Disclaimer: I don't own the Ninja turtles, how dare you suggest it!! ^_^
This is a story would have been up sooner, but the computer killed it. Okay? Okay.
"Wow, chrome." Arista commented as she looked around the room that the authors were now stuck in. It looked like someone had dropped in it out of a sci-fi movie and left it there. Cages lined the walls and vials and test tubes sat on tables and tall metal shelves that were bolted to the walls. In the corner of the room, a metal horse stall had been placed.
"Great, now instead of being tiger food, now we get to be part of a mad scientist's plot!" shouted Raphaella angrily. Everyone seemed to agree.
"I'm sorry about scaring the tigers y'all, I didn't mean to!" Daydream apologized.
Mily grinned and ruffled the younger girl's hair. "Don't worry, we can't stay angry at you long anyway." she told Dream.
"Who says?" Hexadecimal muttered, angry at Dream for being such an idiot.
Daydream gave her a pouting look. "I said I was sorry!" she cried in an exasperated tone. "What more do you want me ta do?!" Daydream asked. Hex grinned evilly, which made Dream regret her words. Danceingfae sighed and decided to take over.
"Okay, we need a way out! We HAVE to get out of here, so start looking for an exit. In pairs of two please so no one dies or touches anything. Got it?" Dance ordered like she was the commander of a small army; the tone of voice down perfectly. The girls nodded with opened mouths. "Good." Dance said with a grin, feeling she could get used to the 'leader' aspect. "Go then!" The girls scurried away in pairs of two, muttering 'sooor-ry!' and 'didn't know.' under their breath.
After a while the authors decided that the search was futile and they were never going to find the door. The group congregated in a secluded corner of the room, where there were not as many pointy objects, and discussed what to do.
"Getting out of here would be a good idea!" Kiki stated sarcastically.
"Yeah, THAT would be nice." TygerOfTheWynd retorted.
"Hey, no fighting!" Zip demanded, glaring at both girls who sighed and replied with, "Okay."
Raphaella (I'll start using your new name k?) wandered away from the group, over to some of the cages. Tmnt_luver followed her friend.
"What are you doing?" she asked calmly. Raphaella pointed into one of the cages.
"Look." She ordered. Luver rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Why?"
Raph grabbed her friend by the arm and drug her over to the cage. "Look! Isn't it cute!?" Raph exclaimed happily, grinning from ear to ear. Tmnt_luver looked into the cage to see what her friend was going on about. Sitting towards the back of the cage was a small creature, no bigger than the palm of your hand. It kept changing colors rapidly. On a whim of the moment, Raphaella unlocked the cage door and stuck her hand in. Tmnt_luver gave her an are-you-crazy?!-look. In a few minutes, the little animal thing climbed out into Raph's out-stretched hand. Raphaella smiled blissfully at Luver who rolled her eyes again.
"Weirdo." Tmnt_luver stated.
Raph grinned. "And proud of it!"
The two girls, plus Raph's new little pet, walked back over to the others. Of course, the creature rode on Raph's hand, not walked. Everyone cooed and awed over the inquisitive thing who just looked from one girl to the other.
"Where'd you find it Raph?" Nightmare asked happily, scratching the thing (I don't know what else to call it!) behind it's humongous ears. Raphaella pointed over to the cages. "There."
"Oh, that's where I found my wolf." Tyger said nonchalantly.
"WHAT?!" everyone shouted.
"My wolf!" Tyger said again like that was going to help.
"Explain more." TMNT-Punker demanded and the rest of the authors seemed to agree.
"Oh-kay." Tyger began. "I was looking for the exit with Arista when I saw this bundle of blue fur right? Well, it was actually blue and white, but that's not really important. Um, but looked so cute and I couldn't help it!! I HAD to pet it!!" Tyger confessed quickly and then smiled weakly. "It was really soft!" she added as an after-thought. Everyone groaned.
"Well, THAT makes it better!" Hexadecimal said sarcastically.
"Okay, did anyone ELSE touch any animal in this place?" asked Ziptango, looking at everyone accusingly.
"Egor no touch, Kiki said not to!" Egor said happily and looked at Kiki adoringly. Kiki smiled and then spoke.
"But I did, I didn't think it would matter!" Kiki cried and told them about a cage that had turtles in it. "I HAD to pet THEM!! They reminded me so much of the guys!!!" she explained, or tried to explain. After her, Arista and Danceingfae also confessed to committing the same act with the same bunch of turtles.
