So Rise of the TMNT has been like the Krang for me as have separated AUs. I got a Rise Brain Rot. Then I saw the first chapter/Prologue to CupcakeSlushie's separated AU went down a Rabbit hole discovered many more. Then felt there was a distinct lack of Mikey or Mikey Raised by Draxum and as Legacy first came to be distinct lack of Stories with Sora having a son on his own adventures. I decided to make one. Legacy isn't dead I'm just taking a break I'm also itching to get this out!
Also Attila=Mikey he'll get his real name eventually.
I own nothing except the stuff I made up!
Incipit Spirae
The forever magically conjured orange and green sky of the area around him in the area of the devil's backbone was a bit cooler today. Which was good, because He had wanted to practice outside; He could see the large mystic crystal the lab's power source bathing bits of the area in a magenta light, which even blended with the sky a way that made a beautiful gradient. But he would never be allowed to paint it. He wasn't allowed to do anything except train for his purpose. But that wouldn't stop him.
Atilla began practicing Capoeira. It was a type of dancing fighting style used by the humans. Fortunately it had made its way here enough that Draxum wouldn't pick up on it being in human culture. According to the Yokai he saw using it. Humans used it to escape their captors other humans. Draxum had always taught him that humans were cruel and vicious. It definitely sounded like it the way they captured and enslaved their own kind. But at least there was a cool fighting style out of it. He liked dancing too. And Draxum can't say he wasn't practicing how to fight if it was a dance style. At least that's how it worked with Muggin and Huggin. He wasn't about to risk it with Draxum.
He took a spin swing with his hand before doing half a cartwheel into a kick. He repeated the other away. He twisted his body around to where he kicked up while doing a backflip. However before he could try a spinning move a voice screamed his name.
"Attila!" boomed a deep voice that made Attila freeze and fall. He quickly straightened himself up. And stood attention, he looked upon his Creator. Who glared down at him with yellow eyes magenta fur surrounding them underneath his golden mask with large horns that jagged out and up like powerful sharp weapons, it matched the rest of the mask save the blue face plate which was mystic and moved with his face. It was a similar armor to what he wore on his legs and upper arms though the latter had a bit of a veiny look. He had a duster that covered his front and back waist that was a more teal green while the spiked gauntlets were more of a blue teal same with the torso armor all of them rimmed in gold.
Attila shrunk a little but tried not to begin to retract into his shell that would only make him angrier. "I was just practicing hand to hand combat sir."
"Then do it properly, not those strange erratic movements that waste time!" Draxum growled.
"Yes Sir," Attila muttered meekly. He changed his stance standing his legs wide apart and, and his arms in a ninety degree angle at his sides and began punching, as Draxum watching circling around him keeping an eye out for flaws in his form as Attila kicked.
"Remember Attila, your immense power and skill. Makes you the spear head of the army that will destroy humanity and restore Yokai to the surface, once the Oozequitos have been released your training will intensify."
Attila shifted a little thankfully Draxum didn't notice. He resisted the urge to grip his shoulder. "I…know," he said regaining his composure "You've told me this all my life, a thousand times weekly." He drawled a little a sharp glare from Draxum made him quickly mutter an apology.
"I repeat it constantly, because it seems to have trouble being engrained into you. Shall we talk about your bleeding heart? Your refusal to destroy?" he asked with a warning growl.
"No sir, sorry sir." Attila muttered as he continued training. This went on for what felt like forever until Draxum muttered at him to stop. Attila stood attention. Bowing slightly as he nervously sucked in a breath.
"Sir I would like to go watch the portal now," Attila muttered. "For the guards, I mean. I can also practice my Mystic Powers out there."
"You've never been eager to do Mystic training after physical training before," Draxum muttered curiously as he thought for a moment. "I'll allow it."
Attila hid his smile bowing quickly and running off and past the front of the mansion expertly crossing the dragon back bone towards where the guards were supposed to return with the agent. He was unaware of Draxum watching him eyes narrowing.
X X X
Attila rushed out towards a cave that looked over the portal where the Guards would return. He decided one of the pictures he would draw was the sky mixed with the crystal light. He pulled out a large burlap bag and some paper with a drawing board he had kept hiding in a cloaking spell. He placed it down then with the paper. He began to set out some paint and markers one of which immediately sprouted eyes.
