Mutants VS. Humans
By: TMNTlover4ever
Chapter 13: The End of the War
Disclaimer: Plot's mine. Sheri and Angel and some of the mutants are mine. The TMNT are not, however.
Intro: Michelangelo's POV:
Death...what a deal. Especially for Donnie. He looks broken down. I feel sorry for him. Poor guy. I've never really lost someone close to me and in a way Donnie hasn't either. Kitten and him weren't really close, but he does seem heartbroken. Kitten's promise...I wonder if Donnie is going to actually going to keep his promise...I guess we'll find out.
TMNT theme song
Don looked around and saw that everyone was asleep. He had to keep his promise. He would never forgive himself if he didn't. Don sneaked out of the Battle Shell and ran as fast as he could out in the streets of New York City. His first destination was the mutant's HQ. He had a plan and was hoping to God, it would work.
Donatello looked around and saw no mutants guarding it. Creepy...he knew he hadn't seen all of the mutants bodies at Central Park. He sighed quietly to himself.
Donnie walked into the mutant's HQ and snuck his way to Randal's office. He put a scroll on Randal's desk and got out and ran into the night's air again.
Randal walked into his office. Most of his mutant soldiers were dead. Some survived. Actually, more mutants survived than humans. He noticed the scroll on his desk and read it. This is what it said:
We the humans had decided to make a compromise with you mutants
if you accept, please come to Main Street in one hour
We do not wish to fight anymore, but to bring peace.
"Hmm..." He pondered.
Hawk walked in. "So we gonna do the usual raid tonight, boss?" He asked.
"Cancel the raid, Hawk. There's been a change in plans." He said. To be truthful, Randal was getting sick of fighting. And since the loss of most of his friends, he just wanted to be at peace again.
Donatello:
'That's phase one. Now, to get phase two to work, I've got to find those humans.' I thought to myself as I ran on the rooftops of older buildings. I was going to find them. I was going to bring peace to NYC. In the end, I did, but something like this is never that easy. I finally had found that leading mob. I saw them talking with mutants. They must be the M.A.M.S.
I remember jumping down from the rooftop in front of them and the leading mobster pointing his machine gun at me. Apparently, he remembered me from that big 'showdown' we had had a few days ago. To tell ya the truth, if felt like it had only been an hour ago more than a few days.
"What do you want, 'turtle?'" That man had said.
"I just wanted to bring you this." I had answered, tossing him the scroll. He caught it and read it, a grin appeared on his face.
"Finally decided to give up, did ya?" He asked.
"Yeah...that's it..." I mumbled. I didn't really care what he thought, just as long as peace was brought back to NYC.
"Fine, we'll meet up with ya then." He turned and started to walk off, but stopped and looked at me. "Don't be late." He added and then they left...and so did I.
Raphael:
"When I get my hands on that eggheaded brother of mine, I'm gonna!" I yelled throughout the knew Battle Shell.
"Raphael, calm down! You may wake up Leatherhead and Angel." Master Splinter said sternly.
I tried to calm down, but waking up to see your heartbroken bro gone, doesn't exactly make you calm. I had been the first to see him gone. I woke up for some reason. I don't remember why, but I did. I looked around to make sure everyone had been alright. To my surprise, Donnie was gone and I was mad.
"But where did he go?" I asked.
"It is possible he went to Kitten's grave." Sheri said as she rubbed sleep out of her eyes. She yawned.
"By the way, thanks for the wake up call, Raph." Mikey said, as he stretched.
"How can you think about me waking you up?" I asked angrily. "Donnie is gone and all you can think about is how much beauty sleep you get!" I yelled.
I felt something hard hit me in the back of the head. I turned to see Master Splinter waving his cane at me.
"I told you to calm down, Raphael! If Angel or Leatherhead awake from your yelling, I'm going to ground you." He said even more sternly.
I closed my mouth. I didn't want to be grounded and miss kicking Mikey's butt at video games nor miss my daily shows.
"Maybe we should look for him, just in case." Leo said.
"Look for who?" Donatello said as he entered the back of the Battle Shell.
"You, numbskull. Where the shell were you!" I asked. I kept my volume down, but the anger was still in there.
"Can I talk to you guys?" He asked. Clearly, he did something that he didn't want Sensei to know about. Anyway, Splinter nodded and us turtles and Sheri went out into the night and made sure we were a mile away from Splinter before we talked.
"Okay Donnie, spill." I said in a commanding voice.
"Yeah. What's with the running away?" Mikey asked.
"I was trying to keep my promise." Don said.
"Kitten's promise?" Leo asked.
"Yes. And well, I think I'm gonna need your guys's help." Don said.
"For what? You seemed you have already started your plan." I asked.
"I just need you guys to come with me while I do some negotiating," Don explained.
"Guard duty, basically." Sheri said crossing her arms.
"What are we guarding?" Mikey asked, stupidly.
"Me, genius." Donatello said.
Now Mikey crossed his arms. Even though, we gave him crap about not being the most sensible one, he wasn't stupid. He knows when he's been insulted.
