Author's Announcement:
Chapter six of this story. Let's just say Lucy is passed out to the ones to awaken are the three others: Shadow, Amy, and Sunset Shimmer first before her a day after, with great power comes with a cost I see. Also to mention what world they are on: dun dun dun: it's the current Turtles show, after they return from time from the doctor-thingy robot guy, and the old selves are gone by going with old robotic version of him. Also to ask who said she thought she could slightly recognized the girl, Lucy a bit, it was April O'Neil if no-one could guess that, and the world they popped right up in. So yes Sunset would wake up in the lair, but not in Donnie's lab and sees she is next to Lucy who was passed out still from over-using her powers again (Seems I tend to make her do that a lot huh? But not this time). She instead does something different to which you will simply have to read to find out.
Also there will be some moments with the Sirens in the beginning of course in minor-Adagio's POV and yes I'm making the three sirens show up sometime later in future chapters as world-hopping can be tiring, but worth the results. April's involvement with Lucy will also be explained a bit by Maleficent after recognizing the name of her mother as well once she has her alone, maybe or maybe not explaining on where she is as in this fic, she is alive (we all don't know if she is dead or alive in the series, 50/50 chance on guessing huh?). Since it might take some time for Aeroza to get to them. So some interesting things in this very chapter folks as well. So most of this story until Lucy wakes-up will be in Normal POV after the minor POV of Adagio. The turtles, April, and all others on that world will be from the current 2012-onwards series for Nickelodeon (if you haven't watched them before, then just search for them on the web real quick to get a good look on their personal looks for this story).
Also the world, the TMNT world will be slightly AU a bit as well in this story, since I have seen the series as well. Including a warning for those that don't like switches sometimes on POV: it's happening slightly in this chapter once more, but balanced on timing, but still considered part of the TMNT world, and slightly longer than the others I done for this story so far.
I would like to mention that I do not own any franchises I write, or put into my stories, only my ideas and OC's I create. If I did the words, "W Comes the Boom" would be mainly a bomb-like enemy from Mario eating C4 doing doughnuts on someone's living room.
This chapter to others warning, also includes some minor POV changes at the end, but good timing.
Now here is some useful information here folks:
Thoughts / "Telepathy"
"Talking"
"Demon / Bad guy empowered speech"
Powerful Voices
"Whispers" = whisper chat or snake speech
Hidden meanings in words
"=Pokémon Speech="
"Spirit Weapon Chats" or Zanpakto/Keybakto chat
(Number) = at end of chapter explained.
So let's res-
(Sees Freddy Fazbear and Co. about to prank Vegita while napping.
Me: (Shakes his head no repeatedly) 'Don't do it guys.'
All Animatronics: ( All begin to shake their heads yes as they placed a glitter bomb in Vegita's room. Then run away.)
Me: (Runs away and hides as well) 'This isn't going to be good.'
Bomb goes off and hears angry yells from room.
Vegita: (Glares at everyone even readers) 'Who did that?!'
Me: (Points to Freddy and said bear notices his allies are not with him right now) 'He did it this time!'
Vegita: (Looks to me carefully and then grunts) 'Excuse me fool, got something to deal with real quick.'
Me: (Winces as he hears Freddy screaming and then get sent through a wall by Vegita) 'Well I know now to not prank Mr. Ego like that.'
Vegita: (Shows and is ticked off by comment) 'What you say fool?'
Me: (Sweats slightly and quickly says out loud) 'So let's Resume!' (Takes off as Vegita goes after me yelling fool.) )

Adagio's POV, Shopping center in the city they're at a few minutes before Lucy and Company vanished from this world:
My half-sisters and I, and surprisingly Maleficent went shopping for our niece.
It surprised us that a legendary creature based on this world's legends and myths, was at the other mall that we were planned on going to, but decided against it for some reason. A gut-like feeling I suppose, or our instincts as Sirens possibly telling us to not head to that location.
We sort-of spent a little over what we should have truly spent on Lucy, since we decided to get her something for Christmas early, well some of them thanks to Aeroza giving us a unlimited spending card he has on his person. We also chatted and got to know a little more about Maleficent, as she might be with us for quite some time; as another aunt-like figure to Lucy. I just hope Lucy would like the current gifts we got for her that was equlivent to at least four-hundred dollars in our world's money, and it was a strange bracelet with a few differently grouped marble-like stones as well to go with it. I felt it might suite her personally since the bracelet was green, her favorite color. Including a slightly bigger marble-thing as well.
As we were heading back, we all suddenly froze as a strange energy was being quickly emitted from somewhere far away; from where we were now standing. I felt both confused, and for some reason now, a sense of losing something important, and it turned out it wasn't just me as well as it was my two sisters that felt this way as well from the looks I could see.
Then all of a sudden, a portal shows up with Aeroza instead of walking out, landed on top of all of us except Maleficent, who easily dodged slightly to the right.
I winced since he landed on my ribs, and I was the one on top of the others as I shoved him off, and then helped my sisters up along with the fay-witch. We then gave him confused looks as well as the three females. It then switched to concern now, from the look of sudden realization mixed with panic at seeing us with the portal closing behind him now.
I asked him then, making him look to me with sudden guilt in his eyes. This was just not only making not only me, but the other three suspicious at this and I asked him, now crossing my arms with a look, "You look like something unexpected happened Aeroza…" I noticed a few others weren't with him at the moment as so I finally finished my question to him as he quickly gulped, making us wonder why he did so, "And where's Lucy and the others?"
Our hearts almost dropped as the saying goes as he sadly told us, rubbing the back of his head slightly, slowly standing up as if he was drained somewhat, "I thought they came with me, and I left my portal up behind. Seems I should have stayed behind and to make sure they came out it, with me." He then noticed our looks while also explaining to us what happened while he was with Lucy for only a few moments, and also then explained why he went after her.
Needless to say we were both pissed off, and now also worried for our niece, and the others that were involved. And to what he told us what happened, he should have stayed behind to make sure they came with him.
"I will take the blame for this," he responded after a few moments of awkward silence from all four of us, and we nodded as it was his fault leaving them behind at a time like that, and Aeroza continued with a hard yet determined look on his face, "I think it's a safe bet they might have ended up next to the worlds connected to this one, as a Shadow Portal randomly tosses out those that are sucked into them, into whatever random world that's near by. If I remember it might be like 'Finding needles in a haystack', as the saying goes." Maleficent then decided to speak now after observing for quite some time, and tapped her staff as well as lightly gripped it as she now asked him, knowingly as we were shocked by what his answer was, "So how many worlds are we talking that are close to this one Aeonmaster?" He sighed and responded shortly, but informative, "At least or close to thirty worlds."
I almost fainted from my shock, but I stood tall because at this moment I felt I needed to do this, for my sisters who looked to be fearful of not finding Lucy; but I stood next to them then and I gently placed calming hands on both my sibling's shoulders, and now turned to him with a determined look on my face. "How long you think we might take to find her?"
He gave us a look, and then thought of something and afterwards quickly snapped his fingers as he then stated his thoughts out loud to us, "It might be easier if we spilt-up in groups. I can easily find others to aid my search," Aeroza turned to Maleficent with him asking her then with a look as she simply nodded and also tapped her staff twice-hard on the ground. One of her dark-like portals now showed itself, as a result of her doing this.
Maleficent simply stated to not him, but us three making us look to the portal and then back to her as she spoke softly, "He's right we can find out where Lucy and the others are sooner than later if we do split-up. We will make sure Lucy will get her gifts after we find her. In fact," She waved her hand as it showed her green-magical aura, and they all vanished, our purchases, and Lucy's gifts as well into thin-air. Not noticing she briefly looked at a quick-smug grin of Aeroza as her gifts and not the Sirens new belongings were sent into her enchanted-backpack, and he only shrugged as a reply to her.
We, as in my sisters and I raised our eyebrows at Maleficent and she simply smirked without us knowing what Aeroza did... With a few personal touches that is to the gifts, as if stating something we can't make out.
The fay-witch now replied from seeing our looks, "I sent them back home, to your own house that is, and fully prepared and everything since this might take some time to search for her." We simply nodded as Sonata was then dragged by an over-worried Aria to my surprised astonishment, and dragged my middle half-sister forcibly per her surprised yelp, into the dark-like portal Maleficent conjured up. She now motioned to me, and I briefly sighed as I turned to Lucy's Grandfather with him smiling at me warmly, and I nodded as I ran into the Portal, and Maleficent was not far behind us.
Little did I know we would be world-hopping for quite some time, before we came to the right one.
Normal POV; The Turtles Lair, Underground Sewers of New York (World Name: Ninja City):
It was at least two days onwards that the group helped the four strange people that showed-up after they dealt with the Triceritrons, and also an appearance by Karai as well, who noticed the other four and simply decided to remain at least one days' time or so to see if they wake or not as well, since she was curious about them too. The only ones that woke however went back to sleep; which were the two hedgehogs, and the teen girl.
They also placed the teen girl from seeing she had bruises still on her sides as well as some stiches that needed to be redone, and Donny's surprised astonishment; once he got the stiches out as well to his confusion, they were healed, but left a scar as a result. So they moved the currently-unnamed teen girl, along with the other two hedgehogs, into Splinter's tree Dojo.
The little girl however remained in the lab as she was after a days time, running a fever. So Donnie as the medic at this very moment, was tending to the child while annualizing her blood through his machine, to see what she might be as well.
Both their Master Splinter; who was at least seven or so feet tall, and was mainly a humanoid-looking rat in a red-like Japanese kimono and a small white beard under his chin, stroked as he was curious from what might be something unexpected to once more strike his family. He was right now leaning against a wall, as his sons did what they usually do most of their free time.
His eldest, Leonardo, was meditating, and his second eldest, Raphael, was punching a sand-bag he made himself in his chambers. His youngest, Michelangelo, was playing videogames with Raphael's best friend, Casey Jones, who was a black-haired teen that wore mostly hockey equipment with other objects and had two missing front teeth. April was in the other chamber with the tree he grew years ago, as she was told by him to make sure to watch if the other three would wake-up, and come and tell all of them if so that way they could find out some information on to how they arrived, to which they took shifts to relieve others.
Splinter could also strangely sense that they were not from here at all, or in this case from what he is also feeling, this world for that matter. The rat mutant did read some time ago from a book that was dropped about the theory of alternate worlds a few months back from one of his rare strolls through the sewers. Not the same kind of world like theirs, but other types with their own places and other things.
If my hunch is correct, then the book I read might be true about the multi-world theory. It was a good reading material that I found, but non-the-less these four might need our help. It's no mere coincidence this has happened after we defeated the Triceratrons. We just need to hear from the three since they appear to be better than the little girl at this moment, which to; in thanks my smartest son is that the child is making more progress than the others at the moment in healing. Splinter thought long to himself.
After a few minutes, he was thinking of going to meditate now as well at his chambers until April quickly came out of the tree dojo and then shouted, making everyone to turn to her except Donatello, who was with the little girl in the laboratory still, watching her progress. "They woke up just right now guys, and they want to talk to us!"
Nodding to himself, Splinter went along with the others into the dojo-area and took notice that they were sitting up with looks of curiosity on the two female's faces, but on the males, slightly suspicious and also somewhat guarded. It was as if he experienced being threatened or anything as such before, maybe in a stranger's house as well from what Splinter observed quickly.
The teen girl with red and yellow hair as well as blue eyes and slightly yellow skin tone, now asked them curiously; but had a look in her eyes as well that he could tell she was worried over something, including his two sons Raph and Leo, "I don't usually state the obvious, but who are you guys…And where is my daughter Lucy?" That got them all to seemed surprised by this, but some of the others like the teens only showed it, as Casey to his amusement, had a gapping jaw, and so did his youngest.
"Your daughter Miss?" Questioned Leonardo to the teen girl in a slightly deep teenage tone with a hint of crispiness to it. It was from his older fight with the Shredder of course that changed his voice during the Kraang invasion of New York.
