The sand started to perk up as baby leatherback-sea turtles came out. They all were following the light of the moon to the ocean, four males in paticular were closer to each other in a straight line, almost as if it was more like follow the leader, the oldest in front.
the four entered the water along with a few of their other brothers and sisters that weren't snatched away by bigger creatures. they swam around a little , still close to each other, still they saw a green glow. Curious, the four little leatherbacks swan to it.
When they were close enough, they saw that it was some kind of green oozy stuff, and a lot of it. They just watched as the stuff floated them and started to cover their bodies.
At first, it wasn't affecting them, but when they were swimming, they started feel themselve change. something sprouted out of their front fins and elbows, and their back fins were pulling apart. they also started to grow.
It didn't hurt them, but still felt strange enough to hold their eyes shut. When the feeling stopped, they opened their eyes and looked at each other. they all were bigger than they should be, and had fins on the end of their elbows. Their front fins had a little bud on them (it's a thumb), and their back fin were split, but only for about a few inches apart.
The four wanted to know what was going on and tried to ask their other siblings, but they looked out in the ocean to see nothing. Absolutely nothing. None of their other brothers and sisters were there.
But they did see a big fish swimming towards them. They knew this wasn't good and swam backwards slowly. The big whitish-gray fish was revealed to be a dangerous creature when it the leatherbacks saw its teeth.
They knew that had to get away. They swam away with the fish following them. It was gaining on them, or at least, the youngest on them. When it was close enough to him, the fish opened its tooth-filled mouth and took a nip out of the youngest.
All it got was a nip before the other brothers started to bite it. The fish struggled to get them, but every time it turn was another bite to it's blind spot. The fish couldn't take more and swan away, bleeding from its bite wound.
The brothers swan to the youngest and put him on the thrid oldest's back. They swan back to the place of their birth, the sandy beach. they just looked at the unconcious youngest in panic. The leg that was nipped wasn't severe, but it was still losing blood.
They had no idea what to do. They were just baby leatherback sea turtles that had just hatched from their eggs and met the ocean only to hit a strange growthspurt. All they could do was watch in tears as their youngest brother bled to death.
The oldest heard footsteps draw close, and looked up to see three other creatures. they walked on their hine-legs and was a black color, like their shells. They also had a bit of red on their heads in a weird foot-like symbols.
"What the hell?" the tallest asked.
"What in the world are those things?" one of the others asked.
The tallest one reached for the young one when he saw that he was injured, but the older wasn't standing for it. He bit into the two-legged in its hand, making him retract and scream in pain.
The two-leggeds looked in shock at The oldest's blue eyes turned red.
"Knock'em out." the tallest, the leader, said.
the others nodded and ran to the leatherbacks. Before any of them could blink, they were knocked unconcious like their brother.
"Keep that one alive." The leader said.
"And if I can't?"
"Then its useless. Either way we have to get them to master Shredder."
With that, the three two-legged creatures made their way back to their master with the baby leatherbacks.
