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


"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, Johnny's arrows, and Kai'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 Karius had long since grown into adulthood and become a full-fledged Guardian under his tutelage. The silverette was currently attending college in the city, but lived at home with her little brother Akira to help look after him.

Although, with the way his youngest cousin grew up, he thought Akira didn't need much looking after. He was eighteen now and in his 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 Malakai, Danny, and Johnny.

Akira was best friends with one of his teammates in particular. His full name was Jonathan Jones; the little twin brother of Casey Jones who preferred being called Jon or Johnny. But as a Guardian (in training), he was better known as Trickshot.

Aki and his family (minus Haruhi who stayed at the Utrom Facility) lived in the building across the street from Johnny's, and they practically grew up together since Aki's family moved to New York from Japan so many years ago with his older brother Karius and their parents; all three of whom were Guardians, at least until Aki's mom died in the line of duty.

His full name was Akira Murakami, and he was quite often mistaken for a beautiful girl , as he took after his cousin Haruhi in the ambiguous yet naturally gorgeous department.

He was more feminine looking than his older brother Karius. But unlike Jon, he wasn't mocked about how girly looking he was, unless by some stupid girls who were just envious of Aki's looks.

Haruhi was their designated sensei, but when he was on missions, another Guardian would substitute for him. It was usually Karius, as Haru trusted him to do as he would when he wasn't around.

Aki had a curtain of rich brown hair that fell to his shoulders, and curled inward to frame his delicate features; with bangs that hung above a pair of vibrant deep blue-green almond shaped eyes.

He was the shortest of his four teammates, but like those in his family, and even Johnny, Aki had a lean, sylphlike form that most women in general would've killed for, and had a creamy complexion.

Most people often told Aki how much he looked like his 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 Jon, so they were a bit tied in the group as being the two youngest; even if they were eighteen now, as well as the girliest looking boys in their group, with Danny and Kai tying for third.

Akira was about an inch shorter than Jon though, but he was no less lethal in battle, and definitely earned the name Livewire for more reasons than one. He was almost as smart as Jon; though he had his own areas that he specialized in.

And he had the ability to manipulate electricity and even a somewhat limited amount of technopathy via his electrical talents, but was still learning about it; just as the rest of his team were learning about their powers.

Like his cousin, he had figure out how to use it to better control his weapon to make it more useful and deadly. His silvery koto strings were housed in within the sub-space of his symbiotic suit rather than bells, and could be accessed via the spot over the pulse point of his wrists when his suit was on or when it formed over them.

And although he was the youngest, Akira was chosen as the leader of the group as he was the most mature and responsible of their misfit lot. After finding out that he and Jon shared the fact that they were both mutants, their friendship only grew stronger.

Now Johnny earned the name Trickshot due to his skill with arrows and the bow which his suit formed, and partially to do with how he had the ability to charge objects (such as his arrows) with kinetic energy and use them in different ways as projectile weapons.

Jon's ability to tap kinetic energy also grants him 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 his inventing and their fighting.

The reason being because his body constantly generated bio-kinetic energy, and so was perfectly constructed for constant motion. This, and the fact that he was athletic from all the time he spent training and playing sports like hockey with his brother, gave him an added edge of being proficient in acrobatics; a must have for any ninja.

He also had the ability to create static, because of the charged potential energy always in his body, that help to shield his mind from detection and intrusion by those with telepathic abilities like Karius. Though he is still working on trying to master this so as to have an advantage against the Kraang.

Jon may be the twin brother of Casey Jones, but as Casey was older than him by several minutes, Jon was considered the "little" brother. They were by no means identical in appearance, for his hair was long, wavy and flowed passed his slender shoulders; with somewhat fluffy bangs that were parted slightly more to the right. And it was all held back by a simple yellow hair tie; allowing two long bangs to hang down on either side of his face.

Somehow it was such an odd shade of red that it ended up looking somewhat crimson, but it oddly suited him, and matched well with his striking green eyes and fair complexion. And unlike his brother, who liked the punkish grungy look with the colorful spatterings of paint all on his clothes, Jon preferred to dress a bit more cleanly.

And Casey sometimes teased his "classy style" by saying stuff like "No wonder no one can tell we're twins, or heck, even related." But the redet found this more comical than insulting, as his bro did kinda have a point, no matter how down to earth the science enthusiast was.

Jon wasn't vain by any means; he just didn't like looking or feeling gross. Johnny liked to look good and feel good. However, he still enjoyed dressing in comfy stuff, he did like to wear attire that was more on the stylish side sometimes.

Essentially, he looked like a hotter, more feminine, younger version of his big brother with a lean, svelte build from all the training he did; looking gracefully and attractively thin with long, slender legs, despite being two or three inches shorter than Casey.

Due to his the fact that he and Aki looked sexier and prettier than most of the girls at the school they went to, he tended to get picked on quite a bit by the asshats he went to school with because he had a lot of redeeming features besides looks.

Such as how he was a mad genius, had the "Jones Family" charm (as Casey referred to it as) and athleticism that more than made up for what he lacked in the masculinity department. Even if he was sometimes a bit self-conscious about it, Jon 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 Kai) 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 Kai, 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. Like a few of his teammates, 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.

Malakai Milton, also called Kai but better known as Savage, may have been the last member of their team, but he was far from the least. Kai was the oldest of the team; beating Danny by only a year, but he was the third shortest of the team of four, as Akira was the shortest and Danny was the tallest.