"Hi!" The Marker said. Attila immediately burst into a large smile with a laugh.
"Hi Klunky," Attila said happily as the marker immediately changed into a smallish kitten she grinned with a giggle as Attila giggled back. He let the small white Spirit cat put a soft paw on his beak as he took the other of her brown paws in his hand. Her orange ears surrounding her small brown tuft of head fur perking as she purred. She had big yellow eyes and a beautiful aqua colored gem on her forehead. He used his free hand to pet her. Her fur was so soft. He had been learning not to pet her too hard and hold her gently. He was getting so much better. Unlike Draxum, Klunk would simply go 'ow' and 'hurt' when he, pet her too hard when they first met. But trusted him to get better, even learn at his own pace. But he had to figure out pressure on his own.
"You want to help me paint a picture?" Attila asked.
"Yeah!" Klunk replied excitedly. Changing her orange tipped forked tail into a hand like Attila's even down to the same cerulean green as his skin, Attila immediately grabbed the closest green paint he found to that of the sky. Klunk grabbed an orange as they began painting Klunk stretched her tail using broad strokes as the bright orange mixed with the strange mystic colored green Attila had found. He used smaller strokes that he blended and spread with another art tool. Once the base of the painting was done Attila grinned. "Good now we just need the magenta from the crystal!" he said and pulling something from his pocket.
"Check it! I managed to sneak this while Draxum wasn't looking!" Attila said pulling out some mystic paint. It glew in the same shade as the crystal, Klunk oohed in awe as Attila opened the jar and placed it down both of them took their brushes and began stroking Attila blending as Klunk did large strokes.
"You're getting good at this!" Attila said happily.
"Klunk an artist!" She said proudly puffing out her chest.
"You sure are!" Attila said patting her head affectionately. His purple eyes filling with warmth but they quickly faded when a familiar now furious voice boomed out.
"You've been doing art, Again!?" Draxum snarled as Attila hurried Klunk away. He was roughly grabbed around his arms, legs, torso and neck and pulled out. He was now forced to look at Draxum who glared his eyes bright with fury. "What have I told you!?" he snarled.
"I don't….belong in that world!" Attila muttered fearfully.
"And yet you still insist on entering it!" Draxum growled. Klunk watched in fear from a nearby rock. "Search the cave, bring everything you find here!" Draxum commanded. Attila heard a small whisper of sorry from the Gargoyles as they entered and soon all of his art supplies were piled in front of them. Instantly Draxum readied several of his vines gathering them all up and crushing them effortlessly. Attila winced as he heard everything get smashed.
However soon coming through the portal were the two guards Draxum had sent for earlier. Large fish looking armored warriors on Yokai hounds. One had a human in his arms who was asking to be let go timidly. Then came the other one, Attila was dropped when he gasped seeing him with a capture orb with a small yellow and blue Yokai with a monkey like nose, large blue rimmed ears and head going down his head that turned into a flame like pattern down his back. He had red markings on his eyes on smaller marking on his head and a red tuft of chest fur around his neck. With matching markings around his eyes, wide with worry and fear, large fang like canines curling outward as it growled at Draxum. around his neck lastly was a small vial of bright lime green Empyrean. Draxum had heard him gasp though. And he wasn't an idiot.
"Attila you seem to know this Yokai," He asked in an icy calm like the eye of a storm. "Did you give him the Empyrean?"
"I…" Attila began stuttering.
"Answer me," Draxum said with a tranquil fury.
"I….I….Yes…." he squeaked scrunching his eyes shut knowing what was going to happen when vines began to gather around him again.
"YOU INSOLENT-"Draxum roared going to strike Attila when suddenly a large cat with spots lunged at Draxum and tried to bite at his neck only for Draxum to effortlessly lift her away by the jaws and throw her with all his might into a nearby wall there was a small whine as the cat changed back into Klunk who was tearing up and wincing in pain.
"KLUNK!" Attila shouted running over to her and looking her over. "Are you okay," She nodded and hid in his Gi. He wrapped her arms around. "It'll be okay…" he said not really believing it himself. Draxum got up refusing the help of the two Gargoyles who went to his side. The Armor had protected him but he had still suffered a couple of punctures in his shoulder from where she jumped on his back. He glared down at the two.
"You've kept this Spirit Cat as a pet didn't you!?" Draxum growled as Attila placed Klunk behind him. He could tell Draxum was getting angrier. "Kill it…now," he growled as Klunk began whimpering.
