PART 2

3-5: "In Dreams"
"Do you think it'll work?" Ryu glances up from the blueprints to gaze across the counter at her good friend Roy. He's in his late fifties, a brilliant mechanic, and a retired member of the Dragons. He had turned down the offer to enter the final trial that would allow him to become a Dragon just for the simple fact that he had fell in love with the country and this small town.
So he left the order and settled down out here to start his own little business with his new bride Melissa. Sadly, Melissa died from cancer a few years back and those who truly knew him can see the lonely look haunting the edges of his eyes even now. But he always wears a smile all the same. His warm personality always brings light to anyone's day and Ryu has always admired that.
Roy sighs, rubbing his mouth with his hand as he stares down at the designs, "I don't know…I mean…Ryu, this is really complicated…H-how did you even come up with this?"
Ryu shrugs, "I live for this stuff, you know that. It's my favorite hobby."
"Yeah, but for someone of your young age to come up with this…" He glance up at her, his deep blue eyes narrowing suspiciously. "Just how smart are you?"
She scoffs and throws her head back to laugh. Leaning off the counter, her hands prop on her hips and her eyes dance in amusement, "Come on, Roy, I'm not that smart."
"You graduated from college two years ago."
Ryu's smile falls from her face at his serious expression and she quickly leans back on the counter to hide her embarrassment, "Yeah, okay, can you just try? If it doesn't work, then I'll think of something else."
Roy chuckles and picks up the blueprints, rolling them up carefully to place inside a cabinet with a pad lock, "I'll see what I can do, but what you're asking for is worrying me. There's going to be a lot of unnecessary speed packed onto that bike of yours." He turns to raise an eyebrow at her over his shoulder, "Don't kill yourself, alright?"
She just throw him a crooked grin, "Really, Roy? You know it's all just 'cause I'm bored."
"Yeah, that's what worries me."
She passes him an envelope with the money he'll need and quickly turns around so that she doesn't have to face the look of suspicion he throws at her the second he sees the amount of bills inside. She waves bye without looking back and closes the front door to the shop behind her.
Outside in the van, Venn, Leo, and Raph all wait for her to return.
"So…?" Venn asks curiously. Ryu slowly pulls on her seat belt, meeting his gaze cautiously.
"What?"
"How'd it go?"
"Drop it, Venn. It's none of your business," she snaps her seat belt in and turns her gaze out the front of the windshield.
"Oh, come on. You never tell me what you're building," he whines.
"Well, duh. I never tell anyone…at least not until it's done."
Venn stares at her quietly, showing no sign of starting up the engine, "It was on paper. That means it's done."
"Just because it's on paper doesn't mean it's actually going to work!" Ryu rolls her eyes.
"Can you at least give me a hint?"
She sighs and hangs her head, rubbing her forehead absentmindedly, "It's just a…toy. Nothing special."
"A toy?"
"A…personal toy," Ryu presses her lips together to hold in anymore words from slipping out, but out of the corner of her eye she can see Raph, Leo, and Venn all staring at her, patiently waiting. "Ugh, it's just something to get rid of the boredom. I haven't had much time to tinker with my bike in a while so I decided to take the opportunity."
Venn narrows his gaze, "Yeah, now I'm worried. When it comes to your bike, you usually come up with something dangerous…nothing even remotely resembling a toy."
She spins on him, "A little speed boost is not dangerous!"
"It is if you're attaching it to that heap of junkyard scrap metal. A speed boost any faster than thirty miles per hour would have that thing breaking into pieces."
"Lenne is not a piece of junkyard scrap metal! I've fixed it up better than that, thank you," Ryu crosses her arms and sinks down into the seat to glare out her side window. The van goes quiet for a long moment.
"Lenne?" Leo snickers.
"You named your bike?" Raph grins.
Ryu huffs, throwing them all glares as they laugh at her, "It was the name of the wife of the guy I bought it from."
"And you couldn't change it?" Venn hoots. "I mean, guys usually name their vehicles girl names, but girls are supposed to name their vehicles guy names."
"No, changing the original name is always bad luck," she argues.
"I changed the name of the van," he shoots back, tapping the steering wheel of the vehicle in question.
