rottmnt tickle head cannons? What is your favorite tickle trope for Rise? (As in who is your favorite Lee/ler scenario)
🐢Rottmnt Tkl Headcanons♡
~Oooooh my Rise hcs! Sorry I've been so dead recently, school is kicking my ass this semester (⊙⁠﹏⁠⊙). I'll do character hcs first, and the trope thing at the end. Much longer than my others for sure. I need to do more for these skrunkles tbh. Slight Rise spoilers if you squint. Sorry this took 8,000 years, and thank you for requesting!~

General:
We can all agree that this big ol’ teddy bear loves tickles, right?
Be it a fluffy comfort or destroying a bratty brother, Big Raphie is up for it.
Taking this into account, he feels like a switch.
Might admit he likes it around the right person, though his brothers have known for years.
He has to really trust someone to tell them.
Doesn't wanna seem like he's unfit to protect his brothers. As you can probably guess, he gets lovingly ejected from that mindset when people find out.
Lee:
If he gets a lee mood, he tries to hide it and fails miserably.
Big boy will have the dopiest grin around his playful brothers, which he does a horrible job at hiding.
Can't seem to focus on his advice-giving or training. It doesn't take long for his brothers to notice.
Worst spot is his underarms. You get him there and he'll give every dog near a NYC sewer grate a headache.
Melt spots are his palms and beneath his chin. Gentle scratches on either surface melt him into a happy, giggly puddle.
Likes being tickled by anyone really close to him. He's just gotta be in the right mood for it. April kills him most often.
Amazing thing to do to him is gentle melt-spot attention to help him relax. Toss in some reassurances and praise while you're at it. He'll be in a blissful daze for hours.
Ler:
Mostly a revenge-ler, but he can also randomly get ler moods.
He loves the Tickle Monster persona, always uses it on his brothers when they're being shitheads.
A softer ler, though he isn't afraid to wreck someone if they refuse to quit (or ask).
When he's being nice, soft scribbles, flurries of pokes, and side squeezes.
“Cootchie-coo, ya cutie!”
When he's not-so-nice, you get one or two giant, inescapable tickle-claws attacking you, big squeezes and occasionally neck nibbles if he's feeling evil.
Mikey, Leo and April get it most often, though each for different reasons.
Mikey straight up asks, and big bro is more than happy to provide. Boy loves a willing lee.
Leo’s always a shit, and some Raphie tickles work wonders on taking him down a peg.
April either offers to let him tickle her as a stress/mood reliever or engages a tickle fight.
He gives the best aftercare ever (⁠*⁠˘⁠︶⁠˘⁠*⁠)⁠。⁠♡. Cuddles, back rubs, maybe a nap in his cozy lap if you're comfortable with it. Potential hot chocolate if you're patient.
🗡️Leo✨
Tumblr media
General:
Sassy man gives off ler-leaning switch.
Always in the mood to lovingly murder his brothers’ lungs, but occasionally likes to forget his name.
This playful goof definitely likes tickling, though he refuses to admit it. He needs to protect his coolness, afterall.
Lee:
When the lee mood hits, everyone in the house is immediately notified. Not directly, of course, but it's pretty obvious that something's up.
WAY more one-liners and flippy jokes than normal. Awkward finger guns at the end of jokes, little prods and pokes for no reason, just general annoyance.
In his mind, he'll either annoy them into wrecking him, or they'll pick up on it and help. Either way, he gets tickled.
If anyone tickles him, it's usually either Raph or Mikey. Raph gets tired of his shit the quickest, and Mikey is good at reading people.
Worst spots are his thighs and feet. Get him there, and there's no way he'll be able to even think about sassing anyone through his laughter.
Melt spots are his forearms. After a long day of patrolling the city and being awesome, some light traces there will make him a very happy turtle.
Ler:
Okay but the SASS
He's such a teasy bastard of a ler. Will tease and coo at his lee until they're a flustered, blushy mess. Then he'll call ‘em cute one more time, just because he can.
He frequently gets ler moods, but those are way easier to take care of than their opposite.
Most of the time, his lee will be Mikey or Donnie. His bubbly brother is almost always in the mood for a good tickle “fight,” and Donnie needs to relax sometimes.
Has a bit of a rough style, but does get softer moods sometimes.
During regular moods, he loves to dig into sides and bellies, attack death spots and blow raspberries to hear a lee squeal.
On softer occasions, he'll gently skitter his fingers along death spots, switching places whenever the giggling gets too loud. Maybe some tickly kisses if you're lucky
His aftercare typically consists of cuddling during a Jupiter Jim movie, snacks, and gentle praises. Makes sure his victims are smiling, even when his fingers aren't wiggling.
🎨Mikey☀️
Tumblr media
General:
Sunshine boy loves tickling, both as a bonding activity and a coping method.
He's a lee-leaning switch for sure. Ready to get his ass handed to him, but open to helping out his brothers’ lee moods or cheering someone up.
Has magical “can say the t-word at any time” powers. You know he abuses the absolute heck out of said powers, too.
Lee:
Lee moods are no rare thing for this boyo.
Gets them very frequently, though he's actually able to ask for help when he needs it.
Either accidentally or on purpose, he's able to fluster his ler. He'll ask for more, one specific spot, tell them that they're doing an awesome job, ect.
When he gets super stressed, some cheer-up/calm-down tickles are much appreciated (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)
A massive squirmer, he can't help it. Make sure to pin or hold him, or you might get an elbow to the nose (accidentally, of course; he'd never stop apologizing).
Worst spots are his knees and neck. Either spot gets him screeching, though he isn't likely to try and stop you.
Melt spot is his palms. With his mildly-terrifying mystic magic, some feather-light touches can be reassuring. Just make sure to ask first.
Everyone kinda rotates through wrecking him, though Raph and Donnie kinda dominate the field.
Either because they catch on/get annoyed the quickest or something else, he's usually found with them.
Ler:
Surprisingly formidable ler
Don't let his cinnamon-roll vibe fool you: this man can and will wreck your shit.
Tweaks his style a bit for each person. Super observant and tailors how and what he does to each lee.
Compliment-teases are his specialty. He'll have you blushing in 5 seconds flat.
“Aww, I love your blush! It's so bright and cute, just like you!”
“This squishy belly is just so ticklish, isn't it? Here I thought it was just adorable!”
“Was that a snort? No, don't hide it! Those are the best!”
His ler moods are a bit rarer, but they are absolutely something to fear (or enjoy while they last (⁠◡⁠ ⁠ω⁠ ⁠◡⁠)).
Super sweet aftercare. You can't escape cuddling (unless you can't handle the touch, he'll understand). Usually some hand-baked treats as well, depending on what he has hidden from his brothers.
General:
🛠️Donnie👾
Tumblr media
He's a ler-leaning switch, but that's mainly because he's not always open for being touched.
He gets lee moods, but they're rarer. People have to ask before they try anything.
Even with ler moods, not always open to get somebody.
Communication with this boy is key.
Lee:
It takes a good combination of good day + not overstimulated + in a touchy mood, but he does get lee moods.
Tries to hide and ignore them, but it never works out. Either Shelldon finds him and helps, or one of his brothers stumbles across the mood.
If he’s super overwhelmed with a project and okay with touch, some light tickles are perfect for bringing him back to Earth.
Little hand flaps and kicks when you get him. Happy stims galore! (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Worst spot is his soft shell, though armpits are a close second. Loud, bright and occasionally hysterical reactions.
Melt spots are his belly plastron and tops of his thighs. Gentle traces and scratches on either spot leave him a stimmy, giggly puddle.
Most of the time, it’ll be Leo who tickles him. It’s usually for help calming down, though April isn’t far behind.
Will never admit it, but he does enjoy both sides of tickling.
Ler:
You know this mans uses his shell attachments to wreck people.
Those metal claws? Yeah, good luck- =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇)
Very dramatic commentary on his lee’s reactions. His inner theater kid loves to shine. Either that, or complete monotone. There’s no in-between, and he’s never offered an explanation.
“Oh my, you’re laughing rather hard, my dear gigglebug!”
“Judging by this raucous laughter, I’d say this is your worst spot.”
“Oh, it tickles? Really badly? How unfortunate for you…”
Has absolutely made tickle-specific gadgets and I will die on this hill.
Remember the feather staff feature from the Shredder episode? He didn’t just have that for no reason.
Usually wrecks Mikey and/or Leo. They’re both very talented at provoking him, either on purpose or by accident.
His aftercare depends on his mood. If he’s cool with touch, he’ll cuddle and watch a movie with you. If not, you’ll usually get some pats from his claw and snuggles from Shelldon (yes lil’ dude is fine gimme a break)
📹April⚾
Tumblr media
General:
Hmmmm toughie, but I’d say ler-leaning switch. Not all that ticklish, but willing to help if one of her brothers is in a bad ler mood.
She just kinda prefers to do the tickling most of the time, unless it’s for her bros.
Extremely confident, bears the magic power of saying the t-word whenever she pleases. You know she puts it to good use, too.
Being the sister of the family, she’s gotta put her bros in their places. Why not use tickling?
Lee:
While it’s not often, she’ll let Big Raphie tickle her if he needs to.
Sometimes that boy just needs someone to reassure him that he’s not hurting them while giggling their brains out.
She’s pretty good at sitting still, amazing poker face. Could easily dominate in the Arms Up game.
As I said before, not super ticklish. Serves her well in tickle fights (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)
Only her ribs really get her laughing, but other than that it’s bubbly, pitchy giggles.
Doesn’t really have a melt spot, though if she had to choose a favorite, it’d be her belly.
Ler:
VERY very teasy. Easily-flustered lees be warned (˘ ˘ ˘)
Loves seeing her lee blush and sputter, finds it endlessly adorable.
“What? Oh, it tickles? Good, thought I might’ve been going too easy on ya!”
