Hellooooo everyone! Wellllcooommmmeee tooooo CHAPTER 3! :D According to Cocoaflower this was a pain to edit. :( sorry... :3 Any way... I have written a sequel to this series (more like in the process of) and have posted one chapter already! If you haven't checked it out already. There are some things in the sequel that will not be explained in this series and vice-versa. There is a reason for this! It is because the sequel is in Raph's perspective and he perceives things differently than Lisa (same the other way around as well). Raph's story is significantly more violent and well, rude (obviously :3). So if you get offended easily, I don't suggest reading it! :3 Enjoy, and please please please please please please review. \(O^O)/ Disclaimer; I do not own the turtles. I have a stuffy though. I call him Spike. :3
"Could you tell us your story first… Please?" Wrath grimaces.
"Yes. Thank you for asking." I smile at him briefly. Maybe that should help loosen things up a bit. He shifts a bit then looks at Splinter.
"Much better, my son. Now Mona-Lisa, please start from the beginning." Splinter requests. Actually, it sounds more like a demand. It's a weird statement.
"Okay. So I got off the bus at the final stop; the river." Wait, they probably wouldn't understand where that came from. Oops. Oh well. I'm still trying to figure this out just as much as they are.
"What were ya going to the river for?" Mikey asks innocently. Good, I needed a cover-up.
"A walk." That should work for now. I'll probably talk to April later.
"Why were ya going for a walk?" Wow, he's just like my sister. I wonder if they are related somehow.
"Umm… because I was having a tough day and I needed a break."
"Wanna talk about it?" He's so nosy.
"…"
"Mikey, let her continue her story please. Without interruptions." Leo glares at him. Mikey shrinks down in his seat next to me.
"Thank you." I mouth. He smirks.
"After I got off the bus, I started to walk along the esplanade." I begin to explain.
"What's an esplanade?" Mikey asks scratching his head.
"It's a long road for people to walk along, usually next to a beach in a town." Donnie explains.
"I was looking over the river and to the other side of the city when suddenly; I bumped into a strange man."
"What did he look like?" Wrath demanded.
"She'll tell us that in a moment. Will everyone please stop interrupting?!" April demanded.
"It really hurt; it felt like he was made of metal. He dropped a glow lamp and the glass cracked. It was eerie shades of green, blue and I think there were some specks of pink."
"Mutagen ... Oops!" Mikey covers his mouth while staring at Splinter.
"I went to pick it up but he pushed me out of the way. As a result, he tripped on the lamp, making the crack bigger. This time I actually picked it up. I walked over to hand it to him but I also tripped. But then, I fell off the path. The glass shattered and the content of the lamp spilled all over my arms and legs. It burned like acid and I felt like my limbs where going to fall off. I probably screamed just before I blacked out. The pain was really intense." I shudder. My arms and legs are aching just at the thought of it.
Everyone stares at me.
"I know, right? I'm pretty clumsy."
"Hmm… What were the Kraang doing by the river?" Leo mumbles. Who are the Kraang?
"It would seem that she is correct. It was her clumsiness what allowed her mutation. However, there are other factors that should have not been existent." Splinter rubs his goatee thoughtfully.
"Well, now that we know some Kraang are on the edge of town, we can smash their heads, right?" Wrath grins evilly at Leo. Impulsive, isn't he?
"No, not yet. As always, we need find out their purpose first." Leo states.
"We already know their purpose Leo, to mutate everything on this Earth!" Wrath puts his finger on Leo's chest. Oh wait, I remember, plastron. Wait… WHAT?!
"WHAT?!" I exclaim.
Everyone stares at me. Again.
"Oh right, you wouldn't know." Wrath backs away from Leo.
"Hold up! Back up a few minutes ago [last chapter]! Is that what Wrath meant by 'couldn't protect'? That these 'Kraang' are mutating everyone?" I look intently at Wrath.
"Raph."
"Sorry." No, not really. I think I'll keep calling him that. Forever.
"Haha. Good one Lisa." Mikey proceeds to laugh maniacally. I guess he can't handle the tense atmosphere.
"Pfft… we should call him that from now on. What do you think, April?" Donnie smirks.
"It suits ya man." Casey pokes Wrath with one of his hockey sticks.
"It does not!" Wrath grabs the hockey stick and glares at him.
"That's enough, guys; we need to explain this stuff to Lisa!" April glares at everyone.
"Hmm… why don't you do that, April, and everyone else can go check out this new 'Kraang Plot'. How does that sound Leonardo?" Splinter advises.