"No!" Attila begged. "She's done nothing wrong! It's all me! Punish me!" Attila begged. "I don't care what you do to me! Just let her go!" he stated literally bowing like a toad at his creator's feet.
"Groveling to your opponent, disgusting!" Draxum snarled; grabbing him by the arm and roughly yanking him up as he took the captured agent in the other hand. He turned to Huggin and Muggin who were obviously quiet throughout the whole thing. "Get rid of her," he growled.
"Yes sir!" they said standing attention and both grabbed Klunk as she struggled they carried her away.
"Atti!" Klunk cried out struggling wildly.
"Klunk!" Attila called reaching for her futilely as he was yanked along so fast he couldn't keep up and had trouble keeping with Draxum's pace.
"The Oozequitos are to be prepared tonight. There's no time for anymore nonsense." He growled before looking at Attila who gulped. "But trust me you'll be punished for this soon enough."
As they entered the large room with a large towering device with small cages below attached to release ooze into their targets. Green lights shone brightly up and down the tower with one large one as its source of power and in a tank lower down were small red lights and buzzing flashes of purple and grey indicating the Oozequitos. Were ready to be loaded, Draxum now had everything he need. He had placed the human in one cage. And the Agent in the other, with a force field so it couldn't escape. It tried constantly to teleport out like it had when he gave it the Empyrean. All he wanted though was to avoid harsher training. The kind he had was living hell.
"If you're the guy who keeps calling about the calamari; fine its pig butts." He admitted.
"Eww," Attila growled in disgust. "You don't even have the common courtesy to use a meat part that isn't gross?!"
"Well I can tell you the Crab cakes are real." The Human replied somewhat cheerfully. He had a blue sweater blond hair wearing, a bike helmet large ear lobes with an injury he was making worse with the discs for some reason and a spot on his fore head.
"Quiet, Attila, as for you human, I have no interest in your petty cakes of crab." Draxum drawled as Huggin and Muggin jumped off his shoulders scaring the human to the back of his cage.
"But we'd like to hear more about those Pig Butts." Muggin stated as Huggin laughed at his fear. Attila turned to the Agent who Draxum had turned his attention on. It proceeded to glare at Draxum and press itself against the back of the cage as he reached in.
"I thank you for returning my vial," he said. "It was purposely misplaced." He added giving Attila a side glare.
Attila gulped and looked down as Draxum went towards the machine with a small hole for the valve. He turned to the human. "You're about to be part of an experiment, that will change the very world as we know it!"
"Alright!" the Human said somewhat excitedly unaware of the fate that was instore. Attila was about to say something but Draxum shot him a look.
"Go stand guard Attila!" he commanded.
"Right, stand guard." Attila miserably replied pulling on his mask. And keeping an eye out as Draxum placed the vial into the machine allowing the Empyrean to pour out and fly up to the top of the machine as a large bubbly mass appeared and the Oozequitos quickly flew up and began sucking it. One flew down and into Draxum's hand as he gently pinched it between two fingers. The Oozequito holding still as he carried it back to the Human. The cage's bars turned into ropes that held the teen up.
"So is this gonna hurt?" He asked.
"It will, if I'm doing it right," Draxum replied. As he placed the Oozequito on the teen's head and it immediately stuck its nose into his face and pumped in the Ooze. There was nothing could Attila breathe in relief?
"Hey that wasn't so bad," The Teen Began before his face contorted in pain as he began to glow a lime green light. And contorting in a way that Attila had to look away and cover his ears from it sounded so horrible to him. He could sense Draxum turn his way and he immediately removed his hands and opened his eyes. He looked up at the Shadow of a crab instead however the teen had been changed into a purple fish with hair from his human form. His hands were long like fins now at the side of his face were those ear things. And he now had yellow eyes and a large dark purple lip. He flailed as if unable to process his new body.
"I just got used to Acne now this!? AHHHHHHH!" he screamed his arms flailing behind him as he fled. Attila had to hide his sympathy as he turned to Draxum.
"Sir he's getting away." Attila said.
"Shouldn't we go after him?" Muggin asked. Draxum wasn't listening he was more concerned with the Ooze working.
"The Mutation worked just like it did all those years ago!" Draxum said with slight excitement in his voice as he smiled at Attila "I'll soon have my Army, with you as my General!"
