Angel: *groans in disgust* Just thinking about TMNT right now is making me uncomfortable since I stopped writing for it. The hype has thankfully gone down, but I don't wanna have to deal with more potential people bugging me to write for it again. Some people keep mentioning it anyway even though I want nothing to do with it writing-wise. If you're asking about the movie, Fairytalegirl22, I'm definitely not writing it ever thanks to some people who wanted to be pushy.
And that's where my answer ends because I just don't wanna talk about TMNT for the time being. Though if I get more people asking about me writing more stories for the franchise because it got mentioned then yes, I will block people who don't understand that I just don't really care for writing TMNT at this rate.
Or if people try to beg or convince me to keep writing for it, that's also an automatic block from me.
A podium stands underneath a spotlight until someone wearing a suit and tie approaches it. He stands in front of the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, it is my distinct pleasure to bring you tonight's entertainment..." The podium goes away as he gestures to a giant raging crowd. "Robot Riot 3: Robot Rampage!"
The audience cheers as lights go off. "Tonight's battle features: Sir Smashalot," The robot has giant hammers for weapons. "Incinetron." The name is fairly obvious, this robot gives out fire. "Buzz Saw Joe," A country boy smirks at his robot with two buzz saws. "The annihilator," The annihilator has a roller to flatten robots. "And the newcomers to the melee, Little and Big Dipper." These robots belong to Tuck and Piri as he grins widely. Little and Big Dipper...have those names for a reason as they're both the same height at being smaller than the kids, but Piri's is a girl version of Tuck's, just pink and with a bow.
"Beep!"
"I can't wait to see the Annihilator's advanced hydraulics in action," Someone from the crowd says in excitement.
"I can't wait to see stuff get broked," A heavy-set member chimes in. The audience cheers as the two end up hugging each other.
"Let the mayhem begin!" The crazed announcer says into the microphone. All of the previous robots head for each other.
"Go get 'em, guys!" Tuck smiles as he and Piri move their robots forward. The robots attack each other while the tiny robots bump into Sir Smashalot. They try to attack again, the robot turning around and actually laughing at them. The other robots chime in.
"You call those robots?" Sir Smashalot's creator points down at the two mockingly. "My blender could beat those things," The others burst out laughing at the two. Then the whole crowd starts laughing at the duo.
"I'll make you eat those words!" Piri hisses at him. Sir Smashalot knocks the little robots out with its eye, knocking them to the ground. The kids take the robots and run off with them.
"Look, ladies, I can't let you in without a ticket," The ticket man speaks up.
"We would never support this barbaric display of robotic exploitation. But my friends Tuck and Piri are competing," The ticket man closes the booth, but she doesn't seem to notice. Amy coughs awkwardly while watching her friend. "They put their heart and souls into this. And it means so much to...them," They see the two going up to them. "What's the matter, guys?" Jenny bends down to him. "Didn't you win?"
"Win? We couldn't even compete," Tuck laments to her.
"They just looked at our robots and didn't even take us seriously," Piri pouts at her sister, hugging her legs. Amy bends down and pats her back.
"Don't listen to what they said. I know you did your best."
"Aw, gee. I wish there was...something I could do," In their heads, Jenny says the last part in a monotone voice. They open their mouths in shock and then beam widely.
"Maybe there is, XJ9. Maybe there is," Tuck chuckles evilly while clasping his hands.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Jenny raises a brow at him. She then flinches in alarm as she realizes what he's suggesting. "Oh, no. Don't even think about it, Tucker!"
"Come on, Jen! Those scrappy bullies would be no match for you and Ms. Mecha."
"Who?!" Amy looks up in alarm. "Why does she need to get involved?"
"Who else would be my entry?" Piri looks up at her.
"Absolutely not!" Jenny crosses her arms. "Same goes for Ms. Mecha."
"Please!" The two kids beg them.
"No!"
"Please?"
"No," Jenny denies again.
"No!"
"Please?"
"No," However, this time Jenny looks a bit more sympathetic.
"Look, I'll even call Ms. Mecha myself to convince you," She glances at Amy, who flinches but sighs as Jenny pulls up her cell phone to fake call her.
"Piri, I'm gonna go to the bathroom," She gives a blank look as she walks off, and goes into the bathroom a few feet away. She changes into Ms. Mecha and then walks back out.
