Sophia let them calm down but more before the next part came on. Donatello and O'Neil pulled away from each other with a light blush on their cheeks as Michelangelo snickered with Jones and Raphael.
New York shines as brightly as ever, with neon lights from the surrounding buildings casting a colorful glow over the city and its inhabitants. Despite the late night, people still filled the streets and shops were still open for their services. It really stayed true to the name "the city that never sleeps".
But so does crime.
"I seriously think baddies should take a hint when something bad really happens that it might just give them an idea to turn over a new leaf." Donald said sarcastically.
A group of mutants hopped from rooftop to rooftop, following a soft shell turtle's directions as he led them to a nearby Foot Clan activity.
"Oh great, those bozos again?" Leon groaned.
"Haven't they learned from the invasion?" April said in dismay but it didn't ease up the bad feeling in her guts.
"You'd think they would learn their lesson after the whole Kraangified situation," Leon said as he flipped onto the next building. He lands expertly on his feet. His movements were elegant and swift with a hint of showmanship flair.
He spots the other Leos following them, running beside his brothers and keeping pace with them. It's weird to be the only one who could see the two extra turtles following them, especially when they're faintly glowing blue.
"You two look so cool!" Miguel exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing the two other Leo following them but they couldn't see them except for Leon and the fact that they're running beside them makes them look like a bigger ninja team.
"Villains aren't exactly known for their brains 'Nardo," Donnie quipped, hovering in the air with his battle shell and giving his brother an unimpressed look.
"Yeah but still, shouldn't they learn already?" The slider grimaced.
"That we can all agree on." Nidas said.
Leon was still salty about the Foot Clan releasing the Kraang. The whole situation wouldn't have happened if those cultists hadn't been so blind. They were lucky they managed to turn back into humans.
"Wait, the Foot Clan released the Kraang in your universe?!" O'Neil exclaimed in surprise and disbelief.
"Um, yes, they did." Raph said.
"Why do you even ask?" Donald asked in confusion.
"Um... It's because, well, I'm part... Kraang?" O'Neil said hesitantly.
The Rise family looked at her in shock and slight fear. Raph positioned himself in front of the Rise family with Nidas pushing CJ behind him.
"You're part Kraang?! But how come you look completely normal?!" CJ exclaimed in shock and slight terror.
Michelangelo knew he had to intervene so he stood up and placed himself between them.
"Look, dudes, you guys freak out over April being part Kraang but it's not her fault. The Kraang in our dimension messed with her family's DNA. Sure she might have a part of the aliens that we beat but she's good and fights with us. She even has psychic powers!" Michelangelo said as O'Neil demonstrated her powers by lifting a cup in the air.
"Yeah, I may be part Kraang but I'm more like a mutant to be honest." O'Neil said as the Rise family calmed down slightly as Donald put his goggles on and scanned her.
"Hmm, you do have slight Kraang DNA in your molecules but they're only a small part while you're completely human. Making you some sort of human/Kraang hybrid." Donald observed.
"So... We don't have to worry about her trying to kill us?" Leon asked a bit worriedly.
"Well, she did kinda kill Donnie one time but it wasn't her doing. It was a piece of a shard of the Aeon crystal that was making her do crazy stuff but she saved him." Raphael said.
"Do you... feel okay?" Raph asked in curiosity and slight worry.
"Well, it was scary at first when I first found out but I soon grew the hang of it." O'Niel said as the Rise family calmed down somewhat but were still wary of O'Neil as the movie resumed.
While Leon sympathizes with their unfortunate situation- he had seen what the Kraang did to Raph- he thinks they deserved it.
(AN: I'm gonna have them all react to the rottmnt movie once the transcript is done and after this one)
"They're the ones who started all of this in the first place." Leon muttered bitterly.
The whole thing wouldn't have happened if they hadn't been crazy and tried to unleash a being that was way out of their league.
Hey, Donnie isn't the only one with a sadistic side to him.
The Hamato Team looked at Donald who was watching the movie but they noticed him glancing towards them mainly at O'Neil with a very... interesting glint in his eye which slightly scared them before focusing back to the movie.
Speaking of him, the soft shell stops at a rooftop facing a hospital. Specifically, a section of the parking lot that's filled with rows and rows of white tents.
"What's that?" Miguel asked curiously.
"What's that?" Mikey asked as he landed next to Leon.
Leon and Leonardo snickered as Nidas chuckled as Miguel just gaped at his on screen self in surprise.
