Disclaimer: Disclaimer? Pfft! I barely know her! LoL No, but seriously. It's in chapter 1. XD
Author's Note(s): YAY! I finally reached the start of the actual series! XD EPISODE ONE! DUN DUN DUUUUUUUN! I can't help I had a lot to edit and I'm either lazy or busy. X3
Anywho! For those of you TMNT fans out there, yes I DID use the title for the first episode and put my own spin on it for the sake of my OC's being in it and wanting them to feel included. Lmfao! I'm all thoughtful like that. X3 Also the characters like the turtles and my OC's will all be 18 years old and older instead of 15, because to me it just doesn't seem to fit. Anyone in school will be on their last year and so forth, so no worries. :3
"Rise of the Turtles & the Guardians (in training) Pt 1"
As Utroms were known to live up to a ripe old age of at least one thousand years, if something else didn't kill them, Haruhi aged slower than normal humans. He barely looked a day over twenty-three in the approximately eighteen years that passed since he left Japan.
Because his natural talents with sound and vibrations became honed through rigorous training, the dark haired brunette took on the name Soundwave as his Guardian name. He even learned how to combine his powers with the Thread Technique; and that it worked in harmony with his koto strings like it was made to be used that way.
Hopefully that would prove useful for him, as it was a dark night made even more so in the boarded up warehouse, where the Kraang were storing crates full of their weaponry and mutagen. It was one of their off base caches.
Haruhi was dressed in the uniform of a Guardian, which consisted of hooded trench coat and a form fitting suit which covered the wearers entire body; all of which could change and shift to fit the host/wearers needs, and was made of a light yet durable black material that was discovered and modified by the Utroms.
Its design was based upon a fascinating black symbiotic organism they happened upon in their many travels to other worlds, called a symbiote. However, the modifications they made to it for the Utroms suit, made it so it didn't feed off of its host and dominate it or try to kill it somehow; whether on purpose or by accidentally burning out the host.
This one needed its host to survive and worked more like a machine in order to help keep the wearer alive as it would die if the host died. The symbiote suit adapted to its host, which included any mutant powers if they had any. It could form weapons the host needed so long as it was being held; as projectiles would dissolve after a few minutes of being separated from its host.
The suit could form other clothing or simply form around what was being worn; depending on how the host chose to utilize it. The suit could also store things, as it had a sort of sub-space within it that came in quite handy.
It was injected into the bloodstream of the host, and fed upon a small amount of chemicals naturally found and replenished within the body, so that the host was never in any danger of being bothered.
The marvelous alien uniform also provided enough durability to make decent armor, but was light and flexible enough so the wearer could easily maneuver as one could in ordinary clothing. It also provided a protective black facemask that covered up the wearers entire head.
Though the mask could be removed easily and shift in style to a degree to fit what the wearer wanted or needed, it was typically worn so that the wearers nose and mouth were concealed with a filter to keep them safe from toxins, smoke and gasses, and the Kraang atmosphere and to better protect their identity.
Silvery white lenses covered the eyes in a rather wicked looking oval-ish dome shape that had sharp curved points near the top and bottom corners. If anyone in their universe knew about Venom, Black Suited Spider-Man and their version of the symbiotes, and vice versa, they'd say that either one of them would've been jealous to see a symbiotic suit like that.
The Guardians didn't wear any symbol on their uniform as they and the Utroms were all about anonymity; thus no matter what clan you belonged to (if you belonged to one), you didn't have to worry about putting them in any danger or anything. As far as the world knew, the Guardians didn't exist. And that was what they aimed for.
Soundwave crept stealthily from shadow to shadow to survey the area; moonlight casting eerie shadows here and there. The perfect cover for a ninja… or so one might think!
Suddenly, the lights came on. They blared down brightly; leaving hardly any shadows to hide in. But it was too late to try as the brunette had already been spotted. The Kraang droids that had been on guard turned their attention upon him.
More hurried from another room of the warehouse, and the next thing he knew, they had him surrounded; guns aimed and ready to fire. Haru's eyes narrowed slightly as he smirked behind his mask.
He swiftly tossed down a smoke pellet and disappeared in a whirl of bluish purple black smoke. Some of the droids panicked and fired at one another by accident; taking out some of their numbers for him.
Using the distraction to his advantage, he used his powers to increase his speed and almost seemed to have appeared from thin air behind the droids; the strands of his koto strings faintly giving off a silvery glint as they followed the fluid movement of those nimble fingers.