“Oooo, someone’s blushin’! How cute~”
“Wonder what would happen if I went for your worst spot… Only one way to find out!”
Giggles along with her lee. They’re adorable—how could she not?
As big sis, it’s her job to keep her brothers in line. Why not use tickling?
Frequently gives Raph calm-down/confidence-boosting tickles. Boy’s too stressed, in her opinion.
After him, it’s helping Donnie relax or pry him away from a project. Leo also needs to be taken down a peg every once in a while.
Super snuggly aftercare. Back rubs, praises and even some teases for the road, if ya catch my drift~
🔥Cassandra🏒
Tumblr media
General:
I’m feeling ler on this one. She doesn’t seem like she’d enjoy being tickled too much, though she definitely doesn’t mind wrecking others.
Before the Hamato fam stepped in, she didn’t really have much experience in the tickly field.
Maybe one of her foot-face mentors, but other than that, nada.
That absolutely changes when she joins the bros.
Ler:
Ready to vanquish any “enemy” lee mood to help her friends out.
Rougher style normally, though she can be convinced to dial it back. You wanna forget your name? She’s your gal.
Takes her role sorta seriously, though she can be playful. Just depends on her mood.
If she does tease, it’s more observational than anything.
She just kinda says flustering stuff without meaning to.
“Well, no duh it tickles. That’s the whole point!”
“Not there? You asked me to tickle you, but scold me the moment I get somewhere? I don’t think so!”
Attacks everyone pretty evenly, but she does have a preference for April and Raph. They’re the most fun to take down, in her opinion.
Cass respects boundaries, of course. You genuinely want her to stop and she’ll be off you in seconds.
Doesn’t grasp the concept of aftercare quite yet. Once you can breathe, she’ll start asking for feedback.
“How was that? Did it really tickle? Details, giggler, details!”
If specifically requested, though, she does give a mean back-rub and/or massage. If your back or neck is ticklish, though, you’re gonna have a whole new problem~ ( ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )
💮Splinter🐀
Tumblr media
General:
Splints has ler energy, ya know?
Like April, not super ticklish. He isn’t the biggest fan of being tickled, but if it’s with very specific people, he’ll tolerate it.
Doesn’t interact tickle-wise very often, but he does have his moments.
Is very aware that his children love it and tries to connect with them in that way sometimes.
Ler:
With his ninja skills and small size, he can take down even the brattiest of lees in seconds.
You see his tail? Yeah, absolutely uses it to help wreck his victims.
Very playful, goofy ler. Laughs along with his lee, makes little comments on their reactions.
“Oh my, little one. I never would have thought you’d be so sensitive!”
“Heheh, what a cute laugh! You really should let me hear it more often!”
When he notices any of his kids are down in the dumps, he sneaks in a few pokes and scritches with his tail.
If that doesn’t work, they get the full-Splints treatment. Reassuring teases, rougher tickles and his undivided attention.
He’ll bug Draxum when he feels like it, which is more funny than anything.
Reducing the broody goat-man to a giggling, cursing mess is therapeutic for him ( ͡º ꒳ ͡º)
His aftercare is light and sweet. Head pats, reassurances, and a small cookie break for a nice close.
🌱Baron Draxum🐐
Tumblr media
General:
Before the turtles, had little to no idea what tickling was about.
Sure, he knew that people laughed when it happened, but he couldn’t tell what was so great about it. It was just touch and laughter - no big deal.
Once the teetles got ahold of him, though? Yeah, that view changed pretty quick.
Turns out he’s a switch. Likes “destroying his nuisances” with the harmless technique, but doesn’t mind it being used on him.
Will never admit the latter, though.
Lee:
A LOT more ticklish than one would imagine. Like a few squeezes will leave him giggling and blushing like there’s no tomorrow.
He’s pretty good at hiding his lee moods, though they definitely aren’t repressible. Draxy feels them, but can keep others in the dark.
If anyone’s gonna notice, it’ll be Lou (Splinter). He knows the man the best, thanks to Mikey’s whole “fatherly-bonding” push.
Splints will help, though he’ll tease the shit out of the Baron the entire time.
While he’ll never tell the rat man, he enjoys the silly exchanges.
Worst spots are his hips and shoulder blades. Either place will have him stuck in a snorty, rumbling bout of hysterics.
Melt spots are his palms. He adores gentle traces there, lets him know somebody cares.
Ler:
Absolutely uses his mystic powers to help him.
Those vines? Yeah, restraints and tickle tools for days
Very smug ler, likes to tease his lees until they’re flustered messes. It’s done out of love, though, so can you blame him?
“This must be torturous, huh? The vines holding you still, my fingers on your worst spots… However, I don’t think I’ve heard you say stop…”
Usually tickles the teens if they’re annoying him, but also goes after Lou every so often.
He knows there’ll be repercussions, but life’s no fun without a little risk.
Huginn and Muninn are next in line. Surprising no one, they’re and attention whores. Draxy makes sure they get their fills.
Not the best with aftercare, but he tries. Back rubs and light praises while you catch your breath. Maybe some of his “confectionary wonders” if you’re brave enough.
*✧⁠◍Favorite Trope & Lee/Ler Pairing◍✧⁠*
Okay, so there’s no way I can pick a single favorite pairing. I love them all too much! I can, however, name my top 3.
lee!Raph, ler!April is definitely up there. I adore the big-siblings energy in their fics, and they just bond so well!
Pretty much anything with lee!Donnie in it. I love seeing the smarty-pants get got ( •̀ ᵕ •́ )
lee!Draxum and ler!Splinter. Okay, hear me out, but I love redemption arcs and enemies to friends/lovers/co-parents or whatever you wanna call what they have going on. They’re fun and I like fun.
For my favorite trope, I’m gonna have to go with cheer-up tickles, or more specifically, some stop-stressing-tf-out tickles. It’s always so fun to read how people would cheer up the boys, as well as write some super duper, totally not self-indulgent fics like that for myself. Maybe one day they’ll see the light, but don't count on it lol (¬////¬)

Hello there! I red almost all of your ROTTMNT related stuff and I must say your writing is sooooo good! You have a talent for that!
Also, if you dont mind me askin, I would really love to see how Lou Jitsu (in his human form and/or as Splinter) would react to have around a ticklish Y/N.
Also, any possibility that we could see Draxum too with a somehow Ler behaviour towards Y/N?
With that said,
Hope you havin a great day!
HIII! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am so so so sorry this is so late but I still hope you enjoy!
This is such an amazing request! I'm so excited to do this!
I hope you have an amazing day as well my friend! :]
Tw: none this is adorable!
Side note: All of this is completely platonic!
With all of that being said let's get into it!
-K :]
____________~☆°♡°☆°♡°☆~_____________
Tumblr media
Lou Jitsu! (Human form):
-We're gonna assume for these headcannons you're an actor that was meant to do a movie with him (because I can't think of anything else for human lou!) But!
-He's Having a field day when he found out you were ticklish
-You were anxious about a scene because no matter what you tried it kept getting turned down and nothing was going right
-So he knocked on your trailer door with a rose to try and help cheer you up after the scene was shot for what felt like the 50th time
-After he put the (non thorned) rose in your hair/behind your ear and it accidentally tickled your neck he was on cloud nine!
-"Are you?-" "nO!"
-He tickled you to make you smile, after getting the go ahead, because he's respectful! and reassured you that the scene didn't matter and that everything was going to be okay!
-Let's just say now every time you have stage fright, he'll always be right there to make it all feel better again, in his own little Lou jitsu way!
Splinter! (Lou in rat form!):
-He already knew you were ticklish from seeing the way you acted with his boys!
-So when he finds you alone, upset, he sat down next to you until you were ready to talk about it
-"If any of my boys did this I promise you they'll be grounded" he said half jokingly trying to get you to crack a smile
-after you calmed down enough he asked if it was alright to hug you which you happily accepted he gently nuzzled his whiskers into a tickle spot of yours which got you giggling
-"This normally helps my son's I don't understand what's got you so giggly, I said nothing funny" He joked as he skittered his fingers around more of your tickle spots
-He continued until you felt better again
-"I'm always here if you need anything kid, you're family, no matter what"
Tumblr media
Barron Draxum!:
-He is both happy and intrigued! And confused!
-He doesn't know the first thing about humans so when he poked your side to get your attention and you laughed he looked at you as if he was solving a difficult math equation!
-"Why did you laugh? What was that?" He asked in his monotone voice as he did it again to experiment what was happening
-After you explained to him what was going on, and he remembered what Mikey told him about it, he nodded
-"I see, can I do it again?" He asked curious to learn more, it could be a useful weapon, you never knowww (his words!)
-I mean can you blame him, it worked before ('Many Unhappy Returns' episode!)
-If you said yes to his request he's going to run every experiment possible, like Donnie, to study more and learn more about these humans
-He will absolutely be reporting this back to Mikey!
-I wish you the best of luck my friend!
-In the future though if you ever do need a pick me up, Draxum will be there too, You're a friend of the turtles so you're family to him
---------------------------------------------------
I'm sorry if these were too short! I hope you all enjoyed them anyway! :]
I hope everyone has a great day/evening/night! Because you truly deserve it! Treat yourself, Take care of yourself and know that I am so proud of you for existing! /p /gen /pos
-K :]

First time asking. I don't know if you would be okay to write something with Lee!Human Lou Jitsu and Ler!Baron Draxum. Maybe with Draxum discovering what tickle is for the first time and Lou, for science good has to endure it 😅 Always if you feel like doing it, of course, no pressure!
Am I doing this right?
🎂: ROTTMNT
🧁: Splinter
🍫: Barry
Summary: when Barry finds out was tickling is, he decides he must experiment…. On splinter.
A/N: Thank you for the request, Anon! I decided to veer off from it a little, and have this be after Barry’s redemption, and this be non-human Lou, as it’s easier to write that way lol. Hope you still like it! Also, sorry it’s so short .