"It's a quarantine area for all the people who were infected by the Kraang," Donnie informed them. Raph stood behind his brothers, gazing down at the row of tents.
"In... Infected?!" O'Neil asked in shock and disbelief.
She glanced at the Rise family and saw them shifting uncomfortably with Leon leaning against Raph. She only noticed now the mark on Raph's right eye and couldn't help but wonder what happened to him. She knows she can just read his memories but... It's probably not a good idea to pry on it.
The two translucent turtles stood next to Leon, looking over his shoulders. It's an amusing sight to see. Especially since one is tall and one is short. The size difference between the two is funny to him.
That made some in the theater giggle and laugh softly cause it's true.
"Oh man, imagined if Donnie suddenly saw them." Miguel laughed.
The sudden imagination sent everyone burst out laughing with Donald flushing in embarrassment.
Donnie gave him a strange look when he chuckled. Used to his brother's antics, he continued. "All the people who were infected were taken here until they were given the antidote."
"But why would the Foot Clan come back here?" Raph wondered aloud. He shuddered at his memory of the Kraang.
Leon put a hand on Raph's arm while Nidas put a protective arm around Casey.
"Don't know. Maybe they want to hang out with their trauma buddies?" Leon joked. He grins when his brothers groan.
"Really, Leon?" Miguel groaned.
"Not funny Leo," Raph said.
"Well, why else would they come back?" Leon shot back.
"There might a reason right? There's always a reason." Donatello said in concern.
For some reason, when their counterparts were mentioning the Kraang, it just made him a little worried. At the beginning of the movie, they only saw their version of the Kraang but... Just how terrifying are they?
'There has to be a reason,' Leonardo muttered next to Leon.
Leo frowned. 'The Foot Clan worshiped the Kraang. Even after being turned into those monsters, they might still hold some loyalty to them.'
The Rise family just groaned slightly. How can a clan be so stupid to still worship those monsters when they practically almost destroyed the whole world?!
Leon frowned. Yeah, that makes sense. But why would they come here? What would the Foot Clan want with Kraangified people?
His eyes widened slightly with a thought.
"Maybe they want to grab these people and turn them into their gods or something," He said aloud, his tone joking.
"It's how I cope, Raph-a-doodle. You should know that by now." Leon stuck his tongue out at him.
"Seriously?" Raph leveled him with a flat look.
Leon raises his hands with a grin. "Just saying. If the Foot Clan worship the Kraang and we have Kraangified people, what's to say they aren't trying to break them out and worship them?"
"Even if that's the case, that's a bad idea. The monsters have zero human thought without the Kraang to order them around. They're just mindless zombies at the moment." Donnie pointed out.
"Just like the brain worms?" Raphael asked in a quiet time and Leonardo put his arm around him protectively.
He won't let him remember that. Not now, not ever.
A loud commotion broke their argument and the turtles looked down just in time to see a familiar sight of foot ninjas destroying the tents. Hoards of pink monsters rushed out and caused havoc, all with the Foot Clan directing them to the exit.
"Oh come on! Can't they just learn when to give up?!" April complained.
"You're not the only one." CJ muttered in disdain.
"What's the plan, fearless leader?" Donnie asked, his tone slightly sarcastic.
Raphael and Donald send each other a look but it was out of pure amusement while Leon and Leonardo gave the two a look.
Leon frowned, his tone slightly worried. "Uh..."
The other Leos were quick to help him.
'Split into two groups, one to subdue the Foot Clan and the other to stop the Kraangified people from escaping and causing a ruckus,' Leonardo said.
'Who can handle a one-on-one fight and who can handle a mob?' Leo prompted.
"That's not a bad idea." Nidas said as Leon nodded.
"I couldn't agree more." Leonardo said with Leon smiling at the two older turtles.
An idea pops into his head. Leon grins and nods.
"Mikey, Donnie, you two stop the Kraang monsters from leaving. Raph, you're with me," He stood up and twirled his twin katanas. "Let's give them a beat down."
Raph smirked, knocking his fists together and covering his hands in a solid red aura. "Don't need to tell me twice."
"Alright! Time for some action!" Raphael cheered as he eagerly ate his popcorn.
"I thought the previous fight was entertaining, Raphael." Leonardo said but Raphael just shrug.
"It was okay but not enough action." He replied.
He lifted his fist in the air and cried out. "Let's go, Mad Dogz !"
