Well it's good to be back hope this is a good chapter because I've got a big plan for this story. Remember I'm not gonna focus on characterizing Splinter for...reasons. Enjoy OH! Almost forgot! Side note
A team; Leo, Raph, Mikey, Casey, Slash Leatherhead and Pidgin Pete
B team; Donnie, April, and Rockwell
I DO NOT OWN TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE!
With Leo, Raph, and Mikey meeting with the rest of the A team to battle the Rat King, that left the B-team in charge of watching Splinter until given the que to remove the t-shield from his neck. Immediately after the A-team left, the B-team cautiously walked back into the dojo and saw that he was staring at the picture frame of an asian man, woman and a young baby who couldn't be anymore than one year old.
"Um.. Splinter?" Donnie called out with a shaky voice. This startled him as he almost dropped the frame
"Oh, I-I'm sorry. Am I not supposed to touch this?" he asked nervously as he handed Donnie the old wooded frame
"No no it's fine." Donnie insisted as he walked over his poor confused father "You need to look around this place and observe it closely. That'll help jog your memory." he said calmly "Here have some tea, you used to like this." the odd purple masked reptile handed the anxious rodent a warm cup of jasmine tea
"Thank you. (sips the tea) Wait.. weren't there three more of you?" he questioned
"Oh yeah those were my brothers."
"They went to find...(thinks about what to say) a unique kind of medicine to help restore your memories. We're gonna stay here with you in the mean time to keep you safe and answer any questions you may have for us." April finished his sentence
"Really. Oh thank you, can I really ask you anything?"
"Of course" said Rockwell as he laid some soft meditation mat "Why don't we sit down? We'll begin the questioning." Splinter just complied as every sat down in a circle in the middle of room
"Ok, Splinter," Donnie started "if we're gonna talk, I need to know.. how much exactly do you memory?" asked Donnie
Splinter just looked at his hands and long, pink tail "When I woke up, I was shocked by my appearance. I guess that means I might remember being a human at some point. So what happened? How am I like this, and how did I come to have... turtles as children?"
Donnie was a little sad but understanding at how off put Splinter was by the concept of loving such strange creatures. The one being who saw him and his brothers for who they truly were and he was essentially gone. He picked up the frame from right next to his side on the floor. "Well (looks at the photo) it actually starts with this man in the picture.."
(MEANWHILE IN THE SEWERS)
Leo, Raph, and Mikey stood in the Rye Avenue sewers waiting for the rest of their A-team. Which didn't take long as Casey Jones and the rest of the Mutanimals arrived from separate paths.
"Yo guys we're here!" yelled the vigilante. When Mikey saw the gentle giant alligator, he smiled with glee
"Leatherhead!" he ran over to him and hugged him lovingly
"Ha, ha. It's good to see again, Michelangelo" he smiled and gently hugged him back
"Ha Hey Slash, what's up, man?" Raph fist bumped his former pet
"Nothing much, Brother" said Slash with a smile "Wish we didn't have to meet at a time like this."
"Agreed" Leo said with a straight face "You got Rockwell's call?"
"Wouldn't be here if we didn't. So fill us in on the mission again,"
"It's the Rat King." stated Raph "He gave Splinter amnesia and plans to convince him that he's his willing servant. He's gonna completely rearrange his brain"
"What?!" exclaimed Pete. "Oh my gosh, that's horrible!"
"Calm down, Pete." soothed Slash "It'll be alright"
"great..." mumbled Casey "more giant rats..." he suttered in fear
"Is Splinter alright?" asked Leatherhead as his small friend released him from their warm friendly hug.
"Well that was the bad news. The good news is that while he does have amnesia, it doesn't seem he has any fake memories so we stopped him in time."
"Ahhh I see Donnie and Rockwell got that telepathy shield working" the hulking turtle put two and two together
"Exactly" said Leo " Speaking of which, those two and April are back at the lair guarding Sensei."
"Okay, so what do you need us for?" asked Pete
"The Rat King has a massive army of rats, including some crazy giant ones all under his control." explained Raph
"Yeah and we need you guy to help us fight him." added Mikey
"I'd hate to admit this, but we have to kill this guy for the safety of the city and Master Splinter" Leo lowered his head regretfully
"I know it hurts, Leonardo, but we must do what we have protect this city." said Leatherhead putting a caring hand on his shoulder. The blue turtle sighed and nodded in understanding
"So are we gonna do this or what?" Casey asked pulling out his hockey stick
"Right" Raph pulled out his sais "Let's nail this creep into the wall!"
"For Splinter!" yelled Pete
"Alright team let's head out!" ordered Slash as he ran ahead with everyone following him. However, unbeknownst to them was a tiny rat with glowing red eyes spying on them from the shadows
(RAT KING'S LAIR)
The rat spying on them was being used as the Rat King's eyes and ears, he heard everything that the misfit team of Mutants plus Casey discussed
He stood up from his thorn and paced the floor "Ahhhh so what's been separating me from my minion. My old partner has allied himself with my old foes. No matter (pets one of his giant rats) this is merely a hiccup in my plans for Splinter." he was interrupted by one of the rats squeaking "(pets it) There, there, Aristotle. I know you would to have your brother returned to you, and I promise that you shall soon have your wish. This..telepathy shield is a minor setback, but when the time is right, I shall have Splinter in my grasp, he shall learn his place in this world and we shall rule this world for our rat brethren! AH HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!"