Ships: Referenced/implied Queer-platonic Splinter and Barry. (This means non-romantic!)
Am I doing this right?
“Am I doing this right?” Barry asks, as splinters rough laughter fills the hallways.
He had just learned what tickling was, after seeing his….sons? (did he have the right to call them that yet? He wasn’t sure) have a tickle fight .
He had then gone on to ask Splinter what they were doing, which, after a short explanation, sparked his curiosity.
“Can I try?” He had asked, confusion and curiosity plane on his face.
Splinter had …begrudgingly… accepted.
So here they were now, Splinter’s laughter echoing through the lair, with a very hesitant Barry, who wanted to make sure he wasn’t hurting his Co-parent.
(Really, Barry knew he was the Co-parent, but he didn’t know how else to voice his and Splinters relationship. They definitely weren’t romantically involved, but it felt like more than freindship.)
“Yohohour dohohooing fihihine. DoHOHont oveheher thihihink ihihit.” Splinter spoke around his laughter, and octave jump in the middle when Barry experimentally scribbled on his tail.
“Oh, alright then.”
That reassurance helped ease Barry’s hesitancy.
Needless to say, Splinter laughed a lot more ‘for science’ that day.

Their first meeting in a nutshell honestly
Mikey and Lee have once a week mystic training sessions as part of a deal between Baron Draxum and Big Mama. Mikey knew he had 3 other brothers because Draxum showed him the data from the time he created them, but Lee doesn’t know he has brothers, so the appearance of Mikey is quite a surprise. Lee has only met 1 turtle mutant so far and Mikey is very different from her

TW FOR CHILD NEGLECT/ABUSE & SH
More info under the cut.
Tumblr media
Things were hard at first. After the (final) lab explosion, it took a while for Lee to even want to leave it. A part of all of them kind of hoped Muninn and Huginn would come back for them.
Where Draxum's inconsistent dehumanization and high praise only served to build a connection that has rules such as "No calling me foolish names like Dad, only Father if you truly insist." his two henchmen provided more security for the boys.
Once they did leave, Lee- Or Blue. Because names were forbidden from Draxum. They were Red, Orange, Purple, and Blue. Nonetheless, Lee remembered something about getting above ground, into human society, so that's where they worked to get.
Mic has a bit of a temper if he feels like he's being treated like a baby, he'll often respond angrily. (Such as when Lee and Donno try to hide their arguments from him.) This isn't to say he doesn't try to stay cheery, he often plays more of the role of what he thinks a little brother is. Sometimes he cant even control the act, sometimes it feels like his energy levels aren't under his control. He's ironically cooped up by the situation, making him rather antsy since he doesn't have the safety to be free and do things for fun. He is also the one that often collects food and tries to prep some kind of meals for the group. He looks up to Rage and Lee the most since they work to keep happiness between the four.
Rage is mostly nonverbal, only very occasionally will he talk, often quietly. In most cases, he uses body language or other noises. He struggles with his own anger and urges to lash out, which results in him doing the opposite to not scare the others, trying to become as harmless as possible towards them. He tries to help Mic feel better during Donno and Lee's arguments (normally pisses Mic off more.)
Donno is confident. Not really, he often makes jokes and pushes his own ego to ignore the uncertainty of their situation. He is often sitting down or carried by his brothers since his right ankle tends to hurt, possibly from the growth enhancer they'd all been given. He's also the most hungry, so the lack of consistent meals hit him the hardest. He tries to avoid problems, leading to arguments with Lee about what they should be doing, (he normally caves in, though.)
Lee became the de facto leader, leading the others around to try and find their father, which he does believe loved them. Just in his…. Own way. Lee finds the places for them to sleep and takes up responsibilities when needed. Every day, he insists that they'll find their dad (they still follow the name rule, but since dad isn't here, it's not that bad to call him that, right?) Everything will be okay! Even if he's starting to have his own doubts. He's their hope. He can't give up.
Donno always gets hungrier first.
Donno starts an… ugly habit between his brothers and him. And an uglier hunger for a... certain type of meat.
(This is messier ironically since the first draft I had to delete cooked so hard but here's some lore for the beginning Era of the au.)

If we turn left enough times, we'll have gone in a circle.... and end up right back where we started.
@boots-with-the-fur-club @daboyau @littlemissartemisia @thevoidbrothers @noval1t (I hope they don't mind I added their characters into the story for special guest appearance 👉👈)
CW: fight scenes, blood/ichor, panic attacks, slight body horror, hallucinations, abuse, experimentation, surgery, torture... cardiac arrest and character death
(It's a really long one. I am so sorry in advance lol)
Also, just for clarification: UIFY = Until I Found You NFIF = No Fun in Fungus DvD = Donatello Von Draxum 'Phael = Raphael Jurogumo
Prev || Next || Illustration
Misa waddled along the corridors of the arena as she retraced her steps. She couldn't recall exactly where she'd left the portal sword, but she knew it was in the area... Her families were counting on her. Her older little brothers and sister April needed her help! And she was so excited to help them and prove Lee-Lee wrong about her being "just a little kid". She wasn't little! She was 4 years old! That was so grown up and big, she could do all sorts of things by herself... If she could only find her sword. She'd show him just how big she was!
Out of the blue, a familiar floating sensation took her and she watched with surprise as she was lifted up high into the rafters. Misa squealed with delight.
"Up, up!"
Waves smiled at her, returning her laughter with chirps and giggles of his own.
"Are you going to keep playing with your food, or what?"
Misa watched as a splash of pitch created another figure -- a version of Donatello but entirely grayscale -- formed in the rafters next to them.
Waves turned to look at his brother with a great big smile on his face, his eyes empty and black as he stared at Signal. He hissed a warning. Misa is off-limits.
"Fine. Just didn't see the point in wasting such a sweet little snack."
Waves hissed at him again before nuzzling his face into Misa's. She giggled with glee. These brothers didn't scare her. Waves might seem spooky, but deep down he was a silly little sweetheart and she adored him. Especially when he would pick her up and fly around with her.
"What exactly is the little Artemisia doing way out here all by herself?" Signal asked, leaning in close to her tiny face.
"Getting sword for my family!" she explained.
"Ah, weaponizing children now, are we? I think Static was handing out medieval swords and maces earlier..."
"Did somebody say 'best void brother'?" came a glitchy voice as another void brother appeared.
"It's like he's Beetlejuice or something..." Signal growled.
"I just thought the little lady might like this," Static stated smugly as he handed Misa her retrieved portal sword. He'd found it for her!
Misa cheered happily as she brandished the weapon, the blade glinting in the light and reflecting her image like a mirror.
"What's going on up here?" a fourth and final voice boomed. Radio slowly emerged from the shadows of the rafter corners. "Static, you're not giving minors weapons again, are you?"
"How did you even get up here?" Signal asked incredulously. "You're practically the size of a dump truck, how can you even fit in these rafters?"
"Call me that again and I'll flatten you like a dump truck."
"Just worried for the structural integrity of the building, is all..." Signal sassed back.
Radio rolled his eyes as he made his way over to the others, specifically Static, who still owed Radio an answer.
"I wasn't handing out weapons, I was retrieving it. It already belonged to her!"
Radio's eyes shifted from Static to Misa, who nodded her head as Waves shook his (he wanted to get Static in trouble as a joke).
"Why would a little thing like you need a sword?" he asked cautiously.
"Family needs help! Misa gets her sword for them!" she explained. "Bad spores!"
"Your family? You mean that band of misfits and the anxiety-riddled shroomie teens?"
Waves nodded for her. Misa didn't really understand what shroomie meant. Radio scratched his chin as he considered the situation. He knew that there was an outbreak of fear spores going on, and the two AU teams had been working to find and destroy them. It wasn't looking good thus far. Even Signal had gotten spored, and though he wouldn't admit it... they knew it wasn't a pleasant experience for him. Radio couldn't say he was an expert on mushrooms, but he knew a thing or two about invasive beings and decay. And if that fungus was as bad as everyone was making it out to be, then it could mean disaster for every AU in this place.
"...I don't suppose we could be of any help?"
Donatello howled with maniacal laughter.
His prisoners watched with fear as he ordered the vines to wrap around Michelangelo like ropes, tying his arms to his sides and keeping a very strong grip around his throat just in case anyone got any funny ideas. DvD was screaming bloody murder and promising every kind of painful demise if Audrey III didn't release his baby brother immediately. But he could see the tears in his eyes, he could hear the panic and utter fear.
Oh god, the fear was delicious. He wanted more...
Raphael struggled against the odd vines that had sprouted from Donnie's shell, as he brought him closer towards the room where Leo and the others were. The vines were an amalgamation creation -- partially machine, partially Dee's ninpo, and partially... Raph could only assume it was the mushroom. Had it been growing inside of his shell?? He desperately tried to free himself from the terrible growth. He managed to get one arm out --
"Oh-ho-ho-ho, what are we trying here?" the plant asked through Donnie, smirking down at Raph and commanding several other vines to take ahold of his arms and pull, stretching him out in every direction as he yelled in pained protests. "You didn't really think you could get out that easy, did you?"
Raph grunted and growled as he fought against the vines.
"Donnie!! SNAP OUTTA IT! I know you like to play the mad scientist sometimes, but this is TAKING IT TOO FAR!!"
"I'll tell him you said that," Audrey III smirked. "He's on sabbatical right now, but I'm sure the message can get through... eventually."
Raph screamed in anger as hot tears streaked down his face.
"But in the meantime, I think I'd like to taste your fear again..."
The door behind them opened, and out came a stream of blue fog, followed by the Hand.PNG, which crawled up the vines and onto Donnie's shoulder like a spider.
"Let's invite our dear friends to dinner, shall we?"
The vines began to drag Micheal and Raph into the room.
DvD began to screech like a monster, the muscles in his arms tensing and flexing against the vines and finally breaking their hold. He ran towards the wall, screaming in fury as he spun the tech-bō and leapt. They would not take his brother.
