TMNT - Legend of the Nightwatcher Lives (Prologue)
Author's Note: This is a side story for Unexpected Mother , but the way the story goes, you can read this story without reading the original, for this Prologue explains everything you need to know. That said, please note the way the prologue is written out isn't going to be the style of writing of this story. The chapters will be done in the same style as most of my stories.
My name is April O'Neil, here on out, are the events that played out in my two years of being a prisoner in the once great City of New York, that is now no more than a feeding ground, uninhabited by humans, only we mutants remain, unable to leave this place, this hell hole.
How did it start? Simple, but here is the short version, it was my fault… This whole thing was actually all my fault, no matter how I look at it, all eyes are on me. Am I saying this for self pity? No, I want to be blamed, for what I saw and witness it's my punishment.
To think that this situation happened because of one fateful day when I went to see the guys, that day I touch something I shouldn't have. The Egg of Beginnings, because of that, I activated it somehow causing the turtles, my friends to die… well more like to be reborn. Making me their biological mother, that story isn't what I am going to be telling…
You see, the turtles were only 3 years old when the city fell, because of their mysterious disappearance that I and Leatherhead only knew the truth. What I was told they didn't stop this from happening, like this was their burden. Honestly, it was all bullshit to state that they had to save the world like it was on their shoulders! Damn fuckers blaming my babies…
Anyways, one day a rain fell, that rain unfortunately wasn't water base, but mutagen, a kind that I nor any other people, that were familiar with the stuff, has ever seen. When it touched a human one of two things would happen. If the human had horse shoes up their ass they would mutate, if not so lucky their body will reject it, causing their insides to liquefy and well their ending was a big pop… Think of a water balloon when you fill it pass its limits, it explodes, that was what people were doing all over. The mere smell of death was overwhelming. The screams were horrifying, making you want to crawl up into a ball and hide.
Needless to say, being human at the time, Leatherhead and I decided to flee the city before it was too late. We were unaware Karai had another idea, stopping us from reaching the Brooklyn Bridge. After a fight and other things that happened, I fell into the mutagen, mutating into what I last touched, my sons… During the chaos I lost consciousness waking up some time after, finding out Leatherhead thought I was dead and left the city safely with my children. Unfortunately for me, Karai interrogated me per say, more like she was beating the shit out of me. Let's put it this way, I became very grateful for having a shell at the time… Karai was taking her anger over Leo's disappearance on me if you didn't clue in. After that and some unpredictable events, we found ourselves stuck, unable to leave the city, unless we wanted to wind up dead…
You see, the government closed the city, making it impossible to leave, then two weeks later the government fell, letting other factions to take over, that's what I heard. The thing is, New York wasn't the only city to be hit by this so called rain on that day, other major cities were having the same issues. Who was behind it, that was still a mystery on it's own.
Anyways, back to what the hell is going on in New York, some factions too, took root within the city, for me I tried to stay out of them. All I wanted was to find a way out of the city, back to my family, not prolong my stay here if necessary.
In the end, I had too teamed up in a matter of speaking, with Karai and others that too had the same goal. Because of the egg of Beginnings, I found I had an unusual side effect to the mutagen, for that I had to hide who I was, to prevent other factions finding me out. At first I wasn't sure how, I knew I couldn't just sit around waiting, I wanted to see my family again. Then one day I found the answer I was seeking...
