I own nothing except the stuff I made up!
Fracture
Attila was exciting to watch a Lou Jitsu movie. Draxum had talked about how cheap and cheesy they were, a lot. He wondered why since he hated Lou Jitsu for destroying his lab when he was born. He had been totally sucked in. He was excited to start watching the climax of the film.
He watched as Lou Jitsu ran the road circling the alley way in San Francisco a place similar to New York but had a Huge Red Bridge rather than the big green woman statue that sat in the water that New York had. Suddenly however the Bad guys surrounded him. All wearing their purple Oni masks.
"Ha, ha, ha Lou Jitsu you are finished! For we are fifty and you are just one!" The Ring Leader declared menacingly.
"Ah, that's what you think! For Master Green Burg before he was eaten by a horse taught me….THE FIFTY MAN PUNCH!" They gasped as the Hero went in for the attack. "HOOOT SOOOUUU-"the Movie got paused by Splinter.
"Oooh, Oooh a fun trivia fact about this scene!" He began with a wide grin as Attila groaned.
"Splinter can't we just get a Trivia dump after?! He's about to throw the fifty man punch!"
"Punch, Punch, Punch!" His brothers and Klunk chanted behind them.
"I just thought you'd like some inside info about your Movie hero….me." he said sounding a lot like Leo and truth be told this was the fifth inside Tidbit they got. Attila just gave him a half-lidded look as Klunk from on his head and his brothers who all looked at each other before they began to chant again.
"PUNCH, PUNCH, PUNCH, PUNCH!" They shouted.
Splinter ignored them. "Whoever said never met your hero, never met me! Am I right boys? I can remember all the names of the stuntmen I worked with! Ryker, Wilder the Brian twins, Kris with a K, Chris with a Ch, Benny, Josh, Brandon, Omar, Chad-"
"Is it just me or was Lou Jitsu a lot cooler before he was our dad?" Leo said putting a hand to his mouth to Raph the response was a Remote to the face. He got knocked over as Attila rushed over to his side.
Donnie suddenly gasped as Leo sat up unharmed. "Good Galileo the Original Jupiter Jim is going to be at Galaxicon!" he said.
"Really?" Attila asked somewhat excited as they didn't get a chance to meet him at Fancon.
"Marcus Moncrief?!" Leo gasped. "He's my all-time favorite actor slash role model slash father figure!" Leo said replacing The Dunk and maybe Splinter as well?
"I am standing right here!" Splinter snapped insulted. "And really Marcus Moncrief really that guy couldn't hold my Lobster Bib!" he added angrily.
"Hey we should get him to sign our Special Edition Jupiter Jim one thousand!" Raph suggested.
"To the Vault!" Donnie declared.
"What makes it special?" Attila asked.
"It teaches you one of Jupiter Jim's secret techniques!" Leo said bringing him in close as they headed to Donnie's vault.
"Cool!" Attila cooed as Splinter was left ignored, he crossed his arms with a huff.
"Kris with a K would never treat me like that…." He muttered.
X X X
Donnie began executing the release protocol for his Vault. Hand Scan, eye recognition then he typed in a password.
"Begin Voice match ID." A Robotic voice that sounded like a robotic version of Donnie, but then Klunk sneezed. "Voice not recognized!" The System then proceeded to trap her and Attila in a glass dome as Donnie prepped himself after the slight annoyance.
"Bootyyyshaker9000 Ehhherrm," Donnie replied.
"Access Granted." The Voice replied as the red light turned green they all gasped in awe. Inside past a shelf where they had kept the three pieces of Mystic Metal they found and Sunita's freaky boots made of the stuff in a glass dome of its own as a comic book with Jupiter Jim flying up somewhere on the cover the number one thousand in gold letters.
And once Donnie had gotten him and Klunk out they headed to Galaxicon. This time Klunk had disguised herself as a blue space ranger helmet that Attila wore on his head. They were dressed in the same costumes they had at Fancon. This time however Donnie came along with his goggles down and a pair of googly antennae.
"Now, if the masses puncture the Mylar save the comic, leave me behind. But build statues to my sacrifice!" Donnie instructed as Leo stopped suddenly.
"Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys, guys!" Leo said excitedly holding Donnie's face to make him look in the direction his eyes bugged out towards. "It's hiiiiimmm," he muttered starry-eyed as in another room across from them was the man he remembered from Fancon: Dark brown skin, greying black silverish white gradient hair with a small greying black mustache, brown eyes and well-built with the hair on his body white. He was wearing a gold ring and necklace with a white tropical shirt with purple leaf patterns. Above him was a large poster with a much younger version of him in a jean vest with ripped sleeves with silhouettes of turtle like monsters around him with sinister faces one with red markings like Leo's. Attila noticed the place was very empty, he wondered why. Moncrief looked bored surrounded by posters tapping his finger on the desk he was at until Raph spoke.