Ryu suddenly grins, "No wonder is drives like a piece of junkyard scrap metal."
Raph and Leo burst into even louder hysteria behind them and she just grins cockily at Venn whose smile has dropped clean off his face. Biting back his words, he turns the ignition key and cranks the engine. It backfires and they just laugh even harder, Ryu joining in this time.
Back at the farm house, they arrive to find everyone out in the yard training. Raph and Leo race over the second their feet hit the ground to join in on the action; finding their weapons waiting for them on the porch. Ryu hands Venus the radio Venn had had before going to train as well and then heads for the barn. Swinging the door open, she expects to find Donnie hard at work, but the place is empty. Her eyes narrow in confusion as she leans back out the door to look back at the sparing group.
"Hey, where's Donnie?" she calls.
"He wouldn't wake up so I put a pair of underwear on his face," Mikey grins mischievously.
Ryu shakes her head at the little guy, not really sure of what she should say exactly, so instead she swings her arm around his neck and rubs her knuckles into his skull, "Mikey…I really don't know what to say. You are several kinds of crazy, you know that?"
"L.T.D.? Like a Turtle Do!" he moonwalks his way backwards back towards his other brothers before flipping out his weapons. Ryu laughs and heads back into the unofficial workshop they've set up inside the barn. She and Venn had moved the strangely familiar computer they had found in the Kraang ship under the house inside the barn about a week ago. Everyone was surprised to find that it wasn't even attached to the ship itself, powered by something internally that was separate from the rest of the machine.
Since then, Ryu's tried to figure out another way to read the disk without having to pull it out, but no other way seems possible. Whoever rigged this obvious booby trap knew what they were doing…almost too perfectly.
Ryu sits down on the hay bale next to the table with her computer stuff on its surface and boots up her laptop. She hadn't been able to make it to her base in the city when they had first arrive, too many Kraang were around who outnumbered them, but she was lucky to have her laptop with her from home back at the village. Somehow she knew she was going to need it.
The screen boots up and a message blinks to life, awaiting her approval.
Scan complete…Test failed.
Ryu groans and drops her forehead onto the desk in defeat. This is possibly the hundredth test she's performed and nothing has worked. Lifting her head back up, her eyes follow the cord from her laptop, across the table, and plugged into the only outlet they could find on the eerily familiar computer.
Guess that's it then, she thinks, getting up and unplugging the cord from the machine. She stands in front of it, gazing down at the black screen in deep thought. Slowly, uncertainly, Ryu's finger taps a dusty key. The computer screen lights up.
Denied. The message flashes across the screen and the small, blue flash drive slides out not three inches away from it. Ryu stares at it…
Her fingers reach towards it shakily…
Maybe it wouldn't do anything…
Maybe the computer will just shut down again…
Maybe the disk won't have anything on it…
Too many maybes, Ryu thinks. Her hand pauses, the disk just centimeters from her fingertips. Too many ifs. I've got to know. This could help my family.
She drops her hands and sighs, hanging her head as she leans against the machine, "What am I doing? Have I lost my mind? It's probably just shut down codes for the ship. That's not enough to risk the lives of my family." Ryu returns to her chair by her table and gets to work searching for any news on New York's status, turning her thought away from the blue disk entirely.
By the time she finds any news, she's too exhausted to really read it. Everything she finds is the same: no one's allowed in or near the city, police are saying that nothing's wrong, the explosions and crazy light were blamed on a gas explosion but no one was hurt…
The list goes on and on; Ryu has a funny feeling that it's all being seeded by the Kraang. Her thoughts instantly dive somewhere she would've rather forgotten. Shredder and his followers…Tigerclaw…
Wonder what happened to them, she shakes the thought clear before it even has a chance to fully form and slams her laptop screen closed. "That's the signal for a break," she tells herself as she leaves the barn.
The front door is ajar when she walks in, finding Venus and Casey standing just inside the doorframe to the living room.
"Back already?" Ryu asks Venus as she steps up behind her. "Did you find me some chocola-?" her words die in her mouth. April and Venn are crouched on the floor next to Donnie's still body, "What's going on?"
