Hello everyone! OMG, I've had this idea for about over a year now, and had no idea what the heck to do with it. But now, I think what I've cooked up this time is pretty great! This will mostly be about my three new OC's, but it will also involve my favorite shipping of all television, big time, so watch out for that too. It's an alternate universe of the episode 'Requiem'. Also, I don't own TMNT. I only own these three lovely little ladies introduced in the prologue (because they are OCs, and OCs are the only things I own whatsoever), whom I think you will all enjoy. Wow, most likely the longest intro so far! I'm mean, by me talking...never mind! I'd better stop blabbing now or I'll give everything away! ON WITH THE SHOW! And when you're done, leave a review, favorite, follow, and as always… Enjoy!
*No one's POV*
"IT'S DONE!" shouted Baylee, bursting from the lab.
The two other figures in the room looked up. Slowly, they stood up upon hearing what their older sister said. "You're sure this time?!" ten year old Amanda asked. Her long black hair was in two braids, cascading down her back, and her green eyes were shining with tears of happiness. Amanda's older twin sister (by seven minutes), Baylee, was mirroring her sister's joy. If they were exactly identical, you most likely wouldn't have been able to tell them apart, but Baylee's long black hair was in one braid, and her eyes were blue, like her mother's eyes had once been. Amanda got her eye color from their maternal grandmother.
"Yes. This time I got it." said Baylee. Amanda let out what sounded like a choked sob, and the twins hugged, both crying. Running up to join them, was their seven-year-old little sister, Scarlet. She definitely looked like her name. She also had long hair, but her's was bright red, and her eyes were a dark maroon color. Her face was also sprinkled with freckles. "I can't believe it!" she shouted, her eyes watering. "We get to see mommy and daddy again! And I actually get to meet them for the first time!" Baylee looked up at her little sisters. "You two also know that this will be the hardest thing we've ever had to do, but we have to do it. We're the last living members of the Hamato clan, and we've got to fulfill the prophecy." Baylee's sisters firmly nodded their heads in understanding.
All three girls had been waiting for this day for so long. One year ago, they had gotten a message from the Utroms in Dimension X, saying that they had received a vision, a prophecy of some sort, saying that Baylee, Amanda, and Scarlet could change everything. Stop the uncountable amount of evil from rising to power after bringing the Hamato clan to a traumatic end.
"Okay, do you two want to get your stuff and take a last look around home before we head to the past?" asked Baylee. This would be the last time they ever saw it like this. Not that it was much to look at. Both girls nodded to their big sister's question. One by one, they began walking around, looking at the only home they had ever known for the final time.
Baylee went to the dojo. The tree had withered a long time ago, it's branches sagging like a weeping willows, and every leaf gone forever. On the walls hung various weapons. A few stood out in particular: a pair of nunchucks, tied together by orange cloth; a pair of katanas, bound by cloth colored blue; a pair of sai, held by red cloth; a tanto and tessen, held by two ribbons, yellow and black, that could have made good headbands; an emerald cane, gleaming in the dim light; and last of all, a bo staff. Gently wrapped around its base was a purple cloth. Baylee's eyes filled with even more tears. Then, she carefully lifted the tessen off the wall. She unfolded it, gazing at her clan's crest. This, along with her favorite pair of katanas that she used every day, was what she would take to the past with her. 'Leonardo would have taken these.' she thought to herself. 'We are both leaders of our teams. This would be a leader's choice.' She glanced up at the wall again, and took down the tanto, and the bo staff. Then, she went to her room to pack and get ready.
Meanwhile, Amanda had gone to the lab. Everything looked old, for most of the stuff had not been used for years. Even the lights barely worked. Well, most of the lights didn't work at all, casting the lair into a sad kind of shadow. Amanda wished this was still a time when its lights shone brightly, and laughter echoed in the tunnels and rooms. She brushed her fingers over the empty beakers and test tubes, remembering the times she had worked with them, and her father had told her to make sure she didn't hurt herself with them. She looked at a shelf with lab books, and remembered how she, Baylee, Scarlet, and their parents would sit together and read them all over and over again, hours at a time, each and every day. She sat in the chair at the desk, remembering how she and her sisters would spin in endless circles in it, begging their father to help them make it spin, to which he would happily say yes. Why had those times stopped?