"Uhh, Mr. Moncrief sir?" Moncrief looked up at Raph before smiling.
"Oh ho, ho!" he laughed. "Looks like I'm being invaded." He said playfully with a grin. Attila smiled feeling a bit safer. He jumped up to the table taking a stance Attila had seen him do in movies. "Last warning Alien scum; Get off this planet!" he growled revealing white jeans.
"He's doing the movie!" Leo said excitedly as his brothers got starry-eyed as well even Klunk whose eyes were showing on the Helmet. "Prepare to be blasted human!" Leo declared in a sinister tone making his finger into the shape of a gun.
"Jupiter Jim's prime directive is to maintain interplanetary peace! And if you pose a threat to that than I say…..JUPITER JIM AHHOOOOOYYYY!" he declared making a finger gun of his own as they all began to shoot pretend lasers at each other. The four turtles all fell one after another until Attila playfully faked being shot and fell on his back with a large smile.
"Jupiter Jim got me!" he declared with a rasp before giggling.
Leo went up to him hands nervously clamped together. "Excuse me, Mr. Jampeter Jupe, haha I mean Jampiter June AH! I mean fans we is!" he blathered.
"What my brother's trying to say is we're your biggest fans Mr. Moncrief." Raph said covering for his second youngest brother.
Attila moved in closer grinning. "Can you sign our super special Jupiter Jim One thousand with one of your techniques in it!?" he asked innocently.
Donnie popped up beside them. "We are so happy to meet you ahhh!" he muttered happily.
"But not 'happy to eat you' as they said in Jupiter Jim: Shark People of Planet Shark!" Leo recited happily.
"Impressive," Moncrief said rubbing his chin before crossing his arms. "Say how'd you Reptilians like to see the Harpoon Ray I dispatched those shark people with hmm?" He asked with a smirk. "I have it at my Headquarters."
"Uhh you mean come to your house?" Raph asked suspiciously as Leo gasped.
"Like right now?!" Attila yelped nervously. Leo pulled them in closer.
"Raph, Attila when the single greatest actor in the history of low-budget Sci-Fi; invites you to his headquarters, YOU. SAY. YES!" he finished incredibly firmly tapping his finger against Raph's plastron under his costume, before pushing his brothers out of his way. "YESSSSS!" he said practically drooling.
"Okay then shall we?" Moncrief asked before going for a fist pump. "Jupiter Jim….."
"AHOOOOOYY!" he and the turtles cheered together.
As they followed him outside and soon got a Taxi: Raph took up the whole backseat while Attila, Donnie and Leo sat on his lap sharing all the seat belts. Moncrief was up front with the taxi driver. The Taxi soon stopped.
"Can somebody cover me? I'm all out of Earth Dollars." Moncrief said glancing back at them. Donnie was more than happy to cover him. When they got out Attila saw a large apartment building covered in graffiti looking a bit creepy and run down. It wasn't anything like he expected. He thought Moncrief would've owned a large house like the ones Splinter talked about in one of his Trivia statements earlier today. They had followed him inside and up the stairs to the door looking grimy with the number nine in five, Oh nine being slightly lower as Moncrief unlocked the door.
"Welcome to my humble abode," Moncrief welcomed opening the door and to Attila's excitement and wonder inside was completely different like he stepped into one of the movies.
"THE S.S. Star bolt!" his brothers cheered as they rushed inside. Attila saw a red helmet with a yellow strip and wings and gazed at it in awe.
"Wear it!" Klunk said getting off his head as he tried it on.
"How's it look?" He whispered as Attila changed her collars to match that of the costume's armor.
"Awesome!" she said hanging on to the shoulder pad as everyone looked around and gazed in awe. Raph was looking in awe at one of the rooms, as Attila and Klunk continued to look around as Donnie was getting a closer look at all the computer dashboards in the room.
"This place is so mint I wish I could wrap it in a Mylar!" he said in awe as Attila noted Leo looking out a window that showed an intensely starry sky, two planets one small like the moon and one large off in the horizon against the blue rocks and sand that stretched out. He had wanted to draw something like that for a while and felt the urge to do it.
"Oh, it's beautiful!" Leo said in awe. "The coolest thing Splinter ever showed us was the sacrificial necklace and Lou Jitsu's old Chest wigs." He said subconsciously scratching his plastron a little.
