Far, far away, on a mountain, Leo was climbing it and clutching his gloveless hand close to his plastron. 'I... I can't go back home. They'll just see me for the monster I am. Sorry, April." He stopped for a second and looked around. "If this is going to be my new home, then I should make myself more comfortable." Leo took a deep breath and started to let his magic flow out through his ungloved hand. Slowly, he let his ice come out more and more. "This feels amazing!"
Leo looked at his gloved hand and made a small smile. "Well, now that they know, guess I don't need this glove anymore." He took off his glove and threw it in the air. He made more ice come out from his hands and he gained more and more confidence as he did. 'I wonder...' Using his ice magic, he made Mikey the Snowturtle. 'This is beautiful!' Leo smiled at the beauty of his ice. He started to walk closer to the small canyon, "I wonder what else I can do."
Since he knew that he could make a snowturtle just by thinking about it, Leo thought about it then he could make a staircase. He threw out his hands and a small staircase came up. He carefully put a foot on the staircase and all the frost surrounding the stairs disappeared and a staircase made of ice was make. "I'm free from everyone! Everything!"
Feeling more confident then he ever has in his life, he ran and slammed his foot on the ground and a floor of ice in the shape of a snowflake was made. "This will be my new home, now I just need to make some adjustments." He looked around with a smile, planning out ideas for himself. He bit his bottom lip in excitement as he brought his arms up slowly. The snowflake rose, stable supports under it and walls starting to form.
He smiled, putting a green-blue tint into the snowflake base on the ground, then made another layer of ice cover it and spread to the walls which formed a beautiful ceiling. A chandelier started forming on the ceiling. A concentrated frown formed on his face, and he immediately decided. "I'm never going back because now the past is in the past." He told himself then he took off his crown and threw it across the room.
'Since this is my new home, I'm going to need to wear something more my style.' Using his ice magic, he transformed his suit went to something more comfortable, a light blue shirt and a nice set of dark blue slacks. He started to walk toward the door that led to a pavilion he'd made. "This storm is pretty crazy... but the cold never bothered me anyway." With a smile plastered on his face, he turned around and let the doors slammed shut behind him.
Riding on her horse, April sighed as she tried calling her brother's name again. "Leo! Leo!" She continued her journey for hours, her only warmth her sleeveless dress and thin shawl. "Leo, it's me, April! Your sister who didn't mean to make you freeze the summer! I'm sorry," She shivered, "It's all my fault. I'm sorry." She looked around, then at her horse, who was all the way up to his legs in snow. "Of course, none of it would have happened if he had told me about it…" She muttered to herself annoyed, then frowned ruefully. She gasped in surprise as snow fell off a tree onto her and her horse. She was thrown into the snow and her shawl fell over her head as she shuttered. When she got the shawl off, she saw her horse running away.
"No, no, no!" She called, to no avail, he was already gone. She shivered and gathering her bearings. "O-Okay…" She tried to get a grip on the tree she was under to hoist herself up, only to get another load of snow dumped onto her. She groaned.
April panted as she lifted up her dress and walked miserably through the thick snow. It was very difficult sijnce the snow went all the way to her thighs. "Snow. It just had to be snow. H-He couldn't have tropical magic that covered the fjords with white sand and warm…" As she wrapped her shawl around herself, she looked over at smoke coming out of a chimney. "Fire!" She exclaimed happily chuckling. She then yelped as she fell forward down the hill she stood on, her shawl got caught in a tree branch as she landed in a still-flowing creek. She kept her hands up out of the water to keep them from getting wet, as well, and slowly lifted herself out of the water. "Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold…" she repeated to herself as she walked towards the smoke.
April walked towards the smoke and by the time she got there, her dress was completely frozen and she had to hold her arms out a little to keep from getting frostbite. She walked to the stairs, having to make an effort to move her legs up the stairs. She banged on the sign above her. "Wandering Murakami's Trading Post!" Snow fell off a smaller sign. "Ooh! And sauna!"
She opened the door and walked in, gasping as the wind pushed the door back closed. "Kon'nichiwa," A voice said from the counter and April turned towards it. A big man stood there with black glasses on. He had on a white outfit and had gray hair, and a kind smile. 'I wonder if he is blind?' April asked herself but didn't ask since it seemed like a rude question.
"Big summer blowout. Half off swimming suits, clogs, and a sun balm of my own invention." He held up a bottle. April blinked. "Oh. Great. For now, how about boots? Winter boots… And dresses?" Murakami continued to smile then said, "That would be in the winter department." April looked over and there was a lonely icepick, rope, a pair of boots, and a winter outfit. "Oh." She slowly started to walk towards them. She asked him, breaking the silence, "So, I was just wondering. Has another person, I don't know, the king, Leonardo, perhaps, passed through here?" She grabbed the outfit and boots then walked to the counter.
"The only one crazy enough to be out in this storm is you, dear," Murakami said after a second, chuckling lightly as April put the items on the counter. The door opened, and a tall, lean figure in a snow-covered suit, a mask covering the bottom half of his face, and a purple mask tied around his head. He panted and looked around with brick-red eyes. April studied him then looked at the weird shape on his back. 'Is that... a turtle shell?'