Attila nervously forced a grin under his mask. "Hooray! That's amazing Lord Draxum!" he said nervously with a small chuckle. "I sure don't miss Klunk right now!" he hissed under his breath, fidgeting his hands nervously.
It was soon after Muggin and Huggin started poking at the Agent. "You don't have to do that you know!" he growled at them low enough so Draxum wouldn't hear he looked at his Oozequito.
"At last after all these years I can continue my work!" he said staring at the Oozequito that had bit the Teen. It still had some ooze in it. Attila hung his head a little. Draxum looked at him making Attila stand strict in attention. However suddenly there was the sound of something crashing that caught both of their attentions.
Out came blurs of green, Red, purple, blue and yellow. "What!?" Both asked together.
The largest turtle, to Attila's shock, had red shorts matching belt and bands on his body. With a red face mask that covered the top of his head. He was more buff than Draxum but still looked young. He had a large spiky shell dark green with dark red tips. The Spikes on his arms had patches of red on his spikes the ones on his elbows extended past the bands on his arms a bit. His brown eyes flared in determination as he curled back his lips to reveal a snaggle fang and large powerful teeth. "Alright you incredibly, unusually, buff book worm!" He said pointing at Draxum. "Give us the little guy! And you walk out of here, with your horns still attached!"
Attila was surprised. Who in their right mind, threatened Barron Draxum like he wasn't capable of ripping someone apart in response? "Shouldn't we stop him from creating Crab men, and find a way get back home?" asked the lime green turtle with yellow markings down to his fore-arm with two of them curving up onto his shoulders and stopping at his neck. He was sitting with the mystic Odachi looking smug until just now. He had gold eyes like the purple clad turtle behind him. But had a bluish-teal, grey shell and matching fingerless gloves and stockings rimmed in blue. He wore a blue mask but it didn't cover his head like the other two. The belts over his chest matched in color and Attila could barely catch some kind of emblem. There were red curved stripes going down his face and curving around behind his head like they were surrounding ears.
"Good notes! Okay!" the biggest turtle declared. "Give us the little guy, find us a way out of here and stop making Crab men!-"
"Imitation crab men," said the purple clad one. His shoulder and elbow pads were large and poofy like they were meant to be as comfortable as they were armor. Speaking of Armor he had a large, shell armor over his back, attached to a purple belt, and silver goggles and a silver gauntlet on his left arm. Attila caught glimpses of purple markings two zig-zags on his shoulders but the ones on his arms were Asymmetrical two lines on one arm and simply one line on the other. Both of his legs had the same markings though. And when he had said that, he had said it looking emotionally unavailable.
"Good note!" the biggest turtle said as the human girl beside him with dark red hair pulled up in pig tails, with red pointed glasses and a yellow shirt and grey pants, underneath her jacket with chocolate skin groaned.
"It can't be!" Draxum muttered in shock.
As the three began talking over each other, Attila finally processed what he was looking at. Three, other mutant turtles and Draxum seemed to know them. The way they stood ready for a fight and how two of them had taken the Mystic Tongas and Odachi. It matched up with the two like they were made for them. The purple one and his strange Bo basically went with their dynamic without question. Like they were part of a set or a Team, Attila's eyes got big as he was instantly endeared towards them.
"They're just like me," he muttered longingly. He stared at them a bit longer as the blue one asked the red one to take things from the top again. But suddenly the girl with pigtails suddenly shouted, leaping while holding a green club swinging back behind her to the shock of the other turtles.
"APRRRRIILLLLLLL O'NEEEEEEEEIIIILLLLL!" she shouted rushing towards them and tumbling with sheer unadulterated adrenaline.
"Ohmigosh she's jumping right in!" Attila cried pointing at the crazy human.
"Focus!" Draxum barked as she landed on the cage and began trying to pull away at the bars with her teeth. Huggin and Muggin attacked her pulling at her hair however as they began flying away with her, she in turn attacked them relentlessly.
"Be ready to fight!" Draxum ordered as Attila pulled out his Kurosai hoping to scare them off when this was done. They looked untrained especially the blue one who was sliding down the vines, Draxum had sent out, screaming how much he hated it. The other two were faring better the large turtle even deflecting one vine with his Tongas that was trying to knock him off. Draxum then countered with several seeds into the ground. Out came one of his large robots.