April looks up, "We came back to find them all like this. They're asleep, but they won't wake up."
What?! Ryu takes two large steps and reaches across the back of the couch to touch Raph's sleeping face. His skin is cool to the touch. Her eyes widen as she looks down at Leo asleep on the couch and she checks him next. Same thing.
"What the heck?"
"That's what we said," Venus rolls her eyes.
"You know, that guy at the store was fishy. He asked if we'd been feeling tired lately and then we get home to this," Casey spits out.
Ryu spins on him as he walks by and grabs a handful of the front of his shirt, "What else did he say?"
Casey throws his hands up in surrender at her demand, "T-that's it. I mean, he was pretty protective of his stuff, but-."
"He's a store owner. He can't be protective of his stuff if he wants to sell it," Venus gripes.
"I think he means when Casey went behind the counter and-."
"Did you try to steal something?" Ryu demands, cutting Venn off.
"What? No! I just saw this weird lookin' book with some random gibberish on the front and-."
"What gibberish?"
"Why don't you stop barking at me?!" Casey snaps.
"Ryu, calm down," Venn orders, standing up slowly. Ryu gradually releases the front of Casey's shirt and he takes a step back.
"What'd it say?" Venn continues.
"I don't know…uh…O-obturaculi-lu….Somni-something. I can't remember," Casey stuffs his hands into the joined pocket on the front of his hoody.
Ryu drops her eyes to the floor in thought, obtura…obtu…obturaculi-lu? That's not even a word. Somni…somni…That's familiar…
"Obturaculum…does that sound right?" Ryu asks.
Casey thinks for a second and then nods.
Ryu turns to glance at Leo again over the back of the couch, "Obturaculum Somniorum."
"Y-yeah, that's it," Casey exclaims.
"What does it mean?" Venn inquires.
Ryu rubs her forehead, "I'd need to brush up on my Latin…"
"You took Latin?"
She glares at the older girl, "I did go to college you know. Two languages are required now a days."
"That's…something about dreams," they all turn around to face April who has moved to put Donnie's head in her lap. "I took Latin and I remember a little," she looks up worriedly, "Could they be trapped in their dreams?"
"One way to find out," Venus moves across the room and kneels down on the floor to place both thumbs in the center of Donnie's forehead and the rest of her fingers at his temples before closing her eyes. With a few centering breaths, she goes silent for what seems like forever. When she does speak, her voice sounds far off as if she's somewhere else, "Their energy points are in chaos right now; their spirits are being strained. Something's got them trapped, I can feel it, but I'm not psychic so I can't see any further than their souls."
"Maybe I can," April places her hands on either side of Donnie's head and closes her eyes next, going silent.
While they are busy with their examination, Ryu moves to Raph's side and takes his hand in hers. In just this short amount of time, his temperature has gone down even more. Her eyebrows pull together anxiously. She can hear them start talking again behind her, but she's too caught up in her thoughts to hear.
"Ryu," Venn calls. She looks back at them over her shoulder.
"I'm going to try to pull their spirits back to their bodies 'cause they're slipping away," Venus explains.
"Couldn't you just reach them with your psychic powers?" Ryu asks April.
"Maybe…"
Venus starts asking April more in-depth questions about the specifics of her abilities, leaving Ryu to shift through all the information as it comes out, "Wait."
They both look up at her.
"You could…Venus remember when we were younger, that time when you sent yourself on a spirit walk?"
Venus glances to the side, thinking back, "Yeeaaah?"
"Could you send someone else?" Ryu asks.
"Ryu, first off, this isn't the time to be going on a spirit walk, two, this is a mental matter not a soul matter, and third, I've never done it before so I wouldn't know how."
"Well, then, this is your chance to get some practice in," Ryu drops into an indian-style sitting position on the floor beside Donnie's shoulder, right between April and Venus, and starts to take centering breathes to calm her racing heart.
"Are you nuts? We don't know if it'll even work and how do you know I'll be able to even send you to the mental plane? I'm a spirit master."
"Hold on, I could channel her," April cuts in. "You pull her spirit and I'll direct her."