"Please?"
"No..."
"Please?"
"No."
"It's not exactly a fair fight for either of us," Amy speaks up to them.
"But I wanna make my big sister Amy proud of me if I win!" Piri pouts up at her, the brunette flinching as she didn't know that was the reason Piri wanted to compete.
"Aw, that's really sweet of you, but I'm sure she'd be proud no matter what," Amy rubs the back of her neck.
"Not really. She's gone all of the time now, I'm hoping to get her attention this way. Sure, I annoy her a lot, but she's still my big sis," Piri explains to her. Amy bites her lip while tearing up at her confession and grabs Jenny's shoulder, turning her around so that they could talk. They walk a few feet away, the two kids staring at them.
"I feel really bad for Piri, I'm Ms. Mecha to help protect not just her, but the city. But I guess I haven't spent that much time with her..." She coughs so she could try and stop crying from how sweet Piri was being.
"You could just tell her the truth," Jenny shrugs to her. "Better than to do it."
"No; I'm already going through a lot with...teen drama," She gives a blank look. "It'd be too much for me right now to bring myself to tell them. I'm not asking you to join me, but I'm gonna say yes. Piri really wants to do this for me."
She sighs in defeat, both of them turning around to the kids. "Okay."
"YES!" They both cheer, jumping up with smiles.
"I just know I'm gonna regret this..." She murmurs to her friend.
Piri and Tuck step on some boxes, looming over the ones that Amy and Jenny are in. "Just hang tight in there till we give you the signal."
"Is this absolutely necessary?" Jenny asks while peeking out of the box.
"Yeah, it feels stuffy in here," Amy dusts herself off a bit.
"Of course!" Tuck slams down the top, Piri doing the same. "Intimidation is half the battle."
"Plus, we're all about making an entrance," The little girl grins widely. "...By the way, don't steal my sister's quotes," She gives Tuck a blank look. "Where is Amy, anyway?" She looks around in confusion.
"Um, she's probably in the audience by now," Amy tells her from inside. Piri shrugs and the two pull the boxes into the arena.
"Now don't come out till we introduce you guys," Tuck informs the girls.
"I already regret this," Jenny grumbles from inside the box.
"Oh, come on. Let's just go along with it. It'll be over as soon as we know it," Amy tries to assure her, but it doesn't work.
The robots are still battling it out as Tuck approaches the other competitors. Piri approaches from behind, both of them smiling proudly. "Jeez, look who's back," The girl speaks up to the others. "Got more wires and tools you want us to break, peewees?"
"Fellow competitors, meet your doom. The Tuckinator and the Piri-Dominator!"
Tuck and Piri look up as nothing happens, both of them nudging at the boxes. "Hey! Guys!" Piri whispers at them.
"Those were your cues," He grins in embarrassment at the others.
"The Tuckinator?"
"The Piri-Dominator?" Amy is equally as confused.
"Come on, guys!" Tuck whispers to them, the competitors laughing at the two. They stop as the box shakes and the two fly out, landing in the middle of the area. Jenny places her hands on her hips with a smirk.
"Wuzzup, y'all?"
"Ready to rumble?" Amy smirks as she cracks her knuckles.
"Uh-oh," All the competitors say in unison, the four robots surrounding the girls.
"Sorry, fellas. We'll try to make this as painless as possible," Jenny dashes forward as she and Amy punch/kick one. "Sorry. Whoopsy. Excuse me. My bad," She apologizes to each and every single one of them because she doesn't want to hurt them. But they were doing it for their own personal reasons.
"Whoa!" The crowd murmurs in awe, as do Tuck and Piri.
"I-I mean, it's all in the wrist, folks," Tuck corrects himself, both of them pretending to control the girls.
"Nothing else much to it, heh heh..." Piri smiles nervously at the crowd. The crowd of damaged robots go up to the duo, who prepare some weapons.
"It'll be easier if you just forfeit," Jenny states while bringing up lasers and missiles. Amy summons giant fists as well as spiked feet. The robots all shriek in fear, running away from the arena to the shock of their inventors.
"Abort. Abort. Abort."
