~~~ Author's Notes
First and Foremost. This story contains deep and reality stuff. But it also contains happy moments too so it ain't that depressing. There will be action so no worries!
Lemme just warn you people. This is a TurtlexHuman story, so if you don't like, DONT READ.
Secondly, this is my very first story I have ever made in my entire lifetime. So please be kind about my grammar errors.
Thirdly, this is a slow-pace story so the main character won't be fallin' for anyone...yet. Maybe in a few chapters or so, I promise you. You will know when she fell for him.
Also, this focuses on the main character, which is an OC girl, so there won't be alot of turtles scenes yet. I also want to describe more on other characters as well so it won't be just the main character. But of course, there ARE turtles in this story 'cause IT'S A TMNT STORY. :D
Also, BE CAUTIOUS that THIS STORY IS NOT GOING TO BE IN ORDER IN THE SHOW. I'd have to change some things to it if I'm going to make this story a bit more sense and interesting. So, I've decided Karai being a good person, cause I'm basically sick of people making her evil in the show even though she really isn't. In this story, she still works with her FAKE father Shredder however, she is confused about her existence and why she belongs in the Foot. Also, the turtles do not know that she's Splinter's daughter, so there are a few complications going on when Leo hangs out with her. Plus, the story goes on when they accidentally scattered the mutagen tanks around the city. It's confusing, I know because these happens in different seasons in the show BUT there's a reason for this! I am editing a few things for the Alien Invasion. ...Spoiler alert. Basically, I'm putting all these problems together in this story. So LOTS AND LOTS OF PROBLEMS. And to spice it up a little, I will put in the romance.~ (Sorry if this was too long...)
Leave any messages if you're confused. So anyways, please enjoy reading it! :)
Chapter One: Commencement
Her vision turned black. She was trapped, surrounded by strangers screaming and holding cameras.
"Ella! Ella! Look over here!"
"How do you feel about being in the Cover Girl magazine?"
"Ms. Stone, are you having a romantic relationship again?"
"Did you have a fight with one of your relatives?"
'Ella,' she thought. 'That's my sister.' Her vision came clear and her light brown eyes widened, alarmed that she was now facing her sister.
She was tall and gorgeous. Her vanilla blonde hair went down to her waist, right in the middle of her short red dress. Her hazel eyes glowed like glittering stars in space. Her skin looked flawless, tanned and silky from head to toe. Ella looked like a beautiful goddess.Tension filled the air when she spoke.
"Jocelyn?"
Everything about her was irritating. She hated it.
She turned the opposite way and ran. She didn't want to face her sister. Not ever. She could still hear that voice, calling her name in the distance.
"Jocelyn! Jocelyn, please wait!"
Jocelyn's vision flashed white by the cameras around her. "No! Go away!" She violently pushed away the people encircling her. Suddenly, more people appeared and surrounded her, making her feel claustrophobic. "No…go away…help…" Her vision went hazy and the voices all around her started to fade before she fainted on the red carpet. Emma's voice echoed in the distance.
"Jocelyn! Jocelyn!"
"Jocelyn!"
"..celyn!"
"JOCELYN!"
Jocelyn whipped her head up from the counter, surprised by the sudden voice coming from her 67 year-old manager, Pepe Antonio de Villeton. He owned one of the most famous restaurants in New York City called Antonio's Pizza. Thank the Lord she was back to reality. She never wanted to experience that dream again. Suddenly, she received a powerful thump on her head by her boss, who had been holding a dough roller.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to sleep on the job?!"
Pepe's voice was extremely loud; it made her ear split apart. His shouting attracted the people inside the restaurant, making her situation worse.
"Sorry, Pepe. I didn't have enough sleep last night..."
"'Not enough sleep'?! This is the fourth time this week I caught you doing this!"
Noticing the people looking at their direction, he sighed, calming himself down a little. "Jocelyn, at least try to stay awake. Go to sleep a bit earlier next time."
Jocelyn pressed both hands over her eyes, feeling worn out after that nightmare. "I'm sorry."
"…Did something happen recently making you lose your naptime? Do you want a break?"
Although Pepe was a strict middle aged man, he was also sympathetic. Whenever someone in the job was having a tough time, he was there to assist you, even if it wasn't related to the job. But get the man angry, and you'd end up having broken bones in every inch of your body. That's why Pepe was one of her favorite people. He seemed more like her grandfather than her boss.
