And thus this is the conclusion to the Donnie and Witch Town arc not the last we'll see of Witch Town I don't think
I own nothing except the stuff I made up
Hypnotasmic!
Donnie had already eaten his breakfast and drank a cup of coffee he had had the pot ready beside him as he began to draft wildly. With his recent find he was excited and focused. Unaware of the world around him he could hear voices. He wasn't sure but he soon saw his vision taking shape. The world shone with the most perfect color Purple! He could see the new project in glorious three dimensions he could see how it work how it-
BONK!
"AHHH!" Donnie yelped before turning to see Krysta holding a scroll with her arms crossed, Mikey, Klunk, Mayhem and April staring at him.
"Come on, it's Cauldron cleaning day." April said with Mayhem on her shoulders.
"Ugh! Now?! But I was in the middle of visualizing." Donnie whinned.
"Sorry Donnie that was the deal, and either that or go to Mystic Jail." Krysta pointed out Mikey and Klunk nodding beside her. "Now you can't use tech or science of your own. But you can use the tech and science of others as I cleared it with Mira. By which I mean, Fantastik and a Metal scrub." Krysta replied holding up the two subjects.
"Horaaay! He said without a hint of sarcasm." Donnie huffed, taking them from her. He then reached for a cabinet nearby and pulled out a gas mask.
"Can I come you guys I only saw so much of Witch Town last time we went there Please?!" Mikey pleaded. "Draxum would never let me go there in the past! Not even for Magic."
"Why not? There's plenty of magic you could've learned from there." Krysta pointed out.
"Draxum said the magic witches do was mostly Parlor tricks." Mikey huffed. "And I was only to be taught, quote: important spells. But their magic always looked so pretty and fun, I admired that." Mikey said happily.
"Well now's as good as time as any to experience it." April replied happily. "And not just the small sample you got from that bounce spell!"
"Yeah I'm sure they'd show you around. Mira loves visitors." Krysta replied happily.
"Not me," Donnie pointed out.
"Most visitors." She corrected Krysta then pulled out a portal coin and opened it within seconds of entering they arrived.
"WOOOOWWWW!" Klunk and Mikey cheered together.
"Mikey! Look it's Witch town! I Can already see something magical." Klunk declared pointing at the Newt Witch on her floating chair that was still floating.
"Sweet!" Mikey cheered happily.
"Oh, good you're here!" They heard Gentry say as she came out to greet them.
"Gentry long time no see!" April chirped happily.
"Same, it's good to see you April, thank you for making sure he'd come." Gentry replied.
"He's willing to show, he's can just get swept up in his lab." April assured as Mayhem nodded from her shoulder.
"That's why he's got us!" Klunk replied puffing out her chest happily.
"Emphasis on us," Mikey teased scratching behind her ear as she purred. The inside of the school had large marble hallways. Golden candles and light up crystals lined the halls as pictures of great witches and wizards lined the walls. They passed a huge dinning hall. They could see it being cleaned by various magical mops and scrub brushes.
Other students were passing them through the school as Gentry led them down to the Dungeons.
"What's down here?" Klunk asked.
"Just some more classrooms, like the Potion class, hence the cauldrons being down here it is also where they're cleaned." Gentry replied. "And those potions can get really messy."
Donnie grunted disapprovingly. As much as he groused this was preferable over going to jail or getting April and Possibly Krysta banned from Witch Town. One of them lived there. It really seemed juvenile looking back and it wasn't even worth it or necessary in the end. He wasn't really paying attention to them meeting up with Mira but her voice did break him out of his trance.
"Here we are." She said gesturing to the cauldrons.
"Yup Goopy dirty cauldrons, I'm on it." Donnie replied putting on his gas mask and pulling his goggles down over his eyes and be got started. There was a magical hose nearby waiting for use. Donnie merely waved to it.
Krysta felt a tape and turned to see Mikey looking at her with the biggest cutest purple eyes. Her resolve immediately faltered, also she promised. "Hey Mira, any chance you could show my friend Mikey around town? He's really been dying to have an actual visit."