"You and this hito (1). Kon'nichiwa! Big summer blowout!" The figure approached her, and April hummed nonchalantly and leaned on the counter. He muttered something into the mask covering his mouth, and April blinked at him. "Huh?" He leaned in, and April leaned away a bit nerveously. "Behind you," He said. April blinked again, then gasped in realization and moved out of the way of the counter. "Oh. Sorry."
The mysterious traveller grabbed a medium-sized pizza pie and put it on the counter, and went to the winter section. "Quite a storm in July, yes?" Murakami asked the new arrival. "Where could it be coming from?" The figure picked up a pickaxe and rope and went back towards the counter. "The North Mountain." "North Mountain…" April repeated lightly to herself. 'I wonder...'
The figure put his stuff on the counter, and Murakami smiled, feeling each item with his thumb to know what it was and what the price was. 'So he is blind.' "That will be 40," He finally told the traveller after a few minutes. "40!? No, 10!" The traveller immediately retorted. "Oh, no, that's not good. See, this is from the winter stock, where supply and demand have a big problem."
The figure rolled his eyes and told him, "You wanna talk about supply and demand problem? I sell ice for a living." April looked out at his sleigh, which had a ton of ice blocks on it. "Oh, that's a rough business to be in right now," She said idly, then recoiled as the figure looked at her disdainfully. "Ahem. That's unfortunate."
"Still 40," Murakami said, almost sadly. "But I will throw in a visit to Murakami's sauna!" He gestured to the door to his left, where you could see some people in a steaming sauna. April waved as the figure sighed. "I've only got 10; help me out here." Feeling for sorry for the traveler for a second, Murakami grabbed the pizza. "Very well. 10 will get you this, and no more." He said as he pushed the pizza closer to the traveller.
April snapped back into her mission, and tapped the traveller's covered arm. "Um, just tell me one thing. What was happening on the North Mountain? Did it seem… magical?" The traveller took off the mask covering his mouth which exposed pale green skin. "Yes! It did!" He exclaimed in exasperation.
April blinked. She hadn't fully been expecting a human, with the kingdom she lived in, but a mutant turtle? 'He's just like Leo! Cool!' "Now, please step back, while I deal with this hanzai-sha," (2) The mutant told her a bit annoyed.
Murakami face scrunched up as he stood to his full height, which was much taller than either of the customers expected. "What did you call me?" He asked. 'Me and my big mouth...'
Next thing the mutant knew, he was thrown out into the snow, empty-handed other than what he'd went in with. He sputtered as a giant red and purple turtle came up to him, eagerly smelling for the pizza. He looked at his friend with a frown. "No, Chompy, I didn't get your pizza," The mutant turtle said defeatedly. Chompy groaned. "But I did find us a place to sleep! And it's free." He smiled, looking over at the small cave-like stable. Chompy snorted.
April blinked as Murakami sat back down, not having expected that in the least. "I am sorry about this violence," Murakami said as he sat back down. "I will add a plate of warm sushi, so we have good feelings." He held up a fresh plate of sushi. He set it down. "Just the outfit and the boots, yes?" He asked. April bit her lip. "Um…"
Donnie and Chompy sat in their temporary quarters, Donnie playing a lute. "Aliens are better than mutants," He sang, bored and not too tired, "Chomps, don't you think that's true?"
"Yes, mutants will beat you and curse you and cheat you!" The purple-masked turtle impersonated his friend. "Every one of them's bad, except you!"
"Ah, thanks! But people smell better than both of... us…" Donnie stuttered, chuckling. "Chomps, don't you think I'm right?
"That's once again true, especially you.
"Ya got me, let's call it a night… Goodnight… Don't let the frostbite… bite…" Donnie concluded the song with a smile, sliding his mask around his eyes to block the light out.
The door opened, and both turtles jumped. "Nice duet," April complimented. Donnie sighed in relief. "It's just you. What do you want?" Even as he asked this, he immediately noticed that she'd changed into her winter outfit, which was a green dress with a blue cape, hat, and deep yellow gloves.
"I want you to take me up the North Mountain," April answered immediately. Donnie looked at her warily, then shrugged. "Sorry. Don't take people places." He put his purple mask back over his eyes.
"Let me rephrase that." Before Donnie could comment, a heavy bag was thrown on his plastron. He grunted and opened it. He blinked, taking out the rope and pickaxe. "Take me to the North Mountain," April said, trying her best to be bold for the first time in her life, "please." Chompy sniffed the bag, then whined as he discovered no food. Specifically pizza. Donnie looked at the princess warily still. "Look, I know how to stop this winter," April tried. Donnie groaned lightly, laying back again. "We leave at dawn. And you also forgot Chompy's pizza." He yelped as a hot plate hit him, and surprisingly the pizza didn't fall off it.
"Sorry! Sorry. Um," April stood up straighter. "We leave now. Right now." She then strode out, and as soon as she was out of sight, she breathed heavily, never having been that bold to… anyone before. Donnie watched her walk out the door, giving Chompy a slice of pizza then taking a bite himself.
So... Raph won't be in this frozen. I might do the second one but I don't know. I need to see Frozen 2 before I make any rash decisions. Anyway, thanks for reading. Don't forget to fav, follow, and review, please! Bye! :)