She simply nodded and quickly noticed they didn't introduce themselves. They seemed to hidden their surprise as they soon realized she didn't seem bothered by their looks, mainly Splinter and his three sons. "I'm sorry to be rude without saying my own name. My name is Sunset Shimmer, and these two are my daughter's godparents: Amy Rose, and Shadow." She motioned to the hedgehog's and Amy simply waved at them, and Shadow simply scoffed; thus making Raphael mad at that, but kept it down for this moment since this time, it was about getting information, not violence... to his dismay that is.
Splinter decided the three could be trusted enough, and simply gave them all warm smiles on his face as he then began to introduce himself, making the others get a hint as well in a English-slanted Japanese tone that dictated he was at least the eldest here, "My name is Splinter or Hamato Yoshi, I am not only their sensei, but I am a father to four sons; four turtles. If you can see only three, Donatello is with your daughter as we speak, making sure she is feeling alright and better." They noticed the girl had a worried look on her face, and Mikey, simply showed-up behind her, making her jump with a minor startled expression after using one of the egg-smoke bombs he still kept around him, simply grinning at friendly now to her in a younger yet young males tone that seemed slightly ditsy a bit, somewhat like a surfers you might find on a beach, "The names Mikey, I'm the awesomeness one dudette, so don't fret. Donny is the smartest one of us, and a good medic as well."
Sunset seemed relieved at this, but only slightly as they continued their name calls. Raph was nudged since he was next and mumbled loud enough for the three to hear, crossing his arms as he then went afterwards to lean against a wall, "Raphael." Leonardo, simply bowed to them, making them get a surprised look out of him doing that and he simply stated maturely for his age, "My name is Leonardo, Leo if you also want to call me by that name." The two females nodded as they noticed the pink hedgehog gave a small tint to her cheeks from the way he spoke.
Finally the two human teens then introduced themselves, as the male placed an arm around the red-head girl who then playfully shoved him back briefly as they stated their names to the three. "My name is April O'Neil, and this lug-head of a hockey player is Casey Jones." She motioned a thumb to said teen who looked to her slightly astonished she didn't let him introduce himself to them his own way.
Sunset simply smiled at this as she shifted to get more comfortable as they noticed they were in a dojo of some kind, a Japanized themed one at that with a tree behind them in the background to not only hers, but the other two's hidden surprise.
Back to the matter at hand though, April then asked curiously since she noticed Sunset's current age and the little girls, Lucy, at least they now knew what her name is now, "So if your Lucy's mother…How old were you when you… You know.." She trailed off as she was hesitant to finish her question to Sunset with small gestures, who quickly understood what April meant. She blushed at the meaning as well as Sunset quickly waving her hands slightly, and then quickly answered truthfully making them confused, "No, no it's not like that way, she adopted me, herself, from her own magic." Splinter then looked to Sunset and then questioned her as if his theory was right from what he thought earlier, "Magic, Miss Shimmer?" She nodded to him as she felt they could be trusted, and told her story, well the story that involved her daughter.
Needless to say, they were shocked and inwardly angered by what the little girl went through before their arrival. But from the power she described, seemed to be too good to be anything but fiction.
After Sunset was done explaining everything, they had looks to which she couldn't describe as they absorbed this information to themselves, and simply looked to each other and nodded as they now smiled to them all warmly, true smiles that is, and Casey simply smirked instead of doing that.
Suddenly they all then heard a pain-filled scream coming from the direction of Donatello's lab that was very familiar to Sunset, and to their surprise Donny's yelp for help came as well. They noticed Sunset seemed worried about something as she struggled to get up yet seeing that she was still weak, Leonardo helped her up, and she blushed from the contact. Shadow did the same by helping her up as well. Amy was also then helped up by both Raph and Casey to the direction quickly as they could, to the lab.
Once they got there, everyone but Sunset was shocked at the site, since it happened before on her watch of her daughter; a day after she recovered from the ordeal of not only being sick, but from what Aizen did to her.
All the equipment was either floating around and moving slightly with untold power, and it was making Donatello grab onto a pole against a wall he placed, since he too was floating upwards. He seemed to be freaked out as the little girl was tossing as well as turning, in her fitful sleep.
It was then Donny now noticed the others, and the three that were awake as well as he finally sighed in relief to himself, and then stated in a smart-like tone since he had a bigger IQ then his siblings, and had a both relived and worried look for the little girl to them as he stated loudly, "I don't know what happened. One minute I was checking her bloodwork to see if anything was ok, and since she was feverish I placed a cold washcloth on her forehead. She then suddenly was screaming and then began moving like this as some unknown energy lifted everything including me up as you guys can see... And can you guys help me out here!" The turtle mutant then exclaimed to them at the end.
Sunset was very concerned as Lucy was starting to have a rash from what she saw on her forehead from where the cloth was placed on her, and asked him as the magic to her guess, suddenly began to slowly descend now, and making him sigh once more as to their surprise everything was back to the way it was before it happened. "That water wouldn't happen to be from a church would it?" Sunset noticed his look of shock on his face as he simply asked slowly, but slightly suspicious to her, "How would you know that? It was the only water I could salvage at the time for medical use."
Everyone turned to her as Sunset then calmly went up to Lucy and gently stroked her hair in a motherly way with a slight limp in her step, and simply looked to them all before replying anything; as she looked to Lucy once more and stated honestly, "She's is somehow allergic to holy water, onions, and pumpkins. That's why I'm asking if that's holy water you used." Now that information stumped them, but Splinter slightly understood as to why since they were not from here at all.
Splinter then went up to Sunset and surprised her briefly as he placed a hand on her left-shoulder, making her look to him as he saw a honest mothers love in her eyes to the girl on the table who wasn't moving as much, but was doing it in smaller amounts from Sunset's presence. "It seems we need to get Lucy here some water from our sinks Donatello. We don't want whatever happened to happen again now do we?" He turned to the smart turtle mutant, who gulped as he didn't like how that felt at all, and yes his ears are slightly ringing at the amount of screams the little girl could muster earlier as somehow help finally came somewhat after five minutes of Lucy then fritting in her sleep.
Donatello nodded a firm yes without words now to his father/sensei as he quickly grabbed Mikey who was now protesting, and made him help him get some sink water to use instead, but decided on making it sterile like his batch from the church.
Splinter noticed his other pupil, April, was looking at the little girl now with to what they saw altogether, the child was now sighing in contempt from the continuous strokes of her hair from her adopted mother. It was as if pondering something, like April somewhat knew Lucy from somewhere before, like he noticed, after they arrived. Splinter simply motioned for April to stay here and the others to leave.
Not known to him, this slightly surprised the girl in question, But there was no complaints as he now gave the others a look, and took the hint to leave as quickly as they could. He inwardly chuckled to himself as he knew that "Look" he sometimes used when he was serious would get them to listen. Splinter softened his face then as he also turned to April now, and he at the same time grabbed three chairs for them all to sit, which also included Sunset as Splinter was sure she wasn't going to be leaving the room anytime soon.
The two hedgehogs were reluctant, but left as well seeing Sunset's face as such and then decided for themselves to see about where they were currently now.
"Now that we are alone April, why does it seem you somehow know this child, Lucy, if I remember by name Miss Shimmer?" He questioned to Sunset last as he was looking at April before he did so, and she nodded as April now looked to the two; Splinter and Sunset, and then briefly gazed lastly to the little girl with April now also furrowing her eyebrows while she spoke, "I don't know why I feel like this Sensei. It just feels... Like I somehow known about her, and yet not at the same time. I don't know why I would know this as it is only a very strange feeling I have, but its as if i knew her before now." Splinter understood this as he began to quickly think. Now deciding in his own thoughts that his student, April, might be referring to her meeting the child, Lucy, at a younger age and most likely not also remembering since she might have been young at the time.
Splinter simply smiled at her now, making April now looked confused as the rat mutant now simply stated with a smile, as his eyes was then closed when he spoke, "I think you might have met Lucy when you were younger April. I have a funny feeling we might know as to why that is soon." He glanced at his third child's lab-doors with his eyes briefly and then back to them.
Now this confused the two teen girls as he chuckled inwardly from their looks. Splinter was then right after a few moments as both his youngest son and Donatello, now came into the room with sterilized sink water. Donatello quickly tossed the old cloth away, then dunked and then placed a new one on Lucy's forehead from the small bucket the water was in.
Donatello then went back to his customized computer after a loud single beep of something being done with words that sounded 'ScanningWas Complete' in large letters on the PC monitor, and when he checked, the smart turtle quickly froze in pure undulated shock. He also had wide eyes in slight disbelieve as he now turned to the three and Mikey before he did a quicker scan once more, and it still was the same confirmation sound. "I checked twice now, and for some reason April, she's related to you as a Biological Cousin."
If you all could hear a pin dropping at this moment, which would be all you would hear as they took notice that the others returned briefly as well to ask Splinter something I suppose, and froze over that information as well as Sunset who had wide eyes at this.
April was about to reply to what she thought to that sudden news by Donny, until they heard a slight cough. Everyone turned to the man behind the others from the entrance to Donnie's lab. It was April's father, Kirby O'Neil. He had a curious look on his face as he then looked to the ones he knew before noticing anything else, "Hi guys. I hope April hasn't been causing trouble ever.. Since…" He trailed off as he looked on in shock not at Sunset, but at the sleeping girl, Lucy. April's father then stated slightly loud to himself, making everyone turn to him with confusion and shock at this statement, "Lucy Potter?"
April was suddenly suspicious since the teenager knew most of her relatives by heart, and now asked her dad with April also crossing her own arms since her father, Kirby, turned to her as the male knew they were being observed by everyone in the room at this point; besides the still unconscious Lucy, "Dad, how do you know Lucy?" He simply sighed, and looked to them all and then mainly at his daughter with a complicated look on his face.
Kirby then began to place one of his hands into his pants pocket, and opened his wallet once he grabbed it. This made April confused to why he was doing this until her father pulled a folded-up picture that was delicately folded in kindness out, and he then carefully gave it to his only child, April, and then simply stated; although she already knew this part thanks to Donny. "She is your cousin, but from her age I think you would have been at least a few years younger than her as you are now, if I'm right. If we stayed back home that is…" He trailed off as she was not only shocked at this information, but what was in the picture.
It was Lucy's mother and biological father: Her real mother. April's mother was also in the picture as well as her father abet slightly younger then he is right now. She also took noticed that Lucy's mother; who was holding her child, Lucy, at the time, and had the same hair as him but slightly darker red color for the hair. Lucy's mother wore the same along with her husband, strange robes of some-kind, and her father wore a black suite and her mother a formal gown that showed herself briefly and it was colored blue. April also noticed some others or more-like strangers that seem familiar to the teen that were in this picture, making it believe to her it was a group photo of some-kind.
One woman wore mainly black and had black, ring-like horns on her head, and green skin with light-green eyes. She also had a staff with a somewhat amused bird of some kind on it looking at the happy little girl. She also noticed April was in it, but at least three years of age, and being carried by her father on his back. There were also two males behind Lucy's parents which had shaggy-like hair; one being pure black with black-like colored eyes and the other was tan-haired and looked like he needed a shave to get rid of the growing trim-like beard. Besides her father from the strange woman was near her mother in the front; near Lucy's mother, was few other people as well. One looked to be at least a strange silver-haired male in a loyal-like kimono and two swords connected to his waist with amber-colored eyes, and to what April could tell, a lavender or navy-blue crescent moon tattoo of some kind on his forehead. Another looked to be a strangely armored male with strange eyes, pure-white hair, and was grinning in the photo (Aeroza of course). There was at least twenty or so others in this picture, making her head swirl slightly with sudden questions, as the others as she passed them the photo to everyone, including the adopted mother to Lucy by magic; if April remembered Sunset stating that.
"That was the last picture we all took of our family-like group together... Before something happened, making us split apart, and somehow ended up in other worlds. Your mother and I; which also I might add, included you in this one." Kirby answered his daughter to what he might of thought was the question on everyone's minds at this moment. Making everyone to look to him.