"They were soooooooo cute!!!" they wailed. Daydream grinned.
"Dance, how could you?! You're supposed to be the oldest!!!" she accused bogusly.
Danceingfae hung her head. "I knoooow." Dance pouted. Dream gave her a strange look.
"You do know I'm just joking, right?" Dream asked hopefully, giving Dance puppy-dog eyes.
Dance smiled. "Yes, I do." She replied.
TMNT-Punker sighed and raised her hand. "I touched a unicorn."
"WHAT?!" was the resounding yell, confusion everywhere.
"A unicorn?" asked Mily, staring at Punker. TMNT-Punker shuffled her feet uncomfortably.
"Um, that's what it looks like anyway." She stated.
"Can we see it?" tmnt_luver asked.
"Or is it invisible?" Tyger put in softly and sarcastically.
"Hush Tyger." Zip muttered. TMNT-Punker glared at Tyger and then nodded.
"Yeah, it's in the back." Punker said and led the group to the stall. All twelve authors leaned over the side of the stall.
"It's real." Whispered Dream, staring at the black unicorn in the horse stall. Nightmare stuck out her tongue.
"Unicorn, ugh. ZIM HATES UNICORNS!! EVIL NASTY UNICORNS!!!" Night yelled and began to run around in circles. Everyone stared at her.
"Oh-kay, Night is officially weird." Hex stated in a knowing tone.
"DUH!" was the unison answer. The writers watched with amusement as Nightmare ran around in circles and then fell to the ground, too dizzy to get jump.
"Spinny shiny room." Night commented with a dazed look. A sudden yell caught everyone's attention.
"EGOR CLIMB HIGH!!!!" Egor shouted as he climbed up on the metal shelf with a suspicious green liquid sitting on top.
"Come down here now!" Kiki demanded, stamping her foot for emphasis. Egor shook his head.
"Nope, Egor CLIMB!" he repeated and kept climbing. Once at the top, he grinned and held his arms up above his head triumphantly. "I'M DA KING OF DA WOILD!!!" he shouted happily, quoting Titanic. The girls giggled and looked at Kiki who shrugged.
"He likes that movie for some reason." She answered the unspoken question. Egor, having fulfilled his lifelong dream, began to bounce up and down on top of the metal shelf.
"Egor so HAPPY!!" he screeched and jumped up and down harder. It's a big shelf, K? The authors exchanged looks of horror as, with a groan, the screws began to come undone from the wall.
"STOP EGOR!! QUIT BOUNCING!! NO JUMPING!! BAD EGOR BAD!! NOOOOO!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!! I'LL GIVE YA A LOLLIPOP IF YA STOP!! YOU ALREADY LICKED YOUR LOLLI!! SOOOO, HE WON'T CARE!!! EEWWWW!!! EGGOOORRR!!! THIS WILL NOT END WELL!!!!!" all the writers began yelling and running around like chickens with their heads cut off. (Sorry, Southern expression. ^_^) Finally, they all came together in a small circle and watched like a bunch of idiots as Egor bounced for the final time and the shelf and it's contents came crashing to the ground. (Did y'all know that the word 'shelf' contains the word 'ELF'?!?! Just thought I'd point that out! ^_^) The authors were drenched in a gooey green substance that they knew right off the bat.
"OH NO!! MUTAGEN!! I DON'T WANNA BE A MUTANT!! COOL, IS THIS LIKE A CANDID CAMERA VERSION OF SLIME TIME LIVE?!?!? OOOOHH, GAK!! WOULD YOU TWO IDIOTIC NUTCASES SHUT UP, THIS IS SERIOUS!!!! I AM THE SWAMP THING!! WOULD I GLOW IN THE DARK NOW CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE I COULD!!! I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE TO DO THAN BECOME A MUTANT!!! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!? MY HEAD HURTS FROM ALL THIS SENSELESS YELLING!!! MINE TWO, KNOCK IT OFF!!!!" once again everyone supplied their own views on what was going on. The green, thick liquid covered everyone. The authors, of course, were freaking out. (And why WOULDN'T they?! I sure would. Hey, I'm one of em.hehehe.)
Suddenly, a gas filled the room, coming from the air vent. This aroused suspicions that something was wrong. Duh.
"Don't breath it in." Danceingfae ordered and took in a deep breath. Daydream gave her a look.
"Ya think?" she said sarcastically.
