Aqua Marine - Part 1

The Foot Clan completed the Dark Armor and released The Shredder, now the Mad Dogs were looking for a way to stop him. Splinter and Leo went to Big Mama's hotel to try and get an artifact to help seal The Shredder.

Leo had a plan. An amazing plan, it had no way to fail, he'd get the collar and show his brothers his plans worked if they give him the time!

That's the thing.

Leo always came up with brilliant plans, sure, they sounded… Doubtful at first, but if Donnie thought 2 steps ahead, Leo thought 3! The problem was, they never let his plans come to an end, they thought they were dumb and doomed to fail.

—"No Leo, we can't rent a Toucan for your plan."

—"No Leo, we won't dance the Macarena for your plan."

—"Stop goofing around!"

—"You never take this seriously."

Leo was done with that. He'd show them!

—"What have you done, Blue?!"— Splinter yelled to his son.

—"This is my plan, trust me."— Leo said with his usual charm.

—"No. This isn't a plan, this is just a bunch of little problems made into one big problem and it's because of you!"— His father was angry, but not normal angry, angry angry.

—"Dad. You need to trust my plan, or it won't work."— Leo tried to convince him with a more serious tone.

—"It won't work anyways! You made me fight against 6 buff guys with pointy helmets and a giant Kraken AT THE SAME TIME. Did I mention without weapons?! What were you thinking?!"

—"Dad. I-"

—"No. I've had enough of you, I knew I should've brought Purple, he would’ve taken this seriously."

Leo opened his eyes wide, hurting.

And before he could realize, Splinter had already taken his sword and teleported away, probably after Donnie. That wasn’t good, he needed Donnie to stay with Raph and Mikey, he needed him to keep tracking down the Shredder! Ugh, why couldn't his father trust his plan?!

But he had no time to keep beating himself up, when his father and his brother appeared through one of his characteristic blue portals.

—“Salutations Nardo, seems like you could use some of *my* intelligence for your plan? He asked completely *not* surprised about it.”— He checked some stuff on his wrist pad.

Leo made fun of him by repeating what he said in a dumb voice. —“He asked completely not surprised about it- Shut up Donnie. I need you to trust my plan since dad doesn’t.”

Donnie raised an eyebrow. —“Ok, what’s your plan then?”

Leo smiled a bit, finally! He could explain his plan. —“Ok so, I made dad fight against these 6 guys *purposefully* with pointy helmets while at the same time he has to deal with the giant Kraken which is the current Battle Nexus champion!”

—“...”

—“Did I mention without weapons?”

—“...”

—“Ok, the plan begins when I-”

—“No.”

—“No? What do you mean?”— Leo chuckled nervously.

—“You lost me at the 6 guys plus a Kraken. Leo, do you- Ugh-” He grabbed his forehead. —“Do you realize why we never listen to your plans now?”

Leo’s heart sank. He didn’t want to break, not now, he had to keep trying to use his plan! Y-Yeah… —“But, you haven’t even let me explain, that’s just the introduction.”

—“And the introduction sucks! Now if you excuse me, we have to put *my* new plan into motion.”

Splinter put his hand over Leo's shoulder. —"I'm sorry my son, I know you want to help us, but this is serious, and Purple is trying to fix this whole situation."

Leo grabbed his father's hand and pulled it away without making eye contact. —"Yeah, sure."

The slider felt like crying out of sadness and screaming out of frustration. Maybe both! But apparently he had no other option but to sit down and look at how Donnie's plan developed.

—“Nardo, I need your portals over here for the plan.”— But Leo honestly didn’t wanted to help. He let out a big sigh and got up from his seat to help.

Donnie’s plan consisted on sending his tech down the arena with Leo’s portals to defeat the Evil Six, and then he’d use his drill to defeat the giant Kraken, easy peasy.

Leo was in a bad mood, doing the bare minimum to help Donnie, which pissed him off a bit, starting a classic ‘Disaster Twins’ little fight.

But they had to get serious when Splinter was tired and injured, and he still hadn’t beat up the Kraken yet.

Donnie hesitated to push his wrist device to call the drill, it was in beta, it wasn’t 100% certain that it’d work, but he had to try.

He pushed the device and the drill came out of the ground.

It wasn’t enough power, the Kraken destroyed it easily and Leo panicked.

—”Donnie, please trust me, I *have* to get down there.” —The slider exclaimed with worry taking over his voice.

—”No! You put us into this situation in the first place and now I have to clean up your mess! Like I always do.” —He mumbled the last part, but it was enough for Leo to listen.

That was it, he was going down.

But he was immobilized into the wall with web goo.

—”No, no, no turtlie-boo!” —The spider yokai showed herself from the shadows. —”Did you forget I was here? No one ignores Big Mama~”

But thanks to Leo getting captured, Donnie got time to go down and give the Kraken a big hit with his Tech-Bo turned into a giant hammer, resulting in being the new Battle Nexus’ champion.

—”What?! Two of you?! —Big Mama exclaimed. But it soon didn’t matter; the crowd was wild, yelling and cheering the new Battle Nexus champion and the fierce fight. —”Well. A deal’s a deal, you can have my wizzybang.” —She said, giving Leo the collar and going away.

Leo was quick to get free and go down to check on Splinter.

—”Dad! Dad, are you ok?!” —He asked and got a small thumbs up from his father. Leo sighed in relief and opened a portal to go back to deal with the Shredder only to find Mikey, Raph and April going insane trying to locate Shredder’s new location.