Kirby then continued as his eyes also glazed slightly over as if he was reliving some memories to himself with him then also quietly stating to April's shock, "Yes it has been a while since I was told by Aeroza, who was the only one to avoid that spell being casted on us all; Making us either forget or to those like me and your mother to keep our memories as well." To their shock and surprise as well, he then had a harsh-like glare on his face and also noticed as Kirby then explained briefly, "It was thanks to the vessel of someone tainted, Dumbledore, that did that. He didn't want any of us to interfere with Lucy at all after we recently found out about his so-called prophecy, about her. So not only myself knew about his true nature, so did your mother and a few others as well, including Lucy's mother as she changed the will in secret for her daughter's benefit, since she truly lost James to him. She could only try and blend-in to make sure he didn't report his own wife out. All because of a stupid false prophecy he created. In fact we are really related as Evans, and not O'Neil's at all, April."
April then asked her father then a question after he let it sit in their minds for a few moments as April also was still in shock from what mostly everyone could see clearly on her face, "What's my-my name then?" "Your name April," he sadly stated to her as the others gave him looks, "Is really April Liliana Evans; Named after my younger sister Lily, and who was Lucy's mother and also your godmother, at the time."
Sunset gave April's father as she could tell from the resemblance a look of sympathy on her face as Kirby noticed her finally and his glare softened to a real look of acceptance as he then was wide-eyed now from closely looking at Lucy from his spot, and then asked slightly out loud in stunned surprise, "What happened to my goddaughter?" Sunset sighed as she then carefully explained everything to him as to their surprise when finished; he pounded the table that was near him hard, and muttered a few words that sounded like 'Damn him'.
Then Kirby looked to them kindly right then and there and also quietly stated to them all, looking mainly at Lucy now, "I suggest we wait until she wakes up, because if what I think is right; she will remember us, even you April. If I recall, you and her were truly close; like real sisters even." April's eyes softened at this as she turned to Sunset, who simply nodded and gently scooted a few inches to allow April to be next to her now. April hesitated, and then gently grabbed Lucy's hand and was surprised as she then got a minor response back from the little girl by a slight squeeze from hers, but it was somewhat strong but not too strong to break her own hand.
Everyone then headed out as Kirby stayed along with April, and Splinter rose from his seat and was about to leave until Lucy's tail suddenly moved as well as grabbed his and then held him back, and of course he was shocked as he turned and also noticed it was very strong for being a tail on her, unlike his which he mainly uses to his advantage in combat. Then it let go as it now wrapped around April's left-arm now for a few moments and then mainly stayed on Sunset Shimmer's.
Sunset noticed their looks of confusion as she now gently stated to those that remained in the room, which also included Donnie since he was rechecking the little girls vitals once more to make sure Lucy is steady, "Her tail only does that when she is sleeping. It is kinda both amusing and also annoying when you want to head to your own room to sleep. It only does that when she has a nightmare of some kind, or something else triggers it." Sunset then got a bemused expression on her face as she then added on to what she was saying in some humor to her own tone, "She also doesn't know that her tail either tends to whack her on the head, or wraps around someone's arm when Lucy is nearby to those she's close to."
They simply nodded as they might get more information later on. Noticing Sunset was tired, April was about to leave until the tail now decided on all its own, re-latched to her left-arm and this time when April touched it so she could remove said tail, the little girl began to lightly whimper.
Sunset quickly stated softly to her, making April to look at her with a raised eyebrow, "I suggest you stay for while. It means if you end up leaving while her tail remains on you from my experience, she would be screaming, and end up with her moving erratically as we need to calm her down again."
April now turned to Splinter who was wondering why that was as she answered him to which her answer was making him both ponder and confused at the same time in his own thoughts, "If you guys must know its a Saiyan trait from her father's bloodline she got; mainly the young children. And basically they are were-apes like aliens that change into a 60-70 ft. gorilla-like monsters from the sight of that of a true full moon to their eyes. Luckily she is immune to that. That's why her tail is remaining and not cut-off; for safety reasons, because I didn't even want to do that to her, as well as the others." April nodded as Lucy's backpack began to glow, making those that remained there in the room with her get curious as Sunset opened it and they discovered Lucy's book. Confused since the gapes were still glowing now, but less so, she opened it. April discovered to herself right there and then on the chapter that read 'Saiyans'.
They all read the entire chapter, and had the very same reactions to the Sirens did when first reading it. Well Splinter kept his under complete control, but he began to ponder even more from the useful information to that race. Though at that time, Donny decided with permission to head-out with his brothers an hour during Sunset explaining things to get-rid of some stress.
April looked to Lucy, as Sunset closed the book and was now holding it on her lap and then simply stated to them softly, as she also then rubbed the little girls arm nearby briefly in comfort as Sunset noticed her twitching, "So if what you told us, and what the book showed us is true, then that would mean Lucy here is sort-of a power housed little girl." Sunset and the other three nodded in agreement. She hesitated and spoke to them quietly, but enough to hear her as she softly stated with Sunset rubbing Lucy's head a bit as well, "She also has some other traits from what her three aunts are, since were not back on our world I think... it's safe to tell you guys a little bit about me and them."
So in secret, April dialed Leonardo's number since she muted the sound to do so earlier; since April felt it might be like this for some very odd reason, and in turn outside at a abandoned skate-park to where the guys and Casey went to, they listened in on the call and was shocked at what they were hearing from what Sunset was, and how everything truly led up to now. It kept them busy as they kept skating, but it took a full hour or two to finish.
"So let me get this straight: Some enemies are after Lucy in her own world and off it?" April confirmed to Sunset after she was done. Sunset nodded to her as she stroked Lucy's hair once more before stifling a yawn once again, and Splinter took quick notice. He then tapped his cane on the solid ground, startling Sunset as he warmly responded with a gentle smile, "I believe since it is late, we might have more to talk later on once your rested Miss Shimmer." She smiled tiredly at him and agreed
Sunset then got up, and April tried as well as they all looked amused at not only Lucy's tail was doing; holding onto her still, but she looked to them for begging since she truly didn't want to sleep like this, but April then got a defeated look as Splinter then spoke to her being amused, stroking his beard as well, "Seems I will have Donatello to go fetch some bedding for you to rest April. I will let your father know what is going on and then tell him everything since he is also your family, all three of yours." He mainly stated the last part from his words as he then left before they could say anything to him, and closed the doubled-doors of the lab.
Kirby showed up a few minutes later as he then simply hugged his daughter with one arm, and kissed her forehead, knowing she might be staying the night and smiled at her before leaving back to his home; their apartment home that is.
Sunset was now sheepishly looking at April who also grinned small at her after mostly everyone went their ways or looking things up with help, and simply shrugged as to Aprils surprise, Sunset hugged her briefly in a friendly way and then simply said to her kindly, "Goodnight April. If she wakes up just tell her I'm sleeping right outside this room or someplace near, OK?" April's eyes softened at this since she knew Sunset was still worried about Lucy and simply nodded as said teenager then smiled once more before leaving.
April now turned to the sleeping girl as she too yawned briefly, but was only slightly tired but not by much though, and simply waited for Donnie to show.
April then thought all of the information she heard from not only Sunset Shimmer tonight, but from Lucy's book which was now lying on the small fold-up table next to her. I just can't believe my parent's didn't originally come from this world... Well worldly dimension that is if what I heard was right. She looked to Lucy as she only shifted only a little as she also gave a small smile in her sleep, Lucy's tail wrapping a tiny amount now on her currently tail-wrapped arm, but in comfort to April's surprise and thought some more as well about her cousin.
April was surprised as she recalled from what her father stated that she was to be at least three years older than Lucy in real life, but from what she could tell Lucy was at least nine years of age or even younger then that by her appearance. Even though we just simply met again after a long time from what dad explained briefly during Sunset's talk, and the time-frame as well in the world of hers and ours right now as well. But I can't help feeling things might be exciting from now on besides my previous adventures with the guys. She was thinking of this while stroking Lucy's hair, and then was quickly surprised Lucy briefly purred like a house cat while sleeping, making April being slightly amused at this.
To her surprise however, the book began glowing as if waiting on her to open it, now.
April thought to herself for a few moments before her curiosity finally won over and grabbed it off the table and opened it to find out to her shock some information, useful by the looks to what she was now reading as April glanced at Lucy after reading what the chapter read, since it was called: "Heritages and the Heart". It manly told her why Lucy was given the powers and bloodlines as it was her heritage from being a royal, making her wonder if that was why as well, and since the book was opened to her shocked eyes, it glowed as the words quickly changed then to another new kind of chapter. I think the book responds to what I need to know while either thinking or asking it. She thought quickly as April noticed the chapter title, and read it to herself.
Not known to the female teen, the book responded easily to April as she is blood-related like the three Sirens to the little girl; Adagio, Sonata, and Aria. So it was a secret by Aeroza himself that those truly blood-related would be truly trusted as such by the book, or even those that the owner, Lucy, would allow for them to view into the infinite pages it holds.
The book kept changing into new chapters for April to read that was not only about Lucy though, but about the worlds and the Inner Heart, and some things to her surprise about her, making April to briefly look at the crystal she received from the aliens while space-traveling with her friends. If it wasn't important, why did they give it to me since I feel more powerful sometimes while using it? It did help with our last adventure though.
The book now glowed once again, but a blue color like her crystal tends to glow sometimes, surprising April as she noticed the chapter and then almost dropped the book in fear as well as slight shock after seeing it. But she slowly picked it up, well struggled to pick it up since Lucy was slightly whimpering from her tail almost leaving her arm, and April then sighed in relief as Lucy went back to a peaceful sleep.
April's hands were now on the chapter, titled: "History of the Aeon Crystal, and Other True Power Within", and she began to read it to herself like she done with the others, not knowing how late it was. Once she read the entire chapter which was at least twelve pages long, since it was shortened to make her understand in human terms, April now had tears in her eyes yet kept them at bay.
April now looked to the crystal itself and it pulsed as if it now knew she knows its story. Za-Naron, I know you can hear my thoughts. If you agree to my terms then maybe we could help each other, since I want to be in control, and maybe you can help me with my powers. I want to do this for the right reasons, and besides I think this book of Lucy's is more as it seems. I want to do this as I'm thinking right now because of not only Lucy, but because of my friends and family. Plus I don't know where that person who did that to you and your friends could be at all. To April's hidden shock, she got a swift response back... in a somewhat friendly response from a mature-like women's voice in her head, "It seems I will have to agree with you April O'Neil-Evans, I accept the terms of wording. For you see I was also looking into your cousin's mind and discovered that she is a wielder, and if you agree we can meet her either now, or later on."
April now hesitated, speaking to Lucy now would be good but she knew that it might take some time to get to know her once more as a sister-like cousin since she just recently re-met her, and simply thought back to Za-Naron, I think the 'Later' option is better, since I want her to be rested well before we greet each other from inside our hearts. If you haven't noticed by now, her tail is still wrapped around me... or should I say us, since you still around my neck? She then simply heard laughing from her thoughts to the crystal in response and it was then silent once more.
April then decides to take a nap until Donnie got into his room for her bedding, and instantly passed out. Not seeing from Lucy's bag a small snake-like creature of sorts, slip-out and went to cause some mischief since she was currently bored.
The next day however for April was strange to say the least as she woke up to her surprise as April was covered in a blue blanket, and her head was on a pillow, but that's not what mainly woke her up quickly though: Lucy was now awake and was staring at her in familiarity in those eyes of hers, which were strangely emerald like April's, but with rune-like symbols in them. Lucy was also looking down and back to her as April then noticed she and her were floating in the air, even with the blanket and pillow as well.
They both quickly screamed as they then fell down, and April grabbed Lucy who was surprised at this and used her body for the landing, making a small thud sound with also making April groan in small pain, as the crystal around her neck, Lucy noticed, saved them somewhat by cushioning the fall for them both. April looked to her cousin then as she simply asked her in concern on her features, "Are you Ok?"
Lucy's POV:
I looked in shock as I saw to what I considered my true cousin. I hadn't seen her for a long, long time since I had a photographic-like memory even before I met my aunts, take me into her arms and quickly somehow cushioned me when we landed back on the ground, since we were at least a couple feet or so in the air; since I then noticed this was a lab and I quickly looked back to her. April then asked me with a concerned tone as well as look, checking me all over as well, "Are you OK?"