"Hey Dance, you said don't breath, but you just took in like a MAJOR lungful!" Mily said in a smart manner.
"This reminds me of the scene in Star Wars where Qui-gon Jinn and The Hotness are sitting in the little room thingy and the smoke starts coming from the ventilation and The Hotness twirls his lightsaber in an oh-so-cute- and-perfect way!!" Ziptango rapidly told her friends who gave her a look.
"The Hotness?" asked TMNT-Punker, a look of confusion on her face. Zip grinned.
"Yeah, my name for Obi-wan Kenobi, The Hotness." She replied with a slight blush.
"Well, if Obi-wan's The Hotness, who's Donatello?" asked Hexadecimal with a sly grin.
"I could think of a few names for him . . ." tmnt_luver said with a side- wards grin.
"Um, girls, the room is filling with GAS!!" Arista informed everyone in an almost panicked, but really annoyed with everyone voice.
"We know, but there's nothing we can do about it now so we might as well talk." Tyger told her with a shrug. Arista rolled her eyes and waited for Zip to answer the question.
"We're wait-ting!" Mily sing-songed with a happy smile on her face.
"Um, Donny is The Coolness." Ziptango said with an embarrassed look. The gas was swirling around their feet in a cool swirly way.
"The Coolness?" giggled Raphaella and then she added. "Why?"
Ziptango sighed. "Donatello's cool, so he's the Coolness!" This set everyone into peals of laughter, but Zip didn't mind, at least it wasn't Leggie or Lego or Legs or Leggers or one of Dream's new names, Las-man. Hehehe.
"I wonder what this stuff does anyway." tmnt_lover asked, kicking at the gas with her foot.
"No idea, but it sure is taking awhile to do whatever it's supposed to do." Punker stated with a slightly annoyed air.
Egor looked at the goo-covered, green girls. "Egor sorry!" Egor apologized with a pouty look on his face.
The girls all smiled. "Oh it's okay Egor, this was bound to happen someday." Dance said, wringing some of the mutagen out of her hair, which was slowly shrinking, now up to her shoulders. Everyone was going through changes: Arista was turning a pale greenish color and her fingers were morphing into each other to create three; Kiki's nose was disappearing rapidly and she could feel her toes transforming like Arista's fingers; Mily seemed to be growing orange fur, and her hair parted as the tips of ears poked through; TMNT-Punker's feet were bursting out of her shoes and were morphing into circular hoofs fringed with black hair; Nightmare was sprouting white feathers while staring at her hands changing color; Ziptango was starting to grow a tail and felt her ears start to droop; Hex was covered in black stripes while a thickish coat of fur grew all over; Daydream's ears were moving up her head and growing pointed (to her utter happiness) and her nose was moving into her face; Tyger was beginning to turn blue and white with the fur, and her own set of ears pushed through her hair; tmnt_lover seemed to be changing into half-horse half-human as her lower body elongated and another pair of legs were suddenly standing her up; and Raphaella was starting to change colors rapidly, ranging from a fearful yellow to a happy purple.
"This happens all the time." Dance continued. Egor nodded. Suddenly the gas rushed up from the ground and into everyone's faces. The writers hit the ground in a matter of seconds.
"Oh, it's knock-out gas." Lover muttered as she blacked out.
When they awoke, the girls let out frightened yells except for maybe Hex and Tyger, they seem to be pretty stable in times of panic. They were now locked in the cages that they had seen lining the wall.
"What's going on?!" asked Daydream in a terrified tone.
"Chill out, Day." Hexadecimal muttered from the cage beside her. The fifteen-year-old peered through the bars of her cage and at the now much- changed nineteen-year-old. She was taller, completely covered in white fur that was black striped. Her face was that of a white tiger's and a striped tail was curling around her left leg. Claws were extended as Hex gripped the bars of her cage with a wild rage. White ears flicked back and forth occasionally in an annoyed pattern.
"Wow, very furry Hex." Dream exclaimed with a touch of laughter.
Hex glared at her with dark eyes. "Hey, look at yourself, kitty-cat." Daydream then noticed that her arms were covered in a thick white and orange striped fur. Her shoes were extremely tight and when she took them off, white paws were there instead of white feet. "Ears." Hexadecimal put in, motioning to her own ears that now crowned the sides of her head, poking through her black and white hair. Dream reached up and patted the top of her ears that ended in points. She grinned happily at Hex who rolled her eyes. A orange and white tail was wrapped around her waist like a belt. Daydream tugged on a strand of white hair at the front of her face. "The rest of it's orange." Hex informed her.