A spark of light ignited in his eyes.
It spread across his body.
The light burst like flame at the end of his staff.
All eyes watched him in shock as he shouted a war cry and slammed the tech-bō into the wall Dee had created earlier.
It shattered completely.
A shockwave burst from the impact and threw everyone back, dissolving the vines that held everyone.
Mikey's limp body fell.
DvD rushed to catch him. He almost made it when Donnie/Audrey III stepped in front of him and kicked him back with one of his mechanical arms. The battle-shell-clad ninja crawled up the side of the wall and grabbed the child before he could hit the ground. Mikey's head bobbed, and he groaned in discomfort at having been thrown around like a rag doll.
"You duplicitous little --! HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!" Audrey III spat angrily.
In all honesty, DvD had no idea what he'd just done or how he'd done it. All he knew was that he needed to protect Mikey at all costs. And then the wall broke. In his shocked stupor, he failed to get up in time and suddenly found a new vine wrapping around his neck like a boa constrictor and tightening like a noose.
Mikey's eyelids fluttered.
Donnie/Audrey III brought the alt. version of himself close to his face.
"YOU HAVE NO MAGIC, YOU YOURSELF TOLD HIM THAT! YOU LYING LITTLE --" Donnie's eyes peered into DvD's as he choked. "...Perhaps you are more interesting than you let on. Shall we see what else is in your silly little head, my dear anarchist?"
Donnie gasped for air, kicking and clawing at his captor as he tried to free himself. He... he was blacking out...
Mikey's eyes burst open.
He screamed as loudly as he could, his entire body erupting into gold and amber light, blinding the entire corridor.
A shrieking sound came from the dark room. The door slammed shut.
Donatello turned around in shock, as a torrent of chains burst from the boy, two for each vine he'd created.
Oh. Now we play.
He'd seen this from the boy before; he'd been rooting around in his mind and saw the memories from the last time. He knew the child was afraid of these powers, he couldn't control them very well. Especially the really strong spells like this. He knew how this scene played out. He just had to either wait him out to spend himself dry -- or let him do what the previous poor, sweet Michelangelo had done, and turn himself into a monster. Either would work...
Mikey held his hand out. A series of chains came and sliced the vine choking out his brother. DvD fell to the floor, quickly caught by the chains -- which also grabbed NFIF Raphael -- and carried them away to the others who watched in utter shock as the child landed on the ground and summoned his mystic nunchucks.
"Well, well, well... look who finally woke up."
Mikey's eyes were wide and glowed burning gold. He said nothing, his face empty, devoid of expression. Mikey was not at home anymore, he was controlled by his ninpo. He simply tilted his head in response to Audrey III's eggings.
"I wonder... you tried to save Donatello from my clutches earlier. Did you know then that your efforts would be in vain? Did you know that in your absence, you'd leave your brothers and sisters to face me alone?"
The two circled around one another, preparing to duel it out.
"I sensed your connection; you'd discovered the truth, hadn't you? You'd discovered this pathetic boy's treachery, how he'd joined my cause."
Mikey's face never faltered. His knuckles tightened around as his weapon.
"I suppose 'joined' was the wrong word to use. He really was weak and pathetic, you know. It was almost too easy to leech my way into his mind. I highly doubt his consciousness could have survived from my invasion. I do hope you said your goodbyes."
Michelangelo charged.
Donnie/Audrey III swirled the staff in front of himself, deflecting the impacts of the little child as he battled the fungus infected version of his brother.
Mikey's movements were graceful, practically a performance as he flowed back and forth, throwing his chains at the purple ninja turtle, whose movements in contrast were fierce and sharp and violent and purely angry.
"Did... did you know he could do that?" 'Phael asked shakily, turning to look at Leo.
Leo simply stared in silence, mouth agape with awe and shock of his baby brother.
"Leo, did you know he could do this??"
"I... I-I mean... sort of... I knew he could do magic... but not like this..."
Michelangelo danced around Donatello, waving his arms and creating ribbons of golden light as he filled the room with light.
Wait a minute, light...
"The light... the light!" NFIF Raphael shouted suddenly. "The light! It's how we defeated the spores the first time, using mystic light! It disintegrates them!"
"How poetic, the light drives away the fear," DvD muttered, still rubbing his neck from the constraining grip of the vines.
"If we can get the door open, we can flood the room with his light and free them all!"
"Okay, solid plan, great effort from everybody, just one slight hitch -- HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET AROUND THE MYSTIC BATTLE WHERE OUR BROTHERS ARE TRYING TO KILL EACH OTHER?!" Leo yelled.
"Raph's still comin' up with the plan!! Cut me some slack!"
"I can try to poof you guys to the door," April offered. "It won't be completely accurate, but I can get you close."
"That'll have to do," Raph nodded. "And whatever you do, avoid the hand and the spores!"
April grabbed hold of NFIF Raphael, squeezed her eyes shut, and then - poof! - landed the two right in the middle of the fight.
"AAGH! Sorry, sorry!" she screamed, ducking under Mikey's advance against Donnie, as Raph created an enormous ninpo arm and shielded the two of them from Dee's barrage of ninpo torpedoes.
"Get to the door!" Raph screamed, taking her by the hand and pulling her away as he created two more clones to help in the fight.
Mikey danced and ducked under the glowing purple missiles shot at him. He gripped his nunchuck tightly, whipped it towards one of the Raph clones. It wrapped around his arm, igniting in flames, then swung over Mikey's head like a lasso. He flung the fiery clone at Donnie, who just barely managed to dodge the flaming brother, which created a crater in the ground before him. The second clone came and tried to keep him from firing anymore missiles at UIFY Mikey.
"I'm surprised at you," Donnie huffed, trying to keep up with the two attackers. "Why would you want to fight against me? We're brothers!"
"We don't want to fight you," one clone growled. "But you're not in your right mind, so we'll have to do what we can."
"I'm sure you will," Donnie snarled, changing his bō staff into a spear and skewered the clone straight through. It disintegrated into red blocks and pixels. He turned to the second clone, creating the oh-so-famed drill, and firing at the poor duplicate.
Meanwhile, Raphael and April had made it to the door, April gripping the handle as she waited for Raphael's orders.
"Get ready," she panted, out of breath from dodging both sides of the attack. "Once this door opens, a flood of blue is gonna come out."
"I'll get you out, don't worry," Raph said with a nod.
"It's not me I'm worried about. Donnie said the Hamatos are full of senseless martyrs."
"He's... not wrong. But I promise that I won't sacrifice myself."
April nodded, hoping that he would keep that promise.
"Okay, then."
April threw the door open. As soon as she did, a torrent of blue smoke fumed out, engulfing both April and Raphael. April kept her eyes closed, waiting for the nightmares to start. But they never did. She opened her eyes and saw the world from inside a red glowing giant. Raph held onto her, arms spread around her in a safety hold, his hologram form shielding them from the spores.
Donnie/Audrey III felt a pain in the back of his mind. They turned and saw that the spores were leaking out of the room. Okay, now they were getting irritated.
"Why, you little...!"
In this moment of distraction, Michelangelo's chains wrapped around the softshell's waist and pulled him in. Mikey reached out and grabbed him by his neck, holding him just mere inches away from his expressionless face, eyes still burning like melted gold, no irises nor pupils. Donnie's wide, icy blue-tinted eyes contrasted them sickeningly. Donnie smiled.
"Go ahead," he said, voice smooth and calm. "Kill me."
Mikey blinked at him, but that was all. Audrey III continued.
"That was your plan all along, wasn't it? This ridiculous show of power, the fight? You were planning on finishing the job, weren't you?"
Mikey's fingers squeezed softly. A threat.
"What, are you afraid? Why? Shouldn't it be easy? Are you even in control of yourself? Why would you be afraid to squeeze the life out of someone who looks just like your brother, could actually be your brother?"
Mikey's hand let go, his arms shaking. A soft golden glow started to seep through the bandages.
"Ah, and it looks like you may be out of time."
Michelangelo looked down. Golden ichor dripped off of his fingertips. He pulled the bandages off, revealing the scars on his arms, which were glowing white hot, tiny cracks forming from their edges and shimmering, glittery ichor was bleeding from the reopened wounds. The price to pay for his powers.
Some Mikeys cracked.
He didn't.
Not again... n-not again...
Donatello/Audrey III dusted himself off as he watched Michelangelo slowly come to. With his ninpo overdrive giving way, his mind leisurely crept back into place; the golden glazed over his eyes melting as his irises came into focus and his pupils dilated. The ichor dripping down his forearms began turning a deep red, the glowing scars on his arms becoming irritated open wounds.
No, no! Mikey couldn't give up just yet, not when his family still needed him! But... he knew he'd used up almost all his precious energy... he... h-he... Mikey's breathing slowed, raggedy respiration as his hands shook and his knees wobbled beneath him. The room started to spin as black spots entered his vision. He managed to catch a glimpse of Donatello, swinging his staff with great force and slamming it into Mikey's chest with a hideous cracking sound.
Mikey was flung back several feet, dizzy and dazed and all the air knocked out of him. He vaguely registered multiple voices calling his name...
April screamed, NFIF Raphael screaming with her. April's teleportation powers activated without her realizing it, and she suddenly found herself by MIkey's side. Weak as he was, he had curled up into himself, clutching his stomach in pain and trying to catch his breath as he writhed on the floor. His brothers were also by her side in an instant, each one fretting over his injuries.
April looked up to see Donnie/Audrey III standing over them, the hand perched on his shoulder like a vulture.
Dee held out the severed arm, and gave it to the creature.
"Be whole again, dear disciple," he said with a smile, as the hand reattached itself to the limb, a flash of light combining the two together once again.
"That's gross," Leo grimaced. "Hey, DvD, you're a science experiment, can you do that?"
"No, but I can."
All eyes looked behind Donatello/Audrey III.