I simply nodded to her and then asked her, surprising my cousin as well, "April, where are we? Last I remember is fighting that man that hurt my Mommy." I noticed her brief dark look on that, but it changed to looking back to me in relief as well as to herself I guess, and April then answered me with her also rubbing the back of her head. April was also sitting up as well, since I was currently now on her lap at this moment, "Well Lucy to tell you where you are, we're in the lair where my friends live, and my Sensei Splinter as well. You been out for at last three or so days Lucy, and your Mom should be up as well I think because if you smell right now, breakfast is being cooked."
I did as I was told; since I was shocked inside that I had passed out that long, and sniffed the air.
My mouth now began watering from what I smelled from the food, as it was familiar. It smelled like chocolate-chip pancakes; as to them being one of my few favorites for eating, in the morning.
April noticed my expectant look on my face really quick, and as she was about to comment to me in humor until my stomach now growled very loudly, and I then blushed in embarrassment to her, to which she simply giggled at. April then helped both of us to stand up, and I re-took my notice on the crystal around her neck and then randomly asked her, which in turn made her look at me weirdly but in April's eyes to be in slight shock to what I asked, "How come I sense a person in there, Star?"
April was about to respond to that question yet she then paused at what I just called her. We both didn't know however, the crystal pulse slightly at what I mentioned in shock, and April then titled her head to me a few moments later, as we began to fold the stuff. April though without my notice, saw that I was somehow fully healed and my tail waving back and forth in happiness. "Star?"
I turned to her after I surprised her at how quickly I folded my blanket I used for the last three days, and simply nodded with a happy smile on my features to her, "Ya. You always chatted about the stars to me when I was only six months, and for some reason... I could talk already in somewhat full sentences back then, so I could chat with you as well. The name kinda stuck."
I then saw her eyes now softened at this as April looked to be finally remembering that time, and she then softly smiled as well at the same time, begin to hug me gently as well. I unknowingly flinched when my cousin did this since I was still not used to hugs all this time, as April also paused in two emotions I didn't see, until I quickly hugged her back.
April was making a glare behind my back as she was also thinking of dealing with three bothersome family members back at her old home world, to which Mommy explained about as well to them earlier last night. Though mostly the two males.
Meanwhile, Back at Lucy's home world (Lost Avalon); Brief Normal POV:
Three certain family members sneezed while in the theater behind some biker-gang since they were in America for some time as a vacation, as well as Petunia to keep her act up as she would soon leave, and the three then fled for their lives as they also ran all the way back to the hotel they were staying at; away from the angry bikers who were for some reason, to be able to be pissed easily at stuff like this.
Later on the person, Vernon, walked all the way back since it was only five or so blocks away from the motel, to find his rental-car trashed slightly with him also cuss up a storm.
Not known to them, Aeroza had them in secret, in a dream-like time-loop spell of sorts. The very spell itself is also very powerful to use on said mortals, even mortal kin to his sad gaze at Petunia. He himself knew what curse that caused her own natural beauty to be turned into a horse-like woman all this time. Though he did as they would be sleeping as well as the city of Canterlot, until he brings everyone back to Lost Avalon with ease.
He was also lucky the girls bought his excuses of staying within his mansion as currently everyone they know is in that very spell as of two days ago in real life, yet only one day in real time as he also paused time to make sure this happens. He is just hoping they don't find-out themselves, otherwise they would most likely from what he knew of two certain Human Elements of Harmony, to make pranks for the folks as the are immune to said spell.
Not known to the man though, they already did so by Pinkie's hyperness as a result. As well as they were also secretly dealing with someone... darker then they would of liked as well at the same time, until the spell finally lifts.
Back to the Current World; Lucy's POV:
We pulled apart now as we were then going to exit the lab, but I now paused as I sensed something or a certain someone was slithering her way all over the place in preparations for a prank as I can tell from our 'Pet-Bond' I like to call it.
April was confused as I was then looking all over the lab her friend owns, and found the culprit, Zera, painting over some kind of duffel-bag of sorts with some rips and tears on it in a hot-pink color with words 'Red-Masked Turtle's Sucks', whatever that means. I shrugged to myself as I then grabbed her; to make my pet hiss at me in surprise.
I didn't hear my cousin at all as she then froze at the mere sight of my familiar, and then slightly stuttered as if in slight shock from simply seeing her, pointing at Zera who made both of us confused, "What is-is that Lucy? How did a-a-a strange snake get in-in here!"
I frowned at her response as Zera hissed at me amused by April's antics of not seeing what she truly was, and looked to me while she hissed as well, "Hatchling, she isn't that bright now isn't she, with her seeing a snake as wonderful as I am right away." I gave my pet a look and now hissed back to April's shocked look to me now, seeing as I can talk to Zera easily, "Be nice Zera. She is what I considered my True Cousin then the boy I told you about." Zera only nodded in comply to this as she then simply motioned to my backpack, and I nodded. She quickly went inside it without fuss this time, without me noticing Zera secretly used her magic to re-attach that fools bag after a rude comment about him from his younger sibling, back in his chambers and left it like it wasn't tampered with.
I then turned to April as she was still currently stunned in minor shock, and I briefly told my cousin to see she also had a lot of questions now, but decided best for later I suppose as April then escorted us out of her friends laboratory now.
We were now after leaving the lab; as we were now in some kind of huge living room area with the latest gaming devices in one corner with a slightly large TV hooked up to them, a circle-like couch that seemed to have seen better days yet seems to be completely fixed-up, and a few other things as well as some arcade machines I didn't recognize. There was even a pinball machine that showed a franchise I didn't know about.
It seems that I was gaping for some time as April closed gently my mouth for me, making me turned to her as April now stated to me with a gentle smirk on her face before I can ask, "Yes this is also part of my friends home Lucy. So if you're ready to eat we could probably see them all in the kitchen, since the others might now show up later on today." April also brushed my hair then by using her powers to getting to what I think was her own brush, making me look calmer somewhat as I nodded.
I was honestly scared slightly; since I was not nervous about April, but from my past experiences of meeting others still... makes me like that.
My cousin now led me then by the hand to my surprise, to a wide-area kitchen. It was filled with modern or accustomed-made junk fused appliances as well in there. I also took notice as I didn't know I yelped softly and then hid quickly behind April, making her look to me in both confusion and concern as the others that were currently awake and also eating the food on their plates noticed me now.
It was then after a moment I briefly looked out from behind my cousin, and I saw four turtles that wore four different colored masks, and a giant rat-man in a red dress. Seems the one on the orange eye-hole mask was looking at me in both confusion and slight happiness, while the one wearing a purple eye-hole mask was looking at me smartly and had a brief look of amusement at my antics. The red one I noticed as well as the blue one both gave me softer eyes of sympathy, but the red one also had a small scowl on his face like my Aunt Aria sometimes or mainly has on hers, and I noticed they have somewhat the same eyes, the blue and purple one had brown eyes, and orange had blue, and the red one had normal green eyes. He also had to my amazement, scars on some parts I can see on his body as if he was a expert on fighting; as I also then noticed that the four turtles were humanoid, and had gear on them as well or more like weapons of some kind.
The rat-man however gave me looks of understanding from what I just did, and he also seemed to be older then the turtles and my cousin as well. He simply nodded at our direction, and motioned for us to sit down. He then stated softly to both of us, kindly I might add, "Please, April and Lucy, sit down and join us as we have plenty to spare."
At this time my stomach rumbled once again by the same gurgle-like tone, and everyone froze at this until the three turtles pointed at the orange one, and back to April who I was still behind at the moment now. The red one stated to the orange one, "Mikey, I think we have a person who can compete on the loudest stomach roar here!" He was laughing, and this comment made the orange one, Mikey as I know now, to blush as I peeked a little more and they noticed as I yelped softly again and then hid behind April once more.
"Seems to me she's shy to new people guys." Commented the purple masked one, as I took a look once more. I was then startled by my cousin who simply smiled and lead me to a chair near the rat-man, and an empty one which she took, and forced me to sit down. I gulped now as I noticed the expectant looks they gave me, and April also gave me a look of concern once again as the crystal pulsed confusedly to which I noticed briefly as well, but I was frozen for a second until my stomach rumbled again, making them know I was not only shy right now, but clearly hungry.
It was at that point the rat-man introduced himself, sensing how scared and shy I was right now; making me somewhat calmer since I began to learn their names, "My name child is Splinter, and these are my four sons," He began to point to each of them one by one, starting with the blue one, "This is Leonardo, the eldest, and next to him is Raphael, and Donatello, and finally my youngest, Michelangelo." They each greeted me in their own ways up till Mikey then offered me his hand, which I hesitantly took. I was shocked as right then and there, my magic showed itself once more, because of him having a hand-buzzer in his hand that made a small jolt from the touch, surprising me.
A cloud appeared now above Mikey's head, making the others confused at this, as he then asked after a few moments, "Why you guys staring at me like that?" Splinter mainly pointed above his head as the cloud changed to pink now, and he indeed tilted his head to look upwards to only be splashed by chocolate milk. Once he was covered in the milk, it vanished.
It was a few moments of sudden pause as then suddenly, the three turtle boys began to laugh at him, and April had to suppress a chuckle, but not the crystal since it seemed amused from what my magic accidentally did to him. Splinter, even though this was amusing, noticed my face of fear at what I did, and he then shouted one word which I was confused at, "Yame." They suddenly stopped laughing and noticed my current look and then they changed the topic rather quickly as they also then began to serve a heaping pile of pancakes, to which I thought was small since it was only one serving. But to their shock as they began to eat, paused as it was gone in an instant.
It was at that time as April or one of the turtles was about to ask, Mommy quietly came into the kitchen. She gave an amused smile on her face to them all, making us turn to her, and me with happiness and slight tears in my eyes as well, "She tends to eat more then you know it. Trust me since I saw her eating at least twenty-three lunch trays back at my school." Mommy then fell down on the ground in a surprised 'oomph' sound as I speed-hugged her and mommy only laughed gently, but winced at the force I was giving it, but didn't say anything as she clearly knew why because I mumbled in her shirt she wore in that day with her now gently as well as soothingly rubbed my back and hair. Making those in the room confused at this until she looked to them and sighed.
Mommy then told them what almost happened to her while my eyes were currently closed in happiness now. Needless to say they understood as Splinter looked at both adopted mother and daughter with both happiness, and also sympathy at the situation with what Mommy explained almost sounding the same as well back a few months ago that involved him and his kids; since she didn't explain that part of her tale to them, as in secret, Sunset does have nightmares of nearly dying in secret. Even more-so at the formal she herself caused a lot of damage towards to.
I sniffled as I stopped crying after a few minutes and she only gave me a warm smile still on her face, and then brushed my hair once more as well as asked kindly to me to which was making me now look into her eyes, "Better now Lucy?" I nodded small as she then re-lead me back to my seat, and then sat across from me. Mommy then served herself some food.
It was at this point my magic acted up again since I was craving more food, began to multiply the very food behind us to that of the amount of which I can eat. Mikey noticed and his mouth was opened at seeing his food he made was now being multiplied, and Donny as he too was frozen at what my magic did to the food as well as the others besides Mommy; as she was once again amused as well as began eating, and then whispered into his ear (I think they have them, but hidden), "Bro, you seeing what I'm seeing, right?" Donnie only nodded without words as I then sniffed the air, and quickly turned to look behind me and they took noticed my mouth watering.
They all then turned to Mommy who sighed now, and explained some more as I got up and got more food as well. "This has happened before. If there wasn't enough to go around for her, Lucy's own magic would automatically act up to multiply the food she truly needs to ingest for her to maintain a healthy diet, from what the Saiyans tend eat, I had to guess." She shrugged at the end, and when I came back with mostly all but Splinter's mouths were now gaping at how much food was on one small plate. Splinter's response however, was breif wide eyes.
Needless to say they wouldn't forget my eating habits when I'm truly hungry like a Saiyan would be now.
