Thanks for the reviews everyone, I hope you enjoy this chapter! And bluepickles92, you're right, it started getting annoying as I typed it, but then again in "You Have No Idea," I hated making Leo act and talk that way to Don, but I imagined it would receive more responses if everything wasn't perfect.
Now to chapter 22. Three left, that's right people 25 chapters, plus the prologue, so technically there's 26.
The epilogue possibility depends on the kind of ending I have for this story. Happy, sad, or bittersweet, unfortunately, this time it's not your choice.
I don't own TMNT, but I do love playing with my TMNT action figures and their own BattleShell! I'm going to listen to all their theme songs while writing this chapter:
Let's see the 80's turtles' first song, then the later one (Which is kind of lame), the Movies' songs, Next Mutation, all the ones for the 2k3 series, Fast Forward, then Back to the Sewer, and then the CGI movie soundtracks TURTLES RULE! I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW LIVE ACTION MOVIE!
Truthfully, despite having such a story as "You Have No Idea", I don't like the CGI movie. I was more surprised when I was told it was considered the fourth one in the series, it makes no sense compared to the others. Well, I better stop before I rant for pages and page on end!
"WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE!"
Leo had just come out of the dojo from his evening meditation only to find the main room covered in pink slime from floor to ceiling and was that cheese all over the couch? His eyes traveled over the scene before that locked on target, said target, or targets, were Donatello and Michelangelo. They were both trying to escape the sticky slime and yell at each other at the same time. When they realized that their oldest brother was glaring at them and waiting for an explanation they pointed at each other.
"HE DID IT!"
The blue banded turtle sighed before he raised a hand to his head, feeling on oncoming migraine, "Never mind, I don't want to know the details, just please clean this up."
"Hey! Huh, what the shell happened here?" Raph said, his blue eyes scanning the scene as he walked in from the doorway to the sewers.
"I told Mikey not to bother me while I was working on that cleaning solution!" Don protested, slinging some of the slime into Mikey's face.
The youngest wiped it away and glared back at his purple banded older brother, "But I'm bored, and Raph's always gone."
The red masked turtle rolled his eyes, "Mikey if you so much as even think about filling my hammock with bugs again, I'll rip your tongue out."
"Sensei, are you going to let him say that?"
Leo smirked, "Well, as violent as his revenge usually is, it can be quite an effective teaching strategy."
"That's not fair!" Mikey yelled.
"Just clean this up," Leo said while glaring down at the youngest turtles, who were still attempting to get out of the slime and onto their feet, which they were failing at horribly.
Raph sighed and jumped over the slime puddle, since it was covering the space in front of the door.
"Nice jump," Leo commented to the side.
"Thanks sensei," Raph said respectively while bowing his head towards his teacher.
Leo glanced over at the red banded turtle and thought back to when he had been the same way with his own master. Of course, that was one thing he wouldn't allow. Having his brothers referring to him as their sensei was strange enough, but he shuddered at the thought of them calling him 'Master Leonardo". That was one thing he immediately derailed from their ethical decision making from the beginning.
"Sensei, can I talk to you? In private?" Raph asked.
"Of course," Leo said and headed for the dojo, his red banded brother in tow.
When they door closed on their little brothers disputes Raph's usual, neutral scowl fell into a worried frown.
"What's wrong Raph?" Leo said softly.
Raph fidgeted nervously for a second, his old habit reappeared as he twisted his foot against the stones of the floor. Leo only used their nicknames when he was confused and worried.
"Uh, I took the new route for my patrol across the city."
"What happened?"
Raph glanced back at the door, "I ran into someone. A woman."
"You showed yourself to a human?"
"She knew me though, it was really weird, but-"
"Wait! What did she look like."
"She said her name was Karai."
Leo almost fell back in shock.
"She gave me this," Raph said, tentatively holding out a piece of black cloth.
Leo reached out cautiously, taking it carefully and turning it over in his hand. When the red Foot symbol met his eyes, his head snapped to the door.
"Raphael, get your brothers, it's time I tell you all, everything."
Ok a short chapter but I wanted to get it up today.