"I'd be delighted." Mira replied. "Follow me!" she said floating a bit as they headed out.
"We'll see you later Donnie promise!" April called as they headed out. Mikey was practically bouncing, and it was taking all his will not to rush off. One of the first things they saw was a staircase move from them. Mikey gasped excitedly.
"Hey, remember to breathe, okay?" Krysta asked as Mikey immediately took several breaths. One of the things he saw was a Crystal ball floating up to Krysta.
"What's that for?" April asked.
"Schedule," Krysta replied as Gentry got one. Mikey oohed as Gentry pointed to an open room across from them. Mikey could see various bottles glowing in many shapes and colors. They entered inside to see the shelves reach really high.
"That's the potion cabinet we put our potion assignments here." Gentry said before grabbing one with her name on it. "Here's one that puts the worms to sleep."
"Really?" Krysta asked teasingly with an arched eyebrow.
"Yes, Krysta, I admit it. I Hate dirt." She huffed playfully rolling her eyes. Krysta looked satisfied. They went a bit higher towards another room. A floor above where Donnie was now.
"Oooh! No way is that!?" Mikey asked excitedly as Mayhem's jaw dropped.
"This is the legendary Staff of Merlin." Mira said pointing to an elaborate staff with a large crystal hanging from the hook part with black ribbons off the back and three smaller crystals on the inside of the hook blue, pink and yellow. "He left it at his old school as a memento and for safe keeping. This Scepter will make you the most powerful Wizard or Witch in the world!" she declared as a shadow peeked out and gasped before slipping back into the shadows with an eye smile.
"Wait Merlin? As in Arthurian Legend Merlin!?" Krysta gasped.
"Oh yes, he was real, and he was born here! As was Baba Yaga sadly." Mira sighed.
"Wait are you saying all Mythical Creatures are Yokai!?" April asked.
"Yes, all of them." Mira confirmed cheerfully.
"Do you mean what this means April!?" Krysta gasped.
"Mythology is basically academic?" April asked.
"No! Donnie's getting Coal for Christmas for what he did!" Krysta shouted surprised.
"The Acoustics in these tunnels are Amazing!" Donnie snarled from below them as Krysta's ears twitched at that.
"Wow…." She muttered.
There was more to see. They walked around and saw the Magical Creatures classroom outdoors. Along with a large green house full of mystic plants that Mikey would absolutely have to bring Donnie too later. Then they went into town where Mikey saw various magic living instruments playing a few, tunes that he remembered from his Youth when he tried to sneak in.
The shops had various potions and candies that had all kinds of effects, even Mystic die and paints he found, some magical art supplies and paints he was quick to gather up.
"Look at all of this!" Mikey squeaked. "There's all sorts of cool stuff here!" he shouted pointing as he spun. "Here, here, here, here, here!" he repeated spinning around as Klunk had to save him from falling.
Krysta helped him sit up as Mayhem poofed away some of the stuff April just bought. "Don, snacks for?" Mikey hummed still dizzy.
"Yup, so Mikey you've seen enough?" April asked, noticing how dizzy he was.
"Nope! But maybe I need a break." Mikey hummed as he held on to Krysta who helped him up. Mayhem teleported them to Donnie which made Mikey slightly dizzier.
Donnie had been progressing really well. Having done them all. He moved the last one over to be sprayed down by the Yokai hose. It made a happy squeak before blasting away at the inside of the cauldron.
"Make sure they're nice and soaked no plants wants to touch chemicals and I'm pretty sure the cleaner will screw up any potion it meets.
"That's right," Krysta replied taking a Witch Cake and handing it to Donnie who sat down. He looked at the cake and wrinkled his nose. "Not a fan of Pineapple Texture or taste." He muttered.
"Okay, well what else we got?" Krysta asked looking through the bag as April handed him a water before helping Krysta, find a flavor that he'd want as Mikey took the Pineapple one to share with Klunk.