"Even the back?" Dream asked, wondering if all she had was two white streaks in the front.
Hex nodded. "Yeah, only those two spots are white." Daydream grinned and then frowned.
"So I'm a orange and white striped kitten?" Dream asked, slightly confused. Hexadecimal nodded again.
"Yeah." "And you're an endangered!" Dream burst out with a laugh.
Hex scowled and brandished her claws. "Quiet, kitty."
"Hey," a voice called from across the room, "that's MY name!"
The two girls turned to see who was talking. A orange tabby cat girl was sitting Indian style in a cage across from Hex, a smile lighting up her face. A light layer of fur covered her and her eyes had no white patches. Pointed ears seemed to grow out of her blonde hair. Her slender orange tail was wrapped lightly around her waist. She held up pink-painted claws that made both Hex and Dream laugh.
"Hey Mily." They both said simultaneously.
"Hey look, it's Cat-woman!" exclaimed another familiar voice from the cage beside of Hex's. A green arm was laying outside of the cage, treading air with it's three fingers lazily. A brownish-yellow shell leaned against the back of the cage. A two-toed foot tapped to the time of silent music. "It's me, Danceingfae." Dance stated as she looked at the confused looks on everyone's faces.
"YAY, I'm Cat-woman!!!" Mily shrieked happily. Danceingfae rolled her eyes. Another green hand stuck itself outside of a cage a few cages down from Dance and waved.
"Arista here." A voice called in a sad-happy tone. Her hand was a slightly darker green than Danceingfae's. Her dark brown eyes looked at out at everyone. "Fine mess we've gotten ourselves in this time!" she commented. Across from her, a blue and white head nodded.
"Yeah, but we'll get out of it, we always do." TygerOfTheWynd said with no doubt in her voice. White horns emerged from the top of her head. Her arms were white up to the elbows and then blue from there on. Her legs were the same way, white up to the knees and blue from there on. A bushy, white- tipped tail was laid out behind her, slowly moving back and forth. Blue ears hid behind the white horns.
"Great, I've always liked the color green." Kiki stated from the cage beside Mily. She wrapped three fingers around the bars of her cage. She was also a turtle mutant, but darker than both Dance and Arista.
A short bark from the cage beside Tyger made everyone jump.
"Hehe, sorry dudettes, had to try it!" Ziptango exclaimed with a smile on her black lips. She was coated in thick bushy white fur. Her nose and lips were black. Flopping, pointed ears stuck out from the side of her head. A long tail covered in fur laid behind her, moving slowly back and forth.
"A dog Zip?" asked Mily.
Ziptango nodded. "Yeah, I have a dog at home named Puddles and I guess he was the last animal I touched." Zip explained with a grin.
"Oh." Everyone said in unison.
"Hey, I have four legs!!" a happy voice sounded through the room. In the stall, tmnt_lover stamped one of her hooves. She was completely human until you reached her waist where her body switched into that of a brown horse's, namely the one a the petting zoo.
"A centaur, cool!" Tyger put in with a smile. Tmnt_lover grinned.
"YAY!!" A new voice joined the crowd. "Whoopee, it's Mr.Ed!" and then in a few minutes, "Just kidding, Lover." A white feathered arm stuck itself out of a cage and began to flap.
"I CAN FLY!!" Nightmare screeched happily. Instead of a mouth, Night now sported an orange beak and huge white wings/arms. Her legs had gone an orange color and looked almost scaly. Everyone burst into peals of giggles and uncontained laughter.
"BWAHAHAHA!!" Daydream roared and pounded her paws on the floor of her cage.
"Nice, the chicken-girl shall save us!" TMNT-Punker's voice exclaimed, but it sounded different almost musical. She peered out of her cage with stormy blue eyes and pushed a lock of long, wavy, black hair out of her face. Her ears were also largely pointed, but were not on the top of her head like the feline authors. Her feet were now silver hooves. Punker was also sporting a tail, but not like the other, her tail was a horse looking tail. The most astonishing feature that TMN-Punker now possessed was the slender silver horn that jutted out from the middle of her forehead.
"Unicorn!! EVIL!!" Nightmare wailed and hid behind her white wings. Feathers littered her cage floor.