A black substance expanded and took form -- an adult version of Donatello, devoid of any colour whatsoever.
April cheered, whooping at his arrival. 'Phael screamed at a pitch that only dogs could hear. He was still convinced that these "Void Brothers" were the ones who'd sent him the ominous sticky note near the beginning of this entire adventure in the competition.
"So," Donnie/Audrey III said with a growl. "It looks like we have some more players in the game."
"Think you can keep up?" Signal asked, his form morphing into one of pure black, multiple arms expanding from his abdomen and several extra sets of teeth growing in his ever-widening mouth.
"The more the merrier," Donatello/Audrey III chuckled, letting the Hand.PNG crawl into his palm. "You know what to do," he whispered to it.
The hand instantly vanished, reappearing by the doorway behind Raphael, and scurrying into the room. A second later, blue chains shot out, slicing through Raphael's hologram.
"That's not good," he mumbled, forcing the hand to reach into the gargantuan stomach, pull him out, and fling him towards the others before the spores could seep through all the way.
Two figures emerged from the doorway, their movements somewhat sluggish. There were tiny mushrooms protruding from their skin. Their eyes glowed a neon blue, and their ninpo matched the shade.
Karai and Mikey.
"No..." Leo whispered, staring in horror. "Karai... what happened to her...?"
"Oh, Mikey," Raph whimpered. "Oh no, big man..."
"He's not gonna make us fight them, is he?" April asked nervously.
The two warriors charged.
"Yep. He is. He most definitely is. Shoulda seen this one coming, honestly. That's on me."
"Get outta here," Raphael ordered. "Me and... uh, these guys -" he said, gesturing to the four colourless adults that had already started combating against the swayed relatives, "- will keep them from following you."
"I thought you said you weren't gonna sacrifice yourself!" April yelled angrily.
"I know, and Raph is gonna keep his promise. But your little brother is hurt, he needs help now! I'm not gonna just hand myself over, I'm your cover. Now get going!"
April wanted to argue about it more, but before she could, she was taken by the wrist and pulled away. Waves was tugging her -- as well as the others -- off to a small clearing.
"Where do we go?!" 'Phael yelled, concerned that they had no real escape plan...
"Misa helps!" came a familiar voice. A sword slashed through the open air, and a bright portal opened in front of them...
...Donatello/Audrey III commanded a cloud of spores, hurtling them towards Radio.
"What are you, some kinda Avatar: the Last Airbender wannabe?" he joked as he dodged the cloud.
"I wonder why you would stand against me. Do we not fight for the same cause? Survival? We feed off of others, we only want to exist on our own terms... can you not see our similarities?"
"Nah, not really," Radio said, slamming his fist into the ground, only missing Donnie by half an inch.
"Such a shame. Then I suppose you must die."
"Happy to return the favour--"
"You can't hurt them!" Raphael shouted as he joined the fray.
"Whaddya mean, we can't? They're trying to hurt us!" Static shouted angrily, popping in and out of random spots, infuriating the heck out of mushroomed Mikey.
"They're not in control of their bodies, they're zombies! We hafta find a way to un-zombify them!"
"Well, no offense, but I don't think they share your mindset of 'no hurting the opponents'," Static sighed. "Besides, you're gonna have a hard time getting Signal to change his mind."
"Well, I'm gonna have to, those are my brothers and un-dead gram-gram from another dimension-- wait, where's Leo?!"
Raph looked around the corridor anxiously for the third zombie. He wasn't anywhere to be seen.
He must still be in the room. Raph darted among the others, rushing towards the dark room. There was still a huge cloud of blue smoke that surrounded the doorway, Raph couldn't go in without being infected. But he could see inside.
There was Leo, sitting up against the wall -- oh god.
Leo's body was half-engulfed in the biggest, scariest mushroom Raphael had ever seen. It's giant eye zeroed in on Raph. It... it looked too much like... his fingers traced over his own injured eye nervously. Why did it look so similar? Donnie had theorized that the fungus might've been kraang-related, but...
Leo. Focus on Leo.
He was there, being absorbed into the mushroom. He looked so pale and thin, like he was wasting away. Raph had to save him somehow, but --
"Enjoying the view?" Donnie/Audrey III asked, whacking Raph over the head with his staff as hard as he could. Raphael crumbled to the ground, clutching his skull and groaning in pain. Yeah, that was going to leave a mark... and a pretty nasty concussion, too...
While Raph was stunned on the floor, Donnie/Audrey III noticed the portal that had allowed for the Until I Found You group's escape. It was still open.
The hand appeared at Donnie/Audrey III's feet.
"This form has served its purpose," he said flatly. "I have what I need for now... But I require you to follow after them. Bring me back the scientist, I believe that he may be of some use to me. And even if not, he can't be left with them. He's too smart, he'll find some way to weaken me... I cannot leave it to chance. Bring him to me."
The Hand.PNG "nodded" at his master, then jumped away towards the portal.
Raphael struggled to keep his vision straight. He felt something wrap around his chest, tugging him backwards. He saw the Void Brothers driving the two zombified Hamatos back to the room... in Raphael's direction... the room...
Raph's head pounded louder than a drum. The ringing in his ears wouldn't stop. He knew April would have his head for giving in so easily... maybe she'd understand given the circumstances. He could barely hold his head up after that last hit... Donnie was a lot stronger than he looked.......
At least... he would be sleeping soon. At least he would be in good company. All the Hamato martyrs, together again. At least he was with Gram-Gram again.
At least he'd be with Leo, soon...
The door closed.
Leon recalled the feeling of portalling.
It was kind of like falling. Accidentally skipping a step down the stairs. An acidic scent that slightly burned the nostrils, a popping in the ears as you go from one altitude to the other in an instant and a half.
Leo hadn't done a lot of portalling, but he'd had his fair share of experiences with the activity. But he still wasn't used to the feeling yet. He stumbled through the bright blue splotch of light and tripped on his way out, finding himself in a brand new corridor. The others followed soon after, clambering out one by one and almost stepping on top of each other.
"Where... where are we?"
"Who cares! We have to go back!" April shouted. "Raph still needs us!"
"What exactly are we supposed to do? Go in, guns blazing? With what guns??" Leo yelled anxiously, waving his arms around to gesture to the obvious lack of firearms.
"P-Prilly's right, w-we haf-hafta... go... back..."
Mikey whined loudly, trying to push himself away from Donnie. The effort hurt his injured arms, which were still bleeding profusely.
"Micheal, hold still--"
"N-no, they need us, Donnie... th-they need us... they need..."
Mikey slipped out of his grip and fell to his knees, shakily trying to get back up.
"Michael, you're in no condition to be going into a battle like that!"
"Mikey all red," Misa whimpered. "Mikey's not s'posed to be so red..."
"No, he's not," Leo growled. "Dude, just sit this one out --"
"No!" Mikey sobbed. "I can't sit back and watch as the people I love and care about get hurt!"
"WHY DO YOU THINK WE WANT YOU TO STAY PUT?!" Leo shouted angrily. "I am NOT having you get hurt like that again! Donnie, take Mikey and go find him some first aid," Leo ordered.
Donnie nodded, picking up the angry box turtle and carrying him into a side hall that lead to one of the many lounge areas. "Raph, April and I will come up with a plan."
"What Misa do?" the littlest turtle mutant asked.
"...You have a very important job to do," Leo announced. "You got those ghosty guys to come and help fight... We're gonna need all the help we can get. Misa, you're the recruiter. Go find as many people as you can and get them to come. Tell them how important it is, okay? This is a big responsibility."
Misa's face lit up.
Lee-Lee trusted her! He knew she was responsible! Misa saluted him with a determined smile and nodded.
"Misa get all the families! Everybody comes!"
"Exactly, Misa. Everybody comes."
"So what, we're just gonna pull an Avengers Endgame on the shrooms? We need more of a strategy than that!" April groaned.
"What the heck is an Avengers Endgame?" Leo asked.
"It's a human reference for a movie. Basically it just means that everybody bands together against the bad guy for an epic finale," 'Phael explained.
"Then why not say that? It makes much more sense than 'Avengers Endgame' -- and how did you know what that meant??"
"I do live with humans, in a human hotel, y'know," 'Phael said, rolling his eyes. "I've seen human movies."
"Okay, well, the majority of our family has not, so maybe--"
"Can we get back to the matter at hand?!" April exclaimed loudly.
"Hand?" Misa asked, eyeing something behind them.
"She means the important stuff," Leo explained.
"Hand!" she yelled.
"Yes, yes, we're trying to get back to the matter at--"
"No, hand!" Misa pointed.
The group turned around to see the blurry trail of a small appendage rushing into the hall after DvD and Mikey.
"I don't just want to sit a-a-and do nothing," Mikey pouted, still shaking in DvD's arms.
"I understand that, you know I do," DvD sighed. "And you also know why I am requiring you to rest. You recall what happened the last time--"
"I know, I know, don't remind me. I was bedridden for days..."
"And yet you wonder why we won't let you go fighting."
Mikey grumbled and turned away from DvD. He was so mad, he could spit venom. He knew they were right, of course they were right. But that didn't make it any easier; in fact it made it worse. Because Mikey knew he was right, too! At least, half-right. He knew that they should go back and help. But he knew he couldn't do much, not with all his energy spent and his arms in the state they were now. They stung like mad, he could barely move them. Donnie had removed what was left of the bandages, doing his best not to gag at the sight and keeping his hands as still as possible, despite his aversion to the blood.
Mikey shouldn't feel guilty for this, right?
It wasn't his fault, right? It was just... how his mystic powers were. He couldn't help the way his body worked, just as much as he couldn't help when his hypoglycemia acted up. It wasn't his fault that he was the way he was... it wasn't a bad thing, right? Being Mikey? Being sensitive to others and sensitive to himself, having some few medical issues and mystic setbacks... that wasn't necessarily a terrible thing, right? Right...?