Tuck and Piri both get 2 points each, the four waving to the cheering crowd. "Happy, guys?" Jenny turns to the two kids, who smile happily.
"Thank you! Thank you! Your adulation makes it all worthwhile," Tuck blows a kiss to them.
"All of you contributed to this rewarding victory!" Piri gives a wink to the crowd, the two just letting it happen with small smiles.
Jenny and Amy lay down together on towels during a hot day. Jenny wears sunglasses and has a can of oil nearby while Amy has a parasol over her body while wearing a book. She has some sunscreen on her nose. Jenny makes her ears into mirrors to project sunlight onto her body. The towel then withers up, the grass getting overheated. Tuck and Piri pop up from the fence.
"Jenny, what are you lounging around here for?" The robot frowns as they ran up to the girls. "We've got another contest to win."
"Yeah! Call up Ms. Mecha and get her over here now!" Piri bounces up and down impatiently.
"There's more?" Jenny wonders in disinterest, lifting up her sunglasses.
"Could've sworn that was the only time you had to do it," Amy glances away in annoyance, speaking for herself too.
"Yesterday was just the preliminaries," Tuck attempts to get them to stand up, Piri pulling at her sister's arm. "Today is the championship."
"Sorry, Tuck," Jenny pushes him off. "Ms. Mecha and I are retired."
"You guys know better than to have Jenny fight against robots whose schematics aren't as complex as hers. Not exactly fair to the other competitors," Amy speaks up; usually she tends to stay out of robotic rights when Jenny is so passionate about it. But after yesterday, she knows now that it's not right to them.
"See?" Jenny gestures to the girl.
"Please?" The two hop over with tears falling from their eyes. "We're begging you. One more fight, that's all we ask. Have mercy on us."
"Friends help each other out..." Piri asks pleadingly, wiping her snotty nose with her sleeve.
The girls glance at each other after seeing this. Amy then sighs in defeat as she remembers why Piri entered the thing in the first place. "Okay, okay. Have some dignity," Jenny holds up a hand, the two kids grinning happily. "But this is the last time," She stands up and leaves, the kids hopping over to follow her. Thankfully that means Amy could transform without them paying attention, but still...
"Ladies and gentlemen, fans of gladiatorial carnage, welcome to the Robot Riot Championship!" The crowd erupts with cheers as they wait to witness it. "Please give an unbridled display of feverish bloodlust for yesterday's winners, The Tuckinator and The Piri-Dominator!" Two doors open to reveal the four, both Jenny and Amy looking annoyed to be there. Both of them are dressed in capes with Amy as Ms. Mecha while the kids are blinged out.
"Is this great or what?" Tuck wonders to his friend.
"Or what," Amy grumbles in response to his question.
"I feel like an idiot," Jenny retorts back to him.
"Come on, Jen. We all look great!" Tuck smiles up at the robot.
"Yeah, let's live a little while also beating the competition without mercy," Piri grins while rubbing her hands together.
"What was that?" Amy glances down at her with a raised brow.
"Oh, nothing."
"You're gonna mop the floor with these palookas! You're the greatest!"
Jenny sighs while Amy rolls her eyes to the back of her head with a tiny smile. "At least they're happy," She remarks while throwing off her cape.
"At least after this, we never have to do it again," Amy tries to assure the both of them while taking off her own cape. They stand in the middle of the arena, not noticing the larger shadows that surround the duo.
"Now, don't worry, fellas. We're gonna take it easy on-" A foot stomps on Jenny right to her partner and she looks up wide-eyed after this happens. The foot lifts up to reveal that she's stuck in the pavement. "You..."
Amy steps away as the robots this time around look not only bigger, but much more dangerous. Especially since this time, they have actual weapons and features that can actually hurt the both of them. One of them smashes the ground with his fists, creating a crack that goes all the way to the two, knocking them up into the sky. Amy falls near the hole that's been created while Jenny falls inside with plaster falling onto her body. The ground shakes as she breaks herself free, flying into the sky. Amy takes flight as a foot was about to stomp on her, the girls flying side by side.
"I guess they brought in the heavyweight division," Jenny comments to her friend.
"Piri and Tuck never mentioned this to us!" Amy exclaims in a bit of panic, and they have to dodge back and forth to avoid them. The robot firing them circles around after each shot. The girls circle around each other with each shot before stopping to take a look at the ground.