She shook her head. "I'm fine. Nothing really happened, Pepe. I promise I'll try to get some more sleep tonight."
"Alright then. But be prepared 'cause you'll be delivering tomorrow."
Ah yes. Delivering pizza was her favorite. No, not really. It sucked. Jocelyn was never the sociable person in high school so she hated seeing other people, especially when the person who ordered the pizza turns out to be one of the students in her school. Yeah, if that ever happens, she'd commit suicide. She could almost imagine them laughing at her Antonio's Pizza outfit. Truly embarrassing. Pepe knew she hated to be the delivery girl but it was the only way to keep her awake.
Her work-shift was over at 7:30 P.M., so she grabbed her skateboard and headed home. By the time she got to her apartment building she stopped at the door, room 103. When she stepped into the room after fitting her keys in the keyhole, she was greeted by a Great white Pyrenees. "Hey, Bubba!" she happily opened her arms as the large dog tackled the girl, licking her right cheek.
"Momma! Jocelyn's home!" shouted a 6-year-old boy; Peter Stone, who had been adopted by Jocelyn's aunt. He sat on the small couch in the living room watching SpongeBob.
Jocelyn sat on the couch and smiled. "Hey, Pete. How was school today?"
"It was good. We learned math today!"
"Oh, really?" she asked the boy, as if math was a good thing. Jocelyn never loved math. She hated it with a passion.
He cheerfully nodded. "Yup! I like math!"
"That's great!" She lied. Peter didn't know how evil math could be sometimes. Well, the boy was still young. One day, he'd change his mind.
"Dinner's in the fridge, hon'." She turned around to face her aunt, Darcy Stone, who had just finished drying her damp auburn hair.
"Thanks, Auntie. But I couldn't really focus on work today and now I'm tired. I'll eat it in the morning." Jocelyn got up from her seat and ruffled Pete's brown hair. "Anything new at work?"
Aunt Darcy sighed. "Not a single report. Everything's about the stupid weather and robbing banks. I want to discover something new, something that will blow people's minds away! And I've been waiting for 3 weeks."
Her light brown orbs enlarged, looking over at her Aunt. "Shit, for 3 weeks?! At least report about the people robbing banks. You can't just wait for something to happen! It'll take forever!" Peter wasn't startled by her reaction. He was too focused on SpongeBob singing the Campfire Song Song, He began to sing along.
Aunt Darcy slouched on the couch, "I tried, but apparently the boss desires something that's motivating. If my crew and I don't have anything in four days, we're done for. Do me a favor, will ya? Just keep your eyes peeled open for anything that's interesting and inform it to me."
Darcy looked like a dead beat hippo. Was her boss really that eager to discover a new story? Whatever the reason is, it was giving her aunt a difficult time. 'Cause the look on her aunt's face wasn't attractive like it always was. Her appearance looked like she didn't sleep once in 3 three days, maybe more. She really needed her help.
"I'll keep a look-out."
Her aunt formed a small smile. "Thanks, hon'. And make sure you get to sleep early this time." That last part sounded annoyed. Truth to be told, Jocelyn did have a habit of staying up late, thanks to her aunt having bought her the iPhone 4S. But today, she needed a massive amount of sleep.. Tomorrow was a big day for her.
She walked into her small bedroom. The walls were painted turquoise and the floor was made out of wood. One bunk bed above her desk, a closet, two windows, a bookshelf, and almost all the furniture every bedroom has. Apart from having a TV; she really needed that. But either way, she quite enjoyed having her own bedroom for once. Back then, she had to share with her sister.
Forcefully, Jocelyn shook the thoughts away. She changed into her Totoro footie pajamas, tied her wavy strawberry blonde hair into a bun, and prepared her outfit for school tomorrow; a tank top with high-wasted short, Jordan sneakers, and a beanie. Not too plain, not too much. Thinking about school made her cringe. Not that she hated the school; she just hated some people there. You didn't even have to know why. It's pretty obvious. 'Cause it was high school.
She glanced at the clock on the wall; it said 11:30. "Damn. Already?" She cautiously opened her door, checking if her Aunt was asleep. And thank the Lord she was. Jocelyn imagined what would've happened if she wasn't; she'd sleep on a hospital bed that night.
She climbed on her bunk bed and turned off the lights. Snuggling beneath the blanket and finding a comfortable position, she began to lose consciousness.
CRASH!