Mikey turned away so DvD couldn't see him crying. He didn't want him to think he was any more immature or any weaker than he undoubtedly did already. Than they all did. Leo had been taking care of him and his ailments since he was a baby. And Raph was holding on to that one special secret of his... and Donnie had cleaned up the blood and gone to get some more gauze and anti-bacterial supplies for Mikey's wounds. Mikey sighed and wished he wasn't so pathetic. He wished he was stronger, smarter, better. Anyone but himself. The only thing he was good for was his stupid useless mystic powers, and they always did more harm than good, especially self-harm. Mikey hated them. He hated himself--
NO, no, don't think like that! That wasn't kind, that wasn't fair! Mikey didn't actually hate himself at all, he was just mad. He needed to let it go. He needed to sit back and breathe...
Mikey leaned back, exhaled slowly, inhaled deeply.
And he saw it.
Crawling like a cockroach on the wall and up the ceiling.
With something blue in its grip.
"DEE, LOOK OUT!!"
The Hand.PNG shot the spores at Donatello Von Draxum.
Mikey jumped.
He had no time to do anything else.
He had no energy to summon mystic chains or make a spell or do anything clever like that.
He just jumped. Dove, really. Dove straight for his brother, in a desperate attempt to push him out of the way, move him aside, get him to safety!
The spores hit him.
"MIKEY?! MIKEY!!!"
Donnie grabbed his brother, holding him close, ignoring the hand as it disappeared into the shadows to watch the scene play out...
"Mikey, look at me, focus on me, okay? You can get through this, alright!? Just concentrate on my voice..."
Mikey nodded furiously, trying to listen to DvD. But there was a ringing starting, his head felt light and dizzy, the room began to spin and get darker. DvD was fading from vision...
NO! Stay, with me, Donnie, please! Donnie?! DONNIE!!
Donnie started shouting, someone was taking him away! Mikey tried to get up, go after him -- his leg caught on something. His arms, too! He looked down and saw titanium shackles, imprisoning him to a cold metal table.
A light shone in his vision. He squinted at the blinding brightness, wishing he could have a hand free to guard his eyes. Something stood in front of the light, casting a shadow over him.
"Well, well, well... if this isn't a surprise? Back again for more, are we?"
Mikey couldn't breathe.
It... it was him. It was him.
Baron Draxum.
"No... no... no --"
"I think we need to run a few more tests on our little friend here, don't you, Donatello?"
Draxum stepped aside and showed Mikey a view of DvD, chained by the wrists and gagged at the mouth. He was screaming at Mikey, trying to warn him, pleading with him to get out of here!
Mikey screamed back at him, begging wordlessly for Draxum to let him go, please, please!!
Instead, Draxum had one of his vines whip across the room and beat his son across the face. Mikey screamed, sobbing and wailing.
"STOP! NO!"
"He always was such a pathetic disappointment." Draxum turned to the other imprisoned turtle. "Perhaps you will show some promise."
No... n-no, this wasn't how it happened! Donnie w-wasn't -- he was never -- a-and Mikey wasn't awake for any of it, he was asleep for the entire thing! He shouldn't be awake now, he shouldn't be, he shouldn't -- H-he... no, no, no, no no no no nonononononononono!!
Draxum came forward with a needle and scalpel.
"Let's begin."
DvD couldn't stop crying, he just couldn't keep the tears from coming. Mikey was sitting on the floor, screeching his poor little head off, eyes wider than saucers and filled to the brim with fear. He couldn't move much, apart from shaking nonstop. He looked like he was constantly trying to wriggle away from something, but for some odd reason his wrists and ankles were invisibly anchored to the floor. Mikey's limbs twitched as he squirmed and struggled, screaming and begging for whatever he was witnessing to stop, please, please please please stop--
"WHERE IS IT, WHERE THE HECK IS THAT HAND, WHO'S SCREAMING, WHAT'S HAPPENING--?!"
Leon and the others rushed into the room, quickly inspecting the situation and coming upon the obvious conclusion.
"April, take Misa outside..." Leo said after inspecting the scene.
"Misa want to stay with Mikey--!" the little girl protested, but April quickly scooped her up and carried her off.
Leon and 'Phael immediately dropped to Mikey's side, Leo taking the box turtle's hand in his and trying to get him to wake up.
"Dee... fear spores, right?"
"...Yeah..."
"The hand."
"Yes."
"What... what is he seeing?" 'Phael asked nervously, eyes watering at the sight of his baby brother in so much pain.
"I... there's only one thing that could scare him this bad..."
"Draxum?" Leo whimpered.
DvD nodded.
"But... h-he doesn't remember anything from that, you said he was under heavy sedatives for the entire time!"
"He was! Draxum kept him under constant anesthetics -- perhaps his mind is creating an idea of what he thinks happened?"
Raphael started fidgeting with his hands.
"U-um... actually..."
The two boys looked up at him.
"'Phael? What... what is it?"
"...He told me not to tell ya..."
"Tell us what?" Leo questioned.
"H-he made me promise--"
"Raph," DvD said, his voice begging him in ways that words could not. "Please."
"He... he does remember. He does remember what happened in the labs."
Donnie and Leo stared. Mikey continued to sob and scream.
"...What... how... how could he know that... and how do you know that he knows?!" Leo asked, voice raising with each word.
"And why wouldn't he tell us?!" DvD asked in disbelief.
Raph swallowed nervously, a sweat breaking out across the worry lines on his brow.
"He... it started sometime after Karai arrived. H-he thought that m-might do with the mystic training she did with him -- but he started having... nightmares..."
"Nightmares?"
"He said he started dreaming memories about it. It was an out-of-body sorta thing, he said. Like he was watching from the outside... He could never get away from the visions, he said -- but every night, he saw a new one."
"And he... came to you about it? Why not ME?!" Leo yelled, tears rolling down his cheeks. "Or Donnie?! Why not tell us?! We're ALL his brothers!!"
"He told me... he said he didn't wanna burden you."
"...Burden?" Donnie whimpered. "...How?"
Raphael looked back and forth between them all. His eyes fell on Leon.
"...He told me he didn't want you to feel... responsible for another thing," Raph mumbled. "He said he felt bad enough about everything he's made you worry over already, he didn't want you to..."
"...He didn't want me to know...? Because... he felt guilty?" Leo wept, tears pooling and spilling from his eyes. "That... I don't... he shouldn't have felt that way, why did he..."
Leo's eyes glossed over, he squeezed them shut, clutching Mikey's tiny fist and pressing it against his chest.
"How could I make him feel like that...?" he wept. "I never meant... I never knew..."
"But... why not tell me? I could have helped," Donnie said in-between uneven breaths. "I already knew what had happened!"
"That's... actually why he didn't come to you, Don," 'Phael explained. "He s-said, he said he didn't want to hurt you. He saw how much you were struggling and wanted to wait until you were... doing better about the whole ordeal. To be honest, I agreed with him on that mark."
"But why did he tell you?" Leo asked. "Why only you, and not us?"
"I s'pose... because he knew that I knew what it was like to be afraid all the time," 'Phael sobbed. "He knew that I wouldn't judge him for his fears. He couldn't sleep at night anymore, he needed someone to stay with him and help him through his fits... But I told him! I told him to tell you both! I told him you should know!" he cried, whimpering nervously as he wrung his hands and rocked back and forth.
"Raph! Raph, it's okay..." Leo tried to reassure him. "I mean... it's not completely okay... I wish he'd told me, but... that doesn't matter now."
Leo held Raphael close.
"We just... we need to be here for him now... How much does he know?"
"...Everything."
"...This isn't going to be easy for him," Donnie exhaled.
"Or us," Leon added.
The trio gathered close to Michelangelo, each laying their hands on him, a sign that they were there and they were offering comfort in the only way they could.
Mikey kept screaming, he couldn't stop screaming. No matter what his brothers tried, they couldn't snap him out of whatever horrors he was experiencing. They just kneeled beside him, holding his hands and hoping their support made some leeway.
But Mikey just kept screaming, shrieking, crying, weeping, wailing, sobbing. He howled until his throat ran dry and his voiced cracked and went hoarse. He wept until his eyes were red and irritated and his cheeks were stained with saltwater and starting to chafe and the area around his eyes went puffy and soft. And on he went. For what seemed like hours, days, years, centuries even -- but was probably only 15 minutes. Mikey was stuck in a loop of fits and fear.
And then finally, he slowed. His breathing calmed, his sobs turning to hiccups and suck-ups and hyperventilation, as his eyes darted around, looking for something familiar.
"Is... is it over?" Leo asked, internally begging for it to be so.
Donatello was heaving along with Mikey, his cheeks also stained with tears.
"I... I think--"
"D-Donnie?" Mikey whispered shakily.
"Mikey? I'm right here, I'm --"
"No... no, not Donnie, please, I--"
"Is, is he --?"
"He's not done with the hallucination yet," Donnie realised. "It's about to get so much worse."
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!" Mikey screamed, bolting forwards. His legs tangled underneath him, causing him to trip over himself. His arms were strained behind him, his ankles struggling against the ground, as if something was still holding him back.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING TO HIM, WHAT IS HE SEEING DON?!" Leo screamed.
"Me," Donnie whimpered, holding back desperate sobs. "He's seeing what Draxum did to me. On the last day. When we fought...."
Mikey shrieked in agony, his eyes somehow producing twice as many tears as they had before in this one moment, pouring out for his brother's sake.
Mikey's screams were cut short, he gasped in horror. They all could assume what he'd seen. Draxum had killed Donnie in his hallucinations. Mikey went horribly pale. His eyes widened.
"No... no... no, no, no, get away get--!"
Mikey jerked suddenly. His body seized up, his eyes went wide, and then --
He fell backwards.
Back into the hold of his brothers, who caught him almost immediately.
"MIKEY!!"
Mikey didn't hear them, he simply lay in their arms.