" Cowabunga !" Mikey cheered, jumping down from the building. The other turtles quickly joined their youngest.
"Mad dogs?" The Hamato Team looked at them in confusion.
"It's our team name." Miguel said with a bright smile.
Behind them, Leonardo gave Leo a strange look. 'Mad dogs?'
Leo grins cheekily and shrugs.
Leonardo just rolled his eyes but shove Nidas playfully who chuckled.
They flickered away and appeared a few feet away from the fight.
Leon and Raph are engaged in a battle with the two main members of the Foot Clan.
"The turtles!" Foot Lieutenant hissed.
"Ugh, this guy again?" Leon groaned in annoyance.
"You know," Leon drawled, one katana hauled over his shoulder casually. "You'd think after the whole incident, you'd learn your lesson. But apparently, bad guys don't have brains. Kinda like your little Foot paper ninjas, right?"
Foot Brute looked away. "Well, we didn't mean to?"
"Well, at least one of them feels remorseful." Splinter grumbled but just ate his popcorn.
"Yeah, uh, if you're really sorry, you wouldn't be up to no good," Leon frowned at them.
Raph growled. "Now tell us what you're doing releasing all of the Kraangified people."
"Yeah what he said!" April and Jones shouted at the same time.
Foot Lieutenant grinned widely. "Our masters may be gone, but they left us their creations. With them, we can take over the world and remake it to our image!"
"Someone's loco, hermano." Leon said with a narrowed gaze.
Leon glared at them. Sparks danced across his arms as he pointed a katana at them.
Both Raph and Leon smiled knowingly towards each other as the Hamato Team looked intrigued by the sudden display of power.
"Not gonna happen, foot face."
"Yeah," Raph smirked as his mystic arms hummed with energy. "Ready, brother?"
"Born ready, Raph."
"ATTACK!" Foot Lieutenant yelled, prompting a hoard of foot ninjas to swarm the turtles.
Leon cut open a portal, jumping back into it to avoid the attack while Raph destroyed the ninjas with a roar. Paper confetti rained down on Raph after the ninjas exploded.
"Wait, they're only paper?" Raphael asked in shock and surprise.
"Origami but yeah. We've dealt with that the first time." Donald pointed out.
The snapper chuckled, his eyes flashing red for a moment. "Oh, this will be fun."
"That we can all agree on, Raph." Raphael said with a toothy grin.
Meanwhile, Donnie and Mikey rounded up the escaped Kraang monsters.
They had chased the monsters into a singular path, running down the pathway between two rows of tents.
The soft shell's eyes flashed purple. A purple aura engulfs his tech-bo, a rocket forming at the end of his weapon that he shoots. It stops at the end of the parking lot, between two tents. The rocket expands into a large purple net.
Donatello practically had stars in his eyes at the sight of the power. That's his counterpart's power?! It looks so awesome!
"Mikey!" He calls out.
"Don't need to tell me twice, Dee!"
Mikey flies into the air, his kusari-fundo glowing orange as well as his markings. He swings his weapon, the orange chain elongating into impossible lengths to wrap around a hoard of Kraang monsters.
"Holy chalupa! That's what my powers look like?!" Michelangelo exclaimed in shock while the Hamato Team looked so shock and surprise.
"That's right, baby!" Miguel said with a big smile and O'Neil couldn't help but coo silently at how cute he is.
Mikey lands on the ground, twisting his body to swing the large pile of monsters soaring through the air towards Donnie's net. "Incoming!!"
"Just how strong is he?" Raphael asked in shock and astonishment.
Damn, this version of Michelangelo is seriously Powerful!
"Well, I threw an entire cargo ship at our Shredder once. Then there was that throwing a whole top of a building at the Kraang." Miguel said casually as the Hamato Team's almost bulged out in shock and disbelief.
"You THREW WHAT?!" They shouted in shock and disbelief.
The Kraang monsters land into the net which encloses them. They growled and roared, wriggling in their mystic confinement and unable to escape.
The brothers stood in front of the pile, hands on their hips and surveying their success.
The Hamato Team just stared in disbelief and shock.
"Remind me not to get on his bad side." Raphael said. There is no way he's gonna admit it but he's a little terrified of the little guy.
"Awesome!" Mikey lifts his hand up to Donnie who responds to the high five with a mechanical clawed hand from his battle shell.
On the sidelines, Leonardo's jaw had dropped to the floor, eyes as wide as dinner plates.
Donald snickered and took a quick pick of their counterparts' reactions. This was too good not to use as blackmail.