Jocelyn opened her eyes and looked at the window where she heard the loud crash. "What the hell was that?" Suddenly, more noises came. She heard the sounds of metal clashing and…beams shooting? She frowned, thinking it was those stupid teenagers playing around in the alleyways again. "Annoying brats. I'll seriously pound them this time!"
Stomping her feet furiously on the floor, she opened her window and looked out to growl and shout at the kids. And it appears that it wasn't kids… or humans! Horrified, she couldn't believe the sight she was seeing. Right before her eyes was sixteen mechanical robots battling against four giant turtles…TURTLES.
Jocelyn rapidly moved into the darkness of her room, carefully making sure she was hidden from the strange-looking creatures. 'W-What should I do?!' she thought in panic. 'I should tell Aunt Darcy about this!'
Then something clicked.
She remembered what Aunt Darcy had said. 'I want to discover something new, something that will blow people's minds away!' Do me a favor, will ya? Just keep your eyes peeled open for anything that's interesting and inform it to me.'
Jocelyn knew. This would be the perfect opportunity to record a video and show it to Aunt Darcy! Though they looked a little odd, it would certainly be interesting! It was perfect! 'This could help Aunt Darcy out with her work. The video will be seen from country to country. And we'll become rich and famous! Ha! Suck on that, Channel 6!'
One problem; Jocelyn wasn't sure if the creatures were real and not just some random people in costumes. She took a peek at the creatures. They all looked so focused on their enemies while they attacked them. It seems like the turtles were winning. 'They look real to me.' She grabbed her iPhone and started to record each turtle carefully.
First, she concentrated on the tall purple-masked turtle. Jocelyn could see differences between the four turtles, and not just because of their color-coded eyewear. Apparently, the purple turtle was the tallest among the other turtles with an olive green skin tone. His hands grasped tightly around a 6 foot-tall Bo staff. The turtle twirled his Bo staff as he took a few steps towards the mechanical robot. Creating a special surprise attack, he lunched forward, placing the staff vertically while using it to lift his weight up and strike the mechanical robot with his foot. Without turning around, he swung his staff on the next opponent coming up behind him and knocked him down. It was like he knew the robot was coming all along.
"Incredible," she muttered to herself. "Never knew I would see four giant reptiles fighting in real life."
Suddenly, Jocelyn was startled by a guy's voice. "BOOYAKASHA!"
Due to the sudden holler, she turned her phone around to view where the voice had come from.
The phone examined an orange-masked turtle. Unlike the purple turtle, this certain creature has a lime-green skin tone with freckles on both of his cheeks. He also happened to be the smallest of the turtles. He smirked as he defeated one of the mechanical robots with his nunchuks. He looked over his shoulder as three robots surrounded him, gripping their guns. Lifting his nunchuks, he began to spin and twirl them. His sudden speed was too expeditious for the robots to make their attack. The turtle swung his weapon at a 180 degree angle, striking them all down in one shot.
"Aww yeah, dudes! Three points for Mikey!" he shouted, doing a quick victory dance. Jocelyn giggled at the sight. His dance was interrupted by a large hand, hitting the little guy on the head.
"Now's not the time to do your stupid victory dances, Mikey," said another turtle who wore a red mask.
Jocelyn immediately moved her phone and observed the red-masked turtle. Compared to the other turtles, he had the darkest skin tone. The red-masked turtle was also the second smallest. But despite his height, he wore a tough look and seemed the most buff out of all the turtles. He focused back on his enemies and dashed towards the robot, leaping onto the mechanical machine. He violently stabbed it multiple times with his two sai.
Jocelyn winced at the sight. She saw the slimy brain-like creatures crawl away from its damaged robot, frightened.
'Damn. If I was in that situation, I'd do the same,' she thought to herself, still cringing at the brutal scene.
Attempting to ignore the cruel sight, she held her phone over the last turtle.
This turtle was the second tallest among the others. He wore a blue mask and had a forest-green skin tone. Evaluating the differences between him and the rest, he seemed to Jocelyn to be more serious and focused on his opponents than the others. He patiently raised his two ninjato swords, making a perfect fighting stance. He patiently waited for sudden movements of the mechanical robots to begin so he could perform his attack. Tension began to develop as Jocelyn zoomed in on her phone to create a better view. The robots launched forward, shooting beams at the turtle. He sprinted and quickly deflected the beams with his swords. The blue-masked turtle flipped twice into the air, swiping straight through the robot's body. Still keeping his stern face, he looked over at the left-over robots. He dashed forward and gracefully sliced them all in half.