Mikey stopped shaking. His limbs had gone slack. His body went limp. His eyes went somewhere far away from them all.
Mikey exhaled.
And he didn't inhale.
"...Mikey...?"
He didn't respond.
"What... what just happened?" Raph asked nervously.
"He didn't... he didn't just..." Leo begged, slowly placing his fingers against his neck. He paused. He tried the wrist next. He couldn't find any pulse.
"He didn't just leave us, did he?"
"...Michael...?"
Leo pounded his fist against the ground.
He wasn't going to give up his baby brother.
Leo placed his hands across Mikey's chest, applied pressure.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
"Come on, Mikey, come on...!"
1, 2, 3 ,4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
"Come ON, Mikey, COME ON! I'm not letting you go!"
DvD was crying, holding himself tight as tears soaked into his shirt and vest.
"Leo, stop... Leo, he... he..."
"Leon, mate, please, he--" 'Phael reached for him, attempting to comfort.
"COME ON!" Leo shouted, refusing to give up.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3--
"WAKE UP!!" he sobbed.
Mikey gasped for air.
His eyes blinked wildly as he bolted upright, limbs flailing about in a mad panic. Three bodies pounced upon him, wrapping themselves around him and sobbing into him. Mikey said nothing. He simply looked around in confusion, getting his bearings and perfividly coming back to reality. He listened, but couldn't hear them. Everything was numb and strange, every sound and image baffled him. All he knew was he hadn't been here anymore. But he was here again, now. Here with his brothers.
... I did not intend for this ...
Yes, I intended to send the spores.
And yes, I intended to have them sent after Donatello.
I even intended for them to miss him entirely, for Michelangelo to rush in his place and take the hit for him.
But I never intended this.
Michelangelo was meant to see a different fear entirely.
Michelangelo is afraid of being the frailest, the smallest, the weakest of the brood. Dear little Mikey is afraid that he has nothing of importance to offer. He is always relying on the others to help him, to save him. He has nothing to offer them in return. Mikey tries to do what he can, but deep down he is afraid that one of these days, his brothers will discover that HE needs THEM far more than they could ever need him.
Truly, THAT was what he was meant to see. I had no idea he would see... all that.
They told me no one would get hurt. They told me no one would die. They promised me. And they lied.
It was a good game while it lasted. But I'm not having fun with it anymore.
No one was meant to be hurt like this.
No one was meant to die.
I suppose this means I'll have to do what I can to fix things, now.
"L-Leo," croaked Mikey, who slowly raised his hand and pointed a trembling finger. "Hand…"
“What... what are you saying, Mike?"
“Hand,” Mikey clarified, stressing his wobbly finger as he gestured behind them.
The boys followed Mikey's direction.
The Hand.PNG was crawling towards them.
"G-Get it away from Mikey!" Leo screamed, kicking his feet in the creature's direction.
"Don't let it come any closer!"
"WHERE'S MY TECH-BŌ?!"
"Please, if you could simply pause for a moment, I'd like to make you an offer."
Everything stopped.
Leo, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey froze, jaws dropping to the floor as they heard the hand speak at them.
"You... y-you can talk?" Mikey's voice came out grated and raspy.
"Yes."
"What... why are you just deciding to speak now?" Raphael asked.
"And why have you been tormenting us all?!" Donnie bellowed, gripping his tech-bō tightly as possible.
"And what did you mean, you wanted to make an offer?" Leon interrupted. "An offer for what?"
"I was wondering if I could offer you my services. How would you like to rescue your family and destroy the fear fungus?”

hey @chiscribbs our AUs are in the prelims for @tmntaucompetition together!
Donnie is way more excited for an alt brother with an alt same-dad than whatever alt her has going on. He doesn't have the same Draxum as her so he dodged Donnie being envious/mean for no reason.
Desc under readmore
Two part comic
Image 1: Catch You Donnie and Muninn from behind. Muninn is a raven wearing a flower crown on Donnie's shoulder. All that's visible of Donnie is about half of their face. They are wearing a mask, their headphones (with their panel attachments in the default position). Part of an earring and one of their cheek scars if visible.
Donnie is saying "ok, Muninn. Grown Apart AU. The rat raised Mikey & Lee, then I was raised by ... Big Mama??? And Raph was raised by-"
Image 2: grown apart Raph from straight ahead looking down and to his left at catch you Donnie. Raph has a scar on one cheek and a chipped/scratched plastron. He is wearing a name tag on one shoulder, a helmet, and a belt. Donnie is beaming at him. They are wearing a saree and the three scars on their shell and jaw are visible.
Donnie is saying "Hi! Hello!! We have the same அப்பா! Are you desi, too? Can we be friends? Does your Appā love you? Mine loves me, he's nice and tells me about everything and-"
Note: அப்பா is Appā which means father in Tamil. Draxum is Tamilar in this AU.

Can you tell me more about your snapper AU
It's an au of an au of an au. It's teb @debb987 au with nini (their version of ghost @amevello-blue ) but also an au coz i made lou an alligator snapper. It's basically a fix it fic with all the bells and whistles. Lou just eats whoever tries to hurt them. Kraang? Tum tum-ed. Draxum? Tum tum-ed. Big mama? Tum tum-ed. Foot clan? Tum tum-ed (dw about cassey she gets adopted by 03 casey and april)
The babies have mystic powers hence angelo floating. The silly idea is angelo stayed tiny coz all the food and energy goes to his mystic powers. And coz tiny angelo with his kaiju family will never not be funny to me.
All the babies have their ninpo. Raph has his shield. Dee can create weapons once he learns their construction. Lee can teleport (kinda on will) when he is gassy :D. That's actually how they yoinked nini's family. (Im not lying when i said it was a fix-it fic) but that's a story for another time
Tumblr media
Lou is basically a mobile home. That's why they dont need to leave anything and raph can have all the plushies he deserves. Dee gets to pull apart and pick thru all the break appliances they find. Lee gets all the books he can read thru his heart's desires (also how he can speak so many languages). Angelo gets to have all the cooking books and they even found a old easy bake oven for him to play with!
Oh and lou is ftm trans. I dont make the rules. And he is himbo af. The true himbo the trifecta of dumb of ass, body of steel, and heart of gold. He doesnt know what he is doing most of the time. But he will try his best. And nini is there to help explain anything. They also yoinked the teleporting sword so they're just living everywhere. But the idea is they found a mystic area where they'll be unbothered and are settled happily (coz that's really my goal with this au. Them all to be happy)
Lou is basically is that one vers from love like you
If I could begin to be Half of what you think of me I could do about anything I could even learn how to love
Lou is just a simple guy. He just wants his newly found family safe and happy and will do anything to make sure they are safe and very loved. He is a sad old man that hates himself, but he very much puts his family first and learns to love himself thru kids showing him how much they love him.
Tumblr media
This actually how they found nini. Lou just thought he accidentally dropped one of the kids and shell pocketed nini (hence me jokingly calling this au nini in the shell pocket)
And the on going joke of lou just adopting all the turtle babies he finds

Bro can y'all imagine if 12 Leo got turned into a little kid?
Like they're already in a rather stressful situation as is. Having the Rise gang with them and the craziness of mystics and yokai, it's just a big mess. And it gets even bigger when the 12 boys and Rise boys are fighting some magical yokai one night, and one of them goes to aim at one of the boys and 12 Leo in typical mom fashion doesn't hesitate to throw himself in front of the attack taking the blunt of it. It's a bright poof of light and sparks and 12 Raph, 12 Donnie and 12 Mikey are freaking the fuck out because holy shit their big brother just got hit. The dust settles and standing or rather sitting in the same spot that the eldest Hamato was a small turtle tot with big blue eyes full of confusion and slight nervousness. The group goes dead silent before chaos erupts and it's during this that the yokai ends up slipping away.
Leaving the two groups of turtles with a deaged 12 Leo.
They have no choice but to take him home, where Rise Splinter and Draxum take one look at 12 Leo and are instantly shooting questions at the boys, trying to figure out everything they can to try and fix this mess. Till then the 12 gang and Rise gang become babysitters to 12 Leo because they can't exactly just let the toddler wander all by himself. They're basically like:
"It'll be okay, this is Lee after all! This should be a pretty easy mission to accomplish till we can change him back to normal! It'll be a breeze cuz he's such a calm and pleasant turtle!"
Only they're wrong.
Turtle tot 12 Leo is a fucking menace surprisingly. He gets into things he's not supposed to be in, runs around with a knife at several points, is hella mischievous and sneaky and pulls little pranks on unsuspecting residents in the lair (he's claimed 12 Raph and Rise Donnie as his main go to's to reek havoc upon cuz they give the best reactions). They also discovered a habit turtle tot 12 Leo had back when he was little in the form of Rise Raph receiving it and letting out a pained yelp.
Turns out 12 Leo is a bitter.
And he bites hard.
It's basically chaos. The only ones who are able to somewhat keep up with the mischievous leader is Rise Leo, Rise Mikey and 12 Mikey because they're just as chaotic as 12 Leo is. 12 Leo also behaves around Rise Splinter and Draxum as well as 12 April and Rise April. 12 Casey and Rise Cassandra on the other hand encourage his bad behavior. 12 Donnie is desperately trying to help Rise Donnie and Draxum figure out how to fix this disaster. Finally it gets to the point where they realize that they're going to have to hunt down the one who caused this situation to happen. There's just one problem.
They don't have anyone to watch him.
So Rise Leo ends up coming up with a solution, though how well it'll work out is a mystery to him and his brothers. So Rise Leo trudging 12 Leo along with him with Rise Raph hovering nearby like a mother hen and 12 Raph being completely unsure about the situation, with their little brothers eyeing the entire scene, goes to the place of his only hope.
When Senor Hueso opens the door he's far from amused.
The skeleton yokai at first thinks it's one of Rise Leo's attempts at a joke but as the red eared slider explains the situation he just gets more and more exhausted hearing it. At first he tells him no, going along the lines of:
"Can't your padre do it for you?"