Moving his fingers and hands with a swift finesse that came with years of practice, did the wires wrap themselves around three of the droids and slice them apart as easily as a hot knife through butter.
His koto strings, much like Akira's, were not just any ordinary koto strings, but had been enhanced with one of the special metals from the Utroms world. It was remarkably durable.
And if it had to be described, one could say it was akin to Vibranium from the MARVEL-verse. It was the same material which made up Akira's koto strings, Jenny's arrows, and Kaia's tekko-kagi.
As they blasted at him, the experienced Guardian used his speed and strings to outmaneuver the slow robots and counterattack; relieving the droids and the panicking aliens within them of their weapons and limbs as he went.
When it was all over, and the only thing that remained were the scattered, severed parts of the robots and the splashes of pink Kraang copy pieces all about him, Haruhi exhaled softly and straightened up his composure, while the words "Simulation Complete" echoed in an emotionless computer voice.
The warehouse and everything except for the brunette faded away to reveal the Utroms simulation room. Some small cleaning robots came out of their places in the walls to clean up the parts of the LMD's (Life Model Decoys), while Haruhi looked up at the glass window of the viewing room where his students stood watching and chattering quietly amongst themselves.
"And that, my students, is one way to adapt when one is discovered. Even an environment that appears perfect to conceal ones self in can prove otherwise. Most particularly when the enemies have evolved their equipment to see in the dark as we have." Haru said as his koto strings retracted back into the silvery golden bells between his fingers.
He hung the bells in their usual spot on his hair band underneath of the hood he wore. "Hai Sensei!" His students echoed loudly from their viewpoint. The halfling then proceeded to have each one of them go through the same simulation to see how each faired and could improve.
Each student ran it at least three times depending on how they did; even if they did well. It was all about the practice, and even if it could be draining and aggravating sometimes for them, he taught them that it was better to fail in a simulation than in real life.
His cousin Karina had long since grown into adulthood and become a full-fledged Guardian under his tutelage. She was currently attending college in the city, but lived at home with her little sister Akira to help look after her.
Although, with the way his youngest cousin grew up, he thought Akira didn't need much looking after. She was eighteen now and in her last year of high school. Aki was currently one of the students in his class; for lack thereof or a better name for it.
The students in his class were typically broken off into manageable teams of four and would remain in them until they were full-fledged Guardians. Then if they wanted, they could remain in their team or do otherwise; depending on the mission.
Why a team of four? No one really knew. That's just how the Utroms preferred it. Two teams or more could pair up if it was necessary, but four just seemed to work. Akira's teammates were Malakaia, Danny and Jenny.
Akira was best friends with one of her teammates in particular. Her full name was Jennifer Jones; the little twin sister of Casey Jones who preferred being called Jen or Jenny. But as a Guardian (in training), she was better known as Trickshot.
Aki and her family (minus Haruhi who stayed at the Utrom Facility) lived in the building across the street from Jenny's, and they practically grew up together since Aki's family moved to New York from Japan so many years ago with her older sister Karina and her parents; all three of whom were Guardians, at least until Aki's mom died in the line of duty.
Her full name was Akira Murakami, and because of her still budding body, was sometimes mistaken for a very pretty boy due to having a small cup size. But unlike Jen, she wasn't mocked about it unless by some stupid girls who were just envious of Aki's looks.
Akira took after her cousin Haruhi in the ambiguous yet naturally gorgeous department. Though for the most part, most of the women (and Haruhi) in Aki's family, like her sister, were petite yet sylphlike in their physique.
Hardly any of the girls in their group wore much besides fruity lip gloss, seeing as they had more pressing matters to deal with than spackling on make-up like a skanky clown.
Haruhi was their designated sensei, but when he was on missions, another Guardian would substitute for him. It was usually Karina, as Haru trusted her to do as he would. Aki had a curtain of rich brown hair that fell to her shoulders, and curled inward to frame her delicate features; with bangs that hung above a pair of vibrant deep blue-green almond shaped eyes.
Like those in her family, and even Jenny, Aki had a sylphlike form that most women in general would've killed for, and had a creamy complexion. Most people often told Aki how much she looked like her sister or cousin Haruhi had when he was that young; whom ironically had also been mistaken for the wrong gender on more than one occasion.
Aki was the same age as Jenny, so they were a bit tied in the group as being the two youngest; even if they were eighteen now, as well as the two of the three girls in their group who had the smallest chest pillows.