He's aware that their dimensions are vastly different but he never expected this. Being around different versions of his brothers allowed him to know them, in a way. They're young, inexperienced, and sometimes childish. They clearly care for each other, but there was no indication of how they managed to defeat such a formidable enemy.
He's heard what a powerful enemy the Kraang were. So how did four young turtles stop them? He's seen them spar and they were very inexperienced like they had only been training for a couple of years. Even with Leon's sacrifice, there was a piece that didn't fit the puzzle in Leonardo's mind.
Well, now everything makes sense.
Leo observes him and chuckles. 'Amazed?'
Leonardo shakes out of his stupor. 'What- how- what- this-'
"Our reaction are precise. This is too much for me to handle." Donatello muttered in shock as he leaned back against his chair.
'I'm guessing you don't have mystic powers in your dimension.'
'No,' Leonardo shakes his head. 'Nothing of this scale. We have spirit energy but it's nothing like this. This is- this is unreal.'
Leo laughs quietly. 'What's the big issue? You've seen Leon's powers.'
'Yes, but I've never seen them fight before. This... this is on another level.'
'Ah, well I understand how it can be shocking.'
"Wonder how Leon and Raph are fairing?" Donald asked in curiosity.
Leonardo and Raphael looked at each other in shock and surprise. If both Donald and Miguel are that crazy powered and strong, how about Leon and Raph?!
"Woo-hoo!"
The two translucent turtles turned their attention to the fight.
Raph is standing strong against a hoard of foot ninjas, red clones appearing around him to fight against multiple enemies. Strength is his strong point and it becomes obvious when he easily handles multiple enemies on his own.
Meanwhile, Leon is handling himself very well, dodging attacks with a flourish and cutting down enemies with ease. He fights with a showmanship flair, not letting anything touch him and parrying blows with exaggerated style.
"Go Leon! Go Raph!" Miguel cheered his older brothers on as Leonardo and Raphael just watched in shock.
It didn't take long for both of them to cut down the hoard of foot ninjas and defeat the two members of the Foot Clan.
They left the bad guys tied up for the police to take over and booked it before anyone could spot them.
The Hamato Team are incredibly impressed and found respect for their counterparts.
"Aw yeah! We owned it!" Leon did a little dance, celebrating their victory.
"Surprisingly, it went well," Came Donnie's normal drawl.
Mikey bounced around with a bright smile. "We totally rule!"
Leonardo just smiled fondly at them celebrating as Nidas smiled softly as CJ was staring in shock on what just happened.
Dang, forget about being powerful! They're so powerful!
Leon turns to his older brother expectantly. Raph notices his look and smiles at him.
"You did great, little brother," He praised. "I'm proud of you."
"I really am, Leon. I really am." Raph said as Leon smiled and hugged him.
Stars sparkled in Leon's eyes as he bounced around with Mikey. "Aw yeah! Who's the leader? I'm the leader! Neon Leon is awesome, as usual. Save the praises for later. I'm amazing. I'm aware."
The brothers celebrated together, having an impromptu dance party on the rooftop.
This got a few laughs from everyone.
A few feet away, the two alternates watched him fondly.
'Shouldn't we stop the cockiness?' Leonardo suggested, remembering his own experience with the high of confidence turned arrogance. 'It could get them in trouble.'
"Sounds about right, fearless. Let them have fun." Raphael said as Leonardo just gave him a look.
Leon looked between Leonardo and Raphael to see them giving each other a look and was curious what it was about.
'Let them celebrate for now.' Leo said. It's nice to see his brothers having fun. They'll talk to Leon about the dangers of arrogance later. Right now, there's nothing wrong with celebrating a successful mission.
Leon frown a little. Can't those two lighten up for even just a bit?
It continues like that.
For days, Leon would lead the missions with the help of his alternates. While he is getting help, that isn't to say he isn't learning anything. He did learn his lesson about not listening to others, so he took their advice about being careful to heart.
'Good thing too.' Leon thought sadly.
Even a fight against the easiest enemies could turn dangerous if they aren't careful. The altercation with the key is a good example of that. There might be more to a seemingly innocuous crime.
They get home feeling more excited with each success.
But that doesn't last for very long.
"Why do I get a bad feeling all of a sudden?" O'Neil asked in concern.
"You're not the only one." Nidas muttered.
It was just a simple mission. Donnie had gotten a warning about a group of mutants causing a ruckus downtown and they hauled their butts to the scene.