"What the!?" shouted the purple one.
"Seriously?!" the Red one gasped.
"Eww it looked at me!" the Blue one cried.
The large purple robot with legs like Draxum and gold bits and a large red eye grabbed the vines and whipped them sending the three flying and crashing into the ground they groaned getting up the large one had managed to land more safely than the other two.
"This one's got some spice!" Attila heard Huggin shout as he turned to look at the three still fighting.
"Humans aren't spicy though….." Attila thought confused by the comment.
"Capture those specimens," Draxum shouted pointing at the turtles. Attila was relieved he wouldn't have to be forced to kill again today. Also they seemed to be self-taught two of them anyway and he'd rather fight someone like that then some punk kids that bit off more than they could chew. However the blue turtle suddenly surprised Attila with natural talent. He had expertly dodged a punch then cleanly sliced through one of the legs, making the robot cry out in pain before it fell to one knee and threw rocks at the Red and Purple one. The two charged jumping up and parkouring across the falling slabs the purple one gave him a boost with his Bo allowing him to get higher as he reared back for a punch with the Tongas in his hand.
"HOT SOUP!" shouted punching mostly crashing into the head of the robot. The purple one had jumped to the side suddenly his armor sprouted some sort of jet they lit up in a purple light as he took a stance with his bo which to Attila's shock suddenly sprouted rockets on both side. They began to spin to where the purple turtle lost control of it.
"No, no, no look out guys!" he shouted as the others dodged the weapon flew towards the robot and hit it square in the head before the force twisted it and caused it to spin and crash into the ground exploding defeated it. Draxum and Attila braced themselves against the smoke as the purple one turned his weapon into a stick with some weirdly shaped seeing crystal at the end of it.
"Nailed it!" he shouted striking a pose as the smoke burst out around him.
"He did that without a mystic weapon that's amazing!" Attila shouted in awe.
"Accidentally impressive," Draxum said in awe to the shock of Attila Draxum was hard to impress. "With a bit of training you'd be almost as formable as this one here." He said shoving Attila forward he let out a small yelp.
The Blue one eyed them for a second before quickly straightening up into a pose placing the sword on his shell behind his head and clearing his throat. "Okay, well great and since you're both surrendering-" He began as Draxum cut him off with a chuckle.
"Baron Draxum does not surrender." He declared coldly.
"Okay, well when he gets here we'll deal with hi-"the Blue one responded before a light went off in his head with a laugh. "I see you're doing that whole sinister talking in the third person thing." He said wriggling his free hand wildly to picture his point. The Red one jumped up.
"Only Raph can use the third person!" he declared. He got back into a battle stance. "Come on guys it's time to put our training to use!" he said charging.
"What training!?" the blue one cried as the purple one who had been sitting and messing with his crystal simply flew up with his strange wings. "You guys have been training!?" he asked confirming to Attila that he was right about the blue turtle.
Draxum didn't move, "Attila, show them your power!" he commanded as the turtles were coming. Attila took a breath and readied his Kurosai; he spun it expertly and sent it flying at them. The blue one had yelped and ducked before swinging his sword at him. It then had Attila, having a whip versus sword fight with him as the two weapons crashed.
The Blue turtle swinging the Odachi wildly as he had the chain and ball dance against the blade. He swung it upwards to come crashing down as the blue one back flipped out of the way. Attila quickly followed up with another whip from an angle as it made the blue one trip over his own feet. Then this Raph immediately charged after him. Attila duck and weaved under his punches he quickly used his size to his advantages landing tiny hits on his joints which messed up his movement before he landed a kick in his face making him fall back.
The purple one rushed in immediately after the Red one hit the ground. He was expertly using the Bo to jab and hit him. In spite of Attila's efforts, he got a hit in. but The Box turtle jumped back and quickly shook off the hit and wrapped his Kurosai around the Bo. The purple turtle held on tightly yelling at him to let go of his tech. When he couldn't shake him off Attila Simply threw him into the blue one who was charging at them. He recalled his Kurosai and kept it spinning eyeing the turtles carefully.
"You three could be great, provided you don't hold back." He said with a slight hiss at Attila who shrunk a little. It was then Huggin fell between everyone they looked down.
"Sorry boss…." He muttered in a daze as Huggin followed crashing into him. Then the human came down and attacked grabbing Muggin with her mouth and shaking wildly. Before charging into Huggin who screamed in fear and pain.