"This is so cool, but it's not good, but it's still really cool!" Raphaella was muttering to herself. She was turning rapidly from black to purple to crimson to green, back to black and repeated the process over and over again, sometimes throwing in odd colors. Long, hair-like ears fell down her back. She now had a snout instead of a nose. She still had her blue sneakers on. Raph grinned. "I look like the mutant I was holding!"
"Which would actually be an A'mire alien, my girl." A foreign voice joined the girls. Everyone turned their heads to look at the stranger. He was dressed in a white lab coat, white pants and shockingly shiny black shoes. He had thinning, light brown hair that was peppered with gray. His light brown eyes took in the reactions of the girls.
"Where's Egor?!" Kiki demanded with a extra layer of anger. The presumed scientist looked over at her.
"Your little friend?" he asked in a superior tone. Kiki glared at him and clenched her three-fingered hands.
"Yes, Egor, where is he?" The scientist nodded at her.
"In good hands, my pet, in good hands." He informed Kiki who glared at him with silent rage.
Daydream shifted uncomfortably. "Um, do ya have a name, dude?" she asked, looking at him with blue eyes that were not hers. The man turned his gaze from Kiki to the smaller girl who stared at him.
"Yes, child, my name is Regan." He replied with a touch of malice. Dream nodded silently. He addressed the entire group now. "You now belong to this lab, The Center. You are property and subject to experiment as long as you are here. Is this clear?" he told the fanfiction writers who stared at him with amazement, horror, and pure hatred.
"We do NOT belong to you!!!" Hexadecimal roared at the top of her lungs, grasping the bars of her cage tightly, making her claws extend and pierce her hands. The girls all agreed with hisses, yells, shouts, stamps, growls, and a eccentric squawk from Nightmare.
"Or, maybe we could sell most of you to wealthy people who would treat you as pets." His grin made the girls skin crawl. "Collars around your pretty necks, chained to a bed or a wall twenty-four hours a day seven days a week, unless they weakened you enough that you'd play with their children and come at their call. Become a house pet, submissive to the calls and orders of your masters. Is that what you want, girls?" His voice sounded threatening. The girls shook their heads, but still gazed at him it almost uncontrollable fury.
"If I wasn't in here, I'd peck your eyes out!" snapped Nightmare, crossing her feathery arms. Regan smiled.
"Yes, you would, wouldn't you?" he asked in a manner that made the girls want to be as far away from him as possible.
Tyger growled at him. "Leave us alone and let us go. Maybe we won't kill you." She ordered in a commanding tone.
Regan shook his head. "This is something that I cannot do, I am sorry." He replied.
"You liar! You want to keep us here, you're not sorry!!" Mily screamed, the end of the sorry sounding like a cat's yowl when someone steps on it's tail. Regan turned to her with a scowl on his face.
"Keep your mouth shut or I will have it surgically removed." He snarled, making Mily back away from the front of her cage and hiss loudly.
"Don't you dare threaten her you sleazebag!" Arista ordered angrily, rattling her cage.
"Yeah, stay away from her!" tmnt_lover shouted from the stall. Regan looked around as the girls yelled at him to leave Mily alone.
"So, a close-knit group, are you?" he snapped.
"YES!!" came the simultaneous roar.
"Well, we'll take care of that!" he snapped, turned on his heel, and stomped out of the room. The authors turned to look at one another.
"So, any suggestions?" Dance asked.
YAY!!!!!! FINISHED!!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!! *grins* MORE YAY!! Elle: About time! You really should teach your computer a lesson so it won't be evil in the future! *glares at her own evil computer*
This is a story would have been up sooner, but the computer killed it. Okay? Okay.
"Wow, chrome." Arista commented as she looked around the room that the authors were now stuck in. It looked like someone had dropped in it out of a sci-fi movie and left it there. Cages lined the walls and vials and test tubes sat on tables and tall metal shelves that were bolted to the walls. In the corner of the room, a metal horse stall had been placed.
"Great, now instead of being tiger food, now we get to be part of a mad scientist's plot!" shouted Raphaella angrily. Everyone seemed to agree.
"I'm sorry about scaring the tigers y'all, I didn't mean to!" Daydream apologized.
Mily grinned and ruffled the younger girl's hair. "Don't worry, we can't stay angry at you long anyway." she told Dream.
"Who says?" Hexadecimal muttered, angry at Dream for being such an idiot.
Daydream gave her a pouting look. "I said I was sorry!" she cried in an exasperated tone. "What more do you want me ta do?!" Daydream asked. Hex grinned evilly, which made Dream regret her words. Danceingfae sighed and decided to take over.