Venus glances between the two of them as if they're crazy, but before she can break out into an all-out frenzy, Venn crouches down behind her to take her by the shoulders, "We don't have any other plans. Just try."
"What if I screw up and Ryu ends up walking the spirit plane for the rest of eternity?!" Venus snaps, turning on him.
"And what if you don't?" Ryu raises her voice. "Stop doubting yourself. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, but at least we can say that we tried."
Venus glares at her, breathing heavily, and for a shattering moment Ryu's afraid she's going to strangle her, but then the older girl sighs and slouches out of her tight pose. With another sigh, she says, "Fine, but if you get lost, you better not haunt me."
Ryu fights back a grin, "No promises."
Venus raises her uncertain gaze to hers and forces a sideways grin, "Kay, ready your soul cause it may be too much of a jolt for it. April take my hand and put you other hand on Donnie's head. When you feel a sort of…pressure come over your own soul don't allow it to get too close, just picture it going through you and into Donnie's mind. Nothing more. You have to…"
Ryu zones them out, glancing back over her shoulder at Raph's sleeping face. This could be the last time she sees him, but she's confident that Venus can do this…sort of.
"Okay," Venus's voice pulls Ryu back to the situation at hand as the other girl reaches out towards her with her left hand. She places her thumb in the center of Ryu's forehead and the rest of her fingers at her temple. "Close your eyes and center yourself, but keep your thoughts clear. If you focus too hard on the task, you spirit will jolt back out of the phase and it could jump off somewhere…or break…either one."
"Well that's comforting," Ryu grumbles sarcastically.
"I did warn you."
"Come on, guys, we can do this," April smiles encouragingly, but Venus and Ryu share a worried look.
They all close their eyes, Ryu last, and take a deep breath at the same time. This would be a test for all of them to pass…one that would either break them or kill them.
Raph hits the ground again, sitting up against the pain throbbing through him. He's getting more exhausted by the minute. When he opens his eyes, he finds his brothers sprawled over the ground same as him. "W-what's going on?"
"I'm having the weirdest dream…" Donnie replies, rubbing his head.
"But you can't be dreaming," Leo glares at him, "I'm here!"
"That's because I'm dreaming you!"
"Maybe I'm dreaming you, but you're not dreaming me," Leo shakes his head defiantly.
"Ah, man! Where'd all the candy go?!" Mikey whines.
"Hang on, guys, I think we're all in the same dream," Raph suggests.
"That's impossible!" Leo argues.
"Nothing's impossible," a voice cuts him off. They all look up to find a red beaver crawling down a building with his long yellow claws. The beaver lifts his head, boring his strange black eyes into the turtles below on the ground, "For the Dream Beavers!"
Donnie laughs weakly, "I'm sorry, did you just say…Dream…Beavers?"
The beaver stands up on the side of the building as if gravity has no law there, and calls out loudly to some hidden hiders as if they're playing a game of hide-and-seek. Around the city, the ground starts rumbling, cars start rocking and blaring their alarms, while strange lights and smoke start pillowing out from under the man hole covers in the streets.
Around the original beaver, an orange beaver and purple beaver with similar eyes pop out behind him while a blue beaver with normal looking eyes crawls out beside him. They grin darkly down at the turtles who watch in horror at the sight, laughing menacingly.
"You think you are alone in your dreams, but you're not! For years we have wandered here, stealing the life force of humans-."
"But dude, we're not humans!" Mikey cuts him off.
"We know," Another beaver starts, "That's precisely what makes your life force so delicious!" The city world vanishes around them only to be replaced by a world of lights and haze and stars, almost like they're stuck out in the universe.
"Seriously," the red beaver continues, "Living off human life forces meal after meal and then suddenly…turtles!"
"I like chocolate chip cookies," the blue beaver grins goofily.
"Shut up, Dave!" the other beavers snarl at him.
The purple beaver suddenly picks up the turtles in his clawed hands and throws them into the air, "We're going to drain you dry and spit out your shells."
"Ew."
Everything stops, the turtles pause mid-air where they are thrown and they glance at each other in confusion.
The beavers glance around. "What was that?" the red one asks.