"Hey, just because I am not the most sensible turtle, there's no reason to get sarcastic." Mikey said angrily. I was surprised. Mikey wasn't the type to get defensive about this stuff, most of the time, he just took it. Now I think 15 years of rage were going to come out.
'The icing on the cake...' I thought to myself.
Michelangelo:
"I didn't mean anything by it." Don said.
"Yeah. None of you ever mean anything by it!" I shouted. I wasn't going to get pushed around any longer. We were all the same age. Even if I haven't matured as fast as my brothers, we were all the same age and I wasn't going to let them think I was the youngest and the one to be picked on.
"I'm not stupid, Donnie! I know when I've been insulted and you know what?" I asked.
"What?" He asked blankly.
"I'm sick of it!" I threw my hands in the air.
"I'm sick of being picked on and sick of this stupid war and your stupid plans!" I yelled. I know when I've gone too far. And I think I just did. Donnie didn't like being called stupid and I knew it. Last time, when Raph called him a moron, Don had hit him so hard, he had been unconscious for 2 days!
Don was boiling, trying to keep his temper down. My instinct was to run and duck for cover, but I fought my instincts. Don actually cooled himself.
"Listen, in about 5 minutes, the humans and mutants will be meeting for a little 'chat.' I'm going to help negotiate everything so this war doesn't get worse. You guys are there to make sure that I don't get hurt." He said. You could tell he was holding his anger back, and doing it well.
"You can count me out." I said, walking to the other side of the rooftop.
"Come on, Mikey. You're just gonna sit there and watch me. It's not hard." Don said.
"I'm sick of taking orders and I'm sick of this. If your negotiation ends this war, great, but I'm not going to be part of it. You insulted me and I have not gotten an apology so I will not do as you say." I said crossing my arms in front of my plastron.
Yes, this was childish, but I didn't care. I was going to win this argument. No matter what he said or did. I told you I haven't matured. Well, not matured fully, anyway.
"Whatever. You don't have to be there, but I'm not going to apologize. You're just being over sensitive." Don said.
"Sensitive! If it's one thing I hate, it's being called sensitive!" I yelled.
"We got to go. It's going to start in 45 seconds." Don said.
"Stop being such a baby, and grow up." Don said and him, Raph, and Leo jumped off of the rooftop and toward the meeting place of the negotiation.
Sheri:
I had never had siblings before and living with the turtles have shown me that things are quite different when you have them. Anyway, I looked at the broken spirited Mikey, standing with his shell towards me and where his brothers once stood. I guess he noticed I was still there, because he started talking.
"I'm always getting picked on, but you would know, wouldn't you, Sheri?" He asked.
"Don't get me in the middle of this." I said blankly. It was enough that I was now caught up in a New York City war, I didn't want to get into the middle of a family war too.
"Well, anyway, I can't believe him. Does he expect me to forgive him for all those years he insulted me? Him, Raph, and Leo? They don't deserve it." He said.
"How many times have you insulted them?" I asked, curiously.
"They always knew I was joking." Mikey answered, hurtfully.
"Were you joking all the time?" I asked. He couldn't see me, but I crossed my arms and I think he got the message. He sighed.
"Just leave me alone." He mumbled.
Slowly this family seemed to be falling apart. Or maybe it was just me. Either way, I was sick of this crap. I hoped Donatello's plan worked to end this war. It was causing everyone a great deal of pain. Physically, mentally, and socially too. I flew off, without saying a word, trying to locate where the others were. I found them on Main Street and decided to watch from a nearby rooftop. I really didn't want to be down there right now. In fact, I didn't want to be near anyone right now.
Leonardo:
I stood in between Raph and Donnie as we saw the human mob and a group of mutants, with Randal in the lead, walk toward us.
"Okay turtle, we're here. Let's get this over with." Randal said gruffly. You could tell he was tired. I guess when you see what he saw on that battle field, it drains your happiness.
A news van parked about 10 yards away from us. Apparently, Donnie thought of everything. We needed the whole world to know that the war had ended.
"Okay in 5...4...3...2..." The camera man said.
"Hello this is Susan Bryant with the evening news. This evening I'm with residents of New York City who say they have an important announcement." She said and walked over to me.
"So what's this big announcement?" Susan asked as she shoved the microphone in my face.
"I'm not exactly the turtle to tell ya. Try my brother, Donnie." I said while pushing the mike to Donatello. He stood there calmly, but, as a ninja, noticed one sweat drop going down the side of my brother's face. He was getting stage fright, but I wasn't the turtle to save him, I got stage fright myself. Raph wouldn't help because he liked isolation and didn't like too many people around him.
Mikey was the only one who loved being in front of an audience. And he wasn't here to help.
"We've come here to announce that the mutants have given up and are gonna go back to livin' underground!" The leader of the mob exclaimed.
"That's not true!" Randal said. "We came here to negotiate and bring peace back to NYC!" He added.
Don was really starting to get nervous now.
"So, uhhgg...Donnie, was it? Are you the one who has called us to tape this 'peaceful' moment?" She asked.
"Actually, I did." Mikey lied as he came to his brother's aid.