The group consists of a badger, a fox, and a snake mutant. They were enraged.
"Looks like someone is hissing mad," Leon commented with a chuckle.
"Really, Leon? Enough with the puns." Raph groaned while covering his eyes.
"Just as I said. It's how I cope." Leon said with a grin.
Leonardo glanced at them but kept his eyes in the screen. He can't help but feel worried and concern for some reason. He glanced at Nidas who also had the same worries and concerns as he and O'Neil has.
The group roared at him, unamused at his comment.
"Leo," Raph scolded.
Leon waved his hand. "Wait, wait. I got a good one. They were vixen. Had a bad-ger time."
Jones and CJ laughed a little at that.
"Oh man, that was a good one." Jones snickered.
The snake mutant hissed furiously. "You bastard-!"
"Language!" Raph shouted to the snake mutant.
"Whoa!" Leon jumped away from the spittle of venom. "No need to be so spitting mad! Did I get under your scales? I think I'm hiss-terical."
Leonardo snorted but quickly covered it up with a cough but Leon saw that and grinned. He caught that and he'll make sure to make him laugh. Nidas just rolled his eyes in amusement.
The brothers collectively groaned at the puns. Leon did hear a chuckle and glanced over at Leonardo trying to muffle his laughter.
Leon smirked. At least someone appreciated his jokes.
"UGH! You turtles will get it now!" The badger roared, rushing towards Leon with raised claws.
"Get him, Leon!" April shouted.
Leon easily danced around his slashes. "Oh, the dog is mad~"
"Badgers aren't dogs," Donnie quipped from the skies, activating his tech-bo into a rocket to give a boost as he slammed into the fox. He lands on the ground, unconcerned by the fox he sent flying into a hot dog stand.
"Nice shot, Purple!" Splinter cheered his sons on.
He continues while leaning onto his staff. "They're from the family Mustelidae- which also includes the otters, wolverines, martens, minks, polecats, weasels, and ferrets-"
"Not now, Donald." O'Neil said with a fond smile.
"Donnie!" Raph punched the snake away from his brother before it pounced at him. "Focus!"
"Right, right," Donnie shakes his head. His eyes flashed purple and he actively engaged in the fight.
Mikey joined in to support his brothers with an excited cheer.
Practically by now everyone was cheering the brothers on. Michelangelo, Donatello, Raphael, Jones, April, O'Neil, Leon, Raph, Mikey, Donald with CJ and Splinter were cheering them on.
However, Leonardo and Nidas looked deeply worried and concern for some unknown reason. Something was wrong and they could just feel it.
Meanwhile, Leon uses his katanas to block the claws from the badger mutant.
"Now who's a bad boy~?" He taunted, swinging his body to the side to avoid another slice from dangerous claws.
"AUGH! You are infuriating!" The badger screamed, attacking Leon with a fury.
"Get him, Leon!" Raph cheered him on.
"Not my fault I'm so charming," Leon grinned, stepping back from a downward slice. The claws made a deep gouge in the cement ground.
Despite the possible danger, the slider was unconcerned.
"Whoop! Missed there, buddy!" Leon twirls, his leg kicking out to hit the badger in the stomach, sending him flying backward.
The badger growled, quickly jumping back to his feet and lunging at Leon.
"Kick his butt, Leo!" Miguel cheered.
A few feet away, Leonardo watches the fight with worry. Sure, the turtles are handling themselves well but things could go bad very easily.
He jumped when a heavy hand landed on his shoulder. He looks up at Leo.
'Don't worry, they can handle it.' Leo assures, already knowing what is going on in Leonardo's head.
Leonardo stares for a moment before he takes a deep breath and exhales. 'Yeah, I know. They're very capable. But- I can't help but be worried. You know? They're still so-'
'Young?' Leo interjected knowingly.
Leonardo slumped. 'Yeah...'
'They're doing well. Besides, we're keeping Leon level-headed, despite his cockiness. He'll make sure things don't go awry,' Leo assures.
"I hope you're right." Leonardo muttered worriedly as Nidas was concerned as well.
They had made sure to hammer into Leon's head that they can celebrate when the mission is over. During the fights, focus is needed. One wrong move could be dangerous, with unprecedented consequences.
So far, despite the still obvious showmanship from the slider, he has managed to keep his brothers' heads in the game. Raph, being the eldest, also helped in that regard.
Leo chuckles. 'We sound like old men.'