"Was that you, Dave?" the orange one glares at his comrade. The blue beaver just laughs goofily and folds his hands with an innocent look.
"Aw, that's cute."
The beavers jump at the voice again, "Who's there?!"
The purple beaver touches the red on the shoulder, "Wait, brother, can you not smell that?" They all take a good long whiff and sigh, sharing a dark, knowing look. "Human," they say in union.
"Human?" Donnie whispers, "You mean, there's a human trapped in here with us?"
"Who? I don't see anyone?" Mikey replies.
"What if it's one of our own, like Casey or Venus?" Leo gasps.
Raph's eyes widen worriedly as his thoughts travel to Ryu. There's no way she could've gotten trapped here. There's no way… "We're got to find them," he says.
Leo and his brothers all nod but they abruptly fall again and land in the streets of New York again. The Dream Beavers stalk towards them, "Let's finish our meal first boys. Dessert can come later."
The scene blinks, everything spinning for a split second but appears back in black and white…along with panels.
"What the heck," Raph glares using the handle of his sai to poke at the outline of the panel next to him, "Where the heck are we?"
"Back in the real world at last," Mikey smiles with a sigh.
"This looks real to you?" Donnie growls.
"More or less," Mikey nods, "Except for those guys."
Above them, the Dream Beavers watch them from the building tops, the only thing in color. "I spy with my little eye, something green!" the blue beaver laughs.
"Shut up, Dave!" the others shout at him before leaping down and landing on the turtles, crashing down through the panels until they break back out into color again, once again hitting the ground. The turtles flip to their feet and scatter as the beavers attack, Leo drawing his swords as the purple one approaches him.
"Now you see me, now you don't," the beaver laughs, swinging his tail around him and vanishing into smoke. He flashes in behind Leo and goes to attack.
Leo spins around to defend, but he's a bit too late.
"No!" something faded and see through appears between them and swings at the purple beaver, knocking him away.
"What the-?" Leo's question is stopped as Donnie's body slams into him and they go tumbling down to the floor which turns out to be the ceiling. Mikey and Raph are thrown there as well and they stand back to back as the beavers circle in.
"What happened to you?" the red beaver asks the purple one.
The beaver rubs his face, "I don't know, but the smell has changed. It's different than human." The beavers all take another whiff.
"It's far off," the red beaver laughs, "We have time to deal with it later."
Leo spots it before anyone else: that faded shape zipping behind the beavers as it flies over towards the wall to spin a wheel. A water valve; water rushes through the room and crashes into all of them, sending them soaring through backdrop after backdrop of different scenes until they land in a dark room. The temperature here is immense, chains hanging from the ceiling that hold up slabs of meat that are being prepared to be cooked.
Mikey is slung over one of these slabs of meat, but when he turns around, he screams in horror. They're not slabs of meat, they're turtle shells. The chain snaps and Mikey falls down onto a conveyer belt alongside his brothers. At the end, there's a large barrel of boiling hot liquid and the Dream Beavers stand there around it sharpening their knives and forks and cutting up vegetables to go in the soup.
The conveyer belt fires up and starts to move the turtles down the line towards the boiling barrel and the turtles start to struggle to free their arms and legs from inside their shells, but nothing works. They can't move; their screams filling the room around them.
"Yum yum!" the beavers taunt them over and over again as they inch towards their death. "Time for dinner!"
"Time for the bill!"
The conveyer belt jolts to a stop and everyone turns from the vat of boiling water to the other end of the room. That faded, burry figure has the end of the belt tightly, pulling it in the opposite direction.
"Ugh…Venus, come on! Focus! I need a little more help here!" the figure screams, the voice sounding oddly echoed and full of static.
As if on cue, the figure's blurr goes away and the edges are refined around it. Someone in black.
"Ryu?" Donnie squints to try and see the figure better.
"What? How do you know?" Leo yells.
Donnie shakes his head, trying to understand it himself, "I-I don't know…I just…do…"
"Then how come it doesn't look like her?" Raph shouts and they all turn back to Ryu. She's shorter than they remember, her hair hidden away under a black hood and her face covered by her gas mask. Both of her eyes are the same color now, but not one they know.
Deep brown they are, and young; like the eyes of a child.