Jocelyn was astonished. She never witnessed such bizarre creatures battling like this before. After the combat, Jocelyn saw the rest of the brain-like creatures scuttling away. The four turtles cheered their victory.
"Aww yeah, bros! High Three!" shouted the orange turtle, Mikey. The others responded to him by high-threeing each other.
"Great job, you guys," said the blue turtle, putting his two swords behind his back. "We should probably head back now. It's getting late and Master Splinter might be concerned about us."
"I agree," replied the purple turtle with a mischievous smirk. "I have to arrange some corrections on my processor."
The red turtle looked at the purple turtle with a mischievous smirk. "Oh? Do you mean the pictures of April in your data folder?"
The purple turtle flushed and formed a furious face, spun around to face the red turtle. "Raph!"
Raphael snickered, raising his hands in defense. "Alright, alright! Calm down, Don. I was just messin' with you."
"Guys! Remember that we're on the surface. Meaning, we're supposed to be quiet!" demanded the blue turtle.
Mikey planted his hand on his eldest brother's shoulder. "No worries, Leo. Nobody's gonna wake up and see us. You gotta learn how to chilllll, son."
Jocelyn scoffed to herself. 'A bit too late for that.'
She ended the video. "Once this video goes on TV, the Stones will be stinkin' rich!" That sounded selfish. But what other choice does she have? Sure, she'd feel bad for the turtles of people finding them like they were their prey, but her aunt needed this, badly. If she didn't have a story for her, she'd end up losing her job; and being broke!
Jocelyn unintentionally banged her head on the wall, causing the bookshelf to fall down. All the books and her action figures fell, making loud crashes.
The four turtles looked up to her window. "What was that?" said Leo.
Raph cracked his knuckles, "Looks like we have company."
'Shit. Shit. Shit.' Jocelyn's face went pale. She could almost hear them climbing up the fire escape. She moved deeper into the darkness of her room, hoping they won't see her. If they had night vision, she'd be screwed. Jocelyn braced herself as the clanging of the fire escape grew louder.
Suddenly, the door flew open, showing a tall figure who flicked on the lights. 'Aunt Darcy.' She wore a bathrobe and her auburn hair was up around Velcro rollers. Her emerald eyes were like green fire. She put on a furious face. "JOCELYN! I knew you were awake again! And you're on your phone?! Gimme it right now, young lady!"
Jocelyn stuttered, "A-Auntie… I-I was just-"
Darcy cut her off. "NOT a single word. I told you to sleep early! How are ya going to school with those bags under your eyes? And who wears footie pajamas at age 16? No guys will fall for you in that thing you're wearing! Childish! By the way, did you have a Valentine last year? No? I didn't think so! You probably won't have one this year either! Now, gimme the Goddamn phone!"
Ouch. She wasn't this harsh before. Probably 'cause she had been so exhausted today. Jocelyn would need to apologize in the morning. She didn't respond and handed over her phone. "But Auntie, hear me out! I would've slept early this time but I saw something strange outside and-!"
"Didn't I say not to speak? If you ever go to sleep late again, I'll throw your phone away! Am I clear?"
Watching Aunt Darcy walking out of the room, she felt Jocelyn grabbing her leg. "No! Please, Auntie! I'm deeply sorry for staying up again. Just don't throw away my phone. It's like my child! MY LIFE!" Jocelyn kept on pleading while her Aunt ignored her, heading towards the trashcan. "NOOOOO!"
The four turtles stood still, hiding on the fire escape and watched the odd girl getting dragged by the old woman. The turtles sweat-dropped except for one turtle, Mikey, who was chuckling at the scene.
"So," said Raph, completely evading the piercing noises coming from the window. "Anyone up for pizza back at home?"
"I'm in," responded the others, jumping down from the fire escape. They all climbed down to the sewers and closed it shut with the NYC manhole cover.
-End of Chapter 1
~~~Author's Notes:
So, that's the story so far, folks! Hopefully you'll look forward to the next chapter. Just so y'know, I am a really slow writer so I deeply apologize for that. Make sure to Comment! ^^ Here's a sneak-peek of the Next Up-coming chapter:
Jocelyn's eyes expanded, again staring at the blue eyes. She came back to her senses and realized she was face-to-face with one of the turtles; the turtle with the blue mask, hanging upside-down outside her window. Her face paled and mouth hung open.
"AAAHHHHHH!"