"Sounds like a plan, Master Splinter." Leo smiles at the giant rat.
"Boo- Ya! It's robot smashing time!" Casey and Mikey exclaim.
"No, it's not! This is an interrogation mission only! Donnie, can you start up the Shell-Raiser?"
"Already on it." Donnie jumps over the couch.
"Raph, Casey, Mikey! Go to the Shell-Raiser! Don't cause any problems for Don!" Leo scolds.
"Aww…" Mikey slumps his shoulders and continues to walk with a pout.
"We'll be back as soon as we can Master Splinter." Leo bows then, leaves.
"Good luck my sons. April, I will be in the dojo if you are in need of assistance." Splinter walks away leaving me and April on the couch.
"So, how much have you figured out? About this whole situation and stuff." April looks at me with a glimmer in her eyes that I can't really understand. Amusement, maybe?
"Alright, I'm still processing this as I talk, but, I'm guessing that the glow lamp was not an ordinary glow lamp."
"Correct."
"And what did Mikey call it? Mu-something?"
"Mutagen." She smirks.
"Yea, that and that was the stuff that mutated me right?"
"Yup."
"I was probably mutated as I fell in to the river, and I'm thinking the river swept me into the abandon sewer."
"Possibly. What else do you know?"
"The tall rat is called 'Splinter' and he has some sort of relation to the turtles and the turtles are also related somehow."
"You're right again. Splinter is their foster father, and the turtles are brothers. How did you know?"
"Splinter keeps calling them his 'sons'." I mimic his facial expression and pretend to stroke an invisible goatee.
"He does say that a lot." She giggles.
"I have no idea how you and Casey are involved with them though. Or why everyone has weapons and there is all this talk of 'fighting' and 'interrogation'."
"That's because the turtles are ninjas. Splinter is their sensei or teacher. He was a professional ninja before he was mutated."
"Ninjas?! But aren't they, you know, turtles?"
"Mutant turtles. Mutant, human-turtle hybrids."
"I see. Splinter 'was' a professional?"
"Yea. Now, he's even better though. The story, of how that is, is a bit more complicated."
"I see."
"You had a good idea of how the Kraang work, what else do you think?"
"So, that hard-as-rock man is a 'Kraang'. The 'Kraang' have made something called mutagen. The mutagen has properties that alters animal and human (probably plant too) DNA that creates 'mutants'. The 'Kraang' for whatever reason want to mutate the whole earth. That's all I got."
"Yep. You've got the gist of it. There, however, is one thing you don't know; the Kraang are aliens from another dimension. They look like pink, squishy, brain squids. They walk around in robot bodies, and disguise themselves as humans. They all look the same though."
"That explains why he felt like metal."
"I hope it does." April smiled.
"Now, what about the 'mutate-every-living-thing' project?"
"They want to turn earth into a place where the whole Kraang population can live."
"Stereotypical alien invasion plot?"
"Pretty much."
"How many mutants are there?"
"I'm not entirely sure. In New York, there's around 20 or more known mutants. Who knows about the rest of the planet though? Or other dimensions."
"Wow."
"Yea." She looks around.
"Do you know what time it is?" She asks.
"No. My watch broke from water damage. I wish I knew."
"Give it to Donnie. He'd fix it for you."
"Donnie?"
"Yea. He built the Shell-Raiser too."
"Shell-Raiser?"
"You know; the big subway car with wheels?"
"He built that?" I don't believe it. To build something like that, it would take years of schooling in physics, mechanics, engineering and metal work. There is no way a teenager (even if he was a mutant), could build such a thing.
"Yup. He's a sheer genius in just about everything." She smiles, leaning back in her chair.
"Wow. I'll ask him to tutor me in physics."
"Oh, that's right, you're in advanced math and physics classes."
"Or was at any rate." I frown.
"Was?"
"Yea. For reasons other than being a mutant."
"No way, what happened?"
"Well…!"
*SKREECH* Ding*
"WE'RE BACK!" Mikey yells leaping over the barricade of pizza boxes and other objects.
"All are accounted for except for Casey, and Donnie." Leo said as he calmly walked towards me and April.
"Why? What happened to Casey and Donnie?" April asks, slowly standing up.
"Oh, nothing. We just dared them to be study partners." Leo smirked.
"Yea, so now Casey's gonna be all math-ed up and ready for tomorrow!" Mikey sits down next to me. Again.
"Good." April sits down.
"Not only that, but we've found out some more info about the Kraang." Wrath adds in a rough tone.
The END! TILL NEXT WEEK! :3