"Itchy," Klunk muttered.
"You said it Gatito." Leo huffed.
"WHOA THE CAPTAIN'S CHAIR!" Donnie gasped pointing towards a large plush chair in the center of the room that reminded him of Raph's seat in the Turtle Tank except Blue and silver and didn't have the details for his Lumbar settings as Donnie called them. It turned and revealed Moncrief in his Jupiter Jim costume: Black and White armor with the symbol of Jupiter a red and orange planet on his chest.
"Welcome aboard the S. S. Star bolt!"
"Wait a minute? Did he just change into a Jupiter Jim costume?" Raph asked surprised as Donnie tightly hugged Attila and Klunk practically nuzzling them as he hissed in fan.
"He's giving us the Ultimate Fan Experience." Leo assured. "And this Ultimate fan is loving every second of it!" Leo said stars practically in his eyes.
"You are amazing Mr. Moncrief!" Donnie said finally letting Attila and Klunk go.
"Call me Jupiter Jim," he replied in a friendly tone. "Now!" he said a button rising up, how about that Harpoon ray?"
He pressed an orange button and instantly one of the doors opened revealing many of the weapons from the series. "WOW! These are really realistic!" Attila said in awe thinking that was where a lot of his money went.
"It's Beautiful, Solar Sabers, Stidgian Thumb cuffs. Deltaroid Torture Sticks Oh-ho-ho!" Donnie breathed in sheer awe. "Gentlemen if you need me I will be living inside this cabinet." He said about to dive in when Raph caught him he thrashed trying to get to the inside as Jupiter Jim pulled out the Harpoon Ray. A Long blue sphere with two rings near the gold pointed top, the bottom was shaped like a shot gun, while various bits channeled the energy.
"Now who wants a go?" JJ Asked.
"Me! Me, me, me, me, me me!" Leo said taking it while saying me and aiming it. However the second he pulled the trigger it shot right past Attila's head making him yelp as Klunk fell to the floor, and quickly changed color to hide.
"Uhh Mr. Jim wasn't that laser a little real?" Raph asked nervously.
"Uhhhh…" Attila said staring in horror. That was very much real he slowly got to his feet forgetting about Klunk as he gulped.
"Atti?" she whispered but it was like he didn't hear him.
"Sorry, I'm not worthy to handle your surprisingly real space laser…" Leo said as Jupiter Jim snatched it aggressively out of his hand.
"I'll say!" he angrily snapped. "I should never have given it too-a bleeding heart like you!" Jupiter Jim's voice immediately turned into that of Draxum's Attila gasped he felt his heart race it was becoming harder to breathe he started to hyper ventilate he looked around Draxum was there staring at him eyes narrowing.
"Look at you fearful of the humans, worthless! I created you to destroy them not hide like the council of fools!"
Attila felt something brush on his leg he covered his mouth to prevent from yelling as he jumped and ran out he ran as fast as he could.
X X X
"Well uh thanks for the tour," Raph said nervously not liking Moncrief's behavior "But we should probably be going!" He said putting a hand on Leo. He slapped it away.
"No! I am not going back to what's-his-rat!" Leo snapped. "I want to see his umm, his uhh-"
"Hall of Victories?" Moncrief suggested gesturing to a purple with said words engraved in gold and black at the top. "You can't leave without seeing this fellas." He said sinisterly.
"YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES!" Leo said excitedly as Raph felt something crawl up his arm he looked over to see Klunk trying to get to his head.
"Klunk?" He asked.
"Something, wrong with Atti!" she said Raph looked around indeed Attila was gone with the door leading into the apartment wide open.
"You go ahead Leo I'll begin initiating the comic signing Protocol," Donnie said using his battle shell to place the comic in a glass box with tubes two of which he put his hands in and started dusting off the comic as one of his spider hands gave him a sip of juice.
"Yeah I'll uh Supervise!" he said as Leo gave him a thumb's up and entered. The minute the door shut he ran out.
X X X
Everything was Draxum, every shadow, every light every object the faintest touch against his feet were his vines his voice berating him. He had fallen down at the bottom of the stairs. Berated for being so clumsy, he yelped berated for being fearful.
"Everything about you is wrong, your mind, your heart, your movement. You can do nothing right. I expect better from you! Why are you not like your father or brothers?! Why are you so unwilling? Do you not care about Yokai kind? Are you a traitor to the humans! You're a fool! A Fool who will easily get himself killed and waste, my life's work!"
More and more until Attila screamed unleashing a powerful burst of energy that melted the fence and dumpster slightly as he fell and curled up in a ball he was hyperventilating and sobbing tears in spite of himself. "You pathetic worm: I've told you crying is for the weak; Why do you insist on disappointing me!?"
