Disclaimer: I don't own the TMNT or any characters they associate with (except my OC's), they belong to Nickelodeon etc, and I'm only doing this for fun. I made up 'SciFi-Fanfiction-net'. It's not real as far as I'm aware. Rocket, and any 'Guardian's of the Galaxy' characters belong to Marvel etc.

The pen-names for the turtles and their foes are completely fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is purely coincidence.

The views of the characters are not necessarily my views. I'm trying to keep my 'villains' in character.

A/N:

'Turtlefanforlife1982' has started a forum called 'TMNT Drama Free' to support TMNT Writer's who are targeted by cyberbullies such as the Eliminators, CU, LU, and other random Flamers.

Please check the forum out, and share tips on how we can stop cyber bullies from terrorizing fanfiction-dot-net. Thank you to those who pm'ed me to tell me about the person who added me to the cyber bullies hit list.

I've just found out I've been added to the real world version of these bullies hit list, as they consider themselves 'real' people, despite the fact that they are only a virtual entity.

This story is not part of my 'Brother's Bonding on the Cusp of Adulthood' Series. Thank you to 'Turtlefanforlife1982' for beta'ing this story.

Destroyer One's POV

I can't believe the day I've had! The kids were annoying me with demands, my husband has gone to the Hockey with his drop-kick mate Casey Jones, and I've not yet met my quota of reviews for the forum.

I found some barely disguised soft porn from a rule-breaker called 'TurtleGeekD', which Jacob, my ten-year-old son discovered. It contains bestiality, between a raccoon and a human, it's disgusting! 'TurtleGeekD' had the nerve to ask me why, so I sent him/her a copy of the rules.

Another rule-breaker called 'JumpstartBunny' was listing 'M-rated' smut as 'T-rated'.

I gave her a review that should make her leave the site permanently! I told her, that her writing was disgusting, and that Turtle Titan would never 'get' with her. Still 'JumpstartBunny' is great for my quota, as she writes prolifically. I've added sixteen of her stories so far, to our forum's 'Smut and Violence Hit List' this year alone.

I still need one more, so I trawl the Space Hero's category to see who's breaking the rules today. Looks like I'm in luck, a new writer called 'KatanaBlue' gave me a story for last week's quota, now he's giving me a story for this week's too!

He's not using the rating system correctly, and Captain Ryan is never that violent in the cartoons. His love interest is a boring Mary-Sue, which I absolutely can't stand. I tell him to give up writing, as he'll never be any good at it, based on what I've read to date.

My baby has woken from her nap, and is screaming her head off now, so I bring her over to breastfeed her. I've got my quota, so I update that in the forum, and check the new rule-breakers I'm supposed to 'Remind' for the week.

Sometimes I hate that I have to 'Seek' three new Rule-breakers every week, as it's so hard to find suitable rule-breaker stories. Mostly, I have a handful of rule-breakers that is always publishing, so I just use them for most of my quota. Our forum is very strict, we must submit our lists every week, or we lose our membership to the forum.

I do my 'Reminders', amused that 'KatanaBlue' is in the 'Reminders' list for this week, for last week's story. I bet I've made his day as crappy as mine was.

All I have to do now is my 'Flames'. I scan through my section of the forum, and make my flame comments on every negative review and complaint the forum has received about me this week.

My daughter is teething, and decides to bite me, which drips blood on my new maternity shirt. I gather her up and burp her, before hanging her into the rocker-swing next to the computer desk.

I channel all my anger, at my daughter into my next few flames. It feels good to let it all out in a constructive manner. I'm proud to say I've had more than three hundred site-members banned, and almost a thousand have permanently left the site because of my efforts.

I check on the previous weeks flame recipients, and I'm happy to see another six Rule-breakers have permanently left.

Jacob and his brother are demanding to be feed, so I lock my computer, grab the baby, and find some frozen pizza for dinner.

Destroyer Two's POV

School sucked today. I got my glasses smashed into my face again by the school jocks, and my teacher gave me detention for using my tablet in class. I was flaming a dumb chick called 'JumpstartBunny' over her stupid love story.