After we cleaned up with myself helping of course, we all sat down in the living room, as we at least saved enough food for my two godparents who were still sleeping in the room to which they were forced to share together to much of their ire. I burped small and cutely as I also blushed and simply and subtly stated to them, "Excuse me." They chuckled lightly at this, and then Splinter decided today would be all but relaxation so Lucy might get a chance to know his family better, along with April. He then spoke up, making us all turn to him, "I think today we will have a chance to relax, but as of right now, no leaving the lair unless it's an emergency or something as such."
The five, which included my cousin nodded as well as bowed with their heads, making me turn to Splinter in confusion and wide eyes at what term they used on him, "Yes Sensei." He noticed my expression and curiously tilted his head as Splinter stood-up since he was going to his chambers to meditate on some things, and kindly asked me as it made me jump slightly at the same time, "Lucy, do you seem to know that term?" I nodded slowly, and simply pointed to my cousin, who was sheepish at my blunt but honest answer, "Yes, Star told me you were her Sensei, but I don't know what that is."
The four turtles not known to the three of us at the moment now muttered softly at the same time in confusion, "Star?"
Splinter simply smiled at this and he begin explaining it briefly to me, and I nodded after he was done as I thanked him kindly with a smile on my face, my tail now hitting me on the head to the amusement of the others, "Thanks Sensei Splinter… But why you wearing a dress most of the time?" Now that made everyone giggle or softly laugh at this as Splinter to his astonished look at what I described his kimono. Splinter then explained kindly since it seemed I didn't know the customs or anything as such from other countries, "This dress you said I wore Lucy, is a kimono, and it is mainly worn in Japan or China sometimes as formal wear." I simply nodded as he then smiled and left us to do whatever we want.
It was at that time my two godparents woke up, and greeted us, well… Aunt Amy hugged me to death; so to speak, to which I didn't feel it as it felt like a regular hug to me, to which I briefly hugged back as she randomly spoke many words a minute. It made me confused at how fast she was talking, but it was about me being OK and stuff.
Eventually they ate, and decided to head topside, since Splinter mainly told them we had to stay, and not those two.
I was slightly worried but I pushed that to the side, since they could handle themselves more than I could as they left topside after swearing not to reveal the lair's location, to which they agreed. My Mommy decided on a nap since she still felt tired as well, which made sudden guilt go into me slightly as to why Mommy might be tired still, since she seems to be healing yet getting only a little better.
Now it was completely quiet as we then stared at each other and I was hesitant as April finally decided and asked us, or well mainly her friends as she gently squeezed both her hands on both of my shoulders in slight encouragement, making me look up to April and her briefly looking downwards to me as well, "Why don't we play some games or watch a movie... But it can't be some of the usual ones Mikey likes because Lucy might get nightmares from them." I was confused by what ones April meant, but they nodded as since I was the guest, they turned to my gaze, who they noticed I was nervous, and Leonardo asked me, "What sounds good to you Lucy?"
I paused as my eyebrows scrunched up slightly and my tongue was sticking out as well as I thought, and then I finally decided since I was curious at what games they had, "Why not video-games like Star said, since I never got a chance to play with mine for a while, back home before we came here."
So we now set up the Xbox360 they had, and since it was slightly teched-out or what they told me as such, they had more controllers for everyone to play with, including me. Since they also teched-out the TV out too as well, it was able to handle the modified gaming console.
Before we began to do so, Raph said he had to get something from his room, and a few moments later he quickly came back angry now, carrying that duffel-bag-thing and firmly stated with a glare to Mikey who looked to him wide eyed at it as well as us, "Did you do this lame-brain?" He shook his head no, and I suddenly giggled and I then looked to him in a 'I'm sorry' based look as I defended him, "Sorry Raph, my pet did that to your bag after she stated you made a rude comment about Mikey earlier when she snuck-out of my bag."
That made the four turtles froze at me from my words, and then they realized after a few moments to what I just said to them.
Leonardo looked to me carefully with a hint of questioning now in his tone as he was completely curious, "What pet?" Before I could respond, Donny suddenly shrieked in surprised fright, and we saw Zera hissing in amusement at them as she merely floated in the lair by her wings, using her small arms to clutch her sides in hissing with laughter too much. "That's Zera." I stated as I then sent her a look, to which she paused and then gulped knowing she was in trouble now, and sadly sighed as she went back to Donny's lab when I strictly pointed to it and mumbled in hissing to me that it was unfair and stuff.
They were curious as I explained to them that Zera was a pet I got from my friend Fluttershy at a vet she works at part-time for, and mostly everything, not noticing as I wasn't aware when I talk sometimes that they all had shared looks as if they agreed about something and when I was finished, they gave me a simple smile and nodded at me, and then we were brought back at what video-game I wanted to play with them at this moment.
The game since they also said it was my choice still, I picked Skylanders Trap-Team for some reason, and also for some reason they have some characters that I have back home from what I mainly use most of the time here, and then I began to play my favorite one though, which was for some reason just like mine… like the one I lost a while back.
I simply shrugged and I then began to play with Stealth-Elf, Dark Edition, but she was costumed made since I ordered her. In fact to my hidden surprise it was indeed mine I lost a few weeks ago when I saw her stats and the necklace I gave her from my own game.
Unlike the original Dark Edition, she had sliver hair with a few red highlights in it on both sides of her head, and her eyes unlike the original's were mostly black, but her iris and eye color were completely different. Since I got addicted to Naruto, that anime show slightly thanks to Aunt Aria as she was a fan to that franchise in secret. She had a mixture of that Rinnigan eye with the Sharrigan (Imagine: mostly a Sharingan Eye with three tome marks, but it has purple coloring instead of mainly being blood-red) and the pupil was pure-blue colored. She also had two different swords. One was pure-white, while the other was pure-black, and she was costumed-made to be a Traptanium Wielder from her two blades. She also had them sticking out to her sides, the white one in front and the black in the back slightly. Her hair was also placed in a braid like the original Stealth Elf, and her outfit was the same as well, but different. The necklace I gave her, since it was showing on the screen when I placed her down, was emerald-green like my eyes, and it tend to glow sometimes when I noticed her doing attacks back on my own console, before she vanished. The belt that she normally wears though was a studded belt with a star, like my two aunts sometimes wear, and her boots were like my Aunt Aria's boots, but olive green like most of the outfit. Also her element was different as well since she was costumed ordered by me. She was the mixture of two elements to make the gaming experience for me easier when I was playing, as she was considered both a Light and Dark Element-Based Trap Master.
They also had at least figured out a glitch in all the games from this franchise thanks to Mikey, with at least three portals up we all played for a while, until we got to the one last boss fight since it was now saved up to that point with Kaos knowing about The Portal Masters and used all our portals for some reason to speak, but unlike the same time since I defeated him plenty of, with the help of my friends Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash of course, the dialogue was truly different this time as he was closely examining the screen. Like he actually sees us for some reason, and as usual he did some of his basic dialogue, but it surprised me as it changed as well.
We all saw that the goblin guy, Glumshanks, now stated to his boss; Who was all purple now from the Traptanium in his system with yellow eyes instead of mainly whites, and green colored irises and a red pupil, "Sir, are you OK?" Kaos seemed to be for some reason looking right at me as he quickly stated to his butler if I can guess if that's what he thinks the goblin of his game-based race is mainly, "Never better Glumshanks. I feel empowered... and I can also see clearly now what I must do."
Confused, the goblin then asked curiously and yet was also concerned as well, "What might that be sir?" He was now making me scared as he turned to me with Kaos now saying something to which I think wasn't in his script when the developers made this game, "That child right there is my key to defeating the Skylanders once and for all!" I turned and took quick notice that the others seemed confused at this as well since they know this isn't how he talks normally near the end of the game.
"Is it just me dudes and dudettes, but is he really talking to us right now?" Mikey asked out loud to all of us, and they nodded as Kaos seemed amused at this; as he looked to each of us, and Glumshanks gasped now as if he could as well be seeing us as well for some reason. This made me even more scared as Kaos replied to that question; as if he was speaking directly to us, "Of course you fool of a strange.. Looking turtle-thing, I can clearly see you all, mainly the girl I mentioned as well."
We all now look to the screen in slight shock as he just laughed at our faces; to which is annoying to me, and then stated to which I also froze over, "After all, it was mother who said I might meet a uniquely powered girl to aid me on my conquest. Not willingly of course, but I didn't realize at the time until now how to do so." At the end he gave a wicked grin which I slowly got up, and hid behind my cousin.
April now glared at the screen and debated on shutting it off, to which a few moments decision she did as April was then quickly zapped by minor amounts electricity and yelped suddenly in minor pain, to which April then placed said finger she used into her mouth to stop the burning sensation.
Kaos simply waved at April and made a few tsking noises after as he then stated in mirth; as if she was joking to what she was trying to do, "Nah-uh red-head, I'm in control now. So if you don't mind, let me say one thing as well…" At this he trailed off as we were confused by this. I revealed myself briefly from behind my cousin and Leo and Raph gave him a harsh look as Leonardo, being the leader I think he is, now carefully stated plainly to him, "And what might that be?"
Suddenly, Kaos now reached out and grabbed both April and I through the TV set as we were frozen stiff in shock at his quick actions. I was also now holding onto my favorite made-by-me Skylander as it also glowed, and vanished once we entered, from my hands.
We were then tossed by Kaos quickly form their view-point to his butler as he simply waved as well as saying in humor, "Chao fools!"
Brief Normal POV:
The TV screen suddenly shut itself off after Kaos said those two words.
It took a couple of seconds for the turtles to realize what happened and Mikey quickly turned the gaming console back on since it shut itself off automatically by that point, and to their surprise it was back at the main menu screen.
A couple of feminine gasps was heard as they noticed their sister; Karai and Lucy's mother, Sunset Shimmer if they recalled, was behind them as they arrived too little too late from what they observed happened to the two girls from what they briefly saw happen from the TV screen.
They were glad she was able to with their help a while back, Karai, was also able to handle her snake-like mutation but her eyes were like the female ninja's original iris color, but slanted like her snake form, and Karai's tongue was permanent to that of her beast-like snake form she had as well. Karai also had small snake fangs up top but they briefly showed when she either unknowingly hisses when angered or when she mainly yawns. Karai also wore her armor she had as well from leaving the Foot Clan Ninjas still since she noticed what they were going to do to her with that control worm, which she thankfully fully destroyed once she fought it with her natural instincts, and joined up with her family as a result without leaving a large prank behind her.
Karai even helped out in space with them recently, and decided to check up on things in town before returning home. Karai eventually ended up when she finally returned, to meet Sunset Shimmer who greeted her after stating she took a nap, and then explained to her why she easily was here briefly and when they were about to come into the room to let Karai meet Sunset's adopted daughter, Lucy, that was when they both heard the dialogue to the game, and the events that quickly took place then happened. So it was shocking to say the least that a female ninja like her could still be shocked by this, a video-game character abducting a little girl if she remembers right from Sunset, her adopted daughter Lucy and April O'Neil into the screen, and shut-off on itself.
The teenager knows now that some things will still surprise the female ninja at strange times, as a odd result.
So they all slowly sat down and Mikey started up the last save file that was when it happened, and to their surprise they were greeted with the floating head guy, Eon if they all remember right it was, and he now looked at them gravely as if he knew what happened. He then told them in pity mixed with understanding, "hello Portal Masters, for some reason our world was breached by some kind of new foe entering our world, and we were able to contact some real people in your world, or should I say worlds that have our franchise, to which I'm shocked to say I'm a game character to."
They all nodded slowly but then Sunset looked to him but only for a brief moment, hugging herself since she somehow knew it might happen. Lucy was considered to be mostly a trouble magnet for villains from a stray comment a while back by Rainbow Dash, as she saved the girl from almost being hit by a stray car when Lucy didn't pay attention to simply get Rainbow Dash's soccer ball back, after kicking it too far from teaching the game to Lucy. Sunset was also learning from back to the times she knew her, and succeeded on defeating anything that was in her way, slightly, and knew she could at least handle herself only a little. Yet she was still worried about her.