"The flavors really taste like you're eating the actual thing!" Mikey happily said.
"Yup!" Klunk added between mouthfuls.
"Oh, Donnie you should've seen some of the Mystic crystals there was one that plays music and others have crystalized power in them. Oh, and there were living dolls and some voodoo dolls that were creepy. Oh, and spells like a bounce spell a spell that makes you glow in the dark." Mikey went on and on a bit as Donnie growled.
"Sounds…. amazing…." he growled through gritted teeth making Mikey cower a little.
"Yeah, we're not doing this again especially with Mikey here, spill!" Krysta ordered.
Donnie sighed. "I still, don't get mystic stuff! And it just is! Science explains everything. But…Magic is magic!"
"I'm sorry, Donnie." Mikey apologized.
"Oh no, don't not enjoy yourself on my account! I'm sorry if that sounded like sarcasm it's good that you're having fun! What is not fun is not having Mystic Powers! Being unable to have them and not knowing how or why!" Donnie huffed.
"That, doesn't matter, even if it turns out you didn't get Mystic Powers from the ooze and that is a possibility. We are brothers! You, don't have to be anything or do anything special for that!" Mikey assured putting a hand on his shoulder. "Besides you're incredibly smart and you always know how to help!"
Donnie teared up a bit, but he was also waving his hand towards him as if waving the praise, towards himself. Mikey giggled and hugged him. "I'm sure Professor Mystic can help you figure some stuff out." Mikey assured him.
There was suddenly a loud collection of thrashing and smashing. Even a couple of grunts. "Wow you weren't kidding about the acoustics!" Krysta gasped.
Mayhem immediately teleported them to the source where they saw Mira and Gentry. "That's the artifact room!" Krysta gasped as she saw the door had cut apart. There was a bright light and instantly Mikey felt an intense surge of power coming from the room.
"Merlin's Staff!" Mikey gasped.
"MESSSSSSMAAROOOOOOOOo!" shouted a familiar voice that Mayhem was quick to teleport them out of the way of just as it hit Mira and Gentry. Donnie immediately pulled out sound proof headphones form his battle shell for everyone.
"That was Hypno's voice!" Klunk cried. "Is he after the staff!?"
"You mean the staff that makes me the second most powerful magician in the world?" Hypno asked coming out. "Now why would I just leave that alone?" he sneered. "Especially when I can do this!" he said snapping his fingers and instantly Gentry and Mira began doing the chicken dance. Kicking their legs out one at a time as they flapped their folded arms.
"Knock it off!" Krysta snarled as Hypno chuckled. But he ignored her.
"Oh this is going to be fun!" he said waving the staff and instantly a gold crown with a purple cap underneath encrusted with Sapphires and a large diamond at the top along with a purple cape with a white fur rim with black spots and gold scrub brush like shoulder pads. He began to float up with Mira and Gentry still doing the dance as Krysta rushed at them.
"Hey!" she shouted but Hypno zapped the walls of the school making Krysta trip back into the others as they went flying down to the bottom of the school. They crashed in a pile.
"Mayhem get us out to the town!" April called. He nodded and poofed them but instantly they, were zapped back to the floor. "Aww man he made the castle poof proof!" April cried.
"Then we'll have to take the long way. Besides, he might try to figure out how to get into the school vault next. That staff wasn't the only one here!"
"They are more artifacts here!?" Mikey yelped.
"Yes, and if Hypno gets them we can kiss our chances of winning goodbye!" Krysta replied as she jumped up and started running to the stairs.
X X X
"Witches of Witch town!" Hypno called getting the attention of the Witches who all immediately nervously muttered about what they were seeing to each other. "You are all under new Management! Starting now: MESSMAROOOOOO!"
Immediately the entire town stopped what they were doing, including the floating Newt Yokai and began mimicking the dance that Gentry and Mira were doing as they marched around him in a circle. "Do the Macarena!" the music started playing as the entire town did the dance moves putting their hands on their waist at the end and spinning them around before jumping to the left with a clap. as Hypno laughed. "I'm thinking of a spot of tea, maybe some Coffee Cauldron cakes! Then we can start getting the rest of the artifacts!" Hypno declared.