It was already dark when I left the school hall, since its winter. I got halfway home when some Purple Dragons decided to play 'kick the nerd'. I was getting a hell of a beating, when some guy in an outfit that looked vaguely like the Turtle Titan, but swinging nun-chucks saved me. I couldn't see him clearly, as I wasn't wearing my glasses, but he definitely didn't look like the kind of guy that would want a dumb chick in a bunny outfit for a girlfriend.

It's a long night after that. I patch myself up, then head for the fridge for a meal of cold leftover pizza and orange crush.

I scope out the Rule-breakers first, leaving insulting flames to all. I get one reply from some old person who tells me to show respect, so I tell them I don't get respect, so I'm not showing them respect.

I flame my way through all the 'Reminders' too. I'm still hungry, so I grab a couple of pop-tarts and eat them cold, while I flame all the people who had the nerve to try and complain about me.

Being on the forum, and being able to flame whoever I want, is the best thing in my miserable excuse for a life. I mean, my parents are divorced, I get beaten up every day at school, and sometimes, even when I'm going home from school, like tonight.

I love the Turtle Titan comics, and I've got every single one of them since they came out, but Turtle Titan's too busy to defend a nerdy high school sophomore every day. So flaming people who try to write bad Turtle Titan fan fiction, is my way of showing, the Turtle in the red cape, how much I appreciate him.

Destroyer Three's POV

Prayer meeting was longer than usual this afternoon. Then I had the elders meeting. I sometimes wonder about whether Hell is just one giant elders meeting, with all the elders that failed in their duties, talking over one another all at once.

My wife serves dinner, and we have family prayers. Finally, the children are in their rooms, and I can seek refuge in my office. The Youth Pastor has mentioned that several of the youth have been reading inappropriate material on a site called 'SciFi-Fanfiction-net'. As the Senior Pastor, I need to be vigilant over my flock's souls.

I've joined an online forum on the site, which focuses on enforcing the site rules. I've only been a member for a few weeks, but already I've had success in banning a violent story that was not in keeping with the cartoon's 'K rating'.

I get so wrapped up, in meeting the forums requirements, that my wife comes in to remind me, that I have to take the youth group tomorrow, as the Youth pastor is sick, so I'd better come to bed. I'm passionate about God, and I feel this site could be turned into a vehicle for reaching lost souls.

A/N: I wanted to play with the similarities between the two opposing factions.

Yes, I do know I'm using stereotypes here, but I didn't want to single out individuals, so that's how it has to be. I'm interested in portraying the abusive behaviours, not the individuals with regards to the cyberbullies. I'm also trying to get inside their heads, and look at their motivations, on why they behave this way.

I know that there are genuine reviewers/critics that join these forums, but the majority of regular "badged" members of these groups, tend to be either unashamed trolls/flamers, or religiously inclined (quite often fanatics), which tends to reduce the impact of the group as a whole.

Incidentally, I do sometimes leave titbits on their forums, usually trying to be the voice of reason, or at least, pointing out, that the people calling me a Rule-breaker, aren't keeping to the site rules themselves.

The fictitious 'Destroyers' are much more strict than most of the same types of groups in the real world.

I believe that Fanfiction-dot-net's own version of this group only have to report their quota of three rule-breaker writers every month.

I personally find that a quota system of rule-breaker's sought a little disturbing myself, especially when there are threats of Shunning and Banning for those who don't perform to the forum's expectations.

My version of this type of group is homogenized, based on my research (read 'lurking') the various forums that practice this form of abuse.

I've changed the story's villians from 'Eliminators' to 'Destroyers' to better reflect the effect they have on the people who write fan fiction.

I'd also like a pm if anyone knows good research sites I can look at, to help portray my cyberbullies better. The TMNT I understand, the cyberbullies not so much.

Please note that I'm from New Zealand, so I use 'New Zealand English' in my stories unless otherwise mentioned.

I love reviews, please tell me what you think. Please follow the site's community ettiqutte when reviewing, and be respectful in your comments. I am a real person, at the end of this computer, so please think about your comments before you submit them.

I will be continuing this story soon...