Akira was about an inch shorter than Jen though, but she was no less lethal in battle, and definitely earned the name Livewire for more reasons than one. She had the ability to manipulate electricity but was still learning about it; just as the rest of her team were learning about their powers.
Like her cousin, had figure out how to use it to better control her weapon to make it more useful and deadly. Her silvery koto strings were housed in within the sub-space of her symbiotic suit rather than bells, and could be accessed via the spot over the pulse point of her wrists when her suit was on or when it formed over them.
And although she was the youngest, Akira was chosen as the leader of the group as she was the most mature and responsible of their misfit lot. After finding out they shared the fact that they were both mutants, their friendship only grew stronger.
Now Jenny earned the name Trickshot due to her skill with arrows and the bow which her suit formed, and partially to do with how she had the ability to charge objects (such as her arrows) with kinetic energy and use them in different ways as projectile weapons.
Jen's ability to tap kinetic energy also grants her incredible superhuman physical abilities such as; strength, speed, reflexes and reactions, agility, flexibility, dexterity, coordination, balance, and endurance.
And to an extent, being able to heal quicker than most humans with a higher resistance to damage. Which came in handy, as the boom happy boffin was used to getting burned, zapped, and a whole array of other bodily harming things which came with her inventing and their fighting.
The reason being because her body constantly generated bio-kinetic energy, and so was perfectly constructed for constant motion. This, and the fact that she was athletic from all the time she spent training and playing sports like hockey with her brother, gave her an added edge of being proficient in acrobatics; a must have for any ninja.
She also had the ability to create static, because of the charged potential energy always in her body, that help to shield her mind from detection and intrusion by those with telepathic abilities like Aki's big sister Karina. Though she is still working on trying to master this so as to have an advantage against the Kraang.
Jenny may be the twin sister of Casey Jones, but as he was older than her by several minutes, Jen was considered the "little" sister. They were by no means identical in appearance, for her hair was long, wavy and flowed passed her slender shoulders; with somewhat fluffy bangs that were parted slightly more to the right. And it was all held back by a yellow ribbon done up in a cute bow.
Somehow it was such an odd shade of red that it ended up looking somewhat magenta, but it oddly suited her, and matched well with her striking green eyes. And unlike her brother who liked the punkish grungy look with the colorful spatterings of paint all on his clothes, she preferred to dress a bit more cleanly.
And he sometimes teased her "classy style" by saying stuff like "No wonder no one can tell we're twins, or heck, even related." But she found this more comical than insulting, as he did kinda have a point, no matter how down to earth she was.
Jen wasn't vain by any means; she just didn't like looking or feeling gross. Jenny liked to look good and feel good. However, she still enjoyed dressing in comfy stuff and could be a bit of a tomboy with her choices of style.
Essentially, she looked like a cuter, younger, female version of her big brother with a lean, svelte build from all the training she did; looking gracefully and attractively thin, despite being two or three inches shorter than Casey.
Due to her taut build, her breasts were firm and not flabby like some girls. This meant, at least for her anyways, that they weren't huge or anything as her body was still maturing, but she was sometimes teased by girls jealous about having smaller breasts than them, that she was sometimes called "Flat Chest" by the asshats she went to school with because she had a lot of redeeming features.
Such as how she was a mad genius, had the "Jones Family" hotness (as Casey referred to it as) and long, willowy legs that more than made up for what she lacked in the chest department. Even if she was sometimes a bit self-conscious about it, Jen tried not to care about something so silly.
The next one in their group was the tallest of the four. His name was Daniel Astin, or Danny for short. But he liked to call himself Nightwatcher; as even after the nightly patrols he and his team sometimes did, he and his close friend Savage (aka Kaia) liked scouring the city for regular human thugs to beat up when they hadn't seen any action for a while.
He was nineteen, just a year younger than Kaia who was twenty years old. He had amber brown eyes that seemed to change shade depending on the light, and a head full of slightly spiky ash-brown hair to match; his bangs were short and varied in length with a few of the smaller strands reaching just to his eyebrows. The style fit his bright laidback personality.
He had a slightly sun kissed, very wiry physique. His willowy limbs adding to the attractive gracefulness such a mellow yet sunny guy like Danny had. And while he was the only male on his team, he didn't mind.
Mostly because he knew his teammates would respect that, so he wouldn't have to worry about getting hit on or anything, since he was also bisexual, but preferred cute guys to girls.