"And who are you?"
"Name's Michelangelo." He said smoothly.
He was the only one of us that liked being in front of an audience. I smiled at this. Only Mike.
"Umm...excuse me..." Mikey said trying to butt into the human's and mutant's argument.
"Excuse me..." He said louder. They kept arguing.
"EXCUSE ME!" My brother shouted. I swear that people in China could hear him shout.
Somewhere in China:
A man had been taking a nap and woke up suddenly to a faint whisper in his hear. He remembered the words too. They were: "Excuse me..." The man whispered to himself softly. He shrugged to himself and went back to sleep.
Another man in China woke up and started yelling about how loud his neighbors were. He opened his window and shouted at his neighbors for making such a racket when actually they had been quiet the whole time.
New York City
Michelangelo:
The mutants and humans stopped as if they had been frozen.
"Okay, dudes and dudettes, don't ya want the fighting to stop?" I asked both the humans and mutants.
There was a chorus of 'yeahs' coming from my audience.
"Okay then. So you guys are gonna have to make a peaceful negotiation." I said crossing my arms.
"Don, you got any paper on you?" I asked.
"Yeah." Don took a piece of paper and a pen out of his ninja belt.
Outskirts of NYC:
Our President, George W. Bush, was sitting in his vacation house flipping through channels. He caught the live action coming from New York dealing with mutants, humans, and a negotiation.
He himself never had been against mutants, so it seemed to make that negotiation possible for mutants in other cities, perhaps he should be there. He walked out of the house after changing into his best suit. He and his guards walked out to the limo and drove to Main Street of NYC.
10 minutes later:
Sheri:
I looked down on the scene and had a smile form on my lips. Mikey had finally gotten each group calmed down and got them both to sign the papers, making it so mutants could finally live with humans in peace and harmony. In the distance, I heard a wolf howl. I love wolves and what I did next surprised me. I howled into the night as loud and as long as I could.
I heard more howls that were coming from the streets and I saw that my four best friends were howling right along with me. I blushed and giggled, but I howled along right after I giggled. I was enjoying being free.
Leonardo:
I was very surprised to hear Sheri howling after the papers were signed. This was apparently something she had been looking forward to for a long time. What happened next was what really surprised me and I could tell it surprised my brothers just as much.
A black limo parked in front of us.
The President walked out and actually signed the papers as well! He announced to the world that mutants were finally free in not just New York, but all over the United States.
I would give you more detail, but dinner is almost ready and it's Japanese cuisine and I'm hungry.
Anyway, after the war, mutants had the same rights as humans. Raph never got his wish of moving to the surface, but I guess it's because we've gotten used to this place and it's our home.
LH lived with us for awhile, and then went out and got a job working with scientists to create new inventions. With his job, he managed to get an apartment and now he lives on his own.
Donnie had gotten over the whole Kitten ordeal, but he still visits her grave once a month at the least to pay his respects. Sometimes one of us goes with him, but most of the time, he goes alone.
Angel lives with us now and always will. Her father hasn't seemed too upset because we have received no contact from him, wanting his daughter back. Sheri has been treating her like her own daughter and it finally gives Sheri a reason to not be so isolated like she used to be. Master Splinter wants Sheri to be Angel's Sensei and teach her ninjitsu, under his supervision, of course. Sheri accepted, no surprise there.
Now, that we have the same rights as humans, we go to a public high school. Well, all of us except Angel who is in elementary school, but she's not even a half mile away from us. A lot of the kids there are still prejudice against mutants. We have all the same classes together. We don't have too many friends. Sheri, a guy named Peter Harkins, and another dude named Nathan Baldwin.
Since Sheri hangs out with us, she doesn't have any girlfriends to hang out with, just us guys, but she doesn't mind. At least I think she doesn't. She does, however, have the most popular guy at school looking at her, but because Raphael and I glare at him a lot, he hasn't talked to her yet.
I've already found out the subject I'm going to write about for my Recent History report.
This is the first sentence:
It was 8am in New York City, Sheri and I were sitting in our living room, watching the morning news...
The end...(To this story anyway)
A/N: Okay, I hoped you guys liked my ending. Yeah, I know it wasn't full of detail, but I did that on purpose to create this awesome ending. If y'all go back to the first chapter, you'll see that the first sentence is similar to Leo's first sentence on his report. The difference is this last sentence is written in Leo's view. Well, what do you think? R and R!
We've come to the conclusion of the most recent video game tournament. This time the winner is...Master Splinter? Oh well...
Everyone-claps and whistles-
Mikey: Not bad, not bad at all. I liked the ending a lot.
Don: Yes, it reminds me of a book I read once.
Me: I got it from that book: The Outsiders
Leo: That's a good book.
Me: And this is the conclusion. I will be working on my next story and have it posted up ASAP. Well, later y'all.
Title for my next fanfic: "Motherhood" or "Young Again"
Summary for my next fanfic: When Master Splinter leaves for a vacation, Sheri must 'mother'Angel and four turtles who mysteriously become 8 years old again! Chaos is sure to happen.