"Okay, we need a way out! We HAVE to get out of here, so start looking for an exit. In pairs of two please so no one dies or touches anything. Got it?" Dance ordered like she was the commander of a small army; the tone of voice down perfectly. The girls nodded with opened mouths. "Good." Dance said with a grin, feeling she could get used to the 'leader' aspect. "Go then!" The girls scurried away in pairs of two, muttering 'sooor-ry!' and 'didn't know.' under their breath.

Raphaella (I'll start using your new name k?) wandered away from the group, over to some of the cages. Tmnt_luver followed her friend.
"What are you doing?" she asked calmly. Raphaella pointed into one of the cages.
"Look." She ordered. Luver rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Why?"
Raph grabbed her friend by the arm and drug her over to the cage. "Look! Isn't it cute!?" Raph exclaimed happily, grinning from ear to ear. Tmnt_luver looked into the cage to see what her friend was going on about. Sitting towards the back of the cage was a small creature, no bigger than the palm of your hand.

"Spinny shiny room." Night commented with a dazed look. A sudden yell caught everyone's attention.
"EGOR CLIMB HIGH!!!!" Egor shouted as he climbed up on the metal shelf with a suspicious green liquid sitting on top.

"OH NO!! MUTAGEN!! I DON'T WANNA BE A MUTANT!! COOL, IS THIS LIKE A CANDID CAMERA VERSION OF SLIME TIME LIVE?!?!? OOOOHH, GAK!! WOULD YOU TWO IDIOTIC NUTCASES SHUT UP, THIS IS SERIOUS!!!! I AM THE SWAMP THING!! WOULD I GLOW IN THE DARK NOW CAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE I COULD!!! I HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE TO DO THAN BECOME A MUTANT!!! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?

"Um, girls, the room is filling with GAS!!" Arista informed everyone in an almost panicked, but really annoyed with everyone voice.
"We know, but there's nothing we can do about it now so we might as well talk." Tyger told her with a shrug. Arista rolled her eyes and waited for Zip to answer the question.
"We're wait-ting!" Mily sing-songed with a happy smile on her face.
"Um, Donny is The Coolness." Ziptango said with an embarrassed look. The gas was swirling around their feet in a cool swirly way.
"The Coolness?" giggled Raphaella and then she added. "Why?"
Ziptango sighed. "Donatello's cool, so he's the Coolness!" This set everyone into peals of laughter, but Zip didn't mind, at least it wasn't Leggie or Lego or Legs or Leggers or one of Dream's new names, Las-man. Hehehe.
"I wonder what this stuff does anyway." tmnt_lover asked, kicking at the gas with her foot.
"No idea, but it sure is taking awhile to do whatever it's supposed to do." Punker stated with a slightly annoyed air.
Egor looked at the goo-covered, green girls. "Egor sorry!" Egor apologized with a pouty look on his face.
The girls all smiled. "Oh it's okay Egor, this was bound to happen someday." Dance said, wringing some of the mutagen out of her hair, which was slowly shrinking, now up to her shoulders. Everyone was going through changes: Arista was turning a pale greenish color and her fingers were morphing into each other to create three; Kiki's nose was disappearing rapidly and she could feel her toes transforming like Arista's fingers; Mily seemed to be growing orange fur, and her hair parted as the tips of ears poked through; TMNT-Punker's feet were bursting out of her shoes and were morphing into circular hoofs fringed with black hair; Nightmare was sprouting white feathers while staring at her hands changing color; Ziptango was starting to grow a tail and felt her ears start to droop; Hex was covered in black stripes while a thickish coat of fur grew all over; Daydream's ears were moving up her head and growing pointed (to her utter happiness) and her nose was moving into her face; Tyger was beginning to turn blue and white with the fur, and her own set of ears pushed through her hair; tmnt_lover seemed to be changing into half-horse half-human as her lower body elongated and another pair of legs were suddenly standing her up; and Raphaella was starting to change colors rapidly, ranging from a fearful yellow to a happy purple.
"This happens all the time." Dance continued. Egor nodded. Suddenly the gas rushed up from the ground and into everyone's faces. The writers hit the ground in a matter of seconds.
"Oh, it's knock-out gas." Lover muttered as she blacked out.
When they awoke, the girls let out frightened yells except for maybe Hex and Tyger, they seem to be pretty stable in times of panic. They were now locked in the cages that they had seen lining the wall.
"What's going on?!" asked Daydream in a terrified tone.