Danny could manipulate light energy to create his own weapons and teleport short distances. He preferred using simple weapons like a staff or blades, but with the way he was learning to control his power, it was really all he needed.
Malakaia Milton, also called Kai or Kaia, but better known as Savage may have been the last member of their team, but she was far from the least. She was the oldest of the team; beating Danny by only a year, but she was the second shortest of the team of four, as Akira was the shortest and Danny was the tallest.
Kaia could be rather cocky at times, but to anyone who really knew her like her team did, she was actually a pretty chill young woman. Kai had long curly pumpkin orange blonde hair that she wore twirled up in ringlet pigtails with black X-like styled bows and slightly spiky short bangs that was parted more to the left.
She had a pair of bright topaz eyes which only seemed to add to her naturally cute appearance. It often led to people underestimating her; at least until she flashed a toothy grin and they noticed the two pointy fang-like canines she proudly sported.
Like her teammates, she had a lissome form from training. Though she was shapelier in the chest region than the other two girls as hers were the biggest. Savage was pretty cool despite her occasionally psychotic and violent tendencies in a fight.
Kaia had the uncanny ability of Animal Mimicry; where she could take on the traits of animals to enhance herself physically or otherwise, like giving herself the keen eyesight of an eagle, the speed of a cheetah, or the nigh-indestructibility of a cockroach.
In Danny's opinion, she was pretty badass, and definitely someone they knew would have their backs when shit hit the fan; as Danny in particular knew from experience. Yep, if there was ever a more eager warrior type than himself that loved playing hero, it was none other than Kai.
If her closest friend Daniel had to describe her, he'd probably say she was like the female Deadpool of their group; although Dan would have to admit she was thankfully just somewhat saner than the bat-crap crazy mercenary.
But eh, he was biased and not exactly the poster boy for sanity himself, so one couldn't really take his word in regards to her sanity. At least that's how a comic lover like Danny would describe her if they got MARVEL comics in their dimension/universe.
They may have had their differences, some of which they were still working on, but the four of them got along pretty well and had been through enough together to know they could count on each other.
After training, Haruhi and two other Guardians split the class into their respective teams and went out on patrol. Until a certain point in their training, the students had to be escorted by a Guardian to prevent anything unfortunate from happening. The purpose of taking them on patrol with them was to help the students get the feel for it, as well as the experience; whether they found anything or not.
Haruhi was a mutant in his own right, being a halfling and all, so he was expected to keep an eye on the team in his class who were mutants; being better able to handle them just in case it was necessary.
Depending on how each night went, varied on the time which they were done with patrol. Tonight it hadn't lasted very long, but combined with the hours they put in at the "school", they were all pretty beat by the time Haruhi called it a night.
They were finally out of their ninja uniform though, and back in their regular clothes. Not that they minded the Guardian outfit, but, heheh, it just didn't do when they were trying to pretend to be "normal" people.
Jenny's ninja garb seemed to melt away underneath of her clothing, to reveal that she had on a pair of slightly baggy dark grey cargo pants, black sneakers, a blue T-shirt with the cute yellow star from the Super Mario Brothers game on it, and a black denim jacket. Her dress style wasn't too far off from her big brothers, as she loved being comfortable, but she preferred her clothing looking cleaner than his.
Danny had on some casual clothing; a white T-shirt with a light blue button up shirt over it that was unbuttoned, white sneakers and blue jeans. Simple, but cozy and yet stylish. They were coming from the Utrom facility where they trained.
Akira had on a simple dark blue pleated skirt and a creamy pale yellow blouse with and brown shoes that resembled Mary Jane shoes but were much comfier. She dressed a bit more casually than her older sister Karina; who had a slight Goth flare to the style she dressed in.
Malakaia sported a lavender T-shirt with a pattern of black butterflies on it, light blue bellbottom jeans, a light, hooded grey jacket with a white fluffy fake rabbit fur ruffle around the trim, and cute tan boots.
"Ugh… man I'm tired…" Jenny sighed as she stretched her arms; arching her back slightly as she left with her teammates. "At least you get to go home. Danny and I have to clock into work soon." Malakaia told the redhead with a chiding tone. The orangette found it silly the other saw any reason to complain.
"Knowing Jen-chan, she'll probably head to the library or go scavenging." Akira said with that light Asian accent and cool tone of hers and a knowing smirk. "Ooo! Seriously?! Hey, Jenny, if you do, can you try to keep an eye out for the usual?" Danny asked a tad excitedly.