"We better get our game faces on," Jenny states as they prepare their weapons. One of the robots flings his arms forward to grab Jenny's limbs. Before Amy can do anything, the same robot holding Jenny slinks another arm around and grabs her by her robotic hair.
"Hey!" She cries out while struggling, the laser robot firing again to make Jenny's pigtails fly off her head. Then it fires to get rid of Amy's metallic wings, and all four objects rocket off into the sky, coming together to explode into fireworks. The audience awes over the flashing lights before Jenny gets her arms ripped off. Amy's boots get ripped off as they fall, only to get electrocuted and fall to the ground. "Ugh...they've got some serious firepower," Amy grits her teeth at the robots.
"All right, it's time to bring the pain," Jenny clenches a fist and jumps forward, Amy leaping up after her. Both of them stomp the monkey robot to pieces, turning around while grabbing one hand each. They gesture for the laser robot to come forward. He narrows his eye and prepares all of his turrets at the same time.
"Hi...yah!" Jenny uses the hand to slice the robot in half. Amy then slices up the two halves into four pieces, the robot falling completely apart in front of them. The electrocuting robot slides up to them. "Oh, no you don't."
The two jump up as it strikes the ground, but misses. The two grip the long arm attached to the weapon. "Shock us once, shame on you. Shock us twice, shame on us!" Jenny states as they throw up the robot and slam it against the ground. They then toss the robot across the arena, breaking it off from the arm. The crowd cheers as they smirk.
"That'll teach you," Amy smiles while wiping off her hands. Suddenly they get crushed by the biggest one.
"Whoa, this may be the ends for the metal mistresses," The announcer states, the robot shaking before the girls break free, using their elbows and crushing the robot to pieces. "Astounding! What a fight! You gotta hand it to the little ladies. They take a lickin' and keep on kickin'," Jenny helps Amy stand up, the two smirking with their hands on their hips. The crowd cheers loudly for their victory and they walk up to the two kids.
"Oh, Jenny! Ms. Mecha! That was amazing!" Tuck gushes at them. Amy's helmet is cracked while her feet are sparking thanks to her boots being damaged.
"Yeah, yeah. It was painful too. Can we go now? We're ready to collapse," Jenny wonders to the two.
"And my bruises have so many bruises that I can't even feel anything," Amy groans as she hangs her arms tiredly.
"Go? You still have one more robot to defeat! Only then will we be crowned King Rathamanzar and Princess Destroyer, lords of all automatons! We shall be adored, envied, and respected. We'll finally be somebody!"
"And finally my big sister will pay attention to me! No more going away, no more being locked away in her room, and no more sneaking around! We used to do everything together, but now it feels like she wants nothing to do with me," Piri crosses her arms with a pout, the two blinking down at them.
"Is that what this is about?" Jenny asks after a few seconds.
"And I'm sure she's paid attention to you at least once, right?" Amy bites her lip nervously, hoping she hasn't neglected her little sister that much.
"No," Piri pouts, crossing her arms. "I spend time with her either with all of my sisters or for a short time before she goes off and disappears for the rest of the night...does she really not wanna be around us that much?"
Amy rubs her arm while giving an awkward look. Having to hear this was hard for her, because she still can't tell them her identity. It was bad enough Vexus knows, she might attack her home one day just to get to her. And then what if her sisters got hurt?
"You already are somebody, Tuck," Jenny smiles at the boy.
"Yeah," He releases the air from his balloon shoes that make him taller. "Brad's little brother. Somebody who's too small for anything. The kid who always gets ignored," He turns away with a frown.
"Aw, Tuck," Jenny bends down to him. "Don't you see that-" Suddenly the girls get grabbed from behind, and the attacker lifts them up by their heads.
"Looks like the championship bout has begun, folks. Oh-ho-ho, this is gonna be good!" The announcer booms as they attempt to break free. They finally slip out of the giant hands, letting themselves fall before looking up.
"Oh, boy..." Jenny murmurs at their opponent.
"This isn't good," Amy winces as he's around the same height as Armageddon.
"I am Abomitron. Prepare for an abomination," He declares while towering over the two.
"You've gotta be kidding," The robot girl remarks to her friend.
