The turtles were curious on what Master Splinter was doing or saying to B.D. in his room. They weren't even sure if he was an ally or a foe, well...Leo trusted him to a point but was it wise? Leonardo heard crying and almost burst in but was met by a silent aura of 'NO'. So he went to train instead on a kata from a scroll Donnie had found for him.
It wasn't until later when their Sensei called them together for a meeting, if one could call it that.
"My sons...I have been given an opportunity to speak to the ninja tribunal on future and past events. I will leave at sunrise tomorrow, remember what I have taught you."
"What about 'the Bloody Demon' Sensei? Is he going with you..?" Leonardo asked.
The aged rat sighed, "My sons...it is difficult to explain but it is up to you." Master Splinter looked all of them in the eyes before continuing, "Leonardo, as the leader you will be in charge and be held responsible for what happens when I leave."
"Wait, is he staying here?!" Donatello yelped, glaring at Mikey who pinched him.
"He's staying here? AWESOME!" Michelangelo wooped while doing a small victory dance.
"But Master Splinter he can't stay here! We don't even know him, so why should we?!" Raphael said angerly.
Master Splinter motioned them to quiet down by taping his cane on the floor.
"I never said he would stay here. That is up to all of you to decide, because there are things that even I cannot teach you. Whatever you decide as a team and as brothers be wise, careful and follow the ways of the ninja, remember everything I have taught you, include it to your battles of experience."
Pausing, the rat master raised his hand then lowered it. From above, the Bloody Demon landed next to him with everything covered, nothing showed. What happened next surprised the turtles even more, Master Splinter removed B.D's blood covered hood...
...revealing a battered mutant turtle. The Bloody Demon had scars all over his pale, sickly, lemon-lime green skin, some were open wounds, bruises on his cheeks, his eyes so dark they almost looked black; like they had seen in war movies. He appeared much older than all of them but he sounded just the opposite.
"Hey, guess what? I was created to kill you, all of you, with your combined DNA in order to destroy you all because you four got in the way of Bishop's plans. Just thought I should let you know...is that what you guys wanted to hear?" B.D. said spontaneously with a wry look, after getting tired of being stared at.
Master Splinter gave him a hard look which made B.D. put his hood back on in fear. Turning back to his sons he gave a slight smile at the sight of them:
Leonardo had a 'not amused' look on his face with his hands twitching towards his swords.
Raphael had his Sais out already and was twirling them, glaring at B.D.
Donatello couldn't seem to find an expression to show, meaning he was nervous and curious at the same time.
Michelangelo took it as a joke so he was just smiling away, "That's not how introductions work dude. My name's Michelangelo but call me Mikey the awesome one and that's Radical Raph, Lunatic Leo and Dangerous Donnie!"
"I guess it is nice to meet you Dangerous Donnie, Radical Raph, Lunatic Leo and Mikey the awesome one. I have traveled all over the world but have never heard names like those before..." B.D. replied as he bowed respectively to each one.
"The name's Raphael, got it smart guy? Don't listen to shell-for-brains the idiot." the now angry turtle said, but only after he hit Mikey behind the head. Twice.
"Oww! Raph that hurt!" Mikey groaned rubbing his head.
"My name is Donatello or Donnie and thank you for saving our lives." Donatello said gratefully but cautious of his movements.
"I am Leonardo, I too am grateful you helped us when you did. Thank you...but how do you know Bishop?" Leonardo asked, unsure of what to do with the stranger.
"I met him once in South Africa, then Asia, and here in America. He thought I was an Alien who ate people but that was K.O.S. and he did not eat them, he killed them. Bishop tried to catch me but...it did not work out for him so he left me alone once he heard about you during the first alien invasion." B.D. replied casually.
"How old are ya?" Raphael asked suddenly, catching B.D. off guard.
"Well...I-I am not sure..." He stuttered, backing away from the intense gaze of the red masked brother.
"How were you mutated and what's yer real name?" Raphael growled, questioning again.
"Raph, those are personal questions!" Donnie said.
"...aliens wanted a test subject to see if they could create intelligence in an organic...some of these scars were from them. I was not born a turtle, this body was a mistake...that is why I was called Demon. The Bloody part came after I landed on this planet." B.D. replied softly.
Everyone except Master Splinter was surprised and it showed. After a time of silence the Bloody Demon sighed and started to walk towards the exit.
"I had only come to help your brother take you to safety and now that I have done so, I will leave." he said but before he could do so a hand on each wrist pulled him back.
"At least let me take care of your wounds before you leave or they might get infected!" Donatello said quickly.
"Yeah! Plus you need to eat something before you go! Don't leave yet!" Mikey whined with his big eyes sparkling.
"Since yer not leaving yet take off the hood." Raph ordered, which surprised Leo.
"Leo, can he stay? Please?" Mikey begged, pulling B.D. closer to him like he was a lost puppy.
"Is everyone ok with this first?" the leader asked.
"YES!" yelled the young orange masked turtle excitedly.
"It couldn't hurt for awhile, he did save our lives." Don replied.
"You have my permission my Son." Master Splinter said.
Leo turned to his immediate younger brother with a questioning glance, surely he would have a problem with it..?
"I don't care." was all the red masked turtle said.
"Alright, you can stay if you want to Bloody Demon but that name..." Leonardo trailed off as B.D. removed his hood.
"He will use my Master's name...he will be called Yoshi, if he would like to use it of course." Master Splinter said, studying Yoshi's face.
"...is that alright? If I use that name?" B.D. asked, watching the rat's head nod. B.D. smiled a little bit and quietly said,
"Ok...for both."