The "usual" meaning comics, games, anime, or whatever other interesting type of geek paraphernalia people tended to throw away. It was amazing some of the stuff Jen had actually found, so she told him she would, and he thanked her with a happily hopeful mood that she would find something good for him.
They chatted, joked, laughed, and did what most "normal" teenager friends their age did; even if their choices of conversation or humor wasn't based on what non-powered humans thought of as normal.
Like when they spoke about their training and playfully ribbed those of their team that messed up. "Oh come on! That's funny! You could've totally owned that freaking round of practice if you hadn't accidentally thought of the wrong animal." Jenny teased mirthfully.
"I mean, who thinks eyes of a bat when they were trying to think eyes of a cat?!" The redhead clutched her stomach as she laughed even harder; remembering how Kaia ended up slamming hard face first into a crate and falling over after ending up being blind as a bat rather than being able to see in the dark like a cat as she had intended.
Kaia frowned and crossed her arms over her chest. "Yeah, well at least I didn't blow up part of the simulation room like you did." The orangette smirked smugly at seeing how flustered the previously laughing redhead became.
"I didn't mean to! How was I supposed to know charging my Roller Bombs was a bad idea?!" She argued; obviously feeling bad for having caused damage she hadn't meant to.
Haruhi sensei had been rather cross with her and made her run the simulation three more times without using her powers or anything that went boom, which was a punishment in itself to the redhead. "Heh, well the fact that they were already explosive should've given it away, Ms. Smartypants." Kaia only laughed when Jen stuck her tongue out at her.
The older girl's smirk softened to a smile and she gave their groups tech-spert a friendly pat on the back that almost knocked the redette over. Jenny frowned slightly but then ended up joining in the mirth as they changed the subject to how cool they thought Haruhi's run of the sim had been.
Kaia and Danny went their own way at one point so they could go to work at the comic book shop Danny's dad ran, named Mirage Comic Shop. Jenny walked Akira to the restaurant her grandfather Mr. Murakami ran called 24/7.
Like their other two friends, Akira worked part-time with her blind grandfather after school and training. She worked as a waitress and helped him out however she could. Aki knew her grandfather was more than capable of taking care of himself.
But with the Purple Dragon gang nearby bothering other places and knowing they liked to pop in to 24/7 form time to time, she wanted to make sure he was safe. The brunette especially wasn't very fond of the one known as Xever, who occasionally showed up with them…
Jenny went in and stayed long enough to say hello to Aki's grandfather before leaving her friend to work, as he was a cool and very nice guy and she got along rather well with Aki's family.
But her brunette friend was right in saying she'd probably go to the library. Before she left to go off with her friend, and Casey went to the rink to get in some practice as he did most days, he asked for her help with a project he had to do for school.
So she figured she'd get some books to help him out. Jenny wanted him to do some of the reading and work himself, as was their agreement for when she helped him with his studies.
And though he could be less than thrilled about it, Casey found he did retain what he learned better, so he couldn't really sass her methods but so much. She ended up there for about a half hour before leaving.
She had a few more hours to kill before she knew her brother would realize what time it was and head home. He usually loved practicing at the rink until the freakin' place started closing down; which was pretty late.
Jen didn't really feel like sitting there just to watch him tonight. Besides, it was the best time to go scavenge some at one of the junkyards she liked to frequent. So she went and spent some time there.
Though it was slim pickings, as it could be sometimes, the redette was a bit pleased to have found a handful of small parts she could work with and an action figure from what looked like some Power Ranger looking cartoon.
That night, as Jenny turned the corner down the dimly lit sidewalk with her hands in the pockets of her jacket and some freshly scavenged goodies in her backpack while on her way home, the young Jones had no idea her life was about to get a whole lot more complicated…
To be continued...
Yay! My other four OC's have been properly introduced! X3 I have 6 altogether I think, but the 6th one (Karina) will be in her own fic as I have mentioned. I'm working on it, but if anyone wants to be updated when I do post it up on here, just follow me (the author). :D Hope that helps.
For the most part, the episodes WILL be going in order, but my OC's may or may not show up in every episode, as April and other characters are absent from certain episodes and I just felt it more fun that way. LoL Also I may have chapters between certain episodes during the time not shown in the show for the characters and my OC's to do other stuff. So yay for that.
Until next time... Tootles!