Eon noticed the teen girl then from her body language and said to her gently, making Sunset now look to him with tears that were slowly falling down her face as Karai also comforted the teen girl as well at the same time, awkwardly that is as the teen herself was still dealing with or trying to be a regular teenager then a soldier at most times. "So you must be the little girl's mother I take it?"
Sunset only nodded since if she would talk, she might just start crying a fountain of tears for Lucy this time, so to speak, and he sighed knowing he might regret it but carried out his own idea to aid the two girls who was brought to his realm-like-world in the first place, "Alright I might have a way to help you all to come to my domain, this game if I recall once more. Which one of you is the smartest among you teens?" Everyone except Sunset, who was now crying softly and silently as well onto Karai's shirt, to which Karai still awkwardly patted her on the back, and turned to Donatello.
Said turtle nodded as he and Eon talked quietly as he explained something easy for him to make to enter the game. After that he quickly took off into his lab, and within a few minutes or so later since Sunset was now sniffling and apologized to Karai now, who simply shrugged without saying anything, with a device that looked similar to that of the Kranng Orb they still have. It was however all blue, like the portals they have playing on at the moment.
Donatello then plugged it into one of the three portals as they were also modified by him in secret by Mikey's odd request back then, and the orb glowed briefly and behind them was a true portal, a blue-swirling vortex that didn't pull at all and with determined looks they all entered without Eon saying anything more, to which he was going to.
Karai and Sunset though remained behind as he quickly stated before they headed into the vortex, "I was going to tell those four that my personal team of Skylanders will be meeting them. So I hope nothing bad might happen if they encountered each other when they arrive." Sunset he noticed, had a look of pure determination, probably thinking of getting her daughter back from Kaos and nodded as they both then jumped into the vortex as it vanished behind them.
Eon then sighed as he quietly stated to himself, before shutting off the game since it would come back online when they returned; with him fully in his true human form in his library as he used a spell to communicate to them, "Well, this might be interesting development to save our realm, but it might be helpful if it didn't involve the Darkness's new ally." The screen then shut itself off with his wrist lazily waved to a illusion he made from part of the spell, was then gone as he left the secret room the library itself has.
Lucy's POV, Kaos's somewhat castle:
I was completely scared as April and I was currently being led to a room of some kind under Kaos's strict orders to his butler, Glumshanks.
I was also both surprised and confused that the Doom Raiders are all here as well, giving me somewhat surprised looks at the same time from most of them as if they secretly knew me, but didn't at the same time, but not them as it was mostly the golden lady I think from her look of hidden shock in her eyes instead. We were all escorted then to the same room as us by a group of guard trolls.
For some reason Golden Queen as I recalled who she was now, seems familiar to me for some odd reason but I couldn't quite figure it out, since I was mainly hesitant to defeat her mainly on my own game console back home and wanting to beat the game. I then let my older friends do it for me instead each time to their confusion, yet they accepted of course.
I also took notice to my surprise that my personally-made Skylander was here as well in the line with the Doom Raiders.
Alive, very real, and moving.
She noticed me now and then gasped briefly to herself. She was about to say something to me then until she was lightly poked from her side by some of the guards, which were medium-sized plated trolls along with smaller ones, and we traveled in silence into the room.
My cousin and I slightly gaped now as we were then shoved into said room along with the Doom Raiders, and my somewhat alive Skylander, into this truly immense quarters. It was filled to be like that of a large apartment complex of some sorts with separate rooms, and some appliances made to get us to like it of course. Like it had a huge TV and cable box; no phones though since he didn't want us to call for help, and a kitchen that was stocked endlessly with food. On one wall though was a window that showed the outside, and to my shock as we saw it showed an endless vast of islands to me; which was the entire Skyland's in view, which I awed at. The place also had a very big bathroom chamber with a hot-tub and shower.
I quickly heard a deep male voice scoffing at me doing this, and mocked not only me but my cousin as he then stated, making us turn to see it was Wolfgang with said wolf sitting on a chair; tuning his bone-like guitar without looking up, "Pathetic humans and their aweing at everything they see. It's just islands that's all there is to mainly gawk at." Everyone besides them noticed my bracelet glowed briefly to their curious stares and it was then my real form then showed, making not only them but Wolfgang who was too in-tuned on his instrument to notice me, and also gasped slightly.
April then softly said to me, making me look to her confused, "Lucy, is that you?" I looked to her and nodded confusedly, and asked as well, "Of course it's me Star, why you asked that?" She simply motioned to the window since it shows a brief reflection of not only me but the others, and I gasped in slight fear as I now saw my real form being shown in front of these people, and my cousin who I was going to work up the courage to show.
April took noticed as she then crossed her arms, and then asked with a brow raised with me also noticing mostly everyone was observing the scene that was about to commence in front of them, "When were you going to tell me about," April gestured to my entire self and finished asking, "Your real form?"
Not known to me, April knew from Sunset's (Mommy's) tales about me and what I apparently looked like, but the teenager thought despite her being truthful on her explanation, April thought that part of me was made-up slightly. But it looked like the teen girl was wrong this time.
I sighed and softly stated, my tail now drooping as I was also rubbing my left-arm in small guilt; refusing to look to her since I decided for myself when I got my new bracelet, I wanted to work up the courage to show others my real self, even to any new family members after getting to truly know them that is first. "I was going to tell you honestly when I felt ready to. It-it takes me some time for me to trust others with my own secrets. Somehow my-my charmed bracelet isn't working right now to conceal it."
I didn't hear her at all as I then spoke even softer with tears forming in my eyes now from remembering all the beatings I had gotten from having just my magic showing back then to my former Uncle Vernon; as well as that time, "I understand if you don't want to see me right now. I-I think I might go somewhere for a while to be alone." I was about to do just that since this place was huge like a mansion-mixed complex until I was stopped by April, making me turned to her in surprise as she didn't look angry, she looked to be instead in complete understanding as she brushed my tears away from my eyes with her hands; as I was crying slightly.
We didn't say anything as she let me cry on her shirt as the Doom Raiders looked uncomfortable until Wolfgang now noticed and then stated loudly in his rocker-toned voice which was also British I might add; after doing a double-take that is, "Oi! When did she looked like that now? I thought she wasn't a Skylander at all?" The other Doom Raiders, even Chompy Mage's puppet sweat dropped somehow at him for this. I laughed sadly at this as I was still crying but in small amounts now.
As to my cousins and my own surprise, Golden Queen came to us and tapped her staff while doing so. She then looked to us in her ruby-gemmed eyes with a look, but at me mainly as if she knows me from somewhere, but didn't want to say anything from what I could tell until later when I'm calmed down, "So you two were captured by that fool as he somehow gained even more power, then he should from absorbing that odd looking Traptanium shard." She spoke as if she was loyalty, in a mature woman's voice, but mixed with the same accent as Wolfgang; but not rock star-like.
We looked to her as April now asked, since I was just now getting over crying my eyes out still, "What do you mean? Last time since we came from the our world he simply took a random piece and just absorbed it into himself from the prison."
Golden Queen looked shocked briefly to Star at this information, but placed it back into her mind I could guess from her look for later, and looked to me then as she noticed I was calm somewhat now. She then answered our statement though as briefly as she could, manly looking at me to see if I was someone she knows or not, "He took into a darker version of Traptanium into himself that he was given, making him more aware of his surroundings and yes he did free us from the academy somehow by a portal he summoned, but I didn't expect his power to simply reach out, and pluck other worlder's as yourselves into our realm."
April nodded at this, and I did somewhat as I was getting all the information she told us from what my head was slightly receiving, and she noticed as for some reason, Golden Queen softened her face only briefly, and then returned it with her now looking to Wolfgang, and now smirked smugly to him as this was making him look around until he realized he was the only target in her sights.
Golden Queen then ordered him, a gleam in her gem-like eyes now, "Wolfgang~ be a dear and help Pepper-Jack make us some food, since we seem to have plenty of it; for Lunch." I looked to Pepper-Jack and he grinned at this, and clapped his hands as he then headed to the kitchen and paused as he noticed my gaze from the kitchen to him, since I felt like I wanted to make something as well, since I was bored now instead of feeling sad, which I am still but only minor now.
He then startled me, and this was making him grin while doing so as he also quickly asked in an accent from the bayou down in Louisiana, if I remember from what I read about the game I beaten like seven or so times now, "Mon cheré, you feel like whippin' up some grub with ol' Chef here?" I nodded as they sweat dropped at my sudden mood shift, and before April could stop me since they were villains, I went with him into the kitchen with Wolfgang to prepare some food.
April then noticed Golden Queen looked to her as well as if she knew her from somewhere before too. They took noticed the dark-like elf went with me; so she could try and talk as well to me like she was going to earlier.
April noticed once again that 'The Queen' had a look of realization on her face, and gripped her staff tighter than normal and April asked hesitantly, taking a few steps back, and unknowingly clutched the crystal which hummed in both worry as well as sudden amusement from what it was observing from the Golden Queen's behavior for remembering something. "Why you keep staring at me like that?" Golden Queen startled April from her constant staring as she sighed, and then replied making the others in the room look to April, and then to where the little girl went to with the others of their team, and the elf. But before she did, Golden Queen now gave them a look or a look-based hint to get lost, and they quickly left since from that look alone might end up being turned into gold and back when she was in the mood.
Golden Queen then looked to April with a softened look on her face, which surprised the girl, "I'm surprised you two barely remember me dear. I did help deliver you into the world, along with Lucy." April then stop being scared as slow realization began to settle in as she remembers her now, a strange look of both confusion and to the Golden Queen's secret hope, slight remembrance, "Aunt Jewels?"
Meanwhile back in the kitchen.
Myself along with the Skylander, who I now knew was the very same one I grabbed and randomly appeared in a different time or place then, began to chit-chat with me and she was surprised that she felt a strange yet strong connection with me as well I did to her somehow.
While we chatted, we still helped with Pepper-Jack cooking food for all of us, who seemed surprised at my skills of fine cooking; as if I knew already how to do so at my age, and kept that information to himself along with Wolfgang as we then decided on a desert. But we didn't know which one to make since the meal part was done, but they didn't questioned why I made multiple parts of it. I then thought of one I felt was right for this dish, which surprised the three from my suggestion, "Why not make Sweet-Cream Pie?"
Confused since Pepper-Jack hasn't heard of that dessert-like dish and questioned me with a look, and surprisingly Wolfgang and my Skylander seemed interested on that idea, "So you kno' another type ah dish then mon cheré?" I nodded as I quickly explained the recipe, which seemed simple enough but sweet potatoes, he questioned that and I simply shrugged as I got them out, and stated softly to the three, as I then helped them get the other ingredients out, "It makes the pie taste somewhat sweeter, and yet gives it a tangy-like taste since its mainly used for Huckleberry Pie originally."
Knowing when not to question a new kind of dish without making and trying it out, he shrugged and helped me make it since I was still a young girl. It turned out like it should since I helped make it though as it was all white except the pie crust to which was orange, and on top I added some chocolate chips, and some caramel syrup on top, in a design to which looks like a bulls-eye for archery if anyone notices.
My stomach rumbled slightly as I blushed once more for doing that, but this time around two villains, and my Skylander as they chuckled at this as we then began to serve food on to the dining area of this place. I got to say, it's pretty impressive even though it was slightly big enough to fit all of us, and it was merely an average dining room.
Needless to say there wasn't much true conversation, but everyone gaped at how much I began to eat all at once, and April merely laughed at their shocked faces as I simply chowed down more food, and they all also wondered where I put it all. I blushed as I stop mid-eating and noticed their looks on all their faces besides my amused cousin, and gulped a large portion of food down my throat, and simply smiled sheepishly as I now stated to them with also blushing even more, "I can't help it sometimes. It's from what my Grandpa stated to me from one of my bloodlines would do."
Now that confused them as well as April since I didn't mention him, and since I began to resume eating, and before April could ask me who he was, Star was beaten to it by Golden Queen as she asked me in a kind tone; not knowing she is one of my lost aunts/godmothers yet, "Who is your grandfather dear. Maybe we have heard of him as a villain or something as such." I gave her a weird look at this as she merely had a mirth-like gleam as if she knew already who I might be stating is my Grandpa, but I shrugged as I began to cut into a piece of cut-up chicken and before I could take a bite I simply said his name, which confused April and some of the two younger raiders, but made Golden Queen's eyes widen only slightly to confirm she knew. "Aeroza Vontrillizo."