Attila couldn't stop why wouldn't it stop he continued to cry and hyperventilate the world going blurry around him.
"A…tti…att…..wh…wrong..?"
"Cra….it's….attack…..wha…..ape…..say to….do?!"
Attila screamed when he was touched on the back of his shell but it didn't hurt he looked up and saw a blur of green and red. He then felt a soft rubbing sensation against his shell that started to calm him.
"Hey, I got you little man, its okay….deep slow breaths….in"
Attila obeyed taking as long of a breath as he could.
"Out…" Attila repeated this and soon he felt calm his heart had slowed down his lungs felt like they were collecting air now. As his brother came in vision much clearer.
"Ra…ph?" Attila asked sniffling.
"That's right, Raph's here, Raph's got ya."
"Atti?" Klunk asked as she came into vision. He reached out and pet her as she nuzzled him worriedly. Raph picked them both up.
"Raph, I wanna go home." Attila weakly muttered; Not caring about the autograph or anything. He didn't care if Splinter was lame or got annoying like Leo. Splinter didn't act weird or dangerously aggressive like Draxum did. He made him feel safe and happy.
"Yeah, we're going, screw the Autograph. Moncrief's been freaking me out all night and you had a Panic attack that's a Crimson flag."
Attila nodded the tears were stopping but a couple more of them fell. "Can I walk?" he asked.
"Are you sure?" Raph asked nervously.
"Yeah," Attila replied Raph let him down as Klunk jumped up onto his shoulder and started purring into his face and neck leaning in close to him as they ascended back up the stairs. Raph noticed a smashed part of the wall. Attila looked away guiltily.
"It's not your fault." Raph told him rubbing his shoulder.
Soon they returned to the apartment something was off, Leo and Moncrief weren't back yet. And Donnie was gone but he hadn't finished his protocol yet in fact the box had been kicked off leaving the comic in its Mylar on the ground.
"Donnie didn't want to leave this alone…" Attila muttered nervously picking it up. Raph looked around he noticed an incredibly realistic statue of his Red Panda sidekick Red Fox. He stared at it when it blinked.
"AHHHH IT BLINKED AT ME!" Raph screamed Attila jumped up as he and Klunk looked at the statue it blinked a few more times, and then forced its mouth to move.
"He….llllp…..me….." she muttered.
"SHE'S ALIVE!" Raph screamed.
"Raph?!" Attila whimpered as they heard scratching they turned to see Klunk at the Hall of Victories door.
"Lee and Donnie!" she said to them scratch at the door some more they rushed over Attila picking up Klunk as they rushed in and Raph looked around he saw people in costumes blinking back at him a couple looking like they were ready to cry as they looked around.
"They're all alive!" Raph muttered in horror. "Moncrief thinks he's the real Jupiter Jim! And these poor fans are villains! LEO, DONNIE!" he shouted rushing down the hall further until he found what he was looking for a Reptilia exhibit.
Inside were Leo and Donnie trying to move Donnie was in a position like he was a mad scientist but his goggles had been moved up somehow when he was moved. Leo was in a battle stance.
"Where's Moncrief!?" Raph asked.
"JUPITEERRRR JIIIIMMMM AHHHHOOOYYYYYYY!" He shouted jumping down from a large Mecha Dinosaur suit that Leo told him was Crushasuarus Rex!" they screamed as they dodged out of the way and got knocked down by the force as Attila tried to protect the comic, while he and Klunk hid behind Raph.
"Moncrief?" he asked with a scoff as he had the mech make a silent roar at them. "That's just an earth name I use to lure villains such as you into a false sense of security. Then POW!" he shouted using the mech to punch its hands together to illustrate his point. "Jupiter Jim neutralizes the threat and keeps the galaxy safe from EVIL!" He shouted swinging the arms apart as he raised his head and got fish eyes in the process.
"Oh, I see you're full on crazy." Raph deadpanned. "Attila you go free Donnie and Leo! I'll handle this space case!"
"Okay!" Attila said as he rushed back over to the window. "Leo what do I do!?"
"An…..sss…wer…in…..com….ic!" he grunted out forcefully.
"That's it! You said the collector's edition has a technique. Maybe it has a way to unfreeze you!"
"No! Get…..new…bro…..thers!" Donnie hissed out as Leo's eyes immediately darted over to his twin the sides of his mouth twitching wildly.
Attila's jaw meanwhile dropped so hard and fast he would swear it almost broke in that moment as he stared horrified at Donnie. "NOOOOOOOOOO!" he screamed incredulously.