"Come on, guys! He's your last opponent. You can do it!" Tuck cries out to them. "Do it for me! Immortality is within my grasp!"
"And maybe my sis will reward us with ice cream!" Piri calls out, Amy flinching before giving a blank look.
"Of course she'd say that..."
Jenny looks away with a sigh. "They're both being a little ridiculous with the whole lord and princess thing. But we did promise we'd do this together, right?" She asks the brunette.
"...Yeah..." Amy sighs in defeat before they jump away from giant fists that slam the ground. They start kicking and punching at the fists, but they do nothing. It felt like they were punching a refrigerator. Abomitron swings his fists forward, the two dodging back and forth. He raises his foot to try and stomp on them, the two leaping out of the way. The robot prepares his weapons, rapidly firing at his opponents. The two run for it, getting cornered at the wall and looking up at him.
"Come on, guys! He's nothing! You can take him!" He looks up to see the other competitors glaring down at them. He giggles nervously as they take out their controllers, as they forgot that they're only supposed to compete with their own built bots. Abomitron swings his fists forward again, and the two jump so that he hits the arena. They run up his body from opposite sides, standing in front of his face.
"Hey, blockhead! We're right here," Jenny waves her hands, Amy blowing a raspberry at him. Abomitron raises his fists and they smirk as they look back. They jump out of the way so that the robot punches off his own head, falling to the ground. The two land on the fallen head, Amy helping Jenny stand as the fight took a lot of energy out of the both of them. Tuck and Piri cheer while laughing in victory.
"Well, thank jobs that's over with," Jenny waves to the crowd, as does Amy.
"Yeah, now we never have to do this again," She says in relief. "But I think it's time I talk to my sister." Neither of them notice the body standing up and removing its green armor to reveal it now in red.
"You're gonna tell her?!" Jenny whips around to her in shock.
"Well-"
Suddenly the robot grabs the both of them, pulling them forward. A panel opens up to reveal that a Cluster alien has been controlling it the whole time! "The Cluster?!" The both of them exclaim in shock, both of them wiggling around trying to break free.
"Struggling and fighting. You can't escape us! Look!" He points down to the other destroyed robots, who are also Cluster aliens in disguise. The whole crowd gasps sharply at this.
"Oh no!" The two kids panic upon seeing this. "The Cluster!"
"They'll tear Jenny and Ms. Mecha apart after the beating they're taken. And it's all our fault. We gotta do something. But what?"
"We're just two little kids," Piri reminds him and he gasps.
"Follow me!" He tells the girl and they run off. The alien controlling the robot reaches out to the announcer, who was shaking in fear. He merely takes the microphone, taking it from the robot's hand.
"Pitiful meat creatures, we have infiltrated your contest and bested your champions. Now we shall conquer your world!"
"Think again, roach face!" Tuck calls out, pointing up at him. "If you want them, you're gonna have to go through us."
"Bring out the army!" Piri screeches and then whistles with her fingers.
The other competitors send out their robots to attack, the crowd cheering. The Cluster attempt to fight against them. "You fools! Your pitiful auto shop rejects are no match for us."
"He's right," One of them tells the kids.
"We need an edge, something to turn the tide," Tuck narrows his eyes, bringing out his controller. Piri does the same. "Go get 'em, Little and Big Dipper!" Their robots beep as they roll forward, going past all the Cluster aliens defeating all of the robots.
"Oh no!" Someone panics from the crowd. "The Cluster has taken out all of our best robots."
"Wait! Who are those little guys sneaking past 'em?" One of them yells, pointing to the two robots. They crawl up the robot, managing to get to the top to overthrow the one controlling it. He crashes into his friends, and they all glare.
"Who dares?"
They all flinch as because they don't have control over the robot anymore, they're now outmatched. The girls smirk while standing on the shoulders of the robot. "Cluster drones, allow me to introduce Big Dipper and, um..."
"Princess Dipper!" Piri shouts and the two just shrug in agreement.
"Not so intimidating without your robot, are you?" Amy smiles with a smug look on her face. Tuck and Piri narrow their eyes, controlling the robot to grab the Cluster. Jenny then holds the microphone, gesturing to the five.
"What do you think, folks? Should we school these guys Earth-style?"