Leonardo grinned at him, eyes sparkling mischievously. 'What do you mean? You are an old man. I'm only twenty-two.'
"Wait, you're 22?" Nidas asked.
"Uh, yeah." Leonardo said with a sheepish smile.
(AN: Don't blame me. I thought they were only 19 XP. Cut me some slack)
'Okay then, smart ass,' Leo laughed and tugged Leonardo into a side hug, giving him a noogie with his other hand. Leonardo struggled against his hold for a moment before he broke free.
Leonardo rubs his head and smiles at him. Leo smiles back.
Leon snickered at the two and was about comment on it but stop when he saw the concern looks on their faces.
"Oh, you're getting faster, buddy," Leon taunted, opening a portal to jump to before he got sliced. The mutant growls, his head turning left and right to catch sight of the turtle.
Leon appears on top of the badger from a portal, falling on his back and sending him crashing to the ground. He jumps away before the badger could grab him, landing gracefully on his feet. "A bit too slow there."
The badger mutant growled, pushing himself up. "When I get my claws on you, I'll rip you apart!"
"Am I the only one sensing something bad is about to happen?" Donald asked instantly and the cheering instantly stopped as they looked at Donald.
Leon smirked, his body language lazy and casual. "I'd like to see you try and catch me. So far, you haven't even gotten close!"
"You're not the only one, Dee." Miguel said. He can't shake off the feeling of fear from his gut for some reason.
The badger growled. "Wipe that grin off your face!"
Leon's heart skipped a beat.
Leon's eyes widened as his heart almost stopped beating when those words were said as those were the same words IT said.
"WIPE THAT GRIN OFF YOUR FACE!!!"
Raph instantly pulled Leon into his arms protectively as Donald and Miguel huddled close to their big brother as their eyes widened in terror at hearing that voice.
April covered her mouth in fear and shock while Splinter looked paler than usual. CJ was shaking in terror as Nidas tried to control his breathing.
Leonardo, for some unknown reason, felt fear and terror in his whole body from hearing the voice. It was filled with so much hate, anger and resentment towards Leon.
Raphael put his arm around his brother as Michelangelo shivered in terror for some reason. Donatello counts to 10 to control his breathing and stop his body from shaking in fear all of a sudden.
Those words. Those words just made them all so scared with a cold chill down their spines for some reason and they didn't like it. It's like facing against Super Shredder for one last battle or when they lost Splinter.
Everything around him faded away.
The bright downtown turned into a gray wasteland with no gravity. Floating debris of what used to be Kraang army is now a desolate graveyard.
"What's going on?" Raph asked in worry and fear as Leon started to hyperventilate at the sight.
Sounds becomes muffled. There is nothing in the vast space of the prison. The only thing he could hear was his heartbeat and the feeling of cold terror.
"Raph, Leon's hyperventilating!" Donald shouted.
Raph looked at Leon in worry and fear to see him hyperventilating and having a hard time breathing as sparks danced around his arms.
"Leo. Leon, calm down! It's okay. You're okay. You're safe." Raph soothed him as Leon whined in fear and pain.
His breathing hitched. Everything feels numb and cold. So cold. He can't feel his feet. He can't feel his hands.
He can't- he can't feel anything.
He lifts his eyes up and sees claws reaching toward him.
Claws.
Miguel's eyes stung with tears of terror in his eyes at the sight.
Metal claws reached out toward him.
Donald shivered in terror as his eyes widened in fear.
A sinister glare radiating pure malice.
Raph pulled his younger brothers in a protective hug but his eyes just widened in fear and terror.
Nidas was hyperventilating as CJ was shaking in terror.
An enraged yell.
"WIPE THAT GRIN OFF YOUR FACE!"
Leon covered his ears as he let out a loud cry of fear and terror as the sparks became prominent and zapped both Nidas and Leonardo who gasped in shock and surprise but they suddenly saw what Leon is seeing when he was in the prison dimension. It was a memory.
Flashback starts;
"You've been portal chopped." Leon said as he let go of the monster as he floated away.
The ship crashed right into the dark dimension. Leon crashes onto the remains of the destroyed world as his shell hit the debris as the leader catches his breath and watches the light fade in shock and disbelief. This wasn't possible! How can inferior creatures defeat them so easily! Krang angrily turned to the motionless mutant slumped down, his head bowed and his eyes closed as his yellow eyes had a wild and crazed angered look in them promising pain and torture.