Last, but not least, Scarlet had gone out to a tunnel. It was quiet, and bare, with almost nothing, but she had come to talk to someone. She knelt at a spot in the wall, where a final resting spot was engraved in the cement, put there by her and her sisters themselves.
"Hi, mommy. Hi, daddy." she said. No response, but she imagined her parents appearing before her once more, saying hello to their youngest daughter and asking what was going on."We're actually doing it!" she said with enthusiasm. "Baylee, Amanda, and I are going to save you! We got the time machine working!" Nothing, but Scarlet didn't care. "I get to see you two again." she said, this time a tiny bit quieter. "And I get to meet everyone else you've told us about. It'll be like...you all...never died…" she trailed off. Then, the seven year old's eyes welled up with salty tears, and she lowered her head. In the dark, her small body shook with sobs. She couldn't bare to look at her parent's graves any longer.
When she went back, Baylee and Amanda had changed. They both wore armor, similar to the description of their aunt Karai's old armor, but Baylee's was magenta, and Amanda's was powder blue. The Hamato crest was embossed on the front of each. Twin katanas were strapped across Baylee's back, and a tanto blade with a yellow dragon pattern stenciled on it was fastened in Amanda's belt. Also in each of their belts, were backup tessens. Baylee was holding two more weapons, and another set of armor. Slowly, she walked up to Scarlet and held them out to her.
Minutes later, Scarlet was dressed exactly like her sisters, only her armor was a light lavender color. She also had a extra tessen, but sitting peacefully on her back was a bo staff, with the purple cloth still wrapped firmly around the center. Looking closely at Baylee's tessen, she could see a yellow ribbon tied around its handle. Same for Amanda's tanto, but around its handle was a black ribbon.
"Is everybody ready?" asked Baylee to her little sisters. Baylee and Amanda might have been twins, but Baylee was so much of a leader and big sister figure, Amanda always felt like she was a lot younger than being seven minutes behind Baylee. Both Amanda and Scarlet nodded at this. They headed into the lab. Sitting in the center of it, which Amanda overlooked, was a large, portal-like device, made with all sorts of metal and very old Kraang tech salvaged from around the lab.
"Oh, one more thing." said Baylee as she fiddled with some wires in the back. "Yes?" asked Amanda and Scarlet at the same time. "Let's not tell them right away when we get there that we're...mommy and daddy's daughters. We'll let them figure it out when the time is right. As a matter in fact, we can't say we're even related to them just yet. We'll let them find out of their own. Okay?" she explained.
Once again, Baylee got the firm nod she was expecting. She answered with a nod of her own, then the portal lit up and began to spin. "This is the one time this can work. Once there, we have to make a new one. And once everything's done, thanks to some technology I've come up with, none of us, from either time, will remember anything after it's all over, because the timeline's changed."
She walked in front of it, and together, the three sisters just stared at it, terrified of what they were about to do. But it was their only chance of saving their parents from their untimely deaths. Scarlet reached out for Baylee's hand. She gratefully took it. Amanda, on Scarlet's other side, also took the littlest sister's hand in her own. The light had illuminated all three of their faces, and they were very afraid. But something else shone in the glow, not just fright.
It was hope. And faith.
Then, as one, the team of small kunoichis jumped into the machine with a blinding flash. And little did anyone know, that everything, was about to change.
Everything…...
A/N. Stay tuned! ;)
That...had to be one of the shortest, yet saddest prologues I've ever written. Oh gosh, I hope that wasn't too rushed. Okay, moving on! So the next episode will take place just a few hours after the episode 'Tale of Tiger Claw', so the next episode, 'Requiem', will have an alternate plot line (sort of). So, what did you guys think? I think I might have made it a bit too obvious who their mom and dad are, but I hope you guys didn't figure it out just yet! Well, that's just about it! Leave a review, favorite, follow, and as always…
