Hey all you readers out there, looking at my traffic graph I can see no one has read chapter 12 and chapters 15 to 18, and how are you understanding the story if you're not reading those chapters? This is why I feel a need to try to state what everybody's species is because I'm not sure if everyone is reading the chapters that state what animals the characters are, to those of you who read the last two chapters I think you should read chapters 12 through 18...It contains the Riddler banging a Mutant Sheep….
Both Edward Nygma and Jonathan Crane clung to a Non-Human during the somewhat harrowing jump through the hole in the floor, Jonathan clung to Marzipan, and Edward Nygma clung to Eleanor.
When they landed, Edward saw everyone was looking at him still clinging to the large Mutant Sheep.
"Thank you, Eleanor." Edward said quickly pulling away, "It's...It's been a while since I've done any kind of fancy jumping..."
The Turtles and Humanimals could see right away something was with the two of them that hadn't been before they turned to Eleanor's Ward Triguena the Mutant Margay shrugged and simply said "Lo que sea"
As everyone began to orient themselves looking around the Great Cavern, many of them had never been here before and were struck by the strange and ethereal beauty of this place
Morgan, who had been silent since coming out of prison...Thought she should at least try to apologize to Donatello for all she did to him. Slowly the Snake-Girl slitered toward the Purple Banded Turtle, she never intended to touch him as she began to speak
"Donatello..."
Don whirled around his face blazing with hatred "Don't touch me!" He hissed "Don't even come near me! If you get anywhere near again I swear I'll kill you!"
Morgan saw that was a sign that the best thing she could do for him was to stay as far away from him as possible, so she simply fell silent again and slithered off to begin the process of locating the path to find Trotter and by finding his path they would find Doctor Rat.
Morgan's flickered her forked tongue in and out, to locate not merely a scent, but essence, at the same time she took her three fingered hands and curling the middle fingers, formed the shape of a dowsing rod in her hands, as an ancient means of finding what one seeks.
After a few moments of concentration, she knew what path to follow
"That tunnel." She said "The third tunnel to the left of the tunnel straight in front of us."
Thus began a long tedious climb as the particular path took them along the edge of a cliff, the path was broad enough for everyone to walk on, but no one was eager to get too close to the edge, they could see on the opposite side of the ravine was a another cave wall with many other cavern tunnels leading to who-knows-where…
During this long tedious climb no one felt like chatting very much, both Edward Nygma and Jonathan Crane mused internally about how they never thought they would be spelunking but than again a lot of things they never thought would happen have happened...Eventually Nygma yawned "I'm beginning to feel tired...Is there anywhere we can camp for the night?"
"Yes." Jonathan said "Because unlike some of us, we haven't had the luxury of being able to sleep all day, or in one case for three whole days..."
"Wait!" Came Morgan's voice again "A sense a change in the essence's path!" She flickered her tongue again. She looked to the cave wall across from them.
"In one of those tunnels!" She said She looked down at the slope into the ravine, saw she could slither down the slope without too much trouble and did so. No one followed her down.
She flickered her tongue again, and saw one tunnel that was had its interior laced with what looked like beautiful ivy, with blossoms like creeper flowers.
"Yes!" She exclaimed "This is the one that leads to where Trotter and the Rat are!"
But as she said that, she heard some very strange sounds, like squelching sounds like when you're walking through slime, and there was a scent as well, a foul hideous scent like rotting corpses...Or just rot in general.
And that's when she saw them, they were dark brown in color and oozed along the ground leaving drops of themselves wherever they went...They had no eyes, no ears, no noses, but she could see they open what seemed like mouths...She covered her mouth because she felt otherwise she would vomit these were living piles of filth!
Despite her previous wish to die, these filthy beings repulsed her on such a primal level, she did not want to be touched by one of these filthy things for she knew, just knew that if one drop of them touched her, it would be a hideous painful death. She slithered away as fast as she could but the Filth Piles quickly pursued.
Don, Raph and Mikey saw this happening, and the three of them grinned with schadenfreude, they hoped she would die, only Leo didn't smile, sure he didn't like Morgan but...This didn't seem good...How would they get past the Slime Monsters if she couldn't?
Bill however was horrified and the Bull-Boy roared at the Turtles "YOU IDIOTS!" Bill grabbed Marzipan and together the Bull-Boy and Cat-Girl slid down the slope to rescue Morgan from the Slimes.
Marzipan quickly said "HADOUKEN!" And shot a fireball at the slimes, however being on fire didn't seem to destroy the slimes in anyway, but it did cause them their attention to the Bull and Cat, Bill quickly went around the slimes, grabbed Morgan and started climbing back up the slope with Marzipan, fortunately the Slimes bodies rendered them unable to climb the steep slope, so they simply returned to the tunnel from whence they came.
Bill turned furiously at the Turtle "Look." He said, bits of steam coming from his bovine nostrils "I know you still hate Morgan, but we still kind of NEED her..."
Before Bill could continue any further Hank exclaimed "Hey! Someone's in my backpack!"
Muffled but familiar sounding voices came from Hank's backpack "Aw man!" We're all out of crackers! Want some Bologna Zeb?"
"Caesar, you know I'm an herbivore."
Hank took off his Backpack and turned it upside down, causing Five Cubs to spill out…
Remember to read chapters 12 through 18.