"You... You ruined everything!" He shouted in anger as he started to approach Leon.
"And now, my wrath will be reversed for you alone." He said with a cruel grin.
Enraged, he clenched his fists and started savagely beating Leon up. Blood spilled everywhere.
"You think you've won, YOU WRETCHED, LITTLE PEST!" He yelled in rage as he continued to beat Leon to cause him pain and fear.
He pinned Leon down until the ground underneath them crumbled and into the building, Leon is still not moving and not saying a word or even a pun. Beaten, bloodied, and almost close to death, Leon weakly looked towards his side as lifted his hand to reveal the crumpled photo. Seeing the photo of his family, smiling happily made the young mutant cry, thinking of those happy memories of his brothers and his family. He let out a silent whimpering gulp and a tear dropped down as he smiled weakly at peace with himself and knowing that his family is safe from the monster.
"WIPE THAT GRIN OFF YOUR FACE!"
With an enraged roar/screech, he sends Leon flying with an explosive attack, causing the entire thing to explode. Drifting alone in the dimension, he cried in fear and sadness as he held the photo to his chest as streaks of tears leaked, all alone in the darkness.
Flashback ends;
"NO!"
Blue sparks arched across his body, his eyes and markings glowing with mystic energy fueled by sheer panic. Arms cut through the air in a familiar arc, tearing open a blue portal with a singular destination.
Raph, Donald, Miguel, Splinter, CJ and April watched in shock on what was happening as Leon cried and whimpered in fear while in Raph's arms as Nidas and Leonardo gasped in shock by what just happened as they snapped out of the memory as they breathe heavily and erratically.
Donatello, Raphael, Michelangelo, O'Neil and Jones watched in shock and disbelief.
Away. Far away from him. Get him away. Get rid of him. Make him go AWAY!
The Kraang slipped into the portal and it disappeared.
For a moment, Leon could only breathe. His heart thuds loudly inside his chest, sounding so loud in his ears. His body is still so cold. Terror gripped his body in its icy grip, so tight he wondered if he could feel warm again.
There are muffled voices in his ears.
'Leon!'
'Kid! Leon, can you hear me?!'
'What's happening to him? Why isn't he responding?'
'A flashback. We have to snap him out of it. Where did he send the badger?'
Translucent turtles filled his vision. He doesn't understand. Who are they? What are they doing in this void?
"What's happening?" Miguel whimpered in fear and shock as Donald didn't know but he just glanced at the three blue masked turtles in concern and worry.
Cold, numb, and weightless. The prison dimension is no place for any turtle, himself or otherwise.
The unknown turtles flickered away, replaced with a familiar worried face.
"Leo!"
Leon gasped, his head clearing up enough to think. His breaths came out ragged and quick.
Raph's face came into view. His expression is pinched with worry and alarm.
"Leo! What happened?! Where did you send the badger?!"
"B-Badger?" Leon gasped as tears stung his eyes.
"Wha- uh- badger?" Leon doesn't understand.
"Above us!" Donnie yelled.
Everyone looked up at the sky, seeing a shape falling towards them. A body that is quickly careening towards the ground with nothing to stop its descent.
Leon watched in shock and terror by what happened. Oh gods...
"Oh shell-!" Raph ran, his body glowing bright red before a large clone surrounds him. He jumps up, arms reaching out just in time to catch the falling mutant.
He lands back on the ground with a harsh thud. The clone fades away as he lowers the shaken mutant.
Leon whimpered and started to shake more uncontrollably.
The fox and snake ran towards their friend.
"Adrien!" They yelled.
"Are you okay?" The fox asks.
The badger, Adrien, curled into himself while shaking terribly. His eyes were wide with terror and shock.
The fight is over. The mutants were more concerned about their friend than attacking the turtles or causing trouble. The turtles themselves are confused and watching the scene uncertainty.
"What happened?" Mikey asked, looking at the terrified mutant before turning to his brother.
Leon stared at the scene with wide eyes. The severity of the situation hit him like a freight train. It left him light-headed and heavy-hearted at the same time.
He did that.
He had opened a portal that sent the mutant away.
If Raph hadn't caught him-
If nobody had noticed-
He nearly-
He would have-
Leon started to cry from what happened and realized it.
"Oh gods... Oh Pizza Supreme..." Leon covered his face with his hands as the tears started to fall.
"-eo! Leo! Can you hear me?"
Leon's eyes flicked over to his twin's face. Seeing Donnie's face pinched with worry made him shake.