"Yeah! Send them back to their own galaxy!"
"Milky Way! Milky Way!" His seatmate cheers, and everyone joins in.
"Milky Way! Milky Way!"
"You heard 'em, Dippers. Give the fans what they want," Jenny gestures to the crowd. Together, Tuck and Piri toss them into the score board so that they make a zero. Earth is given a 5 while the Cluster go flying out into space.
"Jenny!" Tuck runs up to her, though Ms. Mecha is now gone. "Little Dipper! Thank goodness you're okay."
"Okay?" The announcer runs up to them. "Son, you and your friend are the best of the best. I am proud to declare you King Rathamanzar and Princess Destroyer, lords of all automatons," He holds out a crown to them.
"Piri!"
She looks up to see Amy waving to her. "Amy!" She runs up to her sister, the brunette bending down so that they can share a hug.
"No. No, thank you," Tuck holds up a hand. "It's not about me. It's about the robots. They deserve the real credit."
"But, Tuck," Jenny bends down to him. "I thought this was your chance to be someone."
"I am someone," He removes his props and fake teeth. "I'm Jenny Wakeman's friend, and that's enough for me." She and Amy smile happily at him. "Come on, I'll treat you to some high octane and ice cream." They all hold hands with smiles, walking off down the street. Little Dipper and Big Dipper beep while looking around, and he puts on the crown, although it's too big for him.
After spending the rest of the day with all of her sisters, it was after that Amy realized that her suit needed to be repaired since the championships put her through a lot. She rubs her chin in thought; this kind of thing is foreign to her, and she couldn't exactly ask Nora to do it either. She pinches her nose knowingly as she knows who to ask...
Whether or not she could stomach it was the question, though.
A knock is heard from Sheldon's garage and he lifts up a welding mask. He opens it up, flinching in surprise to see Amy wearing her suit, her arms crossed.
"Oh! Amy...what are you doing here?" He rubs the back of his neck awkwardly; they hadn't talked to each other ever since the Vexus incident.
"Sheldon..." She sighs slowly as she doesn't feel entirely comfortable being there. "I need you to patch me up."
"Oh! O-of course. You know you're always welcome in my garage," He gestures inside and she steps in, taking a seat at his table. She lays down on the table as eh shuts the door and she takes off her helmet, putting it right next to her. He takes over and puts on a surgical mask. "Um...so about Vexus and what she did-"
"Look, Sheldon..." She interrupts with a deep sigh. "Vexus tricked you, so I'll give you some leyway for that. But you still risked my identity. Luckily she or the Cluster don't seem interested in telling the whole world, or else they would have today. I thought I could trust you..."
"You can trust me," He replies sadly while taking the helmet. "It's just...I-I wasn't thinking?"
"Sheldon, we both know that's not like you. You'd never write my name on the blueprints because that'd risk my identity in case someone saw them," She guesses correctly and he bites his lip, looking away. "You wouldn't have done it unless it meant something for you to do so..." She frowns in realization as he uses a blow torch on her helmet. "...Sheldon, do you still have feelings for me?"
"What?!" He drops everything in alarm, sweating nervously at her. "No! Of course not! Only Jenny has my heart, remember?" He tugs at his collar awkwardly. She sits up and looks straight forward, shuffling awkwardly.
"But you have a shrine next to Jenny's that's dedicated to me."
He freezes, quickly looking back and realizing he never hid it. "T-That could be anyone's!"
"In your garage? Not to mention that you're an only child. Sheldon...do you have feelings for me?" She asks again seriously and he coughed, trying to find excuses to hide it. But...he couldn't bring himself to lie to her since they're already not on good terms.
"I...I don't know," He sags his shoulders. "Sometimes I still think about you...the way that I think about Jenny," He rubs his neck. "And I don't know what it means. So when I wrote your name...I wrote it with a heart, but it probably doesn't mean anything!" He waves his hands nervously.
She doesn't say anything to him and he sweats nervously, dreading her reaction. Amy silently jumps off the table. He stares at her in confusion as she straight up leaves the garage, leaving her helmet behind. As she walks, she has a look of utter confusion and fear. Sheldon stares at her sadly, wondering what was going through her mind...
And whether or not he should've kept his mouth shut.