"Let's try this again," Draxum said unfazed by his minions being completely thrashed. "Attila, show them your power!"
Attila nodded knowing what it meant if he held back this time. He let his power begin to flow the chains began to shine in a red light as the razor ball at the end burst into a dull red flame with cherry red tips. Instantly the turtles' eye lit up as they giggled in awe. "Whoa it's a magic weapon!" Raph cheered.
"That is so cool! I want one of those." the Blue one added.
"fascinating!" The Purple one muttered.
"No it's scary! You're supposed to be on guard and scared!" Attila shouted in frustration. "Stop, being impressed!" he shouted stomping his foot slacking his chain for a second.
"Attila," Draxum growled in a warning tone.
"Ooh! Maybe my weapon is magic!" Raph declared as he began spinning the Tonga's in his hands over and over hyping himself up constantly. "Magic weapon, magic weapon, magic weapon" he shouted over and over again as Attila noted the red feedback he had no control and was over charging it with emotion, Then cheered loudly when they started sparking.
"Stop! You're gonna-"Attila began only for the large turtle to get blown back and crash hard into the wall, "that…" he muttered.
"Mine works," the red turtle muttered in a daze.
"Can't wait to see what mine does!" The blue one shouted rushing at them. Attila in response spun his Kurosai above him allowing a spiral of red fire to spin around him like a shield. The Blue turtle swung the Odachi powerfully but the only thing that came was a burst of blue mystic energy. Both he and Draxum made sounds of confusion, in response as Attila dissipated his shield. The Slider looked very nervous as the blade began to buzz over his head. He looked up at it as runes began to appear on the blade. A portal appeared beneath his feet. He screamed then another portal opened above him as it needed an exit but that meant.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, get, me, off, this, ride!" he shouted as he repeatedly came in and out of the portals Attila swung his weapon expertly and gently pulling him and the sword out. He leaned in close.
"Just feel where you want the portal to go, next time." Attila hissed low.
"Eh?" the Slider asked still dizzy from his ride.
"Attila!" Draxum shouted. "Don't give them advice! The only way these untrained buffoons will learn is through pain." He growled at his trainee. "Now fight him!" Attila immediately rushed at the slider and whipped his weapon around this time with fire dancing around.
"Oh no, not again!" the Slider shouted swinging his blade rapidly.
"Who needs magic weapons when you have impossibly futuristic high tech weaponry!" the purple one shouted suddenly appearing beside Draxum and swinging his weapon at him Draxum quickly had to use his weapon seeds to put up weapons to fight back as the Purple spun his weapon and jumped back as Draxum slashed. Another Rocket appeared at the end as he swung it and managed to his Draxum in the chin. He stumbled back a little as Attila landed a kick in the Blue turtle's chest.
"Attila, land the final blow," Draxum commanded.
"But he's-"Attila began only for Draxum to cut him off.
"NOW!" Draxum roared cowing Attila into charging with his weapon swinging fire roaring at its end.
"Leo!" He heard the purple one shout as he and the Red one rushed over not long after but 'Leo' swung his sword again this time he opened a Portal and Attila couldn't veer away fast enough.
He suddenly tumbled through it a flash of bright blue light which then opened up right on top of the core of the machine. He screamed and flailed as he crashed into it. He fell back into the ring. He groaned as he pulled himself up ignoring the pain in his front and swung out to one of the upper floors he heard a sickening bang. He turned eyes widening. The Lab was going to explode. Immediately he slammed his weapon into the window and rushed outside expertly he jumped down the side of the building till he could get to a higher cliff once he had climbed up and found a rock to duck for cover under. He then retracted into his shell. Draxum wasn't going to like any of this he had destroyed the lab he worked so hard to rebuild. As he braced himself he saw a burst of light. The Agent had teleported the other turtles and the human outside a good distance away from the mansion. The large one quickly drew in the rune that allowed them to leave the Hidden city but the Oozequitos had gone through as well. The intense swarm of purple and bright lime green was soon followed by an intense burst of pink and white flames surged out and engulfed the area. It was a good thing Klunk wasn't here. They both would've been killed trying to escape together. When he felt it was safe he came out and peeked out of his shell. He saw the lab in ruins a large pile of rubble with small bits of red and orange fire alight in various areas.