He almost killed someone.
This isn't like the worm he accidentally cut in half. This is real. This is different.
He almost killed someone.
"Leo, calm down. It's not your fault. You didn't. You just panicked." Raph soothed his little brother who looked so scared.
A hand reached towards him and in his panic, he knocked it away.
Donnie stepped back, eyes wide with shock.
"Nardo?" He calls out.
Leon sucks in a sharp breath, his eyes going wide.
This hurt Donald more. The sight of his twin so scared and helpless. Donald looked at Leon in Raph's arms and felt tears in his eyes.
Panic gripped him in a tight hold and he turned to run. He ignores his brothers' cries of his name. He just wants to run. Run from them. From what he did.
He doesn't care where he's going. He doesn't care where he ends up. He just wants to get away!
Blue sparks of electricity covered his body. It arced and spread like an electrical storm, surrounding him in a bright glow as mystic energy buzzed in the air. He glows bright blue, his form shifting like one of his swords while portalling away.
Donald, Raph and Miguel looked in shock and surprise. How did he do that?!
One moment he was there. The next, he was gone, taking two translucent turtles with him.
Across the city, a blue form appears out of nowhere. Leon trips on his feet and lands roughly on the ground. Vertigo and pain slammed into him all at once.
He falls on all fours, coughing and gagging as he fights against a wave of nausea. His head pounds with pain and his vision swims. His perception of the world tilts and turns like a rocking boat. This feeling is like missing a step while walking down the stairs mixed with a spinning carnival ride while having a concussion. He tries to take deep breaths and shut his eyes to stop the feeling. That doesn't help and he expels whatever he ate earlier.
Raph held Leon close as the slider just continued to cry helplessly.
Turning away from the mess, Leon tries to catch his breath. Air refuses to fill his lungs. His mind is blank yet filled with a rush of thoughts.
Is he dying?
Splinter felt his body going cold at that. No. Not his baby blue!
He can't breathe. His body is cold. His lungs are burning. His head feels light.
Is this what dying feels like?
Everyone couldn't do anything. Not even speak to comprehend what was happening as they just watched in helplessness and shock.
No, a logical part of his brain cuts through the chaos. He's having a panic attack.
This feels horrible.
He can't think. His head feels so light it feels like he could pass out. He's gasping but no air would fill his lungs. His lungs are burning from the lack of air.
His throat hurts. Was he screaming? He can't hear anything. It's a mess of muffled sounds and loud ringing.
He can't lift his head. Is there anyone around? He can't check. His head feels light and heavy at the same time.
He can't breathe!
A translucent form appears in his vision and he shakily lifts his head. He sees green, someone talking to him. He can't hear them. He can barely see them. Does he know them? It's not Raph. Raph is big but this one doesn't feel like Raph.
He wants Raph. He wants his brother.
Leon whimpered for comfort and Raph instantly held him for comfort. Miguel and Donald watched helplessly.
No. Raph would be ashamed of him.
He nearly killed someone.
That's right. That's why he's here. He almost killed someone in his panic.
Did he have a flashback? He saw the Kraang for a moment. He thought he was sending the Kraang away.
He nearly killed someone.
"Nardo, that's not true. You didn't. You just opened a portal out of defense." Donald said as he rubbed Leon's shell gently.
Why is he here?
His powers went out of control.
He looks down again, still gasping for breath.
Blue electricity danced up and down his arms. The same blue that sent the mutant away. The same blue that sends him away.
He made a mistake.
He nearly killed someone.
"Leo, you didn't. You just acted out of defense." Raph said worriedly.
His mystic powers are going out of control.
'What's wrong with me?' He thought amongst his panic. 'What is happening to my powers?'
No answer came. It's just him, alone, having a panic attack somewhere unknown.
Well, not completely alone.
Two translucent turtles tried futilely to help him. Even with their connection, they couldn't get Leon to hear them or see them. Trying to touch him proved fruitless as their hand passed through his body.
There was nothing they could do to help.
They glanced at each other, feeling helpless as the young slider struggled to breathe.
Leon continues to hyperventilate and whimper but the memory is still there.
"WIPE THAT GRIN OFF YOUR FACE!!!"
With a fearful cry, Leon frantically scrambled away from the safety of his older brother's arms much to everyone's shock and surprise and he ran out of the room.
"Leo, wait!" Miguel shouted.
Nidas and Leonardo quickly recovered and ran after the young slider as everyone just watched helplessly.
