Hopeless Hero Synopsis:

I was trying to write this when I was in a "I love ninja turtles stage" and I was slightly... sliiiightly...obsessing over them to get me through some rough times.

This story was going to bring my original characters in with the turtles, and team them up together.

I was going to focus a little on Jade and Donnie's connection, as well as her connection with the other turtles. It kind of leads off my cross over, but was hoping to make it a stand alone story, focusing more on the turtles and Jade than my usual Animorphs connection with my characters.

So in this story, the Foot are trying to find and track down pieced of Chanaiben ships, to steal their technology to try and defeat the turtles, and, you guessed it, rule the city.

Jade and the turtles were going to be in a race against time to find not only the other pieces of their ships, but also find out who or how many Chanaibens are hiding around the world (or just the city to start with). The man she encountered in the museum would eventually pop up again. I hoped to have it as kind of a cat and mouse game. One where she would have the advantage over him, and then the next encounter he would pop up and know stuff and then disappear again. Eventually they would meet in the middle of a battle, where he would reveal himself to be another living alien in the city. And that is when there we would start introducing more aliens floating around, bit by bit as they lead Jade and her team to more clues as to what the Foot plan to do with all the space junk theyve collected.

Donnie would, at first, think this new man/alien was trying to hurt or flirt with Jade, so jealousy might ensue, but when they find out he's actually an alien things would be all forgiven (cause, c'mon, who doesn't enjoy a good love triangle?)

Also at some point I wanted to bring Ithiell and Rtaia in (my alien original characters) to try and help or work out what's going on. But I also planned at one point for them to suddenly be cut off from Jade's team all together, so they were pretty much on their own towards the finale.

I never had a final scene worked out for this one, I was honestly hoping it would come to me as I wrote this. So I don't have solid finale, but it would have included all the Chanaibens they had found on the way, as well as a few friends coming out of the woodworks to help take down the Foot's schemes.

And of course I probably would have ended it on a cute Donnie and Jade kissing moment, or something similar. Hopefully you guys can think of something sweet they could do.

Catch you on the flip side everyone.