"R-Ryu?"
With one last, harsh, tug, the conveyer belt comes loose and spills the turtles over onto the floor. Sadly, though, their legs and arms still don't return to their control, remaining plugged up inside their shells.
Ryu rushes up to their side, "Are you guys okay?"
They all stare at her in confusion, blinking.
"Hello? Tell me you can't talk now either," she rolls her eyes.
"Ryu?" Leo asks.
"Yeah, who else?"
"You don't…look like Ryu…" Donnie blinks.
Ryu cocks her head to the side in bewilderment, "Huh?"
"You don't sound like yourself either," Raph adds.
She coughs and chants out 'hello' a few times to hear herself, "What the heck?" Reaching up, she flips back the hood and pulls off her mask. The turtles' jaws drop near to the floor. "What the-?" Ryu gazes down at her hands after pulling off the black gloves. She knows these hands, but from a long time ago.
"You look like a kid!" Mikey starts laughing.
"I am a kid! I'm back to being twelve years old!" Ryu grabs hold of her face and starts to panic, "Dang it, Venus you screwed up!"
"Screwed up what?" Raph asks, but she's unable to answer before the beavers appear behind her.
"Eh heh heh heh," the purple one laughs as he gazes down at her, "This is the one we smelled before. A simple child."
"Cutie pie," the blue one giggles.
"Shut. Up. DAVE!" the others shove the blue one away until he disappears in a puff of smoke. "Let's eat her now; she's been nothing but trouble," the orange one suggests.
"No," the purple beaver stops his comrades as they encroach on her, "We will grill her up later. First the salty ones!"
"Help me out here, Donnie!" Ryu cries as she dashes under the legs of the Beavers and runs away. "Anything, please!"
"What are you talking about?!" Donnie exclaims, "I'm kinda stuck in my shell over here!"
"I'm not here physically, just spiritually. They sent me into your dream, so this is your zone. You control things here!" she ducks as one of the Beavers appears in front of her and attacks her head. A chain hits her back and forces her to duck again and climb into the jungle the numerous links create along the far side of the room.
"Ho, ho, lookie here!" the purple beaver laughs. He holds out a chain and it changed into a snake that slithers out towards her. Ryu backs against the wall with a scream.
"Hey, looks like someone doesn't like snakes," the red beaver chuckles.
The wall digs deeper and deeper into her back, the concrete cutting into her skin painfully, but she's not about to pull away. The snake inches forward, its skin shimmering until it changes into a near white tone. Her eyes widen in alarm; this snake she knows.
The snake opens its jaws with a hiss, long white fangs gleaming in the dim light, but then it coughs like a cat spitting up a fur ball. It jerks again and again until the body begins to shift and crumble. The white skin begins to crackle as thick brown fur replaces it.
"Meow?"
Ryu blinks as the furry creature falls into her hands and she holds it out away from her with a look of disgust, "A cat, Donnie? Really?"
"It was the first thing I could think of!" the turtle screams in a shrill panic.
"I'd take Ice Cream Kitty over this any day!"
Abruptly, the cat in her hands starts to shift again, melting in her hands and changing to browns, whites, and pinks as it mutates into their favorite little ball of ice cream. Ryu blinks in surprise.
"Uh…thanks?" she chuckles weakly.
"I…didn't…"
"Sorry, that was me!" Mikey exclaims.
They all turn to him in shock. "Wait," Leo starts, "If Mikey did that…"
"Then we all can," Raph finishes.
Ice Cream Kitty screams a high growl and leaps out of her arms at the Beavers, latching on to the red one's face as it scratches and hisses. The beaver yelps and flies back as he struggles to free himself from the howling mutant.
Ryu ducks out of the chains quickly to escape the other two Beavers who claw at her, but they pop back in front of her. Their towering forms make her twelve-year-old form look like a small rag doll next to a huge elephant.
Light blazes to life across her chest, burning her eyes, and she's forced to cover them against the light. She screams out in alarm. Ice Cream Kitty falls to the floor forgotten as the beaver she's attacking vanishes. The last two Beavers back away from the light, disappearing into the air too as it takes up the whole room.