"Chill out, Day." Hexadecimal muttered from the cage beside her. The fifteen-year-old peered through the bars of her cage and at the now much- changed nineteen-year-old. She was taller, completely covered in white fur that was black striped. Her face was that of a white tiger's and a striped tail was curling around her left leg. Claws were extended as Hex gripped the bars of her cage with a wild rage. White ears flicked back and forth occasionally in an annoyed pattern.
"Wow, very furry Hex." Dream exclaimed with a touch of laughter.
Hex glared at her with dark eyes. "Hey, look at yourself, kitty-cat." Daydream then noticed that her arms were covered in a thick white and orange striped fur. Her shoes were extremely tight and when she took them off, white paws were there instead of white feet. "Ears." Hexadecimal put in, motioning to her own ears that now crowned the sides of her head, poking through her black and white hair. Dream reached up and patted the top of her ears that ended in points. She grinned happily at Hex who rolled her eyes. A orange and white tail was wrapped around her waist like a belt. Daydream tugged on a strand of white hair at the front of her face. "The rest of it's orange." Hex informed her.
"Even the back?" Dream asked, wondering if all she had was two white streaks in the front.
Hex nodded. "Yeah, only those two spots are white." Daydream grinned and then frowned.
"So I'm a orange and white striped kitten?" Dream asked, slightly confused. Hexadecimal nodded again.
"Yeah." "And you're an endangered!" Dream burst out with a laugh.
Hex scowled and brandished her claws. "Quiet, kitty."
"Hey," a voice called from across the room, "that's MY name!"
The two girls turned to see who was talking. A orange tabby cat girl was sitting Indian style in a cage across from Hex, a smile lighting up her face. A light layer of fur covered her and her eyes had no white patches. Pointed ears seemed to grow out of her blonde hair. Her slender orange tail was wrapped lightly around her waist. She held up pink-painted claws that made both Hex and Dream laugh.
"Hey Mily." They both said simultaneously.
"Hey look, it's Cat-woman!" exclaimed another familiar voice from the cage beside of Hex's. A green arm was laying outside of the cage, treading air with it's three fingers lazily. A brownish-yellow shell leaned against the back of the cage. A two-toed foot tapped to the time of silent music. "It's me, Danceingfae." Dance stated as she looked at the confused looks on everyone's faces.
"YAY, I'm Cat-woman!!!" Mily shrieked happily. Danceingfae rolled her eyes. Another green hand stuck itself outside of a cage a few cages down from Dance and waved.
"Arista here." A voice called in a sad-happy tone. Her hand was a slightly darker green than Danceingfae's. Her dark brown eyes looked at out at everyone. "Fine mess we've gotten ourselves in this time!" she commented. Across from her, a blue and white head nodded.
"Yeah, but we'll get out of it, we always do." TygerOfTheWynd said with no doubt in her voice. White horns emerged from the top of her head. Her arms were white up to the elbows and then blue from there on. Her legs were the same way, white up to the knees and blue from there on. A bushy, white- tipped tail was laid out behind her, slowly moving back and forth. Blue ears hid behind the white horns.
"Great, I've always liked the color green." Kiki stated from the cage beside Mily. She wrapped three fingers around the bars of her cage. She was also a turtle mutant, but darker than both Dance and Arista.
A short bark from the cage beside Tyger made everyone jump.
"Hehe, sorry dudettes, had to try it!" Ziptango exclaimed with a smile on her black lips. She was coated in thick bushy white fur. Her nose and lips were black. Flopping, pointed ears stuck out from the side of her head. A long tail covered in fur laid behind her, moving slowly back and forth.
"A dog Zip?" asked Mily.
Ziptango nodded. "Yeah, I have a dog at home named Puddles and I guess he was the last animal I touched." Zip explained with a grin.
"Oh." Everyone said in unison.
"Hey, I have four legs!!" a happy voice sounded through the room. In the stall, tmnt_lover stamped one of her hooves. She was completely human until you reached her waist where her body switched into that of a brown horse's, namely the one a the petting zoo.
"A centaur, cool!" Tyger put in with a smile. Tmnt_lover grinned.
"YAY!!" A new voice joined the crowd. "Whoopee, it's Mr.Ed!" and then in a few minutes, "Just kidding, Lover." A white feathered arm stuck itself out of a cage and began to flap.