"Draxum….He could be…" Attila muttered he thought for a moment, maybe he didn't want to know. Finding Klunk was the only thing on his mind, right there and then. He stood up and pulled his mask down and rushed beginning his search to find Klunk.
X X X
As he searched he turned up nothing in the rest of the devils backbone there was nothing by the train station or the Minotaur maze. Near that however was the Battle Nexus: A foreboding looking arena with many spikes around it and various small stands and stores lining the way into the large arena that vaguely resembled a skull that glared out at the small turtle as he meekly looked back. "I have to find Klunk, even if it means I go here." He told himself. Draxum had told him how the place was run by a Conniving Spider Yokai only known as Big Mama, who was always looking for warriors and was a notorious crime boss, and that if he were to enter there he'd never be able to get back out.
"I just have to avoid being seen that's all." Attila said pulling his mask back on as he snuck below the grounds he climbed over the wall then jumped down making sure he wasn't seen. As he snuck around he could smell various foods and see various strange objects here. Even some toys for kids. He couldn't imagine any kids wanting to come here, but then again that was just one of his flaws: His bleeding heart that prevented him from reaching his true potential, as the Ultimate Weapon against humanity.
Distracted he suddenly bumped into someone he looked up and gasped looking back at him eyeing him was a large white tiger in a suit glaring down at him a low growl coming from his throat. Attila tried to move ever so slowly the Tiger roared in response, Attila immediately swung his weapon at it activating its fire and slamming the Tiger in the side of the neck making it flinch as he took off running he could hear the Tiger fall to his knees behind him. But he didn't dare look back. He ducked and weaved through the Yokai who turned at him curiously. He didn't make eye contact. He started screaming Klunk's name desperately as he suddenly tripped and tumbled across the ground hitting his head.
"Ow, ow, ow," Attila whimpered sitting up. He pulled off the mask to rub his bruised forehead.
"Dear me you've taken quite the spilly willy," said a sweet voice like honey maybe a little too sweet. It had a strange accent maybe Canadian? "I must ask what is a 'Klunk,'" He opened his eyes to see a human with white hair a large bang over one of her eyes that had deep purple eye shadow and blue horned glasses thinner than the one the crazy human wore. She had a dark purple jacket with horned shoulders and a finned duster behind her and a green furred collar under the purple ruffled scarf. With matching thigh high boots under the purple dress she wore.
"What's a human doing here," Attila managed to sputter out. The human giggled.
"Human oh no, I am Big Mama the proud owner of the Battle Nexus," she replied.
Attila gasped in surprise. "Wait you're Big Mama?!" he asked pointing in shock. "But Draxum told me you were a huge, fierce, hideous, spider Yokai."
"Ohhh Draxum," she drawled in an annoyed tone. "So Spiteful, but I suppose it's not inaccurate." She muttered transforming into her true form. Her hair was now witchy and wild with streaks of white. Her body was a large spider body with breasts much larger than her previous hour glass form. She had four legs and four arms. Two large hair and powerful the other smaller and blue like her face that had six red eyes and a large gaping maw.
"Umm it's not that bad." Attila replied starring at it more intimidated than put off he decided. Big Mama used one of her smaller arms to pat his head.
"Well, aren't you sweet," she said changing back. "I prefer this form when dealing with the public, but my true form does have its uses."
"Well, maybe you can help me." Attila said pulling out the one picture he had left: It was a drawing of Klunk. "This is Klunk Draxum's Goyles took her away somewhere, and now I can't find her."
"Don't worry I'll help you find your Kitty Witty." She replied. "I'll have my staff set something up. In the mean time we should go to the PA room and make an announcement maybe someone in the crowd has seen her. If they have I can trade a nice reward for some information and send you in the right direction."
"That would be awesome thank you!" Attila cheered happily as he followed her and looked around at various Yokai watching vision orbs he could see other Yokai battling below but he kept up pace with Big Mama and forced himself not to be distracted.
"This is the Sporting lounge where one can take in the ferocious fights of the Battle Nexus!" Big Mama replied pointing to one.
"Sounds scary," Attila admitted.
"Oh heavens no!" Big Mama assured. "Unless you're put off by blood curdling battles where Warriors are ripped limb from limbity limb!" she said with a slightly sinister giggle.