The group had managed to get to the front doors of the castle they peeked their heads outside. They could see the Witches of Witch Town doing the chicken dance and marching towards the castle. A few had hung back to weigh on Hypno who was sipping tea on a chair couch while being fanned.
Krysta quickly shut the door and froze it. "If he's trying to make himself more powerful, he's gonna go after the vault! We need to make sure they don't get in!"
"We also have to get the staff back before he can do worse." Mikey added.
The door was immediately blasted off it's hinges by several of the Witches as Krysta used ice to slide under several and jump up making a grab for the staff.
"Alakazam!" Hypno shouted unleashing a full flurry of razor rings that Mayhem quickly teleported away from her. She immediately saw Mira and rushed at her grabbing the Key from around her neck. and knocking her in the gut with a frozen tail.
"Sorry Mira!" Krysta muttered regretfully. However, several spells came flying at them; they yelped dodging out of the way as Hypno floated above them with a smirk. Krysta gasped.
"Mayhem get us out of here!" she shouted to the small lion Yokai who nodded and teleported them away. When they landed Krysta immediately saw that they were by the vault. They looked below to see all the Witches chicken dancing in several directions.
"Find them!" Hypno commanded.
"We need to figure out how to get the staff back." April hissed to them. "Mayhem and I can keep an eye on the vault while you guys jump Hypno!"
"I'll help too!" Klunk declared getting into a fighting stance. "But..." she said easing. "We can't just keep the key here."
"That's why I'll hold onto it." Krysta pointed out. "The rest of you go get Hypno."
"You can't go off alone I'm coming with you!" Mikey asserted.
"Alright," Krysta said as she turned to Donnie. "Get the staff."
"I'm on it he said confidently!" Donnie said running off as he began to collect things. Krysta and Mikey ran off to hide watching their backs as Mikey stuck close to Krysta's. He caught something out of the corner of his eye.
"Look out!" Mikey shouted blocking a spell from Mira with his nun chucks. He saw Gentry and Mira approaching them with the chicken dance. Another spell from Mira got them to split apart as Mikey tied up Gentry and threw her into a closet. He shoved a chair under the knob to keep her from breaking out.
He suddenly heard Krysta shout. "Mikey catch!" she shouted, throwing the key to him. He yelped, managing to catch it after a few mishaps. He gasped and looked around to find her gone. He rushed out, hiding the key in his shell.
"Krysta?!" Mikey cried looking around but couldn't find her. That was because she had been tied up in ribbons from Hypno. Some of which had wrapped around her muzzle. She growled at him.
"Ah, ah, ah no talking with your mouth full!" Hypno mocked picking her up by one of the ribbon ropes and flying up with her as she let out a muffled curse.
"KRYSTA!" Mikey shouted, trying to go after her as Krysta shook her head at him. Donnie immediately came out with a handful of stuff he had found. He immediately tried running and working at the same time. He tripped and yelped spinning like a plank as his mechanical arms tried to catch all the pieces flying around him in the air with a yelp he landed diagonally into the wall.
The parts then fell at his feet breaking. "NO!" Donnie gasped. Krysta screamed for Donnie's help as Mikey was about to hand over the key.
"DON'T MIKEY!" he shouted, holding out his hand instantly. A large blaster appeared unleashing a burst of energy at Hypno sending him flying back immediately Mikey groaned shaking his head out and saw that Hypno had dropped Krysta he rushed over pulling the scarfs off from around her muzzle.
"You shouldn't have tried to come back for me." She scolded.
"I couldn't stop myself." Mikey muttered shamefully as he untied Krysta who sighed.
"Thanks," She assured.
Up above the witches that were attacking April, Mayhem and Klunk groaned as they held their heads. "Look they must've stopped Hypno!" Klunk shouted as they rushed past the confused witches who decided to follow.