—”You’re back!” —Raph said relieved. —”What took you so long?”

Leo was about to talk, when he was interrupted by the soft shell. —”Well, Leo’s plan wasn’t exactly good, so I had to go fix it and in short, I’m the new Battle Nexus’ champion and I got the collar to seal the Shredder.”

—”GO DONNIE! GO DONNIE!” —They yelled in unison.

Ugh, Leo couldn’t believe this. Their family didn’t trust him at all, he couldn’t use his plans because they were always looked down and he didn’t even have the chance to explain himself! He was so pissed, it was impossible that they preferred Raph’s ‘no plan’ plan after his *brilliant and well thought* plans! It made no sense in his head!

Donnie’s plans were good, yeah, but he lacked the manipulation and face-man abilities to pull off something better. He only thought about statistics and logic, but people are more than that and no one understood how Leo saw that when no one else did.

—”All good Leo?” —Mikey slowly approached. He could see something was wrong.

—”Yeah fucking great.” —He took Splinter with him and walked back home.

Mikey just stood there. They’d have a Dr. Feelings family session after this.

After an hour, the fam was back in the lair and Leo just finished treating Splinter’s injuries in the med bay. When he got back to the living room, Raph was waiting for him with his arms crossed. Uh oh.

—”Leo. Why did you mess up the mission again?” —He questioned.

—”I didn’t!” —He got defensive immediately. —”I had a plan but mr. ‘I do everything perfectly’ ruined it!”

Raph was surprised. —”That wasn’t what Donnie told me. He told me you put pops in an impossible situation and he had to go there and help him.”

—”It was part of my plan! Why won’t you trust me? *Why do you never give me the chance?!*”—He was on the verge of tears.

Raph sighed. —”I want to. But it’s hard when your plans involve things so dumb and weird. They sound like you're trying to pull up a prank on us instead of helping us.”

Donnie, who was silently spectating the conversation alongside Raph said with a soft voice. —”We just want you to take it seriously. This wasn’t a game, papá could’ve gotten even more hurt than he did.”

The slider had the tears just there, in the corner of his eye, but he wouldn’t show that weakness to his older brothers. So he just sucked it up and walked away to his room.

—”Leo. I’m not done.” —Raph used his ‘big brother’ tone.

But he just kept walking.

—”I’m still talking to you! Leo! Come back here! UGH-!” —He hit the table close to him, startling Donnie.

Leo locked his room and threw himself to his bed, let out a big sigh and, after a few seconds of silence, screamed into his pillow. It was so frustrating. He had to bear this every time he had a plan. It’s always “Leo this”, “Leo that” and never “ok Leo, let’s try it.”

If they only gave him the chance. He could show them how easily he can outsmart anyone! All he asked was for a chance, and it was always taken away before it even started.

He was so done.

The next day arrived and Raph and Donnie were feeling pretty guilty about last night’s discussion with Leo. They were too harsh and Leo was right, they never actually gave him a chance to try one of his plans. They regretted that it had to come to this for them to realize, but they were ready to give Leo a chance.

—”Uh, Leo? Can we talk?” —Raph said knocking on the door.

—”We’re very very sorry Nardo! Two very’s!” —Donnie yelled through the door.

But no answer.

—”Leo?” —Raph softly pushed the door.

But Leo wasn’t there.

A ton of life stuff has been happening lately, as well as the end of my partner’s COVID quarantine, so all of a sudden, I have my usual time alone again to watch dramas and catch up on, like, the internet, while managing lots of life change. It’s almost like I have a stress/anxiety hangover, which I’ve been nursing by re-re-re-re-rewatching Kinou Nani Tabeta and re-rewatching Cherry Magic....which is like, something I do when I need to occupy my brain without really engaging it. Fall ends up always being super crazy busy, it throws me!

But anyway, I wanted to jot down that I think I’m also coming down from the DELICIOUS high of the amazing Old Fashion Cupcake DVD epilogue to plow through my drama list, so I’m picking up Super Rich again while waiting for Banshaku no Ryuugi to get subbed and Kabe Koji’s episodes to come out (SO HARD TO WAIT A WEEK FOR EACH CUTE SHORT EPISOOOOODE).

And I’m mulling over a #long-post about women eating alone in shows and why I love the concept so much in doramas. With Banshaku and Wakako Zake season 5 getting subbed, I want to do a nice, long meditation on why I think the depiction of women eating and drinking alone is so beautiful in drama art -- and how it’s been a huge source of importance and comfort to me from my early adult years to my barreling towards middle age now. Even though I’ve become a mom, the urge I have to sit at a bar by myself and just linger over a cocktail and a snack -- it’s unchanged, and I want to meditate on why I think I get that way and why these shows hit that nail for me so much.

I also miss writing on Tumblr! I’m gonna finish Three Star Bar soon, so I’ll get a review up. Yes, I’m on multiple Machida shows, BUT -- I’m through the first two episodes of Super Rich now, and Akaso Eiji is FAB.U.LOUS. in it. He’s so good! I was a little thrown by how cheesy his role was in Hiru, but Super Rich is doing him a solid. So more reviews of old shows soon, womp!

#i can't tell y'all how tired i am #solo mommying for almost two weeks is no joke #being able to make a meal just for myself feels like a new concept #i've been subsisting on my children's leftovers this whole time #my mind and soul aren't quite _broken_ per se #but i'm picking up the pieces to get back to normal #which feels amazing