As I was now full after eating that last twelfth plate of food and also a large piece of pie for desert, Kaos suddenly showed up and quickly grabbed me before any objections could take place, and teleported us to another location, a chamber of some kind that seemed to be filled with that stuff based off the game. I looked around confused as he simply grinned and clapped his hands; yet I sweat dropped as he also nabbed some of the desert we made to eat later I guessed, making me look to him now as he plainly stated to me, a grin on his face still, "Well little girl… Lucy if I recall right, if you're his granddaughter then this might be either simple or tricky planning as I thought it might be."
Confused as before I could ask, I was then suddenly strapped down onto a table that showed up out of nowhere, and I then began to struggle as he held a needle that was filled with some kind of liquid. It sort of looked like the same metallic crystals I see around us.
I quickly widened my eyes at what he was going to do and also began to struggle more as my power seemed to be somehow sapped while I'm strapped to this table, making me look to the needle in complete and utter fear from my past experiences; by my Aunt Petunia from those with her inexperience with needles to which she tried to inject good medicine into me back then, since Uncle Vernon didn't want to waste his money at me to simply head to a child's doctor at all, and began to whimper at to one of my many fears.
I couldn't blame my aunt although for that as she was mostly inexperienced on doing so, but still it hurt a lot when she didn't get the right veins to do so. When Uncle Vernon did it though when she wasn't around, he jabbed it into my spine.
I saw Kaos now paused to what he was doing and noticed my eyes were mainly focused on the needle, and thinking it was about the liquid and not my one of many fears. Kaos simply grinned and just stated proudly since the table was enchanted for any-type of magic being subdued. "This needle is filled with pure-liquefied Traptanium alloy; with it, I should make it so I can get you to have an increase of your powers to be able to use the Long-Lost Traptanium Portal; which was sealed off by a very powerful entity a very long time ago before the Darkness even began in the first place." I shivered in fear as he brought it closer and closer to my now exposed left arm, and slowly inject the needle into my skin as he finished speaking, "Of course I don't know the side-effects to doing this though."
He now laughed his non-famous laugh as it was then injected into my bloodstream.
I suddenly felt like I was on fire, and also my entire body seemed stiff. I suffered from both pain and increase of my body heat so much I quickly passed out on the table.
Normal POV, Back with the others with April, The Complex Dinning Chambers:
April was now worried since it was at least a few hours ago that Kaos took Lucy to somewhere else to do, possibly anything to what she merely thought he can do to her. She was even fidgeting in which April normally doesn't do from her legs, even though they were crossed.
At this moment it was only her and Golden Queen, along with that floating head girl, Dreamcatcher if she recalls right as those two discussed random things, making April not to pay any attention since it was from their failed plots from the Skylanders. "I agree that fool might do anything to that girl. It has been long enough time to do so anyways." The entity of the Aeon Crystal stated to her. April shortly nodded as she suddenly felt wrong, like something bad was about to either happen or- Kaos then showed himself in a bright flash, holding a deep-sleeping Lucy, who was different slightly as her skin seemed paler then her normal silver toned skin, and sweating. She noticed for once the villain was panicking and mumbling rather quickly to himself as he simply placed her in April's arms forcibly, almost making her fall off her seat and vanished to who-knows-where.
April was now concerned since Lucy's left-arm was now metallic, truly metallic like those gems that were here, up to the end-part of her arm to which also showed her bones now, which was also slightly creepy with a fusion of it being mostly metallic then her entire skin tone. Lucy was also running a fever, sweating more, and was also tossing and turning as if she was having a very bad nightmare.
Golden Queen and surprisingly Dreamcatcher noticed the scene instantly, and April placed Lucy down on the table after Golden Queen simply shoved all the leftover dishes that remained from them away, shattering slightly since some of them were ceramic. She quickly turned to April and then stated like an order to her, "We need you to go fetch Pepper-Jack and tell him 'Code Pepper'; he will know what that means." Confused, but her main concern was for her cousin, April quickly ran out of the room to where said villain was resting in a recliner that was made for his size, and he was curious now from what the human teen was running towards him mainly and she quickly said which made him more alert now, "Your boss said Code Pepper, whatever that is."
April was almost knocked over by Pepper-Jack himself as to her surprise by his speed to where she followed him.
He was now holding a strange-looking vial of liquid in his hands as when they got there, Lucy was worse for wear now. Her skin was even paler, and she was unknowingly scrunching her eyes as if in major pain.
Pepper-Jack quickly gave the vial to Golden Queen, and since it was corked she opened it with her mouth. She then forced Lucy to open her mouth, and poured the strange liquid into her throat by forcibly making her gulp it with her hands. After forcing Lucy to ingest the liquid since her throat wasn't working at the moment; since Lucy was still deep sleeping enough to not do that, her skin slowly but surely returned to her normal tone, but Lucy still had her eyes scrunched up, as if she was still experiencing a nightmare. Her skin also felt normal to touch now as well, but from the looks from the three villains, April hesitantly asked now looking to her cousin as they had to hold her down now since she was moving frantically, worried, "Do you know what's happening to her? What's wrong with Lucy?"
Dreamcatcher noticed something or otherwise sensed something was in her head, thus was making her believe that Kaos somewhat knew what he was doing, but let someone into her head by accident; which is also causing the child to have nightmares.
This made said Doom Raider briefly angry since that was her goals to do to others, and turned to the three and stated quickly in a teenage girl's voice which echoed, "I don't know what he did to the kid but he unknowingly allowed something to enter her mind, which is causing her to have nightmares." April looked to her as Dreamcatcher was surprised by how hopeless April looked right now as she was still holding onto her cousin's hand.
April only got to know Lucy for a few moments after only one day, and this stuff happens. Maybe Lucy's adopted mother was right as she was indeed a trouble magnet from the small talk they done on the side.
Dreamcatcher sighed now as April asked her in slight hope, since she knew the human might know some her abilities, "Can you do something for her, like get rid of whatever is in her head?" Dreamcatcher turned to Golden Queen as the Leader of the Doom Raiders nodded and also simply stated, looking at the little girl as cuts were now showing on her arms, making them all worried at who was in there, "Do it."
Dreamcatcher looked to Lucy and her eyes quickly glowed pure-white slightly as she then closed her eyes. April since she was still holding Lucy's hand quickly passed out as Pepper-Jack grabbed said teenager in his arms, and laid her on the floor looking at his boss as if he didn't expect that to happen. Golden Queen simply sighed and looked to the little girl in hidden worry since she didn't want to show her true emotions to her minion/comrade. They better get rid of the entity that's going all over in my nieces head, I wasn't the twin of her mother for nothing. Even though I was changed into what I am now from back home, and simply tossed here by that old fool of a higher authority. There isn't anything I could do as of now though, but to simply watch as well as wait.
Golden Queen, AKA, Martha Gabriel Evans and also the biological twin to one, Liliana "Lily" Maria Evans-Potter, AKA, Lenora Eclipse, inwardly thought with worry now. Martha knows Lucy's only hope now are the two teens; Dreamcatcher and April, going into Lucy's head and mainly began to wait as she then sat down in a nearby seat, along with her minion/comrade, Pepper-Jack.
Within Lucy's Mind:
April woke up now to a strange-like area that didn't seem to make any sense at all, like looking at that one show-area from Tiny-Toon adventures; Wacky-Land, but slightly more dangerous. She was also surprised that Dreamcatcher looked closely human now with her head being the same still but now smaller.
Her body which April got slightly jealous at, was more curved and developed then hers, and she looked to be at least the same age as April as well. She also wore mainly Gothic-like clothes that matched her skin tone, but darker colors. She also to her surprise wielded a staff in her right hand. Dreamcatcher looked to herself in brief shock of awe as she softly stated to herself, "I haven't been in my true form in quite some time... Seems this place is forcing me to look like this."
April simply raised an eyebrow and then crossed her arms as Dreamcatcher wasn't all that surprised April was here as well, since she was holding Lucy's hand when she activated her ability to enter dreams, which tends to happen sometimes but rarely.
April then asked making Dreamcatcher to raise her delicate eyebrow since her face was heart-shaped briefly, but was slightly close to the same one as her ball-form, "So this is what you truly look like? Not everyone knows what you truly look like as they thought your other form might be your real self." Dreamcatcher scoffed lightly at this and said teen girl gripped the staff with both arms; feeling the essence of some powerful entity within this mind and she simply replied back with a smirk on her face now, her bracers slightly showing as a result, "Not everyone does expect that, like the saying goes, 'Expect The Unexpected'. Or something as such."
April was about to reply as they were almost knocked down on their feet now as something quickly passed them by, making them both wonder to themselves to what that was as it passed by again but this time, behind them, as they were once more again were almost knocked on their feet. It was to their surprise that it was a medium-sized golden ball with wings. It fluttered before stopped being able to move, and to this confused them slightly as it then vanished into sparkled dust. "OK, this place is tend to be creepy or what, since I don't know what that was." Commented April to the Doom Raider, who simply nodded as a glowing path from where the thing was began to form now, making them have no choice but to follow it.
After a while of endless walking they suddenly heard screaming as if someone was in pain, and to their astonishment they recognized it right away as Lucy. They speed up as the path glowed even more, and to their shock they came to a large mansion, which seemed to be from some sort of horror film. It was like the house on haunted hill-type mansion, but without said hill top.
April gulped quickly at the building and noticed the Doom Raider did the same, as they then entered said mansion and when they did the doors slammed hard, making them both jump and then to look at them, and then at each other as they also at the same time shrugged their own shoulders as well. They once again heard Lucy scream, but it was a pained scream as if she was now fighting something here and they quickly heard a demonic shout which chilled them both after.
The path glowed once more as they quickly sped to where the path was leading them throughout this place, and it lead to a ball-room with closed doors to what they could tell in front of them. They heard Lucy scream once more but clearer this time, and they now forced the two doors which were hard to budge, to open with force. And to what they were witnessing quickly was making them look at the scene in shock.
Lucy was changed completely (the form she gained in last chapter, but the new arm which glows slightly with green energy, and showed her metallic bones even more), and there was slight cuts on some parts on her; mainly both arms and her face, even her legs and clothing/armor.
Lucy was currently fighting against some kind of creature who greatly resembles a demonic-looking dragon of some kind. It mainly laughed at her with a harsh gleam in its eyes and merely swatted her nearby them, harshly on the ground to make a indent as she now groaned in pain.
April quickly went to Lucy as Dreamcatcher looked at the monster, and shivered at how tainted it felt. It didn't feel pure like her powers of causing this madness around them as it turned to her briefly and then to the two as it grinned wickedly with very sharp teeth.
It then opened its mouth as a blast of fire was about to be coming out of it, forming quickly, and she quickly headed to them and raised her staff as a barrier formed making April confused until she too noticed the creature doing what it was doing from its mouth, and now gaped as it blasted at them but then missed as it was over-powered by a shield that the staff Dreamcatcher used on it.
After a few moments it was done, and they noticed the pissed-off expression on the creature's face as it now shouted angrily at them all, and hearing Lucy mutter tiredly 'idiot', "I can't believe I was interfered with again! I, Frandas, will not be denied my vengeance this time... In fact I might call for some back-up I brought with me from a world filled with horror." Stated the creature that was identified now to them, but they both wondered at who he might have brought as back-up. He placed its two big-claws to its muzzle now, and whistled loudly making them cover their ears rather fast until he was done, and to their surprise some music that sounded creepy to them as they suddenly hear children began to sing some kind of song, eerily as well.
"One-Two, Freddy is coming for you…." Dreamcatcher paled at who was his so-called backup in sudden realization, and as the song kept continuing, said Doom Raider quickly stated making April look to her in slow yet feared shock as April too knew who this was from Mikey's specific movie collection. "We need to get out of here! If he shows up in Lucy's head she might die for real in both here and the outside, including us since his powers make it so." April nodded as Lucy's aura she had on her diminished with the little girl now returning to what she was looking like before, slightly weak as well.
