This story shall take place during season 4 while the team is still in space and I wrote this before Riddle of the Ancient Aeons so any changes won't apply here
(Sarcasm) Oh what a shock, I love Avatar the Last Airbender, I'm sure no one is with me when I say Avatar is beast. While TMNT'll always be my favorite cartoon of all time, Avatar is my 2nd favorite Nicktoon. As for favorite show in general, read my profile to see where it is on the list. While I think Avatar is better, I still love TMNT a lot more since I missed Avatar when it first aired, but I digress, I love it now, moving on. This'll be my TMNT version of 'Tales of Ba Sing Se' this is a tribute nothing more and something I wanna do for fun and as a personal self challenge. This prologue is just to set up the premise and yes the following reference is on purpose but we'll get to that. On with the story.
I DO NOT OWN TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES!
The team was hot on the trail of the Triceratons , it had been a long time since our heroes stopped to get fuel. So the team landed on a small moon with space gems that would be converted into fuel for the ship. The moon was beige and had pink and purple gems scattered all over its vast and wide open area. The turtles, April, Casey, and the Fugitoid stepped out of the ship and the earth teens took in the sight
"Wow..." April was mesmerized by the gorgeous atmosphere "this planet is so beautiful"
"Well, technically this isn't a planet, April, it's a moon, which may explain why it's uninhabited" said Donnie as everyone else stepped out of the ship
"Who cares? It's awesome." exclaimed Casey as he jumped out of the ship, but there was more gravity than he anticipated
"I'm with Casey" she stated "Such a shame no one can live here really. Could you imagine living in a place as amazing as this?"
"So Doc, what did you say the name of this (air quotes) 'moon' was?" asked Raph who was standing right next to the cyborg while stepping onto the moon
"This charming planetoid is known as Ranger 12." he answered politely "While Ranger 7 may have more fuel crystals, this one isn't being used by a neighboring planet, and this one is closer on our route to catching the Triceratons (bleep)."
"What planet uses the other moon?" asked Leo
"That's not important right now." he replied "Another place, another time perhaps. We're on a tight schedule to find the second black hole fragment, so we must make haste in rounding up these up these crystals." everyone nodded and began gathering space crystals and placing into a big crate that levitates
(TEN MINUTES LATER)
"Well we've got five dozen pounds of these crystals, Doc. Think it'll last a while?" asked Donnie
"Oh why yes indeed (beeep)" he was rather impressed by their hard work"Well done everyone. We've collected quite the bounty of space gem. With these gem, we'll catch up to the Triceratons in no time"
"Great. Let's get this fuel into the ship and jet outta here." said Leonardo. As the team entered the ship, Mikey stopped as something shiny caught the corner of his eye. It was a sparkling white gem that didn't look like any of the other gems that they found
'Whoooooa. Pretty...' he thought as he kneeled down to reach for it.
"Mikey!" called Leo
"Um... Coming!" he called back as he picked it up, put the white crystal in his pocket and ran back onto the ship just as it was taking off
(ON THE SHIP)
The team was on the ship merely mingling. Donnie was just on his computer, Leo and April were playing chess on the floor, and Mikey was watching Raphael spar with Casey Jones
"Hey where's Honeycutt?" asked Raph as he blocked Casey's kick
"His body was getting a little rusty, so he went to give himself an oil change." replied Donnie
Mikey sat up from where he was sitting "Hey guy! I forgot something! Check out this weird gem I found before we left that moon." he announced as he pulled the white crystal out of his pocket. The others gathered around him to see what Mikey was holding
"Ooo cool." April took a good look at the white gem "I don't think we found another gem like it, did we?"
"I don't think so." said Leo as he observed the gem carefully "What kind of gem is this, Donnie?"
"I'm not sure" he replied "Hold on to it Mikey, maybe Honeycutt's computer'll tell me something about it." he said walking back over to his laptop
"Mikey, how do we know that this thing isn't dangerous?" Raph pointed to the gem
"Ha ha! Come on, Raph, it's a shiny rock that's the size of my pucks, how much harm could it do?" smiled Casey
"Actually, research shows that Mikey's gem is an extremely rare crystal known as the Coruscans sardonyx. It says here that if someone were break the sardonyx, then each individual fragment would-"
"On it!" out of where, the naive orange masked ninja threw the gem into the air and pulled his nunchuck out and leaped into the air to break it
Donnie gasped and stood up "Wait wait wait wait, Mikey don't-"
"Don't break that!" Honeycutt entered the room, but it was too late, Mikey blade smashed the gem into six big pieces and each one scattered on the floor
"Professor Honeycutt, what is that thing?" asked April.
"Not now! Duck and cover before it's too late!" he panicked but it was too late. The fragments began to levitate on their own as each one began to hypnotize the six teenagers. Honeycutt, being a cyborg, was completely immune to their warm, bright glows that captivated the turtles, April, and Casey. Each of them just stared at their own gem
"Donatello, you mustn't touch it!" he ran over to Donnie and to stop Donnie from reaching for the sardonyx
"but...it's so beautiful...so warm.." Leo mumbled thoughtlessly as he reached for and grabbed
"I..I feel so...so calm... " Raph touched his as well as everyone else grabbed at their glowing gem
"Leonardo please! That gem is extremely dangerous! You have to fight it" he let Donnie to grab Leo's gem but doing so let Donnie touch his. When everyone mindlessly had their gem in their palms, the gems were absorbed into their minds and began to cause their eyes to glow and showing each of them special visions
"Oh dear! Not these pesky gems again! I must work on saving these young one at once! Who knows what visions they could be witnessing" with that he ran out of the room get equipment that would help him save his new friends
(TO BE CONTINUED)
Yeah I know a really bad start but it's just a setup. So how this'll work is that the turtles, April and Casey are going to have visions of their childhood. The last chapter will explain how the Coruscans sardonyx works and why it does this but everything that happens before than'll be 6 chapters, each character will have their own one shot chapter with Leo first and April last no real order.
Also the Ranger 12/Ranger 7 thing yes that was on purpose; because I am planning a TMNT/SRMTHFG crossover. I have a lot more stories to do and a lot of school projects, and that story's still a work in project, I'll start it by the end of July at the latest but I will have other stories out, this is just til I restart Rat King's Revenge. Okay see you guys next time with the Tale of Leo, Merry Christmas, Hanukkah etc. God bless