"I CAN FLY!!" Nightmare screeched happily. Instead of a mouth, Night now sported an orange beak and huge white wings/arms. Her legs had gone an orange color and looked almost scaly. Everyone burst into peals of giggles and uncontained laughter.
"BWAHAHAHA!!" Daydream roared and pounded her paws on the floor of her cage.
"Nice, the chicken-girl shall save us!" TMNT-Punker's voice exclaimed, but it sounded different almost musical. She peered out of her cage with stormy blue eyes and pushed a lock of long, wavy, black hair out of her face. Her ears were also largely pointed, but were not on the top of her head like the feline authors. Her feet were now silver hooves. Punker was also sporting a tail, but not like the other, her tail was a horse looking tail. The most astonishing feature that TMN-Punker now possessed was the slender silver horn that jutted out from the middle of her forehead.
"Unicorn!! EVIL!!" Nightmare wailed and hid behind her white wings. Feathers littered her cage floor.
"This is so cool, but it's not good, but it's still really cool!" Raphaella was muttering to herself. She was turning rapidly from black to purple to crimson to green, back to black and repeated the process over and over again, sometimes throwing in odd colors. Long, hair-like ears fell down her back. She now had a snout instead of a nose. She still had her blue sneakers on. Raph grinned. "I look like the mutant I was holding!"
"Which would actually be an A'mire alien, my girl." A foreign voice joined the girls. Everyone turned their heads to look at the stranger. He was dressed in a white lab coat, white pants and shockingly shiny black shoes. He had thinning, light brown hair that was peppered with gray. His light brown eyes took in the reactions of the girls.
"Where's Egor?!" Kiki demanded with a extra layer of anger. The presumed scientist looked over at her.
"Your little friend?" he asked in a superior tone. Kiki glared at him and clenched her three-fingered hands.
"Yes, Egor, where is he?" The scientist nodded at her.
"In good hands, my pet, in good hands." He informed Kiki who glared at him with silent rage.
Daydream shifted uncomfortably. "Um, do ya have a name, dude?" she asked, looking at him with blue eyes that were not hers. The man turned his gaze from Kiki to the smaller girl who stared at him.
"Yes, child, my name is Regan." He replied with a touch of malice. Dream nodded silently. He addressed the entire group now. "You now belong to this lab, The Center. You are property and subject to experiment as long as you are here. Is this clear?" he told the fanfiction writers who stared at him with amazement, horror, and pure hatred.
"We do NOT belong to you!!!" Hexadecimal roared at the top of her lungs, grasping the bars of her cage tightly, making her claws extend and pierce her hands. The girls all agreed with hisses, yells, shouts, stamps, growls, and a eccentric squawk from Nightmare.
"Or, maybe we could sell most of you to wealthy people who would treat you as pets." His grin made the girls skin crawl. "Collars around your pretty necks, chained to a bed or a wall twenty-four hours a day seven days a week, unless they weakened you enough that you'd play with their children and come at their call. Become a house pet, submissive to the calls and orders of your masters. Is that what you want, girls?" His voice sounded threatening. The girls shook their heads, but still gazed at him it almost uncontrollable fury.
"If I wasn't in here, I'd peck your eyes out!" snapped Nightmare, crossing her feathery arms. Regan smiled.
"Yes, you would, wouldn't you?" he asked in a manner that made the girls want to be as far away from him as possible.
Tyger growled at him. "Leave us alone and let us go. Maybe we won't kill you." She ordered in a commanding tone.
Regan shook his head. "This is something that I cannot do, I am sorry." He replied.
"You liar! You want to keep us here, you're not sorry!!" Mily screamed, the end of the sorry sounding like a cat's yowl when someone steps on it's tail. Regan turned to her with a scowl on his face.
"Keep your mouth shut or I will have it surgically removed." He snarled, making Mily back away from the front of her cage and hiss loudly.
"Don't you dare threaten her you sleazebag!" Arista ordered angrily, rattling her cage.
"Yeah, stay away from her!" tmnt_lover shouted from the stall. Regan looked around as the girls yelled at him to leave Mily alone.
"So, a close-knit group, are you?" he snapped.
"YES!!" came the simultaneous roar.
"Well, we'll take care of that!" he snapped, turned on his heel, and stomped out of the room. The authors turned to look at one another.
"So, any suggestions?" Dance asked.
YAY!!!!!! FINISHED!!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!! *grins* MORE YAY!! Elle: About time! You really should teach your computer a lesson so it won't be evil in the future! *glares at her own evil computer*
