I have returned from GS camp, not only with a collection of bug bites and sunburns, but new Eragon/Turtles ideas! (I also had a few weird dreams involving Sonic the Hedgehog….) Please review; I'd love to hear what people think about the first Turtles/Eragon crossover. And just saying this beforehand, as long as it's not pretty much the same thing as mine, I don't care if someone else wishes to post another crossover of the same kind. The more the merrier!
Donnie continued to stare at the swirling nebula in the sky. "Donnie?" Leo said, "Donnnnieeee? Hello-o?"
"Here, I'll fix him." Raph said, clambering down next to Donnie and slapping him upside the head.
Donnie glared at Raph; "What was that for?!" he cried.
Raph replied with a devilish smirk, "Well, it was partially because you weren't responding, and partially because it's fun!" He slapped his brother again.
"What's up, Donnie?" Leo said, joining his other brothers on the stairwell.
"THAT is up." He said, pointing at the swirly violet-indigo spot in the sky.
"What IS that?" Leo asked, looking intently at the mark.
"If I knew, then why would I be STARING AT IT?!" Donnie exclaimed angrily.
Raph glanced at him; "Geez. Cool down." He said.
"I think it's pretty!" Mikey shouted, hopping up behind his brothers.
Donnie turned to look at him, and a look of horror spread across his face. "Mikey!" he exclaimed, rushing over to him, "I forgot about you! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, dude." Mikey said before suddenly pointing at the dark swirl, "What the heck is that?!"
"What's what?" Donnie said, turning to look at that befuddling swirl yet again. Nothing seemed different, until he noticed a small speck shot out of it. A big black shape followed it, swirling around and catching the little dot.
"What is that thing?" Leo exclaimed.
"It looks like the Kraang mutated a lizard and a bat." Donnie said.
"I think it looks like a dragon!" Mikey shouted.
"You idiot." Raph said, "Dragons don't exist!" A jet of flames shot out of the creature's mouth. "And it's a dragon."
The "dragon" let out a deep roar and started to plummet. It beat its wings, one seemed a bit crumpled and deformed, and choppily fluttered towards the city's edge. A higher snarl echoed from the swirling nebula that the turtles realized was some kind of portal. A much smaller blue "dragon" walked out of the portal, unfurled its wings, and took off after the black dragon. The swirly portal then promptly vanished. By now, more than just the turtles had noticed this supernatural display. A crowd of New Yorkers had gathered on the street and were pointing and gawking at the strange sights. Reporters spoke to cameras trained on the portal, interviewing science officials about their opinion on this strange phenomenon.
"We have to get out of here." Leo said softly, "There are too many people. We could be seen."
Raph grabbed Leo as he climbed down and heaved him back onto the stair. "Leo, there are DRAGONS out there." He said, "DRAGONS! If we don't figure out what's happening here, they just might get our covers blown anyway!" Leo stared resolutely at his brother. "Would Captain Ryan run away from a dragon if HE saw one?" Raph asked, inwardly groaning.
Leo stood up and confidently said, "No. And neither will I."
The turtles traversed across the city's roof, dodging the flashlight beams and camcorders of curious citizens. Eventually, they came upon a high-rise on the city's outskirts. A forested area lay off to its side. Smoke furled from the branches, thick and dark.
"Let's go." Leo said, sliding down the building's side.
"Donnie…." Mikey asked panicky, "Are we really gonna fight dragons?"
"Nonsense, Mikey. Dragons aren't real." Donnie replied. A flaming burst and a deep bellowing roar blasted from the woods. "We'll just have to wait and see." He quickly added.
Eragon explored the wooded area Galbatorix had landed in, plucking an umbrella-like plant off the ground. "Whatever these plants are…." He said, "They are certainly not Alagaesian."
Saphira glanced over at Eragon, a limp deer between her teeth. "But the animals certainly are." She said, snapping up the doe carcass, "And they are delicious."
"You know I won't eat meat, Saphira, so why must you taunt me with it?" Eragon said, examining thorny red brushwood.
"Because it is fun." She answered.
"I need to find some edible plants." Eragon said, fingering a three-leaved vine running along a tree before jumping back and rubbing his hands on his shirt, "And none of these seem to be anything I can eat, let alone touch. The plant life here is very hostile and energized, nothing like the calm mellow trees of Ellesmera."
"This isn't Ellesmera, Eragon." Saphira said, getting up and looking down on him, "I don't even think this is Alagaesia."
"Oh, do you think we're on Sharktooth?" Eragon asked, cautiously picking a little plant with three round leaves off the ground and spinning it between his forefinger and thumb.
"No." she replied, "I don't think we're in Alagaesia at all."
Eragon spun around, staring at Saphira. "You mean a different planet?" He asked, now thoroughly nervous.
"A different world." Saphira said, staring at stars forming foreign constellations. A sudden rustling in the distance attracted both their attentions. Voices could be heard chattering, getting louder by the second.
"I'm telling you Raph, we aren't gonna be able to find this thing!" Leo exclaimed, dodging a poison ivy tendril swinging in front of his head.
"Its big, its blue, its black, its sparkly…." Raph replied, "We'll find one or the other eventually."
"Eventually being the key word." Donnie muttered to Mikey.
Raph looked over his shoulder and glared at his younger brothers, only to crash headlong into a tree. All three of his brothers skidded to a stop and began to laugh uncontrollably, hard enough that Mikey and Leo began to cry. Donnie stopped laughing and stared into the area past the fallen turtle.
"Donnie?" Mikey choked, still laughing, "Earth to Donnie. Hello-o-o, Donnie, are you in there?"
"Guys…." Donnie said with a tinge of terror, "I think we found what we're looking for." As Raph removed his head from the tree it had become imbued in, Mikey and Leo followed Donnie's gaze to a large reptilian monster, shaking its big blue wings. She reached out her wingtip and poked the boy at her side. Eragon glanced up, holding a small bloom of clover.
"Look." She said silently, gesturing at their companions. He traced her gesture to the turtles and looked at them with a slightly confused, yet not scared expression.
Leo was the first to break the silence, saying, "Well Mikey. You were right. It is a dragon."
"Boo-yah!" Mikey shouted, pumping his fist, "Score one for Mikey!"
So there you have it. Eragon and Saphira have now met Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael. I know there has been a recent gap in my daily posts, but sadly there is going to be another. From the 7th to the 10th I will be in Sandusky on vacation, so you'll have to wait FOUR WHOLE DAYS for a chapter. Also, concerning my other story, An Honest Mistake, I will leave it up for vote until I return from vacation, then I will go with the winner at that time. There are currently four votes for Leo and none for Raph. Thanks to those of you who voted.
