OK so here is where the Heroes Seriously begin to get ready, and I realize it might be a bit of a stretch that Don would be unreconizable to the Wranglers simply by taking off his mask but I mean the Wranglers are suffering from brain damage from the electronic brainwashing.
The next day Don approached the Fellowship Crew with his idea, they were skeptical.
"The Wranglers filmed you when they captured you and Belladonna." Ichabod said
"They filmed me with my mask on..." Don said "...However, he untied his bandana tails, because it was so rare for any of them other than Belladonna to see him without his mask, when they could...Actually see his pupils, they had to concur he did in quite a few ways look like a totally different creature without his mask on...
"What about your other ninja accessories?" Bill asked "Your weapons?"
"I know." Don said "I'm willing to leave all my stuff behind to rely on my Ninja wits." Don said firmly "With all the machines in the Wrangler Cities it will quickly become 'I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped in here with me' situation."
However Edward Green was already seeing Don's cockiness in his abilities begin to show "Those machines have been with us for thousands of years..." Edward said standing up "...Do you not think a Humanimal Slave couldn't think to use any of them against us? It isn't just the limits to Humanimal Imagination that prevented them from doing so because Humanimals with good imaginations do occur time and time again through natural mutation..."
Edward went right up to Don "And time and time again..." Edward said "...There have been Humanimal Slave Revolts particurally on Viola Strierra, the reason my Mother chose to remain in the Wrangler Empire rather than free the Humanimals and become part of the Federation was because it was personal to her, when she was five years old, revolting Humanimals killed her Mother...MY Grandmother! So for her entire life she's been under the belief that those filthy animals must be kept down so that Humanity may flourish!"
The Turtles quickly realized Edward's point to Lady Gloria it was personal, and that motivation, grief, was the same emotion that drove Master Splinter so when going up an opponant driven like that it didn't matter that their reasoning may be wrong the fact they believe it with all their hearts can make them very dangerous opponants.
"But at the same time..." Edward said as he looked Don up and down "...I can see that you out of all your brothers has a chance at this plan, because out of all your brothers you...How can I phrase this...It's not that you have the least pride out of all your brothers it's that you don't take pride in the same things they do, since you're the pasifist in your family, you're not as attached to your pride as a warrior and as the most logical of your brothers you're simply not as easily offended as your brothers which means you alone will be able to take the Slave 'Etiquette Training'
Don felt a child go down his shell.
"I will help teach you how to properly behave as a Humanimal Slave if you are to go undercover as one." Edward said "As I had been training Humanimal Slaves ever since I was a child I know what I'm talking about, and because of Mother's senstivity to slave revolts the People of Viola Strierra are trained to be sensitive to Humanimals who act peculuar and by that I mean don't act suffiantly submissive, I will train you how to tolerate being poked and prodded like an animal, you will have to bury the warrior and learn to be contantly insulted and belittled as you are given orders all without visably bristling at the indignity, you simply bow and respond with 'Yes, Sir,' or 'Yes, Ma'am' to jump specifically when your Master says jump!"
Don realized now what this meant, that this would be the most grueling test of disipline and restraint he had ever faced!
So here Don is doing this not just cuz he's my favorite Turtle but because he's got the personality requirement to act out the part of the Humanimal Slave, it's hard to imagine Raph, Leo or even Mikey being able to tolerate what most Humanimals go through and not so much as bristle at the constant humilations