Only to be met with:
"Dad said that while he loves Lee too death he's really not in the best shape to watch a hyper active toddler."
And they continue this little back and forth till Senor Hueso finally gives in with an exasperated groan and finally takes 12 Leo, becoming a babysitter while the group goes out to find the yokai who caused this. Once they're alone the skeleton yokai at first is somewhat indifferent about it, keeping a close eye socket on 12 Leo, who's a bit quiet and hesitant around the skeleton. However as time passes Senor Hueso starts to notice just how mischievous this little blue turtle tot is and notices how he's a lover of silly jokes and puns. It reminds him a lot of Rise Leo who's constantly going on and on with his ramblings and quips, only in toddler speak now.
Before he realizes it he's interacting with 12 Leo, going along with his trouble making mischief around his home and pizzeria. Senor Hueso and 12 Leo soon are joined at the hip, the skeleton yokai giving him dry little quips such as:
"Does my femur taste delicious little togua?"
And 12 Leo who's bitting his arm in a somewhat gnawing way goes:
"Too dry."
And Senor Hueso just let's out this little amused rattling laugh at the boy's blunt answer. The older man would end up making him a pizza filling a bit prideful when the turtle tot takes a bite and his eyes grow wide in a sparkling childish delight. Time passes by quickly and soon the 12 boys and Rise boys are back at Senor Hueso's place to pick up 12 Leo, empty handed and thanking him for watching the little blue turtle. The skeleton yokai just shrugs it off and goes:
"It wasn't too bad. I wouldn't mind watching the little nino again should it be necessary."
And once that's out there Senor Hueso basically becomes the second babysitter to 12 Leo till he's back to normal. Just a tired bone dry humorous skeleton yokai with a ball of energy tiny turtle tot.
When everything's said and done 12 Leo back to normal would thank Senor Hueso in his embarrassed awkward way and Rise Leo would tease the skeleton yokai mercilessly for being basically a babysitter to the eldest Hamato child. Senor Hueso will just give his friend unamused looks and shot back with his own quips in relation to his teasing.
And if Senor Hueso ends up making 12 Leo's favorite pizza whenever he stops by, well that's for the skeleton yokai to know.

In your weary and wild au has there been any attempts at saving Leo?
there were three!!
Tumblr media
attempt number one resulted in Lee, which confused everyone (Lee feels immensenly guilty about that and Donnie hates him for it. Raph made ammends after a few days and Mikey speed ran Lee's apology at any % the second they got back to the lair so he could ask questions about his badass mystic warrior self)
Tumblr media
attempt numero dos didn't result in anything. Mikey at that point had been studying the mystic arts for three months and tried opening a portal on his own. it, obviously, didn't work
Tumblr media
attempt number trois was the successful one, although neither Raph, Mikey or Donnie knew that. Mikey had the idea of using empyrean as an amplifier since that's what Draxum used to mutate them, and since no one else had any more ideas to work off, that's what they went for
Four popped out of the other side, confused, scared and ready to fucking freak because what the fuck?? he got a small glimpse of the portal he came out of and the three small figures in front of it, but ran off before they could notice him

Which ROTTMNT characters you would date?
I'll be describing the characters from Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that you would want to date. Leave your answer in the comments.
Tumblr media
Raphael
Raphael is the oldest of the turtle brothers (unlike his other counterparts), he is the leader of the TMNT, instead of Leonardo. He has a large muscular body that you can't help but feel attracted to him. He is exuberant (otherwise cheerful) and passionate, though he can impulsive, not rationalizing before making a decision.
Raph has a soft side, he's tender and kind. He'll always protect the people he loves and comforts them.
Tumblr media
Leonardo
Though Leo made be frustrating to deal with, he's arrogant, wanting to prove himself he's the best, doesn't take things seriously and puts full faith in himself instead of others. But, when you get to know him better, you'll see that under the surface he's really just insecure and just wants to be accepted by others, wants to be more than "the face man". You can find him relatable that you want be accepted by others and be more than what you are. Leo would see the error of his ways and would willing to make it up for it.
There are times when he decides to be serious and sensible, he would use his charisma and relaxed, flexible nature to sway to you when you're down on your luck.
If you like a person who is flamboyant, Leo would be your type.
Tumblr media
Dontatello
If you have a thing for nerds or geniuses, Donnie's your man. He has high intellect and skills on technology and general sciences. If, there's something technology you really want, Donnie would be the one to build it for you. He can be annoying when he brags about his high intelligence, he will describe his latest inventions at length, not realizing he maybe boring the others.
Donnie has a fear of being nothing without his brains and tech, but you'll be the one to encourage him that it's him who's important to you, not his tech.
Donnie is autistic (confirmed by the creator) as he struggles to understand certain basic human emotions and emotional outbursts, which you can relate to him how difficult it can be when you have a disability.
But, his emotional experiences are very different from the average person. Donnie can be a terrible liar, as you can easily tell by his expression and the tone of his voice.
Donnie has a passive-aggressive streak that takes people off-guard. You can be his lab partner, but his workshop is personally off-limits.
Tumblr media
Michelangelo
If you like someone who is playful and lighthearted, Mikey is your guy. He is intuitive, able to adopt new skills quickly, determine others' problems, and at times accurately predict situational outcomes.
Mikey is creative at heart and he uses his creativity in various ways. He is family-oriented and compassionate, Mikey is openly sentimental and encourages others' emotional vulnerability.
Mikey has three personas he created: Doctor Delicate Touch, Doctor Feelings, and Doctor Positive. To deliver a harsh truth in his "Doctor Delicate Touch" method, Mikey often starts off being sweet, but quickly becomes angry and frank. Doctor Feelings uses his emotional intelligence to advise others, and Mikey faces issues with determined optimism as Doctor Positive.
Mikey never gives up and puts faith in himself and others.
Tumblr media
Hamato Yoshi/Splinter
It would be surprising why would anyone want to date Splinter? Considering the fact that he's absent-minded, lazy, stir up mischief and trouble with his sons, but don't let his appearance fool you.
Tumblr media
Back in his younger years, before his mutation. He was movie star as Lou Jitsu, he was famous all over even Foot Lieutenant and Foot Brute are fans of him despite being unaware that he's a member of the Hamato clan. He is also the Battle Nexus champion in Hidden City.
His appearance is mixed of Elvis Presley and Bruce Lee, that would make fawn all over him.
He is a very skilled martial artist that no human or creature can beat him, which give Baron Draxum the idea to infuse his DNA with the mutagen on the turtles. Yoshi did vowed to put his fighting aside, he's not afraid to fight in order to escape Draxum's lab with the turtles.
After, he got mutated, he choose to raise the turtles he rescued as his sons. Splinter maybe extremely flawed and doesn't spend much time in family outings, but he deeply cares for his sons.
Long ago before he ever became Lou Jitsu. When he was a young child in Japan, he listens the story of the Shredder from his grandfather Hamato Sho. Then on the spring day, his mother, Hamato Atsuko left her father and son so that she could perform her clan duty, which devasted Yoshi.
For many years, his grief over his mother leaving him made him bitter towards his own clan, disbelieving the existence of the Shredder, and decided to abandon his family duties.
You can feel bad for him, knowing what it's like to lose someone you're close to and with a reason to resent your clan or family.
Splinter may not be the young charming man that he was in the past, but he is full of surprises.
"Age has its privileges"
Tumblr media
Baron Draxum
If you're interested in dating a villain, Draxum is the one. This Yōkai looks very amazing in his mask and bodysuit, and even has his minions: Huginn and Muninn lay on his shoulders acting like shoulder pads.
Although, he does desire to take over Earth's surface by mutating all the humans for his mutant army. But, you cannot deny his skills in combat and alchemy, even his powers, he can grow vines out of nowhere, he can create portals, and made gauntlets out of plant-like substances. If you have a taste for theatrics, Draxum is the one, he does his speeches in a dark manner and overall dramatic posing.
He may resent towards humans, and is responsible for Splinter and the turtles' mutation years ago, but he would become more sympathetic to the humans when he developed a friendship with April O'Neil.
When he was reformed, he can be hard to open up, so you have to take with him slowly.
Tumblr media
April O'Neil
If you're looking for someone who is adventurous? April O'Neil is your girl.
She is upbeat, quick-witted, selfless, and go-with-the-flow, she is very brave and is quick to jump into action, she is not afraid to put up fight on anyone: human, mutant, creature, or animatronic.
She has a forgiving nature, she's very loyal to her friends and family, and she'll always be by their side.
Tumblr media
Cassandra Jones
Cassandra Jones or Casey Jones may be a tough one to date with, she can be intense, do frantic speech pattern, and the tendency to shout.
But, when you get to know her better, you'll get use to her behavior.
Tumblr media
Sunita
She made be a slimy Yōkai, but Sunita is enthusiastic, fun-loving, and feisty, embracing herself as a Yōkai in everyday life. She enjoys trying out new things and is open to experiencing all the sights and activities New York City has to offer. Sunita isn't afraid to fight and defend others.

So True Colors AU: The turtles are separated during the explosion in Draxum’s lab. Lou managed to escape with 2 turtles, Donnie and Raph. He raised them together until one day Donnie got separated and was found by the Foot Clan where he rose in rank to Foot Captain. Meanwhile Draxum was left with 2 turtles, Mikey and Leo. One day Big Mama barged in and demanded “justice” for her missing champion and left with a compensation in the form of baby Leo. Mikey was raised by Draxum and the goyles and unlocked his mystic powers early, while Lee was raised by hotel staff and later Big Mama.
One day they found out they had brothers and someone (Raph) went hey I want my family back so he tries to do just that
TLDR: separated au with Raph raised by Splinter, Donnie raised by Foot Clan, Lee raised by Big Mama, and Mikey raised by Draxum