"I need to remember not to ask any more questions." Attila muttered as they continued into the lounge and up the elevator until they reached what looked like some kind of booth with a control board of some kind. It was then the guard a large Polar Bear Yokai that let them in grabbed Attila tightly pinning his arms to his sides and holding him in a way that he couldn't fight back.
"Hey! Big Mama, tell him to let me go!" he said struggling, but Big Mama didn't move she just smiled. Attila felt his stomach drop.
"Why would I do that when I just got my new champion." She asked darkly.
"Wh….What?!" Attila asked voice cracking.
"I've heard about your scrumptulish potential and amazing power. I've been looking for a way to get my hands on you. I only needed an opportunity." She replied. "And you just came knocking."
"But what about Klunk she's out there all alone!" Attila cried.
"Oh I wouldn't worry about her deary." Big Mama replied. "In fact you won't much except staying alive to worry about going forward." She replied as the Yokai grabbing Attila began to drag him out of the room he thrashed before he could attack however he was tossed into the large ring. He heard an intense roar of cheers. He looked up seeing an army's worth of Yokai cheering in in the stands some in a set of bleachers labeled splash zone leaning in.
"Ohhh boooy…" Attila muttered his head retracting into his shell a little.
Across from him was a Lizard like Yokai who roared and charged at him. He dodged out of the way as it swung a sword Attila watched his movements carefully, having to use his Capoeira he didn't have a choice now. He twisted around as the sword came down Attila cartwheeled to the side and pulled out his Kurosai he swung it and brought down on the blade breaking it instantly. The Lizard roared and rushed at him. Attila ducked and weaved and blocked blows with his arms.
Then he kicked the Lizard in the side of the face causing it to fall down to the ground. It Hissed grabbing the largest bit of the blade and lunging on Attila using his weight to knock the poor Turtle over he landed on his back hard but managed to stop the lizard from stabbing the shard in his throat.
Attila growled managing to get his foot up and kick him hard off of him as he jumped up grabbed his Kurosai and landed several powerful blows before repeating the joint attack he had done on the larger turtle earlier.
Soon the lizard was down and on his side. Attila panted but there was suddenly a sob from his opponent. Attila looked at him. "Just….Just get it over with!"
"Do the Kill! Do the Kill! Do the Kill!" Shouted the crowd, Attila found his heart aching again as he looked into the Lizard's eyes which were tearing up. He didn't want to be here either. He was as scared as Attila was. It took him back to the first time Draxum had him fight something when he was five.
Attila had knocked down the monster with a burst of Fire it groaned falling to its side. Attila panted turning to Draxum smiling he had done it. His creator nodded, "now Attila finish it."
"But I already beat it up." Attila replied.
"No destroy it, land the killing blow." Draxum replied. Attila gasped and looked over at the creature too tired to run or fight back. The two had locked eyes for a minute as Attila felt fear and anxiety and hopelessness he began to tear up.
"I can't!" he sobbed. Draxum marched over he looked up Draxum who shot him a glare and grabbed his head forcing him to watch his claws digging into the side of his head. Attila whimpered as one of Draxum's tentacles went right into the beast's chest with a cry it slumped down as Attila gasped tears falling.
"There that's how it's done, remember that." Draxum growled.
"Do the Kill! Do the Kill! Do the Kill!" They kept shouting Attila shook his head grabbing the lizard and pulling him along.
"I need you to move!" he shouted rushing from one side of the ring to a door as the crowd and staff reacted flabbergasted. Two of the guards tried to keep them in but Attila knocked them down the gate was starting to drop Attila muttered an apology he threw the lizard as hard as he could out the door just before it shut the lizard mouthed a thank you before running off past various Yokai. The crowd started to boo and hiss at this. Attila glared at them something was bubbling inside of him then it popped.
"NO GORE FOR YOU! GET OVER IT!" Attila screamed at the top of his lungs that shut them up. But he suddenly heard a roar and a loud landing behind him he could only turn to see Big Mama use one of her larger arms to back hand him he felt himself spiraling in the air before slamming into the wall. A sharp pain in his back made him let out a choked scream before he hit the ground out cold.
X X X
There was a weird thunking sensation and sound in his back. He let out a whimper as he blinked his eyes in the tiny bit of light there was but all he could see was a large silhouette kneeling beside him. He felt something cool on his shell and after a few minutes of haze he began to pass out again only seeing a tail and pointed ears as he passed out.