They rushed out to see Donnie in a trance like state summon several lightning rods that swirled around him as Hypno unleashed a powerful surge of lightning.
Donnie merely grounded them all as the lightning harmlessly struck them instead. Grounding the lightning and disappearing as Hypno gasped. "How is this happening?! The staff is supposed to make me the second most powerful magician in the world!"
"Witch!" Mira corrected with a snarl. "Magicians are just pale imitators."
Donnie then placed on some purple metallic armor that took a familiar shape. It had a large reptilian tail with a trident at the end. Donnie with a smirk could be seen at the base of the shoulders and neck of the robot's face as a large gun like protrusion and pointed engines he got into a ninjutsu stance once the robot was completed as Mikey gasped.
"He made Yaldabaoth!" he gasped as April, Klunk and Krysta gasped in shock and awe. Donnie immediately began spinning as Hypno summoned a bunch of rocks to smash into Donnie but he merely began spinning.
"Fibonacci!" He declared knocking the rocks back towards Hypno who dance dodged as they struck at him. Hypno had to perriet, twirl and lean back to dodge the rocks. He sighed in relief but then came a rocket punch that knocked him into the air followed up with a flying kick from Donnie making him drop the staff as he tumbled down to the ground floor.
Hypno screamed as he reached for the staff. However, Mayhem appeared on it and smirked evilly as he tightened himself around its handle. "No wait please- "Hypno cried but he had disappeared instantly taking the staff with him as Hypno resigned himself to his fate. "Aww Cauliflower!" With a scream Hypno crashed into the ground making a, him shaped hole that he groaned pulling himself out of.
Poofing in front of him again was April who smirked and zapped him with the staff as Mayhem sat on her shoulders. Immediately he was doing the same chicken dance he made the town's folk do. However, it wasn't long before the denizens of Witch Town gathered around glaring at Hypno.
"Seize him!" Mira shouted.
"SIEZE THE MAGICIAN!" They all shouted immediately tackling and dog piling Hypno within minutes Hypno groaned as he found himself on the floor of one of the Hidden City Jail cells. The turtles had started taking him here. He'd have to find a way to bust out. He dusted himself off unaware that he was being watched.
He suddenly saw shadows poor around him that grabbed and pulled him down as he screamed a laugh filling the air.
X X X
Magic was being used to repair the castle and it was decided that the staff would have a replica for others to behold while the real one was to be tucked away in the vault away from potential threats.
"Well," Donnie boasted sliding up to Mira with a smug look and his arms crossed. "Who'd have thought science and magic combined would best the power of Merlin! I'll concede that I certainly didn't buuuut I did utilize them together, pretty well!" he said boastfully rubbing his nails against his plastron to polish them before admiring them.
Mira stepped away from Donnie with a stern look. "Donatello, you have repaid your debt. You also saved Witch Town and the Staff of Merlin. And for that We are all grateful. However, we are still far from a place of Amity."
"Fair enough," Donnie replied sheepishly as he slid back towards Mikey.
"But this does prove you have Mystic Powers; they just work a bit differently, so they need a different method to unlock. And Professor Mystic is definitely gonna help you figure it out!" Mikey declared proudly.
"Perhaps this will help," Mira said giving Mikey a book that said mystic blossoming on it. Mikey recognized the book from his youth. Draxum had it but had scratched out several phrases and tore out some pages from his copy. Probably stuff he deemed parlor tricks. Now he had the full copy.
"Thanks Mira!" Mikey said chipperly as they took their leave Donnie was focusing.
"What are you doing? Do you need the bathroom, there Donnie?" Krysta asked with an arched eyebrow crossing her arms as April and the others watched.
"Trying to summon back that sweet Yaldabaoth!" he declared madly as he gritted his teeth and strained as he suddenly farted everyone with looks of disgust backed away. "That was not me…." Donnie muttered with wide nervous eyes.
So yeah Donnie's arc has been unlocking and understanding his own mystic powers. But we're not there yet.
