Chapter Text
“Today is not my day” Said a teen panting as he ran three fingered green hand slamming down on the circle shaped panic button covered up by a black wrappings looking arm cover. “Please get here soon.” The teen looked back, but despite being running the person behind him was calmly walking.
He grabbed one of the swords on his back and swung it down. A blue portal opening as he did, in which he went though it. The portal closing shortly after. He’d teleported several miles ahead surely-
“I must say that was quite rude.” A voice said. Whipping around the tails of his blue mask were flung about. The deceptively human looking thing just grinned, fangs on display. He gave a swing of the sword and the thing simply stepped back to dodge it. Sweat rolled down the side of his face.
Then with no time to even blink a hand was on his thought, his swords clattered to the ground. hands trying to pull the clawed one off as breathing became harder. “Now little one, while I usually adore a good game of cat and mouse, I’m on a bit of a schedule so to speak, so lets make this quick.”
His hands were then pinned above his head and the one that had been on this neck gripped his head instead, pulling it to the side. The teen kicked and twisted trying to get out of the death grip. Sharp fangs plugged into his neck tearing a scream out of him.
“LEO”
With a gasp the red eared slider lurched up from his bed, breath labored. He looked at his hands. They’d look almost the same as in his dream save for the claws and his pajamas. He groaned into them, whipping away the blood red tears that had formed in his eyes. Leo looked at the clock in his room and had to stop himself from slamming his hand on a wall. It was far to early to be awake but he knew he wouldn’t be getting back to sleep.
“Guess this morning is earlier than most.” A tired sigh escaped from his mouth as he got out of bed. He left the subway car that made up his room and looked around the silent abandoned subway station. He felt a pang in his chest before he went to the bathroom.
He paused in front of the mirror frowning at his reflection. He use to be so proud of his looks but…it was hard to do it now when a pair of fangs reminded him of what he lost. Tears tried to well up again in the mismatched red and blue eyes before he furiously scrubbed them away. He set out to brush his teeth.
After that he went to do other parts of his routine. He turned on the tea pot. Changed out of his night clothes and into his day clothes the feeling of the wear brought comfort at this point. Finally putting his swords on his back before going to the kitchen and preparing his tea cup just before the kettle went off.
“Hey Shelldon I’m going to go to the surface” Leo called as soon as he finished with his tea.
“alright brah!” a small purple turtle shaped drone flew in from one of the rooms after hearing his name. “just be careful seems gang activity is rising again.”
“but of course it is.” Leo sighed. His stripes then glowed blue as he simply vanished from the room. Then appeared on top of a highly futuristic looking building in a equally futuristic city. Below humans and yokai meandered about together. “why do I have a weird feeling something is going to happen.”

A human teen blinked as his computer beeped. He tapped on a few key and mismatched eyes widened. He stood up and tapped again making sure what he read was correct.
“That’s- that’s such a weird signal of mystics and
…” he typed a bit more pulling up a screen with a bunch of dots on it. “it matches the other signals.”
“Sweetie weren’t you planning on going to the junkyard tonight?” a female voice called from outside his room.
“Ah thanks for reminding me mom!” the teen quickly got up tying his black hair up into a pony tail. Then throwing on a purple hoodie and purple high tech headphones. Finally grabbing a black duffle bag while rushing out of the room.