Kai could be rather cocky at times, but to anyone who really knew him like his team did, he was actually a pretty chill young man. Well… for an assassin with psychotic tendencies anyways.

The ninja had shaggy pumpkin orange-blonde hair that was in a usually unkempt yet devilish style. His hair varied in length from short to almost the length of his jaw line for the most part, and spiking out in an untamed fashion that suited him quite well considering.

He had a pair of bright, fiery topaz eyes which only seemed to add to his naturally handsome yet feral appearance. It often led to people underestimating him; at least until he flashed a toothy grin and they noticed the two pointy fang-like canines he proudly sported.

Like his teammates, he had an attractive build that made most women and men alike swoon, from rigorous training. Though he was quite possibly the manliest looking of his three friends, with his sinewy physique and wild good looks. Savage was pretty cool despite his occasionally insane and violent tendencies in a fight.

Kai had the uncanny ability of Animal Mimicry; where he could take on the traits of animals to enhance himself physically or otherwise, like giving himself the keen eyesight of an eagle, the speed of a cheetah, or the nigh-indestructibility of a cockroach.

In Danny's opinion, he 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 his closest friend Daniel had to describe him, he'd probably say he was like the Deadpool of their group; although Dan would have to admit Kai 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 Kai's sanity. At least that's how a comic lover like Danny would describe him 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.

Johnny's ninja garb seemed to melt away underneath of his clothing, to reveal that he 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. His dress style wasn't too far off from his big brothers, as he loved being comfortable, but se preferred his clothing looking cleaner than Casey's.

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.

Akira dressed in a rather feminine way as Haruhi did, since he too looked rather out of place in male attire for the most part. He had on simple dark blue form fitting jeans, and a creamy pale yellow blouse, with and brown shoes that resembled Mary Jane shoes, but were much comfier. He dressed a bit more casually than his Karius; who had a slight Goth flare to the style he prefer to wear.

Malakai sported a black T-shirt , khaki cargo pants, a light hooded grey jacket with a white fluffy fake rabbit fur ruffle around the trim, black boots and red fingerless leather gloves. Around his neck was a dark red choker that resembled a dog collar, and he had a silver studded earring in his left ear.

"Ugh… man I'm tired…" Johnny sighed as he stretched his arms; arching his back slightly as he left with his teammates. "At least you get to go home. Danny and I have to clock into work soon." Malakai told the redhead with a chiding tone. The oranget found it silly the other saw any reason to complain.

"Knowing Jon-chan, he'll probably head to the library or go scavenging." Akira said with that light Asian accent and cool tone of his and a knowing smirk. "Ooo! Seriously?! Hey, Johnny, 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 Jon had actually found, so he told him he would, and he thanked the redet with a happily hopeful mood that he 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." Jonathan teased mirthfully.

"I mean, who thinks eyes of a bat when they were trying to think eyes of a cat?!" The redhead clutched his stomach as he laughed even harder; remembering how Kai 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 he had intended.

Kai scowled and crossed his arms over his toned chest. "Yeah, well at least I didn't blow up part of the simulation room like you did." The orange-blonde 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?!" He argued; obviously feeling bad for having caused damage he hadn't meant to.

Haruhi sensei had been rather cross with Jon and made him run the simulation three more times without using his 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." Kai only laughed when Jon stuck his tongue out at him; using the symbiote so that it was a long, serpentine one that caused Akira to make a face, while Danny held his hand to his mouth to stifle a snicker.

The older teens smirk softened to a smile and he gave their groups tech-spert a friendly pat on the back that almost knocked the redet over. Johnny 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.

Kai 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. Johnny walked Akira to the restaurant his grandfather Mr. Murakami ran called 24/7.

Like their other two friends, Akira worked part-time with his blind grandfather after school and training. He worked as a waiter, and helped him out however he could. Aki even wore a traditional style outfit as his grandpa did.

It was a white kimono and a blue hakama with white tobi socks, tan sandals and a red sash around the waist. Aki knew his 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, he wanted to make sure he was safe. The brunet especially wasn't very fond of their leader; a man known as Xever, who occasionally showed up with them…

Johnny went in and stayed long enough to say hello to Aki's grandfather, before leaving his friend to work, as Mr. Murakami was a cool and very nice guy and Jon got along rather well with Aki's family.

But his brunet friend was right in saying he'd probably go to the library. Before he left to go off with his friend, and Casey went to the rink to get in some practice as he did most days, he asked for the brainiacs help with a project he had to do for school.

So Jon figured he'd get some books to help him out. Johnny wanted him to do some of the reading and work himself, as was their agreement for when he 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 his little bros methods but so much. Jon ended up there for about a half hour before leaving.

He had a few more hours to kill before he knew his brother would realize what time it was and head home. Casey usually loved practicing at the rink until the freakin' place started closing down; which was pretty late.

Jon 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 he liked to frequent. So he went and spent some time there.

Though it was slim pickings, as it could be sometimes, the redet was a bit pleased to have found a handful of small parts he could work with and an action figure from what looked like some Power Ranger looking cartoon.

That night, as Johnny turned the corner down the dimly lit sidewalk with his hands in the pockets of his jacket and some freshly scavenged goodies in his backpack while on his way home, the young Jones had no idea his 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 (Karius) will be in his own fic as I have mentioned in my other ROTG(it) fic. Not sure if he'll be male or female yet. Might do one of each like I did with this one. 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!