April gently as well as quickly as she can, lifted her cousin onto her back, and now wince slightly at her slight-grip as her tail also wrapped around her left-arm as well. Frandas noticed they were leaving and then simply chuckled wickedly as the doors suddenly slammed, and iron-clad chains were wrapped around the door now and a lock was placed as well. Making the two teens now pale at this meaning as they quickly turned to him. He simply grinned and also at the same time, simply motioned to besides them.
As obvious, they slowly turned to said direction, and they see the person the song was based upon right there, looking at the three expectantly. He began clicking his knifes that were on a leather-brown-glove on his right-hand. It was Freddy Krueger, and he seemed amused by these events as well as he replied to himself slightly, "So it seems I get to fight in a witches head this time, and a powerful one to boot…"
April backed-up with her still carrying Lucy as he simply chuckled and grinned at the three, and looked to the demon that summoned him here, and tilted his head briefly while he commented to Frandas, who looked at him confusingly, "Tell me Demon, why was I summoned to this kid's head to fight instead to where we agreed upon?" Frandas sweated at his words as he quickly replied, "She is a powerful one at that, but I need you to deal with those two so I can take the kid to my master, since she has potential to be a… Let's say experiment to say the least." Freddy paused his walking since he was listening to what the demon said since he was already planned on doing that.
Freddy felt how tainted his power felt and it was more tainted then his, making him turned to him with a raised brow as the two girls were confused at what was happening. "So the kid is a trophy of some-kind then?" Frandas simply nodded not noticing the look on Freddy's face which seemed intrigued, "Yes. She is the Girl-Who-Lived; back at her home world, my master wants her to open the gateway for the Legion to come forth, since he is known as a Shadow Lord of the Legion, of course. His true master he serves under wants her to open a doorway to get something important as well for him; as well as the other Shadowlords."
The three noticed... Well Lucy weakly noticed that is, Freddy gave them a smirk and a mischief-like gleam in his eyes, and simply stated as a portal appeared behind the demon, Frandas, without his knowing and wickedly grinned at him now in which this was making him worried as Freddy simply stated to the fool also, "Well... I don't like my deals to be remade to anyone's liking. So farewell fool!" Frandas noticed a portal behind him that wasn't his now, and began to panic as he was then sucked in but not before shouting at the three girls with a gleam in his eyes now, "I'm not going out without something in return you back-stabbing dream-demon!" He quickly whistled and something now felt off as he was then sucked into the portal.
The area rumbled briefly making the dream demon frown at this and Dreamcatcher paled once more as she somewhat knew what he summoned to deal with not only him, but them as well.
Then suddenly, strange-glowing runes which they didn't see before at all now showed itself on the ground, and from it a somewhat dark-like mist was being produced.
It then gathered into the air as it grew and grew into a misty-like black cloud and it than began to take a form of some kind, and to their shock, it was a pitch-black creature that had four-black tentacles behind it. Its head was that of a dragon and its wings of a bat. It also had at least three tails with blue-like flames at the end, and it was also plated with armor, and in the middle of its chest was a prism of some-kind that glowed sometimes. It also stood to be at least twenty-eight feet in height, and it simply grinned at them, but a gleam when it turned to Freddy. Whatever this thing was, now stated to them all in a slight young males voice, but with a hiss-like quality to it. "So I was summoned to deal with four people to whom I find, slightly amusing. Pity though. I can sense the child will be great in the future."
It then opened its mouth as the three tails; then went to it, the two tails reached to the sides of his face, while the third since it flew up into the air to do so, under him. It breathed deep, and a barrier then showed itself around the three girls, but not Freddy who looked amused at this, and it breathed a mixed of white and pitch-black flames from its mouth at them.
It was shocked that it didn't fry the girls or this demon, who simply laughed as Freddy clicked his knifes together and turned to the three girls and noticed the little girl wince as if she was in pain again now from the blast of fire in her mind. He titled his head to that to the side and turned his gaze to the creature above them, and simply stated aloud to said creature, "Now I might not be alive anymore, but I can tell when fire like that can hurt someone's body, and it seems you unknowingly did that right now."
The creature scoffed at this, and prepared for another attack and this time Freddy simply snapped his fingers and the area changed to that of a coliseum, and behind the girls and Freddy was a giant-like version of himself which grinned at the creature. Then to the astonishment to the two girls, and the now blurry vision of Lucy since she was slowly losing her grip which the two teens also noticed as the two titans now faced each other. It was pointless though since they were evenly matched in strength and skills.
After a while, Freddy had enough since it casted the same attack once more at this time, and drew back a fist as well as the titan version of himself, and punched the dragon so hard, it flew away for quite some time, and crashed into a suddenly sprouted mountain. He noticed the blank stares onto the three girl's faces and simply bowed before he was then stomped on by a giant foot from the creature he just sent away, and the giant version of himself simply vanished.
Lucy suddenly shouted in both pain and annoyance as the two finally paused their fighting with each other; after nearly several minutes that is, "Will you guys stop this fighting, it's hurting me!" A yellow-like aura was surrounding the girl briefly then, but didn't faze April to her shock but it then quickly faded as she seemed weaker now as Freddy finally decided he would let them live… for now, and turned as well as simply waving at the creature who was stunned from the powerful outburst from a little girl, "Cya chump!" He quickly vanished into a mist-like darkness and it faded away.
It was awkward now as the creature simply scratched its muzzle as if it didn't know what to do at the moment, and then finally decided since he was now amused by the little girl and then snapped its dragon-like claws. A scroll appeared in front of them right then in the air as they were now confused by this. Said creature simply chuckled as he with his silver-like teeth showing widely, and simply stated to them; mainly the little girl he was amused with currently, "I find the child amusing to me. So I have decided to allow you all to live, and free of her nightmare from the creature that was formed by that memory spell in here. I considered you a rare item girl, don't waste my gift."
The scroll unrolled quickly and before anything was said and done, a few drops of blood from Lucy since the fight between the two from her left-hand caused her to bleed thanks to Freddy unknowingly, and it then signed Lucy's entire name onto the bottom of the scroll from two lined others, and it afterwards, quickly rolled up and vanished.
Lucy was then fully healed, but weak still from using her power in her own mind and the creature simply roared loudly as a very loud dying shriek was heard throughout the area, and it grinned back at them as the area glowed; blinding them as it then changed to a field of flowers and some trees in the distance.
The creature simply grinned at the sudden results of the land changing and stated to them now, mainly his new contract holder after so long for some time, then began to fade away back to his domain, "You may call upon me anytime you need my power girl. My name is Takuzan, the Three Tailed Dragon, and also those of relations within said contract as such. Farewell until a true fight happens…" And before they could respond, they were all blinded as they forced to be woken up.
Back at the area we left off at, Present time after being awakened from Lucy's Nightmare:
They all woke up, and Lucy weakly smiled with her being awake.
April though blinked a couple of times and was stiff, knowing they might have been out for at least a few hours or so.
Golden Queen simply sighed inwardly with relief, and Pepper-Jack slapped the back of the new orb-formed Dreamcatcher since that was she was in real life right now though, "Good job lil petite. I see the lil one is all fine now." Dreamcatcher tiredly nodded at his words, and simply floated and now tiredly stated, also with a hint of something else in her voice as well, "I'm taking a nap. Don't disturb me at all." And before they could ask why, she quickly left the area to the room said teen picked out herself from this place. Which unknown to them she shifted back to her true self.
Dreamcatcher shook while now in her true form as she recalled the entire sudden memories the little girl had; both good and bad as she then did take a nap to sort them out as well as decide to tell the others or not. Mostly ones that isn't too personal that is.
Pepper-Jack then decided to take a nap as well, now seeing the look on his boss's face to him, and did just that without saying anything.
Golden Queen/Martha after he left had her gaze now softened to the two girls... Well the child and teenager, and she was simply out of character also while smiling at them; making them both look to her in surprise. Martha noticed Lucy was tired for real this time and filed to find out what happened from Dreamcatcher to what truly happened within the girl's mind later, since she also was pale when she stated that, as if the teen Doom Raider already knew her memories from the girl.
Martha then asked them with slight awkwardness, "Well. I guess it might be time to talk about who I am to you two as your cousin April guessed it right, but I was also known once as Martha Evans, your mother's twin, dear." She looked to Lucy as the child saw to be in shock at that. Martha knew she was sent there, maybe her home world thought it be better for her original mother to have a sister as well like before.
Lucy now yawned though before she could say anything as she then passed out from exhaustion, and this worried the two slightly as Golden Queen looked to April and gently told her, since she didn't want to reveal her true self to the other raiders as of yet unless something forced her to, "I would help you, but I don't want to look soft against the others since I am the Leader of the Doom Raiders, if you recall."
April nodded at this, since Lucy didn't weigh much at all to which she frowned at, but shrugged to ask her later and helped her cousin to the room.
April was slightly surprised she was sharing with not only Lucy, but Golden Queen or Aunt Gem/Martha as well. Since she was tired still from her adventure as the crystal agreed since she responded to April telling her it was her placing the barriers around them. She yawned and also passed out next to Lucy, whose tail wrapped around her right arm once more.
Portal Room area within Kaos's Chambers:
Kaos sighed to himself as he knew what he did was wrong but it needed to be done in order to use the child for activating the portal, since he was surprised before he brought the girl back to them, she,Lucy, already had metal in her system as it was mainly all her part of her bones, but it was living metal. But if he recalled right, the alloy he injected into the child will fuse with that, and probably changing some parts of her body to give her the ability to use it as well.
He was interrupted from his thoughts as his informer began to show through the portal he used to check on the real world, and he simply nodded to the person as he stated curiously to the covered entity, "Are you sure she is the key to the gate Mr. Shade?"
The person known as Mr. Shade simply nodded and spoke in a mature business-like tone for a man who seemed to be at least in his late twenties, but in a black cloak with the golden roman numbers that read four, on the left-breast side of his cloak. "Yes, she is Kaos. You were able to contact me, and I answered. You paid me, and I gave you what you needed. It's simple as that."
Kaos nodded to his contact as he did do what he meant.
Kaos then clasped his hands as he sat-up in his throne chair since he was mainly lying around in. "Of course now it is coming together, we might meet each other sooner than later I suppose?" Mr. Shade simply nodded, and had a hidden grin on his face as he replied, "Yes we will be meeting each other but not for a while since the coordinates to the location to the gate is very complicated, and might take some time. So my advice, keep those that want the child away from them, and make them busy doing stuff to keep them occupied. Might I suggest," He began to give some sort of advice, which got Kaos attention, "Summon that new fusion creature you were able to create with my help to deal with them. Might call it a somewhat test as you might say so, Kaos."
Kaos nodded slightly to that and he now simply pressed a button on his throne chair, and a quick yet sudden roar was now heard from underneath the castle then.
Something was then shot out from the bottom, and was sent to the area where the others landed. Since at this moment thanks to Mr. Shade's advice, he re-did has castle to float in the sky once more as its own island. He simply began to laugh wickedly, not knowing the other person on the other side, since Mr. Shade was wickedly looking at him under the hood as he refused to show his true self to him, and muttered one simple word: 'Fool' to Kaos.
Well that's another chapter down; I plan on them being in this connected part of both the worlds they are on, since it's connected to the gaming console back at the lair, for quite some time. So some new threats, new allies somehow, and new foes to face for the groups. What can go wrong this time? It's for me to decide on that.
I also like to mention, that anything you might find strange, well its part of the story, and me making Lucy a trouble magnet. Why not since in the Harry Potter franchise, he was indeed a magnet for trouble, but manages to pull through on anything he could do. Also infusing the same material Kaos used, but making him have alternative version flowing through his veins is also part of this small plot for that world in this story for Lucy. I also can give ya a hint, the person he's talking to isn't really called Mr. Shade, but a person that once stood next to Ansemakku as a one of his former generals, but which rank or title, you may have to find out in the next chapter since he was simply banished into a pocket dimension which contains his island, since it was once part of Skyland's.
Well that's all for now, peace out guys!