"AAHHHHHHHH!" Raph shouted as he ran Klunk immediately changed herself into a Water Panther and attack the arm of the Crushasaurus.
"You fiends I knew you'd have some dastardly trick up your sleeves! A Water Panther from Neptune-358!"
"Whoa!" Attila muttered. "You've been learning fast," he said proud considering she was only three month's old still. However she groaned suddenly as she fell to the ground back to normal and unable to transform. "Oh no you can't hold that for long yet!" he gasped rushing in to get her as Raph managed to grab the fist.
"Attila!" Raph shouted.
"RIGHT!" he yelped as he instantly pulled off the Mylar to the comic and flipped through the pages wildly. "Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it?" he asked roughly going through pages in a panic as Donnie though still frozen watched a single tear falling.
"GOT IT!" he cheered holding it up. "The Jupiter Jim reverse nerve pinch!" he said breaking the glass on their container open then jumping in and preforming the move quickly which allowed his brothers to go limp for a second.
As Leo sat up he and Klunk rushed over to hug him. "You're Free!" Attila happily cheered.
"But at what cost?!" Donnie asked in a grief stricken voice as Attila and Leo who was annoyed looked over at him as he looked at a couple of pages that had been slightly torn and ripped from Attila's rapid search.
"AHHH, A LITTLE HELP, HERE!" Raph shouted as he was dragged and grabbed by the Crushasaurus. Then was Donnie dropping the comic open face first on the floor.
"Two down!" Moncrief declared. "Take that Alien scum! I WILL PROTECT THIS EARTH FROM ALL EVIL!" he shouted.
Attila reached for his Kurosai but Leo stopped him. "If he thinks we're real aliens then lets me real aliens."
"Leo…" Attila muttered nervously.
"Trust me." Leo assured. Attila nodded as Leo got into character.
"Freeze Jupiter Jim!" he shouted in his voice. "Or I will blast you with the Invisible Laser from, Seti Alpha Nine as seen in Jupiter Jim and the Invisible Blaster from Seti Alpha Nine!"
"Egads!" he shouted much to Attila's surprise. "Don't shoot!" he shouted putting his hands up and dropping Donnie and Raph. "This and the Water Panther; I should've planned better for your devious Reptilian cunning!" he growled.
"Now it doesn't have to be this way. For Centulons are species have been at War! But the one thing I know Jupiter Jim Values above all else. Is interplanetary peace!"
"That is my Primary Directive." Jupiter Jim hummed in thought.
"And Peace begins with a hug." Leo added. "What do you say? Bring it in Bro?"
"Peace Ahoy!" Jupiter Jim said as he swung Leo around and hugged him tight while Attila stared in awe.
"We didn't have to fight at all….I didn't think that was possible! To win without fighting! Leo you're amazing!" Attila thought starry eyed at what he was witnessing.
"Little Mustard on that hug but we're all good," Leo muttered as he was gently put down.
"Now that our species has a tenuous alliance, I'll be seeing you around the Galaxy!" he said winking at Leo.
"I would love that." Leo replied happily his fanboy shining through. "
"Peace wins the day! But I'll be watching you!" he warned." With that he jumped out the window and flew off with the Crushasaurus' jet pack, "Until we meet again!"
"Uhh guys, I just wanted to point out that these villains…ARE ACTUALLY REGULAR PEOPLE IN COSTUME!" Raph shouted. "Just wanted to make sure we're all on the same page moving forward." He said as Attila began freeing everyone in the hall. Everyone ran out rapidly as the turtles finally left themselves, Attila had even freed Red Fox. He didn't dare ask anyone how long they were in there. He didn't want to think about it…
X X X
Attila was happy to see the Lair again as they all gathered around Splinter who was in a bit of a funk watching TV. "Oh uh hello sons, how was your day hanging out with Jupiter Jerk?" he huffed.
"Ehh, it's had its ups and downs but who needs that guy? As far as we're concerned we live with our hero." Leo said.
"Our completely sane, non-kidnappy hero," Attila added, Klunk nodding from his shoulder. "Can you tell us about that stuntman again?"
Splinter thought for a moment and nodded. "Oh Chad he was a Prankster I remember this one time-" Splinter began to tell a funny tale about Chad hiding gumballs everywhere. He needed the distraction. He was scared still. Something had changed within him. He felt a bubbling inside of him. It was clawing to get out. Like he wanted to scream and shout and never stop crying. Why! He couldn't he had to keep it under control. A warrior didn't show emotion. They didn't cry they were brave which is what he wanted to be…
