cold street and started walking away, more like running away. Wait. I can't just leave it there. What if a bad guy or anyone finds it? What do I do? He looked at the notebook for a while. Silently walked to it, he quickly picked it up again and ran away. He placed it safely on his belt behind his nunchucks and started heading home because his brothers might be worried sick about him since it's late.
As he reached the lair he quietly marched to his room. That's it, no one should see me.
"Mikey!"
He jumped and nearly fell. Guess I'm not that stealthy. "What is it Don?"
"Where the heck have you been? We thought something happened to you!"
"Sorry…I.." Should I tell him? No, bad idea. "I lost my shell cell and I started looking for it. It took me a while but I found it."
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"You were so far ahead from me. I couldn't just yelling right?"
"Guess you're right. Okay, but next time try not to lose it. Leo was getting worried a lot. Raph too."
"Okay sorry again Donnie. Speaking of them, where are they?"
"They went to their rooms. I volunteered to stay here and wait for you to come."
"Oh okay. I'm just gonna go to my room." Mike said as he started to walk away making sure that the notebook can't be seen.
"Okay, Mikey." Don said as he watched his little brother go. He felt a little confused on how Mikey was walking now but brushed it off. Wait a minute… He went to his lab to check his desk and there was Mikey's cell lying there. His young brother accidentally broke few buttons of his cell few days ago and gave it to him to fix it. Mikey… What are you up to?
The moment Mikey got into his room he locked the door. He took out the notebook and sat on the floor. What do I do with it? Firstly is this real? There is only one way to find out… But I dunno… Should I really know? I'll decide tomorrow. I'm gonna hide it for now. He got up and hid it under his pillow. After yawning he jumped on his bed and fell asleep.
The next morning he woke up for their morning practice. He sat on his bed thinking about the notebook again. Hmm… I will think of something after training. I bet now Leo is gonna lecture me about yesterday. Anyway, I gotta get up to make breakfast.
He got up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. He was greeted by his brothers and just as he expected he was lectured by Leo. All he could do is apologize. Donnie was watching him the whole time thinking, What is the real reason he was late and why? Should I tell Leo and Raph? Nah, he may have had a stupid reason and was embarrassed to say. That's why he might have lied. After all this Mikey I'm talking about here, well thinking. I'll let it go this time.
After morning practice everyone went to their usual places, Donnie to his lab, Raph to the garage and Leo stayed in the dojo for extra practice. Mikey went to his room immediately for obvious reason. He took the notebook from under his pillow with a sketchbook to hide it and headed to watch a little television. He specifically looked for a channel were news are being broadcasted. And he didn't fail to find one.
"We are now live from the John Mager Elementary School in Fresno, California were the young children are being held as hostages by a serial killer named Hamish Cohen." The screen showed the killer's picture on the top right.
"It is very dangerous to approach the place because the killer will shoot the hostages. The police now are trying to find a way to capture this man without hurting an innocent soul."
Should I try it? Wait..NO! What am I thinking? But the poor children probably will die! Mikey was mentally panicking. I can't let kids die! We fight evil all the time and some of them die! This stupid killer is no different. He took a pencil that he was carrying, opened the notebook and pointed it at the first page.
Okay, okay…I'll write and see what will happen. It might not even be real! He took a very deep breath and imagined the man's face in his mind. Okay, let's do it. He began writing the man's name and in less than 5 seconds he was done with it.
Panting heavily he looked at the tv screen and waited 40 seconds…
He waited...
7…6…5…4…3….2…1…
And waited…
Just as he was about to consider that it wasn't real…
"Everyone look! All the children and teachers are coming out! It appears no one is hurt! Thank goodness! The teachers are telling us that Hamish Cohen suddenly collapsed holding his chest tightly. The police now confirmed that the man is dead."
Oh shell! Th-This…can't be! Did I really..I..I just..It just can't! It has to be coincidence! Mikey was breathless, he stood there frozen with wide eyes. In less than a second he ran to his room.
Raph came out of the garage and saw his little brother rushing to his room. "Gee.. What's got into Mikey?" He asked his older brother.
"I don't know. I saw him just watching tv and suddenly he got up kinda panicked or something and next thing I knew he flew to his room!"
"Weird…Let's jus' give him a little time alone. Anyway, wanna spar?"
"I'm not a coward and gonna beat you!"
"Yeah, you wish!"
Mikey was about to faint in his room. He wasn't sure what to do from now on. Did I really just kill that guy? It can't be coincidence. I need to know for real if that was me who did it.
That meant only one thing in Mikey's head.
I gotta try it again!
So? How was it?
