TMNT/Labyrinth Crossover
Note: All the goblins of the film are now my demon characters. ~
Both turtles look up at the high wall, which was patched in moss and stalking vines. The stone was a sandy color Then looked down and at each other. There was no opening in the wall.
"Okay . . . soooo . . . How d'we get in?" Leo asked quietly, more to himself.
Donnie was examining the wall, but looked up, the same time as Leo, when the noise of someone humming reached their ears. Not noticing it before, they saw a small square pond cut into the sand, with a few dry, dead weeds hanging from the depths. Next to the pond, with its back to them, was a small figure. It seemed to be peeing in the pond.
"Hey," Leo called, turning his body level with his head direction, and taking a step forward.
The figure quickly did up its small pants and turned to face them. It was a humanoid creature, with the face of a sort of bat. Its skin was black and it was stout. Apart form the pants, it wore a sleeveless jacket over a bare black chest. Its big ears flopped about as it turned around.
"Oh, er . . . Excuse me . . . Hey, who are you?" It had a high squeaky voice and spoke through a good set of sharp teeth.
"Oh, never mind that, but, um, could you help us?" Leo asked, taking another few step forward towards the creature.
As he spoke the creature turned around and picked something off the floor. It was a fly squatter. He walked over to the wall and started to batter the few flies that hung there. Even though there weren't that many, they sure were big.
"Help you with what?" It said after a second of silence that followed Leo's question.
"Well, er . . . We need to get through the Labyrinth," Donnie spoke up. He and Leo followed the creature as it moved along the wall, gleefully slapping every fly it could, utting "Ha!" as it whacked them.
"Get through the Labyrinth? You must be mad. Who are you?"
"Er, I'm Leo . . . and this is Donnie. Can you help us?"
"I'm Koppel, and help you with what?"
"To get through the Labyrinth." Donnie said, watching the small Kopple hobble away while they followed.
" You're mad. I can't help you. Don't like that place. You first need to get IN the Labyrinth if you're to solve it though."
Yes! But can you help us?" Leo said loudly, with an air of impatience.
"Help with what?"
"Ugh! It's useless talking to you!" Leo threw up his hands and turned away.
Donnie moved forward and bent his back to the creature's level. "Can you show us the way into the Labyrinth?" He spoke clearly.
Koppel stopped and turned around. "Ah, now that's a better question! I know the way in, but I don't want to take you through it."
"Just show us the way in, please." Donnie said, trying to keep his tone free of impatience.
Koppel put the fly squatter down, and walked in-between Leo and Donnie to the place they had just passed on the wall. They followed.
"Here's the door!" Kopple opened both his hands out to a pair of big wooden doors, which certainly weren't there a minute ago.
Donnie looked at Leo, frowning. They looked back again as Koppel clapped his hands and the doors opened, noisily.
"Happy Labyrinth solving!" Koppel watched them walk slowly through the doors. They were in a long lane of bumpy stonewalls on either side that stretched as far as they could see. There was only two ways to go. The left, or the right; and they both looked exactly the same.
"Are you sure you want to go on?" Koppel skipped beside them, sounding chirpy.
"We have to," Leo said, squinting down the passage to his right.
"Um. Well, good luck. You'll need it." Koppel walked back through the doors, waved his hands and the doors closed with a loud bang. Both Leo and Donnie jumped, looked at each other, then faced separate paths.
"Which way?" Leo asked, looking down the left one now.
"Right."
"What makes you so sure?"
"Mikey always said, when he was playing on his games, that if you want the right direction, go right!"
Leo groaned, but he started to walk down the right passageway with Donnie. The walls were stone, and odd things grew on them. Things Leo and Donnie didn't take a second glance at. They walked for a few minutes in silence, but stopped at the same time and stared.
"It just goes on and on. There's no turnings - no openings anywhere!" Leo said. He slumped against the wall and slid down it into a sitting position; his shell made a rough noise against the stone.
Donnie narrowed his eyes in thought . . . Maybe there was. He stared at the wall in front of him. Then he realized. 'Um, clever.'
"Leo, there IS an opening."
Leo looked up to where his brother was pointing at a solid wall directly in front of him. He frowned.
"Donnie, there's nothing but a wall there."
Donnie smiled. "No, look." He walked up to the wall and passed straight through it. Leo could still see him, but then Donnie hid half his body behind the edge of the wall he thought was solid, showing Leo that he was in another passage way. There WAS a passageway - it was just hidden!
Leo stood up, smiling. "Way to go, Don! Let's get going. Which way? Right again?"
"Yeah."
They went down the right passage way and carried on walking. Now the scenery was changing and the stonewalls were replaced by sandy walls, the floor was sand, and there were turns and passages everywhere.
Leo stared wide-eyed. Where the hell were they meant to go now? Donnie chose all the turns now, so Leo followed without any objectives.
"Okay, to make sure we don't keep going and ending up in the same place, we'll leave marks in the sand." Donnie told Leo, who nodded. Don bent down and drew a big arrow in the sand, deep enough so that the stone underneath showed. He stood back up and walked in its direction. They disappeared round a corner.
A second later, a flat little worm creature dug itself out of the sand and flicked sand back over the arrow.

In her castle far away, in her throne room, Navaura held up a small, crystal ball and watched the two turtles turn this way and that through her maze; completely unaware that their arrows were being covered back up as soon as they were made. She smiled evilly and lowered the crystal to look at her two captives.
"Looks like your two brothers are going round in circles," she snickered. "They've already lost two of their precious hours."
Across from where she sat in her throne, there was a shallow circular hole in the floor, big enough for ten people to stand in; but at the minute it only held two turtles, trapped in by a blue, transparent shield which surrounded them and sealed at the floor.
"Let us outta here, you witch!" Raph insulted, banging his fists on the blue shield, and glaring at Navaura.
She smiled. "Demoness, actually. You should know that."
"What do you want with us?" Mikey frowned at her, hands pressed against the shield.
"Don't blame me for any of this. You should blame your brother, Leonardo."
Raph frowned and stopped banging." Why?"
Navaura smiled and bet forwards in her chair. "Because he asked for me to take you away . . ."
"No he did not you lying witch!" Mikey spat, defending his brother.
"Demoness," Navaura corrected with a sharper tone. "And yes he did. Think about it: You were getting on his nerves so much. He's only out to find you because, well, he IS the perfect son. The leader. Can't be a leader if he wishes away two of his brothers now, can he? What will Master Splinter say?"
Raph growled; fists clenched. He knew how much Leo wanted them to shut it sometimes, but he would never actually want them gone . . . Would he?
Navaura could sense both turtles' uncertainty. "Don't hate me. I only did what he asked. I only took you away from him, like he wished." She smiled triumphantly. Now she had them to the point where they didn't know what to believe, it would get better from here on.
